The Nevada City
Film Festival is here!
Submitted to Prospector
The 17th annual Nevada
City Film Festival will official-
ly begin Sept. 8 and continue
through Sept. 15 in various
venues throughout down-
town Nevada City.
With over 100 films, a
virtual reality and multime-
dia pavilion, and four special
After Dark events, the annual
festival is shaping up to be a
week of thought-provoking
entertainment.
With all that the festival
entails, the films remain
the focus of what has been
dubbed “The Sundance of the
Sierra” by Sacramento News
& Review.
Sept. 9 will find Nevada
City Film Festival partnering
with sponsors Music In The
Mountains and InConcert
Sierra for the Nevada County
premiere of SCORE: A Film
Music Documentary at the
Nevada Theatre at 7 p.m.
The film brings Hol-
lywood’s elite composers
together to give viewers a
privileged look inside the mu-
sical challenges and creative
secrecy of the world’s most
international music genre:
the film score.
A film composer is a mu-
sical scientist of sorts, and
the influence they have to
complement a film and gar-
ner powerful reactions from
global audiences can be a
daunting task to take on.
The documentary contains
interviews with dozens of
film composers who discuss
their craft and the magic of
film music while exploring
the making of the most iconic
and beloved scores in history:
“James Bond”, “Star Wars,”
“Indiana Jones,” “Pirates of
the Caribbean,” “Titanic,”
“The Social Network,” “Mad
Max: Fury Road,” and
“Psycho.”
For younger audiences,
the festival will present their
Children’s Program — SHINE
ON! — at 1 p.m., Sept. 9, in
the Osborn Woods Hall at the
Miners Foundry.
The program is a collection
of The Best Animated Films
from the Children’s Film Fes-
tival Seattle 2017.
They ask the question:
What makes you shine? The
characters in these sweet
and funny films have special
things that make them glow
and grow. Join them as they
play with their friends and
families, discover new things
about themselves, and em-
bark on journeys to near and
far. Children are free when
accompanied by an adult.
Included in their Matters of
Spirit program — showing 3
p.m. on Sept. 9 at the Miners
Foundry — is the 30-min-
ute film Ram Dass: Going
Home, a profound and poetic
encounter with cultural and
spiritual icon Ram Dass, at
his home on Maui toward the
end of his life.
This program also includes
Defend the Sacred (Standing
Rock), an award-winning
short documentary that at-
tempts to capture the spirit of
Indigenous people at Stand-
ing Rock.
Rounding out the program
are two short films that also
examine compassion and an
abiding send of the sacred in
a material world.
Another documentary
Olancho, directed by Chris-
topher Valdes and Theodore
Griswold, about a group
of musicians who regular-
ly perform for some of the
most powerful drug cartels in

Alice
Founder of Chez Panisse brings
her food revolution to Grass Valley
By Laura Petersen
Special to Prospector
“We need to eat with intention.
Waters
Every bite,” said Alice Waters.
It’s a message that remains strong
more than four decades after the
author, activist and mother of the
slow food movement felt empow-
ered to first open her Berkeley fixed
menu restaurant, Chez Panisse, in
1971 at the age of 27.
“I just like to cook. I guess I was a
revolutionary,” said Waters, remem-
bering those early years heavily
influenced by 1960s counterculture,
the antiwar movement and a sub-
urban New Jersey childhood eating
SUBMITTED PHOTO TO PROSPECTOR
from her father’s Victory Garden.
Her memoir and most person-
al writing to date, “Coming to My
Senses: The Making of a Counter-
culture Cook” hit bookstore shelves
on Tuesday, Sept. 5.
Book reviews have appeared in
rapid fire by the New Yorker, the
Associated Press, Chicago Tribune
and the New York Times.
On Friday, Waters will visit Grass
Valley for the first time to talk
about her life’s work fighting to pre-
serve a basic and profound right —
the act of eating good food.
In a busy world, Waters message
carries more weight than ever —
know your farmer and know where

your food comes from.
“Nothing is more important than that.
Fortunately it’s a very nourishing endeav-
or. It’s not hard and it brings so much
pleasure,” said Waters.
Waters will sign her new book at a meet
and greet at The Center for the Arts, Off
Center Stage from 6 to 7:15 p.m. Friday.
World-renown California winemak-
ers Joel Peterson “the Godfather of Zin”
(Ravenswood), Bill Easton (Terre Rouge
and Easton Wines) and Randle John-
son (Artezin) will pour Zinfandel while
former Chez Panisse Chef and cookbook
collaborator Alan Tangren serves local
food appetizers.
Beginning at 8 p.m., Beth Ruyak, host
of Capitol Public Radio’s “Insight” will
conduct a live interview in the Main
Stage Theatre called, “In Conversation
with Alice Waters.”
A WRITING LIFE
Waters is the author of more than 15
books, including New York Times best-
sellers, “The Art of Simple Food” I & II
and “The Edible Schoolyard: A Universal
Idea.”
Yet she struggled to find her voice for
her memoir, the most personal writing to
date. For the first time, Waters depart-
ed from the “We” voice customary of her
restaurant’s cookbooks and chose the
brave pronoun, “I.”
She approached the book similar to the
way she writes recipes, collaboratively,
and by talking it through and making
notes.
“I don’t think of my dish and how to do
it. I’m looking for what strikes me — a
composite,” she said.
With the help of her two good friends,
Bob Carrau and Cristina Mueller, both
writers, Waters explored her past. Like a
therapy session, her friends asked ques-
tions and probed deeper. Memories sur-
faced. Waters re-discovered herself.
The book traces her years backpack-
ing in Europe where she fell in love with
French cooking.
“I was lucky that I went to France at
that time. This is a slow food country.
“
I can’t think of a better way
to support rural development
than to buy from farmers out in the
country who farm sustainably,
People eat meals together,” said Waters.
In the pages of her book, she recounts
stories of passionate love affairs, of dab-
bling with psychedelic drugs, days as a
young activist cooking for Bay Area an-
tiwar organizers and finally brings to life
the colorful, chaotic opening night of her
French restaurant.
A DELICIOUS REVOLUTION
For over four decades, Waters has
championed for local sustainable agricul-
ture and shows no signs of slowing down.
Every year, she pauses to reflect on her
path, and every year she realizes the jour-
ney is still hers. She’s not ready to retire.
“Yes, this is the work I want to do. It’s
very vital. I find it endlessly interesting,”
she said.
In 1995 she founded the Edible School-
yard Project, advocating for a free school
lunch for all children and a sustainable
food curriculum in every public school.
She remains committed to this cause
and has not given up hope that commu-
nities can prevail in the face of powerful
corporate agriculture and a fast food na-
tion. In Waters view, connecting schools
with local farmers can change the world.
“This is about social justice. This is
about bringing children to the table and
feeding them,” said Waters.
Chez Panisse serves as a “think tank”
for Waters bigger philanthropic endeav-
ors for young people. The way the restau-
rant buys food from local farms, serves as
a model for the Edible Schoolyard Proj-
ect, says Waters, a mother of one who has
written two children’s books.
“I can’t think of a better way to sup-
port rural development than to buy from
farmers out in the country who farm sus-
tainably,” she said.
Waters sees a time when school lunches
are treated with the same respect as phys-
ical education and woven into the daily
curriculum with student run gardens and
cafeterias and Spanish lessons.
Political support will be required to
make her vision a reality and Waters is
poised to make her voice heard.
Since 2002, Waters has been Vice

Born in 1944, she can remember a
slower time, when families sat down
at the dinner table together, before the
bombardment of global information and
the distraction of technology. Now more
than ever, food choices are statements of
humanity.
“We don’t realize we are buying values.
It’s such a moral issue. This is a very deli-
cious revolution,” said Waters.

Theatre By the Book presents: ‘Talley’s Folly’
Submitted to Prospector
On Wednesday, Sept. 13,
Sierra Stages and the Min-
ers Foundry will present
the romantic comedy “Tall-
ey’s Folly.”
Written by Lanford
Wilson, directed by Sara
Noah and featuring guest
readers Nadia White and
John Bivens, “Talley’s Folly”
is part of Theater By the
Book, a series of infor-
mal play readings for the
community.
Wilson’s Pulitzer
Prize-winning play is set at
a deserted Victorian boat-
house on the Talley place in
Lebanon, Missouri in 1944.
Matt Friedman, an
accountant from St. Louis,
has arrived to plead his love
to Sally Talley, the suscepti-
ble, but uncertain daughter
of the family.
Bookish, erudite, totally
honest and delightfully
funny, Matt refuses to ac-
cept Sally’s rebuffs and her
fears that her family would
never approve of their
marriage.
Charming and indomita-
ble, he gradually overcomes
her defenses, telling his in-
nermost secrets to his loved
one and, in return, learning
hers as well.
Gradually he awakens
Sally to the possibilities of
a life together until, in the
final, touching moments of
the play, it is clear that they
are two kindred spirits who
have truly found each other
— two “lame ducks” who,
in their union, will find a
wholeness rare in human
relationships.
“I suppose I am a roman-
tic at heart and still believe
it is never too late to find
love,” says Noah on why she
was attracted to the play. “I
love the uniqueness of Sally
and Matt’s story; Lanford
Wilson was a master at
bringing characters to life.”
Noah, who currently
teaches Drama and En-
glish at Bear River High
School, asked local actors

On Sept. 14 the Nevada City Film
Festival will welcome back quirky
humorist Eric Wareheim for an eve-
ning of side-splitting comedy.
The event continues the festival’s
After Dark series, and will take place
at The Stone House in Nevada City.
Wareheim’s a friend of the festi-
val, and his appearances throughout
the years remain some of the most
popular events in Nevada City Film
Festival history.

Community Services
Celebrates the End

Serving seniors through meals on
wheel and firewood program
by SHANIN YBARRONDO

S
ummer may be ending, but you can celebrate with Gold Country
Community Services (GCCS) at their End of Summer Bash! GCCS
invites friends and business supporters to the 3rd Annual End of
Summer Bash at 5:00 p.m. on Saturday, September 16, at Rincon del Rio.
This important annual fundraising event ensures vital senior services
remain available in Western Nevada County. The purpose of the event is to
raise funds for Meals on Wheels, Senior Firewood and other vital services
GCCS provides.
“Business is booming”, says Sandy Jacobson, GCCS Executive Director;
“and frankly we are having a hard time keeping up.”
Keeping with tradition, the “SUMMER BASH” is co-hosted by Rincon del
Rio and Jardin del Rio. At $75 per person, this all-inclusive event includes
a bountiful dinner, dessert, hosted bar, live music, beach games and RC
boat races. Attendees can also relax with some hors d’oeuvres and a

cocktail and on the shores of the beautiful Bear River.
There are two bars, one on the beach and one during dinner, both serving
beer, cocktails, and an array of wines donated from a private cellar. Before
the dinner bell sounds, attendees can join in on the popular pig races and
place bets on: Kevin Bacon, Spamela Anderson, Hamlet, and Wilbur just to
name a few!
Then after the games, dinner is served buffet style.  The seating is on
picnic tables family style, so you can get to know your neighbors while
you enjoy a delicious community dinner.  The dessert is fresh peach
cobbler.  During dinner there will be an

Here’s how to make ZUCCHINI OAT MUFFINS

good for you besides sweetness, provide

special To THE WASHINGTON POST ·
ELLIE KRIEGER
However healthy it may seem, the presence of
shredded zucchini in a quick bread or muffin doesn’t
make it good for you. Most are still essentially forms
of cake, held up with lots of butter, refined flour and
sugar.
That’s not necessarily a bad thing once in a while,
but for everyday breakfast and snacking you probably
want something more nutritious and less dessert-
like. The problem is that truly healthy muffins and
quick breads - with or without zucchini - are often
disappointing: dry, leaden and rubbery. Not so with
these. They are the best of both worlds, genuinely
good for you but also desirably moist, tender and
fragrant. Lightly sweetened, flecked with zucchini,
and made with healthy oil, whole grain flour and
rolled oats, they have a wholesome sensibility and
hearty texture that pulls them away from the dessert
realm into the daily sustenance category, in a good
way.
Not only do they taste good, you’ll feel good
eating one of these zucchini muffins to start your day
or fuel you midafternoon.
They get most of their sweetness from dried
dates, which also provide a deep flavor, valuable
nutrients and fiber. The dates are soaked in water,
then pureed until they form a smooth paste. Just
a little white sugar - a quarter of what is in a typical
recipe - is needed to round out the muffin’s flavor.
Soft whole-grain pastry flour keeps the crumb tender,
while rolled oats add a rustic texture and walnuts an
element of crunch.
The zucchini (which needs to be drained of most of
its water), eggs, oil, and date paste together provide
enough liquid so that no milk or other fluid is needed.
The tasty, cinnamon-scented muffins make for an
energizing on-the-go treat, so do yourself a favor
and make an extra batch. Wrap them individually
in plastic wrap and freeze so you have one to grab
when you need it.

on the air
‘Cinematic Folk’ concert comes to KVMR
From Emmy-winning composer to folk blues artist
Special to Prospector
“If the Carter family, Robbie
Robertson and Alfred Hitchcock
had written songs together, they
might sound like this.”
That’s singer-songwriter and
Emmy-winning composer Ernest
Troost’s self-introduction when he
takes the stage.
Whether he’s playing for festi-
val-goers at the prestigious Kerr-
ville Folk Festival in Texas, where
he was named New Folk Winner
in 2009, or performing a live
broadcast concert on KVMR 89.5
FM from the Nevada City radio
station’s Community Room at 5
p.m. Sunday, with Dakota Sid and
Friends opening the festivities.
It’s a clever statement that hints
at the spirit of his folk-blues tunes
— and Troost himself. When
audiences hear his Piedmont
blues melodies and deftly detailed
lyrics, they’re usually curious to
learn more about him.
Some say the “big dream” for
many singer-songwriters is to
have their work used in film or TV
scores. Troost did the reverse.
After studying jazz guitar and
classical music at Berklee College
of Music, he emerged with a prag-
matic desire to “make my living
composing music,” which led
him to Hollywood, writing scores
for TV and films, including the
cult classic “Tremors”, HBO’s “A
Lesson Before Dying” and many
Hallmark Hall of Fame specials.
He’s earned quite the list of
awards and accolades for his
work, including four Emmy nomi-
nations plus a 1996 Emmy win
for the music in “The Canterbury
Ghost,” a made-for-television
adaptation of the Oscar Wilde no-
vella starring Patrick Stewart.
Troost has also composed, ar-
ranged and produced two critical-
ly praised albums for, yup, Judy
Collins.
Now that’s a resume on which
many artists would happily rest
their laurels, but commercial
success didn’t still the nagging
restlessness Troost felt inside.
A decade or so ago, he had “an
epiphany” when he strolled into
McCabe’s, Santa Monica’s leg-
endary guitar shop and concert
venue.
“I walked in there and was
overwhelmed with this feeling,
this amazing vibration from the
place, very warm and friendly,”
said Troost.
“Songwriting was something I
had put in the trunk and sat on
for 20 years because it was an im-
practical thing to do. But I said,
‘OK, the scariest thing I could do
in my life is write a song and go
up on stage and play it.’ I had not
done it since high school. So I
decided, ‘That’s what I’m going to
do,’” he said.
A month later, Troost did just
that, returning to McCabe’s for an
open mic night, where he played
“All the Boats Are Gonna Rise.”
“I thought I was going to have
a heart attack onstage, I really
did,” he said with a laugh. “But I
got through it. And people went
nuts for the song. Three or four
open mic nights later, I played
‘Evangeline,’ and the pro sound-
man grabbed me and said, ‘That’s
the best song I’ve heard at an
open mic in the last ten years.’
Those people gave me the confi-
dence to take time to focus on my
songwriting.”
That “Evangeline” song later be-
came a hit for singer Suzie Glaze.
Off he was, boning up on his
Piedmonth blues guitar style and
writing folk songs that more like
stories or screenplays.
As word spread about Troost,
other LA singer-songwriters start-
ed covering his songs, including
Nicole Gordon.
“Ernest’s songs allow me to go

from a 1920s whodunit mystery.
His songs are thoughtful and
timeless.”
Maybe that part of his lyrics are
influenced by stories his father
would read out loud when Troost
was a boy — like Coldridge’s
“Rime Of The Ancient Mariner”
and Poe’s “Raven.”
“I call my songwriting style

South Yuba River Citizens League
celebrates 20th annual Yuba River cleanup
Submitted to Prospector
For the 20th year, the
South Yuba River Citizens
League will hold its annual
Yuba River Cleanup on Sat-
urday, Sept. 16.
The Yuba River Cleanup
is one of the largest of its
kind in the Sierra region,
and it relies on the power
of 800 volunteers to work
at dozens of sites across the
region, from Donner Sum-
mit to the Lower Yuba.
On Sept. 16, hundreds of
volunteers will embark on a
watershed-wide hunt to rid
the river of everything from
micro-garbage like cigarette
butts, bottle caps, shards
of glass, and dog waste, to
large and outlandish items
such as washers, trailers
and cars.
After the cleanup, volun-
teers are invited to the Vol-
unteer Appreciation Party
in Pioneer Park, Nevada
City, from 1-5 p.m., to enjoy
music by Scott Nice and
Ayla Nereo, great company,
and a no-host beer garden.
Volunteers registered
by Sept. 11 will receive a
delicious complimentary
lunch. Registration is at:
YubaRiver.org.
According to Jenn Tamo,
South Yuba River Citi-
zens League’s Community
Engagement Manager,
“This year the Cleanup is
particularly significant. For
20 years, SYRCL has been
uniting the community to
clean the Yuba.”
“Keeping the river clean,
safe and healthy requires all
us who love the Yuba to be
active stewards. The Yuba
has received a lot of love
this summer and it’s time
to give back. Dedicating a
few hours of work on Sept.
16 will make a significant
difference for the health of
the Yuba and Bear rivers,”
said Tamo.
Nereo and Nice will be
the featured performers at
the Volunteer Appreciation
Party after the Cleanup.

Popular Reading Series
Moves to a New High-Ambiance Venue: The National Hotel
Sept. 14 Yuba Lit features
three masterful short story
writers, including acclaimed
Nevada City author Josh Weil
Submitted to Prospector
Returning from summer hiatus, the
popular reading series Yuba Lit will present
three masterful short story writers Thurs-
day, Sept. 14, at Nevada City’s National
Hotel.
The lively evening, which begins at 7
p.m., is a chance to hear three acclaimed
literary artists read their work and can-
didly discuss their process in the intimate,
high-ambiance setting of the National
Hotel’s dining room.
Two of the writers featured on “Yuba
Lit: The Art of the Short Story” are local
writers with national reputations.
Nevada City resident Josh Weil won the
Dayton Literary Peace Prize for his novel
“The Great Glass Sea,” and is well known
within literary circles for his collection of
novellas, “The New Valley.”
His just-released collection of short sto-
ries is “The Age of Perpetual Light.”
Kirkus Reviews described The Age of
Perpetual Light as, “A rich, often daz-
zling collection of short stories linked by
themes while ranging widely in style from
Babel-like fables to gritty noir and sci-fi”
and proclaimed “Weil’s stories are engross-
ing, persuasively detailed, and written with
a deep affection for the way language can,
in masterful hands, convey us to marvelous
new worlds.”
Also a local luminary, Nevada City’s Louis
B. Jones is the author of four novels, includ-
ing three New York Times Notable books.
His latest release is a story in “ZYZZY-
VA,” the prestigious journal for West Coast
writing.
Jones is a National Endowment for
the Arts Fellow and co-directs the fiction
program at the Community of Writers at
Squaw Valley.
Part of Yuba Lit’s mission is to introduce

49er Rotary Celebrates 26th Annual Duck Race

Submitted to Prospector
Several thousand racing
ducks splash into the rapids of
Deer Creek on Sunday, Sept. 10,
as the 49er Breakfast Rotary
Club of Nevada City presents
its 26th annual Gold Country
Duck Race.
The Duck Race culminates a
big Nevada City weekend that
includes Revolutionary War
reenactments in Pioneer Park
Saturday and Sunday and the
51st Annual Nevada City Con-
stitution Day Parade through
the downtown historic district
at 2 p.m. Sunday.
Rotarians and other commu-
nity groups are now distribut-
ing Duck Race entry tickets.
A $5 donation allows holders
to compete for a $5000 grand
prize, $1000 second prize and
$500 third prize. Many other
prizes also will be awarded.
“The Duck Race has been our
only fundraiser for 26 years,”
said 49er Rotary President
Mary Anne Davis.
“Because of the generosity
of our community we are able
to turn our ticket sales money
around and put it back into
the community projects we
support. Everybody wins,” said
Davis.
The duck race is centered
along Deer Creek at the foot of
Broad Street.
The race festival opens at 1
p.m. with food, drink, music Deer Creek will have several thousand rubber ducks swimming to the finish line for the 26th annual Gold
Country Duck Race.
