flavor From the Publisher

BREATHE IN THE MOUNTAIN AIR, RELAX & ENJOY Start every day in Tahoe by taking in the mountain air, recognizing this amazing and wonderful place that you find yourself in for a day or a lifetime, relaxing from the day-to-day stresses of life and work, and enjoy your time in Tahoe.

I would also add to be mindful. Be mindful of the blessings in your life, be mindful of what brought you to Tahoe, be mindful of your friends and family, and be mindful of those around you – the barista making your coffee, the waiter at dinner, the cars next to you in traffic trying to merge, the people at the farmers’ market with you, the visiting tourists, and, for goodness sake, the pedestrians trying to cross the street.

I see too many locals and visitors stressed out over traffic and lines at the ice cream parlor, jostling for the peaches at the farmers’ market, needless pushing and shoving, and all of those cars blowing through cross walks.

Remember this slice of paradise where you find yourself today, and give thanks to whatever circumstances brought you here. Then, be thankful for those around you – whether local or tourists – and remember that we’re all here together, in paradise, and it’s wonderful. Be thankful, relax and enjoy. 

ON THE COVER

… the mighty Sierra, miles in height, and so gloriously colored and so radiant, it seemed not clothed with light but wholly composed of it, like the wall of some celestial city... Then it seemed to me that the Sierra should be called, not the Nevada or Snowy Range, but the Range of Light.

LAKE TAHOE

How the lake was formed

About 3 to 5 million years ago, the valley that would become the Tahoe Basin sank between parallel fractures in the Earth’s crust as the mountains on either side continued to rise. A shallow lake began to form in the resulting valley.

Roughly 2 to 3 million years ago, erupting volcanoes blocked the outlet, forcing the lake to rise hundreds of feet above its current elevation, and eventually eroded down to near its current outlet.

Between 1 million and 20,000 years ago, large masses of glacial ice covered the west side of the Tahoe Basin. Current geologic theory suggests an earthen berm (moraine) left by a receding glacier near Olympic Valley acted as a dam, causing the lake level to rise and then draw down rapidly when the dam catastrophically failed. Between

7,000 and 15,000 years ago, a four-mile segment of the West Shore collapsed into the Lake causing a massive submerged debris avalanche, widening the Lake by three miles and creating McKinney Bay.1 The Tahoe Basin is mostly granite, with little topsoil, and therefore few nutrients have washed into the lake to promote the growth of algae and other organisms that make water murky.

As well, 40 percent of the precipitation falling into the Tahoe Basin lands directly on the lake. The remaining precipitation drains through the decomposed granite soil found in marshes and meadows, creating a good filtering system for water.

Urbanization of the Tahoe Basin has eliminated 75 percent of its marshes, 50 percent of its meadows and 35 percent of its steam zone habitats. About 85 percent of all wildlife in the Tahoe Basin use these habitats.

About the lake Lake Tahoe is located in the states of California and Nevada, with two-thirds in California. It is fed by 63 streams and two hot springs.

The Truckee River is Tahoe’s only outlet and flows from the dam in Tahoe City east through Reno and eventually drains into Pyramid Lake in the Nevada desert.

However, water releases are not permitted when the lake surface level falls below the natural rim at 6,223.’ The lowest lake level on record (measured since 1900) was 6,220.26’ on Nov. 30, 1992.

The Lake of the Sky appears blue in color as other colors in the light spectrum are absorbed and blue light is scattered back.

Lake clarity The University of California, Davis, operates the Tahoe Environmental Resarch Center, which monitors, among other

things, the clarity of Lake Tahoe. Clarity has been measured since 1968 and was first recorded at 102.4’.

The waters of Lake Tahoe were clear to an average depth of 73.1’ in 2015. The lowest average depth on record was 64.1’ in 1997. Lake Tahoe is losing clarity because of algae growth fueled by nitrogen and phosphorus.

Lake Tahoe’s discovery The first recorded discovery of Lake Tahoe by white explorers was on Feb. 14, 1844, when John Charles Frémont and Charles Preuss spotted the lake from atop Red Lake Peak. The lake went through several names before it was officially named Tahoe in 1945.

Tahoe is a mispronunciation of the first two syllables of the Washoe’s word for the lake – Da ow a ga, which means “edge of the lake.” 

T time visitor should do while at Tahoe. here are a few things that every first-

Drive all the way around the lake, enjoy one of Tahoe’s great beaches, dine along the shore, take a hike or a mountain bike ride into the forest and, most importantly, get out on the lake.

While Tahoe is magnificent from any angle, to capture its true essence, you need to be on the water. I fulfill that need by paddleboarding or kayaking, but it’s always nice to see a big chunk of the lake from up high on the deck of one of Tahoe’s cruise boats, such as the “MS Dixie II.” Not only is the “MS Dixie II” the largest boat on Lake Tahoe, it is said to be the largest craft ever to ply the waters of the lake.

What that means is that it has a daytime cruise capacity of up to 500 people, with a dinner cruise maximum of 300. The two outdoor decks and indoor seating provide enough room for everyone. There are also two bars that provide drinks and lunches on the scenic day cruises and a full-dinner service on the sunset dinner cruise.

I recently hopped aboard the “MS Dixie II” and soon discovered its size has one advantage. The sun was glorious and the temperature was perfectly situated in the high 70s, but the wind was howling, creating a steady stream of white caps. In those conditions, small crafts are better

off staying ashore. On the “MS Dixie II,” however, the boat wasn’t rocking a bit.

The ride was smooth and comfortable.

I strongly recommend taking an “MS Dixie II” cruise. Arrive early, as the prime seats get grabbed quickly. I found myself in a ticket snafu, which involved a bit of 8

sprinting back and forth between lodge and the ticket booth as employees tried to locate my boarding pass. By the time they worked it out I was just about the last person on board, which meant there was not an outdoor seat to be had. No worries, I enjoyed the view standing up and had the freedom to roam. But if you want a seat, don’t dilly-dally.

The “MS Dixie II” provides commentary on the natural and human history of the lake as you cruise. It is informative and

well written. Mark Twain performer McAvoy Layne is a frequent visitor on the cruise, but he didn’t make an appearance on my trip. Tahoe information is just the icing on the cake, what this tour is really about is relaxing for 2½ hours and enjoying amazing and unique views of Lake Tahoe.

Departing from Zephyr Cove, which is about 4 miles north of Stateline, has several benefits. If you are used to being on the North or South shores, you see the terrain from a different angle, and the

long trek directly across the lake allows you to truly appreciate the immense size of Lake Tahoe.

The highlight of the tour, of course, is Emerald Bay. Heading into the wind and sun as you sit some 30 feet off the water gives a perspective of the bay that you can’t get anywhere else. It makes this trip worth the price of admission.

The “MS Dixie II” departs at 11 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. for Emerald Bay cruises. At 6 p.m. there is a sunset dinner cruise. (See the Web site for current schedules.)

If you want to skip the drive and the $8 parking fee at the Zephyr Cove Resort, you can catch a shuttle from some locations. Be sure to arrive about one-half hour before cruise time to get your boarding pass. If you are hungry before or after the cruise, you can dine at the Zephyr Cove Lodge or eat outside at the Sunset Bar and Grille.  For information on cruises and to make reservations, visit zephyrcove.com.

The area is named for the small caves above Highway 50 that were cut by waves when Lake Tahoe was 200 feet higher during the ice ages.

Donner Summit

Truckee

Donner Summit, just west of Truckee, holds the record for the United States’ snowiest April. On April 1, 1880, a storm dumped 4’ of snow on the Sierra Nevada west slope within 24 hours. A massive snow slide near Emigrant Gap buried Central Pacific Railroad’s tracks under 75’ of snow, ice and rock. For the rest of the month, storm cycles continued to flow in, dropping a total of 298”.

R a fun guy to play golf with. I will never obert Muir Graves must have been

know, but my guess is that he loved a good, challenging par 4 with natural obstacles and he always took a few minutes to admire the view from the tee box.

I’ll be the first to admit that I don’t know much about golf course design and I haven’t played a lot of the courses that Graves designed in California. However, if you’re up for a good time at a reasonable price, the 18-hole, par-72 Northstar Golf Course is one of his best.

This 6,781-yard course offers a classic front nine that takes you through Martis Valley, playing adjacent to the scenic Waddle Ranch Preserve, which sits across the highway, and then turns into the pines and tightens up for a challenging and precise back nine that may require an extra ball (or three).

But before you get into the trees, be sure to take some time to enjoy the views that Graves designed around on the front nine — especially on the super-long, 590-yard, par 5, seventh hole where you can square up facing Castle Peak and Mount Lola and send it home, hoping for a solid 250 yards (maybe 300 if you’re lucky) off the tee.

OLD BROCKWAY GOLF COURSE est. 1924

LAKE TAHOE GOLFING TRADITION Known as the best golfing value at the lake

Hole 2, and later on hole 18, will also call for everything your driver has, but it’s lucky hole 7 that will settle who pays for the drinks.

Holes 8 and 9 bring you back up the valley and around to the clubhouse and Martis Valley Grille before heading into Northstar’s tree-lined fairways – where there is little room on this natural-flowing course to accept my slice or your hook.

“This 6,781-yard course offers a classic front nine that takes you through Martis Valley … and then turns into the pines and tightens up for a challenging and precise back nine that may require an extra ball (or three).”

And it’s on the downhill par 3, hole 15 and par 4, hole 16 where you’ll want to try and make up the shots you may have lost earlier in the day in the valley.

Finally, don’t let the tight takeoff on the 18th hole scare you. There is a wide-open fairway once you get across that creek and a large, welcoming green at the other end.

You’ll make it, I promise.

For all of its variety, Northstar California offers a great Tahoe golf experience and it is one of the best places to take clients, a work group, visiting family members or to simply get out for a few lessons with the PGA pros on staff and work on correcting that slice.

After 4 p.m., 18 holes will cost you $50 Mondays through Thursdays and $55 Fridays through Sundays. Prices vary depending on times and days of the week.  For more information or to book a tee time, visit northstarcalifornia.com or call (530) 562-3290.

Swimming for clean water Lake Tahoe Scott Kaloust, an orthodontist from Menlo Park, will attempt to swim 21 miles across Lake Tahoe on July 22. According to Kaloust, he had planned to complete the feat in 2013, but postponed because of the smoky air from the Yosemite fire.

Although, he is an experienced longdistance swimmer — he swam across the 20-mile Catalina Channel in 2014 — he concedes that the high elevation and cold temperature of Lake Tahoe will be extra challenging. He expects the nonstop swim to take him about 12 hours. He will not wear a wetsuit or get on a boat when taking water and food. In order to compare times with past swimmers, he cannot use technology that wasn’t available in the past.

Kaloust’s swim is a fundraiser for Water. org, for clean water in areas that do not have any. | give.water.org

Fishing

C AT C H A N D R E L E A S E STORY & PHOTOS

BY BRUCE AJARI

Licenses are required in California and Nevada for 16 years and older. Temporary licenses are available. California (916) 928-5822 or dfg.ca.gov; Nevada (866) 703-4605 or ndow.org. Licenses are available at most hardware stores.

California Department of Fish and Game holds Free Fishing Days on July 2 and Sept. 3, with Nevada’s Free Fishing Day on June 11.

LAKE TAHOE Fishing is closed in Lake Tahoe within 300 feet of its tributaries and upstream to the first lake from Oct. 1 to June 30. Lake Tahoe is open year-round from 1 hour before sunrise to 2 hours after sunset. No fishing is allowed within 300 feet of the mouth of any stream. Most Sierra lakes are open all year.

No fish may be used for bait or possessed for use as bait in Lake Tahoe, Fallen Leaf Lake or Donner Lake, unless taken from that lake. Live bait in these lakes is limited to: Lahontan redside shiner, Tui chub, Tahoe sucker, Lahontan mountain sucker, Piute sculpin and Lahontan speckled dace. Chumming is illegal. There is a two-fish limit on Mackinaws, and a limit of five fish on Lake Tahoe.

Avoid fishing during times of mirror-like calm, unless fishing deep for Mackinaw. Even a slight surface riffle will break up shadows on the bottom and will partially obliterate the angler from view. Use a light monofilament line. Use long line for trolling or make long casts if fishing from shore.

Fishing for Rainbows from the shore is best May through July. If you’re on the North Shore, the Kings Beach and Lake Forest areas are planted throughout the summer. Cave Rock on the East Shore of the lake is a good location for Rainbow and Brown.

• If the fish is hooked deeply, cut the line as close to the fish as you can.

• Use two hands to support the fish. One hand near the head and the other around the tail. Don’t squeeze the fish. Most sensitive organs, the heart, gills and liver, are near the pectoral fins.

• Try and keep them wet.

For more information on the Keep ‘Em Wet campaign, visit nativefishsociety.org. 

TRUCKEE REGION

BOCA RESERVOIR Boca is good for early and late shore fishing and is popular for trolling for Rainbow, Brown and Brook.

DONNER LAKE Brown and Rainbow can be expected when shore fishing with good spots at the boat ramp or the west end of the beach. Mackinaws can be found in the shallows during the early season.

FISHING REPORT (See Sightseeing for water levels)

MARTIS CREEK RESERVOIR Rainbow, Brown and Lahontan cutthroat trout. Catch and release only using artificial lures with barbless hooks and no bait. No motorized boats.

PROSSER CREEK RESERVOIR

Leslie Ajari demonstrates how to keep fish wet.

Among the best trout fishing in California, especially for Rainbow and Brown.

STAMPEDE RESERVOIR Holds a large number of trophy class Rainbow and Brown trout. Shore fishing nets Browns and Rainbow, with Kokanee when trolling.

TRUCKEE RIVER At Lake Tahoe’s only outlet in Tahoe City, fishing is closed year-round from the dam in Tahoe City to 1,000 feet downstream. Certain other sections of the Truckee are closed year-round. Check fishing regulations.

Fish the deep pools during the early part of the season.

Best bets are to fish the section of the river between Tahoe City and River Ranch (Hwy. 89 and Alpine Meadows Road).

TAHOE REGION

M

any anglers have chosen to take up the practice of catch-and-release fishing. The reason can be attributed to special regulations or personal preference.

Anglers also want to document their catch and often do so by taking that “hero shot” or “grip and grin” photograph or digital image for posterity. This has led to a new campaign entitled “Keep “Em Wet,” sponsored by the Native Fish Society.

BACK COUNTRY

ECHO LAKES Just a short drive off of Highway 50 in South Lake Tahoe, try both boat and shore fishing here. Shore fishing is usually good from the dam. Please respect the rights of private property and homeowners around the lake.

FALLEN LEAF LAKE The best fishing is from a boat, but occasionally fish can be taken from the shore with a good cast. The lake is a short walk from Fallen Leaf Lake Road or Fallen Leaf Campground.

Fishing within 250 feet of the dam is illegal.

There are more than 20,000 surface acres of lakes and more than 1,500 miles of streams and rivers to fish in the Tahoe National Forest. Fish early in the morning or just before dusk, when the fish are feeding on the surface close to shore. There are 23 species of fish in the Tahoe region, 15 of which are considered game fish.

The lakes are stocked with fingerlings that grow to catchable size. It is illegal to use minnows for bait in mountain lakes and streams.

PRIVATE LAKES

SAWMILL POND A stocked pond for children 15 years of age and younger.

Adults are allowed to help children fish, but not allowed to fish themselves. The pond is located 1 mile south of South Lake Tahoe along Lake Tahoe Boulevard.

“Taking a picture while the fish is in the water limits the amount of time the fish spends out of water and the amount of handling it has to endure.”

We have long known that there is a hooking mortality associated with the catch-and-release process. This mortality varies depending on what study you read. As anglers, we can limit this mortality by properly releasing fish.

We may all feel good about releasing fish.

The truth is that many of the fish you release may not make it if improperly handled. They may swim off, only to die later.

The Keep ‘Em Wet campaign suggests we keep the fish in the water. Taking a picture while the fish is in the water limits the amount of time the fish spends out of water and the amount of handling it has to endure. As a result, the hooking mortality goes down and the fish are much more likely to survive the experience.

If you must pick a fish out of the water to take a picture, do so quickly. You should see water dripping from the fish if this is done quickly. Ten seconds should be more than enough time if the photographer is ready.

However, the better option is to keep the fish in the water while it is photographed. Why not give the fish a better chance for survival so it can give another angler the opportunity?

Here are some suggestions to insure that you give the fish the best chance of survival when you are releasing it.

• Use single barbless hooks for easy hook removal.

• Play the fish as quickly as you can.

• Use a net to quickly land the fish. One with rubber netting is best. Avoid nylon.

• Wet hands before handling the fish so as not to remove the fish’s protective slime. This slime is a fish’s protection against bacteria.

Boca Reservoir | Inflow is at 80 cfs and the outflow is 80 cfs. Powerbait, nightcrawlers and lures are all working. Fly-fishers have been catching some fish near the inlet with nymphs, streamers and dries.

Donner Lake | Fishing has been fair to good.

Kokanee fishing has been good although the fish are small. Nightcrawlers and Powerbait seem to be the main bait. Mackinaw fishing has been good. Flyfisherers are catching some fish with streamers.

Lake Tahoe | All tributaries are closed to all

fishing until Sept 30. Fishing has been fair to good for mackinaw. A guide is highly recommended if you are fishing for mackinaw for the first time.

Toplining and shore fishing are fair. Most shore anglers use inflated nightcrawlers.

Little Truckee River | The flow is at 80 cfs. Be prepared to share the water with a lot of anglers.

This river has been busy this season. With the water at this level, nymphs and dries have both been working. Hatches are similar to those in Truckee River. In addition, green drakes should be showing.

Martis Lake | Zero kill. Catch and release only with barbless artificial lures or flies. Fishing is best early in the season and again in fall.

Smallmouth bass are now part of the fishery.

Prosser Reservoir | Fishing has been fair to good. Anglers using bait, lures and flies have all caught fish. Fly-fishers have done well near the inlet areas. Bass fishing has been fair.

Stampede Reservoir | Fishing has been fair to good from shore. The ramp is available to launch most boats. Nightcrawlers, Powerbait and lures have all produced from shore. Flyfishers have been doing well near the inlets with nymphs and streamers. The Kokanee fishing has been fair to good for those getting out.

Smallmouth bass fishing has been fair.

Truckee River | It is not flowing out of the lake

at Tahoe City. The flows through Truckee are at 233 cfs. Great early season flows in the river. Fishing has been good. Caddis imitations, PMD, Little Yellow Stones and streamers are working. This is special regulation, artificial-only-with-barbless-hook water.

Catch-and-release fishing is encouraged, but an angler may keep two fish with a minimum size of 14 inches during the regular trout season.

Davis and Frenchman lakes | Both are

now if full swing. Boat, shore and fly anglers are catching fish. Reports from Davis are fair. The damelflies are still going well, but the fish have become selective. Blood midge and Callibaetis imitations are producing. Frenchman fishing has been good. Try the same hatches as in Davis.

July 14-20, 2016

MUSIC, MOVES & CONSCIOUS BEATS AT WANDERLUST S T O R Y B Y P R I YA H U T N E R

ne of the highlights of Wanderlust Festival is the music and this year is no different. There is something for everyone offered at this festival from reggae, experimental rock, funk and blues, kirtan, to live electronic DJ sets and more. Genre-bending lines blur as the sounds of consciousness and love vibrate throughout Olympic Valley.

Here East meets West as electronica collides with kirtan, hip hop mashes with mantras, and world beat merges music with messages of peace, love and understanding.

Jaya Lakshmi and Ananda’s chanting is a heart-opening experience. Whether they are chanting Hindu kirtan or Kundalini Yoga or offering their Kirtronica experience, a fusion of their sound is ecstatic, ethereal and enlightening.

Lakshmi studied with her guru, Srila Govinda Maharaj, while living in Hawaii.

Her journey led her to write songs and sing devotional chants. She was the lead singer and songwriter for the technotribal group, Lost at Last, before meeting Ananda. Ananda found his way through Kundalini Yoga while studying at the University of Oregon.

“I fell in love with Kundalini Yoga and was taking 2 to 4 classes a week,” says Ananda who has been practicing for the last 11 years. The couple began playing together in 2010. Ananda sings, plays guitar, harmonium and bansuri flute, and Lakshmi plays harmonium and guitar and sings.

Chanting to open the heart is a beautiful thing, the duo says. “That’s the bottom line. I feel like my belief system

is so open. I am open to god, I am open to the spirit, whatever you call it, the form, formless, or nature,” offers Lakshmi, who also finds resonance with the Native American path.

“It’s all about being in the moment with god and whatever is coming through,” says Lakshmi. “Our vision is first and foremost about connection, divine connection. Breaking down barriers. There is no separation,” says Ananda. Jaya Lakshmi and Ananda will be offering numerous workshops, classes and offerings such as a Kirtonica Dance experience, a yoga flow and Kirtonica workshop, a singing and mantra workshop, and a sacred Cacao Ceremony.

CROSS-CULTURAL FUTURISTIC EXPERIENCE Beats Antique hits the late night on Friday with their electronic and experimental world fusion music. The acclaimed musical trio is compromised of David Satori, Tommy Cappel and Zoe Jakes. The band is theatrical and mind bending. Jakes dancing is hypnotic.

“It’s a cross-cultural futuristic experience, a mosaic of future and ancient celebration smashed into one party,” Satori said when asked to describe their sound.

“We dabble in everything and not one genre. We elicit music that is playful and try styles and music from different cultures from around the world. We like to find new pieces of music. It’s a cultural mash-up.”

“We experiment with performance art, we’re absurdists’, we are zany, having fun and do not take ourselves too seriously,”

“Genre-bending lines blur as the sounds of consciousness and love vibrate throughout Olympic Valley.” says Satori, of the band that has been together for 10 years. Satori admittedly considers himself a jack-of-all-trades, which he says is one of his strengths, enabling him to see the big picture Their recent release “Killer Bee” from their upcoming album “Shadowbox” is new and fun. The band worked with Lafa Taylor on the project.

“It’s delving back into our old hip hop world that is within us,” explains Satori. The official video, which was also just released, promotes sustainable bee practices and sends a strong and important message about prejudice and bullying. “It’s up to us to decide who we are and not let others or society tell us.”

(See the video at TheTahoeWeekly.com.)

“The yoga community is open, selfaware and in their hearts it’s always a good time on the dance floor,” says Satori of their upcoming show at Wanderlust.

Satori has been practicing yoga for the last 13 years. “We love Tahoe and always grateful to play in such a beautiful setting,” says Satori.

Upbeat, serious and full of love, check out the slew of artists bringing the conscious beats to Wanderlust and come dance to the music. For more information, visit wanderlust.com/festivals/squaw-valley. 

WANDERLUST TAHOE OPENING YOUR MIND, BODY & SOUL S T O R Y B Y P R I YA H U T N E R · P H O T O S C O U R T E S Y WA N D E R L U S T

he Wanderlust Festival offers an opportunity to dip your toes into the many flowing waters of traditional practice from basics to esoteric to newer incarnations of yoga. For some, yoga is a means of exercise while others want to experience the depth of where yoga can take the practitioner.

“I teach the practice of learning how to surrender to love. Intimate relationships are about embodying

BUILDING HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS Bryan Reeves is a relationship coach and author that focuses on sexuality and intimacy issues in relationships. A former Air Force Captain he was unhappy with his life. He gave his things away and went on a walkabout into the world. It was during that journey he had an awakening of sorts and went from military soldier to spiritual warrior.

“There is a culture of checked out men who haven’t had good role models for their masculinity. My own father was checked out. Often we wonder into adulthood without any guidance. There are generations of men that are lost,” explains Reeves.

“Most men don’t know how to show up for women. They live in a fog of confusion,” says Reeves, who offers a map for both sexes to lead healthier more fulfilling relationships.

“Women are more connected to their feeling heart but they suffer more overtly.

What I’ve learned through my own life journey is to wake up to my highest masculine purpose, to serve love. The feminine energy is that love that cuts through and radiates love. There is a need for feminine quality in leadership at this time,” says Reeves.

“All of us have a heart dying to know how to love. I teach the practice of learning how to surrender to love. Intimate relationships are about embodying what it means to be present and show up for love. We need to love ourselves first and accept our flaws in our self,” he explains.

what it means to be present and show up for love. We need to love ourselves first and accept our flaws in our self.”

–Bryan Reeves

Traditional yoga like Hatha yoga offers the basics of practice while Iyengar yoga offers a more precision-based alignment and Ashtanga is a more powerful yoga practice, and they can all be found at Wanderlust. Acroyoga, asana with electronica and variations of modern twists on yoga that have evolved are also available.

Intimidated? Don’t be. There is something to be said about trying something unique that might stretch your yogic chops at Wanderlust being held from July 14 to 17. Consider Kundalini Yoga, known as the yoga of awareness, or delve into an introduction to Tantra, the practice of deepening consciousness through channeling divine feminine energy with complete presence, both practices incorporate physical asana, breathing techniques, meditation and mantra.

“We have no boyhood to manhood rituals like many indigenous cultures do,” says Reeves. He says that there are three stages in the evolution of love and most men get stuck in stage one which creates an imbalance of masculine and feminine energies. Reeves understands that men with unresolved mother issues, Peter Pan Syndrome and the inability to commit to a deeper level of intimacy are indicators that we as a culture need to wake up in this arena.

Reeves will offer a workshop entitled, “Love, Sex and Magic Making in Relationships.” He will teach about masculine and feminine dynamics and how awareness can transform intimate relationships. “Being your most authentic self, speaking and living your deepest truth is the key to creating the profound intimacy your deepest heart desires,” says Reeves. “My ultimate desire is to help us remember we are partners not adversaries, and look at how do we really love and have intimate relationships,” he adds.

July 14-20, 2016

WAKE UP AND BE AWARE Gurumukh Khalsa is world-renowned Kundalini Yoga teacher. She’s been teaching yoga for almost a half of a century.

Kundalini Yoga embodies the practice of white Tantra. For her it is a way to live, to makes sense and have a purpose in life.

When it comes to yoga she says, “If have to do the practice, you can’t just talk about it, you have to do the work.”

Her teacher Yogi Bhajan never taught anything twice, explains Khalsa. This enables her to teach new material that is fresh and relevant. “I never know what I am going to say when I teach.” She says.

“When you raise kundalini, a gradual awakening occurs. Kundalini Yoga is like a recipe for awakening, it raises kundalini energy. When you come into consciousness you know it right away and you want to get back to it. It is a place of peace and happiness,” says Khalsa.

Khalsa rises before the sun comes up, thanks god, works hard and practices yoga and meditation daily. Her recipe is, “Be committed, be self-disciplined, serve other people and do the practice. When we feel disconnected it is really painful. I take responsibility in my life to be connected.”

Khalsa will teach three Kundalini Yoga classes during the event.

EMBODYING YOGA WITH PRESENCE Dawn Cartwright is a tantric visionary, sacred writer, world traveler and innovator in bio-energetic Tantra fusion, and works with people on a deep level exploring how they can be more connected and aware. Cartwright is offering a Tantric Speakeasy talk, “The True Potential of Sex: Sex Actualization.”

FEATURE

There are many tantric paths, Cartwright teaches red Tantra, which the Tantra of sexual practice. She helps both men and women, young and old, explore each other through what she terms pleasure mapping. “It is accessible to everyone.

The tantric path offers permission to be fully open. It’s true sexuality from within,” she says.

Breathing, exercises, visualization are part of her tantric teachings and practice but Cartwright imparts esoteric tantric teachings and takes them to a new level with a practical understanding for a mainstream world.

Wanderlust is a festival with a multitude of choices. It’s a four-day exploration of yoga, meditation and spirituality offered by leading teachers, as well as some of Tahoe’s own yoga teachers. In addition, there will be outdoor adventures, music, food and connection. 

For more information, visit wanderlust. com/festivals/squaw-valley.

Tantra is a direct experience of the ultimate oneness through life experience.

“Tantra is an experiential. It’s about living and embodying the practice,” Cartwright explains. “It pushes us to get out of our comfort zone. It’s a process in which we learn to truly be ourselves, to be who we are. It’s about opening to that trust.” It was during a mystical sexual experience more than 20 years ago that hooked her to the soul and cracked her heart open and led her on her journey teaching, she says.

TAHOE CROSS COUNTRY All levels | Varied terrain Tahoe Cross Country offers marked mountain biking and hiking trails in the Burton Creek State Park area just north of Tahoe City. Trail access is free and the terrain is ideal for beginner and intermediate mountain bikers. Advanced riders can find challenging terrain on the Tahoe Rim Trail and around Mount Watson. (530) 583-5475 | tahoexc.org. Bus.

WESTERN STATES TRAIL Strenuous | 11.6 miles RT This is a challenging and exhilarating ride (sometimes referred to as Three Bridges Trail) that will afford you a fun downhill swoop and beautiful mountain views. You can ride it either way, starting on either side of the Mid-way Bridge between Alpine Meadows and Olympic Valley off Hwy. 89.

(209) 258-7277 | kirkwood.com The mountain bike park offers a network of lift-accessed trails for all levels with 22 trails in the valley, and 12 accessed by the lift, with 11.5 miles of single track. The bike park features log rides, pump tracks and other terrain features.

MR. TOADS WILD RIDE Moderate-Strenuous | 6.2 miles Mr. Toad’s heads mostly downhill from the Tahoe Rim Trail with several options for making a loop. The upper section of this trail is much more technical than either section of the TRT and has many big drops and sections of nothing but rocks. There is also a huge stair step section that comes up on you quickly.

BMX TRACK

FLUME TRAIL Strenuous | 14 miles There are several mountain biking trails off the Flume Trail, but if you follow the Flume Trail the whole way you will be rewarded with magnificent views of Lake Tahoe and the surrounding Sierra. The Flume Trail rises 1,600’ above the East Shore of Lake Tahoe. At the end of the Flume Trail, there is a 3-mile, 1,600’ descent down to Tunnel Creek Station on Hwy. 28. It is a moderately difficult ride at 7,000’ to 8,000’ in elevation with more than 1,000’ of climbing and 4.5-miles of single track. It has several steep sections.

Shuttle available at Tunnel Creek Café off Hwy. 28 in Incline Village to Spooner Lake State Park. Info (775) 2982501. Call for shuttle schedule.

MOUNT ROSE TO SPOONER LAKE Strenuous | 20 miles The beginning of this beautiful section of the Tahoe Rim Trail is at 8,700’ above the Sheep Flats (aka Tahoe Meadows) on Mount Rose. The first part of the trail parallels the highway and then descends through the meadows and briefly joins the Ophir Creek trail. Look for Rim Trail signs, then after a quarter-mile up and to the right of the Ophir Creek trail (don’t stay on the Ophir Creek Trail). After a 300’ climb out of the meadows, you begin to contour your way to the Tunnel Creek road. At 9 miles, you will come to the Tunnel Creek Road. Follow it a half-mile with the Flume Trail on the right. Continue straight for an 800’ switch-backing climb.

Near the top of the climb, consider taking the vista trail to the Sand Harbor overlook.

Once at the top, the trail winds down past the Marlette Peak campground to Hobart Road. The Rim Trail past this point is closed to bikes, so your only path back to Spooner is along this road to the right and down to Marlette Lake.

A short, but tough climb leads out of the Marlette basin and then it is downhill back to Spooner Lake. Mind the speed on this descent due to heavy equestrian and hiking use.

Shuttle (775) 298-2501. Call for schedule.

Learning to be present in the moment ANN MARIE SHERIDAN S T O R Y B Y P R I YA H U T N E R · P H O T O S B Y C O U R T L E V E

nn Marie Sheridan fell in love with yoga at an early age and never turned back. She has been practicing and teaching for the last 22 years. Sheridan initially came to Tahoe to rock climb and opened Namaste Holistic Healing & Yoga Center in 2011.

“I wanted an affordable, non-intimidating place for people to practice yoga and a peaceful place for health practitioners to practice their healing techniques,” explains Sheridan, who is also a massage therapist and musician.

As a massage therapist, Sheridan says that people have profound experiences with massage that help them not only physically, but emotionally and energetically.

“It’s a way for them to process the whole of their being while being worked on,” she says.

For Sheridan, yoga and massage go hand in hand, creating stability and flexibility.

“I don’t believe that one modality can deal with everything,” she adds.

“As a business owner, I have learned incredible lessons. I’ve learned not to be afraid to ask for help and that was a big one for me. My biggest fear was to open a business and be so overwhelmed it would take away from the quality of my teaching,” she explains. “I am so grateful to be doing what I love in this beautiful place.”

Sheridan has been playing music for as long as she’s been practicing yoga. Music was a creative outlet that was healing for her as a teenager; it inspired her creativity and confidence. Although, yoga is her lifelong journey, her love for music is equally part of who she is.

Sheridan says that music can evoke a certain rawness. “The songs I write capture a moment in time when I might have

“ I am so grateful to be doing what I love in this beautiful place.” being going through some pretty raw experiences and some pretty emotionally driven lyrics come out of that. It reminds me where I came from and it reminds me how intense emotions can be in that moment,” she says.

“We listen to other songs and artists and lyrics and the sound of notes and how the music is flowing together,” she continues. “We place ourselves in somebody else’s shoes or relate to those lyrics and say, ‘Oh, I’ve been through this, I’ve felt that heartache or I’ve been through that blissful experience,’ and it helps us to relate to one another.”

As we walk on our journey in life, Sheridan understands that we’re all in this together. We are all part of this tapestry of connection and consciousness.

“All around the globe, music is played at events, weddings, funerals, celebrations and festivals, and it’s something people relate to all over the world in whatever language it’s in. It’s healing, celebration and connection,” says Sheridan.

“Playing in public, you have to be present and, like music, yoga reminds us to be in the present moment. When you’re up there performing, you want to be in rhythm with your band mates and don’t

want to fumble your lyrics,” she explains.

“It’s very much like yoga and chanting.

Sanskrit is such an old language and so powerful to chant the yoga sutras, which are still so relevant today.”

Sheridan tries to always be aware and fully conscious. “You need to be present when you are climbing and be in the moment. You’re out all day and in the most amazing places. You’re in the moment and you find yourself looking at a vista for hours and see a lizard go by or the clouds come in,” she says.

Sheridan loves to share knowledge, learn and hear people’s stories. According to her, in order for sharing to occur, there needs to be trust. Teaching has taught Sheridan how to help others.

“Sometimes people just need a little help with their practice,” she says.  For more information, visit namastetruckee.com.

Cancer (Jun 21-Jul 22)

Capricorn (Dec 21-Jan 19)

All the lights are green to proceed. The challenge may be that you feel pulled in several different directions. This is actually a long cycle that has been underway for almost a year. Deciphering which to best to follow and first is, and has been, the question. So, you may be in a bit of a flux, or may be wondering where you belong.

Leo (Jul 22-Aug 23)

Relationships have and continue to be at the forefront of your focus. Family matters are especially important. As much as you want and will benefit from seeing the bigger picture, you can’t help but notice the details. Entering into meaningful and sincere discussions about how improvements can be made is a priority.

Aquarius (Jan 19-Feb 19)

A time of rest and retreat continues. It may manifest as simply being quieter than usual.

You may be subconsciously reserving your energy, building your reserves. There are indications that there is a lot going on in the back of your mind.

Thoughts and feelings about security are pushing you to dig deeper than usual.

Some fresh starts in your usual routine have begun. These include exercising your skills and talents and perhaps the activation of new ones. Returns and earned rewards are likely.

Changes have been brewing for many months and this marks a key turning point in this process.

An expansion of your social life is the next cycle soon to dawn.

Virgo (Aug 23-Sep 22) Reconnecting with family and old friends is likely now. This may be affording you the opportunity to measure things: your sense of progress, your age, how you have changed, who you are now, what is the next best set of important decisions to make, and so on. Beyond the satisfaction of camaraderie and reunion, you may also feel awakened.

Libra (Sep 22-Oct 22)

Pisces (Feb 19-Mar 20) A playful and creative phase continues.

In the context of pressures to be more sober and disciplined, especially in your professional life, this comes as a welcome prospect, but perhaps challenging to fully embrace. Establishing new lifestyle rhythms is also featured and includes cultivating a healthy routine.

Aries (Mar 21-Apr 20)

The seeds of new beginnings are being sowed in your public life. This may well emphasize career. Changes are likely in both respects. At deeper levels, you are gaining new perspectives on things. Your confidence may be wavering yet your ambitions remain strong, as does your resolve.

Scorpio (Oct 22-Nov 21) Your perspective on things is getting wider, again. Navigating your course towards a future you can believe in and rely on feels important.

This includes taking new initiatives. Deciphering what constitutes your best direction may be at issue. Should you follow your mind, or is your heart gaining more of your attention?

Sagittarius (Nov 21-Dec 21) This is a rather deep and perhaps complex cycle for you. Financial interests, questions and/or concerns are on your mind. This includes review and reconsideration of your needs, wants and priorities. Your mind may also be wandering into fields of inquiry such as origins of life, immortality, destiny and existence of the soul.

Getting down to business now is leading you to the home front. Your focus will be upon family and, especially as the week progresses, playtime. Getaways and holidays are all possible in this plot, as long as you are together with those, or at least someone, you love. This trend will continue for the coming weeks, perhaps even all summer.

Taurus (Apr 20-May 21) Emotion driven thoughts and ideas is the power in your stride. While this is always true, it is especially so now. This is where the red flag excites the bull. Everything else dissolves, at least temporarily, when your resolve is activated. With new creative inspirations summoning, you are on a charge.

Gemini (May 21-Jun 21) Deciphering what is most important to you in life continues. Yet, this may also include recognizing what is most important to others, as well. This exercise of empathy can prove challenging, even perplexing, yet liberating as well. Gaining insight into and confidence in this, and other such deeper mysteries of life, is now in focus.

SIERRA STORIES

BY MARK McLAUGHLIN

Ge neral Phipps | I n t r e p i d Ta h o e P i o n e e r settled on a 160-acre homestead near General Creek. The creek and its watershed, named after the “General,” supplies some of the clearest water that flows into Big Blue.

“When Phipps was ordered to release the fish, he went into a rage, roaring with colorful language and shooting his revolvers through the roof and walls of his cabin.”

B

efore pioneers and loggers of European descent first settled the Tahoe Basin in 1860, the forest was old-growth coniferous, dominated by stately sugar pine trees.

Statuesque softwoods such as Jeffrey pine and sugar pine towered over a forest floor mostly devoid of thick vegetation or dense stands of timber.

Explore Sugar Pine Point State Park

Early settlers remarked on how the Tahoe forest was park-like, with widely spaced trees, through which a man on horseback could ride at a gallop. Frequent, low-intensity fires kept the undergrowth vegetation to a minimum because the ground-hugging flames flickered harmlessly at the base of the pines that were protected by thick, fire-resistant bark. Unfortunately, this original forest in the Tahoe region was virtually clear-cut to supply cordwood and lumber for massive mining operations in western Nevada during the second half of the 19th Century.

A bit of that lost forest can still be enjoyed, however, at Ed Z’berg Sugar Pine Point State Park, located about 10 miles south of Tahoe City on Lake Tahoe’s West Shore. The park boasts nearly 2 miles of shoreline with forests of pine, fir, aspen and juniper. This region was the summer home for 400 generations of Washoe Indians who arrived from the desert regions east of the Carson Range in order to fish and hunt in the Tahoe Basin.

The first permanent white settler near Sugar Pine Point was trapper, hunter and fisherman William “General” Phipps, who built a cabin at the mouth of General Creek in 1860. There is some historical confusion regarding two early California pioneers named Phipps. The names George and William are both attributed to prospectors named Phipps who lived

at a mining camp called Georgetown. No one knows if they were related, either.

George Phipps arrived at San Francisco Bay in 1849, the first year of the California Gold Rush. He then led a group of prospectors into the Sierra Foothills where they made a major strike at what is now called Georgetown. William Phipps reached Georgetown five years later. The 1860 census lists him as “Wm. Phipps, Miner.”

His military rank of general appears to be a self-proclaimed appellation.

William Phipps was born in Kentucky around 1814. As a young man he gained a reputation as a fierce fighter in the Indian Wars and for his crack-shot marksmanship.

In 1854, he made his way to California where he moved to the small settlement of Georgetown, about 100 miles west of Tahoe. Six years later, Phipps relocated to McKinney Bay at Lake Tahoe where he

Phipps was determined to live the life of a mountain man. He brought his guns, knives, ax, bedroll and buckskins, along with $200 in gold dust and established a primitive camp about one-half mile south of Sugar Pine Point. Within a few years he had constructed a log cabin and a small wharf, complete with a sailing vessel and boathouse. When commercial logging operations commenced on the West Shore in the 1870s, lumber contractors approached Phipps in order to acquire the timber rights to his land. Since a large portion of the area was owned by one of the logging companies, there was little Phipps could do to stop the destruction of the surrounding forest.

Fortunately, he was able to keep the men away from his small homestead near the mouth of General Creek and its 600 yards of nearby shoreline.

He was able to protect the sugar pines growing on his land, but much of the Tahoe Basin’s timber was harvested. The sugar pine is the largest species of pine tree. It can grow to more than 250 feet high with a trunk diameter that exceeds 8 feet. The sugar pine tree has the longest seed cone of any conifer; on occasion the cone can be more than 25 inches in length.

These majestic specimens were prized by lumberjacks looking to produce the maximum amount of lumber from each tree that they cut down. The stands of sugar pine were among the first to succumb to the ax. There were few locations in the

TA H O E

Tahoe Basin that were not denuded by the timber barons. Parts of Sugar Pine Point are among those cherished spots.

Along with some of his neighbors, Phipps worked at commercial hunting and fishing, supplying fresh meat and fish to Carson City and communities of the Sierra Foothills. He trapped fur-bearing animals, such as fox, fishers, martens, otters and minks. Pelts from these animals were in high demand and sold for cash.

Phipps also netted trout fingerlings, packed them in damp moss and shipped them to the Coast Ranges where the spawn were used to stock mountain lakes along the Pacific Ocean.

The fishing business went well until 1883 when residents in Tahoe City complained to the California Fish Commission that Phipps’ operation was perpetrating a wholesale slaughter of the native trout in Lake Tahoe. Four commissioners arrived from Sacramento and headed for General Creek where they found nearly 1,000 silver trout penned in a hidden pool that was screened by cut willows. When Phipps was ordered to release the fish, he went into a rage, roaring with colorful language and shooting his revolvers through the roof and walls of his cabin.

The commissioners told the irate entrepreneur that if he didn’t adhere to the state’s fishing laws within 48 hours he would find himself enjoying a long stint in the Truckee jail. Phipps complied, but from then on he would fly into a rampage if someone mentioned wildlife enforcement

by California authorities.

When he was around 73 years old, William Phipps moved back to Georgetown where he died on March 15, 1887.

In addition to General Creek, Phipps Peak and Phipps Pass are among the topographical features named after this intrepid Tahoe pioneer.  Tahoe historian Mark McLaughlin is a nationally published author and professional speaker.

ROTARY SNOWPLOW This 1890 version of the Rotary Snowplow was considered a marvel of mechanical genius. Three 600-horsepower engines powered the cutting blade, which in turn was pushed along by multiple locomotives. Eventually the machine weighed nearly 20 tons, which kept it securely on the rails when churning through packed drifts. A conductor could change the action of the immense fan by merely turning a lever.

STORY BY SEAN MCALINDIN

F a part of Tahoe summer nights, and

ree summer concerts are ubiquitous

Carson City has joined the movement this summer, offering a Saturday option to inexpensive bliss with the Levitt AMP Concert Series every week through Aug. 6.

Thanks in part to the Levitt Foundation’s Levitt AMP Music Series grant, Carson City’s Brewery Arts Center has organized a summer-long concert series featuring a variety of acts from around the country.

“They give you the tools and a lot of the inspiration to achieve your goals and bring music to great community spaces that have never been thought of before,” said Brewery Arts Center executive director Gina Hill of the grant. “Something special happens when you share an experience like live music.”

The foundation donates money to cities with populations of less than 400,000.

It chose to expand from its six, original, urban locations to 15 cities, giving each

an award of $25,000 to help make the free concerts happen. In addition to Carson City, the foundation helps Asbury Park, N.J., Greensboro, N.C., and Jacksonville, Miss., to name a few.

So Hill and board president J. Kyle Horvath made a dream list.

“We definitely wanted something eclectic, so we listed down all the bands we wanted to see here and began contacting them,” Hill said.

The result is a diverse mix of country, reggae, indie pop, hip-hop, Americana, afro-samba-funk-dance, flamenco and vegan jam rock on Saturday nights at 7 p.m. outside on South Minnesota Street.

Fresh beer, wine, margaritas and food will also be available, with a percentage of the proceeds going back to the Brewery Arts Center.

Thanks in large part to Hill, her threeperson staff and army of volunteers, the 41-year-old center is now in the midst of a 21st Century renaissance.

Saturday nights.”

PREZIDENT BROWN JULY 16

“We just started doing stuff immediately, bringing in concerts and artists from the very, very get-go. If you do stuff, the money comes. We were able to just get out and let people know. Due to the creativity and new things we are doing, we turned it around. We are young and want to get after it.”

The center supports a gallery and artisan shop, two large theaters, artists’ classrooms for painting and pottery classes, and year-round music programs. Hill believes the center’s recent success is due in part to a growing Carson City arts scene.

“Carson is booming with the arts right now,” she says. “I think we finally caught up with other cities, which realized that arts and culture are an important element for economic stability in any town. If you want to keep talented people in your city, you have to have a vibrant arts and culture aspect, or they are just not going to stay. This concert series will be a great way to bring people in and really see the value of that.”

It’s also worth noting that the Brewery Arts Center is on the site of Nevada’s oldest business, the Carson Brewing Company. From 1860 to 1948, it supplied beer to Northern Nevada and beyond. One of its most noteworthy brews, invented in 1913, was called “Tahoe Beer.”  For more information, visit breweryarts.org.

Tahoe beer vacation S T O R Y B Y L U K A S TA R M E R

T around Lake Tahoe and in Truckee

here are more craft breweries speckled

than ski resorts. In the last few years, more restaurateurs than ever have been collaborating with local artisanal brewers to produce beers; serious beers that carry more nuance and character than your name brand après-ski indulgence. And just like the breweries in places like Portland or Milwaukee, the brewers in Tahoe want to bring you behind the scenes. They want to talk about mashing or the wort. They want to let you touch the stainless steel. They want to show you the craft.

Their collective entrepreneurship is pushing Tahoe into the ranks of great beer destinations. But the one piece that hits the pause button on a Tahoe beer vacation is safely tasting your way around the lake.

This notion struck 26-year-olds Ben Kimple and Gus Banuski, best buds living in North Lake who have made their beer money working service jobs. They’re definitely backyard beer connoisseurs.

“I was always telling people to check out this brewery or that one, depending on where they were staying,’” says Kimple, who spent the last few years sharing his vast Tahoe knowledge with visitors from atop a SUP board. But, as he will tell you,

Jason’s boasts the largest salad bar on the North Shore and gourmet half-pound burgers and sandwiches. There’s a kid’s menu, and a large selection of spirits, wine and microbrews. 8338 N.

“ The bottom line is that Tahoe Brew Tours is filling an important niche. Beer-lovers can now easily and safely include the breweries into their already busy Tahoe adventure.”

–Kevin Drake

planning to work two or more breweries in to an itinerary was like attempting the logistical feat of sending timber to Virginia City to mine the Comstock Lode.

“It got to the point where we were like, ‘It’s time somebody connects all these great beers in Tahoe.’ ” So with no competition to speak of, they decided to buy a big van and start a Basin-wide, beer-specific designated driving service – Tahoe Brew Tours.

They looked at places like Sonoma and Napa where piling onto a party bus to sip at locations miles apart is just what you do.

“Maybe nobody has tried this business model here because of the amount of red tape-cutting it takes to get off the ground,” jokes Banuski, referring to earning commercial driver licenses and business permits in two states.

But where the two have excelled is networking with the breweries to provide something memorable for their shared clientele.

For cheaper than the cost of most lift tickets, brew tourists are picked up in either Incline Village or at Basecamp

Hotel in South Lake. Their day includes three beer locations, each with their own flight and tour nuances.

First stop is South Lake’s Cold Water Brewery where owner Debbie Brown and brewmaster Ryan Parker visit with the VIP Brew Tour table to share their rise from home brewers to owning an awardwinning brewery and grill.

This stop comes with an appetizer per person and the chance to dig your hands into

samples of grains and hops (chewing on a hop will ruin your palate for the whole day).

“What a fun way to taste and play and see Tahoe,” says Brown. “I’m so glad to have these two opening up a business that moves our guests around the lake to enjoy the Tahoe brewery scene.”

The second South Lake stop is Sidellis Brewery, formerly the Bitter Creek Bar – a smoky joint frequented by Willie Nelson, according to owner Chris Sidell. “Bitter Creek is also a nice name for a beer, isn’t it?” he says of the nomenclature for their pale ale.

Between Sidell’s slight Australian accent and wine-like tasting notes, this is where the tour is most similar to something out of the Sonoma Valley. He holds an enology degree from UC Davis, but he’ll tell you he’s only made wine one time before specializing in beer.

The last stop, Alibi Ale Works, is in Incline Village, requiring the longest drive of the tour. There are plenty of chips and water for the road trip, and passengers can request to pull into any of the vantage points along the East Shore. Newbies should lean in to listen to Kimple and Banuski pontificate about the geopolitical or tectonic histories of the Basin.

Alibi is the biggest operation on the tour, the kind that requires you to carry your pint with you while you stroll a maze of stainless steel and oak barrels.

By now, you’ll have enough fermentation terminology (and liquid courage) to ask the tough questions of the brewers and their process.

“The bottom line is that Tahoe Brew Tours is filling an important niche,” says Alibi Ale Works owner Kevin Drake.

“Beer-lovers can now easily and safely include the breweries into their already busy Tahoe adventure.”

“But we have a professional van,” adds Banuski. “If you’d rather skip the beer stops and just have a bachelorette party, we can do that, too.”  For more information, visit tahoebrewtours.com.

Wine writer to sign new book Sierra Foothills Wine writer Barbara Keck will be at the Tahoe City Farmers’ Market from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. on July 14 to sign copies of her new book, “Wineries of the Sierra Foothills: Risk-Takers & Rule-Breakers.”

Her book provides an affectionate, yet thorough, look at the region. Why-we-didit stories of 21 winemakers explores the risks and rewards of starting and growing a wine business in the decomposed granitic soil of the Sierra Nevada. Grape vines grown at elevations ranging from 800 to 3,000 feet wage a struggle with the elements that results in rich and elegant wines.

The 176-page book contains stories, plus recipes that winemaker families and friends created to pair with landmark wines. An up-to-date directory of all 280 wineries is organized to make wine touring easy.

The book was produced by the custom publishing division of Range of Light Media Group, which is the parent company for Tahoe Weekly and Tahoe Powder magazines.

The book are available at Tahoe House, at many tasting rooms in the Sierra Foothills or online. | wineriesofthesierrafoothills.com

2 glasses I or osteria have specific meanings. In

n Italy, the words ristorante, trattoria

America, we use them as if they all meant simply: restaurant. However, in Italy a ristorante is more up-market and formal.

The term describes sophisticated, elegant dining establishments where bankers, politicians and movie stars eat. They feature expensive foods and deliver a decorous and etiquette-correct service.

reds and also born from volcanic terroir, this rose delivers generous cherry, apricot and white-flower aromas and flavors, while offering enough smoky backbone to match the pizza note for note.

staff deliver both classic and cutting-edge Italian fare with not only a creative and artistic bent, but also with big doses of yummy and love.”

In Tahoe City, we are fortunate enough that the talented folks at Zia Lina Ristorante deliver this experience with true Italian hospitality. Speaking of a talented staff, on the wine side, Zia’s boasts two Level 2 sommeliers. When it comes to food, take a look at the fresh ingredients and cooking skills on display in chef, sommelier and owner Suzanne Nguyen’s exhibition kitchen. Nguyen and her staff deliver both classic and cutting-edge Italian fare with not only a creative and artistic bent, but also with big doses of yummy and love.

We put ourselves in the hands of Nguyen for both food and wine and she started us off with “cozze,” Italian for mussels. Ours were fresh and bathed in white wine, garlic, lemon and butter.

For vino, Nguyen suggested the 2014 La Carraia Orvieto, which was bursting with white flowers, limes and minerals that reflect its volcanic origins. This is a firstclass shellfish wine and it swam perfectly with the mussels.

Zia’s features an authentic, wood-fired oven that creates pizzas with beautifully, crunchy, blistered crusts and infuses toppings with an inimitable smoky flavor. The Margherita version was a hit with the 2013 Terredora Rosé. Made from Aglianico grapes that are usually used for inky, gusty

Next up was the Arancini de Risotto with goat and mozzarella chesses, spinach and sauce Arrabiata, matched with the 2010 La Spinetta Barbera D’Asti that burst from the glass with flavors of cassis and spicy Indian tea. This wine both pumped up and balanced the spicy and rich risotto.

We finished our repast with chicken parmesan nested on gluten-free linguini, bathed in marinara sauce. There is no better wine to complement classic Italian flavors than Amarone. Zenato’s 2008 version was full of dried black cherry, truffles and chocolate licorice that not only played beautifully with the dish, but the last drops were enjoyed as dessert in a glass.

A quintessential summer drink there is. h, the milk shake: perhaps the most

The milk shake is definitely not a thirst quencher. What it is, is your favorite ice cream prepared in a way you can move around enjoying it without having both hands tied up with a bowl and a spoon.

That’s right; you can text your friends to let them know what you have and even send them a picture to make them jealous, all without putting your drink down.

It’s about the most flavorful way to cool down your insides on a hot summer day.

Did you know that if you go into an ice cream shop back in New England and ask for a milk shake, it’s very possible you will get a glass of milk and syrup put on the blender to mix it up? It’s true: you have to ask for a frappe if you want ice cream in it.

“My main point in making a great shake is to make it thick, so use as little milk as possible and … think about how strong the flavors of your different ingredients have so you don’t end up with one over powering taste.”

Milk shakes are one of those things you have to make by sight and feel and so the method of making a great shake is more important than the recipe. If you are using the exact same ice cream and ingredients every time, I guess you could nail down a recipe, but ice creams are all different in density, and will therefore dictate how much milk you use. if you use the same amount of milk with a top-end ice cream like Ben and Jerry’s, as you would Dryer’s, there is not as much air in it so the shake using high-end one will be thicker.

There are only three main ingredients in a milk shake: ice cream, milk and syrup. It seems like no one out here ever puts syrup in a milk shake, but it will add so much more flavor, I will always try to use syrup or maybe a substitute.

Of course, just because I said there were only three main ingredients, that doesn’t mean you can’t add other things. For example: I just made a blueberry shake after talking with Kelly about shakes and how she wanted one but had no ice cream. That’s actually what inspired this article. Anyway, I used about 8 oz. of ice cream and maybe three-quarters of a cup of fresh blueberries. Since I didn’t have any blueberry syrup, I used a spoonful of

blueberry preserves. Because of the juice in the berries, I only needed about 3 oz. of milk. It was awesome.

My main point in making a great shake is to make it thick, so use as little milk as possible and to also, like in cooking, think about how strong the flavors of your different ingredients have so you don’t end up with one over powering taste. Keeping that in mind, add whatever ingredients you want.

For a chocolate mint shake, I’ll use three-quarters chocolate ice cream with some chocolate syrup and then add onequarter peppermint stick ice cream and there is definite mint but not too much as to totally take over the chocolate. That is, by the way, my all-time favorite shake.

Whatever your favorite flavors are, make it into a milk shake and enjoy the summer.  Smitty is a personal chef specializing in dinner parties, cooking classes and special events.

MILK SHAKES

From the kitchen of: Chef David “Smitty” Smith 6-10 oz. of ice cream 4 oz. milk 1-2 oz. syrup Scoop the ice cream into the blender and push it all the way down onto the blade, but not so tight so the liquids can still get to the bottom. Squirt in the syrup. Add just enough milk to allow the ice cream to blend and then add more milk as needed.

For me, the whole idea of a milk shake is to make it so thick I have to work to suck it through the straw, so I want as little milk as possible. If adding fruit, don’t use as much milk because the juices in the fruit will thin out the shake.
