2016 primary election
13 candidates file for CD-4 seat
By Barbara Ellestad
Mesquite Local News
After a surprise win two years ago
for a chance to represent Congressional
District 4, Cresent Hardy (R) has a lot of
competition in the upcoming election to
keep the seat.
Hardy, a born-and-raised Mesquite
resident, beat out Democratic incumbent
Steven Horsford in 2014 for the newest
congressional seat in Nevada. Horsford
won the inaugural CD-4 election in 2012.
Hardy’s success in winning the rural
vote in a district that spans six counties
put him over the top last time around.
In addition to North Las Vegas, Moapa
Valley and the Virgin Valley in Clark
County CD-4 boundaries include Nye,
Lincoln, White Pine, Mineral and Esmeralda counties.
Hardy faces two other Republican
candidates in the June 14 primary, Mike
Monroe and Wayne Villines. Monroe
lists a Las Vegas address on his candidacy filing and Villines lives in Pahrump,
ranching
part of Nye County.
Eight democrats filed for the primary
race where only one can emerge victorious. Morse Arberry, Brandon Casutt,
Lucy Flores, Ruben Kihuen, Susie Lee,
Dan Rolle, Mike Schaefer and Rodney
Smith will vie against each other in the
June primary.
According to the Las Vegas Review
Journal, Arberry stills owes the state
$121,545 from a misdemeanor conviction
in 2011 after he illegally funneled campaign contributions from his Nevada
Assembly run into his personal bank account. As part of the deal he avoided six
felony charges and a stint in jail.
Kihuen, who doesn’t live in the CD-4
district, currently holds a Nevada state
senate seat and reportedly is supported
by U.S. Senator Harry Reid (D-NV).
Schaefer ran for Nevada state controller in 2014 but was denied a place on the
ballot after it was determined he didn’t
meet residency requirements. Accord> See Election, Page 10

Commissioners seek
prompt response to
Wilson Creek problems
By Dave Maxwell
For several years, the ranchers of eastern Nevada have
been asked by the Bureau of
Land Management to develop a
Wilson Creek Allotment Management Plan. Commissioners have decided to amend the
language in a letter to be sent
to the Bureau of Land Management and the Southern Nevada
Water Authority to cite their
concerns for the “health, safety
and welfare of the citizens,” and
stating that the county is really
serious about seeing something
done regarding land, grazing
and water rights, and uses
by those agencies in Lincoln
County, as well as other counties similarly affected.
The issue was a major point
on the agenda at the March 21
meeting.
Basically, the letter is telling
BLM and SNWA agencies to get
something done on these ongoing questions, or the county
will take all civil and criminal
legal actions necessary.
Connie Simkins said in some
cases families have been waiting more than 60 years for a
resolution to their problems,
“and it’s time to make a backbone decision. The BLM needs
to finish this, and if they don’t
we’ll do something.”
Commission chair Kevin
Phillips said in his opinion,
the BLM in allowing the wild
horse population to continue to
grow out of control and overuse
the land and forage is in effect
“stealing” from the commercial
cattle and grazing operations.
He asked, “What’s the difference from taking a bale of hay
off someone’s property that’s
tied up with wire from the forage out there that is on someone’s private property right the
grass, water, etc. that the wild
horses are destroying? It’s being stolen by those horses that
don’t belong to me. It’s a criminal act, and if we don’t stand
up and try to reverse some of
this, we can kiss it goodbye.
The peoples in the east do not
have even the slightest clue of
the tyranny being perpetrated
in the west by the federal agencies.”
Varlin Higbee noted the laws
are not being followed as written in the federal Taylor Grazing Act of 1934.
He said the act, (over 65 million acres in all the western
states except Washington), established grazing allotments
within certain defined and
recognized boundaries. “The
boundaries are not what BLM
says they are today, they are
what was established by Congress in that act.”
The Taylor Grazing Act,
signed by President Roosevelt,
was intended to “stop injury to
the public grazing lands [excluding Alaska] by preventing
overgrazing and soil deterioration; to provide for their orderly
use, improvement, and development; [and] to stabilize the
livestock industry dependent
upon the public range”
But now, according to Higbee, SNWA is allowing sheep,
leased for grazing on the
ranches SNWA bought some
years ago in Spring Valley and
other places, to graze wherever
they want, without paying attention to the, albeit invisible,
boundaries. The problem he
noted, is that unlike cattle that
graze a wide area unattended,
sheep have to be herded, meaning they are driven across the
land without regard to what
boundaries might be crossed,
and taking forage away from
other animals, including cattle.
“Cattle are different, because
you control them according to
where you water them.”
“What is happening,” he said,
“is the sheep are consuming
forage on the lower parts of the
valley that in reality doesn’t
belong to them, and SNWA is
turning a blind eye to the problem. As commissioners, we feel
this is a private property ques> See Plan, Page 2

Local dancers showcase
talent at annual review
By Sarah Somers
Dance Dynamics had their
annual dance review on March
11 at the Rick Phillips gymnasium in Panaca.
Mindy Anderson, owner and
operator of Dance Dynamics,
was pleased and proud to review the amazing talent within
her dance teams. The review
is held once a year for the four
different teams, Team Excel (16
girls), Team Elevate (10 girls),
Team Extreme (15 girls), and
Team Elite (12 girls). The teams
were composed of girls ranging
in ages eight to seniors in high
school from Pioche, Panaca,
Caliente and Alamo.
This was the seventh year
for Dance Dynamics and
some of the seniors that performed were from Anderson’s
original and first dance team.
Team Elite had auditions in
May and the other teams auditioned in the fall, and they
have all been practicing and
rehearsing since. The review
kicked off with an escorted
introduction of each dancer,
with tributes to the seniors
who were dancing for their
last year, and awards.
Following the introductions
and awards, 29 different pieces
were performed in a very well
organized and enjoyable manner. There were entire team

New internship program approved
By Marie Mason
A possible internship program for the City of Caliente
was discussed at the City Council’s regular meeting March 19.
City foreman Jerry Carter has
been playing with the idea for
the past year. The internship
would allow young people to
train in city jobs in the water
and sewer departments. Carter
has talked with Lincoln County
Workforce, which provides job
training and employment assistance to local residents. The
Workforce representatives are
excited about the potential internship program. The plan
would be for someone from the
Las Vegas Workforce office to
come and train the interns. This
would be a paid internship, but
details on what other benefits
would be included still need to
be ironed out.
The program would provide
an opportunity for young people to gain training for a possible career in water and sewer
utilities and allow them to ob> See Council, Page 2

Horse killed near Pony Springs
By Dave Maxwell
“Drivers, be alert,” is the advice of Lincoln County Sheriff Kerry Lee after another wild horse was killed in a collision
with a private vehicle March 20 near
Pony Springs on U.S. 93.
Lee said dispatch received a call about
9:25 p.m. Sunday night about a pickup
truck that was severely damaged after
hitting the horse. Meadow Valley Fire
and EMS also responded to the scene.
A 2010 Chevy one-ton pickup out of
Gooding, Idaho, pulling a double axel
16-foot enclosed trailer was involved.
Passengers did suffer some minor inju-

your land.”
Commissioner Paul Donohue said he
thought if a couple of the commissioners
actually went to an SNWA meeting in
Las Vegas and had an item of the board
ries, but were treated and released at the
scene, Lee said.
Traffic was stopped in both directions for a short time to allow clean
up and a large tow truck was brought
in to remove the damaged vehicle and
trailer.
Lee said all drivers need to be alert
when driving the main roads anywhere
in the county, “especially at night.” The
recent BLM horse gather only picked up
a fraction of the numerous wild horses
that still roam the hills of the northern
part of the county.
“There are still a huge number out
there,” he said.
agenda and explain that, “we do have an
issue, and you either address it now, or
we are going to take all appropriate legal
action necessary.” He thought the title
of County Commissioner ought to be
respected enough to be given a hearing.
“We need them to know we are prepared
to take action.”
Sheriff Kerry Lee said he also believed
the issues with the sheep grazing and
wild horse problems might very well fall
under criminal guidelines.

The Caliente City Council discussed creating a new public road connecting the
residents on Haystack Road with Clover Street. Haystack is not a legal public
road.

tain a first level license in the field. Carter
stated even if the interns where to move
outside of Lincoln County, this is a career
they could pursue anywhere in Nevada.
The development of the internship program was approved and Carter will meet
with Workforce in Las Vegas to customize and plan the internship process and
a timeline for when the program will
launch.
The council also discussed creating a new public road in the city. For a
while now there has been discussion
on Haystack Road connecting with
Clover Street. Haystack is not a legal
public road, and the city has been in
discussions with the residents around
the area to have a connecting road. Ken
Dixon stated it is time the city started
to do things legally and put in a legal
public road. The road would run from
Haystack Road down through the rodeo
grounds and connect into Clover Street.
This would not affect any rodeo activity
and would possibly make it easier to
access the rodeo grounds as well. Steve
Culverwell has donated his time to complete a survey of the parcel and to make
sure if there are any problems then the
city and residence will be able to find
another route for the public road. They
survey has been approved and is the
first step to a public road for residents
on Haystack Street.
In other business, there was a broken
water line on Spring Heights, and some
repairs are needed. It was approved at
the meeting to spend RTC funds for fixing the sidewalk and repairing the line.
Also, the Clark Street project to build a
sidewalk on the other side of Clark Street
has been approved, and the City will begin plans for the new sidewalk.

Magician and illusionist Geoffrey Hansen performed at the Thompson Opera
House on March 12.
Crowd enjoys night at Opera House
By Sarah Somers
On March 12 the world famous magician and illusionist, Geoffrey Hansen,
returned to the Thompson Opera House
for what turned out to be another successful show.
Hansen began performing illusions at
the age of 17 and has performed in over
forty countries. The family-friendly
event featured an all-new show and
was equally entertaining. Hansen was
accompanied by Tim Smallwood, a comedian and performer with a strong
resemblance to Bill Clinton. He had the
crowd rolling with laughter with his dry
humored jokes and entertainment. Les
Derkovitz, who manages the events for
the Thompson Opera House, reported
an attendance of about 90 people at the
magic show, which was a successful
crowd.
The magic show was especially enjoyable both years as the crowd is involved
throughout the program. Hansen intends to return for another magic show
at the Thompson Opera House next
year and the next event scheduled is a
musician for Labor Day weekend.
The Thompson Opera House is available for many community purposes and
Derkovitz is always seeking out new
shows to bring to the community. For
more information on the Thompson Opera House events follow their Facebook
page at https://www.facebook.com/PiocheThompsonOperaHouse or contact
Les Derkovitz at 775-962-5426.
March 30 at 11 a.m. is the date and time
at the Caliente Youth Center for a preconstruction meeting regarding building a new bridge across Meadow Valley
Wash to the Caliente Youth Center.
County Commissioner Paul Donohue, chairman of the Board of Highway
Commissioners, said the bid for the
bridge work has been given. Expected
cost of the project is about $1.9 million.
He said the county has obligated itself
to do the detour road across the creek
and can start that work on August 1 for
an expected two-week period. “We will
use in-kind labor to do that,” he said.
Following that, construction work on
the new bridge is expected to last from
August through the end of January,
2017, weather permitting.
“The City of Caliente has already done
some preliminary work in terms of moving power lines,” and Donohue said the
Lincoln County Telephone Company
will need to move some of their phone
poles and cable TV lines in the area as
well. “Right now, the lines are running
parallel with where the bridge is going
to go, and we need to move it at an angle
to be out of the way.”
Donohue said the bid for the job came
in at more than what the City of Caliente
had to spend, “but the state Public
Works Department has be working on
reducing some of the costs, and that’s
why we are going to do the detour road,
which helps gets the project cost closer
to what the final bid was.”
The new bridge will be in the same
place as the existing one, but be built up
a little higher.
Those traveling to and from the youth
center will need to make a sharp right
turn and go down the road behind
Thomas Petroleum for about 100 feet to
where the temporary detour road will
be placed going over a few large culverts
In 2005, a major flood washed out the
bridge to Youth Center, meaning staff
and students had to be evacuated by helicopter.
The new bridge will be built in such a
way that future flood waters flow freely
underneath and not be able to go over
the top, allowing silt and other debris to
flow past and further on down the wash
which was deepened and widened a few
years ago.
“It’s been a long, long time coming,”
Donohue said. “I’m really grateful for
all the work the state public works
have done, plus the city and the youth
center. A lot of people have worked really hard to get this and try to make this
happen.”

Sen. Heller pushing for faster
approval of broadband easements
O
nce again Nevada’s Washington representatives are having
to resort to legislation to force
the slothful federal land agencies to more quickly allow the public
access to rights of way across putatively
public lands.
Earlier this month Nevada Republican Sen. Dean Heller added two
amendments to the Making Opportunities for Broadband Investment and
Limiting Excessive and Needless Obstacles to Wireless Act (S. 2555) — yes, to
those acronym-enamored lawmakers
and their staffs it is known as the MOBILE NOW Act.
Heller’s principal effort is to establish
what he calls a “shot clock” that gives
federal land agencies 270 days in which
to decide on approval or disapproval
of applications for easements or rights
of way for fiber optics lines to improve
broadband access in rural areas of Nevada and across the West.
At a meeting of the Senate Committee
on Commerce, Science, & Transportation, Heller said of his “shot clock”
proposal, “It’s a huge win for rural
America, especially rural Nevada. It’s
going to go a long way to helping my
state — which as you know is controlled
85 percent by federal lands.
“Let me give you a couple of examples,” he said. “First example is the
NTIA (National Telecommunications &
Information Administration) awarded a
grant years ago to get fiber out to seven
of Nevada’s rural hospitals. You know
it has taken years, years to get that out
there primarily because of how long it
took to get the applications approved by
both the BLM and the Bureau of Indian
Affairs. That’s just one example of why
this is so important.”
Another example he cited was an
effort by CenturyLink to provide
broadband service to a community of
300 just outside Las Vegas called Mount
Charleston.
“It’s a recreational area and it attracts
tourists and it also has a Girl Scout
camp out there,” Heller observed, “but
it took more than two years just to
resolve service for the Girl Scout camp
due to federal bureaucracy. Mount
Charleston still isn’t fully connected,
years later.”
He concluded his “shot clock” would
make a big difference.
In 2010 the Nevada Hospital Association (NHA) applied for and received
a $19.6 million grant for the purpose of
improving broadband telecommunications among rural Nevada hospitals.
With private funding the spending is
expected to reach $25 million.
The effort is part of the NHA’s Nevada
Broadband Telemedicine Initiative program, intended to improve patient care
by eliminating technology disparities
between rural and urban areas by establishing telemedicine — remote med-

ical diagnosis — and setting up a Health
Information Exchange to allow remote
access to electronic health records.
In addition to rural hospitals, the
network is available to public safety
agencies, educational institutions and
tribal governments.
Though Heller mentioned seven
hospitals, the broadband expansion
is expected to affect health care facilities in Winnemucca, Pahrump,
Elko, Tonopah, Lovelock, Hawthorne,
Yerington, Ely, Gardnerville and Battle
Mountain, according to press accounts.
Back in 2014 the Reno newspaper already was reporting on the federal land
agency obstacles to connecting the rural
hospitals. The BLM finally waived its
demand for an expensive reclamation
bond to finance the restoration of the
land to its pristine state following the
laying of the lines.
The Nevada Broadband Telemedicine
Initiative would allow the state to serve
patients in Nevada with 21st century
telemedicine applications, said Bill
Welch, president of NHA. “The goal of
our member health care facilities has
always been to provide patients with
the best possible care using the latest
technology available in the healthcare
industry,” he was quoted as saying.
“We feel this network is the next step in
living out that goal.”
Telemedicine allows patients in
rural areas to “see” a doctor via video
over the Internet, saving the time and
expense of driving to Las Vegas or
Reno to see primary care or specialist
doctors.
Nevada law already permits this by
saying the practice of medicine means
to “diagnose, treat, correct, prevent or
prescribe for any human disease,” etc.,
etc., including “by using equipment that
transfers information concerning the
medical condition of the patient electronically, telephonically or by fiber optics.”
The MOBILE NOW Act — to which
Heller added his amendments — is
being pushed by South Dakota Republican Sen. John Thune and aims primarily at encouraging federal agencies
to increase the airwave spectrum for
sale to broadband providers to connect
cell phones and remote internet connections, also a problem for rural areas.

Washington should let
Nevada set its own clocks
N
evadans have once again gone
through the futile and counterproductive ordeal of resetting all our clocks to comply
with the dictates of our elected naifs in
Washington.
We are now temporarily on Pacific
Daylight Saving Time, despite the fact
our Carson City lawmakers nearly a
year ago passed Assembly Joint Resolution No. 4 that proposes to make Pacific
Daylight Saving Time year-round.
“WHEREAS, Congress also found
and declared that ‘the use of year-round
daylight saving time could have other
beneficial effects on the public interest, including the reduction of crime,
improved traffic safety, more daylight
outdoor playtime for children and youth
of our Nation, [and] greater utilization
of parks and recreation areas …’” AJR4
reads in part. It then asks Congress to
allow the states “the option of establishing daylight saving time as the standard
time in their respective states throughout the calendar year …”
It passed both the Assembly and Senate and was enrolled by the Secretary
of State, and since has been greeted in
Washington by our own delegation with
the chirps of crickets.
Moving the clock forward in summer might save a few kilowatt-hours
in electrical lighting. In fact, a report
to Congress, after it moved the start of
daylight saving time a month earlier to
the second Sunday in March, found that
nationwide in 2007 there was a savings
in electricity of only 0.03 percent.
Though it might save a few pennies
in power, this is offset by other factors.
One study found that springing forward
causes enough sleep deprivation to cost
the U.S. economy $435 million a year.
The New England Journal of Medicine
found an association between that one
hour loss of sleep from daylight saving
time and an increase in car accidents,
as well as a 5 percent increase in heart
attacks in the first three weekdays after
the transition to daylight saving time.
Ironically, the whole daylight saving
time concept appears to have originated
with a satirical essay by Ben Franklin,
while he was serving as ambassador
in France. According to his tongue-incheek account, he came up with the
concept when he mistakenly arose one
day at 6 a.m. instead of noon and discovered the sun was shining through his
window. “I love economy exceedingly,”
he jested, and proceeded to explain in
a letter to a local newspaper how many
candles and how much lamp oil could
be saved by adjusting the city’s lifestyle
to the proclivities of the sun.
Franklin observed: “This event has
given rise in my mind to several serious
and important reflections. I considered
that, if I had not been awakened so early
in the morning, I should have slept six
hours longer by the light of the sun, and
in exchange have lived six hours the
following night by candle-light; and, the
latter being a much more expensive light
than the former, my love of economy
induced me to muster up what little
arithmetic I was master of, and to make
some calculations, which I shall give you
….”
Then he did the math, and exclaimed,
“An immense sum! that the city of Paris
might save every year, by the economy
of using sunshine instead of candles.”
In 1918 in a effort to be more economical during the war, Congress borrowed
from Europe the concept of daylight
saving time. Shortly after Pearl Harbor
until the end of the Second World War,
the nation was on year-round daylight
saving time, or war time, as it was called.
Congress passed the Uniform Time
Act in 1966 and has amended it several times, though we fail to find this
enumerated power in our copy of the
Constitution. Only Arizona and Hawaii
have been allowed to opt out by sticking
with standard time.
Steve Calandrillo, a professor of law
at the University of Washington, argues
that hundreds of lives would be saved
if we went to year-round DST. “Darkness in the evening hours is much more
deadly than in the morning hours —
there are more drivers on the road and
more children playing outdoors,” he
reasons.
Washington should allow Nevada this
one little boon to set its clocks as Nevadans see fit. — TM

Lynx notch first league wins
Pahranagat
boys fall
to Mojave
LCR
The Lincoln County High School baseball team went 3-1 last week, defeating
Lake Mead twice during a doubleheader
in Henderson last Friday and splitting a
pair of games at home against Moapa on
Monday.
Lincoln beat Lake Mead 7-4 and 13-7
during their first league contests of the
season. Mike Wood pitched during
the first game and did well, according
to Lynx coach Raymond Wadsworth.
The second game was tight until Wood
and Nick Vincent got a couple two out
hits to break things open. Kobe Walker
pitched in the second game, with Alex
Vincent closing. Wadsworth said it
was great to get those first two wins of
the season, especially since they were
league games.
“Lake Mead’s improved a lot since the
last time we played them,” he added.
In Monday’s matchup against Division I-A Sunrise League opponent
Moapa, the Lynx lost the first game 14-4,
but defeated the Pirates 9-2 in the second contest.
The first game was ugly for the Lynx,
according to their coach. He said the
team was flat footed and didn’t have any
drive or “killer instinct,” as the Pirates

Wadsworth said a serious team discussion occurred between games, where
the team was challenged to decide what
type of group they were going to be. The
Lynx responded, looking like a different
team in the second game. “Everything
clicked for us,” Wadsworth said. “The

kids were making plays, running down
balls, getting hits.” He added, “The second game was kind of a gut check or
character check, and I was pleased with
the outcome.”
Aside from being a bigger school,
Moapa was also undefeated coming into
the doubleheader
The Lynx are now 2-0 in league play
and 3-5 overall. More league opponents
are on deck. Next up for Lincoln is a
Tuesday doubleheader at home against
Mountain View around 1 p.m. Next Friday (April 1), the Lynx travel to Las Vegas for a doubleheader against Agassi
Prep. Both Mountain View and Agassi
Prep have yet to win a ballgame as of
Wednesday.

standings, Lincoln is second to Needles,
which has three wins and no losses and
is 5-4 overall.

Track teams compete at Liberty tourney
LCR
Both county high school track teams
competed at the Liberty Invitational in
Las Vegas on Saturday.
They joined 14 other teams that participated in the meet. Schools included
those from the larger Divisions I (eight
schools) and I-A (four schools). Lincoln
County was the only school from Division III and Pahranagat Valley was
joined by Beatty and Tonopah in Division IV.
The Panthers had six team members
compete. On the girls side both Jessica
Harrington and Madison Mathews
earned strong finishes. Mathews finished first in the 800 meters with a
time of 3 minutes 8.65 seconds. She
was the lone competitor in the division for the 1600 meters, with a time of
7:03.24.
Harrington was second in the long
jump, jumping a distance of 12 feet 6.5
inches. She also was second in the 400
meters with a time of 1:16.14, and third
in the 200 meters, finishing in 33.26 seconds.

On the boys side, Oscar Heredia was

dash with a time of 58.08 seconds.
Isbiel Riera and Danny Heredia ran
the 200 meters and competed in the long
jump. Brent Thatcher competed in the
1600 meters and the long jump as well.
Thatcher, Riera and the two Heredias
also competed in the 4x200 relay, finishing third in their division with a time of 1
minute 51.02 seconds.
For the Lynx, as the sole Division III
team, there was no comparison with
division foes, but individuals held their
own against a large field of competitors.
In the girl’s high jump, Brooklyn Hafen
finished second overall, clearing 4 feet
10 inches. Also on the girl’s side, Dani
Lister was sixth overall with the throw
of 94-02.00. In the boys long jump, Sam
Anderson was third, jumping a distance
of 21-00.50. Benson Wadsworth also had
a solid ninth finish overall, jumping 19
feet even.
On the track, Landen Smith and Tyler
Frehner both had strong showings in
the boy’s 300 meter hurdles. Smith finished fifth overall with a time of 42.91
seconds and Frehner was ninth, finishing in 44.18.

Lady Panthers surrender late lead to Rattlers
By Dave Maxwell
Pahranagat Valley was leading 7-1
with one out over Mojave in the bottom
of the sixth inning in a non-league game
March 18.
Then the rains came.
A torrential downpour in terms of
runs scored by Mojave in the rest of that
inning.
Jessica Ortiz led a Mojave rally with
two doubles and two RBI’s and the Rattlers pushed 15 runs across the plate before the Panthers could get the final out
and trailing now 15-7.
Two runs in the top of the seventh
were far from adequate and the Panther
girls lost 16-9.
“We made a few changes and started
making uncommon errors,” said PV
coach Mike Sparrow, “and they took
full advantage of it. Nothing in particular. They got hot offensively as a
team, got momentum going, and we
made a few mistakes and didn’t make
those final two outs early on when we
had a chance. Then eight of the next
10 batters got base hits with fortune
hops and things just dropping in the
gaps.”
Sparrow gave credit to the Mojave
players who hit the ball really well,
banging out 22 hits, most in the sixth inning rally, and PVHS had 11 hits.
“We got the first out of the inning,”
Sparrow noted, “had a chance for two
outs with two batters, but it just didn’t
happen.”
As a team, Sparrow said the kids
need to learn from this experience to
focus hard all the time, don’t let up. “I
take the position you can learn from
just about anything if you chose to,” he
said. “And that’s what I challenge the
kids to do.”
A famous quote from baseball legend
Satchel Paige applies to most any sport,
“Don’t look back, something might be
gaining on you.”
A young team with but two seniors,
five juniors and seven sophomores,
the Panthers (2-2) have the week off for
spring break and host Moapa Valley
Mar. 29 before heading off on their California trip April 1-2. They have a single
game April 1 at Carpinteria High, then a
double header at Channel Islands High
in Ventura against Channel Island and
Foothill Tech.
The next home game is April 5 with
Virgin Valley and the first league game
is a two-game set with Sandy Valley in
Alamo April 14.
Large snakes can strike quickly and
the Mojave Rattlers did when they
played the Pahranagat Valley Panthers
baseball team in a non-league game last
Friday.
They scored 12 runs in the first inning
en route to an easy 17-4 win.
Cameron Torres went 2-for-2 with
four RBIs to lead Mojave. Elijah Glaze
allowed two hits and struck out five in
four innings to earn the win.
Pahranagat Valley turned a triple
play in the third inning.
Mojave’s first inning outburst came
on six singles and two Panther errors.
Tabor Maxwell started for PVHS, but
lasted only the first inning. Coach Brad
Loveday said Tabor’s shoulder was
quite tired and he just didn’t get many
strikes in, walking four and giving up
seven runs. Christian Higbee, Ike Taylor and Brendan Stewart all saw work
in relief, but the Mojave batters were
strong and accounted for nine hits in
the remaining four innings.
Overall, Mojave easily handled the
Panthers pitching as six hitters combined for eight hits, 13 RBIs and 14 runs
scored.
After pushing across four runs in the
top of the fourth, the Panthers faced just
a 15-4 deficit. A fielder’s choice, a passed
ball, and an error fueled the Panthers’
comeback, however Glaze ended the
inning by getting Asher Haworth to fly
out.
“Mojave (8-2, 1-A Sunset league) is a
good team,” Loveday said, while PVHS
(4-2) is a young team with only two seniors, four juniors and five sophomores.
Pahranagat plays a double-header
with Mineral County in Hawthorne today. The teams last played in 2010-2011
with the Panthers winning all three
times. The Serpents are 3-2 on the season.
The following week, April 1-2, the
Panthers travel to the California coast to
play Ojai Valley in Ojai on Friday, then
Cate Academy in Carpinteria on Saturday.
Pahranagat’s first home league game
is April 14 hosting Sandy Valley.

Lady Lynx
cruise past
Lake Mead
LCR
The Lincoln County High School
softball team trounced Lake Mead last
Friday during a doubleheader in Henderson.
The Lady Lynx won by scores of
16-0 and 20-3 for their first league
wins of the season. Hannah Lytle
pitched for the win and Kia Phillips
was catcher. Cameron Lloyd went
3 for 3 with a home run and 2 RBIs.
Abby Schimbeck also had a home
run. Alisha Rowe, Chesnee Harding
and Phillips each went 3 for 3.
In the second game, Josie Burgess
pitched for the win, with Phillips again
handling catching duties. Burgess had
two doubles. Easton Tingey, Harding,
Phillips, Schimbeck and Sarah Butler
each had a double.
The wins put the Lady Lynx record at
5 wins and 2 losses and the team is 2-0
in league play. Needles is on top of the
Division III Southern League at 3-0 in
the league and 6-3 overall.
Up next for the two-time defending
champs is the Centennial Spring Jamboree at Majestic Park in Las Vegas.
The tournament began yesterday and
continues through tomorrow.

Hype of a living trust
By Jeffery J. McKenna
Many advertisements warn readers
that making a Will may be one of the
biggest mistakes they can make. The
ad might detail the horrors associated
with settling an estate with a Will. The
advertiser offers a simple solution: the
Revocable Trust. All you have to do,
states the ad, is to purchase do-it-yourself Revocable Trust forms and use
them instead of a Will. These Trusts
are not only being sold through these
do-it-yourself forms, but they are also
being touted by newsletters and the
popular press as an excellent way to
structure your estate.
The promoters of the Revocable
Trust are suggesting that you transfer
all of your assets to the Trust while
you are alive. You, or you and your
spouse, are the trustees of the Trust
and manage the Trust assets for your
own benefit. You can change or cancel
the arrangement at any time. In sum,
while you are alive nothing has really
changed except that your assets are
technically owned by the Trust, rather
than by you as an individual. All of
the supposed benefits of the Trust
come into fruition when you die. The
promoters state that your assets automatically pass to your beneficiaries
without the delay or expense of probate. The Trust also claims to ensure
privacy and save thousands of dollars
in attorneys fees. Finally, most of the
ads also mention how the Revocable
Trust will save on estate taxes.
When you cut through the sales
hype, the reality is that a Trust is not a
“magic solution.” That’s not to say that
the benefits of a Trust aren’t desirable.
They are. It’s just that the Trust isn’t for
everybody, as the promoters are claiming. Rather, the Revocable Trust is just
one tool to be considered when planning your estate. Often it is the best
choice, but sometimes other options
are better.
There are some very good reasons
for drafting a Trust, however, it is important to get good advice from an estate planning attorney before making
your estate planning decisions. In all
cases it is risky to pursue estate planning with “do-it-yourself” kits. The
estate tax results could be disastrous.
Estate planning is among the most important decisions of your life. Pursuing it wisely is yet another gift to your
heirs.

Emergency management looking for
foreign language speakers, wheelchairs
LCR
Lincoln County Emergency Management is looking for assistance from the
community with two public service requests.
Occasionally people traveling through
our county encounter an emergency situation. Sometimes there are language
barriers that hinder first responders in
providing assistance. The office of emergency management is seeking people
who have foreign language skills and are
willing to volunteer in emergency situations to assist with translation issues.
Additionally there is an occasional
need for good, working wheelchairs. If
you have a wheelchair in good working
condition and no longer have a need for
it, please consider donating it to provide
assistance to those with mobility issues
in emergency situations.
If you can help with either being an interpreter or donating a wheelchair, please
contact Lincoln County Emergency Manager, Rick Stever at 775-962-2376.
Many hard rock miners came to the
town of Delamar in the mountains of
eastern Lincoln Country in the late
1890’s. Ed Dula was one of those. He and
his wife built a small cabin, like many
others, out of the native local rock. Some
of these homes could still be seen on the
hillsides around the ruins of town as late
as 1956, according to a story, with photos, published in the Las Vegas Sun.
The Dula family had several children
while Ed worked in the mines. As reported in the newspaper article, the
youngest son of the family was Tommy.
A sickly child, as an infant little
Tommy was saved from death by “a
mixture of cornstarch and whiskey.” An
odd combination to say the least.
For unknown reasons Tommy
couldn’t survive on breastmilk, as the
other children in the family had done.
Bottle formulas didn’t exist in those
days. Or if they did, it was certainly beyond the ability of the mountain mining
town of Delamar to have any.
Mrs. Dula said, “the poor little fella
sickened on cow’s milk, too. He was los-
Show
performances, solos, duets, trios and
other arrangements. It was an amazing
showcase of the talent within Dance Dynamics, and the hard work the girls and
coaches put into each piece was evident,
as they never missed a beat. The stunning costumes, stage props and decorations alongside the superb choreography
and music made for a enjoyable show of
Lincoln County’s talented dancers.
Anderson thanked her assistant coaches,
ing weight and cried all the time. I tell
you it was awful. We were afraid every
day would be his last.”
Delamar had a doctor, whose name is
not mentioned, but apparently he was
of no real help. “He had me try diluted
canned milk,” Mrs. Dula said, “but that
didn’t work either.”
An old Irish woman was living in Delamar with her son and his family. She
heard about the problems with little
Tommy Dula. She had a solution: Boil some
cornstarch and water into a thin gruel, she
said. Then strain it free of lumps. Add two
teaspoons of Grade A whiskey to the pint.
Irish whiskey was probably preferred.
Both ingredients were easy to come by.
The general store had cornstarch, and
whiskey, of that Delamar had plenty.
Nobody said it had to be Irish whiskey,
so it may not have been, just Grade A
stuff, and that was not hard to find.
Mrs. Dula was desperate to try anything, and hurried to the task, “and with
some misgivings,” gave the mixture to the
baby. It worked. Little Tommy survived,
grew up, worked for and later retired
from the Union Pacific Railroad, and was
one of Caliente’s best known citizens.
Jessica Mathews and Anna Gloeckner. She
thanked Gretchen Soderborg and Jenny
Mathews for decorations and her husband, Bart Anderson, for announcing. She
said she will miss her seniors from Team
Elite, Jana Ahlstrom, Sarah Butler, Asia
Frehner, Lizzy Gloeckner, Jenna Mastin,
Jordan Phillips and Jade Walker. Community members expressed gratitude to have
Dance Dynamics to give young dancers
the opportunity to learn and grow in this
performing arts field.
Dance Dynamics will show their dance
recital for the younger non-team dancers
on April 8 and 9 at the Neldon C. Mathews Center.
Election
#ikickbutts thru the
whole month of March!
This is a national event
where youth in communities
around the world will STAND
OUT … SPEAK UP … and
SEIZE CONTROL AGAINST
BIG TOBACCO!
Kick Butts Day occurs one day each year, and is one of
the largest events that promotes youth to get involved
in the fight against tobacco. There are a variety of
different activities and events that occur around the
nation. Locally the NyE Communities Coalition Youth
Advocates and Youth WERKS program participants
volunteer to clean up the local parks by picking up the
cigarette butts in the play ground area.
In addition to the park clean up the youth will also be
participating in the #NotAReplacemnt selfie campaign. Everyone can join this project. Post a picture of you or your family and show why you are
not a replacement.
The tobacco industry understands the long-term effect
of this daily loss of customers and, to keep replenishing
its customer base, has marketed its products
aggressively, particularly to youth. In fact, one tobacco
industry document actually describes youth as
“replacement smokers.” Why? Because Big Tobacco
needs to replace their customers who become addicted
and die from their products.
