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

Shoreline: 72 miles Lake Tahoe has a surface area of 191 square miles. If Lake Tahoe were emptied, it would submerge California under 15 inches of water.

DONNER LAKE

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.

TheTahoeWeekly.com Learn about the natural history of the Tahoe Sierra. Click on Nature & Environment under the Out & About menu.

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 70.9 in 2018. 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.” 

Elizabethtown Meadow Trail

Courtesy Level 1

FROM MINING CAMP TO VERDANT MEADOWS STORY AND PHOTOS BY MARK McLAUGHLIN

ew people know about the silver strike and mining boom near Lake Tahoe back in the 1860s, but for a short period of time hopes were high that it was another mother lode of wealth for lucky prospectors. In the summer of 1863, there were hundreds of claims staked out along the Truckee River near Olympic Valley, and also 5 miles east over the ridge in Tim-i-lick Valley, now called Martis Valley. Mining districts were organized, and ramshackle shantytowns were laid out in the mountain wilderness. The short-lived mining camp of Elizabethtown sprung up near Martis Creek. Speculation in mining footage sent the price of town lots up to $200 each. Later that fall, however, an assay report came back on ore specimens sent to Sacramento. The chemist stated that the rock was worthless, with no silver content — meaning the strike was a bust. And just as quickly as they had arrived, the miners dispersed to seek their fortunes elsewhere. That 1863 silver rush is memorialized today by the namesake Elizabethtown Meadows Trail, a relatively new route for hikers and mountain bikers that starts near the main entrance of Northstar California on Highway 267. There is no parking at the trailhead so turn on Northstar Drive and park in the Castle Peak Red Lot No. 1 on the right. A pathway in the southeast corner of the lot leads past the resort’s realty office to the intersection of Northstar Drive and Highway 267.

“Romance,”

the final chapter

In 1999, the old sport of skiing had just been given new life and Level 1 was conceived to document its progress into the future. With 20 years in the rearview mirror, it still stands true — new things never get old. “Romance,” the final chapter of annual films by Level 1, captures a modern-day golden age in skiing. It features a generation of talent that came of age in the best time: tweaking the formula, tweaking the grab and in it for nothing but the love.

Opening to hiking and mountain biking.

memorialized today by the namesake Elizabethtown

Elizabethtown Meadows Trail begins across the street. A small bridge allows pedestrians and cyclists to cross the creek to the trailhead that bears left on the other side. This mellow trail meanders 2.2 miles down the drainage of the Middle Fork of Martis Creek, eventually dropping in elevation through open stands of Jeffrey pine and white fir. Along the way you’ll enter the Waddle Ranch Preserve below in Martis Valley. Within minutes of starting the walk you’ll pass the verdant 50 Year Meadow, garnished with aspen trees and named in recognition of conservation efforts by Warren and Mary Brown. Water that drains this meadow and others support a robust growth of wildflowers; I observed more than 20 vibrant species alongside the trail and I’m sure there were many more. Flashy columbine, red paintbrush, flowering bitterbrush, blossoming mule ear plants and pink wild rose bushes are a few of the plants that stimulated my senses with fragrance and visuals during my visit.

I saw only one person on my hike, but the openness of the tree density gave me a glimpse of three mule deer browsing the hillside. There are alternating sections of wet and dry zones, but footbridges over the most sensitive areas protect the environment. Along the way, keep your eyes open for filtered views of Northstar’s volcanic Mount Pluto and the distant Sierra ridgeline crowned by Castle Peak near Donner Pass.

If you have the time and energy continue deeper into Martis Valley where migratory birds enjoy Martis Lake (reservoir) wetlands and predatory raptors soar overhead. The trail is relaxing, but unfortunately there are no historic remains of that 1863 silver rush. The bonanza ended abruptly and within a few days the scattered shacks were deserted — all except for near Tahoe City, that is. The fledgling settlement eventually became the gateway to the entire Tahoe Basin. A few frustrated miners gave up the search for silver and settled along the northwest shore of Lake Tahoe. Each lent their name to the geography of the region: Ward Creek is named for Ward Rush, Blackwood Creek for Hampton Craig Blackwood, McKinney Creek for John McKinney and Burton Creek for Homer D. Burton. | truckeedonnerlandtrust.org. 

The new lift is a $10 million detachable, highspeed quad chair that will transport skiers and riders from base area to the Sherwood ridge in 5 minutes. The lift will feature a midstation for quick access to some of Alpine’s best low-intermediate terrain. From the top terminal skiers and riders can drop into expert terrain on the frontside or venture into the back bowls of Sherwood, which boast the resort’s best views of Lake Tahoe. Squaw Valley will host the U.S. Freestyle Moguls National Championships from March 19 to 22, 2020. The event will bring together the best moguls skiers from around the country for a weekend of intense competition in moguls and dual moguls. Other improvements include a Tram Car Bar and new Mexican restaurant at Squaw Valley (details in Local Flavor in this edition); guided snowshoe and back-country ski tours and expanded shuttle service.

Fall into Family Fun STORY BY MICHELLE ALLEN

efore we put on costumes and collect our candy booty, the next few weeks is the perfect time to visit one of the many fall festivals and pumpkin patches in the Tahoe Sierra. One of my family’s favorite fall events is Tahoe City’s Fall Festival & Pumpkin Patch held lakeside at the beautiful Commons Beach. Featuring fun games, activities, live music, food vendors, pumpkin patch and more, the festival is small in scale but big in fun. This year’s festival is on Oct. 12 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The boys and I tried to mimic his loud call, but we were no match for his majestic gobble. As much as my family loves our hometown pumpkin patch, we also enjoy exploring other fall festivals and pumpkin patches in the area. We have been to many of them including several in the Reno/ Sparks area and in the foothills near Auburn. Every year I try to find a pumpkin patch that is new and different. This year I chose Andelin Family Farm in Sparks, Nev. The Andelin Family Farm transforms into a wonderland of fall fun with its annual harvest festival and pumpkin patch. Now in its 10th year, this festival is open Tuesdays through Saturdays through Oct. 31 and offers many fun activities for the whole family. On a recent warm, fall day, my parents Jim and Cheryl Hill took me, my son Ani-

kin and his friend Aldo Aronhalt to the festival. The boys were excited and started to take off running as soon as we were inside. To my surprise the first thing Anikin and Aldo wanted to do is look at the farm animals. Anikin loves animals, but now that he is 6, he is more interested in “bib boy” (his words) activities. We were greeted by the loud call of one large sheep

that stared at Anikin and Aldo with great intensity, waiting for them to hand over some food. We visited the chickens, but our interest was quickly drawn to a quite plump and very vocal turkey. The boys and I tried to mimic his loud call, but we were no match for his majestic gobble. We laughed hysterically at the peculiar sounds he made as he danced around fluffing up his feathers.

We tried the treasure hunt but walking around the maze proved to be too big a task for two boys who had been running around the farm for the last couple of hours. It wasn’t long before Anikin and Aldo were complaining about being hot and tired. We backtracked out of the maze and walked to the pumpkin patch to pick out pumpkins to carve. We picked out perfect jack-o-lantern pumpkins and perused the baked goods and other items for sale. Andelin Family Farm also offers zombie paint ball, a haunted maze and other nighttime attractions on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. | (775) 530-8032, andelinfamilyfarm.com Michelle Allen is a nearly 20-year resident of Tahoe and mother to a rambunctious 6-year-old and understands the challenges of keeping kids entertained.

arn Gurl strategically strikes in the most unusual of places. Her art pieces can be found on West River Street in Truckee where 35 beautiful yet haunting colorful, crocheted eyes stare out from behind a chained link fence or on the stop sign by the stables along Squaw Valley Road where a row of red hearts winds up the pole — a reminder that love is everywhere. From Grass Valley to Reno, Nev., you can find her work: a crocheted rainbow on a fence or a bike rack with a colorful sweater or hearts on a stop sign. Who is Yarn Gurl? She’s the alter ego of a local artist who wishes to remain anonymous.

and laugh at life.”

The eyes on West River Street were a gift for her former partner’s 35th birthday. She’s still processing their breakup. The random works of art need to be thought out and planned. She knows stop signs are 6 feet or 8 feet tall, but she says some of the larger pieces take more time to think through. She buys her yarn from thrift stores, garage sales and Craigslist, reusing and upcycling whenever possible, especially acrylic yarn. 10

With the 70th anniversary of Squaw Valley in 2019 and the 60th anniversary of the 1960 Olympics in 2020, Arcadia Publishing will release the anniversary edition of “Squaw Valley and Alpine Meadows: Tales from Two Valleys,” on Oct. 7. The book, written by Eddy Starr Ancinas, is a behind-the-scenes story of two of California’s famous ski resorts.

“It’s part of my persona, the more playful part that forgives myself with my art,” she explains over the phone, wanting to keep her identity a secret. “[Gurl] is the playful part of me. It’s like the maiden.” Yarn Gurl’s art is an expression of her heart and emotions. She acknowledges that the forum of public art gives her the freedom to get her ideas out and refine them. “I pass a stop sign and I think it looks cold, I thought it needed a sweater. I like to make people smile when they drive by a rainbow stop sign,” she says.

“People don’t use acrylic yarn for clothing, but it makes a good stop sign sweater,” she says. She yarn bombs (a form of removable yarn graffiti) in different places but each place she leaves her stitches is a place of personal significance. It offers her an outlet to express her grief, pain and joys in life, but also to make an impact. “My purpose is to remind people to stop and smell the roses, take notice and be more present. I want to bring joy, have people stop and laugh at life,” she says. “I like to be a little mischievous, not causing harm or permanent damage.” At Burning Man she made small crocheted hearts and small pieces and attached them to people’s bikes or art pieces on the playa as a gift from her heart. Both of her parents are artists who work with numerous mediums and she has followed suit. Her mother is a jeweler and her

I learned patience through crocheting,” she says. I asked her, “Who is Yarn Gurl?” She responded, “ I don’t know. I am redefining myself. I use art as a means to process the pain, angry stuff and heartbreak in life.” When she’s yarn bombing, she feels freedom and joy. Her mantra “dropping stitches wherever I go” is yet another playful side of this creative woman on her journey as she wears her heart on her sleeve and shares it with the world. | @YarnGurl 

The New Moon in your sign is sure to be activating you to take new leads. Deciphering your priorities is extra important now lest you succumb to scattering your focus. This has been a challenge to overcome all year. Positively, you are able to attend to a variety of fronts and meet the requirements on each of them. This month will see you push through.

Life is all about relationships and this should be especially evident to you now. An important feature of your practical focus directly includes exchanges and negotiations with significant others. Business themes are likely but so too are the most important relationships in your personal life and probably both.

What was once a dull, gray shipping container has been transformed into a work of art at the watercraft-inspection station in Meyers. The colorful and creative mural was painted by local artists and students that puts the “Clean, Drain and Dry” message front and center.

TheTahoeWeekly.com Watch a time-lapse video of the mural’s creation. Click on Arts & Culture. The container houses equipment used to decontaminate boats arriving at the station that might harbor aquatic invasive species. Tahoe Regional Planning Agency commissioned South Tahoe High School teacher and artist Matt Kauffmann to transform one of the containers into a work of art. Kauffman and several of his current and former students spent many hours over the span of four nights to complete the project. The mural is located at the boat inspection station at 2175 Keetak St. off Highway 89. | TRPA on Facebook

Cancer (Jun 21-Jul 22) Capricorn (Dec 21-Jan 19) Recognition is not the same as attention. Recognition refers to who you are and what you do and to getting fully acknowledged. It also often includes rewards or at least new opportunities. This window does not open very often and seldom as wide as it is now and over the coming weeks. So, if you feel that you want or deserve to be recognized, do what you can to make sure you get it.

Like charity, beauty begins at home. Directing your focus to home and family comes naturally to you and is extra emphasized now. Meanwhile, dealing with lingering fears about health and livelihood is an important challenge to overcome. It includes not conjuring negative scenarios with an over-active imagination. Change what you can; accept what you can’t.

Leo (Jul 22-Aug 23) Aquarius (Jan 19-Feb 19) Circumstances of light are directing your focus to see a bigger picture. This may also include time as well as larger current realities. Doing so will help to direct your creative focus along strategic lines. The inner work includes getting mentally and emotionally prepared. The outer work includes planning and organizing.

Already you are receiving a flow of fresh ideas and now the larger flood waves are coming in. Your focus is squarely on practical results. To this end, you are willing to enter a learning curve. In fact, your ability to receive and integrate new knowledge stands to be stronger over the coming weeks than any other time in the year. Capitalize.

Virgo (Aug 23-Sep 22) Pisces (Feb 19-Mar 20) Libra time is when you take a deep dive in your work. This depth equates to power but also to the need to work harder. This should also include creativity and play. The absence of these is the clue to feelings of confusion and depression. In the bigger picture, you are destined to be advancing your position in public and professional arenas.

Over the past several weeks, you have likely taken new leads and initiatives. Now, these have entered their next major phase. This is when you decide if it will actually fly or sell… Focusing to beautify is another aspect, perhaps even the most important one. In the bigger picture, this is a foundation phase so fortifying it at this time is ideal. See answers on page 9.

A dynamic social cycle for you suggests that you are getting a lot more attention of late. Hopefully, it is the kind of attention you want and linked to realities in your favor. There are indications that you are working extra hard. However, you probably can’t go any faster than you are already. Make the most of this cycle to get some extra wind in your sails.

If you have been waiting for a fresh boost of creative inspiration, I have some good news. This is a call to give birth to new expressions. Admittedly, there are strong indications that this includes breaking free or moving-on from old perspectives, methods, and styles. So, expect a shift in your approach and be patient with its development.

A busy time behind the scenes will not only continue, but it will also deepen starting this week. Your focus features questions about finances and opportunities and the risks you need to take. As confident as you feel, on one hand, the changes underway in your world may be unnerving, even for you. To break through, you probably need to take a new approach.

In the deep end, you have entered a time in your life when bringing your authority down to earth is important. This means making yourself and your gifts more available. To this end, you may need the talents, expertise, and authority of others. In the forefront, lifestyle changes are underway. Connecting the dots, adapt your weekly rhythm to nurture your network.

Course Details

Sierra Sage Golf Course is an off-thebeaten-path facility with both a classic playing field and vintage design. It’s a scorable track — nothing overly long or complicated, though there are plenty of irresistible risk/reward opportunities. In 1960, the U.S. Air Force built a nine-hole golf course for military personal stationed at Stead Air Force Base, north of Reno. It was originally named the Stead Golf Course. In 1966, Washoe County purchased the course and completed the construction of the back nine by 1970, renaming the course Sierra Sage. It’s a par 71, playing just more than 6,500 yards from the back tees with several different tee options to choose from. It’s a perfect destination to bring the whole family. The fairways are accessible and roomy, though they’re surrounded by a twisted native high-desert landscape, which usually makes for a trick-shot punch-out back into play should you become entangled in its grasp. The greens are smallish, quick, sometimes hard to stick, but the greenside traps are receptive, and the surrounding rough is forgiving. Multiple tiers on and around the putting surfaces create steep

putts that can break several times; strong wedge play and putting is invaluable out here. Our round was filled with unique golf shots from start to finish — flop-outs from funky-shaped bunkers in all the wrong places, consistent changes in elevation, from tee to green and several stubborn water hazards all seemed to stand out and catch you the second you let your guard down. If you prefer to ride a board instead of a cart, Sierra Sage is one of the only courses in the area to have Golf Boards available for rent. Golf Boards are board/ cart hybrid vehicles combining snowboarding and golf. Onsite the practice facility is top notch and extensive, with an all-grass driving range, two large putting greens and two short-hole chipping areas — great for calibrating wedges.

SIERRA STORIES BY MARK McLAUGHLIN

Ca lifornia Bound | T h e G r i g s b y - I d e P a r t y, P a r t I I John C. Frémont. | Courtesy Sutter Fort Archives

hen it comes to America’s western emigration movements in the mid-19th Century, historians and authors have understandably focused on two iconic wagon trains. Captain Elisha Stephens’ small group of 50 pioneers in 1844 were the first to haul covered wagons over the Sierra Nevada and open the long-sought California Trail. And of course, many are familiar with the Donner Party tragedy of 1846-47 when 36 of 81 people perished from starvation or hypothermia. But arguably it is the lesser known members of the California-bound emigration of 1845 that had the most significant historical impact on events that ultimately led to war between the United States and Mexico the following year. The arrival of 260 unwelcome Americans in Alta California in late 1845 alarmed Mexican military officers, as well as the land- and cattle-rich Californios of Spanish descent who had control over the vast territory. (Author’s note: These wagon trains from the United States during the mid-1840s were entering Mexico-owned California illegally since it was a foreign country and they had no official permission from that nation’s federal government.) The main emigrant company that rolled into California in late 1845 was known as the Grigsby-Ide Party, named for John Grigsby and William B. Ide. Captain Grigsby led a contingent of 40 wagons, comprised primarily of families that included 59 children. The party’s initial destination was the verdant Willamette Valley in the Oregon Country. At Fort Hall, Idaho, Grigsby’s company met up with Ide’s group of 60 wagons, also bound for Oregon. In short order, however, they were convinced by smooth-talking Caleb Greenwood, an 82-year-old mountain man, to head for California instead. Greenwood promised that he would lead them there for a modest fee per family. True to his word, the Grigsby-Ide wagons reached Sutter’s Fort in Sacramento on Oct. 25, 1845. On their arrival, they received news that Mexican Gen. Jose Castro had ordered all

interlopers from the United States to leave California within 40 days. But the recently arrived pioneers were too burnt out to go anywhere. Their oxen were worn and exhausted and they had no money or supplies. The Grigsby and Ide families, as well as the rest of the intruding Americans, scattered into the northern California countryside; some started for Oregon the following spring. Grigsby settled in Napa Valley where he obtained land from George C. Yount. Yount had emigrated to California in 1831 and later settled in Sonoma in 1834 where he was baptized a Catholic and became a naturalized Mexican citizen. An accomplished carpenter, Yount had contracted to work on Gen. Mariano G. Vallejo’s large family home in Sonoma and a friendship developed between the two men. Appreciative of his efforts, the Mexican general granted Grigsby 12,000 acres in the Napa and Sonoma valleys. Grigsby was fortunate to find himself a California landowner so quickly — all due to Yount’s generosity. Ide was not so lucky. While still resting at Sutter’s Fort, he was met by Peter Lassen, a Danish immigrant and blacksmith by trade. When Lassen heard that Ide had brought a circular wood saw and some mill-irons, he offered him a job building a sawmill on Lassen’s ranch, about 125 miles to the north. Lassen told Ide to take his family there and move into a vacant house on the property. Two weeks later, however, Lassen showed up with another family and demanded possession of the house. A fuming William Ide gathered his wife, children and livestock and headed toward the Sacramento River. In about 7 miles the Ide clan reached a ranch where another emigrant family was camped. It was November and the rainy season had begun so Ide built a small log cabin and his 10-member family wintered there. HISTORIAN & AUTHOR

MARK MCL AUGHLIN’S NEWEST BOOK - UPDATED EDITION

When spring of 1846 arrived, tensions between a frustrated Mexican government and the squatting foreigners without passports was at fever pitch. Gen. Castro had orders from his president and commanding general, Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna in Mexico City, to drive the trespassers out of the country — by force if necessary. For a quarter century California had been neglected by the Mexican

On their arrival they got news that Mexican Gen. Jose Castro had ordered all interlopers from the United States to leave California within 40 days. But the recently arrived pioneers were too burnt out to go anywhere. government, ever since the country gained its independence from Spain. Without a strong presence of Mexican authority, the province was controlled by shifting alliances between powerful aristocratic families that were California-born, but of Spanish blood. Their wealth was derived from their vast cattle ranches. Gen. Vallejo, for example, had a private estate of more than 175,000 acres. And although Santa Anna had ordered his military to expel the undocumented foreigners, the powerful California families were divided over the future of their land. The political intrigue was complicated. On the eve of the Mexican-American War, there were threats and disputes regarding the administration and territorial status of California between the United States, Russia, Mexico, Great Britain and France. Aware that Mexico’s grasp was weakening and that a new political force was inevitable, California’s provincial governor Pio Pico favored ceding to the British, who had proposed settling hundreds of Irish Catholic families in the San Joaquin Valley. Pico reasoned that at least the Irish and Mexicans shared the same religion, unlike the Protestant-dominated, anti-Catholic Americans. Other influential players such

as Gen. Vallejo who was weary of imperious monarchies, preferred being absorbed by the United States. Anticipating conflict, U.S. President James K. Polk had deployed American naval forces to the California coast in Monterey Bay (the provincial capital) and in San Francisco Bay. Added to the mix was topographical engineer and U.S. Army officer John C. Frémont who had returned to California in 1845 via Truckee (Donner) Pass, with a small force of armed mountain men under his command. (Frémont had led an expedition west in 1843 and crossed the Sierra Nevada in February 1844, when he became the first Euro-American to see Lake Tahoe.) Justifiably, Mexican officials ordered Frémont and his company to leave the country. Instead, the obstinate Pathfinder built fortifications and raised the American flag on Gavilan Peak, 11 miles northeast of present-day Salinas. After three days, Frémont abandoned the site and marched for the Oregon border where he was overtaken by courier Lt. Archibald H. Gillespie. Marine Corps. officer Lt. Gillespie had special directives from Secretary of State James Buchanan and letters for Frémont from his father-in-law, Missouri Senator Thomas Hart Benton. Historians have speculated that Gillespie also carried secret orders for Frémont from President Polk regarding potential military action against Mexico.

hat does artist extraordinaire Luz Elena Mendoza do with her first two days off during Y La Bamba’s September tour of Portugal and Spain? “I’m resting, thinking about how I can dismantle this bullshit patriarchy by myself,” she says. “We need to deconstruct and rewire the whole f***ing entire society.” Earlier this year, Mendoza released Y La Bamba’s fifth album in less than a decade; it’s aptly entitled “Mujeres,” Spanish for women. “It’s something that’s been in my psyche and heart since the day I was born,” she says. “I’m coming to terms with being a woman. Especially as a queer woman of color, we start shaming ourselves for things we don’t have to.”

Now in her 30s, Mendoza possesses the tools and confidence to fearlessly confront the prejudice and harassment she and other women have faced since the dawn of humankind. “A lot of this record is about protecting my mom,” she says. “Of course I’m f***ing angry. I take this feeling and make art out of it. It has to do with integrity, intensity and trying to move this shit forward. People need to be mindful. They need to understand what they are saying. The responsibility for men is to listen to women. Some may say I’m intense or fiery, but it needs to be said. It needs to be done.” Y La Bamba will perform on Oct. 5 at Holland Project as part of the fifth annual Offbeat Music Festival, which occurs over the course of three days at 11 different venues throughout midtown Reno. “I think that a lot of bands have not only females but are female-led, as well as several all-female bands,” says co-founder and festival director Flip Wright. “We certainly want there to be diversity in what we do.” 28

A GENDER IMBALANCE According to #bookmorewomen, an organization committed to addressing the gender inequality that plagues the industry, two out of three bands at every major American music festival are completely male. Of the 80 acts booked for Offbeat 2019, 37 have at least one female member. That equals 46 percent. While that’s better than the national average, it’s still an eyeopening statistic for any festival that prides itself on inclusivity and a commitment to the discovery of under-the-radar independent artists. “There is not a huge community of female artists to connect with about being in a band as a female,” says Ashley Costelloe, lead singer of Reno alternative group Pink Awful. “The real thing is we haven’t made that much progress in treating females equally and gaining the power we deserve and actually own. It’s difficult to get your message across when you’re not being taken seriously. Everyone is looking at what she looks like and not who she is as an artist.” Some groups such as Los Angeles indie rockers Blushh are lucky enough to find a strong support in a musical community that regularly puts on all-female showcases. “It feels like you’re all in it together,” says frontwoman Shab Ferdowsi. “Being a woman on stage doing your thing to a crowd of people and doing it really well, it means that I’m going to keep doing my thing regardless of what’s being done or said otherwise.”

Along with Reno soft-punks Stirr Lightly and the harmonious hippies Rainbows Girls, Candace is one of three all-female groups performing at Offbeat this year. “There’s an unspoken understanding between women that happens in all aspects of life,” says bassist Sarah Rose of the shoegaze country trio from Portland. “It’s something we think about because we are women playing music, but that sort of feels like a side note. We’re just people playing music first.” Ironically, too much focus on gender can actually hinder the progress toward gender equality in the world of music and art, says singer Allie Hanlon of Peach Kelli Pop. “Sometimes in the dialogue around being a woman in music, there is more attention on that than on the art I make,” says Hanlon. “I’m just trying to take a step back and make the best art I can, hoping they’re looking at it without the filter of me being a woman.” As any female artist knows, they regularly have to work harder and acquire more resiliency than their male counterparts in order to survive and thrive. “All of us have become empowered woman because we know what it’s like to struggle,” says Oregonian folk singer Margo Cilker. “If you want good art, then have a system to include more voices rather than the millennia of males voices we’ve heard for time immemorial. I’d be bored off my ass if I went to that festival that didn’t book any women. We’re not doing enough.” | offbeatreno.com 

he plants are whispering and Gina Woods can hear them speak. Plants heal us, nourish us and support us. They can be made into tea, salves and medicines and served at meals. And when we surround ourselves with them, studies show they improve our mood, enhance productivity, concentration and creativity. Plants absorb toxins in the air and produce oxygen.

of the land. … Our landscape is harsh but forgiving. We have gooseberries, currents, chokecherries, wild chestnuts and manzanita berries all around us.” –Gina Woods Woods, an herbalist, forager and owner of Woods Apothecary in South Lake Tahoe, offers classes in bio-regional medicine, takes people on field medicine walks, teaches about permaculture and mushroom foraging, and helps people to trust their connection with nature. I first heard about Woods while on a Forest Bathing hike with Felix Brosch. He made tea for our hike with plants he and Woods had foraged.

Woods grew up in both Italy and California. “I remember going out with my grandmother into the Italian countryside gathering berries, plants and herbs for meals and teas,” she said. It was these roots that solidified her love for plants and the natural world. While following the Grateful Dead Band around the country, Woods came across a newspaper ad for a herbalist school. She was interested 32

in the healing arts and alternative health. She attended massage school and California School of Herbal Studies. It was during this time she studied with iconic herbalists, James Green and Rosemary Gladwell. “I got to meet the elders of herbalism. I did a work exchange and lived on campus and worked the land for six years,” she said. She then moved to Maui and lived on an ashram where she taught yoga, meditation and how to incorporate plants and herbs into people’s lives. “Plants talk to me,” explained Woods. “It’s one of the ways I connect with a place. I look to the plants. I develop a relationship with the plants and the place.” Woods came to Tahoe for a botanical field trip and moved to South Lake Tahoe soon after. “We live in a food forest. It’s all around us. We have to be stewards of the land. In South Lake Tahoe near Cold Creek, there are many plants that grow in our harsh environment. Our landscape is harsh but forgiving. We have gooseberries, currents, chokecherries, wild chestnuts and manzanita berries all around us, “ she said. “You can make cider from the berries. You can make tea and syrup from the fir tips. Rose hips are plentiful and make great syrup and jams. Both are high in Vitamin C. Plants have antioxidants and minerals.” It’s important to have a guide to teach how to identify plants that are edible and those that are not. Woods helps people with a tactile experience of plants utilizing all of the senses while on her botanical forays into the forest. “Every microclimate in Tahoe has different species. Where we live is a virtual medicine chest. We have everything we need. Plants have innate wisdom,” she said. I mentioned the mullein growing in my yard. Woods said that maybe I needed lung support and the young leaves were good for tea to help the respiratory system. Woods will offer a mushroom foraging class at the end of October — depending on when the rains occur — as well as classes in medicine making and kitchen herbals.

“I let the plants lead. They lead individuals on their path to connecting to the plants,” said Woods, who also makes soup blends, medicines, tinctures and formulas. When we step out into nature and breathe in the air, we become one with the plants and the natural world around us. They are life giving and sustain us.

The freshness of

VINHO VERDES

STORY & PHOTOS BY LOU PHILLIPS

inho Verde is both the name of a region and a wine, but not the name of a grape. The region part is simple — Portugal’s Vinho Verde region is green, rolling hills on the northwest coast. As a wine name there is more to the story. The word verde means green, but descriptively is used to communicate the youth and freshness of the wines. The freshness comes from the vibrant grapes, winemaking style and the fact that they are released early: typically within 90 days of harvest.

After all is said and done, the majority are of the cleaner style and I say, “Hooray.” I find pét-nats from anywhere to be wildly inconsistent and frequently flawed. The whole reason is to refresh the body and spirit and accompany food. Vinho Verdes are perfect for sea fare and magic with salads, as well. On a hot, sultry day, a well-chilled bottle is a magic elixir.

Vinho Verdes always have bright citrus and spice and

smoky notes.

Vibrant wines, vibrant labels.

Vinho Verdes can be white, red or rosé, which brings us to the topic of grape varieties. Since most of the wines exported are white, let’s focus on those. The dominant grape is Alvarinho with Loureiro being its most popular dance partner; while overall there are about 20 grapes allowed for white and the same for reds. Those are the two to know.

Spain produces significant amounts of its own version of Vino Verde (Spanish spelling) in the region of Galicia in the northwest corner. This is also the home of the sub-region Rias Baixas famous for Albariño still-wines. As in Portugal, this grape is the backbone of the majority of Spanish Vino Verde-style wines. These can be slightly riper than their Portuguese cousins, but they generally marry with the same foods and moments. Cheers. 

Vinho Verde’s seafood friends.

So what awaits you in the bottle? First of all, you are going to feel prickly fizz called frizzante. For many years this was the result of allowing a slight, second fermentation in the bottle. This process also resulted in the wines having some visually funky stuff in them, so producers used opaque or dark bottles because the look was unpalatable to consumers. Vinho Verde makers then decided to fully ferment the wines in barrel or tank and just add that touch of CO2 to the finished wine. Interestingly, in the past decade many Vinho Verdes are made the oldfashioned way and placed in light bottles because this pétillant-naturel style has fans and the floaties are welcome. As for flavors, there is always bright citrus and spice and many times a touch of salinity. More complex versions bring stone-fruit flavors and even smoky notes; Vinho Verde is always light in body with zippy acid.

ou could be wondering: “Why is Smitty giving us such a simple recipe as grilled tomato and cheese?” After all, besides Kraft macaroni and cheese, grilled cheese is one of those delicacies almost everyone older than a third grader — and probably several younger — has made on quite a few occasions. I mean, really, is there a single person reading this article who has never made a grilled cheese and tomato sandwich?

Making the perfect grilled tomato and cheese sandwich is often a lesson in frustration. When it comes to sandwiches, a grilled cheese alone or with any other filling such as tomato or ham is hard to beat. And, it is an easy sandwich to make. But for every grilled cheese and tomato sandwich made — where the tomato is hot, the cheese fully melted and the bread grilled to a golden brown — there are probably at least four or five that have been burnt trying to get the cheese in the middle melted and the tomato at least a little warm. Come on, admit it, making the perfect grilled tomato and cheese sandwich is often a lesson in frustration because in order to get the cheese in the middle to fully melt, the bread will quite often end up a little on the dark side. Of course, there is one simple thing you can do to up the odds into your favor of turning out the perfect grilled cheese sandwich. It is something that I do when cooking any meat in a sauté pan or many other things I might be afraid of burning or overcooking.

All you have to do is cook it to a golden brown on the first side and then turn it over; instead of finishing it on the burner on top of the stove, toss it in the oven. By the time the second side is golden brown, the cheese is melted all the way through and whatever else is in the sandwich also is hot. Another thing that happens when you finish the sandwich in the oven is that the butter will brown and as I’ve said in the past, that is one of the best flavors in the world. I also want to add that this plain and easy sandwich can be varied to suit your taste buds in a million different ways. For example, you can vary the type of cheese you use or a combination of cheeses. You can add various fillings such as ham or tomatoes or both. Or, think about an appetizers you see in a lot of restaurants: tomato and mozzarella with fresh basil. The variations are endless. Try a variation of a grilled tomato and cheese sandwich for lunch and enjoy. 
