Millpond Festival more than music
Organizers
arrange for
outreach in the
form of student
assemblies
By Terrance Vestal
Associate Editor
While the Millpond Music
Festival officially doesn’t kick
off until Friday, Lynn Cooper,
executive director of Inyo
Council for the Arts, which
organizes the event, is quick
to point out that technically
it starts today.
“There will be a total of
seven school assemblies
from Death Valley to Round
Valley,” Cooper said.
More than 1,000 students
will be reached by musicians
participating in the Millpond
Music Festival, she said.
“A priority this year is to
share music and culture with
the kids with an eclectic
offering as is the festival,”
Cooper said.
The assemblies for students begin this afternoon
and continues into Friday
with exhibitions such as the
UNLV Steel Pan Drum demonstration, she said.
Along those educational

lines, Cooper said the festival
will feature an NEA Tent,
which is new this year and
will feature three workshops
geared for youth.
“Kids on Sunday will get a
chance to perform on stage
with the Banana Slug String
Band,” Cooper said, adding
that students in Kindergarten
through eighth grade can
attend the entire festival for
free if accompanied by an
adult who has paid admission.
There also will be other
children activities including
arts and crafts, face painting
and hat making.
“A group called March
Fourth will be doing a parade
Saturday at the end of the
dinner break,” Cooper said.
“We picked some projects for
kids that hopefully they can
showcase in the parade.”
The NEA Tent was funded
through a grant from the
National Education
Association along with a
grant from the California
Arts Council.
Cooper said with the
expanded workshops there
will be hands-on workshops,
including three for guitar and
one for banjo.
“These are great performers of very high caliber,”
Cooper said of the artists
performing at the festival.
Tickets are available at the
gate with adults paying $100
for the weekend. Daily
admission also is available
with a $25 ticket price for
Friday and Saturday and
Sunday costing $40 each.
Cooper said she estimates
the event draws 1,500 to
2,000 people to the area.
Economic impact
With that kind of draw,
it’s not just the youth and
lovers of music and art who
benefit from the event,
Tawni Thomson, executive
director of the Bishop Area
Chamber of Commerce and
Visitors Bureau, said
Wednesday.
“A good number of them
camp at the Millpond site but
a good deal of them do stay
at hotels,” Thomson said.
Those who don’t stay at
hotels still spend money in
the area on travel necessities,
such as groceries and fuel,
Thomson said.
Thomson said she would
conservatively estimate that
the festival provides a
$500,000 to $750,000 economic shot in the arm.
“The festival itself spends
money locally on staging,
lighting, T-shirts, food – a lot
of people don’t think about
that,” Cooper said.
Directions
Approximately five miles
north west of Bishop on
Highway 395, turn south
onto Ed Powers Road (the
road is marked with a sign
from both directions; this
will be a right turn if you are
coming from the north, a left
turn if you are coming from
Bishop and the south). Take
the first right onto Sawmill
Road, and proceed about one
mile to the Millpond County
Park, clearly evident on your
left. The entrance to the park
is on the left, after you have
passed the park. For more

Mammoth Hospital is
awaiting a judge’s ruling on a
request for a change of venue
for the lawsuit filed against
the hospital by Northern Inyo
Hospital in Bishop and the
Inyo County Local Agency
Formation Commission.
Inyo County and NIH filed
the suit on Aug. 4, alleging
that Mammoth Hospital is
unlawfully providing healthcare in Inyo County by “contracting to operate and/or
operating the Bishop Physical
Therapy Clinic and the
Mammoth Orthopedic
Institute” at 162 S. Main St. in
Bishop.
The lawsuit was filed in
Inyo County, and lists the
Inyo County Local Agency
Formation Commission and
the Northern Inyo Healthcare
District as the plaintiffs and
the Southern Mono
Healthcare District as the
defendant.
Mammoth Hospital CEO
Gary Myers said Monday that
Mammoth Hospital has been
operating in Inyo County
since 2003, when NIH
requested that the local hospital open the Bishop Physical
Therapy Clinic and the
Orthopedic Institute to
ensure that services were
available in that community.
NIH entered into an agreement with Dr. John Perry, a
physician affiliated with
Mammoth, to sublease office
space in Bishop to provide
orthopedic services for Inyo
County residents.
In 2010, Perry retired.
According to the court documents filed by NIH, the hospital terminated the lease, but
two Mammoth physicians
continued using the facility.
The suit also alleges that
Mammoth added physical
Gary Myers,
Mammoth Hospital CEO
therapy, orthopedic and other
services at the Main Street
location without any prior
approval of Inyo County or
NIH, according to the suit.
Among other requests, the
county and NIH are asking
the court to forbid Mammoth
from providing health care
services in Inyo County; to
render any agreements
Mammoth has to provide
health care in Inyo County
and “more specifically, at the
Main Street Facility” null and
void; and the cost of filing
the lawsuit and related attorneys’ fees. Mammoth Hospital attorney David Baumwohl said
Tuesday that it’s still very
early in the case, but
Mammoth has moved forward with a request for a
change of venue, to ensure
that the suit is handled by an
unbiased judge. “When public
entities are in litigation, like
this, we look for a change of
venue to a neutral county,”
Baumwohl said.
He added that the hospital
has requested that a judge
from outside the area review
the change of venue request.
That judge is scheduled to
review the request on Oct. 23.
Baumwohl said the judge
may render a decision at that
time, or may choose to take
more time and issue a written
decision.

All of Eastern Sierra’s most recent, destructive fires human-caused
Officials: Fire
season is far
from over
By Wendilyn Grasseschi
Times Staff Writer
Don’t be fooled by the
recent rain.
The Eastern Sierra is still
primed to burn (barring an
epically wet, El Niñoinfluenced fall).
Although the rain this
week brought a welcome
reprieve from the heat and
smoke, at most it dropped
about an inch of precipitation
on the region; small pittance
against a deficit of more than
40 inches for the year.
Vegetation and forests are
still bone-dry and the problem has been exacerbated
even more this year by a rash
of dying trees and dying vegetation; everything from mistletoe-infested junipers and
Red fires to willows killed by
willow rust to the familiar
bark-beetle kills.
It the Eastern Sierra does
burn again this year and if
history is any guide, it is likely to be our fault.
The area has already sur-
vived four big and destructive
fires in the past 13 months
and all four were sparked by
human activity or humanmade equipment; the Round
Fire by downed power lines,
the June Fire by a vehicle, the
Van Dyke by an undermined,
but human-caused, spark, the
Walker by someone, somehow, on the north edge of
Walker Lake.
Those are only the fires
most people know about.
Hidden from view is a
series of other fires caught by
firefighters and sometimes
residents or visitors before
they could do more damage;
51 of them, ranging from less
than an acre to 50 acres in
size.
Of these, 17 have been
human-caused, according to
Inyo National Forest and
Bureau of Land Management
public information officer
Deb Schweizer, making the
chances almost 30 percent
that any give fire has been
caused by human activity.
In fact, three of the 17
started within the last week
and a half, she said.
For example, over Labor
Day weekend, someone built
an illegal campfire right next
to the SnowPark parking lot
along Rock Creek, between
the creek and the parking lot,
complete with a huge,
downed log that they burned
in the fire, using lighter fluid
to start the fire.
The next morning, two
Crowley Lake residents taking
their dogs for a walk saw the
still-smoldering fire and put
it out using water bottles to
take water from the nearby
creek, then called the Mono
County /Sheriff’s
Department, then the Forest
Service.
“It’s like they didn’t care at
all,” said Carolyn Kavulla, one

issue is resolved, Baumwohl said Mammoth Hospital will file an
official, written response to the lawsuit. “The next step after the
change of venue request will be a formal response,” he said.
Myers said this week that he feels Mammoth Hospital is providing a service to the community of Bishop. “It’s unconscionable that a public hospital Board of Directors would try to limit
the choices to the people they serve,” he said.

for the gOP, the Don stands alone
By carne lowgren
In “So, who do you like?”
(Top of the Morning, Sept. 12)
the head of the local GOP
presents what he believes are
the qualities that separate
presidential wheat from
unqualified chaff. As always
much of it was a smack down
of all living Democrats, excuses for Republicans (we invaded Iraq because the buck
stopped at the CIA, not
Dubya’s desk) and even a dog
whistle (“helpin’ people”) for
all you bigots out there. The
bottom line in his editorial
was literally the bottom line:
He intends on supporting
whatever Republican survives
the primaries, as we would
expect from an old school
partisan pol.
Also par for the course is
that he very carefully avoided
endorsing any of the GOP
contestants. Is it because the
GOP has run so far off the
rails that anyone fit to be
president under the criteria
the editorial’s author has enumerated has long since been
run out of the party? Or is it
that like he studiously avoids
strong positions beyond his
predictable hatred of everything Democrat, and waits to
see which way the wind
blows? How political of him,
but it hardly matters, because
between the lines is his fear
that it is blowing toward
disaster again for the GOP in
the person of Donald Trump.
The GOP base loves Trump
as much as the GOP establishment hates him because he
perfectly represents what the
GOP is all about now.
Everyone can see it for what
it is and it ain’t pretty. Like
the GOP base I am thrilled
about him running, and for
the same reason: he is as
honest as he is devoid of
Top of The Morning
guesT ColuMnisT
principles, and what the TOM
piece’s author dubs “character.” He is a rude, narcissistic,
misogynist and bigot who is
rich and famous enough to
tell anyone and everyone to
stuff it. He doesn’t need the
dog whistles, or have to pretend to be civil. In stark contrast to his fellow GOP presidential aspirants, who have
mostly similar views but lack
his blunt politically incorrect
over-the-topitude The Donald
gleefully tells it like it is in
terms the base appreciates
and understands. His shameless self-promotion and
uncivil behavior may be liabilities with the general public,
but they are assets as far as
the GOP base is concerned.
The Donald is The Man –
he’ll tell you that himself
without you even having to
ask. Even when he takes the
high road it is for the wrong
reasons. It is not because of
principle that he doesn’t
court the Koch brothers or
want their money – he simply
doesn’t need it. Unlike the
rest of the GOP field he
doesn’t have to kowtow to
the Religious Right, and he
can even throw a bone to us
serfs by endorsing higher
marginal tax rates for the
1-percenters and lower pay
for CEOs because he knows
they will find other ways to
avoid the tax and get the
gold.
He’s even gotten away with
pledging not to run as a
third-party candidate,
because no one takes him
seriously. Trump will run, one
way or the other. Everyone
knows it and I wish him well.
Not so well that I hope he
actually wins, which sadly is
not beyond the realm of possibility. After all, the only
qualification our previous
governor had was the fact
that he was a popular actor
who played the Terminator
on the silver screen.
Whether Trump runs as
the GOP’s candidate, or as
this year’s H. Ross Perot, the
Republicans are damned
either way. If you believe politics and governance is just
another genre of popular
entertainment – a reality
show where we cheer the vil-
lain because villains are particularly entertaining when
they revel in their villainy –
the man with the comb-over
and the foul mouth is a the
only star in the running.
While the Beltway media
wrings its collective paws and
assures us that his candidacy
will collapse like a punctured
whoopee cushion, Trump’s
pre-eminence is no fluke. His
competition is so tired,
flawed or anonymous that the
current runner-up is distinguished from the pack by his
color alone, and the GOP base
will never in a million years
vote for him because of it.
The Donald is your candidate
– there are literally no others.

LADWP crew gets
an ‘atta boy’ for
clean-up job
Thought I’d take a minute and
thank Los Angeles Department of
Water and Power’s Jack McMurtrie and
his band of merry men for the fine job
they did at cleaning up years of accu-
mulated trash, sagebrush and weeds
from the south side of North Indian
Creek. They did a mighty fine job.
It’s time DWP gets a little “atta boy”
once in a while for all the men- and
equipment-hours they spend at no
cost to the city, customers and surrounding communities. For a job well
done, again, thanks DWP.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Fish and Game
Commission oversteps its authority
It is one thing hearing about a
government bureaucracy sidestepping the intent and text of a
Republican-written law in California,
but it is particularly brazen when it
happens to a law that was written
by a Democrat and signed by
Governor Brown. However, despite
the oddity, this is exactly what happened on Aug. 5, when the California
Fish and Game Commission enacted a statewide ban on bobcat trapping citing a 2013 law, AB 1213,
which was authored and passed to
explicitly prevent such a thing from
occurring.
Authored by Assemblyman
Adam Gray (D-Merced), AB 1213
did prohibit trapping in very specific areas throughout California,
but through debate and the legislative process, it was made clear in its
intent and text, that the law should
not be used to implement a statewide ban.
Additionally, the law required
that the Department of Fish and
Wildlife complete a comprehensive
biological study of California’s bobcat population before further regu-
lations were established, as there is
no current scientific data upon
which to base regulations.
Since the law’s passage, no study
has been initiated.
The blatant disregard by the
commission for both the will of the
Legislature, the governor, and the
rule of law, is of grave concern.
Regardless of the commission’s
feelings on a certain law, they are
an unelected body that has been
charged with administering the law,
not forming it.
Bobcat trapping is an industry
that existed in California for centuries. To date, there is no evidence
that commercial trappers have
endangered the state’s bobcat population. The industry is well managed and does not come close to its
quotas.
I understand the need to protect
California’s natural resources, and I
also believe that the legislative process exists for a reason. As your
assemblyman, I will continue to
fight against overreach by the state
government, and will protect your
right to make a living.

fires
Continued from front page
of the residents. “The log they
burned was still hot and it was
big, about four feet long. It
was like they just rolled it
across the parking lot and
then burned it, then left it
burning that night. There was
garbage and lighter fluid bottles scattered all over the place
and they didn’t even try to put
it out. When we arrived, it was
still smoking.”
In another case, someone
started an illegal campfire
near McCloud Lake later in the
week, triggering another
Forest Service call.
A week earlier, it was a
campfire near Minaret Lake
that was abandoned that sent
the feds racing; again this fire
was put out before it could
spread past an acre.
All of these were contained
and extinguished before they
could do significant damage
but they paint a picture of
how delicate the situation is.
The reasons for the fires
range across the board, from
vehicle malfunctions sparking
a fire to building an illegal
campfire and failing to put it
out to building a legal fire that
is abandoned before it is completely out, Schweizer said.
“Most human-caused fires
are not started maliciously,”
she said, “although some are,
of course.”
“Some are due to illegal
campfires, but some are also
due to people simply not
understanding how dry it is
out there right now,” she said.
“These are extreme conditions, something people have
never seen before. So maybe
they leave a campfire they
think is out, but it has been so
hot, the nearby fuels are so
dry, it can still spread.”
Even that number doesn’t
accurately convey the effects
of human-caused fires, she
said. Because they are started
by humans, they are usually
located near places where
humans live, work or play; in
other words, towns, cities,
campgrounds, roads, rather
than in the deep wilderness.
“People start fires in places
where we live, or already are,”
she said.
So what happens to someone who starts a fire that
spreads, if they are ever identified?
That “if” is the biggest
obstacle, said Schweizer.
“Fire is very destructive by
nature,” she said. “Often, the
evidence is burned, making it
very hard to identify exactly
how the fire started, let alone
who started it.”
Should the culprit be positively identified, another
round of questions needs to
be asked, she said.
“Was the fire built illegally
(like the Rim Fire, the one up
Rock Creek, etc)? If so, that’s a
more straightforward criminal
case, although even then, if
can be very hard to prosecute.
“What if it was started by a
child? What if it started as
legal fire (like the Minaret Lake
fire), then was abandoned
because the person thought it
was out, but it was not? What
if it was started by a vehicle
and the person didn’t even
know it started?”
All such questions and
many, many more must be
carefully deliberated she said.
For example, the June Fire
was started by a spark from
equipment being used that
was being driven on a road on
the mountain. That fire is still
under investigation and
Schweizer said she could not
comment on it because of
that, but, it’s an example of
how many shades of gray
accompany the whole issue,
she said.
“There are so many different parameters to look at,”
she said.
In the end, with a fire season only half over, the critical
thing is to do everything anyone can do to prevent themselves from being part of the
problem; make sure their vehicles are properly maintained,
keep their eyes open, educate
those that need it, and, please,
just please, don’t start a fire.
Don’t toss ’em! Recycle ’em!

Distance could help with daughter’s relationship
Dear Annie: I was
divorced many years ago
and raised my daughter primarily on my own because
my ex-husband was an alcoholic. When I left him, I was
financially responsible for
my daughter. I always told
her that as long as she did
well in school, she could
have a great deal of freedom, yet it was a crime if I
asked her to pick up milk on
her way home. When she
went off to college, I paid
her tuition and all expenses
for the first three years.
She now has a good job,
is a hard worker and is kind
to her boyfriend and friends.
But to me, she loses her
patience, gets snotty and
rarely takes time to see me.
We live two hours apart, and
she is always too busy when
I’m in her area. She never
invites me to stay with her.
When she comes here, she
spends her time visiting
other people. I’m just her
hotel. For Mother’s Day, I got
the free gift that came from
a purchase she made for
herself.
I have tried to talk to her
about these things and she
says it’s the “same old sob
story” and doesn’t have time
to listen. Now her job is relocating her to Florida, and I’m
having a hard time wanting
to help her move. She’s
asked if it’s OK with me that
she goes, but I told her it
doesn’t really affect me.
There’s always a telephone
if she wants to talk, and
that’s the only communica-

HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY
Communication is tricky today,
especially between familiars. A person
may think he or she is using the clear,
helpful voice one might use to give
street directions, and yet it sounds
utterly confusing and nonsensical to
the one hearing it. Who is right? The
Mercury retrograde declares it a mismatch. Keep trying to get the message across.
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
The outsider sees what the insider is
blind to. The only problem is that the
outsider generally doesn’t talk about it
to the insider’s face -- that is, unless
asked directly. Do you dare?
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It’s
time to calm that chaotic mind. It
starts by releasing a few preoccupations that have you mentally whirling.
If you want a shortcut, try cleaning,
exercise or going to that environment
you love.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
Small steps lead to big things. Today’s
small step will include exchanging a
first greeting with someone who will
change your entire future. Be ready to
introduce yourself.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
Regarding this afternoon’s happening:
It feels as though there is but one way
to react. Wrong. There are always
more choices than one. Detach yourself emotionally for a moment to think
of more.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
Frustration is like an intense spice. A
pinch of it can make the recipe. Too
much ruins everything. Let the energy
of frustration inform and ignite you,
but only for a second. Feel it and then
walk away to cool off for a while.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Science is often corrupted by wishful
thinking, and wishful thinking is often
corrupted by science. Where the two
meet and harmonize, corrupt or not,
is poetry.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You
shouldn’t have to ask, demand or beg
your loved ones to listen to you carefully. Unfortunately, some are too
selfish or distracted to realize this.
Don’t take it personally, but do kindly
bring up the issue.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
Holiday Mathis
The group-think is strong. It goes
against basic survival instincts to break
free of it, though something inside
you may tell you that escaping tribal
mentality is right for you now.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). Someone claims to have remembered all you forgot, but that person
recalls it so differently that it makes
you want to keep better records.
That’s not a bad idea, because there’s
a lot coming up that you’ll want to
remember.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Reclaim sovereignty over your body.
Let no trainer, person, substance or
chocolate cake boss you around. If it
feels wrong in every limb, don’t do it.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
The place is new to you, and yet the
people there see it every day. They
are bored of it. The only thing that
makes it exciting is seeing it for the
first time through your eyes. Share
your impressions.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
Think twice before you suggest
improvements, give criticism, go
another round, trade up or make
changes of any kind today. “Better”
can be the enemy of “good enough.”
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept.
17). A need arises repeatedly, and
you’ll act quickly to meet it, earning
yourself a niche that is well paid and
well appreciated in other ways, too.
Note: You won’t know how, so you’ll
have to start from scratch and learn.
Your attitude plus fun changes to your
look will attract admirers and romance
in 2016. Children bring luck. Capricorn
and Scorpio people adore you. Your
lucky numbers are: 16, 40, 3, 11 and
18.
WEEKEND LOVE FORECAST:
ARIES: You will not share the
workload 50/50. Working together
will be more fun when you drop that
expectation. TAURUS: Playfulness is a
desired trait, but you do not want a
partner who acts like he or she is your
child. GEMINI: The most attractive
thing you can do: Be into the other
person. No one can resist the one
who can’t resist them. CANCER:
Taking turns will make the relationship
balanced. Sharing will make it complicated. LEO: The one who steals your
heart may not have money and
power but has something even better:
comic exquisiteness. VIRGO: The
nice things you do for the other person make you feel more confident in
who you are. LIBRA: Distraction can
be a very healthy part of life. Give in
to it. SCORPIO: You’ll hit the sweet
spot by sharing more without sharing
too much. SAGITTARIUS: Is it love?
If it makes you feel loving, it is.
CAPRICORN: Bad dates have pluses.
Did you at least see a good place? Did
it make another contender look
dreamy by comparison? AQUARIUS:
If you listen carefully, you’ll learn the
other person’s hidden desire. PISCES:
A weird fact of love is that the more
reliable your affection and attention
are the more they’re taken for granted.
COUPLE OF THE WEEKEND:
Saturn has entered Sagittarius, and
the moon will follow suit, drawing
attention from the Virgo part of the
sky. Virgo usually does find Sagittarius
to be intriguing, worldly, sophisticated
and full of potential. Sagittarius is all
those things and also very difficult to
rein in. Virgo won’t have to worry
about that this weekend, but when
the time comes, “reining in” just happens to be Virgo’s specialty.

tion we have had for a while.
She blocked me on Facebook
several years ago. She has
maligned me to family and
friends and convinced them
that I was a bad parent.
Could the distance be a
positive thing for us? I feel
as though I’ve lost my daughter. I did everything for her
to succeed in life, and she
treats me like I’m nothing.
Am I an embarrassment to
her or just not a good enough
mom?
– Hurting
Dear Hurting: Neither.
Your
daughter
doesn’t
understand why she should
treat you differently. Other
than good grades, you
expected little from her and
that’s what you got. This
move could be a good thing,
since it will force you to
focus on things other than
your daughter, and she will
stop assuming that you will
always be desperate for her
attention. But you need to
develop a fulfilling life totally independent of her.
Dear Unsure: Packing up
and mailing a package can be
complicated for some people. Chances are, he completely forgot. Phone your
friend and say, “A while back,
you were very kind to offer
to send me your record player, although you certainly are
not obligated. I’m ready to
purchase a new one now and
just want to be sure that
yours isn’t in the mail.” He
will then let you know whether he plans to send it or not.
Kathy & Marcy
Dear Annie: A few months
ago, I mentioned to a friend
that my record player broke.
He offered to send me his
player.
The thing is, it’s been a
while and he hasn’t sent anything yet. Is it polite to
remind him or should I let
the matter drop?

Quick hit: weekend football preview
All home games

Register Staff
Bishop
The Broncos get a visit
from the Arrowhead Christian
Eagles tomorrow at 7 p.m.
Bishop lost a close one to
Arrowhead last year, 22-15.
The halftime score was 9-7,
Bishop. “They nipped us last
year. We didn’t play as well in
the second half,” said coach
Egan. “We need to beat a good
team. Sounds stupid, but it’s
time for us to do that.”
Lone Pine
Lone Pine will play its
home opener at 7 p.m. Friday,
getting a visit from North
Tahoe. Tahoe is a new opponent for Lone Pine which is
2-0 to start the season.

Fly selection is the key to fly
fishing success. Choose the
wrong pattern and it’s like
you’re fishing in a desert. Pick
the right fly to tie on your leader
and it’s like shooting fish in a
barrel.
So how do I know what is the
right pattern to fish with for the
day and time I’m on the water?
The easy answer is what the
trout is feeding on. But, it
becomes a chicken and the egg
situation. You need to catch a
fish first to determine what it’s
eating. How do I catch a fish if I
don’t know what they are feeding on?
One option is to go with
some tried and true patterns
that will allow you to catch
trout no matter what the fish
are feeding on. An Adams
Parachute, Gold Ribbed Hare’s
Ear (GRHE), and a wooly bugger
are three patterns that catch
fish. I consider these to be 75
percent patterns – flies that will
produce trout 75 percent of the
time.
Now that you have your first
fish you have to decide how
you’re going to obtain the fishes
stomach contents. One choice is
to kill the fish, gut it and observe
the food in the stomach. The
other choice is to use a stomach
pump – a miniature turkey
baster-looking device. It allows
you to access the contents of
the esophagus and upper stomach without killing the trout.
This is the only way to obtain a
stomach sample from a catch
and release stream.
Once you have the insects
the trout is feeding on in your
hands, choose a fly pattern. You
need to look at your flies and
find one that matches the size,
Fred Rowe
Columnist
shape and color of the natural.
What if you can’t catch a
trout?
You may not catch a trout,
but maybe someone else has.
Checking trout cleaning stations
at lakes and campgrounds is a
great way to find stomach samples. Offering to clean someone’s trout for them may sound
weird, but is a great way to look
at stomach samples and find
out exactly where on the water
the fish were caught.
Not as good as stomach
samples, checking the substrate
for an abundance of insects is a
great way to guess the trout’s
food source. Picking up rocks or
aquatic vegetation allows the
angler to observe the insects.
Using an aquatic collecting net
is another method of sampling
the insects in a stream or still
water. Usually going with the
most abundant nymph is what
the trout is feeding on. Matching
the hatch is not as important
with nymphs as dry flies.
Imitating any of the insects
found in the substrate will produce trout.
For the terrestrial form of
the aquatic insects, anglers need
to check the riparian vegetation.
A close-up look will yield insects.
Catching one of these insects
will allow you to properly determine the pattern needed to
imitate the insect. Sometimes
you can catch the adult insects
with your hands. Other times
you will need a butterfly net to
catch the elusive fly. Once in
hand anglers need to imitate
the color found on the bottom
of the insect. This is the way
that the trout views the insect.
One of my favorite places to
view adult aquatic insects is in
streamside spider webs. These
webs hold the insects that have
recently hatched from the
stream. They’re easy to observe
when entangled in the spider’s
web. On the lower Owens River
a quick inspection of the cut
banks yields several webs.
Determining the correct fly
pattern is the key to successful
fly fishing. Learning where to
find aquatic insects allows fly
anglers to definitively imitate
the insects. Once this is achieved
fly fishing is as easy as catching
fish in a barrel.

Lake Sabrina
It’s that time of year when
words just aren’t enough to
describe the colors around
the lake. A bit earlier than
normal, but maybe mom’s
gearing up for a dumping! The
lake’s still dropping about 4-5
inches a day (do the math –
that’s over two feet a week).
Had quite a few days of clear
skies, but a wind shift and the
smoke is back, and this time it
brought a few clouds that are
producing a bit of rain – we’re
sure hoping this will help with
the fires – ALL the fires.
Catching, this week is good
– lots of fish from the Inlets
and around the rock piles.
Once again, lots of families
getting out of the heat – it
was pretty warm in Bishop
over the weekend. Fish the
Inlets with nightcrawlers,
PowerBaits or jigs. Troll deep
with lures with some red on
them. Drift the rock piles with
nightcrawlers or toss jigs.
Shore fish with nightcrawlers,
PowerBait or toss lures
(remember the red). State

entered Saturday’s bracket play
as the overall fifth seed.
They opened up bracket
play defeating the Mammoth JV
21-10, 21-15. Lone Pine then
knocked off Cal City 21-15,
15-25, 15-9, setting up a third
round match up (with eventual
tournament
champion)
Brentwood, losing 21-5, 21-15.
In the double elimination
format, the Lady Eagles then
fell to Rosamond 21-19, 20-21,
10-15.
“We had a very positive
weekend, every ball this team
touched was a learning experience,” said coach Mel Joseph. “I
was happy with our play and
team chemistry, all of our players should be happy with their
performances.”
Next up Lone Pine travels to
the
24-team
Cal

Tournament this Friday and
Saturday.
Bishop
Both varsity and JV played in
the
annual
Mammoth
Invitational Tournament this
past weekend. Bishop varsity
had their ups and downs finishing with an overall record of
7-7.
The inexperience of the
young team and having two
starters out with injuries proved

to be challenging as they found
it difficult to find their momentum and play with cohesion.
As Bishop JV was one of
only two JV teams competing in
the tournament, the team’s only
expectation was that they would
play a lot of good volleyball.
Competition was tough but
they played well enough to win
3 out of 11 games in 5 matches.
The coaches were especially
impressed with the team’s serve
reception. While Bishop JV had
never practiced with hard
serves common in a varsity
match, they nonetheless successfully returned 77 percent
of the serves. Overall, both
coaches and players were
pleased with how well the team
did.

Green Kool-Aid and
Week 1 NFL roundup
Ah, deadly green Kool-Aid.
I resisted it all summer long.
They sipped it and said, “the
team will be great.” They
sipped it and said, “Chip Kelly
figured out a way to make the
quarterback position a nonfactor.” They sipped it and
sipped it till their tongues
turned florescent green.
And all summer long I
resisted. “You can’t win with
Bradford or Sanchez, with
Barkley or Tebow. It doesn’t
matter how the rest of your
team shapes out. If we’re talking Superbowl, none of those
guys will do it.”
But with two hours to go
before game time on Monday
night, I lost my mind. I got
too excited. New season. New
offense. NFL fever. It was too
much. I doubled up on the
Eagles +1. “Pass the Kool-aid.”
And I drank. And it tasted so
good.
Then the game started.
20-3 Falcons at the half.
The fever cost me.
The Eagles did rally. They
got it back to 26-24. And they
drove the ball into field goal
range and had a 4th down
and short with 2:30 on the
clock. They went for the 44
field goal …
In all fairness, it was coach
Kelly and quarterback Sam
Bradford I was criticizing all
off-season, and in the end,
this opening game loss was
not their fault.
“Moron” Mike Tirico saying
they should have gone on 4th
down rather than attempting
a go-ahead field goal does not
a controversy make. Bigmouth Tirico was already
Monday morning quarterbacking, and he was wrong.
Coach Kelly made the right
decision, the decision which
got the team two chances to
go ahead in this game – good
chances.
Chance one was the
44-yard FG which kicker Cody
Parker missed. That’s Parker’s
fault, not the coach’s.
Chance two was, they
stopped the Falcons, got the
ball back with time on the
clock, still down only two,
and Bradford looked great in
his final drive. In the game
book, he threw a game ending
interception – but in reality he
threw a perfect pass, botched
by Matthews. That’s not
Bradford’s fault.
Still, why was I pushing my
bet on the Eagles after being
dubious all year long? I drank
the Kool-Aid and lost.
But – and I’m reaching for
another sip here – the offense
looked great in the second
half. They wore down the
Falcons and nearly won it.
The Eagles will have to get
off to quicker starts than they
did, but if they can play second halfs like that, they’ll win
a lot of games this year.
And in fairness, the
Falcons look good again. Matt
Ryan is still an excellent quarterback and Julio Jones had
141 yards and two touchdowns.
Falcons 26 / Eagles 24
just as much as it can work
against you. Just kick it normally.
The Rams got a field goal,
and stopped the Seahawks on
next drive. Game, Rams.

Love ‘em or hate ‘em, the
Patriots are a great team year
after year. The Steelers moved
the ball like crazy in the season opener in New England
but somehow couldn’t get in
the end zone more than twice
– until garbage time (yup, that
useless third touchdown as
time ran down made -7 push).
As for Tom Brady? The
guy was 25 of 32 for 288
yards with four touchdown
passes.
Rob Gronkowski had three
touchdowns and Juian
Edelman had 11 catches. The
team is nasty again, no way
around it.
Patriots 28 / Steelers 21
The Rex Ryan era began in
Buffalo and they pulled the
upset, stomping the favored
Colts to open the season.
Andrew Luck never really
got his game on, and the Bills’
defense was crushing. Not to
give Bill Belichick credit for
games he didn’t have anything to do with, but I can’t
help thinking Rex knew the
same thing that Belichick
knew when the Pats shut out
the Colts in the AFC
Championship Deflategate
game last year – whatever
that thing was.
The Colts better hope I’m
wrong, or figure out how to
stop this mystery … thing …
because whatever it was, it
worked.
Or maybe the Colts just
had a rough start and they’ll
get righted at home next
week when the Jets fly into
town.
As for the Bills, they have
the Pats, so we’ll find out
pretty quickly if this was just
a Rex Ryan pregame speech
and some luck, or if they really have a team this year.
Bills 27 / Colts 14
Seattle opened in St. Lou
and the Rams pulled an
impressive upset. Nick Foles
was clutch in his first game
as a Ram and the game went
to overtime tied at 31.
And when Seattle lost the
coin toss, Pete Carroll tried an
onside kick. Huh? Why would
you risk an onside kick to
start overtime? Yes, I know
the rule. Both teams get to
touch the ball barring a
touchdown. I don’t care. I say
again. Why the heck would
you do that? Both teams getting the ball can work for you
And as much as that had
to sting, it was the Sunday
night game that really delivered a final-second shock.
The Giants played in Dallas
and caught some huge breaks
that seemed to give them the
victory.
The Giants’ Dominique
Rodgers-Cromartie picked up
a Dallas fumble and ran it 57
yards for a touchdown.
Trumaine McBride found
himself in the right place at
the right time for a tippedball interception – which he
returned to the Cowboys
1-yard line before going out
of bounds. The Giants scored
a touchdown moments later.
But lo and behold, down
by six with 1:27 left in the
game, Tony Romo – ugh, this
guy – Tony Romo drove the
‘Boys 72 yards all the way to
a touchdown. With seven seconds left on the clock, Romo
threw an 11-yard pass over
the middle to his comrade
Jason Witten, who turned and
stuck the ball across the goalline plane. A game winning
touchdown for America’s
Team. How ‘bout them
Cowboys?
Cowboys 27 / Giants 26
Green Bay opened at rival
Chicago and looked good.
The Bears played with them
for a while but went down 15
before a late touchdown cut
it closer for the final score.

Williams loses, Novak
wins at U.S.Open
Lately regarded as “the
best women’s tennis player
of all time” by sports critics
and writers, 33-year-old
Serena Williams showed last
week at the U.S. Open that
she is not unbeatable.
Looking to complete the
calendar Grand Slam with a
win at the U.S. Open, the
world No. 1-ranked women’s
tennis player cruised into the
semifinals feeling confident
and healthy. Then she faced
the 43rd ranked player in the
world, Italian Roberta Vinci,
and all of her dreams were
shattered.
Vinci lost the first set 6-2
and it appeared that Williams
would take the match in two
sets and advance to the final,
but Vinci wasn’t going to give
up that easily. Vinci eventually would triumph in three
sets 2-6, 6-4, 6-4 making this
the biggest triumph in the
30-year-old’s career. The
upset by Vinci catapulted her
into the final against fellow
Italian and 26th-ranked
Flavia Pennette. The loss by
Williams snapped her
33-game Grand Slam win
streak and also made it very
refreshing to see a new face
play women’s tennis in a
major final.
Vinci, a 300-1 underdog
going in to the tournament,
triumphed over Williams,
denying her the chance to tie
Steffi Graf at 22 major championship victories. Margaret
Court still leads all-time with
24 titles. Vinci had never
made it past the fourth
round of a Grand Slam in her
career before this run at the
U.S. Open.
In a wonderful post-match
on-court interview, Vinci said,
“I’m sorry for the American
people, for Serena, the Grand
Craig Jackson
sports Columnist
Slam. But today is my day,
sorry guys.” The crowd had
been originally cheering loudly for Williams during her
quest for the calendar Grand
Slam, but they applauded
Vinci loudly. She pulled the
crowd to her side with her
impressive style of play and
also when she said, “this is
the best moment of my life.”
In the very entertaining
and delightful final between
Pennette and Vinci, Pennetta
outlasted Vinci by a score of
7-6, 6-4 at Flushing Meadows,
collected a $3.3 million paycheck for the victory and
promptly retired from professional tennis. Great way to
go out a winner.
Flavia Pennetta, age 33,
became the oldest woman in
the open era, since 1968, to
have won her first Grand
Slam title. The two Italian
finalists grew up 40 miles
apart near the coast on Italy’s
boot-shaped peninsula and
had been competing against
each other for 20 years. Sure
was nice to see new smiling
faces at a Grand slam final.
As far as athletes go, I
don’t know if I’ve ever seen
anybody, other than former
Detroit Lion Barry Sanders,
as calm and cool as Roger
Federer. He’s not one of
those guys that pumps his
fists in the air and grunts
when he scores a point, he
just quietly waits for the next
point to be played. It’s hard
not to root for Federer for
this reason, and also the fact
that he’s been one of the best
tennis players in the world
for over a decade.
Federer made it again to
another final at the U.S. Open
with impressive play and was
the overwhelming sentimental favorite last Sunday
against No. 1-ranked Novak
Djokovic. Even with the full
support of the sellout crowd,
Federer could not muster up
enough energy to beat his
arch rival, losing in 4 sets
6-4, 5-7, 6-4, 6-4.
The crowd cheered often
and loudly for Federer but he
just didn’t have it in him,
leading to Djokovic’s thrid
Grand Slam of 2015 and
10th career major title. The
match originally appeared to
be headed for a rain delay
and started three hours later
than originally planned.
Federer, age 34, was seeking
his 18th Grand Slam title and
first since winning
Wimbledon back in 2012.
Djokovic’s victory evened the
career record between the
two at 21 wins a piece.

A Sporting View
The Godfather reimagined
When young Vito first tried
out for the football team, he
was rejected for being too
small. Besides, his brothers
before him had been seen as a
bit too violent, and his father
didn’t get along with the guy in
charge of the league. In fact, the
two had a very public exchange
at an awards banquet that led
to the family getting blackballed
from the community’s social circuit.
What Vito lacked in size he
made up for in perception. His
parents died young and he had
since moved to another school
district with his extended family. Embarrassed of his accent,
he worked around the edges of
the schoolyards a bit. Still, he
made a quick reputation for
himself as a club boxer, where
he raged like a bull, trouncing
opponents, and soon he had
gained a reputation for being a
hardworking guy.
He started a company with a
friend that imported an organic
energy drink, married a sweet
girl and soon became wealthy
enough to move out to the suburbs, where he went on to grow
a family. His upward climb continued until his drinks were
served in every stadium. He had
power and influence.
One day, a quarterback
asked for a meeting. He was on
the downside of his career and
he wanted Vito and his adopted
son, Tom, a persistent and principled sports agent (but not a
fan of racehorses), to represent
Mark Vasto
sports columnist
him again. This time, he was
looking to quarterback out in
Los Angeles, where they had not
one, but two pro teams in town.
“I’m perfect for the Raiders
offense,” he said, beginning to
sob. “It’s the perfect offense for
me … long bombs on every single play … but the owner and
GM … this one guy … he won’t
sign me. What can I do?”
To his surprise, Vito jumped
up and smacked him.
“You can be a RAM!”
Tom was dispatched to
negotiate the very next day. At
first, the owner/GM would not
take his call. Upon learning of
his pedigree, however, he
changed his tune and invited
him to his palatial estate for
dinner. Before dinner, the owner
took Tom on a tour of his walkin closet.
“Tom … why didn’t you tell
me you were sent by Genco
Beverages? Anyway, these are
my leather jackets … and this
one … this one I won’t even
wear. It was worn by Henry
Winkler when he jumped the
shark on ‘Happy Days.’ No …
this one stays here.”
He petted the jacket, softly
cooing, “Fonzi … Fonzi …”
But dinner did not go so
well. The mere mention of
Leather Tuscadero sent the
owner/GM into a fit.
“He never gets that starting
job! And let me tell you another
thing, bucko! I ain’t gonna sit on
it for anyone! I ain’t no Richie
Cunningham!”
Tom wiped his mouth and
excused himself as the owner
carried on.
The next morning the
owner/GM woke up to find his
prized leather jacket replaced
with a jean jacket. On the back,
a red patch was sewn reading
“Joanie loves Chachi.” The
screams could be heard all the
way back to Oakland.
A few weeks later, the
Godfather got a bunch of flowers sent to his office. The quarterback had gotten the starting
job.
“How’d you do it,” he was
asked.
He shrugged.
“I gave him a jacket he
couldn’t use.”

Accomplished water color
artist to be featured at
Altrusa’s Art Show and Sale
Club’s 17th
annual event set
for Oct. 3-4
Special to The Inyo Register
Tony Furtado
Virtuoso musician brings
unique flair to Millpond
Tony Furtado
to also offer
banjo workshop
Special to The Inyo Register
Very few musicians so personify a musical genre as completely as Tony Furtado
embodies American roots
music.
Furtado, who will be appearing at this weekend’s Millpond
Festival, is an evocative and
soulful singer, a wide-ranging
songwriter, and a virtuoso
multi-instrumentalist who
mixes and matches the sounds
and styles of Americana with
the flair of a master chef. All
of the music of America is in
Furtado’s music.
A native of Pleasanton, who
now makes his home in
Portland, Furtado took up the
banjo at age 12, inspired by
“The Beverly Hillbillies” TV
show and a sixth-grade music
report. He first attracted
national attention in 1987,
when he won the National
Bluegrass Banjo Championship
in Winfield, Kan.
Not long after that, Furtado
opted for the life of a full-time
professional musician, joining
Laurie Lewis and Grant Street.
In 1991, a second victory at
Winfield bookended his years
with Grant Street.
In 1990, Tony signed a
recording deal with Rounder
Records and recorded six critically acclaimed albums, collaborating with such master
musicians as Alison Krauss,
Jerry Douglas, Tim O’Brien,
Stuart Duncan, Kelly Joe
Phelps and Mike Marshall.
During this period, Furtado
also performed and recorded
with the band Sugarbeat and
the
Rounder
Banjo
Extravaganza with Tony
Trischka and Tom Adams.
Beginning in the late 1990s,
influenced by such musical
heroes as Ry Cooder, David
Lindley and Taj Mahal, Furtado
added slide guitar, singing,
and song writing to his musical toolbox and began leading
his own band.
Today he is a tireless road
musician who performs in a
dizzying variety of formats:
solo, duo, trio, or with his full
five-person band.
Furtado has performed
throughout the world at top
venues and appeared at such
prestigious music festivals as
the
Telluride
Bluegrass
Festival, High Sierra Music
Festival, Jazz Aspen, Kerrville
Folk Festival, Strawberry Music
Festival,
Winnipeg
Folk
Festival, Sisters Folk Festival,
San Jose Jazz Festival and
countless others.
Furtado will be bringing his
love of live performance to the
stage at the 2015 Millpond
Festival where he will be presenting both a main stage set
with his trio, and a banjo
workshop in the new NEA
education tent.

Altrusa International of the
Eastern Sierra will hold its
17th Annual Art Show and
Sale on Saturday, Oct. 3 from
9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday,
Oct. 4 from 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
in the Floriculture Building at
the Tri-County Fairgrounds in
Bishop.
This event coincides with
the dates of the Choo Choo
Swap Meet and the Owens
Valley Cruisers Fall Color
Show.
Altrusa’s Art Show & Sale
this year will feature many
original framed 2-D paintings
as well as various forms of
3-D art. The featured artist is Lynn
Marit Peterson who is a well
known local watercolor artist.
She also taught a water color
workshop for beginners at the
club’s art show last year.
In addition to the featured
artist, there will be 23 participating in the art show and
sale. This is a great opportunity
for the public to view the
work of many local artists all
under one roof. In addition to
original framed paintings,
there will be prints and cards
for sale.
Peterson is an accomplished watercolor artist in a
wide range of subject matter. She realized early in her art
career that female names may
change, so she decided to
always use her middle name
Marit as her art signature,
which turned out to be a good
choice since she is happily
married to Steven Peterson.
After teaching mainly
junior high school art for 26
years (and being a “jack-of-alltrades), she finally settled
down a few years ago to
explore watercolor. Now a devotee to the medium, there always is a painting
sitting before her. With an
abundance of breathtaking
landscapes constantly changing in a never-ending parade
of shapes, shades and shadows, she is on inspiration
overload. As a member of the Eastern
Sierra Plein Air Painters, her
senses have been introduced
to the pleasures of painting
on location. She also enjoys painting in
her studio where light flooding in her window on some
object will motivate her to
take brush in hand. She is
especially excited with the
possibilities of carefully combining color and composition
and strives to make each
painting an expression of
what she sees.
Peterson received a bachelor of science in visual design
from Auburn University, a
master’s in art from University
of South Carolina and has
taken and taught many art
classes over the years.
Some of the art workshops
she has attended include ones
from Peggy Gray, Rhett
Thurman, Dale Laitinen, Diane
Maxey, Tom Fong, Phyl Doyon,
Lian Quan Zhen and Kathleen
Scoggin. Her work has been exhibited in numerous galleries and
shows. She currently has her work
at Inyo Council of the Arts,
Bishop Art Supply Gallery,
Thai Thai Restaurant, Lone
Pine Chamber of Commerce
Gallery, Mono Council of the
Arts and Range and River
Bookstore. Peterson has participated
as a watercolor artist in the
Altrusa Art Show and Sale
every year since 2006 and will
be the Featured Artist this
year.
She also enjoys volunteering with the Eastern Sierra
Land Trust helping with their
Art for Conservation program. After retiring from teaching in Germany with the
Department
of
Defense
Schools at Rhein Main Air
Base she now resides with her
husband, Steve, in Paradise in
the Eastern Sierra Nevada
overlooking
the
Owens
Valley.
“I loved teaching art in
schools for the major part of
my life, but now I enjoy having my own time – allowing
me to explore the world
through my art,” Peterson
said. “My hope is to bring to
others the visual joy I experience with paper and paint.” Some of Peterson’s artistic
accomplishments have been:
• She was a featured artist
in Langenheim, Germany, and
exhibited with The Department
of Defense Schools several
times and co-produced an art
magazine for the department. • She also has participated
in numerous shows with the
Eastern Sierra Plein Air
Painters in Bishop, at Convict
Lake, in Mammoth Lakes, at
the Lone Pine Film Museum,
several holiday shows, and in
Culver City. • She was the featured artist in 2013 for the Inyo Council
for the Arts. • She has participated in
many Fukuhara shows since
2007 in California galleries in
Torrance, Thousand Oaks,
Palos Verdes, Mammoth
Lakes, Bishop and Lone Pine. • She also has received
several first-place and Best in
Category awards at the TriCounty Fair as well as Best in
Show in 2010 and has shown
with the Eastern Sierra Land
Trust shows. Her watercolor paintings
have been featured on the
cover of Mammoth Sierra
Magazine Festivals and Events
guide in 2011; Master
Gardeners of Inyo and Mono
Counties 2014 Calendar; and
Saving Land, Spring 2014, a
quarterly magazine published
by the national Land Trust
Alliance; and the Eastern

Chet Atkins’
“Hero” to take
stage Sunday
Special to The Inyo Register
Having witnessed one of
his live performances, fellow
musicians and music lovers
alike sing hymns of praise
about world-renowned fingerstyle guitarist Richard Smith,
who will be bringing his finger-picking magic to the
Millpond Music Festival this
weekend.
Smith’s ever-growing repertoire comprises a wide variety of music from classical
Bach to Beatles pop. It includes
Scott Joplin rags and Sousa
marches, Chopin, Mozart and
fiddle tunes. It ranges from
jazz standards to Chet Atkins
and Jerry Reed, to Django
Reinhardt gypsy swing, and
on top of it all, his intriguing
originals.
Smith’s stylistic diversity
springs from a lifelong love of
music. Born in Beckenham,
Kent, England, in 1971, Smith
started playing guitar at age 5
under the instruction of his
father. Concentrating initially
on the country picking of Chet
Atkins and Merle Travis,
young Smith digested everything he heard. It seemed that
not only did he possess amazing physical skill, but a photographic musical memory as
well.
Often, a single hearing was
all it took to get a piece under
his fingers – using all 10 to
play bass, rhythm and melody
simultaneously and creating a
universe of sounds, all the
while switching between
thumb-picking and flat-picking like hardly anybody else.
Smith first met his hero,
the “Godfather” of fingerstyle
guitar, Atkins, when he was
only 11. Smith was invited by
Lynn Marit Peterson, a local watercolor artist and teacher, is the featured artist at this year’s Altrusa
Art Show and Sale.

Atkins to share the stage with
him at Her Majesty’s Theatre
in London in front of an audience of 1,000. At first, the
master accompanied him, but
later on he just listened in
stunned silence while the child
played Atkins’ own arrangements perfectly.
By the time Smith reached
his early 20s, both Atkins and
Reed began to refer to him as
their “hero.”
Now residing in Nashville,
Smith has toured the world as
a solo artist, as a duo with his
wife, Julie Adams, on cello,
with his brothers Rob and
Sam as the Richard Smith
Guitar Trio, and with his swing
band The Hot Club of
Nashville, featuring Stuart
Duncan on fiddle, Pat Bergeson
on guitar and Charlie Chadwick
on bass. Fellow guitar wizard
Tommy Emmanuel prefers
Smith as one of his favorite
duet partners. In 2001, Smith
became
the
National
Fingerstyle Guitar Champion
in Winfield, Kan. He was elected Thumbpicker of the Year in
2008 and inducted into the
National Thumbpickers Hall
of Fame in Kentucky in 2009.
He is also a recipient of the
Golden Thumbpick Award by
the Association of Fingerstyle
Guitarists in California.
Smith will be performing
solo at the Millpond festival,
Sunday afternoon, and also
will be presenting a fingerstyle
workshop for guitar players.
