Solid waste service fee policy amendedBy Dave Maxwell
County Planning Director Cory Lytle presented some changes in accordance with amending the solid waste service fees since Lincoln County has taken over operation of the solid waste hauling and landfill.
In speaking to the board of county commissioners this week, Lytle pre-sented his idea for amendments to two previously approved resolutions.
One of the earlier resolutions elim-inated the waiver except for a person
owned property or had a home more than 20 miles away from a dumpster or qualified for a financial hardship, they would continue to be granted a discount. Lytle said there were eight such prop-erty owners in the county in 2016.
He said the solid waste bills were sent out a bit late in February, and when they began to be returned, many people were still claiming to be covered by what were called “seasonal discounts.”
He said those particular discounts amounts to about $15,000 a year the county is not getting to provide service.
Lytle recommended to the commis-sion, which was later accepted after much discussion, that the county retain the two previously adopted resolutions and implement a third proposal of a 50 percent discount for a second home in the county that is unoccupied. “People would have to prove it is unoccupied,” he said.
Lytle said there are about 40 such homes in the county, which are not oc-cupied on a full-time basis. Those homes would be subject to a 50 percent discount on the solid waste service fee, or in other
words, a monthly landfill bill.The loss revenue to the county by do-
ing that, he said, is between $26,000 - $27,000 per year, based on previous dis-counts that were allowed.
The reasoning, Lytle explained, is that, “if it is an occupiable home, hooked up to the grid, in most cases, it is an occupiable home, no matter how much time a per-son spends or doesn’t spend there.”
He said, “It is very difficult for us to go to every place and try to determine

Pahranagat Valley FFA chapter holds fundraiser for state tripBy Sarah Judd
Quite a few people showed up to support the Pahranagat Valley FFA on March 2 at Carlos’ Restaurant. The FFA used to stand for Future Farmers of America, but in 1988, they revised it so the organization would include all types of agriculture. Members of the FFA were helping serve the customers in hopes to raise enough money to at-tend the state convention in Reno March 21 to 25. In Reno, twenty-seven out of thirty-five students ranging from eighth to twelfth graders, who are a part of the Pahranagat Valley FFA will compete in areas such as meats, horse judging, pub-lic speaking, milk quality and products, floriculture, creed speaking, veterinary science and agricultural mechanics.
Cody Sanders, the group’s advisor, ex-plained that they learn in class and find their interests. He then gears it towards
competing. He said each student works an average of thirty to fifty hours outside of the classroom towards his or her area of study. He encourages the students and tells them, “The more you put in, the better you will do.”
Logan Ohl, 14, a freshman at Pahrana-gat Valley High School who is compet-ing in Floriculture, as a first year in the group, explained why she became inter-ested in the FFA. “The experiences this gives you and being able to learn new things like business is something that you can’t normally learn in the class-room.”
Tayt Leavitt, 14, an eighth grader at Pahranagat Valley Middle School and also in his first year in the group, is com-peting in Meat Evaluation. “My brothers and sister have been a part of it in the past and they all had so much fun. One of my dreams is to own a ranch and to know what I’m doing to run one, and
this will help me.”Daved Wilson, 18, a senior from PVHS
said that his dad used to be the advisor for FFA so that helped him become in-terested in participating in the future. Wilson is in his fifth year with FFA and is on the State Nominating Committee to select state officers. “I’m really inter-ested in agricultural things,” he said. “I work on ranches, and I have grown up in a farming community. I like the different conventions and trips. I also like being able to meet new people and learn lead-ership skills.”
Allyse Frehner, 17, a senior at PVHS talked about how it is her fourth year in the group and third time going to a state convention. She is competing in Veterinary Science, which involves a written test and 18 practicums where tasks are performed having to do with

Local school bands, choir put on spring concertBy Natalia Vargas
On March 7, the Lincoln County ele-mentary, middle and high school band, concert choir and show choir students showcased their talents in an outstand-ing spring concert.
This event was adjudicated by se-lected judges Sharee Mathews and Clark Black for the talented kids to move on to the Music in The Parks festival in California. The concert was organized by the fine arts director Ja-cob Lester. Lester described the night as “phenomenal”. Indeed, the night started off with the elementary school band giving a beautiful rendition of Bill Haley’s One O’Clock Rock and the Ray Parker Jr. classic Ghostbusters. There was a lot of hard work put in these per-formances and the delivery showed the dedication of the students, as Lester remarked. He added, “This year’s kids have been phenomenal, willing to put in the hard work and participate. They’ve learned their music faster than most other 6th grade bands.” The ele-mentary kids were accompanied by Lester on the drums and senior Derek Mathews directed the group.
The concert also featured the mid-dle school band performing advanced
songs like the traditional folk song Greensleeves, All The Things and James Swearingen’s Winchester Chronicles. Lester described it saying that their ef-
fort made them tight together at the end and because of that “they scored really well.”
This concert also featured a special performance from 7th grader Mack-enzie Marshall, giving the audience a thrilling piano rendition of A Great Big World’s Say Something. Marshall’s solo showcased her extraordinary singing abilities. Her performance originated from her desire to try out, however, once she “started to play the piano and… sing-ing, everybody in the choir melted and said ‘we’ve got to have her do this [in the concert].’”
Next, the choir kids sang cheery tunes, like the Lebanese folk song Hala Lala Layya, Joan Baez’s Barbara Allen, I’m Gonna Walk My Way to Heaven and Matthew Curtis’ Everlasting Mel-ody, with beautiful voices and high spirits. Their performances were “re-ally good” and despite not achieving
“the superior rating, they did really well,” Lester said.
Another outstanding part of the night was sophomore Abby Lover-me’s rendition of Adele’s All I Ask. It was praised as a chilling performance that showcased her talented voice and beautiful range. Lester remarked that “she has some pipes! Everybody [in the room] was impressed with her ability.”
Later on, the concert featured the high school band, directed by Lester, playing songs like John Prescott’s Ta-ble Rock Festival, B.J. Brooks’ The Willows of Winter and the Clifton Williams’s Variation Overture. Their well-polished performance received a great response from the the stand-ing-room only crowds and achieved the Superior Rating that allows them to go to the festival in California. It was regarded as having an amazing sound, with Caralee Frehner commenting on the high caliber of the Lincoln County High School Band, remarking that “they sounded like a professional band.”
Following this act was Lincoln Fre-hner’s beautiful rendition of Eugene Bozza’s Caprice. The sophomore gave a great performance of the classical tune.
Finally, the Lincoln County show choir closed the night singing show tunes like One Short Day from the musical Wicked and Time Warp from the Rocky Horror Picture Show musi-cal. The bright red, sparkling costume wearing teens belted out cheery rendi-tions of songs while dancing synchro-nized moves. Their performance show-cased the talented kids from Lincoln County and their dedication to their craft. Junior show choir performer Carlin Christensen commented that even though they were extremely ner-vous, “because concerts are just nerve wracking… once we got out there and started singing, we managed to pull it together.”

lcRDA backs away from marketing proposalBy Dave Maxwell
Having a marketing firm undertake a web-based marketing campaign, possi-bly associated with the Faraday Future electric car company, to move some of their manufacturing to Coyote Springs, is not going to be supported by Coyote Springs, said senior vice-president and general counsel Emilia Cargill.
She noted at the Feb. 27 meeting of the Lincoln County Regional Develop-ment Authority that she felt unable to support the proposed idea from Target Industries Prospects, which has helped the LCRDA before. She questioned how good the leads from TIP would be and to what extent they would be qualified leads.
In the past, some leads by TIP to LCRDA have not worked, admitted Mike Baughman, executive director of the LCRDA, and the board did not take any action on the proposal.
Board chair Dave Hurd also expressed concern that the cost of the proposed
marketing campaign, $500 for each qualified lead, in addition to a $12,000 marketing campaign fee, appeared ex-cessive.
In other news, Coyote Springs Invest-ments did express interest in attract-ing one or more firms to develop solar projects within the Lincoln County por-tion of their development. Two-thirds of Coyote Springs lies within Lincoln County.
Baughman reported he plans to at-tend the Solar Power International 2017 tradeshow in Las Vegas Sept. 10-13 and noted that he generated several possi-ble leads when he attended the same tradeshow in Dallas, Texas, a few years ago.
Cargill said the Southern Nevada Wa-ter Authority and the Silver State En-ergy Association had received a Record of Decision from the BLM regarding development of their planned 230kv electrical transmission line proximate to Coyote Springs and north through Lin-coln County.
letter to the editor
dear people of liNcolN couNty,
Last November well over 200 of us came together at the Caliente Fire Hall to pray and sing; to be in unity. It was a great opportunity to shine a light in a troubled world. Many people have told me since that they would like to continue to gather as a County. We are considering the National Day of Prayer, a summer picnic, and/or a Thanksgiv-ing gathering. If you would like to par-ticipate in making any of this happen, please come to a planning meeting April 4 at 7 p.m. in Gray Hall at the Caliente Methodist Church.
One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on in-
side people. He said,“My son, the battle is between two
‘wolves’ inside us all.One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy,
sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-p-ity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority and ego.
The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, be-nevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith.
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, “Which wolf wins?”
The old Cherokee simply replied, “The one you feed.”
I hope you will join us!SiNCERELy,MAGGiE ORR

It was a short Caliente City Council meeting on March 2. Councilman Jones was absent taking his final test to become a Certified Public Ser-
vant.Updates were provided concerning ongoing grants:For the mountain bike trails, bids will go out in April and plans are a June start

whether the person deserves a discount or not. In the real world, there are no dis-counts. If you are hooked up utility-wise, you pay what that rate is each month, no exceptions.” He added, “We have to turn the corner on this.”
The additional revenue the new amendment would generate will help run the landfill, which is expected to cost about $533,000 per year to provide the service, at least for a couple of years, be-fore improving.
The definition of term “occupiable” in the amendment, Lytle said, is if the utility power has been disconnected for a period of six months during the solid waste billing cycle of the current fiscal year, or the dwelling unit is deemed unfit for human occupancy.
“There are a bunch of those in the county also,” he said, “and we are cur-rently charging those a lower set rate. They are on the tax roles as a dwelling unit, but is not occupiable, and is given a discount.”
Lytle said he understood the frustra-tion of someone who owns a home in Lincoln County, but lives elsewhere, still getting a garbage bill or a utility bill if those services are hooked up. “We are having to re-create this utility format and structure for residential and com-mercial.”
Daryl Bradshaw said he was attend-ing on behalf of several residents in the Maloy/McDermitt area, none of whom, he said, are hooked up to a meter, using solar instead.
He said the residents were complain-ing about not receiving a letter of notifi-cation of the high solid waste service fee increase and paying now for something they are not receiving, because they han-dle their trash themselves, which is usu-ally minimal.
Lytle could not say why the residents had not received a letter of notification but would work to see that timely notifi-cations would be made if future changes might be needed.
Bradshaw recommended the land-owners in that area be allowed a six-month discount until the next fiscal year begins in July. Lytle said he thought his office would be able to do that.

Bill proposes to turn Nevada into a ‘sanctuary state’
thomas mitchellcommeNtary
Return with us now to those thrilling days under the Ar-ticles of Confederation when every state made up its own
rules regarding immigration and nat-uralization of foreigners, back before the Constitution gave Congress the sole authority to establish such rules.
In arguing for enactment of the Con-stitution in Federalist Paper No. 42, James Madison wrote, “The new Con-stitution has accordingly, with great propriety, made provision against them, and all others proceeding from the defect of the Confederation on this head, by authorizing the general gov-ernment to establish a uniform rule of naturalization throughout the United States.”
Now along comes Democratic state Sen. Yvanna Cancela of Las Vegas, along with a host of fellow scofflaw Demo-crats, with a bill in Carson City that would turn Nevada into a “sanctuary state” by forbidding law enforcement cooperating with federal immigration authorities in identifying persons in their custody who are in this country illegally.
Senate Bill 223 states: “No state or local law enforcement agency, school police unit or campus police department shall: (a) Use money, facilities, property, equip-ment or personnel of the agency, unit or department to investigate, interrogate,
detain, detect or arrest a person for the purposes of immigration enforcement …”
Cancela was quoted by the Reno newspaper as saying the bill “limits the ability to participate in immigration en-forcement as far as what’s under federal purview.”
She went on to say, “The uncertainty that (President) Trump has created because of his executive orders, because of his political – frankly – hate speech around them has created a lot of prob-lems not only for local law enforcement, but individuals. I think it’s our respon-sibility as legislators to provide as much clarity not only to law enforcement but families who are affected by those policies.”
Currently, under a program called 287(g), cooperating police departments that take a suspected illegal immigrant into custody notify U.S. Immigration Customs and Enforcement agents and they have 48 hours to pick up that per-
son. In the past, ICE has been notori-ously lax in showing up within those 48 hours, but, according to numerous press accounts, this is no longer the case under the new Trump presidential administration.
Under SB223 this would come to a screeching halt, despite the fact all lawmakers are required to take an oath of office swearing to “support, protect and defend the Constitution and Government of the United States … that I will bear true faith, allegiance and loyalty to the same, any ordinance, resolution or law of any state notwith-standing …”
In reaction to the bill, Senate Republi-can Minority Leader Michael Roberson released a statement to the press, saying, “This ‘Sanctuary State’ bill is, without question, the most recklessly irrespon-sible piece of legislation that I have witnessed during my six plus years in the Nevada Legislature. This Democrat bill will undoubtedly result in violent criminals, who have no business being in our state, to be released back into our communities to wreak more havoc on Nevadans.”
One of the arguments made by sanctuary proponents is that illegal immigrants are loath to report crimes for fear they will risk deportation and this increases criminal activity. But state and local law enforcement cur-
rently does not ask those who report crimes about their immigration status, only those who are in custody, those most likely to continue criminal activity if ICE is not given the opportunity to deport them because they pose a dan-ger to the entire community — illegal immigrants included.
To add potential impact on state tax-payers to real danger of criminal activity, it should be noted that President Trump has threatened to withhold federal funds from sanctuary cities, and pre-sumably sanctuary states. He signed an executive order directing government of-ficials to identify federal money that can be withheld to punish sanctuary cities.
So what could this mean for the “sanc-tuary state” of Nevada should SB223 pass in a Democrat majority Legisla-ture?
The state’s total budget for the past two years was $26 billion. Fully $9 billion of that came from federal funds, according to the state budget.
Passing SB223 could have serious consequences to the bottom line of the state of Nevada, but that has never stopped the self-righteous Democrats, has it?

President Trump this past week signed an executive order telling the Environmental Pro-tection Agency and the Army
Corps of Engineers to review the so-called waters of the United States (WO-TUS) rule created under the Obama ad-ministration, which attempted to usurp dominion over every stream, ditch, wetland or muddy hoof print that might eventually spill a few drops of water into any rivulet that might occasionally be navigable with an inner tube.
“We’re going to free up our coun-try and it’s going to be done in a very environmental and positive environ-mental way, I will tell you that,” Trump said. “[We will] create millions of jobs, so many jobs are delayed for so many years that it’s unfair to everybody.”
Trump ordered the federal agencies to review a 2006 opinion by the late Justice Antonin Scalia, that reduced the scope of the act by defining “waters of the United States” as only permanent bodies of water and not the occasional result of rainfall.
Nevada was one of 23 states to file suit over the WOTUS rule. The Supreme Court ruled this past summer that property owners had a right to sue in court over permitting decisions. The federal agencies had contended prop-erty owners could only go to court once decisions were final, but essentially argued that all permitting decisions are reviewable and potentially reversible and therefore never final.
But litigation is expensive and time consuming. Heading off the designation to begin with is a better solution.
Nevada Attorney General Adam Laxalt, whose office pressed the federal lawsuit on behalf of the state, said of Trump’s executive order: “The waters of the United States rule proposed by the former administration would drastically expand federal authority over state and local waters, and I am encouraged that this administration is taking action to ensure that the execu-tive branch’s decisions are in line with congressional intent. We are pleased to see that this administration recognizes what the majority of states have already recognized — that federal rules like the
waters of the United States rule must be interpreted consistently with the intent of Congress, and that specific needs of individual states must be taken into ac-count by federal agencies like the EPA.”
In December 2010, the Hawkes Co. applied for a permit to mine peat on property in Minnesota. More than a year later the Army Corps denied the application, saying the land contained “water of the United States” because its wetlands had a “significant nexus” to the Red River of the North, located some 120 miles away.
In the opinion of the court, Chief Justice John Roberts pointed out the definition of WOTUS used by the EPA and the Corps includes “land areas occasionally or regularly saturated with water — such as ‘mudflats, sandflats, wetlands, sloughs, prairie potholes, wet meadows, [and] playa lakes’ — the ‘use, degradation or destruction of which could affect interstate or foreign commerce.’ The Corps has applied that definition to assert jurisdiction over ‘270-to-300 million acres of swampy lands in the United States — including half of Alaska and an area the size of California in the lower 48 States.’”
Roberts also noted that a specialized individual permit on average costs $271,596 and 788 days to complete. He said the permitting process can be “arduous, expensive, and long.” He left out futile, since the process never ends.
The Western Congressional Caucus said the EPA spurned public comment and input from the states in the rule making process, “This is nothing short of a federal seizure of state waters, to the point where very few, if any, water bodies will be left for the states to man-age. Water rights, economic growth, and local conservation efforts will suffer. Instead of working with the local officials and state agencies who know their needs the best, citizens will have to depend on a disconnected federal bu-reaucracy for management of our most precious natural resource: our water.”
Trump is to be applauded for reining in the overreach of the EPA and Corps in grabbing powers never envisioned by Congress. — TM
trump right to rein in ePA water grab
editorialfood and nutrition: your digestive systemBy Molly Roemer
Proper digestion is essential to a healthy body. Both chemical and me-chanical aspects are extensive to de-scribe. However, simply put, digestion begins in the mouth and ends with the large intestine. The three macronutri-ents, fat, protein, and carbohydrates will be discussed.
In your mouth, your saliva has en-zymes to begin the breakdown of starches and fats. Your food then passes down your esophagus using what is termed, peristalsis. Peristalsis is how your food is propelled using a kind of squishing motion. Your food then enters the stomach. Contrary to popular belief, little to no actual absorption of nutrients occurs in the stomach, but the stomach acts as a powerful mixer and hydrochlo-ric acid (HCL) breaks down and emul-sifies fat globules. There may also be a small amount of protein digestion hap-pening.
Your food then travels into the small intestine, which plays the leading role in digestion. The small intestine is about 20 feet long and has a lot of sur-face area due to folding and projections called villi. On top of those villi are even smaller villi called, microvilli. The small intestine is divided into three sec-tions based on function. The duodenum attaches to the stomach, the jejunum is in the middle, and the ileum is attached to the large intestine. The duodenum is where the pancreas and gall bladder attach and secrete enzymes and bile to help further digest your food. Most of the absorption of nutrients occurs in the jejunum. Here is a breakdown of how each macronutrient is digested in the small intestine:
Fat: Upon entering the duodenum of the small intestine, your gallbladder se-cretes bile (which was made in the liver) to emulsify the fat. Then the pancreas secretes enzymes to further emulsify and breakdown the fat. Fats are molecu-larly split. The villi of the small intestine absorb short-chain fatty acids, which then go into the bloodstream to be taken to the liver (your body’s unsung opera-tive). Long-chain fatty acids (found in most fats and oils we eat) are built into triglycerides (glycerol backbone with three long fatty acid chains), given a pro-
tein coating, and become a chylomicron ball. This chylomicron then goes into the lymphatic system, into the bloodstream, and finally makes its way to the liver.
Carbohydrates: The pancreas also secretes enzymes in the small intestine to breakdown starches into disaccha-rides (maltose, sucrose, lactose) and then within the walls of the small intes-tine they are broken down into mono-saccharides (fructose, glucose, and ga-lactose). These monosaccharides go into the bloodstream, and fructose and ga-lactose are chemically altered into glu-cose because that is the only form of car-bohydrate the body can use. Glucose is then used for energy to fuel your body’s cells and the excess is then taken back to the liver to be packed into long chains (glycogen) for energy storage within the liver and muscles, or converted into fat cells for long-term energy storage.
Protein: Within the small intestine, protein gets broken down into peptides and amino acids. Those amino acids are then absorbed into the bloodstream through the villi of the small intestine and go to the liver to be used. The re-maining go back into the bloodstream to be circulated and sent to your cells to build, repair, and maintain.
The large intestine is split into four sections. The ascending colon, which includes the appendix, the transverse colon, the descending colon, and finally the sigmoid colon which leads to the rec-tum and anus (all forming a square-like form). The large intestine mainly ab-sorbs minerals and water and its job is to form your waste so that it can be stored in the rectum and then excreted through the anus.
It can be kind of discouraging to think of your food as merely going through a long tunnel in your body and then ex-creted. Some may even find it depress-ing to think of food as a tool to fuel your body instead of something to be enjoyed.

Lincoln County baseball team begins defense of state titleBy Camden Lamb
Lincoln County High School baseball is underway.
Last season everything was clicking for the Lynx, as the team only had one league loss on its way to a state title.
However, it’s a different look this year, as Lincoln graduated six players from the 2016 club. “Losing those players is going to hurt us,” senior Cody Thornock said. “But I think we can pull through and be good.’’
Head coach Raymond Wadsworth
and his players hope for a repeat of last year. They have high hopes for the season, but it could be more dif-ficult with teams gunning for the de-fending champs. ‘’After winning state last year, now we got a target on our backs,’’ senior Kevin Mathews re-marked.
The competition will be tough. Nee-dles took the second seed and only had two losses last season, and they only lost three players to graduation. Lake Mead went 15-8, but they look like they could make a comeback year.
Mathews said, “We might struggle in the beginning, but as the season goes on and the young players find their role, we will get better.”
When asked what he hopes his bat-ting average will be this season, Ma-thews said, “I don’t focus on the stats, I just go out and play the best baseball i can.”
Thornock added, “I just want to get on base and score runs for our team.”

Pahranagat Valley was the domi-nate power in Class 1A baseball last year and looks to be equally strong this season. The defending Class 1A state champions have 13 players, in-cluding seven starters, returning from last year’s team that won the Southern League (6-0), then rolled through the regional and state tour-naments.
The Panthers were so dominant last season they won each of their games in the postseason by double-digit figures, compiling a 26-3 mark and finishing on an 18-game win streak. That was second only to the 22-game win streak the Panthers had when they won the state title in 2011.
Coach Brad Loveday begins his 24th season at the helm with a fine roster of returning players includ-ing P/SS Tabor Maxwell (Sr.), P/3B Christian Higbee (Sr.), 1B/P Ike Tay-lor (Sr.), C/3B Garrett Higbee (Jr.), 1B Duston Stewart (Jr.), OF Brodey Maxwell (Jr.), 2B/OF Asher Haworth (Jr.)
Although some of the boys have gotten a late start due to the school’s success in basketball, Loveday ex-pects, “We are going to work hard, and I think we will be very compet-itive.”
Maxwell was the Southern League Most Valuable Player last season and looks to be even better on the mound this season.
Other returning plays from the league First All-Star roster include Ike Taylor, C. Higbee plus Second Team returning lettermen Asher Haworth, Brodey Maxwell, Tyson Jorgenson and Garrett Higbee.
The Panthers open this season this weekend at the Desert Winds Classic in Mesquite.
They begin the home schedule March 17-18 with the Pahranagat In-vitational in Alamo featuring Beaver Dam, Eureka and Tonopah.

lady Panthers seeking 5th straight state titleBy Dave Maxwell
Twelve players and eight starters return for the Pahranagat Valley girls softball team for the 2017 season. The four-time defending state champions under coach Mike Sparrow will be looking to capture another title. Right now they are tied with Yerington (1986-89), Wooster (2000-2003) and Needles (2007-2010) for the most con-secutive state titles, four each.
Top returning players from the team that finished last season 27-8, (10-0 First in Division IV Southern) include 3B Madison Harris (Sr.), SS/2B Kyla Shum-
way (Sr.), C Madalyn Taylor (Jr.), P/2B Ashlyn Wadsworth (Jr.), SS/2B Morgan Harris (So.), and 1B/P Kaitlyn Davis (Jr.).
Madison Harris (.447, 4 home runs, 40 RBIs), Taylor (.398, 34 RBIs), Davis (.390, 4 homers, 37 RBIs) and Wadsworth (14-5, 3.00 ERA) have played big roles on some of the title squads in their careers. Mor-gan Harris (.375, 23 RBIs) also contributed last year for the Panthers, who picked up Shumway, a transfer from Moapa Valley.
“Our current seniors and juniors have been a major part of our success as under-classmen the last two or three years,” said Sparrow, who is in his 16th season with
the Lady Panthers. “We do expect to con-tend in the postseason again this year.”
Pahranagat Valley began the season last night with a game again Virgin Valley in the Cactus Classic preseason tourney in Mesquite. Action continues through Saturday involving such teams as Valley High of Las Vegas, Lincoln County, Aquinas (Calif,), Moapa Valley and Spring Creek.
The girls will play the same schools as the boys the next weekend, March 17-18, Beaver Dam, Eureka and Tonopah as they host their own tournament to open the home season.
lchs softball
new season, new coach for lincoln girlsBy Camden Lamb
Lincoln County High School softball is set to start another season.
Last year the Lynx fell at the state game. New head coach Danny Lloyd is confident that his team can do well, despite the loss of six starters from last year’s group.
Cameron Lloyd, Drew Cardinal and Kia Phillips are the only returning starters. We’re in a rebuilding year and we have a very young team,” Lloyd said.
‘’One of the good things about these young girls is that they
aren’t used to losing,’’ he added. “The girls are going to work hard everyday.”
Lloyd was an assistant coach for two years with longtime coach Pat Kelley. They won state both times when he helped. Af-ter Kelley retired, a lot of people really pushed Lloyd to take the position. He hopes to improve the all-around skill of the team.
The coach sees Needles and Mountain View as two teams to watch out for. Both teams didn’t lose a player from last year.
The girls head to Mesquite for the Sherm Bennett Memorial Tournament today and tomorrow. Lloyd said, “There will be a lot of big schools there, so lots of competition.”
taking care of animals. Frehner shares, “I love getting involved and meeting new people. I like doing it for fun and being able to go to state. Participating also helps us learn skills we need to know and opens up different opportunities for us.”
Laetitia Ray, 17, a senior, is finishing her fifth year as part of the FFA which is a huge family tradition for her. Her dad and brothers were all a part of the organization. She will be compet-ing in Floriculture, Prepared Public Speaking and running for state office. She explained, “I have made so many lasting friendships and the people I have met have lifted and inspired me in different ways that build my character and change myself for the better. The competitions also give you so much pressure that you learn to grow from them and deal with that pressure in a good way.”
The State Nominating Committee will select six individuals from those running for state of-ficers who will work together the best. Ray ex-pressed her feelings about running as “I thought I needed to grow by becoming a state officer. I struggled with the decision, but I knew it would be an opportunity that would shape my charac-ter. I realize it will be a hard year if chosen, and it seems scary, but I am ready for the opportu-nity to grow and jump out of my comfort zone.”
The Pahranagat Valley FFA was able to raise $598.25 from the night. They greatly appreci-ate the generosity of Carlos’ Restaurant for let-ting them raise money there as well as all of the members of the community who came out to support them.

NeVada history
fence building at the old nevada state capitolBy Dennis Cassinelli
The Nevada State Museum where I am a volunteer tour guide, has an option to take tours of the old Ne-vada State Capitol building on Carson Street. I have not yet given any of these tours, but I observed one given by Ron Roberts, who gives an excellent presentation. Visitors are taken to see the old Nevada State Supreme Court, the governors offices and the bronze statue of Sarah Winnemucca. They can see the gallery of portraits of all the Nevada State governors from James Nye to the present.
While on the tour, you can observe the substantial iron fence that sur-rounds the building that has an in-teresting history of its own. Hannah Clapp was a former school teacher from New York. She settled in Carson City where she convinced the Ter-ritorial Legislature to fund a private co-educational school known as the Sierra Seminary. In this effort, she had the support of Governor James Nye and Comstock mining baron, William Stewart. By 1864, the Sierra Seminary needed additional profes-sional staff and Hannah Clapp hired Miss Eliza Babcock from Maine to be her Vice Principal.
Together Miss Clapp and Miss
Babcock built a very nice home in northwest Carson City and made the Sierra Seminary one of Neva-da’s most outstanding schools. Mark Twain twice visited the school and observed the teaching and final examination methods of Hannah Clapp. These observations inspired Twain to use this information in some of the scenes in his novel, Tom Sawyer.
When the new University of Ne-vada was moved from Elko to Reno in 1887, President Leroy Brown hired Hannah Clapp as the University’s first staff member, to teach history and English, in addition to oversee-ing the University Library in newly-constructed Morrill Hall. Because there was no electricity or gas in the campus’ first building when classes began, as she later recalled, they liter-ally “burned the midnight oil” in the rooms to make the “blackness more palatable.” She founded Reno’s first kindergarten but she was replaced as a professor at the University due to her lack of qualifications.
The two educators made invest-ments in the the Belcher mine to help fund their many ventures. In 1875, The Nevada State Legislature decided to fund grounds improvements at the State Capitol. It had become unsightly
with stray cows, loafers and garbage. When bids were requested to furnish iron fencing materials to construct the new fence around the building, Han-nah Clapp and Miss Babcock saw an opportunity to make a profit for the Sierra Seminary. They submitted a bid of $5,500 in gold. Being the low bidder, she ordered the wrought iron from Philadelphia and had it shipped to Carson City by railroad.
When the fencing material arrived, a local contractor and his crew of workmen laid out a footing of sand-stone blocks from the state prison quarry. They drilled holes in the sandstone for the posts and set them in place with molten sulphur. When completed, the handsome fence sur-rounded the capitol grounds and is still in place today, just as sturdy as it was the day it was completed.
Since the cost of the materials was substantially less than what Hannah and Eliza had paid for it, they made a profit of $1,000. For many years after, a rumor circulated among many lo-cal newspapers and word-of-mouth that the two women did the actual construction of the fence. I have seen written accounts that tell about the two women toiling in the hot

LCHS drama department performs musicalBy Natalia Vargas
The Lincoln County High School’s drama production of the complex mix of many of Dr. Seuss’ most famous stories, Seussical The Musical, was performed Feb. 28 to March 4.
It was a friendly, magical show filled with humor and energetic high spirits. The show was directed by Pete Peterson and Jacob Lester, with the great help of Cherry Lournis.
Sophomore David Conahan remarked that “it was great experience; we were having a blast, and if the audience had as much fun as we did, I’m sure the play was complete a success.” Conahan was one of the students composing the drama crew, along with seniors Haylee Zierow, Nathanael Frehner, Tyler Freh-ner and Amy Thomas, juniors Jack But-ler, Jueun Lee, Carlin Christensen, Cody Dirks and Ashlee Decker, sophomores, Karina Sinjay, Abigail Loverme, Esther Lee, Kismet Derkovitz and Lincoln Fre-hner, and freshmen Hayden Showell, Joanna Ahlstrom and Jessica Shumway, among others.
The engaging musical was filled with cheery voices and outstanding perfor-mances, alongside the amazing por-trayal of Sour Kangaroo and The Cat in the Hat by seniors Zierow and Tyler Fre-hner. As Conahan also mentioned “the phenomenal energy the seniors bring to this kind of plays, it’s what makes it so fun for all of us, and it’ll be so much dif-ferent next year without them.”
Performing music created by Stephen Flaherty and orchestrated by Jacob Lester, the cast excelled at their rendi-tion of the lively musical. This show features familiar and beloved charac-
ters like The Cat in the Hat, Horton the Elephant, and Sour Kangaroo, taking us into the magical world of Dr. Seuss. The Cat in the Hat guides the audience into The Jungle of Nool where we meet Hor-ton, the kind-hearted elephant that dis-covers Whoville. Despite ridicule, Hor-ton bands together with Gertrude and chooses to do what he believes is right: saving the Whos and bringing peace to the Jungle of Nool.
This mix of Dr. Seuss stories is now considered one of the most produced musicals in the U. S., because it’s a fam-ily-friendly example of friendship, loy-alty and love. It’s a beautiful story to share with family and friends, that fo-cuses on the importance of staying true to who you are, being unique and fight-ing for what you believe in.
Such a complex play demanded a lot of effort, and as Decker remarked, the success of the play took a lot of hard work and long hours of practice, for over six weeks, starting right after win-ter break.
Departing senior Zierow remarked that the production of this play was con-sidered a challenge at first, because the simplicity of the story required a lot of charm, but “the whole group’s dynam-ics, from the directors, to the cast, to the sound and lights crew to the make up artists made it incredibly fun.” Since it’s the final play of the year, Zierow com-mented on how this was a great year for the drama production department, saying that “we’ve had an amazing year and every single moment has been filled with memories. When I look back on high school, my best memories will al-ways be on play practice or performing with these awesome kids.”

Pahranagat Valley federal credit union reports large growthBy Dave Maxwell
A report at the recent 58th annual meeting and dinner of the Pahranagat Valley Federal Credit Union from CEO Robin Simmers showed the financial institution has grown by about seven times over since 2000.
Simmers reported in her address to the assembled membership, “We have grown to over $22.5 million. We were only $3.5 million in 2000.”
She said loans have grown to over $12.5 million, “and we were able to pay out a loan interest rebate at the end of the year.”
The membership has grown now to over 2,100, and the credit union has
been able to maintain a higher dividend rate.
Simmers said, “We have donated to many school groups and donate schol-arships to the two high schools in the county. We have been able to give to fam-ilies for Thanksgiving and Christmas along with participating in the Secret Santa program.”
The annual membership meeting and dinner is the way to inform members of the financial condition at the credit union and to address or vote on any is-sues or topics as needed. “This is our way of giving back to the members by offering dinner and door prizes along with great information about their credit union,” Simmers said.
summer sun wearing their long woolen skirts as they built the fence themselves.
The story that no one knew that the bid submitted by H.K. Clapp was actually from a woman was simply not true. The myth persisted until 1996, when Guy Rocha and Dennis Myers put it to rest in their “Histor-ical Myth a Month” series, which tells the true story and sets the record straight.
The fence building story was just one small incident in the life stories of Han-
nah Clapp and Eliza Babcock. Hannah was profoundly distressed when her lifelong companion, Eliza Babcock be-came ill and died in 1899. Hannah moved to Palo Alto, California to retire and died there in 1908 at the age of 84.
She was known for her work as a fem-inist and suffragette and an advocate for aid to abused women. She worked on tree planting programs in Reno and worked to outlaw spitting in the streets of Reno.
