r F uits r e m m u S t e S we Contributed by Gwen Uhlig of Cucina Fresca

What is a Stone Fruit Peaches, Nectarines, Apricots, Plums, and Cherries are all stone fruits. A thin skin encases succulent flesh that surrounds the seed inside.

The large pit, or seed, is very hard – like, well, a stone. Botanically speaking, these fruits are “drupes,” and are members of the genus Prunus.

Through grafting and hybridizing, many varieties of each fruit exist in different locales.

For peaches, the flesh may be white or yellow, and the pits either “clingstone” or “freestone.”

Nectarines are a variety of peach but without the genetic code for fuzzy skin. This issue’s featured cookbook explains that nectarines are not reliably grown from seed, but rather from nectarine-producing branches grafted onto peach trees.

Similarly, recent hybridizations of stone fruits have produced a flurry of specialty stone fruits: pluots (70% plum + 30% apricot), apriums (75% apricot + 25% plum), plumcots (50% apricot + 50% plum), and one of the latest on the scene, peach-a-rines (50% peach + 50% nectarine).

Orchards are bursting with fruit right now. It's stone fruit season - peaches, nectarines, plums and apricots are making their appearance in abundance.

They're all perfect when eaten out of hand, just keep a napkin handy to handle these original "juicy fruits."

Homemade Peach Ice Cream Mmm…it doesn’t get much better than homemade peach ice cream! This version of ice cream is super quick, easy to make, and the results are more than delicious. It’s the fresh, ripe peaches that make it such a summertime treat.

We predict that you’ll swoon with each spoonful.

Keeping it Cool Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker Churning ice cream has never been easier! 1.5 quart capacity. Pre-frozen insert transfers the chill to your mix.

Zyliss Ice Cream Scoop A good ice cream scoop is needed all year round.

A sturdy handle, and a well-designed scoop do the work.

Tovolo Pop Molds (Many Shapes!)

Though classic ice cream recipes call for a base of egg custard, this easy recipe is thickened with sweetened condensed milk. 1-1/2 pounds (3-4) ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced o(r 3 cups canned or frozen slices) 1/2 cup sugar 1 tablespoon peach brandy or vanilla extract 2 cups half-andhalf cream, chilled 1 cup low-fat milk, evaporated milk, or vanilla soy milk, chilled 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk, chilled 1. Crush the peaches in a large bowl with a potato masher, to make about 2 cups. 2. Add the sugar and brandy and let stand for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally until the sugar has dissolved. 3. Add the cream, milk, and condensed milk and stir to mix. Pour into an ice-cream maker and freeze according to the instructions.

Pops slide out easily thanks to a smart design.

No mess with reusable sticks and drip cup. Stand secures in freezer.

Tip 1

Freeze the ice cream maker’s insert very well (e.g., overnight), prior to making ice cream. Better yet, always store the insert in the freezer so that it is always ready to go. Obtain extra inserts, (if you’re really into ice cream making), so that there’s always a unit available for churning.

Tip 2

Chill all of the ice cream’s ingredients prior to mixing and placing into the ice cream maker. Also, once mixed, a short stint in the freezer or refrigerator helps to cool the mixture allowing it to freeze better.

Tip 3

How to P ick, Ripen, Peel a Peach Choose peaches that have been tree-ripened, and not picked too early. As our cookbook author states, a red blush does not necessarily indicate ripeness. Rather examine the “background color” of the peach; if it shows a greenness, it may have been picked too early. It may grow soft, but never with the sweetness or flavor of a perfectly picked peach. A ripe peach should feel heavy for its size and have a pleasant aroma.

Crush amaretti and add to the peach ice cream, or sprinkle on top. The subtle almond flavor marries well with fresh peaches, and the crunch is most pleasing!

Tip 4

So that you’re equipped to win the next trivia game, the phrase, “a la mode” means “in fashionable style.” It’s become nearly synonymous with placing a scoop of ice cream on top of pie, crisp, or other desserts. Who knew that we had always been so fashionable?

If possible, leave stone fruits on the countertop to ripen naturally. They usually become ripe within a day or two. To hasten ripening, peaches, like other fruits, may be placed in a brown paper bag; this captures and concentrates the fruit’s natural ethylene gases that promote ripening. If peaches are picked too early they will never really ripen. Or, if they are stored at cool refrigerator temperatures in transit before fully ripening, they’ll develop an undesirable, flavorless, mealy texture.

Fully ripened fruits may be stored in the refrigerator for a few days to forestall spoilage.

When you don’t want the fuzz, a serrated peeler will do the job on soft peaches and tomatoes alike. Or, score an “X” on the bottom of each peach, drop them in boiling water for 30 seconds, then immediately plop them into ice water. This blanching routine will “cook” just the skin making it easy to grab with a paring knife and peel away.

Seasonal Crisp with Mixed Stone Fruits All the flavors of a fruit pie, but without the hassle of making a crust! A simple crumb topping imparts plenty of complementary spices to any fresh summer fruit. We made ours in individual pie plates for a personalized presentation.

Tip 1

Add rolled oats or chopped nuts to your crisp mixture for added flavor and crunch. Both will toast as the crisp bakes.

WINE WALK Choose your own flavors with whatever fruits are in season: Combine peaches and plums, apricots and nectarines, apricots and plumcots, peaches and cherries, or any two stone fruits. Serve with yogurt, custard, or sour cream sweetened with honey. 1 cup sifted all-purpose flour 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg 6 tablespoons butter, sliced, and chilled 3 pounds stone fruits of your choice, pitted and sliced (about 6 cups sliced) 1/2 cup granulated sugar 1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. 2. Mix the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Cut in the butter with a pastry blender or knife until the mixture forms large crumbs. 3.

Toss the fruits with the granulated sugar in a 2.5 –3 quart baking dish and spoon the flour mixture over the top. 4. Bake in the middle of the oven for 40 minutes, or until golden.

Tip 2

Start with very cold butter. Dice into ½-inch cubes and add to the flour mixture. Mix the butter with the flour mixture sparingly leaving pea-sized pieces of butter in place.

Tip 3

Use a food processor to quickly and evenly mix the crumb mixture. To mix the topping, use the “pulse” button 7 or 8 times.

Remember, you’re going for a coarse texture.

Enjoy all the flavors of fruit crisp with lower calories. Slice peaches in half, pit and place in a baking dish. Fill the well of the peach with a teaspoon of crumb topping. No need to peel the peaches. Trim a small piece from the bottom of the peach, if necessary, to stabilize and level the peach half. Bake for 20-30 minutes until the peaches are tender and the crisp topping browned.

through nature’s balancing act, osmosis, where the molecular density provided by the sugar coaxes water from the peaches’ cells in an attempt to balance out the fluids.

To thicken juices Heat and sugar draw out the fruit’s juices. Thicken the juices with a tablespoon or two of instant tapioca, or with a slurry of cornstarch dissolved in cold water. Either of these thickening agents will retain the juice’s clarity. (Thickening with flour mixtures will create a more opaque appearance).

Make this with peaches, nectarines, apricots, or plumcots – whichever fruit your family loves and is in season. This makes a sweet snack and adds a lovely chewiness to salads, and grain dishes. Simply dice and sprinkle over, or stir into the dish.

4 pounds fully ripe fruit, pitted and sliced (about 8 cups) 1 cup sugar 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1. Preheat the oven to 150°F. 2. Puree the sliced fruit in a food processor or blender.

Fruit Leather If a bushel of summer fruit comes your way, preserve some of it for the future. It’s easy to make your own dried fruit sheets from pureed fresh fruit.

We chose apricots to experiment with. A thin layer of puree dried to just the right consistency for rolling up and freezing for another day.

3. Place the pureed fruit in a large, heavy pan. Add the sugar and bring to a boil over medium heat.

Stir until the sugar has dissolved, about 3 minutes.

Remove from the heat and allow to cool until just barely warm.

4. Line three jelly-roll pans with wax paper and spread with the fruit mixture so that it is 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick and comes to within 1/2 inch of the edges.

5. Bake with the door propped slightly open (to allow the moisture to escape for about 3 hours. The fruit leather should be slightly sticky and pull away from the wax paper. (If not, leave it in the oven until it does start to pull away).

6. Lift up about 1 inch and start rolling it over in the wax paper. Place in a plastic bag or wrap in plastic. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 month or in the freezer for up to 6 months.

Tip 1

If you have tons of fruit, but not a lot of time to dehydrate and turn it into leather, make the puree, and freeze it until ready to dry in the oven or dehydrator.

Tip 2

By making your own fruit leather, you’re able to adjust the amount of sugar used.

Cookbook Review

Peaches and Other Juicy Fruits From Sweet to Savory – 150 Recipes for Peaches, Plums, Nectarines, and Apricots by Olwen Woodier. Published by Storey Publishing, North Adams, MA. Copyright 2004. Reprinted with permission of the publisher. All rights reserved. For anyone living near an orchard, or simply in love with orchard stone fruits, this cookbook serves as a guide to maximum enjoyment of the season. As noted in the subtitle, in addition to peaches, this book showcases any stone fruit available in mid-to-late summer. The author auditions the juicy fruits across the menu – breads, breakfasts, salads, soups, entrees, drinks, and desserts. Applying the strengths of stone fruits – juicy, firm flesh – she concocts dishes that burst with flavor while highlighting the true taste of each fruit. You’ll enjoy her peachy twists on some classics, as well as some new formulations destined to become favorites in your kitchen.

If drying your fruit leather in the oven, use silicone baking mats to line sheet pans. Microwave safe plastic wrap also makes a good lining. (Parchment paper, usually good for non-stick needs, doesn’t hold up during the longer drying times. Wax paper may be used in low temperature situations, but be aware of wax melting into the puree).

Tip 4

Homemade fruit leather lacks the preservative of commercial varieties. Roll up and store in airtight packaging for a week at room temperature, 2 months in the refrigerator, or up to 1 year in the freezer.

Tip 5

Experiment with complementary spice combinations, essential oils, or citrus zest in your fruit puree.

Tip 6

Add a small amount of lemon juice or apple cider vinegar for a splash of brightness in the flavor. This will also help to prevent browning with fruits that oxidize readily.

P ick your peaches, and place them on the table in your favorite ways.

Use a decent-size highball glass and fill it to the top with ice. Now fill the glass halfway with some good dark rum. Any dark rum is acceptable, but please use your favorite if you have one! Top off the rest of your glass with ginger beer. Ginger ale tends to be a bit sugary, so steer clear for this amazing drink! Last of all, the lime.

Don’t skimp on the lime! It balances

the sweetness and spice of the rum and ginger beer. Squeeze two wedges into the glass and discard them. Take a third wedge, squeeze the juice into the glass and then rub the fleshly part around the rim of the glass and drop it in. Give it a quick stir, and drink! Enjoy your summer outdoors sipping on this wonderful concoction!

Khoury’s Wine of the Month:

Josh Cellars Cabernet

Available exclusively at Khourys market in Elko and Winnemucca.

With so many wineries in the world today it is hard to keep up with the research of ratings and tasting profiles.

Many people have taken to choosing their bottle by being drawn to an eye catching label or rather vaguely remembering something about the winery; “I think it is made in Washington…Saint something” or “you know… the one with song lyrics in the name”. There is another way. Some wineries produce a consistent, great quality juice when they aren’t on the clock. The story is usually something that most people can relate to and thus the

winery sticks in your head making the wine a safe “go to” for any occasion.

Joseph Carr is a Carneros winery that has been in production a mere eight years, but don’t be turned off by their adolescence. The vineyards have produced fruit for over one-hundred years in the rich volcanic red soil.

High elevation paired with cool temperatures and an east facing slope offer an ideal growing situation.

1. Preheat the grill properly…

We take a moment to gaze into the sky as

Always bring your meat back to room temperature before cooking. The biggest struggle with cooking outdoors on a BBQ is to heat the inside without burning the outside.

The warmer food is in the middle before it goes onto the fire, the easier it is to win the non-cinder battle.

cooked outdoors? BBQ’ing doesn’t have to be complicated. We have compiled the top 10 essential BBQ tips to help you make the very most out of your meal, regardless of what type of grill you are using!

19

JULY 2013 | everythingwinnemucca.com

Make sure you are turning your BBQ on a bit early and allowing the grill to preheat. This gives the food a great crust, those beautiful grill marks and that amazing, smokey BBQ flavor.

2. Never cook cold meat…

3. Thin is in…

The thinner the meat, the less far the heat has to travel to cook the middle…. The easier it is to get the inside right, the easier it will be to get the outside perfect. Start with ½” thick then push the meat out with your hands to about a ¼” thick. Using your hands also tenderizes the meat and allows for a wider surface area to soak in more of that BBQ flavor.

the clock the fun begins.

Joseph’s father (also named Joseph) became known to his friends as “Josh”. He was, like many of us, a hard-working man that savored that bit of time after work when friends would gather to

tell stories and tinker on old projects in the garage.

Joseph found himself following in his father’s footsteps, gathering with other wine makers after hours, telling stories and laughing. It was on these cool nights that the wine

we know as Josh was born.

Josh Cellars Cabernet, affectionately referred to as “vin de garage” at the winery, is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. It pushes forward a spicy, black current and berry flavor profile with a hint of the

American Oak that it is aged in. Josh is an ideal choice to compliment a steak dinner or even a spicy pepperoni pizza. But like Joseph and friends, it may also be the perfect wine for just tinkering in the garage!

4. Don’t poke, prod and flip…

It takes time for your crust to develop, and this won’t happen if you are continually flipping your steaks and burgers. Only turn them once or twice. And don’t squash everything down as this forces all the yummy juices to run out and leaves you with sad, dry meat.

5. Never fuel the fire…

Pouring marinade over the meat ensures your flames will flare up and turn everything to charcoal. Drain any excess marinade before placing it on the hot grill.

For fatty meats like chops, it’s best to either trim them or start first on a hot plate and finish up on the BBQ.

6. Degrees matter…

A temperature thermometer is a great way to ensure your internal temperature is appropriate for consumption. Inserting a thermometer is far more accurate than cutting the meat to see “what color is inside” and the meat is able to maintain its juices.

7. Remember Food Hygiene…

Don’t let cooking outdoors make you forget the basics. Always put your cooked food on a clean plate and never add marinade that was used for raw meat to cooked meat.

8. Take a breather…

After the intensity of the heat, the muscle fibers need time to relax and take back the juices. Let the meat rest for a while before cutting into it.

9. Clean your BBQ Grill…

Neglecting the cleaning of your grill will result in damage to the bars. Don’t subscribe to the theory that if you leave the BBQ to burn off any food scraps for a few minutes after cooking that you don’t need to clean it.

10. Expand your BBQ knowledge…

You will be surprised how creative you can become when you experiment with new recipes and techniques. Even cookies can be made on a BBQ! You don’t have to go to that extreme, but it can be great fun to play around with dry rubs, pre and post cooking marinades, skewers, slow cooking and even smoking.

La Tortilla F

T

We look forward to being a part of this community by bringing something so dear to us, something that we grew up enjoying every day, a little taste of Mexico. To us, "the tortilla is our plate, spoon and food."

Here is a little history of the corn tortilla: According to Maya legend, tortillas were invented by a peasant for his hungry king in ancient times. The first tortillas discovered, which date back to approximately 10,000 BC, were made of native maize with dried kernel. The Aztecs used a lot of maize, both eaten straight from the cob and in recipes.

They ground the maize, and used the cornmeal to make a dough called masa. This bread made from maize was later given the name tortilla (little cake) by the Spanish.

Today Tortillas remain a staple food in Mexico and Central America, and have gained popularity and market share elsewhere. In the U.S., tortillas have grown from an "ethnic" to a mainstream food. They have surpassed bagels and muffins, and have now become the number two packaged bread product sold in the U.S (behind sliced bread).

At “La tortilla factory”, our corn tortillas are made with the purest ingredients and no preservatives, they are low in calories, low in fat and gluten free. Our flour tortillas are made with the highest quality ingredients like our

Lovelock Caves Although the drive to Reno proves itself extremely relentless, much of our history lies in the mountains and valleys along the way. The land contains many secrets that date back thousands of years. They are secrets that shine some valuable light on our ancestors and how they lived.

North of the Humboldt Sink lies a large rock shelter known as Lovelock Cave. This magnificent creation is next to the former lakebed of Lake Lahontan, and was formed by the lakes currents and wave action. After an earthquake collapsed the overhang of the mouth, a cave was formed.

Lake Lahontan was a very large body of water that covered much of Western Nevada. Due to the climate changes, the water elevation continued to decrease. Because of this, we are left with much smaller lakes that we know today as Pyramid Lake, Lake Lahontan, Humboldt Lake and the Stillwater and Carson Lake Wetlands.

Dating back to 1000 BC, humans used the Lovelock Cave extensively. It is believed that during the summer, insects were unbearable next to the marshy wetlands. Therefore, inhabitants used the cave as shelter during the cold winter months.

JULY 2013 | everythingwinnemucca.com

Lovelock Caves

During the fall season, they would use their time hunting, gathering and storing foods and materials to last them through the harsh winter. The women would gather food and were responsible for crafting important items. Fibers from dogbane and milkweed were used to make baskets, and the baskets were then used to store vegetation that was harvested. Men would use their time hunting.

History and artifacts recovered from the cave suggest that people in the area were extremely mobile, but also show incredible periods of growth and occupation among the people.

Trace Fossils recovered from the Lovelock Cave reveal that 90% of the inhabitants’ diet came directly from the Humboldt Sink. Several species of fish were eaten and hunting techniques included the use of nets, traps and hooks made from fishbone. Hand held grinding stones were abundantly used to process plant foods like seeds and nuts.

Waterfowl was attracted to the Great Basin Marshes, and hunters soon became expert bird hunters.

They used their duck decoys to lure prey, and then shoot the

25

JULY 2013 | everythingwinnemucca.com

birds from blinds. As hunters became more experienced, they would wear reeds and duck skins to stalk birds and surprise them.

In 1911, two miners were hired to collect bat guano from the cave to be used as fertilizer.

The guano was dug up, screened on the hillside outside the entrance of the cave and then shipped to a fertilizer company in California. The men were aware of the artifacts they were uncovering, but only the most interesting items were saved.

Eventually, the Paleontology Department at the University of California was contacted by the mining company when the artifacts proved plentiful.

During the spring of 1912, an employee of the Museum of Anthropology, L.L. Loud, was sent to the cave to recover any materials that remained from the miners. Loud excavated for over five months and recovered roughly 10,000 material remains.

Twelve years later, Loud returned to Lovelock Cave with an associate, M.R. Harrington. Loud and Harrington were assisted by local Paiute Indians to attempt the recovery of any additional materials left from previous

excavations. They found several more fragments in the east end and center of the cave. The team also dug to the base of the deposits in the west end and discovered the famous duck decoy cache.

The cache consisted of eleven duck decoys. This included eight painted and feathered decoys and three unfinished decoys. The remarkable decoys were made from bundled tule, a long grass-like herb, covered in feathers and painted.

The Lovelock Cave, previously known as Sunset Guano Cave and Horseshoe Cave, is about 150 feet long and 35 feet wide. It is one of the most important sights of the Great Basin Region. The cave was placed on the National Register of Historical Places on May 24th, 1984. It was the first major cave in the Great Basin to be excavated.

The dry environment of the cave allowed for wellpreserved artifacts that provide a glimpse on how people lived in the area. Feathers from various birds and textiles were recovered as well as common fibers used in nets, baskets, sandals and traps.

The cave was believed to be last used in the mid1800’s as indicated by a gun cache and trace fossils.

The material was tested through radiocarbon dating and placed to about 1850.

The Lovelock Museum, currently housed in the fully restored Marzen House, showcases interesting artifacts and history from Lovelocks rich past. An exhibit on the archeology of Lovelock Cave and the Humboldt Sink are also displayed proudly.

The BLM Winnemucca Field office has created a fun, interesting opportunity to learn more about this amazing discovery. Through their Back Country Byway Program, they have created a self-guided tour.

Your first stop is at the old Marzen House in Lovelock to pick up the Lovelock Cave Back Country Byway booklet. The booklet guides you along a 20 mile driving tour filled with thousands of years of history.

Along the way, you will pass the site of the very first Indian-operated school started by Sarah Winnemucca.

Look close and you will see a trace of the California trial which was once used by thousands of emigrants looking for the promised riches of sunny California in the 1800’s. Along the slopes of the Humboldt Range are terraces, or step-like horizontal lines, that were once an ancient shoreline of Lake Lahontan. Near by the cave you will see a windmill built by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC). The windmill was used to draw drinking water out of the Humboldt Sink for cattle. Once you arrive at the Cave sight, you will find interpretive signs and a nature trail brochure to help you experience all this beautiful land has to offer.

As with any area, the Lovelock Cave deserves our respect.

Please enjoy your visit, but “Leave no Trace”.

A Dutch oven is a thick-walled iron (usually cast iron) cooking pot with a tight fitting lid. It is commonly referred to as a 'camp oven' in the Australian bush, cocotte in French, Dutch labea in Basque, a 'casserole dish' in British English, and is similar to both the Japanese tetsunabe and the Sac, a traditional Balkan cast-iron oven.

During the late 1600s the Dutch system of producing these cast metal cooking vessels was more advanced than the English system. The Dutch used dry sand to make their molds, giving their pots a smoother surface. Consequently, metal cooking vessels produced in the Netherlands were imported into Britain. In 1704, an Englishman named Abraham Darby decided to go to the Netherlands to observe the Dutch system for making these cooking vessels.

Four years later, back in England, Darby patented a casting procedure similar to the Dutch process and began to produce cast metal cooking vessels for Britain and the new American Colonies. It is possible that because Darby's patent was based upon his research into the Dutch foundry system that the cooking vessels he produced came to be referred to as "Dutch" ovens. Other researchers believe that this term may have come from the itinerant Dutch traders who sold cooking vessels out of their wagons as they

The History of Dutch Oven Cooking traveled from town to town and door to door. Maybe both accounts are true. In any event, the term "Dutch oven" has endured for over 300 years.

Over time the Dutch oven used in the American Colonies began to change. The pot became shallower and legs were added to hold the oven above the coals. A flange was added to the lid to keep the coals on the lid and out of the food. The cast-iron cookware was loved by colonists and settlers because of its versatility and durability. It could be used for boiling, baking, stews, frying, roasting, and just about any other use. The ovens were so valuable that wills in the 18th and 19th centuries frequently spelled out the desired inheritor of the cast iron cookware. For example, Mary Washington (mother of President George Washington) specified in her will, dated May 20, 1788 that one-half of her "iron kitchen furniture" should go to her grandson, Fielding Lewis, and the other half to Betty Carter, a granddaughter. Several Dutch ovens were among Mary's "iron kitchen furniture".

When the young American country began to spread westward across the North American continent, so did the Dutch oven. A Dutch oven was among the gear Lewis and Clark carried when they explored the great American Northwest in 1804-1806.

31

JULY 2013 | everythingwinnemucca.com

The pioneers who settled the American West also took along their Dutch ovens. In fact, a statue raised to honor the Mormon handcart companies who entered Utah's Salt Lake Valley in the 1850s proudly displays a Dutch oven hanging from the front of the handcart. The Dutch oven is also the official state cooking pot of Utah.

Mountain men exploring the great American frontier used Dutch ovens into the late 1800s and it was prominent among those who took part in the western cattle drives that lasted from the mid 1800s into the early 1900s. Basque sheepherders and settlers used Dutch ovens too and it is even specific to some Basque bread and Basque bean recipes that “without the use of a ‘properly seasoned’ cast iron Dutch oven the end result of the recipe could not be guaranteed.

Today, Dutch oven cooking has grown in popularity across the country. The International Dutch Oven Society alone has eight regions! Nevada belongs to Region 4 along with Utah which is where the World Championships are held each year. Dutch oven enthusiasts have Dutch Oven Gatherings more commonly referred to as a DOG several times a year where they get together to share their dish with others, give Dutch oven cooking classes, and enjoy the outdoors with family and friends. It can be a casual get together to enjoy each other’s food and company or a highly competitive cook off with cash prizes and trophies. Dutch ovens aren’t just for beans and chili anymore. There are folks wowing the crowd turning out dishes like Pineapple Upside Down Cake, Coconut Rum Custard Bread Pudding, Seafood Paella, and Lasagna. And you can too!

Using all-natural hair care products is the best practice for getting beautiful, strong and smooth hairs. Most hair care products on the market today are not natural and are manufactured using a variety of chemicals

and synthetic materials. These artificial products, although helpful for better hair while styling, can also be harmful to your scalp, skin and body.

The benefits of using natural hair products are many as these products contain plant-driven components and have been used for millions of years! Natural henna, Amla (Indian Gooseberry), Shikakai (Acacia Concinna), olive oil, eggs, multani mitti (Fuller’s Earth), reetha (Soap Nut or Soapberry), honey and avocado are some of the most frequently used natural ingredients for hair and skin care products. And they smell good, too! They contain flower or fruit components that aid in the fresh scent you inhale! Don’t get me wrong, most chemical products also smell wonderful, but this smell is just an outcome of the chemicals and synthetic perfumes which can never compete with the real thing.

Roots of your hair are alive, and just like any other organ; these roots require nourishment in order to sustain healthy growth and natural functioning. All natural products are generally free of all side effects and are repeatedly tested to ensure quality.

B-complex vitamins and zinc work together and are essential for getting and maintaining healthy hair. They increase shine, luster and growth of your hair naturally. Biotin and Pantothenic Acid are vital to producing keratin.

Keratin helps to prevent hair loss and graying.

Niacin promotes scalp circulation and helps in regulating healthy hair growth.

Components: Henna—It’s a plant with small green leaves and the leaves are used to make powder, paste and gels. Henna is also used as products for creating natural hair color along with the composition of other natural ingredients.

Shikakai Powder—It is a small tree which grows in warm and dry places in central India. It is generally used as a powder that works to clean and detangle your hair.

Reetha Powder—Also known as Soapberry, it is a small fruit that is dried and ground down to make powder. It is generally used to remove dandruff and lice from the hairs.

Multani Mitti—It is a natural way to remove impurities from your face and head. It can be applied during a bath just like soap.

Seems as though everyone is affected by stress to some extent these days. The world can be a pretty scary place when you factor in fear of losing your job, diminished equity in retirement accounts, investments and real estate, businesses closing their doors… So it’s really no wonder stress levels are at an all-time high!

So what do you do when you feel stressed? Do you reach for a pill or a glass of wine to calm you down? Do you escape into sleep in the confines of your room? Do you call a friend, attend a support group meeting or schedule a therapy session? Are some choices better than others? Of course they are…

If you’re looking for an all-natural stress buster, try one of these: Contributed by Dr. Todd Wendell of Ruby Mountain Chiropractic Center

Relay For Life of Winnemucca is dedicated to remembering loved ones taken by cancer and honoring those who have fought or are fighting cancer now. Have you or a loved one ever heard the words “You have cancer?” The American Cancer Society defines a Survivor as anyone who has ever heard those words. Each Relay For Life event begins with a Survivor Lap around the track, where we all can join together and celebrate the lives of each survivor.

Relay For Life of Winnemucca July 20th & 21st @Lowry High School Football Field

51

JULY 2013 | everythingwinnemucca.com

The word cancer causes a feeling of fear within us, yet as we gather together and celebrate the victories over cancer we each remember why we participate in Relay For Life. You and I can help change the word cancer from being terrifying to meaning victory. This year there are over 14 million cancer survivors who can celebrate this victory. At this year’s event we will be holding a Survivor and Caregiver dinner at 6pm July 20th. We invite all Survivors to come and join in this celebration, to do so please contact Kayla Jonas, Team Development Chair at 775.283.8306 or kaylajrelay@hotmail.com.

Fighting Cancer 24/7 - 1.800.227.2345 - cancer.org

Unfortunately cancer does not always result in a victory and we lose great lives because of this disease. Relay For life will not forget those we have lost. At every event across the nation, lives are remembered and honored with personalized Luminarias that light up the stadium. You can dedicate a luminaria to a loved one or friend by contacting Mikki Ingle, Luminaria Chair at ingletm@live.com.. Luminarias are bags that can be personalized with a name, drawing or picture. There is a beautiful Luminaria Ceremony that begins at 9 pm July 20th and the luminarias will illuminate the stadium, each representing a special life that is being honored, remembered or celebrated. We look forward to remembering, honoring and celebrating with you.

Your Relay dollars will support the work of the American Cancer Society in four key areas in the fight against cancer: research, education, advocacy, and service.

The Society is the largest source of non-profit, nongovernmental cancer research funding in the U.S., investing about $130 million each year. We also have a great track record, with 44 ACS funded researchers who later went on to win the Nobel Prize.

Following the Society’s wellness and cancer detection guidelines can save your life and the lives of the people you love. We publish educational materials and promote programs for the early detection and prevention of cancer for the community, our schools, physicians, and cancer patients.

We fight for life-saving laws to increase federal research funding, reduce tobacco use, promote early detection of cancers, improve access to care and insurance coverage, and support cancer patients.

We provide many patient and family support services to help people with cancer during and after treatment. Anyone, anywhere can access cancer information and support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at 1.800.227.2345 or at cancer.org.

For more information about out Relay For Life of Winnemucca, please feel free to contact Anda Latham, Event Chair at Winnemucca.relayer@gmail. com or 503.333.8894.

WHO WE ARE My name is Linda Ames, the owner/broker/Realtor Professional of Nevada Country Property. I am very excited to be able to offer my services to the Winnemucca and surrounding areas. My husband, Dean Ames & I raise Angus cattle in our cow calf operation. Even though he is semi-retired Dean continues to raise, train and show Quarter horses at our ranch. Dean loves to compete in reining competitions as he has for many years. Dean is a many time World Champion reining competitor and trainer who still enjoys the best of the best horses. Dean is the founder of West Coast Reined Horse Association in California which has grown to be such a great extension of the National Reined Horse Association (NRHA).

We have owned our ranch here for over 13 years.

We love Winnemucca and are happy to call it home.

We thrive in the ranch life and enjoy the wide open spaces here. We really enjoy riding the horses out or taking the quads when we can sneak away from the ranch for a little while. Ranch life is demanding and filled with so much reward, the little rewards, these rewards are not the kind you buy in a store. The crazy things the animals do are always good for a chuckle, mother nature-even at her worst is mesmerizing and spectacular.

53

JULY 2013 | everythingwinnemucca.com

It is a family affair as our grandchildren carry on the tradition and also compete in many events here including the Ranch Rodeo. They rope and ride in many gathering and brandings in the area in addition to competing in working cow horse and reining events. Everyone in the family is considered an “animal person� and we all love the time we spend with our animals. When getting together, we all like to share stories about the animals and talk about the competition side of things.

WHAT WE DO In my work life I am a Real Estate Broker/Realtor professional. I have been in the Real Estate industry for over 30 years in all aspects of the real estate industry.

I began my career in the industry on the lending side. Later I moved into Title and Escrow progressing into land development and subdivisions. Over time I migrated over into the sales side of the industry. All of my experience in the other aspects of real estate has ultimately benefited my clients in that no matter what comes up in a buying or selling situation, and things come up more than most people realize, my experience allows me to remedy the situation quickly.

This allows for a smooth transaction.

Integrity means doing the right thing at all times and in all circumstances

I have worked with a couple of the large franchise real estate companies in the past. What makes a franchise different from an independent office? Other than the name recognition there is no difference. Do you get better service because it is a franchise? Not really. It is the people within the organization not the sign on the building. It makes no difference in reality it is only the perception of the public. For the privilege of using the franchise name the company has to pay franchise fees and generally pass it on to their agents.

I have found that many families who have owned a home or purchased land do not understand the process in spite of the fact that they have been through the process in their past. No one has taken the time to educate them about the process. I take the time to educate my clients in every step of buying and selling process making us a good team.

Understanding every step of the process makes you a savvy buyer or seller. There are a lot of steps in a transaction, with different levels and plateaus. There is a lot to know, anytime you have a question feel free to give me a call or stop for a cup of coffee and chat. My door is always open.

One of the most common challenges I have observed in the sales of property is the expectation by the owner regarding the correct selling price.

As an example, a seller feels his home has a value of 1 million dollars. A buyer believes this property is worth a lot less. Who is right? A common response by many real estate agents is that a property is worth what a buyer is willing to pay for it. This is partly true, but there is always more to this story. There are many different paths the above situation could take. A Realtor Professional can assist you in a market analysis, taking into account the benefits and negatives of your property to add up to the best price to market your property.

One of the most common mistakes in selling property is the sellers asking price is too high. A high listing price will simply alienate some buyers before they even see your property. Other buyers could expect more than your home really has to offer. Over-priced properties tend to take an unusually long time and sell for a lower price than a similar home that's priced right Another common situation happens if your home has languished unsold on the market for months, but you can't fathom why. No traffic (prospective buyers) coming through your home. There are many reasons this can happen. It is too lengthy to go into detail in this article, however, I will highlight a few, there are more and it is a good subject for discussion.

I have always had a pro-active office atmosphere within my office stressing a team culture. Having a positive working atmosphere creates long lasting bonds of friendship and cooperation as opposed to being a competitive atmosphere. I have always had my agents rewarded on a regular basis in many different ways including quarterly awards and recognition for a great job as well as putting in good effort-a hard try deserves recognition. I am always looking for positive experts in our field.

I do take on interns and train new agents. It is a fun career and very rewarding. Being a Broker is a great job, I love my job, sharing and coaching is part of what I like doing the most. Watching an agent blossom and spread their wings is very rewarding to me.

It is not just buying and selling for me, it is about building relationships. I have made so many friends in this business from folks that were my clients and continue to be my clients.

Our listings are always posted in the MLS (multiple listing service) for the largest exposure to Prospective Buyers and Board Certified Realtor Professionals. People won't consider buying or Realtors selling your property to their qualified buyers if they don't know it exists. Posting on the MLS gives sellers a huge advantage in getting their property sold. Is your property for sale listed in the MLS? If it isn’t it should be.

What is the MLS? Realtor Professionals get the utmost exposure to properties for sale on the open market by utilizing the specialized private network of the MLS (multiple listing service). Every listing is posted in this network by Realtor Professionals and every Realtor Professional utilizes it to identify properties for their buyers. The listings placed on this network are seen by thousands of Realtor Professionals who have active buyers looking for property just like yours. Only Realtor Professionals are permitted to use the MLS. Not every agent is a Realtor Professional.

People won't consider buying or Realtor Professionals selling your property to their qualified buyers if they don't know it exists. Posting on the MLS gives sellers a huge advantage in getting their property sold. Is your property for sale listed in the MLS? If it isn’t it should be.

As Realtor Professionals Nevada Country Property will always do the right thing & utilize the MLS network in addition to all the other marketing vehicles for our clients. We utilize every possible avenue to market a property which allows prospective buyers to know when a property is for sale. That is my job, utilizing every possible avenue to market all property for sale by doing the right thing. To do anything short of that is unacceptable, unreasonable & a poor business practice.

We take pride in our work and are devoted to your satisfaction in obtaining your goal whether buying or selling a property. As Realtor Professionals we always use every possible avenue to market listed properties including the MLS.

True or False? Test Your Coverage

IQ

Contributed by SFLC

Only 45 percent of Americans feel confident enough to make insurance decisions, according to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC).

Where do you stand? There’s no time like the present to enhance your insurance literacy.

The more you know, the better able you are to protect yourself, your family and your largest investments. Test your knowledge and learn more with this short quiz:

57

JULY 2013 | everythingwinnemucca.com

TRUE

FALSE?

1. Your homeowners coverage should equal the estimated replacement cost of your home, not the purchase price

Direct Program are able to write and service flood insurance .coverage for qualifying homes directly through the federal government program, NFIP Direct.

2. Your homeowners insurance policy covers 3. False. A Personal Liability Umbrella Policy flood damage.

3. A solution for people who want extra levels of liability insurance protection above the limits provided by their Auto and Homeowners Policies is called an Overflow Policy.

4. Your address may impact your auto insurance rate.

5. Your life insurance policy should cover 10 times your yearly income.

ANSWERS

1. True. It’s up to you to choose the coverages and limits that meet your needs, but it’s best to insure your home for at least 100 percent of its estimated replacement cost —the cost of repairing or replacing your home to restore its original condition. Estimated replacement cost is different from market value or purchase price.

If you select a coverage amount lower than the estimated replacement cost, certain coverages may be unavailable to you. Periodically review your coverages and limits with your agent and notify your agent of any changes or additions to your home.

2. False. Homeowners policies typically exclude flood coverage. Adding coverage may be worth looking into, no matter where you live. According to the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), more than 20 percent of all flood claims happen in moderate- to low-risk areas. State Farm® agents enrolled in the NFIP

layers on top of your existing existing underlying policies to provide extra protection when home and auto liability limits are exhausted. Your agent can help explain how a Personal Liability Umbrella can help ensure that your family and financial health are protected in the event of an accident or lawsuit.

4. True. People who live in densely populated areas—noted for higher occurrences of accidents and theft—will likely pay more for auto insurance than those who live in rural areas, where accidents and theft are less prevalent. Other factors that may influence the cost of auto insurance: vehicle type, coverage, and driving record.

5. False. There is no “one-size-fits-all” formula for selecting life insurance coverage—it’s a personal matter. The State Farm Life Insurance Calculator can estimate the amount of coverage you may need to help protect your family.

Want to know more? Enhance your knowledge of insurance by talking to your State Farm agent. Establishing an open dialogue with your State Farm agent is the best way to answer any questions you may have.

Because insurance protection is a contract, any coverage descriptions in this article are general only and are not statements of contract. All coverage are subject to all policy provisions, including applicable endorsements.

Have you ever wondered why...

the flag of the USA is folded 13 times?

Although this interpretation is not official, these sentiments have been adopted as a tradition by many veterans and family members of veterans of our great nation as they reflect what we recognize about our flag and our country.

They give meaning and hope to those family members who have lost a loved one fighting for our freedoms.

The 1st fold of our flag is a symbol of life.

The 2nd fold is a symbol of our belief in eternal life.

The 3rd fold is made in honor and remembrance of the veterans departing our ranks who gave a portion of their lives for the defense of our country to attain peace throughout the world.

The 4th fold represents our weaker nature, for as American citizens trusting in God, it is to Him we turn in times of peace as well as in time of war for His divine guidance.

The 5th fold is a tribute to our country, for in the words of Stephen Decaur, "Our Country", in dealing with other countries, may she always be right; but it is still our country, right or wrong.

The 8th fold is a tribute to the one who entered into the valley of the shadow of death, that we might see the light of day.

The 9th fold is a tribute to womanhood, and mothers. For it has been through their faith, their love, loyalty and devotion that the character of the men and women who have made this country great has been molded.

The 10th fold is a tribute to the father, for he, too, has given his sons and daughters for defense of our country since they were first born.

The 11th fold represents the lower portion of the seal of King David and King Solomon and glorifies in the Hebrews eyes, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

The 12th fold represents an emblem of eternity and glorifies, in the Christians eyes, God the Father, the Son, and Holy Spirit.

The 13th fold, or when the flag is completely folded, the stars are uppermost reminding us of our nations motto, "In God We Trust."

After the flag is completely folded and tucked in, it takes on the appearance of a cocked hat, ever reminding us of the soldiers who served under

We had quite the crowd on our opening day.

Kids and their families enjoyed a pancake breakfast, face painting, several carnival style games, and the Nevada Outdoor School.

There were visits from Smokey the Bear, a Winnemucca motorcycle cop, an ambulance and the rural fire truck while signing up for the reading program.

Kids have been getting prizes as fast as they can check out books and read them, but we still have until the end of July to sign people up and get them in on the fun! Signing up for our summer reading program qualifies you for up to 3 prizes a week until the end of our program on July 31st. All you have to do is read. Those who turn in at least 1 reading log are automatically entered into the

drawing for the grand prize, but there is also a top reader prize for the person who reads the most in their age category, so don’t stop reading!

There are several more crafts coming up this month to join in on. Try your hand at mosaics by adding tiles to a terracotta saucer Friday, July 26th, or if painting is more your thing, paint and decorate a treasure chest on Friday, July 12th. Those with a green thumb will enjoy our Hairy Prints craft on Friday, July 26th where you can decorate

a flower pot and then have the grass seed you plant grow into a handprint or cookiecutter shape! All crafts cost $2 each.

One of our biggest craft projects is the chance for young boys and girls to learn to sew their own lap quilt. For $15 and two days of your time, children ages 11-18 are provided with the training and materials to sew together and finish their very own quilt. Call now to sign up because space and materials are limited and sign-ups are on a first come, first serve basis.

To register, or just to learn more about the Library and our Summer Program, call Jessica or Becca at 775-623-6388, and Dig into Reading!

S'mores Bars Crust: 1 C graham cracker crumbs, 3 T unsalted butter; melted, 2 T sugar Brownie: 8 T unsalted butter, 4 oz unsweetened chocolate, 1 1/4 C sugar, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1/4 tsp salt, 2 eggs, 1/2 cup flour Topping: 20 large marshmallows; cut in half

Directions 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line an 8-inch-square metal baking pan with foil and spray lightly with nonstick cooking spray.

2. Combine the graham cracker crumbs, 3 tablespoons of melted butter in a bowl and mix until the crumbs are moistened. Press the crumbs evenly into the bottom of the pan and bake at 350 degrees for 7 minutes. Allow crust to cool on wire rack.

3. Turn the oven temperature up to 400 degrees and prepare the brownie layer.

4. In top of a double boiler set over barely simmering water, or on low power in a microwave, melt butter and chocolate together. Stir often, and remove from heat when a few lumps remain. Stir until smooth.

5. Stir in sugar, vanilla and salt. Stir in eggs one at a time, followed by flour.

Stir until very smooth, until mixture pulls away from sides of bowl. Scrape batter into prepared pan and bake for 18 minutes.

6. Let cool completely, then lift out using the foil and place brownies onto a broiler safe pan. Move your oven rack about 6 inches from your broiler and preheat your broiler to low.

7. Layer marshmallows (sticky side down) across the top and toast under the broiler until golden, (watch this like you have never watched anything before‌it can burn QUICK), about 2 minutes. Cool and cut into squares.

Of the many defining moments in our lives there are few as intense as our first true loss.

A Hope Tree in the Desert By this I don’t mean the dog we lose as children growing up or the goldfish we bring home from the fair only to have flushed down the toilet a few days later. As difficult as these deaths may be at their perspective moment, they do not compare to the first time we lose a loved one that was a true part of our ever day life. Whether this death is sudden or awaited after a long fought illness, there is a definite dividing line that is created; separating our lives before from the new normal that emerges after experiencing the grief of loss. The grief process is different for each individual and each family as a whole with its rollercoaster like path of ups, downs, and unexpected twists. During this process families find themselves overwhelmed with a “to do” list of events, and emotional burdens to deal with.

Primary care givers find themselves attempting to balance all of this while continuing to fulfill their daily responsibilities. As adults we struggle to comprehend and manage our emotions following the death of a loved one. This process is intensified for children and teens that are still developing an understanding of the permanence of death; while being onlookers to the adult caregiver’s struggles and emotions. Currently the avenues for outside support to these local families are limited to immediate services such

as funeral services, local parish assistance, or private counseling for those who can and wish to seek out these services, but we have no ongoing support group for children, teens, and their caregivers that will provide a space of support through their grief process.

Through the combined efforts of the Frontier Community Action Agency (FCAA), Monica Gonzalez, Solace Tree representative, and community support this will soon change with the creation of Hope Tree, a local grief support group. Hope Tree will be modeled after Solace Tree, a grief support program based out of Reno, Nevada that offers free peer support groups for children ages 2-18 and their parents or caregivers that have experienced the loss of a loved one. The children's groups are open to children who have lost a parent, caregiver, sibling, friend, grandparent, or relative. Parent/ Caregiver groups are open to those who have lost a child or spouse.

Hope Tree will provide the same much needed services to our local children and their caregivers experiencing the aftermath of the death of a loved one.

As Hope Tree gained steam in our community, a group of teens and young adults, which make up the local Spirit of Mexico group, expressed

Hope Tree will be a haven for children, teens, and their families to have the freedom to express their feelings associated with death in a loving and safe environment by providing peer support groups to learn to cope and adjust to the changes in their lives. Hope Tree peer support program will give children an outlet for their feelings while participating in fun, child oriented activities.

interest in a grief support retreat. In 2012 the group of teens experienced the loss of two of their young group members as a result of unexpected tragedies. Monica Gonzales facilitated a 1 day retreat in which 20 members of the group participated in various activities, ranging from games to reflective sharing.

The participants expressed great gratitude in having the opportunity to open up and share their feelings about their losses and honor the memory of their loved ones. Many stated that sharing in the group gave them a sense of having a weight lifted off their shoulders and knowing they’re not alone in their journey of healing.

Fundraising efforts to begin this program have been in progress in our community since February 2012 and we are very close to reaching our goal of $5,000 needed as we are at $3926. The FCAA appreciates the generous support of our community, Humboldt General Hospital, Humboldt Hospice, Great Basin Arts & Entertainment, and individuals who have come forward in offering to volunteer as facilitators for the group. This program is all about finding light in our darkest moments; and our donors have

certainly taken that to heart, helping us see light when we didn’t know if we would ever see this program off the ground.

As we get closer to closing the gap in the funding needed, we look forward to seeing our local community come together in support of this program. As any Winnemuccan knows our community sure can come together to help each other out in difficult times. Hope Tree is in need of a place to hold the support group meetings, volunteers to facilitate groups, and last but not least the donations to reach our final goal of $5,000 to cover supplies and training.

The FCAA is always open to those who would like to volunteer or learn more about our current community efforts within Humboldt County and the other programs we offer. If you would like to help or have any questions regarding our organization, you may contact us at (775) 623-9003. Or stop by our offices located at 640 Melarkey Street, Suite 3, Winnemucca, Nevada.

The more people who know about the social issues affecting our community, the more likely they are to take action to help or know how to help their own children and families.

SSIR HistorY More than 28 years ago, a bunch of us parents were sitting around after the State Finals Rodeo talking sadly about the kids who had been great contenders all year and just missed qualifying for the National Finals Rodeo – every contestant’s dream.

There were always those few who we cried for and tried to console.

Then, one day, returning from a National meeting in Denver, Rich Lee and Marcia deBraga hatched a plan. What if a consolation rodeo were held for those who, on any other given day, would have made it to Nationals themselves? The rodeo would feature the same format, enticing awards, the whole enchilada, but on a smaller scale.

After convincing their spouses, cousins Fern Lee and Lyle deBraga, that they really should be equally enthusiastic about the project, the Silver State International Rodeo was born.

73

JULY 2013 | everythingwinnemucca.com

The first year, the SSIR was only open to contestants from the Western states and had about 150 entries. But it caught on and began to grow.

Families who came to Fallon were greeted with warm hospitality by the business community. They had a good time. There was a bit less pressure on them that they experienced at the National Finals. They went home and told their friends.

Changes were made: the rodeo was opened up to the 5th through 15th place finisher. Contestants were allowed to pick one extra event. A volleyball tournament was added and then changed to a mud volleyball tournament – even more fun than the normal game – and it created more business for our local laundromats. In the spirit of family fun, we added dog races. When the SSIR moved to Winnemucca, and because they have a bigger facility, we added roping practices, a triathlon that

includes bowling, horseshoes, the Rifle and Trap Shoot, and a scavenger hunt for added entertainment.

The awards have also been increased in both quality and number. In the early days of the SSIR, contestants won plaques in go-arounds, buckles for overall event wins and saddles to the All-Arounds. Now, in addition to the saddle, All-Arounds get a 3 horse slant horse trailer. Runner ups to the all around will get a saddle and a buckle.

Buckles are given to fourth place in every go around and saddles go to the first place in every timed event with chaps and vests to the rough stock events. Buckles are also given second through fourth for the overall event winners in all events. There will also be a rifle and a shotgun for 1st place in the shooting events as well as buckles for 2nd through 4th place.

Within a few years, the rodeo had to be expanded from four days to six because there were so many entries. During the past few years, upwards of 500 contestants have entered and the individual competition and the team competition have been fierce.

An yet, contestants always seem to be willing to help each other when the need arises, even if the contestant they are helping could, ultimately, beat them.

Utah has dominated the team standings, due in large part to the depth they have among the reserve champions. Because of its huge membership of many fine athletes coupled with the fact that it sends a very full team, Utah is hard to beat. But, other state teams are becoming equally competitive and come with the goal of beating Utah.

After 25 wonderful years in Fallon, the SSIR moved to the Winnemucca Events Complex because of its ever-growing number of contestants and the need for more room.

The Events Complex is adding more camp spaces again this year to accommodate our growing numbers.

2013 marks the 28th year for the SSIR and it has a good reputation for being a quality rodeo with excellent stock and wonderful awards. But, the host committee is never satisfied and will continue to look for ways to upgrade and improve the SSIR.
