2nd Annual

Festival of Trees

Fairgrounds Exhibit Hall The Winnemucca Host Lions Club

This is a great way to begin the Christmas Season. Santa and Mrs. Claus will be in house and pictures will be available on site, the Humboldt Sun will be doing their Christmas Coloring Contest, and we are told that the elves may have a surprise available for the children. Naturally, where there is Santa, there will be Christmas Cookies. There will also be a mailbox where children can place their letters to Santa, Mrs. Claus (her letters are answered and published in the Humboldt Sun) or their dog, Tanzee (whose letters and responses are published in Everything Winnemucca Magazine).

The star of the show, however, must be the trees. Businesses, non-profits, schools, youth groups, churches and families donate decorated (artificial) trees, table top trees, wreathes and gingerbread houses for display and auction to the public.

Of course our panel of judges will award ribbons to their favorites, but it is even more fun for you to bid on and win your own favorite entry! As well as being beautiful, the proceeds from the auction of these entries will provide our local Lions Club with funds (100% stays in our community) for their programs such as their Life Line program which makes it possible for area seniors and those with disabilities to stay in their homes and retain their independence or the Vision Program that pays for eye exams, glasses and even surgeries for those in our community unable to afford this essential service. The Winnemucca Host Lions Club also provides scholarships for those going into the trades, supports Canine Companion Services, provides a speech contest which encourages our youth to learn and use their public speaking skills. The Lions Club also sends sight, hearing impaired and economically disadvantaged youth to summer camp as well as collaborating with Humboldt General Hospital to host the annual Health Fair making essential lifesaving tests available at a reduced cost and providing the community a family oriented 4th of July in the Park along with a host of other community service work.

There will be something special each evening. On Friday evening at 7 pm, the lights will be turned down low and we will have the tree lighting. For those of you that have not experienced this, it is a breathtaking moment. On Saturday at 7 pm, we will have a bidder’s reception with adult beverages and snacks. The silent auction for the trees, wreathes, and gingerbread houses will be ongoing throughout the entire event, ending at 4 pm on Sunday with the announcement of this year’s auction winners. Winners will be required to pay for and pick up their Trees, Wreathes and Gingerbread Houses between 4 and 5 pm on Sunday.

The Winnemucca Host Lions Club cannot express the depth of their gratitude for everyone’s support of this event.

The door entry fee to the Festival of Trees is a suggested donation of $3.00 and each evening a different charity will be taking 100% of the door fee to support their work in our community.

Entry Registration forms need to be submitted to the Lions Club by November 10th. If you are interested in entering a tree, wreath or gingerbread house to the Festival of Trees or would like more information about the Festival of Trees or how to become a Lion, please email Mrs. Claus at askmrsclaus@gmail.com (she has a hot line directly to the Lions Club) or call Patricia at 623-6802, Susan at 240-6980 or Tracy at 304-7089.

RECIPE NOTES

maple balsamic but ter rub

The Thanksgiving turkey has a reputation for being a big deal to make. It is big, but it couldn’t be easier to roast a fabulously tasting bird. This recipe builds flavor in layers with a delicious rub and pan juices infused with aromatic fruits and vegetables. The results is a moist golden bird with plenty of fall flavors infused throughout. No dullness or dryness found here!

stuffed into the birds cavity should be loosely placed, not packed. Allow the heat to circulate and cook from the inside out as well as from the outside in. A tightly packed cavity may lead to uneven cooking and elongated cooking times that lead to dryness.

Once removed from the oven, allow the turkey to rest for about 20 minutes before cutting and serving. Don’t worry, it will stay hot as you finish last minute preparations.

With the tip of the carving knife, cut through the joint to separate the leg from the thigh.

5

Remove the wind by cutting the skin between the wing and the breast.

Pushing down on the wing with the fork, cut through the “shoulder” joint with the tip of the carving knife.

On a cutting board, slice the turkey breast at a slight angle into quarter-inch thick slices.

First, remove the legs. With a sharp carving knife, cut between the breast and leg; bend the thigh away from the bird, cut through the hip joint with the tip of the carving knife.

Slice the leg meat from the bone from the “ankle” end to the larger end. Turn the leg and continue slicing away the leg meat.

Remove the meat from the upper portion of the wing. Save the lower two wing parts for soup making.

Continue slicing the breast portion until complete; repeat with the other breast half.

Remove the entire breast meat portion by cutting down just to one side of the central breastbone. Cut horizontally at the base until the breast meat is freed.

Serve the platter of sliced turkey with dark meat at one end, and the sliced white breast meat at the other end.

TOP turkey Tips

a l l o w p l e n t y o f t i m e for a frozen turkey to defrost. Defrost it in the refrigerator – this may take a few days, so plan accordingly.

Never place a frozen or partially frozen bird in the oven for roasting. c h e c k b o t h c a v i t i e s o f t h e b i r d for any giblets and neck bones – save these parts for giblet gravy or for making turkey stock. cover the turkey with a foil tent

for the initial hours of roasting to prevent overbrowning. Remove during the last hour of roasting. If the skin is browned, but the turkey is not done, replace the foil tent.

Roast Turkey

with Maple Balsamic Butter Rub

The key to seasoning the turkey with this butter rub is to blot the bird dry, which enables the rub to adhere to the skin. You can also stuff the turkey, but it takes about an hour longer to cook. An instant-read thermometer is a must for ensuring a perfectly cooked bird. Remember that the internal temperature will increase by a few degrees once the turkey is removed from the oven.

to gauge the doneness of the turkey.

Placed between the thigh and breast, the thickest part of the bird, the temperature should read 170F. Don’t rely on time estimates, or pop-up buttons. With a thermometer, the turkey will not be undercooked, nor overcooked and dry. t r u s s t h e t u r k e y by tying the legs together.

Consider baking the stuffing separately from the turkey. If you do choose to stuff the bird, insert the mixture loosely to allow some air circulation; do not pack the stuffing in place. hour

1 . Remove the turkey from the refrigerator 1 hour before roasting.

2. M ake the rub: In a small bowl, stir together all of the ingredients until well blended. Taste and adjust the seasonings.

3 . Preheat the oven to 425°F. Place the turkey on a piece of aluminum foil on the counter. Starting around the main body cavity, carefully slip your fingers under the skin and loosen the skin, being careful not to break the skin. (You may need to wear rubber gloves if you have long fingernails.) Pat the rub under the skin and then pat it all over the bird on top of the skin. (If some of the rub falls off, that is okay; it will flavor the gravy.)

4 . P lace the orange and onion slices in the cavity. Insert a wooden skewer through the thighs to hold the drumsticks together. Place the chopped onions and the carrots on the bottom of a large roasting pan. Pour the 2 cups of stock over the vegetables. Set a nonstick roasting rack in the roasting pan and place the turkey breast-side up on the rack.

5 . R oast in the center of the oven for 20 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F and roast, basting about every 45 minutes with the pan juices, until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a thigh away from the bone registers 170°F and the juices run clear. You may need to add more stock if the pan becomes too dry. If the bird becomes too dark, tent a piece of aluminum foil on top. A 16-pound turkey should take about 4 hours. Be sure to check the temperature at 30-minutes intervals as the finish time approaches.

6 . Transfer the turkey to a large platter or carving board. Let rest for at least 20 minutes before carving. Discard the vegetables.

R E C O M M E N D E D W I N E : The underrated Riesling is magic with the sweet and savory tastes in this turkey recipe.

Lighter reds, such as Beaujolais Nouveau, Grenache, Pinot Noir, and Côtes du Rhône are also excellent choices.

S er i ously S i mple S eason i ng S alt M akes 3 . 5 cups This magical seasoning will elevate the flavor of just about anything you cook. I have made a version of this recipe for years and, over time, I have simplified the method by using a food processor. To make this even more quickly, you can purchase already peeled garlic cloves.

INGREDIENTS : 30 peeled garlic cloves, ends cut off 2 cups kosher salt 1 tablespoon onion powder 2 tablespoons paprika 3 tablespoons good-quality chili powder 2 tablespoons ground white pepper 2 tablespoons celery seed 1 tablespoon ground ginger 1 tablespoon poultry seasoning 1 tablespoon dry mustard 1 tablespoon dried dill weed

{stuffing} s a u s a g e ,

dried fruit

&

nut

A great turkey needs a good stuffing to stand beside it. This version is the one we’ll be serving on Thanksgiving day. It has the perfect mix of tastes and textures – tart apricots, crunchy pecans, sweet raisins, toothy bread, savory onions and celery.

The collage of flavors is slightly different with each bite, not too soggy, and with just the right amount of herbs.

RECIPE NOTES t h e g e n i u s o f t h i s r e c i p e is that it makes use of trail mix.

Trail mix provides a wide variety of dried fruits and nuts in one package – no need to buy large quantities of separate fruits and nuts. (Choose a mix without chocolate pieces, or take them out of the mix and enjoy as the cook’s bonus). t h e f r e s h h e r b s , p a r s l e y , s a g e a n d t h y m e , are

a delicious and essential part of this recipe. If using dried herbs, use about one-third the quantity – dried herbs have more concentrated flavors than fresh herbs. w h i l e t h e r e c i p e c a l l s f o r chicken-apple sausage, we used hot Italian sausage. The results were positively delicious and added a spicy little kick to the dish.

t h i s r e c i p e m a k e s a g r e at m a i n d i s h for an evening

meal all on its own. Go ahead, do a test run before Thanksgiving, then keep the recipe handy all year long. Use the mixture to stuff squash and peppers, or to roll up in chard or cabbage leaves.

Do-Ahead Steps s e v e r a l d ay s a h e a d :

Seriously Simple Holidays

by Diane Rossen Worthington.

Published by Chronicle Books, San Francisco, CA. Copyright 2007.

Holiday dinners are great times to bring the tribe of family and friends together, but they can be stressful in the planning and cooking stages. This cookbook offers several simplified paths for enjoying many different holidays with a flair for flavor. The cooking tasks are divided into doable pieces by working ahead. You’ll find great menu suggestions and recipes for main dishes, sides, appetizers, and sweet endings that fit together very well and are easily adaptable to many celebratory occasions.

Local Author My name is Stacey Arvans. I was born in Reno, Nevada and have lived in Winnemucca ever since. When I am not writing and proof-reading my books, I like to spend time with my family and I enjoy traveling.

I have recently published my first book, Boyfriend. It is part of a series of young adult novels called Best Frenemies Novels. My second book, Best Frenemies, is also out now!

With these books, I tried to design a character that is lost trying to find her way through her teen years. Ash Lynn goes through a lot of the same struggles as every girl does. Sometimes she makes good choices and sometimes not so good choices-- but that is all a part of growing up.

Anyone that enjoys young adult books, this is a perfect edition to your bookcase or digital bookshelf. Best Frenemies is available in paperback, digital and audio editions. Check out all of my novels on Amazon or on my website!

In a recent survey, conducted by an independent contractor, Turkeys from throughout the country were asked which wine they would choose to accompany them to Traditional Thanksgiving feasts. The overwhelming response was Chateau Ste. Michelle Riesling.

Chateau Ste. Michelle Riesling is a blend of the finest Columbia Valley Riesling grapes from Washington State. They are harvested in October and, by the winery standards, are categorized as a “medium-dry� Riesling. Subtle hints of peach and lime make this wine a versatile choice for many different pairings. It is an especially delicious compliment to grilled King Salmon, sun-dried tomato basil feta, asparagus, or teriyaki chicken.

When given the opportunity to share their thoughts on the quality of the wine, the turkeys appeared too stuffed to comment - so our best advice is to try it for yourself!

How can thousands of Turkeys be wrong about Thanksgiving dinner suggestions!

There's no doubt about it! I love the fall. The slight nip in the air, the trees around town changing colors, flannel sheets and what else…. comfort food. As this month arrives, so does the kick-off of the holiday season. So much to do, so little time. This is the time of year you wish you had two or three clones, just to keep up with the demands of the season. You need meals that will satisfy and reward you for playing hard, yet can be made ahead and enjoyed later on in the week or weekend. I have just the dish for you. Butternut Squash Lasagna. Made with roasted squash, 3 kinds of cheeses and a whipped cream topping, yes that's right, whipped cream. This will no doubt fill up any hungry family.

You can make this ahead, and when you are ready just pop in the oven while you enjoy that well deserved glass of wine. Add a tossed salad or better yet get a salad kit and voila, you have yourself one tasty dinner.

And a chance to slow down and enjoy yourself and your family.

On another note, I would like to thank all who contributed to my “Cookies for Troops” campaign. As of this writing I have 25 dozen cookies heading to Afghanistan to a Med-Vac team. If you know someone overseas or stateside and want to send them some goodies, give me a call. And last but not least, some really fun news. I was made the official cookie of the Risky Biscuit Hayseed Hoot radio show! It airs on KUNR on Saturdays 11-1pm. Thanks Dondo!!

Butternut Squash Lasagna Serves 6

3 lbs. Butternut squash 3 T. vegetable oil Salt to taste 4 cups milk 2 T. dried rosemary leaves, crumbled 1 T. minced garlic ¼ cup butter ¼ cup flour Pepper to taste 9 uncooked lasagna noodles 8 oz. Fontina cheese, shredded 11/2 cups grated Parmesan cheese ½ cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded 1 cup whipping cream ½ t. salt Garnish with rosemary leaves Procedures Cut the squash into quarters, discarding the seeds. Peel the squash and cut into ¼ inch pieces. Toss with the oil. Spread in a single layer in 2 oiled shallow roasting pans. Roast at 450 degrees for 10 minutes. Sprinkle with salt to taste and roast for 10-15 minutes longer or until tender and light golden brown. Let cool and cut into bite size pieces. Be sure to set some of the pieces aside.

Combine the milk with rosemary in a sauce pan. Simmer for 10 minutes. Strain through a sieve into a pitcher and reserve.

Sauté the garlic in the butter in a heavy large saucepan over medium low heat until tender. Stir in the flour. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring constantly.

Remove from the heat and whisk in the milk. Simmer 10 minutes or until thickened, whisking constantly.

Stir in the squash and salt and pepper to taste.

Start by putting a little of the sauce on the bottom of the pan. Place 3 of the lasagna sheets across, top with cheese and a few of the reserved squash, repeat, sauce, noodles, cheese and squash.

Whip the cream into soft peaks, add the salt. Spread the mixture over the top of the lasagna and tent with Tin foil. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. Cool, cut and garnish with rosemary leaves, Enjoy.

Rome Contributed by Pat and Pam of Just Right Cruises 623-9074

Size isn’t everything: Europe is just one quarter the size of Asia, one third the size of Africa, but its pull for travelers is unmatched around the world. Europe itself offers a lifetime of travel, it would take years of travel to see all of the rich history of Europe. There are two great ways to see Europe and being a traveler it is nice to know there are ways to help you see Europe. We will look into some of these options and some of the many places to visit.

Let's start by naming some of the places to visit in Europe Italy, Spain, Holland, Ireland, Britain, and many more. Europe has so much to offer that we will have to cover it over a number of issues in this awesome publication.

In this issue of Everything Winnemucca we are going to begin in Rome, Italy.

Rome is without a doubt, one the most beautiful cities in the world; every year millions of tourists come from around the world to admire the treasures and masterpieces of Roman art and architecture.

Because Rome is such a huge tourist draw, choose the date for your trip carefully. The best time of the year to visit is April, May, and late September through October. In the depths of summer, the heat and the crowds make the city nearly unbearable. August in particular, should be avoided because this is the month that the entire country of Italy seems to go on vacation. Traveling too late or too early in the year can also be risky because the opening hours for many attractions are shorter, and some are closed completely.

What's in Rome?

Where do we start - how about checking out the Pantheon or the Colosseo (Colosseum) or maybe St Peter's (Basilica di San Pietro). As I mentioned, Rome is rich in history, so I will share a little history on the above mentioned.

november 2013 | everythingwinnemucca.com

30

The Pantheon

Starting with The Pantheon, it is the best-preserved ancient building in Rome. It was built (and possibly designed) by Hadrian in AD 119-128 as a temple to the 12 most important classical deities; the inscription on the pediment records an earlier Pantheon built a hundred years earlier by Augustus' general Marcus Agrippa (which confused historians for centuries). Its fine state of preservation is due to the building's conversion to a Christian church in 608, when it was presented to the pope by the Byzantine Emperor Phocas.

The Pantheon has nevertheless, suffered over the years notably when bronze cladding was stripped from the roof in 667, and when Pope Urban VIII allowed Bernini to remove the remaining bronze from the beams in the portico to melt down for his baldacchino in St Peter's in 1628. The simplicity of the building's exterior remains largely unchanged, and it retains its original Roman bronze doors. Inside, the Pantheon's real glory lies in the dimensions, which follow the rules set down by top Roman architect Vitruvius.

The Colosseum

Now moving on to the Colosseo (Colosseum) - Vespasian began building the Colosseum - which has hosted gory battles between combinations of gladiators, slaves, prisoners and wild animals of all descriptions - in AD 72 on the site of a newly drained lake in the grounds of Nero's Domus Aurea.

Restoration carried out in 2001 opened up much larger areas of the arena to the public, including a reconstructed section of the sand-covered wood floor that allows visitors to walk across a platform and look down into the elevator shafts through which animals emerged, via trapdoors, into the arena. The top rows of the Colosseum are the best vantage point from which to appreciate the massive scale of the building.

Properly called the Amphitheatrum Flavium (Flavian amphitheatre), the building was later known as the Colosseum not because it was big, but because of a gold-plated colossal statue, now lost, that stood alongside. The arena was about 500 metres (a third of a mile) in circumference, could seat over 50,000 people - some scholars estimate capacity crowds numbered as many as 87,000 - and could be filled or emptied in ten minutes through a network of vomitoria (exits) that remains the basic model for stadium design today.

31

november 2013 | everythingwinnemucca.com

Now we will wrap it up with this little bit of history with St Peter's (Basilica di San Pietro). After 120 years as a building site, the current St Peter's was consecrated on 18 November 1626 by Urban VIII - exactly 1,300 years after the consecration of the first basilica on the site. The earlier building was a fiveaisled classical basilica, fronted by a large courtyard and four porticoes. Enlarged and enriched, it became the finest church in Christendom. By the mid 15th century, however, its south wall was collapsing. Pope Nicholas V had 2,500 wagonloads of masonry from the Colosseum carted across the Tiber, just for running repairs. No one wanted to take responsibility for demolishing Christianity's most sacred church. It took the arrogance of Pope Julius II and his pet architect Donato Bramante to get things moving. In 1506 some 2,500 workers tore down the 1,000-year-old basilica, and Julius laid the foundation stone for its replacement.

Following Bramante's death in 1514, Raphael took over the work and scrapped his predecessor's design for a basilica with a Greek-cross plan, opting for an elongated Latin cross. In 1547 Michelangelo took command and reverted to a Greek cross. He died in 1564, aged 87, but not before coming up with a plan for a massive dome and supporting drum. This was completed in 1590, the largest brick dome ever constructed, and still the tallest point of any building in Rome. In 1607 Carlo Maderno won the consent of Pope Paul V to demolish the remaining fragments of the old basilica and put up a new faรงade, crowned by enormous statues of Christ and the apostles.

There is a lot of history in Europe and there are a few ways to visit. First, you need to decide where you want to visit. Europe may be small in size, but it is packed full of things to do and see.

You can plan a trip to Europe by cruising from American ports like Ft. Lauderdale, Florida; Galveston, Texas; or Brooklyn, New York. Or you can fly to places like London, England and begin your adventure there. You can fly to many port areas in Europe and take a cruise of planned port stops. Check with your travel service on port locations and availability.

There are either guided or self-guided travel packages available. We would recommend a self-guided tour only for those experienced travelers. Other than having a basic layout of your travel plans and hotel stays you are pretty much on your own. We recommend a cruise or guided vacation package for most travelers. It is so much more enjoyable when 99% of the work is done for you. The remaining 1% is you packing your bags and getting to the starting location.

St. Peter's Basilica

Travel can be overwhelming, this is why you should always consider using a travel professional. You want your vacation to be worry free, and now you have someone there to help you with your plans and to make sure you are going to have a great time.

BIG STAR USA has a very interesting and unique story. The company originated out of Basle, Switzerland in 1971 from the vision of the Faeh brothers. The brothers were working as two struggling part time taxi drivers. By a stroke of luck, a customer needed to go to Paris. Once in Paris one of the Faeh brothers visited a local flea market and promptly invested his recently earned taxi fare in some patchwork jeans. Bringing several pairs back to Basle, these jeans soon became a hit, turning BIG STAR into Switzerland's first-ever homegrown jeans brand. The fashion trend in those days was for out-of -the ordinary jeans especially created for the true individualist.

BIG STAR was sewn and washed in the brother's own one bedroom apartment. Today, more than thirty years later, they have a presence in 33 countries around the world. In 2003 BIG STAR USA was re-launched by a quality manufacturer and produced in the USA. BIG STAR is for consumers who desire a premium denim jean, outstanding fit and superior quality for realistic prices. Today, many of the design aesthetics remain similar to its original roots inspired by western and vintage American themes, with updated modern and contemporary touches that appeal to a broad consumer base. BIG STAR jeans are designed and marketed for men and women. Currently, the BIG STAR brand is successfully transcending many age groups, appealing to young consumers as well as the soccer Mom and Dad. By creating specialized fits for different lifestyles and age groups, the BIG STAR brand has successfully been recognized as a truly affordable premium denim jean.

Kateri's Karma carries not only a variety of BIG STAR jeans, but also denim jackets, dresses, skirts, shorts and knit tops.

Come into Kateri's Karma today and find your perfect pair of BIG STAR jeans!

Tablescaping Welcome Home to Winnemucca for a Day of Thanks .... here in the Vintage Lotus we love to share our DIY of the month.

With Thanksgiving approaching we thought you might enjoy "tablescaping" for this yummy holiday ... and please try this at home. Begin by collecting table decor and dishes that are your favorites. Keep in mind that you can use patterns with the same monochromatic color scheme (different hues of the same color) or you can use complimentary colors from a color wheel.

Remember that different heights of items make your table very interesting.

The center items usually don't want to be above eye level so that you can visit with family and friends across the table.

Choose a theme for your table ... color, texture, shape, vintage, modern, or a mix of old and new. Remember to have fun!! For the clever approach you can design humorous quotes or names for your guests to be placed throughout the table or write out a story starter for

each guest and let their creative mind and sense of humor take it from there.

Here at the Vintage Lotus we look for the humorous, repurposed, vintage or colorful approach ..... the more fun you have at a gathering the more memorable it seems to be.

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at The Vintage Lotus

Carne Asada In Mexican cuisine, carne asada (literally “grilled meat”) is made from thin marinated beef steak. The meat is marinated by rubbing with salt and pepper or spice rubs before being cooked on a grill. It is usually cooked with a certain amount of searing, to impart a heavily barbecued flavor.

The meat can be served alone or chopped and used in tacos, burritos or quesadillas. Carne asada can also be topped with homemade salsas.

This dish is commonly prepared in the northern and western parts of Mexico. When describing an event in Mexico and the American Southwest, the phrase “carne asada” is the equivalent of describing the social barbeque.

Each day that Miguel and his family light the coals on their barbeque, it is indeed a social event! The delicious aromas fill the air and bring hungry folks in for a great meal! Miguel and his team pride themselves in providing a fast and friendly meal for you—they know you are busy and appreciate the opportunity to put a smile on your face for lunch or dinner.

Each Monday and Friday, they are serving up “Carne Asada” tacos and fries. If you haven’t ever tried carne asada before, this is the way to eat it! The tacos—Carne asada is served up on a fresh corn tortilla, warm and perfectly cooked, topped with our homemade salsas and cilantro.

The fries—start with locally grown potatoes, cut into fries and cooked to a golden perfection. The fries are topped with warm off-the-grill carne asada meat, smothered in melted cheese and topped with our specialty in-house guacamole, sour cream and Pico de Gallo. Yum!

Hoofts Pride in carrying on the tradition of a hometown bakery is shared

by Miguel and his family, who grew up in this great community and remembers visiting Hoofts Bakery on Bridge Street. As soon as you walked in, you were greeted with the fresh aroma of baked bread and lusciously sweet cakes, doughnuts and other fine pastries.

Several years later, Winnemucca doesn’t have a place to pick up a dozen of fresh baked doughnuts for that company meeting. Or sit around your family’s dining table on the weekends and enjoy that doughy goodness in your pajamas while sipping some hot cocoa.

Now that has changed. Thinking back to those old memories, Miguel and his crew got to work on re-creating that “old fashioned--hometown” bakery.

By 3 a.m., they are hard at work baking all the goodies for us to enjoy.

The glass cases of the Tortilla Factory are stocked with ever-popular treats such as Mexican pastries, cake doughnuts with a variety of toppings, and of course, long bars coated in chocolate and sweet maple. All of these delicious treats are baked fresh daily.

The doughnuts are available by the individual piece, by the dozen or by the large custom order for parties, school functions and bake sales. With the holidays just around the corner, it is the perfect time to enjoy life…. one glazed-sugary-candy topped doughnut at a time! november 2013 | everythingwinnemucca.com

T he R i g ht K i nd o f Pai n L isten to your body !

Contributed by Dr. Todd Wendell of Ruby Mountain Chiropractic Center

How often have you heard the expression, “No pain, no gain”? It can apply to many life situations, including exercise to shape up, tone or drop weight.

But when pain is severe or prolonged, you gain nothing and stand to lose a lot!

There are a number of tips to help you stay safe to avoid workout injuries. Some of them include:

•W arming up – Warm muscles are far less likely to tear than cold ones. So, if you’re going out for a run, walk a bit first, then trot before you go into full running mode.

Stretching your muscles, especially the ones you’re going to be using, also helps you to avoid injury.

• L istening to your body – Don’t continue your

• C ooling down – The same is true when you end an exercise session. You can’t just automatically stop when you are finished with your workout because this may cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure. Using running as an example- slow down to a walk again before you just stop your exercise. It’s also important to stretch out those muscles again.

• M aking sure you ’ re wearing the right shoes

• S taying hydrated – Water, water, water! Drinking water before, during and after a workout replaces fluids lost from sweating and exertion, especially important in warm or hot weather.

• T aking it easy – You can’t expect to run a marathon your first day out. Start slowly and build in terms of time spent and exertion level for your workouts. For example, if you’re engaging in weight training, you don’t want to start with the heaviest weights; you want to start small and gradually increase weight levels.

workout if suddenly you find yourself in pain. Your body is trying to tell you something. Ignoring it can only make it worse, so stop whatever you’re doing and give your body a few days to recover before starting up again. for the e x ercise – This is really important to reduce the impact of the exercise on your body, particularly your ankles, shins, calves, knees and other joints.

• L earning the proper technique for the workout – Make sure you know the proper technique for any new workout routine you are attempting for the first time. Correct technique is as important as warming up to avoid injury.

The decision to exercise is an important one for your overall health – as important as diet/nutrition and regular chiropractic care – to keep your nervous system fit and healthy. Just remember to start out slowly, don’t overdo it and stop if you feel any type of pain, in order to avoid serious injury. And…if you do experience any pain, be sure to let us know. november 2013 | everythingwinnemucca.com

A Yoga Experience

A Yoga Experience Contributed by Rae Edwards, Yoga Therapist

"I would love to take one of your yoga classes, but I am not flexible."

"I don't have time to exercise."

“I’m embarrassed about being overweight and out of shape. People would laugh at me.”

“Yoga is against my religion.”

49

november 2013 | everythingwinnemucca.com

Do any of these excuses strike a chord with you or with someone you know? They are typical comments from folks just like you and me, who have talked themselves out of doing something extremely healthy for themselves. I have used a couple of them myself over the years. The practice of yoga speaks to me, but that doesn’t mean it is for everyone. So when I speak of physical movement, I do not limit it to a yoga practice. I also love to ride my bike, swim, walk, dance, garden and laugh.

Simply put, it is so important for human beings to move our bodies in a variety of ways in order to stay healthy. Medical science is preaching that a sedentary life style is an unhealthy life style. Our mental health professionals more and more are encouraging people to get out and exercise to improve mental health, especially symptoms of depression and anxiety.

If the word ‘exercise’ brings up memories of tedious, exhausting, boring, grueling workout, then change ‘exercise’ to ‘movement’. I want you to know that every time you walk instead of ride, take the stairs instead of the elevator, bend down to pick something up rather than ask your 3 yr. old to fetch things for you, or take an extra lap or two around the grocery store when shopping, you are exercising. Your body is in motion. Movement is exercise. Most of our movements are mindless. Movement with a conscious awareness of our body, mind, and spirit connection is yoga.

Yoga teaches support, consistency and patience.

Whenever we increase the amount of walking, bending, reaching, twisting, jumping, or climbing we are asking our bodies to work a little bit harder than usual. This increase in work increases lung capacity and makes the heart pump at a faster rate, thus bringing more oxygenated blood to our cells.

Our muscles are fed and the extra fluids released through exercise take out toxins which may have built up from inactivity. When we use our muscles, we build muscle. Muscles need fuel in the form of calories. More calories are burned, thus, the fat to muscle ratio decreases. If we get into a routine which encourages us to go beyond our ‘comfort’ zone…. to stretch a little further, to hold a little longer, to breathe a little deeper, we benefit from each small improvement. Over the months and years of physical movement, that adds up to a huge improvement in overall health. Positive, obvious changes are made in our bodies when we increase movement and become intelligent about our nutritional intake.

Does your lack of flexibility keep you from joining a yoga class? One of the main reasons I began yoga, was to increase my flexibility. My inflexibility caused many lower back issues. Through yoga I learned poses (asanas) designed to gradually open up the hips, hamstrings and glut muscles. And I learned to relax and breathe with the practice, rather than push through and force my muscles to lengthen.

The truth is that when I forced a stretch, my muscles would contract tighter upon release, than they were originally. Over time, flexibility increased and

lower back pain decreased. We simply accept where we are, beginning at our personal starting point and progress from there. It’s a waste of time to be angry with ourselves for our lack of flexibility. It’s self-abuse to force our bodies into positions we are not yet ready for. And yet, anger and force are very common in the fitness world. Yoga teaches support, consistency and patience.

Do you have time for everything but exercise? Let’s go back to simply increasing movement. Make the decision today to move more. You don’t have to set aside an hour every day to perform a particular routine. Choose to stand when you could sit. While you are standing, gently sway from side to side.

This takes no time away from your schedule. If you are at a desk, drop a pencil and bend over to pick it up…several times if you like. Rather than call or text someone who is in another room of your building or home, get up and walk to where they are and have your conversation. Park in the back of a parking lot, away from the entrance of a store, and sprint or walk briskly to the entrance. It’s a huge waste of time to drive around and around looking for a spot close to the front door. You could be using your energy rather than your car’s gas…cheaper and healthier.

When watching TV with the family, or alone, get on the floor and do some simple stretches. Exaggerate the movement of daily routines, like drying off after a shower. Yoga encourages organic movement.

Does embarrassment keep you away from class or from learning a practice you can do at home? You are your most harsh critic. Self-acceptance is paramount to change. Look in the mirror and say to yourself; this is me. This is the physical result of an accumulation of genetics and my personal thoughts, behaviors and activities. In this moment, I can be no different than I am. I can be no taller than I am, because of genetics. I cannot weigh less or more than I do because of genetics and behavior. My skin tone can be no different than it is because of genetics, age and exposure. I accept myself just as I am. It’s impossible to be different in this moment. Some things we can’t change and some we can. Decide what you want to change about your body. Do you want more energy?

Do you want to tone muscle? Do you want to lose or gain weight? Do you want to eat healthier? Then make a decision to change one behavior. You will see and feel the results of change over time. This encourages you to make another change and then another. Remember you have the rest of your life to create change. Yoga encourages self-respect and selfacceptance.

Are you concerned about yoga teachings interfering with your religious practice? I have had over 1000 hours of yoga training and not once has a spiritual precept ever offended or contradicted my basic religious beliefs. The philosophical tidbits taught in yoga come from a foundation of acceptance, compassion and individual freedom. If your religion does not accept respect for life, love of life, or physical and mental health and well-being then your religion may be against yoga.

A great way to begin to make changes is with the breath. The next time you find yourself stressed, selfcritical, or anything but accepting of what is in front of you, simply begin to breathe. First, get comfortable and take some long slow deep breaths through your nose. When you have inhaled as much air as you can, bring in just a little bit more. When you have exhaled as much air as you can, allow a little more to leave.

51

november 2013 | everythingwinnemucca.com

This practice will eventually increase lung capacity.

Now count slowly, one, two, three, as you inhale.

Perhaps you got to four on a full inhale, perhaps you got to seven. It doesn’t matter. Whatever number you arrived at, let your exhale be two counts longer.

Count the next inhale, again the number doesn’t matter, simply let each exhale be two counts longer than each inhale. Do this for about 5 minutes, staying focused on counting and breathing. When the exercise is complete, let go of effort and breathe naturally.

Feel how you feel. Notice any changes in your state of being. This is a great practice for relieving stress, accepting the moment, and quieting a busy mind.

I do this when I am having difficulty going to sleep, or returning to sleep upon waking in the middle of the night. You can increase to 10 minutes if you have time, or if you are on the run, takes just a few focused breaths. A relaxed body and mind is a healthy body and mind.

I hope I have addressed some of the most common concerns folks have about beginning a yoga practice.

I am always open to further conversations about this topic. Do not hesitate to call and ask questions or voice concerns. I am happy to listen and to share perspectives.

If you are interested in joining one of my classes or in scheduling private sessions, please feel free to call me at 623-9697. My ongoing classes are located in my home studio Tuesday and Thursday mornings at 9 am. Be sure to consult your physician before beginning any exercise program.

Massage for Old Injuries Ancient Injuries Don't Have to Make You Feel Old

Article courtesy of ABMP.com and Liz Barnard, LMT, EBW

Injuries such as chronic back pain, trick knees, and sticky shoulders are not necessarily something you just have to live with. Massage techniques might hold the key to unlocking this old pain.

Will Massage Help? The benefits of massage will depend on the extent of the injury, how long ago it occurred, and on the skill of the therapist. Chronic and old injuries often require deeper and more precise treatments with less emphasis on general relaxation and working on the whole body. Massage works best for soft tissue injuries to muscles and tendons and is most effective in releasing adhesions and lengthening muscles that have shortened due to compensatory reactions to the injury. Tight and fibrous muscles not only hurt at the muscle or its tendon, but can also interfere with proper joint movement and cause pain far away from the original injury.

Bengoa Eye Care is Very Thankful!

Contributed by Dr. Cody Bengoa, FCOVD

"He wishes you, your family and friends all the best during this holiday season and hopes you’ll entrust your eye care with his practice for years to come."

55

november 2013 | everythingwinnemucca.com

As Bengoa Eye Care approaches its 1 year anniversary, Dr. Cody Bengoa would like to express his gratitude toward his truly supportive wife Tiffany, parents Cleto and Sandra, grandmother Mary, siblings, extended family, and friends. In addition to the many people who have been instrumental in making his new practice successful, he thanks George Miller, his crew and subcontractors for the great job they did with the remodeling, as well as Stephanie Bauman for her interior design expertise and help with the art show openings.

Dr. Bengoa is very proud of his amazing staff of Vikki, Debby, Patty, Judy, Marilu and Monel, all of whom have been devoting many personal hours to studying for the American Board of Opticianry Examination.

This exam will test their knowledge of current skills necessary to provide for their patients’ eye wear needs with competence. Their dedication to keep up-to-date with their education in order to best serve Bengoa Eye Care’s patients is commendable, and Dr. Bengoa knows that they’ll all do great on their exam this month.

Dr. Bengoa is also grateful for the recent news that he’s joined a community of optometrists in the nation that have become board certified by the American Board of Optometry (ABO). Dr. Bengoa passed the ABO’s Board Certification Examination administered in July 2013 to become one of only 3 board certified ABO diplomats in the state of Nevada, with the other 2 being in Las Vegas. To attain this honor, Dr. Bengoa completed a series of rigorous post-graduate activities.

He then passed a challenging examination on issues spanning the scope of practice of optometry. This achievement earned Dr. Bengoa the title of Diplomate, American Board of Optometry, and demonstrates his commitment to lifelong learning.

Bengoa Eye Care has been fortunate to display the beautiful photography and paintings of Linda Dufurrena, Teddy Swecker and Delia Nuffer this year, and he appreciates them for being his guest artists. He invites the public to stop by and view Delia’s work currently on display and for sale within his hallways. He thanks all who attended his grand opening, art show openings, and those who took advantage of significant savings at his practice’s recent Fall Frame and Fashion Show. Finally, Dr. Bengoa thanks his wonderful patients for their loyalty and trust in him and his staff. He wishes you, your family and friends all the best during this holiday season and hopes you’ll entrust your eye care with his practice for years to come.

Enjoy the Healthcare Benefits You Deserve Contributed by Dr. Cody Bengoa, FCOVD As the end of the year draws near, now is the time to take advantage of your vision, Medicare, or Flexible Spending Account benefits. At Bengoa Eye Care, Dr. Cody Bengoa and his staff understand the importance of visual health – not only for clear vision, but for overall health of the body. “A comprehensive eye health examination can help in the early detection and diagnosis of potentially life-threatening conditions,”Dr. Bengoa comments.

One way to maximize healthcare is to understand the benefits that are available to you. If you’re eligible for Medicare or vision benefits, or have unspent money in your flexible spending account, now is the time to schedule a comprehensive vision and eye health examination.

Even if you’ve been considering a second pair of glasses for backup purposes or would like something different just for fun, now is the time to use your flexible spending account. You can also typically use your flex spending for prescription sunglasses and contact lenses. Call Bengoa Eye Care at (775)625-3937 to schedule an exam, or come on in to have your glasses and/or contact lenses prescription filled with us before the year’s end!

REFINANCE GOALS Refinancing a home may be a means to: • Reduce your monthly payment • Access the equity in your home for cash • Convert to a fixed rate from an adjustable rate mortgage

Reduce your monthly payment Refinancing to a lower rate mortgage means lower monthly payments for loans with the same term.

Most refinances occur when interest rates fall, and customers take advantage of this by refinancing to a lower fixed rate mortgage.

Fixed rate mortgages are viewed by most as a lower risk mortgage, maintaining one rate even if the market fluctuates upward and rates begin to rise.

57

november 2013 | everythingwinnemucca.com

But interest rates aren’t always on a downward trend. You can still reduce your monthly payment by refinancing to a lower rate adjustable mortgage for short-term savings. This may be an ideal option especially if you don’t anticipate staying in the home past the adjustment term.

Access the equity in your home for cash The equity you have in your home increases each time you make a home loan payment. By refinancing, you can free up some of this money for other purposes. You may need it fto fund a child’s college tuition, to make home improvements or to invest in a second home.

The equity in your home may also be used for debt consolidation.

Generally, the interest on home loans is tax-deductible while the interest on other types of loans is not tax-deductible. You may save money if you consolidate credit card payments, car loans, and other loans by refinancing your mortgage. In this situation, your debts have been restructured under your mortgage and the interest may be tax-deductible. (Consult your tax advisor regarding the potential deductibility of interest under this plan.)

The cash you are able to receive depends on the equity you have available and the refinance product you choose. Contact a mortgage consultant for more information on options available to you.

Convert to a fixed rate

Final Note

An adjustable rate mortgage is a product that allows you to enjoy home ownership with low monthly payments.

But the possibility of increasing rates and payments can be worrisome.

This information is intended to help you ask the right questions when considering a possible refinancing of your loan. But before you commit to any specific loan, contact your local participating bank agent or call toll-free 1-888-556-3498.

To reduce the uncertainty of future rates and payments, you might want to consider switching to the security of a fixed rate loan. Fixed rate mortgages are viewed by most as a lower risk mortgage by maintaining one rate for the duration of the loan. Even if the market fluctuates upward and rates begin to rise, you will feel secure in knowing your rate will remain constant.

What’s the difference between

Natural & Synthetic Vitamins?

Contributed by Lyle Avey, owner of Nature’s Corner

Vitamins are little organic molecules we need, but we can’t make, or have a hard time making them ourselves. We rely on our food to keep us stocked with these essential nutrients, but our food is getting less and less nutritious. Pesticides limit the action of beneficial microbes in soil that help plants draw in nutrients. Fertilizers focus on certain key chemicals and don’t take into account the trace minerals, organic components, or beneficial microbes. Genetically modified foods have made their way into our food supply, and we don’t know how they will affect us long term.

On top of these problems, we refine and process our food so it lasts longer, tastes better, and is more addictive. We strip and destroy vital nutrients as we do so. Much of the food we find in grocery stores barely resembles what humanity has been eating for thousands of years. There’s no wonder we have so many auto-immune disorders, food allergies, and growing epidemics with obesity. Our bodies don’t know what we’re ingesting; they aren’t finding the nutrients they need; and they are begging for us to eat more, so we do.

november 2013 | everythingwinnemucca.com

We all know we need a steady supply of vitamins and minerals so our bodies can function properly. Scientists, doctors, and food companies agree, so they create vitamins in labs, recommend multivitamins, and fortify our foods and beverages. The problem is they all use synthetic vitamins.

Almost all multivitamins are from synthetics.

The same goes for fortified foods. There’s a good reason for this. Synthetic vitamins are cheaper to make and usually more stable.

This means they can last on shelves for months or years, be added to foods in high doses, and create dense tablets that won’t be too big to take along with some fillers and binders. These vitamins are allowed to call themselves “natural” even when they are synthetic because they are considered virtually identical to the ones found in food.

The way these compounds are made is not remotely similar to the metabolic processes that plants and animals use. The finished product is also usually a compound not found in nature in any such form. These synthetic vitamins, according to a multitude of studies, are not as bioavailable, absorbable, or usable.

These “virtually identical� vitamins are not what we find in natural foods.

Some consumers do not know how to identify a natural vitamin from a synthetic one. Vitamin and mineral supplements may contain labels that are too complicated to understand.

Some manufacturers of commercial vitamin and mineral supplements add synthetics to vitamin products, typically to increase the vitamin's potency, but many synthetics are made from derivatives of coal tar - a known carcinogen found in cigarette smoke. This is only one of the reasons why it is important to talk to your doctor before taking any new supplement.

Helpful hints when reading a vitamin or supplement label.

Step 1 Look for the words "100 percent natural" on the product's label. Some product labels may contain the words "natural," but manufacturers can claim "natural" on their nutritional products if at least 10 percent of the product comes from natural food sources. The Organic Consumers Organization recommends looking for products that contain "100 percent plantbased" or "100 percent animal-based" on the product's label.

Step 2 Find the "food source" list on the products label. If the product's label does not contain a list of natural food sources, then the product is synthetic. Look for food sources such as yeast, fish, vegetable and citrus.

Step 3 Identify whole foods in the ingredient list instead of the particular nutrient. Dr. Ben Kim, a chiropractor and acupuncturist with his own radio show, says to look for foods on the list of ingredients that contain a certain vitamin, such as "acerola cherry powder," which contains vitamin C.

Step 4 Look for salt forms on the product label, a synthetic added to supplements for increasing the stability of the vitamin or mineral. Some of the salt forms to look for include acetate, bitartrate, chloride, gluconate, hydrochloride, nitrate and succinate.

Step 5 Learn how to read the product's label by looking for keywords that indicate the supplement is synthetic.

You should always consult your physician prior to adding any supplement to your diet and have your pharmacist help you identify between Synthetic and Natural Vitamins and Supplements. When choosing a product keep in mind any medication or food allergies you may have.

Monthly Tips #3:

Women’s Health All women should be especially conscious of the following:

Get Enough Folic Acid Folic acid is especially crucial for pregnant women, or women who may become pregnant. This vitamin can prevent birth defects and is needed within the first few weeks of pregnancy.

That is why it is important to incorporate folic acid in your daily regimen, as most women do not even know they are pregnant until after several weeks have passed. The two best ways to get folic acid are to eat fortified breakfast cereals or to take a daily vitamin. You can also eat foods with folate (a type of folic acid), such as asparagus, spinach, orange juice and beans.

Women of childbearing age (typically ages 11 to 49) need 400 mcg of folic acid every day.

Get Tested for Breast Cancer

Get Tested for Cervical Cancer

Get a mammogram every 1 to 2 years, starting at age 40.

Mammograms can help detect breast cancer early; you have a better chance of surviving breast cancer if it is found in its early stages. If breast or ovarian cancer runs in your family, you should start getting mammograms before age 40.

The best way to prevent cervical cancer is to get regular Pap tests, which is a screening test for this kind of cancer.

You need a Pap test if you are 21 or older, or under 21 and have been sexually active for 3 years or more. Most deaths from cervical cancer could have been avoided by having regular Pap tests. This test can find unusual cells before they turn into cancer. It is recommended you have a Pap test every 1 to 3 years from ages 21 to 64.

A mammogram is an X-ray of the breast. It uses a very low level of radiation and is safe. When you get a mammogram, the nurse will place your breasts, one at a time, between two plastic plates and take pictures of each one. Mammograms do not hurt and take less than 15 minutes.

You should also be performing monthly breast selfexams (BSEs). The best time to do so is a few days after your period ends. To learn how to perform a BSE and find out what to look for, visit http://ww5.komen.org/ BreastCancer/InteractiveTools.html. If you find a change, make an appointment with your doctor as soon as possible.

A Pap test lasts only 3 to 5 minutes. It may be uncomfortable, but does not hurt. You will lie on an exam table and a doctor or nurse will insert a tool called a speculum into your vagina, opening it to see the cervix. A special brush collects cells from the cervix, which is sent to a lab for testing.

Doctors also recommend that women age 26 and younger get the HPV (human papilloma virus) vaccine.

It protects against the types of HPV that cause cervical cancer and some sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).

Hello Northern Nevada!

My name is Tanzee and I am Santa and Mrs. Claus’s dog.

Last year Mrs. Claus published my story and I began to get letters from other animals. Mrs. Claus also had children writing to her with questions for me, so I have put some of the questions together to share.

Jake, Bird I also received a letter from a bird named Jak e. Jake said that he has a wonderful home and loves to fly aroun d, but it made him think about his relatives in the wild. Jake wante d to know if I caught birds to eat.

Jake, do not worry, I do not catch birds. Santa and Mrs. Claus feed me some very tas ty dog food, not to me ntion all the elves dog treats… I always have a very full tummy .

As h the cat wanted to know if there were mice at the North Pole an d if there were cats to catch them.

We have lots of cats at the North Pole; in fact, we have four of them that live in the ho use with Santa, Mrs. Cla us and me. It is very cold in the North Pole, so most of our cat s sta y inside our houses and eat cat foo d. The mice in the North Pole are not like your mice in Winnemuc ca, they are called Lem mings and are short and stocky and have long claws. They live in underground tunnels that they have dug, not in houses or barns.

Ringo & Gopher,

Wire Fox Terrier and Pomeranian

Ringo, a wire fox terrier and his brother Gopher, a Pomeranian both from Winnemucca, had the following question for me. Ringo asked if Mrs. Claus made me dress up in “Goofy looking” Christmas outfits, like Reindeer antlers and a red nose, or an elf hat and boots? Gopher added that their people seemed to take great joy in dressing them for the Christmas season and to make the situation more embarrassing, took pictures of them and distributed the pictures to all their friends. Is this just a Winnemucca thing?

I have heard of many humans dressing dogs (not just in Winnemucca). I am told that they do this as a sign of love and affection. Mrs. Claus is very fond of putting me in bows (I kind of look like a cross between a dairy cow- I have black and white spots- and a Christmas present gone wrong), but Mrs. Claus gets all happy teary and says that I look beautiful, so if it makes your human happy, I say it is worth looking, well, you know, not like a dog…

Dogs have been guiding humans for centuries, some officially like Canine Companions and Seeing, Hearing and Therapy dogs, others not so officially like the two of you and your human. Mrs. Claus tells me every day how much she loves me, and I know that I am part of her heart, like you are to your human.

Humans depend on us, you know, they need our love and devotion. It is a very special bond.

You are very perceptive dogs and absolutely correct, this is the time that the elves are switching into high gear, only a little over a month to go until Christmas and so many presents have to be finished! Speaking of which, I must go. There are two more varieties of dog treats, newly created, that absolutely need my expertise in the tasting department.

Duty calls! Before I go, (those treats are smelling yummy), if you would like to write to me, you can reach me through Mrs. Claus’s email-askmrsclaus@gmail.com.

With love and best holiday wishes,

Tanzee

Chamber of Commerce Christmas Kick-off Coin Flip and Wine Walk November 16 9:30am Kick-off 2:00pm Wine Walk

67

november 2013 | everythingwinnemucca.com

Each November, the Chamber of Commerce has their Christmas kick-off.

This year is no different. Starting on November 16th at 9:30 AM, you can join us for the Coin Flip. Never heard of it?

Well, let me explain. First, you show up at the Chamber office (30 W. Winnemucca Blvd.) You purchase a coin for $5. The coin has the Chamber Logo on one side, and “Shop ‘til you Drop” on the other side.

Each person that purchases a coin “flips” their coin until the last person standing has landed on the Shop ‘til you Drop side.

That person will win a $100 Chamber Check that can be used at any local Chamber business. Who couldn’t use an extra $100 this holiday season? Come on down and try your luck!

We would also like to invite you to take part in our Christmas Kickoff Wine Walk.

Because of the colder weather and earlier sunsets, this wine walk is held a bit earlier in the afternoon. The fun starts at 2pm and goes until 5pm. Glasses and maps can be purchased for $20 at the Chamber office. The map will guide you around downtown to all the participating businesses. This is always a grand time to enjoy wine samplings and amazing friendships.

- Cut a 7x7 pattern paper and tear along one of the edges using a tearing ruler.

- I'm using a 31/2"x5" picture. Cut a background paper 1/4" bigger than your picture.

- Use a corner rounder on 2 sides of picture and photo background paper.

- Use an ink pad and ink the edges of all your papers.

- Cut an 8" piece of ribbon (use ribbon tape or glue dots to hold it in place).

- Cut out a 3"x2" tag for your title and ink edges. Put some small jewels on the bottom area. Use a couple scrap pieces of ribbon and tie them through the hole in the tag.

Use a glue dot to hold ribbons together. Adhere puff dots on back of tag.

- Cut 3 different colors/patterned papers (This will serve as the 3 bottom pieces on top of a plain card) • 4” x 1 ¾” • 4” x 1 ½” • 4” x 1 ¾” - Cut the remaining pieces in coordinating colors • Ribbon strip is ¾” x 5 ½” (our plain base card is 5 ½” wide) • Lighter Square is 2 ¼” x 2 ¼” • Darker Square is 2 ½” x 2 ½” - Distress the edges of all your cut pieces by using an ink pad and a sponge. Gently swipe the sponge along the edges to give it the distressed look.

- Using your stamps, this project we used “Warm Winter Wishes” and “Forest”, stamp your Lighter Square in whichever color ink pad you would like. 2nd generation stamping comes from putting ink on your stamp, stamping the paper, and then restamping your paper without re-inking. It gives the project a 3-D shadow effect.

- Embellish your project from here as you see fit. As pictured, we tied an additional piece of string around the ribbon paper piece and some beautiful glittery “snow sparkles” This card and many others can be purchased in a “kit”. All directions are included, making it easy for the beginners to create a beautiful masterpiece all their own.

- Glue, Glue dots or adhesive squares can all be used to attach your paper pieces • With the front of the card facing you, glue down the 4 x 1 ¾” piece on the left, 4 x 1 ½” in the middle, 4 x 1 ¾” on the right, ribbon strip lays across the bottom third of the project and last but not least, your darker square to the bottom right with the stamped lighter square perfectly centered over the top

Understanding the Affordable Care Act with the FCAA Contributed by Stefanie Lyons- FCAA Family Advocate

In today’s economy, the last thing anyone wants to worry about is an extra expense, with The Affordable Care Act now in place, many people are wondering how they will take on this new expense and still be able to pay bills. However, with this program comes new opportunity to affordably secure health care for you and your family, and we are here to help you navigate the paperwork, and guide you in the right direction. While for some Americans, The Affordable Care Act means an extra expense, for many, it does not. Did you know that no one will be required

to purchase health insurance that will cost more than 8% of his or her family’s total income?

Others who are not required to purchase health insurance are those who are not required to file federal tax returns. For those who are required to carry health insurance, there are numerous options, including the National insurance exchanges, Medicaid or Medicare and private insurance. You can also qualify for a Premium tax credit if you buy through the marketplace. You may also qualify for employer shared responsibility, which means that if your employer has more than 50 full time employees, and 1 staff finds lower cost insurance through the marketplace, the employer must share the expense. You may also qualify for one of the two types of government help, “one kind helps pay your monthly health insurance premium. The other helps with your out-of-pocket expenses for care. You may qualify for one or both, and the federal government can pay your health plan directly. (kaiserpermanente.org) You may also wonder about pre-existing conditions ” Insurance companies can no longer deny coverage because you have a medical condition, and you don’t have to pass a medical exam to qualify for coverage” (.kaiserpermanente.org) Medicaid has expanded to accommodate more individuals, for example, a family of 3 whose income is below 2,165 per month, should be eligible for Medicaid. “You will be able to find out if you qualify for reduced premiums and reduced cost-sharing at the Health Insurance Marketplaces. But here are some general income guidelines that might be used by the government to see if you qualify and how much help you would receive.

If you’re single, you could qualify if you make less than $45,960 (or if you live in Hawaii, less than $52,920).

The FCAA is here to help guide you in the right direction to help you find the best possible option and to keep you informed on how this program works

For couples, you could qualify if you make less than $62,040 (or if you live in Hawaii, less than $71,400).

Our kind and compassionate staff can help you with the application process. We want you to know there is no need to fear this change, after all, is health insurance any less important than car insurance?

For a family of four, you could qualify if you make less than $94,200 (or if you live in Hawaii, less than $108,360).*

While we are on the topic of economy, I would like to ask, are you unemployed and finding that searching for a job is a very difficult and daunting task? We would like to take this time to invite you to make an appointment with Alaine, for needs including employment services, resume building, job search and guidance. Let us take some of the stress off of you. As always, every service the Frontier Community Action Agency provides is 100% free to clients.

Another benefit of the Affordable Care Act, is a lower number of uninsured individuals using emergency care, as it is, when an uninsured person goes to the emergency room, the hospital typically never recoups that money, which then causes a rise in health care costs, and the insured wind up paying dearly, by way of higher healthcare costs and higher insurance premiums.

Think uninsured motorist sideswiping your 2012 Mercedes, expensive for you since you are the responsible car owner. With more insured Americans, there should be fewer uninsured emergency room visits, and possibly a reduction in healthcare costs. In the end, everyone wins, hospitals make their money, and Americans receive better quality treatment.

One of our knowledgeable staff will be more than happy to assist you with any questions or concerns you may have. So if you would like to volunteer, learn more about the FCAA programs, additional resources, schedule an appointment, or have any questions regarding our organization, please contact us at (775) 623-9003. Or stop by our offices, located at 640 Melarkey Street, Suite 3, Winnemucca, NV. The more people 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. *Kaiserpermenente.org (2013) Ten most asked questions.
