In this issue, we focus largely on what’s important to us during the month of October: beer and Halloween. But that’s not all we have in store for you. We also feature Dan Carter and his amazing 5th Street Bakehouse, JDRF’s “Power of Ten” fundraising event, and jewelry designed by fellow Aries, Karla Friscia. No matter what you do this month, be sure to support our local community! Cheers, mm.

Siting directly next to Cue and Cushion on the corner of 5th Street and Keystone Avenue, 5th Street Bakehouse is outwardly modest to passersby, but its appearance does not reflect the boldness of the delicacies served inside. The 5th Street Bakehouse has been open for five months. Owner Daniel Carter, a Reno local and a graduate from the Culinary Institute of America in Napa Valley, says, “I don’t know what it is yet… the neighbor-hood will decide.” Whatever the neighborhood does decide, Carter will de-liver. The Bakehouse makes everything from scratch using local and organic ingredients, including its own cream and

homemade chorizo. True to the bakery’s prom-ise, the chorizo was a request from one of the regulars. The breakfast menu includes a few egg choices, but the obvious star is “El Jefe,” a breakfast burrito with chorizo, scrambled eggs, black bean spread and avocado relish. You can taste the difference in the home-made breads when you eat one of their sand-wiches. I tried the Chicken Chipotle for lunch. Made on a fresh focaccia role with juicy

chicken breast covered in chipotle aioli and a delicious relish, this sandwich satisfied my hunger for only $7. Served with a mixed green salad, the

portion size was perfect for a quick lunch. The lunch menu also features a North Caro-

lina Pulled Pork sandwich with a superior potato salad. For someone who claims, “I am not really a morning person,” Carter says he

enjoys baking fresh pastries, including ham and cheese croissants and bear claws, every morning. The pastries are set out on a display case every morning at 7am so that customers can serve themselves. Depending on the day, there might even be scones and danishes. The pastry case sits right next to the ice cream freezer where customers can choose between the familiar, comfort flavors and the Bake-house’s unique homemade flavors, like Cracker Jack and rum raisin. The croissants are rich and buttery and especially good if eaten when hot. Unfortu-nately for me, I arrived a few hours after they had cooled off. The menu appears small, but Carter cre-ates specials everyday. Weekend specials for breakfast include French toast and bis-cuits and gravy. Another regular created a sandwich that will be added to the menu soon, called “The Momo.” The Momo is made up of turkey breast, roasted red peppers, avocado, Anaheim rel-ish, red onion, and feta cheese, served on fresh focaccia. There are also cakes on dis-play. A slice of chocolate strawberry cake goes for $2.95.

The 5th Street Bakehouse is a full restau-rant, serving breakfast and lunch all day, in-cluding coffee and soon beer and wine. They serve Truckee’s Bonzai Coffee, an organic and free trade coffee at a reasonable price. The Bakehouse also wholesales baked goods to coffeehouses and restaurants around town, including The Hub. If you are looking for fresh food and a chef who is eager to please, come on down to the 5th Street Bakehouse and let Daniel Carter know what you’re hungry for.Text by Izzy LaBranchPhotos by David Calvert

Brewing your own beer is a very simple process. You basically start by boiling water and adding grains and hops to produce a wort. Once you cool the wort down, add yeast and stick it in a bucket for a week. Then you’ll siphon that into bottles or a keg, which need to be kept in the fridge for another two weeks. Finally, your beer is ready to drink. The process can become in-finitely more complicated, but that is brew-ing at its most simple and basic level. Although making homemade beer intimi-dates a lot of people, Rob Bates, owner of Reno Homebrewer, says one need only be able to perform three tasks: boil water, keep everything sterile, and most difficult of all, wait three weeks.

GETTING STARTEDMost homebrew stores have starter kits avail-able for beginning beer makers. Kits come with two buckets (fermentors), airlocks, spouts, tubes, a bottle capper, caps and in-gredients for the first batch of brew. The kit costs about $100 at Reno Homebrewer.

Then you need a pot to boil the water, preferably a stain-less steel pot that can hold at least six gallons. Restaurant sup-ply stores have a wide selection of pots with good prices. A six-gallon (24-quart) stain-less steel pot will cost about $90 at Resco. I would also recommend getting a five-gal-lon carboy, a glass ($44) or plastic ($25) wa-ter-cooler-like jug. The carboy fermenter is useful for a number of reasons, one of which is not needing to start a siphon, which is a pain in the ass. Buying an auto siphon costs $11 to $20 and will save you some grief. Now you can get started to brewing your own beer. But before you run out to the near-est homebrew store, we have some advice courtesy of Nevada Street Bucket Brewing. These tips should take you from rank ama-teur to the level of somewhat knowledgeable beer newbie.

ClEANlINESS IS ClOSEST TO DRUNKENNESS

The easiest and most important step for a good beer is to ClEAN EVERYTHING. Brewing beer is basically fermenting bacteria to produce that yummy alco-

hol. If foreign bacteria get into your brew, it’ll make it icky. And not the Icky you get from Great Basin Brewery… the kind of icky that makes you puke. Homebrew stores have great cleaners made specifically for brewing. A lot of brewers like the Star Sans line. Idofor is an iodine mixture so you don’t have to rinse off your equipment. A spray bottle full of Idofor, and water is super useful for quick and easy sanitizing.

COOlING OFFWort is basically the food yeast eats to make alcohol. And before you “pitch” the yeast, the wort should be under 80 F. The quicker the wort’s temperature is brought down from a boil to 80 degrees, the less oxidized the beer will be. less oxygen in the beer means clearer and cleaner-tasting beer. An ice bath in the sink works great to cool it down. Another option is to buy a wort chiller - a copper tube brewers run cold water through to cool their beer off. There are thousands of different wort chillers at a variety of prices, but the most standard cost around $60.

KEEPING YOUR COOlFinding a good place to keep your unfinished beer can be difficult. Beer ferments typically between 60 F and 75 F. Closets, cabinets or garages work well, but remember, the beer will suck the temperature from concrete. It’s crucial to ensure the beer isn’t anywhere too bright. A glass of water with a thermometer helps you get a good idea of what temperature your beer will be at. If you are having trouble keeping your beer cool, you can put it in a basin of water with a T-shirt over the bucket. The shirt will wick the water up the bucket, cooling the beer by 15 to 20 degrees.

GET SCHOOlED AND STAY EDUCATEDThere are many great books on the subject of homebrewing. Tom Baldwin from Reno Home-brewer suggests “Dave Miller’s Homebrewing Guide: Everything You Need to Know to Make Great-Tasting Beer” and “The Complete Joy of Homebrewing” by Charles Papazian. Homebrewtalk.com is a very useful website with forums and a wiki. To find local home-brewers, look up Nevada Street Bucket Brew-ing and Tidepool Brewing Co. on Facebook. The Reno Homebrewer also has a brew-ers club, called Washoe Zephyr Zymurgists. It costs $25 a year to join. They meet once a month, drink beer, troubleshoot and sometimes go to events like Oktoberfest and beer camps. There you have it. Homebrewing is as easy as one, two, three, drink.

Brewing with B-DuB

photos by mike higdon

When Brandon Wright says he makes “hand-crafted” beer, he’s serious. “At big brewere-ries,” he says while shoveling grain into a dumpster, “they have machines for this.” But not at Silver Peak Restaraunt and Brewery. No, at Silver Peak every pint is brewed and poured with passion. And hard work. And with more than four million pints to his name in his four years as brewmaster, “B-Dub” knows his craft. last month, Wright and the Silver Peak team left the brewery for a few days and attended the Great American Beer Festival in Denver. And although they didn’t bring home any hardware, it’s not too late to try some of the beer they entered. The next time you’re thirsty, stop by Wonder Street and throwback a tall, cold one.



What began as an excuse to get a few friends together has become one of the city’s biggest and funnest fall events as the Reno Zombie Crawl returns for its third year. The bar crawl, which will spread across more than 15 bars in the downtown Reno area, is expected to draw more than 3,000 participants dressed as zombies, victims and other similar characters.

Event organizer and admitted zombie-fa-natic Ed Adkins says that the crawl began in 2008 because he wanted to arrange a fun bar crawl to celebrate his October birthday with his friends. The response was overwhelming, with 300 people coming out that year, which then grew to more than 2,400 in 2009. “I never dreamt the crawl would grow this fast, but I guess that’s why zombies always

win,” said Adkins, who lives in and runs two businesses in downtown Reno. He says that his passion for the area comes from Reno’s unique nightlife. Citing the Santa and Superhero crawls or-ganized by different groups as other ex-amples, he believes the creativity and good nature of Reno’s residents along with its all-night bars make it the most fun city in the US. “We’ve got such an amaz-ing 24-hour community in downtown that you don’t find anywhere else,” said Adkins. “And its evidenced by how many people love to get dressed up and partici-pate in these themed crawls.” Similar to the previous years, the crawl will include inexpensive drink specials for participants as well as a collective dance to Michael Jackson’s Thriller at some

point as well. Maps and cups will be available the night of the crawl for $5 at Amendment 21 (where the crawl officially starts), but a limited amount of $50 all-you-can-drink passes will go on sale before the event.

Eli Kerr’s Frightfest



W ho better to enhance the Hal-loween experience with mon-sters and mystery than a

professional magician and actor? Eli Kerr’s fifth annual Frightfest haunted house event returns to Meadowood Mall this year with over 7,000 feet of spine-chilling horror. “We’ve got a lot of new scares in there this year,” said Kerr as he worked on a few of the animatronic characters to be used in this year’s haunt. One particularly frightening figure returning this year is a convulsing dismembered grandma, complete with a walker and dan-gling entrails. Although some of the attrac-tions are mechanical, the house is filled predominantly with live actors. “On average, there’s around 40 actors in the house each night,” Kerr said. This large-scale event enlists over 100 members in cast and crew, primarily volun-teers, who show up to help after hearing about it and keep coming back each year. “He’s really fun to work with,” said Kerr’s sister and magician’s assistant, Katie Kerr. “We’re lucky to have all those people and all the support.” The actors get the opportunity to play up the fear factor as much as possible with full costumes and makeup. last year, they used between five and eight gallons of fake blood throughout the event.

“Another fun fact is that we go through about four giant bags of cough drops for the actors from all the screaming,” said friend and actor Andrew Ardens. Ardens has routinely provided the first scare of the house and also spearheads the

“zombertizing” for the event, which includes passing out flyers around town in full zombie attire, never breaking character. For Kerr, creating the haunted house was a natural progression from his full-time career as a stage magician. “It actually started out as a side job,” said Eli. “Me and a friend started talking about how fun it would be to do a haunted house, and then I got a few monsters from a guy I knew, which got the ball rolling.” Despite the enormous amount of work, Eli has decided to keep bringing the haunted house back year after year. He has collected thousands of pounds of canned food dona-tions for the Food Bank of Northern Nevada. “It’s like a challenge for him every year. I think he’s addicted,” said Katie. “He always loved Halloween as a kid too. He had several cos-tumes so we’d go out trick-or-treating, and then he’d go home and change and go out again.” Eli is also a welder and fabricator, and he makes much of what audiences see in the haunted house, in addition to making his own stage props and illusions. “I love performing, but I love to get dirty and weld and build stuff as well,” said Eli. “I build just about all of my props myself.” Eli started practicing magic as a hobby at age six, and it progressed quickly from there to him performing his first casino show when he was 15. He appeared in season 2 of NBC’s TV show “America’s Got Talent” and has been voted best magician in the Reno News and Review’s “Best of Northern Nevada” Guide. Eli is working on a possible small upcoming tour as well as on pitching three different re-ality tv shows. He is available for booking at www.elikerr.com. •

Ananda Designs is a jewelry-making and

design company cre-ated by Karla Friscia, a local artist whose passion and tal-ent for the arts expands way beyond jewelry making. Also a writer, a painter, and a dancer, Friscia’s love for self-expression and healing through art is apparent when asked about the inspiration behind Ananda Designs. “I create my designs based on color therapy principles, which is geared towards healing you on energetic and psycho-spiritual levels based on the reactions caused in the brain by different colors as well as the different vibra-tions carried by the rocks themselves,” said Friscia. With the use of semi-pre-cious stones and crystals, most of which are mined and/or easily found in our region, accompanied by ex-cellent craftsmanship, Friscia creates attractive jewelry

pieces that are simple yet slick and eye-catching. Her designs appeal to a wide audi-ence – females as

well as males – and they are not only up with the latest fashion styles, but also carry special healing properties for the person wearing it. “In our everyday lives, we are surrounded with electro-magnetic smog, and we, as electro-magnetic beings, can be affected by it, espe-cially in an office environ-ment with lots of machines,” said Friscia. “These stones are meant to ground and balance your energy to keep those disturbances from af-fecting you, so my main gig is not only to create beautiful pieces that are good to look

at, but also something that you feel good wearing. Plus I’m a total rock nerd, so it’s a great excuse for me to be playing with crystals.” Friscia specializes in cus-tom work for individual people, but she also has pieces for sale at Never Ender and the Kalifornia Jean Bar in Reno. You also find her designs online at http://www.etsy.com/people/karmalita.

RP Tip: Never Ender is lo-cated at 26 Cheney St. KJB is at 290 California Ave.

There aren’t only wedding dresses coming out of the Reno Bride and Tux Shop on California Avenue. laci Case, a tailor and costume designer from Portland, has began using her bridal shop as the headquarters to her new busi-ness, Costume Wizard, a cos-tume rental company. Case is a sweet, soft spoken lady, with bright blond hair and blue eyes. She smiles as she puts costumes on mannequins for me to view and simultane-ously takes phone calls for the bridal shop on her hands free headset. She is a busy woman, owning two other businesses on top of Costume Wizard. Costume design started as a hobby for her, and 25 years later, it is her career. “One of my friends asked me to create a costume for her,” said Case. “Next thing I knew, I had 25 or so costumes made, and my friends suggested I open a shop and rent them out.”

When Case moved to Reno, she stored over 2,000 of her costumes in her garage. Now she plans to move the cos-tumes into Reno Bride and Tux until she has a shop space to display them. The market for custom cos-tume design stores in Reno has shrunk with the closing of House of Black & White. Case has cornered this mar-ket with her stringent atten-tion to details and creative ability to fulfill almost any costume need at a reason-able price. Case provides a photo album full of eye catching and origi-nal costumes that she created over the years to help costum-ers choose an outfit or come up with original ideas. One of the highlights in her collection is a mermaid cos-

tume that Case sewed herself. With precise tailoring of metallic yellow and green form-fitting fabric, there’s no wonder this cos-

tume won three first place prizes in costume contests

that year. From Merlin to little

Bo Beep, there are several fun costumes to choose from. Case estimates around 2,000 costumes including Elvis, Glenda the Good Witch, Marilyn Mon-roe, Merlin, Kermit, Miss Piggy, Woody from Toy Story, Cinderella, the Grim Reaper, and several sets of common costumes re-quests, like cops, cowboys and firemen. “If you give me a few days notice,” said Case, “I can create a costume for you.” Costume rentals range from $40 to $75, depend-ing on the value and qual-ity. Glenda the Good Witch’s sequined ball gown rents for $75 with a crown, gemmed wand and shoes. All costumes come with wigs, shoes, and accesso-ries, so no purchase outside of the rental is necessary. No single item can be rented out individually, only as part of a full costume. Costume Wizard also pro-vides catalogues for special order costumes for purchase

if needed. Case says she can handle anything from school plays to corporate events or masquerade balls, with a few days’ notice to get the outfit just right. If you want a costume that is not cheaply made or lacking originality, check out Costume Wizard. laci Case will take the time to make you a memorable character.

You ask one person, and they ask one per-

son, and together, we’re sig-nificantly closer to the cure. On Oct. 10, 2010 (10.10.10) at 10am, over 5,000 people will participate in the Walk to Cure Diabetes on the campus of UNR. The Walk, also known by many children with juvenile (or type 1) diabetes as the Day of Hope, is the largest annual fundraising event for the Northern Ne-vada branch of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF). JDRF has a singular mission: to find a cure for diabetes and its complications through the support of research. The Reno-based Walk raised over a quarter of a million dol-lars in 2009 to help bring a cure home to Northern Nevada for the over 250,000 Ne-vadans with diabetes. The Walk ventures around the University campus twice, and each loop is approxi-mately 2.5 miles. Registration begins at 9am with the Walk starting at 10 am from the front of the Knowledge Center and Student Union. The event is both family and dog

friendly, offering all the Starbucks you can drink, lunch and activities along the route. It’s also an op-portunity for corporate participation through sponsorship or forming a Walk team. Corporate teams offer an opportunity to strengthen employee morale while giving back to the community, and sponsorship is an easy way to increase the visibil-ity of your brand to over

5,000 potential customers. The management team of Signature land-scapes and Reno lawn and landscape - lebo Newman, Rick Clark and Justin Trimble – have been named as corporate co-chairs. Changing and improving landscapes is what this team of co-chairs know best, and they are deeply committed to raising money to fund research so that the landscape for people with diabetes is changed completely someday soon – through a cure. They also know that by doing good, good will come back. “The walk is a wonderful, feel-good, do-good event for a company team and can cre-

Diabetes is a chronic, de-bilitating disease that af-fects every organ system. There are two major types of diabetes: type 1 and type 2. Taking insulin does not cure any type of diabetes nor does it prevent the pos-sibility of its eventual and devastating effects: kidney failure, blindness, nerve damage, amputation, heart attack, stroke and preg-nancy complications. Diabetes is the single most costly chronic dis-ease. Yearly, diabetes ac-counts for a staggering $174 billion in health care costs in the U.S. In the

state of Nevada alone, it accounts for $167 million annually. 24 mill ion American adults and chil-dren have diabetes, and in the next 30 seconds, another person will be diagnosed. Sadly, one out of every three children born in the U.S. will de-velop some form of dia-betes in their lifetime.

Make the Power of Ten work for all chil-dren with juvenile diabetes on 10.10.10. Call 775.786.1881 or email [email protected] for more information on powering a difference.
