In 2008, a Bavarian waitress named AnitaSchwartz grabbed 19 full beer steins fivein each hand, with nine stacked on top ofthose and walked 40 meters across a
Mesenich, Germany beer hall before settingthem down on a table without spilling a drop.
And these were no root beer mugs; each oneweighed roughly five pounds.The Gold Country Rotary will hold a beer
stein holding contest at their Oktoberfestcelebration on Oct. 3 at the Gold CountryFairgrounds. Anyone who thinks they can doMs. Schwartz one better is welcome to try, butfeats of strength and skill are not required tohave a good time.

Well have Bavarian folk dancing and musicwith Alpentnzer Schuhplattler, said GoldCountry Rotary President Lynne Tinel. And A
Train will play rock and roll classics afterward.For all of the talk of beer and it does playa significant role in the history of the festival Oktoberfest has always been a family event,the local ones included.
Its very family friendly, said the RotarysJoanne Barragan. We have everyone fromages 2 to 92 out on the dance floor.
That is, when they are not sitting down,enjoying German fare fit for a Kaiser. Porkchops, bratwurst, sauerkraut, German potatosalad, its all there, along with some Spaten for
those who partake.As you would imagine well have rowsof table to sit down at, laid out in a verytraditional way, Tinel said. I see it as partcultural experience, part family fun night. Idont think that people go to get drunk.
The Gold Country Rotary has been inexistence for 30 years and this is their 27thOktoberfest. While there are some in the clubof German heritage, with only 40-45 members,

its all hands on deck to put something like this on.Its a well oiled machine, Barragan said. We have the local Boy Scouts
to help serve and clean up. But people just love getting dressed up inlederhosen and stuff, get a little culture going then have some fun.
The original Oktoberfest, held in 1810, was to celebrate the marriage ofCrown Prince Ludwig and Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen. The citizens ofMunich were invited and the festivities were held in the fields outside the citygates.
Nevada Countys KARE Crisis Nurserys Oktoberfest will have a similarfeel, as guest are invited to bring their blankets and celebrate picnic style atPioneer Park in Nevada City.
Its such a fun event, said Lynn Woerner, executive director of thenursery. We realized there wasnt another one going on in the community.We contacted the local German-American club and they gave us insight andhelped us plan.
They will go with the same basic fare (brats, sauerkraut, German potatosalad) but their beers are strictly this side of the Atlantic, with local breweriessuch as Ol Republic, Out of Bounds and Knee Deep well represented.
There will be an Oom Pah Pah band and some really cool mugs forpurchase, Woerner said. I went to one in Germany and the wholeatmosphere is fantastic. Everybody is out to have a good time.
So pull out the lederhosen and the dirndls, grab a stein one will do and get ready to polka.
Oktoberfest fun facts: The Oktoberfest has been held since 1810 in
Munich, Bavaria, Germany. The first Oktoberfest was to celebrate the
marriage of Crown Prince Ludwig and Therese ofSaxe-Hildburghausen.
The 16-day festival attracts more than 6 millionpeople from around the world every year
Almost seven million liters of beer are servedduring the festival.
Only beer conforming to the Reinheitsgebot (sixpercent alcohol by volume) and brewed withinthe city limits of Munich may be served atOktoberfest.
Over the past 200 years, Oktoberfest wascancelled 24 times due to cholera epidemics andwar.
Those who pass out due to drunkenness are calledBierleichen, German for beer corpses.
The festivities only begin when, at noon, 12 guns
sound a salute and the mayor cracks open the firstbeer barrel, yelling O zapft is! (Its tapped!) Themayor then hands the first beer to the Minister-President of the State of Bavaria
The legal drinking age for beer and wine inGermany is 16 years old, and just 14 if youreaccompanied by an adult.
The biggest Oktoberfest outside of Germany is inCanada, in the twin cities of Kitchener-Waterloo,drawing between 750,000 and 1,000,000 visitorsper year.
Cincinnati claims to hold the largest authenticOktoberfest in the U.S., drawing about 500,000people to its two-day celebration.
Around the world Oktoberfests are heldeverywhere from Brazil and Peru, to Hong Kong,India, Vietnam and in the West Bank town ofTaybeh, home of the only Palestinian brewery.

Cowboypoet
JeralynnStrong isa frequentperformerat cowboypoetrygatheringsin the area.
may include the folks who dont have tickets to thedinner dance on Saturday, which features singer-yo-deler-accordionist Sourdough Slim and the StardustCowboys. Or it could be anyone who isnt yet familiarwith the Divides most famous itinerate preacher.
Im a member of the Native Sons Auburn Patrol andI have a yearning for history, said Jerry Pozo, aka Peter
Y. Cool. I networked with the Methodist Church. Turnsout they sent missionaries here in the late 1840s. Theirchief archivist gave me a bibliography of the Reverend.I pieced together all different sources. Seems like PeterCool wanted someone to tell his story.
Pozo, a former elementary school teacher and a Uni-versalist Life minister, will preside over Cowboy churchon Sunday morning.
Most think the town was named after him, Pozosaid. However, some think its a reference to theweather or the limestone caves. Or Aaron Cool but Icouldnt find any distinct person by that name.
You wont need to get into character to enjoy theCowboy Gathering, it will have enough of those al-ready. You just need to come with a hankering for somehomespun humor, folksy fellowship and down homedoings.
They wanted to put on a show up here so localscould gain experience, Pozo said. An understandingof the folklore and storytelling, music and poetry thatwas seemingly widespread throughout the west.
So dad gummit, the Georgetown Divides just twowhoops and a holler from most of these here parts. Geton down there and cowboy up.
The Stardust Cowboys will perform at the dinner dance on Saturday night.
Award winning songwriter and veteran storytell-er Michael Reno Harrell will perform.
Through poetry, song and stories, Larry Mauricewill transport his audience back to the old west.
Cowboy wisdom Always drink upstream from the herd. An onion can make people cry; but, theres never
been a vegetable that can make people laugh. Any cowboy can carry a tune. The trouble comes
when he tries to unload it. Dont worry about bitin off moren you can chew;
your mouth is probably a whole lot biggern youthink.
If youre ridin ahead of the herd, take a look back ev-ery now and then to make sure its still there with ya.
If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do isstop digging.
Its better to keep your mouth shut and look stupidthan open it and prove it.
Just cause trouble comes visiting doesnt mean youhave to offer it a place to sit down.
Lettin the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier thanputtin it back.
Never approach a bull from the front, a horse fromthe rear or a fool from any direction.
Speak your mind, but ride a fast horse. The quickest way to double your money is to fold it
over and put it back into your pocket The only good reason to ride a bull is to meet a
nurse. Treat a woman like a racehorse, and shell never be a
nag. We all got pieces of crazy in us, some bigger pieces
than others.

Jean Harlowwill wearher signa-ture bias
cut white satin gown.Bonnie Parker will bein a two-piece rosewool knit ensemble.Ginger Rogers willcome dressed likea working girl whileAmelia Earhart willsport vintage aviatorgear.
While the great depres-sion dominates any discussionof the U.S. in the 1930s, there weresome high points. The repeal of prohibitionfor one, also the invention of Monopoly and theopening of the Golden Gate Bridge and the Em-pire State Building. And the fashion. Boy did theyknow fashion.
Its the first decade that you could really callthe fashion modern, said Cherie Oliver. Youdidnt have layers and layers of corsets and petti-coats. Sure they wore hats and gloves, but you can
see a modern look in there.Oliver owns Yesteryear Sierra, which specializ-
es in vintage fashion shows. She owns more than1,000 pieces of clothing that span the century. OnSunday, Oct. 12, a lot of those outfits will be outand about at All About Unique Women: Grit andGlamor, a celebration of women and style from the
1930s. The event is put on by the American Asso-ciation of University Women (AAUW) as an annualfundraiser for their scholarship program fund,helping women and girls pursuing studies in thescience, technology, engineering and mathematics(STEM) field.
What we were looking for in an event wassomething unique, something that would get the
message out about empowering and educatingwomen in the community, said coordinator Fran-cesca Erickson. We chose to go with differenteras. The first year was the Gold Rush, last yearwas the 20s. The next logical progression was the1930s. People were saying oh what a bummer,the depression, but it was really a fabulous era.
Just the disparity between the dust bowl migrantmother and the super glamorous Hollywoodstars.
The day will celebrate the women and style ofthe decade in all its grit and glamour withan historical fashion show, vintage cars, food, wineand more. Guests are invited to come in costume though its not required and some will comein character.
Wally Oliver, Cecelia Royal and Cherie Oliver with a 1939 Oldsmobile with license plates promoting the 1939Worlds Fair on Treasure Island in San Francisco Bay. Wally is wearing a vintage suit with a chalk-stripe jacket, a feltfedora hat, and wingtip shoes. Cecelia Royal is wearing a purple knit crepe dress with an art deco design; its skirthas an inset half-circle in front, decorated with stitching and a matching belt. Her hat is felt with a purple feather.
Cherie Oliver wears a brown, rayon knit crepe dress with short, puffy sleeves that have been split and tied with abow (sleeves got creative in the 30s). Her hat is original, small, flat and tilted as most hats were back then. Bothwomen wear gloves that match their dresses. The car and all clothing are originals from the late 1930s.

I will be Jane Adams, motherof social work, Erickson said. LyraDominguez will come as Lena Horne
and sing Stormy Weather.Also making an appearance will
be young Elizabeth Rath as ShirleyTemple, dancing to The Good ShipLollipop.
The fashion show will representwomen who were famous, infamousor influential, said Oliver. Not justthe fashion but well really look intowhat life was like in the era, withboth the depression and the idea of
glamour it was the golden age ofmovies. Back then, a lot of womenmade their own clothes. They weremaster of the accessory. You mightown one black dress or a navy dressand youd fancy it up with a newcollar and cuffs. They would refreshthe clothing, wear a different hat.
You made it look as good as youcould. You would do what you couldto be fashionable and beautiful and
attractive.Erickson points out that the de-
cade was fascinating both politicallyand socially. Franklin and EleanorRoosevelt, The New Deal, Civil Con-servation Corp. In literature therewas Pearl S. Buck, Laura IngallsWilder and Virginia Woolf. As for thefood?
Well, Skippy was on the mar-ket, she said.
But folks who attend can expectfare more along the lines of pigs inblankets and Dagwood sandwiches.And Chacewater wine. Vintage carsand dancing to big band music willhelp add to the nostalgic feel.
This is Nevada City, if theresone thing we love its a good party,Erickson said. Especially if you canput on a costume and drink goodwine.
Lori Leigh Gieleghem wears a blackcrepe evening gown with piping infuschia and gold; matching gloves.

amagicstateIllusionist Alex Ramonhelps re-openexpanded theater
Acoustic Levitation combines magic with theatricality. It took two years to perfect this illusion, created by Jim Steinmeyer. We rehearsed for months, but it didnt click rightaway, said magician Alex Ramon. After six or seven months I put it away for about two months and it just sat backstage. Its a long process but they dont all take two years.
Courtesy photos
His former employers run the happiest place on earth and thegreatest show on earth. Now Alex Ramon is about to find him-self at the most anticipated theater opening in recent memory inAuburn.
OK, so maybe it doesnt carry the cachet of a Disney of Ringling Brothers,but the folks in Auburn are awfully excited about the grand re-opening of theState Theater. After more than doubling its seating capacity and upgradingthe original proscenium and stage, the venerable venue is back in businessthis month with a movie on Thursday, a band on Friday and award-winningmagician Alex Ramon on Sunday, all beginning Oct. 16.
For Ramon, this will be his first trip to Auburn. He spent the last two
years performing in Lake Tahoe, where his show Illusion Fusion was ratedthe number one attraction two years running. Before that he was the sec-ond-youngest ringmaster (and the first magician) in the history of RinglingBrothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus. And before that he was sharing thestage with Mickey and Minnie, bringing a whole new meaning to the termDisney magic.
Before that? Well, then youd have to go back to a 13-year-old in Rich-mond, Calif., who was fascinated by a card trick shown to him by one of his
fathers co-workers.I knew what he did was impossible, theres no way that could happen,
said Ramon, 29. I had to know. I got home and got a deck of cards and itjust started from there, they were in my hand all the time.
His dad bought him a book of magic and both parents encouraged him tohold magic shows. Ramon was having none of that.
I didnt want to perform for anyone, he said. It was just a hobby. I feltthat magic was a secret and nobody else should know how to do it. Becauseof that, I didnt want other people to become magicians.
But he knew he could not stall a tradition that dates back to 2700 B.C. Infact, this summer he joined 1,500 of his comrades in the art of sleight of hand
at a convention in St. Louis. There, he was awarded the Milbourne Christo-pher Award, dedicated to the American magician and recognizes notablecontributions to the art of magic, and excellence in the magical arts.Previous winners of the award include Siegfried and Roy, David Copperfieldand Harry Blackstone, Jr.
Right before they presented it, they took me backstage and showeda two-minute video of all the past winners, Ramon said. In my categorythere have only been 20. To see those magic superstars, these giants in the

world of magic I am just a kid fromRichmond who knew a couple of cardtricks. It didnt hit me until I saw thevideo just how prestigious this awardis.
Ramon debuted a brand new trick,Acoustic Levitation, at the conven-tion. His crew Ramon travels with astage assistant and four more behindthe scenes was surprised by his de-cision; after all, they had been work-ing on this trick for two years, actuallyscrapping it for two months at onepoint because it just wasnt clicking.
I didnt feel pressure, but I couldimagine there could be, Ramon said.They were like, debut a brand newillusion in front of all those magi-cians? But I didnt think there was abetter audience. We are in a brother-hood, there is a camaraderie; we wanteach other to succeed.
The illusion went off without ahitch, as he levitated his assistant onsound waves, while both wore electric
light outfits. For Ramon, theatricali-ty, costuming and choreography gohand in hand with his new brand ofmagic. In fact, Ramon is so in tunewith social media (his interactive showutilizes iPads and cell phones) that henamed his current act #NewMagicand is out to modernize the ancient
art form.This is new magic that has not
been seen before, he said. Al-most 100 percent of it is completelyoriginal; its only been performed inlast year or two by me. Sure there aresome classics of magic you want topresent, a couple of signature piecesfor the most part, but its all aboutcreating new experiences.
Kids will enjoy it, he said, andadults maybe even more, becausethe way he sees it, grownups justdont experience magic as often as
kids do and many leave the theaterstrying to figure out what they justsaw. So in case they want to see itagain, Ramon breaks ground on aonce taboo topic: taking pictures at amagic show.
I encourage people to take pho-tos and videos during my show, hesaid. Considering how mainstreamphotos are these days, take photos,take video, you are going to enjoy
the memory and you can share it withother people.
Hes come a long way, that se-cretive kid who didnt want to showanybody his tricks, now inviting youto film him in action. But thats OK,because like he said, the closer youwatch, the less you see.
Alex Ramons magic act is audience interactive, for kids and adults. There are nu-merous moments in the show where you might be able to participate, Ramon said.You are not just watching from the fourth wall, you are engaged in the show. Andthe audience can change the course of the show. I have a lot of routines backstageready to go. I will switch if I think the audience will enjoy it.
In this original illusion called Heartless, magician Alex Ramon puts a large drumthrough his assistants torso. I am the only magician in the world performing this,Ramon said. I actually have a patent on it, which is rare.
In Toccata for Light Bulb, the closer you watch, the less you see, according tomagician Alex Ramon. Watching this routine happen, the audience is always trying tofigure it out and I am way ahead of them, as it should be in a magic show, he said.

With an award-winning wine calledMamma Mia in their collection anda monthly tribute concert at their
winery, how long before an ABBA cover bandmakes an appearance?
Last month it was the Eagles, before thatJourney, and the music of The Beatles and San-tana has been heard wafting over the Naggiarvineyards in Grass Valley. But this month, rockand roll takes a back seat to ghosts and ghoulsas the winery hosts a Halloween party with musicby Dream and the Dreamer.
This is about our fourth year of music, said
The family owned and operated Naggiar Vineyards sits on 135 acres in southern Nevada County.
Kathy Freeman, a longtime Naggiar employee.The first year we started out pretty loose, thensort of developed the Wine Fest Summer Con-cert Series and now we hold one tribute concerta month during that time.
And on those other three weekends a month,you can find live music on the winerys patioboth Friday and Saturday nights. Most are localentertainers and the atmosphere is casual andcomfortable.
There can be as few as 20-25 people or asmany as 200, Freeman said. We seem to begetting the same people over and over. Ourmenu changes monthly and our music, while wehave our regulars, you probably wont see the
same person in the same month.This month its the Brazillianaires, Mikel Paul
and Gerry Pineda, Sorci and Martini, and Mid-night Sun. The bistro is open for business andchef Georgia Gross, a graduate of the Culinary
The Naggiar Bistro is open for business andwines are available by the glass or by the bottle.

Naggiar Vineyards Wine Fest Summer Concert Series gets people on their feet onwarm Nevada County evenings.
Institute, works her magic with local, seasonal ingredients.Its very much fresh, Mediterranean style, and it changes with theseasons, Freeman said.
Of course there is plenty of wine to go with it. Mamma Mia, a whiteblend, won a gold medal at the 2014 san Francisco Wine Competition.The 2013 Viognier took silver, as did the 2011 Mistero (Zinfandel, San-giovese, Syrah blend) and the 2011 Sangiovese. The 2010 Reserve Syrahtook home double gold.
The family owned and operated winery sits on 135 acres in southernNevada County. The Tuscan style tasting room will take on a decidedlydifferent look come Oct. 31, as the place will be overrun with costumedclientele.
It started out simple and has really grown into something real elabo-rate, Freeman said. A lot of people try to one up the next. The tastingroom will judge the costume contest.
First prize goes to whoever comes dressed as a glassy winged sharp-shooter. To a vineyard, theres nothing scarier.
