Tomato Chutney
Fresh Bread on the Grill A grill mimics the high, hot temperatures of woodfired ovens, or traditional tandoor ovens, where bread dough is slapped onto the burning hot sides and cooked in seconds. Thinner breads such as naan, chapatti, and pita love the grill. Their thin character translates into fast cooking times. Thicker, loaf breads require consistent, moderate heat (350F) circulating over longer periods of time; those conditions generally require more specialized outdoor ovens than typical grills offer.

JULY 2014 | everythingelko.com
Fresh bread, hot off the grill! The grill, with its high temperature capabilities, is perfect for making flatbreads like this naan. The dough came together easily, rolled out cooperatively, and was tossed directly on the grill grate. The chutney of grilled vegetables, accompanying the naan, brought fabulous flavor to our table. The chutney was even more wonderful the next day. Makes 4 servings Naan, the yeasted flatbreads of central Asia, are traditionally baked in wood-fired tandoors, large vertical ceramic ovens that get superhot – hot enough to sear the surface of bread in seconds.
Although home cooks try to duplicate the effects of a tandoor by lining the floor of a conventional oven with ceramic tiles, the heat is never the same. We think a grill gives more authentic results, especially a charcoal grill. Like all flatbreads, the dough for naan is relatively easy to prepare. It takes about 10 minutes to mix up and 1-1/2 hours for rising. If you need to leave the dough for a few hours (or as long as a day), you can let it rise in the refrigerator. It will taste even better. INGREDIENTS: 1 teaspoon active dry yeast 3/4 cup warm water (110 to 115ºF) 1/2 cup plain yogurt 1-1/2 teaspoons ground toasted cumin seeds (see Know-How, below) 1-1/2 cups bread flour 1 tablespoon canola oil 2 teaspoons sugar 1 teaspoon sea salt About 1 cup whole-wheat flour 2 teaspoons unsalted butter, softened 2 teaspoons cracked toasted cumin seed 1-1/4 cups Grilled Tomato Chutney (see below) DIRECTIONS: Mix together the yeast and 1/4 cup of the warm water in a large bowl until the yeast is dissolved. Mix together the yogurt, cumin, and remaining 1/2 cup water in a medium bowl and add to the yeast mixture, stirring until well blended. Add the bread flour and stir vigorously for 2 minutes. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and set aside at room temperature until bubbly, about 30 minutes. Stir in the oil, sugar and salt and enough of the whole-wheat flour to make a kneadable dough. Knead on a clean work surface, using additional flour to keep the dough from sticking, until the dough is smooth and elastic, between 5 and 10 minutes. Wash out the large bowl and coat it lightly with oil. Turn the dough in the oiled bowl to coat with the oil. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise at room temperature until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour. While the dough is rising, prepare the chutney.

Light a grill for direct mediumhigh heat, about 425ºF. Divide the dough into four pieces. Roll each into a ball and flatten into a 1/2-inch-thick disk. Cover with a kitchen towel and let rest for 5 minutes. Lightly flour a clean work surface and roll each disk of dough into an oval about 9 inches long and 1/4 inch thick. Coat each bread with oil and stack on a plate to transport to the grill. Brush the grill grate and coat with oil. Put the dough on the grill so the disks are evenly spaced, cover, and cook until grill-marked and charred in spots on the bottom and puffed on top, about 2 minutes. Turn with tongs and cook on the other side until browned and spotted with char, about 1 minute. Remove to a plate, brush with butter, and
sprinkle with the cracked cumin. Serve with the chutney. KNOW-HOW: TOASTING AND CRACKING WHOLE SPICES You will need to toast about 2 tablespoons cumin seeds to prepare the ground toasted cumin and cracked cumin for the bread and chutney. Toast the seeds (or any whole spice) by heating a small, heavy skillet (such as cast-iron) until very hot. Add the seeds, remove from the heat, and stir until the seeds are aromatic and lightly colored, about 1 minute. You can use the same heavy pan (after it has cooled down) to crack or crush the seeds by carefully pounding them on a solid flat surface (like a butcher block) with the bottom of the pan.
Grilling Tips WANT
perfect GRILL MARKS?
Beautiful diamond cross-hatching? Start with a hot grill, place your welloiled food directly on the grate. Halfway through cooking the first side, rotate the food 45 degrees. Repeat with the other side.
Clean YOUR GRILL! Today’s garlic bread shouldn’t taste like yesterday’s fish. It’s not necessarily fun, but a clean grill will yield better results and last longer. Use the manufacturer’s instructions specific to your grill for proper cleaning.

Oil THE FOOD, NOT THE GRATE Avoid excess smoke, flare-ups, and gummy grates by oiling the surface of your food just prior to grilling instead of oiling the grate. This puts the oil where it’s needed in order to prevent sticking.
LEAVE Fruits & LARGER PIECES
Veggies
IN
When grilling, leave fruits & vegetables in larger pieces, then cut into smaller, bitesized pieces when cooked. Larger pieces are less likely to fall between the grates, cook more evenly, turn effortlessly, and are easier to eat on and off the grill.
Temperature
TRY MEAT Rubs & Marinates ON YOUR VEGGIES!
Use grill surface thermometers to your advantage. A grill lid is not necessarily reflective of the cooking temperature at grate level. Knowing the temperature at the grilling surface will help you judge the coking conditions and timing.
Experiment with different combinations of rubs and marinates on your veggies. Take care not to cross-contaminate rubs or marinades that have contacted raw meat with vegetables that you plan to grill.
KNOW THE SURFACE
Timbre Young
Soak YOUR SKEWERS! When using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes prior to threading on food. The moistureladen wood will resist burning during grilling.
CLEAN YOUR
Grate
A balled up wad of aluminum foil and a pair of long-handled tongs makes a great makeshift grate cleaner. To truly keep your grill clean and in good shape, invest in a quality grill brush.

Grilling Tips GRILL BY
Temperature
We’ve said it before, we’ll say it again: grill by temperature, not by time. Use the timing instructions in recipes as guidelines, then keep an instant read thermometer by your side.

Grilled Garlic Bread
Pizza on the Grill
Everyone’s Favorite! Mix 4 cloves of fresh, minced garlic with 1 stick of softened butter. If you like, add some minced herbs (oregano, chives, or minced shallots). Butter both sides of sliced French or Italian bread. Toast on a medium grill for about 2 minutes per side; tend the grill closely during toasting – it happens quickly!
A hot pizza stone evenly transfers heat to the pizza crust. Alternatively, pizza grilling experts, Elizabeth Karmel and Bob Blumer recommend shaping your pizza crust to match your grill, grilling the crust over direct heat, then flipping to add toppings. The pizza continues to cook over indirect heat until cooked and the cheeses become wondrously melted.
JULY 2014 | everythingelko.com
Fresh Vegetables on the Grill Double the flavor of vegetables by cooking them on the grill! This happens in two ways: (1) Similar to oven roasting, grill heat is a dry heat that reduces the water content of vegetables thereby concentrating their natural flavors, and (2) grill smoke and caramelized grill marks impart a desirable outdoor flavor. Firm vegetables may be grilled directly on the grate, or as large chunks on skewers. Softer, or more fragile vegetables are easily managed with a grill mat or grill basket. Toss vegetables with olive oil, or another high temperature tolerant oil, salt and pepper, and grill away! For extra flavor, marinate vegetables for 3-4 hours in your favorite marinade prior to grilling.
TIP: Grill asparagus & other long, thin vegetables as skewered rafts.
Tandoori cauliflower with Mint Chutney This has to be our new, most favored, cauliflower recipe! Cauliflower florets are first marinated in a fresh, (and super-easy) Tandoori Yogurt Marinade. The large pieces are grilled until perfectly soft and tender. The marinade flavors filling the nooks and crannies of the cauliflower concentrate while grilling. The delicious pieces are served with a fresh mint chutney that complements the grilled cauliflower to perfection with its piquant profile.

Tandoori Cauliflower with Mint Chutney Makes 4 servings Cauliflower is a member of the cabbage family. The plant's flower stalks are forced to grow in on themselves, forming a dense mass or curd. Because the stalks never fully mature, they do not become very fibrous. But they are rich in pectin, which is why grilled cauliflower is so creamy, and why overcooked boiled cauliflower turns to mush. To keep the curd pale white, the outer leaves are tied around the cauliflower head, which shields the curd from sunlight and limits the development of green chlorophyll through photosynthesis. We like to grill-roast cauliflower and jolt its mild flavor profile with Indian spices and a refreshing splash of mint chutney. Serve it as a side dish for fish or chicken or as the centerpiece of a vegetarian meal. INGREDIENTS: 1 head cauliflower, cut into large florets (about 4 cups) 2 cups Tandoori Yogurt Marinade (see below) Tandoori Yogurt Marinade Best with veal, chicken, turkey, lamb, vegetables. Makes about 1 cup. Mix everything together and use as directed in a recipe. 3/4 cup (6 ounces) plain yogurt 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger 2 large garlic cloves, minced 1 tablespoon Garam Masala Run 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric 1 tablespoon paprika 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro 1 tablespoon minced fresh onion 1/2 tsp. red food coloring (optional) Mint Chutney: 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves and small stems 1/3 cup fresh cilantro leaves and small stems 1/2 small onion, coarsely chopped (about 1/4 cup) 1 clove garlic, coarsely chopped 1 small serrano chile pepper, stemmed and coarsely chopped (remove seeds for less heat) Juice of 1 lime 2 tablespoons water 1/2 teaspoon course salt DIRECTIONS: Combine the cauliflower and marinade in a 1-gallon zipper-lock bag. Press out the air, seal the bag, and refrigerate for 3 to 4 hours. For the mint chutney: Combine the mint leaves, cilantro leaves, onion, garlic, chile pepper, lime juice, water, and salt in a small food processor or blender. Blend until relatively smooth. Scrape into a small serving bowl and set aide. Light a grill for indirect medium-high heat, about 400ºF. Put a disposable aluminum pan beneath the grill grate over the unheated area of the grill. Fill the pan with 1/2 inch of hot water. Set the grill grate in place, brush it, and coat with oil. Remove the cauliflower from the marinade, reserving the marinade. Put the cauliflower florets on the grill so they
24
JULY 2014 | everythingelko.com
are over the pan of water. Close the lid and cook until fork-tender, 20 to 30 minutes. Dab the florets with some of the remaining marinade just before removing from the heat. Serve hot with the chutney.
Roasted Jalapeno Peppers We can make a whole meal out of these cheesestuffed jalapeno peppers! A chile pepper rack makes it all possible on the grill (or in your oven year-round). The rack has perfectly sized holes that hold the peppers upright while providing enough space for the heat to circulate and roast the peppers. Here’s the cheese stuffing mixture that we used – it’s very welcoming of embellishments and add-ins! Try petite, “baby bell” sweet peppers for a less spicy option. Ingredients 8 oz. cream cheese 8 oz. shredded cheddar cheese 1 lime, juiced 2 thinly sliced scallions 1 clove minced garlic 1 Tbsp minced cilantro Mix together well in a bowl, or in a food processor; chill until firm. Meanwhile, cut off the tops of the peppers, reserve. Core the ribs and seeds from the pepper. (A grapefruit knife with its blunt tip and serrated edge works really well for coring and seeding these small units). Stuff the peppers by rolling a tablespoon of the cheese mixture into a small log; insert into the pepper and press into place. Cap the peppers with their tops, or place a square of bacon or prosciutto over the top. Roast the peppers for about 20 minutes or until the peppers are softened and the cheese has melted to perfection.

Fresh Fruit on the Grill
the dish. The sauce melts into the bananas as the coconut toasts to golden brown on its edges. The satay sauce is a sweeter version of peanut sauce than many of its savory counterparts, but still has plenty of chile-induced heat to tickle the tastebuds.
Fruit doesn’t have to be cooked to be eaten, but just like all other foods, grilling produces all new flavor dimensions. What a sweet way to end an all-grilled meal! The natural sugars in fruit quickly caramelize with the grill’s heat producing unique flavor compounds that jazz our taste buds.
Grill-Kissed Pineapple
Grilling fruit is a fast process generally done with the lid open over medium heat. Baste fruit with melted butter, (instead of olive oil), for added flavor, and to keep the fruit from sticking to the grate. Grill stone fruits such as peaches, apricots, and plums in halves beginning with the cut side down first. Experiment in autumn with apples or pears stuffed with a streusel mixture of oats, flour, cinnamon, nuts and butter.
We’re in the middle of pineapple season right now. Even though they’re available year round, the seasonal selection just seems to taste better – sweeter, more pineapple-y. And, as much as we love pineapple raw, it takes on a whole new dimension when grilled.
Grilled Banana Satay Bananas become even more of a tropical delight in this presentation! Large chunks of bananas, threaded onto skewers, become warm and soft on the grill. A last minute coating of satay sauce and shredded coconut completes
Prepare grilled pineapple by removing the leaves and rind. Cut the pineapple lengthwise into 8 spears, remove the tough core portion, and place a skewer lengthwise into the spear. Baste the spears with a sweet marinade of juice from 1 lime and 2 tablespoons of brown sugar. Grill for 2-3 minutes per side or until grill marks appear. Serve as spears or cut into chunks. Even better when paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!

beneficials. Once they return, providing food (including pollen and nectar from flowers), water, and shelter will nurture them and their offspring for generations. Planting a diversity of flower types increases the number of individual species. Birds, including the ever-favorite hummingbird, are voracious feeders and will also do their part in a healthy ecosystem to keep pests in check.

Their patented “oval design” lends to more flexibility while cooking with higher efficiency than any other ceramic grill. The Kamado creates two zones for different and distinct cooking (think vegetables and steak). What is flexibility with a grill? Primo states that you can grill, bake pizza, roast a turkey, smoke, sear, braise, sauté, barbecue, caramelize, flambé, broil, fricassee, pan-fry, etc. Jeez, is there anything left? The Primo Kamado uses charcoal from whole stock hardwood giving you the same flavor as cooking over the campfire with the control of an oven. No better way to grill this 4th of July!

WildernesS The Jarbidge Wilderness turns 50 this year. CELEBRATE WITH US JULY 25-26TH
2014 marks the fiftieth anniversary of the Wilderness Act which was passed into law on September 3, 1964 by President Lyndon B. Johnson. The purpose of the act was to establish a system of protected wildlands for present and future generations to enjoy. The Jarbidge Wilderness, managed by the HumboldtToiyabe National Forest, was the only Nevada Wilderness set aside in 1964. At that time the wilderness was 64,667 acres. It was expanded in 1989 through the Nevada Wilderness Protection Act by 48,500 acres to 113, 167 total acres as it exists today. Located in remote northeastern Elko County, it has eight peaks over 10,000 feet, some of which drop to canyons 4,000 feet below. These mountains form a single crest and maintain elevations between 9,800 and 10,800 feet for about seven miles. Scenic vistas range from open flatlands, steep canyons, and high, rugged, rocky peaks. Extreme variations in elevation, moisture, and soil make it an area of beauty. Bright and varied colors of vegetation, soil and rock complement its spectacular topography and remoteness. It features low-elevation shrub lands, aspen covered slopes, cottonwood lined stream, stands of fir and pine, along with windblown mountain tops. It is home to some of Nevada's finest deer and elk habitat. It is a high water producing area that provides good fishing in the rivers and streams that flow through the area. The plentiful moisture also produces a spectacular wildflower show in late spring to early summer.

JULY 2014 | everythingelko.com
Hidden from any major highway, the Jarbidge Mountain crest appears as a miniature Alps to those who drive the back roads to reach the wilderness. Once there, about 150 miles of trails carry visitors into the backcountry. Trailheads are located at Pine Creek, Mary’s River, Slide Creek, Seventysix Creek, Camp Draw, Hummingbird Ridge, and Three Day Creek. The lower elevation trails open up in May and the upper trails are clear in June or July, depending on the snowpack. The Forest Service, Cedar Creek Clothing, the Cottonwood Ranch and the Bureau of Land Management will be hosting a 50th anniversary wilderness celebration in the town of Jarbidge during the weekend of July 25-26th. All are invited to attend and enjoy the festivities. Events will include an evening campfire, stargazing, wilderness readings, and on Saturday a morning hike to the wilderness followed by a community gathering and kids activities to celebrate wilderness. More information on this event or the Jarbidge Wilderness in general can be obtained by contacting Nancy Taylor, Wilderness Manager, at (775) 752-1705. Look for our next article featuring the Ruby Mountains and East Humboldt Wildernesses in the August edition of “Everything Elko”.

What makes a community
Truly Special? C ontributed by S habonya D utton of S tate F arm | W ritten by J adyn B enoit |
What makes a community truly special? It’s caring and dedicated citizens. Such is the case for Shabonya Dutton’s Good Neighbor’s for the month of July. Angela & Duncan Miller, nominated by Trenton Ingle of Winnemucca, NV & Stephanie Payne of Elko, NV, are true examples of what constitutes a good neighbor. Trenton and his family are motorcycle racers and have seen many good deeds done by Angela and Duncan. Trenton said “The Millers are very good hearted people and have made a huge impact on my boys. They have held several fundraisers and raised several thousands of dollars for people in need of medical assistance, physical therapy, and have helped many families who have lost loved ones far too soon.”

JULY 2014 | everythingelko.com
Stephanie said, “I would like to nominate Angela Miller from Mach 4 Construction and Divine Expression. Angela is always doing something for someone else, from hosting volleyball tournaments for Lizzy to helping Cody Beach's Super Bowl dreams come true. Not only these things but she does a lot that most people don't know about. This last week I had the privilege of helping the Layton’s with the services for their beautiful little Hailey. The family told me that they went to Divine Expression to order flowers for the casket and Angela donated all the flowers that they needed for the service as well as making a beautiful arrangement for them to take to Lund for the funeral services for their cousin who was also killed in the accident. I wish I knew of half of the things that Angela does and of all the people that she has helped in our community. Elko is an amazing place to live and it has a lot to do with amazing people like Angela.”
Angela was very humble when we called her to let her know she was nominated. She doesn’t look for a thank you or a pat on the back. They have gone through hard times in their lives and they believe that you get help back when you need it most and least expect it. They received help when they needed it most and just want to be able to help others. Lizzy Pritchet was one of many recipients of The Millers kindness. Angela said “Lizzy is so darn happy all the time you just want to help her and people like her.” Angela believes that if you have a good support system and you can sacrifice your own happiness for someone else’s happiness, then we can all help others in need. The Millers are the owners of Mach 4 Construction and Divine Expressions in Elko. Owning one business is a lot of work, let alone two. We asked Angela how they find time to do all that they do. She responded that they just do it and don’t even think twice about it. God has a plan. Duncan and Angela also have three children: Cody 22, Allyson, 17 and Hunter 14. They have a strong family foundation, are always together and are a racing family. Angela said “A family that plays together stays together.” Their daughter Allyson is a cross country motorcycle racer and qualified for finals with
a lacerated liver. Shabonya Dutton commented, “We found this amazing and just wanted to congratulate her and wish her the best at the Lorettas.� Thank you Angela and Duncan for all that you do for individuals, our community, and the example you set for your children and many others. Your kindness has not gone unnoticed, you have impacted many lives in many ways. Thank you and God Bless!

We know your children are precious and the center of your world. So we’d like to share simple, natural remedies for your child’s needs to keep them healthy and happy this summer as they get into the outdoors. Set your child up for success by avoiding a diet filled with processed foods.
Bug Bites Mixing a few drops of water with baking soda makes a paste that can quickly relieve the itching for fast and natural relief (not to mention, inexpensive)! Lavender essential oil can also be useful.
Aches and Pains Chiropractic care does wonders for children because they have spines too! Did you know adjusting a baby uses the same gentle pressure you would use to test the ripeness of a tomato? Just enough and barely noticeable, yet it allows your child to heal and live a happy life.
Thank you for your continued support! – Gift Certficates Available – Cool Beans is chillin’ daily:

Mild Swelling
Colic
Cucumbers help reduce slight swelling and can be very soothing for irritations like sunburns and some insect bites. So, keep cooled pieces from the refrigerator on the swollen area.
Chamomile tea can help calm intestinal muscles and relax your child. Steep it for around 4 minutes and serve once cooled, not giving your child more than 4 ounces (120ml) a day. Also, a chiropractic adjustment may help by restoring proper nervous system control also allowing muscles to relax and the body to heal itself.
Sore Throat Honey and lemon juice is a delicious way to help soothe a sore throat and some say it works better than cough syrup. The lemon helps dry up congestion and honey creates a natural, soothing coat. For children over 1 year, combine a tablespoon of honey and lemon and serve it in small teaspoon size doses.
Healthy Development The birth process, growing pains, bumps; bruises and falls can really take a toll on your child’s health and development. So, with the gentlest care, we ensure your child’s nervous system is up and running, just like your child.

Healthy Diet With so many allergens to food, sensitivities to gluten and dairy, grocery shopping isn’t what it used to be. Make sure to check the labels on your foods and pay attention to your child’s behavior after eating dairy, gluten, nuts, etc. to see if they may have sensitivity. Set your child up for success by avoiding a diet filled with processed foods packed with sugars, salts and preservatives.

Keep COOL This Summer! Contributed by Jesse James, RE/MAX Gold
Celebrate Air Conditioning Appreciation Days with a Programmable Thermostat According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), a programmable thermostat can save you about $150 a year in energy costs if it is properly used. It is recommended for people who are away from home during set times of the day during the week. To increase your energy savings, the EPA recommends that you: •K eep the thermostat set at energysaving temperatures for long periods of time, such as during the day when no one is home and through the night. •R esist the urge to override the preprogrammed settings. Every time you do, you use more energy and may end up paying more on your energy bill.
• Set the “hold” button at a constant energy-saving temperature when going away for the weekend or on vacation. • Install your thermostat away from heating or cooling registers, appliances, lighting, doorways, skylights, and windows, and areas that receive direct sunlight or drafts. Interior walls are best. • If you have a heat pump, you may need a special programmable thermostat to maximize your energy savings year-round.
HOME WARRANTY TIP:
Rotate it! A ceiling fan’s direction in the summer should be rotating counter clockwise to produce a wind chill effect by the downward airflow. The thermostat won’t actually change but the room will seem several degrees cooler.
Talk to your retailer or contractor for the details before selecting your thermostat. For more information on cooling and heating systems, visit www.ahrinet.org/default.aspx.
Red, White & Blue Non-Alcoholic Frosty Fireworks Drink Ingredients 16 ounces blue gatorade 16 ounces red gatorade 12 ounces Sprite or other clear, carbonated beverage Ice cubes Instructions Fill the sections of one ice cube tray with blue Gatorade, and place in freezer for several hours or until
frozen solid. Fill the sections of the other ice cube tray with the red Gatorade (or other red color drink), and place in freezer until frozen solid. When ready to serve, place about 4 or 5 regular (clear) ice cubes in a highball glass or tall tumbler. Add two blue ice cubes and two red ice cubes to the glass.
Fill the glass the rest of the way with a clear carbonated soda like Sprite, 7-Up, club soda, (or try a fruit flavored seltzer), or your favorite lemon-lime soda. Now wait to see the special effects begin. As the cubes melt, colored bubbles will swirl through the soda and create a sparkling "frosty fireworks" effect.

red white blue High Intensity Interval Training
Happy Fourth of July! Although it’s fun to celebrate America by eating burgers and tailgating with friends, it’s important to remember the benefits a little exercise can bring to our lives.
LARGE SELECTION OF GAS, WOOD AND PELLET STOVES AND FIREPLACES : PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION
Consider the example of the Boss himself, Bruce Springsteen. Prior to the release of his iconic Born in the USA album, Springsteen was out of shape and struggled to get through his concerts. With the help of a trainer, he cut out junk food, added in exercise, and now still rocks a concert at 64 years old. For nearly 30 years, he has maintained his fit lifestyle by alternating between running and weight training, six days a week. Don’t think you have time to work out six days a week? Remember that a one hour workout is only 4% of your day. If Springsteen can fit it in to his day, you can too. Try popping in Born in the USA, or another rock album of your choice, to keep your motivation up as you bust through a workout. Need some inspiration to get started? Try this red, white, and blue high intensity interval training workout. By using HIIT, you can burn a ton of calories and get a great workout in under 30 minutes. Using the thirteen stripes of the flag as inspiration, alternate running and walking, or just walking faster and slower, for thirteen minutes. Walk the first minute, run the second, and so on. At the end of the thirteen minutes, do 25 jumping jacks and 25 burpees for the 50 states. Repeat once.

The Millennials are all the talk these days, but let’s not forget just who brought them to the dance…the Baby Boomers. The Boomers currently represent 76 million Americans, or more than 25% of the U.S. population and the strongest consumer demographic. They may be eclipsed by their children…the Gen Y, as they are known, yet they are still extremely important to the lighting industry. They are getting older. Boomers are now more than 50 and the oldest ones are pushing 70. Their eyes are changing and so are their lighting needs. Professor Mariana Figueiro, an associate at the Lighting Research Center, a part of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Tory, N.Y., said light is so important because it can impact the visual system (allowing people to see), the Circadian system (allowing people to sleep and wake in synch with the solar day) and the perceptual system (conveying information). Normal age-related changes to the eye include smaller pupils (which allow less light in), thickening and yellowing of the lens (which reduces the ability to see bright colors and contrast), and increased sensitivity to glare. There are also multiple diseases of the eye that are more likely with advanced age, which can lead even more severe limitations on vision. “We are so hung up on energy codes that we are dropping lighting levels too low,” Figueiro said. “That can have biological consequences. The built environment does not have enough light.” Poor lighting can dramatically impact melatonin cycles (which are normally high at night and low in the day), which has been linked to an increase in cancer. “Light is not just for vision anymore,”she said. “We need more light to affect the Circadian rhythms than we do for vision.” Blue light suppresses melatonin, while red light does not. Facts such as these demonstrate the importance of understanding all the new light bulb technology and the impacts that the color of light can have on both vision and overall health.
60
JULY 2014 | everythingelko.com
HEALTH IMPLICATIONS As people age, less light reaches the back of the eye. As they lead more sedentary lives, they spend more time in dim indoor environments, rather than outdoors in natural light.. Both factors impact the quality of sleep in the elderly. “Early onset of sleepiness, early morning awakening and increased daytime napping are common with advanced age,” she said. The consequences of poor sleep include memory deficits and limited attention spans, poorer balance and more falls, higher rates of depression and anxiety, increased rate of institutionalization, and higher mortality rates. But it’s not just about sleep quality. Figueiro said there is research indicating that long-term light therapy for dementia patients reduced cognitive deterioration by 5%, depressive symptoms by 19% and reduced the increase in functional limitations by 53%. Rates of Alzheimer’s disease are expected to grow significantly now that the large Boomer generation is reaching the age where it generally strikes. Lighting can also impact falls. Figueiro said the estimated cost of falls and related injuries will reach $32.3 billion in 2020. WHAT YOU CAN DO The implications are clear, but what are some steps to help correct the problems that aging can bring. Figueiro recommends installing systems of “dynamic light,” where the blue light is available first thing in the morning to “reset the Circadian clock,” then can adapt as the day goes on to become more red in the evening hours. Many of the new LED light bulb options offer this color-changing ability. Some key principals in designing senior-friendly lighting: Provide more lighting on the task area; minimize glare by hiding direct light and reflected view of the light source and minimize the glossy reflection; create softer shadows to balance the illumination; and increase contrast and improve color discrimination.
C ontributed by D arlene S alicchi , P roprietress - B ella
She offered a number of suggestions to achieve these: up-lights and cove lights redirect light away from the eyes; matte finishes on walls and countertops reduce glare and reflections; task lighting can be provided with swing-arm lamps and fixtures or correctly placed can lights directed downward (above a kitchen sink for example); or night-lights that are warm enough in color so they don’t impact melatonin production. The Boomers are an extremely powerful consumer group. As your eyes change with age, become aware of the need for more light in your everyday environment and make the improvements you require to maintain your health and wellbeing. DELIMA SOLUTION: WATTS vs LUMENS Watts measure the amount of energy required to light products, whereas lumens measure the amount of light produced. The more lumens in a light bulb, the brighter the light. FTC’s Lumens vs Watts • 40-watt incandescent bulb = 450 lumens • 60-watt incandescent bulb = 800 lumens • 100-watt incandescent bulb = 1600 lumens
now serving
With new light bulbs, shopping by lumens will be more important than shopping by watts when choosing which energy-efficient bulb to purchase. The formulas above are not consistent for calculating so round them off and the result will be close to what the fixture will require. If the existing fixture will allow a 100-watt bulb, then multiply watts by 16 to reach the number of lumens to create the same amount of light with the new light bulbs.

The light and darkness of the day and night parallel the physical effects, emotions, and mental state of a cancer patient while undergoing treatment. Our Relay Begins as the sun begins setting.

Then the sun rises, representing the end of treatment for the cancer patient. Finally, a light at the end of the tunnel and they know that life will go on. The morning light brings on a new day full of life and excitement and new beginnings for the cancer patient. As a participant, you will feel the brightness of the morning and know that the end of the Relay is close at hand. When you leave the Relay, think of the cancer patient leaving their last treatment. Just as you are exhausted and weak, so is that person after treatment. But there is hope in the new day! The money raised at Relay will support patient services, lifesaving research, prevention educations, and advocacy efforts…and that is why we Relay. This is why I Relay! Support the fighters. Admire the survivors. Honor the taken and never, ever give up Hope. Remember, there is no finish line until we find a cure!

The Spring Creek Mastodon One day, a lone mastodon, probably an old male in his 50s or 60s, limped along the edge of a large river, or perhaps came to the riverbank for a drink. He stepped into a sandy bank and sank deep into the soft, water-saturated sands. He struggled to free himself, but was unable to do so. Working against him were the depth and loose sand and his own physical conditions weakened by age and by infection. He died there.
As the weeks went by, birds and other scavengers fed on the upper part of his body. Some bones, particularly ribs and those of the backbone, were eventually carried downstream by the water; other bones were carried away by scavengers. The skull and tusks weathered into small pieces, some of which were covered by sand and preserved along with most of the leg and foot bones, and a few bones of the ribcage and backbone. Over time, they became fossilized and well-preserved. Time passed, and more sand was deposited on top of the bones. Over the next million-and-a-half years, the climate, overall, became drier. New rivers and streams cut deep arroyos into the once flat plain that the mastodon knew, creating a series of old floodplains and river terraces. The thick sands that once covered the mastodon’s bones began to erode away. Eventually, only three feet of sand and soil remained above the bones. Then, two million years after he died, workers dug a small trench to install a waterline. The machine hit something hard in the sand…. Thus begins the story of the mastodon exhibit in the Northeastern Nevada Museum. This account is from the book, The Spring Creek Mastodon from Discovery to Exhibit, by Bryan Hockett, Beverly Brothers, and Lisa Seymour, and published by the Northeastern Nevada Historical Society in 1997. It is available for sale at the Museum.
of an elephant team. Next to the mastodon, an Asian elephant would look skinny. This mastodon is thought to have been 11 feet tall and weighed approximately four to six tons. The E.L. Wiegand Foundation of Reno donated $142,000 and Brian Wignall of Las Vegas designed an exhibit, which includes a mural of what the mastodon and surrounding country is thought to have looked like, and also displays the actual bones that were found. The exhibit can be seen at the Museum. It is a big hit with young and old alike, and many school field trips come specifically to view and study the mastodon. The Museum is open Tuesday through Saturday from 9:00 to 5:00 and Sunday from 1:00 to 5:00. The last Sunday of each month is Free Sunday. For more information, call 775-738-3418.

The discovery happened on July 29, 1994, while a construction company was digging a waterline trench near Merino Drive in Spring Creek. The bones were studies by local archeologists Bryan Hockett and Tim Murphy and taken to several museums and universities in other states. They were finally identified as belonging to an American Mastodon. It was the first welldocumented such animal found in Nevada or in the Great Basin. Most mastodons have been found in the mid-west or eastern United States. A group of experts and many local volunteers carefully excavated the site. It took six days to excavate and more than a year to clean, glue, and identify the various bones that were found. Approximately 40 to 50% of the bones of the animal were recovered. Although related to, and somewhat similar to an elephant, mastodons were quite different. They were shorter and more massive than elephants. They are considered the “linebackers”
