Steve Rogen is this type of artist. Steve is an Idaho native that finds accomplishment and pleasure in designing and carving master pieces out of wood. The tools he uses are primarily a mallet and a chisel but he has actually created his own custom tools and various methods to create his works of art. He is a master at carving.

Steve has been

working as a wood carving artist since 1963. He is a self-taught illustrator whom considers his education to be “by experience”. Each piece that he creates tells a story. He began his carving career by working with ivory, stone, antlers and wood. Through the years he has discovered art truly comes alive in his carvings with wood the most and presently he is exclusively working with wood. Steve has lived and has been crafting in Wyoming for some time now, but just recently became a member of Campbell County. His goal is to make his mark across the west. Steve says, “The West is my canvas”. He has made it his life’s ambition to keep the spirit of the west and its values alive for each person he commissions for. He is able to do this with his imagination and his unlimited talent to design whatever it is he is asked to create.

ave you ever flipped through the news to watch or read about those people that are competing in various types of running events and been amazed at what they have done or are about to go through? We have all heard of some common terminology that goes along with the running world — 13.1 = half marathon, 26.2 = full marathon, 5k = 3.1 miles, 10k = 6.2 miles, Mud Runs = running along a path and completing crazy obstacles over the course of several miles. Sometimes we look at those events and laugh it off and tell ourselves we would never be able to do something like that. Other times we look at those events and tell ourselves to get out there and try it. You never know what the outcome will be if you don’t just

try...right? The word “challenge” is defined in an online dictionary as a test of one’s abilities or resources in a demanding but stimulating undertaking.1 A challenge to one person is not necessarily a challenge to another. It depends on how familiar you are with something and whether or not you would attempt to conquer the challenge. I personally believe that all of us should endure challenges in our lives at some point in time. About 7 weeks ago I had a friend “challenge” me to run a half marathon with her. Of course I looked at her like she was crazy and told her that there was no way that I would ever do that. I proceeded to teach my fitness classes that day and went home that night and I started thinking about it. I thought about this half marathon for about 12 hours or so and I decided to accept this challenge. I took the next week to develop a training schedule that I would be able to adapt to with my busy schedule. Then the first run day came and I thought to myself, “There is no way this is going to work. This is not fun at all.” But, I reminded myself that I was challenged to do something and I’m not a quitter so I was not stopping now. I was going to finish this no matter what I had to do to get there. I was up running very early in the morning for most of the days leading up to the event. As the event neared I was having more doubts about being able to finish. I used words of encouragement from friends and family to get me over those doubts and be confident that I would complete this half marathon successfully. Race day came and I cannot even begin to explain the many emotions I was feeling that day. I wanted to cry and laugh all at the same time. This challenge was not only challenging my body to do something it had never done before but

A challenge to one person is not necessarily a challenge to another. it was challenging my well-being and myself as an individual to dig deep and discover who I was and why I was doing this. And then the run started. I felt over joyed to be able to have the health and confidence in myself to get to the end — 13.1 miles left...wow...that’s not too far. As I was running and nearing the finish line, I reflected back on the last 7 weeks and I was proud of myself for continuing on with this challenge. Finally, I did it! I completed a half marathon! By no means did I win the race amongst all those other women, but that is not what I was there for. I won the race for myself and I conquered a challenge! As a personal trainer and a fitness instructor, I come into contact with both sides of the spectrum. From the people running all over the country doing all sorts of events to those that are comfortable in their everyday activities and would never imagine themselves to be doing anything out of the norm for them. With that being said, I challenge you to find something that you have always wanted to do but never had the courage to do it. It is time to make a bucket list and add those things that you think you can’t do but would do if you had the opportunity. Speaking from experience I can tell you that you are much stronger than you think you are. Now is the time to challenge yourself to get out of the norm and do something exciting. It is so worth it! 1. http://thefreedictionary.com

Financial Matters

COUPLES RETIRING ON THE SAME PAGE Agreeing about what you want from retirement is crucial.

P ro v i d e d by B r i a n B i c ke t t

W H AT D O E S A G O O D R E T I R E M E N T L O O K L I K E T O Y O U ? Does it resemble the retirement that your spouse or partner has in mind? It is at least roughly similar? The Social Security Commission currently projects an average retirement of 19 years for a man and 21 years for a woman (assuming retirement at age 65). So sharing the same vision of retirement (or at least respecting the difference in each other’s visions) seems crucial to retirement happiness.1 WHAT KIND OF RETIREMENT DOES YOUR SPOUSE OR PARTNER IMAGINE? During years of working, parenting and making ends meet, many couples never really get around to talking about what retirement should look like. If spouses or partners have quite different attitudes about money or dreams that don’t align, that conversation may be deferred for years. Even if they are great communicators, assumptions about what the other wants for the future may prove inaccurate. ARE COUPLES DISCUSSING RETIREMENT, OR NOT? It depends on who you ask – or more precisely, what poll you reference. A 2013 survey of 5,400 U.S. households by Hearts & Wallets (a research firm studying retirement money management trends) found that just 38% of couples plan for retirement together. The fourth Couples Retirement Study

BE SURE TO TALK ABOUT WHAT YOU WANT FOR THE FUTURE. A few simple questions can get the conversation going, and you might even want to chat about it over a meal or coffee in a relaxing setting. Dreaming and planning together, even on the most basic level, gives you a chance to reacquaint yourselves with your financial needs, goals and personalities.

of them. If the unexpected occurs, you will want that knowledge. Speaking of knowledge, you should also both know who the beneficiaries are for your IRAs, workplace retirement accounts, investment accounts, and life insurance policies, and you both need to know where the relevant paperwork is located. A shared vision of retirement is great, and respect for individual variations on it is just as vital. A conversation about how you see retirement today can give you that much more input to plan for tomorrow.

To start, ask each other what you see yourselves doing in retirement – individually as well as together. Is the way you are saving and investing conducive to those dreams? Think about whether you are making the most of your retirement savings potential. Could you save more? Do you need to? Are you both contributing to tax-advantaged retirement ac-

He has been a chef and cook since he was 17 years old and still is the main element in the kitchen at the restaurant now.

It was while he was working at Las Margaritas that he met his lovely wife Brittany Van Kerrebrook who grew up in Gillette and

age 5 and little Lyvia now age 4. As I sat visiting with Brittany I had the pleasure of meeting three of the children and experiencing their energy first hand.

They both know it would takes long hours, hard work and determination to make a business work and they decided they would do what it took to go the distance to do just that! Not only have they built a business that is solid but now it’s growing. They have plans of expanding the 40 capacity restaurant to accommodate at least 200, this is very

September / October 2014

Restaurant Review exciting for the couple but also very scary. Brittney says they need and want to expand but they don’t want to lose the integrity and friendly homey environment they have created in the small space they have now. The new restaurant will just be a few doors down from where they are now. They will be moving to the space that Radio Shack is in now. The new restaurant has a full bar, conference room, and a stage for the fabulous bands they bring in to entertain and seating for at least 200 customers. Wow, now that’s growth. They told me that hopefully, if all goes well, they will be moving by October of this year to the new location. Chuy is always hard at work creating new dishes and menu items for the restaurant he is very particular about the cuisine he creates and how they are presented for the menu. A perfectionist, per se, and if you have eaten there you will have experienced this. Everything from their scrumptious starters to main entrées. While he is accommodating the kitchen, Brittany is in the front of the establishment implementing the same sort of perfection on the appearance, atmosphere and employees, she has handpicked each member of her wait and hostess staff from experience. Brittany “I have known my staff for years and their capabilities. They are some of the best”. This combination of Chuy’s and Brittany’s insight, dedication, and experience shows through every day they open those doors. They run daily lunch and dinner specials, they have holiday and birthday specials, drink specials and on Sundays all children under the age of 8 years old eat for just .99 cents. I did have to ask Brittany about the 7lb Burrito challenge I had heard so much about. This would be a huge challenge for any individual! The rules are you have 60 minutes to eat it and it’s free, you also get a t-shirt and your picture on the Wall of Fame. If you are not able to complete the challenge you pay $20.00 and get your picture on the Wall of Shame. This is just an example of some of the fun that goes on there. So if you are brave and feeling really hungry try this challenge out. Good Luck! I feel privileged to have been given the opportunity to meet and get to know this young couple. It gives me encouragement in my own endeavors and dreams. Thank you, Chuy and Brittany, for sharing with us.

OPEN RANGE STEAKHOUSE Located in Wright, Wyoming W r i t t e n by C a r m e n L . P a t t e r s o n & S h a l o n W a l s h

We promise to bring the ‘true west’ back into our grill and make it the best!

ocated in the southern end of Campbell County is the great town of Wright. This town has seen its’ boom and busts through the years. They have weathered tornados and hail storms. Through it all they remain a close nit community that is overlooked most of the time by the rest of Campbell County. Overlooked even more than anything are the eating establishments located in Wright. Not many of us think about driving to Wright for a steak or sandwich. There is Subway. We have so many Subways in Gillette, no one is going to run down to Wright for a sub. Hank’s Café is a regular eating establishment for many a coal miner, railroad worker or oil field worker. The bar may be more of an attraction after a long day at work than the café. Recently we had the opportunity to choose a place in Wright to eat. Without very many choices, we wanted something different. Located by the Wright Hotel is the Open Range Steakhouse. It is not really what you would expect from a steakhouse upon first entering the establishment. At first, it is almost like a cafeteria decorated in western attire. It is very open and in the middle of

the foyer is a huge fireplace that goes up through the vaulted ceiling. We sat down by the windows. Outside the window is a deck that is also set up for dining. The view is stupendous as the sun sets in the west. The menu is loaded with steakhouse favorites at reasonable rates. One of the appetizers is Hog Wings: meaty pork wings served with a sweet and spicy dipping sauce. Sounds appetizing! As gals from Wyoming and South Dakota we opted for the prime rib and a salad bar. The salad bar was small but good. It is located in a corner of the restaurant by a window that shows the cooking staff as the work their magic. After eating our salads, the prime rib was served. Medium rare with mashed potatoes, how can you go wrong? At the Open Range Steakhouse, the prime rib is definitely worth the drive to Wright. No wrong turn with that choice. The serving staff are polite and helpful. They offer recommendations and are definitely worth a 20% gratuity. Still hometown, the Open Range Steakhouse located by The Wright Hotel is one eating establishment in Campbell, County we should all experience.

FREEZER COOKING

Making Meals Fast & Healthy W r i t t e n by A n d re a H a r v e y

to pick up the kids from [enter sport here] practice, take them home, help with homework, maybe throw in some laundry, run the dishwasher, make sure the kids have their planners signed and everything packed for school tomorrow. That doesn’t leave a lot of time (if any) for cooking a healthy, balanced meal for dinner. So, it’s either a swing through the drive through, reach for the phone to order pizza or throw in another “healthy” boxed dinner, which costs an arm and a leg and has so many ingredients that only a PhD in

When ready to make a meal, let it thaw in the fridge overnight, plop it into the slow cooker of your choice and away you go.

Chemistry is able to pronounce. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Freezer Cooking has become a “thing” these days. And this is a “thing” I can get behind 100%. I would rather spend one day in the kitchen mincing, chopping, weighing, measuring and pro-cooking, than surrender to one of the options mentioned above. At first I was very intimidated by all of the ONCE-A-MONTH-COOKING (OAMC) recipes I found. I have a small kitchen and just couldn’t see myself chopping 2 lbs. of celery, 5 lbs. of potatoes and 4 lbs. of carrots while browning 20 lbs. of ground meat. But OAMC is not the only option out there. When I searched “Freezer Cooking” on the Internet I got 6,620,000 results in 0.30 seconds! There have got to be one or two options out there for me. I have to mention that I can’t cook – I can read and follow a recipe! Big difference!!! Since I am capable of reading recipes I have A LOT of them. All of them sounded really good and I was “defi-

nitely going to make this soon”. And that was right before the recipe card was shoved into my recipe box – and never heard from again. Well, praise the Internet and all those people that are so much more organized than I am for putting all this out there. Like I mentioned before there is a plethora of recipes on freezer cooking out there, but what am I going to do with all of those “definitely going to make this soon”-recipes I already have?

cooking is a slow cooker liner. BAM! Clean up done! and I actually want to use my slow cooker more often. One of the great things about this way of cooking (in my case: following a recipe) is that you can shop once a week or once a month, buy in bulk and/or look for specials on food that’s about to expire. Since you will be freezing it before the “sell by” date it will be ok.

So I started searching for how to convert any ol’ recipe

Community Writing Did you know... Do you ever notice your teeth being sensitive when drinking hot or cold drinks, or are your teeth ever sensitive when you brush them? If so, many different dental problems could be present including: tooth decay, a fractured tooth, recession of the gum lines, gum disease, or worn tooth enamel. Depending on what is causing your tooth sensitivity, there are many treatments that can be done to help reduce or eliminate the sensitivity. Many times it’s as easy as switching to desensitizing toothpaste which can help block nerve transmission through the tooth; however, sometimes fluoride gel provided by your dentist may be needed. Furthermore, in some of the more severe cases a crown, root canal, or gum grafting may be necessary. Visit your local dentist today to discuss your options to help reduce or eliminate your current sensitivity problems.

DEAR CEEJAY Your Home & Family Quesitons Answered

Dear CeeJay, I see Crockpot freezer meals all over Pinterest and Facebook. I’ve tried making some of my own even, but I can’t find any of my family favorites. How can I take recipes my family already loves and change them into Crockpot friendly freezer meals? Crockpot freezer meals are a lifesaver in any busy house, especially mine. I have found some good recipes

know your Crockpot. Some of them will run dry, while others will prevent any liquid at all from steaming out. This will affect the recipes along with how food cooks. When creating your own Crockpot meals from regular recipes, I recommend putting all of the ingredients in a bowl before placing everything in your freezer bag. This

liquids. This will save room for more food in the bag. Keep in mind that liquids expand (take more space) when they freeze. You don’t want to risk having a freezer bag split. • Barley, rice and other grains do not do well in this process. Instead of adding them to your freezer bag, write how much to add onto your freezer bag and add when you start your Crockpot. • Noodles are another food that does not do well with the freezing aspect of this process. You will want to add your noodles about a half hour to hour before eating, otherwise they become mushy. • You can use this method for casseroles, but you need to keep in mind, that crunchy top formed in the oven is NOT going to form in most Crockpots. You will also typically use less liquids. • Remember that the cooking times for food in a Crockpot is a lot longer than on the stove or in the oven for most recipes. • Most raw meat and root vegetables are going to take longer than 4 hours on high to cook so plan accordingly. • You can chop up just about any vegetable and freeze them raw, however fruits don’t always freeze as well.
