40 Years of Nevada Senior Games
What were you doing in 1980? Nevada Senior Games was established that year. That question was asked of many NSG participants. Answers arrived from coast to coast and from those with birthdates from 1928 to 1968 (a 40-year difference to go along with the 40-year anniversary.) Malcom Telloian, now calling Las Vegas home and still dancing at age 92, was living in Newport Beach CA at the time. The United States was in the middle of a huge recession. Mal was working in bank- ing and real estate lending. Interest rates had gone sky high with 16-18% mortgages and 21% second trust deeds. It caused the economy to slow to a screeching halt. All was not bad for Mal, however. His two daughters married around that time and both his sons were attending universi- ties. He now has two NSG gold medals for dancing with the Alliante Steppers, 2014 and 2018, hanging on his picture wall. On the other end of the spectrum, Melissa (Mel) Hadley turned 12 in 1980, “The United States was in the middle of a huge growing up in a small town in Iowa. She recession.

Social Security Services During COVID–19
From Andrew Saul, Commissioner of Social Security I want you to hear directly from me how the COVID-19 pandemic is affecting our services. The first thing you should know is that we continue to pay ben- efits. Be aware that scammers may try to trick you into thinking the pandemic is stopping your Social Security payments but that is not true. Don’t be fooled. To protect you and help stop the spread of this coronavirus, we cannot accept visitors in our offices at this time. There are several other ways you can get help. Many services are available online at www.socialsecurity.gov. If you have a critical need that you cannot address online, we can help you over the phone. Please visit our COVID-19 web page at www.socialsecurity.gov/coronavirus/ to find out what services we are continuing and which ones we are suspending, how to contact us, and important informa- tion about deadlines we are extending to ease the burden on you and medical providers during this pandemic.
20 Las Vegas Healthy&Fit April 2020 Evel Pie Temporary Pop-Up In Tivoli Village
In response to demand in the community, Evel Pie has opened a special limited pop-up for pick up and deliv- ery service. Utilizing the Ada’s Tivoli Village space while that restaurant is on hiatus, the pop-up will offer a select menu of Evel Pie whole pies, as well as vegan pizza, salads, and garlic knots, from 4-8 pm Tues-Sat, for the duration of the COVID-19 quarantine or until further notice. Packaged beer and wine will also be available. “We had a lot of fans and friends asking us to keep doing pick up and delivery during the quarantine,” says Creator/ Co-Owner Branden Powers. “That didn’t really work at our Fremont location. But our friend, Chef James Trees, was nice enough to let us borrow the Ada’s space for a little bit.” Initial quantities will be limited to 60 pies per night. Orders will be taken via phone at (702) 840-6460. Lim- ited delivery is also available via Postmates. Powers has also collaborated with pop artist Johnny Ace to create a limited edition “Kill The Virus” T Shirt, also available for sale at $25. All proceeds from the shirts will support Evel Pie’s staff until the crisis has averted. Shirts are available exclusively through this link. Evel Pie may be the “daredevils of pizza” but they are taking no chances with the safety of guests: The team will follow and exceed all sanitation and hygiene protocols for the maximum safety of the public, including contactless pick up. Details of all practices will be made available onsite and via social media. About Evel Pie Live Hard, Ride Fast, Eat Pizza. Evel Pie, inspired by legend- ary daredevil Evel Knievel, celebrates one of the most influential figures to the city of Las Vegas. Created by Branden Powers and High Horse Entertainment in collaboration with the Knievel family, Evel Pie offers New York pizza slices with an array of classic and exotic toppings, dive bar cocktails and local beers until the early hours of the morning in an all-American envi- ronment featuring memorabilia, pinball machines, a stuffed bighorn sheep and a statue of the man himself. Evel Pie has won several accolades including recognition from the Inter- national Pizza Expo (Second Place, Gluten Free pizza), Best of Las Vegas (Readers’ Choice), Gayot (Top 3 Best Vegas Pizza 2020), Silver State Culinary Awards (Best Pizza) and more. To date, Branden Powers and Evel Pie have raised and/or given away tens of thousands of dollars to sup- port local charities and those affected by crisis.
