Green Bean, Snap Pea, and Pesto Salad  with Cherry Tomatoes and Fresh Mozzarella Serves 6 For impromptu entertaining on a summer evening, this is your salad, your side dish, your everything. So just throw some steaks on the grill and you’re all set. Or even better, start a beer-can chicken roasting on the grill while you make this salad. It will take you a little bit of time to prep the vegetables, but prepared pesto (preferably a good one from the farmers’ market or one made locally) is a time-saver here.

Ingredients: Kosher salt, 8 oz./225 g yellow wax beans, trimmed and halved

You may not be in the habit of using whole or torn herb leaves in a salad, but with basil, in particular, larger pieces give you a welcome burst of flavor without the bitterness that comes when basil is chopped too much (especially with a dull knife).

lengthwise 8 oz./225 g sugar snap peas, tails removed 8 oz./225 g small red and yellow cherry tomatoes  or grape tomatoes, halved 6 oz./170 g mini-mozzarella balls (1in/2.5 cm), quartered 1/4 cup/60 ml prepared basil pesto 1 tsp. white balsamic vinegar 1/2 tsp. fresh lemon juice, and more if needed 1 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil 1/3 cup/45 g toasted pine nuts  20 to 30 large fresh basil leaves, torn in smaller pieces Freshly ground black pepper 1. Fill a large saucepan two-thirds full with water and add 2 tsp. salt. Arrange a few layers of dish towels on a work surface or a sheet pan to drain the beans and peas. Add the beans to the boiling water and begin timing immediately. Boil until the beans are tender to the bite, 4 to 8 m inutes. (Begin tasting after 4 minutes;

the timing varies greatly, depending on the age of the beans and how quickly your burner returns the water to a boil.) Use tongs to lift the beans out of the water and spread them out on the towels to let them cool and to let excess moisture evaporate. Put the snap peas in the boiling water and cook until theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re bright green and just slightly softened, about 2 minutes. Drain on towels and let cool. 2. Season both the tomatoes and the mozzarella with a pinch or two of salt. Put them in a large mixing bowl and add the wax beans, snap peas, and 3/4 tsp. salt. In a small bowl, whisk together the pesto, vinegar, 1/2 tsp. lemon juice, and olive oil. Pour over the vegetables and mix and toss well. Add the pine nuts and basil and season with several grinds of fresh pepper. Toss well and let the vegetables sit for 5 to 10 minutes. Toss again and taste, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice as needed.

Summer Food Safety 1. On warm days, food should not be left out for more than two hours. 2. On days above 90F, do not leave food out more than one hour. 3. Avoid cross-contamination while preparing the food. 4. Pack raw meats and poultry separately from fresh or cooked foods.

Colorful Chinese Kick-Slaw Serves 4 or 5 It’s not only refreshing but colorful, too, with the red cabbage, orange carrots, and green snow peas. The flavors hold up well, so it could be made ahead. But I think the texture suffers some, so I recommend assembling it pretty close to serving time. Put this out for any summer buffet, or use it as a bed for grilled flank steak or swordfish.

Ingredients: 1/2 small head red cabbage (about 9 oz/255 g)cored and thinly

I call this kick-slaw because it’s got kicky flavors – ginger, garlic, lime, and sesame.

sliced 5 oz./140 g snow peas, tails trimmed, each cut sharply on a diagonal into 3 pieces 4 oz./115 g carrots, shredded (use the large holes of a box grater) 1/2 tsp. kosher salt 2 tsp. minced garlic 1 Tbsp. finely chopped fresh ginger 1 Tbsp. fresh lime juice 2 Tbsp. orange juice 2-1/2 Tbsp. hoisin sauce 1 Tbsp. soy sauce 1/2 tsp. sesame oil 1-1/2 Tbsp. peanut oil 1/4 cup/15 g chopped fresh cilantro 1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cabbage, snow peas, and carrots. Sprinkle with the salt and mix well. 2. In a small bowl, combine the garlic, ginger, lime juice, orange juice, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, and peanut oil. Mix well and pour over the cabbage mixture. Mix thoroughly, add the cilantro, and mix again. Serve at room temperature.

Conquering the Cabbage It’s a terrific, versatile vegetable and one head of cabbage produces a generous quantity of whatever dish it becomes. But, tackling a cabbage head sometimes feels daunting – it’s a large, hard vegetable and rolls around easily. Conquer the cabbage by cutting it in half first, then carving out the hard core. Further tame it into perfect coleslaw shreds in one of four ways:

There are few things we love more than our own comfy bed. And though it’s a place where we spend a huge amount of time, very rarely do we give it much thought. Sure, we focus on things like silky soft sheets, sturdy mattresses that meet our comfort criteria and cool headboards, but there are some really interesting facts about this room in our home. Read on to find out our favorites.

• To be considered as a bedroom, your room must contain a bed • We spend more time in/on our bed than any other piece of furniture in our house • The first coiled spring mattress wasn’t invented until 1871 •A bout 43% of children from ages 3-4 have a television in their bedrooms • A person usually spends a third of their life sleeping • The amount of sleep we need depends on our age. Infants may need 14-15 hours, toddlers 12-14 hours, school-age children 10-11 hours, while adults may only need 7-9 hours • Many houses in America have at least two bedrooms – one for master bedroom and the other bedroom(s) for either the children or guests. •A bunk bed is a bed which its bed frame is stacked on top of another. The most common type of bunk bed is the one which has two mattresses (same size) stacked one directly over the other. A loft bed is a bed similar to a bunk bed but it has no lower bed, freeing floor space for other furniture. • Some studies tell us that bedroom air is polluted up to about 60% times or more in comparison to our living room which is about 30% more polluted than outside air.

It costs more than $6.4 million • The Chinese have a long tradition of bed slumber. In China, wooden beds were in use as early as 2,000 years ago (similar to those made in ancient Egypt). Even the four-poster bed is not unknown in China. At that time, Chinese beds were not very comfortable, with matting substituting for a mattress and their pillows were made from stone or wood, carved to fit the neck or head. • According to the principal of feng shui bedroom, our bed should not face directly in front of our door and having the foot of our bed in direct line with the door is called the “mortuary position”. • In the West, the history of the bed can be first found in ancient Egypt. Their beds look more like couches. Egyptians made no distinction between a night bed, or couch and day bed; the same item is used for both sleeping and lounging.

Yes, even teachers can be stylish!

With summer almost gone and school back in session soon, it is time to update your wardrobe. For a teacher, fashion not only means the expression of individuality, but also a statement of dignified style. But that doesn’t mean that you need to dress up in boring outfits! With some stylish pieces as a base for your back to school wardrobe, a teacher can be comfortable, look stylish and lead by example. Most wardrobe essentials are available on a budget and can be mixed and matched to create an abundant wardrobe. Here are some must-have pieces: CardigansSoft cardigans in print or plain colors add depth to any wardrobe. Pair it with a trouser or layer it over a dress. You can go bold with a loud print or keep it simple with single colors. DressesDresses can be used for a large part of the year. They can be used in the fall and winter by layering with a cardigan and boots. During the spring and summer, they look playful with cute and simple sandals. JeansWho says teachers can’t wear jeans to school? You need to pick up a trouser cut denim that goes really well with a button down shirt, blazer or cardigan. The chic bun or a ponytail and you are done! FlatsWhen you are in a classroom, there is a lot of walking around and standing on your feet for longer periods of time. A pair of comfortable flats come in handy in situations like those.

JewelryA lot of bling is not a good thing for a teacher. But she can still add sparkle in her outfits by adding simple yet sophisticated pieces of jewelry. Find pieces that are unique and understated, yet very unforgettable, worthy of an A+ Carry-all toteA teacher always has everything but the kitchen sink in her bag-rulers, pencils, rewards and treats for the high achievers—all sorts of items!

What is

Comfrey?

Contr i b u ted by yo u r fr i ends at N at u res Corner

Words are revealing, and when you look at this herb’s many names, you can see what practical uses people have made of it. The common name Comfrey stems from the Latin word conferta, meaning to unite. Its official botanical name is Symphytum officinale – Symphytum means to “make grow together” and officinale refers to a monastery storeroom for botanical remedies, the pharmacy of its day. Comfrey has had popular names such as: Knitback, Bruisewort, Knitbone, and Boneset. Comfrey is sometimes used on the skin to treat wounds and reduce inflammation from sprains and broken bones. Comfrey roots and leaves contain allantoin, a substance that helps new skin cells grow, along with other substances that reduce inflammation and keep skin healthy. Comfrey ointments have been used to heal bruises as well as pulled muscles and ligaments, fractures, sprains, strains, and osteoarthritis. In the past, comfrey was also used to treat stomach problems. However, it has toxic substances called pyrrolizidine alkaloids that damage the liver and can lead to death. Comfrey is no longer sold in the U.S., except in creams or ointments. The United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, and Germany also have banned the sale of oral products containing comfrey. The dangerous substances in comfrey are also absorbed through the skin, so harmful amounts may build up in the body. Be careful if you use an ointment containing comfrey and never use it on broken skin. Always consult with your physician prior to using any supplement or herb when treating medical conditions.

august 2014 | everythingwinnemucca.com

Some fun facts about Comfrey • Travelers in the Middle Ages carried comfrey as a talisman to protect them and used it in magic spells to attract money.

• Early American settlers carried precious comfrey seeds with them from Europe-only to discover the plant already growing in their new land.

• Comfrey roots have been used to dye clothes brown, to tan leather, and to spin Angora fleece.

• In the 1800s, Europeans planted comfrey to attract bees, birds and butterflies to gardens. It was also widely used as fodder to make animals strong and resilient.

• A healthy comfrey plant will live more than two decades. • Comfrey is richer in nitrogen and phosphorus than many commercial fertilizers. It is used by many organic gardeners to fertilize crops, to break down foods in compost heaps, and as mulch.

• Native Americans used comfrey leaves as pouches. When they folded a leaf, its small hairs stuck together like Velcro!

Buying selling a little information about Contingencies

Contributed by Janet Jacaway, Real Estate Agent for Vision

Buying and selling a home at the same time is a daunting task. Many factors play into a contingency, and the experience has nightmare potential. Your dream home may be more affordable, but unloading your current one may be harder. In a perfect world, you would coordinate the closings for both properties on the same day, providing a seamless transition from your old home to the new one. But the real world tends to be messier than that. While taking out another mortgage remains an option, shouldering two mortgages is harder now than it used to be. Not only is it harder to get approved for a second mortgage, but your home may take six or more months to sell.

For more help on buying or selling your home, give me a call. I am more than happy to help! I have access to all the listings in Winnemucca and can show you any propertyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;regardless of whose sign is in the yard. Come experience what it feels like to have a professional on your side! Reaching me is simple! By phone at 304-1414 or email janet@visionwestrealty.com

august 2014 | everythingwinnemucca.com

Here are some coping strategies to help ease the transition. If you sell your home first … The fear of selling your home before you've purchased a new one is obvious: You're homeless. But experts agree that this scenario is more attractive than the alternative, which is to buy a new home before your current one has sold. The advantage is that you have the cash to buy your new house. In the meantime, however, you might be considering moving into your moving boxes. Some better alternatives:

1. Rent your house In many short-term situations, the new homeowners will allow you to rent back your old home provided you cover their costs — particularly if you've already signed a contract to purchase another home. The process: Draw up a contract that includes a provision allowing you to stay put for a set period of time — say, 30 days. In exchange, you agree to pay the price of the new mortgage, property taxes, utilities and homeowners insurance. Keep in mind, this may be a whole lot more expensive than what you're used to. Assuming your home has appreciated nicely in value, the new owner's expenses are probably much higher than yours were.

2. Move in with loved ones If you need more than a month, you might need to move out of your old home and in with parents, a sibling or a friend. If that's not an option, consider a temporary apartment or the local Best Western.

If you buy your new home first … No one relishes the idea of owning two primary residences and doubling up on costs. In fact, it even makes the mortgage companies uneasy, which is why you'll need to qualify for both loans. If you don't qualify, you'll have to sell your old home first. Provided you can qualify, here are ways to help you come up with the down payment on the new home before you have the proceeds from the old one.

1. Tap your home equity The cheapest way to come up with a down payment for your new home is to borrow money via a home-equity line of credit. Depending on your credit score, your interest rate should be anywhere from half a point to one percentage point above the prime rate. Even better, the interest is tax-deductible up to $100,000. Once you sell the home, you simply pay off the loan.

2. Consider a bridge loan If you can't tap the equity in your home, you could take out a bridge loan, also known as gap financing. It allows you to borrow money for a down payment on the new home based on the amount of equity you have in your first house.

3. Borrow from your 401(k) If you need only a little bit of money for a down payment, or want to supplement a homeequity line of credit, you could borrow from your 401(k). Most employers allow workers to borrow either 50% of their vested balance or $50,000, whichever is less. You then have the next five to 10 years, depending on your company's rules, to repay the loan.

Sometimes in life we make excuses to not work out, not eat healthy, not get enough sleep, not go to the doctor… but why? Let’s rethink those excuses and focus on why we should care about health and our bodies. It’s not about having time, it’s about making time. You’re valued. Your loved ones adore you! No matter how many or few, near or far, they cherish you and need you around for a long time. You deserve health. You deserve to feel your best, to have energy, be happy and move easier. You truly deserve to live the incredible life you’ve been blessed with. You can. Health is about being better than you used to be. Your fitness is all

mental; your body won’t go where your mind doesn’t push it. So push yourself and you’ll be amazed at what you’ll achieve. You have time. One hour is roughly 4% of your day. So work smarter, not harder and get up early enough to take care of yourself each day for that jog, gym class or stroll around the park. It’s not about having time, it’s about making time. You’re in charge. There are many aspects of life that are far beyond our reach, out of our control. But the way you treat your body, the way you care for yourself, you can control that. “Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it.” – Charles R. Swindoll

Why Should You Care About Your Health?

august 2014 | everythingwinnemucca.com

You’re an example. So much about parenting, leading and living is about setting the example. If you want to inspire others to do good, be healthy and enjoy life, then go out there and do the same! You’ll enjoy it. It’s amazing how much feeling goes into your health. Taking care of you is the gift that keeps on giving. By eating right you’ll feel great, by sleeping enough you’ll feel energetic and through exercise you’ll feel empowered and happy. In the end, we’re all blessed. Don’t take for granted the opportunity you have to live the most incredible life. We’re here to remind you of this because we value you, we know you deserve it, we know you can and we know your best life is just around the corner!

Aqua

Yoga

Aqua Yoga? Why in the world would someone want to practice yoga in the water? There are actually many benefits to an aquatic yoga practice. In fact, the same benefits which are included in a regular ‘yoga on the mat practice’ are included in a water practice. Yoga improves overall physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health both in the water and on the mat.

Let’s begin with the breath. We have learned from both Western and Eastern medicine that proper breathing techniques can have a positive effect on our physical, mental and emotional health and well-being. In yoga we learn to expand (the belly goes out) on the inhale and contract (the belly comes in) on the exhale. This is called diaphragmatic breathing. We use the diaphragm as our main respiratory muscle. Improper breathing can actually cause pain in the muscles which are not designed to assist in normal breathing. These include lower back, neck, pectoral and jaw muscles. A yoga practice focuses on deep breathing, which encourages relaxation of mind, body and spirit. It also uses proper diaphragmatic breathing, which focuses on using only the muscles designed for regular breathing. Thus there is a greater opportunity to keep our secondary breathing muscles healthy and pain free. A breathing practice in the pool actually gives us an additional benefit. The water acts as a natural resistance to our muscles while breathing. The abdominals must work harder, thereby getting an additional workout as the diaphragm becomes stronger in the process for the same reason. Water is a wonderful support for joints and muscles. Therefore an aquatic yoga practice places less stress on the muscles and joints. The water’s buoyancy may create a situation where a person can do poses in the water that they are unable to do on the mat. The resistance of the water also helps to create more strength than on the mat in some poses.

There is a wonderful atmosphere of playfulness that naturally occurs as we learn to maneuver in the water. It’s just plain fun to move in and out of poses with the added element of water to our practice. Laughter releases our body’s chemicals that support a positive outlook on life, as well as giving us a sense of community that we get from group play. Here are a few poses to do in the water. Each of these is designed to increase strength, flexibility, relaxation and stamina. I invite you to try them out for yourselves if you are familiar with yoga. If not, it’s best to consult a trained yoga instructor before attempting them. Proper alignment and breathing techniques will prevent injury.

The Mountan Pose (Tadasana): Begin by standing up in the pool, feet hip width apart. Find your connection to the earth as you push gently down through your tailbone and feet. Engage the muscles in your legs by hugging your thigh bones and pelvis with those muscles. Stand firm, yet not ridged as you lift up through your spine, all the way to the base of the skull. Roll your shoulders back and drop the scapula down towards your waist. Arms are gently dropped to each side, palms open. Chin is parallel to the water. Take 5 to 10 deep breaths from the diaphragm (as described in the second paragraph). Call in your energy and simply feel how you are in your body.

Sidebend: From here you can lift your arms overhead and bend to each side, being careful to bend at the waist directly over your hip. Keep your legs strong, as in Tadasana. Do not drop your chin forward, but keep your head back and in alignment with your spine.

Some research supports the idea that a higher percentage of range of motion is gained by doing appropriate exercises in the water rather than on land. Poses may be held longer with the additional support of the water. Therefore greater flexibility may be gained in the water. Water has a naturally soothing effect on people. It’s both nurturing and inviting. Since relaxation is key in reducing our reaction to the stressors in our lives, water yoga improves our ability to reduce the negative effect of stress.

Leg Stretch:

Backbend:

Walk to the side of the pool and facing that side, lift one leg up in front of you and press your foot onto the side with both legs straight. Stand up tall and then, from your hip joints, gently bend forward and lean towards your lifted leg. Reach your arms out to hold your leg. Take 5 to 10 breaths, gently moving deeper into the pose as your breathe. Repeat with other leg.

Turn around facing away from the wall of the pool. Bend your knees and lean your head back on the edge of the pool. Grab the side of the pool with a hand on either side of your face. Now press into your feet and attempt to straighten out your arms. Expand your chest upward as you arch back, looking towards the sky. Take 5 to 10 deep breaths in the pose, and relax.

Knee to Chest (Apanasana):

Savasana:

Standing upright as in Tadasana, bend one knee and bring your bent leg up as high as your can towards your chest. Place both hands around the bent knee and squeeze your leg towards your torso. If you are able to do so, place your hands under your heel and lift your bent leg up and in towards your chest at the same time. Be sure to keep the spine upright. Do not bend towards the bent leg, bring the leg to you. Take 5 to 10 deep breaths and repeat on the other side.

If you can float on your back with no assistance, do so as you relax all your muscles. Place a noodle under your feet and shoulders if necessary and completely relax. Let the water rock you gently. Keep your focus on your breath and your body. If your mind takes you into story or drama, simply come back to your focus and breathe. Relax in this pose for about 5 minutes, giving your body, mind and spirit a chance to integrate your asana practice.

Forward Fold (Uttanasana): Face the side of the pool and bring both legs up over the edge of the pool between your hands, which are holding onto the side of the pool. Now slowly straighten both legs up in the air. As you do so, pull your torso towards those legs with your arms. Keep your spine long as your bend through the hip joints. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to encourage a rounded upper back. Take 5 to 10 breaths in this pose. Lengthen on your inhale and move closer towards your legs on your exhale.

Abdominal Strengthener: From the Forward Fold, simply bend your knees over the side of the pools edge. Bring your hands behind your head and relax your elbows back. On the inhale lengthen your spine back on the water and gaze upward. As your exhale contract the abdominal muscles and bring your torso towards your bent legs. Be sure to keep the elbows dropped back and relaxed. This will engage your core muscles, rather than your arms, face and shoulders. Repeat 5 to 10 times.

I hope you find the information in this article beneficial. You can adapt any stretches that you are familiar with to the water if you remember to stay within your unique abilities and strengths. I tell my students to come to their edge in any asana practice, but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cross it until your body does so without struggle. Consult your physician before beginning any exercise program. My ongoing yoga classes are Tues. and Thurs. at 9 am. If you would like more information on my yoga classes, or you would like to experience a private stress management, hypnotherapy, or reiki session, please call me at 775 623-0922.

When school resumes in August, educators, parents, and students will strive to improve reading levels. According to the Common Core Curriculum, “Students will be challenged and asked questions that push them to refer back to what they’ve read.” Yet, according to Ida Chung, OD, FCOVD, and President of the College of Optometrists in Vision Development (COVD),“students who have eye coordination and eye movement problems struggle to read and have trouble remembering what they read which will make this task nearly impossible. That’s why we observe August as International Children’s Vision and Learning Month , to help educate the public on this vital issue.” Getting to the root of a child’s reading struggles can be difficult. Parents typically see multiple experts often starting with the basics, which includes an eye exam.

It makes it tough for parents when they suspect that their child has a vision problem yet the experts say nothing is wrong. For example, Jeremy Doernemann was a good student and got good grades; his problem was he couldn’t get anything done in school. His mother, Donna, explains, “First and Second grade were not as bad as Third and Fourth Grade. That is when he really struggled. I dreaded coming home from work, because I knew the 'Homework Hell' would begin… I asked the Pediatric Ophthalmologist several times if Jeremy’s struggles at school were related to his eye problems. He said ‘absolutely not.’ He said it had nothing to do with his ability to learn and concentrate. I didn’t agree with him but I did not know what to do and who to turn to.” Jill Anderson ran into a similar situation. Her daughter Morgan avoided reading and struggled with reading

comprehension.In an effort to find out why her daughter struggled, Mrs. Anderson states, “I took Jill to a general eye doctor who told us her vision was fine and she didn’t need any help.” Fortunately for both Jeremy and Morgan, their parents found out about optometric vision therapy and now they no longer struggle with reading and schoolwork. Mrs. Doernemann shares, “Vision Therapy changed my son’s life. There are no more tears! Jeremy is able to work faster on homework with better concentration. I no longer hear him say, ‘I CAN’T DO IT!’” Nine months of tutoring at a prominent learning center and Morgan had no major improvements. After doing optometric vision therapy, her mother proudly states, “Reading is much easier for her. Morgan’s grades have improved and her confidence has greatly improved.”

Taben Randall was one year behind in math and writing. Taben was very fortunate that the school nurse actually discovered that his right eye did not track smoothly. His teacher had heard of vision therapy and provided some contacts for his parents to pursue. Taben’s father, Timothy Randall, is pleased to report that testing, on the Woodcock Johnson III test, before and after vision therapy shows that over the course of only 18 months, “Reading gained 4 grade equivalents, Math gained 3 grade equivalents, and Writing gained 3 grade equivalents." “It is our hope that this year’s observance of International Children’s Vision and Learning month brings greater awareness of the visual link to reading and learning . A lot of children and their families are struggling unnecessarily,” states Dr. Chung; “When a vision problem is at the root of a child’s difficulties with reading, optometric vision therapy can make all the difference.”
