FROM THE EDITOR: This month, we’re featuring a variety of article topics, including restaurants, bands, shops, entertainment, wellness, and beyond. And if you’re missing the people and festivities from Evolution of Burning Man, then be sure to check out Decompression’s “Renolution” event. With Halloween wrapping up the end of October, our cover story, our artist profile, and one of our Drinks articles focuses on a Dia de los Muertos series, Day of the Dead paintings, and a zombie bar crawl, respectively. Whether you are a fan of tricks or of treats, Reno Passport has you covered this month. So be careful this All Hallows’ Eve, and watch out for razors in your apples - unless, of course, you are into that kind of thing.

Nothing Bundt Cakes 5051 S. McCarran Blvd. - 775.827.5151 reno@nothingbundtcakes.com - www.nothingbundtcakes.com If you’re in the need for a quick dessert for a special dinner or need a great tasting cake for an upcoming birthday, then head over to Nothing Bundt Cakes. Located in the Smithridge Plaza across from Meadowood Mall, Nothing Bundt Cakes carries a variety of cake flavors, such as their very popular Chocolate Chocolate Chip and White Chocolate Raspberry. All cakes can be bought as an eight-inch Bundlet, a regular ten-inch cake, or a Tiered cake. Their store also sells balloons, cards, platters and more, making Nothing Bundt Cakes a one-stop shop for party essentials. Nothing Bundt Cakes has been open in Reno for two years and was recently bought by current owners Shele and Eddie Silveira. Shele says owning a bakery has always been a dream of hers as they are fun and have a good atmosphere. When she took a trip to Las Vegas and visited a Nothing Bundt Cake store there, she immediately gained interest in opening her own. Since working here, Shele says that the store gets busier all the time, and that bundt cakes seem to be “making a comeback” as opposed to staying in our grandmothers’ kitchens. Cakes can be ordered online through their website, by phone, or by walking in. One of 2 www.renopassport.com

their friendly staff members can help you choose the right cake. Special coupons can be found in local newspapers and magazines. Also, stop during their Yummy Hour on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5-6pm, where customers can buy a Bundlet for only $2.50. Nothing Bundt Cakes also delivers to the Reno-Sparks area but has been known to trek as far as to Tahoe and Truckee. Hours: Weekdays 9am-6pm, Saturdays 9am-5pm, Closed Sundays RP Tip: Nothing Bundt Cakes are best served at room temperature. They will be offering a seasonal Pumpkin Spice cake October through December. Text by Robyn J. Oxborrow

Mario’s Portofino Ristorante Italiano 1505 S. Virginia St. - 775.825.7779 www.mariosportofino.com After occupying a converted Pizza Hut building across from the Peppermill for nearly ten years while growing their business, Roberto and Mindi Gulizia decided to make a leap of faith and move their very popular Italian restaurant - Mario’s Portofino Ristorante Italiano - to a much larger, more sophisticated and efficient location. Now located at the corner of Mt. Rose St. and So.Virginia in the Virginia Street Plaza (formerly the Sports West Plaza), business has been growing steadily for Mario’s Portofino, named after the owners’ son, since opening in 1998. With a new larger kitchen, Chef Roberto, who was born in and learned his culinary skills in Milan, Italy, has expanded the menu and has created some exciting and unique dishes. If you’re an appetizers person, be sure to try the Polenta Porcini, grilled polenta with porcini mushrooms and gorgonzola. You must also try the Carpaccio, wafer thin sliced beef with arugula, capers, and shaved parmesan, drizzled with olive oil (it’s as big as a salad). One of my favorites entrees, not found in a lot of Italian joints is Spaghetti Carbonara, hot spaghetti tossed with eggs, panchetta (Italian bacon), cream, and plenty of parmesan cheese. For those looking for a seafood fix, the Risotto Ai 4 www.renopassport.com

Frutti Di Mare (Seafood Risotto… and no there’s not any fruit in it) is a creamy arborio rice dish loaded with a tempting array of assorted seafood (you’ll always find at least a half dozen very large succulent shrimp). The décor is truly Tuscan. Mustard, brick, burgundy, and terra cotta colors abound, centered by a long granite cocktail bar and a huge wine wall, which has an extensive wine list of domestic and international selections. Roberto and Mindi constantly wander the dining room, ensuring your meal is perfect and your experience memorable. Happy hour is from 4-6pm, and early bird dinner specials are from 5-6:30pm.

Tahoe Burger 6280 Sharlands Avenue, Unit 101 775.747.7333 Located off the Robb Drive exit on I-80, Tahoe Burger overlooks downtown Reno and the mountains to the east. The woodsy booths, tables, and chairs lend to a rustic, laid-back atmosphere. After being silently greeted by a stuffed black bear, customers give their orders to friendly cashiers. Employees bring your order to you, whether you are dining in or having your food to-go. If you’re in a hurry, you can grab your food at the drive-through window. The décor is simple and clean, and the service is quick. The atmosphere is nice, but I’m there for the food. At first bite, I fell in love with the Mount Rose Mushroom Swiss Burger ($3.99 sandwich only, $5.75 combo meal), which uses Wolf Pack beef, just like all of their beef burgers. All too often, mushrooms in burgers turn out rubbery and tasteless, but the tender mushroom slices were flavorful, complementing the buttery toasted bun and melted Swiss cheese. Without fail, my husband chose the Tahoe Burger, a two-patty version of the Sierra Burger, with shredded lettuce, tomato, ketchup, mayo, and pickle. Want bacon? Order the Truckee Bacon Burger ($4.99 sandwich only, $6.49 combo meal). Vegetarians can order the Naturalist Veggie Burger 6 www.renopassport.com

with all the fixings. I almost always order a combo meal for the crispy shoe-string fries that still have the skin on them. The menu isn’t limited to burgers, fries, and sodas. At the counter, you can choose beer or wine with your meal. They also carry lighter fare, such as salads and soups, smaller kid-sized portions and shakes, and even a breakfast menu. In addition to the grub, what makes me come back to Tahoe Burger is what it represents: some of the best things about Reno -- local beef, rugged scenery, and honest American food.

Reno Zombie Crawl Do you feel like the Reno scene isn’t dead enough? Are you missing the smell of flesh and the sound of Thriller? Well, you’re in luck because the second annual Reno Zombie Crawl will be hitting downtown Reno this year on Friday, October 30th, just before Halloween! Last year was a great beginning, but I had no idea what I was doing. I just figured that since Halloween was on a Friday and that I’m a huge fan of zombies and drinking, why not stage a crawl to harmoniously honor the two? From there, the dream was born, and it ended with hundreds of zombies converging on the city, swarming bars in search of brains and beer. This year, the bar crawl is again free for participants and will feature $2 drink specials at each location. There will also be three prizes given away for the sexiest, grossest, and funniest costumes. In order to participate, crawlers need to be in zombie costume at Amendment 21 at 8pm to grab a bracelet and participate in the costume contests. Once prizes have been awarded, the mob will head out to various spots, including Se7en at Arlington, the Waterfall, and even a special stop to once again do Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” Dance. 8 www.renopassport.com

They’re BACK!

Last year’s crawl was a raging success with tons of great costumes and a fun crowd. Don’t miss out! For more information on the event and to see photos from last year’s Zombie Crawl, go to www.renozombiecrawl. com. Text by Ed Adkins

Dr. brewmaster Oktoberfest!

Oktoberfest, the largest beer festival in the world, was originally instituted to commemorate the marriage of Prince Ludwig and Princess Therese of Bavaria, but arguably the real story involves brewing. Before refrigeration, it was necessary to brew German lager beer in the cooler seasons, and a stockpile of Märzen (or “March”) beer was the last to be brewed before the hot temps of summer kicked in. When the “brewing season” came back around, the surplus stocks of beer were tapped and consumed liberally and happily. The advent of refrigeration allows brewing all year round, but ‘tis the season for Oktoberfest!’ Fermented with lager yeast at a cooler temperature, Oktoberfest and Märzen beers have a gold to orange color with a moderate to high alcohol content. German “noble” hop varieties give clean aroma and bitterness that is very much in balance with the malty sweet character. Ayinger, Beck’s, and Spaten make some of the classics, but microbreweries around Reno/Tahoe have brewed their own Oktoberfest beer for your enjoyment. So gear up, these local Oktoberfest events and beer celebrations provide some of the best opportunities for beer tasting and cultural experiences in Reno/Tahoe this autumn. The Reno Homebrewer offers an Oktoberfest Tasting and Brewing Class this month. Help Great Basin Brewing Co. make their Harvest Ale by attending the pine nut cracking party in mid to late Oct. Spend an evening with B.J.’s Brewmaster at their beer and food pairing dinner Oct. 21st. Or go indulge yourself in some German culture, food, dancing, and beer at Bavarian World. Oktoberfest 2009 has arrived! Prost! Text by Ryan Quinlan

local band profile Whatitdo The band Whatitdo leaves listeners asking, ”Well, what it do?” They’ll also be asking in a pleasantly surprised tone, “What did they just do?” Bringing something completely new to Reno, Whatitdo members Aaron Chiazza (drums), Alex Korostinsky (bass), and Mark Sexton (guitar) hope to play a crucial role in Reno’s musical evolution. “Once you come up with new ideas, that’s how the art progresses,” Chiazza said. This instrumental trio is a side project of two bands: The Mark Sexton Band, a reggae/rock band, and Beard the Lion, a death metal band. The band’s genre -- a mix of funk and neo-soul -- is not only a change for Reno but also for the individual members of Whatitdo, who are all new to it. Whatitdo formed not for money or fame and not out of discontent of their other bands but formed instead for the pure enjoyment of playing music and expressing themselves in a new outlet. “We just love this kind of music, and we all want to play it,” Sexton said. The name of the band, derived from a phrase made popular in Oakland and used by Andy Samberg in a Saturday Night Live skit, is slang for the greeting “How’s it going?” or “What’s up?” The trio used the phrase jokingly so often that when it came 12 www.renopassport.com

time to pick a band name, choosing the name Whatitdo was a no-brainer. “I don’t think a band name has ever matched so perfectly to the music style,” Korostinsky said. “Even if you didn’t hear the name Whatitdo, you’d just listen to the music and be like, ‘Damn, what it do?’” Whatitdo will be playing at Se7en Teahouse (inside West Street Market) from 5-7pm on Oct. 11 for the Rock for Peace Fundraiser. You can also hear their music at www.myspace.com/whatitdoreno. Text by Jon Fortenbury

Anything Goes in The Jeff Done Show The Jeff Done Show is a one-man musical comedy act with a catchphrase: Anything Goes. Featuring Jeff Dunn, it started out as a regular gig in The Black Horse, owned by Larry Dunn (Jeff’s dad) and Frank Perez from Polo Lounge. Though this acoustic show is not at all scripted, Dunn writes all the music and the jokes. “It’s not all the way polished yet, but it doesn’t need to be because anything goes,” says Dunn. Jeff has been in a number of Reno bands, including The Walk of Shame, Steve Dave, Fall Silent, Suckapunch, and Whiskey. (Jeff didn’t want me to mention this, but his first band was called Twisted Reality.) Playing guitar for 28 years since he was three years old, Dunn has always seen music as his destiny. He recently went solo because he’s a self-proclaimed drunk. He’s been in and out of drunken binges and has burned some bridges with his family, friends, and bands. Since January, he’s been mostly sober, and his life has started moving in a more positive direction. “I just want to get my voice out to people,” says Dunn. “I can relate to everyone in different ways. I know it sounds cheesy, but I just want people to hear me and to feel the way I feel when I listen to great music or read great poetry.” His friends make fun of him for naming his act after himself and for having a catch phrase, but he doesn’t care. Writing songs and doing comedy is part of his everyday life. “I like to make people laugh and make some

people uncomfortable,” says Dunn. “My jokes are obnoxious to some girls, obviously, because I’m single.” You can find his upcoming shows at http://myspace.com/ Text by Michelle Montoya www.renopassport.com 13

local band profile Anti Panti Smile and Create Mass Destruction Since June 2007, South Lake Tahoe has been home to Anti Panti, a punk band so much fun to see that no self-respecting rocker can possibly stand still when they hit the stage. They started with an idea of what punk is and what it should be and a desire to keep that image alive. And yes, punk is alive. It’s not just a guitar riff and a fast bass line., iIt’s something you feel, and the music becomes something that you live. It’s the attitude, it’s the homemade shirts and CDs, and it’s the willingness to give all they have to do what makes them happy rocking your faces off. Anti Panti has a focus and drive to create a positive atmosphere and embrace the world for what it is, to accept differences and let loose to create a positive environment everyone can enjoy. They have played with the likes of Duwayne Peters Gunfight, the U.K. Subs, Guttermouth, and the Cobra Skulls and have played in Sacramento, Santa Cruz, San Francisco, and of course Reno and Tahoeall over the West Coast. “It’s not a show for us. It’s a show for everyone else,” said Nate 14 www.renopassport.com

Sweet over some cold PBR’s one clear Tahoe night. He explained how when the Squatters in Paradise (his former band) broke up, he just couldn’t let the music die. So he gathered the troops - Brett Luchia (lead guitar), JP Howell (bass) and Curt Murtha (drums) - all experienced musicians in Tahoe who support the core values of what they believe in: screw fashion, be yourself, and always strive to defy societal and generational standards of what you or your music should be to pursue what truly makes you happy. These guys do what they do because they love it. And they’ll be damned if they let any naysayer stand in the way of that. It doesn’t matter if they play in front of five or 5,000 people; these guys play their hearts out. They truly let it all hang out to create in everyone a sense of belonging, and anyone who wants to have some fun belongs. Songs are written by Sweet and Luchia, who try to whittle down a musical stream of

consciousness to connect life and their thoughts and perceptions into their songs. They encompass a wide range of ideas from good ol’ drinking songs to political songs about foreign policy to abstract songs about life in general. In October, they’ll record their first fulllength album, which will be produced by Ben Myer and will be available sometime in November. You can find Anti Panti’s upcoming shows online at http:// myspace.com/antipantimusic. Text by Grant DeVore Photos provided by band

subject matter, but Nevada is clearly a resounding theme in his work: Reno, Virginia City, Pyramid Lake, and the wide, expansive desert are some of his favorite places to shoot. “Obviously, the desert has a big influence of my work,” he says. ith his uncanny eye for detail and subject matter, one wonders why he did not choose places like Los Angeles or New York as a home base for his artistic career. So, why Reno? “Reno’s got character,” he asserts, emphasizing the last word. “A lot of towns don’t.” ilmore is the sole proprietor of Ruckus Visual Arts, which he describes as a “small visual agency that offers larger energy.” This is the first year that he is in business entirely for himself, and he is largely focused on building the commercial side of his enterprise.

G “

evada has a lot of things going for it that other places don’t have,” says local photographer Asa Gilmore as he thumbs through shots of eerily striking models contrasted

against the stark, barren beauty of the desert. Gilmore is a native Nevadan who was born and raised in Carson City and has lived in Reno for seven years. His work encompasses a wide array of

fter viewing Gilmore’s work for modeling agencies, banks, and architectural firms, it is amazing that his gothic-looking Nevada shots come from the same artist. He derives his inspiration from these otherworldly pieces from black metal, a genre of music originating in Norway and Sweden. “It’s kind of the gangster rap of the metal world,” he says, laughing. Muertos, a series that he is currently working on, and Metal are two such collections that reflect “both disturbing and reassuring” elements. Both collections contain heavy religious impulses although he concedes that Metal is definitely the less reverent of the two. he “do-it-yourself punk rock ethos” is evident in his work. His model in the Metal series, Danielle, did all her own makeup, which is not de rigeur in the fashion world. Gilmore does it all himself, admitting that he is a bit of a “control freak when it comes to lighting.” Jen, a particularly intriguing shot from Day of the Dead, captures the artist’s obsession with light by juxtaposing black and white with shades of gray to embody decay. The model appears in a white lace dress with her face painted as Death, appearing to

be waiting in haunting majesty between light and darkness. espite his penchant for dark, spooky themes, Gilmore is full of life and exudes a vibrant intensity for his work and his family. He cites his parents, who are both artists, as his biggest inspirations in becoming a photographer. When asked about his greatest accomplishment to date, he responds, “Personally or professionally?” Then a wide, ex-

cited grin replaces his serious expression. “Getting married this month!” ilmore is one of Nevada’s most talented and multifaceted artists to capture the quirky beauty of the state. As his company motto suggests, his work provides “a creative aesthetic for every medium.”

Junkee Clothing Exchange 960 S. Virginia St. - 775.322.5865 Hours: Every day 11am-7pm Has the downturn in the economy got you down? Are you looking for a low-cost pick-me-up? Well then look no further: Junkee Clothing Exchange is just the place you need! Specializing in recycled clothing, Junkee is home to fashionable clothing at more than reasonable prices. The massive 8800 sq ft store, which is located in the heart of Reno’s Midtown District, sells clothing, shoes, and accessories for men and women. It also sells items created by local artists and even has an antique mall inside. You literally can change your wardrobe and your home all in one location! When owner Jessica Schneider decided to open this shop, she wanted something big and over the top. “It had to be all or nothing,” said Schnieder. With incredible store displays and racktop displays as well, Schneider’s shop 20 www.renopassport.com

definitely makes an impact. Her store is just as wonderful and eccentric as she is. Schneider has trained her staff to look for clothing that is vintage or theatrical and items that are selling currently. All items must be in really good condition (so don’t take your dirty laundry there for cash). They pay $1-$3 per item of clothing and only accept a few pieces at a time (about five percent of what you bring in). They buy clothes between 12-4pm Monday through Saturday and have an allotted amount of money per day. Any items not purchased can be donated to St. Vincent’s Thrift Shop. So get on down to Junkee Clothing Exchange and make over your clothing and your home in one convenient and super hip location. Text by Michelle Montoya

GreenPro Systems PO Box 1505 Truckee, CA 96160 - 530.550.8030 www.greenprosystems.com Is it possible to increase profits and boost employee morale simply by changing a light bulb? As simple as it may sound, this is exactly what Green Pro Systems, a locally-based company, offers their clients. By utilizing a unique, American-made LED (light emitting diode) bulb, Green Pro has decreased energy consumption in numerous local and national businesses, including a recent retrofit for the Tahoe Truckee School District. Founded by Dr. Dave Mattocks, one of the original creators of “sustainable business practices,” Green Pro provides an almost immediate return on your investment. Unlike solar, which takes years to see a payback, LED lighting systems produce an almost immediate savings in energy costs, typically up to 30% in the first year and increasing yearly after that. In addition LED lighting has been proven to increase employee productivity because they see and feel better due to the healthier, full spectrum natural light. Dr. Mattocks, aka “Dr. Dave,” is a truly dedicated environmentalist, and it was his concern for a greener world that developed into Green Pro Systems. In a time when CEO’s and corporate leaders don’t necessarily “live” the company philosophy – think the 22 www.renopassport.com

CEO of Chrysler driving a Ferrari, not a Chrysler – Dave truly lives the “green dream.” After coining the term “sustainability” before it was even in the dictionary, Dave has made it his and his company’s goal. Prior to Green Pro, Dr. Dave worked for numerous organizations throughout the world, developing environmental systems and raising billions for environmental projects. Thanks to Green Pro, not only the Truckee Meadows, but the entire United States, is becoming a greener more environmentallyfriendly place, securing a healthy happy future for generations to come.

Nice Rack Over the years, pool halls have had a reputation for attracting a sometimes less than desirable clientele. But for the last five years or so, things have been changing for the better. With the advent of sports television (ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPN Classic), professional pool tournaments are televised almost weekly. And if images of a rotund Minnesota Fats comes to mind, think again. A number of today’s top shooters are actually very attractive females (and bad-ass pool players to boot) with large followings. The sport of billiards, more commonly known as pool, is very popular in Northern Nevada, with dozens of 8-ball and 9-ball leagues in the area. For ten years now, Val Albares of Dillagas Saloon has been overseeing a 9-ball league that involves four other bars/lounges (Black Horse Saloon, Davidson’s Distillery, Momma Bear’s Lounge, and The Zephyr). Teams of four players compete every Tuesday at 7:30pm 24 www.renopassport.com

for 18 weeks, playing alternate weeks at the opposition’s location. Each player pays a $6.00 entry fee each week with $2 going back into the end of the season prize money, which is distributed at an awards banquet. Teams accumulate points and develop rankings for wins and losses and vie for spots in the playoffs. Albares says the league is strictly for fun and entertainment and has no official governing body for her particular league (although other leagues are sanctioned by nationally-recognized billiards organizations). All skill levels are welcome, and players range from single moms and retirees to Gen Xers and attorneys and. So whether you’re a wannabe Willie Mosconi or you just enjoy hanging out with friends for a few fun games, think about joining a local 8- or 9-ball league. Rack ‘em Sucka! Text by Bob Carnahan

CANFEST

Sapphire Sirens Devine Temptation Revealed!

October 23, 2009

Reno International Canned Beer Festival First international beer judging and tasting for canned beer. Chocolate, Cheese and Ice Cream Pairings Portions of the proceeds benefit The Nature Conservancy and the Great Basin Bird Observatory. Tickets available at Buckbean Brewing Company, GSR and Ticketmaster. Tickets $35 Grand Sierra Resort & Casino 2500 E. Second Street Doors open at 6:30pm 26 www.renopassport.com

Saturday night from 10pm to 1am. Performances feature a balanced mix of mesmerizing dance set to popular songs. The show is big on talent and skimpy on costumes, both of which are a good thing . Many of the dance numbers feature the lovely ladies in varying degrees of undress (a.k.a. they are mostly topless). I am pleased to note that the majority of the lasses seemed to be natural endowed, which is a nice departure from the abundance of obvious artificial assets at many local adult entertainment spots. Surprisingly, the audience was a fairly equal mix of men and women, and there were a number of couples there as well. So for an evening of intoxicating dance, super singing, and unbridled sexiness (without the brass poles), make a date to see Sirens. Just $10 gets you in the door for the entire evening. RP Tip: A full bar serves up some of Reno’s best martinis and other libations.

Definition: Siren – “A woman who is considered to be dangerously seductive.” For years, The Sapphire Lounge at Harrah’s Reno has functioned as a late night entertainment venue in the forms of a high-end martini bar, a quasi nightclub/ disco, a karaoke bar, and a an open mic/comedy club. Today, it is breathing hot new life from its pulsating walls with an adult burlesque revue called Sirens - a visually pleasing combination of seductive dance, enticing lighting, and sensual vocals. Six sexy “Sirens” (the lead dancer’s from Greg London’s Iconman show in Sammy’s Showroom and few other leggy ladies) take the stage every Friday and Text by Bob Carnahan

local artist Naomi ferrall I first met Naomi back After further inquiry, Naomi in the soccer fields durwas kind enough to meet ing our college years at the with me and share with me University of Nevada, Reno. some of her paintings and Besides being a damn good the thoughts behind them. soccer player, I later found When asked about how she out that Naomi is also an started painting, Naomi, as amazingly talented artist. most artists would, anWhen I saw pictures of her paintings on Fa- swers, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve being doing it since I was a cebook, I was struck by the bright colors kid.â&#x20AC;? Although she majored in ceramics art and immediate joy the paintings gave me. at UNR, she started painting more and more

28 www.renopassport.com

about four years ago, and it is what she does most nowadays. She tells me the source of inspiration for her paintings comes mostly from her life in general - friends, family, and places she has traveled. This seemingly simple formula translates into visual delight with a festive and uplifting style reminiscent of the great Frida Khalo. “When I was in school, my teacher told me that I could not draw very good straight lines,” says Naomi, “So I never do.” Most of Naomi’s paintings depict movement and flow, with a strong female energy that drives the picture. She also introduces skeletons in a lot of the paintings, saying “I’m kind of obsessed with the Day of the Dead, and I don’t know why.” In her paintings, you will see the many different facets of everyday life: heartbreaks, joy, sadness, and nature. Regardless of emotions that put together one of her magnificent paintings, it still leaves you with a residue of happiness and smiles. No matter how difficult or painful a particular situation is, there’s always something positive and bright that can be rescued from the experience. Naomi was recently commissioned to produce a series of paintings for an Opera show in Chicago. Once she brings the paintings back home, she is considering her first art opening in Reno. For information on her upcoming events or if you’re interested in purchasing or inquiring about her paintings, you can contact her at nferrall@hotmail.com.

Home Concepts 10198 Church Street, Truckee, CA 530.582.2119 - www.homeconceptstruckee.com Home Concepts, a design resource center in Truckee, CA, recently received top honors from Kitchen and Bath Business (K+BB) Magazine. An acclaimed design center and showroom, Home Concepts specializes in kitchen and bath design and offers a showroom with a great selection of quality cabinetry, unique hardware for doors and cabinets, a vast array of stone, tile and flooring options, as well as interior and exterior doors. In the magazine’s competition, the designers are judged in a variety of areas. “Projects are judged on aesthetics, how creatively limitations and client requests have been met, functionality and fresh thinking,” explains K+BB Executive Editor Alice Liao. What received the award was a Europeanstyled kitchen designed by Home Concepts’ designers Ruth Cross and Marcio Decker. The home is on the North Shore of Lake Tahoe and was inspired by French chateaus 30 www.renopassport.com

and the homeowner’s passion for antiques. Marcio Decker, who owns Aspen Leaf Interiors, also won a Merit Award for a home on the West Shore that embraced old-time design in a modern home and setting. “The clients wanted the home and the bathroom to have the feeling of having been there for 80 to 90 years,” said Decker. “Lake Tahoe’s blue waters were the main inspiration for the bathroom’s color scheme.” With co-designer Betty Scott, Decker also received Honorable Mention for a master bathroom design in Lahontan that was built by Griggs Custom Homes. Together, Decker and Scott aimed to bring the rustic outdoors inside by using raw, natural materials in clean, contemporary lines.

Acupuncture An Interview with Dr. Howard Chen, MD/Acupuncturist Growing up in the western side of the world, alternative medicine is often viewed as ineffective hippy crap. We are almost conditioned to believe that drugs are the only way to treat an illness. “When I went to Burning Man for the first time, I suffered from horrible allergies,” says Dr. Howard Chen, a graduate of the University of Rochester medical school in New York. “I knew it was going to be bad, so I had every allergy medicine available to me, but they didn’t work,” he continues. A friend then offered to do some acupuncture on Chen, and he accepted. The allergies were gone, and he was able to enjoy the desert. This is when he decided to become an acupuncturist. Dr. Chen explains acupuncture by comparing it to a punch card computer. “Remember those old computers, where you insert the punch card and the computer knows what to do? Well, in acupuncture, you place the needles in a specific part of your body, and it knows what to do.” Both types of acupuncture can help accelerate this process. In western medicine, the 32 www.renopassport.com

needles placed in your body cause small injuries, which tell the body to pay attention to it and heal it. In eastern medicine, the needles are placed along energy flow meridians, helping conduct or unblock energy flow along those meridians and aid in the healing process. Either way you look at it, it’s undeniable that acupuncture has positive effects on the body. Dr. Chen says acupuncture is so effective that he does it fifty percent of the time at his Renown office. So, next time when you feel some pain or discomfort in your body, consider acupuncture instead of racing to the medicine cabinet. Drugs sometimes only cover the symptoms and don’t deal with the actual problem. RP Tip: Reach Dr. Chen at his office at 775.982.8255 or hchen@renownn.org. You can also catch Dr. Chen fire spinning with Controlled Burn and other groups in town. Text by Baldo Bobadilla

Skin Smarts You may have spent the majority of your summer outside in the spirit of being in the sunshine and enjoying those glorious desert rays. Summer is a time for outdoor barbeques and tans; however, your skin may be paying a high price for those sunny days. Those tawny tones you’re rocking now may turn into wrinkles, sunspots, and even skin cancer later. How do we proceed into the dry fall and winter months and make sure we repair and care for the biggest organ we have: our skin? After exposure to the heat and sunlight, the skin will become extremely dry. This fall, switch from a gel-based face wash to a cream-based one. The oils in those creamy cleansers will help rejuvenate and moisturize your skin. Additionally, coconut oil is a great tool to truly hydrate the skin in an amazing way. Coconut oil is solid at room temperature, and the paste can be used to hydrate the entire body. If you’d like to convert it into its oil form, just melt it down on the stove. It may also be valuable to purchase a humidifier for the upcoming cooler weather. 34 www.renopassport.com

Having the heat on and the windows closed in your home causes the air inside to become extremely dry. A humidifier will instantly add moisture to the air and can prevent your skin from becoming cracked and irritated. Even though summer is over, don’t forget to use sunscreen on a daily basis. Cloudy or clear, the sun’s ultraviolet rays will penetrate and cause skin damage year-round. Remember, even though you may be covering your body with jeans and sweaters, your skin underneath still needs love and care. Men and women alike: be smart about your skin now, and you’ll be well on your way to a flawless and healthy fall complexion. Text by Kate Long
