BEATLEMANIA
INVADES FOLSOM
SCREAMING TEENAGE GIRLS NOT INCLUDED

M
agical Mystery Tour. Yesterday. Cant Buy Me Love. Revolution. Back in the U.S.S.R. The Beatles
catalogue goes on and on. The English band is probably the single most beloved group in the history of
music. Comprised of Paul McCartney, John Lennon, Ringo Starr and George Harrison, the quartet who
hailed from Liverpool emerged on the music scene in the early 60s and changed the face of recorded music, not to mention
the entirety of pop culture.
The Beatles were animated (in Yellow Submarine), documented (Help!), lionized and idolized by millions around
the globe they were a phenomenon. The band stopped performing live in 1966, eventually breaking up in the early 70s
but not without having recorded some of the most iconic and important albums in music history, including Rubber Soul,
White Album and the masterpiece, Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band.
When John Lennon was assassinated outside of his New York apartment building, not only was a musical genius taken,
but for fans, the chance of a Beatles reunion died with him.
This new musical show changes that. CONTINUED ON PAGE 10
LET IT BE
Hitting the stage this month at the Harris
Center in Folsom is the Broadway tour, Let It
Be, a musical celebration of The Beatles in a
series of concerts both real and imagined. This
show debuted in England in 2012 at The Prince
of Wales Theatre. Immediately, a record-breaking
smash, it was brought to American audiences
on Broadway a year later. The show features
singers, Neil Candalora (Paul), Michael Gagli-
ano ( John), JT Curtis (George) and Chris
McBurney (Ringo), under the musical direction
of Daniel Weiss.
Let It Be tells the story of the Beatles
through a series of concerts, beginning with their
first performances in Germany at The Cavern
Club in 1962. Over the course of two and half
hours, with 34 to 37 songs, and seven to eight
costume changes, the production recreates a
series of concerts (Act 1) including The Ed Sul-
livan Show, Shea Stadium, Sgt Pepper and the
rooftop of Abbey Road Studios. In the second
act, it becomes an imagined show. What if John
Lennon had not died and they reunited for a
concert around his 40th birthday?
The second act imagines the Beatles if they
had a reunion and got back together and what
songs they might play, like Band on the Run,
Lennons Imagine, things they were were
working on at that time as solo artists, Chris
McBurney, who plays Ringo Starr said. I think
thats kind of cool about this show is that we are
able to show each Beatle as an individual. In the
second act, when we perform the material they
did after the Beatles had broken up and were
able to show their individuality in that way.
But you know we work so hard at this that we really are putting the songs under the microscope and really learning each
part. And we practice and practice and we were definitely learning tunes. For me personally, A Day in the Life the fills in
that song that Ringo plays are so inventive and unique that for me it was just a challenge in
trying to interpret some of those fills and now after playing for a long time its secondhand
Let It Be nature to me now but it was quite challenging.
A CELEBRATION OF THE MUSIC OF Recreating perfectly the original sounds, the feel of each performance, making each song
THE BEATLES as pure as possible is why Let It Be has been viewed by more than 2 million since its
WHEN: 7:30 P.M. MARCH 31; 2 debut.

FOLSOM ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE
TICKETS: $39-$69, PREMIUM $75 Why is this show so popular and what brings entire families to see it?
CONTACT: HARRISCENTER.NET Its the songs, he said. The songwriting team of Lennon/McCartney. There was really
no other songwriting team like them. They just had such inspiration, passion, and were so
socially conscience of what was going on at the time and also an unbelievable gift of melody.
If you missed the real thing, this performance comes darn close.
Its the next best thing to seeing the Beatles. Most people never got to see the Beatles play live. They stopped touring in
1966. Or if they did, they couldnt hear the PA due to the screaming girls, McBurney said.
Dont feel like youre too old or too young to enjoy this show. The age of the audience varies with entire families and with
grandparents with their grandkids.
Its really rewarding for us to see. Its a great show for the whole family, he said. Its a generational thing. They span
generations. And I hope they have a newfound respect what for kind of impact the Beatles had on society.

SAUCY DELICIOUSNESS: Sienna Restaurant offers an array of dishes including Ahi Katsu.
SIENNA
MODERN AMERICAN GRILL
BY RACHEL ZIRIN | PHOTOS BY BILL SULLIVAN
After spending his life working in the restaurant industry, Mark Platt decided to open
his own restaurant with his wife, Karoline. Seven years later, their brand is wildly suc-
cessful with four locations.
The Platts opened Sienna, their first restaurant location, in February 2010 in El Dora-
do Hills.
After the building sat vacant for two years, they jumped on the opportunity, as it was
beautiful inside and out, Karoline said.
At first the couple struggled, but they found their way because only a year and a half
after opening Sienna, the Platts opened Land Ocean in Folsom. More recently, they
opened second locations of both restaurants in Roseville Land Ocean in September

2015 and Sienna in September 2016.When you walk into Sienna, you immediately feel comfortable, like you are in
your own home. With neutral tones on the walls, chairs, flooring, all the way down to the candle holders, the Platts
said they want their guests to experience a warm and relaxing feeling.
Karoline said it wasnt easy brainstorming a name for the restaurant.
I was looking through a box of Crayola crayons and saw Sienna with two Ns on a brown crayon. When I looked it
up it meant warm and inviting. I thought it was perfect. This is why our restaurants are brown and neutral tones, she
said.
One of the more popular dishes is the skirt streak, which is toped with blue

isconti has been a well-known name within the
Folsom community for almost 25 years.
When Frank Visconti was passing through town
in 1991, he found himself staying here. Leaving behind
the Bay Area restaurants he cooked in, he designed his own
business with his family, funded by his father.
In 1992, Viscontis Ristorante opened a small location at 322
East Bidwell St. Visconti said he started small because he had no
idea how well it would do. Little did he know everyone would love it.
After 18 years, the Viscontis decided to relocate on the growing side of
Folsom at 2700 East Bidwell St. Ste. 700 where there was a larger space as well as a
banquet room, full bar and patio.

driver Brad Sweet.
We always look forward to this stretch in our schedule, said World of Outlaws Series Director Carlton Reimers. The
opportunity to extend our series coast to coast makes it easier for fans nationwide to enjoy the Greatest Show on Dirt.
With speeds in excess of 100 miles per hour the three-eighth-mile dirt track in Stockton and the smaller quarter-mile
banked oval in Placerville produce some of the most intense racing on the annual World of Outlaws annual tour. With
more than 800 horsepower in a lightweight winged chassis that isnt much larger than its driver, this series is nothing short
of exciting for fans of all ages.

A
mother-daughter duo has opened a Rodeo Drive-style boutique in El
Dorado Hills that has items you wont find anywhere else.
After being diagnosed with cancer, Nici Dale moved to Cameron
Park to help her mother, Dawn McClenter, go through treatment.
Their therapy was shopping.
There wasnt really anything in El Dorado County that we liked that was also
affordable and cute, Dale said. Instead of looking for places to shop, we decided
to create one.
My grandmother managed a womans clothing
Jolie boutique for 25 years and she passed away from
breast cancer 11 months prior to my diagnosis, so
WHERE: 3905 PARK DRIVE, we took her memory and opened up a boutique.
EL DORADO HILLS
Jolie is a unique, cute, yet affordable womans
CONTACT: 916-358-9593
clothing boutique with great customer service,
Dale said.
Meaning beautiful one in French, Jolie was
the perfect name for Dale and McClenter.
Opened late 2016, Jolie is the new sister store of the original Mirror Mirror that
was located in Cameron Park. After reoccurring robberies and thefts, Dale said it
was the universe telling her and McClenter to create something different and fresh.
We try to be as unique as possible, Dale said. We want to bring things that
youre not going to find in all of the other boutiques. We try to make sure every
piece feels fantastic with a fantastic price.
Jolies main objective is to provide excellent customer service, she said. Not only
do you get a personal shopper, but the luxury of having a glass of wine as well.
It is a way for everyone to chill and have fun, Dale said. We also have beer
for husbands while their wives are shopping. We really want to bring that Rodeo
Drive-type shopping, but not with the price tag.
Dale said her favorite part of her business is styling her customers.
I think, hands down, our customer service sets us a part because we are very
genuine and we want our customers to feel like they are being pampered, She said.
I feel that is kind of a lost thing in most boutiques.

Adventure is calling. Walking into Camping World of Sacramento excites all the senses with the hope that nature and travel are right at
your fingertips. The conveniently located storefront in Roseville, off Interstate 80, primarily focuses RV sales. These range from small tent
trailers to travel trailers to fifth wheels to a rather large selection of class B, C, and A motor homes.
Camping World RV sales have established itself as one of the premier destinations for everything RV related, stated General Manager
Brian Cutts. While this location provides a great selection of RVs, it also has one of the largest service centers, collision and body shops
exclusively for RVs.
Theres more to Camping World than just parts, Cutts added.
Since 1966 Camping World has provided parts, services, supplies and RVs to all who have a love of travel. It presents the opportunity to
connect with nature and link adventure with journey.
In the past the majority of the clientele were retired individuals who had the time to appreciate the mobility an RV would bring. Howev-
er, that has changed. RV living and camping can be for anyone and has grown in popularity with families of all sizes, especially those with
young children.
We sell a lot of RVs with bunk beds, Cutts said. It speaks a lot to who our clientele is.
People assume our customers are all retired folks, But young families are our main clientele said Sales
Manager Andrew Weston.
The more than 12-acre lot has a little bit of everything to meet any specific criteria.
Camping World has a selection of toy haulers for those who like to ride.

A CELEBRATION OF LIGHT
Though this technology required occasional troubleshooting
and created bitter tension between American electrical companies
and though H. G. Livermores gold-rush dreams didnt pan
out the way he planned the Folsom Powerhouse was cause for
celebration throughout the region.
Eventually, the new technology allowed Sacramento to expand
its streetcar coverage and illuminated the city with street lamps.
It brought an alternative to costly coal power, the convenience of
refrigeration to businesses and light to peoples homes.
Thats why this is a historical landmark, Overman said. This
was going from a very rural to a very urban area. It was all about
electrifying Sacramento.
In September 1895, thousands of people from hundreds of
miles away gathered in Sacramento to witness the spectacle. There
were parades and floats, gun salutes and lights strung all over the
capitol. When operators finally flipped the switch in the Folsom
Powerhouse, 22 miles away, the city buzzed to life in a way it
never had before.
