File photo 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.

Vol. 145, Issue 112 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.

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. Once the change of venue See suit E Page 3 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 See fires E Page 5 The Inyo Register 2 THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 2015 obituary notices Joseph H.

For more information about the open house and/or upcoming workshops, contact Philip at (760) 920-8013 or [email protected]. Starting on Sept. 28, the Uptown, Downtown, and Shotgun mountain bike trails will be closed as part of the continued thinning projects occurring on the Inyo National Forest this fall, according to a U.S. Forest Service press release. This project is located between the Forest Trail/ Minarets Road junction along the south side of the Minarets Road to the Chair 4 Parking Lot of Mammoth Mountain Ski Area. The closure is expected to last one to two weeks while crews conduct the thinning project and is in place to ensure the safety of the workers and the public. The trails will be signed and your cooperation is appreciated while this necessary work is completed. The project is being conducted in the fall to reduce impacts to recreational users. Thinning reduces wildfire spread and intensity by removing surface and ladder fuels that crews will pile to be safely burned in the winter months. suit Continued from front page 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.

Fax (760) 873-3591 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. (Carne Lowgren lives in Bishop and plays wherever he can. After decades of blue collar work, he is now a desk jockey pushing pixels at a state agency.) IN APPRECIATION 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. Jim Eyerly Bishop 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.

Photo submitted by Rose Harris 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.

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- COMMUNITY CALENDAR Private businesses or groups holding events for profit are not eligible to use this section.

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.

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.

The Inyo Register sports 12 thursday, september 17, 2015 Tight Lines Fly selection The Broncos’ Mike Molina cradles the ball tightly as Mammoth’s Stephen Frazier (60) gets a grip. Photo by Greg Lippincott Quick hit: weekend football preview All home games this weekend By Louis Israel 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. Big Pine Big Pine also opens their 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. (Fred Rowe owns Sierra Bright Dot Fly Fishing Specialty.

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.

The Lady Eagles finished second in Friday’s pool play and 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 City 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.

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. The Inyo Register national sports 13 thursday, september 17, 2015 The Sportsbook 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. Rams 34 / Seahawks 31 Louis Israel sports Columnist 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.

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.

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.” (Mark Vasto is a veteran sportswriter who lives in Kansas City. © 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.) The Inyo Register 14 ARTS&LEISURE THURSDAY, september 17, 2015 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.

Finger- and thumb-picking wizard to perform at Millpond 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 Sierra Land Trust Facebook post. He work can be found at her website LMaritArt.com.

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. File photo Richard Smith 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. sierra sounds upcoming gigs, shows & concerts • DJ Rodney-O will provide the beats for Rusty’s Saloon’s Annual End of Summer Beach Party, scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 19.
