July
is Culinary Arts Month. Culinary art is the art of cooking. The word
"culinary" is defined as something related to, or connected with, cooking or
kitchens. A culinarian is a person working in the culinary arts. A
culinarian working in restaurants is commonly known as a cook or a chef.
Culinary artists are responsible for skillfully preparing meals that are as
pleasing to the palate as to the eye. Increasingly they are required to have
a knowledge of the science of food and an understanding of diet and
nutrition. They work primarily in restaurants, fast food Chain store
franchises, delicatessens, hospitals and other institutions and
corporations. Kitchen conditions vary depending on the type of business,
restaurant, nursing home etc. Culinary Arts are many things. Don't forget

Adopt an Airman Event
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The
Silverton Casino Lodge teams up with Hot
97.5 FM and the city of Las Vegas to
encourage local families to meet and
"adopt" an airman from the 820th RED
HORSE Squadron before they deploy to
Iraq, Afghanistan and Qatar in August.
On Saturday, July 19, 2008 between 5 - 8
p.m. at the Silverton Casino Lodge
parking lot. Prior to the
event, each airman will fill out a card
with a brief self-description. Each
family wishing to adopt someone will
also fill out a card as they enter the
event and will be randomly paired with
an airman. Once deployed, families can
show their appreciation and support by
sending care packages and letters to
their adopted airmen.
Adopt an Airman will also feature raffle drawings, food,
prizes, giveaways, face painting,
costume characters, jumpy-houses and
more. While admission to Adopt an Airman
is free to the public, a donation is
suggested. Proceeds will benefit the
Speedway Children's Charities. |

Welcomes Our Newest Columnist |
T.A.R.G.E.T
|
|
T.A.R.G.E.T stands for "Teens At
Risk Get
Educated Today" and was designed to bridge the communication gap
between adults and youth in a way that no other program
today does. In today’s society all teens are at risk of making
bad choices and or being affected by the choices of their peer’s regardless of their social,
economical, and demographical standing. The program was
created by Anthony and Brandon Gallion, twin brothers who at
age 16 gained national media attention during the summer of
2003 from the story of the 311 boyz, a teen “party
crew” in Las Vegas, Nevada... |

The 2008 Political Landscape
2008 is already proving to be a
historical year in the annuals of American politics –
and Nevada is a key battleground state – Arizona and New
Mexico make up the three South West states that could
swing either way. Then, of course, there is the always
hard to predict state of Florida?....... |

Weekly Insight
Consider the light bulb in your ceiling. You flip a
switch, and on it goes. But the light bulb is not the
source of the light; the real source is an electric
generator somewhere you can't even see. And there are
rules around how much light can be emitted as well as
when and why. The same is true with the Light of the
Creator... |
