Northeastern Nevada Featured Artist
Patty Fox
Elko County Art Club Cooperative | 407 Railroad Street, Elko, NV
775-753-8170 | pfwatercolors@gmail.com
Patty Fox has been a respected
professor of art at Great Basin
College in Elko, Nevada for over
20 years. She earned her Bachelor
of Fine Arts at the University
of Nevada Las Vegas and her
Masters in Fine Arts at Utah State
University. Her life’s work has
been dedicated to educating
students to discover their creative
talents and to help them reach
their artistic goals. Teaching is
the key to her soul, sharing and
developing relationships based
on her artistic perceptions and the
ability to share her ideas, talent,
and techniques with others. In this
manner, Patty has created a body
of work that encompasses not only
her world views, but also includes
the inspiration and energy of those
she has taught.
Her creative energy knows
no bounds and she explores
design, color, and technique
in many mediums including
quilting, ceramics, oil painting
and printmaking. She has been
captivated by watercolor medium
and has created masterful work
in that medium since the 1980’s.
Patty feels art has given her the
opportunity to make creativity a
most important element of her life
style and her pursuit of the perfect
expression of beauty defines her
art and her life.
“In my love of being out of
doors, I have been able to enjoy
an equestrian lifestyle which
has led me to many adventures,
sometimes combined with art and
sometimes just the pure enjoyment
of my animals. I like to combine
the animals now in the landscape
element because they are always
there. Animals are nature and
sometimes we miss them in the
landscapes because they are so
familiar.”
The timeless geography,
landscapes, beauty, history and
culture of Nevada is the inspiration
for Patty Fox paintings. Capturing
nature and wildlife in her art and
images, is her natural response to
the unique Northern Nevada high
desert environment she lives in.
She says, “I would like
my work to be a diary of
my life.”

Low Carb Chicken
Parmesan Pizza Casserole
Ingredients:
• 3 long and slim eggplant
• 4 chicken breast fillet
• 15 pieces pepperoni
• 1 C grated mozzarella
Photo & recipe courtesy of lowcarbyum.com
Coconut Mixture:
• 1/4 cup desiccated coconut
• 1/8 tsp ground sage
• 1/8 tsp dried tarragon
• 1/8 tsp dried marjoram
• 1/8 tsp Spanish paprika
• salt & ground black pepper
• 1/4 tsp ground sage
• 1 C parmesan cheese
shredded
• 1/4 tsp dried tarragon
• 1/4 tsp dried marjoram
• salt/black pepper
Tomato Mixture:
• 14 oz canned diced
tomatoes
• 1/4 cup parmesan cheese
shredded
• 1/8 tsp ground oregano
• 1/8 tsp dried thyme
• 1 large egg beaten
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• oil for frying
• fresh parsley for garnishing
• 1/8 tsp ground sage
• 1/8 tsp dried tarragon
• 1/8 tsp dried marjoram
• 1 tsp sweetener optional
Preparation:
Slice eggplant, 1" wide and 2-3" long. Season with salt and let it sit for 20-30 minutes. Pat dry
water, if any. Wash chicken with cold running water. Pat dry with paper towel. Make a cut/slice in
between each fillet without separating – this is where you’ll stuff your eggplant later. Season with
¼ tsp. sage, ¼ tsp. tarragon, ¼ tsp. marjoram, salt and black pepper on both sides. Set aside. In
a bowl, combine diced tomatoes, parmesan cheese, oregano, thyme, sage, tarragon, marjoram
and sweetener. Set aside. In a skillet with oil, fry eggplant until tender and slightly brown on
both sides. Set aside. Season desiccated coconut with sage, tarragon, marjoram, spanish paprika,
salt and pepper. Coat chicken with egg and coconut. In the same skillet, add more oil for frying.
Slightly brown chicken pieces for 2 minutes on each side. Make sure the oil is hot but not smoking.
Transfer chicken to a plate with paper towel. Grease baking pan with olive oil. Spread a thin layer
(about 5 Tbsp) of tomato mixture. Lay chicken breast fillet side by side. Stuff fried eggplant in each
chicken breast fillet, about two slices per fillet. Spread the remaining eggplant around the baking
pan. Spread tomato mixture generously on all chicken breast fillet. Sprinkle with parmesan and
mozzarella. Top with pepperoni. Bake in a preheated oven at 375F for 25-30 minutes until chicken
has been cooked thoroughly while parmesan and mozzarella are completely melted and slightly
golden brown. Sprinkle with fresh parsley, if desired.
Ingredients:
Easy Lobster Bisque
Recipe & photo courtesy of lowcarbyum.com
• 4 lobster tails frozen in shells
• 2 tbsp olive oil extra virgin
• 1/2 cup onion chopped
• 1 1/2 tsp garlic minced
• 1 cup dry white wine
• 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp celery salt
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 1/2 tsp paprika
• 1/2 tsp ground cayenne pepper
• 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
• 1 tbsp tomato paste increase to 2 tbsp for

• 2 cups lobster stock

water. Remove meat from shells then return the shell to water and boil for another 10 minutes.
Using fine mesh strainer, strain lobster stock and reserve 2 cups.
Chop lobster meat into bite sized pieces. Set aside. Add olive oil to medium sized sauce pan and
heat over medium high heat. Saute onion and garlic and cook for about 5 minutes.
Slowly add the wine, then stir in the Worcestershire, celery salt, thyme, paprika, cayenne pepper,
and black pepper. Stir in the tomato paste and reserved lobster stock. Simmer about 10 minutes.
Puree mixture in blender or use a stick blender in the pot until smooth. Return mixture to pot, if
needed, and add in the heavy cream and butter. Add additional salt if needed.
Add lobster meat and continue to simmer for another 5-10 minutes.
Raspberry Roll Cake
Recipe & photo courtesy of abeautifulplate.com
Ingredients:
CAKE:
• 6 large egg whites
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 6 large egg yolks
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 1 cup sifted cake flour
• 1/3 cup powdered sugar
18" x 13" pan
FILLING:
• 1/2 cup raspberry preserves
• 2/3 cup chilled heavy cream
• 3 tbsp confectioner’s sugar
• 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 2 pkg (6 oz each) Driscoll’s Raspberries
ASSEMBLY:
• 2/3 cup chilled heavy cream
• 3 tbsp powdered sugar
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 pkg (6 oz or 1 1/4 cups) Driscoll’s
Raspberries, for garnishing
Preparation:
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees with a rack in the center position. Line the pan with parchment paper and
lightly coat with baking spray. Set aside. Place the egg whites in the bowl. Whisk over high speed until light and
foamy. Slowly sprinkle in the first amount of granulated sugar and continue whisking over medium-high speed
until the egg whites have reached stiff peaks. Carefully transfer to a large mixing bowl until ready to use. Wipe
the stand mixer bowl clean and combine the egg yolks, second amount of granulated sugar, and vanilla extract.
Beat over high speed until fluffy and pale yellow, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add about a third of the egg whites to
the beaten yolk mixture, and combine together gently using a mixer. Repeat with two more additions of the egg
white mixture, folding in very gently with a large spatula. Do not overwork. Sprinkle roughly a quarter of the cake
flour onto the sponge batter, and fold in gently. Repeat until all of the flour has been incorporated. Scrape the
bottom of the bowl to ensure all of the ingredients have been incorporated evenly. Transfer the batter onto the
prepared sheet pan and spread into an even layer using a spatula (the batter should fill the entire pan). Bake for
8-12 minutes, or until very lightly golden in color. As the cake is finishing baking, lay a clean kitchen linen on your
countertop and dust with powdered sugar. As soon as the cake is removed from the oven, loosen the edges of the
cake from the pan with a knife. Carefully and quickly invert the sheet pan and cake onto the linen. Carefully peel
off the parchment paper. While the cake is still warm, roll the cake and linen, into a tight spiral. Cool on a rack, in
the linen. You want the preserves to be relatively thin before spreading on the cake – if too thick, you will damage
the cake as you are spreading it. Unroll the cake so that it lays completely flat. Using a spatula, spread the raspberry
preserves into a very thin layer on the cake. Combine the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat
until slightly thick and medium peaks form. In a small bowl, lightly mash one package of raspberries. Gently fold
the mashed raspberries into the cream. Spread the raspberry cream into an even, thin layer on the cake, leaving
a 3/4-inch border on all sides. Slice the second package of raspberries in half and press them gently into the
raspberry cream layer. Carefully re-roll the cake (without the linen) into a spiral. Cover tightly with plastic wrap,
and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours. Combine the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract and mix until
slightly thick. Using a spatula, spread the cream into an even layer onto the outside of the cake. Top the cake
with the remaining raspberries. Cover lightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate. Just before serving,
dust the cake and berries with powdered sugar.
Cauliflower Quinoa
Meatless Meatballs
Recipe & photo courtesy of mayihavetherecipe.com
Ingredients:
FOR THE MEATLESS MEATBALLS
• 8oz cauliflower rice (about 2 cups)
• 1 cup cooked quinoa, cold
• 1 cup fresh chopped cilantro or parsley
• 1/2 cup flour
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 3/4 tsp Allspice powder
• 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
• 3 tbsp vegetable oil (to pan fry the
meatballs)
FOR THE COCONUT TURMERIC SAUCE
• 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 1 medium onion, sliced thin (about 2 cups)
• 4 garlic cloves, sliced
• 1" fresh ginger root, grated (about 2 tbsp)
• 1/2 tsp Ground Turmeric
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/8 tsp Cracked Black Pepper
• 1/8 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
• 1 cup canned full fat coconut milk
• 1 cup vegetable broth or water
• 2 tbsp lime or lemon juice
• 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
Preparation:
Combine all the meatball ingredients (except the vegetable oil for pan frying) in a large
bowl and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes. In the meantime, prepare the sauce. In a large
skillet, heat olive oil. Add onions and cook over medium high heat for 7-8 minutes or
until translucent. Add garlic and ginger and cook for another 2 minutes. Add turmeric,
salt, black and pepper and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add coconut milk, lime juice and
vegetable broth and let it simmer for 5-7 minutes Add chopped cilantro, remove from
heat and set aside To prepare the meatballs, heat the vegetable oil in a separate skillet.
Working with 1 heaping tablespoon of mixture at a time, form about 22 meatballs.
Arrange them in the skillet and cook over medium heat, 2-3 minutes per side. Set aside.
Before serving, place the meatballs in the sauce and simmer for 10 minutes (if the
sauce has thickened too much, you can add a little water to get the desired consistency)
Serve warm over rice or quinoa.

Anthony Around Town
CHAD BAIR:
Dairyman/Business Owner
Chad and I are actually really
good friends. Our families
have dinner with each other
weekly (sometimes Chad
will bring over a tasty frozen
pizza…we’ll explain why
that’s possible in a bit). We
enjoy having real, weighty
conversations with one
another. Overall, we simply
have a fantastic personal
relationship. Now, rewind a little bit. I had set
up an interview with an individual from a unique
walk of life, and I was really looking forward to
hearing his story because this gentleman had
been on my heart for several weeks. However,
he, unfortunately, didn’t make an appearance
at our rendezvous point. I still look forward to
talking with him as I truly believe that his story
matters when it comes to our community; it may
just take a little persistence to arrange the sitdown,
which is fine. All that being said I was left
sitting at this restaurant with a giant question
mark…who could I get to sit down and talk with
me on such short notice? Lightbulb! Maybe my
good buddy Chad would be willing! I reached
out to Mr. Bair and he agreed. It took a few days
for our schedules to allow us time to meet, but
I was thankful for that because the more time I
had to think about it, the higher my excitement
level rose. I had an opportunity to not only
learn more about my friend’s life journey but
I got to sit across from a man who has called
Elko “home” for his entire life. His perspective
and reflections on our community must be very
insightful. And, you know
what? They were.
Now, before we jump into
“Elko talk” we have to talk
business. Chad and his
family are actually business
owners. Bair Distributing
Inc. is the official name of
their company. But what is
Bair Distributing? Are they
passing out big/ferocious
forest animals to the people of our town? “We
are in the dairy business. We distribute dairy
products in this area. They’re bottled elsewhere
but we bring them in fresh and distribute
them. (Besides milk) we also handle other food
products such as ice cream, tortillas, frozen
pizza, stuff like that. I’m one of the owners as
well as the sales manager. I love being able
to get out and build relationships with people
(in the food world) who have come here and
called Elko home. There’s currently nine of us
and we really look to establish an environment
of care. We care about what we do and we’d
like everybody to know that.We’d like them to
know that if they need us, we care, and we’re
going to be there…doing what needs to be
done.” What a great business! As I mentioned
in the intro, I’m very thankful for their tasty
frozen pizzas! But what has Chad noticed,
specifically from working in this field for so
long? “Over the last several years, I’ve noticed
that things have gotten away from the “one
on one” relationships in the business world.
22
22 www.EverythingElko.com \ May 2018

- Everyone has a story. Whats yours? -
You’re dealing with people that are sometimes
a thousand miles away who don’t know who you
are and sometimes don’t even want to know who
you are. And I look forward to going back to the
roots of doing business with people one on one
and building relationships with the people that
are here. Hopefully, that makes a difference in
our world.Our business is invested here. All of the
profits stay in this town. ”I’m sure there are many,
many people in our community who are thankful
that Chad, and his coworkers, show up and do
what they do every week! But, I know it can’t
all be milkshakes and burritos. What are some
the struggles Chad faces as a business owner?
“Being in a mining community, sometimes
people move here with the notion that they’re
going to be making twenty-nine dollars an hour
with full benefits. And, if they end up working
for us, it seems like they’re never happy. We try
to give them everything we can, but sometimes
it’s just not enough.” Keep in mind, they’re not a
global corporation with millions of dollars at their
disposal. This is understandable.The question is,
how do they respond to this particular dilemma?”
We have had a lot of people, over the years,
who have left and came back, who tell us the
environment that is there is where we want to be.
You guys care about us. You care that we’re off at
a decent time of day to go home and be with our
families. I’ve heard a lot of that lately…it makes
me feel good.”
Great stuff there! Now, it’s time to take advantage
of the fact that I get to talk with multigenerational
Elko boy! Lay it on us, Chad! “My story (in Elko)
starts in the 1890’s when my family first came
to Elko County. I’m the fourth generation born
Elko County. I went to Northside Elementry
and Grammer Elementry and graduated from
Toki Ona has been a local favorite
since 1990 when the restaurant
first opened. Our restaurant and

Elko High School. And it
was around that time my
grandfather started talking
to me about going into the
family business, it was in
high that I decided I was
going to go that route. I
jumped in with both feet
and pursued my career in
the family business. And I’m
still there; I’ve been there my
whole life. I couldn’t imagine
being anywhere else. Elko
is where I choose to be; I
chose to stay here because I
love it here. I think we have
everything here. And what
I’ve learned about being
here is that everything is
what you make it. If you think it’s the worst thing
on Earth, it’s going to stay the worst place. But
if you think it’s the best, you’ll make it the best.”
Good, good. But how does one approach this
kind of attitude towards the town? Especially, if
this is our “adopted” home. “I think getting with
stuff, outside of work, is where it’s at. By getting
involved with your church or youth sports,
hunting, fishing etc. Be involved with something
other than going to work and then just going
home every day.”
was like, I don’t know about
this whole gold mine thing.
I don’t know if it’s going
to work out! (Geography
wise) none of the current
businesses were here. The
farthest west was CVS, which
was Safeway back then, and
that was like going to the
moon to get there; that was
the edge of town. And when
I was a kid, around 1984,
my uncle was actually one
of the first people to build
a house in Spring Creek
and everyone told him he
was crazy! Nothing was ever
going to happen out there!
There was nothing but a dirt
road going over the summit but he still built one
of the first houses out there. Nobody lived out
there.” That’s wild! I’m pretty sure something did
end up “happening” out in Spring Creek, thank
goodness!
Thank you for giving us a little taste of our town’s
history, Chad! However, speaking of tastes, this
conversation has given me a craving for some
soft-serve! Before I head out to grab a cone,
anything else you’d like to share? “I would
encourage everyone to step out and experience
something different. Whether it’s the California
Trail Center, The Western Folk Life Center during
Cowboy poetry; take in what Elko has to offer.”
There ya go! Some free wisdom from an Elko
veteran. Now, let’s talk a little more about Elko
itself over the years. What has Chad noticed
about the community through his decades as a
resident? “I’ve seen a lot of families, who have
been in the ranching business for generations,
just move away because the world is changing.
It’s not that Elko was a bad place for that type of
environment, it’s just the culture is changing and
a lot of people don’t want to live a hundred miles
away from everything on a ranch. But what I was
See you in the dairy aisle, Elko!
If you are interested in
growing up, that’s all there was here…ranching
sharing your story with our
and gaming. I remember being a kid and hearing
readers, please email
about the first mine coming to Carlin. Everyone
What a fantastic conversation. Thank you for
sharing your experiences and heart for our area
with us all, my friend. And a big thank you to
Chad’s beautiful wife, Christa and his three stellar
kids (Ollie, Molly, and Gabe) for letting me steal
him away for a bit!

Khoury's
Wine of the Month
The dictionary says that sangria is;
A Spanish drink of red wine mixed
with lemonade, fruit and spices
Sangria has also been known to include orange juice, brandy,
sparkling water, and several other ingredients.
Whichever recipe you choose, Sangria is a great way to transition
from spring to summer. You can use red wine, you can use white
wine, you can even use a rose’.
Depending on the flavor that you are searching for, choose wine
varietals and juices to complement each other and your palate.
Spanish wines (temperanillo and granacha) tend to be sweeter
than, say, California wines. Drier varietals like Sauvignon Blanc
and Zinfandel are not usually chosen when making a Sangria,
although they may cut down on the sweetness once fruit juice and
fruit are added.
Sangria really is a reflection of
your artistic side, your own
personal taste and your
ability to be frugal yet
classy! We suggest an
inexpensive wine. One
you’d be happy to drink on its’ own yet
something that you are just as happy
experimenting with!
As we close in on the
beginning of Summer
and those long
warm days,
the deck
and the
BBQ are
calling out!
Sangria
Make sure that you have something fruity and fun to add to the mix
and you’ll be the “especialista en bebidas” that everyone loves!

Nevada Governor’s
Point of Light Awards
Do you know an extraordinary volunteer
that goes above and beyond the normal
volunteer responsibilities? Or maybe you are
involved with a volunteer program at work?
Or do you have a favorite non-profit you volunteer
with often? If you are volunteering, and we hope
you are, then there is likely a volunteer manager that
makes the volunteer experience good enough for
you to come back each time. Would you share your
experience if it might earn that volunteer, volunteer
manager, or program making a difference in your
community a prestigious award?
Nevada Volunteers, the Governor’s Commission
on Service, is pleased to announce the nomination
process for the 2018 Governor’s Points of Light
Award ceremony opens on May 1st. Nevada’s most
prestigious volunteer recognition, the Governor’s
Points of Light Award, is an opportunity to shine
the light on Nevada’s brightest volunteers. Unlike
other volunteer recognition programs, Points of
Light Finalists are selected by a group of judges
representing rural, northern, and southern Nevada,
non-profit and for-profit organizations, along with
the volunteer manager professional community.
Inaugurated in 2001, the Nevada Governor’s Points of
Light Awards ceremony highlights regional impacts
along with the private and public partnership across
the nonprofit and corporate sector in volunteerism.
Nevada Volunteers will recognize 3 Finalists in each
category (a total of 21 individuals or programs) to the
Nevada Points of Light Awards ceremony luncheon
to be hosted in fall 2018 in Las Vegas, where the
Award Recipients will be announced. Help us tell
the story of volunteerism in your community by

About Nevada Volunteers: Nevada Volunteers, a 501 (c)
3, is the Governor's Commission on Service and works
to foster a statewide culture of service and volunteerism.
When volunteers feel like their contributions are
appreciated and valued by the organization, they are
more likely to feel connected and continue volunteering.
We know the Governor’s Points of Light Awards doesn’t
recognize all of Nevada’s individuals and organizations
whose dedicated efforts demonstrate a spirit of caring,
goodwill, and service to others, which is why Nevada
Volunteers has multiple opportunities for recognition.
You can recognize volunteers with a signed Governor’s
Volunteer Recognition Certificate from Governor
Sandoval, at no charge. Recognize a volunteer or
organization that shines the “Light” of volunteerism
and brightens the lives of others with a Nevada’s “Point
of Light” bookmark, letter from Nevada Volunteers,
and acknowledgement on Nevada Volunteers’
communications. Learn more about these recognition
opportunities at www.nevadavolunteers.org.

Shorebirds
OF THE PASTURELANDS
Contributed by Lois Ports for Bristlecone Audubon
When most people hear the term
shorebird they picture wading birds
along a beach, the edge of lakes such
South Fork Reservoir or areas like the
Ruby Marsh National Wildlife Refuge.
But several species of shorebirds utilize
spring flooded pasturelands such as can
be found near Deeth, Halleck and the
Boyd River Ranch.
Wilson’s Phalarope is a small robin-sized
bird with long legs, a slender neck and
very thin, pointed bill. They are grayish
birds with cinnamon or rusty highlights
especially on the neck. In the breeding
season females are more colorful than
males, with a dark line through the eye
extending down the neck. Wilson's
Phalaropes mainly eat small aquatic
invertebrates such as midges and shrimp.
They often spin in circles to create a
whirlpool that sucks up food items to the
surface of the water.
Phalaropes are unusual in that the
females usually mate with multiple males.
Females vie for males with aggressive
postures involving jutting the head back
and forth, sometimes breaking into
fights. Once the female acquires a mate,
she begins to use courtship displays
involving bowing and upright postures
to initiate copulation. The female usually
chooses a site around the edge of a
wetland or in surrounding vegetation.
The female lays her eggs in nothing
more than a scrape on the ground. Later,
the male tidies the scrape and arranges
the surrounding vegetation to hide
the nest. Soon after laying a complete
clutch, the female usually abandons the
male to seek out another male to mate
with. The male remains with the eggs
and raises the chicks. The chicks hatch
fully feathered and with their eyes open
and are able to feed themselves.
The Black-necked stilt is a striking blackand-white
bird about 14” tall with very
long, thin red legs. The thin black bill
is long and straight. Males and females
have identical colorations. Black-necked
Stilts wade in shallow waters to capture
their meals of aquatic invertebrates
and fish. They will often eat crawfish,
brine flies, brine shrimp, beetles, water
boatmen, and tadpoles.
Black-necked Stilts nest on the ground
but they tend to build on surfaces
above water, such as small islands or
clumps of vegetation. Both the female
and the male choose the site and take
turns constructing the nest which is a

depression about 2 inches deep scraped
into the dirt with their breast and feet. As
they dig, they throw small bits of lining
over their back into the nest. The lining
is whatever material is closest to the
nest, including grasses, shells, mud chips,
pebbles, and bones. The chicks are downcovered,
alert and able to leave the nest
within about 2 hours of hatching.
The American Avocet is in the same family
as the Black-necked Stilt but is slightly
larger. Both male and females have a
black and white body, rusty colored necks
and heads and long gray legs. Their
long, thin black bill is upturned. They
eat aquatic invertebrates. Their nest is a
scrape in the ground, lined with grass or
other vegetation, feathers, pebbles, or
other small objects, or completely unlined.
A female American Avocet may lay one to
four eggs in the nest of another female,
who then incubates the eggs. The chicks
are down-covered and able to leave the
nest within 24 hours.
If they sense danger from a predator,
avocets will defend their nest and young
very aggressively. These birds engage in
distraction displays such as the brokenwing
trick to draw the predator away.
Avocets will also dive-bomb perceived
predators in order to chase them away
from the nest or chicks.
BRISTLECONE AUDUBON WILL BE HAVING A FIELD TRIP ON SATURDAY, MAY 19, 2018. Hopefully we
will be able to see all three of these species plus many more. We will meet at 8:30 a.m. at the intersection
of Lower Lamoille road and Lamoille Highway. We will bird all of Lower Lamoille Road to where it meets
Highway 229. We will then bird along Highway 229 to Halleck. People can return home via I-80. Bring
a sack lunch, water, binoculars and dress for the weather. For more information contact Lois Ports at

IS
BACK IN RENO, NEVADA!
CONTRIBUTED BY ADRIAN BOWLES
Celebrating their tenth year in Reno, Nevada, the Reno Aces have continued to give this city
a winning baseball club; winning the Pacific Coast League (PCL) Northern Division in 2011,
2012, 2014, and 2017. They even won the PCL Championship in 2012.
The Aces have an all-time
record of 1,442 wins and 1,417
losses, marking a .504 winning
percentage throughout their
nine seasons. Since their
birth they have also managed
to produce three PCL most
valuable players (MVP) with
Adam Eaton winning the award
in 2012, Chris Owings winning
in 2013, and Christian Walker
winning last season. All three
of the former MVPs are now in
the MLB; Eaton is playing with
the Washington Nationals and
Owings and Walker are with the
Arizona Diamondbacks.
Walker got the call up to the
Diamondbacks after just his first
game with the Aces in 2018,
where he went 1-for-4 with a
three-run home run. Losing
the hard-hitting first baseman
may be the biggest set-back
for the Aces in 2018. Last
season, Walker had a batting
average of .309 with an onbase
percentage of .382 and
a slugging percentage of .597
(AVG/OBP/SLG). He managed
to get 159 hits, 32 home runs,
114 runs batted in (RBI), 34
doubles, and he scored 104
times. His production will be
missed in Reno, but hopefully
he can continue to produce
with the Diamondbacks as a
strong bat off the bench.
Another big set-back for the
Aces was losing powerful
outfielder Oswaldo Arcia.
Last season for the Aces Arcia
batted .326/.410/.639 with 24
home runs, 87 RBI, 25 doubles,
five triples, 111 hits, and scored
79 times. The Diamondbacks
released Arcia following the
2017 season and can now be
seen playing with Hokkaido
Nippon-Ham Fighter of the
Nippon Professional Baseball
league in Japan.
Despite losing Arcia and
Walker, there are a lot of
familiar faces returning to the
Aces’ roster. Jack Reinheimer,
Ildemaro Vargas, Kristopher
Negron, Socrates Brito, Jimmie
Sherfy, Braden Shipley, and
Matt Koch all played with the
Aces in 2017 and expect to be
vital components of their team
moving forward in 2018. The
Aces were even able to keep
their manager Greg Gross.

THE ACES PLAY 14 HOME GAMES
IN MAY AND JUNE
View the calendar at www.renoaces.com
Reinheimer, Vargas, and
Negron consist of their middle
infield and swap games at
third. Last season with the
D-Backs, Vargas went 4-for-
13 with four RBI in 12 games.
With the Aces in 2017, Vargas
batted .312/.355/.462 with 10
home runs, 65 RBI, 35 doubles,
152 hits, and scored 87 times.
Vargas is normally seen leading
off on offense, and at shortstop
and second base on defense,
while finding himself at third
base a few games out of the
year. Vargas’ fancy glove-work
on defense and high on-base
percentage keep him in the
lineup consistently. Much like
Vargas, Reinheimer is normally
seen playing shortstop and
second base while also playing
third base a few times a year
and can be seen batting second
in the lineup. Reinheimer didn’t
have as much success in the
Bigs in 2017, going 0-for-5 in
two games with the D-Backs. In
Reno last season, Reinheimer
batted .278/.341/.351 with four
home runs, 56 RBI, 19 doubles,
134 hits, while scoring 87 times.
Reinheimer’s smooth defense
kept his fielding percentage
at .969 at shortstop and .953
at second base in 2017 while
providing some production
offensively. Unlike Reinheimer
and Vargas, Negron can pretty
much play any position on the
field and takes a lot of pride in
that. In 2017, Negron played
all three outfield positions, all
four infield positions, and he
even pitched while not having
a fielding percentage below
.971; talk about a utility player.
In 2017, Negron went 4-for-
25 with the D-backs with one
RBI and four walks. For the
Aces in 2017, Negron batted
.300/.366/.501 with 13 home
runs, 64 RBI, 11 triples, 17
doubles, 116 hits, and scored
70 times. Negron is normally
seen batting in the ninth spot
of the lineup and can be found
at any of the positions, but it
looks like he’ll gravitate towards
third base this summer with the
absence of a consistent thirdbaseman
on the roster.
The only familiar face returning
to the outfield this season is
Socrates Brito, who spent time
with the D-Backs in 2015 and
www.EverythingElko.com \ May 2018

2016 but hasn’t been recalled since. In his 128
at-bats with Arizona, Brito has 27 hits, four home
runs, 13 RBI, and scored 13 times. Last season
with the Aces, he batted .291/.336/.449 with
five home runs, 44 RBI, 15 doubles, eight triples,
85 hits, and scored 43 times. Brito’s proved his
defense is strong at any of the outfield positions
in 2017 not posting a fielding percentage below
.968. Brito will most likely be seen playing center
field and batting third or fourth in the lineup.
On the mound, the Aces have three familiar faces
that all saw time with the Diamondbacks in 2017
in Braden Shipley, Jimmie Sherfy, and Matt Koch.
Shipley, who was drafted by the Diamondbacks
in 2013 from University of Nevada, Reno will be
back for his third season with the Aces. Shipley
went 0-1 with the D-Backs in 2017 with a 5.40
earned run average (ERA) and si.com18 strike outs in
25 innings pitched and three starts. For the Aces
in 2017, Shipley had a 7-6 record with a 5.78
ERA and 69 strike outs in 20 starts/109 innings
pitched. Shipley is Reno’s ace and is normally
seen pitching every five games. In 2017, Jimmie
Sherfy solidified his closer role for the Aces.
Sherfy posted a 2-1 record with a 3.12 ERA with
61 strike outs in 49.1 innings pitched, while
having 20 saves in 23 attempts. Sherfy also was
very successful in 2017 for the Diamondbacks
posting a record of 2-0 in 10.2 innings pitched
with one save in his only opportunity. Sherfy will
be back as the Aces closer this season. Matt
Koch was in the starting rotation for the Aces
in 2017 posting a 2-2 record with 8.40 ERA in
10 starts/45 innings pitched with 25 strike outs.
Koch did make an appearance for the D-Backs
in 2017 but wasn’t able to produce an out. Koch
started the 2018 season with the D-Backs but
was recalled when Walker was called up and
now can be seen as one of the five starters in
the rotation.
When you have a lot of returning players
following a year when you won the division, it
may be wise to keep the same coach. This is
exactly the approach the Aces are taking with
returning manager Greg Gross. Gross began
his MLB playing days in 1973 and won the
1974 Sports News Rookie of the Year and he
was part of the 1980 Philadelphia Phillies World
Series Championship team. Gross started out
as the hitting coach for the Aces in 2013 but
was promoted to manager when Jerry Narron
was promoted to the D-Backs bench coach in
February of 2017. In his time with the Aces he
has helped their offense immensely and now has
led them to a division title and seeks to repeat it
in back-to-back seasons.
While Gross has a slew of returning players, he
also has three new players that may become
a vital part of their team and the D-Backs
organization in Taylor Clarke, Cesar Puello, and
Yasmany Tomas, who has already spent time with
the Diamondbacks and five games with the Aces
back in 2015. Taylor Clarke is a right-handed
pitcher that has been able to take a lot of weight
off Gross’s shoulders with the absence of Zack
Godley since his call up to the Bigs a year ago.
In 2017, Clarke had a 9-7 record with a 2.91 ERA
with 107 strike outs in 21 starts/111.1 innings
pitched in double-A for the Jackson Generals,
the double-A affiliate of the Diamondbacks.
For the Aces last season, Clarke posted a 3-2
record with a 4.81 ERA with 31 strike outs in
6 starts/33.2 innings pitched. Clarke will be a
consistent member of the starting rotation for
the Aces this season.
Gaining Yasmany Tomas and Cesar Puello may
make up for the absence of Walker and Arcia,
both of whom where the Aces RBI leaders a year
ago. Last season Puello batted .327/.377/.526
with 13 home runs, 61 RBI, 26 doubles, and 113
hits for the Salt Lake Bees (Los Angeles Angels
of Anaheim triple-A affiliate) and for Round Rock
Express (Texas Ranger triple-A affiliate). Puello
did play for the Angels and the Tampa Bay Rays
last season batting 7-for-34 with 3 RBI. Puello will
most likely be seen as designated hitter or as a
corner outfielder in 2018 while batting sixth or
seventh in the lineup. Tomas may bring back the
much-needed power that the Aces will need this
season. In 2016, Tomas batted .272/.313/.508
with 31 home runs, 83 RBI, 30 doubles,144 hits,
and scored 72 times for the Diamondbacks. In
2017, Tomas was limited just to 166 at-bats due
to a groin injury and looks to get back on track

this season. In 2014, the D-Backs signed
Tomas to a six-year $68.5mil contract, with
all of it guaranteed to him. He still has
$42.5mil remaining on his contract and
expects to be paid $14mil this season.
Tomas’ contract makes him the highest
paid player in minor league history. Tomas
will likely be batting in the fourth or fifth
spot while playing left field or playing as
designated hitter.
With a few new faces and a lot of returning
players, the Aces looked to continue their
winning tradition by putting up a W in
their first series starting back on April 5.
Unfortunately for them, the Fresno Grizzlies
(Houston Astros affiliate) had other plans in
store. The first two games the Aces won
10-2 and 8-4 with both Clarke and Shipley
collecting their first wins of the season
while Walker, Tomas, and Reinheimer all hit
their first home runs. The next three games
the Aces lost to the Grizzlies 8-15, 4-9, and
5-11 while Kris Medlen, Jared Miller, and
Jake Buchanon all record their first losses
of the season. Despite three loses, Cody
Decker hit three home runs between the
April 8th and 9th.
Despite losing their first series, the
Aces remain a top contender in the PCL
Northern Division. Last season, the Aces
won their division with a three-game lead
over the Fresno Grizzlies and a 14-game
lead over the Tacoma Rainiers (Seattle
Mariners affiliate). With the absence of
Walker, Arcia, and Godley, the Aces will
have to find out a way to pick back up their
momentum with their new players, Tomas,
Puello, and Clarke as they look to become
back-to-back divisional champs.

Welcome
to
Rome
With a mix of haunting ruins, AWE-INSPIRING ART
and a vibrant street life, Italy’s capital, also known
as the Eternal City, is one of the worlds most
romantic and inspiring places to visit in the world.
Spend the day exploring the ancient wonders of
Rome. A visit to the Colosseum is a must on any
visit here. Did you know that the real name of the
Colosseum is the Flavian Amphitheater? Many
people think the name came from the enormous
statue of Emperor Nero, “the colossus” that was 35
meters high. Many different types of events were
held here, but the event that spectators enjoyed
most was the gladiators. Gladiators were usually
prisoners of war who were given the choice to be

slaves or to fight. The Roman Forum was the pulsing
heart of ancient Rome. The main piazza where citizens
of every social level met to do business or buy in the
local markets. The Roman Pantheon was the first
temple ever built for the common people. This may
seem obvious today, but in ancient times temples were
forbidden places. For the first time ever, the concept
of a place of worship open to all was conceived.
No trip to Rome would be complete without a visit
to St. Peter’s Basilica and its amazing museums. It’s
the center of the Roman Catholic faith, home to the
Pope and each year draws visitors from around the
world. Each year Christmas Eve Mass is held here
and broadcast around the world. The Sistine chapel
is without a doubt one of the greatest masterpieces
in the world. It’s the last stop on the Vatican Museum
tour and it’s the most awaited moment for the
millions who come here every year to admire it.
The Trevi Fountain is a fantastic piece of art that
is much more than a mere sculpture.
It’s an example of Baroque art, with soft
natural lines and fantasy
creatures.
There is also the fun tradition of throwing a
coin over your shoulder and into the water,
ensuring that you will return
to Rome. They estimate
over 3,000 euros in coins are
thrown into the fountain each day. Don’t forget
a visit to the famous Spanish Steps. Its one of the
most famous images in Rome. It’s a very popular
location for locals to visit, do their studies, or have
their coffee or gelato.
A VISIT TO ROME will bring you memories to last a
lifetime. If you are planning a trip here, or anyplace
else, call me, Sue Bradford, before you do anything
else. I am a local travel agent here in Spring Creek
and I would love to help you plan your next great
vacation. Call me at 775-781-9573 or email me at

Kathryn Klitz Corbett
My paintings reflect a deep love for this sage country,
a love which was rooted in childhood.
My parents met in the 1930s while living in
Contact, Nevada, which is an old prospecting
community in northern Elko County. Mary
DeWitt taught in the two-room schoolhouse,
while Joe Klitz was from a family of prospectors.
The couple moved to Sacramento, where
they married and raised four children. Family
vacations were a lengthy trek across two states,
along old Highway 40, and then north from Wells
on U.S. Route 93, to our grandparents’ home in
Contact.
Camping in Northern Elko County as children
infected us with the need to smell sage under a
wide blue sky.
I became a painter, primarily a watercolorist, to
express my feelings about Nevada. Over the
years, we have taken many trips to the Great
Basin. I would bring along my paints to record
the “thereness” of a place. For a few hours, I
would sit on the ground to capture my feeling
for a particular area. It seemed to give each small
watercolor the power to bring that place back to
me in its totality.
I have sold a lot of work over the years; however,
I never considered selling these paintings. When
my sister, Karen Klitz, along with our brother, Bill
Klitz, acquired a small place in Contact, I knew
that these watercolors could finally go home.

SCREENING YOUR
CHILDREN FOR
Scoliosis
Contributed by Dr. Todd Wendell of
Ruby Mountain Chiropractic
Scoliosis is an abnormal sideways curve in the spine
that, if not caught early, can become worse with age,
cause significant back pain, and lead to significant spine,
neurological and health issues. Your children should
have the chance to grow healthy and strong, which is
why it’s important to know the signs of scoliosis and
check your kids constantly.
Checking Your kids
Checking your child’s spine for scoliosis is possible at home
and in our practice. If you’re opting for the at-home method,
do the following:
1. Have your child bend over at the waist. Stand behind them
and check the curve of the spine. This is called Adam’s
test for scoliosis. The back should have a smooth curve.
Also take a look at the ribcage on both sides as they bend
forward. If you notice the ribcage bulging more on one
side than the other, it may be a cause for concern.
2. Next, look at your child’s back while they are standing and
check for any of the following:
∙ Is one shoulder higher than the other?
They should be level.
∙ Does their pelvis rotate forward
on one side more than the other?
It’s important to remember that discovering scoliosis early
can often lead to improved management and excellent
outcomes. Did you know our office was a leading office in
∙ Is one hip higher than the other?
They should be level.
∙ Does the spine look straight or curved?
Curving sideways is a problem.

Issues
MINING INDUSTRY
Over the past 10 years, I have been
involved in many mining related
issues. I have met with senators and
congressmen, who are also in support
of the mining industry and together we
are working to eradicate additional tax
increases that would negatively affect
the industry. I am strongly opposed
to any increase in the net proceeds
tax related to the mining industry in
Nevada....
FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY
As a business owner in Elko, I know the
importance of economic growth. I am
diligently working on bringing an industrial
factory to Elko in hopes of generating new
jobs and revenue for the people of Elko
County and its surrounding areas. Over the
past 18 years I have voted conservatively
and tried to limit unneeded tax increases
that impact our home owners and local
businesses. I have worked tirelessly to
balance the budget in Elko County.
2ND AMENDMENT
I held one of the first question and
answer open forums related to
concealed carried weapons. I am a
firm believer in the people’s right to
keep and bear arms, not only for selfprotection,
hunting, and recreational
use, but because it is their given right,
as set forth by the Constitution of the
United States. I am a proud member
of the NRA and have been for over 20
years. I strongly encourage people to
exercise and protect their rights, or little
by little, they will be lost.
CLEAN WATER ACT
I have been working on both the state and
federal level to prevent pertinent changes
to current water regulations — changes
that potentially would impact our county,
city, ranching, and recreational water
usage. In addition, for two consecutive
years, I testified in Washington to protect
western waterways.
PILT
“Payments in Lieu of Taxes” are federal
payments to local governments that
help offset losses in property taxes due
to nontaxable Federal lands within their
boundaries. It took me and my fellow
Elko County Commissioners three years
to assist in getting PILT fully funded for
a five-year cycle, and it is an issue which
will likely recur.
PUBLIC LANDS
First and foremost, I believe that all
people should have access to their
public land, whether it be for recreation,
mining, or industrial use. I introduced
an emergency resolution in Washington
D.C. to prevent the listing of the sage
grouse under the endangered species
act, and had over 2000 constituents
endorsing my resolution in 2009. This
year we have re-confirmed with all of
Nevada’s congressional representatives
to stand together with Elko County, to
again prevent this listing.

PREMATURE
Aging
Skin
Contributed by Maggie at Skinessence, www.dermascope.com
The skin is the largest, most
complex, immune organ that
challenges the practicing
aesthetician today. Due to its
interface function between the
body and the environment, the
skin is chronically exposed to both
endogenous and environmental
pro-oxidant agents, leading to
premature aging and impaired
cellular function.
Compelling evidence of premature aging suggests that oxidative stress is the major
cause involved in the damage of the skin’s cellular constituents
i.e.; keratinocytes, melanocytes,
Langerhans, Merkle, mast,
fibroblasts, etc. and their DNA, cell
membrane lipids, and proteins.
The skin’s natural antioxidant
network protects these cells against
oxidative injury and prevents the
production of oxidation products
such as 4-hydroxy to 2-nonenal
or malonadehyde, which are
able to induce protein damage,
apoptosis or release of proinflammatory
mediators, such as
cytokines. Inflammatory cytokines
exist within the interstitial space
in normal and inflamed skin, and
are protein mediators. Cytokines
govern the inflammatory phase
that clears cellular and extra
cellular matrix debris. However,
the repair process is not always
100 percent, and when oxidative
stress overwhelms the skin’s
natural antioxidant capacity and
the subsequent modifications of
cellular redox apparatus lead to
an alteration of cell homeostasis
and a generation of degenerative
processes.
One common fear is premature
aging of the skin. Aging is a basic
biological process common to
all living organisms. Its biological
mechanisms have yet to be
elucidated in detail; however
aging is usually understood
as an irreversible, progressive
loss of homeostatic (cellular
balance) capacity. Given this
fact, let it not be said the most
influential generation dedicated
to combating this issue is
the infamous Baby Boomer
age group. It is this powerful
generation fueling the energy to
battle aging and demanding skin
care products and treatments that
produce results.
They communicate their needs
for nutrition, hormone regulation,
cleansing, excretion, defense,
repair, identification, etc. Their
function is integral to the
connective tissue and cosmetic
appearance of the skin. Playing a
critical role in premature cellular
aging is the stratum corneum
(SC), housing the final stages
of the cells life, and providing
a stable environment to keep
them healthy. The SC is the
outermost layer of the epidermis
and its health depends upon
the presence of certain lipids in
precise associations with cellular
proteins. The main components

of the SC are phospholipids, glucosyl ceramides,
cholesterol (20-25 percent), cholesterol ester, fatty
acid (20-25 percent), and triglycerol.
For pliability and barrier repair, the SC depends
upon the correct balance of lipids and water-soluble
substances such as ceramides. Ceramides are
important in the construction of the lipid barrier and
are imperative to the barrier function, or cohesionadhesion,
of the SC. Ceramides are indigenous in a
healthy SC and provide the majority of long-chain
fatty acids that make up the majority of linolec acid.
Premature aging and mature changing skin lose
these valuable constituents throughout the day, via
natural desertion, and the daily cleansing process.
The critical loss of valuable lipid components
command replenishment of ceramides at least twice
daily, as part of a nourishing skin care program to
combat premature aging. A prudent professional
will ensure the application of only human identical
ceramides in both the clinical environment and for
home care.
In addition to ceramides, Hylauronic acid (HA)
is critical to battle premature and mature skin
aging. HA is a member of the class of aminosugars
containing polysaccharides known as the
glycosaminoglycans, aka (GAGS), widely distributed
in body tissues. During formation of soluble collagen
and the collagen fiber, glycosaminoglycans become
bound to peptide chains. These promote the ability
of collagen to retain water by holding the soluble
fibers apart.

HA remains the most effective, antiaging,
moisturizing nutrient for the
skin with no reported skin reactions
or irritations known. It is the safest
indigenous skin agent and the most
beneficial to cellular health. HA is
able to bind 1000 times its weight
in water and acts like a moisture
magnet to maintain extra cellular
fluidity. As an intercellular ground
substance, HA fills the space
between the collagen and elastic
fibers and is necessary to keep
collagen hydrated.
HA promotes moisture retention.
It also penetrates the skin’s surface
with increased water absorption to
assist in diminishing wrinkles and
treating dry, premature, and mature
aging skin. This valuable constituent
supports the natural protective
mechanism of the skin and can
eliminate active oxygen free radicals
(ROS) produced by ultraviolet
radiation in the epidermis.
The most important activity of
HA is that it acts as a regulator
of cell behavior, influencing
cellular metabolism. The skin care
professional must apply to the skin
as an essential step in a clinical
treatment and for home care. HA
should be used twice daily with
ceramides as an additive to regular
continuance of skin care. This
application will reduce the signs of
premature aging, increase cellular
action, and boost skin health.
Another premature and mature age
related concern is the decrease in
the epidermal cellular turnover that
is approximately 30-50 percent
between the third and eight decade
(age 30 – 80) of a skin’s life. One
important note is how the epidermal
Langerhans cell, largely responsible
for recognition of foreign antigens in
the skin and the third most important
cellular resident in the epidermis,
decreases 25-50 percent between
early and late adulthood, and
substantially contributes to the ageassociated
decrease in cutaneous
immune responsiveness. Photo
damage (UVR) exacerbates the loss
of Langerhans cells, contributing to
the premature aging of the skin. The
amount of dermal mast cells likewise
decreases with age.
One theory related to cellular aging
is the Hayflick Theory. The Hayflick
limit theory of aging, so called after
its discoverer Dr. Leonard Hayflick,
suggests that the human cell is
limited in the number of times it can
divide. Part of this theory could be
affected by cell waste accumulation,
or toxins collected in the cells
brought on by lifestyle imbalances
such as stress, smoking, foods,
drugs, etc.
In 1961, Dr. Hayflick theorized that
the human cells ability to divide is
limited to approximately 50 times,
after which they simply stop dividing
and hence die. Each time a cell
divides, it duplicates itself of poorer
quality than the time before, and
thus this eventually leads to cellular
dysfunction, aging, and then death.
Cell death, however, is the natural
order of the life of skin.
Strange as it may seem, each day
billions of cells kill themselves.
Indeed it’s fundamental to our
health. Failure of cells to die can
lead to problems like cancer, among
other serious disorders. Even in the
fetus, programmed cell death plays
a critical process, helping to shape
the developing body.
One of the most important reasons
for cell death is to get rid of
dangerous cells, those that could be
harmful to the rest of the organism.
Also, positive and negative selection
occurs among cells of the immune
system. Cells that are infected by a
virus can sometimes recognize the
infection and kill themselves before
the virus has time to replicate and
spread to other cells, therefore
maintaining steady vigilance to keep
the skin healthy.
Dr. Hayflick also showed that
nutrition has an effect on cells,
with overfed cells dividing much
faster than underfed cells. Studies
have indicated vitamins and their
derivatives play an important role in
the war against aging cells. There are
four important elements a cell needs:
nourishment, proliferation, function,
and protection. Professional skin
care must mirror the needs of the
cell to produce healthy skin, and
part of an anti-aging skin care
program should include naturally
based nutritional supplements.
Healthy skin from within is a direct
result of good nutrition, influencing
cellular health. Only 9 percent of
Americans eat a healthy, balanced
diet, therefore supplementation is
important and accounts for up to
50 percent of a constructive skin
care program. Unhealthy eating
generates free radicals, leading to
premature aging skin.
One now very famous theory for
aging is the “Free Radical Theory
of Aging” discovered in 1954 by
Dr. Denham Harman, MD, at the
University of Nebraska. When
referring to premature aging skin,
the term free radical has become
synonymous with this condition. The
expression, free radical, describes
any molecule that has a free electron
and this matter causes it to react with
“healthy molecules” in a destructive
manner.
Because the free radical molecule
has an extra electron, it creates
an extra negative charge. This
unbalanced energy makes the
free radical bind itself to another
balanced molecule as it tries to steal
electrons. In doing so, the balanced
molecule becomes unbalanced,
and thus a free radical itself. An
example would be to visualize
bumper cars at a carnival ride and
how disorderly they become as they
impact one another. This is how the
destruction manifests internally with

the cells accelerating the aging process
prematurely.
Free radicals are known to attack
the structure of cell membranes, the
gatekeeper, which then create metabolic
waste products. Such toxic accumulations
interfere with cell communication, disturb
DNA, RNA, and protein synthesis, low
energy levels, and generally impede vital
chemical processes.
There is also a natural production of free
radicals within the body. This is a result of
the production of energy, particularly from
the mitochondria, the energy organelle
of the cell. The simple process of eating,
drinking and breathing forms free radicals
from the energy production cycles, as
the body produces the universal energy
molecule Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP).
ATP, a product of the mitochondria, stores
readily available chemical energy in two
of its chemical bonds and is necessary for
cellular homeostasis.
Although most aestheticians would
rather extract a lesion than understand a
complex science like free radical theory of
aging, ATP, homeostasis, etc, the truth of
skin care today lies in the fact that we are
obligated to learn the complex culprits
that influence premature skin aging so we
can initiate appropriate clinical remedies
and continuance of home skin care for
optimal results.
Aestheticians must surrender to the fact
that they are professionally responsible
to raise the bar of skin treatments and
continuance of home care for clients
to combat these negative intrinsic and
extrinsic effects that impact the skin and
facilitate restoration function to unhealthy
cells. Every skin care professional should
approach caring for this complex immune
organ using science based knowledge
rather than anecdotal and clever marketing
manipulations calculated to trick even the
most savvy aesthetician or physician.
Protecting the skin against the overload
of inflammatory environmental assaults
that bring on premature aging means the
aesthetician and physician must select
“professional only” products where the
company employs the skin as a model for
their product formulations.
In conclusion, to obtain results to increase
cellular health, professional only skin care
products should contain a well organized
system of both chemical and enzymatic
antioxidants, peptides, and AHA’s
coupled with skin indigenous barrier
repair and stratum corneum lipids capable
of synergistic action to mimic a younger
acting skin.

GOOD NEIGHBOR MAY 2018
“To inspire and enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to
reach their full potential as productive, responsible, and caring citizens.”
This is the mission of Boys and Girls
Club of Elko. Boys and Girls Club of
Elko has been providing the children of
Elko, Carlin, Wells, Owyhee, and Spring
Creek a safe, productive environment
to go to since 1999. According to CEO
Rusty Bahr Boys and Girls Club of Elko
currently has 1200 members and a
staff of 24 people. Their service area
includes Elko County with a population
of over 50,000 people.
The club has drastically expanded over
its almost twenty years of existence
in our area. For the first twelve years
the club operated out of trailers that
were located at Southside Elementary
school. It was here that the Boys and
Girls Club of Elko saw so much success
that they were able to secure funding to
build and open a new “Club” in August
of 2013. This dramatically changed the
capabilities of Boys and Girls Club of
Elko. They now had 17,200 square feet
of space to use and were able to double
their membership.
The success of our local Boys and Girls
Club has continued to grow and grow
year after year. They have achieved
the Reader’s Choice Gold award for
being the top non-profit in Elko County
for Five years running. The Club has
received recognition on a national level
as well. They are ranked within the
top 5% of clubs in the nation by Boys
and Girls Clubs of America standards,
they also received the Gold Award
for impact for the third year in a row
in 2017 from the Boys and Girls Clubs
of America. In addition the Board of
Directors for the Boys and Girls Clubs of
Elko received the Eagle award for being
a top performing board in both 2016
and 2017.
These amazing awards directly correlate
to the performance of the club and
their top priorities. In order to achieve
these awards the club must maintain
a certain average daily attendance,
growth, and graduation rate. They
maintain highly structured programs
for the children ages 5-18 that they
serve. The Club’s main priorities are to
help every child live a healthy lifestyle,
make sure they teach their members
to live with character and be civic
minded, they also have a goal to have
members graduate on time with a plan
for the future, and to provide a safe and
positive place for children.
This safe and positive environment is
created through a structured program
where the members rotate daily
through different activities. The Elko
Club has curriculum based activities
each day that include twenty minutes of
“triple play” or physical activity daily, an
Education center that includes twenty
minutes of dedicated reading time, a
life skills center that encompasses drug
and alcohol programs and cooking
programs, an art and game room,
a Technology studio that has- 3D
printers, photography studio, music
recording studio, and other digital arts,
as well as a STEM program with access
to 150 computers. Members get a
breadth of knowledge and skills that
they are able to expand their interests
in and strengthen life skills.
The Boys and Girls Club of Elko is
funded 100% from Community
support. 50% of this funding comes
from extremely generous yearly local
donors, with roughly 8-10% coming
from grant funds, and the other 40%
84 www.EverythingElko.com \ May 2018

eing raised through one of the Club’s eleven
fundraisers throughout the year. Donations
and fundraisers have led to the ability for
the club to expand even further. In Elko they
will be adding a teen center onto the current
facility. This center will provide dedicated space
for tweens and teens. It will add their own
exercise and work out area, as well as additional
classroom space for them. There is also an
expansion that is in progress for the Boys and
Girls Club in Wells. This will add a full size gym,
commercial kitchen, and create the ability to
open up membership through high school as
the wells Club only currently serves members
through sixth grade. The Club will also be
expanding into Spring Creek, and providing
those members with their own facility. It will
have a full gym, play land, water/spray pad.
With all of the amazing growth and changes
that the Boys and Girls Club has gone through
and continues to face it is a true testament to
their board and CEO for being able to have an
eye to the future. They are preparing so many
of our local children to be healthy, civic minded
adults. 48% of their members fall below the
poverty line, but no one is turned away based
on their ability to pay tuition. The club accepts
members with open arms and provides them
safe space to learn and grow. We would like to
take the time to give a huge thank you to Rusty
Bahr and his staff, as well as the board for the
amazing and dedicated work that they do!
Thank you for being a good neighbor!

Spring is here! Time to celebrate and be Love, kindness and affection overflows
thankful especially for our mothers. Being into sweetness, security, protection,
a mother is a challenging job. Whether nurturing, selflessness, sacrifice, strength,
your kids walk on two legs or four. We want understanding, helpfulness, support,
you to know that you are appreciated! courage and responsibility. Some of
Caring for anything is often thankless. these same thoughts come to mind when
“Mother” is a powerful word for people we think of our pets. The unconditional,
who understand what mother means unlimited selfless love between mothers
to them and what role she plays in our and their children is similar to that
lives. When we think about our mothers between pets and their person or people.
many thoughts may come to our minds.
From all of us here at Elko Veterinary Clinic, thank you to all you pet parents
out there for all hard work and everything that you provide!

the joy,
the love,
the heartache,
the wonderment
or the satisfaction of being
A dog Mom.

Rev. JoAnna Sidwell
Trans-denominational Minister, Usui
Reiki, & Crystal Reiki Master Teacher

“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.”
