Remembering Nevada Happy Holidays Long-time Vegas-types joined hands to help create a memory for Jack Dailey and introduce young people to the value of gardening By Mike Henle www.mikehenle.com
Gardening has always been good for the soul, and a project named after a late Las Vegan is blossoming at Jack Dailey Elementary School on Reno Avenue between Tropicana and Hacienda avenues. A Title 1, At-Risk School, the Jack Dailey garden was kicked off about three years ago thanks to donations provided by several long-time Las Vegans. Named after a long-time Las Vegan who died in a flash flood 43 years ago at Nelson’s Landing along the Colorado River south of Boulder City, the garden has flourished thanks to dedicated efforts of Dailey’s daughter, Julie Dailey Neil; former six-year veteran of the Las Vegas Metropolitan police and current real estate executive Kevin Buckley along with local businessman Jelindo Tiberti of Red Star Fence Company. Interestingly, Dailey Neil is a 1974 graduate of Valley High School, while Buckley graduated from Bishop Gorman in 1972. When Dailey Neil heard about the need for a garden at Dailey Elementary, she immediately opened a network
20 Simply55+

with Buckley to find the funds and the deals to make the garden become reality. Before anyone had time to think about the proposed project, Tiberti heard from Buckley and turned the duo into a trio as a simple 90 by 40-foot garden became a dream-cometrue that even the pilots flying in or out of McCarran Airport can see from the cockpit. In what has proven to be a true example of the giving hearts of long-time Las Vegans, the garden has grown to a colorful attraction while also working as a perfect learning tool for the students of the school where the students are reaping the benefits of working in a garden. Or as Buckley put it, “My father once said that if everyone did a little, a lot would get done.” School teachers and others involved initially with Dailey Elementary sought and received a grant from the Rotary Club of Las Vegas West. The school was awarded the $10,000 grant over several other competing schools. But wait. So much else has taken place in Not That Old And Loving It!
About three years ago, the students of Jack Dailey Elementary at 2001 E. Reno Ave. joined with several prominent long-time Las Vegans for the creation of the Jack Dailey Garden.

that is used to teach STEAM outside in gardens for Pre-K through fifth grade to facilitate experimental learning. In fact, Green Our Planet now works with more than 3,000 teachers and impacts 75,000 students – 78 percent of whom are in low-income schools. Green Our Planet is the largest school garden program in the Western United States and one of the fastest growing in the country. Ciara Byrne, the co-CEO of Green Our Planet, said the program has expanded big-time in Southern Nevada. Continued on pg. 24

“Our first garden was in Henderson,” said Byrne, a native of Dublin, Ireland, who founded the company with Kim MacQuarrie, a native Las Vegan who went to Robert E. Lake Elementary before graduating from Valley High School and USC. “We set up Green Our Planet in March of 2013. We are very passionate about education and conservation. School districts are now staying away from the books and giving the students hands-on projects. There is a huge push to get students involved in science and technology. We developed the curriculum with a grant from American Honda Foundation. “Instead of using a chalkboard, the students get involved first-hand. It makes sense in the

real world. They run the farmer’s market and use the money they earn for what means the most to them. That could be hummingbird feeders, or whatever makes the most sense. It’s those kinds of lessons that last forever in a student’s mind.” Garden Farms of Nevada, which has been in Southern Nevada for about seven years, has built the gardens for more than 100 public and private schools. Its general manager, Tiffany Whisenant, has been with the company for the past five years. “A garden opens up their view of what good food is,” said Whisenant, a 2002 graduate of Basic High School along with College of Not That Old And Loving It!
Southern Nevada. “Students are given the opportunity to take care of the gardens, get their hands dirty and breath the fresh air of the garden. It all starts with what you’re putting into their bodies. I never knew where food came from until I started college. Our children know what organic food is and they appreciate that knowledge. They bring the knowledge back to their parents.” In addition, young people get a great thrill out of being a farmer. “As they get older, the students realize this is a viable job possibility,” Whisenant said. “There is so much shared information here with regards to gardening.” The Jack Dailey garden is overseen by Enrique Garcia of Garden Farms of Nevada. Not That Old And Loving It!
In the utmost of examples, the garden and young people have become the ideal bond, thanks to educators who understand wholeheartedly that a garden is soothing and it is also always friendly. The gardens can be discovered by visiting https://goo-gl/cy2adU. “My dad’s heart was always with kids,” recalled Dailey Neil, adding that both her father and mother, Sidney, were long-time educators in Southern Nevada dating back to Rancho High School’s opening in the mid-1950s. “The greater the challenges, the more my parents worked to make things better.” It’s true that a garden created for Jack Dailey Elementary grew out of a need for homegrown food– and that’s especially very cool in a climate as harsh as the desert southwest. + May/June 2017

Please join us for an unforgettable musical program. Following the onehour concert will be a meet and greet, as well as CD sale and signing. Lauded for her “exceptional performances” and “fiery interpretation,” violinist Francesca Anderegg delivers elegant and impassioned accounts of contemporary and classical music. She had her Carnegie Hall debut in 2008, and has appeared in all of New York’s major venues. Francesca also regularly performs with the Minnesota Orchestra, and throughout the United States and South America as a soloist and chamber musician. WQXR Radio in New York had this to say about her new album, “Francesca Anderegg’s Wild Cities is haunted by the American dream, a dream of perpetual travel on an endless open road. This highway passes through neon swaths of electronic dance music, rusty belts of Appalachian fiddling, and fluid post-Romantic fields. With pianist Brent Funderburk, the young violinist takes on the music of five young American composers, each affected by the work and musical style of John Adams. Nationalistic is it not, but decisively American it is, as American as roadside attractions and Route 66.”

8 Reasons You Should Not Borrow from Your 401(k) Plan Feedback

Many workers think that borrowing from a The 401(k) plan has largely replaced the Remembering Nevada 401(k) plan is a great way to pay off debt, put traditional pension program, and that provides the kids through school and buy a house. After modern workers with both opportunities and all, they are paying the principal and interest risks. On the plus side, the money in a 401(k) Happy Holidays back to themselves, so what could possibly go plan is totally portable, and it belongs to wrong. If you are laboring under that erroneous the employee not the employer. That means supposition, you need to look at eight reasons a employees are free to change jobs and take 401(k) loan will cost more than you think. their money with them.
#1 - You Defeat the Purpose of the Account
On the other hand, 401(k) plans place the burden of saving for retirement almost entirely on the employee. Employers might kick in a small percentage to encourage their workers to save, but those workers are responsible for making the right investment decisions and saving enough for a comfortable retirement. Making a mistake along the way could be devastating to the future security of the employee, and one of the biggest mistakes employees make is borrowing from their workplace retirement plans.

The 401(k) plan was designed to pay for retirement, and nothing but retirement. Using that money now to pay off your credit cards, buy a house or put the kids through college means you will have much less later when the time comes to retire. Even if you pay the money back within a couple of years, you could set your retirement plan back by years or even decades. The power of compounding means that every minute you are out of the market is one more minute you are not making money.
#2 - You Reduce the Power of Compounding
One of the things that makes 401(k) plans work so well is the power of compounding. If you withdraw money from your retirement plan or take out a loan, you lose not only that money but all the money that money would have made. Not That Old And Loving It!

The power of compounding should not be diminished or underestimated. Missing out on even a few years’ worth of compounding could derail your retirement plan for many years to come.
#3 - You Will Pay the Same Taxes Twice
No one likes the IRS, and no one likes to pay more taxes than they need to. If you take out a loan from your 401(k) plan at work, you could end up paying the same tax bill twice.
#4 - You Could Face a Tax Nightmare If You Quit or Lose Your Job
If you separate from your employer, either voluntarily or involuntarily, you will need to pay back the money you borrowed from the 401(k) plan. If you took out a loan, you probably do Not That Old And Loving It!

If you are under age 59½, that means a 10 percent tax penalty right off the bat, along with ordinary income taxes on the amount you withdrew. If you don’t have the money to pay back the loan, you probably do not have the funds to pay those high taxes either. The problem is the IRS is likely to be much less understanding than your former employer.
#5 - You Will be Selling Low and Buying High

• Do the individual kennels have both indoor and outdoor areas and are they of adequate size?
Remembering Nevada
• Is there comfortable bedding to rest on? • Does the facility require vaccinations? Happy Holidays The problem of what to do with your pets while you’re on vacation has ever been a question that requires considerable thought. Most people want the best care possible for their pets, but the problem of high cost can cut into vacation budgets. Other factors also have a bearing on which situation is right for your pet, and a careful assessment of your dog or cat is in order before you make a final decision.
The Local Kennel
Local kennels can vary in quality. If you live in a reasonably populated area, you will probably be able to choose from a number of pet boarding facilities. Visit each facility well in advance of your trip to look around and get a general feel for each place. A few questions will help you determine if the kennel can care for your pet adequately: • Is the facility clean and free of odors? • Is staff sufficient for the size of the facility and are they actively engaged in caring for the animals?

• Can you leave special food for your pet? Can they administer medication if necessary? • Is veterinary care available, if needed? • Do they provide bathing and grooming? • Are prices well marked and easy to understand?
Staying With Friends or Relatives
Many pet owners feel safest leaving their pet with a trusted relative or friend. This option has the advantage of having the pet be familiar and secure with them. Friends and relatives can also be relied upon to give special care and attention to the visiting pet. However, not everyone has the leisure of accommodating a visiting pet in the home. Other pets may be too aggressive. Work schedules may not allow adequate care for the pet. Although the friend or relative may be well meaning, it’s a good idea to ask a lot of questions to ensure that the person has the time and energy to care for the pet properly. Not That Old And Loving It!
Pet Motels
The pet motel is a new phenomenon on the pet sitting/kenneling scene. These facilities vary in price and amenities. You can even find very high-end, luxury pet hotels that will administer daily massages, grooming services and individual playtimes, as well as text or email your pet’s status every day. These services may be more than your pet really needs, but some pampered pets thrive on the additional attention.

Vacation Destination Kennels
Some of the most popular vacation destinations in the country provide kennel services for their guests. Disney World, Disney Land, Busch Gardens, Kennedy Space Center and a variety of other attractions provide complimentary kennel service for their guests. Check their web sites for further information.+
Pet sitters that come to your home can be a good option for many pets. This method often works well when you have several pets that would become anxious if they were split up. Home pet sitting can also be a good option for older animals that would find the kennel stay too exhausting. Pets with specific medical conditions that need regular medication and monitoring can do better with a home pet sitter that will know what to watch for and ensure that medications are given on time and in proper amounts. Pet owners can schedule as many visits as they feel necessary during the day. Prices may be slightly higher than kennel stays, but can be worth the additional piece of mind.
Traveling With Your Pet
You may one of the pet owners that only considers it a good vacation if your pet comes along with you. With the wide range of hotels that now allow pets, it’s easy to have your animal companion with you wherever you roam. Hotels generally require an extra charge per pet. Some hotels only allow pets under a certain size. Research the requirements of any establishment before you reserve rooms for your trip.

Safety
You’ll no longer need to be concerned about recalls of bagged lettuce, sprouts, or cucumbers due to E coli bacteria. Nor need you worry whether you washed all the pesticides off your potatoes. When you grow your own, you control the care given to growing and harvesting. You can personally speak for the purity of your family’s food.
Beauty
When getting a garden underway it’s hard to imagine that it will ever become beautiful. In the beginning all you see is dirt, weeds, and work to do. However your garden will quickly take shape with a little sustained effort. Nature and summer weather help everything along, and soon the garden is lush and full, lovely with an abundance of blossoms, ripening fruits, and vegetables.
Results
For those who labor at thankless tasks, or at jobs that never produce tangible results, tending a garden is the perfect remedy. Gardening

provides results you can immediately see and hold. Enter the garden with a watering can on a hot day, and watch plants revive. Spend time weeding and immediately restore order.
Harvest
Yes, harvest is the big payoff. Imagine lingering in your garden on a summer evening, filling a basket with the choicest, ripest produce for your dinner. The garden is abundant and fruitful, and all your work is on display. You fill your basket with deep green lettuce and cucumbers, crisp peppers, zucchini, sprigs of basil and parsley, and a few ripe tomatoes, and head back to your kitchen. This is a deeply satisfying moment, one that connects you to the earth’s cycle of seasons and growing. Bringing this food into your kitchen connects all your outdoor work with your family’s food and health and well being. So stop procrastinating and dig in to growing vegetables. It’s never too late to begin. Just find a sunny spot and put in a few plants, or even set some pots out on a fire escape. You’ll find that there are many rewards to be had when growing your own vegetables. +

Making a Remembering Genuine Nevada Impact Happy Holidays in Your Grandkids’ Lives
Grandparents have a beautiful opportunity to influence the next generation each time parents ask, “Can you please babysit?” You’re far more than a babysitter. Your knowledge and wisdom have a big influence on the grandkids, whether you have a few hours or a few weeks to spend. Make the most of this precious time by putting the grandkids at the center, respecting parental boundaries and expectations, and sharing your deepest values and beliefs. Grandparents are powerful role models for grandchildren, and the memories you make now influence the rest of their lives.
Don’t Try to Compensate for Anything As a grandparent, you may want to compensate for how you raised your kids (do things

differently this time), or may see your kids’ parenting styles as wrong somehow and try to make up for that. Both attitudes rob your grandchildren of your full heart and soul.
When you worry over past mistakes or judge another person’s actions, you put yourself at the center of the relationship. Step back and let your grandkids be the center of a loving, supportive family circle. Pay attention to what they want and need. Offer guidance, seize teaching moments, and tell plenty of stories. Take what you learned about parenting and simply do your best, and the grandkids will feel your influence. Let go of the past and live joyfully in this moment, and bring your knowledge and wisdom into the new relationship with your grandchildren. You already know that children grow up too fast--don’t waste this precious time with emotional battles.

Openly Share Your Deepest Values and Beliefs Instead of more toys, give grandkids your deepest values. Belonging, resiliency, optimism, peace and patience are lifetime skills and priceless gifts. Grandparents are the source of activities that parents don’t have time for--cooking together, assembling a model car, digging in the garden, camping, playing cards. Your kids may see the time you spend with grandchildren as babysitting, but you should see it as a chance to explore hobbies and make memories. Each activity is an opportunity to share core beliefs
