A 13-part Home Means Nevada radio series from 1986 presents vignettes of Nevadas multi-fac-eted folk culture.

The shows were pro-duced from recordings made on location in folk artists home, places of work, and at pub-lic gatherings, and are now available online as part of the Nevada 150 year celebration.

From the making of neon signs to the con-struction of Shoshone cra-dleboards from Basque dance music to buckaroo poetry, the cultural diversi-ty of Nevada is only hinted at in this series there is much, much more!

The series was pro-duced by the Folk Arts Program of the Nevada Arts Council (then Neva-da State Council on the

Arts), in partnership with KUNR (Reno), KNPR (Las Vegas) and KOLO (Reno), and with funding from the National Endowment for the Arts and the State of Nevada.

The series is now made available via digitization and web design by Neva-da Arts Council staff, with funding from the National

Endowment for the Arts Folk and Traditional Arts Program and the Neva-da Department of Tourism and Cultural Affairs.

To listen to the shows visit the Nevada Arts Coun-cil online at: nac.nevada-culture.org, then click into the Home Means Nevada Radio Series page. The sto-ries are on in Vimeo for-mat, and are accompanied by photos and graphics. F

The Ruby Mountain Balloon Festival is an annual event occur-ring the fourth weekend in September.

The event begins with school visits on Thursday morning with several pilots

taking their balloons to local schools and presenting a pro-gram on the avionics and history of ballooning.

The first balloon flights will be on Friday Sept. 26 from various locations in Elko and Spring Creek. On Friday eve-ning at dusk there will be a balloon glow in Elko.

The balloon glow is an event where several balloons use their propane burners to light up the balloon which makes the balloon look like a large lantern.

On Saturday morning at

sunrise all the balloons will take off from the Sports Park in Spring Creek.

This event will be repeated on Sunday morning at the same location.

The balloon festival has about 35 balloons coming from Nevada, California, Idaho, Oregon, Utah, and Arizona.

For the past two years we have also had the POW-MIA balloon from Minnesota and anticipate their return in 2014.

On both Saturday and Sunday there will be vendors on the field with food and beverages available.

All events of the Ruby Mountain Balloon Festival are free to the general public and made possible through the generous sponsorship of several local businesses and individuals.

For more information visit: www.rubymountainballoon-festival.com F

National Cowboy Poetry Gathering tickets on sale beginning Sept. 2

The National Cow-boy Poetry Gather-ing is an annual cel-ebration of the ranching and rural West.

This year the Vaqueros Are Coming! For the 31st Gathering, we are visiting a remote corner of Mexico

Pat Lossing

Singer Mary Kaye has one of the most dynamic and original voices in Western music. Kaye will be on stage at the Eureka Opera House on Friday, Sept. 26 at 7 p.m.

A multiple award winning entertainer, Mary Kaye tours extensively throughout the United States and Canada with her unique brand of Western Americana music. She is a native born Texan and as a young woman ventured off to Utah where she married her a cowboy. Her husbands family has deep Western roots that go back six generations. Mary Kaye now resides on a century old pioneer homestead in a small Western town in central Utah where her large family is involved in cowboying, horse training, and all things Western. She has been married to her husband Brad for 28 years, they have ten children.

Renowned Western artist Maynard Dixon declared, The spirit of the West sings in every soul. Mary Kaye believes this and shares this spirit in every performance. Her music is rooted deeply in the Western landscape her life is immersed in. Western Horseman said of her, Some Western singers and musicians are all about preserving traditional cowboy songs. Others strive to write and sing songs about contemporary cowboy life...Mary Kaye does both well, and with an authen-ticity that appeals to not only purists, but also those seeking something fresh.

Mary Kayes latest album, The Dawn and The Dusk, hit #1 on the Western Music Charts and received excellent reviews in Western Horseman, American Cowboy, County Music Peo-ple, The Western Way, and Maverick magazines. Additionally, her song Jealous of the Moon, was chosen by American Cowboy as the Top Cowboy Song of 2013 and the album was nominated for the 2013 Western Album of the Year by the Western Music Association.

David Jacobs-Strain is a fierce slide guitar player, and a song poet from Oregon. Hes known for both his virtuosity and spir-

it of emotional abandon; his live show moves from humorous, subversive blues, to delicate balladry, and then swings back to swampy rock and roll.

Jacobs-Strain returns to Winnemucca for a Friday, Sept. 19 show at The Martin Hotel.

I try to make art that you can dance

to, but I love that darker place, where in my mind, Skip James, Nick Drake, and maybe Elliot Smith blur together, he said.

Jacobs-Strain began playing on street cor-ners and at farmers markets as a teenager, and bought his first steel guitar with the quar-ters he saved up.

This event is presented by Great Basin Arts and Entertainment, a local all volunteer grass-roots non-profit, organized to bring world class performances to our communi-ty. Tickets are available at Global Coffee, Natures Corner and The Martin Hotel or online via the Martin Hotel website: www.themartinhotel.com. For more information visit www.gbae.org. F

The Dustbowl Revival is a Venice, Califor-nia-based collective that merges old school bluegrass, gospel, pre-war blues and the hot swing of New Orleans to form a spicy roots cocktail.

The group brings their high-energy swing-string style to Fallon for a Saturday, Sept. 13 performance.

Known for their roaring live sets, Dustbowl bravely brings together many styles of traditional American music. Some call it string band-brass band mash up. Imagine Old Crow Medicine Show team-ing up with Louis Armstrongs Hot Fives and Sevens, or Bob Dylan and The Band jamming with Benny Goodman and his orchestra in 1938. Its infectious, joyous music - a youthful take on time-worn American traditions.

Named Best Live Band in LA by The LA Weekly, each Dustbowl performance prom-ises to be a white-knuck-

le ride through the history of American folk music that rarely stays just on the stage.

Call it the new old-timey dance hall sound made fresh by some of the best soloists in the business.

Founder Z. Lupetin came west from Chicago and placed a humble Craigslist ad to get the circus start-ed. The group has grown steadily from a small string band playing up and down the west coast, into a travel-ing mini orchestra featuring instrumentation that often includes fiddle, mandolin, trombone, clarinet, trumpet, ukelele, drums, tuba, organ, a bass made from a canoe oar, harmonica and plenty of washboard and kazoo for good luck.

Presented by the Churchill Arts Council, tickets are $17 for CAC members and $20 for the general public. For more information or advance tickets call (776) 423-1440, or visit www.churchillarts.org. F

Place, color and the uniqueness of light are evident in the works of Bozeman, Mont., artist Robert Royhl.

Royhls works will be on display through Nov. 22 at the E.L. Wiegand Gallery at the Oats Park Art Center in Fallon.

Place has been central to my work for the past 20 years, Royhl said.

I return over and over to places that for one reason or another have pulled me into entering their life. How-ever, what a small hill in the Sonoran desert, a river bank in Kyoto, Japan, a nonde-

script crossroads in Umbria, the lakes of Yellowstone and the glacier remains in Cen-tral Park have in common is beyond my understand-ing. Once I select a location, I draw and observe, ideally over a full year, in all times of the day and night, to dis-cover the essence of this par-ticular place. My prints and paintings are then made from these life studies.

Painted in layers, Roy-hls work juxtaposes different mediums, including egg tem-pera, mineral pigments with glue, and oil paint.

At first, it can be hard to see anything of interest, and it takes a while to get

What some might see as junk may become Tom Robinsons next col-orful canvas. The long-time Fallon resident and artisan can evoke creative expression using an item that many would discard, or an instrument not normally used.

Tom Robinson: New Work exhibition is featured in the Virgil Getto Hall Art Gallery, Monday, Aug. 25, through Saturday, Oct. 4, at Western Nevada College Fallon Campus. The exhibit kicks off the colleges 2014-15 academic year.

The collection includes Robinsons latest abstract paintings along with several sculptures.

Tom uses discarded house-paint can cans included, surplus canvas and unconventional tools to create art with a visceral impact, said WNC Art Professor Gil Martin.

Martin said that Robinsons work is tough, unpretentious, uncompromising and slyly witty, like the artist himself. F

Weather and action heat up in September

The Green InfernoA group of student activists travel from New York City to the Amazon to save a dying tribe but when they crash in the jungle, they are taken hostage by the very natives they planned to protect. Rated R.

Last Days in Vietnam During the chaotic final days of the Vietnam War, the North Vietnamese Army closed in on Saigon as the panicked South Vietnamese people desperate-ly attempted to escape. On the ground, American soldiers and diplomats confronted a moral quan-dary: whether to obey White House orders to evacuate only U.S. citizens or risk being charged with treason and save the lives of as many South Vietnamese citizens as they could. With time running out and the city under fire, an unlikely group of heroes emerged as Americans and South Vietnamese took matters into their own hands.

Levitated Mass Prominently displayed outside the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), land artist Michael Heizers Levitated Mass gained world-wide recognition during its installation in 2012. Over 10 nights, a 340-ton solid granite boulder crawled through southern California neighbor-hoods on a huge trailer. Thousands of people came out to watch it travel through their commu-nities. It is one of the only pieces of art in recent history to inspire such a reaction in pop culture. The film masterfully interweaves this artists biography, the dreams of a major museum, and the uniting of a city, examining the perennial question: what is art?

Falcon Rising John Falcon Chapman, is an ex-marine anti-he-ro plagued with a terrible secret consuming him with guilt. On the self-destructive edge, he learns his sister has been brutally beaten in the slums or favelas of Brazil and travels there to hunt down her attackers. In the process he discovers an underground world of drugs, prostitution, and police corruption ruled by the Japanese mafia and protected by the powerful Hirimoto. With incredible fight sequences and edge of your seat action, Falcon Rising is an in your face thrill-ride introducing Americas newest action hero. Rated R.

The Longest WeekAffluent and aimless, Conrad Valmont lives a life of leisure in his parents prestigious Manhattan Hotel. In the span of one week, he finds himself evicted, disinherited, and... in love. Rated PG-13.

Holy Ghost Since 2008, the world has come alongside filmmaker Darren Wilson as he journeyed out of

his comfort zone and hesitantly (and sometimes comically) inched his way into the supernatural and, ultimately, a full blown friendship with the God of the Bible. His awakening has mirrored a greater awakening around the world of people coming alive in their relationship with their Cre-ator. Not yet rated.

Sept. 10

My Old LadyA down-and-out New Yorker inherits an apart-ment in Paris from his estranged father and is stunned to find a refined old lady living there with her protective daughter. Rated PG-13.

Sept. 12

Atlas Shrugged: Who is John Galt Approaching col-lapse, the nations economy is quickly eroding. As crime and fear take over the countryside, the government contin-ues to exert its bru-tal force against the

nations most productive who are mysteriously vanishing - leaving behind a wake of despair. One man has the answer. One woman stands in his way. Some will stop at nothing to control him. Others will stop at nothing to save him. He swore by his life. They swore to find him. Who is John Galt? Not yet rated.

Resident Evil 6Alice, Jill, Claire, Chris, Leon, Ada, and Wesker rush to The Hive, where The Red Queen plots total destruction over the human race. Rated R.

Sept. 1

Dark PlacesStarring: Charlize Theron, Chloe Grace Moretz, Christina Hendricks, Nicholas Hoult. A woman who sur-vived the brutal killing of her family as a child is forced to confront the events of that day by a secret soci-ety obsessed with solving notorious crimes. Rated R.

Sept. 5

God Help the GirlSet in Glasgow, Scotland, the film is about a girl called Eve who is in the hospital dealing with some emo-tional problems and starts writing songs as a way of getting better. Songwriting becomes her way for-ward, leading her to the City where she meets James and Cassie, two musicians each at crossroads of their own. What follows is a story of renaissance over the course of a long, dream-like Summer.

The Letters A drama that explores the life of Mother Teresa through letters she wrote to her longtime friend and spiritual advisor, Father Celeste van Exem over a nearly 50-year period. Rated PG.

Set in the tumultuous Border area of Arizo-na and Mexico, Frontera follows the events that take place after a former Arizona Sheriffs wife (Amy Madigan) is killed while riding on their Ranch property. It would appear a Mex-ican man (Michael Pena) crossing in to the US illegally is at fault. As former Sheriff (Ed Harris) and current Sheriff (Aden Young) search for answers, lives are changed forever and the facts as to who is really at fault in this trage-dy are nearly as tenuous and complex as the issues and tensions between the people who live in this region on either side of the line. Rated PG-13 Opens Sept. 5 nationwide.

Dolphin Tale 2 It has been several years since young Sawyer Nelson and the dedicated team at the Clearwater Marine Hospital, headed by Dr. Clay Haskett, rescued Winter.

In the documentary of his record-breaking deep-sea dive, Deepsea Challenge 3D, James Cameron asks, Am I a filmmaker who does exploration work on the side, or am I an explorer who does filming on the side?

Its a good question. Its now been five years since Camerons last feature film (a little movie called Avatar), and in that time, the priorities of the most bankable director in Hol-lywood have sometimes been as murky as the deep sea. He has spent those years producing a fleet of documentaries about ocean exploration and deep-water life forms. His biggest project hasnt been a mega blockbuster but building a deep-diving sub and piloting it more than 35,000 feet down into the Challenger Deep, the deepest part of the Mariana Trench.

I make the Hollywood movies to pay for the exploration, Cameron said in a recent phone

interview from California.But for now, on Friday, hes releasing in

theaters a 3-D film for National Geographic that chronicles his 2012 dive into another alien world, the last great frontier, as he calls the ocean. For Cameron, the movie is a testament to the spirit of exploration, which he feels is flagging in America.

Camerons dive, nearly seven miles deep, was only the second manned-dive to reach the bot-tom of the Challenger Deep, the deepest known point of the seabed. Some 68 new species were identified from the sub, which was equipped with 3-D cameras.

I think explorers feel a sense of the sacred, said Cameron. Something thats beyond them-selves, when they go to a place thats never been witnessed before and bare witness for the first time. F

Walla Walla Valley to create new AVA

In a previous column we related some of the climate and geology of Walla Walla Valley in Southeastern Washington. As the valley celebrates 30 years as a recognized

AVA (American Viticultural Area), the number of wineries has grown from just four in 1984 to over 100 today. The quaint downtown of Walla Walla boasts a couple of dozen tasting rooms from the surrounding area wineries and a nice collection of restaurants and tourist-oriented shopping oppor-tunities.

Walla Walla Valley is anticipating the Fall 2014 announcement of a new AVA -- The Rocks of Milton-Freewater on the Oregon side of Walla Walla Valley -- to bring further attention to this under-appreciated wine producing area.

The Rocks is an area with soil, if you can call it that defies logic as an agricultural area. The flat fields are covered with rounded basalt rocks rang-ing in size from pebbles to 12 inches or more. A light layer of thin powdery loess surrounds some of the stones. At some point farmers determined that fruit trees could grow in this environment, although more and more vineyards are replacing the orchards.

We recently visited The Rocks and its most famous winery, Cayuse Vineyards, founded in 1997 by Frenchman Christophe Baron. Baron was

inspired to plant his vineyards by the resemblance of the area to the stone-covered vineyards of Cha-teauneuf-du-Pape in the Southern Rhone Valley in France.

Trevor Dorland, president-directeur general of Cayuse, explained the culture and philosophy of their operation. The vineyards are all farmed biodynamically and some of the vineyards are designed for cultivation by horse-drawn plows. Dorland explained that the rocks brought Chris-tophe here and referred to the winery as a wine studio.

Cayuse uses 12 unlined concrete tanks for most of the fermentations. Dorland said that the heavy walls of concrete keeps the temperatures cool at the beginning of fermentation and also holds the heat during fermentation which he believes con-tributes to the quality of their wines.

Unfortunately all of Cayuse wines are only available directly from the winerys mailing list, and a few restaurants and wine shops around the coun-try. Following are our impressions of our favorites. You may get lucky and find a friend on their mail-ing list or discover them at a high-end restaurant, or wine shop.

Cayuse God Only Knows Walla Walla Val-ley Grenache 2011 ($130). Named for the murky mix of grapes that accompany the predom-inantly grenache mix. Aromatic, berry fruit and a nice mineral earth streak, delicious.

Cayuse Syrah Cailloux Vineyard Walla Walla Valley 2011 ($150), Very much in the Northern Rhone style, great meaty blackberry fruit,

and hints of mocha. Cayuse No Girls Grenache/Syrah 2010

($N/A). Very floral nose beautiful berry mocha flavors, impressive.

We also enjoyed many other Walla Walla wines, most of which are much more reasonably priced, but can be difficult to find unless you are travelling to Washington state. A 2012 Isenhower Road Less Travelled Cabernet Franc Yakima Valley ($34), herbal, classic cabernet franc profile was memorable at lunch one day. We also enjoyed a 2010 Tre Nova Ripasso Red Wine ($30). Although made from sangiovese and barbera this provided a credible ripasso experience.

At a tasting where older Walla Walla Valley wines were served -- some over 15 years -- we were impressed with a 2006 Dusted Valley Reserve Syrah Walla Walla Valley which still exhibited fresh fruit and classic Northern Rhone syrah com-plexity. Dusted Valley wines are available in Mary-land. Ask your local retailer about availability. WINE RECOMMENDATIONS

Amici Cellars Russian River Valley Pinot Noir 2012 ($35). This reasonably priced pinot noir sports intense aromas of violets and raspber-ries. We liked the spice and earthy feel to the wine.

Kendall-Jackson Hawkeye Cabernet Sauvi-gnon 2010 ($55). K-J has turned out a beau-tifully structured cabernet sauvignon from the Hawkeye Vineyard above Alexander Valley on the Mayacamas Mountains. Soft tannins belie serious complexity and length. Black cherry and cassis notes. F

Chapoutier steers family business back from brink


Todays cork could be tomorrows antique

Called the heart break grape, pinot noir can be a frus-trating experience for grape growers its thin skin makes it suscepti-ble to mildew and hail. But, its also frustrating to consumers.

Its easy to fall in love with the wine, but not so easy to fall in love with its often lofty prices. A good bottle of California or Ore-gon pinot noir will set you back $40 and more -- easily . And Burgundy pinot noir? Forget about it.

Last year we enjoyed more West Coast pinot noir than ever. As the grape vari-ety continues to excel in this country, more producers are getting into making better quality pinot noir.

We recently tasted sev-eral California pinot noirs that, although expensive, demonstrate this countrys ability to produce world-class pinot noirs. They have a different profile than what you will find in Burgundy, but they are equally com-plex. While Burgundy pinot noirs are known for their understated, silky elegance, California pinot noirs are known for their boldness.

Goldeneyes winemaker Michael Fay has found gold in the Anderson Valley. His series of pinot noirs struts the stuff this region capable of making. Sourcing grapes from four vineyards, he has created a blend and three unique pinot noirs that are pricey -- but competitive for those similarly priced.

Goldeneye was founded by Dan and Margaret Duck-horn, whose Napa Valley merlots are legendary.

The 2011 Goldeneye

Gowan Creek Vineyard Pinot Noir ($80) is made from eight different clones grown on different root-stocks. The breadth of char-acter shows the results.

We enjoyed the 2011 Goldeneye Confluence Vineyard ($80) for its finesse and elegance -- it is the first vineyard bought by Goldeneye in 1996.

The 2011 Golden-eye Ten Degrees Estate Grown Pinot Noir ($115) uses the best fruit and bar-rels for its most prestigious wine. Very complex and long in the finish.

We also liked the pinot noirs being made by David Fossi of Fulcrum. The Ful-crum Pinot Noir Gaps Crown Vineyard 2011 ($57) is a full-throttle pinot noir from Sonoma Coast vineyards. It has extraordi-nary depth and complexity, an earthy, forest-floor char-acter with sweet cherry fla-vors and hints of dried herbs and spice. Once opened, you wont be saving any of this for tomorrow.

We loved the Robert Mondavi Carneros Pinot Noir Reserve 2012 ($60). This succulent yet complex pinot noir from Napas Car-neros AVA shows off dense, dark cherry flavors and sports blueberry aromas and hints of spice. Nice earthy undertone too.

Knowing that these pinot noirs are more than many

of you can afford, we sug-gest three moderately priced pinot noirs from Mandolin and Meomi. These are rel-atively easy to find in stores and popular at restaurants.

OTHER WINES TO TRY Louis M. Martini Napa

Valley Cabernet Sauvi-gnon 2011 ($34). You would be hard pressed to find a better cabernet sau-vignon at this price. One of the oldest brands in Napa Valley, Louis M. Martini specializes in this grape vari-ety. We love the showcase version -- the full-bodied Monte Rosso ($85) -- but we know this is unafford-able for many of you. Try this one and you wont be disappointed. It shows well now but can be aged. Blend-ed with petite sirah and petit verdot, it has concentrated dark berry flavors with a touch of cedar.

La Rochelle Sleepy Hollow Vineyard Pinot Noir 2010 ($48). In 2005 Steve Kent Mirassou bought La Rochelle from his cous-ins to concentrate on Liv-ermore County pinot noir. The cousins had just sold the Mirassou brand to Gallo, so he couldnt use the family name onthe label. Hence, the Steven Kent Winery that makes La Rochelle. His ini-tials grace other labels as well, but this pinot noir excited us. Lots of cherries and cranberries with a dash of pepper and spice.

La Rochelle Dutton Ranch Pinot Noir 2010 ($48). Using grapes from the Russian River Valley, La Rochelle has a homer-un with this sophisticated, cherry-dominated pinot noir. Ripe black cherry flavors with a bit of toasty oak. F

The Show wines grab attention The wines are a little bit

cowboy a cowboy wear-ing fringed chinks and doing lasso tricks on stage. The wines from The Show were first created in 2005, when Three Thieves partnered with a print designer from Nash-ville Hatch Show Print.

What came from that marriage of winemaking and woodcarving are big and bold with a Cabernet Sauvi-

gnon, Malbec Pinot Noir and Garnacha red wines available from the company, as well as a Chardonnay.

Big and bold, these wines are dominated by full fla-vors of dried black cherries, jammy preserves and com-plex toasty, vanilla, and spicy oak.

Like a Hatch print for a music gig, The Show wines grab your attention.
