There’s a science to understanding someone who can’t speak. From the moment you’re born, you begin to communicate. The words and language may come a little later, but the effort to make your point known — that’s pretty immediate. The art and the science is being able to really listen and understand what is unspoken. At UC Davis Health, we make it a point to look closer, to find out more — whether under a microscope, or face to face. Then and only then can we truly understand you. No matter your age. We want to partner with you in your care. When it’s time to choose your health insurance this fall, make sure your health plan gives you access to a UC Davis Health doctor. To learn more or to find a clinic near you – including our clinic in Auburn, visit ChooseHealth.ucdavis.edu.

Flying home

SINGLE-ENGINE AIRCRAFT IN AUBURN BY GLORIA YOUNG • COURTESY PHOTOS More than 150 single-engine aircraft call Auburn Municipal Airport home. They range from workhorses for business to pleasure craft to vintage and experimental planes. Some are home- built. Many of them have a unique past. Jack Prock has been a pilot for 30 years. He has owned several planes, including a Grumman Cheetah. But he always wanted to build one. “In 2006 I convinced my wife and we went out and bought a kit,” he said. He spent 3,000 hours over a period of more than seven years building the Velocity XL-RG in his garage. "It was a fun experience to build a plane,” he said. “I actually like building it a lot more than I like flying it. You don’t build a plane unless you enjoy working with your hands.’ Prock attended Experimental Aircraft Association classes to learn the techniques of building a plane. “EAA also has a program called tech counselor,” he said. “Someone from the EAA chapter visits you at your home while you are building the plane and checks to see you are doing things right. He came out about once a year. It was kind of neat.” 8

Prock flew the plane for the first time in 2013 at the Lincoln airport. “The unique thing about this plane is that the engine is in the back,” he said. “It is a knockoff of the VariEze designed by Burt Rutan in the 1970s.” That plane has been described as a “motorcycle with wings.” Velocity took the basic design and made a whole new airplane out of it. “The original VariEze was single passenger. My plane is a four-passenger,” Prock said. “It is the size of a small midsize sedan inside.” Cruise speed is 190 knots (about 210 mph).” “It does exactly what I want it to do,” he said. He uses it for business trips to the Bay Area, but mainly he and his wife use it for pleasure trips. “More often than not it is going to Monterey for the weekend or to Napa for wine tasting,” he said. Prock is a volunteer in the local Experimental Aircraft Association chapter’s Young Eagles program, which introduces preteens and teens to flying. “They are pretty excited about it,” Prock said of his young passengers. “Most of the kids, when they see it, say that’s the one they want to fly.”

Ercoupe

Maynard Smith’s 1946 Ercoupe is built more like a car. “Right after the war, a couple of large department stores sold them,” Smith said. “It was actually on the fifth floor at a Macy’s store in the east. I have a copy of the ad for it.” Smith’s love of flying developed unexpectedly. “I was not really interested in aviation,” he said. “When I got out of the Army, my college roommate — and eventual business partner — decided he wanted to have an airplane and go fast. So we went out a bought a $700 Ercoupe in 1960 and then looked around to find someone to show us how to fly it.” A family friend who had been a flight instructor during the war taught them the basics. After getting a pilot’s license, Smith moved up to a

Beechcraft Bonanza. “I flew that plane for 38 years,” he said. When he sold it, he bought another Ercoupe. “It’s simple to fly,” he said about the Ercoupe. “As long as you don’t let it get too slow close to the ground, it is almost impossible to do anything stupid because there are no rudder pedals.” He uses the two-seater for short and long trips, including to the EAA AirVenture gathering held annually in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. He is also a volunteer pilot in the EAA’s Young Eagles program.

Vintage ex-military airplanes

The Dwelle family, owners of Flyers Energy in Auburn, has multiple aircraft at the Auburn Airport including three vintage ex-military type airplanes. Two are World War II trainers. “The first is a 1940 Harvard II,” Ken Dwelle said. “Its name is Tinkertoy. We have owned that airplane twice. We bought it in 1987 and had it until 1990 when we traded it for another plane. Then we bought it back in 2004 and still own it to this day.” They used the plane to compete in the Reno Air Races. “When we bought it back again 14 years later, it was part of racing and it was an old friend and available and a good airplane and we wanted it back,” he said. It is a two-seater, one in front of the other, with the back seat for the trainer. It weighs about 5,000 pounds, has a 600 horsepower air-cooled radial engine and retractable landing gear. “It is fully aerobatic and a lot of fun,” Dwelle said. It is the Canadian version of the aircraft. The Dwelles also have the American version of the same plane — an SNJ-6, built in 1944. “It spent most of its time in the military as a hack,” Dwelle said. “It was assigned to various fighter units for

use as a trainer and an airplane to go cross-country.” After it was surplused, the plane was taken to Arizona. Its next home was the prison in Tracy, where it was used as an instructional tool in the trade school program. “We bought it in 1999 and spent three years putting it together,” Dwelle said. “It literally came in a thousand pieces.” These days the Dwelles fly both of the planes just for fun — in formations, parade and holiday flyovers and air shows. They also have a 1953 Hawker Sea Fury. “It’s a Korean War vintage British naval fighter,” he said. “It has folding bolting wings to go on a carrier.” The Sea Fury weighs 12,000 pounds, has 3,000 horsepower and goes 450 mph. “My dad raced it until 2003. After that, it sat for a period if time,” Dwelle said. “Then we embarked on restoring it back to stock condition. It took a little over 10 years to do a complete restoration.” The three planes are available for displays. They are also on view during display days the first week of April and August when the Auburn Airport opens its hangars for public viewing. Newcastle resident Duane Rueb’s Kitfox 5 Safari is home built, but was already assembled when he purchased it from a flying enthusiast in Florida. Its side bubble window offers an amazing view but took a little getting used to. “The side glass goes all the way to the floor,” he said. “When I first started flying, it sort of bothered me that I could see all the way to the ground.” The plane has a history of winning awards, including best fabric two years in a row in 1997-1998 at a show in Florida, attesting to the quality and care that went into its creation, Rueb said. “The fabric was done by a woman who does it professionally and the paint was done professionally,” he said. “The instrument panel was done by a specialized house that does just that. The graphics on the instrument panel look like factory quality. It is quite beautiful. The airplane is stunning.” The two-seater can cruise up to 130 knots (about 126 mph). Since he bought the plane in 2006, Rueb has added some personal touches, including upgrading the landing gear. The Ruebs use their plane for flights to Oregon and other sightseeing and pleasure trips.

Cessna 195

Evan Wolfe likes the Cessna 195 so much that he has owned two of them. “I had my first one for eight years and then sold it,” he said. “But I always missed it. Wolfe has been a pilot since his teenage years and is now into his sixth decade of flying. “I’ve had a lot of unusual planes,” he said. “My specialty was flying ex-World War II military planes.” That a includes flying a “You don’t North American T-28C in air show acrobatics. build a plane “When I stopped aerobatics, I decided to get another unless you Cessna,” he said. enjoy working He bought his current Cessna 195 in New Orleans. with your “I fixed this one up to be my dream 195,” he said. “It has hands.” been converted to a bigger engine. Then I converted it Jack Prock to fuel injection and put in a whole bunch of modifications including extra radio navigation equipment.” Wolfe, an attorney, is an advanced flight instructor and instrument flight instructor. “So I wanted the plane to be instrument capable for flying in marginal weather,” he said. When it was built in 1953, it was the top-of-the-line single-engine plane for Cessna. The Cessna 195 series was built from 1947 to 1954, he said. He puts the classic five-seater on static display at air shows.

LONGHORN MEAT GATHERS CUSTOMER RECIPES

BY PAIGE SMITH • COURTESY PHOTOS

Are you ready for fresh, local ingredients and recipes to service your next holiday get together? Just in time for the holiday season, Longhorn Meat Co. is offering an original customer-based recipe cookbook. “We are collecting recipes from our customers based on what they purchase here and what they make with it,” Manager Ashley Countryman said. “The proceeds will go to local schools to delinquent school lunches for families who cannot afford it.” This announcement from the store came in August and customers were notified at the store and on social media. The letter included the required details to make the cookbook unique and keep it local. “We’re asking for recipes for the food that you buy from Longhorn Meat Company. What is your favorite

meal? What is your favorite vegetable with the piece of meat you bought from Longhorns? What wine do you pair with your meat? Send us your recipes and a picture of the meal or the meat on the grill, or both. If you went to school in Placer County tell us the school and the year.” Once received, the recipes are sent over to a customer who is helping the Longhorn Team put the cookbook together. All proceeds will be going toward paying off the lunch delinquencies for schools in Placer County. Longhorn Meat Co. is an old-fashioned butcher shop that has been serving the greater Auburn area since 1976. Originally founded in Newcastle, owner and operator Phil Kattenhorn grew up working with his father, the original owner of Longhorn Meat Co. When Kattenhorn took over the family business, he moved the shop up to the current

FOOTHILL MAGAZINE

MANDARIN FESTIVAL BY PAIGE SMITH • COURTESY PHOTOS Twenty-five years ago, the Newcastle Area Business Association started the Mandarin Festival in downtown Newcastle, the goal was to promote mandarin growing in Placer County. At the first event there were only four mandarin vendors and 10 craft vendors. Gary Gilligan, executive director for the event, explained that the festival moved to the Gold County Fairgrounds in 2001 and the event has progressed to a three-day event. The festival serves as a kick off to mandarin season in Placer County. “Last year we hosted 25,000 people and raised and donated over $500,000 to local nonprofits,” Gilligan said. “We fund five senior scholarships that the Newcastle Area Business Association hands out each year and also have a culinary scholarship that is provided annually.” This year the 25th annual Mandarin Festival will have many exciting changes and new additions that will accompany the milestone. Guests will be able to enjoy 17 mandarin growers, 225 craft and commercial vendors and 15 food vendors. Gilligan said that all hot food vendors have to offer at least one item using mandarin oranges. New additions to this weekend-long event will include a family fun run, a synthetic ice-skating rink and a craft mandarin beer contest.

Above and at right, photos from the 2018 Mandarin Festival.

The Heritage Festival Foundation is installing the synthetic ice-skating rink, it will be Auburn’s first skating rink for the holidays for family and friends to enjoy all season long. Starting Sunday, Nov.18, the first annual Run for the Mandarins will take off. This is a family fun 5k event that allows family and friends to run through the streets of Auburn, starting at the fairgrounds. Prefer to enjoy craft beer? Make sure to stop by for the craft mandarin beer contest. Local craft breweries have been invited to enter their ales. The festival will have a panel of judges and crown the best mandarin beer. Don’t worry, the judges won’t be the only ones to enjoy the craft beer options, festival attendees will also have a chance to try the beers. A kid’s zone will feature pony rides, a petting zoo and more. There are three stages that will include a variety of entertainment. “One stage will offer cooking demonstrations with mandarin recipes, another is a kid’s stage that is being sponsored by the Farm Bureau,” Gilligan said. “The last stage is the community stage, which will include local dancers, the salvation army and other local groups.”

“Last year we hosted 25,000 people and raised and donated over $500,000 to local nonprofits.” Gary Gilligan

Little horse with lots of love MINIATURE HORSE BRINGS PEOPLE HEALING

BY GLORIA YOUNG • PHOTOS COURTESY OF BLACKWOOD RANCH Health care is about more than doctor visits and medication. Friendships and laughter also can play an important role. At Siena Care Center in Auburn, a miniature therapy horse is providing smiles, comfort and bonding moments to patients. Big Daddy, as he is known, visits the facility twice a month from Blackwood Ranch in Loomis. “The joy he brings to the entire building is contagious, “Siena Director of Admissions and Marketing Solia M. Lechuga said in an email. “Socializing can be a real big part of the healing process for our patients — both short term and long term.” On his visits, Big Daddy takes a guided tour throughout the building. 18

“We have a patio garden with a fountain where patients greet him,” Lechuga said. “He goes into the activities room. He also goes to the patients who aren’t able to come to activities. He goes into their room or to their door. He even visits the nurses at the nurses’ station.” He spends two hours or more interacting with patients. “Some will pet him and hug him or they groom his feet,” she said. “He is very lovable. It is heartwarming to see. How can you see a miniature horse and not want to pet him?” The 29-inch-tall horse has been warming hearts at nursing facilities, schools and hospitals for about five years, Blackwood Ranch owner Alicia Blackwood said. “We actually wrote a book this year and published it through Amazon — ‘The adventures of big Daddy, the miniature therapy horse,’” she said.

Miniature horse Big Daddy interacts with patients during his visits to area nursing facilities.

The book includes photos of some of the patients Big Daddy has visited. Blackwood gives out the books to children and at nursing homes when children are there. Big Daddy also visits the Loomis Library quarterly and has been to Parker Whitney Elementary School in Rocklin. Blackwood opened the nonprofit in 2015 and has seen a steady increase in interest in her therapy programs. “We’re now up to five miniature horses and two miniature “The joy he brings donkeys,” she said. “There are also two miniature goats and to the entire building two miniature pigs.” In addition to outreach, is contagious.” Blackwood opens the ranch to the public for an event each Solia Lechuga, Siena director quarter. of admissions and marketing “At the ranch we have trick horses,” she said. “They bow and smile and wave and lie down. Our whole passion and goal is to bring joy to others and bring smiles and happiness — whether through education and performing or through outreach with miniature animals.” Blackwood, a victim of sexual crime, suffers from PTSD and has found relief through interacting with animals. “What I realized when I was around them is that I didn’t feel anxiety or stress,” she said. “I could face my fears. It was taking that away that stress and anxiety and making me feel strong. I wanted to share that with others.” She bought her first ranch 12 years ago.

“I seek out safe animals that are not a risk to the public” she said. “A lot of times they are older animals and their temperament is very calm. It gives people a chance to be exposed to ranch animals and have that therapy.” And she sees that very clearly in Big Daddy’s visits around the community. “As soon as I take him into stressful situations, I can see change in the energy,” she said. Siena Care is an inpatient skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility. “We offer physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy for patients who need to come to rehabilitation,” Lechuga said. There’s also outpatient therapy and a wound care program. Activities for patients include religious services, current events discussions, movies, spa treatments, bingo with prizes and musical performers. NOVEMBER 2018

This year, the first Cornish Christmas event will be the day after Thanksgiving and the last one will be right before Christmas. Three thousand to 5,000 guests are expected to attend and the first and last Cornish Christmas events are generally the most populated. While attending the event, there is an opportunity to share photos with friends, family and the community with the event's own signature hashtags: #CornishChristmas2018 and #grassvalleydowntownassociation. There is a map on their website of available parking. Marshall added that there is a pay-for-parking lot at South Auburn and Neal Street, as well as public parking at the City Hall Lot and at Richardson and North Auburn.

Festival of lights PARADE IN DECEMBER FOOTHILL STAFF • FILE PHOTOS Foothill residents and those from around the region will line the streets of downtown Auburn Dec. 2 for the annual Festival of Lights Parade. This year’s theme is “The magic of lights” and the magic will include bands, animals and of course floats created with an abundance of sparking luminaries. Santa will be visiting kids and spending time with families at the end of the parade. “This event really kicks off the holiday season,” said Steve Galyardt, Festival of Lights Parade organizer in a previous interview. Local businesses and people from the community make it a special time for Auburn residents. “People can celebrate the holiday season and have Santa come to town,” Galyardt said. The parade holds a special place in Galyardt’s heart, as being one of the reasons he finally settled in Auburn. “I fell in love with Auburn just watching this parade,” he said. “It’s really what our town is about.” The parade route is around a half of a mile. It starts at Cherry Avenue and Lincoln Way in Auburn and ends at the Gold Country Fairgrounds with the Delights of December event. If it rains on Dec. 1, the rescheduled date is Dec. 3.

Winterfest COLFAX PREPARES FOR SEASONAL CELEBRATION BY PAIGE SMITH • FILE PHOTOS

“Winterfest is Colfax’s way of starting and sharing the Christmas season; from the street vendors, with their Christmas fare, to our merchants showcasing their wares,” Frank Klein, Colfax Area Chamber of Commerce president, said. “The holiday spirit comes alive with barrel bonfires, our churches caroling, our Friends of the Library with Santa Claus, Christmas lights lighting-up Downtown, and the toppers are the Colfax Lions Light Parade, and the fireworks.” And there are many more opportunities for families and friends to experience this Christmas season at Winterfest, such as learning about Colfax’s history of trains, gold panning and art. “Similar to last year, we will have vendors on both sides of the tracks; Santa’s Village will be located in the Old Train Depot,” Andrews said. “The Colfax Lions Club will be putting on another amazing light parade and then we will close the event with our Winterfest fireworks display.” This year they will have longer hours, more vendors, better planning to make it a better festival, said Rachel Christian, Colfax Area Heritage Museum director. Klein adds that there are lots of things that children of all ages should see, not only along Main St., but over by the Historic Train Depot and of course staking out a good vantage point for the Light Parade. The chamber is anticipating anywhere between 3,000 to 4,000 people. They also suggest that attendees should plan to stay for a while, if not all day, said Amy Andrews, Colfax Area Chamber of Commerce executive director. “Since this is an outdoor event, the weather plays a major role in the amount of attendees,” Andrews said. “The weather was perfect last year, and we are hoping for the same this year.” Since the winter season is here, visitors should plan to dress warmly as well as wear comfortable shoes since there is much walking. Bringing a chair is a good idea to watch the parade and fireworks, Christian suggested. “Check the weather but usually warm coats that will keep you dry, gloves, fur lined hats,” Klein said. “We’ve had snow on this weekend in the past, which enhances the beauty of it all, so be prepared.” Klein explains that parking in their small town can be interesting, usually they have handicapped parking at U.S. Bank. The residents of Colfax are aware of the parking situations so parking along city streets is usually accepted. “Enjoy the small-town family atmosphere with a fun filled Holiday event,” Tim Ryan, Colfax Area Chamber of Commerce secretary, said. 22

Victorian Christmas

TRADITIONAL EVENT IN NEVADA CITY BY PAIGE SMITH • COURTESY PHOTOS

“Victorian Christmas is like a page out of a Charles Dickens novel, with costumed characters and street performers of every kind, hearty foods and stout libations, and hundreds of vendors hawking their wares along the narrow Victorian streets in Nevada City,” Lex Matteini, publicist for Nevada City Chamber of Commerce, said. Walking the streets of downtown Nevada City, visitors will be able to go back in time to 19th century Victorian England. Guests can except performers like a brass band and the Sierra Singers in traditional Victorian clothing, local bagpipers and local kids playing instruments like violins and trumpets. When evening falls and the cool air kicks in, dozens will be next to a big fire beside Cecil Snow, who is roasting chestnuts. Matteini describes this as a beautiful sight with wonderful smells from the food area nearby. The old firehouse invites guests inside to meet Santa Claus. Another popular item that will always have a line is the mulled wine, Matteini said. The signature characters are Father Christmas, Cecil Snow, The Walking Christmas Tree and Toy Soldier. To keep up with tradition, they try to keep the same thing year to year. “The most recent change was that The Walking Christmas Tree is now accompanied by a new character, Toy Soldier,” Matteini said. Thousands of guests and community members are expected to attend. The streets are expected to be packed with vendors, performers and revelers of all ages. The local vendors create and bring many things including eclectic, intricate, handmade items, pottery, soaps, and more. They try to keep their vendors and items at Victorian Christmas as local as possible. There is a kid’s area that offers a variety of things including but not limited to a bounce house and face painting. At press time, the National Hotel is not set to open in time for Victorian Christmas. However, it is hoped that it can be opened in time. Matteini said that the hotel is undergoing a $5 million renovation and during Victorian Christmas, it is tradition that Father Christmas has lunch at The National before his Victorian Christmas appearances, and many like to gather at the bar in The National before or after each event. Victorian Christmas is an annual, family tradition and takes place two Wednesday evenings and three Sunday afternoons in December.

A tried and true taste

CLASSIC THANKSGIVING TURKEY FOR THE HOLIDAYS Holiday Turkey Makes 15 servings

Ingredients

1 fresh turkey, about 15 pounds, preferably free-range 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 quart apple cider 2 teaspoons dried poultry seasoning Coarse sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Remove the giblets from the turkey and discard (or save for another use). Rinse the turkey inside and out and pat dry with paper towels. Rub it all over with salt and pepper. Refrigerate, uncovered, for at least 12 hours and up to 24 hours. During that time, the surface of the turkey will become visibly dry and the skin will tighten; this encourages a nice crisp skin on the finished bird. Remove the turkey from the refrigerator 1 hour before you plan to start roasting. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Put the turkey on a rack set in a large, flameproof roasting pan. Drizzle the oil over the top. Roast for 1 hour. Reduce the oven temperature to 175 degrees. Pour the cider

into the roasting pan and sprinkle the poultry seasoning in the liquid. Continue roasting until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a thigh (but not touching bone) registers to 170 degrees. Transfer the turkey to a carving board, tent loosely with aluminum foil, and let rest for about 15 minutes (see tip). Meanwhile, skim the fat from the surface of the liquid in the pan. Put the roasting pan over two burners and bring the pan drippings to a boil over high heat. Cook until the juices reduce and thicken slightly, enough to coat a spoon, about 10 minutes. Taste for seasoning. Carve the turkey and serve with cider pan juices.

Resting tip:

Slow-roasted meats need far less resting time (pretty much none) than those that are traditionally roasted. The reason for resting meat that has been roasted at a high temperature is to allow juices that have collected in the cooler center time to migrate back into the dryer (hotter) exterior sections after it comes out of the oven. Because slow-roasted meats are cooked evenly and a temperature that keeps most of the juices in place, a resting period is largely unnecessary. A brief resting time does allow the meat to become a little firmer as it cools, making it easier to carve.

Perhaps no day is more synonymous with a certain dish than Thanksgiving is with turkey. As tasty as turkey can be, this flavorful fowl doesn’t find its way onto many families’ dinner tables unless it’s Thanksgiving day. Secret family turkey recipes may reign supreme in some households, but holiday hosts with no such resources can consider this unique recipe for “Holiday Turkey” from Andrew Schloss’ “Cooking Slow” (Chronicle Books). By slow cooking the turkey, cooks can ensure it’s evenly cooked. — Metrocreative
