Fireworks, drone shows on tap
I want to applaud the efforts by residents and local agencies who worked hard to bring back all of the 4th of July celebrations that have been missed the last few years. These shows take hundreds of volunteers and lots of fundraising. Kudos to everyone who helped make them a reality. You’ll find details on four local fireworks shows, plus the debut of three local drone shows (all on the North Shore) in this edition.

Be prepared for trails
With so many visitors and vacation homeowners arriving for the summer season, we wanted to take this opportunity to remind all trail users, whether you’re out for a short stroll or an overnight backpack, to be prepared before venturing out on our trails. Trail guru Tim Hauserman, who penned the guidebook to the Tahoe Rim Trail, offers his tips on what to pack, what you need to know and how to enjoy (and be safe) on our trails in his feature “Traveling Tahoe’s trails: What You Need Before You Go.” This is essential information to all trail users. Remember, when you take that first step onto a trail, you’re in the back country and need to be prepared.

I am honored and proud that Tahoe Weekly has been chosen by the Far West Ski Association to receive this year’s Bill Berry Hard News award. The Association recognized the work of Sean McAlindin, Priya Hutner, Mark McLaughlin and me in awarding us this distinction. This is the second time that Mark has received the award. He received the first award 30 years ago when he was nominated by Bill Berry himself. Berry was a pioneering journalist who started covering winter sports in 1916 and wrote for San Francisco Examiner, the New York Herald Tribune, the AP and many other news outlets. He was inducted into the U.S. Ski-Snowboard Hall of Fame for his contributions to the winter sports industry, so it’s a great honor to receive the award that bears his name. I also want to congratulate Coolfire Productions, Palisades Tahoe and the SNOW Sports Museum for receiving the Warren Miller Modern Media Award for the documentary “Magic in the Mountains” about the 1960 Winter Olympic Games held in Tahoe. Find details on the film at magicinthemountainsfilm.com.

O
ur region is blessed with hundreds of miles of trails that snake through deep forests, cross mountain streams and climb over smooth granite to beautiful views of Lake Tahoe. But these trails we love are now inundated with visitors. If the trails are to remain beautiful we have to use them responsibly, which includes treating the environment with respect and knowing how to get out there and back safely. Below are my tips for day hiking in the Lake Tahoe region. Most of this info is helpful for all trail users, but if you are mountain biking or backpacking, there will be some modifications and additions you will want to consider. For a few tips on backpacking responsibly check out my book: “Tahoe Rim Trail: The official guide for hikers, mountain bikers and equestrians.” Another source for good information are the Leave No Trace Seven Principles.
Before you go
First Aid | Take a basic first-aid class. It’s also a savvy move for your hiking friends to take a class also so they can save your butt. Weather | Check the weather forecast. No, not some quick summary on your phone, but a more detailed analysis like the NOAA Weather Discussion for the Reno-Tahoe area. You want to know the hourly temperatures, if it is going to rain or snow and when. If it looks like a thunderstorm is possible at 4 p.m., plan your day to be out of the woods well before then. Be sure to keep an eye on the sky to see if the storm is ahead of schedule. 8
Trail info | Have a good understanding of the level of difficulty of the trail you are taking and also a realistic understanding of your own abilities. How far is it? How much elevation gain is there? How fast do you usually hike?
What to take
Plan | Plan what you want to bring with you in your pack based on the weather forecast, how far you are going and your needs. Shoes | Start with sturdy, comfortable shoes that you have used enough to know they will not give you blisters. Ditch the cotton socks for synthetic or wool ones. Layers | Wear layers of synthetic or wool fabrics that wick away moisture. Layers are important because based on the time of day, altitude and wind, temperatures can fluctuate a great deal in the mountains. Convertible hiking pants are a good option because they can be long pants early in the morning, shorts in the afternoon and back to long pants while you’re running to escape the rain. Wear synthetic underwear that wicks away moisture and helps avoid chafing, which if you’ve ever had it, you know can be a significant issue. Wear a lightweight synthetic shirt, a thin fleece shirt and a rain shell. Add a hat that keeps the sun off your dome and perhaps a lightweight warmer hat for spring or fall. Poles | Hiking poles are a great option, especially on longer hikes with some climbing. Food & water | You will get hungry.
Take along energy bars, trail mix, a sandwich, cheese and crackers, chocolate and, of course, more chocolate. Bring more water than you think you might need. Bring a camelback with at least two liters of water for a long day hike. First Aid kit | There are small lightweight first-aid packs designed for back-country use that provide a lot of necessary stuff in a small package. Add some Tylenol or ibuprofen and any medications you might need. Toilet paper| Pack toilet paper in a plastic bag to pack it out. Women can avoid dealing with toilet paper for No. 1 by bringing along a pee cloth, which are specially designed pieces of fabric that do the job then dry out quickly afterwards while hanging on the back of your pack. Now, after I suggested all the things to bring, may I suggest not bringing much else. Heavy packs make for unhappy hikers.
Be a good hiker
There are two things that when seen in the wilderness drive Tahoe locals crazy: toilet paper flags and dog-poop bags. Both of these must absolutely, never, ever, be left in the woods. Would you leave these on your living room floor? Potty time | If you use toilet paper put it in a plastic bag and throw it in the trash when you get home. If you bring a dog into the woods, you are responsible for picking up its poop and carrying out the bag to be thrown away. There are no poop fairies, no one wants to see or carry out your dog’s poop.
If you don’t like the smell, bring along a bag with baking soda to put the poop bag in. It is astounding to me that a person could actually leave one of these bags on the trail and walk away. Pooch prep | Speaking of dogs, be sure there will be plenty of water along the route you are traveling and bring extra water for your dogs, just in case. Some trails around Tahoe can be very rocky and hot, so make sure your dog is accustomed to those conditions or bring booties to ease the burden on their paws. Some owners have their dogs wear packs to carry in essentials and carry out poop bags. Don’t litter | I would think it should go without saying, but apparently, I have to say it anyway. Don’t litter. Everything you bring in, gets brought out — by you. And that means orange peels and apple cores. These attract animals that should not be getting accustomed to the food we eat. Oh, and while we are on the topic, never feed wildlife. Pack it out | When you return to the trailhead, if the trash facilities are full, take it home with you to your own trash can. To make up for those folks who don’t know the drill, pick up a few pieces of trash on your way out. The goal is to have a trash-free environment. Responsible travel on Tahoe trails is just a matter of common sense. Plan ahead and make good decisions about when and where you hike. Bring what you might need. Don’t litter. n

Bowl Incline
DOG OWNERS BEWARE OF ALGAE The U.S. Forest Service Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit has issued a warning for dog owners to avoid toxic algal blooms at Kiva Beach and Taylor Creek on the South Shore. Shallow pools and slow-moving water can promote the growth of toxic algae that can lead to illness. Do not let dogs drink or swim in affected waters. Visit mywaterquality.ca.gov to see where harmful algal blooms have been reported. | cdc.gov, fs.usda.gov/ltbmu
BOWL INCLINE REOPENS Bowl Incline is nearly finished on a major renovation of the property and is hosting a soft opening from June 22 to 26 by reservation only before it opens fully in July.

Volunteers are needed to participate in one of the programs: Volunteer Ambassador, who will be trained to identify and report fire danger; Secret Steward, for hikers and mountain bikers to report trail conditions; and Virtual Fire Lookout Ambassador, who will help monitor ALERTWildfire lookout cams for fire or smoke at visittruckeetahoe.com/ weather. Spanish speakers are needed. | Register visittruckeetahoe.com
NORTH BOWL UPGRADE UNDERWAY The upgrade of the new North Bowl lift at Heavenly Ski Area is underway. The new high-speed, 4-person chair will open for the 2022-23 season. A helicopter has removed 29 of the old lift towers as Heavenly works toward upgrading the North Bowl lift. Some of the new towers along with rebar cages have already been delivered. Demolition of the top and bottom terminals is also underway. Five of the old chairs on the lift are being converted into benches for Ski Run Community Park, and another 97 were actioned recently to benefit the park, the Boys & Girls Club of South Lake Tahoe and the EpicPromise Foundation. | skiheavenly.com

CYCLING ROUTES AROUND LAKE TAHOE Strenuous | 72 miles This challenging route is a scenic trip around Lake Tahoe. A mix of flat spots, rolling hills and some steep climbs. Heavy traffic through South Lake Tahoe. Amazing views. BARKER PASS Moderate-strenuous | 10 miles RT Barker Pass is one of the most beautiful rides in Tahoe, if you don’t mind a little climbing with 5 miles and 1,700 vertical feet. Take Highway 89 south of Tahoe City to Barker Pass Road for about 4.2 miles. Look for the brown sign on the right for Blackwood Canyon/Kaspian, and shortly afterward you will see the Forest Service road. HOPE VALLEY TO BLUE LAKES Moderate | 28 miles RT You can explore the Highway 88 in either direction of Hope Valley, but 12-mile ride from the valley to Blue Lakes is a biker’s dream: smooth roads, doable climbs and spectacular alpine scenery with a lake at the end. Park at the intersection of Highways 88 and 89 and turn right. In 2 miles, turn onto Blue Lakes Road. The ride starts out mostly level until you pass the Hope Valley campground where it begins to steadily ascend before reaching the pass with a panoramic view of the area. Then descend for several miles to end at Blue lakes before the return trip. INCLINE TO MOUNT ROSE SUMMIT Strenuous | 16 miles RT Ride about Lake Tahoe for panoramic views of the basin climbing to 8,900’ on the Mount Rose Highway out of Incline Village, Nev., to the Mount Rose Pass. While 8 miles of climbing is tough, it’s a fairly gentle grade. Just put it in your lowest gear and keep pedaling, followed by 8 miles of downhill at fast speeds with sandy bike lands. Keeping your speed under control is vital. Parking at Preston Field in Incline Village or start at the top and park at Tahoe Meadows or at the summit. OLD 40 TO CISCO GROVE Moderate-strenuous | 39 miles RT This route is one of the easiest to follow, and one of the best. It has it all the views, a good climb, a technical descent, a restaurant en route, Donner Lake and miles of lightly traveled roads. From downtown Truckee head west on Donner Pass Road until it ends in Cisco Grove. After passing Donner Lake, you begin the long and challenging, but scenic, grind up the summit. This climb has a vertical rise of less than 1,000’. From the top of the summit, it is a rolling downhill along the Yuba River all the way to Cisco Grove. The descent down to Donner Lake is a technical one. Watch your speed, and make sure your brakes work. Parking at West End Beach and boat ramp.

Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 19) Your mood and focus has shifted to emphasize the importance of home and family. What is important and needed versus simply wanted is on your mind. While only you can answer this question, consider that everything we do, we do to feel good. Focus on feelings and include everyone for best results.
Taurus (Apr 20 – May 20) Just when you thought you were about as busy as you could be, you got even busier. This is a call for time management and clear boundaries. You do want to get a lot done and doing the rounds is likely. Keeping up with communications is part of the plot and success depends on your ability to be diplomatic.
Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21) Getting clear on what is important includes a reassessment of your ‘economic’ responsibilities and priorities. While this naturally applies to your finances, economic can refer to your mental and emotional reserves as well. Giving to everyone and everything in right measure is the creative challenge.
Cancer (Jun 22 – Jul 22) You are of two minds as summer begins. On one hand, you are ready to take new leads and enter new territory. On the other hand, you are happy to listen more and talk less. Paying closer attention to others will allow you to know who needs you most and where to best direct your energy and empathy.
Leo (Jul 23 – Aug 23) Balancing between outer engagement and inner retreat is also up for you. As happy and willing as you are to be there, you also feel inclined to watch and listen more than to reach out and initiate. This is an invitation to be true to your own mood and feelings which are likely to be noticeably up and down.
Virgo (Aug 24 – Sep 22) An accelerated pace has become the new norm of late. This trend will continue, so you are challenged to be on top of your game. Returns for past efforts should be noticeable, but these do require your full participation, as well. This includes fixes, repairs and improvements. Fortunately, you are feeling ambitious.

Libra (Sep 23 – Oct 22) The spotlight is now on your career, your social status and public life, in general. Something new is brewing. As exciting as this may be, it also requires new levels of responsibility and integral response. Chances are you will get a promotion, a new job altogether, or public recognition.
Scorpio (Oct 23 – Nov 21) Your sights are set on the future. Seeing a bigger picture feels extra important. Circumstances have and continue to push you to acknowledge, confront and overcome certain fears. This is a call to action as over-thinking will likely cause more problems yet. Make a push for the changes you know need to happen.
Sagittarius (Nov 22 – Dec 21) You have entered a cycle of change and transformation. It could manifest as a purging process of some sort. Whether you are cleaning the garage, clearing the clutter, cleansing your organs or clearing the air with certain people, or perhaps all of the above, the time is right to set things straight.
Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 19) Who do you love and how and why? Answering these questions has already begun to take on added importance. A reflective period is indicated as you weigh your feelings and priorities so that you can give where it is most needed. Receiving in return is also important as you aim for fairness.
Aquarius (Jan 20 – Feb 19) A creative cycle continues. Positively, you are enjoying new approaches, tasks and strategies. Taking a constructively critical approach is featured and may prove increasingly necessary. These are all features of a larger theme of paying your dues, which can also be understood as building for the future.
Pisces (Feb 20 – Mar 20) The Cancer New Moon will activate a whole new round and quality of creative passion. It is supported by an urge to express your aesthetic sensibilities; to feel inspired by beauty. The emphasis is on your home and living environment. With awareness, you will uplift your home for the sake of higher living.

magine a hot fire, glowing molten ore and sparks flying from steel being forged into a new creation. This is the work done by blacksmiths at Mountain Forge, who have been forging metal since 1968. Founded by Hans Standteiner, the operation is now owned and operated by his son Toni and daughter-in-law Jennifer. Mountain Forge creates highend functional art and craft entry gates, railings, light fixtures and fireplace doors for residential homes. “Mountain Forge is the grandfather of the blacksmith industry here in Tahoe. We were the first, oldest and we’re the largest,” says Jennifer Standteiner. The blacksmiths at Mountain Forge still use traditional methods. They often begin their projects with pen and ink drawings. “We still do things the old-fashioned way. We forge with natural gas now instead of coal. We use power hammers instead of team strikers. This requires two people. One striking with hammers while one person holds the piece being manipulated,” she says. Everything is made by hand including the tools needed to craft their pieces. Journeymen come from around the world come to learn from the blacksmiths at Mountain Forge. In the last few years, Mountain Forge
has turned its attention and passion toward public art, leading the way for several art installations in the area. The family business collaborates with local and regional artists. “When we took over the business 20 years ago, we said, ‘You know what? What about just making art for art’s sake?’ I think that Mountain Forge really did a lot to kick off the public art movement in our community,” she says. One of their public art installations entitled “Time” is displayed by the Truckee Tahoe Airport on Soaring Way. “We’ve collaborated with Sara Smith to create an art piece for the aquatic center at the Truckee Rec Center and provided structural support for Troy Corliss’ flowers in the roundabout,” says Standteiner. They have collaborated with Italian artists Daniela Garofalo and Dominic Panziera of Arteclettica. The piece entitled “Individuality N. 1” has been displayed at the Reno Sculpture Festival, Burning Man and at a sculpture garden in San Diego. The piece will now live at Piper J Gallery in Truckee until it sells. Other art installations include a train platform located in Truckee River Regional Park entitled, “Bridging Communities.” “We teamed up with Truckee Donner Railroad Society, the Truckee Donner
“We see our job in the community as … helping and contributing to the overall landscape … And that means building up other artists. That means collaborating. That means drawing people in to do more incredible things in this community.” - Jennifer Standteiner
At the heart of this family business, they remain true to their blacksmith roots. “We are also the village blacksmith. We repair people’s broken deck furniture and trailer hitches — whatever needs to be done,” she says. Mountain Forge was recently awarded the contract to create the trophies for the Barracuda Championship at Old Greenwood in July and is currently working on future public art installations. | mtnforge.com/#1 n

he Washo are the Indigenous Native Americans who have lived at Lake Tahoe for thousands of years. Since the last glaciers receded, the Tahoe Basin has been the spiritual center of this peaceful society that revered bountiful dá’ aw aga for the game, fish, berries, seeds and medicinal plants it provided. The tribe spent their time in Tahoe and the surrounding area, leaving only when deep snow drove them out each winter, down into the high desert of present-day western Nevada. It was the encroachment of outsiders who exploited the natural resources of the region and forced the Washo from their beloved ancestral home. Washo is derived from the ancient name Washiw, later Wa She Shu, (plural), which means “the people.” According to “California Place Names,” a geographical dictionary written by Erwin G. Gudde, dá’ aw is the root word for lake, pronounced with a ‘t’ sound for the “d” and a glottal stop between the two letter pairings. Dá’ aw aga refers to Lake Tahoe specifically, but after contact with European-descent interlopers in the 1840s, and especially during the California Gold Rush, a plethora of new names were applied to the beautiful lake.
Origins of the name Tahoe
As a curious geographer, I found another intriguing possibility for the origin of the word Tahoe. The Great Basin-based Washo Tribe had contact with California Indians who would have warned them of the Spanish soldiers and missionaries who arrived in the late 1700s to establish a colonizing foothold in California. To develop their mission system, Indigenous people were captured and enslaved to work at the religious outposts where they would be force-fed Catholicism and the Spanish language. The Spanish word for steep cliff or cleft is Tajo, pronounced “Ta ho,” which accurately describes the geologic deep gorge filled with water that is the Tahoe Basin. Darrel Cruz, director of the Washo’s Tribal Historic Preservation Office, advised me that the Aboriginal Washo language predates Spanish, while also informing me that the tribe respectfully requests research regarding the tribe be vetted by his office before 40

publication, which I did. Most of the new appellations implemented by Anglo Americans did not gain traction and only a few appeared on contemporary maps. Others endured amid controversary. But once the name Tahoe, a mispronunciation of dá’ aw, was politicized in the mid-1850s, it became a quarrelsome issue for Californians and Nevadans. For decades it was a point of contention for cartographers, the Washo Nation, politicians, journalists and others who preferred the name Tahoe.
Frémont expedition’s influence
Historians credit Lieutenant John C. Frémont and Charles Preuss with being the first Anglos to see Lake Tahoe. On Valentine’s Day, February 14, 1844, Frémont, a topographical engineer and Preuss, an artist and cartographer, climbed a ridge and got a glimpse of the lake. Frémont wrote: “With Mr. Preuss, I ascended today the highest peak to the right [Red Lake Peak]; from which we had a beautiful view of a mountain lake at our feet…so entirely surrounded by mountains that we could not discover an outlet.” Although he only used mountain lake as a descriptive term, on the map attached to Frémont’s government report published in 1845, it bears the name Mountain Lake, but in the comprehensive rendering of their exploration, Map of Oregon and Upper California, drawn by Preuss and published in 1848, it is named Lake Bonpland. Amie Jacques Alexandre Bonpland was a French physician and botanist who accompanied Prussian-born explorer Alexander von Humboldt on a research expedition of South America and Mexico. Nevada’s Humboldt River is named after this acclaimed scientist who, in the early 1800s, presciently proposed the concept of plate tectonics and crustal evolution, along with the effects of human-induced climate change. Every stream, river and mountain in our region had names originating in Indigenous dialects, but Frémont’s influence on our modern etymology persisted. Mountain Lake and Salmon-Trout (Truckee) River did not endure, but Pyramid Lake and the Carson River bear names he bestowed.
Bigler: Politics at play

tain Lake. It seemed that almost everyone who saw the lake gave it a name. In 1853, California Surveyor General W. M. Eddy broached the name Bigler after John Bigler, recently elected as third governor of California. Lake Bigler was also proposed by Seneca H. Marlette (Marlette Lake), a civil engineer and the state’s next Surveyor General. Marlette and Sherman Day were surveying a wagon road over the Sierra from Placerville to the Carson Valley at the western edge of Utah Territory (Washo country). Day was a civil and mining engineer from Connecticut who would later serve in the California State Senate. It’s likely that Marlette and Day pitched the name as a form a political patronage for Gov. Bigler who commissioned the survey and secured the funding. That year a map was published with Bonpland renamed Lake Bigler. It wasn’t an official change yet, that would come in 1854, but it was now literally “on the map.” John Bigler was a Pennsylvania-born newspaper editor, lawyer and future diplomat who was elected in November 1851 and assumed duties on Jan. 8, 1852, his 47th birthday. Bigler had a hero’s reputation for leading an 1850 rescue effort from Placerville to Lake Valley (South Lake Tahoe) that saved a group of snowbound emigrants. Additionally, while others fled, Bigler, as Speaker of the Assembly, had remained in Sacramento to assist doctors and undertakers during the city’s 1850 cholera epidemic and contracted the disease himself but survived. Bigler beat his political opponent by little more than 1,000 votes, possibly
the closest gubernatorial election in state history. He was fervently anti-Chinese — as was a sizeable portion of the electorate and thus his victory — and did as much as he could to shut down the pipeline of “coolies” (laborers) from China. He resurrected the 1850 Foreign Miners Law, demanding $3 per month exclusively from Chinese miners. When the flow of Asian migrants failed to slow, however, Gov. Bigler signed into law a $50 tax per head for those entering California ports. That legislation was later ruled unconstitutional by the California Supreme Court. Bigler’s anti-Chinese rhetoric was supported by California’s Democrat-led legislature. In 1854, at the peak of his popularity, lawmakers paid homage to their admired leader by officially christening Lake Bigler. The governor, however, was not re-elected for a third term in November 1855 due to perceived fiscal mismanagement. In 1855, George H. Goddard, an English-born civil engineer, was conducting another wagon road survey on the Placerville-Carson Valley Road at which time he commented on the montane body of water: “There is no lake in California which, for beauty and variety of scenery, is to be compared to Bigler Lake.” Goddard was utilizing altitude and azimuth transits and chronometers to determine by astronomical observations the longitude and latitude of survey points on the route. Even so, the exact border between California and Nevada remained unresolved for decades. Read Part II in our next edition and at TheTahoeWeekly.com. n

S
teven “Cat” Coore has led Third World around the world as one of Jamaica’s all-time popular acts for the last 49 years. By combining elements of R&B, funk, pop, dancehall, rap, Latin and African music, the beloved group has long been one of the foremost innovators of reggae fusion while spreading a timeless message of resistance and hope. Third World shares the stage at the second annual Truckee Reggae Fest on June 24 and 25 with Bob’s son Ky-Mani Marley, Wailing Souls, Sister Carol, North Shore locals Pipe Down and many more. “We are looking forward to coming to Truckee,” says Coore. “We know that vibe and we know those runnings and we’re excited to be a part of what you’re doing.” Born in 1950, Coore’s earliest musical memories take him back to his Mummy who used to play Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong on her gramophone at their home in Kingston. He studied classical music on the cello before making the transition to electric guitar. By 12 years old, Coore was listening to The Beatles and The Rolling Stones when he formed a pickup band called The Alley Cats. “We all had the same love for the music going on at the time,” says Coore.
“All the guys on the street who could play a little bit put together a little band. We got the drums on hire purchase and had to borrow a couple amps for the first few gigs.”
“Reggae has always been a force of protest, a force of understanding, a force of change, a cause of the people. It’s also been a love story. It’s been a message of hope, a message of the future. And it has a worldwide impact as such.” - Cat Coore As the sounds of classic Jamaican music wafted from the ghetto across the gully from where he lived, Coore riffed and picked along with the enchanting bass lines of the day. He soon met the group Inner Circle whom he watched
and studied at a Kingston disco called the Tunnel. When their guitarist left to study medicine in New York, Coore stepped in from age 13 to 17. While the experience was certainly formative, Coore was always seeking something closer to his own sound. “I was inspired by Jimi Hendrix, Chicago and Blood, Sweat & Tears,” he says. “I wanted to be in a group doing more experimental stuff fusing with rock. Bob Marley’s ‘Catch a Fire‘ was a big inspiration for me. That was the first time I heard rock guitar used in reggae. It inspired a generation of guitarists behind me. I pride myself as one of the people who made great guitar solos in reggae a regular thing.” Coore created Third World with Inner Circle keyboardist Michael “Ibo” Cooper in 1973. Early in their career, the band toured Europe with Bob Marley and The Wailers. In 1976, Third World recorded their breakout record “96 Degrees in the Shade” (a reference to the Morant Bay Rebellion of 1865) in the same studio where The Wailers were making “Exodus.” Coore and Marley lived on the same road. “I remember the personal moments I spent with him,” says Coore. “It was just a really great friendship. It was almost an everyday thing. We were cohabitating with each other and being
close, sharing food, chasing the vibe, sharing weed, sharing music.” The band’s name was originally shortened from Sons of the Third World, an idea that came from the fact that Coore grew up in one of Jamaica’s prominent political families. “Jamaica was leading the frontlines of the Third World,” says Coore. “It was an awareness of what the Third World was and also the fact that we blended all of those musical forms together. Reggae has always been a force of protest, a force of understanding, a force of change, a cause of the people. It’s also been a love story. It’s been a message of hope, a message of the future. And it has a worldwide impact as such. Although we’re only [4,240] square miles and roughly 3 million people, we’ve been able to influence the world with our music. It goes to show — sometimes you may think you’re small, but you’re big.”| lateniteproductions.com n

ORGONE Funk is king in my world. The band Ghost Note is high on my must-see list. They look like they’ll bring some funky beats with a lot of rhythms. I can’t wait to see these guys. Ron Artis II has some funky soulful vibes. Also on my list is Blues guitarist Cedric Burnside. I checked out his videos and he has risen to the top on my list of must-notmisses. Little Stranger brings a dash of hip-hop to High Sierra and I want to catch this duo from Philly. My alt-bluegrass picks include Crying Uncle Bluegrass and Molly Tuttle. Crying Uncle Bluegrass blends bluegrass, jazz and original modern acoustic music with good vibes and energy. After perusing, the Americana all-female band, Ashleigh Flynn and The Riveters on their website, they, too, 42
are on my radar. Late Night Radio and Disco Biscuits are my picks for some electronic grooves. I caught The Nth Power at the last High Sierra and I loved their funky high energy. They will be offering a Steely
RONT ARTIS II Dan tribute, which should be super fun. More funk comes with the band Orgone and they never disappoint. Also, on my list is The War and Treaty. I recently caught the husband-and-wife duo at Winter Wondergrass Festival and look forward to seeing them again. I’ve had the opportunity to see California Honey Drops, Greensky Bluegrass and Lettuce numerous times. All always deliver a good show.

T
he music is good, the dancing is epic and summer festivals have arrived. When planning to attend a festival, one of the most important things to consider is hydration and nutrition. While many festivals have food vendors, other festivals such as Burning Man, practice radical self-reliance, i.e., bring your food and water. Vendor festival food ranges from the healthy to unhealthy and can be costly. That’s not saying I don’t enjoy a delicious slice of pizza at 1 a.m. after dancing. Many veteran festivalgoers bring their own meals. Having healthy choices on hand is the way to go, especially if it’s easy and light. Salty food works well in the summer heat. Electrolytes are also good to pack.
Simple breakfast
Overnight oats, breakfast burritos with eggs, cheese, breakfast meat, yogurt, granola and berries provide a solid base to begin the long day ahead. Fresh stone fruit is also good. Keep it simple. Traveling to a festival with a camp stove is a win-win. A breakfast of eggs, bacon or sausage always works — and coffee is imperative.
Avoid the heat of cooking
Cooking during the height of the day for lunch isn’t recommended. Bowltype meals are easy and delicious. Start with crunchy vegetables (chopped carrots, celery and roasted beets), add
a protein (cooked chicken) with fresh cilantro and serve over a grain base (brown rice or quinoa). Bring a side of vinaigrette dressing to add to the veggie bowls. These types of meals hold up well in a cooler. Lettuce doesn’t necessarily do well in the heat, but if it’s something you crave, pack it on the top of the cooler and eat it earlier in the trip. Sandwiches make festival life a breeze. Bacon, lettuce and tomato; peanut butter and jelly; or cheese and crackers are easy to grab and hold up well in a cooler. Hummus and veggies are also a top choice to keep in the cooler with guacamole, salsa and chips. Dried fruit and nuts, protein bars, jerky and a jar of peanut butter are all essential to pack because they provide extra protein. While chips aren’t the healthiest, I always bring a few bags. They are tasty and salty. Salt and vinegar chips are my favorite.
Camp stove essential
When it comes to dinner, bringing a camp stove makes preparing meals easy. Grilling sausages, meat and chicken are easy and provides excellent protein. Precooked grilled vegetables are easy to warm up and have with dinner. There have been times I’ve made Thai curry with lots of vegetables and rice noodles. It is a bit more work but a delicious and satisfying option. A rotisserie chicken can make festival life a lot easier. Take
the meat off the bone (it generates less trash). Store chicken in a plastic bag. Serve it over salad (kale holds up well) or rice with grilled vegetables.
A frozen gallon jug of water helps keep your cooler extra cold and you can drink it when it melts. Cooler tips
Packing your cooler is the key. Keep it cold. Pack lots of ice. A frozen gallon jug of water helps keep your cooler extra cold and you can drink it when it melts. Vegetables should be individually packed in bags. Avoid vegetables such as cucumbers or eat them in the first day or so. They don’t hold up well in the heat. Watermelon is excellent and refreshing. Chill it at home and put it in your cooler. It stays better if kept whole until ready to eat. Keep meats and perishables next to the ice and make sure you keep them cold. Have a separate cooler for beverages. It’s good to limit how often you open your cooler, too. If you’re partying for days, it’s essential to hydrate and eat as well as possible. n 45

he South Shore offers many options for boat-in dining from Zephyr Cove on the east side to the historic Camp Richardson on the west side. The boat taxi that runs between Round Hill Pines, Lakeside, Timber Cove and Camp Richardson marinas is closed this year due to low water but is a great way to enjoy dining by boat in the future. As well, the Boathouse on the Pier at Timber Cove is temporarily closed due to a fire in May; check back later in the summer to visit this over-the-water restaurant.
