6. DETERMINE IRRIGATION
How and with what you are going to feed your plants is
important. Some tap water can become stressful to plants.
By leaving the water out for a few days most of the harsh
chemicals in tap water will evaporate out. Rain water is the
best if source is available because it has the nutrients al-
ready in it. The plants dont care whether it is drip irrigation
or hand watered. The most important thing is to ensure the
plants are getting sufficient water. Soaker hoses tend to give
a deeper quench.
7. REPAIR SURROUNDINGS
Gates, fences, trellises, you name it. So often things wear
down and break during the winter from harsh weather. Now
is the time to perfect those little fixes or simply replace them
all together. Check irrigation systems and sharpen tools.
Your getting closer to the ideal garden space.
8. CLEAN UP GARDEN TOOLS

While working in the dirt is familiar to most gardeners, it
does not mean that the tools used should be dull, dirty or
rusted. Switch out gloves that have a hole in them and
sharpen the clippers for easier use.
9. DESIGNATE STORAGE SPACE

Thats always handy, Davis said. The fertilizers and soils

COVER STORY
Hop on over to
the Red Frog
STORY AND PHOTOS BY CAROL GUILD
I
magine youre taking a drive along scenic State High-
way 174 in Colfax. Youre gazing up at the beautiful
treetops, and as you round a curve, behold, the Red
Frog its bright frog-adorned sign towering, glowing,
welcoming, somehow out of place, yet perfectly at
home.
Many discover the Red Frog this way. Others travel
far and wide to visit the place. The local patrons are
just happy that its only a short leap and a hop from
their home.
The Red Frog is a destination. Its an institution.
But what about that name? It seems that owner
Randy Brock just likes frogs.
He always liked frogs ever since he was a kid,
said bartender Zeena Chandler. He thought about
naming it Brocks Bar and Grill.
Not bad. But the Red Frog certainly leaves an im-
pression, dont you think?
Besides, Brock really wanted something that was
nature friendly and laid-back. Something that was
memorable. And it works.

.com
Drinks, dining and a magnificent vista

The Red Frog boasts a full bar that extends outside
to a covered deck with incredible canyon views.
We have the best view, said Brock, joking that he
schedules the timing of the trains that pass by in the
distance. There are two tracks below, and two above.
One track goes into the mountain tunnel, and one
goes along side.
It can be mesmerizing, making some a little giddy,
watching the trains.
Then theres the food and drink.
We have the coldest beer, Brock said.
When they open, they take the beer out of the
refrigerator and put it in an ice chest with lots of ice
and a little water.
In the summer, the mango margaritas are especial-
ly popular. Another favorite is the bloody mary.
Patrons also give the food high marks.
They serve pizza, burgers, hot dogs, chicken sand-
wiches and veggie burgers, along with Taco Tuesdays,
and more.
Brock calls the Red Frog a pizza parlor, hamburger
place, and bar all rolled into one.
Another room with a view

Brock searched throughout Placer County from
Roseville to Kings Beach to find the right location
for his establishment. The views in Colfax clinched it.
The Red Frog opened 11 years ago. And now, with
frog dcor aplenty, and skilled and friendly staff (two
who have worked there from the beginning) Brock is
expanding into the space next door. Cape View will
be a version of the Red Frog, sans the frogs. It will
only be connected to the Red Frog near the main en-
trance. Its scheduled for completion in about a year.
Well have a covered patio, kind of a tropical
theme, with outdoor pool tables with the excellent
view, and a ping pong table inside, Brock said. Itll
have its own full bar, and maybe, depending on the
cost, well have an aquarium set in the wall between
Cape View and the Red Frog so you can see it from
either side.
He wants to have a saltwater tank with stingrays.
Stingrays . Maybe a theme?
Its just going to be cool and classy, Brock chuckled.
I tell everyone, itll be just as classy as the Red Frog.

THE SOBER STOP ON THE WINE TRAIL
WRITTEN AND PHOTOS BY NOELLE KONRAD
W hen the Bunz family moved from their home in Granite Bay to a 13.5-acre property on the edge of Lincoln and
Auburn, their original idea was to contribute to the popular wine trail and open a winery. Just as they were getting
ready to purchase starter vines, a family trip to France changed everything.
What if we dont do grapes? What if we do lavender?thought Elizabeth Bunz, chief proprietor, or Liz the Lavender
Lady.
Looking back, the Bunz family couldnt be happier with their decision. The family-owned and operated farm is run by
Dan and Elizabeth Bunz with their two daughters Ashley and Courtney and their ever-growing families alongside them.
Its nice to have something a little different a little out of the ordinary, Elizabeth said. We call it the sober stop on
the wine trail.

had a swamp in the middle. Over the years, however,

and have a picnic by the pond. They are also available for photo sessions

There is also talk of converting an apartment above the boutique to a
farm stay for families to experience what it is like to live on a farm.
The boutique operates longer than the farm. It opens for six weeks
before Christmas and merchandise orders can be filled during dormant
months.
Flower farming was not how the Bunz family anticipated spending
their retirement, in fact it wasnt even their first attempt at farming.
Its very enjoyable. I love it. People who love lavender are the nicest
people, Elizabeth said.
8 REASONS TO HAVE
LAVENDER IN YOUR GARDEN
1. It is a drought-resistant plant and a desert plant. It
doesnt like a lot of water, which makes it is great for
California landscape.
2. Lavender has so many different uses. You can
harvest the buds yourself, not to mention it is very
visually appealing and fragrant.
3. It can be used in remedies and for aromatherapy at
home.
4. The plants are deer resistant; pests dont eat it,
and the only insect that is attracted to it is the ev-
er-so-helpful bees.
5. It can be used as a natural bug repellent and much
better for you than DEET.
6. You can utilize every part of the plant. The leaves
and stems are very fragrant in addition to the flowers.
7. It can be used as a fire starter or in barbecue as a
fragrant lavender smoke. Great for fish and chicken.
8. It can be used in cooking and baking. Lavender is
an herb that is in the same family as mint, rosemary
and sage.

Matcha
The gold of green tea
I ts like the gold of green tea, Dr. Danni Ballere said regarding matcha, the
green sensation.
Its common knowledge that green tea is good for you. It has benefits
that can increase metabolism and promote weight loss, stabilize blood sugar,
balance insulin levels, support healthy bacteria in the gut, aids memory care and
more. But what happens when you stop steeping the green tea and consume
the entire leaf?
Matcha is the powder form of green tea leaves that are handpicked from
only the top quality plants brimming with chlorophyll, antioxidants and other
healthy goodies that green tea has only it is more amplified.
Its pretty much always a part of my anti-cancer protocols for a patient,
Ballere said. It has many, many benefits.
In Japanese culture, matcha is used in tea ceremonies. The shade-grown
plant is plucked and striped of all stems and veins and ground into a superfine
powder. With great quality, only a small amount of matcha is needed.
Imagine how this plant is grown there is such amazing care put into it. It is
so much preparation, said Ballere, Its something special.
Most things we know are good for us are either given in pill or supplement
form and can simply become tedious to consume. Matcha is not only good for
you, but can be added to dishes to enhance flavor and nutritional value.
Youre making a tea, but its out of the powdered plant body, so you get all
the benefits of that whole plant, Ballere said. Its more of a food.
For those who have sensitivity to the caffeine, matcha may be a substitute.
Theanine is found in matcha which promotes calm and serene moods. It has
caffeine, too, for an energizing boost, but theres no caffeine crash of coffee.
You get both the stimulating effect of it and also the calming, Ballere said.
One thing that Ballere recommends to her patients is that they research

SISTER ACT SUBMITTED
Sister Act is the feel-good musical comedy smash

based on the hit 1992 film that has audiences jumping
to their feet. Featuring original music by Tony and
eight-time Oscar winner, Alan Menken (Newsies,
Beauty and the Beast, Little Shop of Horrors),
this uplifting musical was nominated for five
Tony awards including Best Musical. Filled with
powerful gospel music, outrageous dancing and
a truly moving story, Sister Act is a sparkling
tribute to the universal power of music and
friendship.

Sister Act is the story of disco diva Delo-

ris Van Cartier who witnessed a murder and
is put into protective custody in the one
place the cops are sure she wont be found:
a convent. Disguised as a nun, she finds
herself at odds with both the rigid lifestyle
and uptight Mother Superior. Using her
unique disco moves and singing talent to
inspire the choir, Deloris breathes new life
into the church and community but, in
doing so, blows her cover. Soon, the gang
is giving chase, only to find themselves
up against Deloris and the power of her
newly found sisterhood.
The musical will be presented by The
State Theatre Acting Company and the
Auburn Placer Performing Arts Center.

SIERRA THEATERS OFFERS WINE WITH A MOVIE

CINECAF
D inner and a movie has taken on a more convenient meaning in the foothills. Grass At Sierra Cinemas
Valleys Sierra Cinemas has added a cafe, complete with beer and wine service. Now 840 E. Main St., Grass Valley
you wont have to fill up on popcorn and Milk Duds (unless you want to), CineCaf sierratheaters.com
offers made-to-order sandwiches and pizza along with local craft beer and wines.
The four-screen theater showing current flicks, absorbed a 1,200-square-foot commercial
space next door.
It was an office space so it was a pretty extensive remodel, said Azriel LaMarca, daughter
of the theater owners, Mike and Barbara Getz.
The remodel included not only a kitchen, bar and seating area, but the theaters lobby got
a makeover, too. A new snack bar and equipment have freshened up the 28-year-old cinema.
Moving from the cafe to the theater is fluid because walls were torn down.
The experience when you come in is completely different, LaMarca said.
Whats on the menu?

CineCaf offers pizza, pulled-pork sandwiches, hotdogs, chicken strips, potato wedges, soup,
edamame, cheese plate, hummus plate, as well as locally made Three Forks, Ol Republic and
Sierra Nevada beer on tap and a selection of red and white wines.
Everything is good quality and fresh, LaMarca said regarding the food.
Order at the cafe counter and enjoy the meal at the 30-place seating area or take it into the
theater with your movie.
There are no waiters to refill your beer during the movie, however. Those who want a second
beer will have to go back to the cafe. The bonus is that others in the theater wont be disturbed
by servers going back and forth. Couple: Linda and John Chase enjoy a beer
And service is quick, which is good for the moviegoer or a worker on their lunch break. (Yes, before the movie starts.
you can go to the cafe and not be a ticket-holder.)
Long pull: Sierra Nevada, Three Forks and Ol
Republic is on tap at CineCaf.
