I recently read a story about a family that had a little place in the 1880’s in a rural part of a western state. ey had a little ranch, raised some sheep and kids. Lots and lots of kids. Not goat kids. Johnny and Susie human kids. In the story they talked of taking a sleigh to get to town in the winter and how little Susie’s feet got so cold they turned blue, then as they warmed, they turned bright glowing red and she lost her toenails. Oh that wasn’t the end of the story. ere was also noted that five guys in the area needed to go to town and had le early one morning just to get caught by the cold and snow and all five had froze to death. Apparently, the family took a sleigh and the men took a buggy. at saved their lives. I guess that is why Santa takes his sleigh and not Mrs. Clause’s two wheeled drive Mini Cooper in the dead of winter.
But! Yes, a “what’s that got to do with picnic supplies” “but?” Well there is of course a way to get from frozen falling off toenails to picnic supplies. It’s all about being prepared. As a girl and somewhat of a romantic I see a picnic being enjoyed by a young man and woman. With the fried chicken, blanket, checkered napkins and the perfect wicker basket. Yes, like in the movies. In reality I actually see greasy chicken legs being eaten that have been picked out of a wad of aluminum foil, hands wiped on dusty pants, half a can of warm soda and laughter. Somewhere in between is an actual picnic.
e difference between a picnic in the 1880’s and in the 2020’s is the word, “glamping.” Glamping where you never get a piece of dirt in your potato salad and the watermelon is always cut in perfect little squares and eaten with a fork for goodness sakes. Nary a paper plate is in sight.
Old timey meals eaten outside were not picnics. ey were just meals. Like when the kitchen table didn’t seat enough people, or it was just too danged hot inside. en in some fashion picnics became an event to plan for and gather up all that is needed to survive under a tree for an aernoon. What supplies it takes to do just that. e wicker basket is replaced by a cooler. e cooler the cooler the cooler your picnic will be. Chicken may be the do all end all for picnics, but something in a wrap will be neater. ere should always, without question always be potato salad. Somehow it seems to turn into a pasta something, or even a little baggy of fresh cut vegies. Hey, we all have to make adjustments. e watermelon that is thrown into the creek until time to eat may be replaced by... No wait. ere is no replacement for a watermelon at a picnic. If there is, you should rethink your picnic mates.
Back to that romantic persona we sometimes feel ourselves falling into being. Wanting now to be a simpler time. Just a few short years ago, uh some 60 years, I was learning to swim in an outdoor pool when we lived in Reno, Nevada. I remember having to jump in and clasp our hands on our heads and dunk under the water some six times to get our little goosebump covered bodies accustomed to the water. en the lessons began. I took a ride back to Idlewild park in Reno recently to remember those times. at is what brought about this picnic stuff.
Oh how things have changed. Parents were there with all and sizes of littles, playing on slides. On, in and around plastic playground equipment. Colorful, safe and there was even an ice cream truck driving around with the little musical ding-ding calling to hot sweaty kids. Not too many kids were running towards the truck like I seemed to remember. e biggest and very noticeable thing that gave me pause?
Telephones. AARRGGHH!! Walking and talking and arms waving of business and problems. e picnic baskets have been replaced by backpacks carried by the littles. Mark the words of this romantic. One day we will see an entire group of 40-plus-year-old adults hunched over because they carried their picnics on their backs and not in a wicker basket. Just sayin’.

The Eureka County Star H An Award Winning Paper
Johnny’s’s Tech Corner
By Johnny Fitzgerald
As the days grow shorter and a chill fills the air, the playful spirit of Halloween comes alive in Eureka. We carve pumpkins, plan costumes, and stock up on candy for the trick-or-treaters who will soon be at our doors. While we cherish these timeless traditions, the smartphone in your pocket can add a new layer of spooky, creative fun to the festivities. With a few free and easy tricks, you can enhance your decorations and capture some ghostly memories.
CREaTE a HaUnTEd PORCH

Imagine trick-or-treaters approaching your home, not just to see your decorations, but to hear them. Your phone can become a hidden source of eerie ambiance.
• How to do it: Go to your phone’s app store (the Apple App Store or Google Play Store) and search for a “Halloween soundboard” or “spooky sound effects” app. ere are many free options available. ese apps are simple collections of buttons that play classic scary sounds, like a witch’s high-pitched cackle, the slow creak of a coffin lid, or a ghostly whisper.
• The trick: Before trick-or-treaters arrive, choose your favorite sound, turn your phone’s volume all the way up, and hide it in a bush, a planter, or inside a hollowed-out pumpkin near your front door.
Easy Halloween Fun
PERFECT PUMPKinS wiTH digiTal STEnCilS
A great jack-o'-lantern starts with a great design. Instead of buying a book of stencils, you can find an endless supply of creative ideas right on your phone.

“easy pumpkin stencils.” You will find thousands of designs, from classic spooky faces to intricate silhouettes of bats and cats.
• e trick: Once you find a design you like, display the image on your phone or tablet. In a dark room, turn the device’s brightness all the way up. You can then hold the screen against the pumpkin and lightly trace the main lines of the design onto the pumpkin’s surface with a pen or a poker tool. It gives you a perfect guide for carving, and you will have the most unique pumpkins on the block.
CaPTURE a gHOST in YOUR PHOTOS
You do not need a fancy editing program to create some spooky Halloween portraits. Your phone’s built-in photo editor has all the tools you need to give your pictures an eerie, vintage feel.
• How to do it: Open a photo of a friend or family member in your phone’s photo gallery and tap “Edit.”
• e trick: First, apply a black-and-white filter, oen called “Mono” or “Noir.” is instantly adds a classic, ghostly vibe. Next, look for a tool called “Vignette.” is feature darkens the edges of the photo, making it feel like an old, mysterious portrait. Finally, you can slightly lower the brightness to complete the effect. In just a few taps, you can create a haunting image perfect for sharing with family.
is Halloween, let your phone be a part of the fun. ese simple tech tricks can help you create a memorable, spooky, and creative holiday for everyone to enjoy.

Diamond Valley Pioneers Honored
(Contributed by Ardis Bibb)
Grace C. and Jorgen P. Jacobsen wanted to be remembered as they were when they were alive-not just as headstones in a graveyard. They wished their ashes to be scattered at their old Diamond Valley, Nevada homestead, and in late September, 35 of their descendants gathered in the valley northwest of Eureka for a family eulogy.

DIAMOND VALLEY MENNONITE CHURCH
(Nevada did not allow the scattering of ashes, so—)…the family laid a headstone at the foot of the rugged Diamond Valley mountains, just across from the home Jorgen Jacobsen built for is family in 1916, Grace and Jorgen Jacobsen had a good idea. When their five children returned to the valley, they did remember their parents as they were when they were living. The reunion, combined with the surroundings where the Jacobsen children grew up, brought back many memories, and they were related to grandchildren and great grandchildren.
Jorgen Jacobsen lived form 1880 to April of this year (1975). He immigrated to Diamond Valley from Denmark in 1901. Initially, he was the valley’s mailman and went about his appointed rounds in a two-wheeled one-horse cart which still stands on the original Jacobsen ranch. In 1908 he married Grace Crofut who was born in the valley in 1885. She passed away in 1965.
The couple acquired a ranch and provided for themselves by growing hay for the livery stables of the booming mining town of Eureka. The also had an overnight stop for the teamsters who hauled feed and supplies form Elko County to Eureka.
The Jacobsen’s had six children: Kay Gardner or Ruby Valley, Nev., Harold Jacobsen and Vera Purinton for Carson City, Beth Oxborrow and Vida Crawford of Reno. A son, Lloyd preceded them in death…
As a light rain began to fall, Jorgen and Grace Jacobens’ descendants gathered round their grave to give thanks for being able to know the beauty and tranquility of their final resting place—Diamond Valley.

Surprise Party
The members of the Diamond Rebekah Lodge No. 8 surprised their Sister, Estella Gensola, the latest Rebekah bride, with a handkerchief shower Thursday evening, October 15, at her home on Spring Street. She received many beautiful handkerchiefs which pleased her very much. Another event of the evening was a decorated fortune cake. Each person drew their fortune from beneath the cake, and the most important one being the bride’s future, which was ten little kewpies reposing on top of the cake, surrounded by other pretty decorations. Laughter and mirth continued until midnight and ever one then departed for their home, after having spent a most enjoyably evening.

ere is Always Something Brewing in the Air in Eureka
Sometime ago our very own Abby Sweet, the art teacher and so much more, with Eureka County Schools, had an idea of having a community paint night. She jumped right in and the rest is, well the rest is colorful and fun. Her Paint Night started to grow.
Since that time Abby and class aer class have gathered to paint many nights away. Every month that Abby holds her Paint Night the group gets to “brush up” laugh and learn about color and shading and truly that beauty is in the eye of the beholder—or creator. ere is a theme each time and everyone paints the picture of the night. Oh, the pictures are as varied as the participants.
Again in November Abby will be offering a Paint Night. If you want to sign up, don’t let grass grow under your feet. e nights fill up fast.
Abby is seeking input as to if a Paint Day for kids might be of interest to local kids. Contact here through her Facebook Page: Eureka Paint Night with Abby Sweet, to sign up or let her know if your kiddos might get excited for a Paint Day.
