Redinger Lake is full of history, activi â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and water gur-

Sharon Giacomazzi Why should you visit Redinger, a 4-mile-long reservoir, in the lowlands of the Sierra National Forest in an obscure canyon? It has virtually no hiking pedigree and is quite isolated by most recreationists' standards. Though paved, the access road is narrow, long and curvy. The nearest town is only a hamlet and more than a stone's throw away. First and foremost in my view,

IT IS FULL OF WATER! During this dreadful drought, not many lakes or reservoirs in the Central Sierra can brag about that, eh? Finding a lake instead of

a sandy-bottomed puddle these days is a cause celebre. Remember that stuff that fell from the sky and filled our lakes and streams and bathtubs and when it was cold enough froze and dropped tons of snow on the tall pointy peaks up the hill? Well, that hasn't happened this season. For those who must have water for an outing to be worthwhile, I suggest a jaunt to Redinger Lake. To be frank, this is not a high country body of water surrounded bylofty peaks and legions of tall pines. Nor will cool, refreshing alpine breezes sooth your brow. Redinger is a lowland lake at 1,400feet in Sierra National Forest, 55 miles northeast of Fresno and 20 miles south of Bass Lake. Gray (bull) pines, oaks and chaparral populate the

During an expansion in 1922, a dog team represented the only contact with the outside world forworkers at 7,000 feet above sea level.

The brainchild of a brilliant California engineer named John Eastwood combined with multi-millionaire entrepreneur Henry Huntington ultimately contributedmore tothe settlement of the West than did the Gold Rush. Because of the use and reuse of the waters of the San Joaquin River, the project is known as "the hardest working water in the world." The first power was transmitted to Los Angeles in 1913. Beginning in 1917 the system was gradually enlarged to its present size. The last powerhouse came on line in 1987. Presently, there are 27 dams, six major reservoirs, miles of underground tunnels and 24 generating units in nine powerhouses.

Because I'm a natural born landlubberand primarily interested in boots on the ground, I'll not address water activities. Before crossing the picturesque pony truss bridge at the head ofRedinger, park in a wide spot. Look uphill and see a dirt road following a line of power poles that emanate from a powerhouse upstream.

The moderate 2.5-mile hike on thepower line road leads to a good view of the powerhouse on the South Fork San Joaquin River and the wild canyon terrain.Retrace your steps or

Getting there Be smart and buy a Sierra National Forest map in Oakhurst or North Fork. From Oakhurst on Highway 41, south of Yosemite, drive north for 4 miles; turn left onto Road 222 signed for Bass Lake. Continue to the far (east)side ofthe lake on Road 274, Malum Ridge Rd. North Fork is about 7 miles ahead over hill and dale. In North Fork, turn left on Road 225, Italian Bar Rd., and proceed 4 miles; turn

right on Road 225 that leads down into the canyon cradling Redinger Lake. Great views! The lake is roughly 10

continue on the road as far as you feet want to go. Another option — and one of my favorites in spring when a brawling four-tiered waterfall is running full tilt — is to drive acrossthe bridge and bear left at the fork. Pass the entrance to some maintenance buildings and soon spy a locked gate. This is the route to Stevenson Creek Falls and beyond for hikers and cyclists. The paved road is known as the "Million Dollar Road" because of the enormous construction expense gouging it out of vertical granite walls. It's a moderate 3-mile walk down to one of the most dramatic cascades no one has ever

comin e x i i t • What: Library art exhibit. • When: Month of May. • Where: Tuolumne County Library, 480 Greenley Rd., Sonora. • Admission: Free. •Information:533-5507.

"Art in the Library," a rotating exhibit at the Tuolumne County Libraryon Greenley Road in Sonora, will feature pastels by Renetta Hayes for the month of May. "I find pastels easy to work with and love the vibrant colors," she sald.

The exhibit will feature animals and wildlife from throughout the Mother Lode as well as regional landscapes. Hayes was born in Oklahoma, but raised in San Jose.

"My folks made the move to California to join the war effort by working in war-support related industries," she said. H er interest in artbegan asa child. "I was always drawing, and sent in my drawings in response to advertisements asking if you 'wanted to be an artist.' I took art classes in high school and went on to major in art in college. These were stepping stones to develop my skill in depictingthe beauty ofinteresting subjects around me." All of Hayes' work is done from photographs taken on location. "I love the outdoors and through our travels abroad and around

pictures I took when a group brought animals to a location and set them up for photographing." Included in the library exhibit is "Spring Sheep," which was done from aphotograph taken by Hayes of the local countryside. She has added her own whimsical interpretation to the colors of the sheep. "A Walk in the Woods" was done from a scene that struck a chord with her when walking in the Sierra."I was thrilled with the sight of the bright sunlight coming through the trees. A landscape that draws my interest is one that has a good play of sun and shadow," she said. While raising three children as a single mom, Hayes went to San Jose State University and earned a Bachelor of Arts degree with an art major and a Lifetime Teaching Credential. "I taught school in the San

school," she said. Hayes was kept away from her passion for art for many years while developing her career. Hayes left teaching, and then pursued a career in the computer industry in the Bay Area. ''When I reconnected with my old boyfriend, Carroll Hayes, almost 40 years after high school, I leftmy career foranother position as a wife and partner with him in our building and development company," she said. "After retiring 15 yearsago,Igotback into creating art and have been active in the Mother Lode Art Association and the AloR Gallery afier moving to Jamestown six years ago." Hayes, who is now secretary for the group, said the association is 63 years old and provides a $1,000 scholarship each year to a deserving Columbia College student pursuing an art-related education. "In addition, we provide annual scholarships to youth for the Tuolumne County Arts Alliance Kid's Kamps. At the monthly meetings, art demonstrations are open to the public and we purchase art related books and tapes for the county library available to the public for check-out. We provide venues

"I began taking my art seriously by being able to spend more time pursuing my passion," she said. "I have taken lessons from Georgia Herrick, Tina Moore, Gil Dellinger, Clark Mitchell and Kim Lordier." She has also taken lessons from Kitty Davids, who she considers

her mentor."Kitty is a local pastel and acrylic artist as well as a muralist," she said."She has been very encouraging, and I credit her as being a major factor in my developmentas an artist."

uccessu' on ir aur a'cou ea oseries With a nearly packed house, Sonora's first "Songbird Saturday" event has been declared a success.

The singer-songwriter showcase entertained an audience of 100 as six regional musicians shared their original songs. Presented by Second Saturday Art Nightand the Sonora Chamber of Commerce, the Art Night "After 8" event was held April 11. Stage 3 Theatre's black box theater looked like a cozy living,complete with bird cages to capture songs, adding a casual ambience to the night. Using a music-in-the-round format, each artist had a chance to bethe focus as they allshared their music and talked with one another. "The musicians got together for the first time just a few hours before the show," event organizer Katie Dunn said. "It was the first time most of them had ever met. The respect that they shared among each other was profound. We all felt it." Dunn said a few weeks ago all of the musicians shared audio files of their songs with one

another to be familiar with each

other's work. "One of my favorite moments was listening to Richard Sholer of the Coyote Hill Band talking with 16-year-old Andrew Dante at the end of the show," she said. "The veteran musician and the young pupwere making plans to work together. Very cool!" As people leftthe theater on Saturday night, the chatter was alive. "I loved the interplay between the musicians," said Monika Stoiber Reidel of Murphys. "They eachhad different,unique things to offer us with music as the common thread. I especially liked the multi-generational aspect." The audience included many local musicians, including Grant Niday, a guitar improvisationalist.

Six regional musicians shared their original songs April 11 during a singer-songwriter showcase.

The event was a benefit for the

new Mountain Performers Fund, headed up by committee member Sarah Nesper. "We're off to a good start with our fund," Nesper said. "We'll be organizing more efforts to build

the fund. We hope that people will recognize the importance of supporting our local talent as they work to earn a living wage through their performances."

The Second Saturday Art

Night Committee and the Sonora Chamber will be looking into the idea of more "Songbird Saturday" events. "At the end of the evening, everyone was asking us to do this

again," said committee member Laurie Lehmann. "It sounds like folks really would like to see a 'Songbird Saturday' series that would feature more musicians in

this approach."

The 74-year-old Starr was inducted by McCartney, who said he could always count on Starr to have his back on every song. Starr, amazingly fit and looking 20 years younger than his age, then stepped to the podium and said:"Myname is Ringo and I play drums" — as if anyone didn't know. He was then joined on stage by Eagles guitarist Joe Walsh on "It Don't Come Easy" before McCartney came out to play bass, the two living Beatles jamming again, to "A Little Help From My Friends."

It is now ascertained with reasonable certainty that two assassins were engaged in last night's horrible deed, Wilkes Booth being the one who shot the President, and the other an accomplice whose name is not known. From papers found in Booth's trunk it appears that the murder was planned before the fourth of March, but fell through then because a third accomplice backed out. One of the assassins has evidently made his way to Baltimore; the other has not yet been traced.
