Color the Mucc September 14th No, we are not the Color Run; Color me Rad or Run or Dye! What we are is “Color the Mucc”, the largest single color run in the middle of nowhere. You heard right-some people think it’s the middle of nowhere, but it’s certainly going to be a very bright spot in the middle of nowhere, come September 14th.

“That’s what we want to be known for,” says Alicia Cramer who sits on the board of directors for the Humboldt County Chamber of Commerce, “a bright spot, a colorful place to be. This will be a fun run/walk for the whole family--a great community event and something good for you. Get up, get moving, and come have a good time.”

The Chamber of Commerce and Humboldt General Hospital are sponsoring “Color the Mucc” a 3k-5k fun run on Saturday, September 14, 2013. Registration is now open on-line at http://winnemuccachamber.blogspot. com or at the Chamber office, 30 W. Winnemucca Blvd.

There are no winners or losers at this event, not even official time is kept, (although there will be a time clock at the end for serious runners to note) but rather individuals and teams and families out to support their community, get doused with color at each kilometer, to have fun, and get a little exercise at the same time.

“Participants must wear white” says Cramer, “and that’s about the only requirement.” The race begins at 11:00a.m. at the Winnemucca Community Garden and ends at Vesco City Park, where the Winners Hotel and Casino will be hosting the “Winners Circle” and handing out water, fruit, energy bars and the swag bags for those who cross the finish line.

Inside the swag bags, which are being provided by Humboldt General Hospital, are lots of goodies from various businesses around town as well as a headband/ sweatband, which will grant you discounts at various restaurants and shops around town. The only catch is

september 2013 | everythingwinnemucca.com

you have to wear your Color the Mucc head/sweatband that day to show you participated in the run. The Lowry High School Year Book club will be taking photos, and there will be music, that unofficial time clock, cheerleaders to cheer you across the finish line, and more. It should be a really enjoyable day.

For more information you can call the Chamber office at 623-2225 or ‘like’ Color the Mucc and Humboldt County Chamber of Commerce on Facebook.

The Nevada Coalition for Suicide Prevention is dedicated to partnering and collaborating with local and state individuals and organizations for the development and implementation of evidenced based suicide prevention intervention, and postvention strategies and programs in the State of Nevada. The Frontier Community Action Agency has partnered again this year with the Nevada Coalition for Suicide Prevention and together invites you to join us for the “Walk in Memory, Walk for Hope" a suicide prevention community walk which will be taking place on Saturday, September 14, 2013. The walks take place across the state of Nevada during the national Suicide Prevention Week in September. With credit to the Elko SOS group for the very first “Walk in Memory, Walk for Hope” in 2006 the walk event raises awareness of the problem of suicide in Nevada, offers healing support to survivors of suicide loss, and raises money for communities to support prevention efforts.

In 2012, the 6th annual “Walk in Memory, Walk for Hope” grew to 1400 walkers in eight communities throughout Nevada. This year we have had 2 more communities join us and would love for you to join us. You can help us Stop Suicide by participating in this wonderful event. All donations will be used to help fund the various Nevada Coalition for Suicide Prevention (NCSP) programs in the communities throughout the state. Each walk site

varies in the actual distance but they range from 3-5K. Each community also has their own special ways of remembering the loved ones they have lost to suicide on that day taking place before and after the walk. All locations participating in Nevada walks are Caliente Douglas County, Elko, Fallon, Las Vegas/Henderson, Mesquite, Pahrump, Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe, Reno/Sparks, Winnemucca, and Yerington.

The Walk Coordinator for Winnemucca again this year is Alaine Kliewer-Nye who is the Program Director with the Frontier Community Action Agency, but also a survivor of suicide as well. She has become very passionate in helping those cope through such a loss as this death is different than any other, therefore the grief and healing process can feel different and at times like no one else understands. Yet when you are able to connect to others and know you are not alone it provides a sense of hope that you will survive this loss.

Kliewer-Nye experienced the death of her boyfriend in 2004 and even though her close friends and family were experiencing the loss as well, it felt as if no one else could have the guilt she felt. After connecting with Jan Bassier, Misty Vaughan Allen, and Linda Flatt with the NCSP, she felt it was time to reach out to others in our community being affected by the loss of suicide as well. By connecting and talking to one another we can learn new ways of coping with our situation by hearing how others have coped with their loss as well as to come to a sense of hope that we will survive our loss too, and we are not alone.

Because there is help, there is hope. We want to make sure individuals struggling with thoughts of suicide and the friends and families doing their best to support them can be connected to resources and services that can make a difference. The concerted efforts of the NCSP, the Office of Suicide Prevention, the FCAA, and the many local task forces and coalitions across the state hosting events such as

the "Walk in Memory, Walk for Hope" will help make Nevada a healthier and safer place to live.

We hope you will join us for Winnemucca’s Fifth Annual “Walk in Memory- Walk for Hope” Saturday, September 14, 2013. We have two guest speakers who will be joining us as well here in Winnemucca, LT Daniel Barraza the State Suicide Prevention Program Manager with the Military and Family Support Services and Monica Gonzalez a dedicated volunteer with Solace Tree for the past 7 years. If you are unable to donate $20 for a t-shirt, wear purple and join us to increase awareness and prevent other suicides from taking place. Registration will begin at 8:00 a.m. at the Winnemucca Community Garden, 151 W. McArthur Ave. Winnemucca, NV 89445. Each person walking is asked to complete a registration form. If you are unable to participate in the walk here in Winnemucca, you can register on line by clicking on the community you want to participate in. Walk participants are asked to donate $20 per individual, which includes a t-shirt connecting us to one another as we support and encourage one another throughout the walk. All walkers are welcome and any donation is gratefully accepted, as all the contributions go to the Nevada Coalition for Suicide Prevention to advance its mission. To register on line or for more information on the individual communities please visit the website www. nvsuicideprevention.org. Complete the registration form and then complete the PayPal feature as if you do not complete the PayPal feature you will not be considered pre—registered. Participants can also print out the registration PDF form, complete, and either mail it in to the address on the form or bring it with you to the walk in your community. To participate on a team, go to the drop down box and select a team already there or enter the name of a team in the “new team” area.

Farmers Market Earlier this year, a number of people attended a FEAST workshop at the Martin hoping to learn more about .... food. Some were interested in providing better quality nutrition for the community, especially for those in need. They also wanted to learn about and support local agriculture. As we all know, Winnemucca is a long way from farming centers and very dependent on outside supply, so that is a concern. A few people were interested in developing their own vegetable farms.

Out of that meeting, the group decided to focus on developing the farmers market as a starting point. The main purpose is to provide an outlet for local farmers, as well as food vendors, crafters and artists. Sources of local produce are still limited, so they are also bringing in produce from family farms in California and Nevada.

Each week, new items are brought in for everyone to enjoy. Volunteers from the Farmers Market group are bringing in produce from the surrounding areas. Some of these fresh items are peaches, nectarines, plums, pluots, beefsteak tomatoes, purple onions, zucchini and Certified Organic garlic. Hearts of Gold Cantaloupe jam and local alfalfa honey also line the tables.

Thursdays from 4:00-7:30pm on the Nixon Lawn

From the local area, you can find lettuce, spinach and eggs. Organic dog biscuits are available to spoil your furry friend. Carole Newman is on hand with the ‘Almost World Famous’ Chocolate Chip cookies! Natures Art comes with some beautiful handmade planters and boxes. Jewelry and handmade blankets are also on display—truly something for everyone!

The Farmers Market will be on the Nixon Lawn (corner of Hwy 95 and Winnemucca Blvd) every Thursday night from 4:00-7:30. They hope to continue this event as long as weather and produce allow.

Any type of item is welcome for sale. The Winnemucca Farmers Market would like to include as many crafts, food and handmade items as possible.

If you are interested in becoming a vendor, please contact the Winnemucca Farmers Market Association at 623-2333 or by email at wmca.market@gmail.com

Stop by each Thursday to see what the Market has provided to our community. Who doesn’t love fresh, tree/vine ripened fruits and veggies?

This is

WINNEMUCCA Saturday, September 21, 2013, 10a.m. – 4p.m.

Just above the site where thousands of wagon trains forded the Humboldt River on the long journey to California sits the Humboldt Museum. At the museum you will find a complex of 4 buildings which house the history of the region.

First is the Church which was originally constructed in 1907 and operated as St. Mary’s Episcopal Church before being moved to the Museum’s property in the 1970’s where it was opened as the Humboldt Museum. Today this structure is utilized as a gathering place for meetings, shows, book signings and luncheons hosted by the Museum as well as various other community service groups. The Church is also available to be rented out for private parties and weddings starting at $250.00 for 4 hours plus deposit.

The second building to arrive at the Museum’s complex was donated to the North Central Nevada Historical Society in 1982 by Sam and Louise Greinstein and is referred to as the Greinstein Building. There is some discrepancy as to the original construction date which could be as early as 1864 according to

15

september 2013 | everythingwinnemucca.com

one reference. Sam’s father first utilized the building for his business Nevada Hide and Junk which opened in 1911. In 1935, the store was converted into a dwelling with a kitchen in the back. For many years it served as the Museum’s Thrift Store. Today each of its three rooms contain different settings from days gone by. The first room is a mercantile, the second an early barber shop and the third a rustic kitchen. The remnants of Greinstein’s Nevada Hide and Junk business are still visible today.

In 1984 construction began on the main museum structure where the majority of the Museum’s collections are housed.

The Historical Society began moving into the new facility in 1985 and soon determined that an expansion would be necessary. In 2000 the second story was added to the brick structure.

Today this two-story, 9,460 sf. building contains a library, a gift shop, an A/V room and several displays including an early school house scene, a mammoth, Native American beaded regalia, vintage automobiles and local Chinese artifacts to name a few.

Finally, in 2005 the Richardson-Saunders house arrived at the museum complex. It was a generous donation by Nora Saunders-Chipman.

Originally constructed in 1899, the home was purchased in 1902 by the Richardsons, Nora’s grandparents who were a mining family from Cornwall, England. The home, remaining in the same family for 103 years, is a rare example of Eastlake Style construction still remaining in Nevada today. In December 2012 the renovations were complete and the RichardsonSaunders House was opened for tours.

group would like to participate please contact Museum staff at 775-623-2912 in order to reserve your space. We hope to see many members of our community at this event!

If you haven’t visited the Humboldt Museum lately, you are encouraged to do so. The Humboldt Museum in Winnemucca is a wonderful local history repository where visitors both local and foreign can stop to learn about the place we call home. We are located at 175 Museum Lane in Winnemucca; our hours are Monday-Friday 9a.m. – 4p.m., Saturdays 1p.m. – 4p.m.

This summer, the Humboldt Museum saw another big change. An impressive 30’ x 90’ plaza was constructed in front of the main museum structure. This plaza has helped stabilize the building which has had some issues with unstable footings leading to cracks in the brick support walls. The plaza is the first phase of enhancement to the Museum complex. In the hopefully not so far future, the complex will become a walkable court yard with additional display buildings such as a jail, an assay office and a school house. The newly constructed plaza also provides a great outdoor venue for events at the Museum.

On Saturday, September 21, 2013, 10a.m. – 4p.m. an event entitled “This is Winnemucca” will be the first to utilize the newly constructed plaza.

“This is Winnemucca” is intended to bring recognition to some of what Winnemucca has to offer. Local businesses, community service groups, artists, and agencies have been invited to participate and exemplify what they’re all about. There will also be live entertainment, concessions and raffle prizes. The Humboldt Museum has decided not to charge a “booth fee” for this event in order to encourage more participants.

SAVORY PIES Like going back to school, it's one of our favorite fall rituals, making an apple pie (or two...). Imagine juicy wedges, layered atop each other, cradled in a delicate crust browned to golden perfection.

The only thing that improves the moment is a scoop of our best vanilla ice cream.

Recipes from The Apple Lover’s Cookbook

Getting to the Core from Tree to Table From Eve’s Hand in creation’s garden to the teacher’s desk and on to any number of small electronic devices, the apple rules the fruit world as the icon for all that is good and sustaining.

Apples are one of the few fruits that we buy by the variety. Bananas are bananas, but apples come as Red Delicious, Braeburn, Honeycrisp, Granny Smith, or one of the other 7500 varieties. From this vast diversity, about 300 varieties are grown commercially in the U.S. Interestingly, over time, both politics and economics have influenced the apple varieties available to us and where they’re grown. Until the 1990’s, U.S. orchards provided the world with apples with over half of the apples sold being Red Delicious. Research efforts around the Red Delicious variety aimed toward larger apples with darker coloring. Ironically, those cosmetic characteristics were delivered at the expense of great apple taste. Other varieties, such as Granny Smith, Gala, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn, have recently gained shelf space pushing the Red Delicious to less than a quarter of the apple offering. Pacific varieties such as New Zealand’s Gala and the Japanese Fuji, grew popular in the U.S. orchards primarily for exporting purposes.

In the 1990’s came the “apple crash.” Between 1980-2000, spurred by newly opened trade policies, Chinese orchards grew by 750 percent and began to supply apples to the foreign markets previously serviced by U.S. growers. The upside of this situation was that the previously exported Pacific varieties were now marketed domestically bringing more choice to the local market.

The Recipe prescribes cooking the apples until not quite tender. The apple slices are then cooled prior to filling the pie crust.

Early fall is a great time to make apple pie, before any competition arises from the pumpkin and pecan pies that share the Thanksgiving table. We’ve made a lot of apple pies in our lifetime, and are constantly interested in improvements on the classic recipe. This version is simple, not overly sweet or excessively spiced. The crust was very cooperative, and tasted as good as the filling—ad we’re quite picky about our crusts!

We joined the other judges in awarding this recipe a blue ribbon and filing it under the “keeper” category.

1. Shrink the apples allowing more fruit per cubic inch of pie.

2. Eliminate the gap between the fruit and the top crust.

3.

Reduce the chance of the pie’s juices overflowing the dish.

4. Achieve a perfectly browned crust without undercooking the apples.

recipe

Free-form apple-pear cranberry tart Rustic Tarts are anything but rough or crude. In fact, we think they’re totally elegant. This super-easy tart blends four fruits – apples, pears, cranberries, and oranges – into a luscious sweet treat. The crust is easily made and handles superbly. Orange zest and an imperceptible hint of cloves brought out the fall fruit flavors in a fabulous way. We’ll be making tart several times this season!

Makes 8 medium servings Active Time: 45 minutes – Total Time: 1 hour, 20 minutes, plus 30 minutes chilling time.

I love the rustic look of this tart filled with sliced apples, pears, and cranberries. Rather than baking it in a pie plate, you simply roll out the crust into a circle, fill it with fruit, and fold the sides up around the filling. It’s sweet and tangy, doesn’t require any fussiness on your part, and makes an impressive Thanksgiving centerpiece. It’s best served with vanilla ice cream.

APPLE NOTES: Any firm-tart apple variety will work.

EQUIPMENT: Parchment paper; lg rimmed baking sheet FOR THE CRUST: 1-1/4 C (180 g) all-purpose flour 1 T granulated sugar 1/2 t kosher salt 8 T (1 stick; 113 g) chilled unsalted butter, cut into small cubes 1 large egg yolk mixed with 2 T ice water

FOR THE FILLING: 2 medium (or 1-1/2 large) firm-tart apples

(about 12 ounces total) 1 large ripe pear, such as d’Anjou or Bartlett 1/2 cup (103 g) plus 1 teaspoon granulated sugar 1 tablespoon cornstarch 1 teaspoon freshly grated orange zest 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves 1/3 cup fresh or thawed frozen cranberries 1 large egg, beaten well 1. First, make the crust: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and sugar until well combined. Sprinkle the butter cubes on top and use your fingers to work them in (you want to rub your thumb against your fingertips, smearing the butter as you do). Stop when the mixture looks like cornmeal with some pea-sized bits of butter remaining (try to work quickly so the butter doesn’t melt). Sprinkle the egg yolk-water mixture on top and stir with a fork until the dough begins to come together. If needed, add one more tablespoon of water. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead three times. Gather into

a ball, then press into a disk and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400° F and set a rack to the second-from-the-bottom position. Peel, core, and cut the apples into 1/4-inch-thick wedges. Peel and cut the pear into 1/2-inchthick slices. Gently toss together in a bowl and set aside. In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup sugar, the cornstarch, orange zest, and cloves; set aside.

3. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a circle about 16 inches wide and 1/8 inch thick. The circle doesn’t have to be perfect – this is a rustic dessert – but try to get it as round as possible, even if that means cutting little dough off one side to add to the other. Transfer the dough to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

4. Arrange half the apple and pear slice over the dough, leaving a 2-1/2-inch border all around. Sprinkle half the cranberries over the apples. Sprinkle half the sugar-cornstarch mixture over the fruit, then repeat with the fruit and then the sugar mixture. Fold the sides of the dough up and over the edge of the filling, allowing the dough to drape over itself at each fold. Brush the dough with the beaten egg, and sprinkle all with one teaspoon of sugar, Bake for 10 minutes; lower the temperature to 375° F, and bake until golden brown, about 25 minutes more. Let cool on a rack for at least 30 minutes, then transfer to a serving platter and serve warm.

Recipe Notes Dried cranberries may be used if fresh or frozen cranberries are unavailable. Simply steep the dried berries in hot water for about 15 minutes or until fully plumped.

Don’t worry if the tart appears juicy when removed from the oven. As it cools, the juices will reabsorb and thicken.

Make it easy on yourself! Roll the crust into a circle on a piece of parchment paper. Transfer the crust onto an unrimmed baking sheet, fill and bake. The parchment paper eliminates moving the fragile dough and protects the pan during baking.

Apple care Q&A Q: What is the best way to store apples?

A: They are best stored in the crisper drawer of your refrigerator, because apples will deteriorate fast if not kept in a cool environment. Apples emit ethylene gas that, when packaged with other fruits such as bananas, kiwis, peaches, plumbs, and pears, will hasten their ripening. This same gas may damage certain vegetables including broccoli, cabbage, cucumbers, and leafy greens; store apples separately from these items. Get more info from: New York Apple Association

Q: I know apples begin to brown once cut, but why?

A: Apples, like bananas, pears, potatoes, and other fruits and vegetables, contain an enzyme and ironcontaining phenols that react with oxygen (oxidation).

When exposed to the air, a brown color appears on the surface. The browning can be slowed by: (1) adding an acidic component such as lemon juice, which acts to reduce the pH, (2) submersing the fruits or vegetable in water reducing air exposure, or (3) stopping the reaction through cooking.

Q: Why are apples waxed?

A: Apples have a “Natural” wax that is partially removed when preparing a harvest for shipment. Apples may have added wax applied to reduce moisture loss and to improve their appearance. The wax typically used is a natural plant based, non-petroleum coating such as carnauba wax derived from palm tree leaves or shellac.

These coatings are approved for food use and generally thought to be safe. It is rare to find wax on organic apples, though it is possible and still be properly labeled as “organic” if the wax also qualifies as organic.

Cookbook Review The Apple Lover’s Cookbook by Amy Traverso. Published W. W. Norton & Company, Inc., New York, NY. Copyright 2011.

A 2012 international association of culinary professional’s James Beard cookbook winner!

You don’t have to be an apple lover to appreciate this cookbook. Ms. Traverso (with photos by Squire Fox) has assembled a beautiful compendium of apple knowledge – the kind of cookbook that belongs as easily on the coffee table as it does in the kitchen. We are treated to all the basics of apple growing, descriptions of various varieties, and techniques for working with apples. Recipes run the gamut from Soups and Starters, Sides, Salads, Entrees, Breads, and Desserts. Between chapters, she includes intriguing essays covering the business of apples, some of the science involved in apple growing, and a few “life in the orchard: vignettes. It’s a two-fer –a delightful read and a wonderful cookbook!

fascinated by Benjamin Lovett’s teaching that they moved him to Dearborn, Michigan and built him a Contributed by Dennis Mastin, Caller

Between 1921 and 1952, Ford paid Lovett a handsome wage, gave him a new car annually, and spent millions bringing other callers, cuers, educators and dance teachers to Dearborn to study and share knowledge with Lovett.

If you travelled, before the Lovett era, to the next closest town to dance, you would have to learn to dance all over again as choreography was not standard.

During the Lovett era, if you worked for FORD Motor Company as an executive or company officer, you were required to be a square dancer.

If you look at the mental skills that square dancing develops then you understand some of the appeal this activity has for us (and had for an industrialist like Ford). There are such skills as listening and responding instantaneously, working as a team for a greater goal, decisiveness, comprehension, creativity, mental focus, goal orientation, etc., etc.

The physical aspect also has a huge appeal. It is a brisk 10 to 15 minute walk (yes walk-no fancy footwork

for those who say they can’t dance).

A “tip” of dancing is about 10-15 minutes of walking at a speed of 125-129 beats/steps per minute followed by a 5-10 minute break.

The social aspect allows you to actually visit with and speak to real people without a glowing tube (IPhone, cell phone, computer, etc.) in a warm, friendly social atmosphere.

The music is any genre in 4/4 or 2/4 time and from any era. Examples might be Alabama Jubilee 1915, Up Jumped the Devil 1940’s, The Auctioneer 1956, Calendar Girl circa 1962, even Telephone (Lady Gaga), Bust a Move (a rap tune, but the caller is the rapper!)

Today’s square dancing exists in 40 countries of the world including Denmark, Britain, Czechoslovakia, Australia, Japan, New Zealand and Germany. The choreography is absolutely standard worldwide, the language is always English, and the activity’s origin is the USA. I also belong to the Inter Club

Council which includes Reno, Carson City, Dayton, and Fallon and I call for the Oasis Squares club in Fallon every week. It’s a very active group of wonderful people with about 31 members now.

Winnemucca has its own club, The Desert Twisters. I call for three schools in Humboldt County also.

This is to perpetuate and preserve a fun, productive, historically traditional social activity with a definite skill set for our younger generation.

The Desert Twisters started in the late 70’s here in Winnemucca. Over the years, square dancing has grown in popularity here, but we would like to invite anyone new to join us as we start up a new season in September.

To join, simply give us a call! There are a few things to keep in mind.

First of all, we allow anyone OVER the age of 10 to join the fun, but we strongly suggest someone that young has an adult partner to help them. Secondly, a certain degree of commitment is appreciated. During every class, we all learn new steps.

Before you go off and start building up your wine cellar, you might want to consider how many different glasses you will need to be a true wine snob. We gave this a little thought after sharing the Josh Cabernet and the Shannon Ridge wines with you in the July and August issues.

First and foremost, if they ARE on your kitchen counter, hopefully they are laying down. Did you ever wonder why wine racks are always at a convenient little angle? It’s not so that you can see the label but rather to maintain moisture on the cork. If the bottle’s cork becomes to dry air is able to penetrate the bottle thus ruining your wine. Have you ever opened a bottle and thought “WOW, this sure does smell like wet cardboard!” That is never a good thing.

Champagne bottles are often stored, tucked within each other top to bottom this way. Some people will say that the punt creates an area for the sediment within the bottle to collect still others believe that the bottle sits better on an uneven surface if it has a punt. Next time you order a bottle of wine with dinner watch to see if your server uses the punt as a method for holding onto the bottle.

Second, what’s up with the bottom of the bottle? That concave area in the bottom of the bottle is called a Punt. There are a couple of different ideas as to what purpose it

Home decorating draws on your creative side, as well as your inner engineer. Everyone loves to dabble in home decorating because you get to play with color, texture and patterns.

Finding the furniture you want is important, so is planning the space ahead of time. Your decorating is sure to be an absolute delight!

As a home decorator, you never know when you’ll need to create some magic. Here’s a tip: Pack a portable carry-all filled with the must-haves of the trade. Purchase a tool Kit, tackle box, bucket or basket and fill it with items you may need. Glue guns can be used for a variety of projects, a hammer and a nail kit that includes a big selection for different

jobs, measuring tape, screwdriver and screws, Velcro and wire. Also including a notebook for sketching and note-taking is a great idea.

These items will ensure you are well prepared, regardless of what you are imagining.

Decorating your home requires lots of measurements. You need to know whether furniture will fit where you want it, how wide and long windows are for adding window treatments, and how much paint you will need.

Being a math wizard is not required. Here are a few simple tricks: • Find your room’s overall square footage by multiplying the rooms’ length by its width and squaring it (this is the area). You need this number for determining if furniture will fit in the room and for estimating quantities and prices.

• Determine how many gallons of paint you will need for your ceiling by measuring your floors length and width, multiplying them, and then squaring the numbers. Divide that number by the spreading rate located on the can.

• E stablish how many gallons of paint you will need for your walls by adding the areas of the ceiling and walls. Divide that figure by the spreading rate located on the can. Be sure that if you are going from light to dark, double that amount for a second coat. Also, if your surface is porous, you may need 25 to 50 percent more paint. Ask the paint pros at C.B. Browns for advice.

textures

building home

If your room is small, paint with cool, light colors. Light, cool colors make walls seem to fade away into the distance, making rooms seem more spacious. Cover big spaces in a cozy, warm, confident color. Dark walls make walls seem closer. For the best results, pick neutral colors that you’ll never grow tired of and add accent walls in more vibrant colors.

Bold, colorful shades are good accent wall paint colors because they accentuate a space without overpowering it. Whether you are trying to define a living space or spotlight a treasured piece of artwork, an accent wall can create a striking, unique design element.

•B e sure to include ‘breathing room’ between pieces of furniture to avoid clutter.

Color, patterns and textures are the stylistic building blocks of your home. You use these three elements to create the style, mood and feel of each room in your home.

Mixing patterns such as checks with floral or large-scale patterns with small-scale patterns makes your space playful and unique. You can place patterns everywhere! Put the same pattern on the walls, windows and furnishings. Just not sure when enough is enough? Use three different patterns that contrast in scale but relate in color.

Now you are ready to get started! Take a few minutes beforehand to plan your projects. Planning ahead will save you time, money and a whole lot of aggravation down the road. Formulate an action plan by establishing goals, setting priorities and deciding which rooms you want finished and in what order. The easiest way for you to imagine your space is to sketch one by hand on paper. This gives you a good idea of where you want things. And lastly, it’s time to shop!

CB Browns stocks a large selection of tools, flooring, furniture and accessories for quick delivery. Buy major pieces of furniture first and accessories last.

The theme of your decor can be fulfilled with a few decorative pieces. Doing it at the final stage of decorating would be perfect.

It will complete the whole plan and give the reflection of your true personality.

Once you determine your style, pick accessories that you love. Pillows, area rugs, throw blankets and mirrors all add dramatic changes to your room. Consider adding lamps where you have none. Colorful artistic pieces can brighten your day when you see them.

Even something as simple as fresh cut flowers and fruit displayed on a beautiful dining table adds a simple beauty.

Islands of the Caribbean It’s Worth the Trip

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

The Caribbean is a region that consists of the Caribbean Sea, its islands, and the surrounding coasts.

The region is southeast of the Gulf of Mexico and the North American mainland, east of Central America, and north of South America.

Flora and fauna (flowers and animals) are in abundance and wide variety. Dry and moist forests, savannas and mangrove swamps are what cover the lands that are not used by the natives for living on. Many beautiful flowers make their home here; for instance the Bwa Kwaib is the national flower of Dominica, the Bougainvillea of Grenada and the Heliconia of Montserrat. Fruit trees can also be found all over the place: like the mango, papaya, orange, banana, guava, pineapple, tamarind and watermelon.

Some of the wildlife in this region are endangered

species and as such, are protected by the respective governments of each island. Hunting is permitted, but only at certain times of the year, with the agouti (rodent), iguana, manicou (opossum) among others being hunted. Animals like the manatee (sea cow), Bahamian hutia and Aruba Island Rattlesnake are outright protected from being harmed.

The main festival that locals and tourists partake of, throughout most of the Caribbean isles would be Carnival. This explosion of color, energy and fun takes place in Dominican Republic, Antigua, Jamaica, St. Kitts and Nevis and Barbados. This festival is varied in the different territories, but one thing remains true.

The colorful, lovely costumes and fun! The carnival is the final big party before the penitential season of Lent begins.

Islands of the Caribbean Other activities are carried out, with most bearing similarities to Carnival. Crop Over Festival in Barbados, Tumba Festival in Curaçao and even St. Patrick’s Day in Montserrat are hosted throughout the year. All of which carry deep historical significance.

Interesting Fact: Did you know there is a species of oyster in the West Indies that can climb (mangrove) trees!

So let’s visit Montego Bay, Jamaica Montego Bay, better known as MoBay, is encased in mountaintop jungles and edged in miles and miles of tropical beaches. Jamaica's "Second City" is where most Jamaica visitors arrive by air, landing at ultra-modern Sir Donald Sangster International Airport. Older sections of MoBay look pretty much like they did two centuries ago.

Sightseeing musts include the 18th century plantations, restored Great Houses revealing the splendor of planter digs.

Antigua, largest of the Leeward Islands and for centuries a major base of Britain's Royal Navy, boasts some of the world's most beautiful beaches and yachting options.

As befits a major yachting center, Antigua stages an annual sailing (or race) week. That's when locals and visitors mix strong drink with wild and sometimes silly sailing and competitions, followed by a get-down-anddirty Caribbean "jump up."

The picturesque capital, St John's, is worth a visit just to see the obscenely expensive world-class yachts that dot a harbor backed by gloriously beautiful hills. Famous celebrities have been known to chill out in English Harbor, Antigua.

One of the most famous ships to anchor at English Harbor is the 74-ft square-rigged topsail schooner named St Peter, better known today as The Black Pearl in the Johnny Depp movie, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl.

Interesting Fact: Jamaica is the largest English-speaking island in the Caribbean and it has 120 rivers.

The main activities in Antigua include sailing, scuba diving, windsurfing, deep-sea fishing, yachting, snorkeling, golf, and horse riding. And what a setting!

The hills all around are alive with flowers and "figs," the local name for bananas.

And of course the distillery near MoBay produces Jamaica's famed Appleton rum. The sugar cane ingredient for choice rum is grown in Jamaica's rich soils.

The lush rainforests of Jamaica and its green valleys are not to be missed.

Barbuda is famous for its incredibly wonderful beaches.

The island is about 30 miles north of Antigua.

In the mood for another historic great house? Then head for Good Hope, where you can admire the restored splendor of its huge glass hurricane lamps. Good Hope's hilltop location offers a spectacular view of the Caribbean.

East of Falmouth is a place called Rock and known for its phosphorescent lagoon. If there is no rain and the moon is out and bright, you can see microscopic protozoa that reflect a magical light that makes an unforgettable display of phosphorescent colors.

And now on to Antigua and Barbuda

Perhaps Antigua and sister islands are so beautiful they drive men crazy. In any case, you might want to include a crown in your suitcase. At the very least, go live like a king in a tropical paradise.

Interesting Fact: Antigua has 365 beaches, one for each day of the year

Next Stop, the exciting ABC Islands (Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao) Aruba is a 20 mile long island of the Lesser Antilles in the southern Caribbean Sea, located 17 miles north of the coast of Venezuela. Together with Bonaire and Curacao, it forms a group referred to as the ABC islands of the

Islands of the Caribbean Leeward Antilles, the southern island chain of the Lesser Antilles. Collectively, Aruba and the other Dutch islands in the Antilles are commonly referred to as the Netherlands Antilles or the Dutch Antilles.

Unlike much of the Caribbean region, Aruba has a dry climate and an arid, cactus-strewn landscape. This climate has helped tourism as visitors to the island can reliably expect warm, sunny weather. It has a land area of 69.1 square mi. Plus it lies outside the hurricane belt.

Bonaire Bonaire has a land area of 111 square miles, lies outside the hurricane belt, and is served by Flamingo International Airport. The island is ringed by a coral reef which is easily accessible from the shore along the Western and Southern sides. Furthermore, the entire coastline of the island has been declared a marine sanctuary, preserving local fish life. Montastraea annularis (Boulder Star Coral) was the most common coral during recent surveys.

The coral reef around uninhabited Klein Bonaire is particularly well preserved, and it draws divers, snorkelers, and boaters. Bonaire also has several coral reefs where seahorses can be found.

Bonaire is also famed for its flamingo populations and its donkey sanctuary. Flamingos are drawn to the brackish water, which harbors the shrimp upon which they feed. Starting in the 16th century, the Dutch raised sheep, goats, pigs, horses and donkeys on Bonaire, and the descendants of the goats and donkeys roam the island today, with a small population of pigs roaming as well.

Curacao Curacao has a tropical savannah with a dry season from January to September and a wet season from October to December. The temperatures are relatively constant with small differences throughout the year. The trade winds bring cooling during the day and the same trade winds bring warming during the night. The coldest month is January with an average temperature of 80 °F and the warmest month is September with an average

temperature of 84 °F. Coral reefs for snorkeling and scuba diving can be reached without a boat, with the southern coast having calm waters and therefore the majority of diving locations. The coastline of Curacao also features bays and inlets, where boats are moored.

Some of the coral reefs are affected by tourism. Porto Marie Beach is experimenting with artificial coral reefs in order to improve the reef's condition. Hundreds of artificial coral blocks that have been placed are now home to a large array of tropical fish.

And our final stop, Turks & Caicos The Turks and Caicos Islands are most well-known for ripsaw music. The islands are known for their annual Music and Cultural Festival showcasing many local talents and other dynamic performances by many music celebrities from around the Caribbean and United States Here you can find upscale resorts aimed at the wealthy, while a large new cruise ship port and recreation center has been built for the masses visiting Grand Turk. Turks and Caicos Islands are home to one of the longest coral reefs in the world, making it a premier diving destination.

Several Hollywood stars have built homes in the Turks and Caicos, including Dick Clark and Bruce Willis, plus many celebrities frequent the islands.

Interesting Fact: More ships cruise the Caribbean islands than any other region in the world.

There is so much to see and do in the various parts of the Caribbean, and should be on everyone’s bucket list.

Whether you plan to visit by land or by sea, you will experience the most beautiful variety of turquoise blue waters, and the friendliness of the locals of each island.

Plan, Enjoy and Relax in the Caribbean!

Day Trips With the hustle and bustle of a new school year already upon us, we often find ourselves trying to take a break. The weather is still gorgeous, and a fun little get-away close to home is just what is needed. These destinations are so close; you can pack a picnic and embark on a day journey! Play in the water, enjoy a hike, but mainly just unplug and enjoy this beautiful country around us!

Water Canyon Although there is no water in Water Canyon, Nevada Outdoor School along with numerous volunteers and the BLM have made this campground extremely family friendly. Many interpretive hiking trails are marked along the way, and most of them are pretty easy walking so everyone can enjoy them.

The campground areas are perfect for BBQ’ing. It’s close to town, so you can invite everyone up to enjoy the afternoon!

**From the post office in Winnemucca, drive up Hanson Street until the stop sign. From the stop sign (Highland Park) drive up Water Canyon Road. You will continue past the cattle guard and water tanks. Continuing up the dirt road, you will end up in Water Canyon. The first campground is just a few miles past the cattle guard. If you continue going straight on the dirt road, there are several other campground spaces along the way. Enjoy!

Kyle Hot Springs Taking time out to soak your tired body in a natural hot springs is about the most relaxing time you can find yourself enjoying! Nevada has several natural hot springs, but Kyle Hot Springs is close enough from Winnemucca that you can head out there for the afternoon! The natural allure of hot springs has always called to us, but please use caution and remember that you are entering at your own risk. **From Winnemucca, head west on I-80 towards Reno. At the exit for Unionville (there is the Star Point Trading Post), head down Hwy 400 for about 17 miles. There, the pavement will end and you will have a choice to either turn right and go to Unionville, or continue going straight towards Kyle Hot Springs. You will make a turn on Kyle Hot Springs Road. Relax in the water!

Hinkey Summit This adventure has so much beauty in it that you may not soon forget it. Traveling just out of the small town of Paradise Valley, the breathtaking beauty of the Santa Rosa Mountains quickly overtakes you. The beautiful wildflowers all shimmer in the sunshine, the huge mountain peaks and of course the amazing geological feature of the drive---the hole! It’s a large, round hole in the middle of a mountain, truly something to see! Just a few more miles, and you run into the Lye Creek Campground which has developed

39

september 2013 | everythingwinnemucca.com

campground areas as well as a group picnic area. Continue out of the mountains, and you find yourself back on Highway 95. From there, you head back to Winnemucca making a huge circle for the day. **From Winnemucca, head North on Hwy 95 until you reach the gas station at Paradise Hill. Taking a right, you continue towards the town of Paradise Valley. Once in Paradise Valley, you will proceed to the stop sign, take a right over the small bridge, and then an immediate left (following the signs) to this wonderful destination.

Martin Creek

Rye Patch

This stream works its way through the Santa Rosa Mountain Range for approximately 48 miles before ending near Paradise Valley. This is a wonderful area to have a picnic and let the kids swim! The water is delightful! Fishing is also an option, but usually not as good during the heat of the summer. It picks up again in the early fall. Now is the perfect time to enjoy this little gem in Paradise!

This State Recreation Area is only a 45 minute drive from Winnemucca. This area has fishing, boating, swimming, BBQ’ing, camping and lots of sunshine! You do have to pay a small day fee to utilize the services, but once inside, well worth it! As soon as you pass the pay booth, you can turn left and are taken down to the outskirts of the dam. A creek, a grassy area for picnicking and also a hiking trail are all present. If you continue going straight past the pay booth, you drive over Rye Patch Dam and are taken to the other side where the boat launch is.

This is also a great area for fishing, swimming and just enjoying your day. Go explore!

**From Winnemucca, head North on Hwy 95 until you reach the gas station at Paradise Hill. Taking a right, you continue towards the town of Paradise Valley. Once in Paradise Valley, you will proceed to the stop sign, take a right over the small bridge and continue on that road. When the pavement ends, you will have the option to turn left onto Martin Creek Road.

Following that through a few small ranches, you will come upon your destination.

**From Winnemucca, take I-80 west towards Reno.

Approximately 45 miles from town, you will take the Rye Patch exit. At the stop sign, continue right, and about 1 mile down, you will find the pay booth.

All of these places are easy driving, so a rigid 4 wheel drive vehicle is not necessary. Please be prepared for an emergency, as most of these places do not offer cell phone service. Enjoy your day, and remember to leave no trace!

Stay Healthy Tips Contributed by Donna LaCasse of A and H Insurance, 775-623-5555

These days, you may feel overwhelmed with all the health information available to you.

However, there are really only a few basic tips to keep in mind for your optimal health. Follow these simple suggestions and you should be well on your way to living a happy and healthy life! Over the next couple of months we will be giving you these tips. This month’s tips:

Eat Healthy Your body needs the right vitamins, minerals and other nutrients to stay in good shape. A healthy diet means you are eating fruits, vegetables, whole grains, low-fat milk products, fish, poultry, lean meats, eggs, beans and nuts. Stay away from cholesterol-laden items, excessive sodium and added sugars. It is also important to avoid trans and saturated fats.

A healthy diet can protect you from heart disease, bone loss, Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and some cancers, such as colorectal cancer. Making small changes in your eating habits can make a big difference in your life. Here are some tips and tools to get you started: •K eep a food diary. Knowing what you eat will help you to make changes. Starting today, write down when you eat, as well as what, how much, where and how you feel when you eat (for instance: 3:30 p.m., two cookies, at work, feeling stressed).

Identifying your eating habits can help you make changes.

Get Moving

• Plan ahead. If you plan your meals for the week, you can save time and money.

Build physical activity into your life. Start at a comfortable level, and once you get the hang of it, add a little more activity each time you exercise. You should include aerobic activity as well as strengthening exercises (sit-ups, push-ups and weightlifting). Physical activity increases your chances of living longer; helps control your blood pressure, blood sugar and weight; raises your “good” cholesterol; and can prevent heart disease, colorectal cancer and Type 2 diabetes.

• Shop smart at the grocery store. The next time you need to go shopping, eat a snack beforehand. Always use a shopping list and choose 100 percent whole wheat or whole grain bread and crackers. Buy a variety of colorful fruits and vegetables.

• Read the nutrition facts label. Look at the serving size, and try to keep saturated fat, trans fat, cholesterol and sodium at 5 percent of your recommended daily value (DV) or less. Select foods that have 20 percent or more DV of fiber, iron, calcium, potassium, and vitamins A and C. • Eat healthy away from home. Choose fatfree or low-fat milk, water or diet drinks.

Opt for steamed, broiled or grilled dishes, and ask for your dressing or sauce to be “on the side.”

Aim for 2 hours and 30 minutes of activity each week. If you don’t have time for 30 minutes of exercise at one time, get moving for shorter 10-minute periods throughout the day.

• Cook at home. This will save you a lot of money – and calories!

september 2013 | everythingwinnemucca.com

Watch Your Weight To stay at a healthy weight, you need to balance the calories you eat with the calories you burn. To lose weight, you need to burn more calories than you eat. A healthy diet and physical activity can help you reach your goal. It is also important to eat smaller portions, which can be accomplished with the following: • Eat small, healthy snacks throughout the day, such as baby carrots or a handful of unsalted almonds.

This will keep you from overeating at mealtimes.

• E at slowly – this will give you more time to feel full.

•D on’t eat in front of the TV. It’s harder to keep track of how much you are eating.

If you’re overweight, the first step in getting healthy is to make a promise to yourself to eat better, move more, and get support from family and friends. Try losing 1 to 2 pounds per week. Don’t know if you’re overweight? Calculate your body mass index, or BMI, at www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi.

• Serve food on smaller plates.

• If you are at a restaurant, consume only half your meal and take the rest home.

Massaging Animals Pampering your companions Animal massage has grown considerably in the United States since its emergence within the horse community in the 1960s and 1970s.

It was on the racetracks and in the stables that famed sports massage therapist Jack Meagher and others like Linda Tellington-Jones helped massage become a valuable component

55

september 2013 | everythingwinnemucca.com

of equestrian care, while also unveiling the hands-on work to a broader animal advocate population. The field has evolved significantly since that time, with animal therapists now offering everything from acupressure to energy work to hydrotherapy.

Despite their place in ancient Greek and Arabic equestrian traditions, animal therapies continue to fight for a place in the massage community today.

Still, a growing number of massage and bodywork practitioners are working with animals, big and small, in everything from zoos to living rooms around the world.

The legitimacy human

The legitimacy human massage has earned over the last decade has no doubt been a boon for animal massage as well. "People have started to understand that massage can help their animals in so many ways," says Barbara Maciejewski, who became involved with the animal massage program at the Boulder College of Massage Therapy (BCMT) in 2003. "There's great acceptance--word is out there now."

massage as well.

Just as education is key to creating a knowledgeable human client base, a critical component for making animal massage successful is educating people why it's important. "As a society, we still view companion animals as lesser beings," says Skya Fisher, owner of Cat Paws Massage in Bellingham, Washington.

"We breed them for characteristics that we think are cute. Simultaneously, we ignore their emotional, social, and sometimes physical needs."

A Yoga Experience Contributed by Rae Edwards We come into the world lacking the skills necessary to survive.

Well, actually, we do have our voice and babies use that voice quite effectively in motivating the adults in their lives to provide nutrition and relieve discomfort.

In fact, the louder my babies would scream, the faster I worked towards resolving their issues.

The slower I moved, the louder they would scream. I was trained well by my seemingly helpless little bundles of joy. And so from day one, infants learn to reach outside themselves for survival and comfort. Fulfillment of their needs helps infants gain a sense of control and self-worth.

As my children became more and more independent, they got my attention for reasons other than

57

september 2013 | everythingwinnemucca.com

physical survival. If one of them would begin to whine for my attention, I found that if I reacted right away to help solve the problem, they would calm down.

Sometimes all that’s needed is a quiet hug while rocking in a favorite chair. Children can easily be distracted from their original dilemma if they are calm. If I ignored them, however, their cries would only get louder and more demanding and it wouldn’t be long before World War I-toddler style had begun.

I tend to treat my muscles, bones, ligaments, organs, etc. as I did my children. If any part of my body is nudging me for attention, I immediately stop and pay attention to the ache or pain that is calling to me. I have learned the

hard way that if I ignore the aches and pains, within a week, I would be looking for some really strong medicine and a bed to rest in.

In my late twenties and early thirties, I had episodes of severe back pain. With the first few attacks, I would run around madly getting the kids cared for, dinners cooked ahead, laundry done and errands run as soon as I began to feel the pain. You see, I knew that soon I would be unable to move so I had better be prepared. The result was a week in the hospital on pain meds and in traction.

It only took three of these episodes for me to realize that I had been handling this all wrong.

I never said I was a quick study.

"Yoga teaches us to take care of our bodies in a conscious and caring way. Our bodies learn to trust us as caregivers..."

What if I had stopped at the first sign of pain and took care of myself instead of everyone else.

My goodness, what a concept!

Well, I began to do just that and it made a world of difference. I have learned to listen to my body when it’s unhappy and telling me to stop. I take a breath and attend to the problem area. Just as my babes did years ago, my muscles relax and calm as I focus on them.

At the beginning of each yoga class, we do a breathing exercise to quiet our minds. We follow that with a ‘body scan’. We stand in “tadasana” (mountain pose), close our eyes, and go inside to ask our bodies how they are. Each student in turn gives a brief accounting (just one word) of what their body told them. Many times students express tension in a particular part of their body that they were unaware of until they consciously tuned in. This information lets me know how to run class. If the majority has shoulder issues, we’ll practice poses designed to relieve upper body tension. If only one person is complaining of his/her shoulders, I will include some poses to address the issue and make sure modifications are made so as not to exacerbate the problem. Lower backs seem to require lots of attention. When I hear students complaining of stress in this area, we do a series of exercises intended to release tension and relieve pain.

If students are feeling slow and sluggish, we might do a more

energetic routine and conversely, if the energy is chaotic, a stress management practice might be in order.

So many of us have such busy lives, that when we wake up in the morning, we hit the floor running and don’t stop until our head hits the pillow at night. We completely ignore our body’s prod for attention. Prods then become screams in order to get our attention. No wonder chronic pain and chronic fatigue are such common diagnoses. If I scream back at my pain, tension results, my body screams even louder and……you guessed it, World War I- adult style begins within my own body.

Yoga teaches us to take care of our bodies in a conscious and caring way. Our bodies learn to trust us as caregivers (just as our children do) and the outcome is a healthy relationship between body, mind and spirit.

I invite you to make some time for yourself. Find a comfortable chair and close your eyes. Take several deep breaths and scan your body for tense areas and also any areas which are open and relaxed. Look thoroughly from head to toe and trust the information that you might receive. Consciously breathe into the areas of tension and become an observer rather than a doer. You are simply directing your breath and then watching the process. It’s truly amazing how focusing with our

breath will encourage relaxation and peace. You also may approach this practice from the other direction. Find a place in your body which is already open and relaxed. Begin to breathe into the relaxed area and visualize the feeling of openness and peace spreading to other areas of your body. It may feel like a warm, slow spreading, healing liquid, spreading throughout your body, causing a sense of overall peace and well-being. Say to your body, “I see you. I hear you. I promise to take good care of you.” Watch the reaction.

You are invited to join us in yoga at my home studio Tues. /Thurs. /Sat. mornings at 9.

Look for my upcoming Great Basin College classes ‘Yoga for Weight Loss’, Mondays at 9 am and my 9-11 am Sat. Hatha Yoga class. As with any exercise or weight loss program, be sure to consult your physician before beginning.

Feel free to call me at 623-9697 for questions, concerns or to sign up for a class.

Makeover your

Metabolism!

Contributed by Nature’s Corner

Weight loss is more than just the calories you take in, and it’s more than just looking good. Your relationship with weight is about who you are, and where you’ve been.

Take control of your life, get to know which foods nourish your body, and start living!

Most of us can stick to a strict diet for a while, perhaps long enough to see some results. But over time the hunger pangs, boredom with restrictive food choices, and cravings for the foods we miss get the best of us. Then it’s back to our old eating habits and the weight comes right back. So we try again with the latest fad diet. But that gnawing pit in our stomach remains and the frustrating “yo-yo” like cycle of weight loss followed by weight gain repeats itself. For most of us, this is the reality of weight loss dieting. But it doesn’t have to be.

Looking for something effective?

Here are some tips: • True weight loss must come from fat loss while protecting muscle.

• Eating whole, unprocessed foods is essential for good health and for a successful transformation to a new way of eating.

• Nutrition and exercise support is vital for success. Plan this journey with a partner or your best friend.

• Food allergies can cause weight gain and pinpointing reactions to specific foods is key to learning how and why you gain weight.

• Meaningful weight loss takes time and is the result of deep personal growth and sustainable lifestyle changes. You didn’t put on that weight overnight; it won’t come off overnight either.

Eating a balanced diet that largely consists of plants and fresh whole foods is one of the most powerful things you can do to improve your health.

Consuming large amounts of processed foods is a high risk factor for heart disease, cancer, diabetes, auto-immune illnesses, atherosclerosis, and many more common sicknesses. If you would like to start feeling better, consider that over 65% of your diet should come from unprocessed fruits, berries, vegetables, raw seeds, nuts and mushrooms and roughly a third should consist of unprocessed proteins and starches. Eat meats in moderation as well as fresh or frozen low-mercury seafood and shellfish. Eliminate foods that are packaged or processed. If it comes in a container, plastic bag or box, do your best to avoid it. Use only natural sweeteners sparingly. Products like local honey and maple sugar are better than refined sugars. Choose sea salt rather than refined salt. And don’t forget to drink plenty of water!

Once you have an exercise habit, it becomes automatic. Don’t break the habit! The easiest way to keep things going is simply not to stop.

Make a commitment to go every day (even for just 20 minutes) for one month. This will solidify the exercise habit. Try and make it fun. If you aren’t enjoying yourself, it’s going to be hard to keep it a habit. Winnemucca offers several different programs, so you are sure to find something that suits your tastes!

What do you do when you are stressed? Chances are it isn’t running. But exercise can be a great way to relieve stress, releasing endorphins which will improve your mood. The next time you feel stressed or tired; try doing an exercise you enjoy. When stress relief is linked to exercise, it is easy to regain the habit, even after a leave of absence.

Healthy sleep patterns are vital for your overall health. You see, the body has a cycle that it follows when it comes to healing itself, balancing hormones and everything else that rejuvenates us. ‘Making up” the sleep that you miss all week on the weekends will not fix the problem. You will not get back the nourishment that you loose from missing valuable sleep and healing time.

This process can be easy!!

Do You Really Need Life Insurance?

Life insurance isn’t just for married couples with children. The need for life insurance is much broader. “Anybody who would experience a financial loss or an emotional loss after a death will need some type of life insurance,” says Marvin Feldman, president and CEO of the Life and Health Insurance Foundation for Education.

Who is it for?

Having dependents of any kind necessitates life insurance. Here are examples: • Unmarried couples. Unmarried individuals may have a significant other who relies on their support. Life insurance can help provide for them.

• Stay-at-home spouses. Life insurance isn’t just for breadwinners. It can help cover the cost of replacing the services of stay-athome parents.

• Single parents. These individuals are typically the sole source of support for their children. Life insurance can help provide for children financially should their parent die.

61

september 2013 | everythingwinnemucca.com

• S ingles. Single individuals could be responsible for aging parents or may have significant debt. “Life insurance helps make sure those debts are paid,” Feldman says.

• Retirees. Insurance can help replace income from part-time work, Social Security benefits, pensions or other employer benefits. It helps spouses continue living as they’re accustomed.

• Empty nesters. Older adults may have custody of a grandchild or provide support for other family members. Life insurance may help this care to continue.

• Business owners. Life insurance has many benefits for business owners, such as helping protect family members from taking on a person’s professional debt, or providing funds for survivors to buy out the deceased's interest.

What can it cover?

Are there additional benefits?

Beyond paying for final expenses, loved ones can put these death benefits toward:

Some policies also offer living benefits.

Whole policies and universal life policies accumulate value that can be tapped as retirement income or used to help cover unexpected expenses. Universal life policies also may have riders allowing chronically ill policyholders to withdraw the face amount during their lifetimes to help cover longterm care costs or to prepare loved ones financially before passing. Decide which type of policy best suits your needs.

• Paying off debt • Financing an education • Settling estate taxes • Contributing to charity • Creating an inheritance • Replacing income • Replacing employer benefits

Life’s even better when you get your premium back.

Tommy the Safety Cat

+ +

Tommy the Safety Cat: Bloody Noses Bloody noses are a problem no matter what the season and after speaking with The Hemophilia Foundation of Nevada when they were in Winnemucca this July, Tommy the Safety Cat has been busy spreading the message to children and their parents about how to effectively treat a bloody nose.

With a bloody nose it is important never to lie down or tip your head backwards. The reason for this is that the blood from the nosebleed will flow down to the stomach and make you feel sick or go into the lungs and cause problems like pneumonia. Instead, sit upright and tilt your head forward only slightly. Pinching the bottom of the nose closed with a tissue will help the blood begin to clot. Pressure can also be applied on the bridge of the nose (for no more than 10 minutes) for stubborn nose bleeds.

Tommy certainly gets excited about this part! It is the very best way to slow the nosebleed (and it is yummy‌). Tommy knows that applying ice will constrict blood vessels, slowing down blood flow.

The best place to apply ice for a nosebleed is through the mouth (the cold goes through the roof of the mouth directly to the bleeding in the nasal area), so an ice pop (in your favorite flavor of course), will do the trick. Tommy’s Mom uses the ice pops that come in their own little plastic packet as it protects the ice pop from any blood that could drip from the nose.

Many people get nosebleeds from time to time, but nosebleeds that happen very frequently or that last longer than 20 minutes may not be normal. The Hemophilia Foundation of Nevada has information that may help with those types of nosebleeds and can be contacted at: 702.564.4368.

The New Year…in September?

Contributed by Better Health LLC.

Fall has a certain rhythm. The kids are back in school. The nights are a bit cooler. Your sports team may be back in action. Leagues are starting. You might be thinking about fall car maintenance or some fall planting.

It almost feels like a new year.

A new year brings with it a pleather of possibilities. USA.gov publishes a list of popular New Year’s Resolutions. If you are rolling your eyes, maybe you want to think of resolutions as positive change or simply meeting a goal. Why September? The kids get a fresh start and so do your favorite spots teams. Maybe it’s time for you to consider one of the USA.gov popular New Year’s Resolutions this September.

69

september 2013 | everythingwinnemucca.com

• Drink Less Alcohol

• Get a Better Job

• Manage Stress

• Save Money

• Eat Healthy Food

• Get Fit

• Quit Smoking

• Take a Trip

• Get a Better Education

• Lose Weight

• Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle

• Volunteer to Help Others

• Manage Debt

What if you have tried before? What might make this time different? How can you succeed?

Life coaches encourage clients to move forward on their own terms. A popular way to make this happen is to create goals and then make them easier. If you want to take a trip and you decide that you should save $100 each month for your trip, consider $10 a week instead. Make the goals a gentle stretch and you are more likely to achieve them.

Find your rhythm this September. You could achieve your goal BEFORE the New Year!

You’ve heard it before, but find a buddy to help keep you on track. Are you missing your morning workouts? Commit to meet a friend for your early morning workout and you will be far more likely to show up.

BETTER HEALTH LLC

Think about ways you can reward yourself that won’t break the bank. Maybe you want to see a movie, buy a new issue of your favorite magazine, spend some time at the shooting range with some of your buddies, or buy that slightly more expensive coffee treat. How about taking time out for a new fall television show, meeting a friend for a walk, or taking your furry friend out for some fresh air.

Finally, you can hire a professional. Winnemucca has many options including personal trainers, dieticians, weight loss center experts, counselors, and countless other professionals.

In the spirit of "Back to School" I'm am ready to do some more "Grading"! These Pinterest projects were put to the test and they all scored very high.

Scentsy Cheat: Make your house smell like fresh laundry. Snag some Downey UN-stopables and sprinkle into your Scentsty plug ins and your house will smell amazing. There are several different scents in stores and when you are ready to change the scent, they pop out of the Scentsty very easily. Pretty darn easy if you ask me. A+

Gift for a Friend: Wrap an apron inside a mason jar and attach a recipe on it for a quick and unique gift. I found coordinating ribbon and wrapping paper to tie it all together. So adorable! A+

Glitter Magnets:

This project was a little more time consuming but a blast for the kiddos. You will need to find flat clear flat back 'marbles', E6000 glue‌.the mother of all glues, glitter, a paint brush, varnish, and little helpers (the kids). Put a dab of glue on the flat side of your marble and then dip or sprinkle glitter onto it. You can keep the colors solid or mix it up a bit, get creative. It needs to dry for at least three hours and then you can put your varnish right over the glitter. I actually let that dry overnight and then glued the magnets onto the backs with the E6000.

going for), then use your wire and secure the middle. Start pulling and un folding to create your desired shape, but be careful as the tissue paper tears very easily. You can also trim your paper before you start the stacking process to make different sizes. These really add a wow factor to any party, and the color choices are endless. A+

B+ because it did require some time and the smell of the glue lingered in my house for hours.

Party Decor: Take tissue paper and lay tissues on top of one another and then fold like a fan. Take a pair of scissors and cut both ends after it is folded, (cut into a point or a half circles, depending on what look you are september 2013 | everythingwinnemucca.com
