Caliente Fire Department
hosts annual Easter Egg Hunt
By Rose Lanigan
The Caliente Fire Department held its annual
Easter Egg Hunt this Saturday, 11 am, at Dixon
Park in Caliente.
Richard Jackson, Rick Phillips, and Fire Chief
George Rowe of the fire department hosted four
individual egg hunts. Ages 0-3, 4-Kindergarten,
1st - 3rd graders, and 4th - 6th graders. One new
bicycle and two gift baskets were awarded to the
winners of each group.
The four grand prize bicycle winners were
Truce Chouquer, age 3, Berlynn Stevens,4, Hector
Jackson, 6, and Wyatt Stevens, 10.
Many thanks to the Caliente Fire Department
and the local business donations used to purchase prizes. Prizes also included $75 in change
and over 1,000 eggs, colored by the youth at the
Caliente Youth Center. It was a fun-filled event for
local residents and their families.

Lincoln County graduate
wins WORCS off road race
By Rose Lanigan
Dirt bike racer Justin Wallis, a 2008 Graduate of Lincoln
County High School, won first
place at the WORCS Series
Race last weekend in Lake
Havasu, AZ.
Wallis, raised in Caliente, recently advanced from PRO II
to the PRO Class , after a great
2015 Season.
Wallis, 26, is a Sportsman Cycle/Beta support racer. He paid
tribute to his more than one
minute win to all of his sponsors, his Mechanic, Gary Smith
and his Beta 430 RR.
Wallis worked hard during
last years season and during
the off season to condition
himself mentally as well as
physically. His dedication to
self training , practice and preparing has obviously paid off
with a victory in this intense
course race.
Wallis said the race was “one
of the toughest, hottest and
most brutal courses in our line-
Janel Meldrum of Pahranagat Valley High School has
been elected vice president of
the state Future Farmers of
America Clubs in Nevada for
the 2016-2017 term. She was
chosen at the state FFA Convention March 22-26 in Reno at
UNR. Both Pahranagat Valley
and Lincoln County High clubs
attended with about 20 others
schools.
PVHS club advisor Cody
Sanders said the team took
21 members and competed in
seven contests including meat
evaluation and technology, flori
culture, dairy cattle evaluation,
milk quality and products,
horse evaluation, prepared
public speaking, job interview
and creed speaking.
Lincoln County High had 19
students participating and took
third place in Range Management and Utilization and Farm
Business Management.
Alamo’s Meat Evaluation
team of Laetitia Ray (second
high individual), Janel Meldrum, Culen Highbe and Cody
Stirling placed second in the
state in that particular contest.
“They worked really hard at
preparing for it,” Sanders said,
“but unfortunately just had a
bit of a rough day in the cooler,
and losing out to a team from
Wells.”
Meldrum made application
for a state office for the coming
year and went through a long
and rigorous process before
a select committee of various
chapter members. Eight candidates were selected to run for
six office positions. Sanders
said she had to go to multiple
interviews before both the full
selection committee and a few
smaller sub-committees. “They
have to prepare workshops and
give presentations all the while
being evaluated by the committees,” Sanders noted. “They had
to write a mock letter to a state
legislator editor talking about
a general agriculture topic,
and have it graded for content
and presentation, and give an
extemporaneous speech to the
committee.” He said the speech
topic this year was “Pollinators
and their use,” (bees, wasps,
things that pollinate others),
and why the practice was necessary.
Announcement of those selected for the various offices
was made public during the
Saturday morning final assembly session. The President was
from the Silver State chapter in
Spring Creek.
Meldrum is one of several
who have held FFA offices in
their time. Sanders himself
was vice-president when a student at PVHS in 2005-2006. His
sister Catelyn, was state president in 2011-2012.
Sanders explained Meldrum’s duties will involve
“helping to run the organization, go to a special training
session the week following the
Clark County Fair this month,
with the first big event being
the state leadership event at
Lake Tahoe in mid-June. She
will continue to be involved
with the FFA, even though she
might be attending college in
the fall and next year. “It’s a
very busy year for the state officers,” he said. “They devote a
lot of time while still keeping up
with college studies, if they go
on. But it is also very beneficial
for them. A lot of work, but like
everything else in life, you get
what you put into it.”
PVHS placing second in the
meat evaluation contest involved identifying different
cuts of meat from beef, pork
and lamb. Contestants must
identify 30 specific cuts, what
type it is, where on the animal
in comes from, what class it
should be in, what is the primal
cut, what is the retail cut, and
what the cooking method is.

This win also made history
for BETA Motorcycles as their
first WORCS Series Race vic-
tory ever.
His next WORCS Series Race
is April 17 at San Hollow State
Park in Hurricane, UT.

The group of 0-2 year olds and their parents show off their prizes after the annual Easter Egg Hunt in Pioche on Saturday.
Children enjoy Easter
activities in Pioche
By Sarah Somers
The Pioche Easter Egg Hunt is always
a wonderful representation of small
town quaintness. The annual event was
held Saturday morning. The Pioche Volunteer Fire Department has hosted the
it for over fifty years, and it has held fast
to many of the old-time traditions. The
department starts the week prior to the
hunt by driving around Pioche going
door to door for donations from the locals. Local children dye over 900 hard
boiled eggs at the fire station and the department hides them in the Pioche Elementary School yard along with plastic
eggs. One hour before the egg hunt, the
fire trucks drive through the entire town
picking up children from their homes to
take them to the hunt. This is the highlight for many of the kids.
The hunt is sectioned into age groups,
and the hours of hard work is over in
about one minute. Numbers are drawn,
matched to retrieved eggs, for prizes including bikes and Easter baskets. All of
Pioche kids ride in the fire truck
headed to Pioche Elementary for the
annual Easter Egg Hunt held Saturday
morning.
the prizes come from donations from
local households and businesses including Tilles, Nevada Bank and Trust, The
Overland Hotel and Saloon, The Silver
Cafe, Ghost Town Art and Coffee, The
Berean Baptist Church and the Episcopalian Church. John Stever, Fire Chief,
thanks everyone for the donations every
year and remarks the hunt would not be
possible without the generosity from the
community.
The Lincoln County High School
Theatre de Masque recently presented
the play “Seven Brides for Seven Brothers.”
Directed by Jacob Lester and C. Pete
Peterson, with choreography by Mindy
Anderson and Jessica Mathews, the five
night performance at the Neldon C. Mathews Center drew an average of attendance of 180.
Peterson called it a success. He added,
“Amber Brunjes, of Laughlin, Nevada,
said it was one of the best LCHS productions she has ever seen. Many commented positively on the effects, lighting, sound and especially the singing
and acting.
Leads in the production were Elizabeth Gloeckner, who played Milly,
and Nathanael Frehner, who played
Adam. Other cast members were Jana
Ahlstrom, Thalia Katschke, Asia Frehner, Laura Pearson, Abigail Loverme
and Haylee Zierow (The Brides); Tyler
Frehner, Haydon Showell, Derrek
Anderson, Carlin Christensen, Michael Winters, Lincoln Frehner (The
Brothers); Jesse Mathews, Derek Mathews, David Conahan, Cody Dirks,
Jon Cook, Hunter Blood (The Suiters);
Ally Wadsworth, Danielle Lister, Jack
Butler, Keara Barfield, and Jacques
Wadsworth.
Stage managers were Cherry Larounis
and Renee Palmer, and many others volunteered time to construct sets, do costumes, makeup, hair, sound, lights and
effects.
The next production will be “Rumpelstiltskin” April 18-23.
PVES holds
Easter egg hunt
LCR
Led by Amie Miller, the annual Easter
Egg Hunt in Alamo was once again a hit.
Children up through 5th grade and their
parents gathered at Pahranagat Valley
Elementary School Saturday morning
to hunt for eggs filled with candy. And
a few lucky kids picked up eggs holding
special tickets for bigger prizes.
The event is made possible by community donations of either candy or money,
and effort sends the local kids away with
plenty of sugar, and happy memories.

doing well in county

Workers from Pearson Brothers Construction poor cement footings for a new
wrought iron fence at the Alamo Annex. The new fence replaces the old rock
wall, built in 1959 by high school ag students.
Alamo Annex wall replaced
By Dave Maxwell
Something is gone from the Alamo
Annex building. The hand-made stone
wall on front of the building has been
removed and is being replaced by a cement footing and a wrought iron fence.
Pahranagat Valley Justice Court Judge
Nola Holton said she made the decision
to replace the rock wall. “The fence has
been crumbling and people have run
into in with their vehicles and knocked
pieces off, and it’s been falling apart and
looking somewhat trashy. And I decided
that we needed some upgrading. We
have been trying to make some improvements to the property to make it a little
more inviting for the community to use.”
Once the Pahranagat Valley High
School, built in 1937, former school Principal Carl Hastings said the wall was put
up in 1959. He said Dell Sullivan was the
ag teacher at the school then and used
the students from his class.
“It brings back some old memories,”
Sullivan said in a phone interview.
“There were six or seven boys in my
class and we decided to build the wall
just for something to do, and we thought
it would look good. We gathered up
stones from around the valley, brought
them to the site in pickup trucks, put up
the wall and also built a drinking fountain on the front walkway. Took us several months to complete.”
Pearson Brothers Construction is doing the work on the footings and new
fencing.
Holton said it is up to the Pahranagat
Valley Justice Court to do maintenance
of the property. “We get $10 off each citation that we put into a fund for upkeep
and upgrades on the property. After a
while, we might decide to do a particular project. The fence will be four feet
tall, and still have the open space for the
walkway.”
She said another project that is also
needed is replacing the tiles on the steps
in front of the glass double doors.
Fire Awareness Week begins
first week of May in Nevada
By Dave Maxwell
Fire Awareness Week in Nevada is
May 1-7 and Lincoln County Fire Chief
and Emergency Management Director
Rick Stever wants everyone to take note
of it.
Speaking at the county fire board
meeting March 21, Stever said all of the
counties in the state seem to be becoming more involved in the program, called
Living With Fire, and having different
things for their communities. He wondered what Lincoln County might do to
be more involved.
He said a website, www.LivingWithFire.com, is sponsored in part by the
University of Nevada, Reno Cooperative
Extension, helping Nevadans live more
safely with the threat of wildfires and
featuring a number of blogs and articles
on the subject.
Board members thought doing something similar to what was done about
three years ago in Pioche would be good
to do again, but no decision was made
on a specific date and place or what the
event might entail. He said he might do
some type of small event at the new Mt.
Wilson station and/or at the Eagle Val-

District might also be a good central location for an event. Panaca Fire Chief
Kerry Lee said he would be in support of
the event.
In other news, Stever said he learned
when attending the Wildfire Billing
Workshop in Carson City recently, the
Bureau of Land Management is considering the idea of splitting the cost of
wildland fires with those they help.
“For a long time,” he explained, “BLM
has covered all the costs of dealing with
wildfires, but now they are starting to pass
some of those costs onto the other fire districts and private individuals. It depends
how much fire is on public land and on
private land and who has jurisdiction.”
He said most counties are in favor of
the new philosophy of the BLM, is that if
a given fire district or individual ordered
a crew or equipment from the BLM to
come in to help fight a wildfire, that district or individual would pay the BLM
for the use. “If you order a helicopter or
a fire retardant drop, etc., then you are
responsible to pay for it.” He said most
of the counties statewide, including Lincoln, have already signed the agreement
with the BLM regarding the new policy.

What is the status of the University of
Nevada, Reno Cooperative Extension in
Lincoln County? Director Holly Gatzke
says it is doing well.
She gave an update at the County
Commission meeting March 21.
For the past 10 years she has been
working on trying to get a food industry going in the county where growers
and ranchers can supply fruits, vegetables and meats to some of the high end
restaurants and markets in the Vegas
area. “People are taking more note that
their health is dependent on what they
eat, and coupled with that, we have a
huge market there that we can serve.
We have even been working with Utah
State University on a few projects and
maybe could expand into Southern
Utah. Whatever works.”
In 2016 and beyond, Gatzke said she
wants to create a local food website blog
and move into the realm of social media. “The reality is that in the trainings
I have done I have worked with a lot of
people who have various connections
and having such on a website will give
people much quicker and easier access
to get whatever information they need.”
A virtual ranch model for Southern
Nevada was developed in 2015 which
Gatzke explained was a project from
Texas A&M University. Studies focused on what was the impact of an area
where there is so much federal land, like
Southern Nevada, and ranchers. She
said, “Now we have the model set up
and we can better judge what happens
under certain conditions, albeit laws
and restrictions, endangered species,
etc. Now we can be proactive and say if
this or that is done, the likely outcome
is this or that. The models can be a useful tool used to even make changes in
policies, regulations and planning and
measuring the economic impact. You
have real numbers, real arguments for
different things going on.”
She said these models are available for
any local ranchers who may like to see
them.
The Extension Workforce Program
this past year had 33 adults go through,
seven were employed after completing
occupational training, five obtained
commercial drivers licenses and two
became paralegals.
There were 38 at-risk youth she said,
13 achieved their high school equivalency, three were enrolled in occupational training, 14 received work experience and three were employed.
“We have also been told that our program will be fully funded in the coming
year,” she said, but mentioned as well
that they have been having some trouble with the recently unemployed, but
do have some funds to help with that
aspect of the program.
The 4-H program increased the number of clubs and leaders and kids participating in 2015. “We are on track now to
even do better in 2016,” she said. “I’m
excited that there is a passion among
some to keep helping the youth through
4-H.”
A local Lincoln County Extension
website/social media outlet is also being
planned Gatzke said, hopefully to start
in the very near future. “To let people
know what we are doing in all the areas
in which we work.”

Hage ranchers again plan
Supreme Court appeal
I
t is like fighting the Hydra, cut off
one head and two grow back.
But the federal government is
no myth. It is immortal. It has the
power to print money and hire an army
of attorneys whose job security depends
on ceaseless litigation with no risk to
themselves or their livelihoods.
The first generation of Hage family
ranchers has died off while fighting in
the courts for their rights, but the current generation vows to press on to the
U.S. Supreme Court.
In 1978, E. Wayne Hage bought the
Pine Creek Ranch near Tonopah. It
included 7,000 acres of private land and
grazing permits for 752,000 acres of federal public land, as well as water rights.
The very next year he clashed with the
Forest Service when it agreed to a plan
to stock elk on Table Mountain.
Hage complained that the elk would
drink his water and eat his grass.
According to court records, the
relationship between the rancher and
federal land agents deteriorated from
there.
“In 1983, Plaintiffs received 40 letters
from the Forest Service charging them
with various violations,” wrote U.S.
Court of Federal Claims Judge Loren
Smith in 2008. “In the same year, the
Forest Service paid 70 visits to Plaintiffs. Following the 40 letters and 70
visits, the Forest Service filed 22 charges
against Plaintiffs. Many of these complaints cited issues of fence maintenance, some of them extremely minor
infractions. (One was a loose staple in
a fence post.) In addition, the Forest
Service insisted that Plaintiffs maintain
their 1866 Act ditches with nothing
other than hand tools.”
Judge Smith — citing the Fifth Amendment prohibition against “taking” private property without just compensation
— awarded the Hage estate $4,220,431.20,
plus interest and attorney’s fees and
costs. The total has long since topped
$14 million, but the Hages have not seen
a dime as various appeals courts have
ducked and remanded and dismissed.
Though turned down once by the
Supreme Court, Hage’s son Wayne
N. Hage and daughter Ramona Hage
Morrison say they plan to appeal one of
their cases to the high court.
The latest litigation setback came in
January when the 9th U.S. Circuit Court
of Appeals tossed out a Nevada federal
judge’s ruling in their favor. In a 104-page
opinion Judge Robert Jones accused
government officials of entering into “a
literal, intentional conspiracy to deprive
the Hages not only of their permits but
also of their vested water rights. This
behavior shocks the conscience …”
The appeals court accused Judge

Commentary
Jones of being biased against the federal
land agents and took him off the case,
even though Judge Smith had reached
similar conclusions about the conduct
of the federal agents, calling their behavior harassment and hostility.
“First, Plaintiffs had a significant
investment-backed expectation in the
ditches, as these were the primary
means for conveyance of water for
irrigating the Ranch. The ditches were
rights purchased along with the Ranch,”
Judge Smith wrote. “Second, Plaintiffs
offered ample evidence that the Forest
Service had engaged in harassment towards Plaintiffs, enough to suggest that
the implementation of the hand tools requirement was based solely on hostility
to Plaintiffs. Third, the economic impact
of this regulation was considerable; it
would have been economically impractical for Plaintiffs to hire enough men with
hand tools to perform any sort of substantial work clearing the ditches.”
Judge Smith ruled the Hage ranch
had a right to access its vested water
rights, but the 9th Circuit basically
ruled the ranch had no right to let cattle
graze while getting to that water.
According to a Hage family press
release posted by Range magazine, the
family sees the conflict in rulings as
something the Supreme Court needs to
resolve.
“It is only the Ninth Circuit threejudge panel, after a 45 minute hearing,
which determined that they are better
arbiters of the truth than the two judges
from two separate federal courts who
actually saw the evidence and heard
witnesses testify over a combined period
of 43 trial days,” the press release states.
“The Ninth Circuit panel, in reaching
their desired outcome in U.S. v. Hage
has managed to significantly diminish
western water law and the laws governing rights of ways for roads, ditches and
canals across federally administered
lands, leaving the Hages no choice but to
seek relief at the U.S. Supreme Court.”
The Hages are asking for donations
to help defray the cost of continued
litigation.

editorial
Supreme Court should quickly reject
education savings account law challenge
I
n January District Judge James
Wilson of Carson City issued an injunction blocking enactment of the
Education Savings Accounts (ESA)
approved by lawmakers in Senate Bill
302, saying it violated Article 11, Section
6.2 of the state Constitution.
Shortly thereafter Attorney General
Adam Laxalt filed a 62-page brief arguing to the state Supreme Court that the
injunction should be lifted and the law
enacted as written.
In a press release, Laxalt said, “This
injunction has disrupted more than
4,000 Nevada families who hoped to
benefit from this innovative program.
While I believe the harm cited by the
plaintiffs is pure conjecture at best, my
office continues to work diligently to get
a final answer on the constitutionality
of ESAs as quickly and efficiently as
possible.”
The gist of the attorney general’s argument is the same as made editorially by
this newspaper in mid-January.
While the judge ruled that money set
aside for public schools funding may
not be used for any other purpose, this
ignores the fact the state Constitution
says lawmakers are to fund public
schools “for the population reasonably
estimated …”
The Legislature set statewide per
pupil funding at $5,710 per pupil in the
Distributive School Account (DSA).
The ESA bill dictated that most parents
who pull their children from public
school would be given 90 percent of that
amount to fund education by whatever
means they choose — private school, tutoring, homeschooling — thus reducing
the population and the needed funding.
“Section 6 imposes three clear and
specific duties on the Legislature
concerning the funding of the public
schools — and the Legislature clearly
satisfied all three and SB 302 violates
none,” the brief explains.
First, lawmakers appropriated money
for public schools on a per pupil basis
and put $2 billion in general funds into
the DSA to cover both the state’s public
schools funding and the ESA program.
Next, as required by a 2006 constitutional amendment, lawmakers funded
education first with Senate Bill 515 and
at a level that meets the constitutional
requirement that “the Legislature shall
enact one or more appropriations to
provide the money the Legislature
deems to be sufficient.”
The brief makes it clear the lawmakers
deemed sufficient a per pupil funding
level of $5,710 on average across the state
and the same lawmakers said parents
could tap a savings account amounting
to 90 percent of that per pupil amount
from the same state appropriation for
the purpose of educating the public’s
children somewhere other than a public
school.
This counters Judge Wilson’s claim
that the $2 billion DSA was inviolate
and could not be tapped for any purpose
other than funding public schools, even
though the funding was based on a per
pupil basis as are the ESAs.
The attorney general’s brief pointed
out repeatedly that the state Constitution merely requires public schools to be
funded at a level the “Legislature deems
to be sufficient,” and the law funding
public schools was passed three days
after the ESA law; therefore, lawmakers
deemed that amount sufficient.
How are parents of public school
children harmed if their schools get 10
percent of the funding for pupils who
are not in their public school population?
Additionally, public school districts keep
local and federal funding. Seems like a
benefit more than an irreparable harm to
the parents of public school children.
Tamerlin Godley, an attorney for
parents challenging the ESA law, was
quoted in the press as saying the Constitution creates a “lock box” on public
schools funds and the money must be
used solely at public schools. That is
basically what the district judge ruled,
though no one cites specifically where
that “lock box” language resides in the

Centennial Spring Jamboree

The Lincoln County High School softball team competed at the
Centennial Spring Jamboree in Las Vegas Thursday through Saturday last week.
The team went up against some tough competition, losing four
games and winning one. On Thursday the Lady Lynx lost to Southwest (Calif.) 11-0 and to Basic 8-4. On Friday, the team went up against
Garfield (Calif.), losing 6-2, and defeated Poly (Calif.) 5-2.
During the final game of the tournament, Lincoln lost to Bell 7-5.
Lincoln had a Tuesday (March 29) doubleheader scheduled against
Mountain View in Panaca, but it was cancelled due to weather. The
games will be rescheduled later in the season.
The Lady Lynx are now 6-7 overall and 2-0 in league play. The team
is at Agassi Prep (1-5-0, 0-4-0) for a doubleheader today starting at 1
p.m. in Las Vegas.

Lady Panthers set for California trip
By Dave Maxwell
This weekend, for the first time, the
Pahranagat Valley High School softball
team will play softball on the California
coast.
Up until now, the Panthers have usually played out-of-state normally in Arizona with Southern league member
Beaver Dam, and once at a pre-season
tournament in Needles Calif. in 2004.
However, this weekend they have a
single game today at Carpinteria High,
then a double-header at Channel Islands
High in Ventura against Channel Island
(4-6) and Foothill Tech (3-7).
Coach Mike Sparrow said the opportunity came last fall when the Panther
football team played Thacher Academy
in Ojai, Calif.. There PVHS athletic director Brad Loveday got to talking with
a man from Cate School in Ventura, who
was scouting the Thacher football team,
and discussed the possibility of playing
baseball with Loveday’s baseball team
in the spring.
Sparrow said he later got a call from Cate
School about arranging a softball game,
which he agreed to do. In the meantime,
he also contacted Carpinteria about playing softball with them the same weekend

make the tag at third base in a recent
game. Pahranagat Valley beat Moapa
Valley 12-4 on Tuesday and is now on
a weekend road trip for a three game
set on the California coast.
and arranged dates in early April.
Sometime later however, Sparrow said
the Cate School called and cancelled the
game because of not being able to field a
team this year. So he scheduled another
game with Carpinteria High the same
weekend, and later was able to add
games with Channel Islands and Foothill Tech teams that had been on the
Cate School schedule.
Sparrow said he plans to take the kids
to visit the beach near Ventura, and perhaps Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles, which is within sight of the famous
Hollywood sign, and not far from the
Rose Bowl stadium. However, since the
games are on the coast, he doubted the
team would do anything more than visit
the observatory. “It will make a nice trip
for the kids,” he said.
The next home game is April 5 with
Virgin Valley and the first home league
game is a two-game set with Sandy Valley in Alamo April 14.
On Tuesday this week, in Alamo, Ashlyn Wadsworth tossed a five-hitter with
seven strikeouts as the Panthers scored
in every inning except one to defeated
the Moapa Valley Pirates 12-4
Madison Harris was 3-for-5 with an
RBI for Pahranagat Valley (4-2), which
got two RBIs apiece from Madalyn Taylor and Allyse Frehner.
Aria Messer had a two-run single for
Moapa Valley (7-7) in the only meeting of
the teams this season.

Lincoln baseball faces Agassi Prep in Las Vegas today
LCR
The Lincoln County High School
baseball team has been idle since splitting a pair of games at home against
Moapa Valley on March 21. The Lynx
had a Tuesday (March 29) doubleheader
scheduled against Mountain View in
Panaca, but it was cancelled due to
weather. The games will be rescheduled
later in the season.
Lincoln sits at 3-5 overall and 2-0 in
league play. The team is at Agassi Prep
(0-5-0, 0-2-0) for a doubleheader today
starting at 1 p.m. in Las Vegas.
At the poker table three aces is a pretty
good hand. It’s not too bad on the baseball field either for the Pahranagat Valley Panthers who have three brothers
on the team. Call it Maxwell House with
junior Tabor, sophomore Brodey and
freshman Stockton.
PVHS is not unaccustomed to having at least two members from the same
family playing at the same time in a given
sport. For example, the Higbee family
with sisters, brothers and/or cousins at
times in the past easily come to mind,
along with a few other families.
At one stretch, 1994-2009, Ed and Kris
Higbee, had a least one son or daughter
on the varsity teams. And now it’s the
turn of the Maxwell brothers.
Pahranagat took a non-league doubleheader from Mineral County in Hawthorne last Friday by double digit scores.
The first was 16-1 in five innings.
PVHS scored eight runs in the third on
an RBI single by Stockton Maxwell, a
walk by Cody Stirling, a sacrifice fly by
Brandon Burris, a two-run double by
Tabor Maxwell, and a three-run home
run by Christian Higbee.
Higbee racked up three RBIs on two
hits for the Panthers.
Tabor Maxwell racked up 10 strikeouts in the Panthers win, allowing no
earned runs, two hits and no walks over
five innings.
Mineral County starting pitcher Daniel Owens took the loss. He allowed nine
runs in 2 2/3 innings, walked seven and
struck out three.
The top of the first saw the Panthers
take an early lead, 1-0. They added three
more runs in the top of the fourth. A
passed ball scored Tyson Jorgensen to
get the team on the board in the inning.
They increased their lead to 16-1 with
four runs in the fifth inning. A clutch
run from Brendan Stewart opened the
scoring in the frame. That was followed
up by Burris’ single, bringing home
Brodey Maxwell.
In the second game, both teams lit up
the scoreboard as they combined for 26
runs. In the end, Panthers won the offensive battle 18-8 in six innings.
The teams totaled 17 hits in the game.
After seven lead changes in the first
five innings, the Panther bats became a
raging fire in the sixth inning leading to
11 runs. The first came on a wild pitch,
then a single by Higbee, a wild pitch, a
fielder’s choice, a third wild pitch, Ike
Taylor getting hit by a pitch twice, an
RBI single by Tabor Maxwell, a passed
ball, an error, and a two-run single by
Duston Stewart.
Just a bit earlier though, trailing 7-1,
Mineral County came up with five hits
to score seven runs in the bottom of the
fourth inning to take an 8-7 lead.
Brandon Burris got the win in relief
for the Panthers (6-2), going 2 1/3 innings
and allowing no runs.

Food and Nutrition:
Health and your potential Winter sledding in Pioche
lincoln county history
By Dave Maxwell
By Molly Roemer
You have an astounding amount of
potential within you. Although only a
piece of the whole, your physical health
can play an important role in helping
you to achieve that potential.
My objective today is to inspire you to
find your untapped potential through
practicing good health habits. Although
health is not attached to worth, good
physical health habits can enable you
to more fully realize your worth. When
you feel good, you are more likely and
able to develop talents, serve others and
even do more of the things you know
you already enjoy.
Some are born with conditions or ailments due to genetics, age, injury and
other factors. Everyone is different and
has varying needs. However, most can
make some sort of change in order to
attain better health. Allow your physical health development to be enabling,
rather than permitting it to hold you
back or be something to feel guilty about.
Implementing better health habits can
give you more control over your body,
reduce stress, increase function and efficiency of your organs, contribute to a
better appearance, reduce your risk of
health problems and much more. Over
time, the benefits to implementing good
health habits will far outweigh any apprehension to making changes—you just
need to be consistent and give it time.
Make a change to your lifestyle. You
can do hard things! Reach for goals that
can enable you to get a better glimpse of
the potential you possess. Here are some
practical ideas to get you started:
For each meal, try making half of your
plate fruits and vegetables. Not only are they full of good nutrition, but they
also generally have few calories and lots
of fiber to keep you full longer. Reach for
a variety of colorful options. Try preparing a fruit or vegetable you have not

Commentary
eaten before. You will be surprised at the
options available to you.
Replace sugary drinks with water. A
lot of calories are consumed in a short
amount of time by drinking soda and
juices. Not only can this contribute to
weight gain, but it may also increase
your risk for atherosclerosis, high blood
pressure, heart disease and diabetes.
Be moderate in your consumption and
reach for water more often.
Plan your meals and snacks. Take the
time to plan your meals once a week, or
for whatever time frame that works best
for you. Doing this will increase your
chances of eating well because you will
not be driven by hunger. You have to eat,
so by planning you greatly increase your
chances of making smarter choices.
Be more active. Start small and build
up more endurance. Find activities
you enjoy doing and do not be afraid to
try something new. Some possibilities
might be gardening, playing sports,
riding a bike, dancing, or washing your
car. Be creative. Instead of driving somewhere, walk! Write your goals down and put them
somewhere where you will see them.
Talk to someone about your goals. You
are far more likely to achieve them if you
do so.

Winter sledding has been popular for
a long time, even back into ancient times
in some climates with snowy weather,
and back in the early days of the Great
Depression around Pioche, Nevada, 1931
for example, it was just as popular as it
ever was, maybe even more so.
The late Judge Roscoe Wilkes relates
a story from his own youth in Pioche in
his book High Desert Tales.
“There were gathered about 100
yards below the (aerial) tramway on
the road above town, about eight of the
town boys, ages 10-15 and each with a
sled of his own and ready to go. It was
mid-winter at about 7 p.m. It was clear
and cold.”
No daylight savings time back then, so
night time had already fallen, but that
did not deter the boys one bit. They had
done this before, numerous times, and
they were going to do it again.
“One at a time,” Wilkes recalls, “each
one taking maybe three steps then plunk
down on the sled on the road with the
owner on top and each hand grabbing
an end of the guiding cross-bar.”
The hill is steep there, so they were
picking up some speed, but not as steep
as it was going to get, and as the sled
approached the turn at the top of Main
Street, it got going along nicely on the
hard pack snow.
Now the fun began. It’s a much steeper
grade after that turn down through the
town’s main business district. Today
tourists walk or drive up and down the
hill looking at the old buildings, most
closed now, a reminder of what the town
was in yesteryear, and never knowing
what used to take place there on some
winter evenings after school in the early
days of the 1930s.
Whisking past at great speed down
the street the sled and rider went over
a little bump at the intersection (that
goes to Meadow Valley Street or Lacour Street), and were soon past the
Thompson Opera House and the Gem
Theatre.
Some sleds were fast enough to catch
up to the others, because there wasn’t
really much in the way of a staggered
start at the top.
Coming up next was the elementary
school at the lower end of town. Then it
was full speed ahead, on past the property where the Lincoln County Courthouse now stands, (it wasn’t there until

outcome for our team,” Sanders said.
“We believed we would do well and were
hoping for first place, but second place
will likely qualify the team to go back to
the FFA National Convention in Indianapolis late next October.”
The team of Laetitia Ray, Maggie
Rasmussen, Zoe Jewett, and Brook
Higbee also placed second in flori culture which Sanders said is more on
the science of flowers rather than just

1938), and get ready for the somewhat
sharp right turn onto the rest of Main
Street that leads past the LDS church today to the intersection with U.S. 93.
Did they plan to stop right there? Not
on your life, Wilkes notes. It was hellbent-for-leather across the highway
onto State Route 322 on the way to Eagle Valley and down toward where the
present day Lincoln County Detention
Center is located.
What awaited them when they
reached the highway intersection in
those days nobody knew, the only
thought might have been, “I hope no one
is coming when I get there!”
Flying at high speed safely through the
intersection onto SR 322 was when the
brakes were applied. More accurately,
brakes in the form of the rider’s shoes
that dug into the softer snow alongside
the road which brought to sled to a stop
without tremendous effort. A successful
run! O, the joy!
The only thing that remained now,
recalls Wilkes, was to drag the sled
back to the starting point and do it all
over again. An arduous task, and not
much fun on a cold night. Plus, the
folks might be demanding you back
home right away. The amount of time
needed to make another run was likely
going to be too much.
Enter now a solution. Bill Lloyd, the
uncle of a man (born a few years later)
with the same name who later was the
longtime County Assessor and County
Commission member. He had a Model
A Ford Coupe with two small chrome
bumpers front and rear. Wilkes doesn’t
say if the car had a rumble seat. It may
have, some did. “Lloyd was a real
nice young man who had heart and a
thoughtfulness for the younger boys of
the town. When Bill appeared with his
tires appropriately chained up, a boy
would promptly tie his sled to the rear
bumper. Another would tie his sled to
the one in front until there were two
rows, about four long. Then up the hill
they would go (in Lloyd’s car), back to
the starting point for another run.”
Lloyd would come down behind the
last sled, and this arrangement allowed
for several runs in one evening. Without
him, and there were times when he was
not available, it would maybe be just two
runs.
Were there accidents? Yes, Wilkes
notes, sadly even a death one time, but
that is a story for another time.
the arrangement. He said, “There are
40 items that have to be identified…
different cut flowers, potted flowers,
different greens to be used in an arrangement as well as tools that are
commonly used in the industry. They
also had to make a table display of an
arrangement and attempt to sell it oneon-one to a customer.”
The dairy evaluation team placed third
in state.
Sanders said he was very pleased with
the team’s showing. “It’s really good to
see when the kids work hard and put in
the effort you asked them to they get the
reward.”
