EDITOR’S NOTE

| DECEMBER 2018

| FRESNO FLYER |

The end of 2018 is here, can you believe it? This is the time most of us reflect on the previous eleven months to set our expectations and goals for the next twelve. Some of us say to ourselves, “I’m going to travel more, work out more, save money, or [insert new risk-taking adventure here]” As you dig out your resolution list, I want to challenge you to something. Are you ready? Here it comes. Instead of resolutions, take out the list that holds your life goals - yes, even the ones you held when you were a kid - and revisit it. Something weird happens when we hit 30, 40, and even 50... we tell ourselves we missed our chance at something, to do what we’ve always wanted to do. Maybe it’s a jaded case of disappointment that we never tried to accomplish that one thing or perhaps it’s a case of other people telling us that it’s impossible or too late. Listen, if it isn’t the military, chances are you’re never too late to give it a shot. We’ve somehow left dream-chasing to the youth and if we didn’t catch whatever we were after by the time we hit 30, well, then it was time to settle into a life-long routine of whatever it is we were already in. Why do we do that, either to ourselves or to other people? You’re not too old. YOU are NOT too old. Go back to school, explore a new in-

dustry, create your art, whatever it is - try. In no way do I mean to say that this will be easy - it’ll most likely be one of the hardest things you’ll ever do. Change is never easy, but it is how we grow. I think it’s a universal sort of agreement we can admit to that life is too short - and it would make sense to say, in addition to that, that life is too short not to take advantage of as many experiences as we can. I should also mention that this isn’t solely an age-related issue either. The reinforcing of our own capabilities has to happen when we’re young also - so if you’re teetering on the edge of a decision and you’re wondering if you can do the job, handle that major, or take that risk... only you can answer that. The best advice I can give to the younger generation is to trust your gut and give yourself the benefit of the doubt. Sometimes, all we need is a push something to affirm that we’re not crazy in pursuing a dream “so late in the game.” So, if you take any encouragement from this Editor’s Note, let it be that - no, you’re not off your rocker, yes you deserve to be happy, and absolutely, you should chase that dream like it’s the last bus out of town. Happy New Year, everyone, I wish you all the best going into 2019.

Fresno Collect-A-Con on December 9 By Lisa Talley | lisa@fresnoflyer.com

A signed poster of Iron Man by the late, great Stan Lee. A 1984 Topps Dan Marino rookie card. If you’re a collector, you know what these are potentially worth – either monetarily or personally. Finds like these are few and far between, but occur in the most unlikely of places. You’ll never know where they’re going to pop up, which is why a collector is always on the prowl. Just ask the man behind Fresno’s Collect-A-Con, Dave Fly. Before the days of Collect-A-Con, Fly was a planner for Frank & Son Collectible Show. One year, a man showed up with a van full of vintage Star Wars figurines, hundreds of unopened Boba Fett ships to be exact. And in case you’re wondering what something like that could be worth, a single unopened box goes for (at the time) $300 - $500. Now, they’re worth upwards to $1,000 – and that guy was offering up the whole lot for only $700. Fly walked away with van-load full of rare items at a steal. Over the years, Collect-A-Con has been a staple in the community of the Cen-

tral Valley - the stomping grounds for those diehard hunters of all things vintage, rare, and collectible in the comic and pop-culture worlds. On December 9, collectors and fans can find the event at the American Legion Post 509 in Fresno. “My favorite thing about these events is the comradery between us dealers and the people. A lot of customers of ours have been coming back to us for years, and it’s always good to see them coming in. It’s all about the connection between everybody … that’s what has kept me going for almost 30 years,” shared Fly about why he continues to do what he does. Collect-A-Con will be a oneday-only event that offers a playground of memorabilia, collectibles, comic books, figurines, and guest appearances by comic artists and even an original Glow Girl. It’ll be a place where vendors, collectors, and fans can get together to trade, sell, buy, and share a mutual enthusiasm for Marvel, DC, and pop-culture favorites. Fly brings his expertise from all

over the country, having hosted similar events in New York, Atlanta, Vegas, and Los Angeles. But he won’t just be bringing his experience, Fly will be at the event with his vintage Star Wars items in tow. Wonderland Comics, who have been working in tandem with Fly to get the event set up this December, will also be in attendance with a wide selection. Fresno CollectA-Con, formerly held at the Piccadilly Inn, has moved to the American Legion Post 509 where it can accommodate larger tables and a bigger crowd. Entry to the event is only $3 (kids under 12 are free). There is no set schedule of events and patrons are welcome to attend at any time during the event – 10 am to 3 pm. However, giveaways are set to go off every hour, every person receives a raffle ticket at the door. Prizes include toys, comic books, autographs, and memorabilia. So, you’ll want to be sure to

stick around even if you don’t hear your name on the first draw! The American Legion Post 509 is located at 3509 N First St, Fresno, 93726

5 Ways to Support Your Community this Holiday Season

(Family Features) Each year, the true spirit of the holidays can seem to get buried further beneath mountains of wrapping paper and drowned out by commercialism. However, when it comes to the holidays, gifts don’t have to come in glossy paper with crisp edges and hidden tape (though those are nice, too). For example, author Carol Lavin Bernick recommends focusing on gifts that make an impact, such as giving back within your community. The former chairman of beauty conglomerate Alberto Culver, Bernick published “Gather As You Go,” a book sharing insights she’s learned through her many roles: corporate leader, working mother, philanthropist and founder of the nonprofit organization Enchanted Backpack. Consider these tips from Bernick for making a difference without breaking the bank.

| DECEMBER 2018

1. It’s About More Than Just Dollars

Instead of measuring your support by how much money you give, focus on the many ways you can support organizations near and dear to you by spreading the word online and in-person while recruiting new supporters. Alternatively, you can find an organization that puts your knowledge and skills to work. For example, if you’re an artist or IT specialist, find a charity that needs your skill set. 2. Think Long-Term When you’re working with an organization, consider how you can help it find a longterm solution to problems. For example, if you’re interested in helping young girls excel in science and math, work with your local elementary or junior high school to establish or support an after-school STEM program.

| FRESNO FLYER |

3. Start at Home Teach your children the importance of giving back by donating gifts to those in need through charitable programs, volunteering at a food pantry or fundraising through a bake sale. 4. Shop with Purpose This year, you can make an impact with your holiday shopping by buying gifts that give

back. For instance, all proceeds from “Gather As You Go” directly benefit Enchanted Backpack. 5. Focus on Your Passions Define your focus and make a difference by dedicating yourself to one or two causes that excite you the most. Find your passion and pursue it.

For the Classic Entertainer

The American Legion Post 509 T

he Fresno Federal 509 Family is an active chapter of the American Legion, a non-profit organization, that seeks to serve the needs of the community’s veterans and their family. As it states on their website, “It is the nation’s largest wartime veterans service organization, committed to mentoring youth and sponsorship of wholesome programs in our communities, advocating patriotism and honor, promoting strong national security, and continued devotion to our fellow service members and veterans.” The 509 Family continuously runs programs throughout the year that help them maintain their mission of giving back to veterans in the Central Valley. The Operation Comfort Warriors program supports recovering wounded warriors and their families, providing them with “comfort items” and the kind of support that makes a hospital feel a little bit more like home. The Legion also raises millions of dollars in donations at the local, state and national levels to help veterans and their families during times of need and to provide college scholarship opportunities. Of the many ways they contribute to their community, the 509 Family also have an outstanding Honor Guard who provide military burial services for any veteran anywhere in the Valley. Open to the public, the 509 Family hosts numerous events throughout the month, every month, such as Bingo, Karaoke Night, and Sunday Dances. Details for December’s activities can be found in the Calendar section of this Fresno Flyer issue. The American Legion’s success depends entirely on active membership, participation, and volunteerism. The organization belongs to the people it serves and the communities in which it thrives. For more information on how to get involved, the Honor Guard, becoming a member, or hall rentals, call (559) 2240522.

1/4 cup finely chopped walnuts 2 tablespoons minced fresh sage Heat oven to 375 F. Thaw puff pastry sheets according to package instructions. Once thawed, unfold into thirds. Cut each third into 12 equal squares to make 48 squares. Grease two mini muffin tins; press each puff pastry square into muffin cup. Bake 8-10 minutes; remove from oven and press center of each cup in with end of wooden spoon.

Fuss-Free Holiday Recipe Inspiration (Family Features) Hosting holiday dinners can be stressful, even for the most seasoned home cooks. Between gift giving, cookie baking, home decorating and more, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s often little time left to think through a festive feast for a hungry crowd of family and friends. While the main entree and dessert are usually the first courses to be accounted for when planning, seasonal appetizers and sides can set your spread apart. Perfect for intimate gatherings or larger parties, a simple app like Cranberry Walnut and Brie Bites, filled with ingredients like Willow Tree Classic Chicken Salad and creamy Brie cheese, can leave guests anxiously awaiting the rest of the meal. Round out your menu with musthave sides like potatoes. For example, a traditional French dish like Dauphinoise Potatoes are easy to make and feature a homemade butter and garlic sauce, thinly sliced potatoes and rich Gruyere cheese. Once the hustle and bustle of the holidays are over, however, one of the last things many hosts want to do is cook anoth-

er big meal. With an option like Willow Tree Chicken Pies, you can skip the hassle and get a meal on the table quickly. For more easy hosting ideas and recipes, visit willowtreefarm.com.

Cranberry Walnut and Brie Bites

While puff pastry is baking, prepare cranberry sauce. Add bag of cranberries into saucepan. In pan over low heat, combine sugar, one strip orange or lemon zest and water; cook, stirring occasionally, until sugar dissolves and cranberries are soft, about 10 minutes. Increase heat to medium and cook until cranberries burst, about 12 minutes. Reduce heat to low. Add sugar, salt and pepper, to taste; let cool slightly and reserve. Fill center of each puff pastry cup with chicken salad, 1/2 teaspoon cranberry sauce and one piece Brie cheese. Bake 5-7 minutes, until Brie is melted. Top with chopped walnuts and minced sage. Serve warm.

Dauphinoise Potatoes Prep time: 20 minutes Cook time: 30-45 minutes Servings: 1 8 ounces potatoes 1 tablespoon butter 1 large clove garlic 1/2 cup heavy cream 1 ounce Gruyere cheese, for garnish salt pepper Heat oven to 350 F. Peel and finely slice potatoes. Add butter to saucepan and melt. Finely mince garlic and add to saucepan; saute gently until garlic is pale golden color. Add cream to saucepan and bring to rapid simmer but do not boil. In oven-safe dish, arrange slices of potato in even layers. Pour warm cream over potatoes slowly, allowing to seep between layers without overflowing dish. Top generously with sliced Gruyere cheese and place in oven, 30-45 minutes per portion. When done, potatoes should be golden-brown on top, bubbling at edges and a knife should slide easily into center.

Prep time: 20 minutes Cook time: 10-15 minutes Servings: 12-16 2 packages (17 ounces each) puff pastry 1 bag (12 ounces) fresh or frozen cranberries 1 cup sugar, plus additional, to taste 1 orange or lemon, zest only, cut into strips 2 tablespoons water salt, to taste pepper, to taste 1 container (7 1/2 ounces) Willow Tree Classic Chicken Salad 4 ounces Brie cheese, cut into 48 pieces | FRESNOFLYER.COM |

“I FEEL WE HAVE A JOB AS ARTISTS TO TOUCH PEOPLE’S LIVES IN A MEANINGFUL WAY.”

BLAZEFEST: FROM ASHES TO NEW Article & Photos by Steven Sanchez | stevenmychal@yahoo.com

rom Ashes to New, Bad Wolves, Five Finger Death Punch, and Breaking Benjamin all on the same bill together! That’s a metalhead’s fantasy. It was a reality when the bands came to Fresno on November 12th at the Save Mart Center as a part of Blazefest, an annual concert event that is hosted by local rock station, KKBZ 105.1 The Blaze. It was definitely one of the top showcases in the genre of rock this year in the Central Valley. The majority of the time, when a band on the rise or a high-profile act comes to the area, usually it’s the club venues or theatres in the downtown area like the Tower District’s Strummer’s, Fulton 55, Warnors Theatre, Crest Theatre, or the Rainbow Ballroom that are the go-to destinations. So, to see touring groups like these headlining one of the top arenas in the state was pretty awesome. And that goal, to headline venues all around the world spreading their message through music, is something that Pennsylvania natives From Ashes to New hope to do for a long time. They’re a nu-metal band, an infusion of rock and rap, inspired by past raprock pioneers like Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit, Rage Against the Machine, and Korn. Matt Brandyberry is the rapper, and Danny Case is the vocalist, a very similar setup like Linkin

10 | DECEMBER 2018

Park, where Mike Shinoda would provide the rap flow and rhymes, and when the song needed to turn up during the chorus Chester Bennington’s high octane vocals would be the musical closer. Their idols and their home have cultivated inspiration to their musical content, appeal, and identity as a band. If you check out From Ashes to New’s website, their description of their origin city, Lancaster - along with other American cities or towns of disillusionment - is that “suburban boredom, broken families, substance abuse, limited opportunity – this is an environment in which authentic, compelling creativity can thrive...” it’s places like these where the genres of rap and rock have the most appeal and relatability. “Both the styles of music, it allows for people to have an outlet for whatever pent-up aggression or frustration on whatever situation they’re in to get it out and it feels like someone understands them and somebody else can put into words what their feeling,” says Danny. And there was a time where the blend of rap and metal was at its mainstream peak in the late 90s/early 2000s. It’s worth asking, do they feel the pressure of carrying the flag of the genre as a new band into the next decade of the millennium?

| FRESNO FLYER |

“I sure would like to believe so,” Danny proclaims in a hopeful voice. “I think that over the years the nu-metal genre has been overlooked. And some of the biggest bands playing the biggest stages in the world are nu-metal bands like Disturbed and Korn, and there’s a lot of longevity in that style of music. I think people want more of it.” This drive to prove themselves serves as a good reason as to why they’ve been included in the charts during their tenure as a band since 2013. Five years and several lineup changes, they’ve gotten Billboard recognition on the Mainstream Rock Songs chart for their singles “Through It All” (#6), “Crazy” (#3), and Broken (#16). Conventional wisdom shows that for most popular bands it usually takes them upwards to almost ten years to receive chart-topping success. And they don’t let that chart acknowledgment steer their trajectory with their creative endeavors to be more pop or having to change in order to be accepted. Nor do they pay attention to the detractors who criticize them for being copycats of previous bands they look up to. They take it with a grain of salt when compared to bands they admire. When From Ashes to New took the stage, they may have been the openers, but

they owned the arena as if they were the main attraction. Matt and Danny scurried around the stage, marking their territory on every square inch. Even without a bass player, they had a complete sound. They demanded the audience move their hands in the air and they followed in unison. One heck of an indication that soon their name will be in the top slot wherever they play. They were followed by the LA fivesome, Bad Wolves, who are straight-forward heavy metal. Formed in 2017, the band is comprised of members from different groups. One of the best moments of the night was everybody hoisting their cell phones and lighters in the air as they busted into their rendition of The Cranberries classic “Zombie.” Then came Five Finger Death Punch, and pun-intended, after their performance that’s what it felt like. Even without original drummer Jeremy Spencer due to back surgery, being replaced by a guy named “The Engine” (later revealed to be Scale The Summit’s Charlie Engen) there was no change in tempo. A gigantic skull occupied most of the space with explosions, a levitating platform for the guitarist, lasers flashing, and confetti, regular things you expect to see at a rock show. Their pro-American show got everybody into an enjoyable frenzy. Breaking Benjamin was the headliner. They didn’t have much theatrics, except for some pyrotechnics here and there, but they didn’t need them. They played a crowd and personal favorite early in their set with “I Will Not Bow.” They’ve been a consistent touring rock act and name stay in rock radio, and after seeing them live, I see why. The show took place in the aftermath of the Thousand Oaks shooting and the wildfires. So, this lineup was definitely well-needed to cope with the frustration surrounding the recent tragedies. For the band, with moments like these, this is the purpose they want to serve. From Danny’s perspective, he isn’t in it for the vices that come with the rock life, he’s all about quality and giving it to his fans. “I feel we should stand for something, I think we should provide hope and inspiration for people, so I feel we have a job as artists to touch people’s lives in a meaningful way.” And the message Danny had for the Fresno attendees before the show... “There’s always going to be bad times in life, and bad things happen, it doesn’t mean that it has to define you. Let the bad times make you stronger, not tear you down.” For more photos and videos of the event check out Steven’s Instagram account @stevensanchez5807
