Listen Later

Golden mussels are a dangerous new invader in California’s water supply. Also, a documentary about the oldest and largest Asian American civil rights organization in the country. Finally, a memoir about the first winery in Fair Play, Calif.

Golden Mussels Invade CA Delta
A new invader is threatening California’s water supply. Golden mussels were first detected in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta last fall, and in that short time they have infiltrated the state’s major water delivery systems. And experts say they are here to stay. CalMatters Water Reporter Rachel Becker explains the challenges to curb the spread of Golden Mussels and the patchwork of oversight that is leaving many lakes unprotected.

CalMatters is a nonprofit newsroom that partners with public media stations across the state.

Japanese American Documentary ‘League of Dreams’ 
For almost a century, the Japanese American Citizens League has defended civil and human rights for not only Japanese Americans, but grew to stand up for all those who are unjustly discriminated against in our country. Now, a documentary titled League of Dreams is detailing the oldest and largest Asian American civil rights organization in the country. The California Museum will host a screening and Q&A discussion about the film this Saturday at 1pm. Former JACL National Executive Director John Tateishi, and producer and director Lane Nishikawa, will be featured speakers at the museum. They join Insight to talk about the lasting impact of the JACL. 

‘Confessions of a Winemaker’ 
In the southern corner of El Dorado County, nestled into the Sierra Nevada foothills, is the tiny township of Fair Play. Founded in the 1850s as a mining town, the area quickly became known for its fertile ground. It’s now home to more than 20 wineries and dozens of farms and ranches. Brian Fitzpatrick and his wife Diana were the first people to start a winery in the area and he’s written a memoir about his experience titled, Confessions of a Winemaker. He’ll be signing books at Shadow Ranch Winery in Fair Play this Sunday.
