cOVER STORy

As area dries out, another round of storms loomBy Kayla AndersonSparks Tribune

Sparks and much of Northern Nevada were hit with the storm of the decade last week after a series of storms caused the Truckee River to crest in some areas of town. Torrential rains and snow blanketed the Reno/Sparks area causing mas-sive flooding throughout the streets and a fast-flowing river. People were encour-

aged to stay inside and off of bridges as the water levels rose at an alarming rate.

On Jan. 6, a State of Emer-gency was declared in prepa-ration of flooding. Although flooding subsided, high winds and snow created an additional risk of falling trees. On Jan. 8, Washoe County officials held an Emergency Operations Cen-ter Briefing warning people of the intense rain, excess runoff, and full force gales.

“We are seeing a signifi-cant rise in the river, eleva-tion and flow,” said Sparks Police Officer Ken Gallop.

Small steam flooding was reported around Washoe County in Vista, Galena Creek, the North Truckee Drain area, and more. The Reno Fire Department and Washoe County Health De-partment advised people to stay away from the river and to not drive or walk through standing water as open

manholes could be pushing out sewage contaminants.

Meanwhile, up in the Sier-ras, Lake Tahoe folks found themselves in a days-long blizzard which dropped over 10 feet of snow. Most residences around the lake didn’t have electricity rang-ing anywhere from a cou-ple of hours up to five days. All major highways and roads were closed due to

Reno police: Man aRRested in fatal shooting in hotel RooM

RENO — Reno police say a local man has been arrested in the appar-ently accidental shooting of another man in a hotel room.

Police say detectives determined that 23-yar-old Deandre Richie was handing the firearm early Saturday morning when it discharged, fatally wounding the victim in the chest.

Police also say that although there was no altercation or malicious intent by Richie to shoot the victim, he was arrested on suspicion of involuntary manslaughter as well as possession of a stolen firearm and carrying a concealed weapon.

Richie remains jailed and it’s not immediately known whether he has an attorney who could comment on the allegations.

The victim’s identity was not re-leased.

Judge claRifies oRdeR in challenge to school choice pRogRaM

LAS VEGAS — A Nevada judge has revised a previous order in a legal challenge to the state’s voucher-style Education Savings Account program to allow the treasurer’s office to con-tinue to accept applications.

The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports that District Judge James Wilson’s order more closely aligns a previous injunction with a state Su-preme Court decision that found only the program’s funding source uncon-stitutional.

Wilson’s latest order grants a mo-tion by Attorney General Adam Paul Laxalt, who says the program can be fully implemented once the funding

issue is resolved.The state Supreme Court in Sep-

tember upheld some major parts of the program but ruled that the pro-gram’s funding mechanism should remain blocked.

Gov. Brian Sandoval has said he plans to include a funding source for the accounts in his proposed budget.

national fRateRnity dRops nevada chapteR afteR teen’s death

RENO — A national fraternity has revoked the charter of its chapter at the University of Nevada, Reno, where campus officials probed sus-pected alcohol and marijuana use and topless dancers at an event where a college freshman fell down a stairway and died.

Sigma Nu executive Brad Beacham said Thursday an investigation by the Lexington, Virginia-based fraternity found violations of alcohol and haz-ing policies relating to the October death of 18-year-old Ryan Abele of Concord, California.

“In keeping with our mission of de-veloping ethical leaders for society, Sigma Nu Fraternity will not tolerate such violations of its law, policies and principles,” Beacham said in a state-ment.

The national organization is work-ing with UNR officials to finalize a 15-year suspension imposed for violat-ing school conduct codes and alcohol policy, Beacham said in an email. The chapter had planned to appeal the suspension.

In addition to underage drinking, the Office of Student Conduct probe turned up reports of marijuana use and topless dancers at an Oct. 16 fra-ternity house pledging event at which Abele was injured falling down a stairway.

The graduate of De La Salle High School in Concord died 12 days later, af-ter a main artery in his brain ruptured.

Campus police declined to seek criminal charges. School Police Chief Adam Garcia said in December the investigation didn’t support proba-ble cause findings of felony or misde-meanor conduct.

The fraternity was founded in 1869 at the Virginia Military Institute. It counts 235,000 members over the years at 165 chapters and colonies.

nevada woMan sentenced to 20 yeaRs foR dui cRash

RENO — A Northern Nevada woman has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for driving under the influence and severely injuring two people in a 2014 crash.

Nicole Cote of Sun Valley was sen-tenced Tuesday in Washoe County District Court and will serve a min-imum of five years in prison before becoming eligible to parole.

The Washoe County District Attor-ney’s Offices says the driver of the ve-hicle Cote hit had seven broken ribs, three broken vertebrae, a lacerated kidney and a punctured lung, and his passenger had a traumatic brain injury that put him in a month-long coma.

Prosecutors say the 24-year-old showed little remorse for the Decem-ber 2014 crash and expressed concern about her new car when she called 911 after the wreck.

nevada casinos tuRn pRofit in fiscal 2016; fiRst since 2008

LAS VEGAS — Nevada’s biggest casinos combined to turn a profit in fiscal 2016 for the first time in eight years, but it wasn’t due to gambling winnings, according to an annual re-port by state regulators.

Room rentals and fees helped re-sorts generate income of almost $979 million from total revenues of $25.2 billion in the year ended last June 30, the state Gaming Control Board said.

That compared with a net loss of almost $662 million on revenues of $24.6 billion a year earlier.

Casinos across the state recorded net income for the first time since fis-cal 2008, board analyst Michael Law-ton said Thursday, amid a trend that continues to tilt away from gambling and toward restaurant, retail, enter-tainment and room rental business.

“It’s been a long road to get back in the black,” Lawton said. “It’s good not only because it’s net income for the first time, but because it’s net income in all areas across the board.”

The revenue figure came in just 0.1 percent below the record $25.3 billion in total recorded in fiscal 2007, Law-ton added.

The comprehensive annual report, dubbed the Gaming Abstract, was made public Wednesday. It includes more than 200 pages of data about 273 casinos in the state that grossed $1 million or more in gambling reve-nues. Topics include number of em-ployees, room occupancy rates and gambling revenue per square foot of casino space.

The report found that 70 casinos owned by public companies state-wide accounted for 78 percent of the total.

The report came amid reports of growth from Las Vegas tourism and airport officials.

McCarran International Airport was on pace in December to top the record 45 million passengers han-dled in 2015. The Las Vegas Conven-tion and Visitors Authority reported a record number of tourists, 42.9 mil-lion, in 2016.

avalanches and mudslides, snowplows were working overtime, and people were generally advised to stay in-side due to imminent danger.

Surprisingly, everything turned out to be okay in the Sparks region, considering the potential damages that the storm could’ve caused. Al-though REMSA performed several rescues, there were no reports of flood-related in-juries in the area. The Sparks industrial area closed on Jan. 8 due to 1-2 feet of standing water, but businesses seemed pretty well prepared.

“We weren’t affected at all; everyone did a pretty good job of protecting themselves,” said a representative from Stanley Steemer, located on 740 Freeport Boulevard.

“We prepared for it and are fortunately in a high spot so there was no damage. We did drive through 1-2 feet of water to get to there, but no water

got inside,” said Max Smith of Moment Skis, a snow ski factory located on 1060 Mari-etta Way.

“Reasonableness has really prevailed in this flood, this was a perfect example of pre-paredness and good commu-nication,” says Sparks Police Officer Ken Gallop.

However, the Northern Nevada region should still stay on-guard as another storm system may be coming through in the next day or so. According to the National Weather Service, residents should expect to see a return of active weather pushing through the region coming in via increasing winds on Wednesday afternoon/eve-ning.

This next storm is expected to be drier with a foot of snow possible in higher elevations and snow levels dropping to the valley floors by Thursday. Although no flood warnings are forecasted, the NWS advises those with travel plans to closely monitor the weather in the upcoming week.

I-80 laNE clOSuRES cONTINuE IN RENO fOR STORM REPaIRS

Associated Press

RENO — The flooding and snowstorms that battered north-ern Nevada last week have taken a toll on U.S. Interstate 80 in the Reno area.

The Nevada Department of Transportation says I-80 travel-ers should expect delays this week on the west side of town as crews work to repair potholes from the Keystone exit on the edge of downtown all the way to the California state line.

West-bound travel was reduced to one lane during emer-gency road work on Sunday.

The DOT says single-lane closures will continue at times in both directions. Speeds will be reduced to 55 mph and no passing will be allowed.

Laxalt has $1.5M in campaign cash for possible governor bidBy Scott SonnerAssociated Press

RENO — One of the leading Nevada Repub-licans considering running for governor next year is showing off a sizeable campaign war chest nearly two years before the 2018 election.

Attorney General Adam Laxalt filed an annual campaign contribution report Mon-day that shows he raised nearly $1.2 million in 2016 — all but about $100,000 of that be-tween Oct. 15 and the end of December. Com-bined with money left over from 2015, that gives him a record $1.5 million cash-on-hand entering 2017.

His campaign adviser, Robert Uithoven, told reporters on a conference call Mon-day that Laxalt hasn’t decided yet whether to enter the race to replace GOP Gov. Brian Sandoval, who will be forced to step down because of term limits.

But he said there’s no question Laxalt has the ability to raise the amount of money nec-essary to win the race, noting his aggressive fundraising push at the end of last year was done “without a declared candidacy or fully active campaign staff.”

“If there is a better fundraiser in the field, I don’t know who it is,” Uithoven said.

Laxalt, the grandson of former U.S. Sen. and Nevada Gov. Paul Laxalt, can use the money for a run for governor or re-election as attorney general.

Two Republicans who had been consid-ered among the potential front-runners for the GOP’s 2018 gubernatorial nomination announced in recent weeks they will not make the race — Lt. Gov. Mark Hutchison and U.S. Sen. Dean Heller. Heller said he plans to run for re-election to the Senate.

Uithoven said 70 percent of Laxalt’s fund-raising total has come from Nevadans. He said it’s the “largest amount of contributions ever reported by a Republican two years out from the election.”

Uithoven is a longtime GOP strategist who worked as press secretary for former Gov. Jim Gibbons, both as governor from 2006 to 2010 and earlier as congressman.

When Gibbons announced his gubernato-rial candidacy in August 2005, he had “sev-eral hundred thousand dollars” in his con-gressional campaign available to spend on the run for governor, Uithoven said.

“But he certainly didn’t have a seven-figure amount to roll-over at a time he could roll fed-eral money into a state race,” he said. He said Sandoval was a federal judge before he ran for governor, so he didn’t have any federal money available to devote to a statewide race.

No Democrat has announced plans to run for governor. Possible candidates include U.S. Rep Dina Titus, Clark County Commis-sioner Steve Sisolak, state Senate Majority Leader Aaron Ford and state Sen. Tick Seg-erblom.

Driverless electric shuttle being tested in downtown VegasBy Ken RitterAssociated Press

LAS VEGAS — There’s a new thrill on the streets of downtown Las Vegas, where high- and low-rollers alike are climbing aboard what officials call the first driverless electric shuttle operating on a public U.S. street.

The oval-shaped shuttle began running Tuesday as part of a 10-day pilot program, carrying up to 12 passengers for free along a short stretch of the Fremont Street East en-tertainment district.

The vehicle has a human attendant and computer monitor, but no steering wheel and no brake pedals. Passengers push a but-ton at a marked stop to board it.

The shuttle uses GPS, electronic curb sen-sors and other technology, and doesn’t re-quire lane lines to make its way.

“The ride was smooth. It’s clean and quiet and seats comfortably,” said Mayor Carolyn Goodman, who was among the first public of-ficials to hop a ride on the vehicle developed by the French company Navya and dubbed Arma.

“I see a huge future for it once they get the technology synchronized,” the mayor said Friday.

The vehicles have a range of about 90 miles for each electric charge and take about five to eight hours to recharge.

The top speed of the shuttle is 25 mph, but it’s running about 15 mph during the trial, Navya spokesman Martin Higgins said.

Side streets have been blocked to make a dedicated lane for it to pass traffic signals

during the trial.Higgins called it “100 percent autonomous

on a programmed route.”“If a person or a dog were to run in front of

it, it would stop,” he said.Higgins said it’s the company’s first test

of the shuttle on a public street in the U.S. A similar shuttle began testing in December at a simulated city environment at a University of Michigan research center.

The vehicle being used in public was shown earlier at the giant CES gadget show just off the Las Vegas Strip.

Las Vegas city community development chief Jorge Cervantes said plans call for in-stalling transmitters at the Fremont Street intersections to communicate red-light and green-light status to the shuttle.

He said the city hopes to deploy several au-tonomous shuttle vehicles — by Navya or an-other company — later this year for a down-town loop with stops at shopping spots, restaurants, performance venues, museums, a hospital and City Hall.

At a cost estimated at $10,000 a month, Cervantes said the vehicle could be cost-effi-cient compared with a single bus and driver costing perhaps $1 million a year.

He said partnerships with businesses near stops and advertising to passers-by and pas-sengers might defray some of the cost and keep rider fares low or even free.

The company said it has shuttles in use in France, Australia, Switzerland and other countries that have carried more than 100,000 passengers in more than a year of service.

Legalization of marijuana doesn’t change DUI lawBy Kayla AndersonSparks Tribune

Last November, Washoe County residents were asked to vote on the statewide Mea-sure 2- allowing people 21 and older to manufacture, possess, transport, and con-sume marijuana. Passing in a 54.47 percent vote, it is now legal to possess up to an ounce of marijuana or up to an eighth of an ounce of cannabis concentrate.

Now that the measure has passed, Nevada’s Depart-ment of Taxation and legis-lature have until January of next year to create and adopt regulations surrounding the law. The regulations regard-ing marijuana will cover li-censing qualifications and processes, security mea-sures, and product testing/packing along with tax col-lections and record-keeping.

Some may have wondered if anything has changed with the passing of Measure 2 and it becoming legalized Janu-ary 1, but it hasn’t seemed to have much of an impact so far (except in the stock mar-ket). Owning and operating marijuana retail stores are legal, but a store is still not allowed within 1,000 feet of a school.

Currently each county in Nevada can limit the number of licenses issued; in Washoe County there is a limit of 12 dispensaries that can be in the area- half in incor-porated regions and half in unincorporated areas. Since marijuana has been legal in Nevada for medical use, at least five dispensaries have opened in Washoe County within the past year.

Washoe County Media and Communications Special-ist Chris Ciarlo says that no applications regarding rec-reational marijuana dispen-saries have come through nor can they since the county

is not at that stage in the reg-ulations process. The state has not yet announced when it will open the licensing pe-riod to potential marijuana retail store owners, but it has until January 1, 2018 to estab-lish those rules.

Businesses that already have medical marijuana dis-pensaries are in a better po-sition to convert their med-ical dispensaries into retail stores though as they will have 18 months to submit their applications for recre-ational use once the program opens. The earliest new re-tail marijuana store owners are expected to be able to ap-ply for a recreational license is June 2019.

For marijuana consumers, criminal penalties still apply to people under the influence of marijuana while driving and if people under 21 are in possession of it. Being high while driving is still a crime and the marijuana DUI law is not affected with Measure 2’s passing. It is still illegal to drive with 10 nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL) of mari-juana is one’s system (or 15 ng/mL of marijuana metab-olite) or have a blood level of 2 ng/mL of marijuana (5 ng/mL of metabolite).

“The DUI law hasn’t changed, it’s still illegal to drive with marijuana in your system,” says Sparks Po-lice Officer Ken Gallop. “We haven’t seen any increase of people driving around smoking marijuana, there hasn’t been any change.”

WINTER RECREATION | SNOWBOARDING & SNOWMOBILING

Reno Sparks Scheels | 1200 Scheels Dr, Sparks NV 89434 | 775-331-2700 facebook.com/sparksscheels

No matter which way you lean on the

argument, we can all agree that both

activities are as exciting as they are great

for your health. Check out the websites of organi-

zations like the National Ski Council Federation

(http://skifederation.org)to search for and find

the top ski and snowboarding resorts in our area.

SKIING Until you ascend slowly up the chair lift and

take in the sights of the powdery white ground

and the deep blue sky, you can’t truly understand

the thrill of skiing. The sport can be picked up

quickly by beginners and mastered over many

years of practice.

There are many types of skiing styles for ath-

letes of all skill levels to enjoy. Alpine skiing takes

place on steep hills, while cross-country skiing

and freestyle also have gained popularity. Most

resorts feature a beginner’s trail for new skiers to

hone their skills before taking to the mountain.

SNOWBOARDING Snowboarding’s main differentiator from

skiing is the fact that riders do not use poles

to keep their balance but rather strategically

shift their weight. Snowboarders also

frequently have to take a seated position

or put forth energy to maintain momentum.

Snowboarding was recognized as a Winter

Olympic sport in 1998.

It has rapidly grown in popularity due to its

skateboarding and surfing techniques,

as well as recognizable athletes like Shaun

White, who have advanced the sport to

new heights.

RULER OF THE SLOPES?A recent Florida State University study

reported that both skiers and snowboarders

benefitted emotionally and physically from

their activities but that skiers rated their own

level of pleasure around five times higher

than those who primarily snowboard.

Passionate snowboarders may not agree

with these results, but both sides approve of

the benefit of barreling down a snowy hill

on a cold winter day.

One of the best cold-

weather pastimes for

beginners and

experts alike is jumping on a

snowmobile and traversing the

winter wonderlands.

Snowmobiling offers a powerful,

safe way to ride through even the

deepest of snow and can be an

exhilarating way for families to

spend time together.

PRE-RIDE CHECKLIST Adventure awaits you for your next snowmobiling excursion,

but so does cold weather that can be damaging to your machine.

Before you start your snowmobile, The Weather Channel recom-

mends that you check all critical parts spanning the drive belt, bat-

tery, rods, handlebars and throttle for proper working condition.

FIND A TRAILMany national forests and parks offer trails for safe snowmobile

action. Check your local tourism bureau’s website for interactive

maps that highlight these trails for your planning purposes.

TRAIL ETIQUETTERemember a few basic etiquette tips when taking your snowmo-

bile to the land. Only drive when there is a snow depth adequate to

keep your track from digging up the ground cover, and never chase

an animal that may be crossing the trail dur-

ing your ride. Keeping the environment and

wildlife in mind will ensure the overall well-

being of the land you enjoy.

DON’T DRINK & RIDE According to the Minnesota Department of

Natural Resources, more than 70 percent of

fatal snowmobiling accidents in the state in-

volve alcohol. Many northern states report

similar statistics and are actively promoting

“Don’t Drink and Ride” marketing campaigns.

In fact, many states have banded together

as part of a larger coalition that supports zero

alcohol consumption before or during your

ride. Alcohol can have a negative effect on a

driver’s vision, balance, coordination and re-

action time – all vital factors to a safe snow-

mobile ride.

Skiing & Snowboarding Skiing vs. snowboarding: It is a debate that rages on between winter riders. Each popular sport offers aunique type of snow experience that has drawn athletesand thrill-seekers for many years.

SNOWMOBILING The fluffy stuff can sure be fun. Snowfall may keep many Americans inside next to thefire – but not the winter adventurer like you!

It also suggests packing the

following items foryour safety in case of an emergency:

4 Spare spark plugsand belt

4 Emergency rationsof food and water

4 Tool kit

4 Flares

4 Extra ignition key

He added that when someone is under suspi-cion of DUI whether it be marijuana or alcohol, that people show the same symptoms of erratic driving patterns, slow acceleration, unusual braking patterns, and swerving. When police pull over those suspected of DUI, there is usually a strong permeating odor of alcohol or marijuana com-ing out of the car or on

people’s breath.“Nothing has changed in

standardized testing of DUI and these tests have been vetted for 10-plus years,” says Officer Gallop. “When it comes to DUI, the fact of the matter is that people under the influence shouldn’t be out on the road and putting themselves or other people in danger. Whatever you decide to do, just plan ahead,” Gal-lop says.

Although possession of cannabis is now legal, smok-ing or consuming it in public is not allowed and punish-able up to a $600 fine.

NEVaDa HISTORy

Nevada’s first two train robberieshappened on the 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 survey crew on the first Interstate 80 freeway proj-ect 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 passen-ger train Engine No. 1 from San Francisco arrived at this small station 11 miles west of Reno. Just as the train was leaving the sta-tion, three masked men boarded the express car behind the engine 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 control of the engine and express car. With pistols and brute force, the gang commanded the en-gineer to resume the trip toward Reno. The two brakemen, fireman 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 Station, other members of the robbery gang had built an obstruction on the track with rocks and tim-bers in order to stop the train. The engine and express car stopped at the obstruction on the tracks. With the aid of a double bar-rel 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 additional $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 be-ing 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 superin-tendent named John Chapman. Investigators determined the robbers placed the gold in old boots in order to carry that many of the heavy gold coins.

The Conductor, named Frank Marshall, was able to let the rear half of the train, mi-nus the engine, to coast downhill 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 en-gineer and fireman were busy removing the obstructions from the track. The two halves of the train were once again connected to-gether and the complete train, minus the stolen loot, made its way to Reno. The train arrived in Reno at thirty minutes after mid-night, only thirty minutes late.

Immediately, law enforcement officers went into action to apprehend the train rob-bers. 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 Par-sons, Sol Jones, J.C. Roberts, 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 Central Pa-cific Railroad Overland Express passenger train Engine No. 1 was robbed again just 20 hours after the robbery between Verdi and Reno. This second heist occurred 380 miles east of Reno near Pequop 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 rob-bery 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 and Co. ex-press 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 convicted of the crime and sen-tenced 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 re-stored and can be seen at the California State Railroad Museum in Sacramento.

Spanish Springs pulled away from McQueen late at home last Tuesday night to overcome a ho-hum start and escape with a 71-54 victory.

The Cougars improved to 12-4, 7-0 in the 4A North four days after an emotional win at Bishop Manogue. Coach Kyle Penney doesn’t believe his team was poten-tially suffering from any sort over Miner hangover.

“In sports, you talk about trap games, letdown games … I don’t buy into any of

that,” Penney said. “We work too hard. And our kids know. We had a lack of focus. There’s no doubt.”

He attributed the play of senior post Korbin Marcum and guard Bryce DeLong to the Cougs separating from the Lancers (6-7, 3-4) late. Spanish Springs scored 30 of the final 45 points after lead-ing just 41-39 late in the third.

DeLong finished with 15 points. Marcum chipped in 10.

“I think Korbin and Bryce, tonight, they didn’t allow us to lose,” Penney said. “They did a lot of good things.”

Loadholt scored 18 to lead Spanish Springs and Townsell poured in 15.

Townsell put a punctua-tion mark on the win with a rim-shaking put back dunk in the final 30 seconds. His flush accounted for the final points of the night and gave the Cougs their largest lead of the game.

Raiders routed at RenoSparks Tribune

Friday’s girls basketball game at Reno had all the markings of a memorable contest.

Reno, the perennial big dog of the High Desert League, hosted Reed, the former HDL powerhouse which was riding a 10-game winning streak. Both teams had only one regional defeat.

The game didn’t live up to the billing.

Reno’s press suffocated Reed (11-3, 6-2) all night as the Huskies (16-4, 7-1) rolled, 66-37.

The Huskies led 27-5 af-ter the first quarter and reached the running clock threshold (35 points) just

two minutes into the sec-ond quarter.

Dominque Harding scored eight consecutive points early in the second then a Kailiana Ramos bucket bal-looned the gap to 40-5. It matched Reno’s largest lead of the night. The Huskies also led 59-24 early in the fourth.

After going down 40-5, Reed played its best basket-ball of the night. The Raid-ers went on a 13-0 run to get within 40-18. That was as good as it got for the Raid-ers.

Autumn Wadsworth and Serene Townsell-Williams both led the Raiders with nine points.

Longtime Reed football coach Ernie Howren takes Bishop Manogue jobHowren went 146-54 during Reed tenureBy Nathan ShoupSparks Tribune Sports Editor

In a move that has shocked the Nevada prep football landscape, longtime Reed football coach Ernie How-ren resigned last Tuesday morning and has taken over Bishop Manogue.

Bishop Manogue put out a release announcing the hire on Tuesday morning. Howren later confirmed his decision to the Sparks Tri-bune over text. He began transitioning to his new role immediately.

“After 16 years at Reed High School, I am thankful for the relationships and friendships I have built and will certainly miss the play-ers and the fellow coaches,” Howren said in the release. “However, I am thrilled to join the Miner family and am excited for what is to come.”

Howren will take over for Thomas Peregrin, who re-signed in the offseason.

His name was rumored to be in the hat following Per-egrin’s decision, but then

again, what school wouldn’t want the best football coach in Northern Nevada, and ar-guably in the state? Howren went 146-54 in 16 seasons at Reed. He led the Raiders to five straight regional ti-tles, before Damonte Ranch snapped the streak in No-vember with a 49-45 come-back victory over the Raid-ers.

Howren turned the Raid-ers into a dynasty in North-ern Nevada with the worst facilities in the region. The football field was deemed a hazard by the NIAA before a six-figure upgrade in 2014. One year later, the NIAA ripped Reed of the ability to host state semifinal games after the Raiders’ home field was a liability in a state semi-final against Bishop Gorman – a 41-13 Gaels’ victory.

At Bishop Manogue, Howren will use one of the nicer facilities in the region and play on a FieldTurf sur-face – a benefit for his spread offense.

Howren inherits a Min-ers program that has gone 14-33 over the last five years and has not put together a winning season since 2011, when it went 6-5.

It is believed the vast ma-jority of Howren’s staff at Reed will follow him to Bishop Manogue.

PREP fOOTball

John Byrne/Tribune file photoAfter 16 years at Reed, football coach Ernie Howren resigned last Tuesday afternoon to take the same job at Bishop Manogue.

Nevada wins second straight road conference gameSparks Tribune

Marcus Marshall broke the 30-point bar-rier for the second time this season, leading Nevada to its second straight road confer-ence win, 89-74, at Wyoming on Saturday afternoon.

The Wolf Pack improved to 15-3, 4-1 behind Marshall’s 32-point showing and moved into a tie for first place in the Mountain West with Boise State. The Cowboys dropped to 12-6, 2-3.

All but three of Nevada’s 89 points came from the starting five.

Jordan Caroline backed up his 45-point outburst at New Mexico last Saturday with his third consecutive double-double. He put up 12 points and matched his career high with 15 rebounds. Cam Oliver also recorded a double-double, scoring 13 points and pull-ing down a season-high 16 rebounds.

Whistles were a common occurrence. Fif-ty-three total fouls were called, resulting in 71 free throws. Nevada went 31-of-37 (84 per-cent) at the charity stripe. Wyoming hit 27-of-34 (79 percent) freebies.

spanish spRings 50, McQueen 33

Spanish Springs and Mc-Queen played a tight game for nearly three quarters last Tuesday night. The Cougs and Lancers were tied at 27 with a few minutes left in the third.

Then Spanish Springs as-serted itself on its home floor.

The Cougs went on a 19-2 run, and scored 23 of the final 29 points, to pull away for an important 50-33 win in both team’s High Desert League opener.

With the 17-point victory, Spanish Springs (12-5, 6-1) remained tied for first place in the HDL. It entered the game tied with McQueen, Reno and Reed atop the standings. The Lancers sunk to 11-6, 5-2.

“It’s a big win. We want to stay right there on top of the standings with Reno and the other teams,” Spanish Springs coach Art Cardenas said. “We kept our compo-sure. We took care of the ball and were much better defen-sively.”

Cardenas said it was the Cougs’ defense that sparked the game-determining run. Mackenzie O’Connell and Serena Sanchez started the run with transition buckets off turnovers.

“Naelia Pinedo really stepped up, picked up the pressure, couple steals, cou-ple tie ups and really just changed the game,” Carde-nas said.

Eight different Cougars contributed in the win. Ser-ena Sanchez and Kierra Johnson led the way with 11 points. Pinedo had eight – all in the second half. And Al-ysa Domingues finished with seven.

Kaila Spevack led Mc-Queen with nine.

NEVaDa WOMEN’S HOOPS

First half effort not enough for PackAfter an opening 20 min-

utes of play that saw the Wolf Pack force 15 turn-overs, the Nevada women’s basketball team was unable to repeat that performance in the second half and fell to the Wyoming Cowgirls, 72-59, on Saturday after-noon inside Lawlor Events Center. All 10 players who checked into the game for the Pack recorded points on the scoreboard and was led by sophomore AJ Cephas who finished the game with 11 points on 4-of-7 shooting.

The Pack (6-10, 0-5 MW) came out of the gates with lots of energy on the defen-sive side of the ball, which resulted in eight Cowgirl

turnovers at the first media timeout. The defense was led by sophomore Terae Briggs, who forced two turnovers by herself at the under-five mark in the first quarter.

With two seconds left in the opening period, junior T Moe recorded her first bas-ket of the game, which gave her 600 points in her career. The converted and-one from Moe extended the Pack’s lead to 17-13 heading into the second stanza. Moe would finish the game with a team-high five rebounds.

After the Cowgirls (13-3, 5-0 MW) tied the game to open the second quar-ter, Nevada responded and

reclaimed the lead, 25-20, courtesy of back-to-back threes from freshman De-sirae Gonzalez and senior Stephanie Schmid. How-ever, as both squads traded turns taking the lead for the remaining five minutes of the first half, it was Wy-oming who found itself on top of the scoreboard, 33-32, at halftime.

The Cowgirls opened up the third quarter with a 9-0 run to take a 42-32 advan-tage and never looked back from that point.

Up next, Nevada will travel to Colorado Springs on Wednesday, Jan. 18 and take on the Air Force Fal-cons.

What Howren’s departure means for Reed program

Has everyone caught their breath? Have heart rates declined to normal rates? Has the sky ceased fall-

ing? When Bishop Manogue an-

nounced last Tuesday morning it had lured Ernie Howren away from Reed to coach their dormant football program, it unsurprisingly caused waves. Howren is arguably the best coach in the state and has built Reed into the 4A North’s flagship pro-gram.

Some reactions were malicious. Some were depressed. Some were congratulatory and thankful.

Some, in the first group aforementioned, were quick to ac-cuse Howren of choosing money over loyalty. That is incredi-bly shortsighted.

Reed’s now-former coach spent two decades working with the worst facilities in Northern Nevada. Life gave him lemons. He didn’t make lemonade. He made the finest lemon spritzer anyone at Reed has ever tasted. And he served it from a golden grail – for 20 years.

He accomplished all that he can accomplish at Reed – a football program, a school and a community he owes nothing to.

He stayed far longer than most would have. Now, he goes to a program with exponentially more

resources (yes, that includes much nicer facilities) and a far higher ceiling.

Bishop Manogue has the potential to be the next Reed, if you will, and then some. It’s not hard to imagine the transfor-mation happening in the relatively near future either.

Now, what about Reed? Are the Raiders doomed?It appears that most, if not all, of Reed’s assistants will

follow Howren to Manogue. Whoever takes over the program will have to bring and/

or hire their own staff. But because Howren grew Reed into, well, Reed, it remains a desirable job. Will another respected coach in Northern Nevada go to Reed and bring his entire staff? Will athletic director Ryan Sims convince one of the former assistants to stay and take over? Or will Sims hire outside Northern Nevada?

The coach-to-be will inherit a program with a strong foundation in place. The talent already at Reed is rare. I don’t expect there to be a mass exodus of Reed players to Manogue, not this year at least. Many players on the roster grew up watching Reed football games and dreaming of wearing the Blue and Gold. Howren’s departure doesn’t erase those memories.

Above all else, there is already a winning culture in place. That may be the program’s most desirable attrib-ute.

Reed can continue to compete for regional titles if the next coach embraces the recent history of success.

Howren’s departure leaves a void. That is obvious. But he won at Reed. So can the next coach.

Last Tuesday brought a bookend to a brilliant era for the Raiders. It doesn’t have to be a bookend to the program’s hope.

OuR VIEW

Nevada has every reason to feel like a slighted wallflower. We keep getting invited to the big

sage grouse dance, but never get asked to dance.

Gov. Brian Sandoval and Attor-ney Adam Laxalt and others have complained bitterly that state and local input on how to protect the sage grouse population and still conduct economically productive endeavors on the land the birds occupy have been roundly and almost universally ignored by the federal land agencies.

A lawsuit filed by Laxalt on behalf of the state, several coun-ties, a couple of mining firms and the owners of a ranch against the Interior Department, the Bureau of Land Management and others used a variant of the word “ignore” 22 times to describe how state and local objections to land use plans were received. In fact a motion filed by the state in that suit points out that after dismissing local input three top Interior Department offi-cials met privately, after the public comment period was closed, with environmental groups to obtain their “buy-in” on a land use plan.

So, pardon us if we scoff at the cheery BLM press release from this past week under the headline: “Collaboration the key to Sage Grouse success.”

The press release announced the creation of Nevada-based working groups comprised of federal and state agencies and key stakehold-ers “to identify regulatory flexibil-ity and improve communication and outreach between themselves and the public.”

The working groups resulted from a two-and-a-half day work-shop in Reno in early December.

“A key part of the workshop was the emphasis on establishing and improving relationships between the agencies and stakeholders, “ said John Ruhs, state director for the BLM in Nevada. “We also spent time getting to know people as individuals as opposed to just

Will collaboration on sage grouse finally happen?

This little “Piggy” is getting fat at the public trough

Back in the 1970s Wisconsin U.S. Sen. William Prox-mire began handing out his monthly Golden Fleece

Award, recognizing wasteful spend-ing by government agencies, such as a $4 million advertising campaign by the Postal Service to encourage Americans to write more letters to each other.

After his retirement, along came Oklahoma U.S. Sen. Tom Coburn, who published an annual “Waste-book” list of 100 wasteful govern-ment boondoggles and debacles, which one year criticized the IRS for allowing $17.5 million in tax deductions for business expenses at Nevada brothels, such as breast im-plants, costumes and “equipment.”

A couple of years ago the folks at the Nevada Policy Research Insti-

tute picked up the cudgel and gave it a Nevada spin. “The Nevada Piglet Book” each year compiled a compendium of pork, profli-gacy, political

proclivities and petty poltroonery.Apparently the porker has grown,

because this year’s recently pub-lished 28-page edition is titled, “The Nevada Piggy Book 2016.” Perhaps in a few years, at the current rate of state and local government growth in spending, it will be called “The Nevada Hog Book.”

One of this year’s new entries is a slap on the wrist for a $12.1 million,

3-mile demonstration bike path along the shores of Lake Tahoe, ad-ministered by the Tahoe Transpor-tation District. Yes, that is more than $4 million per mile. You can build a four-lane divided highway for less than that.

The goal is to eventually build a bike path around the entire lake, which is more than 70 miles in cir-cumference.

“The Highway Safety Research Center, housed within North Car-olina’s UNC-Chapel Hill complex, estimates that constructing a bike path can cost anywhere from $5,000 to $500,000 per mile. …” the authors of the Piggy Book note.

The moment I became a grandfather

I was born on a Friday in the blaze of an Arizona summer afternoon. 60 years later, it’s the wee hours of a Tuesday morn-

ing in the chilly travail of winter. Today is Isaac’s birthday. Not mine.

Isaac Steven.Alexis is my hero. She is great

with Isaac. Aaron is my hero, too. He is great with Alexis.

Aaron was 19 years-old when he met Alexis, then 18. He had never been on a date. Never gave a girl the time of day in grade school or high school. Joined the army at 17. Came home, enrolled in college. Sociology 101, first day of class. He beelined to the empty desk next to the beautiful brunette. From that day, neither has left the others side.

7:45 a.m. I’ve got a front row seat on the 50 yard-line of The Mystery. I’m listening to Isaac’s heartbeat, broadcast live in the birthing room. He can’t be happy; the doctor just drained the hot tub, so to speak. Isaac’s days in The Garden are over. He’s being evicted.

10:12 a.m. Alexis Rose is her name. It’s so beautiful. She … is so beau-tiful. Me, the father of three sons, finally has a daughter. How did I get so lucky?

For in this rose contained was/ Heaven and earth in little space

11:02 a.m. Alexis is magnificent. Magnificent, meaning, “that which magnifies.” (You rarely get to use the word literally.) Like every mother before her, Alexis’ passion magnifies pretty much everything that really matters. Life, hope, and the cost of love. Miracles and mean-ing. Another chance to get things

right. M a g n i f i e d. In fact, I just quoted Jesus’ mother to my Mighty Might daugh-ter-in-law …

My soul doth magnify the Lord, and my spirit hath rejoiced in

God my Savior. For he hath regarded the lowliness of his handmaiden. For behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. For he that is mighty hath magnified me and holy is his Name. — Mary

12:48 p.m. The coolest nurse ever comes in. She’s an angel, masquer-ading as a nurse. Woman to woman, she doses Alexis with comfort and confidence. I meet the worker’s eye and do my best to pour my wordless gratitude into her soul.

3:05 p.m. Behold, the woman. Creation groans. Then roars. Alexis suffers in holy service to love.

“To the woman God said, ‘I will greatly increase your pangs in child-bearing; in pain you shall bring forth your children.’” — Genesis 3

Really? Do you think? “It’s not true because it’s in the Bible,” my teacher said to me, once. “It’s in the Bible because it’s true.” I paste a wry smile over my helplessness. Is there anything more irrelevant than a man in a birthing room?

Hmm. A chance to get things right again. A chance to make things right. As the prophet Isaiah said, “I will save you, oh Israel. I will save you through your children.”

See, I only, ever, have had two things on my bucket list. First, I wanted the chance to be the father I always wanted to have. But second, and more important, I wanted (before I died) to look across a room and watch one of my sons being a really good father. Kind, loving, wise, admiring, patient, constant. The kind that never hits. Never humiliates. Never degrades or profanes his children.

Because then I will know that I stopped it. I will have laid down on the grenade, absorbed its energy and transformed it into peace and healing. I will have made sense of my life – its light and its dark. Then I can die in peace.

“Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, for mine eyes hath seen thy salvation …” — Luke 2

5:30 p.m. The doctor says we’re almost there. The nurse adjusts the magic bed to Launch Position. Seriously, this bed is crazy. 3, 4, 5 hundred years ago Alexis would be squatting in a hut. Or a rice paddy. Or the back of a wagon.

6:20 p.m. The only way out is through. Agony, the only road to joy. She sinks deep inside herself now.

8:06 p.m. I’m drowning in little blue eyes. Heaven and earth in such a little space, every time a baby is born. Everything that matters right there in your hands, in the form of a squawling little meatloaf.

Get a shovel. You’re gonna have to scrape me off the floor like so much warm jello.

OPINIONObama’s farewell

Like many Americans, I listened to President Obama’s farewell address to the na-

tion. As was expected, it was delivered in his best rhetorical hyperbole. Strangely enough, it was also eerily similar to the speech he made eight years ago when he won the election. On that occasion he promised to unite a divided country and bring significant change to the way Washington worked.

True to that long-ago promise, he completely usurped the power of the presidency when it came to having a beneficial rapport with Con-gress. In spite of the fact that in his first two years he had a compliant Democrat Congress and Senate, the only so-called “major” legis-lation that he was able to get passed was the abominable Obama Care bill. The Affordable Care Act was 100% a Democrat effort without a single Republican vote cast for it.

Several things in his farewell address, which was delivered in his adopted home-town of Chicago before a rapt audience, that were amus-ing to me were his statement that America is now safer and stronger than when he came in, people should not live in a singular bubble but should interface directly on a personal basis, race relations are better and the economy has improved markedly.

These statements are typical of what we have heard the past eight years from Obama himself plus a couple of spokesmen that sought to carry a false narrative to the supplicant White House Press Corps.

To counter some of Obama’s assertions, we have only to look around the world with the chaos in the Mideast, the resurgence of Russian hostility, the posturing of North Korea’s leader and the Chinese expansion offering stark con-trast.

As to living in a “bubble”, Obama is recog-nized as the most infrequent visitor to Congress ever to occupy the Presidency. He has instead opted to use his telephone and his pen to author executive orders and impose stifling economic regulations. When it comes to race relations, we have seen the outrageous “Black Lives Mat-ter” participants invited to the White House while members of law enforcement around the country have been denigrated on a consistent basis. When it comes to the economy, by almost every measurement, the recovery from the great recession has been extremely tepid.

As a former political speech writer, I know that instructions to the speaker such as when to (pause for laughter) after a humorous line or appear to be misty-eyed after a heart-rending line are often contained in parentheses in the final rendition of the script. Obama’s seemed to be right on cue at the moment he whipped out a tissue and dabbed his eyes.

Most critics who analyzed his speech gave him great credit for the overall production of the event but little credit for the substance of his soaring rhetoric.

I noticed that his so-called “brain”, Valerie Jarrett, was in a prominent position in the front section of his audience. Just as Carl Rove was credited with being George W. Bush’s intellec-tual advisor, Ms. Jarrett has long been recog-nized as Obama’s chief advisor.

Strangely enough, it was Jarrett who, a few

Court ‘saves’ nation on LGBT but some states balk

The Supreme Court has rescued the country from moral insensitivity

in cases dealing with gay marriage, lesbianism, abor-tion, bisexuality and gender change.

But some state legislatures have yet to get the message. The struggle for civil rights never ends, as Martin Luther King knew.

One recalcitrant on Supreme Court rulings is North Carolina. It is continuing a disgraceful campaign against transgender people, a drive launched by Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper.

Author Chase Strangio, in an article for Truthout, declared that “the lives and bodies of LGBT people are the subject of state-sponsored disdain and derision.”

North Carolina, once one of the few liberal states in the racist South, isn’t the only Southern state to legislate against transgenders. Texas is another.

The new Texas law passed by the Republican majority in the state cuts back its anti-discrimi-nation protections for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people. The law requires people in government buildings and in public schools to use bathrooms that correspond with their biological sex.

Lawmakers in Alabama, South Carolina and Washington have signaled their intentions to introduce similar bills this year.

Democratic lawmakers, civil rights groups and transgender rights activists condemned the legislation, predicting an economic blow to the state.

The Texas Association of Business denounced the law. “It’s discriminatory and bad for busi-ness,” Chris Wallace, association president, said.

North Carolina’s LBGT law has already cost the state $600 million. The NBA All-Star Game was pulled out of Charlotte. The NCAA yanked seven national championship games from North Carolina.

The New York Times editorialized: “Trans-gender people are no longer widely regarded as deviants, unfit for workplaces and a disgrace to families. But those who confided in relatives were once largely shunned. Transitioning on the job meant career suicide. ‘Coming out’ could cause transgenders to go through life as a pariah.”

This is the 21st Century. The nation’s 700,000 transgender Americans are merely seeking equal rights.

2 uRgent paRdon pleasPresident Obama has been generous with

year-end pardons in his eight years in office. Now he has two final, urgent pleas for pardons before he leaves office in three days.

• Pardoning all undocumented immigrants.• Pardoning Chelsea Manning.• Ending drug war.Obama should issue an executive order

granting a pardon to 11 million undocumented Latinos who are living and working in America. They are productive, fine people, lacking citizen-ship in name only. But: they are threatened with deportation by the incoming Donald Trump administration.

Patient zero plagues“Patient Zero: the person

identified as the first carrier of a communicable disease in an outbreak of related cases.”

It’s sometimes helpful to identify origins of poxes upon the body politic. Here are four personal

pox picks to click.1. RONALD WILSON REAGAN. To keep a

campaign promise, he needed a token female to appoint to the US Supreme Court. Alas, con-servative babes proved scarce. He settled on an obscure Arizona local court judge who had gone to law school with morticianly taciturn Justice William Rehnquist.

2. SANDRA DAY O’CONNOR. The first Supreme who had ever been pregnant cut the ovaries out of Roe v. Wade as a warmup.

The party-line 5-4 decision in Bush v. Gore was such an imprudent piece of jurisprudence that the blackrobes barred it use as precedent in any other case. Forever.

President Dubya the Unelected soon phonied up stories of Iraqi nukes and placed us into a state of perpetual war. The world bleeds.

O’Connor in later years said she regretted that decision. Too little, too late.

3. HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON sowed the seeds of her own destruction. Twice.

By caving to the major insurance companies, she spawned opposition that killed HillaryCare in the mid-90s. Obamacare would not have been necessary and her detractors would not have had it to run against.

Their campaigns were made easier by hate radio. It took the Donkeykongs over a decade to figure out what generated all the false rumors, now called fake news, that resulted in the 1980 election of Reagan and converted the senate to GOP.

Answer: Religious radio stations that liber-als never monitored. First Lady Hillary was assigned to create a new liberal broadcast network in response. She likewise failed, thus paving the way for her “surprise” defeat last year.

4. DONALD J. TRUMP. Presidential candi-date Hillary was handing the public re-runs while the psycho-narcissist was performing a new show every day.

I said last March that a Trump presidency would be a combination of Andrew Jackson and Arnold Schwarzenegger. To that rogues gallery, add Julius Caesar.

He became head of the Colosseum and gained wide acclaim giving bloodthirsty Romans heady entertainment. He then marched north to gather the war cred necessary to supplant democracy with dictatorship.

Trump already has his own Josef Goebbels, a smiling Aryan blonde named Kellyanne.

Propaganda minister Goebbels was once described as having “a high intellectual varnish covering the emotional world of an adolescent.”

Sound familiar?GREATEST SHOW ON DIRT. The venerable

Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus is folding its tents. They should have just an-nounced moving to Mexico. King Donaldo and Prince Pencil would have immediately found them millions in order to trumpet saving U.S. jobs.

OPINION

DEaR EDITOR,At the close of 2016 President

Obama’s midnight express rumbled through Nevada and Utah unload-ing meritless national monuments in defiance of local residents. The pres-ident’s action descends from the 1906 Antiquities Act, which is to designate “the smallest area compatible with the proper care and management of the objects to be protected.” But dedicating 1.3 million acres in southeastern Utah as Bears Ears National Monument and more than 300,000 acres as Gold Butte National Monument (GBNM), are far cries from the legitimate use of monument creation, especially when there had been no meaningful local in-put and open congressional processes to advise as to size and future use for area residents.

Proponents of GBNM have pep-pered the dialogue with improbable superlatives. Recent news items de-scribe the area as possessing a “unique cultural history,” an overworked phrase which was also used 15 months ago to enhance the creation of the Ba-sin and Range NM 125 miles north of Las Vegas. (Unique means one of a kind, never two.) Supporters describe GBNP as iconic, an ecologically fragile area to be preserved “for future gener-ations.” Allegedly, GBNM would draw foreign tourists, but with an increase in travel to GBNM would not thefts and other crimes increase as well?

President Obama stated that GBNM was necessary because the area was at risk for vandalism. Ironically, in possessing the new status, Gold But-te’s petroglyphs are more than ever subject to defacement because of vir-tual lack of BLM patrol. Its sweeping desert vistas and spectacular rock for-mations, though eye appealing, are no match for the nearby sandstone won-ders in the Valley of Fire State Park and those in central Nevada. Thus, GBNM is superfluous.

President Trump should rescind GBNM because the Federal budget has scant funding to hire adequate rangers to safeguard ill-prepared des-ert venturers who might lack enough water, food and clothing in case of a vehicle breakdown or stuck in sand. Temperatures from May to September often rise perilously to 110-115 degrees. Waiting it out in a stalled vehicle is no place to recall the hype of pro-monu-ment partisans who believe that the area as casual visitor-friendly. It is far from it.

Budgetary concerns also must be ad-dressed. The Alan Bible Visitor Center near Hoover Dam sometimes operates on short weeks because of inadequate funding to staff it. South of Las Vegas, the Sloan Canyon National Conserva-tion Area has only a trailer where vol-unteers stand by to assist visitors. The heightened attention to Sloan Canyon a few years ago attracted young delin-quents who defaced a few petroglyphs with spray paint.

About 120 miles north of Las Vegas the Basin & Range National Monu-ment (B&R) was established in 2015, yet it still has no permanent BLM pa-trol to protect three fine petroglyphs sites, the Narrows, the Shooting Gal-lery, and the Mt. Irish Archaeologi-cal site. The latter has picnic tables, a privy, informational markers, and a post holding pamphlets describing the site. B&R’s shady creation was strictly a political ploy by Sen. Harry Reid to prevent a railroad from being built from nearby Caliente westward to Yucca Mountain as the final leg to de-liver spent fuel rods from the nation’s nuclear power plants.

The sites within GBNM consist of three insignificant ghost towns whose nearby mines never panned out, with metal production of less than $60,000 according to mining statistics compil-ers Couch and Carpenter. These sites display little more than foundations.

Indeed, GBNM boasts of significant rock art panels, but only one can be reached by pavement—Whitney Pock-ets. Nearby, Falling Man is hidden away, as is Newspaper Rock, acces-sible by trail.

West of these is Kohta Circus, where the visitor drives through sand per-haps until he possibly gets stuck be-fore reaching a dazzling panel of rock art. It is exceptional; the other petro-glyphs found in GBNM are duplicated many times over elsewhere. Westerly from there is Sheep Rock, where about twenty nose-to-tail sheep parade across a panel.

South of Whitney Pockets alongside the Gold Butte road is Devil’s Throat, the site of a fenced off geological sink-hole. South and west of there is Fin-land (informally the “Devil’s Garden”) consisting of numerous miniature sandstone formations which can be easily removed, even as cave seekers might enter a newly found one and bust off a portion of a stalagmite as a souvenir. There, scorpions hiding in crevices are guaranteed! Petroglyphs in the Valley of Fire, Death Valley and in northern Arizona are far more sat-isfying, thus monument protection is not required for Gold Butte.

GBNM has only one narrow county road protruding into it—a twisty, auto pathway of asphalt, gravel and pot-holes. Thereafter, all area byways are mostly geared for 4-wheelers. Why are 300,000 acres of real estate needed to preserve a few sites of interest? Cre-ation of the primitive GBNM was ill advised because much of the area is already protected as part of the Lake Mead National Recreation Area and the Lime Canyon and Jumbo Springs wilderness areas.

The GBNM is situated far from ame-nities—more than 30 miles from the city conveniences of Mesquite on I-15. Proponents say that GBNP will attain an economic potential and visitation to the tune of nearly a $3 million an-nual benefit for the area. But how? No

responsible economist would suggest this. Nevada Congressman Ruben Ki-huen also blunders by stating that the new monument is ‘”Nevada’s piece of the Grand Canyon,” though clearly it is not because the canyons adjacent to the nearby Colorado River pinch out 18 miles east of the Nevada-Ari-zona border. Other misconceptions have been passed on by GBNM zealots who obviously have never set foot on GBNM.

The new national monument con-tains no unique biological species or endangered wildlife within its bound-aries, and its petroglyphs are exceeded by those in the Valley of Fire, Death Valley, and in northern Arizona desert areas. The 1906 Antiquities Act was not intended to land grab and create at will national monuments to a presi-dent’s legacy. The Antiquities Act was initially established to protect such sites as Colorado’s Mesa Verde, where scavengers were stealing pots and tools and selling them on the black market. No president has abused the Act as Obama has as in the creation of GBNM. STANLEy W. PAHER, RENO

DEaR EDITOR,Replacing Obamacare

With Republican Congress bent on depriving 22 million Americans of medical insurance, this is a great time to provide our own, totally free and totally effective health insurance - a plant-based diet.

A study with 131,000 participants, in last year’s Internal Medicine, found that consumption of animal protein is associated with higher risk of death. A couple dozen other massive studies in the past four decades had similar findings. None reached opposite con-clusions.

According to National Institutes of Health, 1.4 million, or 68%, of identi-fied U.S. deaths are attributed to heart disease, stroke, cancer, and diabetes, linked conclusively with consumption of animal products.

Cost of medical care was estimated by National Institutes of Health at 3 trillion dollars in 2014, or $24,000 per household, and rising at 6.5% annu-ally - nearly four times the rate of infla-tion. Incredibly, this amount rivals our national budget and represents 17.5% of our gross domestic product. Even so, it does not include the costs of lost productivity, disability, and premature death.

We have little control over the na-tional cost of medical care. But, each of us has a great deal of control over our household’s $24,000 share every time we visit the grocery store.

lETTERS TO THE EDITOR

weeks ago, said that she was happy that President Obama had no “scandals” during his administration. Apparently, she did not read the many news accounts of scandalous behavior in almost every de-partment that existed during Obama’s tenure. Just to name a couple, there is Eric Holder who is the only AG ever held in contempt of Congress and Lois Lerner of the IRS who refused to answer questions from Congressional investiga-tors by taking the Fifth.

One of the reasons for Obama’s eight-year sojourn from reality might be attribut-able to the fact that one of his closest advisors, Ben Rhodes, has a degree in Science Fiction Writing. It may have been Rhodes who crafted the Benghazi video lie, and who helped foster Obama’s famous alternative view of reality.

As Obama rides off into the sunset on his high horse, one local wag has suggested it looks more like a hobby-horse.

identifying them by their interest or agency.”

He was further quoted as saying, “In the case of the amendments for the Greater sage grouse plans in Nevada, a collaborative network of lo-cal, state and federal partners is essential for protecting the sagebrush ecosystem while ensuring multiple uses.”

Though Ruhs has a rep-utation for being a straight shooter — he brokered a deal that allowed Battle Mountain district ranchers to temporarily continue grazing after permits had been denied — he does answer to the federal land bosses in Washington, from whence just two weeks ago came a proposal to ban min-ing on 10 million acres in the West — a quarter of that in Nevada alone and most of that in Elko County — to protect sage grouse.

Sandoval fired off a retort saying, “Today’s announce-ment does nothing to protect the greater sage-grouse, but does cripple the mining and exploration industry. It is an unfortunate end to our collaborative efforts with this administration. I am hopeful the new administra-tion will consider the limited ecological benefits of this withdrawal.”

Now senior Nevada U.S. Sen. Dean Heller called the ban an 11th-hour attack on the West by a lame duck president.

“Federal land grabs are never popular in Nevada and the latest one by the BLM is no different. A mining

ban does little to help sage grouse and will devastate northern Nevada’s future economic competitiveness,” Heller said in a press release. “I will partner with the next administration to reverse this decision and to ensure the BLM focuses on the real threats to sage grouse, like wildfires, instead of locking up Nevadans’ public lands. Those are the types of efforts, rather than these harmful mining bans, that will benefit our environment while also allowing our economy to grow,”

Nevadans can only hope that with the changes coming in Washington these working groups might actually be listened to.

National BLM Director Neil Kornze — a former aide to Nevada Sen. Harry “Lock Up the Land and Throw Away the Key” Reid — has announced he is stepping down on Jan. 20, the day Donald Trump is inaugu-rated president.

Trump, meanwhile, has nominated Montana Rep. Ryan Zinke, who grew up in a logging town, to head the Interior Department.

That BLM press release announcing the working groups quotes JJ Goicoe-chea, chairman of the Nevada Sagebrush Eco-system Council, as saying, “While this process was just the beginning, there was a collective recognition of key issues to address and an overall feeling that if we don’t collaboratively work toward solutions, we will fail individually.”

Perhaps, with a different band in Washington playing a different tune, Nevada will finally get to dance. — TM

Department of Wildlife’s penchant for pur-chasing more vehicles than it needs.

According to an audit, the agency in one recent year had 118 total pooled vehicles, but more than half — 64 — had been driven less than the required 8,400 miles in a year. Four vehicles had no recorded mileage at all.

“Reducing fleet size could result in annual savings of up to $244,000 and a one-time savings of up to $163,000 from disposal of excess vehicles,” NPRI quoted the audit as saying.

The bulk of the book was devoted to a perennial topic: overly generous public employee salaries and obscenely excessive retirement benefits.

The Piggy Book cited several examples of retirement benefits undreamed of in the private sector. One Nevada firefighter retired in his early 40s and immediately began drawing a $105,000 annual pension from the Nevada Public Employee Retirement Sys-tem. Though he had worked only 20 years, he “purchased” five years of entitlement to qualify for a 25-year pension level.

That firefighter is currently working full-time at a California fire department and being paid more than $300,000 a year. If he lives to his mid-80s, his annual Nevada pension alone, after compounding up to 5 percent a year in cost of living adjustments, could ex-ceed $500,000 a year, NPRI calculates.

A Nevada police officer, the book tells us, retired at age 38 and began drawing $110,000 a year in pension money. Considering his life

expectancy and cost adjustments, his total taxpayer funded pension should exceed $13 million.

“Nevadans’ tax dollars should go to pro-viding public services,” the authors argue. “They should not be funding million-dollar retirement benefits for people out to amass personal fortunes by exploiting the bad public-policy decisions of naïve, ignorant or tainted politicians.”

The book further notes that local govern-ment salaries for police, firefighters and corrections officers rank fourth highest in the nation when adjusted for cost of living, while the adjusted wages of average Neva-dans rank 46th.

The trajectory is for things to get worse before they get better.

As state Controller Ron Knecht pointed out recently, over the past decade total state spending (and that does not include local government agencies) grew 55 percent, while Nevadan’s incomes grew only 27 percent.

The term for that is unsustainable.NPRI concludes, “For the interest groups

that have covertly taken up residence within the public trough, trimming government is manifestly verboten. They have come to believe that — regardless of the waste, fraud and abuse that routinely takes place — they can always squeeze a few more billion dol-lars from the naïve, hard-working taxpay-ers.”

Humanitarian critic Noam Chomsky rightly says a Trump deportation would be “a horrible tragedy and moral outrage.”

As for Army Spec. Manning, she con-fessed to disclosing secret diplomatic ar-chives to WikiLeaks in 2010. She admitted she was wrong. But, already having served six years in prison—longer than any other leaker in history—Ms. Manning has asked Obama for a justified pardon of her excessive 35-year sentence.

Her petition was supported by Daniel Ellsberg, celebrated for leaking a classified history of the Vietnam War, the Pentagon Papers, in 1971.

Bogus drug war. Tens of millions have had their lives ruined for using, possessing and selling now legal marijuana.

fRee pRess pRe-dates constitutionThe principal of freedom of the press was

established in colonial America in 1735 but few people living today ever heard of Zenger.

John Peter Zenger was a printer in New York City who published The New York Weekly JOURNAL “Containing the freshest Advices, Foreign, and Domestick.” It came out every “MUNDAY.”

When the tyrannical New York Gov. William Crosby charged that Zenger was publishing seditious libels of him intending “to foster disloyalty to her Majesty’s Govern-ment,” Zenger was charged, tried and jailed.

At trial, Zenger’s lawyers offered the truth as defense against a charge of libel and

that juries should decide trial verdicts, not judges. Zenger’s jury agreed, acquitting him.

The Constitution sealed the verdict, guar-anteeing freedom of the press in the First Amendment.

Richard Kluger in his recent book, “Invis-ible Ink,” rightly called the Zenger case “the Day Star of the American Revolution.”

tRuMp Backs univeRsal health? A recent column in the New York Times

by David Leonhardt was addressed to Presi-dent-elect Donald Trump. It began:

“Your position on universal health insur-ance has been admirably clear: you support it. You did before you ran for president and continued to do so during the campaign.

“In 2000 you wrote: ’We must have universal health care. In a Fox News debate last fall you said we have to take care of the people that can’t take care of themselves. On “60 Minutes” you said “everybody’s got to be covered.”

Fact or fiction? The Times does not know-ingly deal in fake news. But this hardly sounds like the reactionary Trump who promises to end Obama’s Affordable Care Act.

So, the question is: the Lady or the Tiger?Frank Stockton asked that question in a

short story in 1882. It since has been much anthologized and made into plays and mu-sicals. Rock bands made songs out of it and Sylvia Plath turned the subject into a sonnet.

The Wikipedia Encyclopedia calls it “an allegorical expression for a problem that has no solution. The story ends: ‘Which came out of the opened door—the lady or the tiger?’ “

The Savvy SeniorJim Miller

Dear Savvy Senior,

What are the best treatments recommended to help seniors with bladder control problems?

Leaking Linda Dear Linda,Incontinence is very com-

mon in older adults. Accord-ing to the CDC, more than half of women and 30 percent of men ages 65 and older are affected by it. Fortunately, there are a wide variety of treatment options that can help, as well as a number of absorbent pads or under-wear you could use for leak-age protection. Here’s what you should know.

See A DoctorIf you leak unexpectedly

(also known as stress incon-tinence) or sometimes have such a strong urge to urinate (urge incontinence) that you fear you won’t make it to a bathroom in time, your first step is to make an appoint-ment with your primary care doctor, or see a gynecologist, urologist, or urogynecologist.

A doctor can determine if a medication side effect or a condition like diabetes or a urinary-tract infection might be causing urine leakage. They can also set you up with a treatment plan. Depending on the reason or the type on incontinence you have, here are some common treatment

options. Non-drug therapies:

There are a number of exer-cises, bladder training tech-niques and lifestyle strategies that should be the first line of treatment.

Kegel exercises (repeatedly tightening and relaxing the muscles that stop urine flow to strengthen them) are espe-cially helpful for women with stress incontinence, or leak-ing when they laugh, cough, sneeze, lift heavy objects, or exercise.

Bladder training involves keeping a diary of urination and accidents, then slowly increasing the time between bathroom visits. It’s most ef-fective for those with urge in-continence.

There are also a number of lifestyle strategies that can help, such as cutting down on caffeinated and alcoholic drinks, which cause the kid-neys to produce more urine. Getting sufficient fiber in your diet to keep yourself regular, because constipa-tion can contribute to in-continence. Losing weight if appropriate, because excess weight puts pressure on the abdomen and bladder, and being overweight can also lead to Type 2 diabetes, which causes damage to the nerves that control the blad-der. And if you smoke quit, because smoking leads to excess coughing which can cause urine leakage.

Medications: Several drugs are approved for urge incontinence (or overactive bladder), such as prescrip-tion mirabegron (Myrbe-triq), oxybutynin (Ditropan XL and generic), solifenacin

(Vesicare), and tolterodine (Detrol and generic).

While drug treatments are effective for many people, you also need to know that more than half of those who take in-continence drugs stop within six months because of side effects including constipa-tion, drowsiness, dry mouth, blurry vision, and dizziness.

Injections of Botox into the bladder muscle are also approved for this condition and may reduce the urge to urinate. This is usually pre-scribed to people only if other first line medications haven’t been successful.

Medications should only be considered for those who continue to have bothersome symptoms despite having tried lifestyle changes and therapy exercises.

Electrical stimulation: Mild electric shocks to nerves in the lower back or the pel-vic area can stimulate and strengthen muscles that are involved in urination. This can help with both urge and stress incontinence, but it requires multiple treatments over many weeks.

Surgery: Several surgi-cal procedures are available for stress incontinence. The most common is sling sur-gery, where strips of syn-thetic mesh are implanted to support the urethra. This surgery is very effective in most patients, but should be a last resort.

Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org. Jim Miller is a con-tributor to the NBC Today show and author of “The Savvy Senior” book.

18� Jan. 17, 2017

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Look to some with expe-rience for advice on the 17th, 18th and 19th. The more in-formation you have to back the way you feel or help you prepare and finish what you start, the better. You can sta-bilize your position and your future if you make prepara-tion and organization a pri-ority.

TAURUS (April 20-May

20): Carefully go over infor-mation you’ve been given on the 17th, 18th and 19th. If something isn’t clear, don’t hesitate to ask for verifica-tion. A misunderstanding will lead to a costly mistake. Know what’s expected of you before you commit to any le-gal or contractual agreement.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You’ll have greater opportu-nity to make positive changes

on the 17th, 18th and 19th if you make a to-do list and follow it through from top to bottom. Overspending, in-dulgence and excess will be a problem if you have trouble saying no.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Keep your spending to a min-imum on the 17th, 18th and 19th. Investments will not turn out the way you antici-pate, and donations or help-

ing others will leave you feel-ing cheated or disappointed. Keep an open mind and offer suggestions, but don’t con-tribute cash. Socializing or doing things with children or peers on the 20th and 21st will lead to a better under-standing of how you can use your skills to get ahead.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): If something isn’t working for you or going your way at work or at home on the 17th, 18th and 19th, implement a slow, well-thought out plan to bring about positive change that en-courages greater personal or professional growth as well as a better standard of living.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Keep life simple on the 17th, 18th and 19th. Too much of anything will leave you at a loss. Someone from your past will take advantage of you if you allow insincere gestures or compliments cloud your vision. Don’t make impul-sive purchases or donations. Work alongside someone you love on the 20th and 21st, and you will build a cozy en-vironment to share with each other.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Expressing your emotions outwardly on the 17th, 18th and 19th will have its conse-quences. Don’t say or do any-thing you might regret. Stick to a project that needs to be completed instead of getting involved in situations that create uncertainty, confusion or interference. Preparation will help you avoid com-plaints and criticism on the 20th and 21st. Referring to past successes will help you stay on the right track.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Don’t feel guilty if you cannot accommodate unrea-sonable demands on the 17th, 18th and 19th. Size up your sit-uation and offer suggestions that don’t include you taking on responsibilities that don’t

belong to you. Make plans to do something special on the 20th and 21st with someone who means the world to you. Pampering and preparing for a special event will lead to unexpected compliments and a noteworthy proposal that will give you something to think about.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Implement change at work, home or to a project you are trying to get off the ground on the 17th, 18th and 19th. The more time and ef-fort you put in, the less inter-ference you will get from on-lookers. Where there’s a will, there’s a way.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): On the 17th, 18th and 19th, take a step back until you can see what’s going on and say without a doubt that you can live with the outcome or any consequences that may arise. Choose to elimi-nate doubt instead of being impulsive. An unexpected opportunity will develop on the 20th and 21st. Use your imagination, and you will be able to turn a suggestion into a reality. Celebrate your suc-cess with someone you love.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Embrace change on the 17th, 18th and 19th. Don’t be afraid to mix things up a bit and take control of whatever situation you face. Personal preferences can be put in place if you are the one nego-tiating on your behalf. Refuse to get stuck in the middle of someone else’s dilemma on the 20th and 21st.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Be careful not to promise the impossible on the 17th, 18th and 19th. You’ll be held accountable if you brag or claim to have skills or inside information that cannot be verified. An unusual chance to put your skills and experi-ence to good use will surface the 20th and 21st.

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a su-doku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

Jan. 17, 2017 19

DEAR ABBY: I bought my 11-year-old daughter a cellphone. My ex does not ap-prove. We have been divorced for six years, and he still can’t get over it. He despises me. He refuses to listen to why I want her to have a cellphone.

While I want her to be re-sponsible with it, I realize she will make mistakes -- which she already has by being on her phone too much. (It has been taken away from her once.) I want her to carry the phone with her in case of emergencies. If it is confis-cated at school, her dad will no doubt tell me, “I told you so.”

Should I abide by his wishes and not allow her to have the phone, or do you think my points are valid? -- MOM WITH PHONE IS-SUE

DEAR MOM: Wanting your daughter to have the cellphone in case of emer-gency seems valid to me. If you are her custodial parent, I think that prerogative be-longs to you.

But I do have a question: Who took the phone away from your daughter? If you did it because she was abus-ing the privilege, then she will learn her lesson if you are consistent. If a teacher takes it away from her at school, there should be con-

sequences and you should ensure that they are enforced.

DEAR ABBY: I have an unusual problem. I’m very accident-prone. Over the past several years I have been in a cast many times, sometimes for long periods. My friends constantly tease me about it when what I’d really appreci-ate is a little compassion and maybe a little help while I am recovering. How do I let these people know that their teas-ing is hurtful? -- WENDY IN CALIFORNIA

DEAR WENDY: If you have been in a cast “many times” over the past few years, your friends may be suffering from compassion fatigue. If their making light of your predicament is hurt-ing your feelings, you have to tell them so. And while you’re at it, tell them what you DO need from them.

On a slightly different note, don’t you think it’s time to de-termine why you are so acci-dent-prone? Is it clumsiness? Poor vision? Discuss this with your medical provider, because he or she might ad-vise neurological testing, or even some sessions with a li-censed mental health profes-sional. Please consider this advice.

DEAR ABBY: I am a healthy, somewhat older lady with a reasonable appetite who unfortunately sleeps alone. Consequently, I have a few toys to help me on sleep-less nights. One of my biggest worries, however, is that if I should expire and my loved ones discover my toy collec-tion after my demise, they will be shocked.

I don’t want to give up my toys, but I am worried about what my loved ones will think of me should I cease to exist before my appetite decreases. Surely one of these days it will. But in the meantime, what happens if I die and they discover my secret? -- KEEPING A LID ON IT

DEAR KEEPING: What will happen? You will die with a smile on your face.

DEAR ABBY: I am a 58-year-old female. My mother passed away in my home almost exactly a year ago. I took care of her for the last three years of her life. Af-ter she died, my brother and his wife came to my home at 1:30 p.m. The funeral home didn’t arrive to pick her up until 8:30 that night.

Later that evening, after my mom was gone and my brother and his wife left, my daughter came to me and announced that my sister-

in-law had secretly taken pictures of Mom in the body bag on the stretcher as she was being wheeled out of my home. She didn’t know that my daughter had seen her.

I am furious, horrified and hurt beyond description! My mother always liked to look nice and made a special ef-fort to look good for a picture. The coroner had told me to go into another room when they were taking her because he said I wouldn’t want that as my last memory of her.

I have never said anything to my sister-in-law, but I can’t seem to let this go. It’s kill-ing me. Am I overreacting? Please, I need your advice. -- MISSING MOM

DEAR MISSING MOM: I am truly sorry for your loss,

but you may be overreact-ing. Not everyone grieves in the same way, and similarly, not everyone feels the same way about taking pictures of deceased loved ones. During Victorian times the practice was quite common.

I don’t know why your sis-ter-in-law felt compelled to take the photos, but it could have been a gesture of love and respect. If you want to know why she did it, you should calmly ask her and let her explain.
