Healthy in a Hurry! Contributed by Mandi Ratliff of Cucina Fresca

It's a challenge! We know we should eat more healthfully, but we get waylaid by the urgencies of work, the demands of everyday life, and the complexity of putting all of our nutritional knowledge together and on the table in a timely manner.

Healthy Is Delicious If you create great taste, they will eat it. Healthy food does not have to be boring, flavorless, or a dull, forced march. Rather, healthy food, full of flavor, allows us access to greater energy and increased well-being. It’s all about making healthy food the easier and preferred choice.

Egg Sandwich with Wilted Spinach Olive oil, 1 tsp plus 1 Tbsp
Large Eggs, 2
Low-fat (1%) milk or water, 2 Tbsp
Manchego cheese, 2 thin slices (about 1-1/2 ox/45 g total weight)
whole-wheat English muffins, 2, split and toasted
Garlic 1 clove, smashed
Baby spinach leaves, 2 generous handfuls (about 3 oz/90 g) 1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease two 6-ox (185 g) ramekins with 1 teaspoon oil total. 2. In a bowl, scramble eggs lightly with milk. Divide mixture between ramekins. Bake just until eggs are puffy and set, 15-18 minutes. 3. Near end of baking time, place a cheese slice on bottom half of each toasted muffin. Place cheese-topped muffins on a rack in hot oven until cheese melts slightly, 2-3 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside. 4. Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat and add

garlic. Cook about a minute, just until garlic sizzles and is fragrant. Add spinach leaves and cook, stirring, just until wilted, 30 seconds -1 minute. Remove from heat and discard garlic clove. 5. Remove ramekins from oven and let cool slightly. Carefully run a paring knife around inside edges to release eggs. Turn out each egg portion onto a muffin, on top of melted cheese. Mound equal portions of spinach over eggs and then cover with muffin tops. Eat immediately, or wrap loosely in waxed paper and take to go.

Here’s the reason breakfast sandwiches are so popular – they taste good, and are manageable when in a to-go mode. With a few tweaks, the morning egg sandwich can become the start to a healthier day. A whole wheat muffin replaces the typical white flour muffin, and wilted spinach sautéed with just a bit of garlic adds major flavor. Used with moderation, cheese provides additional protein, and the Manchego cheese choice for this sandwich melts perfectly.

Sea salt, 1/2 tsp 
Garlic, 1 clove, pressed or minced

Lunch Notes

A lunch with this soup includes the yogurt swirl and pumpkin seed garnish offers: ◆ three servings of vegetables ◆ one serving of fruit ◆ lean protein source ◆ high fiber

A healthy soup such as this squash and apple soup, follows through on those good intentions. Aromatic onions sautéed until soft form the base of this soup. The squash and apples give it body. With a little chopping and dicing, this pot of soup is ready to satisfy for a couple of mealtimes. The garnish of yogurt and pumpkin seeds adds a little punch of protein. Pair the soup with a slice or two of whole grain bread and call it “lunch!”

Mix it up! This soup demonstrates the essential steps for making any number of delicious and healthful soups. Begin with a sauté of onions and other optional veggies such as garlic, celery, and carrots. Add stock and vegetables and simmer until tender. Blend it all together and season with herbs. Try a green version that includes broccoli and spinach, or a white variety with cauliflower and beans.

Making soups for healthier meals

◆ Le Creuset 8 qt. Stock Pot

This pot is just the right size for soup-making – big enough for a nice batch of soup, yet manageable when full.

◆ Cuisinart Immersion Blender

This is one of our favorite tools in the kitchen. It’s just too easy and fast to puree soup right in the cooking pot.

◆ Wusthof 6” Cook’s Knife

A good slicing and dicing knife can mean the difference between enjoying your kitchen time or not. One of our favs!

Healthy Cooking Techniques Estimating portions:

Small changes in cooking techniques also shift the kitchen equation towards health. Steaming

Use this water cooking method for tender foods that will cook quickly and thoroughly in barely simmering water. Great for eggs, but also a favorite for fish and other seafood; the poaching method reduces fishy aromas in the kitchen. Topped with a healthy sauce or seasoned with herbs, poached foods combine the need for speed and flavor.

By steaming, moist heat is applied efficiently to foods. Nutrients are retained in the food as opposed to boiling where the hot water leaches away some of the goodness. Use a steamer basket inside a lidded saucepan to steam vegetables. Ensure that the water level is below the base of the basket.

Rediscover frozen foods

Roasting

Weighing food received a bad rap somewhere along the way – it’s not a bad thing. In fact, recalibrating portions by weighting food will allow you to make the decisions you want to make. A culinary scale on the countertop makes it easy.

Many foods benefit from roasting in the oven instead of deep-frying. Lesser quantities of oil are required in the process. During roasting, flavors concentrate enhancing their taste. Use a baking mat or line the roasting pan with parchment paper to minimize sticking, further reducing the need for oil.

Sauteing A quick sauté fills the need for speed and can be a low fat method of cooking. Use a high heat to sear the food while continuously stirring and tossing the food. Stage foods according to their respective cooking times, or sauté each food separately and remove to the side as others cook. Uniform food sizes will help ensure even cooking.

The frozen food aisle is packed with processed foods, but it is possible to find vegetables and fruits frozen at the height of the harvest. Prep work is diminished with these choices while maintaining the quest for healthy fruit and vegetable options.

Recalibrate your portions

Practice moderation Many experts (and probably your grandmother) cite the notion of practicing moderation in all things. Outright denials of favorite foods may derail good intentions, but applying moderation may allow the overall trend toward health to continue. Then, determine to find new healthier favorites.

Capers, 1 Tbsp drained and rinsed
Extra-virgin olive oil, 2 Tbsp
Sea scallops, 1 lb (500 g), 1-1/2 - 2 inches (4 - 5 cm) in diameter

Fresh flat-leaf parsley or mint, 2 Tbsp chopped 1. Put onion slices in a colander and rinse well under cold running water. Drain thoroughly, then transfer to a small bowl and stir in rice vinegar. Set aside.

frying pan over medium-high heat. Add scallops and cook, turning once, until browned on both sides and opaque in center, 4 - 5 minutes total.

2. Remove 1 teaspoon finely grated zest from 1 orange; set zest aside. Using a sharp knife, cut a thin slice off both ends of each orange, then cut away peel and bitter white pith, following the fruit’s curve. Cut oranges in half lengthwise, then slice crosswise into thin half-moons. In a bowl, combine orange slices with reserved zest, capers, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Set aside.

4. Add onion (with vinegar), parsley, and a few grindings of pepper to orange mixture and toss gently to combine. Divide orange salad among 4 dinner plates and top with warm scallops, dividing them evenly. Serve right away.

3. Sprinkle scallops with salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick

If you think scallops are only for fancy affairs, think again: they are a versatile and quick-cooking protein. Serve them over a simple orange salad for a refreshing, low-calorie meal.

Dinner Notes

This supper menu of scallops and salad uses minimal fat (healthy olive oil) in its preparation. Plenty of bold flavors are included:

protein. Sea scallops were our choice for supper. One serving is rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals just not found in fast food. The slight golden surface of the seared scallops was wonderful. Set upon a bed of sliced oranges, slightly pickled onions, and a sprinkle of capers, it was a delicious and satisfying presentation. Pair this dish with a fresh side salad topped with persimmons and parmesan shavings.

â—† one serving of lean protein

If scallops or seafood are not your thing, substitute a quick stir-fry of chicken breast, or lean pork loin for an equally delicious topping to the orange base.

Swiss Diamond 10” nonstick frypan Nonstick cooking surfaces allow for decreased use of high calorie cooking oils and fats. Here’s our favorite!

Published by Weldon Owen Publishing, San Francisco, CA. Copyright 2012 Perhaps the subtitle of the book sums it up best – “Easy, good-for-you recipes for every meal of the day.” We found this cookbook to be a great resource and inspiration for incorporating healthier dishes into our kitchen life. It’s organized according to Breakfast, Snacks & Starters, Lunch, Dinner, Sides, and Desserts. The recipes are devised for health, simplicity, and flavor. The offerings feature an emphasis on fresh, local and seasonal cooking – just the kind of choices that we think make sense. The comprehensive index allows quick access to menu ideas based on ingredients that you may already have on hand. Finally, the sumptuous photography is inspiring, another affirmation of your choice to embrace healthier cooking.

Do you get frustrated with your jack-olanterns going bad too quickly and rotting on your front patio? Here's a trick to keep your pumpkins looking spooky, not gross! After carving your pumpkins, place them in a large container, or your sink, full of bleach and water at a 1 teaspoon of bleach to 1 gallon of water ratio. After soaking the pumpkin for a minute completely dry your pumpkins, then create a solution of 2 tablespoons of vinegar and 1 tsp. of lemon juice in one quart of water and brush onto your pumpkins and let dry! The bleach mixture kills the bacteria on the pumpkin and the vinegar/lemon solution keeps it looking fresh!

Happy Halloween!

Khoury's Wine of the Month Halloween seems to be presenting itself as one of easiest and most exciting reasons to throw a party. Children can celebrate excitedly. Then after their little tummy’s are full of more sugar than any one person should have in a lifetime and they have worked their way into some sort of costumed coma, the grown-ups get to partake!

Adults have embraced the Halloween tradition with such intensity that some begin work on their costumes in January! And what about the party favors and menus? This isn’t something that just gets thrown together overnight. Millions of marketing dollars are spent every year to ensure that grown-ups get to “out do” each other at their neighborhood haunt. Distillers, wineries and brew masters are all on board as well! Take for example the entire line of wines from Vampire Wines in California. It is said that the wines were born out of a late night encounter with a hitchhiker from the dark deserts of Nevada. Vampire or otherwise, the inspiration has sparked a series of 5 different varieties as well as spirits and even a reference within a novel. Beer has also joined the rage of “All Hallows Eve” celebrations. Day of the Dead beers boast a package very similar to décor related to the American Halloween tradition but are actually based on a Mexican Celebration

oct. 11 & 12

dating back more than 500 years ago. The skull, representative of death and rebirth, is eye catching and sparks a story from most anyone. The beers themselves are quite a topic as well, not as common in Mexico; they are a craft style beer ranging from Blonde to a Hefeweizen to a Porter. And finally, what about crazy Jack Nicholson in the shining? The chant we all remember is “REDRUM… REDRUM” right? Well, for those of you that haven’t figured it out, try holding this article up to the mirror! All things dark and scary considered the actual Redrum is quite nice in a cocktail. So there you go! As you intentionally don’t dust off the cobwebs this month in preparation for the festivities use that time to visit Khoury’s and outfit your cocktail station with some cleverly packaged treats!

The

Gadget Guy Cogburn CB4 Realtree Camo Bike It would be rare to catch your typical hunting Elkoan opting for a bike over the raw horsepower and knobby tires of a 4-wheeler or side by side but this might just be about the only thing that could entice. Imagine tackling a single track or deer trail to get that much further in the wilderness. The Cogburn CB4 boasts massive yet stable 3.8” tires designed to run at low pressure, disc brakes to control your decent and wide handlebars to handle any load you can throw at it. You will also find multiple attachment point for gear all over the Reatree® camo pattern frame and fork accented by a “no-glare” anaodized black handlebar, rims, crank and other components. Of course, the CB4 is geared for your toughest adventures too. Attach your rifle, bow or fishing pole to the “scabbard” and away you go. Proudly made in the USA and available from Scheels this fall.

Also capture video in 1920x1080 HD. Although the QX10 doesn’t work with your phones existing camera, you will hardly notice at a small 4 oz. addition.

Neat Ice Kit Are you an ice snob? You may not yet be diagnosed, but if you enjoy the perfect ice to accompany your libation, you might just fit the criteria. This set of tools allows for the creation of the perfect, clear ice at home.

An ice mold, chisel with built in bottle opener, a Lewis bag (for crushed ice), and wooden muddler doubled as a club to accompany your ice chisel or Lewis bag. Don’t let your ice infiltrate your fancy cocktail, expensive scotch or single barrel whiskey again. Create a big, crystal clear ice cube, large ice chunks, or crushed ice, but you might want to buy two or more for your next party just in case.

Jennifer Sterling and Amy Dudley aren’t your typical business partners. They share a daughter and through that life experience have been friends, foes and now they are business partners. The two had always talked about opening their own place, but they knew that opening a business was a lot more than ideas and small talk. They usually just laughed about the idea and moved on. It all began with a little house for rent, a few phone calls and just few days later, fringe Salon and Day Spa became a reality. The little house had so much character and even more potential because it has been remodeled to be a residence, it had everything they wanted. The girls went to work, remodeling and making their dreams of owning their own business a reality. They knew they didn’t want a traditional hair salon and this little house was all they had hoped for. From the instant you walk through the front door, fringe is a place you can instantly relax. Isn’t that what we want from a salon? Luxury and affordability is all available at fringe Salon and Day Spa. Jenn and Amy are both moms with busy schedules and understand the need to take time to get pampered. However being a mom, you rarely take that time and when you do, you don’t want to break the bank. Their vision in creating an atmosphere of serenity and relaxation started with colors. Black and white with pops of teals, yellows, reds to the décor and then the essential oils are the finishing touch. fringe is a pleasure to the eyes and the senses.

While it’s not specifically a treatment for sinus headaches, many report improvement with chiropractic care.

Silence Those Sinuses! Contributed by Dr. Todd Wendell of Ruby Mountain Chiropractic Center

You know the feeling…your head is congested and your face hurts. You press on your cheeks and there’s pain – the pain that can only come from an inflammation in your sinuses. And then…there’s the headache that usually accompanies the sinus congestion. Let’s face it – you feel downright miserable. Sometimes the symptoms of a migraine and a sinus headache can be confused, however, sensitivity to light and sound and nausea generally accompany migraines. Natural remedies that may alleviate some of these symptoms include using a nasal saline

(salt) rinse or spray, breathing moist air to help drain nasal passages, avoiding cigarette smoke and drinking plenty of water. A visit to our practice may also help. Many have reported improvement with chiropractic care. Restored nerve communications to the head and neck can often help reduce sinus pressure and improve sinus drainage. It is a safe and natural alternative to prescription and over-the-counter medications that may leave you feeling fuzzy-headed and tired, or that may produce additional side effects that only address symptoms, rather than the cause of your discomfort.

Is Knee Surgery the Answer? Contributed by Dr. Todd Wendell of Ruby Mountain Chiropractic Center

Interestingly, those who thought they received surgery but didn’t, improved as much as those who did. You hear about so many people today having knee surgery after suffering through years of chronic pain due to sports injuries or osteoarthritis. They may have tried pain medication (over-the-counter and prescription strength), massage therapy, bed rest, heat and ice application, even cortisone injections – but the pain continues. It often worsens to the point where the doctor indicates that a surgical solution is the only answer. But is it? Interesting story:

A study was conducted involving 180 patients, divided into three groups, who were told they required arthroscopic surgery on a knee to relieve pain and stiffness due to osteoarthritis. Arthroscopic surgery involves an incision into the knee to remove worn cartilage. The first group had surgery called arthroscopic debridement, which removes worn or loose cartilage. The second group had arthroscopic lavage, which flushes painful debris and inflammatory enzymes out from the knee. The third group was all prepped and an incision into the knee was made, but no cartilage was removed. All three groups were followed and assessed at regular intervals over the next two years and at the end of that time, all groups reported

53

october 2013 | everythingelko.com

| 775-777-3705 | 220 Idaho Street

“equal degrees of reduction in pain and increase in activity level.” Interesting, isn’t it? Yet, more than 650,000 of these same procedures are performed each year and, sometimes, healthy cartilage is removed with the worn cartilage, causing even further damage to the patient. Is there an alternative?

Yes there is – and while surgery may be an option, it should always be the last resort. Chiropractic care offers a non-invasive alternative to drugs and surgery for the type of knee pain cause by osteoarthritis. We recognize that knee pain can be related to pelvic imbalances and spinal problems higher up the spine. Correcting these misalignments often resolve knee pain and ankle problems without the risk of surgery. Please keep in mind that our practice is committed to helping you live a way of life that focuses on healing and preventing health problems. We don’t believe in masking symptoms with medication or advising that you engage in needless surgery when your body may be fully capable of healing itself.

Shannon

My

...

Thompson

Story:

I, Shannon Thompson had just turned 34 in December of 2011. I thought I was on top of the world with being healthy, 3 beautiful children and a wonderful husband who was very supportive, loving, caring and the greatest man anyone could ask to have and to hold forever. I have always had the perseverance to work 120% at all times. It didn't matter if it was my kids, my everyday activities, my workouts or just living life. When you look at someone who is involved in so many life activities and never slowing down, you never think for a moment that that person could ever be ill. In a blink of an eye my world changed when I was told January 12, 2012 that I had Breast Cancer.

57

october 2013 | everythingelko.com


At that moment I knew I had to remain strong and do whatever I could to fight back. I had 3 little reasons at home that relied on me each and every day to make sure that they were taken care of and loved every day for the rest of their lives. So, my fight begun with never complaining about how sick I was, or why me. I even walked around with my beautiful bald head with my chin held high and my Hope and Faith in Gods healing hands on my shoulders. I refused to let anything tear me down. I would battle this fight and be in the Winners circle with nothing less than being On Top!! It doesn't matter what I've lost during this fight, I would give up my other breast along with much more just to be here with my children and to make a stand against this disease and Say, "I WIN'. Cancer cannot enter the depths of your soul nor take anything from you, all it can do is leave a scar to prove that you battled a fight you should have never been in. And so with the support of friends and family within our community I am a survivor! I have survived and fought a terrible disease and have managed to learn a few things in the mix of it all. The simple things in life we all take for granted can easily be taken and turned upside down. We never know when our time will be or what direction our lives will take us in the glorious road of living. All we can do is live each life to its fullest and love one another with every little bit of happiness we so deserve. Stop and smell the roses, Kiss a little more often, laugh out loud with your children, hug your children as though tomorrow was going to end and always let your spouse or loved one know just how much you adore, love and appreciate the life you share and built with them. “You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have”. Embrace life! I built a team called “Ribbon Warriors” for Susan G Komen back in June 2013. I always wanted to be a part of a Susan G Komen event. I seldom wondered how awesome walking for a Cause would be and how it would make you feel as a person to help save a life. My intention was to just walk in the Race for a Cure and say that I actually did it and know that I made a difference. I never in my wildest dreams ever imagined it would be a passion and lead me to

opportunities in life to help Inspire other men and women fighting Breast cancer. I started building my team by asking my dearest friends to come join me and walk by my side at the Race for a Cure. I then sat down and typed up this letter that I thought could help me raise a little bit of money to help with the Cause. As I hand delivered over 150 letters to local businesses and friends, I began getting emails from Northern Nevada Affiliates of Susan G Komen about my progress. As the weeks went on, my donations started to flow in one after another on a regular basis. Before I knew it, I received a phone call from Niki Patin at Northern Nevada Affiliates of Susan G Komen’s office. They were so impressed with my ability and dedication on raising money for breast cancer that our phone conversations grew more and more frequent. I have worked very hard for the last 3 months to raise awareness in our community and raise money to someday find a Cure for this terrible disease. My efforts are endless and I will continue to do my best, never giving up and always fighting for this great cause; if it means helping another Cancer patient become a Survivor! On August 7, 2013, I received a phone call from Niki who had some very exciting news for me. Not only was I announced as their number one fundraiser but also told that I was nominated as their 2013 Honorary New Balance Team member. I get to sport the New Balance gear and clothing line as well as get my story published on their website. I was also recently asked to be the poster girl for Northern Nevada Affiliates of Susan G Komen in Reno and be on a billboard to help bring in people to the Race and help inspire a million others. I’ve been asked to speak at the Race in October and at a survival dinner to be held on September 19, 2013. I am greatly honored to have been chosen for this opportunity and will continue to put my dedication and skills to great use on raising money to help end Breast Cancer.

Sincerely, Shannon Thompson and Survivor October 2013 | everythingelko.com

Tommy the Safety Cat

talks about the Flu Flu Season arrives every year like clockwork and Tommy the Safety Cat wanted to take some time to discuss Flu Facts. There are some things that you can do that give you a better chance not to get sick. They are: • Eating a balanced diet, low in sugar and white flour. A balanced diet consists of quality protein, whole grains, vegetables and fruits. • Drinking plenty of fluids-especially water. • Doing some form of exercise daily. • Getting at least 7-8 hours of good quality sleep. • Taking steps to make sure that you are managing your stress and your stress is not managing you. • Wash your hands often. Use soap and water. If you do not have soap and water, you can use an alcohol based sanitizer until soap and water becomes available. • Avoid contact with people who are sick. (a minimum of three feet between you and the sick person is recommended if contact cannot be avoided).

common Flu symptoms are headache, being very tired, sore throat, cough, runny or stuffy nose and sometimes throwing up and diarrhea. Just because you have these symptoms does not mean that you have the Flu (because other illnesses have similar symptoms), but a visit to your family doctor may be able to give you a diagnosis. Flu can be serious. It can cause a nasty pneumonia, dehydration, worsening of chronic medical conditions (such as asthma, COPD, etc.), ear infections and sinus problems. Many people with these complications require time in the hospital.

• Have one person in the family be the person that takes care of everyone that has the Flu.

10/11/2013 & 10/12/13- 9a-5p Both days- First Aid/CPR/AED Instructor Course- $500.00

• Keep each person’s personal items separate. Avoid sharing pens, papers, clothes, towels, sheets, blankets, food or plates, glasses or eating utensils unless cleaned between uses. • Wash everyone’s dishes in the dishwasher or by hand using very hot water and soap. • When doing wash, use the hottest water setting and detergent. Do not forget to wash YOUR hands after handling the dirty laundry.

• Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze (wash hands as soon as possible afterwards). If you do not have a tissue at hand, cough or sneeze into the crook of your elbow.

• If possible wear disposable gloves followed by thorough hand washing when in contact with or cleaning up body fluids.

Tommy did some research and learned that the Flu usually begins with fever and body aches that happen all at once. Other

American Red Cross Class Schedule

If someone in your family has the Flu, there are some things that the American Red Cross suggests to do:

• Do not touch your eyes, nose or mouth without washing your hands first. Remember that these are germs favorite places to enter your body.

• Consider getting a flu shot. Vaccination is one of the most effective ways to minimize illness and death from Flu.

+

Remember that if you are the person with the Flu, you can easily infect others. Please stay home from school or work until 24 hours after the fever is gone WITHOUT taking medications. The Flu season begins every fall and does not end until spring. Tommy the Safety Cat wants all to be prepared, be educated and prevent the spread of Flu!

Dear Everything Elko Readers, Excitement just shimmers around me when I think about corresponding with the children (and many young at heart) who have written to me through the Everything Elko Magazine! Santa and I have a soft spot for the community of Elko, as it is a community that keeps the spirit of Christmas well. Santa and I look forward to receiving your letters every year. We spend many evenings in our kitchen reading your letters, noting your requests and trying to get those e-mails back to you. Santa and I were so pleased when the staff of Everything Elko graciously offered to publish some of your letters again this year. In order to be published during the holiday season, letters must be received before November 10th. Of course, I will

raising

smART kids

Contributed by Yong Pratt of Elko Arts Academy

Last month we explored why the arts are important for your child. This month, we’ll take a closer look at choosing arts activities, specifically dance.

for recreational to professional dance. Dance companies such as the Salt Lake City-based Ballet West and Repertory Dance Theatre, along with international schools of dance like the Royal Academy of Dance in London, England, all use Marley floors as their dance surface.

Choosing a dance school is just as important as choosing any other educational opportunity. If most dance studios seem to have qualified, friendly teachers, experience teaching children and adults, and a big show at the end of the year, aren’t they all pretty much the same? Does it really matter which place you decide to enroll? YES! There are 4 main things that can make a huge difference in the quality of instruction and the overall enjoyment and satisfaction of being involved with a dance program. Here are 4 things every parent or adult student should consider before deciding on a dance studio for their child.

A Marley floor absorbs much of the shock of movement thereby reducing the risk of injury and enables students to dance longer without getting tired. In addition, "Marley" flooring provides the appropriate amount of grip to protect dancers from unnecessary slips and falls. Most schools do not go through the expense to install "Marley" flooring. Two of our three studios are equipped with wood and Marley-topped floors.

What

Type

Of

Floor

Is

Used?

Dance is a very physical activity that requires a lot of jumping, turning, and rolling which can put stress on bones and joints. Most dance footwear does not provide sufficient cushioning or support, so the shock of dance movement can place a lot of pressure on the knees and back of a dancer. The best way to prevent against potential injury is by choosing a studio with a professional dance floor. A professional dance floor consists of wood flooring (not concrete, carpet, or linoleum) covered by a high-density vinyl composite flooring known as “Marley.” Marley flooring is accepted worldwide as the best surface layer

What

Is

The

Size

Of

The

Class?

If the dance class has fewer students in it each child will receive more personalized attention, learn more and have more fun. With younger students it is easier for a teacher to maintain control over the class and make sure each student understands the concepts and instructions. Our smaller class sizes make sure that no fundamental concepts are being missed. A smaller class size also allows our teachers to ensure that students are not developing bad habits or improper technique. Our studio limits all of our classes (ages 7 and up) to a maximum of just 15 students per class. With our pre-dance classes (ages 3 - 6) we limit the size to 10 students for classes without an assistant teacher or 12 for classes with a teaching assistant. October 2013 | everythingelko.com

time?

In many studios the teacher or the studio owner conducts classes and does the administration. By trying to do two jobs at once, the class may suffer as the teacher has to use class time for customer service issues, or the studio may have no customer service available if the teacher is in a class. To have a good experience it is important to choose a studio that can assist you with details like costumes or schedules, even if a teacher is occupied in a class. Our studios have office staff on hand during all regular class times, so you can get immediate assistance.

Absolutely! We offer many activities at our school such as music, karate, and tumbling classes in addition to dance. It if often possible to enroll multiple family members in different classes and programs at the same time. We’re here to help you save time in your busy schedule by being your one-stop activity shop! While there are many more questions you may want to ask, getting answers to these 4 can help you make an informed decision when it comes to choosing dance classes for yourself or your child. If you need have more questions or need assistance in registering for dance classes, call Academy of the Arts at 775.753.LEAP (5327), online at www.ElkoArtsAcademy.com, or in person at 600 Commercial Street.

Fall is officially here and that means it's time to pull out all of that Fall Decor. From the time that school is back in session to the time Christmas forces itself upon us Fall Decor is out and about. Halloween is a fun holiday to decorate for, you can go with a spooky and scary theme or a bright and cheery one. Front door decor is super important if you live in a neighborhood where there are tricker treaters, I found this plain black wreath at the craft store and spruced it up by adding some colorful mesh tubing. No extra wires or glue involved, I simply wove the mesh in and out of it and used the wreath wires to secure them in place. It's colorful and inviting.

Happy Halloween, from Shippy Chic! 77
