… the mighty Sierra, miles in height, and so gloriously colored and so radiant, it seemed not clothed with light but wholly composed of it, like the wall of some celestial city... Then it seemed to me that the Sierra should be called, not the Nevada or Snowy Range, but the Range of Light.

The first hints of spring flowers are beginning to emerge after a long winter season of snowfall, and while the snow is melting fast along the shores of Big Blue, the lifts are still turning at Tahoe’s ski resorts (but not for long). Most of our downhill and cross-country ski areas will be closing after the Easter holiday, but quite a few will still be open for snow lovers – Alpine Meadows, Heavenly, Mt. Rose, Squaw Valley and Tahoe Cross Country. Visit TheTahoeWeekly.com for a complete list of closure dates; click on Out & About.

LAKE TAHOE

How the lake was formed

About 3 to 5 million years ago, the valley that would become the Tahoe Basin sank between parallel fractures in the Earth’s crust as the mountains on either side continued to rise. A shallow lake began to form in the resulting valley.

Roughly 2 to 3 million years ago, erupting volcanoes blocked the outlet, forcing the lake to rise hundreds of feet above its current elevation, and eventually eroded down to near its current outlet.

Between 1 million and 20,000 years ago, large masses of glacial ice covered the west side of the Tahoe Basin. Current geologic theory suggests an earthen berm (moraine) left by a receding glacier near Olympic Valley acted as a dam, causing the lake level to rise and then draw down rapidly when the dam catastrophically failed. Between

7,000 and 15,000 years ago, a four-mile segment of the West Shore collapsed into the Lake causing a massive submerged debris avalanche, widening the Lake by three miles and creating McKinney Bay.1 The Tahoe Basin is mostly granite, with little topsoil, and therefore few nutrients have washed into the lake to promote the growth of algae and other organisms that make water murky.

As well, 40 percent of the precipitation falling into the Tahoe Basin lands directly on the lake. The remaining precipitation drains through the decomposed granite soil found in marshes and meadows, creating a good filtering system for water.

Urbanization of the Tahoe Basin has eliminated 75 percent of its marshes, 50 percent of its meadows and 35 percent of its steam zone habitats. About 85 percent of all wildlife in the Tahoe Basin use these habitats.

About the lake Lake Tahoe is located in the states of California and Nevada, with two-thirds in California. It is fed by 63 streams and two hot springs.

The Truckee River is Tahoe’s only outlet and flows from the dam in Tahoe City east through Reno and eventually drains into Pyramid Lake in the Nevada desert.

However, water releases are not permitted when the lake surface level falls below the natural rim at 6,223.’ The lowest lake level on record (measured since 1900) was 6,220.26’ on Nov. 30, 1992.

The Lake of the Sky appears blue in color as other colors in the light spectrum are absorbed and blue light is scattered back.

Lake clarity The University of California, Davis, operates the Tahoe Environmental Resarch Center, which monitors, among other

things, the clarity of Lake Tahoe. Clarity has been measured since 1968 and was first recorded at 102.4’.

The waters of Lake Tahoe were clear to an average depth of 59.7 in 2017. The lowest average depth on record was 64.1’ in 1997. Lake Tahoe is losing clarity because of algae growth fueled by nitrogen and phosphorus.

Lake Tahoe’s discovery The first recorded discovery of Lake Tahoe by white explorers was on Feb. 14, 1844, when John Charles Frémont and Charles Preuss spotted the lake from atop Red Lake Peak. The lake went through several names before it was officially named Tahoe in 1945.

Tahoe is a mispronunciation of the first two syllables of the Washoe’s word for the lake – Da ow a ga, which means “edge of the lake.” 

Truckee River Guide

DOCUMENTING THE RIVER’S LIVING HISTORY S T O R Y B Y K AY L A A N D E R S O N | P H O T O S C O U R T E S Y K E L S E Y M c C U T C H E O N F I T Z G E R A L D

O

n a spring morning in Truckee, I was enjoying a coffee outside Züri Coffee Co. and saw a flock of white pelicans fly overhead. Were those actually white pelicans, I wondered. Curious about seeing the coastal birds in the Tahoe Sierra, I did what most people do: I went home and Googled it.

One of the first search-engine results that came up was the Truckee River Guide, a place online where people can document the wildlife they see along

“ I want to make a snapshot of what the river is today, have some sort of record that people could look back on.”

–Kelsey McCutcheon Fitzgerald the Truckee River. The site confirmed that white pelicans in fact do exist in the Tahoe Sierra.

Truckee River Guide began as a master’s project for University of Nevada, Reno journalism student Kelsey McCutcheon Fitzgerald. With a bachelor’s degree in biology from a college in upstate New York, Fitzgerald spent a few years working at wildlife conservation preserves and refuges from Oklahoma to Hawaii. In 2004, Fitzgerald got a job with the Nevada Conservation Corps and fell in love with Nevada.

“The Nevada desert is just gorgeous,” she says.

In 2008, Fitzgerald then took a position with an environmental consulting group doing restoration along the Truckee River.

She started learning about the different species and their local habitat along the 121-mile river that flows from Tahoe City to Pyramid Lake — and she got the idea to create Truckee River Guide.

“I started learning about the different species, history and what has declined on the Truckee River. I found that a lot of information about it was tied up in confidential government documents and there was no reference book to look at to find out about everything in Nevada,” she says.

Therefore, she wanted to create something participatory, something that everyone could contribute to.

“I spent 10 years working on different jobs in the West and there was not a lot of public outreach regarding what we were doing,” she says. “So, I was hoping that writing about this science and what 6

CLOCKWISE FROM TOP LEFT: The Truckee

we were noticing out in the field would be interesting.”

Today, she works as a science writer at the Desert Research Institute.

Since launching the Truckee River Guide in January 2015, people have submitted 275 observations documenting 122 different species of animals found on the Truckee River. There are submissions for mammals, fish, birds, trees, shrubs, grasses, wildflowers, insects and reptiles.

“The one I was surprised in looking at in the observations was the American mink. I didn’t know they lived here,” Fitzgerald says. “And it’s by far the most commonly reported; we’ve had 35 mink sightings.”

The most common animals on the Truckee River in general are Canada geese and mallards, but when people see something as unusual as a mink, they are more likely to report it. Another interesting find is the leopard slug. Fitzgerald personally likes the hooded merganser ducks and the American white pelicans.

“[The pelicans] go to the California coast in the winter and then migrate to Pyramid Lake in the summer to nest,” she says.

Fitzgerald does do some light vetting when people submit observations because she knows the Truckee River well and will follow up if something is too out of the ordinary or could be confused with another kind of animal. For instance, minks and muskrats look a lot alike, except that minks eat fish and muskrats eat plants. Both have been spotted on the Truckee River.

“I’ve heard there are otters on the Truckee River, too, but I have yet to spot

one. If anyone sees an otter, I’d love an observation on that,” she says.

Fitzgerald’s long-term goal is to create a guidebook on the Truckee River that people can refer to; the online guide is a start.

“My goal of the project isn’t necessarily to make a big discovery but to make a record of what’s here and the changing environment,” Fitzgerald says. “I want to make a snapshot of what the river is today, have some sort of record that people could look back on.” | truckeeriverguide.com, Truckee River Guide on Facebook 

North Lake Tahoe Community Awards

Stanislaus snowmobile

plan released

The Stanislaus National Forest has released its final over-snow vehicle plan for the district, with the comment period open until May 6. Over-snow vehicles, or OSVs, include motorized vehicles such as snowmobiles, snowbikes and UTVs. Anyone who has already commented on the Environmental Impact Statement and the Draft Record of Decision may file objections on these documents at this time. No new comments are being accepted.

The Draft Record of Decision under consideration would designate about 129,780 acres of the Stanislaus National Forest for public cross country OSV use and about 83.7 miles of OSV trails, of which 24.7 miles would be available for snow grooming. This alternative includes installing five temporary winter stream crossings annually.

SIERRA STORIES

BY MARK McLAUGHLIN

Me xican-American War & St. Patrick’s B a t t a l i o n | P a r t I V The U.S. suffered 1,031 dead or wounded on Aug. 20 in the bloodiest day of fighting in a war that claimed a total of 1,722 Americans. The fierce resistance by the San Patricios and their mastery of heavy guns took out nearly 12 percent of Gen. Winfield Scott’s 9,000 troops.

On the Mexican side, more than 6,000 of Gen. Santa Anna’s soldiers were killed or wounded.

Seventy-two renegades were charged with desertion of duty and brought to trial. Others were released due to assorted mitigating circumstances. Well aware of a policy that allowed drunken AWOL

The American army approached the Churubusco Monastery knowing that victory there would lead to the invasion of Mexico City and the war’s end.

O

n Aug. 18, 1847, Mexican General Gabriel Valencia — in charge of 7,000 armed troops supported by 23 cannons — defied a direct order by Commanding General Antonio López de Santa Anna to pull back. Protected by what he considered impenetrable mountains and a vast volcanic lava field, Valencia felt confident he could stop the enemy there. But the Americans found paths through the fissures of calcified lava.

At dawn on Aug. 19, U.S. troops rushed into the Mexican camp of sleepy, hungover soldiers and cut them down by the hundreds. Panicked, Valencia’s army crumbled in 17 minutes. Santa Anna watched the mayhem through his field glass from 2,000 yards away, but declined to bring his 12,000 troops into the fight to crush the vastly outnumbered Americans, a decision that ultimately cost him the war.

The American army approached the Churubusco Monastery knowing that victory there would lead to the invasion of Mexico City and the war’s end. American soldiers ran toward the formidable defenses manned by St. Patrick’s Battalion and Mexican regulars. Leader John Patrick Riley ran the battalion’s distinctive green flag up behind his gun battery in plain view of the Americans.

When the leading troops of the American infantry were 60 yards away, Riley yelled “Fire!” The fusillade tore into the U.S. soldiers, killing and wounding hundreds and sending the rest scrambling into nearby corn fields for protection.

Subsequent charges withered in the hail of bullets. For hours the Americans were pinned down and at the mercy of musket and cannon fire from the convent. Riley and his men directed their artillery with the accuracy of trained snipers.

As American soldiers slowly crawled forward in mud among the corn stalks, they were incensed by the deserters and the hated green flag of the St. Patrick’s Battalion. For Riley and his men, it symbolized Irish resistance to the religious discrimination and physical abuse systemic in the U.S. Army at that time, as well as their sympathy for Catholic Mexicans protecting their homeland against invaders.

When the Churubusco defenders ran out of ammunition, U.S. soldiers stormed the complex. Riley and 84 of his men were taken into custody. Shackled in chains, the survivors were dragged into a courtyard piled high with the dead and wounded from both sides. American soldiers cursed and spat at Riley and the other defectors — only strict discipline kept the emotional troops from killing the deserters. One officer fumed: “These wretches served the guns - the use of which they had been taught in our own service - and with fatal effect, upon the persons of their former comrades.”

soldiers back into the ranks, 32 Irishmen pleaded not guilty due to intoxication. They claimed that they were on drinking sprees when captured by Mexicans and forced to bear arms against the Americans. At the time, the Articles of War considered drunkenness a valid legal defense to the specific crime of desertion.

The officers conducting the court martial ignored these arguments and all of the defendants were sentenced to death by hanging, except two that were to be shot by firing squad. The court’s verdicts were sent to Gen. Scott for final approval, modification or dismissal. Scott reprieved the death warrants for some of the men, including San Patricio leader Maj. Riley.

Riley and these other U.S. soldiers had deserted before the 1846 declaration of war by Congress and Articles of War provisions stipulated that these men could not be given the death penalty.

Instead they were punished with 50 lashes (the maximum allowed), branded by hot iron with the letter “D” for deserter on their hip — 1 inch in length and with indelible ink. Scott ordered Riley and some of the other defectors to be branded on their face, a particularly sadistic act that violated the provisions in the Articles of War. In fact, for Riley, when the letter was mistakenly burned into his cheek upside down, the soldier wielding the hot iron was ordered to do it again correctly. And during Riley’s lashing with knotted rawhide, the officer in charge pretended to lose count and the leader of the Irish battalion was whipped 59 times.

For Mexican observers, the public spectacle was shocking and appalling.

Citizens and clergy were aghast at the barbaric torture that the Americans carried out against their own people. The total of 50 men hanged during those 72 hours is still the largest mass execution in U.S. history.

The punishments, cruel, unusual and excessive even by the standards of the 1840s American military, and the way they were carried out, were emblematic of the contempt and revulsion against IrishCatholic immigrants by officers in the U.S. Army specifically, and by America’s Protestant-centric culture in general at that time.

After the war, all military prisoners were released. John Riley and the other freed San Patricios were destitute. The Mexican Minster of War sent Riley and his men money and invited them to reenlist in a newly reconstituted St. Patrick’s Battalion that the Mexican Army needed to help provide order in the country’s post-war chaos.

In U. S. military history, the St. Patrick’s Battalion is vilified as traitorous deserters who inflicted heavy casualties against the American army. But in Mexico the battalion is revered for brave actions against the Yankee invaders. The old Monastery of Churubusco in Mexico City now houses the National Museum of the Interventions. The museum recounts the history of unwanted incursions into Mexico by foreign forces, such as the Spanish, American and French.

In the town of San Angel, there is a large monument that lists the names of 71 soldiers who switched sides to fight for Mexico; the majority of surnames were Irish (48) and German (13). At the top of the marble edifice is the Celtic cross of Ireland with the inscription: “In Memory of the Heroic Battalion of Saint Patrick, Martyrs Who Gave Their Lives for the Mexican Cause during the Unjust North American Invasion of 1847.”  Tahoe historian Mark McLaughlin is a nationally published author and professional speaker.

A day with Dragons S T O R Y B Y M I C H E L L E T. A L L E N

T

here are many amazing museums in the Tahoe-Reno area that feature exhibits that are fun for everyone in the family. One that recently caught my attention was “The Lost World of Dragons” exhibit at the Wilbur D. May Museum in Reno, Nev. The museum, located inside Rancho San Rafael Regional Park, is part of the May Center, a tribute to local renaissance man, Wilbur D. May, and his commitment to philanthropy and education. The

these legends and the differences in symbolic interpretation. museum hosts the Wilbur D. May collection from his global travels; it also includes other temporary exhibits such as “The Lost World of Dragons.”

For centuries, dragon legends have been present in the folklore of many cultures around the world. This exhibit details the history of these legends and the differences in symbolic interpretation. Eastern folklore depicts dragons as serpentine creatures that represented good fortune. On the other end of the spectrum, in Medieval and Western cultures, they are typically portrayed as winged lizard-like monsters

that breathe fire and create havoc and destruction. Whatever the meaning, dragons have fascinated people young and old and they continue to do so today. My son, Anikin, is also fascinated by them and I thought the exhibit would be the perfect destination for a family outing.

We enter the exhibit with my husband, Luke. It is open and spacious, with high ceilings and is decorated with stone accents

and natural foliage. We walk down a little stone path, across a bridge that overlooks a water feature that looks like a creek bed where Luke and Anikin spot two turtles in the water.

The exhibit is filled with large animatronic dragons that look eerily realistic perched atop pedestals representing images from different cultures.

Interactive stations designed for kids tell the stories of dragons. Our attention is drawn to a wall display with rotating blocks. Each block is a section of a larger picture. We have fun flipping them around to make a complete dragon image appear.

We pass a coloring station with lots of vibrant colors and dragon stencils to choose from. Several small kids are happily coloring, and I hear one making dragon sounds as he colors. Continuing around the exhibit, we find a puppet theater and

spend a lot of time creating our own shows. Anikin and Luke also try out one of the digital animation stations with interchangeable backdrops and dragon figures that they use to create an animated story.

Then we discover an animatronic, serpentine dragon imprisoned in a cage.

This dragon appears to be breathing and gives us the feeling that it could be alive.

We come across a virtual reality experience that allows participants the opportunity to ride on the back of a dragon. Anikin is very excited and wants to do it. Unfortunately, we quickly learn that he is not allowed because the age requirement is 13 and older.

On the other side of the museum is the year-round exhibit of the Wilbur D. May collection. May was a local Nevada rancher, aviator, soldier, world traveler, philanthropist and artist. He collected many artifacts during his travels including African tribal masks, Asian pottery, antique firearms and other weapons.

May’s collection of artwork is on display along with some of his own paintings and drawings.

His collection of animal pelts, busts and bones from his hunting adventures stand out in the collection. It is noted that this passion for hunting was fueled by his sense of adventure but also by his desire to learn more about animal diversity and to pass on this knowledge to others.

Even though we didn’t have time this trip to check out the Wilbur D. May Arboretum & Botanical Garden and botanical gardens, we make a plan to come back another time.

“The World of Dragons” exhibit runs through May 12 with extended hours every Friday for the “Dragons After Dark” series.

New book on

Nevada’s beer

T H E C R E AT I V E I N C L I N AT I O N S O F

Hannah Eddy S T O R Y B Y K AY L A A N D E R S O N | P H O T O S C O U R T E S Y H A N N A H E D D Y

“Nevada Beer: An Intoxicating History” by Pat Evans traces the roots, the failures and the revival of Nevada’s beer businesses.

Nevada’s population boomed in the 1800s, ignited by the rush to find gold and silver.

Thousands of prospectors, many German immigrants, passed through the up-andcoming mining towns; breweries popped up in their wake. As the mining slowly wound down, whole towns disappeared, and breweries struggled to survive.

T

he first time I met Hannah Eddy — then Hannah Fuller — was at the Truckee Skate Park. She was effortlessly skating the bowls, ollieing up onto rails, doing kickflips. She was friendly and effervescent; she seemed like the kind of person who could inspire you to get better at anything you wanted to do.

“ Tahoe encompasses all the stuff I want to be drawing and painting. There’s so much exploring to do, and I love coming home and putting what I saw that day on paper. If I can keep creating and stay inspired, then that’s all I can ask for of my art.”

–Hannah Eddy Almost a decade later, I see her art hanging in Coffeebar Squaw alongside her friend and fellow artist Chelsea Jolly’s work. Eddy’s art is fun, colorful and often depicts Tahoe landscapes or funny cartoon characters skateboarding, snowboarding, biking and enjoying the outdoors.

“Ever since I can remember, I have always picked up a pen and drawn and 14

I would always draw the weirdest stuff out of my imagination,” Eddy says.

She believes that she started sketching in kindergarten and has never stopped. Growing up in Maine on the ocean, she earned a love of the outdoors from her family. She sailed, hiked and skateboarded and became drawn to skateboard graphics and the weird, bright colors associated with them.

She went to the University of Colorado, Boulder and studied art, but she didn’t really know what to do with that education.

Always an outdoors enthusiast, Eddy went to the High Cascade Snowboard Camp in Mount Hood, Ore., and met professional snowboarder Tim Eddy, who would become her husband. He introduced her to Tahoe’s Sierra Nevada, and she moved to Truckee in 2010.

Through the years, she worked at pizza parlors in Truckee and bakeries, feeling that baking was her artistic outlet. Fellow Truckee resident and artist Lorien Powers saw Eddy’s acrylic, mixed-media wood panels and invited her to hang some of it in her studio, Lorien Powers Studio Jewelry. People liked her work and kept buying it.

“It gave me the confidence to sell my art here,” Eddy says.

After I saw her art in Coffeebar, I hunted her down on Instagram right around the time she launched #100daysofhannaheddyart at the end of July 2018. In this personal challenge, Eddy posted 100 illustrations in 100 days (not consecutively) as a way to force herself to focus on her craft, learn digital art and promote her creations.

It also gave herself the confidence to release her work — whether she thought it was good or not.

Hannah Eddy working on a piece; Untitled ; “Place in a Vase”

“After 100 days something becomes a habit and I wanted to do something that I could get excited about. I also wanted to rebrand myself and learn some stuff about digital art,” she says.

Her illustrations such as “Reflection,” “Base Camp,” “Place in a Vase” and “Sea Fades to Sky,” show simple landscapes with vast mountains, water and flowing topographic lines.

The challenge, and the exposure she’s gotten from Instagram, has prompted people to reach out to her about designing logos and other projects. According to Eddy, forcing oneself to release art whether one thinks it’s good or not takes the ego out of it: “It’s a good reminder to not take yourself too seriously and get out of your own way.”

She was worried about oversharing and she admits that she did lose some followers, but also gained a new crowd of fellow artists.

“Social media is a strange beast,” she says.

She had been wondering whether she should stay within a certain style people liked. Yet, she doesn’t want to restrict herself to one artistic style. She has many creative inclinations. So far, her goal is to keep creating and learning new things and to take the concepts she learned from #100daysofhannaheddyart and apply them to future projects.

“I want to stay inspired, promote positivity and continue to do what I’m passionate about,” she says. “Tahoe encompasses all the stuff I want to be drawing and painting. There’s so much exploring to do, and I love coming home and putting what I saw that day on paper. If I can keep creating and stay inspired then that’s all I can ask for of my art.” | etsy.com, @hannaheddyart 

Carson Brewing Company was closed in 1948, Reno Brewing Company shut its doors in 1957 and it would be decades before craft brewers such as Great Basin, Big Dog’s and Revision brought local beer back into the spotlight. The book’s forward was written by Tom Young of Great Basin Brewing Company. | arcadiapublishing.com

TAHOE’S COMPLEX

WATERSHED For more than two decades, Maya Lin has engaged the vocabulary of a cartographer, making artworks ranging from stand-alone sculptures to room-sized installations that help people visualize the complex natural and cultural systems operating in the world.

The Nevada Museum of Art invited Lin to make new artworks in response to the unique Lake Tahoe landscape in 2012, which resulted in a series of sculptures including “Pin River—Tahoe Watershed,” which is on display until Dec. 31. The piece is a largescale wall installation made from thousands of straight pins showing the perimeter of Lake Tahoe and its tributaries. | nevadaart.org

Taurus (Apr 20-May 21)

Deciphering who are and are not your friends is on your mind. The important question is: are you your friend? Now, as your own friend, are you able and willing to tell yourself things that are true? As well, are your ideals of friendship realistic? This is where the plot deepens. These and other such questions are leading you to reflect on who and what is true and real.

Scorpio (Oct 22-Nov 21)

The changing weather is inspiring you to take new initiatives. Some of these include artistic pursuits. While appreciating the creative talents and expressions of others is possible, you especially want to be the performer and not simply a spectator. Your ambitions are also coming back to life. Your biggest challenge now likely includes deciding which of your many inspirations you want to realize.

Gemini (May 21-Jun 21)

The sky used to be the limit, now it is the stratosphere for you, at least currently. Lofty thoughts and ideas are mingling with ideals and realities. Either way, you want to enter new territory, to break free of any restrictions. At least this is true in your mind. If you can exercise a more practical approach, you will be focusing to make dreams reality.

Sagittarius (Nov 21-Dec 21)

You are in a playful mood. It can also be described as feisty. In other words, you are in the mood to cross swords with others. Whether by choice or circumstance, this can manifest as a bit of debate.

This momentum will build as the week progresses.

Subtle words and gestures directed your way early on could fester, then heat up and ignite into a blaze.

Cancer (Jun 21-Jul 22) Last week’s Aries New Moon has served to activate your Yang, your proactive assertiveness, that is. In some respects, you remain is a whimsical and philosophical mood that has been lingering for weeks.

But this will shift gears as the week progresses. If you feel the need to get in some last hibernation snoozes, get them in this week because this is the last all for such slumbering.

Leo (Jul 22-Aug 23)

Capricorn (Dec 21-Jan 19)

Your resolve is steadily building. Already, you are working hard to make things happen. Many ideas and plans are inspiring you to action. At worst, you have doubts and have to dig deep to access your faith and inspiration. Otherwise, you could be caught in a vortex of depression. Focus on those activities that are aligned with your gifts and talents for best results.

Aquarius (Jan 19-Feb 19)

As if suddenly, you are on a roll. Last week was slow but the momentum is building quickly now and this will continue. The time is right to venture a highway if the opportunity is there. Adventure is the keyword and it does include a revolutionary impulse.

As long as the rebel in you has a cause, you should be able to stay out of trouble and make progress.

Circumstances of late continue to alter some of your perspectives. At least you want to engage with some fun in the sun. This mood will increase steadily all week. Do what you can to attend to unfinished business this week because you will want to direct your focus to new initiatives and perspectives by the weekend.

Virgo (Aug 23-Sep 22)

Pisces (Feb 19-Mar 20)

While others are getting out, you are diving in. This could manifest as spring cleaning or getting into the corners of a project that has been waiting for its time. Either way, you do feel quite passionate and intense could even apply. This focus includes learning and teaching. Doing research is also indicated. Yet get ready, the effort required could be more than you thought.

Many new projects and ideas have been surfacing. While you have probably already taken the initiative, this is more a time of preparing and building momentum than trying to bring things to completion.

Yet, you are willing to dig deep and uncover what treasures are there. Of course, this also implies the need to remove the debris and waste.

Libra (Sep 22-Oct 22)

You are in the mood to explore and you would

like someone to join you. If a significant other is not available, your focus could turn to an inner discovery process. Both approaches could produce good results, as long as you do not get lost in too many details, which is quite possible according to the planetary lineup. Spring is in the air and you want some.

Aries (Mar 21-Apr 20)

While the planetary line-up does not indicate a big physical energy output for you, it does suggest that your mind is working overtime. Ideas, thoughts, imaginings, and epiphanies are all vying for your attention. Positively, these are inspiring creative interests. However, you may feel just as happy to think and dream, for now. But this mood will shift this week

CryptoQuip

When frolicking with a well-fed web-footed bird, I suppose you’re playing with a full duck.

Hocus Focus differences: 1. Apron is missing, 2. Boy’s cap is turned forward, 3. Shorts are longer, 4. Items are missing from shelf, 5. There are more wall bricks, 6. Pipe is lower on wall.

STORY BY SEAN McALINDIN

Reno Jazz Festival | April 25-27 | Reno, Nev., venues

T

he teenagers may have been groggyeyed and lifeless when they arrived just after 6 in the morning, but by the time conductor Jesse Steele wrapped up his daily morning rehearsal with the Truckee High School Jazz Band, the band room hummed with lively sounds and joyful activity.

“The most important thing is learning how to work with each other to overcome challenges,” says Steele. “And they get to have the experience of being a professional musician.”

The course begins at the start of the school year with auditions for two judges who cannot see the performer.

“There is resiliency to be learned in the audition process,” says Steele. “Half of the kids in the current first jazz band were at some point rejected.”

Those students are placed in the second jazz band under the guidance of Lucas Arizu, an Argentinian national who studied at Buenos Aires Music School before relocating to the U.S. to perform and teach professionally. A flautist and guitarist by trade, he plays his sensational style of Latin-influenced classical jazz regularly

Courtesy Reno Jazz Festival

“ We have all felt how music can bring so much joy and fun to our lives and when you are a part of music in the schools, you are getting that enrichment from music every day.” throughout Northern Nevada and the Tahoe Sierra with his wife, Darcy Stevens, and nine-member Motown-jazz collective, The Bayberry Cast, as well as the highly noted Reno Jazz Orchestra.

“Jesse did such good job in his first couple of years that we started a second band,” says Arizu. “We definitely try to get that message across that [the students] are part of something bigger than themselves and that it’s cool to care. In high school, you sometimes think bands are lame and that people are going to make fun of you.

I try my best to convey the message that no one is going to care what you did in high school when you get to college. It is super cool to show that you care, and you can get a lot out of it.”

YOUNG PROFESSIONALS

Joining the group is no small commitment. Once they’ve secured their spot, students meet at 6:30 a.m. every morning before school to rehearse. The smaller jazz combos practice after school and all are expected to spend additional time outside of class learning their parts for public

–Todd Holway performances, which occur at least once a month.

“We have a fun, casual, working atmosphere with high expectations,” says Steele.

“We’ve gone and had a poor performance and come back and stepped it up and worked hard to have an amazing performance the next time. They’ve learned that if they work really hard, it’s a gratifying experience.”

Truckee, North Tahoe and South Lake high schools will all perform at the Reno Jazz Festival on April 25 to 27, where they will have the opportunity to compete against other schools, as well as take in performances by acclaimed international artists. This year’s festival features Walter Smith III with Reno faculty jazz ensemble, The Collective; Chilean tenor saxophonist Melissa Aldana; a festival showcase of competition winners; and clinics and jam sessions led by pros.

“The students get to go and experience music first hand,” says South Lake High School conductor Jordan Bagheri. “They experience the opportunity of playing with professionals. There is a development

of their own unique sound and character.

I’ve found that the jazz band grows as a group and develops closer bonds.”

Both Steele and Incline High School conductor Todd Holway are members of the popular local nonet Sneaky Creatures, who can be found at area festivals and late-night venues radiating their trademark version of gypsy punk groove.

“I think playing professionally is huge when it comes to teaching music,” says Steele. “It gives you that first-person experience of being on stage and makes what you do every day relatable.”

“Our jazz band does a lot of work from daily rehearsals to performing at jazz festivals, playing out in the community and doubling as a pep band in parades, football and basketball games,” says Holway. “It is a huge commitment that they all take on because they enjoy sounding good as a band and they can feel that appreciation they get back from it. We have all felt how music can bring so much joy and fun to our lives and when you are a part of music in the schools, you are getting that enrichment from music every day.” | unr.edu/rjf 

TOLD IN SONG STORY BY SEAN McALINDIN

Kristie Pellegrino

“The Truckee Historical Revue” | May 4-5 | Community Arts Center | Truckee

W

e all know Truckee has a vibrant and unusual history. Since the Gold Rush days, there has never been a lack of lively characters and noteworthy stories. Now one local chorus has teamed up with a cast of local artisans, composers and performers to bring the past to life through song.

“Usually we have an eclectic program with a lot of different genres, a potpourri so to speak,” says Susan Horst, the musical conductor and artistic director of the Truckee Tahoe Community Chorus. “Our founding conductor Chris Nelson [who

and add things that are period specific,” he says “We spent a lot of time with TruckeeDonner Historical Society to make sure everything was historically accurate. There are a lot of stories floating around and we want to make sure we have it right. Everything has been authenticated.”

Nelson started with the lyrics before writing the music, which ranges through classical, folk, Americana, blues and rock ‘n’ roll.

“I wanted to make it a musical evolution, as well,” he says. “I was always taught you can’t just be one special kind of composer.

“ Chris [Nelson] wanted to bring true history to life and we wanted the community to remember and that’s why we have worked so hard to bring it to life.”

–Patty Gegenheimer

passed on in 2012] wanted to develop a musical to portray Truckee’s colorful history. There was a pool of money dedicated to his vision that sat around until the board decided it was time.”

Truckee Tahoe Community Chorus was founded in 2002 so local singers could come together to learn different types of music and perform in the area. People joined from Truckee and as far away as Sierraville, Donner Summit and the North Shore.

The choir now includes 60 members.

On May 4 and 5, the chorus is joining forces with the dancers of InnerRhythms Dance, singer/songwriter Richard Blair and composer David Wendell Nelson to present an original musical production titled, “The Truckee Historical Revue.”

The presentation encompasses the history of Truckee and surrounding areas beginning with the pre-pioneer days when Native Americans lived in equilibrium with nature. Washoe alto Susan Mushrush begins the concert in a Dorian mode that rises and falls in her native language.

“It breathes in this primitive way,” says Nelson. “There is a chant-like quality that rises and falls hypnotically along with the choir.”

A longtime Los Angeles music theory and composition professor who retired to Tahoe, Nelson has contributed original compositions to several local productions including Lake Tahoe Music Festival.

“We had to start from the large picture

32

We are trained to write in every kind of genre that exists. For me, to write in different styles is a true joy.”

The completed work includes stories and songs about the Donner Party, the Transcontinental Railroad, Boca Beer, Chinese and Irish immigrants, vigilante justice, modern-day tourism and more. More than 120 talented local and guest singers, dancers and musicians dressed in period attire will perform as part of the production, including members of the barbershop quarter OK Chorale and the Diablo Valley College Philharmonic Orchestra, not to mention noted local historian, actor and writer McAvoy Lane as Mark Twain.

Truckee Tahoe Youth Chorus will perform a pre-show of Americana folk tunes.

“The choir is a wonderful program for community members to continue with their collegiate education tuition free,” says Tahoe Truckee chorus president Patty Gegenheimer. “Chris wanted to bring true history to life, and we wanted the community to remember and that’s why we have worked so hard to bring it to life.”

The project has been taking shape for nearly two years and the cast has been actively rehearsing since January at the Community Arts Center.

“The whole project has taken on a life of its own,” says Horst. “If it’s a smash success, we hope it will be done again. After all, we’re the best community chorus over 6,000 feet.” | tdrpd.org 

The market will feature Tahoe Food Hub local produce, proteins, dairy and specialty products and more.

Gonzalez is a food artisan and chef well known in the region for her salsas and tamales. She also runs Chula Eatery in La Quinta.

one Eagle Grille boasts one of the most picturesque dining spots in Tahoe. The restaurant nestled along the shores of Lake Tahoe offers sweeping views of the mountains with stunning sunsets that radiate alpenglow hues of pink and oranges illuminating the evening sky. It is truly a magnificent backdrop for dinner and cocktails.

The dining room was alive with activity — bottles of wine being poured, plates of food being delivered, and the aroma of deliciousness filled the air.

I had the pleasure of attending the restaurant’s first Wine Maker’s Dinner hosted by Blackbird Vineyards. Chef Shane Hammett paired each wine selection with an amazing five-course meal. Christie Lee joined me along with Kressa Olguin, marketing manager for Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe.

The dining room was alive with activity — bottles of wine being poured, plates of food being delivered, and the aroma of deliciousness filled the air. Chef Hammett arrived at our table with the first course of crispy Kumamoto oysters. The oysters were flown in the night before from Puget Sound, Wash. They were lightly breaded and served with an apple relish and Niman Ranch prosciutto. The dish was paired with the Blackbird Vineyards Dissonance Sauvignon Blanc poured by one of the three house sommeliers on the floor.

Paul Leary, president of Blackbird Vineyards, was walking around the dining room, chatting about the wine with diners.

He explained that it was fermented in an Amphora vessel, a technique used by the Romans and that this wine was like a Bordeaux Blanc. It was light and crisp and paired well with the first course. The oysters were wonderful. The combination of the sweet apples, salty prosciutto and crispy oysters followed by the wine was not only delicious but a perfect match.

The second course was a Foie Gras Mousse with both grilled and fresh strawberries topped with a basil brioche crumble and watercress and finished off with golden balsamic. The combination of the salty mousse and sweet berries in this dish was excellent and delicious with the housemade bread. The mousse was served with Blackbird Vineyards Arena Rosé from San Francisco. The grapes for

this wine were grown from 135-year-old vines planted in 1886. It was luscious, dry and fruity and paired nicely the Foie Gras mousse and berries.

Leary came by and poured the Blackbird Vineyard Arise, a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. The label is a reference to the Beatles song “Blackbird” lyrics: “You were only waiting for this moment to arise.” The wine was rich and smooth with hints of blackberries. I loved this wine as my preference for reds took center stage.

This wine was poured to accompany Chef Hammett’s third course: a 28-day dry-aged American Waygu Striploin cooked rare with grilled trumpet mushrooms in a chicory, black truffle vinaigrette and avocado chimichurri. The tender beef was cooked to perfection.

I loved the chimichurri and black truffle sauce drizzled atop the strip. The mushroom was delightfully smoky. Each dish seemed to raise the bar and outdo the one before it. My taste buds were having quite the experience.

When the chef dropped by with the fourth course, a smoked Niman Ranch Lamb Belly atop a sunchoke puree with poached Cipollini onion, Leary poured the Blackbird Paramour Cabernet Franc.

Cabernet Franc is one of my favorite reds and it paired so well with the lamb belly I just about died and left my body. The

chef braised the lamb and served it with a cocoa rosemary jus. The sunchoke puree was creamy and buttery with a touch of sweetness to it.

The evening was completed with a most decadent Chocolate Raspberry Bombe.

It was garnished candied raspberries, espresso chocolate sauce and Chambord Anglaise. The sweet and tangy chocolaty ball of goodness melted in my mouth and delighted my taste buds. It was one of the most unique and luscious desserts I’ve indulged in.

“I enjoyed the creative food and knowing that the chef considered the key ingredient in his food love. It enhanced the overall experience and created the atmosphere and ambience for the evening,” Lee said about the evening.

Kressa guided us through the restaurants amazing dining experience with her knowledge and easy flow of interesting conversation. For me, the evening was a gastronomic experience from beginning to end.

I look forward to returning.

onald Patz has never been known for being a wallflower in the wine world and his Patz & Hall wines were always as bold as the man himself. But not much had been heard from this largerthan-life winemaker since he cashed out on the brand a few years ago. So when I ran into him at a wine auction last year and found out that he has been working on a few new projects, I was intrigued.

Donald Patz in the cellar. | Lou Phillips

On the Maritana brand side, even the regional Chardonnay and Pinot Noir blends had the genuine Russian River Valley style. The Pinots display dark cherry and berry notes and the signature sarsaparilla spice on the palate; the Chardonnays luscious tree fruits and winter spices — and all were lifted by bright acidity. The single vineyard offerings added more earth and complexity to the mix.

The Secret Door Cabernets were also single sourced. Although I can’t reveal the exact Napa vineyards, the wines will

from barrel or bottle, had its own distinct character and a sense of place. These are not cookie-cutter wines.

Homage to Mrs. Patz. | Courtesy Secret Door Wines

He invited me down to his new digs in Sonoma to chat and sample. I couldn’t refuse. What I found was a man getting back to his roots, creating small lots of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from top Sonoma vineyards with a brand called Maritana Vineyards. I also learned that in honor of his charming Bordeaux-loving wife, he is also crafting top-notch Napa Cabernets, again from impeccable grape sources under the Secret Door label.

Patz spoke of how wonderful it is to be back to his roots, working with growers he respects and taking a no-holdsbarred approach to sourcing grapes and making wine that is only possible with hands-on, small production. I’ve known him for decades and he has never looked younger, radiating the energy of this new wine life. And then, of course, the visit moved into the production area for some barrel-raiding.

probably be identifiable to Napa aficionados and will please any lover of quality Napa Cabernet: rich, but not overdone.

As with the Maritanas, you can sense the quality of the fruit and winemaking equally. They brought real Cabernet Cassis and dark fruits, mineral notes in line with the area of Napa they came from and surprisingly integrated tannins for young Cabernets aged in largely new oak.

Each wine we tasted, whether from barrel or bottle, had its own distinct character and a sense of place. These are not cookie-cutter wines. Patz is shooting for the stars with these wines and based on his first few vintages, I believe he is on his way. | maritanavineyards.com, secretdoorwines.com  Lou Phillips is a Level 3 Advanced Sommelier in Tahoe and his consulting business wineprowest. com assists in the selling, buying and managing wine collections.

hen I was growing up, every Wednesday was pasta day.

Wednesday was spaghetti day with the exception of once a month, when our pasta came in the form of macaroni and cheese, and my mom made the best mac and cheese in the world.

Don’t get me wrong, my mom was a great cook and I loved everything she made. Well, most everything. I will admit, however, it was a good thing for my taste buds that my family ate late as compared to the rest of the neighborhood. Quite often I would be over one of my friend’s houses and their parents would ask if it was OK if I stayed for dinner. I would “call” home for permission, keeping my finger on the button; I never actually called home. After eating at my friend’s, I would go home and eat at my house.

I know you’re thinking that’s a lot of food. But, it wasn’t really. My parents were both school teachers and I had eight brothers and sisters — one chicken doesn’t go that far.

Those two pasta dishes were the extent of my yearly pasta intake at the Smith house with two other exceptions. Whenever any of us had a birthday, we got to choose what was for dinner that night.

My little sister would always choose stuffed manicotti for her birthday and five days later, I would pick ravioli for my dinner.

These two meals were awesome. Mom would make the manicotti herself to cover my sister’s dinner and go down to an Italian store that had fresh-made-that-day ravioli for me.

Pasta has remained a main staple in my diet. During the low work times, pasta was a nice cheap meal. But even in good times, pasta is one of those meals I love on a cold winter night after skiing all day or working outside.

Stuffing shells might seem a little tedious, but the end result makes it worthwhile. For this recipe, I like to use boneless, skinless thighs because I like dark meat better. It stays moister, but breast meat will work fine. You will want to bake the chicken and cool it completely before cutting and adding it to the cheese mixture.

From the kitchen of: Chef David “Smitty” Smith

1 box jumbo shells, cooked al dente 4 to 6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs or 3 to 4 breasts 32 oz. ricotta cheese 1 lb. mozzarella cheese, ¾ diced into small pieces, ¼ sliced thin to top the shells 8 oz. fresh parmesan, grated 2 cloves garlic, finely minced 1 shallot, finely minced 2 t fresh nutmeg, grated 3 T fresh-cut basil 1 T fresh thyme 1 T poultry seasoning or fresh sage, finely cut 2 t butter Salt and pepper to taste in the cheese mixture 2½ C Marina Sauce (recipe at TheTahoeWeekly.com)

Season the chicken with the poultry seasoning, salt and pepper, and bake in the oven.

Cool completely before cutting and adding to the cheese mixture.

Cook the shells in well-salted water leaving them a little crunchy; lay out on a plate to cool.

Sweat the garlic and shallot in the butter on medium heat until the shallot softens and starts turning translucent. Toss into a big bowl. Add the cheeses, nutmeg, basil and thyme and mix well.

Use a fork to separate the chicken meat into strands of pulled meat. Cut the pulled chicken pieces into 1-inch strips and add to the cheese mixture. Season with salt, pepper and any more of the other herbs or spices. Parmesan is salty so taste and mix thoroughly.

Cover the bottom of a baking dish with 1 cup of sauce. Fill the shells and place them in the pan. Top with sauce and place slices of mozzarella on top. Bake uncovered for about 20 minutes or until hot throughout.
