Art in the Park is the top fundraiser held 

by the Elko County Art Club (ECAC). 

Art in the Park (AIP) is a weekend event 

with hundreds of vendors coming from 

all across the west! The event itself is 

held in the Elko City Park, and it is here 

under the big trees where countless 

vendors come to sell their artwork 

and handmade crafts. Food vendors 

are also present to keep everyone 

full while shopping. The event is well 

attended by thousands of people in the 

community and is an annual tradition. 

AIP is held this year (2018) on July 14th 

and 15th with set-up on the afternoon 

of Friday the 13th. Proceeds from this 

event support the ECAC’s activities, 

scholarship awards and the Art Gallery. 

The entire AIP event is organized and 

run by the dedicated members of the 

Elko County Art Club. 

This two-day family friendly event is 

free for all visitors and attendees! We 

want to encourage local artists from 

Elko County and surroundings to sign 

up early to get preferred booth size 

and space. 

This year’s marketplace will include 

both new and returning vendors with 

custom goods including art, jewelry, 

specialty foods, children’s items 

and much more. Please check back 

periodically to see the list of vendors, 

entertainment, and food trucks 

So come on out and join us at 

Elko's largest art-based event 

and bring your friends and 

family. This wonderful summer

Zucchini Bruschetta Boats 

Recipe Photo & photo recipe courtesy of of abeautifulplate.com 

wholesomeyum.com 

Ingredients: 

• 16 ounces cream cheese softened 

• 1/2 teaspoon monk fruit concentrated powder 

• 1/4 teaspoon stevia concentrated powder 

• 1 cup heavy whipping cream 

• 16 ounces strawberries cut into bite sized pieces 

• 14 ounces blueberries about 4 cups 

• 12 ounces blackberries about 2 cups 

• 6 ounces raspberries about 1 cup 

Preparation: 

Beat cream cheese with electric mixer until smooth. Add in monk fruit, stevia, and heavy 

whipping cream. Beat with electric mixer until thick and creamy. If too thick, a little extra 

cream can be added. Fold in fresh berries. Store in fridge or serve immediately. 

Recipe Notes: A total of about 1/2 cup sugar equivalent is needed in the recipe. 

Something like Swerve or Splenda can be used instead of the monk fruit and stevia blend. 

Ingredients: 

• 3 medium Zucchini 

• 2 cups Grape tomatoes (halved) 

• 1 cup Sun-dried tomatoes (drained, 

chopped) 

• 1/4 cup Fresh basil (chopped) 

• 4 cloves Garlic (minced) 

• 1 tbsp Balsamic vinegar 

• 2 tbsp Olive oil (divided) 

• 3/4 cup Mozzarella cheese (shredded) 

• Sea salt 

• Black pepper 

Preparation: 

In a large bowl, stir together oats, chocolate chips, peanuts, mini M&Ms, melted 

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil (greased lightly) 

or parchment paper. 

Slice each zucchini in half lengthwise. Use a spoon or melon baller to scoop out 

a hollow area in the middle for the filling. Arrange the zucchini cut side up on 

the lined baking sheet. Brush or spray with olive oil (about a tablespoon total). 

Sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper. 

Roast the zucchini in the oven for 12-15 minutes, until golden. Meanwhile, 

combine the grape tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes, minced garlic, fresh basil, 

balsamic vinegar, and remaining olive oil. Add sea salt and black pepper to taste. 

When the zucchini is done, spoon the bruschetta tomato mixture into each 

zucchini boat. Bake for 10 minutes, until the tomatoes are soft. Afterward, set the 

oven to the broil setting. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top of the bruschetta. Broil 

for 2-3 minutes, until cheese is melted and golden.

Anthony Around Town 

JESSIE BAHR: 

President of Spring Creek Association 

Spring Creek 

One of the many great things about doing 

Anthony Around Town is that, hopefully, you the 

reader have an opportunity to hear the story of 

a different member of your peers every week. 

That’s always a lot of fun! Moreover, I also love 

giving you all a chance to get to know a little 

bit more about my (Anthony Crosby) story 

throughout the growth of this blog because I 

not only have a desire for you to read my work 

every week but to get to know the guy behind 

the keyboard more personally as well. Which, 

hopefully, will heighten your enjoyment of these 

pieces. 

With that being said, as some of you may know, 

Elko has become my adopted home over the last 

seven or so years. When I moved to this town 

during the Summer of 2011, my entire life could 

(and did) fit into my tiny red Lanos Daweoo. I had 

relationships here before making the trek but 

no immediate family or anything of that nature. 

Fast forward a couple of months after coming 

over from Reno, I needed a place to live as I was 

looking to get established. Now, this may not be 

the safest way to go about doing this I admit, 

but I hoped on Rudy Want Ads and found a 

couple with a room to rent in their Spring Creek 

house. I had never met this couple before but 

within what felt like a day, I was sleeping under 

their roof. And honestly, I cannot for the life of 

me remember the name of that couple, but I 

really enjoyed my time with them. They were 

kind, generous, and practically played a big role 

in where I am today. So, to the wonderful couple 

I’m referring to if you’re reading this… thank you 

for opening up your home to a random kid from 

Reno for a couple of months. Spending time 

living with you was my first real experience with 

the town of Spring Creek. Although I “live in 

town” now, I really enjoyed/enjoy my time out 

there. I mean the view you all have out there, 

it can’t be beat! I love you, Spring Creek! And I 

know our guest this week does as well. 

This week, our featured resident is Jessie Bahr, 

president of the Spring Creek Association. Now, 

if you’ve been following Anthony Around Town 

over the last several months, then you know 

we keep things real around here. Traditionally, 

when these types of interviews take place, 

the person of the week will meet with me, for 

about an hour or so, over coffee or something 

24 

24 www.EverythingElko.com \ | June July 2018

- Everyone has a story. Whats yours? - 

of that nature. However, this week just seemed 

to be full of scheduling conflicts (all on my end) 

so this just wasn’t able to happen. I was still able 

to hear Jessie’s awesome story and heart for her 

community. I didn’t want to miss what she had to 

say, and I don’t want you to either! 

So, with our time with Jessie, we’re going to 

cover three big things: who, how, and heart. Who 

is Jessie Bahr? How did she get to where she is? 

What is heart behind what she does? I’m excited 

for you all to hear from her; let’s get started! 

JESSIE BAHR. WHO ARE YOU? 

Currently, I serve as the President of the Spring 

Creek Association. I have lived in the Association 

since 2013 and I saw a need for positive change 

and decided I wanted to help make Spring Creek 

a better place for all. I took over operations of 

the SCA in 2016 and have been working hard to 

fix many issues the community has been facing 

for years including water issues, roads, updating 

amenities, internet etc. There are many areas that 

we can grow as we move towards operational 

excellence and sustainability. We are aware of 

some issues we have faced since the early 80’s, 

and these will take time to fix, so we appreciate 

the positive communication and patience of the 

residents in Spring Creek. 

Spring Creek is a growing community, almost 

15,000 residents and master planned for many 

more. There is a large development across from 

the high school slated for 4,000 additional homes. 

I look forward to helping the SCA Board bring 

resources to the residents including commercial 

businesses, reliable internet, affordable water rates, 

updated amenities, and a solid infrastructure as we 

work over the next few years. It is very rewarding 

coming to the office each day knowing you are 

there to make a real difference in the lives of the 

residents, to the place my family and I call home. 

Without the support of a solid board, community 

Toki Ona has been a local favorite 

since 1990 when the restaurant 

first opened. Our restaurant and 

bar is known for serving fresh, 

never frozen, beef, lamb, pork, 

chicken and seafood entrees in 

both Basque and American style 

dishes. We pride ourselves with 

serving large portions, making sure 

you leave full and happy. All beef 

is IBP Choice or Certified Black 

Angus Choice. Toki Ona has a 

full service bar where you can sit 

and chat with friends or family in a 

nice and quiet environment. 

Here at Toki Ona, our main priority 

is customer satisfaction. Our 

friendly and happy staff treats 

every dinner as if they are family. 

STOP IN, LET US COOK FOR YOU! 

Enjoy our delicious Steak and Lobster or 

Basque Style Baked Lamb and wash it 

down with a Picon Punch or Kalimotxo.

www.eattokiona.com 

Open 7 days a week 6:00am-9:30pm

and the staff team who make up the SCA, we 

would not be nearly as far as we are. It takes a 

tremendous amount of resolve, patience, and 

determination to be successful in the positions 

the staff team fills, and I truly am grateful for them 

coming to the office each day with a smiling face. 

HOW DID YOU GET WHERE YOU 

ARE TODAY, JESSIE? 

Well, I’m from the East Coast. I grew up living 

between New Jersey and Pennsylvania (so 

yes, if you have heard me speak I say “water” 

like “wooder”). My father was a mechanic in 

Jersey and mother worked three jobs to keep 

my brother, sister and I together. I realized at a 

very young age that I had to do well and make 

a living for myself if I wanted to make a real 

difference. My mother taught me how to be 

independent and that anything was possible with 

determination. And, as a single mother of 3 who 

also worked three jobs, I figured I had better 

listen to her advice. I went to college, played 

field hockey, and graduated with honors with 

a chemistry degree. I was very involved in nonprofits 

and giving back at a young age. I started 

working in the community development field out 

of college and really enjoyed bringing resources, 

organizations, and collaborations together for the 

greater good. I was coached and mentored in my 

early years by many great CEO’s who taught me 

key skill has made me successful today. I moved 

from the East Coast in 2012 and moved to Elko 

County in 2013. I met my now husband Rusty, 

who is the CEO at the Boys and Girls Clubs of 

Elko (Anthony Note: maybe we’ll hear from him 

in a future Blog) and moved here to help make 

Elko County a great place to live for all. We have 

three wonderful younger children and three older 

children who are out of the house…you could say 

we are a busy family! We are avid supporters of 

many community organizations including child 

advocates, soccer clubs like Northern Nevada 

Youth Soccer Association and SC United and our 

church Ruby Mountain Bible Church. 

WHAT IS YOUR HEART FOR SPRING CREEK 

AND ITS PEOPLE? WHAT DOES THE AREA 

MEAN TO YOU? 

Spring Creek is home. Home to a diverse set of 

residents and values just over the hill. Coming 

from a large area where you’d jump on eight-lane 

freeways every day, you come to appreciate the 

richness of humanity coexisting here at the base 

of the Ruby Mountains. We appreciate the small 

community feeling where “everybody knows 

your name” or knows who to call if you need 

something. Each day I have unexpected and 

fascinating conversations which I enjoy. 

The reason I pursued the vacant position with SCA 

began with the fact that I am a property owner. I 

had frustrations like many have had and still have, 

regarding the roads, amenities and other items. 

I believe that the best avenue to make change 

is getting involved, stepping up and using your 

time and talents to make positive improvements.. 

so I applied and accepted the offer of the board. 

Spring Creek is my home and where my family, 

friends, and neighbors reside. This is not a job for 

me; this is a mission. A mission to make Spring 

Creek an amazing place to live and thrive for all. 

Spring Creek faces many obstacles, but if we stick 

together as a community, for the greater good, 

we will be able to overcome our obstacles and 

challenges. We have tremendous potential and, 

with the board, staff, and communities’ help, we 

can continue to make positive changes for good. 

It will take time and patience from all parties, but 

the vision is set… we just need to execute it! 

Thank you so much for your encouraging 

words, Jessie! For me, I know I will have a 

greater sense of appreciation and optimism for 

the future of Spring Creek the next time I take 

a drive over the summit!

sharing your story with our 

readers, please email

We’d love to talk with you!

Khoury's 

Wine of the Month 

Wine making has happened in this country just about as 

long as this country has been a country! 

Ben Franklin knew about it. So did George 

Washington, Abe Lincoln and Alexander 

Hamilton. Aaron Burr should have stopped to 

enjoy a nice glass of Zinfandel, maybe then he 

might not have behaved the way that he did. 

Anyway, American made wines are just that, 

American as Old Glory herself. 

So, what could be better to take to your 

Independence Day BBQ than good ole’ USA 

made vino! 

Don’t let the Party affiliation scare you. The 

Federalist’s opposed anti-Federalists who 

really were the Democratic-Republicans, The 

Democratic-Republicans opposed each other, 

the Whigs opposed what they said the day 

before and Kim Kardashian opposes the color 

of the carpet in the oval office. 

None of that matters. Grab a bottle of American 

made Federalist wine and declare yourself; 

The Leader of The PARTY PARTY! 

You believe in a good time and oppose those 

who drag you down. You stand for life, liberty 

and the pursuit of a juicy burger to go with that 

wine. You are the pioneer of the 4th of July 

block party! And you won’t be held back. 

Wine on America!

THE Pygmy RABBIT 

THE 

SMALLEST 

RABBIT 

SPECIES IN 

NORTH 

AMERICA 

AND FIT 

EASILY IN 

THE PALM 

OF A HAND. 

The pygmy rabbit, Brachylagus 

idahoensis, is the smallest rabbit 

species in North America and fit 

easily in the palm of a hand. They 

weigh between 0.88 to 1.01 lb. They 

are 9.25 to 11.6 inches long. Their 

fur color varies from brown to dark 

grey with white around the margins 

of their short, round ears. Their ears 

and feet are densely covered in hair 

and they have a very short tail. Pygmy 

Rabbits have an entirely gray-brown 

tail, instead of the familiar white 

underside of the tail that is present in 

all cottontail (Sylvilagus) species. 

Pygmy rabbits are mainly found in 

big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata) 

habitats and in some rabbitbrush 

communities. They are the only 

rabbit species in North America to 

dig their own burrows. Burrows are 

dug in deep loose soil with multiple, 

interconnecting chambers. They also 

use natural cavities and the burrows 

of other animals. Burrows have 

several entrances, usually at the bases 

of large sagebrush shrubs. Pygmy 

rabbits use a system of runways 

between food plants, both above 

ground in the summer and below the 

snow in winter. They move close to 

the ground and generally don’t leap. 

Pygmy rabbits produce several 

vocalizations characterized as 

squeals, squeaks, and chuckles. 

They squeal when alarmed. They eat 

mostly sagebrush with up to 98% of 

their winter diet being sagebrush. In 

the summer and spring months their 

diet can include up to 40% grasses 

and forbs in addition to sagebrush. 

They are active throughout the year 

mainly at dusk and dawn. Predators 

of the pygmy rabbit include weasels, 

coyotes, raptors, badgers, bobcats, 

and humans. 

Field surveys are currently being 

conducted to determine the 

abundance and distribution of pygmy 

rabbits in northern and central 

Nevada. Miranda Crowell, PhD

has been studying the pygmy rabbit. She and her 

team have partnered with NDOW, BLM, USFWS, 

USFS, the Great Basin LCC and the Greater Hart- 

Sheldon Conservation Fund. Pygmy rabbit’s 

changes in population sizes, densities, and longterm 

movement are relatively understudied and 

unknown range-wide. This project encompasses 

many aspects of pygmy rabbit ecology such as 

genetic and habitat connectivity. Since 2016, they 

have been conducting mark-recapture studies 

at 5 sites across the Great Basin to investigate 

changing population densities, as well as a crude 

view of short-term and long-term movements by 

recaptured individuals. Over the past 2 years, 

they have also discovered that these populations 

are shifting around the study sites, rendering 

some burrow systems inactive, and digging new 

ones in other places. Miranda will be giving a 

presentation on this research at the Bristlecone 

Audubon meeting on Friday, July 13, 2018 at 

7:00 p.m. in room 208 of the DCIT Building at 

Great Basin College (1050 Chilton Circle, Elko, 

NV). Everyone is invited to attend.

spray, cream and serum.

Landscape 

& Gardening 

for Northern Nevada 

Contributed by Marvel Clyde, Colorscapes 

We're all looking for plants that are easy to 

grow so we can spend more time enjoying 

them and less time maintaining them. So, 

here's the challenge to people looking for 

plants to enrich their lives: 

Prior planning prevents poor performance. 

The time and energy spent on the design and 

preparing for planting will always define the 

difference between plants that thrive and 

plants that dive. 

Start with a design that includes garden areas 

with shrubs and perennials and then select and 

group plants that have the same light, soil, and water 

requirements. Do your homework so you can shop with 

a list of possibilities. Pictures of the area or a picture 

from a magazine that appeals to you are also ways to 

increase your chances of finding just the right plants; 

but be flexible and willing to try plants suggested by a 

trusted retailer. Gardening is for those of us who love to 

be around plants in general and enjoy spending time 

outside caring for them and landscaping is designing 

with plants to fit the right plants in the right place to 

minimize maintenance chores. 

Designing for curb appeal determines how 

others see your landscape in passing, sets the 

tone for a welcoming entrance for you and your guests, 

and increases the value of your property. The backyard 

is where we tend to kick off our shoes and spend time 

relaxing outside enjoying container gardens, perennial 

gardens for seasonal color, and large shrubs as garden 

backdrops and vertical elements that provide privacy 

and a sense of enclosure as we avoid views and noises 

from intrusive surroundings. On the design, the average 

garden depth is two-thirds of the mature height of the 

tallest planting. Ex: A design that includes shrubs that 

mature at a height of 9' look best in a garden that is a 

minimum of 6' in depth. With a larger lot size, that depth 

can be extended to include small trees that mature to 

a full 25’. I advocate using a mix rather than a single 

variety planting in an effort to create diversity in the 

landscape that will also be appealing to a wider range of 

beneficials. Adding a mix of perennials further increases 

the overall beauty and chances to attract and sustain 

birds, bees, butterflies, and a host of beneficials that 

add to the sensory pleasures of being outside and keep 

pests in check. 

Establish edges to define where the gardens 

within the landscape begin and end. Edging 

is available in a range of materials. Criteria can include 

ease of installation, durability, aesthetic qualities, and 

availability for future installations. Using consistent 

edging material for nearby areas as they're developed 

adds continuity to the site. Garden walls and other 

raised bed designs hold soil in place and add a threedimensional 

element to an otherwise one-dimensional/ 

flat view of the garden. Lawn areas will encroach 

into garden beds regardless of border edging, so be 

prepared for that inevitability. 

Improve soil for plant root development and 

water conservation. I work new beds 10-12 

inches in depth with a tiller, topdress with 2-3 inches of 

organic amendments, and then bring the tiller tines up 

to incorporate the amendments into the top 4-6 inches 

of soil. Machinery can be rented or digging by hand is 

always an option. The time and energy spent breaking 

up compacted soil and preparing a garden area for 

planting will always pay off in the long run. I prefer to 

use organic amendments since they feed both the soil 

and the plants. Rejuvenating an existing garden? Start 

by digging out weeds and weedy looking plants that 

don't fit into the design; if it's a really cool plant, lift out 

for saving, otherwise, toss it. We don't use ground fabric 

in the gardens, ever, but we do use it under the washed 

gravel in the outdoor retail areas and under bark in the 

gazebo area. 

Topdress with a slow-release fertilizer and 2-4 

inches of mulch. I apply a 14-14-14 slow-release 

fertilizer combined with iron at the rate of one pound 

per 100 sq.ft. of garden area. Literally defined, mulch 

means a protective covering spread on the ground to 

reduce evaporation and suppress weeds. Mulches often 

include chipped or shredded bark, rubber (yuck!), and 

given the creative forces behind gardening, the list goes 

on. I use mulch between perennials and shrubs in the 

gardens after cutting back the perennials in late fall. So, 

you might be asking yourself, "What's the difference 

between adding an amendment and using mulch?", 

short answer, not much. Typically, amendments are 

incorporated before planting, and mulch is used after. 

Mulch before when planting plants in 6" or smaller pots 

fairly close to one another and after planting bigger 

perennials and shrubs. Mulching is an important step 

since it will deter weeds, conserve water, and improve 

the tilth of the soil. Gardeners have their own favorite, I 

like those that break down within two seasons, feeding 

the soil and the organisms that make healthy plants 

possible. Gravel as mulch in the gardens is preferred by 

xeric plants and designs that include rock gardens. 


Establish how the garden will be most easily, 

yet efficiently, watered. In-ground systems 

with flexible poly and rigid risers are easy to install, 

manageable, and reliable, but, risk saturating blooms 

with water and can block/deflect water to mid and back 

sections of the garden as plants mature. Connected 

emitters on a drip system, low-volume soaker hoses, 

and drip tube systems are water-wise, but need to be 

constantly monitored to ensure that they are delivering 

enough water to thoroughly soak the entire root zone of 

all plantings. Water timers at the faucet can be used to 

deliver water intermittently. Last fall I replaced 750 feet 

of soaker hoses. After 20 years, it was simply time for this 

needed chore. 

Water newly planted gardens thoroughly and 

frequently until established. Even water-wise 

plants need to be kept evenly moist while roots work their 

way into the soil, especially those planted in the heat of 

summer. Once established, after one full growing season, 

continue to water thoroughly, but less frequently. All plants 

need a supply of oxygen to the roots, so avoid overwatering 

once plants are established. As temperatures 

rise in July and August, we increase watering to every five 

days. With our 12 gardens, using an excel spread sheet 

to schedule watering days. A deep, thorough watering is 

better than light, frequent watering in the gardens and for 

lawn areas. The days of set it-forget it are long gone. Let 

the weather determine whether to water. Rule of thumb: 

10 gallons per week per inch of tree diameter. 

Avoid the use of chemicals to eradicate weeds 

and insects. It's a buggy world, but they're not all 

bad guys. The use of chemicals in the home landscape has 

been the leading cause of the decline in beneficial insects 

that keep populations of detrimental insects in check. In 

driveway areas, weed burners provide a safer alternative 

to spraying. Pulling weeds is part of gardening and if 

you get them before they go to seed, the chore is made 

exponentially easier. Keeping invasive grass mowed will 

reduce breeding grounds for pests and also lessen the risk 

of wildfire spread as summer temps rise and grasses dry. 

Water-wise landscaping/xeriscape incorporates 

seven landscape principles that make a lowmaintenance, 

water-wise landscape both attractive and 

attainable: 

Thoughtful planning, improving soil conditions, limiting 

turf areas, mulching, grouping plants with similar water 

needs, efficient irrigation, and maintenance including 

weeding, pruning, and scheduled fertilizing. I believe 

that most mortalities in the landscape can be directed 

to the amount of water a plant needs vs. the amount of 

water a plant gets. Water-wise plants have adapted over 

many years to hold the water they need in their roots 

and foliage. Pubescent foliage with its fine hairs, traps 

moisture, narrow leaves also tend to require less water. 

An example of a xeric (zir-ik) plant; is Cerastium 'Snow in 

Summer'. 

Avoid the overwhelming task of taking on the 

entire landscape in one season. Divide the 

landscape into areas (some designers refer to these areas 

as rooms) and fully develop one area before moving 

onto the next. Start with a plan, it can be sketched onto a 

napkin or precisely drawn to scale. You can do it yourself, 

or have it professionally done, either way, it's a necessary 

start to a successful finish. 

Bringing the beauty of 

nature to Northern Nevada 

There are lots of great books out there on 

landscaping/gardening. I would recommend: 

Taylor's Master Guide to Landscaping by Rita 

Buchanan. This is a great book. The pictures and 

text are so well done with easy and practical 

advice on adding new gardens and hardscapes 

along with "makeovers" for problem solving. 

Backyard Design, Making the Most of the 

Space Around Your House by Jean Spiro 

Breskend. I leave this book outside through 

the summer and look at it whenever I have 

a chance to sit and relax under the gazebo. 

The pictures give me ideas on how to balance 

time:energy:space:design in my own backyard.

TRAVEL 

History 

Contributed by Sue Bradford of 


If history is what you are looking for in your next vacation, then look no further than Athens. 

A city rich in history and culture, Athens is a must see for any European vacation. 

Most people do have a love-hate 

relationship to Greece's capital. On 

one hand it is a city with a wide variety 

of things to see and do. From here you 

can also get to most places in Greece: 

by air, train, boat or bus. On the other 

hand it is a huge, busy place with about 

half of Greece's population living there 

(close to 5 million), which leads to 

problems with traffic jams and pollution, 

especially the smog. It is a fascinating 

place, though. It is one of the oldest 

cities in the world and walking through 

its ancient Agora or on the Acropolis, 

it does make you feel you are walking 

on, if not sacred, very important 

ground. Many historic areas of Athens 

have been made for pedestrians 

only, like the whole Area around 

Acropolis, as well as the Ermou Street, 

the main shopping street of Athens. 

WHAT TO DO THERE 

The first place you should visit when 

in Athens is of course the Acropolis. 

Standing up there, on the sacred rock 

as the Greeks call it, you can practically 

feel the magnificence of ancient 

Greece. Don't think you'll be alone 

there though. 

Other archaeological sites are 

the agora, the market, with the 

temple to Hephaistos still in quite 

good shape, as well as the temple 

to Zeus and the arch of Hadrian. 

Museums of interest are the Acropolis 

museum, the National Archeological 

museum, the Folklore museum, the 

Ceramics museum (Keramikos), the 

Byzantine museum, the Music museum, 

the War museum, and the Benaki 

museum. All in all, there are about 50 

museums in Athens. 

A popular place for shopping or food 

and drink is Plaka, just below the 

Acropolis. It is considered quite a 

touristy area, but the fact is that you 

here can get an idea of old Athens, 

with low buildings and little streets. In 

Monastiraki there is a bazaar which is 

quite incredible and considered to be a 

must stop for shopping. 

At the Syntagma Square you can visit 

the Tomb of the Unknown soldier. 

Here you can see the guards in their 

impressing uniforms, the Evzones, and 

if you are lucky you will see the slow 

and complicated change of guards. 

Interestingly, there used to be a tomb 

to the unknown hero in ancient Athens 

as well. 

There are also several beaches at 

Athens Riviera The most popular ones 

are in Glyfada, Vouliagmeni, Varkiza, 

Nea Makri, Crysi Akti (Golden Coast ), 

Lagonisi, Kavouri and Alimos. Most of 

the beaches in Athens are organized 

and you have to pay a small entrance 

fee to these beaches. This is to keep 

them clean since they have millions of 

visitors every summer.

Building Unity 

through 

Community Service 

“Those who are happiest are those who do the most for others.” 

—Booker T. Washington, African American Civil Rights Leader 

When it comes to community 

service, most often it is thought 

that the organization or person 

being served as receiving the 

greatest benefit. Research, 

however, indicates that service 

also benefits those who volunteer 

and serve others. 

A 2007 report from the 

Corporation for National and 

Community Service outlines 

the many physical and mental 

health benefits of volunteering, 

including helping to overcome 

depression, a better quality of 

life, and living longer. 

In a more recent (2017) study, 

Professor Laura M. Padilla- 

Walker, of the School of Family 

Life, Brigham Young University, 

documents the benefits for teens 

who serve, especially when 

serving strangers. The benefits 

cited in the research brief include 

increased self-esteem, protection 

from getting involved in problem 

behaviors, and developing a 

moral identity. 

Often when we hear “community 

service” or “service project” 

we think of something big like 

a food or clothing drive, Elko’s 

Green Up, Clean Up day, or 

even the community coming 

together when a disaster 

strikes, such as last year’s flood 

and fires. These are important 

projects and a time when the 

community members unite. Not 

all service and volunteer efforts 

have to be large scale efforts, 

volunteers are needed every day. 

By volunteering regularly, we 

can strengthen the unity of our 

community every day, as well as 

reap the benefits of service. 

So, where does one find 

meaningful service? The answer 

is: JustServe.org, a website 

created specifically to connect 

organizations with volunteers. 

JustServe.org is a free community 

resource where participating 

organizations visit the website 

to post service needs to a 

wide range of volunteers; and 

volunteers visit the website to 

locate service opportunities that 

best fit their interests, skills, and 

availability. 

JustServe has been available in 

Elko for approximately four years 

but has gained momentum in 

recent months with a wider range 

of faith, nonprofit, community, 

and government organizations 

posting their volunteer needs 


“I have been involved in a few 

JustServe.org projects in Elko,” 

relates Brian Boyd. “One memorable 

project was installing privacy slats in 

an elementary school fence, so the 

children could play, out of sight of 

traffic. The school personnel provided 

all the supplies and were very grateful 

for my help, even though I could 

only spend one afternoon there. My 

experience has always been positive 

with each organization, and I feel good 

giving back to my community.” 

to the website. As more organizations and 

volunteers are using the site, it is easier to 

match the needs with the volunteers. 

At times volunteers with special skills, such 

as sewing, carpentry, or photography are 

needed, but there are many projects that 

just need someone to lend a helping hand 

for any amount of time the volunteer has to 

serve. 

JustServe strives to be a win-winwin 

for all—the organization needing 

volunteers, the volunteer, and 

ultimately building unity within the 

community.

To volunteer, click on a project to select it 

and view information about the project and 

the sponsoring organization. Click on “Learn 

More,” provide any information that may be 

asked for by the sponsoring organization, such 

as when you would be available to volunteer, 

and then click on “Volunteer.” 

Groups and organizations who have projects 

may submit projects for posting, by registering 

on the website and using the “Submit A 

Project” located at the bottom page. The 

project will be reviewed to make sure it 

meets JustServe guidelines and then it will be 

posted. There are also several local JustServe 

Specialists in Elko to answer questions and 

help with posting projects. 

A JustServe app for mobile devices available 

from the Apple App Store and for Android on 

Google play so you can volunteer on the go. 

A link to JustServe can also be found in the 

Everything Elko app. 

JustServe is sponsored as a service by The 

Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. 

Although sponsored by a church, the website is 

for all faiths and community members, without 

cost or obligation. As the website states, “At 

JustServe, we believe that nothing should get 

in the way of organizations and volunteers 

coming together to do good things for the 

community, so we help make this happen.”

CBD 

WHAT IS CBD? 

CBD is a natural constituent of hemp that 

has been shown to have positive health 

benefits, without causing psychoactive 

effects. 

CBD-rich hemp provides a legal alternative 

to medical marijuana and allows the 

consumer to enjoy the benefits of CBD 

without the risk of getting high. 

Since CBD has no psychoactive effect, it 

is an excellent option for people seeking 

the benefits of cannabis products without 

breaking federal law or risking impairment. 

CBD HEALTH BENEFITS 

CBD has been the subject of 

several health-related studies. 

We have highlighted 

several of the of the 

findings below: 

NEUROPROTECTIVE BENEFITS OF CBD 

A 2015 study found that CBD may be 

neuroprotective in adult and neonatal 

ischemia, brain trauma, Alzheimer’s 

disease, Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s 

chorea, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis 

(Lou Gehrig's disease).

THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF 

digital 

deto 

Contributed by Dr. Todd Wendell of 

Ruby Mountain Chiropractic 

Feel like phones are ruining family time? While a physical lock and chain may 

be unrealistic, institute a no phone policy during meals together. 

Living in a world awash in technology can make life easier in some respects, but it can 

also be enslaving and detrimental to health and relationships. Whether we spend hours 

texting and tweeting or surfing and gaming, tech time can potentially become addictive. 

The average Facebooker spends 2-3 hours a day in the digital world in 30-40 

minute increments. That’s about 42 days out of the year. 

There’s no doubt that technology can play a vital role in our workday and everyday life. 

There are times though when a break is in order. 

Here are five ways to institute a digital detox: 

1. Put away phones and other devices 

at mealtimes. By turning your phone 

or tablet off while eating with family 

and friends, you’re cultivating critical 

bonds with each other. That’s priceless. 

Consider setting a bucket on the 

counter that everyone puts their 

devices in from 6 pm to 9 pm. 

2. Take a holiday from technology during 

your travels. Whether you’re tempted 

to post a picture from Paris or tweet 

a review of a fabulous restaurant 

in Rome, resist the urge. Instead, 

experience your vacation with the 

people you’re with.

www.EverythingElko.com | July 2018

3. Put to bed blue light distractions. 

Consider powering down your phone 

and other devices at least one hour 

before your head hits the pillow. You’ll 

likely unwind easier and may sleep 

better as you won’t be exposed to 

the blue light from your gadgets. Your 

sleep plays a vital role in your healing 

and repairs from your day. 

4. Impose a daily limit on tech time. 

Consider checking your email fewer 

times a day, going on social 

media less and turning your 

phone off by a specific 

time at night.

5. Fill your technology-free 

time. Imagine all the things 

you can do when technology 

isn’t sneakily stealing your time. 

Relax, get together with friends 

or family, exercise, take a trip, learn 

something new or volunteer. The options 

are seemingly endless. 

While it’s unrealistic that we’ll adopt a monasticlike 

existence without worldly distractions, 

occasional or regular digital detoxes can nourish 

the mind and body. For another form of detox, 

ensure your nervous system is functioning 

optimally by scheduling an appointment with us 

to scientifically measure and compare your spine 

to normal.

Special 

Olympics 

Elko, Nevada 

Special Olympics athletes from Elko competed 

in track and field events in Reno twice over 

the last month. The fabulous 15 from Elko 

competed against northern Nevada athletes 

on May 19th and culminated their 2018 track 

season by competing against nearly 200 

track and field athletes on June 2nd from all 

Special Olympics programs in Nevada. A total 

of 450 athletes and coaches from Nevada 

participated in this year's Summer Games. 

The athletes competed, received medals

TEAM ELKO greatly appreciates your 

commitment to make our athletes' 

experiences positive and life-long memories. 

and ribbons from law enforcement agencies 

from all over our great state including three 

Representatives from our very own Elko County 

Sheriff's Office. The incredible weekend was 

capped off by an evening of dancing to their 

favorite songs! 

Special Olympics Nevada and Special Olympics 

Elko would not exist without the hard work, 

contributions and collaborative efforts of 

committed community volunteers. For many 

years, Nevada's law enforcement agencies lead 

the way in contributions, fund-raising events 

and volunteering their personal time to support 

our athletes. Our Elko area law enforcement 

agencies are a committed group of professionals 

including Elko County Sheriff's Office, Elko Police 

Department, Nevada Highway Patrol and other 

northeastern Nevada agencies. Sheriff Jim Pitts 

has been a leader in supporting Nevada's Special 

Olympic athletes for many years. Our local law 

enforcement agencies raise more funds than 

any other group with The Torch Run, Special 

Olympics Polar Plunge, Tip-a-Cop and our 

celebrated Cops and Burgers event. Local area 

merchants, led by Gold Dust West, Ledgestone 

Hotel and TownePlace Suites, support our local 

program each year. It is the continued support of 

Telescope Lanes (bowling) and Elko High School 

(track and field) that allow our athletes the facilities 

to train and prepare for their competitions. 

Spring Creek High School's KEY CLUB raised 

money and traveled to Reno for Summer Games 

to volunteer their time to ensure our athletes 

were safe and well taken care of at Summer 

Games. Their enthusiasm was contagious as 

they escorted athletes from event to event at the 

athletic venue. A big thank you to Coach USA 

and Frederick Becker for transporting us safely 

to our events. Our athletes would have never 

trained nor traveled and competed without our 

invaluable Special Olympics volunteer coaches 

from Elko. They accounted for and kept safe all 

of our athletes during our travel, over-night stays 

and during competition. Coaches Tami, Barb, 

Amber and Patty...thank you! Thank you to Sonny 

and the entire HHDS staff for supporting our 

athletes. Harry and Jordan from Special Olympics 

Nevada...Team Elko greatly appreciates your 

commitment to make our athletes' experiences 

positive and life-long memories. 

Elko's Ryan Allred was selected from 3,200 

Special Olympic Nevada athletes to join 27 

other Nevada athletes at the 2018 USA Games 

in Seattle. Ryan will participate in the running 

long jump, shot put and the 100 meter dash at 

the track and field competition. Ryan competed 

in regional and state competitions and continues 

to train for his July competition in Seattle. ESPN 

will be broadcasting some of the competitions. 

Ryan is excited to be going to USA Games and 

honored to represent Elko and Nevada.

Haul truck driver becomes FIRST FEMALE to win local 

AVIATION 

SCHOLARSHIP

(PACE Coalition photo.) 

Driving a haul truck for a Nevada mining 

company may pay the bills, but one 

woman’s thoughts turn skyward between 

moving loads of gold ore. For 26-year-old 

Raquel Holguin of Elko, one flight lesson 

10 years ago sparked a dream of soaring 

above the earth from which she now 

makes a living. 

Her dream of becoming a pilot is 

much closer to reality since being 

selected on May 17 to receive the 2017 

Sauveur and Julie Elizagoyen Memorial 

Aviation Scholarship. She was one of six 

applicants last year. 

Raquel is the first female recipient of 

the scholarship established by Norma 

Elizagoyen shortly before her death in 

2013 to honor her husband, Sauveur, and 

daughter, Julie, both of whom preceded 

her in death. Father and daughter shared 

a love of flying. 

Raquel had the gumption to make her 

own way in life, living mostly on her own 

since she was 16 years old, going to 

school while working and living paycheck 

to paycheck. That determination may 

explain why she never abandoned her 

belief that she could learn to fly and 

thereby expand her career opportunities. 

“It was tough to have to put my dreams 

on hold,” she said. 

Asked about her thoughts on being the 

first female recipient of the scholarship, 

Raquel stated simply, “Well, it’s about 

time,” and laughed. She offered advice 

to other Elko residents who may be

thinking about flying or applying for 

the scholarship. “Don’t hold back,” she 

said. “It can’t hurt to do it if that’s your 

passion.” 

Raquel considers earning her private 

pilot’s license the first step to a career as 

a commercial pilot. She is open to taking 

courses from a school of aviation but will 

probably continue taking flight lessons to 

improve her skills for now. 

After she gets her license, Raquel said 

that getting more hours in the air will 

become her top priority. She said she will 

get a second job if that’s what it takes. 

“Whenever I get an idea in my head – and 

I’ve always been this way,” she said, “I’m 

pretty headstrong about going through 

with it. Even if it takes years to get it 

done, it’s still there for me, and I’ll always 

make it happen. You only get one life and 

you should be doing what you want.” 

About the Sauveur & Julie Elizagoyen 

Memorial Aviation Scholarship 

The Sauveur and Julie Elizagoyen Memorial 

Aviation Scholarship was established in 2013 

by Norma Elizagoyen (1923-2013) in loving 

memory of her husband and daughter and as 

a tribute to them and their love for flying. 

Sauveur Elizagoyen (1930-2010) immigrated 

to the United States in 1950 where he 

worked as a sheepherder in California and 

Nevada. With hard work and determination, 

he became a general contractor in 1958 and 

built many fine homes and businesses in the 

Elko, Nevada area as well as owning other 

businesses. In 2004, Sauveur decided to retire 

his hammer and saw and pursue his passions 

for flying his airplane, hunting, and fishing. 

Julie Elizagoyen (1961-2011) was born in 

Elko, Nevada and spent most of her life here. 

She spent time in the ranching industry, then 

studied and became a dental assistant in 

California and Nevada. She returned to Elko 

and spent her remaining years helping with 

the family business. 

Julie was always taking on challenges. She 

received her commercial pilot's license and 

instrument rating after several years of serious 

work and study, then helped her father gain 

his license to fly. 

The family sold the family airplane. After the 

deaths of Sauveur and later Julie, Norma 

created this scholarship program to help 

others realize the passion for flying enjoyed 

by her husband and daughter. Norma passed 

away January 12, 2013. However, the legacy 

of her family and its commitment and love 

for each other, as well as Sauveur and Julie's 

love for flying, will live on with this scholarship, 

enabling many to enjoy the dream of flying. 

The annual scholarship will help those who dream of becoming pilots by paying a 

portion of the cost of flight instruction and ground school. 

Applicants must be at least 16 years old and a U.S. citizen residing in Elko County. 

Contact Laura Oslund at PACE Coalition with questions or application, 775-777-3451.

BALLOONING FACTS 

How big 

are hot air 

balloons? 

Hot air balloons vary in size 

from 14,000 cubic feet - with 

a payload of one person - to 

750,000 cubic feet - enough 

to carry 32 people. These 

balloons range in height from 

40 feet to 130 feet. 

With the wind determining 

the direction of flight, the pilot 

uses different air currents at 

different altitudes to maneuver 

the balloon. Balloon speed is 

determined by the wind speed 

at different locations. 

How is a 

balloon 

guided?

examination 

- Obtaining the regulated hours 

of flight time with at least 1 solo

Streamers 

Lead your own 

neighborhood parade in 

style! Tie some streamers 

and balloons to your stroller 

and help your kids decorate 

their bike or scooter 

with these DIY patriotic 

streamers.

log.urbansitter.com | AlphaMom 

Supplies: 

- A pair of toilet paper tubes 

- Curling ribbon and/or crepe 

paper streamers 

- Inexpensive water-based children’s 

poster paint in patriotic colors 

- Star stickers 

- Paint brushes 

- Stapler and/or normal household tape

of the red white and blue theme!). 

2. Once base coat is dry, let them decorate 

the tube by painting on stars, stripes, 

flags, hearts, whatever else says 4th of 

July. And adding stickers, too. 

3. Once everything is dry, staple and/or tape 

the streamers or curling ribbon in strips to 

the end of the tubes. Curl the ribbons.

STATE FARM'S GOOD NEIGHBOR JULY 2018 

Perhaps you have spent an afternoon sifting through all 

of the fun treasures at the FISH thrift store, or maybe you 

have taken your coffee table that you no longer use or 

the pile of skinny jeans from high school that you swore 

you would fit into again to be donated and resold, but 

have you ever looked farther than that at FISH? What 

other programs do they offer, what else is it that they 

do? After my time with Executive Director Sherry Smith 

I can tell you that they do so much more than I realized. 

During Sherry’s two years as the 

Executive Director of FISH (which stands 

for Friends in Service Helping) there have 

been a variety of changes to existing 

programs that the organization offers as 

well as some new programs started. FISH 

serves all of Elko County and surrounding 

areas. They generate income through 

their thrift store, grant funds, and 

donations from generous donors in the 

community. These funds help to assist 

the organization in being able to provide 

programs like emergency food, soup 

kitchen, laundry services, holiday meal 

program, Samaritan house, showers 

and hygiene supplies, stranded travelers 

aid, U.S.D.A. Commodity distribution, 

senior food box program, emergency 

clothing vouchers, medical/prescription 

assistance, and employment required 

needs assistance. As you can see from 

this list the work they do is helping 

families in Elko County that are in crisis 

fill their immediate needs and create a 

plan for the long term so that they can 

become self-sufficient in the future. 

The soup kitchen at FISH is open four days 

a week for hot meals. They also provide 

food to families and individuals through 

the emergency food box program, 

and U.S.D.A. commodities program. In 

2017 FISH had 11,639 requests for food 

assistance. During their holiday food 

box program alone they gave out 260 

food boxes. All of this work makes sure 

that families in our community will not 

go hungry and that they will have the 

energy they need to work at their jobs, 

or do well in school. Recently FISH has 

started to have Farmers Markets monthly 

for their clients. This is an opportunity for 

those in need to go and get fresh fruits 

and vegetables. This is open to all clients 

of FISH. 

The holiday food box and gift program 

for children/seniors provides a way 

for children, seniors, and those with 

disabilities have a full holiday with food 

to eat and gifts to open. This program 

starts in October when families can 

make requests for a holiday box, and 

the holiday gift program. The holiday 

food box program served 260 families 

last year. It is through the generosity of 

community members adopting families 

that FISH was able to serve 113 families 

for the gift program for families in need 

last year. They also work together with 

other organizations in the community to 

make sure that there is not duplication in 

recipients. 

The Samaritan House Emergency Shelter 

is open Monday-Sunday from 6:00 pm to 

8:00 am. They provide and evening meal 

and breakfast to those that stay at the 

house. It provides a place for families 


or individuals to come out of the elements with the 

knowledge that they will have a safe place to rest for 

the night. The Samaritan House is a clean and sober 

safe home. They will only accept people to stay at the 

house that are not under the influence of any alcohol 

or drugs. 

FISH has also partnered with government agencies 

to provide a venue and opportunity for people to 

have access to sign up for programs directly at FISH 

on a monthly basis. Twice a month the welfare office 

is at FISH to assist individuals in obtaining benefits 

or maintaining their benefits. They also have had 

visits with Nevada Legal Services to assist families. In 

addition, FISH is an intake site for the energy assistance 

program. Dates for when these entities will be at FISH 

can be found on their Facebook page or website. If 

you have not already taken the opportunity to like 

and follow the Facebook page for both FISH and the 

separate page for FISH Thrift Store, I highly recommend 

you do so! Through the Thrift Store page you can find 

out when they are having fun sales, or promotions. 

FISH would be nowhere without their volunteers. If 

neighbor 

you would like to help volunteer for FISH there are 

opportunities at the Thrift Store, Food Bank, Soup 

Kitchen, Driver, General Maintenance and any other 

special talents. To become a volunteer reach out to 

r 

FISH 

back.

This is in no way a full picture of all of the amazing 

things that FISH does. They provide showers, and 

hygiene products to those that do not have access to 

them. The list goes on. The incredible work that Sherry 

and her team do for the clients that they serve could 

not be recognized enough. We want to send out a 

heartfelt thank you from Shabonya Dutton State Farm 

for the dedication to our community. If you would like 

to donate to FISH you can visit www.fishelko.org, or call 

775.738.3038 to learn how.

MICROCHIPS 

The most reliable 

prevention of 

homeless pets 

Contributed by Elko Veterinary Clinic 

At one point or another we have all heard about animal microchips, 

and many of us have brushed it aside due to cost, or believing in our pets 

security to our persons and our home. But, how many of us have had a lost 

pet restored to our families BECAUSE of a simple thing like a microchip? 

A simple microchip can make the difference in a lost pet’s fate! 

Did You Know? 

By a simple subcutaneous implantation of the 

microchip into the skin between your pets’ 

shoulder blades, you are then secured to 

your pet via an indestructible, non-corruptible 

and unique method of pet ownership and 

re-location. According to the Home Again 

Microchip database, 1 in 3 household pets in 

the US will get lost, and 90% of un-identified 

pets never make it home. Currently, only 3-4% 

dogs, and less that 1% of cats, that are found, 

or reported and picked up, have microchips 

and are able to be traced back to their families. 

A simple and cost-effective solution on a pet 

owner’s part could drastically increase these 

homeless stats for the better, and decrease the 

amount of lost pets in our rescues and shelters. 

1 in 3

3-4% of dogs 

& 1% of cats 

have microchips 

Considering a microchip for your pet? 

Contact the Elko Veterinary Clinic for more information, or the websites 

of 24 Hour PetWatch or Home Again for more details. 


How It Works 

Two of the most common microchip companies 

in the US are 24 Hour PetWatch, and Home 

Again. Both of these companies also expand 

their services for clients and pets registered with 

them into pet insurance, travel assistance, and 

access to Pet Poison Control hotlines. Microchips 

in many cases are required for travel in and out of 

the country, and they a very highly recommended 

case for those that travel a lot with their human 

family members. Home Again offers microchip 

activated feeders and dog/cat doors, which are 

fantastic for multi-family, indoor and outdoor fur 

babies. A pet with either of these companies do 

not need to be registered with every microchip 

company in the country either…when a pet is 

scanned and found to have a microchip, the 

number is specific to the microchip manufacturer. 

Your information is kept private by the company, 

because your pet is identified and registered by a 

unique ID number that is attached to your contact 

information in a secure database, and you are 

contacted by the microchip company when your 

pet is found. 

A difference, in some cases, can be made 

from death to life for our family pets that 

wander or escape from our homes. The 

small cost of a microchip ensures the 

ability that diligent animal servants in our 

communities can return our dogs and cats 

home to us, after a simple scan and the 

relief that follows when we discover that a 

pet is microchipped. 

Microchips are RFIDs, no GPS 

chips, so they emit their unique 

ID when scanned, and do 

not continuously emit a 

tracking signal. Thanks to 

advancements of shelter 

and hospital procedures, 

scanning for a microchip is 

the first step a found pet is 

taken through. The microchip 

is a permanent implant and 

does not need to be repeated, and 

is an easy 5-10 minute out-patient procedure 

performed by your veterinarian. Most fees include 

implant charges, and the first year of membership 

with the microchip company and life long 

registration for the life of the pet. Given this case, 

it is still always recommended that your pet have a 

tag and harness or collar version of identification 

at all times, even when left at home, since this will 

always be the most traditional and visible version 

of pet ownership and identification.
