Shining a light on all of Eureka County. Our Mission: Inform, enlighten, educate and entertain—Enjoy the journey.

extra! extra! read all about it!

Written by Trina Machacek Welcome to the Eureka County Star. A newspaper that is designed to inform and entertain all the residents past present and future of Eureka County, Nevada. Not only in each community of Eureka County, Eureka, Diamond Valley, Pine Valley, Beowawe, and Crescent Valley, but wherever the four winds blow our words and knowledge of our communities. ose 5 stars in our logo are for our amazing communities. It’s important to have vision and mission statements when starting a new adventure so let me share with you mine.

Welcome to your new Eureka County Star. anks for being here.

Needs, OppOrtuNities, sOlutiONs e needs, atmosphere, desires, people, places and things of Eureka County are as varied as the pinion pine and cedar trees that cover the hillsides of our county. From north, south, east and west, although sometimes nearly everyone seems to be pulling in different directions, e Eureka County Star will work towards making that struggle a one way pull. Not a tug of war, pulling against each other. Rather a rope thrown out to each other, everyone pulling in the same direction to li us all up. To achieve living our amazing rural life to the fullest. We are lucky and blessed to live in Eureka County. e hope is to never forget that blessing and showcase it in every issue.

HOw dO we dO tHat? iNFOrM In developing this newspaper for our community, we will strive to get good solid reliable information out to our friends, neighbors and visitors. Informing through e Eureka County Star of what all of our communities have to offer and where we are going. What each of us, as a group or individually, are doing to get us all “there.” eNliGHteN Eurekans and visitors as to what each of us can do to uncover and work towards what is needed to keep our Rural Lifestyle alive and flourishing. But at the same time to develop growth and add to our economy.

To give our communities strength. at’s what e Eureka County Star prays for.

Is this you?

eduCate Educate ourselves and each other, without ego or bullishness about how things get done. Learn the best and most efficient ways to help us both short term and long term. What matters to us all both individually and as the progressive County community we strive to be? e Eureka County Star’s hope is to make our county cohesive by bringing news, information and yes, entertainment to every one who reads the lines we publish. eNtertaiN Entertain readers as we traverse the life roads we are all on. But! Life is not all play and no work. News is news. Information is information. Both will be reported and told as truthfully as can be ferreted out in stories of the times. But! Entertainment! To be sure life is not all work and no play either.

In e Eureka County Star we hope to also bring about a sense of community, neighborhoods, businesses, mining, ranching, farming, schools, and local government with a fair share of entertainment thrown in for good measure. Finding that balance, that sweet spot, is a life long pursuit.

Although these questions will never truly be answered to the complete satisfaction of each and every one of us in Eureka County or the varied and welcomed visitors to our utopia of this piece of Mother Earth that we are lucky enough to inhabit. Our mission at e Eureka County Star, as Publishers, Writers, and Community Minded Individuals is to face each one of those needs. We will strive always to do our best. Knowing that even when we fall we learn.

Take opportunities we see are available to us, helping ourselves, friends, neighbors and fellow Eureka County residents to find solutions through grace and peace.

In doing that we hope to achieve for ourselves and to show each other a way to: Enjoy the journey of life.

In any business venture the moon is something to reach for. I am not immune to the draw of the moon. I want e Eureka County Star to surpass all my and those who have wished it well, not only reaching for but touching the moon and beyond. Well of course I do and I will do all I can to see it does just that. I however

was not born in a barn, falling off a turnip truck, yesterday! I know it will take not only me but the grand people of Eureka County to see this venture takes off and never looks back. Well except for the “Our Past” section of memories of our yesterdays.

I more than welcome ideas, comments, kudos and of course complaints—well tiny complaints!

I and the writers and contributors and worker bees bringing you this paper are excited to see it. Know this though. We, okay me, I. I am not political. I am not confrontational. I will put news of Eureka County in our printed pages. But! I will walk away if someone wants to tug of war with me in the pages of e Eureka County Star. ere are other avenues for that. is is a community minded, community desired, community newspaper.

To be sure this newspaper is a business.

We live by the grace of advertising. But! Advertising is not only a way to keep this business viable. Advertising is the best way to keep our communities alive and well and growing by getting the word out about all the amazing goods and services we, as strong communities have to offer. at is why I have chosen to put a free paper in every home in Eureka County every week via post office and rural route boxes for a limited time to start this venture. A full 1,104 boxes to a full 1,104 homes and businesses. We hope as businesses you choose to advertise and tell those 1000 homes and the world about your business. Also, we have added mail subscriptions (just $95, plus tax per year.) to tell as many people as we can that Eureka is alive, well and we are so proud to be Northeastern Nevadans.

We hope too that as a consumer you choose to do your part by enjoying what the business men and women of Eureka County have put their hopes and dreams on in building their amazing businesses in our communities. To also tell your local businesses you saw their ad in e Eureka County Star. We Are Community! Tell me what you think. I am Trina Machacek, Owner, Publisher, and Editor of your Eureka County Star.

e freedom of independence is quite a responsibility. e freedom part is what we have always seemed to strive for as we go through life. Being older has always meant more freedom. I’m sure we have all looked back at the road of the ages. When you are four you want to be five. Holding up all your sticky little fingers on one hand. Five wants to be 10, 10 wants to be 13, 13 desires 16. To drive whatever has gas in it. Sixteen pushes for 18, 18 to be 21 for the obvious reasons. Big freedom comes with that 21 year mark. Of course when you finally realize you are old enough to, let’s say buy a whole package of brownies at the local bakery, and eat every single one? en you may realize that not only the chocolate overload headache comes with your choice, but too many brownies affects the ease of what it takes to get your pants zipped up too.

Freedom does have rewards AND consequences.

But. Yes a freedom ringing “but.” It doesn’t take very long to learn how to get the best out of our freedom. We still buy brownies. Okay me, I still buy brownies. Over trial and error we learn to avoid dire consequences of poor choices when it comes to freedom. Sometimes I still want to gobble more than one. at though, that is what freedom is all about. Choices we make to make living the best it can be.

I admit I take my freedom for granted. It’s easy to do when we grow up within the comfort of home. I look out my windows and sometimes it’s so surreal. Dreamlike actually. To stop and think of all the places I could have been born into. e luck of the draw and many blessings finds me smack dab in the middle of Nevada. I listen to a cool radio station on Sirius XM Radio in the mornings. e DJs take a lot of road trips throughout this grand country. ey talk of this state and that place. A big ball of twine here or a giant Jack-a-lope there. We really do have it made in the shade in every state in our USA.

Eureka Volunteer Firemen’s 4th of July Celebration Firemen will be selling raffle tickets from 10a.m. until the end of the street games! $5 each.

9 a.m. Parade float and entry registration in front of firehouse.

Prizes for Best Float, Best Child Float, Best 4-Wheeler, Best Decorated Bicycle Best Dressed Cowpoke and Best-Groomed Pet 10 a.m. Parade Starts and will go up the street, turn around and come back down. Save some candy for second go around!

Depending On Independence

Written by Trina Machacek

eureka county events

To take freedom for granted seems a bit selfish when you compare where we could be if the men and women of our armed forces didn’t give their all to keep us in this freedom we enjoy. How in the world can we ever thank those who gave so much for us to be able to sit under a full moon without worries of bombs going off in our neighborhoods? Or thank the families of those who didn’t make it back home. In my closet there is this one shirt I love to hold and touch. It’s an Air Force heavy green but so material that still smells like years of memories. It was one that my other half wore when he was in the Air National Guard so many years ago. It has his name on a patch and several other patches he obtained throughout his service. It’s an amazing piece of my peace.

Over a lifetime how many times do we depend on our independence? Big things come to mind first. Having a 4th of July with parades, fireworks, friends, family, hot dogs, iced tea and beer.

Going to a doctor. Having schools and museums and libraries.

Drinking water that quenches a thirst without even thinking what it takes to get that water to your mouth. It’s all freedom. en there are the little things. I have always been a collector of smalls so I notice small things more that a lot of people do.

I see the sparkle in the eyes of kids as they get all sticky with melting ice cream. I oen si through a jar of a mix of screws and nuts and little bolts, looking for just the right one. A jar that took many years to collect and now they are there just for me to pick and choose from. May not sound like much, but when you need that #10mm metric screw to put a doohickey back to doohickey another day? Well that jar of goodies is a freedom I can enjoy for many years.

W. C. Fields said, “Once during prohibition I was forced to live for days on nothing but food and water.” How lucky we are to live where we can joke about being able to live on nothing but food and water. Depend on your independence and give thanks for it daily.

SPOTLIGHT Spotlighting Special Eurekans Written by Trina Machacek Welcome to spotlight. Please meet my friend Patsy Tomera, who lives on her piece of heaven in Pine Valley, Eureka County Nevada. If you have lived in Eureka County for a bit of time you have heard the Tomera name several times. In many ways which you probably don’t even realize, you have had the opportunity to enjoy some of the things Patsy has done for our county, through many of her travels and the boards and committees she has served on. Patsy served on the Eureka County Fair board for 10 years running the horse show, where she built it up to include up to 57 horses. She was a 4-H Leader and program director for just as many if not more years than that. As one of the residents of Eureka County she has volunteered and donated and supported much along her life path.

First of all, let me tell you that Patsy has been a woman that, since I moved here nearly 50 years ago, I have looked at and thought, “I want to be her.” When I told her that secret when we sat down in her home, she laughed and said she wasn’t much. Oh contraire! Coming for being a city girl to becoming a farm/ranch gal she was exactly what I wanted to be. Patsy celebrated Patsy Tomera turning 80 this past spring and she shows not a sign of slowing up. She was married for 44 years to Tommy Tomera when he passed away recently.

She and Tom raised 5 children, Todd Schwandt, Jeremy Schwandt, Samantha Anderson, Sabrina Reed and Susan Tomera. ey have blessed her with 10 grand children and 3 great grand babies. She has a full heart and a smile

Patsy met Tommy while she was serving cocktails at the Stockman’s Hotel in Elko.

She said his hat was in the way and she told him to move it. Six months later they were married.

that lights up her entire face when she talks of her kids. e family of Tomera has been in Northern Nevada for generations and that doesn’t seem to be coming to an end anytime soon, or ever.

Patsy says some people don’t like her, “they think I am too rude,” and she giggled a bit. “at’s just the way I am and I make no excuses for who I am.” Her lineage is from the Yates family in Oklahoma. She still gets calls from her girls when it rains and thunders in Pine Valley, where they ask her if she is ready to go to the cellar.

Laughing she told me it was because that’s what her family did in Oklahoma when a storm was brewing.

Patsy met Tommy while she was serving cocktails at the Stockman’s Hotel in Elko. She said his hat was in the way and she told him to move it.

Six months later they were married. ey moved to the ranch which is now underwater at Southfork Reservoir. When they sold that property, they moved to Pine Valley and have created her utopia. Every building is red. She said she got a good deal on red paint! Tommy is buried on a hill above the home place so he can see the valley as he rests.

In response to a question about what she would tell someone wanting to go into the ranching business, Patsy said, “Be ready to work. Hard and a lot.” One of the hardest things they run onto is hiring and keeping help on the ranch.

It’s a good life for a cowboy, but there is so much more work on a ranch other than just wrangling. Fences and snow and water and harvest and feeding. “It’s hard, daylight to aer dark work, and then some. e young heifers are like a herd of 13 to14 year old girls that get pregnant,” she told me then laughed her Patsy laugh. It’s work but it is in the blood too. You can see it in Patsy’s eyes that twinkle when she talked of her life as she looked out over her valley from the great sunroom where we sat and visited. We enjoyed watching a thunder storm roll in from the west and laughed about “going to the cellar.”

Patsy and Tom Tomera dancing the night away So much of who Patsy is comes from her family. I asked what makes her happiest. Without even a pause she said, “Going to church.” She attended the Baptist church in Carlin until the Pastor le then she found solace at the Catholic Church where she goes and loves the singing part. Oh, and over her life her favorite job she had? She was the receptionist at the Elko Medical Clinic for a time. She said she loved the people and the fact that she was helping. at’s Patsy in a nut shell. Someone who whole-heartedly wants to help those around her.

At 80 years old is she slowing up? Oh no way, no how.

She’s still very much in charge of herself, her home, her family, the four dogs I saw and her herd of cats that she says numbered way too many for a while but is now down to somewhere between 12 to 17. (Many feral) But! ere is not a mouse in her inviting home. Or in the shop or barn or within ear shot when she calls her kitties and pups all to supper.

I have met Patsy several times along my life path but this was once when I really got to sit and enjoy talking with her. It will always hold a special place in my heart that she took the time to tell me about being Patsy Tomera. Yes, I still want to be her. anks, Patsy, the next diet Pepsi is on me.

e story of our County Flag Written by LauraLee (Lulu) Fitzwater e Eureka County flag can be seen perched high atop the flagpoles around Eureka County, and many are familiar with its design. e four corners depict emblems of a plow for the farming industry, a pickaxe and a shovel for the mining industry, a cow for the beef and cattle ranching industry, and a sheep for the stock-sheep industry. e center of the flag reads “Eureka County Nevada” with two pieces of wheat underneath it. e designs themselves are blue, and they stand out from a white background.

While the flag’s design might be common knowledge, many do not know who designed the flag, or how it came to be.

Linda Parman-Dempsey was the original designer of the flag. e lions club held a contest for students around Eureka County to create a flag design, and the winner’s design was to be implemented. Linda’s design was slightly different than the current; it was pictured on a blue background

instead of white, and the designs were colored with more detail instead of simply being blue, but the Lions club changed the flag to its current design, which looks more simplistic.

Linda was only in sixth grade when the contest was held and still holds the flag in high regard. “I remember, as soon as the flag came out, my dad went out and bought it for me. It cost $25, which, you know, $25 at the time was a lot because we didn’t have much money. I still have that flag today.” She explained on a phone call interview regarding the flag. e flag is still used and loved, showing that citizens of Eureka are proud to live here. Many will likely remember the flag as a nice reminder of home. Others might see it as a symbol for the work citizens of Eureka County put in to keep the economy stable. e meaning of the flag could change as time goes on, or vary from person to person, however, the flag still remains a symbol of pride within Eureka County.

Lulu lives in Diamond Valley. She is an amazing 15 year old young lady (on July13th). She will be beginning her Sophomore year next fall in Eureka. We are lucky and excited to have her writing for e Eureka County Star!

Welcome aboard Lulu.

Meet Christina Tucker, Crescent Valley’s gal Friday and every other day of the week.

We are reaping the rewards of Christina’s multi talents. You want, need, desire information or help? Christina will do her magic and get you to exactly where or what you need.

He reports that the big project of getting “every road paved in Crescent Valley” is on track to be completed this summer.

Something he has been working towards for some time. Raymond and I are old friends from way back in high school in Ely. Seems you can run into people in the most interesting places.

Mix in the first 3 cups with an electric mixer then stir in the rest using a spoon. You don’t want a sticky dough but more like a so warm dough. Grease a bowl and put dough in. Cover with tight lid. Let dough rise in a warm place ‘till doubled. Usually 40-50 minutes.

Roll out on a floured counter. Make it 12" X 22" (approx.). Spread with 3 tablespoons so butter then sprinkle with 2-3 tsp. cinnamon, then 1 cup brown sugar. Spread evenly over the top. Roll up (from long side) pinch seam edge together. Cut slices with dental floss. (using floss makes nice cuts without squishing the dough). Keep pieces about 1" wide. Put the rolls on a greased cookie sheet. 12 on each pan, or on a greased pie pan, 4-5 usually fit nicely. Let rise again for 20-30 minutes then bake at 350 degrees for 18-20 minutes. Cool.

Icing: 1/4 cup butter melted 1/2 cup brown sugar 1/2 tsp. vanilla

1/4 - 1/3 cup cream (half-n-half) 2 cups powdered sugar

Boil together butter, brown sugar and half-n-half for 1-2 minutes. Cool mixture. Add vanilla. en add the powdered sugar. Stir ’till smooth.

(Note: add more creme if it’s too thick.) Spread on cooled rolls (optional sprinkle with chopped pecans). ese rolls freeze well. Wrap individually for freezing for ease of storage and use.

Sue says, “I’ve been making these for many years! Soon as I was married my husband informed me that he wants to TASTE CINNAMON in a cinnamon roll.” As she sheepishly smiled she said, “And he added as long as he’s buying the cinnamon, put it on thick.” We laughed as we drank tea and ate her wonderful creations.

We can’t wait to see your Tried & True creations.
