ith summer just around the corner, the annual events for the season arise, including Fast Fridays. Fast Fridays is back with minimal changes as they are ready for guests to come out and enjoy another year of the motorsport.

Dave Joiner, co-owner and promoter of Fast Fridays Motorcycle Speedway, is busy setting everything up to have another successful year.

—— Voted best entertainment: The 2018 season will run 19 events.

Fast Fridays will be hosting a speedway demonstration at he the 4th of July celebration at the fairgrounds.

“We are very excited to start out the 2018 season, we will be running 19 events this year,” Joiner said. “We will also be putting on a Speedway demonstration at the 4th of July celebration at the fairgrounds.”

This is Joiner’s 24th season running Fast Fridays. When he first took over Fast Fridays it was a bit rough around the edges, but since, it has been cleaned it up a bit. It has been voted Best of the Best for Entertainment.

At the events there are food and beer concessions — something for all age groups. It is reveled for their clean venue and even their restrooms.

“I had a guy come up to me from Canada and has been to speedways all around the country and in Canada who pulled me aside and told me, ‘you’ve got the cleanest bathrooms of any speedway I have ever been to,’” Joiner said.

They are highly rewarded whether it is from their customer satisfaction, rider satisfaction and even actual awards and rankings. They have been awarded the AMA Track Racing Promoters of the Year three times.

“We have emerged in Auburn as the No. 1 speedway in America,” Joiner said. “There is a ranking list in the world and we are ranked 43 in the world, that is out of about 300 tracks.”

When visiting the track this summer, Joiner welcomes a greeting at the end of the night and feedback.

“One thing I do almost every Friday night is go to the exit gate and thank everybody for coming, we appreciate the business,” Joiner said. “We are really into satisfying those people who come out and support us.”

The most satisfying part for him is at the exit gate when a parent comes along with the kids and they all have a smile on their face. The kids can go

One longtime guest even celebrated his 100th birthday at the Speedway but passed away shortly after.

“He seemed really satisfied coming to the Speedway on a regular basis and he was excited that the kids liked it too,” Joiner said. “We really do have something for everyone.”

ucked away just off of Highway 49 out toward Hidden Falls, sits the nine-acre Nicholson Blown Glass studio.

Rick and Janet Nicholson have been creating blown glass art since 1981. This year they have decided to ease back from the business a bit and travel. With the upcoming North Auburn Art Studios Tour, Rick sees the event as a transition.

Taking over the helm is one of the Nicholson’s daughter, Hannah and her friend, Alana van Altena.

Nicholson Blown Glass is a team of five — one for metal work and four on glass blowing, depending on the complexity of the piece.

Layers of colored and clear glass from as far away as Germany and New Zealand are combined through a special lamination process.

Inside the studio, blue grass tunes play while glass artists concentrate on forming what will soon be a cactus vase.

The studio tour will feature Hannah and Alana’s new pieces that have not been shown before.

“This year will be different from the past. We like to keep it fresh for customers and ourselves,” Rick said.

The studio will be demonstrating both days of the tour.

What may look like a random process is a planned out piece.

“We make the smaller fragile pieces first. Like the flowers for our cactus,” Alana said.

Alana references Hannah’s sketch as she forms the shape of the cactus.

“She draws more than I do and has more drawing skills. It’s really helpful.

It’s hard to go backwards,” Alana said.

“It’s easier to communicate with your team member than explain what your thinking,” Rick said.

Nicholson Blown glass often uses sketches in mockups for commercial projects. The customer needs to have an accurate idea of what to expect.

The largest piece was 26 plates for a medical facility in Tennessee. The person installing it needs to accurately know how to lay out the installation.

Janet and Rick started with small vases in the beginning. The plates that they are known for were, according to Rick, “halfway on accident.”

“A plate folded and stuck to itself.

Customers wanted more. It was hard to duplicate. Too much randomness but then it evolved,” he explained.

The glass studio configures to what the artists are creating at the time.

“It’s hard to do this for fun because the furnace runs all the time. It’s never off,” Rick said.

Nostalgia and reminiscence

CRUISE NITE IS AN AUBURN CLASSIC STORY BY PAIGE SMITH ▼ COURTESY AND FILE PHOTOS

T

his year marks the 34th annual Auburn Cruise Nite. A beloved monthly event that brings out nostalgia and community to reminisce and admire classic cars from 1972 or older.

“It started at Foster Freeze in Auburn in 1984 and moved to the downtown area in Auburn between High and Elm Street,” Bob Kennedy explained. “We block off all four blocks and average about 300 cars a night.”

From May to September, the second Friday of the month from 5 to 9 p.m., is dedicated to the memories and awe of viewing the various types of classic cars.

14

There are food vendors lining the road and car-associated vendors for families and individuals to learn more and get to know each other.

“People bring their cars from all over, from Sacramento, Stockton and the Bay Area,” Kennedy said. “We have the usual people who come out with their car each month, but then people who never come out.”

The last evening of the season this year is Sept.

14 and will feature a remembrance for 9/11.

“9/11 happened prior to one of the events, both men running the event then were ex-military,” Kennedy said. “They knew that the show

must go on basically and did an impromptu get-together and it has been a continued tradition.”

Each evening of the event includes about 40 volunteers between the afternoon and the evening to help set up for the evening and then clean up at the end — they try to leave the space in better shape than when they arrived.

The hardest part of the event is that cars must be parked legally before 5 p.m. until the streets can be blocked off. There is about an hour of moving 300 cars backing into their spots, so the volunteers are helping direct the drivers.

Kennedy explained that he takes the volunteers to breakfast beforehand and then takes everyone out for dinner at the end of the season as a thank you for their help.

This is a free event that invites classic car enthusiasts and the community to come out and enjoy. He explains that this event is truly a family atmosphere about classic cars.

It is advised for newcomers who want to show their classic car to make sure to get there early and save a spot.

And don’t worry too much about its condition.

“We aren’t just looking for the cars that just have the recent paint job and that are pristine. We are looking for the cars that are brought out in the middle of the restoration,” Kennedy smiled. “It may have the engine done but not the interior or maybe the interior is done but not the paint.”

PRODUCE

Greens: Jan Thompson, owner of Newcastle Produce, bundles green garlic for the vegetable bin at the store. The green garlic, which is available only in early spring, was freshly picked from the Thompsons’ Twin Brooks Farm in Loomis.

Put the white parts and green tops in a blender, add olive oil and you have a delicious pesto, Thompson said.

Get to know your leafy greens LOW CALORIE, HEALTHY, VERSATILE STORY AND PHOTOS BY GLORIA YOUNG

H

ow well do you know your leafy greens?

Bundled on shelves at the farmers’ market or grocery store, they may look similar. But each kind has a distinct flavor.

Pick one, some or all — they are healthy, low calorie and versatile.

At Natural Trading Company in Newcastle, owner Bryan Kaminsky has some type of leafy green growing year round.

“October through January is best for greens in general in our area,” he said. “We have some under plastic to protect them from the cold. If we get cold temperatures, it makes the greens sweeter. In the summer, there’s a lot of pest pressure.”

Arugula Looking for something to spice up a salad?

Arugula, with its small peppery leaves, is a good choice.

18

And it will grow year-round in our area, Kaminsky said.

“Arugula is pretty easy to grow,” said Jan Thompson, owner of Newcastle Produce in Newcastle and Twin Brooks Farm in Loomis. “If you are picking it for salad, you can have leaves in 30 days and big enough to bunch in 45 days. I like it best at 30 days.”

Collard greens Collard greens — part of the cabbage family — are mild and usually served cooked.

“They get the size of a dinner plate and have a mild taste similar to cabbage,” Thompson said.

FOOTHILL MAGAZINE

2018_05 Foothill Magazine.indd 18

4/23/18 4:45 PM

Kale Kale in its numerous varieties is tasty raw or cooked.

“You can use it in salad if you get it small three inches tall or so,” Thompson said. “You have to strip out the center rib because that is tough.

Then slice it across the grain in thin strips. You can stir fry it, too. Any greens are good stir fried with onions and garlic. I like it in soups. We do a soup with a Portuguese kale and white beans with sausage, that’s really good.”

When growing it in the home garden, kale is best as a fall, winter and spring crop. Once summer heat arrives, it is vulnerable to pests.

Natural Trading Company produces a lot of kale.

“We grow Dino kale (Lacinato), red Russian, redbor (red curly one), white Russian and four or five more varieties,” Kaminsky said. “There’s a Dino kale that has a ruby red stem to it, which is interesting.”

When picked small, kale goes well with sunflower greens, pea shoots and lettuce in a salad — and add some herbs like parsley or even basil for extra flavor, he said

Mustard greens Mustard greens are peppery — even more peppery than arugula.

“The bigger they grow, the more spicy they get,” Thompson said.

They are widely used in the south.

While the leaves are small, they work as salad greens. But cook them when the leaves get big.

“In the south they cook them with ham and onions and garlic,” Thompson said. “They will hold up to long-time cooking. In my experience, they are not nearly as popular as the other (leafy greens), except the small salad ones. You’ll find them in some of our spring mixes.”

Swiss chard Swiss chard is another green that works well in salads in its small-leaf form.

When it is bigger, it is good steamed.

“You don’t have to take out the center rib.

It is not tough at all,” Thompson said. “It will cook very similar to celery. I take the stem that’s behind the leaf and cut it up into pieces and cook that for a minute or two before I throw in the rest of the leaves because it takes a little longer for the stem to cook.”

Swiss chard is available in several colors, but the taste is the same.

While it grows best in cooler weather, chard handles the heat better than kale, is more pest

resistant and will do better in the garden after the weather warms. Kaminsky grows it year-round.

“Chard and kale are two entirely different plant families and attract totally different pests,” Thompson said. “They can be planted side by side.”

GREEN GARLIC PESTO

Beet greens

INGREDIENTS

If you like chard, then give beet leaves a try.

“The tops of beets are just like chard,” Thompson said. “They taste the same. Chard is a beet propagated for the leaves rather than the fruit.”

“Beet greens are so sweet and delicious,” Kaminsky said. “The best way to cook them is in coconut oil in hot pan. They cook very fast in the high heat and in two minutes are ready to eat.”

About 1 ½ cups of green garlic (white part and tops) About ½ cup of olive oil Salt to taste

Mizuna Mizuna, an Asian green, is a type of mustard. It is mainly used in salads, but can be stir fried, too.

“All of our Asian greens do well in winter and spring,” Kaminsky said. “Mizuna is a easy to grow from seed and is very fast growing.”

Kohlrabi Kohlrabi leaves are similar to cabbage, Brussels sprouts and broccoli leaves.

“It’s very similar in texture to a collard leaf and has similar flavor,” Kaminsky said.” If I pick leaves off Brussels sprouts or broccoli, it’s hard to tell from smaller collard.”

Microgreens Microgreens are exactly that — often made up of the leaves of lettuce, radish, spinach and arugula.

Any greens that you can grow to a big size, you can also cultivate as a microgreen, Thompson said.

Use them raw in a salad or as a garnish. Don’t cook them.

Wheatgrass A specialty at Natural Trading Company is wheat grass.

“That’s what put us on the map,” Kaminsky said. “We sell it to Whole Foods and Raley’s.

The thing about wheatgrass is that humans can’t digest it. It is like eating a blade of grass. “(Cows) can digest it, because they have four stomachs,” he said.

Kaminsky separates the roughage and extracts the juice. “(The juice) is really healthy,” he said. “It tastes like you just ate a blade of grass from the front lawn.

It’s a powerful elixir — really concentrated energy.”

This great green garlic pesto is delicious as a topping for bread, pizza, pasta, baked potatoes, fish or chicken.

DIRECTIONS

1. Puree all the ingredients until smooth in a blender or food processor, adding enough olive oil to create a good spreading consistency.

2. Optional: Add a handful of pine nuts or other nuts, basil or other herbs, Parmesan or other cheese, hot peppers, or whatever pleases you. ~ Recipe courtesy of Jan Thompson, owner of Newcastle Produce

Swiss chard

RECIPE

IN SPRINGTIME

S TESSA MARGUERITE In the Kitchen

wiss chard has to be one of the most beautiful vegetables I have ever seen. Its large, green leaves are ribbed with veins of pink, purple or red that run down to the pearly white or colored stem. Since I rarely eat Swiss chard, and have never cooked with it, I decided to try something completely new and different with a Swiss chard and tomato casserole.

Swiss chard is in season right now and will be throughout summer — as will other leafy greens such as kale and arugula — so it will likely be at any farmers’ market in your area. I love going to the farmers’ market that’s just four blocks from where I live and buying vegetables fresh from the ground. But since that market is only once a week, I find myself at Safeway quite often. Wandering the produce section, I spotted the vibrant Swiss chard in the organic section and began perusing for the two bunches that looked just right for my casserole. Sometimes when I’m at the grocery store gathering ingredients for my next recipe, I wonder about where my food is coming from. I began thinking about what it really meant for produce to be “organic” and later learned (from Goolging it, yes) that the definition is this: Grown without the use of pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, sewage sludge, genetically modified organisms or ionizing radiation.

Sewage sludge? OK, well that alone makes me want to grow all my own produce or buy organic everything. Following this discovery, I bought a little tomato plant so that I could grow my very own tomatoes in my backyard. I’m

nowhere near being a gardener, so they may end up black and shriveled in the dirt — but I am a very hopeful person, so maybe they’ll be awesome.

Since I have never cooked with Swiss chard and don’t make too many casseroles, this recipe was destined to be an adventure. Swiss chard is also sometimes called silver beet, perpetual spinach, beet spinach or seakale beet. Although it is quite firm, the stems of Swiss chard soften quickly in a pot of boiling water. When making the casserole, be careful not to let them soften too much, as the chard, and other ingredients still, have an hour to go in the oven surrounded by bubbling cheese, broth and bread. Speaking of bread, the French bread loaf does not necessarily need to be a dayold, but it will soak up the broth a little better if it is drier.

Sometimes small bakeries sell day-old bread or end-of-theday bread for a discounted price.

Layering the casserole is the fun part, and kids can help, too. But before the layering starts, don’t forget to butter the dish. I usually just get a bit of butter on a paper towel and run it along the bottom and edges of the dish. A butter spray will work just as well. When that’s done, the first step of the layering is placing the sliced French bread in the bottom of the dish so that it covers, or nearly covers, the dish.

If some of the pieces are overlapping that’s fine. Next, add some color with thick slices of tomato. Topping the tomato will the chard mixture with tomatoes and onions. Then comes the shredded cheese. Feel free to use more or less of the gruyere, according to your own taste and preference.

This Allergy Season...

After you have repeated the layering steps one more time, and finished with bread on top, slowly pour the hot broth over the casserole. Be sure to douse each top piece of bread or it will burn.

Pressing down the casserole will push out any air pockets ensures even baking in the oven. Brushing the top with melted butter will make the final result a bit crispier on top. Then just cover it with a piece of foil and leave it to bake for an hour.

This recipe is a good one for if you’re having a few people over or just looking for something new. If made with vegetable broth, it is vegetarian, and can be made vegan by omitting the butter. Savor each warm, melty bite, and pair with a dry, white wine — I used the wine that was in the recipe. Enjoy a meal that tastes as good as Swiss chard looks with this delicious, savory casserole.

GC-23307_1

1. In a large pot of boiling water, cook the Swiss chard for two minutes; drain. When the leaves are cool enough to handle, squeeze out the excess water. Coarsely chop the chard.

2. In the same pot, heat the olive oil. Add the onions, mushrooms and thyme and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until softened; about 12 minutes. Add the chard and the wine and simmer over medium-high heat until the wine is reduced to 1/4 cup; about 5 minutes. Season with pepper.

3. Preheat the oven to 400°.

4. In a small saucepan, bring the stock to a simmer. Butter the casserole dish. Line the bottom of the dish with one-third of the bread, overlapping the slices slightly and cutting the bread to fit. Top with half of the tomato slices and season with salt and pepper. Spread half of the chard on top, and then sprinkle with half of the cheese.

Repeat the layering once and finish with the remaining bread. Pour the hot stock over the casserole and press down with a spatula.

Brush the top with the melted butter (optional).

5. Cover with foil and bake for one hour. Uncover the dish and bake for about 10 minutes longer until the top is browned and crisp. Let cool before serving.

What’s on tap in Loomis?

INSIDE THE LOOMIS BASIN BREWING COMPANY STORY AND PHOTOS BY AARON TWEETON

T

ucked away off Swetzer Road is one of Placer County’s prized breweries: the Loomis Basin Brewing Company, which has been serving people since 2010.

The brewery, owned by father-and-son team Jim and Kenny Gowan, offer six year-around beers, plus 11 seasonals.

STANDING OUT

The staff at the Loomis Basin Brewing Company aim to adhere to the Loomis motto: “A small town is like a big family.”

“We try to treat all of our patrons like regulars and friends, making everyone feel welcome,” said Clancy McCrory, brewery tasting room manager and event coordinator of the Loomis Basin Brewing Company.

McCrory has worked at the brewery for over four years as the taproom manager and events coordinator. She oversees bands, food trucks, private par-

Jim and Kenny make amazing beer. We try to have a good balanced mix of IPAs, lighter styles; a couple of darker beers, a little bit more malty for people not interested in a Buxom Blonde (pilsner).”

ties, and events like the Oktoberfest and upcoming Placer County Rocks in May. “Jim and Kenny make amazing beer,” McCrory said. “We try to have a good balanced mix of IPAs, lighter styles; a couple of darker beers, a little bit more malty for people not interested in a Buxom Blonde (pilsner).”

Each of the different beers comes with a unique name and label, designed to look like a vintage fruit crate label.

POPULAR ON TAP Alohawk

“Alohawk is definitely what we’re most known for,” McCrory said “We have it as a private label for Beach Hut Deli so you only find it on tap here or at their locations.”

The beer is also available bottled, which is distributed throughout Placer County and the rest of the state.

“It’s super popular. It’s very smooth.

It’s light tasting, but it’s actually 8 percent so it’s got a kick to it,” McCrory said regarding the alcoholic volume content of the popular brew.

Vindicator IPA Vindicator IPA is “one of our flagship IPAs,” McCrory said. “It’s really well balanced; pretty easy drinking.”

It’s described on the brewery’s website as having a “big hop aroma fills the nose with tangerine, grapefruit and a hint of pine.” IPA is an acronym for India pale ale, which is generally

a lighter, more bitter style of beer.

The word “India” in IPA harks back to the brewing history when the United Kingdom ruled over India.

Golden Eagle Mandarin Wheat The Loomis Basin Brewing’s Golden Eagle Mandarin Wheat is an American-style wheat beer infused with one of Placer County’s most popular crops.

“We use whole local mandarins through Sunset Ridge Farms,” McCrory said. “They pulverize it and then we add that into the beer.”

Allgood IPA Growing in popularity is their Allgood IPA, which is another IPA sporting a colorful label that looks like it came straight from the late 1980s or early 1990s.

“It’s a hazy, New England IPA,” McCrory said. “It’s made with oats so it’s got a much smoother body to it, but it’s got some nice, intense, tropical flavors to it as well.”

POURING OUT FOR PLACER COUNTY ROCKS

As part of the Sacramento Beer Week celebration this May, the Loomis Basin Brewing Company is hosting Placer County Rocks at the Quarry in Rocklin.

“We’re hosting it as a showcase for Placer County Breweries,” McCrory said. “We’re pouring pints from all the

different breweries in Placer County.

We’re having local music as well.”

Performing at the event are Island of Black and White, One Love Nation, Kurrency King, ZuhG, and Hans Anderson. For more information on the event, visit PlacerCountyRocks.

Trap shooting today AUBURN TRAP SHOOTING CLUB HOSTS YOUTH TEAMS, TEACHES SAFETY STORY AND PHOTOS BY TESSA MARGUERITE

T

he Auburn Trap Shooting Club was started in the late 1940s in a cow pasture off Auburn-Folsom Road, owned by Orin Ellingston, before moving to its current location on Lorenson Road.

The old traps were operated manually by one man sitting at the 25-yard line, cocking and releasing the clay targets with a long steel rod. Today the clay disks are released automatically by a machine encased in a wooden “house,” 16 to 27 yards away.

Aiming for a total of 25 clays, the shooter moves through five stations facing the meadow from slightly different angles. The firearm used is either a 12- or 20-gauge shotgun.

“It’s not hard to learn if you have any sort of hand of eye coordination,” said Chris Slane, club president and chief operation officer. He added that although trap shooting has traditionally been a man’s sport, many women shoot now, too. “In my opinion the only thing the men do better than the women is push a heavy object up a hill,” Slane said.

Slane started trap shooting in the late ‘80s, but when his son started competing age 11, he traveled with him and began shooting more regularly. His son stopped shooting in high school, but still holds some records for trap shooting.

One of the club’s major goals is to promote firearms safety. When not at the firing line, all guns are carried with

the breech open and unloaded and are brought to and from the firing line with the muzzles pointed toward the ground or sky. On the firing line, use of eye and ear protection is required.

In an effort to reach into the community and recruit younger members, the club provides shells, ammunition and instruction to local Boy Scouts who are pursuing a shotgun shooting merit badge. Seven school teams compete in their own league and use the club’s fields to train.

One of the youth teams that train at the club is the Junior Del Oro Trap Team for sixth- through eighth-graders. Kendal Benoit is 10 years old and is competing with the team for the second year. The Newcastle Elementary School student said she began trap

shooting when her grandpa took her out to the field to try it. “It’s really fun,” Benoit said. “I like that you can meet new people and they’re usually all nice.”

Unlike many school sports, there is no “bench” in trap shooting and the teams are co-ed; everyone on the team gets an equal chance to shoot clay targets.

The club consists of about 300 members, but it’s growing. The board and all of the people helping new and young trap shooters are volunteers.

Slane said a large part of the members’ contributions go to support local halfway homes for women, Placer football and other sporting teams and sponsoring young shooters whose families don’t have the resources. “We gave about $11,000 to the community last year,” Slane said. “To me that’s

more important — that the club contributes to the community.” The club also sponsors youth competitions and charity shoots, and is a site for registered competitive shoots staged under the auspices of the Pacific International Trap Shooting Association.

Although the trap club is private, guests may shoot on certain days upon appointment. First-timers will be given a short history on the sport, a lot of safety about the gun and its potential and everything else they need to learn how to trap shoot. There is no age limit, but Slane said they are more cautious with younger people and are watchful of their maturity and safety. “We suggest the younger ones start with a smaller gun,” Slane said.

“They wobble.”
