FROM THE EDITOR: Join us this month as we take to the great outdoors and participate in events that could only take place in Reno: River Fest early in the month (May 7-9th), the Artwalk on May 27th, and the Reno-Tahoe Odyssey Run early next the month (June 4-5th). When you’re not outdoors, enjoy the music inside with the Spring Forward by Paying It Forward music campaign, Keyser Soze, and Ott. Don’t forget about our sister city and be sure to check out Pietro’s Italian restaurant and Budget Used Furniture, both located in Sparks. Now that the weather is cooperating, the time is better than ever to live your city. Cheers!

Pietro’s Famiglia Ristorante Italiano 834 Victorian Ave. | Sparks | 775.355.7557 | www.pietrosfamiglia.com Hours: Tues-Sat 5pm-Close Opened since March of 2005, Pietro’s Italian restaurant has been hidden in plain sight for over five years. Located in the heart of Sparks on Victorian Ave, right above Tizzy Lish collectables, Pietro’s is a true familystyle restaurant with high quality food and great service. Owners Pietro and Christina Ochoa take pride in their family restaurant. They should because they have done all the work together. To get the restaurant opened, they did all of the construction, paint, tile, and décor. Even though it’s an established busi-

2 www.renopassport.com

ness, the Ochoas still do a lot of the work. When she’s not working her regular job at the Eldorado, Christina works at the restaurant. “I help out,” says Christina. “I do everything I can. I hostess, I waitress, I do the books. I do it all.” With 31 years of experience in the restaurant industry, Pietro is no stranger to the kitchen. After working his way up from the bottom in Reno restaurants, Pietro decided to go into business with some partners. He owned a restaurant in Puerto Vallarta and also owned Pasta Maniacs here in Reno. With

his knowledge of the back and the front of the restaurant business – and his desire to not work for anyone else – Pietro decided to open his own business. Pietro’s Famiglia Ristorante Italiano features a full menu that is overflowing with traditional Italian favorites. From antipasto freddi (cold appetizers) of bruchetta and insalati caprese to antipasto caldi (hot appetizers) of prosciutto prawns and calamari fritti, you’re sure to find the perfect way to start your meal. All the entrees come with zuppa (soup) or insalati (salad) and come with their hot-outof-the-oven bread with butter. The menu is broken down according to meal. From the pasta section, choose from spaghetti, fettuccini, linguini, lasagna, ravioli, tortellini, manicotti, and risotto. There are several pollo (chicken) dishes to choose from, including marsala, parmegiana, cacciatore, and florentino. If vitello (veal) is your thing, you can get scallopine picatta, scallopine marsala, parmegiana, or florentino. For the pesce (fish) eaters, they serve Pesce del Giorno (fresh fish of the day), salmon, frutti di mare, and shrimp scampi. Though not listed on the menu, Pietro’s serves ten different specials that rotate on a regular basis, including saltimbocca, Milanese, lobster, filet mignon, crab cannelloni, and a three-cheese ravioli with a lobster cream sauce. And with a full bar that has imported and domestic beers and an impressive 4 www.renopassport.com

wine selection, you’re sure to find the perfect libation to compliment the perfect meal. Pietro’s also features an opera singer on Saturday nights, and an intimate family-style meal in a private area is available to parties of 20 or more. From the friendly staff to the amazing food, from the eclectic Italian décor to the convenient location, you’re sure to find a new favorite place for Italian food in our area. I know I have.

Little ones are welcomed as well with a variety of things to keep the restless occupied. While the books are mostly grown-up reading, a small basket of toys complements them. The space between tables gives you some breathing room, and the wide array of tables even has three tables that you can write on with chalk (chalk provided). All these little details added up to a very enjoyable experience before I had even gotten my food. The store prides itself on making a majority of the menu fresh daily, and the difference is palpable. With a varied selection of “healthy and awesome” freshly made food and reasonable prices ranging from $5-$10, you’re sure to be as impressed as I was. Hi-Point offers coffee cards with a buy-tenget-one-free standard as well as half-price discounts on their day-old pastries (although you’d be hard-pressed to tell the difference). The lunch and dinner menus are available during all business hours. Check their website at www.hipointcoffee. com for the latest calendar, andfor updates on their Saturday music/open mic night, to join their email list, and to get periodic coupon deals as well. When it comes to doing great coffee and good food right, Hi Point is on point. Text by Dan Sullivan Photos by Nico Aguilera

Spring Forward by Paying Forward 2010

I’ll be first to admit community re-investment wasn’t the top of my priority list fifteen years ago. I thought back then charity work was something older people did, and sad to say, my only contributions to the community were forced upon me as a high school requirement. Oh, and there was that one time I trespassed into a neighborhood pool that was not mine. Suffice it to say, the RPD were instrumental upon inspiring me to do a little community re-investment back then. Now at the age of 30, I’ve come to understand the importance of people’s re10 www.renopassport.com

sponsibility to their own community. With the baby boomers nearing their golden years and the budget crisis still affecting everybody, most people – especially the younger generation – have lost the value of charity and community involvement for the greater good; hence, the celebrity endorsements to get involved. Hell, even Disney Parks are getting involved with their “Give a Day, Get a Disney Day” campaign. Merging two loves of music and making this world a better place inspired what is to be the Spring Forward by Paying

Forward Campaign, which is amazingly in its fourth year. KRZQ has worked with hundreds of local bands to raise over $30,000 for sixteen different non-profit organizations. The nonprofits are aware of how effective the campaign is. “The Crisis Call Center received donations from people who never would have thought about supporting us before as a result of this campaign,” said Crisis Call Center former marketing director, Allison Edwards. The campaign is set up in such a way that it really is a win-win situation for everybody involved. First, all parties get branding and marketing. The bands get their music played on the radio and get to play coveted concert venues like The Brew Brothers and The Knitting Factory, where normally national acts or polished bands tread. Lastly, the non-profits reach out to an untouched demographic and get a little money for their cause. “This fundraiser was by far one of the most beneficial events that we have

participated in, with the most ease,” said ReStart’s former executive assistant, Julianna Glock. Every year has been a learning experience for us at KRZQ, for the local musicians, and for the sponsors, who really have come to the table with a lot of fantastic opportunities. A huge contributor has been Sandra Horst at Best Buy Spanish Springs, who in 2009 brought their Tag Team Award to the table. This award is used to inspire their staff to volunteer their time to the community. This year, you can support your local musicians and this year’s non-profits – the SPCA of Northern Nevada, Keep Truckee Meadows Beautiful, and The Children’s Cabinet – by simply going to www.krzqfm.com. It’s not only community reinvestment through music, but it’s a fun way to get involved. Yes, you can support local music and your local community at the same time. Text by Melanie Flores

Unlike the mysterious mafia kingpin for whom they are named, Keyser Soze can’t be missed. One thing that the band does have in common with the antihero of “Usual Suspects” is that their influence is felt from the top down. Or rather, their influence is heard. Keyser Soze has been a key player in Reno’s music scene for over a decade, and where the lifespan of a band can be as long the attention span of the drummer, the secret to this band’s longevity is simple: passion and discipline.

Success for Keyser Soze is really a combination of those two elements. All members of the band have formal music training or have spent decades playing music in bands. The sevenpiece ensemble consists of Jammal Tarkington, Rodney Teague, Ruben Garcia, Ryan Hall, Kevin Lum, Mike Mayhall, and Jon Hall. Tarkington and Teague are the two founding members, and they continue to act as both the backbone and the creative drive of Keyser Soze.

I’m not sure when it was, but I was there. When exactly the band was initially formed was initially subject to debate, but the group’s first sticker resolved the confusion. “The sticker says 1996,” says Teague. “No,” interjects Tarkington. “The sticker says ’98. We started playing, but we weren’t Keyser Soze until 1998.” www.renopassport.com 15

Time has flown, while their music has grown. “When it started out, [the band] was more ska-punk,” says Tarkington. Now, traditional Jamaican, ska and dub style are the prevalent influences on this album. A band that has been together for this long undoubtedly has a few “weirdest gig” stories. One recent experience in Arlington, Washington defies the unconventional. The show took place at a Tolkeinesque venue that included a tattoo parlor and a hair salon. The promoter for the show invited the band back to his house. “This dude has pigeons, snakes, several dogs, a three-legged cat, and a three-legged squirrel,” Tarkington recounts, shaking his head. “The pigeons were the funniest… Joe, he was sleeping in there. Every time he moved… He woke up and looked at the pigeons, and they just started in, just from him opening his eyes!” For the record, Tarkington slept in the van that night. Being in the band is a full-time job with some major perks. Besides being able to live their dream of working as full-time musicians, they also get to play with other musicians whose work they have long admired. The Wailers and Michael Franti are two such headlining acts whose talent matches their grace. Keyser Soze has played with Michael Franti on a few occasions, and they admire his down-to-earth, friendly style. Keyser Soze also collaborates with local and out-oftown talent; the popular ska band Warsaw is featured on their latest album, “But Not for You.”

They’re Writing Songs of Love Highlights of “But Not For You” include “BeDop,” a buoyant love song with some velvety vocals and highly danceable beats. The hit track may be “Unloyal,” an introspective and addictive piece that is reminiscent of Bob Marley’s “Who The Cap Fit” in both theme and hip-swaying rhythm.

“

So many that would say They’ve got your back, but really they no So I tell don’t fool yourself It’s just the games that people play.

Combining intelligent, didactic lyrics with over one hundred collective years of musical experience is what makes “But Not For You” a synthesis of collaboration, unity, and fusion of past and present musical elements. Keyser Soze has studied the greats and even played with some of their heroes. Finally, their hard work has paid off, having achieved a strong local following and national recognition for their inimitable, wide-ranging style. Almost imperceptibly, they have graduated from the role of student to teacher. They look forward to offering more all-age shows to include the younger generation in their music. Recently, they played a show at Wooster High School and were amazed at the musical knowledge of some of the students who approached them with questions and comments about reggae and ska music. As the band has changed and evolved, so has Reno’s musical tastes and knowledge. Tarkington recounts going into Mirabelli’s Music City a decade ago and asking for ska music. The girl at the counter looked at him like he was from another musical galaxy and let out an inquisitive expletive that started with “Whatthe” and ended with “ska?” She called the manager over, and Tarkington was met with the same reaction: no se habla ska. So when teenagers approach the band already armed with musical knowledge, it’s evident that there are some positive cultural changes that have taken place in Reno…and Keyser Soze has a lot to do with that. The band has no plans of stopping anytime soonthey will continue to make music, promote their new CD, and offer more interactive, all-ages melodic experiences for the community. Find and fan them on Facebook and become their friend on MySpace to find out about upcoming events and information on how to get their new CD. www.renopassport.com 17

House Seats and Me “Free tickets,” I asked the man with the house seats logo embroidered nicely on his shirt. “You must be joking? You mean, I join this thing called house seats and I get FREE tickets to shows, concerts, theatre and such here in the Reno area?” He nodded yes politely. I thought there must be a catch, but come to find out there isn’t. It’s the latest thing to hit Reno, and I’m

18 www.renopassport.com

here to let you know it’s for real. It’s called house seats (http://reno.houseseats.com/). For only $89, you’ll get two free tickets to as many shows as you can go to in a year from here to Sacramento. We go out often and easily spend $100 for a night on the town, so I thought for $89, what do we have to lose? I talked my boyfriend into joining, and we started getting tickets immediately.

I couldn’t believe it – casino shows at the Peppermill, Grand Sierra, and Eldorado is ours for the picking as are standup comedy shows at Crystal Bay casino, hip hop at Club BLU in MontBleu, a variety of shows at the Knitting Factory, lots of theatre, jazz orchestras, chamber orchestras, blues bands, all kinds of music at venues that don’t cost me a dime. The email notifications from house seats were coming fast and furiously. I couldn’t believe how easy it was to book the tickets on their website and pick them up at the venues. We started going to stand up comedy and loved it so much that we went every Friday for four weeks in a row. The tickets were free, so we spent money on drinks and food and still had a very affordable night out. We figured we recouped our $89 investment in just the first month! The great thing about house seats is it’s an incentive to get out and experience the wide variety of entertainment available here in Reno. You’ll discover shows and music venues you didn’t even know existed, like the Brewery Arts Center in Carson City. And there are great shows for children too. I took my son to the planetarium because he’d never been, and we loved it. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve driven by that place, and because of house seats I finally went – for FREE. We loved it so much, we upgraded to a four20 www.renopassport.com

ticket membership so we could take friends and treat them to a show. There are times when my boyfriend had a guys’ night out and treated his three buddies to an MMA fight live at the GSR. I couldn’t believe that I had stumbled on this gem called house seats, so I started telling friends because it’s the coolest thing I’ve ever belonged to. I was surprised to find out how few people knew about it because I’m always the last person to hear about the latest, greatest, hippest thing in town. Take it from me, Reno, and give it a try. It’s not a huge investment, and I guarantee you’ll enjoy going out on the town, for free, courtesy of http://www.houseseats.com. Text by Melinda Elizondo

Budget Used Furniture 1845 Prater Way | Sparks | 775.331.6676 | Hours: Mon-Sat 11am-6pm Tessa Snider never intended to be an entrepreneur, but you’d be hard pressed to call the hardworking owner of Budget Used Furniture and The Nest anything else. When she originally walked into Budget, it was at the behest of her father who suggested the recent college graduate look into owning her own business. Now five years later, Budget and Snider are changing the face of home furnishings in the Truckee Meadows. The unassuming building is just minutes from downtown and UNR and houses treasures from all decades and style movements. If you think you’ve heard of Budget before, you probably have- Budget has been located on Prater Way for years and previously offered mass-produced furniture at low prices. The laminate lifestyle has been a staple of college students and first-time home buyers for years, but Snider had bigger ideas: find unique, sturdy vintage pieces and sell them at prices that would allow more people access to quality furniture. Every item inside Budget’s large showroom has flare and character, but many didn’t start that way. Snider not only sleuths out the many unique items that fill the vignettes in her store, she also restores and repairs the pieces, breathing new life into items that would normally end up in landfills. 22 www.renopassport.com

Continued in pg 24

Snider uses great care to show each item she finds in its best light by creating scenes and settings to better allow her customers to see hidden potential. She enjoys showing people a different way to look at the traditional and mundane, using items in ways for which they were never intended. Budget doesn’t accept consignments, but loyal customers are still the best source for the constantly revolving inventory that fills the store to the brim. Everything you will find displayed comes from our area – no trips to the Bay or shipping is used. Snider and her incredibly supportive husband, Tim, pick up and move everything themselves. Northern Nevada’s own style and flavor more than keep both stores and the Snider house well outfitted.

24 www.renopassport.com

With such an incredible array of items – not just furniture, but art, clothing, chests, and conversation pieces – a single pass through the showroom is not enough to fully appreciate the options set before you. Like a favorite book. Everywhere you look, you will discover something you didn’t see the first time. Great care has been taken to build a stock for all tastes and styles; more importantly, Budget’s mission is to ensure you’ll have some money leftover when you’re done. Because inventory and stock are constantly in flux, savvy shoppers know to follow Budget on Facebook and Twitter (@budgetfurn), and stop in frequently so as not to miss a thing.

Art walk Towering buildings fling neon florescence at the Truckee River. Cafés add their ‘open’ sign lights—a bar, its flashing beer ad. At night, this brightness flickers on the river beneath a dark sky, and a snapshot will only reflect that sight. A patient photographer, however, will leave the shutter open longer, let the exposure stretch into the night. Barely visible in a single instant, pinks and greens will bloom across the sky and illuminate the dark water. As the camera lingers in the scene, the photo takes on magic. And so with Reno’s Riverwalk District: gorgeous flashing by, but for the richest experi-

ence, a leisurely evening is required. The monthly Artwalk, presented by the Riverwalk Merchants Association (RWMA), is the perfect event to fully feel the atmosphere and excitement of one of our city’s most vibrant, happening districts. April marked the one-year anniversary of the Artwalk, which takes place on the last Thursday of every month. The Artwalk runs from 4-10pm, during which time you meander along the Truckee River and take in— what else?—art! While the focus is on art, the variability of options is one of the greatest pleasures the Artwalk has to offer.

According to Courtney Barnett, Marketing Coordinator for the RWMA, “One month you may go to a play at Bruka [Theatre] and the next month you may go to four art receptions and enjoy drink specials at Pizza Reno.” Barnett said that promoting local artists, musicians, and performance companies is part of what the Artwalk is all about. The shops, cafés, bars, and other businesses along the Truckee River provide exposure to artists who may be unknown to you, and you get to take in their work and maybe grab a drink or go shopping—whatever you want. This month, the Artwalk will take place on May 27th and will feature receptions at the River Gallery, the Siena Hotel, and Java Jungle/Jungle Vino. All these locales can be a lot to remember, plus, if you aren’t familiar, there’s the question of where they are. No problem. The City of Reno has lent support by providing a specialized guide every month. These can be picked up on the evening of the event at the West Street Market (on West Street, between First and Second Streets) or at various other outlets such as the Sierra Tap House (252 W. First Street). Look for various drink and dining specials, not only at the Tap House, but also $3 drinks at Wild River Grille and elsewhere. Se7en Teahouse will offer mojito and sangria specials. The Artwalk is about promoting community, having fun, and witnessing the beauty encompassed in this district of Reno. Local art28 www.renopassport.com

Reno-Tahoe Odyssey Relay Run June 4-5, 2010 The 6th Annual Reno-Tahoe Odyssey Relay Run Adventure presented by Intuit is June 4-5, 2010. This event is unlike any other in our area. The Reno-Tahoe Odyssey is a relay run best suited for teams of 12 runners. The relay follows a spectacular 178-mile long course that begins in Reno, loops around the entire region including Truckee, Lake Tahoe, and Virginia City, and finishes back in Reno. This is a great way to experience the sights and attractions of the Reno-Tahoe region while exercising. The course is divided into 36 legs; each runner runs three legs. Teams average 24 hours to complete the relay. Each runner will run a leg during the night. That run under the stars is the highlight for many relay runners. An Odyssey relay is the most fun that you can have with your running shoes on. You will do more laughing than running. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget your super-soaker and your cowbells. And there are contests that are just about fun: most spirited team, best team name, best 30 www.renopassport.com

team shirts/uniforms/costumes, and best decorated team vehicles. This event is more of an adventure, parade, and slumber party than it is a run. You will bond with your teammates and with the other teams as you travel along the course. You will share a huge feeling of accomplishment

The running begins Friday, June 4, at Wingfield Park, and the start is staggered. The slowest teams will go first, and the fastest teams will start last. Most teams start in the morning. The relay ends Saturday June 5 at the Finish Line Festival in Idlewild Park. This big celebration party is open to the public. Men Wielding Fire and Buenos Grill will serve great food, cold refreshments, and tasty beers. At the party, Drinking With Clowns will perform live

It’s Not the End of the Road The bad news is everywhere: budget cuts, furlough days, shortfalls; layoffs for firefighters, class-size increases for K-12, reductions in retirement benefits. Amidst all this bad news, a seldomnoticed problem is growing, one that threatens to choke life from the Reno economy in the midst of the worst recession the state has known. And this problem is transportation funding. Now, I know what you’re thinking: such a statement is overdramatic. With all the other problems Nevada is facing right now, why should we worry about highway funding? After all, the majority of us get to work every day without incident. Yes, we may need to

34 www.renopassport.com

slam the breaks in the spaghetti bowl, but we carry extra clothes for traffic-caused coffee spills. Yes, we wait more than we’d like for RTC, but work isn’t all that much fun anyhow; arriving a few minutes late won’t hurt. And, no, highway funding is not the type of glamorous issue that spurs “tea-party” protests and angry editorials. Our roads can’t speak for themselves, so the issue draws less press than do stories on crowded emergency rooms or students without textbooks. Nevertheless, if you dig a bit deeper, you’ll find declining highway funds are a growing—and dangerous—problem. You may not care about highways, but I’ll bet you care about at least one of the following:

Continued on pg 36

• Your time: As of 2005, Nevadans spent as much time idling in traffic as do New Yorkers, according to the Texas Transportation Institute. • Your money: Las Vegas motorists lose the equivalent of a week of work each year due to traffic congestion. Even if you don’t work, I’ll bet you can think of other things to do with that time, things more enjoyable than inhaling exhaust. • The economy: New highway construction and road improvements can create jobs and help local businesses. Furthermore, Nevada is a tourism-driven state; why do we make it difficult for tourists to drive into the state? • The environment: The idling time that wastes a week of work also burns through 27 gallons of gasoline each year. Since most of us can’t splurge for a hybrid any time soon, this number is unlikely to decline. And, most importantly,

36 www.renopassport.com

• Your life: As of 2007, Nevada had the seventh-worst highway fatality rate in the nation; this rate is 44% higher than the national average. Many of these deaths could be avoided if Nevada widened lanes, revamped intersections, and made other safety improvements for our roadways. So, again, I’ll admit that highway funding is not a flashy issue, nor is it a topic that gets the spotlight in the middle of a recession. However, the state of our roads has a clear impact on the state of our state. From the minute we grab our coffee cups and head out the door, our lives are impacted by traffic, bumpy pavement, and public transit wait times. Shortfall or not, funding for our highways is an issue that cannot be ignored. For more information and to see what you can do to make a difference, go to www. fixNVroads.com. Text by Jeannette Belz

Reno River Festival “That guy who’s standing over the drain in the gutter with a pan full of motor oil has more reason not to dump it out today than he did say ten years ago,” said Jim Lichtfield, designer of Wingfield’s white water park, while discussing some of the criticism he’s received over the Reno River Festival (RRF). “Now, he has to think about the fact that his wife and kids are likely making their way down to the river as well.” Lichtfield, 41, is a Principal/Hydrologist for Fluid Concepts here in Reno. He graduated from UNR with a bachelor’s degree in Geology and a master’s degree in Hydrology.

Drawing close to 40,000 people last year, the RRF—taking place this year, May 7-9th, at Wingfield Park—has garnered national attention to our small patch of grass, concrete and flowing water, with their professional freestyle kayaking event, the much anticipated Run Amuck foot race, and the Humans in Motion Film Festival—which has seen entrants from as far away as North Carolina. The event goes beyond just celebrating the river that provides 85% of our drinking water. It’s about bringing together a diverse community. It’s more than just a white water park; it’s a starting point for social activity. I

Continued on pg 40 38 www.renopassport.com

suppose understanding this can help one to see why something like the Run Amuck is relevant during the festival. “Creating participatory experiences is really important to me,” Litchfield said. It would be easy for Fluid Concepts to just stick with kayaking and water sports. It’s also important to recognize that taking a broader approach isn’t just a way to bring in more money. In fact, the festival is spending thousands of dollars on a Biomass-gasification unit from the University of Montana in order to power Music in the Park. The unit gasifies woodchips in a noncombustible fashion in order to create heat which is then transferred into electricity. The Sierra Nevada Brewing Company will be the official beer of the event, providing recyclable and compostable cups. Several vendors and sponsors will be in attendance as well, including members of the fishing community. According to Lichtfield, organizations in the community are encouraged to offer ideas for new events. This year, the Holland Project will be hosting a double-dutch competition. Out of Bounds Board Shop is anticipated to host a skateboarding event next year at which point the basketball courts at Wingfield will be turned into a temporary skate park. There will also be Yoga in the Park this year along with several other family-friendly activities.
