No injuries after blaze rips through travel trailerBy Dave Maxwell
An early morning fire de-stroyed a 5th wheel travel trailer at the Eagle Valley Resort Jan. 20.
County Sheriff Kerry Lee re-ported the call came in to the dispatch center in Pioche about 5:30 a.m. of a fire in the trailer in one of the spaces at the re-sort. The trailer was occupied by Dennis O’Conner and Mary McCormack who were in the trailer at the time of the fire but managed to escape.
The Eagle Valley fire truck and Meadow Valley and Panaca fire departments responded, along with Meadow Valley Am-bulance, Pioche ambulance and the county water tender.
“Those 5th wheels can burn fast and hot,” said Lee, “so it was completely involved by the time we arrived. I don’t know if the couple were able to salvage anything.”
County District Fire Chief Rick Stever said the trailer was a total loss, fully engulfed when he was the first to arrive on the scene. He said the couple were asleep and were awakened by the trailer filling with smoke and had to make a quick escape through the smoke to get out the side door. No injuries.
State Highway 319 to Eagle Valley from Pioche was very treacherous that morning, Lee
said. With the snow storm that had blanketed the area with heavy snow, even though the road was plowed, “there was still quite a bit of black ice on the road and we had to go slow and easy, very treacherous and slick and deer on the road.”
There were concerns other trailers around might also catch fire, but firefighters were able to protect those, Lee noted. “A large propane tank was also nearby, and it got so hot the valve opened and it was vent-ing burning fumes, but it didn’t
explode.”Lee said with the bad win-
ter weather of late, “the county and the state have done a great job in keeping the roads plowed, and we have also be very fortunate to not have had much in the way of major inci-dents.”
John Crosthwait, owner of the resort, has provided a cabin for the couple to live in temporarily and many others have donated food, money and clothing. “A real show of community sup-port,” one local resident said.

new restrooms at Pioche courthouse put on holdBy Dave Maxwell
New restrooms are needed for the county courthouse in Pioche. Plans have been in the works for some time according to County Planning and Build-ing Director Cory Lytle.

However, as Lytle told county commissioners Jan. 17, “If we do that right now, it will make it difficult to pay for everything related to taking over the oper-ation of the solid waste hauling and disposal in the county and some other things we need to work on this year.”
He said if they did move for-ward for new restrooms, “we would have to start the bidding right now and awarding of the bid and contract in late Feb-ruary, early March, and break ground in April in order to have everything buttoned up by next winter.”
Lytle said there is about $340,000 sitting in a fund that could be used, but the projected cost by the engineering firm, SH Architects of Las Vegas,
is around $800,000 for about 2500 square feet of work.

Proposals being accepted for lincoln Archaeological initiative
The Bureau of Land Management will accept proposals for Round 10 of the Lin-coln County Archaeological Initiative (LCAI) from Tuesday, Jan. 17 through Friday, March 17, 2017.
Proposals under the initiative focus on the inventory, evaluation, protection and management of unique archaeolog-ical resources in Lincoln County, Nev. Projects must be on public land within Lincoln County and address the priori-ties outlined in the solicitation.
Proposals are being solicited through grants.gov, solicitation #L17AS00010, or through fedconnect.net, solicitation #L17PS00104. Proposals must be submit-ted directly to the BLM grants or contract-ing officers named in the solicitations.
Funding for LCAI comes from rev-enues generated through the sale of public lands identified for disposal in the Lincoln County Lands Act and ex-isting land-use plans. The Act created
a special account in which 85-percent of the revenues from land sales are de-posited. Funds in the special account may be used for a number of activities, including the study of archaeological re-sources in Lincoln County. The remain-ing funds are distributed to the State of Nevada (5-percent) and Lincoln County (10-percent).
To date the BLM has approved $9,131,746 for archaeological projects in Lincoln County. Expenditures ap-proved include documenting Paiute and Shoshone rock art sites, and oral histo-ries and practices; archaeological site in-ventories; obsidian toolstone research; settlement pattern studies; educational brochures and websites; archaeological educational curriculum and upgrade of archaeological collections by invento-rying, re-marking and repackaging of artifacts collected from public lands in Lincoln County.
PV wrestlers begin league dualsBy Dave Maxwell
This weekend is the Class 2A South-ern League Duals in Laughlin for the Pahranagat Valley boys wrestling team, and after that, on Feb. 3-4, says coach Brad Loveday, are the 2A regionals at White Pine High in Ely, the qualifying matches for the state tournament.
“These league duals are like the regu-lar season in basketball, you get to wres-tle everybody in your weight class,” he said. “We just do them all in one week-end, because our league is small enough we can do that.”
The Panthers are a young team, just three seniors, “and you just never know how things will go until you get there. This is where you kind of figure some things out. They all have their potential. This is the weekend you find out where each one stands,” Loveday said.
Salvador Heredia is considered a top prospect at 113 as is freshman Reece Thornton at 170.
The dual matches, Loveday explained, will give a wrestler a ranking going into the regionals, but only the top four in any given weight will advance to the state meet Feb. 11-12 at Spanish Springs High School in Sparks.
Spring Mountain and White Pine are among the top teams in the 2A South-ern. Loveday said White Pine’s Monte Moore (145) and Eric Pickens (152) are among the leading contenders in the 2A Southern. “They have a good coach and even though they might only come with six or seven wrestlers, they are go-ing to be solid and the kids that make it through are really good kids.”
Looking at other teams in the region, Loveday said Laughlin is a good team also. “All the teams have a few really good kids.”
Battle Mountain from the Northern 2A will again be considered the favorite for the 2A state title at Spanish Springs. The Longhorns are the four-time de-fending champions.
and Co. express messenger handed over only $3,100, which was a fraction of the amount he had in the safe. By January 17, 1871, three of the four robbers were con-victed of the crime and sentenced to 30 years in Prison.
And so, history records that the first and second train robberies in the state of Nevada happened 20 hours and 380 miles apart to the same train on the same day. The Central Pacific wood burning steam engine No.1, named the Governor Stanford, has been restored and can be seen at the California State Railroad Mu-
seum in Sacramento.

NeVada history
nevada’s first two train robberies happened on same dayBy Dennis Cassinelli
One of the first jobs I had after I left the ranch was as an engineering aide for the Nevada State Highway Department (Now NDOT) in 1962. I was assigned to a sur-vey crew on the first Interstate 80 freeway project heading east from the California state line near Verdi. While working there, I learned that this area was the scene of the first train robbery in Nevada.
On the evening of November 4-5, 1870, the Central Pacific Overland Express passenger train Engine No. 1 from San Francisco arrived at this small station 11 miles west of Reno. Just as the train was leaving the station, three masked men boarded the express car behind the en-gine and disconnected the engine and express car from the rest of the train. Five more robbers from other cars on the train soon joined them and took con-trol of the engine and express car. With
pistols and brute force, the gang com-manded the engineer to resume the trip toward Reno. The two brakemen, fire-man and express workers were locked up at gunpoint in the mail room.
Meanwhile, about five miles west of Reno, near a place called Hunter’s Sta-tion, other members of the robbery gang had built an obstruction on the track with rocks and timbers in order to stop the train. The engine and express car stopped at the obstruction on the tracks. With the aid of a double barrel shotgun, the robbers removed from the express car several Wells Fargo sacks filled with twenty dollar gold pieces from the San Francisco Mint. The value of the gold coins was $41,600. There was an addi-tional $8,800 in silver bars, but these were too heavy for the robbers to carry away with them. All the telegraph lines were cut west of Reno.
The gold coins on this shipment were
being shipped to Virginia City and to make payroll for Gold Hill’s richest property, the Yellow Jacket Mine. The silver bars were to be distributed to banks on the Comstock. The leader of the band of robbers who held up the train was a Sunday school superinten-dent named John Chapman. Investiga-tors determined the robbers placed the gold in old boots in order to carry that many of the heavy gold coins.
The Conductor, named Frank Mar-shall, was able to let the rear half of the train, minus the engine, to coast down-hill to the place where the robbery had occurred. When this half of the train arrived at the scene of the robbery, the robbers had already finished their work and made their get-away. The engineer and fireman were busy removing the ob-structions from the track. The two halves of the train were once again connected together and the complete train, minus the stolen loot, made its way to Reno. The train arrived in Reno at thirty minutes af-ter midnight, only thirty minutes late.
Immediately, law enforcement offi-cers went into action to apprehend the train robbers. A gambler from Virginia
City named Gilchrist, two stage robbers from Storey County named John Squires and Jack Davis, a gambler from Virginia City named Parsons, Sol Jones, J.C. Rob-erts, John Chapman and Tilton Cockerill were all apprehended and sentenced by December of 1870. Most of the gold coins were recovered but about 10 percent of the treasure was never found. That means over 200 $20 gold pieces are still missing.
In an amazing coincidence, the Cen-tral Pacific Railroad Overland Express passenger train Engine No. 1 was robbed again just 20 hours after the robbery be-tween Verdi and Reno. This second heist occurred 380 miles east of Reno near Pe-quop Summit in Elko County. This was the same train, on the same run, on the same day as the story I have just told. Since most of the treasure had already been stolen, the robbers were only able to get a few silver bars and some cash. This robbery was completely unrelated to the first heist and none of the robbers even knew each other.
Several thousand dollars had been picked up in Elko but the Wells Fargo

Lawmakers must finally address public worker retirement reform
thomas mitchellcommeNtary
In his State of the State speech this past week Gov. Brian Sandoval tossed out tax money like trinkets and candy from a Mardi Gras
parade float — a couple million here for this or that education program, a few million there for a veterans’ home, mil-lions for a medical school, more millions for an engineering school and pay raises for state employees.
“This session, my budget includes a 4 percent cost of living adjustment and increased funding for health benefits to recognize the shared sacrifice and dedication of our state employees,” the smiling governor said about his spend-ing proposal for the coming two years.
Overall, Sandoval proposed a 10 percent increase in the general fund portion of the state budget, even though the cost of living increase for 2016 was only 2 percent.
What the governor did not address was how the taxpayers are going to pay for the commensurately higher retirement pensions that are tied to the salaries of those state employees.
Nor did he take note of the fact his proposed budget — total budget, not just the general fund — is 49 percent higher than the total budget he proposed when he first took office, while over the past decade the Nevada median household income has fallen 17 percent.
A part of the growth in state govern-ment spending has been due to bur-geoning pensions for state employees, who upon retirement are guaranteed a percentage of their highest salary level — which officially is 70 percent after 25 years, but can often top 100 percent after various pay add-ons and gimmicks are employed. Public employees in Nevada can retire in their 40s and get paid more in retirement than they were paid for actually working.
In 2008 the Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce called on the Legislature to change public employee retirement ben-efits from the current direct benefit plan to a direct contribution plan, similar to a 401(k), because the expenditures were growing at an unsustainable pace.
In 2011 a report drafted for the Nevada Policy Research Institute by Andrew Biggs, an economist with the Ameri-can Enterprise Institute, concluded the
Nevada Public Employees’ Retirement System is vastly underfunded by more than $40 billion.
“What people don’t realize,” Biggs said to a luncheon audience back then, “is your typical public sector pension plan is a lot more generous than what a typical person is going to get in the private sector. Let’s just take a person and run their wages through what they would get from PERS versus what they could get from a typical 401(k) plan combined with Social Security, because public employees here don’t participate in Social Security. They both pay the same amount on average. The total contribution is about the same, but the benefits for someone under PERS — for a full career employee — is some-where around 50 percent higher.”
In 2015 Reno Republican Assembly-man Randy Kirner introduced Assem-bly Bill 190, which called for reforming PERS, which at the time was costing nearly $15,000 per Nevadan per year and growing.
The changes Kirner proposed would have applied to future state and local gov-ernment workers and not current ones.
AB190 would have introduced a hy-brid — part defined benefit, part defined contribution.
The bill also tied the minimum re-tirement age for receiving full benefits
to that allowed under Social Security, though police officers and firefighters would be able to retire with full benefits 10 years earlier.
Kirner argued his bill would have a minimal impact on taxpayers, but the PERS administration claimed it would cost millions to implement. Kirner withdrew the bill so the funding could be studied and he could re-introduce it again this year, but Kirner decided to not seek re-election.
Instead, state Controller Ron Knecht has offered a bill nearly identical to Kirner’s, but it is questionable whether it will get much of a hearing before a Legislature that is now comprised of majority Democrats in both chambers.
This past summer NPRI’s Director of Transparency Research Robert Fellner released a 36-page report warning that if the economy stumbles the PERS “fan-tasy economic forecasts will be replaced by immediate bankruptcy — leaving every Silver State household with a sud-den, implicit, $50,000-plus tax liability.”
Nevada lawmakers have been kicking this can down the road so long it is now a 55-gallon drum ready to explode.

We now know the pecking order in Nevada.
In his State of the State speech this past week
Gov. Brian Sandoval boasted that the Tesla gigafactory near Sparks, in addi-tion to making batteries for electric cars, would also be making electric motors and gearboxes, adding 550 workers.
Left unsaid was who would pay for the police and fire, schools and other govern-ment services those workers would need, since Tesla was given $1.3 billion in tax breaks and credits, as well as promises of millions more to improve roads, by law-makers in a special session in 2014.
Tesla is owned by billionaire Elon Musk.
Nevada takes care of billionaires.Nevada lawmakers in a special
session in 2015 agreed to dole out $215 million in tax abatements and credits plus millions in road improvements to entice Faraday Future to build an electric car factory at Apex in North Las Vegas. The company is owned by a Chinese billionaire.
As if on schedule, legislators in 2016 agreed to pony up $750 million in tax money to help build a domed football stadium for the billionaire owner of the Oakland Raiders, Mark Davis, and Sheldon Adelson, billionaire owner of the Sands casino corporation and the Las Vegas daily newspaper. The stadium would also require the state to spend $900 million for road improvements.
Almost as an afterthought, Sandoval tossed out a $60 million sop to the parents who have applied for education savings accounts (ESAs) approved in 2015 by lawmakers. The ESAs were blocked when the state Supreme Court said ESAs are constitutional but the funding mechanism devised by the lawmakers was not.
Under the law, parents who opt out of sending their children to public schools would be given an education savings account that would equal a portion of the statewide average the state spends per public school pupil, currently that
is about $5,700. Low-income parents and parents with special needs children would get 100 percent of that amount, while all others would get 90 percent, or about $5,100 currently.
That money could be spent on private schooling, tutoring, transportation, dis-tance education and/or homeschooling.
“We’ve heard from the thousands of Nevada families about how crucial it is that we give them freedom of choice in the education of their children,” San-doval said in his speech. “I look forward to building a bi-partisan solution to get this done. It is time to give Nevada families more choice.”
Well, a few Nevada families perhaps.It turns out the $60 million — $25
million in the first fiscal year and $35 million in the second — would fund about half the 8,000 to 9,000 ESAs al-ready applied for so far in the first year and about two-thirds of them in the second year.
To add insult to injury, a spokesman for the governor said Sandoval is open to limiting who is eligible for ESAs by imposing means testing — the more a family earns, the less the family could get back from its own taxes.
When Sandoval announced his fund-ing proposal for ESAs, Republicans applauded and Democrats sat on their hands, prompting the governor to quip with a chuckle, “I knew it would be a split house on that one.”
In 2015 not a single Democrat voted in favor of authorizing ESAs. Now the Democrats have majorities in both chambers of the Legislature, making that bi-partisan solution look like a pipe dream.
The governor had his chance to fund ESAs in that special session, while Republicans still held majorities in both chambers, in which lawmakers approved $750 million for that football stadium in Las Vegas, but he failed to put that on the agenda. Just not as im-portant as the billionaires.

editorialletters to the editor
dear editor,The recent snows have brought out
a variety of public employees who have worked to make our community safer. They have worked at odd hours, and in difficult weather. We owe all of them a big THANK YOU.
Another group of people have done a considerable service to this community, and in my judgement, are generally un-der appreciated.
They are the inmates at the “Honor Camp.”
Summer and winter, they do a variety of chores that benefit us all. Driveways are cleared, fire plugs are shoveled out, sidewalks are cleared. All of us benefit by having a cleaner and safer commu-nity. They also do a variety of services for the community in the summer, and year round.
We owe these inmates a THANK YOU. One simple way to do that is to provide each of them with a framed “Letter of Appreciation” signed by the county com-missioners, the town board, the sher-iff, or some public official. This could be done at the time of their release, and could be presented at a commissioners meeting. The frame would cost about $5.00.
This would be a simple, effective means to thank the inmates for their unpaid work. Doubtless, it would be something of pride for the inmate to have. At the same time it would show what a “classy” community we are.
Any comments from any of the “classy” politicians, or public officials out there?SinCERELy,OwEn HiLL
dear editor,iT’S A CRyinG SHAME
It’s a crying shame when the VFW takes the time and their money to help the “SHOP WITH THE COP PRO-GRAM” to show support for the law en-forcement community by selling “BLUE LIVES MATTER” lawn signs and not one officer purchased a sign!
It’s a crying shame that not one office from the Lincoln County Sheriff’s office, Nevada Highway Patrol, BLM Rang-ers, correction officers, Railroad police, or any retired law enforcement office in Lincoln County would purchase a sign. Now that’s a crying shame!
It’s a crying shame when the VFW and the citizens try to raise money for the kids, and to show support for the cops, and not one office will show support for themselves or the kids, now that’s a cry-ing shame.
50% of the signs were sold to the VOL-UNTEER Search and Rescue and the rest to the general public. That’s a crying shame.PATRiCk JACk HORnER, COMMAndER CFw POST 7114 CALiEnTE
dear editor,The opportunity Vortex will provide
the City of Caliente as well as the county is extraordinary. I understand the reser-vations some may have about past tech-nology which has been around for years but the possibility of our community be-ing on the ground floor of something this innovative is wonderful.
This is NASA technology. Sure change will come but it would be good change. Jobs will be created. More of our chil-dren will have a choice in staying in Lincoln County rather than having to find employment in other parts of the country. Yes, we should all be asking the right questions but we should also not be driven by fear.

Lincoln wins overtime thrillerBy Camden Lamb
The Lincoln County High boys bas-ketball team hosted Mountain View in an electric game last Friday. The game went to double overtime, and Lincoln came out with the win.
Lincoln Coach Ken Thornock was a little cautious about the Brooks twins for Mountain View. Terrence and Tyrell both score very close to 20 points a game. The rest of the team doesn’t score half as much as they do, and knew if his team could slow the dynamic duo, their team would struggle to put points on the board.
Thornock had confidence in his play-ers that they could stop the twins. The coach said senior guard Cody Thor-nock especially stepped up defensively. “When Cody was on Terrence Brooks, he didn’t score much at all.’’ But after a while, he got a little harder to contain. At halftime Lincoln had 23 points and Mountain View had 26. Terrence Brooks had 20 of their points.
At halftime, coach told his team to fo-
cus on taking good shots and playing lockdown defense.
Lincoln fought hard in the third pe-riod and outscored Mountain View by four points.
In the fourth, the game got intense. Both teams giving it everything. In the final twenty seconds of the game Lin-coln was down by two. Junior guard Eli-jah Harr dribbled the ball up the court and pulled from three. Of course it went in and Lincoln was up by one. Everyone thought the game was over, but then the refs whistle blew with no time left. De-fensive foul on Lincoln and two shots for Tyrell Brooks. Thornock said, “He had a perfect stroke on the first free throw. I thought he was going to make both, and the game would be over.”
The second shot bounced off the front of the rim.
In overtime, senior forward Kevin Mathews really took over. He had some huge baskets and finished with eleven points in the game with nine rebounds. With Terrence Brooks fouled out of the
game Lincoln was able to win the game by ten points.
Lincoln’s next game against Lake Mead was just as exciting, just had a dif-ferent ending.
The team played a great first half. The players executed their offense well and played hard defense. At halftime Lin-coln was up 30-20.
After halftime, the team wasn’t able to get anything going. Coach said, “Their mental approach wasn’t the same.” The boys got relaxed, and it came back to bite them. Lincoln got outscored in the third period by nine points. The final quarter Lincoln only scored ten points and Lake Mead had seventeen. Harr filled up the statsheet. He had 13 points and five re-bounds with four assists and two blocks.
Thornock said, “I am proud of the ef-fort of the team. They give me everything when they stepped out on the court.”
Lincoln (5-13 overall, 3-8 league) next plays at home tonight at 6:30 against Calvary Chapel. The team hosts The Meadows tomorrow at 3 p.m.

Panther boys fall out of first place By Dave Maxwell
A very cold shooting first half hin-dered the Pahranagat Valley boys in los-ing to Spring Mountain 51-47 on Tues-day in a game for first place in the 1A Southern League.
Coach Mike Strong said, “They were just better than we were all through-out the game, quicker to the ball than we were. I thought they got us trying to play at a little quicker pace than we like to play, and we ended up rushing things which caused us some issues and miss-ing a number of easy shots. They’re not easy anymore when that happens. We kind of dug ourselves a hole, losing the first place standing. Hopefully, we’ll work hard and give ourselves an oppor-tunity to get out of it.”
After being down 16-12 at halftime, PVHS did manage to grab the lead 37-36 with 3:28 remaining. However, Spring Mountain’s Kelly had 12 of his game high 26 points in the fourth quarter as the Golden Eagles outscored the Panthers 24-19 that quarter and hung on for the win.
Junior center Culen Highbe had 18 to lead the Panthers. At the foul line they were 18-for-27 (66 percent), including 10-of-13 in the fourth quarter. The Eagles connected on 6-of-11 free throws in the fourth quarter and finished the game 6-of-14 (42 percent).
The win leaves Spring Mountain (9-10, 5-0) in sole possession of first place in the league with three games remaining and a first round bye into the league tourna-ment semifinals Feb. 17 in Las Vegas.
Pahranagat Valley (16-2, 3-1), if they can win out the remaining four league games, as the No. 2 seed, will also get a first round bye. At present, Beatty (11-4, 4-1) is the No. 2 team in the league. The Hornets and the Panthers play in Alamo Feb. 4. PVHS beat the Hornets 57-23 at the Beaver Dam Diamondback tourna-ment De. 10.
Last Friday, Highbe had 17 of his game high 28 points and 10 rebounds in the
first half to power the Pahranagat Valley over the Round Mountain Knights 68-37. Cody Williams added 12 points and seven rebounds for the Panthers.
Pahranagat threw on a full court press at the very beginning and took advantage of numerous turnovers or missed shots by the Knights for an early lead. The 6-foot-9-inch Highbe seemed to be able to do whatever he wanted under the basket as Alamo raced to a 19-7 first quarter lead and was up 44-16 at halftime.
In all, nine players scored for Pahrana-gat and only five for Round Mountain. Payton Brown scored 13, and teammate Corbin Jensen had 10 points for the Knights.
Strong said the boys did a “really nice job entering the ball and giving Culen opportunities inside and he did a good job of finishing. We also rebounded the ball pretty well and were able to move the ball really well.”
This week, Pahranagat has just one league game, at Sandy Valley (6-7, 0-3) tonight, and a non-league game with vis-iting Mountain View (4-17) on Saturday.

Pahranagat Valley girls rally for win over Round MountainBy Dave Maxwell
With 3:45 left in the fourth quarter, the Pahranagat Valley girls trailed visiting Round Mountain 36-30. Then the Lady Panthers hit four three pointers, one by Shayla Leavitt and three from Karley Whipple, tightened their defense and scored the final 13 points of the game to take a come-from-behind 46-37 win in a battle for first place in the Class 1A Southern League.
Facing last year’s league co-MVPs Hannah Swafford and Alyssa Hanks, coach Amy Huntsman said, “We just planned to not let them have the ball.” Leavitt was in Swafford’s face all game holding her to seven points. In the mean-time, Gracie Carter, Madi Taylor and Allyse Frehner rotated to double-team Hanks and held her to seven points as well, only two baskets.
A very physical game early on, the Panthers defense seemed like a bunch of angry bees, swarming to every pass and every loose ball, keeping the scoring down to a minimum with the Panthers holding a 13-11 halftime lead.
Things opened up more in the second half, and Round Mountain (10-6, 2-1) tied the score at 23 at the end of the third quarter on a long shot that banked in at the buzzer.
Tia Sample then hit back-to-back three pointers early in the fourth quarter giv-ing the Knights a 36-30 lead. Huntsman
said, “I wasn’t worried, I knew we had time, I just felt we needed to make the adjustments quick and we did, it was a team effort.”
Whipple tied the game at 37 with a three pointer with 1:36 remaining and another gave Alamo the lead. She fin-ished with 19 points for Alamo. Leavitt had 12. Tia Sample was high for Round Mountain with 13.
“I feel we are finally coming together, peaking as a team,” said Huntsman. “I’m really proud of the girls for their defense. We basically just ran a triangle-and-two. We had worked really hard on that all week in practice. It was really good for the girls to get some confidence.”
Taylor said the game plan was to deny the ball inside to Hanks, known for being able to draw the foul and go to the line where she is nearly 80 percent accurate. In this game, she was only 3-of-4, primar-ily because she just didn’t have the ball. Pahranagat (9-7, 3-0) has two games this week, a league game at Sandy Valley (2-5, 0-3) today, then non-league with Moun-tain View (4-13) in Alamo on Saturday.
In the following weeks the Panther girls will face all four of the other con-tenders for a playoff spot with three of the final four games, including the last three, in Alamo.
The No. 1 and 2 seeds in the playoffs get a first round bye and move to the league tournament semifinals Feb. 17 at Sunrise Mountain High in Las Vegas.

lady lynx win two at homeBy Camden Lamb
The Lincoln County High School girls basketball team hosted Mountain View and The Meadows last weekend.
Neither opponent was much of a chal-lenge for the Lady Lynx.
Mountain View was the first of Lin-coln’s victims. In the first period, LCHS held them to one point. During the sec-ond period, they kept the pressure on and got out to a bigger lead by halftime.
The Lady Lynx weren’t scoring at as high of a pace as usual. In the third pe-riod, they only had 11, and in the first half they had 16. Against much more difficult opponents, they could score that regu-larly. But it was still enough, as Lincoln won 37-11. Junior guard Kailey Kelley really stood out with 16 points and a few

bustor, is in “non-final rejection” status (by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Of-fice) even though he says that his tech-nology is “patent-protected”.
3) Mr. VanNatta doesn’t currently own the original Vortex combustor (even though he said he was the “sole owner” in the January 11, 2017 public meeting). The original incinerator and the rights to it were sold to a different corporation: WE2E, LLC. (See the letter in Steve Cul-verwell’s possession.)
4) There is no available data to support Mr. VanNatta’s claims of a clean burn (even though he says he has such data).
5) Censors to monitor the composition of emissions don’t exist at this time even thought Mr. VanNatta led us to believe they do. Volume, temperature, and vor-tex speed CAN be measured - - but NOT emissions.
These are just a few examples of dis-crepancies which we have found. If you want to see the supporting evidence, such as links to web sites (the U.S. Patent and Trade Office, Silver Flume: Neva-da’s Business Portal, the EPA, previous VanNatta business corporations, vari-ous articles on incinerators, etc); letters received from WE2E, LLC, and others; prior business associates to call in Shel-byville Indiana; etc., call Steve. (775-962-1753).
Steve has spent hours making calls to people who have worked with Mr. VanNatta, and following up leads about him on the internet. Steve needs time to get his findings to our city and county representatives before a permanent (and possibly damaging) decision is made.
We all need to consider the probabil-ity that land values will go down when potential buyers find out that a “waste burner” is functioning in our county. Do we expect that people will, by choice, come and buy places to live where there is an incinerator in operation?
We are anxious to encourage our friends and neighbors in this county to do your own research! Don’t believe us! Look up “hazardous waste inciner-ators” or “furans and dioxins”....Find out about the technology and the peo-ple who are behind this proposal! We need alert, informed and intelligent citizens who help our leaders to make wise, informed decisions. Do your re-search! If Steve and I are wrong, please correct us!
Finally, ...”we the people” need to call our elected representatives and make our thoughts known. We need to en-courage our leaders to slow down, do the research thoroughly and correctly, and make a wise and well-thought-out deci-sion which will bless us for generations to come (not just for this moment and this generation.)
Please call our Caliente City Council members: Victor Jones (726-3749); Cody Christensen (726-3672); Steve Rowe
(726-3317); John Ahlstrom (726-3267), or (Mayor) Stanna Hurlburt (call city hall at 726-3132).
Call our county commissioners as well because the land that is being proposed as the site of this waste burner is located partly on county land.
In the meantime, Steve will be getting the information that he has gathered to our city and county leaders.
Thank you. SinCERELy, STEVE And kAREn CuLVERwELL

dear editor,I am so very sad to hear the news that
our dear friend, Casey Folks, a Legend in Desert and Off Road Racing, has passed away today.
I had the great pleasure of working with Casey in Caliente, Nevada for many years with his events and award ceremo-nies. Gosh it was so much fun, the life he breathed into our community during race time was something to see.
Later on, living in Carson City I had the opportunity to photograph some of the Vegas to Reno race for Quick Throt-tle Magazine and my own Nevada Live Magazine.
Casey was kind, generous, and a true American Patriot! He had wicked hu-mor too, I loved that!
He loved America and supported Vet-erans everywhere. He always donated to our Veterans in Caliente to support their efforts and held many a race banquet at the VFW Hall.
He loved what he did with such pas-sion and encouraged so many to get out there and ride, drive and have a good time.
Many Riders from Lincoln County cut their teeth on Casey’s events and have gone on to do great things in racing.
In our Lincoln County his events made such and economic impact, it attracted racers and their entourages from across the nation to stay and enjoy all that the county had to offer. Which was simple, small town beauty awesome terrain and a spirit of welcome...ok, and couple of bars and great food too.
He loved Caliente so much he bought a house here. He was a good friend and neighbor to all, and even entered the pa-rade at 4th of July!
We all looked forward to the excite-ment that came with each of his events! My own husband Edward Fruend en-tered in his motorcycle races back in the day!
He was so much a Legend in Off Road Racing, I truly thought he would live for-ever!
His joy filled, adventurous spirit will be missed and the loss of him will be felt all over this world. My heart aches with Lincoln County at the loss of our friend.

rebounds.In Lincoln’s game against Lake Mead
it was a whole different game offensively for the Lady Lynx then the one against Mountain View the night before. The team was killing it in the first period. They scored twenty points, and Moun-tain View only had one bucket. The girls picked up the offensive pace and was still able to play hard defense.
At halftime the game was pretty much over. Lincoln had 37 points and the other
team had 9. Lincoln carried the hot streak on to the second half where they scored nineteen more points and won the game by 30, 56-26.
Kelley had 13 points. Senior Kia Phil-lips scored 16 points, and freshman Sadie Soderborg also got double digits with 12. The girls had a great defensive game. They had five players on their team get at least one block.
The Lady Lynx are gearing up for play-offs. Currently, they are third in the di-vision with a 13-7 overall and 9-2 league record.
The team hosts Calvary (6-8, 4-6) today at 5 p.m. and The Meadows (5-10, 3-8) to-morrow at 1:30 p.m.
