Wine of the Month 

Red Schooner 

From the Wagner Family of Wines comes 

a Malbec that endures a great adventure 

long before it is ever bottled. You see, 

the rules of labeling a wine state that 

the winemaker must include things such 

as where the grapes were grown i.e., 

Viticulture Area or Appellation of Origin. 

The label must also contain a “Country 

of Origin” as per the U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection. What tends to be 

very vague though, in some wines, is the 

vintage date or rather the date that the 

wine was bottled. Society has led us to 

believe that “wine gets better with age”. 

For many wines this is true but for most 

them, NOW is the time to enjoy! 

Red Schooner grapes are grown in the 

Andes Mountains and then shipped, 

chilled, to the Napa Valley where the 

Wagner family then produces the wine 

by using the same methods that they use 

to produce Caymus Cabernet. This long 

boat ride extends the wine making 

process for this juice and therefore 

becomes a major factor in the result. 

Red Schooner Voyage 5 is made 

with the grapes of the fifth long trek 

from South American to California 

and while the wine maker see this 

as a 2014 Vintage, the consumer 

sees it as the 5th bottling of a 

successful mix of import grape 

and domestic style! With a 

tangled scent of plums and 

cherries, this wine is bold and 

dominant.

Contact: eitartist@frontier.com 

A true Nevadan all the way down to her roots, 

Ellen Irene Bliss Tervort, was born and raised 

in Ruth Nevada. Her parents were from Fallon 

Nevada and there are relatives scattered all over 

Nevada. She started drawing at an early age 

and then, as a young mother, living in isolated 

rural ranch land, she drew cartoon characters 

to entertain her children. Her influences and 

appreciation of art further developed when a 

friend from high school put a paintbrush in her 

hand and her husband gave her an oil painting 

kit for Christmas in 1962. Now she works in oils 

and charcoal pencils. 

Ellen’s inspiration comes from her life 

experiences in Nevada wild lands, with her 

husband working and living on a large ranch 

in Lovelock Nevada and later moving to Sierra 

Valley on an extension of that ranch, located 

near Loyalton California 35 miles from Reno. 

Always living and loving the cowboy way of life, 

Ellen’s unique light-filled paintings are focused 

on majestic landscape, authentic western 

culture, portraiture, horses, ranch work, and 

Nevada wildlife. Ellen’s extensive career as an 

artist includes many portrait commissions of 

dogs, prize horses, and people.

Guinness and Onion Soup 

with Irish Cheddar Crouton 

Recipe & photo courtesy of foodnetwork.com 

Ingredients: 

• 1 cup whole milk 

• 1 large egg 

• 1 cup frozen chopped spinach, 

defrosted and squeezed dry 

• 1/3 cup loosely packed 

chopped chives 

Toppings: 

• 4 fried eggs 

• 2 cups prepared corned beef hash 

• 1 cup flour 

• 1 teaspoon baking powder 

• Kosher salt and black pepper 

• 1 cup grated sharp Cheddar cheese 

• 1-2 tablespoons butter 

• 2 TBSP chopped chives 

Preparation: 

Blend the milk, egg, spinach, chives, flour, baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 

and a few grinds of black pepper in a blender on medium-high, scraping down sides 

occasionally, until mixed and bright green. Transfer to a bowl and stir in the cheese. 

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and add about 1 teaspoon of butter to 

the pan, heat through until foaming subsides. Ladle about 1/4 cup of the batter onto 

the skillet; use the back of your ladle or a spoon to spread it slightly. Pour 1 or 2 more 

pancakes, taking care to keep them evenly spaced apart. Cook until the top is set and 

starting to bubble, and the undersides are browned and crisp at the edges, 2 to 3 

minutes. Flip and cook another 2 minutes on the second side adjusting the heat if the 

cakes are browning before the cakes fully set. Serve warm. Repeat with the remaining 

batter, makes 8 to 10 pancakes. 

To serve pancakes, transfer 2 pancakes to each plate, top with 1/2 cup 

corned beef hash, a fried egg and a sprinkling of chives. 

Ingredients: 

• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 

• 5 cloves minced garlic 

• 8 cups thinly sliced onions 

• Gray salt 

• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, 

chopped 

• 1/4 cup sherry vinegar 

• 1 1/2 cups dark beer 

(recommended: Guinness) 

• 6 cups beef stock 

• 6 slices country bread cut 

1/2-inch thick, toasted 

• 1/2 pound Irish Cheddar, 

sliced thin 

Preparation: 

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add garlic and cook briefly to release 

aroma. Add onions, season with salt and cook for about 5 minutes stirring often. 

Reduce heat to low and cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally until the 

onions are golden brown. Add the thyme, vinegar, and beer. Reduce beer by half and 

add the beef stock. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 more minutes. 

Preheat the broiler. Transfer soup to an ovenproof serving dish or individual ovenproof 

soup bowls. Top with toasted bread slices and sliced Cheddar. Broil until cheese melts 

and starts to brown slightly. Serve piping hot. 

Chocolate Stout Cupcakes 

Recipe & photo courtesy of foodnetwork.com 

Corned Beef & Cabbage Egg Rolls 

with Homemade Beer Mustard 

Recipe and photo courtesy of cookingandbeer.com 

Ingredients: 

• 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa, plus 

more for dusting finished cupcakes 

• 2 cups sugar 

• 2 cups all-purpose flour 

• 1 teaspoon baking soda 

• Pinch fine salt 

• 1 bottle stout beer 

(recommended: Guinness) 

• 1 stick butter, melted 

• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract 

• 3 large eggs 

• 3/4 cup sour cream 

• 1 (8-oz) package cream cheese, 

softened at room temperature 

• 3/4 to 1 cup heavy cream 

• 1 (1-lb) box confectioners' sugar 

Preparation: 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cocoa, sugar, 

flour, baking soda, and salt. In another medium mixing bowl, combine the stout, 

melted butter, and vanilla. Beat in eggs, 1 at time. Mix in sour cream until thoroughly 

combined and smooth. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. 

Lightly grease 24 muffin tins. Divide the batter equally between muffin tins, filling 

each 3/4 full. Bake for about 12 minutes and then rotate the pans. Bake another 12 to 

13 minutes until risen, nicely domed, and set in the middle but still soft and tender. 

Cool before turning out. To make the icing: In a medium bowl with a hand mixer, beat 

the cream cheese on medium speed until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in the heavy 

cream. On low speed, slowly mix in the confectioners' sugar until incorporated and 

smooth. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use. Icing can be made 

several hours ahead and kept covered and chilled. 

Top each cupcake with a heap of frosting and dust with cocoa. 

Ingredients: 

BEER MUSTARD 

• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter 

• 1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds 

• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder 

• 1 cup brown ale beer 

• 2/3 cup honey mustard 

• 2 tablespoons sour cream 

Preparation: 

CORNED BEEF & CABBAGE EGG ROLLS 

• Canola or vegetable oil (for frying) 

• 1 lb deli-style corned beef, sliced 

into 2-inch x 1/2-inch strips 

• 1 1/2 cups shredded green cabbage 

• 8-10 oz sharp cheddar cheese, 

sliced into 2-inch x 1/2 inch strips 

• 12 egg rolls wrappers 

• Egg wash (1 egg whisked with 1T water) 

Beer Mustard: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter. Add the mustard seeds, onion 

powder and beer. Whisk to combine and simmer for 10 minutes or until the beer has 

reduced by half. Whisk in the mustard and continue cooking for about 4 minutes. 

Remove from heat and transfer to a container to cool. Once cool, whisk in the sour cream. 

Cover and place the beer mustard in the fridge until you are ready to serve. 

Corned Beef and Cabbage Egg Rolls: Pour the oil into a large pot or dutch oven until it 

reaches about an inch up the side of the pot. Heat it over medium heat to a temperature 

of 375 degrees F. While the oil is heating up, prepare your egg rolls. Starting with 1 

egg roll wrapper, place a few slices of corned beef, 1 slice of cheese, and about a TBSP 

or two of cabbage onto the lower 1/3 of the wrapper. Roll the egg roll up by rolling the 

ingredients into the wrapper away from you, fold in the sides about halfway through the 

roll, and then continue rolling until completely in tact. 

Taking a bit of egg wash, seal where necessary. Place it on a plate, and continue with 

the remaining egg roll wrappers. Once the oil is hot, add one of the egg rolls and fry for 

about 1 min. on each side. Do this first step with only one egg roll so that you know the 

oil is at the right temperature. Remove the egg roll from the oil, and transfer it to a plate 

that has been lined with a paper towel. Continue this step for the rest of the egg rolls. 

At this point, you may add 2-3 egg rolls at a time. Just make sure to not overcrowd 

the pan. Serve the egg rolls immediately with homemade beer mustard, and enjoy!

- Everyone has a story. Whats yours? - 

LANE DIEDRICHSEN 

- Owner of Pizza Barn - 

This week, I was able to sit down with 

Lane Diedrichsen. Lane has owned and 

operated Pizza Barn, at the Sunrise 

Shopping Center, for about thirty-five 

years…and boy, does he have some 

great experiences! 

Did you know that if Lane’s brother had 

been accepted into dentistry school, 

your kids may have never been able 

to ride the mechanical horse in the 

lobby while waiting for a slice? True 

story! Tell us about it, Lane! “Well, what got me into 

the pizza business was actually my twin brother. We 

grew up in the Reno area and our job, while attending 

the University of Nevada, was working at a pizza chain 

called Straw Hat. He was getting a BS in biology 

because he wanted to be a dentist, as my father was, 

and he wanted to take over my father’s practice when 

my he retired. But what happened was, when he got 

through with school he never got accepted into the 

actual dental school. It’s just hard to get in. So here he 

is, freshly graduated from UNR with a degree and he 

can’t get into dental school. He wasn’t sure what to 

do. So, in the meantime, he decided to shift towards 

a business degree while looking at becoming a shift 

supervisor at the pizza place he was working at. As 

this was happening (1976/77) in Fallon Nevada, there 

was a guy with a piece of property who wanted to 

put in a shopping center. And he wanted to put in 

a legitimate pizza restaurant because back in those 

days it was very rare to see chain restaurants in centers 

like that; everyone wanted mom and pop shops. So 

he went to everyone in the business within the Reno/ 

Truckee area, asking them to put in a pizza restaurant. 

Nobody had any desire to go out to Fallon. Finally, our 

boss from Straw Hat drove out there. 

He was impressed with the area but 

he already owned three restaurants 

in Reno, Sparks, and Carson City 

and just couldn’t manage another, 

especially that far out of Reno…but 

he told him that if he couldn’t find 

somebody he might have someone 

who could run a successful pizza 

business. He took my brother out 

to lunch and talked to him about 

opening up his own place. So we all went out there 

and built the first Pizza Barn in Fallon, in 1978. It 

went very well! In the meantime, I was teaching 8thgrade 

history at Sparks Jr. High School for two years 

before they gave me a call and asked if I wanted to 

join the family business because we’re thinking about 

expanding! Fast forward about three years and they 

wanted to build another restaurant. They didn’t want 

to go to the Reno/Sparks area because it was too 

“big” and already had a lot going on. So, it came 

down to either Elko or the Minden/Gardnerville area. 

And sure enough at that time, the Sunrise Shopping 

Center was being planned; we caught wind of it and 

contacted them about putting in a pizza business. 

They told us they already had a commitment from 

Round Table Pizza who had already put down a $2,500 

deposit. But when it finally came time to break ground 

on the shopping center, Round Table Pizza restaurants 

backed out to build a store in the Spanish Springs area 

of Sparks. So, they ate their deposit and the owners 

of the shopping center contacted us about moving in. 

We said yes and opened up in March of ’83.” 

Yes, that’s close to 35 years of slinging pies. What’s 

Pizza Barns secret to their longevity? “if you make a 


eally good pizza, you’re going to do really well. But 

we’ve always had this niche of being a family. We 

didn’t want to have any gaming in here. We didn’t 

really want to have a full liquor license; we wanted to 

be a family restaurant. And that’s what really helped 

us get established. If by word of mouth, people like 

you, the roots will get planted pretty deep. We’ve 

had to stay focused on what we wanted to be. We 

never wanted to be the “cheap” $5.99 pizza place; 

we leave that to someone else. We don’t deliver 

quick and speedy, no we take care of our families. 

That’s been our forte.” 

That’s fantastic and much needed in our community! 

But I now had two questions for Lane. After running 

this business for so long, question one… do you still 

enjoy doing what you do? “I actually enjoy working in 

the restaurant; I love the hands-on thing. Yesterday, 

I was rolling dough and our beer deliverer came 

in and he said it was really weird seeing the owner 

rolling the dough. I don’t just want to be the owner 

who comes in and does the banking, and sits at a 

desk…I actually enjoy working on Saturday nights 

with the kids (who keep me young). In any type of 

business, if you’re a small business owner, to own it 

you’ve got to live it! People would come up to me, 

especially in the beginning, and tell me how they 

wish they could be their own boss; it must be great 

to go out and play golf every day if you wanted to. 

And it’s true, I could go out and play golf five days a 

week. But, if I did that, I wouldn’t have been here for 

thirty years! You have to keep your fingers on it. And 

as long as I love coming down here and working, I 

will.” Question two…do you even still like pizza ? 

Aren’t you sick of it? “Friday is Tina (Lane’s wife) and 

mine’s pizza night! I’ve never gotten tired of pizza; I 

could eat pizza every day! And probably drink beer 

every day too.” 

Chicago is famous for their pizza. New York is 

famous for its pizza. But what is it like being in the 

pizza game in good ol’ Elko, Nevada? ” I love how 

caring the people of Elko are. But there was a guy 

who opened up a business next-door to us in the 

shopping center. And I noticed that he had been 

here for like a year and a half, going on two years, 

but he still had the Idaho plates on his car. He and 

his wife never really committed to Elko. He would 

always just say he’s waiting to see what happens and 

if the business takes off. But he never made the total 

investment in Elko; he never moved here and made 

Elko his home. And they’re out of business now. 

If you don’t invest in the community, don’t be 

surprised if the community doesn’t invest in you.” 

I KNOW WHERE 

YOU’RE COMING FROM 

BECAUSE I LIVE THERE.

them if they have anything they would like to specifically 

share with you (the readers) that we haven’t already 

talked about. Most people say thank you to the Elko

did give a big thank you to 

our area for its patronage of

years. However, Lane also had 

one more thing he and his

Gosh, I wish I had those smooth moves! Thank you for

ANDY BELL 

- A True Outdoors Man - 

Few may know this about me (Anthony) 

but I use to be quite the hunter back 

in my day. Yes, I was a rifleman who 

enjoyed a good game hunt, more than 

anyone. I remember waking up early, 

rubbing the ol’ sleep out of my eyes, 

grabbing my weapon and heading 

downstairs to shoot some wild beasts. 

The rush of pulling the trigger and 

hearing the “pop pop pop” of the gun 

going off just as the animals began to 

flee created a jolt of adrenaline I couldn’t 

get enough of! Where exactly did I 

hunt? Nevada? Montana? Colorado? 

Nope, my tag was for the comfort of 

my own living room…actually I think I 

still have a picture of my time! 

This week’s profile is on a man who is 

no stranger to the outdoors, Mr. Andy 

Bell. We’ll talk more about his passions 

and business as a wilderness man; 

however, Andy’s story actually starts 

not with deerskin, but with pigskin! “I 

was born in Ely, Nevada. We lived on 

a ranch but we moved over here (Elko) 

when I was two because my dad got 

a job at concrete company. My ended 

up getting a divorce when I was six. It 

was a pretty nasty custody battle, back 

and forth. That lasted until I was about 

eight. When I was twelve I moved over to Carlin and 

lived with my dad and did Jr. High over there. And in 

my eighth grade year my dad really wanted to get out 

of Carlin because people were just building houses on 

top of us. And so, he asked me, because I was big 

into football and wrestling and I wanted a scholarship, 

if I could choose anywhere in Elko county to go for 

school to get more exposure at a “bigger” school. 

So, I ended up settling on Spring Creek because I 

went to a football camp there and already knew some 

people over there. I played high school JV football as 

a freshman and wrestled varsity. However, because of 

a failing Spanish grade, I wasn’t able to go to State; 

the first year Spring Creek ever made it. And then I 

just got an “I’m going to do my own 

thing” attitude and got into rodeo 

my Sophomore year. I started riding 

bare back (bucking horses). And 

then, in my Jr. year, I got into riding 

saddle bronco. And around the 

third week of doing that, we went to 

Carson City to compete. I ended up 

going over the front of the saddle 

bronc horse I was riding; I had 

busted my hand earlier in that day 

and I had no grip in my right hand 

so I swapped hands but I couldn't 

get my left hand up fast enough and 

I broke my neck right about where 

your head meets your shoulders… 

and I remember it. I was life flighted 

to Washoe Medical Center in Reno 

(now Renown Hospital) and I spent 

a month in ICU over there and 

even quite breathing on my dad 

once. I got strep throat,pneumonia, 

I was on a breathing machine. 

But eventually I started getting a 

little better and moved to Shriners 

Hospital in Sacramento where they 

specialized in spinal cords and burn 

injuries. (Fast forward) I ended up 

living with my dad until I was 21 

and then moved out on my own. 

I started working with mentally 

disabled adults and then worked for my dad selling 

fire extinguishers. But after taking some time out from 

being really sick for five months, I got back into the 

work force with American Home Companion helping 

care for individuals with higher functioning autism.” 

Andy has been on quite the journey! He’s had to 

overcome a lot…but would this week him down? 

Nope! “In July of this year I actually opened a business. 

I’ve always wanted to open a business. I went and 

took some college classes, and I had this huge, 

elaborate plan for about two years but I downsized 

it into something manageable.” His business? DCB 

Outdoors (Disabled Country Boy Outdoors). 


“The mission statement is to assist in the growth 

and promotion of hunting and disabled hunting. 

And we do this by introducing disabled people (or 

reintroducing them) back into the outdoors. So, if 

someone’s never hunted before or if they hunted 

before they got hurt and haven’t since, we do that. We 

do this through motivational hunting videos, disabled 

hunting education, tips, blogs, stuff like that.” 

What a great idea…something most people would 

never even think of in a million years. But, it’s an 

important need, especially in our community. What is 

Andy looking forward to in this venture? “I’m looking 

forward to getting the word out there and being an 

inspiration to people. I’ve been told before that I’m 

an inspiration so I figured that God has given that gift 

and I can just use that. I think I’ve found my calling. 

Just because you have an injury or disability you can 

know that there is life out there. You don’t have to sit 

around and just exist. You can have a full life.” 

Now, it’s no secret that the Elko area is great for its 

outdoor recreation. How does Andy feel about an 

Elkoean outdoor man? “Elko is so outdoor! There’s a 

lot of people here that share that same passion I do. 

I’ve just found that people are so supportive here. I 

love it! I want the people of our area to remember that 

no matter what your disability is or what you’re going 

through…there is life out there.” 

I’m glad Andy recognizes that one of his callings is 

to inspire people…because he certainly does a good 

job at it. Thank you for sharing your experiences with

SANDHILL 

CRANES 

WITH MARCH COMES THE RETURN OF SOME OF OUR 

MIGRATING BIRD SPECIES. The greater sandhill crane is found in North 

America, Cuba and eastern Siberia. The Nevada breeding population is found 

in northeastern Nevada including Elko County. Sandhill cranes will stage in their 

largest numbers in the state in Ruby Valley and Lamoille Valley during their fall 

migration. These birds have spent the winter in Arizona and California along 

the lower Colorado River. 

In the spring they often stopover in Lund, Nevada where they stay for several weeks 

before heading further north to their breeding areas. Upon arrival, pairs establish 

nesting territories. Sandhill cranes form pair bonds at about three to four years of 

age and they mate for life. They can live over twenty years so this is a long term 

commitment. Courting cranes stretch their wings, pump their heads, bow, and leap 

into the air in an energetic dance. The nest is made from surrounding vegetation 

and can reach a diameter of over five feet. The pair will defend a large area of up to 

400 acres which typically include wet meadows, grasslands and shallow wetlands. 

Usually two eggs are laid and the parents take turns incubating for the next 28 to 30 

days. The young are called colts and are tended by both parents. The colts will take 

their first flights at around 60 days. 


31

Sandhill cranes feed on a wide variety of foods. Their diet is heavy in 

seeds and cultivated grains but they also eat berries, tubes, insects, 

snails, reptiles, nestling birds, and small mammals. 

These very vocal birds have a very recognizable honk and gurgling call. 

They have a long neck and long legs and stand up to 4 feet tall with a 

wingspan of over 6 feet. Its grey-brown body is often splotched with 

rusty patches. Their red forehead contrasts with the white face. They fly 

with their legs and necks outstretched. 

Next time you are driving along grasslands in Ruby Valley, Lamoille 

Valley, Star Valley, Clover Valley and the Deeth area be sure to watch 

for these returning birds. Since they are setting up breeding territories 

expect to see them in groups of two. To learn more about our areas

2017 Post Season Bracket, via cbssports.com 

Close Contenders’ changes in 

MLB OFF-SEASON 

CONTRIBUTED BY ADRIAN BOWLES 

The 2017 MLB season was about 

as odd as you could get going into 

the post season. The Los Angeles 

Dodgers had a comfortable ten 

game lead in the National League 

(NL) West and the Houston Astros 

had an even comfier 20 game 

lead in the American League (AL) 

West. The Cleveland Indians were 

up by 15 games in their division, 

the AL Central, and we saw the 

Milwaukee Brewers blow their 

lead in the NL Central in their 

last ten games to fall behind six 

games to the Chicago Cubs. Yet 

each division had quite the group 

of contenders fighting for the 

second spot. 

In the NL West we saw both the 

Arizona Diamondbacks and the 

Colorado Rockies clinch berths to 

the NL Wild card game ultimately 

ruining the hopes of the top NL 

Central contenders; the Brewers 

and the St. Louis Cardinals. The 

Astros were clearly the top team in 

the AL West but the Los Angeles 

Angels of Anaheim, the Seattle 

Mariners, and the Texas Rangers 

all finished within two games of 

each other leaving the door wide 

open for a team to catch a break 

in a future Wild Card game. Then 

the surprise team of 2017, the 

Minnesota Twins, clinched a berth 

to the AL Wild Card game to face 

the New York Yankees. In the 

end the Diamondbacks beat the 

Rockies in the NL Wild card game 

and got swept in the next series 

to the MLB best Dodgers. Then 

the Yankees went on to beat the 

Twins in the AL Wild Card game 

and made it all the way to the 

American League Championship 

Series where they lost to the 

Astros. Each team may not have 

been able to make 2017 “their 

year”, but the offseason always 

gives them a chance to rebuild 

for the next year. Let’s look at 

what these contenders in the NL 

West, NL Central, AL West, and 

AL Central have done thus far to 

better prepare themselves for the 

2018 season.

FOR THE DIAMONDBACKS NOT MUCH HAS 

CHANGED FOR THEM THIS OFF SEASON 

besides the departure of Fernando Rodney to the 

Twins via free-agency and offensive phenom J.D. 

Martinez who still is an unrestricted free agent. 

The organization is likely to move up Archie 

Bradley into the closer role for the upcoming 

season. 

The only notable free agent signing was that of the 

veteran catcher Alex Avila who will replace Chris 

Iannetta in the lineup. The D-Backs were able to 

come to terms with Avila on a two-year contract 

worth $8.25mill. The veteran catcher will be a 

big bonus for the organization whose catchers 

weren’t the most consistent last season. In 2017 

Avila batted .264/.387/.447 (batting average/ 

on base percentage/ slugging percentage) with 

83 hits, 13 doubles, 14 home runs, and 49 RBI 

(runs batted in). Between Chris Iannetta, Jeff 

Mathis, and Chris Herman last season, Iannetta 

was clearly the best choice, yet he only batted 

.254/.354/.511 with 69 hits, 19 doubles, 17 home 

runs, and 43 RBI. Avila may not be able to supply 

the pop that Iannetta could, but his production 

will be slightly better. 

The D-Backs will also see the return of shortstop 

Nick Ahmed who will be fighting to retain 

his starting spot, utility player Chris Owings who 

is returning from a finger surgery that was on 

December 11, and Yasmany Tomas who missed 

the majority of the 2017 season due to a groin 

injury. The D-Backs are hoping Tomas’ power 

will help replace the absence of Martinez from 

the lineup. In 2016 Tomas batted .272/.313/.508 

with 31 home runs and 83 RBI. Tomas was 

arrested on January 18 for criminal speeding 

after being clocked at 105 MPH; there still hasn’t 

been a punishment appointed to him and the 

Diamondbacks are hopeful to get him back on 

the field as soon as possible. 

The Diamondbacks have retained all five of their 

starting pitchers: Zack Greinke, Robbie Ray, 

Taijuan Walker, Patrick Corbin, Zach Godley, and 

they are expecting to get Shelby Miller back 

mid-season as he’s recovering from Tommy John 

surgery. As of now the opening day starting 

lineup could look like Zack Greinke on the 

mound, Avila catching, Paul Goldschmidt at first 

base, Brandon Drury at second base, Ketel Marte 

at short-stop, Jake Lamb at third base, David 

Peralta in left field, A.J. Pollock in center field, 

and Yasmany Tomas in right field (Chris Owings 

and Daniel Descalso are possible replacements if 

Tomas does get suspended). The Diamondbacks 

will have Owings, Descalso, and Ahmed available 

off the bench.

MUCH LIKE THE DIAMONDBACKS, THE ROCKIES 

HAVEN’T CHANGED MUCH EITHER THIS 

OFFSEASON. Last year it seemed as their main 

downfall offensively was their catchers, where we 

saw both Tony Wolters and Jonathan Lucroy step up 

to the plate but not strive there. Wolters was only 

able to collect 55 hits through 229 at-bats while only 

bringing in 16 RBI. Then Lucroy was supposed to 

be their savior coming off his hottest year ever, just 

to hit .310 with two home runs and 13 RBI in 142 

at-bats. The Rockies were able to resign their 4th 

round pick from the 2004 MLB draft in free agent 

catcher Chris Iannetta. As stated above, Iannetta 

had a good year at the plate in 2017. It was arguably 

his second-best year in his career and he hopes that 

he can repeat his 2008 season he had in Colorado 

where he batted .264/.390/.505 with 18 home runs 

and 65 RBI. 

The Rockies lost their closer, Greg Holland, to free 

agency this offseason. In 2017 Holland had a record 

of 3-4 with a 3.61 ERA (earned run average) in 61 

games with 41 saves in 45 opportunities. Holland 

only gave up 40 hits, 23 earned runs, 7 home runs, 

26 walks, while striking out 70 batters in 57.1 innings 

pitched. Holland had a tremendous season holding 

his opponents batting average to .193 while keeping 

his WHIP (walks + hits per inning pitched) at 1.15. 

Hollands 1-year contract in 2017 was worth $6mill 

and he ended up getting $7mill after his incentives. 

His performance in 2017 is exactly what you want in 

your closing pitcher. The Rockies reportedly offered 

Holland a 3-year contract worth $52mill making him 

the highest paid relief pitcher of all time. Oddly 

enough Holland denied the offer and is still looking 

for a team to join for the 2018 season. 

Despite losing their closer after leaving the highest 

contract in relief pitching history on the table, the 

Rockies wasted no time to hand that deal off to 

another one of the league’s best closers in Wade 

Davis. In 2017 for the Chicago Cubs, Davis had a 

record of 4-2 with a 2.30 ERA in 59 games. Davis was 

able to collect 32 saves in 33 opportunities. He gave 

up 39 hits, 15 earned runs, 6 home runs, 28 walks, 

while striking out 79 batters in 58.2 innings pitched. 

Davis held his opponents to a .186 batting average 

while keeping his WHIP at 1.14. Their numbers are 

so similar; the only thing really separating them 

is their saves. Holland finished 41 of his 45 save 

opportunities while Davis finished 32 of his 33 

opportunities. The big question around Davis is, will 

he be able to keep this pace when he gets more 

save opportunities? The Rockies believe so as they 

gave him the 3-year, $52mill contract. Davis will be 

earning more than Aroldis Chapman of the Yankees 

who is seen throwing over 100 MPH consistently. 

Chapman makes $17.2mill annually; Davis will be 

earning $17.33 annually. 

The Rockies also lost their veteran first baseman 

Mark Reynold to free agency leaving rookie Ryan 

McMahon with big shoes to fill. In 2017 Reynolds 

batted .267/.352/.487 with 30 home runs and 97 

RBI in 148 games. 2017 was Reynolds best season 

since 2011 when he was playing for the Baltimore 

Orioles, yet Reynolds has yet to sign with a team 

for the 2018 season. Now the Rockies are putting 

all their money on McMahon to solidify the starting 

position. In 2017 McMahon only collected three hits 

in 19 at-bats while bringing in just one RBI. 

Besides McMahon, Iannetta, and Davis the rest of 

the team looks very similar to last season’s. The 

Rockies were able to keep their starting rotation 

in Jon Gray, Tyler Anderson, German Marquez, 

Chad Bettis, and Kyle Freeland while still having 

Jeff Hoffman and Antonio Senzatela available to 

start. Senzatela started 20 games on the mound 

last season and Hoffman started 16. The opening 

day lineup for the Rockies could look like Jon Gray 

starting on the mound, Iannetta catching behind 

the plate, McMahon at first base, D.J. LeMahieu 

at second base, Trevor Story at short-stop, Nolan 

Arenado at third base, Ian Desmond in left field, 

Charlie Blackmon in center field, and Gerardo Parra 

in right field. The Rockies will have Raimel Tapia and 

Pat Valaika available off the bench. 

THE MILWAUKEE BREWERS went through such 

disappointing last ten games as they basically 

watched the Cubs come from behind to take the 

lead in the NL Central and the Rockies made a late 

season jump to ensure they would make it to the NL 

Wild Card game over the Brewers. But the Brewers 

are hungrier than ever as they’ve acquired two of 

the League’s best outfielders in January. On January 

25, the Miami Marlins traded center fielder Christian 

Yelich to the Brewers for center fielder Lewis 

Brinson, second baseman Isan Diaz, center fielder 

Monte Harrison, and right-handed pitcher Jordan 

Yamamoto. Then the next day the Brewers agreed 

to a 5-year, $80mill deal with Lorenzo Cain, who was 

drafted by the Brewers in 2004. This will supply a lot of 

production and youth into their outfield to really help 

Ryan Braun. In 2017 Yelich batted .282/.369/.439 

scored 100 runs, recorded 170 hits, 36 doubles, 81 

RBI, and18 home runs. Much like Yelich, Cain had an 

amazing year in 2017 batting .300/.363/.440 with 86 

runs scored, 175 hits, 27 doubles, 15 home runs, 49 

RBI, with 26 stolen bases. Talk about adding instant 

production to your lineup. 

The Brewers starting rotation will feature three 

starters that were in the rotation last season in 

Chase Anderson, Zach Davies, and Brent Suter. 

The Brewers signed Jhoulys Chacin and Yovanni 

Gallardo in the off-season to fill their other two spots. 

Gallardo pitched with the Brewers for his first seven 

years of his career from 2007-2014. In 2017 Chacin 

had a record of 13-10 on the mound with a 3.89 ERA 

in 32 starts. Gallardo in 2017 had a record of 5-10 

with a 5.72 ERA in 22 starts. Gallardo is looking for a 

bounce back year as he comes back to his stomping 

grounds. Defensively the Brewers will look the same 

except for the two outfield additions. The Rockies 

potential opening day lineup could look like Chase 

Anderson on the mound, Manny Pina catching, Eric 

Thames at first base, Eric Sogard at second base, 

Orlando Arcia at short-stop, Travis Shaw at third 

base, Braun in left field, Cain in center field, and 

Yelich in right field. The Brewers will have Hernan 

Perez and Jonathan Villar available off the bench. 


DESPITE THE BREWERS TAKING ALL THE 

ATTENTION in the NL Central late in the season, the 

St. Louis Cardinals finished just three games behind 

the Brewers and their starting lineup looks stacked 

from top to bottom. On December 14th the Miami 

Marlins traded left fielder Marcel Ozuna to the 

Cardinals for left-handed pitcher Daniel Castano, 

right fielder Magneuris Sierra, right-handed pitcher 

Sandy Alcantara, and right-handed pitcher Zac 

Gallen. Then on the same day the Cardinals traded 

away outfielder Stephen Piscotty to the Oakland 

A’s for second baseman Max Schrock and shortstop 

Yairo Munoz. The Cardinals decided to split 

ways with Piscotty to put him closer to his father in 

Oakland. Piscotty’s dad is undergoing major health 

concerns and Stephen wanted to be closer to 

him. Have no fear Cardinals fans because Ozuna’s 

bat is about as hot as they come. In 2017 Ozuna 

batted .312/.376/.488 with 93 runs scored, 191 hits, 

30 doubles, 37 home runs, and 124 RBI. Doesn’t 

look like a bad trade now does it? Especially when 

you compare it to Piscotty’s numbers in 2017; 

.235/.342/.367 with 40 runs scored, 80 hits, 16 

doubles, 9 home runs, and 39 RBI. The Cardinals 

also traded outfielder Randal Grichuk to the Toronto 

Blue Jays for right-handed pitcher Dominic Leone 

and right-handed pitcher Conner Green. Yet, 

between Ozuna in left field, Tommy Pham in center 

field, and Dexter Fowler in right field it seems like 

they’ll be just fine. 

The Cardinals did lose their electric closer, Trevor 

Rosenthal, due to injury in 2017. Rosenthal is one 

of many pitchers to fall to Tommy John surgery in 

recent years. The Cardinals signed Luke Gregerson 

to replace him in 2018. Last season Gregerson had a 

record of 2-3 with a 4.57 ERA in 61 innings pitched. 

He was only one for four in save opportunities. 

Despite losing their closer, their starting rotation 

looks very similar with Carlos Martinez, Michael 

Wacha, Adam Wainwright, and Luke Weaver 

returning with the addition of Miles Mikolas. The 

Cardinals potential opening day line-up could 

potentially look like Carlos Martinez starting on the 

mound, Yadier Molina catching, Matt Carpenter 

at first base, Kolton Wong at second base, Paul 

DeJong at short-stop, Jed Gyorko at third base, 

Ozuna in left field, Pham in center field, and Fowler 

in right field. The Cardinals will also have Jose 

Martinez, Harrison Bader, and Greg Garcia off the 

bench.

THE NL WEST AND THE NL CENTRAL were very 

close when it came down to the end of the season 

at around the 86-win mark, things were even closer 

in the battle for second place in the AL West as the 

Angels, Mariners, and Rangers all finished within 

two games of each other. The busiest of the three 

teams must be the Angels this offseason. The 

Angels signed the two-way star, Shohei Otani, back 

in December hoping he’ll be able to start in the 

rotation as well as hit as a designated hitter from 

time to time. Since then the Angels have acquired 

two more infielders; Ian Kinsler and Zach Cozart. 

The Angels traded out fielder Troy Montgomery 

and right-handed pitcher Wilkel Hernandez to the 

Detroit Tigers for Kinsler. In 2017 Kinsler batted 


doubles, 22 home runs, and 52 RBI. Then on 

December 15, the Angels signed Cozart to play 

third base. In 2017 Cozart hit .297/.385/.548 with 

80 runs scored, 130 hits, 24 doubles, 24 home runs, 

and 63 RBI. Cozart and Kinsler will greatly make 

up for the potential the Angels organization was 

expected from Kaleb Cowart and Luis Valbuena in 

the previous seasons. 

The Angels starting rotation will look the same 

except for the addition of Otani; Garret Richards, 

Andrew Heaney, Otani, Tyler Skaggs, Matt 

Shoemaker, and JC Ramirez will still be available to 

start if needed. The Angels potential starting lineup 

for opening day could look like Richards starting 

on the mound, Martin Maldonado catching, Albert 

Pujols at designated hitter, C.J. Cron at first base, 

Ian Kinsler at second base, Andrelton Simmons at 

short-stop, Cozart at third base, Justin Upton in left 

field, Mike Trout in center field, and Kole Calhoun in 

Right field. The team full of household names. The 

Angels will still have Cowart, Valbuena, and Jefry 

Marte off the bench. 

THE MARINERS MAY LOOK STAR-STUDDED, but 

they haven’t been able to reach playoffs since well 

before they got Robinson Cano and Nelson Cruz. 

The only big acquisition the Mariners made so far 

this off season is receiving Dee Gordon via trade 

from the Miami Marlins. The Marlins traded Gordon 

and future considerations to the Mariners for righthanded 

pitcher Nick Neidert, right-handed pitcher 

Robert Dugger, and short-stop Chris Torres. Oddly 

enough, the Mariners want Gordon to play center 

field replacing Jarrod Dyson. Last season Gordon 

hit .308/.342/.375 with 114 runs scored, 201 hits, 

20 doubles, nine triples, two home runs, 33 RBI, 

with 60 stolen bases. Last season Dyson batted 


doubles, three triples, five home runs, 30 RBI, with 

28 stolen bases. Dyson didn’t have a bad year but 

I’m sure Mariners fans are excited to see Gordon 

arrive with stats that are almost twice as high. 

Seattle’s starting rotation looks very similar to last 

season with James Paxton, Felix Hernandez, Mike 

Leake, Erasmo Ramirez, and Ariel Miranda. Marco 

Gonzalez and Andrew Moore are both available to 

start on the mound as well. The potential starting 

day lineup for the Mariners could look like James 

Paxton on the mound, Mike Zunino catching, Cruz 

designated hitting, Ryon Healy at first with the 

departure of Yonder Alonso, Cano at second base, 

Jean Segura at short-stop, Kyle Seager at third 

base, Ben Gamel in left field, Dee Gordon in center 

field, and Mitch Haniger in right field. The Mariners 

will also have Guillermo Heredia and Taylor Motter 

available off the bench. 

THE TEXAS RANGERS WASTED NO TIME BULKING 

UP their pitching staff as they signed Bartolo Colon, 

Mike Minor, and Doug Fister. They also traded the 

Giants right-handed pitcher Sam Wolff and righthanded 

pitcher Israel Cruz for left-handed pitcher 

Matt Moore. Colon finished 7-14 in 2017 with a 6.48 

ERA in 28 starts. Minor finished 6-6 in 2017 with a 

2.55 ERA coming out of the bullpen for the Kansas 

City Royals. Fister finished 5-9 with a 4.88 ERA in 15 

starts. Moore finished 6-15 with a 5.52 ERA in 2017 

in 31 starts. The Rangers starting rotation looks 

very different from last season as Cole Hamels is 

the only healthy starter who played for the Rangers 

last year. Their rotation will look like Hamels, Fister, 

Moore, Minor, and Colon. Martin Perez is out due to 

elbow surgery but is expected to be back in April. 

The Rangers potential opening day lineup could 

look like Hamels on the mound, Robinson Chirinos 

catching, Shin-Soo Choo designated hitting, Joey 

Gallo at first base replacing Mike Napoli, Rougned 

Odor at second base, Elvis Andrus at short-stop, 

Adrian Beltre at third base, Willie Calhoun in left 

field, Delino Deshields in center field, and Nomar 

Mazara in right field. The Rangers have Drew 

Robinson and Ryan Rua available off the bench. 


LASTLY, THE SURPRISE TEAM OF 2017, THE 

MINNESOTA TWINS, have stayed quiet this off 

season only signing two relief pitchers, Addison 

Reed and Fernando Rodney; both closers. Reed 

was able to come to terms with a two-year, 

$16.75mill deal, while Rodney got one-year, 

$4.5mill. In 2017 Reed had a 2-3 record with a 2.84 

ERA and had 19 saves in 21 opportunities. Rodney 

in 2017 had a record of 5-4 with a 4.23 ERA and 

had 39 saves in 45 opportunities. Looks like we’re 

going to have a battle to see who claims the closer 

role. The Twin’s starting lineup has remained the 

same as last seasons with Ervin Santana, Jose 

Berrios, Kyle Gibson, Adalberto Mejia, and Phil 

Hughes. The Twins potential opening day starting 

lineup could look something like Santana on the 

mound, Jason Castro behind the plate, Robbie 

Grossman designated hitting, Joe Mauer at first 

base, Brian Dozier at second base, Jorge Polanco 

at short-stop, Miguel Sano at third base, Eddie 

Rosario in left field, Byron Buxton in center field, 

and Max Kepler in right field. The Twins will 

still have Eduardo Escobar and Ehire Adrianza 

available off the bench. 

With the loss of players and all the new additions to these teams, which will be most successful on 

their route to the playoffs? WILL D-BACKS STILL HAVE THEIR ELECTRICITY WITHOUT MARTINEZ? 

Will the Brewers offense supply enough runs to give their starting rotation a break with the additions of Yelich 

and Cain? Will the Brewers and the Cubs be able to keep the Cardinals offense contained as their lineup reeks 

talent from beginning to end? Which of the three teams in the AL West will be able to stand above the rest 

and claim sole procession of second place in hopes of attaining a Wild Card Game? Will the Twins continue 

to be one of the top dogs in the AL Central to give the Indians a run for their money? These contenders left 

2017 just barely missing their chance at Post Season, better watch out division leaders, these guys look good.

Greenhouse 

CONSTRUCTION & MAINTENANCE 

The goal of creating a controlled 

environment starts with choosing 

the ideal site location, construction 

materials, orientation, and 

equipment. Start with a location 

that provides quality solar gain 

through the winter into spring 

growing season. Orient a standalone 

structure facing east to 

west with the vent opening facing 

prevailing, western winds. Choose 

durable construction materials for 

the roof, sidewalls, and endwalls 

that will withstand heavy snow, 

strong wind, and provide insulation 

through winter-spring. 

Our Main Greenhouse roofing is a 6ml, 

four-year, double-layer, horticultural 

grade, polyethylene with an inlet 

fan to provide airspace for insulation 

between the two layers. A Stuppy 

Greenhouse Manufacturing “kit” that 

includes easy-to-install extrusions to 

attach the poly to the structure and at 

the ends. 

The sidewalls are 4' panels of twin-wall, 

polycarbonate leading to 4', double 

wall, insulated, plywood sheets to 

perimeter concrete footing. Endwalls 

are full sheets of same polycarbonate. 

The west end has a temperature 

activated outside vent with cooling 

pads inside. The two exhaust fans 

located on the east end, pull fresh, cool 

air across the greenhouse and vent it 

out. We have 2 propane heaters, one 

overhead and one under the bench 

with a convection tube, 2 exhaust 

fans, 4 airflow fans, an environmental 

controller that co-ordinates the 

heating and cooling equipment, and 

a ‘Dozatron’ chemigation system to 

apply fertilizer and chemicals through 

the waterline. Ideally, the greenhouse 

is kept cool and dry. Daytime 

temperatures through the winter 

months are in the low seventies and 

kept above freezing at night.

Opening for the Season March 31! 

Colorful Annuals, Perennials, and Shrubs 

Spring Hours: 8-4 Tues-Saturday & 10-3 Sun-Monday 

As the growing season approaches, 

February 1st in the main greenhouse, 

nighttime temperatures are increased 

to 50 while daytime temps stay in the low 

seventies. In March, the temperature 

(starting 20 minutes before dawn and 

for 30 minutes afterwards) is decreased 

by 8 degrees. This allows for plant 

height control producing a stockier 

plant without plant growth regulators/ 

chemicals. This also results in venting 

excess humidity that accumulates in the 

greenhouse overnight. Humidity levels 

through spring are at a comfortable 

40% during the day, but increase to 

85% at night. Early morning venting 

can bring that number down to 65% in 

a matter of minutes reducing the need 

for chemical application of fungicides. 

Another way to reduce high, nighttime 

humidity levels is to finish watering 

in the greenhouse early and avoid 

watering on cloudy days. 

The Southern Greenhouse roofing 

is the same as the main greenhouse 

except it’s a 5ml, two-year, doublelayer 

film. Sidewalls on both sides are 

manually operated, rollup curtains, and 

the endwalls are fiberglass. This is also 

a Stuppy Greenhouse “kit”. Daytime 

temps are kept in the sixties through 

the day and just above freezing at 

night with a thermostatically controlled 

heater and a shutter/exhaust fan 

cooling system.

We’ve 

Moved!

By the end of March, the perennials 

growing in the southern greenhouse 

are moved out to the display area 

benching. Snow and cold temperatures 

are not unusual in April and we are 

always ready to drop the Remay fabric 

to protect our plants. 

Tomato seeds are started in the main 

greenhouse in mid-March. We grow 

several varieties every season with 

about 200 seeds per seeding tray. This 

puts our “starts” ready by mid-May to 

begin the acclimating process for late 

May planting. Otherwise, our annuals 

and perennials are grown from rooted 

cuttings, seedling liners, and bareroot 

stock brought in from large growers 

that specialize in growing for smaller 

greenhouses, just like us. 

Fertilizer rates: 200ppm for actively 

growing starts and 100ppm once 

mature. Phosphoric acid is applied 

at 1oz per 100 gallons of water to 

achieve a pH of 6.1; without the pH 

adjustment, our well-water is at 7.9, 

making nutrients unavailable. 

Weeds growing in the gravel are 

controlled by spraying a mixture that 

includes: 1 gallon vinegar, ½ cup of 

salt, and 4 T dishsoap. Hint: Dissolve 

salt in warm vinegar first. 

By early June, temperatures are 

uncomfortably high in the southern 

greenhouse, so the poly is pulled, 

stored, and replaced with a 45% shade 

cloth. Likewise, shade cloth is pulled 

over the stay-in-place poly for the main 

greenhouse by late June. 

Pesticide applications: The EPA has 

defined reduced-risk pesticides as 

compounds that pose a lower health 

risk to humans, the environment, and 

beneficials. These products do not 

work on the insect's nervous system 

like standard insecticides and are 

therefore more worker-friendly within 

closed greenhouse environments. We 

have chosen to use these reduced 

risk pesticides in our greenhouses 

including 'Endeavor' to control aphids, 

'Conserve' to control thrips, and Bt 

(Bacillus thuringiensis) to control 

shore flies and fungus gnat larvae. 

Lots of folks fight fungus gnats in their 

houseplants too and this product works 

great to control them, naturally. 

Growing your own plants can be 

challenging, but also very satisfying. 

We hope this information provides you 

with some insight on how our small 

operation began in 1991 and some 

ideas if you are considering building 

your own greenhouse.

Start your trip in Dublin, and spend some time in 

what most feel is the most overlooked capital city in 

Europe. This is surprising, because it is a youthful, 

vibrant city with a long history and offers many cultural 

experiences. Dublin's roots stretch back more than 

3,000 years (possibly many more) to thatched Celtic 

roofs, Viking settlements and druid stone sites. You 

can still trace Dublin's past along the cobblestone 

roads running through Gothic, Georgian and Victorian 

neighborhoods nestled against the modern buildings 

and landmarks of today. The cosmopolitan side of 

Dublin complements the city's traditions while also 

acting as a center of arts and education in Ireland. 

Celtic monasteries were great protectors of 

knowledge during the Dark Ages. The intricate Book 

of Kells, containing biblical manuscripts thought to 

be produced in the 800s, has survived intact and 

well-preserved to this day; you'll find it on display at 

the Trinity College library. Other nostalgic treasures 

around Dublin include the National Museum of 

Ireland, the National Gallery of Ireland, Dublin Castle 

and St. Patrick's Cathedral. 

Exploring Galway, the Aran Islands and the Cliffs 

of Moher. Travel to the west side of the island to 

experience what some consider the most beautiful 

landscape in the world. At Rossaveal, you can board 

a comfortable, modern ferry for a short 45-minute 

crossing to Kilronan on Inishmore, the largest of the 

Aran Islands and where Gaelic is the first language 

of the islanders. Be sure to stop by and visit the 

clifftop Dun Angeus, one of the most spectacular 

and dramatic prehistoric stone forts in Europe. At 

the Cliffs of Moher, rising 668 feet above the Atlantic 

Ocean, savor the breathtaking panorama of the Clare 

coast. A view you won’t soon forget. 

Killarney, the famed Ring of Kerry and County Cork. 

Continue on the south coast of Ireland and visit one 

of the most popular destinations. Drive the famed 

Ring of Kerry for a 100-mile panoramic drive around 

the island’s southwestern tip. Plenty to focus your 

camera on here: sparkling seascapes, mountains 

dotted with brightly colored farmhouses, winding 

lanes bordered with subtropical vegetation, and 

the breathtaking panorama of the Lakes of Killarney 

from Ladies View. Back in Killarney, you could enjoy 

a special treat: a fun-filled horse-drawn carriage ride 

through the national park with glorious vistas of the 

Lakes of Killarney and ancient Ross Castle. Wander 

across the Kerry Mountains, and don’t forget to drive 

into County Cork for a visit to Blarney, renowned for 

its castle and magical Kissing Stone. Are you brave 

enough to kiss the stone for yourself? 

SO much fun and adventure await you in Ireland. Call me for 

more information on this destination or any other vacations you 

may want planned. My services are free of charge, my expertise 

unrivaled and my customer service is second to none.

One of the positive outcomes of the Nevada 

Nonprofit Academy from the University of Utah 

Professional Education department brought to 

Elko by Newmont is the supportive relationships 

formed by local nonprofit leaders. The group, 

called Nonprofits for Excellence, includes 

personnel from Partners Allied for Community 

Excellence (PACE Coalition), Family Resource 

Center, Friends in Service Helping, The Terrace 

at Ruby View, Communities in Schools and 

Ruby Mountain Resource Center. The U of U 

certificate course took place throughout spring 

and summer of 2017 and included a series of full 

day classes to promote nonprofit excellence. 

Nancy Ostler, Executive Director of the 

Newmont Legacy Fund brought the series to 

Elko to improve the skill sets of the people and 

processes in nonprofit management. 

“The course was a wonderful opportunity for 

area nonprofit leaders who sought consultancy 

from nonprofit practitioners that provided 

leadership, management, research and custom 

support,” Ostler said. “It was also terrific to 

see many others from local nonprofits in the 

same room talking about their organization’s 

strategies and learning from one another.” 

Ostler said it is exciting to see the graduates 

of the program put the principles they learned 

into practice. “The group has already started 

to identify new collaborative opportunities, 

improved and developed new sustainability 

plans and have increased their effectiveness 

within the community,” Ostler said.

“At the final session of the U of U course we discussed 

continuing to meet so we could continue putting 

into practice what we learned in the course,” said 

Melissa Schultz, Executive Director of Communities 

in Schools. “We all agreed it would be a good 

idea to keep meeting and as result of our monthly 

meetings we learned that all of us were struggling 

with the time and effort required to raise funds.” 

The idea of a shared fundraiser was discussed at 

length and the group decided on a project that 

included elements of excitement, easy to implement 

and require few hours of manpower. 

Laura Oslund, Executive Director of PACE Coalition, 

said “I once helped with a fundraiser that raffled off a 

bunch of gift cards and it was a big hit with the crowd 

and when the group discussed this we all agreed it 

met our criteria for a shared fundraiser.” 

Mike Magney of PACE Coalition created a list of 

suggested names for the fundraiser and the group 

chose “Gift Cards for Good.” “The idea is for 

businesses or individuals to donate gift cards and we 

will put them all in a big jar and raffle them off to one 

lucky winner,” Magney said. 

Gift cards are a popular present during the 

holidays but they aren’t always wanted 

by the recipient. The Research organization 

CEB TowerGroup estimates that 

$1 billion of the $130 billion spent 

on gift cards in 2016 went unused. 

It could be the recipient doesn’t like, 

or have access to, the restaurant 

or retailer to spend it. 

“Whatever the reason people don’t need or want 

the gift card,” says Rebecca Hepworth, Executive 

Director of Ruby Mountain Resource Center, “we 

thought donors would enjoy knowing the money 

raised from Gift Cards for Good would be helping so 

many people in our community.” 

Each agency’s staff, board of directors, and 

volunteers are selling raffle tickets for the Gift Cards 

for Good drawing. Tickets are $10 each and the raffle 

is expected to contain at least $1,000 of gift cards or 

certificates. The group is collecting all gift cards or

ALL ABOUT THE 

Cervical 

Spine 

By Dr. Todd Wendell 

of Ruby Mountain Chiropractic 

THE CERVICAL SPINE – that is, the upper seven of our 

vertebrae – must surely rank among the most 

under-appreciated and most vital parts of our body. 

Its 37 separate joints endlessly allow the head and neck to move atop the 

torso – all the while obeying constant commands from the special senses 

and reflex mechanisms. Look at it this way: the cervical spine faithfully 

holds up our heavy heads between 14 to 16 hours a day. This is hardly 

easy. First of all, the head is far from evenly balanced on top of our spine. 

In fact, it’s tilted heavily forward; without the cervical muscles, it would 

topple over onto our chest. 

Secondly, the head’s weight can become unbearable over time. (If you’d 

like to get a clearer picture, try this experiment: hold a bowling ball with 

your elbow on a table for as long as you can. Few people can keep this up 

longer than an hour.) 

That means the cervical spine is a vital part of nearly all our everyday 

activities, including speaking, gesturing, sitting, standing, lying down, 

breathing and many more. Most of what our head does, it does thanks to 

the cervical spine.

Protecting Your Spine 

That’s why so many of the injuries to this area are so serious 

– often resulting in paralysis or death. For example, hitting 

your head on the bottom of the pool or tackling in sports can 

compress the cervical spine against the shoulder and cause 

grave injury. Even everyday headaches often involve the 

cervical spine. 

And that’s why you’ll be glad to know that we lead the way 

in recognizing the cervical spine’s uniqueness – even from 

the rest of the spine – A structural evaluation and problem 

focused care can make all the difference when caring for it 

accordingly.

A LITTLE BIT ABOUT… 

AT THE SPRING CREEK GOLF COURSE 

Ericia Cook and Sarrah Urbahn started Happy Cooks 

Catering in October of 2015. Ericia and her husband 

went on to take sole ownership of Happy Cooks while 

Sarrah stepped down to a General Manager position. 

Over the last two years Happy Cooks Catering has 

had the pleasure of serving Elko and the surrounding 

areas. As the business grew, Ericia started to search 

for the perfect restaurant location. Finally, the perfect 

opportunity arose, and Cook’s Fire Oven & Grill was 

born. Starting March 1st, Cook’s Fire Oven & Grill will 

be serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner, along with a 

full bar, seven days a week. They will offer a salad bar 

for lunch Monday-Friday and will eventually have a 

Brunch and Mimosa Buffet on the weekends. They 

will be launching a finer dining menu around May, 

serving steaks, pastas, seafood and more. Their 

vision is to show the community there is nothing to 

be intimidated about just because it’s a golf course 

restaurant. They are going to bring a friendly and 

intimate dining experience to their guest along 

with a high-quality menu that is both delicious and 

affordable.

MANAGING THE CHALLENGE OF 

ROSACEA 

www.glymedplus.com 

Written by Christine Heathman 

The course of rosacea is prolonged. Recurrences 

are common and difficult. Rosacea is a skin 

in trauma and out of balance. When tissue 

repairs itself, it requires more amino acids for 

cell proliferation. Peptides are organic chemical 

compounds composed of one or more basic 

amino acid groups and one or more acidic 

carboxyl groups. Select a peptide product that 

contains palmitoyl-pentapeptide-3 and other 

peptides with a low molecular weight in the 

amino acid chain. Peptides are non-irritating 

and more stable than vitamin C and Retinol. Not 

only do peptides have the capability to reduce 

the inflammation associated with rosacea; they 

reduce the aging factors that compound rosacea 

sufferers linked with photo-damaged skin. 

Peptides must be an integral step in treating 

rosacea skin. 

Carbohydrates constitute the main source of energy for all body functions and are 

required for the metabolism of other nutrients. This is why balanced nutrition is 

necessary, incorporating non-inflammatory foods augmented with antioxidant 

supplements help with rosacea skin detoxification. 

Treatment of rosacea requires patience from 

the client and a thorough understanding of the 

histology, anatomy, and physiology of this disorder in 

relationship to the skin by the skin care professional. 

Rosacea is currently incurable; however it is a great 

skin challenge to treat because much can be done to 

relieve its signs and symptoms. An important goal for 

clinical treatment is to limit progression to the more 

severe, end-stage manifestations of the disease. 

It is established that rosacea clients can have sensitive 

skin and misled that this hyper-reactive condition 

could be affected by topical agents such as cleansers 

and AHAs. This hypersensitivity link has not been 

convincingly demonstrated, nor is it proven. For 

example, rosacea patients are not especially prone 

to stinging after an application of 10 percent Lactic 

Acid. Clinical studies of this disease in relationship to 

these acids are reassuring because rosacea can readily 

accommodate irritating agents. Because rosacea is 

photodermatosis, it is absolutely imperative that a 

rosacea compatible SPF 30+ and protective makeup 

such as a camouflage base is part of the daily treatment 

program to protect against the environment. Selection 

of sun protection for rosacea must be a formula that 

does not increase inflammation. Know your skin care 

company and be sure they provide an SPF product for 

72 


Rosacea is often a difficult, stubborn, humiliating 

disease to treat if not properly understood 

rosacea. Not all SPF products are rosacea compatible and 

many sun protection products will irritate the condition 

and hold heat in the skin causing more redness. 

Rosacea is often a difficult, stubborn, humiliating disease 

to treat if not properly understood. It is a challenge for 

the creative skin care therapist. Great therapeutic triumph 

comes when using AHAs in the clinical environment for 

rosacea. Many topical acne agents include retinoids that 

may be too irritating to the rosacea skin type and could 

aggravate the telangiectasiac component. AHAs have 

not been shown to promote angiogenesis and therefore 

may be a more effective keratolytic agent for rosacea. 

In addition, these actives have been substantiated to 

possess antioxidant and anti-inflammatory impact on 

rosacea. 

The properties of AHAs may help account for the 

decrease in erythema and telangiectasias in thicker 

skin, masking some of the superficial vascular plexus, 

and may also account for the ability of sensitive skin to 

tolerate the AHAs. AHAs may also provide an alternative 

to topical steroids for mild inflammation as the steroids 

may actually worsen rosacea and thin sensitive facial skin, 

further aggravating the telangiectasiac component. 

AHAs have also been shown to improve cutaneous atrophy 

due to potent topical steroids by increasing epidermal 

thickness and dermal components. With their unique 

affect on corneocyte cohesion, AHAs may prevent the 

attachment of the demodex mite in the follicle, exhibiting 

clinical effects similar to that of sulfur. Thus, AHAs applied 

daily and through chemical peeling may improve the 

erythema and papular component of rosacea, providing 

additional treatment alternatives for this recalcitrant 

condition. It is believed that use of a low pH AHA can 

deplete bacterial nutrients, resulting in decreased 

numbers of pathogens. In addition, enhancement of 

ground substance (Hyaluronic Acid, glycosaminoglycans, 

elastic fibers, and collagen) in the dermis by AHAs could 

also potentially make telangiectasia less noticeable. 

AHAs also increase the internal hydration residents by 

stimulating the lamellar bodies of the cell. This action 

helps compensate for any lipid imbalance and increases 

the barrier repair function of the skin. 

Acne sulfur masks and resorcinol up to four percent are 

additional effective topical to retard the onset of bacteria 

and the activity of the demodex mite that resides in the 

follicle. These should be applied at least once a day, 

preferably in the evening before 10 p.m. in conjunction 

with a complete skin care circadian balanced program. 

Nutrition plays a key role in treatment. Avoidance of 

foods such as chocolate, nuts, cheese, soft drinks, 

iodized salt, seafood, alcohol, spices, and hot drinks is 

imperative. 

When treating rosacea, it is important to detoxify and 

nourish the connective tissue from within. Cleansing and 

replenishing is central to the ayurvedic medical principals 

of health by cleansing the body of toxins before you 

begin treating the condition. Always ensure the client is 

using a supplement manufactured for this purpose and 

that the ingredients include detoxifying complex of water 

balanced nutrients, cleansing herbs, and fiber blends. 

In addition, the acne skin formulas must contain antiinflammatory 

ingredients that treat the rosacea skin from 

within with healing zinc, blood purifiers, in addition to 

vitamins A and C for healthy tissue recovery. 

Rosacea also responds favorably to topical applied 

nutrients including vitamin C and other water and lipid 

soluble vitamins such as E and A. These ingredients 

are known for their radical scavenger abilities and with 

twice daily use, these powerful anti-inflammatories can 

drastically reduce the facial erythema that accompanies 

rosacea's chronic redness in as little as 48 hours. They 

can also be effective moisturizers since dryness of the skin 

can further irritate and redden the rosacea skin condition. 

THE SKIN'S OWN FUNCTIONS SHOULD BE 

NATURALLY SUPPORTED AND REBUILT BY USING 

PROVEN SUBSTANCES THAT CORRESPOND 

TO ITS OWN NATURAL CHEMISTRY: 

• Enzymes 

• Antioxidants 

• Peptides 

• Lactic Acid 

• Ceramides 

• Vitamins 

• Amino acids 

• Minerals/trace elements 

• Hyaluronic Acid 


73

AESTHETICIAN'S GUIDELINES 

• Avoid stimulation, heat/hot steam, or sunlight 

• Avoid known vasodilators and irritants 

• Use suspected flushing/blushing 

cosmetics carefully 

• Incorporate non-steroidal 

anti-inflammatory products 

• Limit number of overall ingredients (avoid the 

soup of too many products mixed together) 

• Choose multi-functional skin products 

• Use established compatible products 

for rosacea 

• Use a rosacea specific SPF 30 cream 

• Use proven treatments – do not experiment 

• Avoid steam, galvanic, hot towels, electricity 

• Use AHAs, Ultrasound treatments to kill 

bacteria, demodex mite, exfoliate, and infuse 

anti-inflammatory topical 

Green tea is also known to be a safe and beneficial 

treatment for rosacea and recommended to 

be a staple ingredient in sun protection factor. 

Be sure your rosacea compatible SPF contains 

this feature ingredient. Women treated with 

the green tea extract cream had a 70 percent 

improvement in rosacea compared with women 

treated with a placebo, says Tanweer Syed, MD, 

PhD, an Associate Professor of Dermatology at 

the University of San Francisco, Calif. This study 

was presented at the American Academy of 

Dermatology meeting in New Orleans. 

Medical treatments are part of the life of many 

rosacea sufferers, and your client may have already 

been on one or more of the following agents. It is 

the responsibility of the aesthetician to familiarize 

themselves with these medications. 

Oral Medicine—several agents can be used 

to treat rosacea. Erythromycin and tetracycline 

are the main oral antibiotics used. Other 

antibiotics that can be used are doxycycline, 

flagyl (metronidazole), and minocycline. Some 

people only need to take antibiotics for flareups, 

while others have to take antibiotics every 

day to suppress symptoms. The antibiotics help 

more with the red bumps and acne-like lesions 

on the face, yet they don't help as much with the 

redness and blood vessels. Isotretinoin (Accutane) 

has been used for stubborn rosacea but can have 

severe side effects. 

Topical Medicine—several topical agents can be 

also be used to treat rosacea. The most commonly 

used agent is Metrogel (metronidazole). Another 

topical agent is sulfacetamide and sulfur lotion 

that can be found in a flesh-colored formulation to 

help hide some of the redness.

A brief history of today’s 

OPIOID CRISIS 

To many, it appears the opioid crisis came out of 

nowhere. It seems out of control, even as states 

and the federal government have worked to slow 

down and reverse the crisis. In reality, opioid use 

disorders have been increasing for some time, 

driven by a convergence of three major factors 

before reaching epidemic proportions: 

1 

2 

3 

Patient satisfaction surveys of physicians. 

The push to include pain management 

as part of patient protocols. 

The marketing of new opioid pain medications, 

supposedly with very low addiction potential. 


With the rise Health Maintenance Organizations 

(HMOs) in the 1990s as an alternative to traditional 

health insurance, so too rose the use of mortality 

reports and patient satisfaction surveys to 

gauge the quality of care provided by hospitals 

and physicians. As these reports were used to 

determine reimbursement rates for services, they 

directly affected providers’ incomes, placing great 

pressure on health care providers to meet patient 

expectations of what constituted appropriate 

freedom from pain. 

The use of patient satisfaction surveys coincided 

with another trend that gained momentum in the 

nineties. Medical publications, patient advocates 

and health care experts began thinking of pain as 

a barrier to recovery from surgery or injuries. They 

began pressing physicians to look at pain as a vital 

sign and to treat pain aggressively. A pain scale 

from one to ten was developed with ten being the 

highest level of pain. Doctors were advised that 

they should reduce their patients’ pain to zero or as 

close to that as possible. 

Fortunately for physicians, pharmaceutical 

companies released timely new opioid-based pain 

medications like oxycodone, formulated, they said, 

to make dependency or abuse highly unlikely.1 

Armed with the new, “safer” opioids, doctors 

heeded the call to defeat pain and lost much of 

their hesitation to prescribe opioids. It seemed the 

new best practice was to prescribe enough pain 

medication to ensure the completion of healing 

without pain. The new drugs promised safer relief 

for those suffering from chronic pain too. 

We learned too late that the new opioids 

were susceptible to being misused, leading 

to dependency and addiction. Reactions were 

as varied as were the targets of blame: the 

pharmaceutical industry, over-prescribing physicians 

and patients who developed a dependency on 

the drugs. Such patients often found themselves 

abruptly cut off from their source of relief and 

searching for alternative sources to meet their 

needs. 

Practices like doctor shopping and multiple 

prescriptions increased and a black market in 

prescription opioids emerged to meet the demand 

for alternatives to legitimate prescriptions. As 

efforts to control access to prescription opioids, 

Mexican and other foreign drug cartels added 

inexpensive heroin to the mix. 

This multi-faceted history of the current opioid crisis 

implies that ending it will require a multi-faceted 

solution and cooperation among the medical 

community, the pharmaceutical industry, treatment 

providers, prevention organizations and the public. 

It is good that such cooperation has been under 

way for some years. 

In the meantime, each of us can contribute to 

reducing illicit and prescription opioid abuse by: 

Asking our 

doctors about 

non-opioid 

alternatives to 

manage pain. 

Asking, when opioids 

are indicated, for the 

minimum number 

needed to get the job 

done. 

Keeping opioids 

and all prescriptions 

in locked cabinets 

or boxes. 

Disposing of 

unused medicines 

safely during 

drug take-back 

events*

5 minute treat: 

shamrock pretzel pops 

SUPPLIES NEEDED 

• 1 bag of plain M&M’s (have your child help you 

sort all the green ones out for this treat) 

• 1 bag of mini pretzels (regular or gluten-free) 

• 1 bag of Rolos 

• Wilton Lollipop Sticks 

• Parchment Paper 

inspiration.kenmore.com 

I just love the simplicity and 

festivity of this adorable treat. My 

kids loved it too and it was a fun 

way for this Irish-at-heart family 

to celebrate this fun holiday! 

Happy St. Patrick’s Day, friends! 

1. Preheat your oven for 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with 

parchment paper and assemble your pretzels into a clover 

shape as shown above. 

2. Add a Rolo in the center of each of your clovers. Gently take your 

cookie sheet over to your oven and slide your cookie sheet into the 

oven. Bake for 3 minutes, or until the Rolo has just begun to melt. 

3. Pull out the cookie sheet and carefully insert a lollipop stick in 

through the Rolo while carefully placing an M&M in the center. 

Repeat until finished. It’s important to do this step while they are 

still warm, as these harden quickly once they cool. 

4. Allow them to cool fully before removing from the cookie sheet 

and carefully peel them off of the parchment paper. Ta-da! 

Treats for everyone!

I am Lucky Craft 

What makes you “lucky” – the power 

of reflect on ST. Patrick’s Day 

So often, our kiddos don’t spend time thinking 

about what makes them a good person and 

appreciating the good things in their life. 

This craft helps them do just that. 

In this activity, students create a four-leaf clover. 

On each leaf, students write something that 

makes them lucky. You could also come at it 

from the perspective of something they’re 

thankful for or appreciate.

Soft white powder flying up as your 

heart starts racing with every twist 

and turn of your skis, this is a feeling 

some people wait all year for. Winter 

sports are at times elusive. So much 

of where and when participants can 

interact with their sport depends 

on Mother Nature and geography. 

At times the weather can be a fickle 

lady, as we have witness in our area 

this year. There are years where we 

have more snow than we know what 

to do with, followed by years of little 

to no snow at all. This is part of what 

makes winter sports so magical. At 

times it is all a game of chance.

State Farm, Bloomington, IL 

As the world has been enamored 

with winter sports over the past 

few weeks it seems only fitting that 

our Good Neighbor for the month 

of March is Roche Bush. Roche has 

been involved in winter sports and 

skiing since he was three years old. 

He grew up with his family in Jackson 

Hole Wyoming, where he developed 

a deep appreciation and love of 

skiing and the ski industry. After high 

school Roche attended the University 

of Colorado in Boulder, Co. He 

attended the University on a skiing 

athletic scholarship. He was able to 

attend and compete in the NCAA 

National Championships three times 

in his time at the University. He also 

had the experience of being friends 

and roommates with Olympians who 

were the first to win medals for Skiing 

for the United States. 

Roche moved to Elko in May of 1972 

where he worked as an electrician. 

He left the electrical field and 

became a teacher for thirteen years. 

He taught Jr. High math for ten years, 

and then three years of High School 

math. After his career in teaching 

Roche started a small photography 

business. He ran Fox photo for 

ten years, where he would take 

school pictures for students in Elko 


County. While he was busy with teaching and the 

photography business he also became involved 

with the Elko County Planning Commission for 

thirteen years starting in the late 1970’s. 

It was through his work with the planning 

commission that Roche became involved with 

the SnoBowl. In the late 1980’s there started to 

become concerns with the safety of the current 

ski area at the time, which was located on Adobe 

Summit. The highway had started to become more 

and more congested with increases in the mining 

industry and with the layout of the ski area at that 

time there were concerns that there would be and 

accident. This is when they started to look for a 

new parcel of land to have a ski area. They were 

able to find a parcel of land that was owned at the 

time by Priscilla Layton. The county bought the 

entire parcel and created the Snobowl. 

Roche has been involved with the operations of 

the Snobowl since its inception. He started taking 

people up the hill with a rope tow. In all of his time 

with the Snobowl he has only missed two days at 

the area while the Snobowl was able to operate. 

The chair lift was put up in 1996, and as he says, 

“I had to learn to run it the hard way.” He has 

performed the maintenance and electrical work on 

the chair lift since its installation. He also does all 

of the grooming for the area. He starts grooming 

in the wee hours of the morning and then begins 

operating the chair lift for skiers at nine a.m. 

The Snobowl is open for skiers from 9a.m.-3p.m. 

Saturday, Sunday, and Holidays during the winter 

months. This of course is when Mother Nature 

provides our area with enough snow for the area 

to be open. When weather permits Roche is able 

to make snow in order for the City of Elko Parks and 

Recreation Jr. Skier program. On years as warm 

as this one, unfortunately it is too hot to generate 

snow. 

In the early years the Snobowl was funded by lift 

ticket sales and annual spaghetti feed fundraisers 

that Roche and other members would put on. The 

Snobowl is now owned and funded by the City 

of Elko. They have a variety of programs through 

the parks and recreations department, including 

a Jr. Ski program. In looking to the future of the 

Snobowl there has been a lot of work to get bike 

trails on the mountain. Roche believes this could 

be incredibly beneficial as there is a growing

life go right. CALL ME TODAY. 

om 

mountain bike population in our area. Mountain 

bikers may be able to ride the lift to the top of 

the mountain and then ride trails down, if this is 

a plan that comes to fruition. The mountain is an 

incredible asset and it would be great to use it 

year round. 


When I asked Roche about his greatest memory 

he told me it was being a friend and competitor 

with the best skier in the world. He is very 

excited to be going back to the NCAA National 

Championships as a spectator this year for the first 

time and reuniting with his old friends. They will 

be going to Steamboat Springs in March to attend 

the championships for the first time. Roche also 

took the time to tell me about his most interesting 

day. On April 5th 2005 Roche played 18 holes of 

golf at Ruby View Golf Course in Elko, and then 

he went up and skied at the Snobowl. He ended 

his day by water skiing at South Fork reservoir. 

Proving that in our area you can enjoy almost any 

sport! We thank Roche for the amazing work and 

contributions he has made to our community. 

Roche has been putting smiles on faces in our 

area for years. Thank you for all you do from those 

of us at Shabonya Dutton State Farm.

EXPANDING GIRLS 

HORIZONS IN 

Science and Engineering 

Submitted by 

Elko Veterinary 

Clinic 

March is a month we look fondly upon 

as the veterinary nation celebrates 

“Expanding Girl’s Horizons in Science and 

Engineering” month. Veterinary medicine 

has a huge appeal to millions of children, 

especially girls, as many of us have fond 

memories of our family’s cat or dog, or 

visiting the grandparents’ farm every summer 

to play with goats, horses and chickens. 

Combine our instinctual habits of caring and 

nurturing with a woman’s general ability to 

multi-task (sometimes to the point of selfdestruction…), 

these traits and capabilities 

are a woman’s launching pad to be an 

ideal veterinarian, veterinary technician, or 

technician’s assistant. 

According to the May 2017 edition of the “Veterinarian’s 

Money Digest”, women occupied more than 80% of 

seats in US veterinary schools. As far as the ratio of 

women to men in any aspect of vet medicine, that ratio 

stands at 55 women for every 45 men, in both public 

and private veterinary sectors, with more than 90% 

of veterinary technicians in America being women. 

Biology, pharmacology, nursing and restraint, surgery 

and anesthesia, and communications and computer 

literature are just a few of the higher education 

requirements that are used daily by all in veterinary 

practice. Our field of medicine is constantly growing 

and changing and learning, and as the advocates for 

our patients, so must we. Yet, when you ask women 

involved in the field of veterinary medicine, you will 

soon learn that our days aren’t always filled with puppies 

and kittens. There are emergency cases that needs our 

quick minds and capable hands at any hour of the day. 

There is pain that we need to relieve and sadness that 

we need to comfort with tender, yet confident hands. 

And we always need to have our thoughts in the 

mindset of a team dynamic, where every member of 

the veterinary staff supports each other and steps into 

their scrubs and saves the day 24/7. 

90 


SO NOW THAT YOU’RE ALL SORTS OF EXCITED 

AFTER READING THUS FAR, WHAT TO DO NOW? 

Many women in our field will offer the 

same pieces of advice… Reach out 

to teachers, to relatives and friends. 

Ask about how you can get more 

information, and contact information 

of others who may be able to point 

you in the right direction. Use the 

internet to research conventions, 

STEM programs, or camps that 

pertain to your specific interest. Start 

inquiring now, it’s never too soon to 

start chasing a passion and deciding 

if you can make it into a career. And 

lastly, be sure to do the work, before 

you make a decision. Make phone 

calls, schedule interviews, try to log 

shadowing hours with people or in 

businesses and hospitals, so that you 

have a clear and unbiased view of the 

field you’re interested in. In a 2006 

article by JAVMA, there was anywhere 

from 5-8 positions available for every 

veterinary technician graduate in 

the country, so just imagine the 

opportunities that could be available 

to you in 5-10 years! 

Be diligent, persevere, and 

use that brain, young lady! 

The sky is the limit, and your 

future is in your hands.

“When an individual receives Reiki energy, that 

energy acts like a spotlight by pointing out to 

the body-mind-spirit what things are no longer 

serving it. The Reiki practitioner does not need to 

judge what the individual needs, as the natural 

wisdom of the body-mind-spirit already knows 

what it needs and where it needs it. 

The practitioner’s only job is to hold the space 

for the body-mind-spirit to see the higher love 

possibilities that it can chose from with regard 

to healing and wholeness so that the individual 

can more quickly release their dysfunctional 

way of being.”
