I
t gives me great pleasure to invite you partake of the13th annual
Autumn Art Studios Tour — a self-guided tour — featuring 79 of
Placer County’s distinguished creative spirits in 53 locations. Take my friend and golden glove boxing champ Dick Ketelle,
whose image graces this cover. His warm smile and gentle wisdom
will greet each visitor to his studio chalk full of great ceramic works.
Dick’s service to community is unmatched. He is who I term a creative
superhero!
For those who would be new to the Studios Tour, first, you will
want to purchase your tickets. Adults are $10 each and kids and
students through Grade Twelve are free. Your ticket is good for any or
all of three days. You may choose to take in any of the listed studios
you wish to explore, November 10-12, 10 AM – 5 PM.
Where to begin…
The hardest part of the open studios tour may be deciding where
to begin. There is no “right” answer. We suggest you look over the
map ahead of your adventure, notate the sites that interest you, and
set a loose itinerary. Maybe you’ll work your way through the tour
geography from the direction you are coming, or start farther from
your hotel or home and work your way back. In any case, prepare
yourself to find a variety of treasures available for purchase or
commission. The studios are open rain or shine. Since the weather
may shift through the day and weekend, we recommend layers of
clothing and comfortable footwear. Your art adventure begins once
you have plotted your course — and buckle up for safety.
This year’s studio locations dot picturesque highways and bi-ways
in Granite Bay, Roseville, Rocklin, clay-rich Lincoln, the Loomis basin
horse country, quaint Penryn, Newcastle and Auburn foothills, and
timber-lined Meadow Vista and Colfax — all splashed in fall colors.
Those traveling in groups will want to designate a navigator, and if
you are touring with students, there will be plenty to learn along the
way. Participating artists will be explaining or demonstrating aspects of
their art process.
Get a sneak peek…
I should mention the Autumn Art Studios Tour preview exhibit at The
Arts Building, 808 Lincoln Way in Auburn with a gala public reception
to be held on Friday, October 27 from 6 pm – 8:30 pm. This event
is free and will provide a glimpse of the wide variety of art to be
discovered during the studios tour weekend.
By the by — October is National Arts and Humanities Month — and
this issue is stuffed full of ways you and your family and friends can
celebrate, participate, and contribute!

Sweet Strumming at Tahoe
Guitarist Larry Aynesmith has brought classical guitar music to North Tahoe
by Persia Woolley
Lake Tahoe has a special charm, easily seen
and much admired by tourists from the mid1800s on. And by artists. Artists bring their
talent and experience and receive in return
inspiration and support. The region is richer
for its galleries, photographers, dance troupes,
sculptors, painters, writers, and musicians of
all kinds.
Larry Aynesmith is among this latter group.
Both a composer for and performer on classical guitar, he has performed in and attended
master classes with many of the world’s
most noteworthy guitarists, including John
Williams, Paul Galbraith, and Jeremy Jouve,
winner of the Guitar Foundation of America’s
International Competition.
Born into a family with strong appreciation
for music, Aynesmith began playing accordian
well before going to school. At around age
seven or eight, he graduated to the guitar, his
primary instrument ever since.
“There is something very moving about
playing the guitar,” he explained in a recent
interview. “You interact with it in ways that
are different from any other instrument. First,
you hold it against your body, either under or
over your heart; your fingers make the strings
vibrate, and the frets bring you constant
awareness of the subtleties of sound. Often
you feel the vibrations in your body so that
the whole of you is involved in this moment
of music.”
Not surprisingly, Aynesmith majored in
music in college. He received a Master of
Music degree and proceeded to advanced
doctoral study in ethnomusicology and anthropology. (This last is reflected in his love of
African percussion instruments.) He attended Valparaiso University as well as Butler
University, both in Indiana, and taught undergraduate music sections at Indiana University.
During the ensuing years, Aynesmith put
performing aside and concentrated on his
publishing house, White Cliffs Media, which
brought out books about
traditional world music. The
books are used as college
texts by many universities.
Eight years ago he moved to
Incline, and, after suffering a
severe skiing accident, began
to re-evaluate his life -- his
past and what he would like
to do in the future.
“Out of all that came the
realization that I really wanted
to get back to performing and
composing,” he said.
So in 2004 he founded the Lake Tahoe
Guitar Society, which this year has changed
its name to the Sierra Nevada Guitar Society
(SNGS). Among its recent accomplishments,
the SNGS has provided downtown Reno with
the “Classical Guitar Concert Series,” held at
the Trinity Episcopal Church. The series has
proved so popular, it will be extended into
autumn and winter.
Also of note was the society’s “First Annual
Classical Guitar Festival and Competition” held
in August. Lectures, workshops, and concerts
filled the three-day event, headlined by Celino
and Lito Romeros.
“My goal for the society is to increase public knowledge and appreciation of classical
guitar music,” Aynesmith concludes. “We need
a bridge between the activities at Tahoe and
the many fine musicians in northern California.
Toward that end I’m always interested in hearing from or about good guitarists, and seeing
what we can put together.”
Larry Aynesmith,
an accomplished
classical guitarist
and composer,
is the founder of
the Sierra Nevada
Guitar Society.

In the AGROart™ Competition,
competitors create sculptors
with fresh produce
A
t 16 years old, Maya Tahti
is a veteran AGROartist, having
competed for 10 years. “I do it for
the fun of it,” Maya says, “because I
love turning something ordinary, like
vegetables and fruit, into something
fabulous.” Maya started competing in
the elementary school division, along
with her younger sister. When she went
to middle school, she teamed up with
Amy Roseberry, and the two have continued their award-winning partnership into the
high-school division. They are always trying to
talk their friends into competing as well.
Maya’s personal favorite was a
fish they created several years ago
that started out as a watermelon.
Last year she and Amy had enough
confidence in their skills and creativity to arrive at the Blue Goose
Fruit Shed with no prior plan, and
they came up with a beautiful twodimensional butterfly. “One of my
favorite creations of all time was
a mural that Stan Padilla created
several years ago,” Maya says. “He
used beet juice and painted potatoes and other things with such
vibrant colors.”
Amy and Maya will be at the
Blue Goose Fruit Shed in Loomis
again on Sunday, October 8 to compete in the 11th annual AGROart™
competition, sponsored by the
Arts Council of Placer County. This
ultimate opportunity to play with
food has a few simple rules. All
AGROart™ sculptures must contain
fruits and/or vegetables (the use of
PlacerGROWN produce is encouraged). The entire sculpture must be
created on site, and all framework
must be completely covered. At
20
least 60 percent of the artwork must be fresh
produce. The remaining 40 percent may be
dried fruits and vegetables, leaves, seeds, vines
or twigs.
Eight age-related entry categories for teams
(of no more than three people) and individuals are Grammar School (Grades 2–5)
Individual and Team; Middle School (Grades
6–8) Individual and Team; High School
(Grades 9–12) Individual and Team; and Adult
Individual and Team. The competition starts
at 9 a.m. Judging for Elementary School and
Middle School is at noon; High School and
Adult, at 2 p.m. Creating AGROart™
sculptures is joyful,
and excitement runs
high as visitors and
families observe the
creation process. Cash
prizes range from $50
to $500, and all individuals and teams who
register in advance
receive AGRObucks
redeemable at Foothill
Farmers’ Markets and
local produce markets.
The historic Blue
Goose Fruit Shed in
Concocting With Carrots,
Building With Rutabagas
by Karen Killebrew
Loomis is the central point for the 3rd annual
Placer Farm and Barn Tour. The shed will
house local agriculture displays and a free produce play garden where kids can experiment
with their own veggie sculptures. Visitors can
come early to see the AGROart™ sculptures
take shape, then tour some of the 13 farms on
this year’s Farm and Barn Tour. At the end of
the day, AGROart™ prize winners will be on
display back at the Blue Goose.
Both the AGROart™ Competition and the
Placer Farm and Barn Tour promote the com-
chased in in advance through the Arts Council
of Placer County or on the day of the tour at
the Blue Goose.

The Maestro Goes to Mexico: Michael
Goodwin Conducts the Orquestra Del
Estado De Mexico
In May,
Michael Goodwin,
Auburn Symphony’s
music director, led
Mexico’s premier
orchestra as guest
conductor in
two concerts.
The last week of May 2006 took
Auburn Symphony’s Maestro Michael
Goodwin to Mexico, where he led
Mexico’s premier orchestra in two
performances — in Toluca, the capital of Mexico state, and Cuautitlan
Izcalli, a suburb of Mexico City. The
concerts were part of an exchange
with Enrique Batiz, music director of
the Orchestra of the State of Mexico,
who led the Auburn Symphony as
guest conductor last January.
The Orquestra Del Estado De
Mexico is composed of a diverse
group of professional players from
around the world. Goodwin and the
orchestra performed the overture
“The Judges of the Secret Court” by
Berlioz; Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 4 ,
with Italian soloist Rossana Tomasi Golkat;
and Dvorak’s Symphony No. 6 in D
Major.
“Conducting this very fine orchestra was a great pleasure,” Goodwin
remarked, “and the musicians seemed
to enjoy the experience of our working
together as much as I did. They played
with great energy and sensitivity.”
Goodwin was warmly received by the
audience, which broke into cheers following the overture.
Conducting a world class orchestra is quite an accomplishment
and speaks well for Goodwin, and
reminds us that he and the Auburn
Symphony deliver professional-level
playing here.
Back by popular demand, soprano
Svetlana Nikitenko will perform the
Queen of the Night’s aria from The
Magic Flute at the Auburn Symphony’s
opening concert September 23.

Auburn Symphony’s “Superb” Dvorak
Symphony No. 6
As we were obviously not able to hear the
wonderful performances in Mexico, we
are going to remind you of the Auburn
Symphony’s superb performance of the
Dvorak symphony No. 6 last April at Placer
High Theatre. Dvorak’s Symphony No. 6 comprised the second half of the program.
The first movement was played with much
energy, and we in the audience were enveloped in the smooth, dreamlike sound. In the
second movement’s beautiful, soft beginning,
pastoral in quality, Goodwin produced strings
that sang, their texture producing a marvelous depth of sound. Dvorak was an expert in
creating melodies, and Goodwin is an expert
in drawing them from the orchestra in all their
grandeur. The scherzo was splendidly performed. Goodwin and the Auburn Symphony
captured the excitement and vitality of this
movement by expressing the raw action and
harsh contrasts between violins and the
rest of the orchestra, particularly the tympani.
It is not just flowing melody
but rugged and fiery, much like a
Slavonic dance. Although the playful interaction yields sweeping
melodies, it builds each time to
reintroduce the initial theme in all
its glory. There was an exciting
edge to this music with its syncopated tympani.
In the last movement,
Dvorak interweaves melodies
and fire, brought clearly to
the surface by Goodwin
and the orchestra. By the
end of the majestic emotional finale, when we
finally breathed again,
we expected to see
smoke rising from
the strings following their frenetic playing.
by Ronald D. Greenwood, M.D.
Goodwin and the Auburn Symphony gave us
a superb performance of this beautiful Dvorak
Symphony. The audience responded with an
immediate and long-lasting standing ovation.
Well done indeed.
Gala Opens Auburn Symphony’s 20th
Concert Season
On September 23, the 20th anniversary season opens for the Auburn Symphony with
a grand Gala. The event includes a commemorative concert in Placer High Theatre
followed by an outdoor celebratory soiree
“under the tents” on the theatre courtyard and
grounds. Gourmet desserts and beverages will
be served, and guests will mingle and meet

Watching the Arts Work in Placer County Schools

T
he Sacramento Bee recently reported
that the legislators passed a $105 million
block grant for arts and music for the 20062007 school year. To learn what this means
to individual school districts, we turned to
Nancy Carr, the Visual and Performing Arts
24
Consultant for the California Department of
Education. Carr says there’s also $500 million
for art and physical education for one-time
expenditures. “The $105 million we hope will
be ongoing, but it will come up at budget
time every year. At least this year we’re happy
and we’re celebrating!”
Carr says that the money probably won’t
come until later this year. “Teachers need to
be thinking about what they will do to build
toward a stronger arts program. My biggest
concerns are assessment, curriculum, instruction, and well-trained teachers. I hope administrators will be thinking about those four
things in the next few months. We want to
provide informational training for administrators, and maybe we can do that before the
money comes out.”
About the funding, Carr says, “It isn’t
intended to bring in an artist for three sessions
and have a school district say, ‘Okay, we’ve
had art.’ It’s supposed to be standards-based,
sequential, and throughout the school year.”
According to Carr, there are people in
charge of arts education who know nothing
about arts education. Although, she says, “…
they’re wearing the hat of art. They might be
in charge of Indian Education, Safety and Drug
Education, and Art. So it isn’t really a single
job. But this is an attempt to help the counties
better reach their districts about what is appropriate arts education, which is a really healthy
thing.”
Carr knows there’s going to be accountability in the equation. For instance, “How do you
use the money? What is your intent for the use
of the money? I’ll have to give a report to the
legislature, so it will be important for the districts who receive these funds to keep track of
the funds that made a difference. It will also
allow us to go back next year and say, ‘Here’s
Win for Arts in Education
Schools’ art and music programs will
benefit from a state million-dollar-plus
block grant
how we used the money.’”
Placer Arts Council is one of the leaders in
the state according to Carr, “because they’ve
been able to sustain themselves through lean
times, and what they’ve done is position
themselves to not be totally dependent on the
California Arts Council, which gives them a
strong position.” She notes that the community has supported the Placer Arts Council of
Placer County, which gives them a stronger
community base.
She explains that not every county has arts
councils. “Placer County is very rich in its
art-supporting activities, whether it’s from the
school, or the community, or the arts council itself. Angie [Tahti] has secured funding
for various school districts in Placer County
through grants.”
Carr says that anyone outside a school district can offer encouragement and support.
“Various arts councils should not do what the
school is supposed to be doing in arts education,” she says. “Arts councils that are savvy,
like Placer’s, have been working with their
schools. They’re already in a collaborative role
with their districts.”
She observes, “Placer Unified High School
District has a wonderful photography program. I’ve encouraged other school districts to
contact them to see how they do it. And then
there’s Rocklin, which is one of the few districts with more than one dance teacher and
more than one theater teacher.”
Carr emphasizes that as a result of this legislation, the counties will be able to draw on
each other for ideas and support. “I think the
minute that collaborative network is in place,
you’re no longer alone — you’re not working
in isolation.”
2006–2007 State Budget for Visual and Performing
Arts Education
AB 1811: $105M is considered ongoing funding and is
targeted for districts, charter schools and county education
programs based on average daily attendance. Suggested uses include: professional development for arts
specialists, administrators, and generalist teachers; hiring of
credentialed arts specialists; establishment of a district arts
committee; evaluation of existing arts education programs;
creation of standards-based sequential arts education
programs to be delivered within the school day and including
curriculum development and assessment; purchasing of
supplies and equipment aligned with the curriculum of
instruction. Funds should supplement and not supplant
existing resources.
AB 1802: $500M is one-time money intended for use to
support instruction of Physical Education and Visual and
Performing Arts at school sites based upon site enrollment for
supplies and equipment to support standards-aligned Physical
Education and Visual and Performing Arts instruction.
NOTE: Until all trailer bills, pertinent to the state’s 2006–
2007 budget, are signed by the Governor (anticipated early
September), the visual and performing arts community awaits
the final word on specificity regarding these two funding
sources.
Suggestions for Placer County School Districts
If you do not already have a District Arts Team and a district
arts plan, establish a committee and review your district plan.
Identify strengths and needs in dance, drama, music, and
visual arts education. Update or begin to develop your District
Arts Plan.
Should you need suggestions of how to approach this
evaluation, please do not hesitate to contact the Visual
and Performing Arts (VAPA) Consultant at the California
Department of Education (CDE) ([email protected]),
the California Alliance for Arts Education (CAAE)
[email protected], or The California Arts Project (TCAP) via

(PCOE) and the Arts Council of Placer County (PlacerArts)

Sierra Nevada Arts Alliance works to
promote arts tourism
The Sierra Nevada Arts Alliance was born at
Sierra Business Council’s 2003 conference in
Mammoth, CA. There, an Arts Team, including directors of nine arts councils along State
Highway 49, came up with an action plan
for sustaining the arts in the Sierra Nevada
— through a business plan for the new Sierra
Nevada Arts Alliance and the creation of a
Highway 49 Arts and Culture map of “mustsee” sites.
Next, the alliance created a Memorandum
of Understanding, raised seed money from
partnering counties, and received map design
bids. In 2006, the Alliance received a grant
from the Compton Foundation through the
Sierra Business Council. Related projects were
coordinated by the Arts Council of Placer
County.
With the creation of the Sierra Nevada
Conservancy in 2005, the Sierra Nevada Arts
Alliance has now been expanded to include
all 22 counties embraced by the conservancy.
Gail Segerstrom, the designer whose map concept was chosen, has also created concepts for
the Web site and the initial online map. The
Highway 49 map will be followed by other
regional maps, both online and in print.

Living Traditions, which was opened by the
Metropolitan Arts Partnership in April. On
view through October 1, is the second in a
series of art installations “Offering to Kali Ma”
by featured artist Khimmberly Maarshall. This
site specific installation draws upon Kali as

inspired from Hindu teaching of Kali, one
of the primary deities in Hindu belief. The
installation fills the 30 x 30 foot Gallery with a
series of altars depicting various aspects of Kali
Ma “the black one” with symbols and cycles of
destruction and creation. The Kali Ma destroys
ignorance, maintains the world order, blesses
and frees those who strive for knowledge.

Snow-bliss
by Craig Steiger
What perfect desolation
Traversing the north flank of Round Mountain
Under a canopy of tall pines
Freighted with new snow,
When the slightest pulse of wind
Sends a fine ice-dust
Feathering down the ladder of branches
To where I stand exhilarated
As it crosses my cheek

A Dream Coming True
By Bud Pisarek
M
Bud Pisarek, Auburn
Placer Performing
Arts Center past
president and
board member.
46
y 18-month tenure as
president of the Auburn Placer
Performing Arts Center (APPAC)
came to an end at the close of
June this year. I must say they
were some of the most rewarding months I have had the honor
of spending in service to our
community.
APPAC was formed as a nonprofit organization to purchase
and reconstruct the old Auburn
State Theatre into a state-of-theart performing arts center. The
historic building was erected
in 1930 and has been a movie
house for three quarters of a
century. APPAC’s mission is “to formulate
plans to build a facility to meet the increasing
needs for the performance groups and audience participation. We believe the facility will
greatly increase the cultural enhancement of
our area and provide growth to our community.”
The Board of Directors consists of 21 members elected by the group, with seven new
members elected each year. Eight members
serve on the Executive Committee. Executive
meetings are held on the first Friday of the
month, and the full board meets on the third
Friday. Meetings are held at 4 p.m. in the 2nd
floor Board Room of the State Theatre and are
open to the public. In March 2006, APPAC purchased the
State Theatre from JD Partners for the sum
of $805,000. Those monies were raised
through the participation of some 20 citizens
who invested $25,000 each and a generous
loan from Bill Lipschultz, a past president of
APPAC. The balance of the funds came from
a federal grant obtained through the office
of Congressman John Doolittle. Viola Wrigley
helped in the purchase by loaning the group
$100,000 until the grant money was released
to APPAC.
Several studies have been done which
affirm APPAC’s goal of bringing the reconstruction of the theatre into reality. One study
revealed that the project was either feasible or
feasible with certain qualifications. At present,
we operate strictly on a volunteer basis but
look forward to hiring part-time paid personnel such as a director and fund-raising director. The timing of these positions will depend
on the upcoming fund-raisers. A fall event is scheduled for October 14
to benefit APPAC — a Bluegrass Festival to
be held at the Gold Country Fairgrounds in
Auburn. The Auburn New Car Dealers will
be the primary event sponsors. Nationally
acclaimed bluegrass performers Laurie Lewis
and Tom Rozum will headline the program.
Five other area artists will also be performing.
Auburn is not unique to the movement of
rediscovering the need to save the many historic cinema structures. There has been a rash
of such efforts all over the U.S. and especially
in Northern California. The city of Redding,
for instance, has refurbished its former movie
house into a magnificent performing arts center.
The movement to save the State Theatre
in Auburn was motivated by a need to house
the Auburn Symphony in a venue larger than
it now has at Placer High School. Not only
will the new stage have a larger area for
the orchestra, it will seat at least 200 more
patrons. The targeted seating capacity at the
State Theatre is listed at 825.
Initial architectural plans call for a complete

The Arts Council of Placer County (PlacerArts), founded in 1983, is a catalyst
for the arts and humanities in Placer County.
Our purpose is:
• to promote arts education in schools and communities, arts and cultural
organizations, arts businesses and professional and emerging artists of all
disciplines;
• to support quality, affordable and accessible programs and services to
residents and the visiting public;
• to provide technical assistance to affiliate agencies and artists;
• to cooperate with other agencies in the county, the Sierra Nevada region
and the state to maximize resources; and
• to advocate for public and private investment in the arts and humanities.
The Arts Council of Placer County encourages excellence and expansion
of visual, musical, theatrical, literary, media, and dance art endeavors. We
support a wide variety of Arts in Education programs in grades K-12 and for
special constituencies. We engage professional performing, visual and literary
artists to present dozens of annual public arts and cultural events and serve as
a clearinghouse for information on the arts in Placer County.
We publish Perspectives, a bimonthly arts magazine, in partnership with the
Roseville Cultural Arts Commission. Its purpose is to create a forum for communication for artists and art organizations in Placer County and to increase
awareness of activities and programs related to arts and culture in the area.
The Arts Council of Placer County is the State Local Partner of the California
Arts Council, a state agency, and supported in part by the County of Placer, the
city of Auburn and the city of Roseville.
