Carson City Library hosts unique presentation by violin maker Becky Crowe to present 'Making a Cello' on July 11 CARSON CITY Becky Crowe, a member of the Carson City Symphony's cello section, will present a lecture called "The Making of a Cello" on Thursday, July 11 at 6 p.m. at the Carson City Library Auditorium. After studying for a year making violins with luthier Paul Schuback in Portland, Ore., she built a double bass and three cellos, including the one she plays in the Carson City Symphony. She is currently working on
a smaller cello that she plans to donate to the Symphony's youth program, Strings in the
Schools. The event is free and open to the public.
'Our Town' like you've never seen it RENO In an important publishing event is brought ot life by the Reno Little Theater in July. Samuel French, in cooperation with the Thornton Wilder estate recently released the playwright’s definitive version of "Our Town." This edition of the play differs only slightly from previous acting editions, yet it presents "Our Town" as Thornton Wilder wished it to be performed. Described by Edward Albee as “…the greatest American play ever written,” the story follows the small town of Grover’s Cor-
ners through three acts: “Daily Life,” “Love and Marriage,” and “Death and Eternity.” Narrated by a stage manager and performed with minimal props and sets, audiences follow the Webb and Gibbs families as their children fall in love, marry, and eventually—in one of the most famous scenes in American theatre—die. Thornton Wilder’s final word on how he wanted his play performed is an invaluable addition to the American stage and to the libraries of theatre lovers internationally.
Performances are July 12, 13, 17, 18, 19, 20, 24, 25, 26 and 27 at 7:30 p.m.; with matinees on July 14, 21 and 28 at 2 p.m. The Reno Little Theater is located at 147 E. Pueblo St., Reno. Individual tickets may be purchased at the box office an hour before a show; or by mail with check: RLT, P.O. Box 7071, Reno, NV 89510; or by phone with credit/debit card: 775-8138900. Tickets are $15 per adult; $12 for students and seniors. For more information visit them online at www.renolittletheater.org, or call (775) 329-0661.

COVER STORY
101 Years of Rodeo Silver State Stampede begins its next century
T
By Jolyn Young, INN
he oldest rodeo in Nevada will take place in Elko this July 11-13.
Locals and out-of-towners will compete for buckles and prize money in seven Professional Rodeo Cowboys’ Association (PRCA) sanctioned events, as well as two local events. John Michael Montgomery will kick off the rodeo with a concert on Thursday night. Mutton busting will kick off the action each night at 6 p.m., followed by the PRCA performance at 7 p.m. A trade show will be held throughout the rodeo, and the Jeff Palmer band will play live music for a dance
by the Cowboy Bar following each performance. Professional cowboys and cowgirls will compete in the bareback riding, saddle bronc riding, bull riding, team roping, tie-down roping, steer wrestling, and barrel racing events. Both working cowboys and professionals can compete in the popular Old West Bronc Riding contest, now in its 11th year. The event is sanctioned by the Western States Ranch Rodeo Association (WSRRA), giving the riders a chance to qualify for the WSRRA Finals in Winnemucca this fall. This year’s contest has changed from two go-rounds to one long go-round split over two

In addition, prizes include a handmade bedroll quilt by Timmy Lyn DeLong, handmade custom boots by Kelly Martin, Garcia spurs, and a trophy buckle. Last year’s winner was Tuscarora’s Cowboy Rodriguez. Victor Madrigal placed second, and Malachi McLain took third. Call Ralph Chiquete with questions at (775) 397-2275 or (775) 777-3293. Visit www.silverstatestampede. com for entry forms. The rodeo’s other local event, 6 | Inside Northern Nevada | JULY 2013
the Ring of Fear, will once again feature amateur bullfighters squaring off against a fighting bull. The last contestant to leave his or her designated circle once the bull is turned into the arena will walk (or limp) away $500 richer. Last year, Nathan Morgan won Friday’s event and Jordan Brough received $250 for leaving his ring and forfeiting his chance of winning to help his friend who was taken down by the bull. Severin Richey won Saturday’s event. Whether competing or spectating, rodeo attendees will enjoy
top-notch performances by the bucking stock. The late Red “Bud” Kerby, past owner of the Stampede’s regular stock contracting company Bar T Rodeo Company, will be inducted into the ProRodeo Hall of Fame this year. Kerby is second-generation Hall of Fame inductee; his father Swanny was inducted as a stock contractor as well in 1997. Based out of Utah, Bar T Rodeo Company has been a family operation for over 50 years. Kerby’s daughter Wendie and son-in-law Jeff Flitton now have the company www.insidenorthernnevada.com

“It’s the broncs and the blood; it’s the steers and the mud, and they call the thing rodeo.”
— Garth Brooks
McDermitt marks century of competition with July 4-5 Ranch Rodeo
R
McDERMITT odeo has been almost endemic to McDermitt for the last 100 years.
The small border town whose initial economy was based on sheep and cattle ranching always harbored a zest for celebration and a high spirited good time; bronc riding and horse racing along with a few spirits and the Fourth of July provided the meld that brought respite from labors. The unpaved main street became the arena where the events began. Broncs were brought in from local ranches and snubbed to cars. The cowboy who mounted had no vision of his destination, bringing excitement when his mount ended up amongst the spectators, or in someone’s yard. In 1949 a group of businessmen concurred that an official rodeo was in order. As a result of their concerted efforts official rodeo grounds were erected near the current location of the Diamond A Motel — complete with a grandstand transported from Paradise Valley. A herd of wild horses was gathered for bucking stock and the games were on. During the ensuing decade a plethora of titillating Wild-West episodes created legends for the small town. In the late 1950’s the rodeo grounds was moved across the state line to its present site in Oregon. For many years the event enjoyed a continued interest and attendance, with riding events filled to capacity, and 90 to 100 teams in the team roping. Of course, there was horse racing—always a quarter mile race and a stick race (baton relay), and often a brush race which originated north of the rodeo grounds in sagebrush country and ended in front of the grandstand. Street events featuring events for children and adults replaced earlier activities on the then-paved main street. Footraces spanned generations, and the Tug of War was

a highly contested event. Sack races, egg and balloon tosses, and a myriad of similar events have provided entertainment throughout the years. Street dances have extended well into the early morning, and many a fray has arisen as the celebration wore on. In 1983 the Western Horseman Magazine characterized the Twin States Stampede as “colorful and authentic”. Authentic it was. Cowboys riding horses into bars, fights reminiscent of western films, but the years
brought change. The Fourth of July became the date of many events in the surrounding area. The Twin States Stampede became the McDermitt Ranch Hand Rodeo in 1989. The Ranch rodeo typically hosts 16-21 teams. Street events continue to entertain young and old following the first performance of the rodeo. Horse racing has been absent for a few years, but is to be reinstated as we celebrate the 100th anniversary of the McDermitt Rodeo on July 4, 2013. The legacy lives on.

SHADES OF BLACK
Fallon Gallery shows pen and ink works through July
T
he Rising Sun Gallery and Art Studios on Maine Street in Fallon will feature the works of pen and ink artist Tom Goodson during the month of July, beginning on Monday, July 8.
Being semi-retired, Tom says he now has some time to bring out the artists tools and do what he thoroughly enjoys. He has dabbled in different mediums...i.e. oils, acrylics, charcoal, pencil and pen & ink since the age of 15; he has found that pen & ink can be most unforgiving in the areas of pen stroke mistakes or composition, but visually the finished product can be most pleasing. Black and White pictures, as in the cinema, can easily portray moods or nuances that colour sometimes fails to depict fully. Tom states that he usually draws to relax and chooses subjects that interest him at the moment. He shies away from portraits as he prefers not to rely on 'perfect' renditions. A lot of his time was spent 'doodling' but his wife encouraged him to be a little more creative and expand the size and subject matter of his art. The selected pieces being displayed have taken many enjoyable hours to complete and he hopes the public will find them as appealing as he enjoyed drawing them. Other local artists will also have works on display throughout the month of July. The Gallery is open Monday through Saturday from 11 a.m. – 7 p.m. For further information on this or other events or art classes, call Patricia at 775-294-4135 or at facebook.com/risingsunartgallery.

SPARKS
By Mary Jean Kelso, Special to INN Tricia and Rusty Hyde like growing herbs. In fact, they like it so well they produce between 60 to 80 varieties of herbs at their Dayton home. “It began as a challenge from a friend,” Tricia Hyde of Hyde’s Herbs said. “Mike Van Camp of Campie’s Lavender Patch said if we didn’t do it — he would.” So, a friendly dare led to a new career and the couple watching their small business grow. When the Hydes retired they were looking for something to do to stay busy. And they found it! Now, they are occupied 24/7 with studying the plants, growing herbs and attending outdoor markets throughout the area at least four days a week. Thursday evenings from 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm (except July 4th) they join a long list of other growers and crafters at Skyridge Outdoor Market in Fernley. Sponsored by Brigitte Schoofs, owner of Grate Thyme Kitchen, the market is held at 150 E. Main Street (Skyridge Plaza). Along with food vendors and crafters there is usually musical entertainment each Thursday. Throughout July, fine art, with works from 20+

ART SCENE
Elko County Art Club to host annual Art in the Park ELKO By Carol Petrie, Special to INN
I
t's a beautiful blend of art, music and fun!
If you’re looking for artistic inspiration, or just the opportunity to spend the day with family and friends enjoying the beautiful summer weather, the Elko County Art Club’s 29th Annual Art in the Park event is the place to be. The event will be held at the Main Elko City Park from 9 a.m.5 p.m. on Saturday, July 13, and from 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. on Sunday, July 14. According to event coordinator Brandy Miller, the show will feature handmade items by local
artists and crafters from six states, as well as numerous food vendors and a variety of entertainment. Visitors will also have the unique opportunity to watch local artists at work as they participate in the “quick draw” event and other artistic demonstrations. Miller added that younger attendees also have a variety of activities to participate in including the always-favorite train rides and the newly added pony rides. One of the busiest booths during this annual event is the Jar Raffle booth. Vendors of the annual event are given an opportunity to donate an item for the two-day event’s famous jar raffle. “Jars are placed in front of
each donated raffle item, so raffle participants can place their tickets in the jars of the items they hope to win. Those wishing to participate in the raffle may purchase tickets throughout the event at the Jar Raffle booth for $1 each, or $5 for 6,” said Miller, adding, “This is our group’s main fundraising event for the year.” “Monies raised during the jar raffle along with some of the event proceeds go towards funding 3, $1,000 scholarships for Elko County High School senior art students, the group’s art gallery and club, and bringing in outside artists for art classes,” she said. So if you’re looking for some creative inspiration, or an opportunity to add to your collection of artwork, the 29th Annual Art in the Park may be just the perfect summer time event for you. For more information on the event, contact Miller at (775) 778-0904, (775) 388-0367, or (775) 388-2764. 12 | Inside Northern Nevada | JULY 2013

is sound is instantly recognizable — and thanks to a nearly half century career, his face is, too.
Motor City Madman Ted Nugent has been rocking stadium crowds since the late 1960s when he and the Amboy Dukes had a hit with "Journey to the Center of the Mind." After that, the guitar hero went solo, honed his distinctive style and began belting out rock anthems like "Cat Scratch Fever" and "Great White Buffalo." He's made waves on the political scene as well — with his pro-gun, pro-hunting stance gaining praise from some, scorn from others. Now northern Nevada audiences get a chance to enjoy Nugent on stage at the Wendover Concert Hall on Friday, July 12. Tickets start at just $15.

UNR opens trove of oral history transcripts on web RENO, Nev. (AP) — The 1897 heavyweight title fight between champion James Corbett and challenger Bob Fitzsimmons in Carson City has been well documented in the history books of Nevada. But did you know that Fitzsimmons, while training for the fight, attended church services at Nevada State Prison? Lucy Davis Crowell knew that. In fact, she and Fitzsimmons "sang out of the same hymn book
more than once." "He was very cordial and genial and happy-golucky, and everybody liked him," Crowell said in an interview in 1965. "He was very friendly, and he thoroughly enjoyed coming in there and holding service with us." Crowell's recollections of that interaction with Fitzsimmons— and her memories of Carson City at the turn of the 20th century —are part of a treasure trove of Nevada history in the collection

of the University of Nevada Oral History Program, according to the Reno Gazette-Journal. From the World War II recollections of soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines who were on the front lines of the action, to the early days of Nevada's gaming industry, to civil rights, ranching life, immigration and the words of state government leaders, the Oral History program has spent nearly 50 years documenting the voices of hundreds of Nevadans. And now, thanks to a five-year effort between the Oral History Program and the university's special collections department, those words are only a mouse click away. The transcripts of 577 interviews are online in a searchable database format, and more are to come by the end of the month. "We're finishing up a lot of unfinished projects," said Alicia Barber, director of the Oral History Program. "By the end of June, we're hoping it comes up to 770 interviews. The breadth is huge, and I think people are going to be amazed at what they can find." The Oral History Program has long been a valuable resource in the community. It was started in 1964 by the Desert Research Institute and its Center for North American Studies. Longtime interviewer Mary Ellen Glass worked there and focused on early state figures and community history. The program eventually moved to the University of Nevada, Reno and continued to grow under directors Tom King and Mary Larson. A number of the oral histories —such as autobiographies of former Lt. Gov. Sue Wagner and the late Reno Gazette-Journal columnist Rollan Melton, the history of Harolds Club and others—have been converted into book form and sold by the department. But it's probably fair to say the program is little known outside of academia and seasoned history researchers. Getting the information online opens the program to everyone, Barber said. "When I became director of the program in 2009, my top priority was creating some kind of online access to the transcripts," she said. "That was the year when the program lost all its state funding, so we really weren't sure how much time we would have to work on the program. Much of our priority was to make the transcripts as open as possible to as many people as possible." The effort led to Oral History teaming with an equally unsung treasure trove of Nevada history—the Special Collections Department inside the university's library. Special Collections has spent the past several years moving its content online for the public. The merging of the two efforts seemed a natural fit. "The whole structure has been created by the Special Collections Department," Barber said. In addition, all the tapes, documents, photographs and other items once housed in Oral History have been transferred to Special Collections and are available for reviews and research purposes at the library. "By the late '70s, they were saving the full audio of all the interviews," Barber said. "We have 3,600 hours of audio in the collection as well." The program is in the process of digitizing the audio files, converting them from reel-to-reel and cassette tapes, which have a tendency to break. "Having access to all of these transcripts online is really going to benefit everyone," Barber said. "From students _ younger students and older students _ to the general public, to professional researchers, to everyone. We have so many different ways to search the collection, people who have any kind of interest can find a way to search and get into these incredible collections." www.insidenorthernnevada.com
Elko Basque Club hosts 50th annual National Basque Festival ELKO

Elko residents as well as visitors from throughout the United States and the World, descend upon the Northeastern Nevada town of Elko the first weekend in July for the much-anticipated National Basque Festival. This annual event began 50 years ago when the Elko Basque organization, the Elko Euzkaldunak Club, decided to organize a grand scale Basque festival and invite all of the existing Basque clubs to participate. Basque dancers, athletes, and musicians came to Elko for the event, and because of the geographical centrality of Elko to other Basque communities, and the success of the activities, Elko assumed the position of the site of the annual National Basque Festival. The festival is a celebration of traditional Basque culture and includes a parade, handball, strongman competitions, traditional food and wine, music, and Basque Dancing.

WINE & SPIRITS TASTING NOTES
Flavors of Sauvignon Blanc range from pungent to grassy The
several from Graves, that we enjoyed recently:
WINE GUYS
Chateau de Sours La Source Bordeaux Blanc 2010 ($35). This gem
Tom Marquardt and Patrick Darr
White wine finds a foothold among sweeter varietals Sauvignon blanc has had its struggles against emerging favorites like pinot gris and the venerable chardonnay. With flavors ranging in style from pungent to grassy, it suffers an identity crisis. But made well it offers refreshing flavors that serve as a great foil to many foods. Although Bordeaux is not an area of France we normally associate with sauvignon blanc, we have rediscovered some of the great wines from this region that use semillon in a blend. Bordeaux is known best for its red wines, but the white wines from Graves - the only appellation to offer red and white wine - are vastly underrated and often ignored. The French didn’t help the region’s reputation when in 1987 it split the district - one of the oldest in France into two sections. The northern end, 24 | Inside Northern Nevada | JULY 2013
was a reminder that sauvignon blanc from Old World regions are every bit as good as those from the New World. We loved the intensity and structure of this wine from the Pessac-Leognan area, perhaps because it is blended with 34 percent semillon from 50-year-old vines. Citrus notes, good acidity and pineapple. located close to the city of Bordeaux, was called Pessac-Leognan. Everything else is Graves. Pessac-Leognan, the appellation for first-growth Haut-Brion, is considered more prestigious. Although Graves is one of the oldest appellations in the world, other sauvignon blanc regions captured the attention of consumers long ago. Today, the grape variety has been more commonly associated with New Zealand, Chile, Sancerre, Pouilly-Fume and California. Sauvignon blanc’s strength is its aromatics: herbs, grass, green fruit. When the grapes aren’t able to ripen, the wine can be overly herbaceous. It is important for consumers to identify what style they like because not everyone is going to like the aggressive grassiness of New Zealand sauvignon blanc or the creaminess of many California sauvignon blancs. Here are several sauvignon blancs and sauvignon blanc blends, including
Chateau Fage Graves de Vayres 2012 ($12). The wine is mostly semillon, but there is a bit of sauvignon blanc and muscadelle thrown in. The wine comes from the EntreDeux-Mers sub-region just outside of the village of St. Emilion. Lots of citrus and mineral flavors, it is another great value.
Chateau Trebiac Graves Blanc 2011 ($11). OK, this is made mostly from semillon grown in the broad Graves region, but we had to throw it in because of its great value. We just loved the freshness and mineral notes of this delicious spring wine. Citrus, pear and gooseberry flavors make it irresistible for this price.
Robert Mondavi Fume Blanc 2011 ($20). The namesake for this pioneering winery died in 2008, but his legacy lives on. The winery is celebrating what would have been his 100th birthday this year. Mondavi, who lived to be 94, established his winery in Napa
Valley in 1966 and quickly became an icon in the California wine industry. This sauvignon blanc, blended with a bit of semillon, is one of our favorites of the portfolio. Citrus and melon flavors abound and the wine shows off a generous soft mouthfeel.
CADE Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2012 ($35). We loved the complexity and rich texture of this wine. Blended with some sauvignon blanc, semillon and viognier, it has good body and copious lemon and pineapple flavors with assertive aromas of peach and flowers. Beautiful wine, albeit a very expensive one.
Charles Krug Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2012 ($15). Generous varietal flavors please the palate in this wonderful wine from St. Helena. Fresh acidity, grapefruit and citrus notes highlight a pleasant, reasonably priced wine.
Geyser Peak California Sauvignon Blanc 2012 ($11). This is a good value for a wine to usher in the summer. Good acidity matches the bright lemon fruit and melon flavors.
Line 39 Lake County Sauvignon Blanc 2012 ($10). Simple but tasty varietal flavors. Grapefruit, citrus and a dash of fresh-mowed grass.
Rodney Strong Charlotte’s Home Estate Sauvignon Blanc 2012 ($17). Medium bodied, this tasty treat is a great foil for summer heat. Refreshing acidity, decent complexity for make it a good match with food, layered fruit that includes peach, pineapple, herbs and citrus.
Sbragia Family Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc 2012 ($20). We like the clean edges to this crisp, tasty sauvignon blanc from the Dry Creek Valley. Lemon-lime aromas and classic grapefruit, apple flavors. www.insidenorthernnevada.com
Tips from the experts — Get grilling! But don't forget the wine The
WINE GUYS Recommend
Tom Marquardt and Patrick Darr
It's grilling season! It’s not as if we haven’t been grilling since spring arrived -- many of us even grill all winter. But this time of year just gets the juices going as we yearn for the smells of a grilled hamburger or chicken. Look at one of the many ads for grilling equipment or charcoal and the master griller - usually the stereotyped man of the house - is holding a beer. Heaven help him if it’s a glass of wine, especially a rosé. However appropriate a beer with highly seasoned or greasy food, wine is a perfect choice for grilling fare. First, that rosé – our favorite summer sipper. Rosé adds splash to the table and serves as a perfect first wine as people come to a gathering. We like to sip a very chilled rosé as we prepare the grill. It is also a great gift to bring to a party because many hosts just don’t think of buying it. A good rosé is well received by our crowds, especially those who haven’t tried it before. As for the food, think light and fresh. Sauvignon blanc, for instance, is another good aperitif and matches appetizers, such as fruit and vegetables. It also does well with any herbal dressings, such as basil and cilantro, on chicken or fish. Sauvignon blanc’s acidity embraces salty foods and sets up the palate very nicely. It also does well with grilled vegetables. Chardonnay is a good match to fish, but is often overcome by heavy sauces and anything spicy. An inexpensive alternative we often recommend is picpoul. Ask your retailer for help on that one. Reds are often the go-to wine with grilled food because they are a good match to meats and ketchup-based sauces that often accompany hamburgers, chicken and ribs. You need to find a red that is generously fruity -- zinfandel and syrah, for instance. Tannic wines like cabernet sauvignon should be reserved for steak. Most zinfandel and syrah have jammy, blackberry flavors and little tannin. An inexpensive alternative is beaujolais, a simple but fruity wine made from gamay beaujolais grapes. www.insidenorthernnevada.com
Memorial Day is also the unofficial start of summer and it is tempting to overdo the food and wine. Be careful as you dust off the grill and open that second bottle of wine. You want your guests to be well fed, but you also want them to get home safely. We’ll be writing extensively about sauvignon blanc and rose in future columns. For now, here are some recommendations for summer grilling wines: Sauvignon blanc: Matanzas Creek, Villa Maria, Geyser Peak, Rodney Strong, Kim Crawford. Rose: Alexander Valley, Cline, Mas Carlot, Grand Cassagne, Grand Veneur. Zinfandel: Cline, Rosenblum, Ridge, Rancho Zabaco, Dry Creek Vineyards, Ravenswood. Syrah: d’Arenburg, Layer Cake, Bonny Doon, Qupe, Penfolds. Beaujolais: Georges Duboeuf
WINE of the
MONTH
WINE PICKS FOR JULY Vincent Paris St. Joseph 2010 ($29). About the time we give up on the jammy character of syrah, we are brought back to reality with a French version. This syrah from the St. Joseph appellation, just north of Cornas, is unbelieveable. Once allowed to breathe, it exudes fresh raspberry fruit and sports a nice mineral character that makes for a delicious wine.
M. Chapoutier Belleruche Cotes du Rhone 2010 ($14). This blend of 80 percent grenache and 20 perent syrah offers loads of fruit in a simple but delicious package. It’s always one of the best values on the market.

Murphy-Goode All In Claret 2010 ($24). This is a good deal from the Alexander Valley. Merlot makes up 64 percent of the blend and the rest is cabernet sauvignon and petit verdot. Full bodied but drinkable now with a variety of food. It would go well will barbecue and grilled meats. Dark cherry, cassis and plum notes.
Edmeades Mendocino County Zinfandel 2010 ($20). This is a surefire hit to go with pork and beef, especially if there is a ketchup-based sauce. Ripe, forward blueberry and cherry flavors with hints of coffee and chocolate. Inside Northern Nevada | JULY 2013 | 25
