After just three meetings, the Charter Committee appointed by city officials is on track to present their recommenda-tions to the Mesquite City Council at its meeting on Nov. 9.

Mesquite is currently one of seven general law cities in Nevada but if the Nevada State Legislature approves the proposed charter, they will join 12 other charter cities in Nevada: Boulder City, Caliente, Carlin, Carson City, Elko, Henderson, Las Vegas, North Las Ve-gas, Reno, Sparks, Wells and Yerington. Mesquite and Fernley are the only cities with more than 5,000 residents that are not charter cities.

The difference between the two classi-fications of cities boils down to authority over municipal affairs. Instead of being held at the mercy of Nevada’s rulings and laws, Mesquite will, if approved, be able to set its own terms and condi-tions where appropriate. The term “mu-nicipal’ is fluid in itself and may include matters pertaining to elections, which is what triggered the current committee with the ordeal that occurred with the 2016 primary elections for Mesquite City Council.

The committee has made a bit of progress through their first three meetings thanks to help from Aaron Baker, Mesquite City liai-son officer serving as ex-officio and City At-torney Bob Sweetin providing legal counsel. The duo created the starting charter based off of Henderson’s charter and altering as

With a festival atmosphere and public tours of its medical marijuana dispensary, Deep Roots Harvest celebrated its official grand opening Sat-urday, Oct. 22.

“We’ve had a steady stream of visitors all after-noon,” said Keith Capurro, CEO of Deep Roots Harvest, about the event that began at noon and ran until 6 p.m.

Visitors were allowed to tour the dispensary and view various products available for sale to those who hold a medical marijuana card officially is-sued by the state. Nevada law also allows sales of medical marijuana products to out-of-state card-holders but at lower amounts.

Moped owners in Nevada will have to get a moped license plate and pay one-time registration fees under Senate Bill 404 (SB 404), which was passed in the 2015 Nevada Legislature as a measure to combat moped theft.

The DMV will begin moped registration

Nov. 1. Law enforcement can begin issuing citations to unregistered mopeds on Jan. 1.

Because SB 404 is an anti-theft measure, other laws on mopeds have not changed. A driver’s license of any class is required to ride on public streets. Mopeds will remain exempt from insurance and helmet laws.

“Moped registration is meant to help owners protect their property,” said State Senator Mo Denis, (D) Clark, one of

SB 404’s primary sponsors.Currently, law enforcement has no

easy way to determine whether a mo-ped is stolen or to notify the owner of an impounded vehicle. Owners, when they are located, often have no proof of ownership. Moped registration will also enhance public safety by ensuring riders are licensed drivers and that motorcycles are registered and insured.

On a 4-1 vote, the Mesquite City Coun-cil adopted amendments to the medical marijuana separation requirements or-dinance at its Tuesday, Oct. 25 meeting that brings the measurement guidelines in line with liquor stores. Councilman Kraig Hafen said he was voting no on the zoning item because liquor stores are federally legal businesses while marijua-na-related businesses were not approved by the federal government.

The original code required separa-tion measurements from property line

to property line and required a separa-tion of at least 1,000 feet between the dis-pensary and public or private schools, community facilities or churches or synagogues not located in an industrial zone. The amended code now requires measurements from entry door to en-try door, still maintaining the 1,000-foot separation.

The new guidelines affect property owners surrounding the Deep Roots Harvest medical marijuana dispensary located in the Mesquite Technology and Commerce Center. Richard Secrist, De-velopment Services director, said the dispensary’s front door is located 2,200

feet from the RV park on the northwest side, 468 feet to the eastern property that’s zoned residential/hotel, and 448 feet to the southern parcel in an indus-trial zone.

A nearby property owner raised the concern that the limitations could con-stitute a “taking” of property because it would restrict what could be built on the adjacent lots. Secrist answered that con-cern saying a new bill proposal was com-ing before the council next month that would allow exemptions to allow volun-tary locations closer to the dispensary.

City code amended to clarify distance from medical marijuana facility with other businesses

Senate candidates are on opposite ends of spectrum

Fifteen years ago until the Enron market manipulation debacle that led to blackouts and price spikes scared lawmakers off. A

free market was not the problem, it was criminal collusion and fraud.

Now, Nevadans have another chance to let free markets set the price of electricity instead of monopoly power companies and public utility regulators.

Question 3 on the statewide Novem-ber ballot, if passed, would start the process of amending the state Consti-tution to prohibit granting electricity monopolies or exclusive franchises.

The argument for passage of Ques-tion 3 — the Energy Choice Initiative — points out that Nevada has some of the highest electricity rates in the West, this is partly due to the fact electricity rates are dictated by the Public Utilities

Commission, which by law must guar-antee a profit for the monopoly util-ity companies. This is determined by setting a rate of return on equity, which incentivizes the power companies in the state to build expensive power plants when cheaper power might be available on the grid in an open and free market. There is no competitive pressure. There is little incentive to innovate.

Though the backers of Question 3 tout the potential of renewable energy development, the real benefit of pas-sage is competition and innovation to achieve the most efficient and cost-effective power supply, whatever drives the generators.

Yes, Question 3 is supported by the large corporations and casinos who would benefit from buying cheaper

electricity on the open market instead of from the monopoly NV Energy owned by billionaire Warrant Buffet, but residential customers also should benefit in the long run. Data from states that have adopted energy choice reveal a nearly 20 percent cost savings for consumers.

This newspaper endorses passage of Question 3.

Question 4 on the November ballot would also amend the state Consti-tution. Approval would require the Legislature to exempt durable medical equipment, oxygen delivery equipment, and mobility enhancing equipment from any sales or property taxes.

This would not only reduce the cost for those who require the equipment but also for all of us in the insurance pool who bear the cost.

We recommend a vote in favor of Question 4.

In each county in November the vot-ers will be asked whether to index the tax on vehicle fuel to inflation with all resulting additional revenue going to build and repair roads specifically in those counties.

The 2015 Legislature allowed all counties to put a fuel tax indexing question on the ballot. This would allow the existing tax per gallon to increase at the same rate as the Pro-ducer Price Index, but with a cap of 7.8 percent per gallon. Some counties may choose a lower cap.

In this case the taxpayer-road user has a clear benefit in return for the outlay and thus a rare real return on investment. We think the voters would be wise to approve this tax. — TM

The race to fill the U.S. Senate seat of retiring Sen. Harry Reid offers voters a marked contrast in candidates, especially rural

voters.Reid has handpicked former Nevada

Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto to be his Democratic heir appar-ent, while Republicans have nominated Congressman Joe Heck, an emergency room physician by profession and a brigadier general in the Army Reserve.

The issue of what to do about federal public lands alone finds the two can-didates pegged on opposite ends of the political spectrum.

Rep. Heck argues that far too much of Nevada — more than 86 percent — is controlled by federal government land agencies, which restrict productive uses.

“I believe that the best stewards of our precious lands are the people closest to it, who understand Nevada’s Western way of life, not bureaucrats in Wash-ington,” Heck says on his website. “I opposed the president’s recent unilat-eral, executive land grab designating the Basin and Range Monument because it went well beyond the intention of the Antiquities Act and it did not have the support of local residents. I also co-sponsored legislation called the Nevada Land Sovereignty Act of 2015, which prevents the president from taking ex-

ecutive action designating or expanding national monuments without Congres-sional approval or local support.”

In Congress, Heck boasts that he has fought to stop the listing of the greater sage grouse as an endangered species because of how it would harm the state’s economy.

“As your Senator, I will fight to trans-fer more of our public lands back to our state so that Nevadans can decide how to best utilize the land,” the congress-man says.

In sharp contrast, Cortez Masto is cut from the same cloth as Reid, who applauded the president’s unilateral designation of Basin and Range Monu-ment and has generally opposed hand-ing over greater control of public lands to the state.

She has said on her website, “I will fight to ensure that future generations

To the EditorThe government is dominated by two

political parties. The problems of today will not be diminished by sending more of them to Washington. Let’s hire a 3rd party team, Libertarians Gary John-son and Bill Weld, to solve problems using Liberty principles. Every four years individuals running for president promise to bring change. But what do we get? More of the same! Consider the evidence:

Our last time of peace and prosperity was the late 1950’s. Since then national debt went from $286 Billion in 1960, to over $19 Trillion. For 60+ years we’ve been continuously at war, even on this very day we’re bombing other countries. The economy is down the drain yet we keep sending the same corrupt two-party monopoly back to DC.

Smart people know that you don’t solve problems by applying more of the same things that caused the problems in the first place.

The only way to free ourselves from the stranglehold of the monopoly is to bring in a new perspective. Governors Johnson and Weld are competent, de-cent and honest statesmen. Please con-sider giving them a chance to tackle the problems of the nation. If we don’t like

their work, we can always replace them in four years with a Republican or Dem-ocrat.

HoLE-IN-oNE pEt storE UNABLE to opEN

Letter to Editor,I am writing to share the disappoint-

ing news that the much-anticipated Hole-In-One Pet Products store will not be opening this year as planned.

It has been a heart-breaking decision to make, and very personal. We were so close to opening, and it was an un-expected turn of events at a critical time that led to this decision. I apologize to the community, my staff, and everyone who worked alongside me these past nine months.

Those who know me know that I came to Mesquite to care for my parents, and it’s been a difficult journey. Sadly, the situation has escalated to the point that I am unable to open the store at this time, and need to turn my full attention in another direction for the foreseeable future.

From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank everyone in Mesquite…. Not only for their enthusiastic support and en-couragement surrounding the pet facil-ity, but also for the genuine concern and assistance I’ve received from friends and strangers alike concerning the situation with my parents.

I wish to go on record to dispute hearsay that Mesquite is a difficult town in which to start-up a business. I’ve had unwavering assistance and support from the City, Chamber, Re-gional Business Development, other businesses (with a shout out to the Rising Star), and generous spirited in-dividuals in town.

Thank you to everyone!To quote the lovely Gloria George re-

cently, “If you can’t find a whole bunch of people you like in Mesquite, you’re missing out on something in life.”

I whole-heartedly concur. We live in a unique and phenomenal town.

In closing, the good news is that I have a significant amount of stock that I need to sell before Christmas. The majority of stock was returned to sup-pliers, but I do have lots of Pet Doors and a few iFetch left. We have doors for patio doors, wood doors, walls, sheds and glass – in all shapes and sizes.

Please refer to our website at www.holeinonepetproducts.com for more in-formation, or call me directly on (702) 816 0083. Pricing for the doors will be at cost, so there are some tremendous deals to be had.

Thank you again, Mesquite!Dianne ReidMesquite

recommended by the committee.Serving on the committee began with

David Ballweg, Mike Benham, George Gault and Karen Beardsley. Since then, they have added Adam Anderson, Bunny Wiseman, Burton Weast and Troy Jol-ley, giving the committee a well-rounded background to cover vital areas from legal language and accounting issues.

At the Sept. 13 council meeting when the initial committee was approved, Sweetin said the general public will see very little effect in operations if ap-proved, meaning it will not affect things like business licenses, fees or agree-ments already in place.

While the agenda for the committee covers a wide array of items to review and refine, they will still need to discuss vital sections regarding elections, local improvements and revenue before fi-nalizing and presenting their suggested charter to the city council on Nov. 9.

Happy birthday

Councilman George Rapson said “Deep Roots doesn’t have a dog in this fight. It reduces the radius for locat-ing facilities near the dispensary. This makes it less restrictive for adjacent property owners and actually benefits them because it reduces the restricted area.”

Council unanimously adopted or-dinance changes for business licens-ing regulations that added clarity and cleaned up archaic language and defi-nitions. Secrist also said the changes would “treat businesses in each class the same.” He put the fiscal impact of the changes at a plus-$60,000 to $70,000 for the city with most of that coming from the realignment of utilities’ fees and li-censes. “It wasn’t the goal or intent of this to increase the amount we receive from business licenses or fees. In fact, many licenses and fees went down for a lot of businesses,” he said.

Rapson originally had reservations with the changes saying “a windfall to the city is on the shoulders of someone. I’m concerned about the impact on small businesses. This is not business friend-ly.”

Secrist explained many of the in-creases in fees to small businesses were due to a realignment from one category to a more correct category for the type of business, garnering about $6,000 to $7,000 of the total increase. “Some of the businesses were misclassified so we put them in the right category. That caused the increase for most of them,” he said.

“That makes sense to me,” Rapson said after the explanation. “If most of this was not a fee increase but a reclas-sification then that’s just the cost of busi-ness.”

Changes to where people can drive Off-Highway Vehicles and golf carts

were approved unanimously by the council. “We listened to the public and made it easier for people to get from Point A to Point B,” Mesquite Police Chief Troy Tanner told the councilors. “People can drive their OHVs from their house to a recreational area and people can drive their golf carts from their house to a golf course. This does not allow them to drive these vehicles to Smiths or Walmart or the casino. State law does not allow general vehicle use for golf carts or OHVs.”

After several people complained the new travel routes weren’t enough and they wanted to drive their golf cart to Walmart or other destinations, Rapson quipped “no good deed goes unpun-ished. The police department has done a great job with this and is trying to help the community. Golf carts and OHVs are not regular vehicles.”

Hafen added “there will be people who will abuse these new guidelines. But, Chief Tanner has gone to the limit of state law with this.”

When one gentleman asked how the police would know if he’s violating the new ordinances by putting golf clubs in the back of his cart and driving to Walmart, Rapson said “Well, when you park at Walmart, or Dotty’s Tavern, or Smith’s, I think someone will notice that you’re not at a golf course.”

Tanner said the criticism that his de-partment was making it more restric-tive to use golf carts was untrue and that “you can get everywhere you want to go in the city on a golf cart. This is 100 times less restrictive than it was.”

The council also approved a liquor tasting license for Smith’s Food and Drug Center, which wants to conduct wine tastings twice a month in their store. City staff originally said the re-quest would fall under the special events permitting ordinance that limits them to twice a year. However, council rejected that notion saying in-store wine tastings are not special events.

allay a variety of ailments and symp-toms ranging from glaucoma to head-aches and sleeplessness. Deep Roots employees were on hand to explain the use of the products and advise potential users on selecting appropriate solutions including edible products.

Outside, booths were set up for visi-tors to sign up to see a medical doctor for permission slips to obtain medical mari-juana cards and forms people could use to submit their applications to the state for approval.

One political candidate running for Mesquite city council in the current elec-tion, Cindi Delaney, had an information booth available for people to learn about her candidacy.

Delaney, City Councilman Rich Green, and Nevada State Senator Tick Segerblom participated in the official ribbon cutting along with Capurro and Ryan Breedan, COO of Deep Roots Harvest. Segerblom was the driving force behind legalizing medical mari-juana in the state.

Capurro reflected on the last two and a half years when Deep Roots initially presented a plan to the city for the fa-cility. “We made promises on jobs that we would create for the community of Mesquite. We made projections on the amount of revenue that we would gener-ate for the city of Mesquite. The project looked really good on paper. The naysay-ers said our proposal was all talk, that they had heard these kinds of prom-ises before and that we wouldn’t deliver. They questioned our ethics and doubted our ability. They said the project would lower property values and increase crime within the community.

“Today is proof that Deep Roots Har-vest has kept its promise. I want to thank the naysayers for providing the fuel and oxygen to fan our flames. I want to thank the citizens of Mesquite for their enthusiasm, their support and their pa-tience as it took a bit longer to open our dispensary than expected.

“I want to thank our mayor, our city

council, city manager and his entire staff for trusting us, for believing in us, and helping us get here. They took great risk to give us the go-ahead and we are grate-ful.”

Capurro told the Mesquite Local News in a one-on-one interview that should recreational marijuana be approved for Nevada by voters in the November elec-tion his company could easily expand by 80 more employees and reach full capacity in the next couple years. Deep Roots Harvest currently employs about 50 people.

The cultivation and production facil-ity supplies about 30 dispensaries in southern Nevada and six in northern Nevada with medical marijuana prod-ucts. Should recreational marijuana be approved Capurro projects his facil-ity would double in size and production capacity. “That would also increase the amount of revenue to the city,” he said. “We’ve been working hard to get a posi-tive message out about approving recre-ational marijuana in November. We’re hopeful and optimistic about its pas-sage.”

Leslie Bocskor, a partner in Deep Roots Harvest, told the crowd gath-ered for the ribbon cutting that “throughout the country the company is building a reputation as one of the best run companies in the cannabis industry. That we now have medical marijuana available in Nevada is an incredible thing.”

“today is proof that Deep roots Harvest has kept its promise. I want to thank the naysayers for providing the fuel and oxygen to fan our flames. I want to thank the citizens of Mesquite for their enthusiasm, their support and their patience as it took a bit longer to open our dispensary than expected.”KEith CapurroCEo oF DEEP RooTS HARVEST

are able to experience the incredible natural resources Nevada has to offer, just like I did,” meaning leaving it in the hands of federal bureaucrats who have failed to manage the range to prevent wildfire and have failed to control the overpopulation of feral horses that are starving from overgrazing and jeopar-dizing other wildlife as well.

She also embraces Reid’s blind alle-giance to the not-ready-for-free-market green energy acolytes.

“As U.S. senator, I will work to ensure we are fully utilizing Nevada’s abun-dance of wind, solar, and geothermal energy resources and increase invest-ments in renewable energy technology to create green jobs here in Nevada,” she says. “I will also work to preserve and protect Nevada’s incredible public lands — a unique, valuable resource in Nevada that creates thousands of jobs and brings in millions of dollars into our state’s economy every year. We must safeguard our natural resources and stop big oil from receiving unneces-sary tax subsidies” — unlike subsidies for green energy?

When it comes to ObamaCare and its skyrocketing premiums and deduct-ibles and disappearing providers, Heck has already worked to pass legislation that would exempt residents of counties that have only one ObamaCare provider from the requirement to pay a tax pen-alty if they fail to maintain minimum health coverage under the so-called

Affordable Care Act. Ten rural Nevada counties this next year will have only one provider.

“As an emergency department physi-cian, one of the reasons I ran for Con-gress was the passage of the disastrous Affordable Care Act,” Heck says “The law has failed to meet its stated goals of increasing access to healthcare and re-ducing costs. Recent events suggest the law is having the opposite effect. Major insurers are leaving the exchanges and others are predicting significant premi-um hikes for their customers, making it anything but affordable.”

For her part, as attorney general, Cor-tez Masto refused then-Gov. Jim Gib-bons’ directive to file suit to challenge the ObamaCare law, even though she was required to do so by state law — a dereliction of duty.

Heck recently voted to delay an Obama administration Labor Depart-ment rule that would vastly increase the number of workers who would have to be paid overtime and thus cripple many small businesses and result in job losses.

Meanwhile, Cortez Masto is advo-cating that Congress should raise the minimum wage, another job crushing move.

When it comes to the Second Amend-ment, Heck has an “A” rating from the National Rifle Association, while the NRA has spent $1 million on ads oppos-ing Cortez Masto.

The old Senior Circle health program at Mesa View Regional Hospital was a popular way for

people to get health information and socialize with others in a positive setting. Now the hospital is launching a new expanded “Our Healthy Circle” program that focuses on the over-50 age group and promises to be as good or better than the previous program.

“All former Senior Circle members will be automatically enrolled in the new Our Healthy Circle program,” said Doris Baeza, marketing coordinator at Mesa View and program advisor. “We are expanding eligibility for members to those under 50 years old who are associated with

COVER STORY

someone in the program. We don’t want to leave anyone out.”

The first meeting for the program is scheduled for Nov. 3, from 5 to 6:30 p.m. in the hospital lobby. It will feature Dr. Landon Cameron with the Coral Desert Foot & Ankle clinic, who will speak about diabetic foot care.

Light refreshments, door prizes and raffles will be included for all members who attend.

The program’s focus won’t be just on health issues. Baeza is planning a shopping trip to the Galleria Mall and Trader Joe’s in Henderson for Nov. 9. The cost of the Silver Rider bus trip is $15 for seniors (age 60 and above) and $20 for all others. The bus will depart at 8 a.m. from 450 Hillside Drive, near the Quick Care clinic and will arrive back between 3:30

and 4:30 p.m. “There are 23 seats on the bus and we only have 10 left,” Baeza said.

“We’ll have a doctor or health care professional presenting information on health issues at our meetings which will be held on the first Thursday of each month,” Baeza said. “We want this to be a social event combined with an educational and aware-ness event.”

According to Baeza, there’s much more to the “Our Healthy Circle” program than just the monthly meetings or shopping trips. “Some of the perks our program offers include dental, vision, and hearing aid dis-counts at offices in Mesquite. We have a monthly newsletter that is mailed to all our members. We also have an activity room located at 450 Hillside Drive near the Quick Care clinic that allows members to use a computer with Internet access, a copy machine, a fax machine, a shredding bin and a small library for people to either borrow or donate books.”

Baeza said the membership cost is $15 for one person per year or $27 for two people per

year. “We have about 300 active memberships now and we’re looking to expand that,” she said. “We have 12 ambassadors that help out with our program and we’re always willing to have more. We would also like local businesses to know they can of-fer discounts or other amenities to our members through this program.”

Should a “Our Healthy Circle” program member be hospital-ized at Mesa View they will receive a complimentary private room upgrade, complimentary meal plans, and hospital cafete-ria discounts. Members can also receive discounts at all pharma-cies in Mesquite through the ScriptSave Prescription Savings Program associated with the “Our Healthy Circle” program.

“We are also looking to expand the wellness and fitness portions of our program,” Baeza said.

For more information about joining the “Our Healthy Circle” program at Mesa View Regional Hospital contact Doris Baeza at 702-345-4363 or email [email protected].

More than 10,000 people in the United States turn 65 years old every day, according to the U.S. Department of Health & Human

Services. This growth in the aging popula-tion has led to an increased number of people who care for loved ones in their homes.

“While many people are happy to take care of aging loved ones, playing this caregiver role can still be physically, mentally and emo-tionally draining,” says Jill Turner-Mitchael, senior vice president, Sam’s Club Consum-ables and Health and Wellness. “As a result, it can be easy for caregivers to forget about caring for themselves at times.”

To help, Turner-Mitchael and the Sam’s Club Pharmacists are offering time-saving, stress-reducing tips to help caregivers sup-port their loved ones while also maintaining their own well-being.

• Focus on food and fitness. Maintain a healthy, energy-boosting diet that includes organic fruits and vegetables, lean protein and vitamins. Try to stay active, as well. To keep yourself accountable, consider using a wearable device that tracks your daily diet and activity level.

• Log on. To save time and effort, shop on-line when possible. In today’s digital world, it’s easy to get everything you need with the click of a button. Companies like Sam’s Club provide everything from groceries to person-al care products online for those who don’t have time to make it into a club.

• Give yourself a break. Convene a fam-ily meeting to discuss any challenges that you’re facing and see what others can do to lighten your load. Identify someone who can fill in for you for periods of time, so you can take breaks outside of the home to relax and refresh. Doing so will likely help you return to your role with even more energy.

• Seek support. Find a caregiver support group that can help you make connections with others who understand your perspec-tive. Seek out other existing resources that are designed to support caregivers, as well.

For example, Sam’s Club recently launched a new program for family caregivers, includ-ing a dedicated webpage that helps members find the products, expert advice and savings they need to make caregiving easier. Visit SamsClub.com/caregiving or the kiosks in select locations around the country for more information.

“As the number of caregivers rises, so does the importance of offering resources that make their lives easier,” says Turner-Mitchael. “As a club of the community, we

are working to do just that, so caregivers can focus on what is most important – the health of their loved ones and themselves.”

• Engage your employer. Around 42 million Americans act as caregivers while also work-ing outside of the home, according to AARP. If you are juggling work and home respon-sibilities, ask your manager about perks or policies that may help you find balance, such as flexible work schedules, emergency time off or on-site eldercare.

Neglecting your own health does no one any favors, so don’t let caregiving mean the end of self-care. With the right resources and resolve, rest assured that you can provide the best care possible while also maintaining your own health.

If you’re like many Americans, you may spend substantial time and energy on gen-eral financial planning while overlooking the various ways life insurance may fit into that plan. Life insurance has wide-ranging benefits for people of all ages that you should consider, say experts.

“There is a significant opportunity for life insurance to help you achieve financial security during any age of saving, and for the many concerns you face throughout your lifetime,” says Andrew Bucklee, senior vice president and head of Insurance Solutions Distribution for Lincoln Financial Distribu-tors. “It should be part of most consumers’ long-term financial plan.”

Learn more about how life insurance can help you protect your financial security. Here are a few things to consider.

• If you only associate life insurance with

helping address funeral expenses or estate planning, take note, depending on the type of policy, life insurance can potentially be used to protect against concerns like retirement savings, loss of household income due to ill-ness, children’s college tuition expenses and long-term care in retirement. What’s more, life insurance can be used as an overarching vehicle for wealth protection.

• Some carriers are stepping up their technology to make life insurance easy to research, purchase and manage in the same way you may have come to expect from other businesses in today’s digital world. Lab free underwriting, electronic policy delivery op-tions and telephone application processes are all a reality in today’s marketplace, and are eliminating much of the time consuming paperwork and correspondence typically associated with obtaining a life insurance policy.

• Each generation has a different set of financial priorities. Younger generations are focused on paying off student loan debt or credit card debt. For Baby Boomers, one of the greatest worries is the cost of healthcare in retirement, with 66 percent citing that as a pressing concern in a recent study by Lin-coln. Because life insurance can potentially help address all these concerns, people of all ages should evaluate their life insurance options.

“Studies show that people are beginning their financial planning sooner, which is great to see,” says Bucklee. “No matter what your age, it’s important to fully un-derstand your life insurance options avail-able through both financial advisors and workplace benefit packages. Advisors and employers are great resources that can help individuals unleash the full potential of life insurance.”

Warm weather means not having to wake up extra early to scrape your windows or shovel your vehicle out of the snow to get to work on time. As welcoming as the sun may be, it’s important to be keen on its dangers.

Many Americans associate the sun with barbecues, visits to the beach or just being outside in general. Of course, some Americans never worry about a cold-weather season because they live in climates where it’s warm year-round.

No matter where you live, it’s important to enjoy the sunny weather while also protecting yourself. Wearing proper sunscreen will ensure fun in the sun without damaging your skin.

Why WeAr SunScreen?Skin is the largest organ in your body. It protects internal organs,

regulates your body temperature and absorbs vitamins to repair dam-age. The importance of protection should be taken very seriously.

A good way to protect your skin on sunny days, is to generously ap-ply sunscreen. Sunscreen uses several ingredients to create a barrier between your skin and the sun.

The American Cancer Society estimates that more than 75,000 cas-es of melanoma (skin cancer) will be diagnosed in the United States in 2016. Melanoma rates have been increasing over the last 30 years. The average age of diagnosis if 63, but it is not rare to have a diagnosis in someone younger than 30, especially young women.

Which SunScreen to chooSeIf you know what to look for in a sunscreen, protection from the

sun can be easy. Most sunscreens will protect against UVB rays, which are the main cause of skin cancer. Certain sunscreens will advertise a “broad spectrum” protection. This is the type to purchase. That’s because these products protect against UVB and UVA rays, which also are known to cause melanoma.

Remember that water-resistant doesn’t meant waterproof. The American Cancer Society says to read the fine print on a bottle that makes this claim. It will specify whether it lasts 40 or 80 minutes while swimming or sweating.

Another factor to consider in your sunscreen is the SPF, which stands for sun protection factor. The SPF number is the level of protection against UVB rays. A good level to have is SPF 30, as it will filter around 97 percent of UVB rays.

Why sunscreen is good for you

Parents care for and guide children into adulthood. But as parents age, sometimes the roles are reversed.

Establishing a plan will help everyone feel more at ease about the years ahead. Here are four common concerns you may face with aging parents and tips to manage each conversation.

PlAn living ArrAngementSMulti-level homes and complicated floor

plans can make everyday living difficult and dangerous for seniors. However, convinc-ing parents to move into a more manageable home or assisted living may be tough. Sug-gest the transition early, while parents are still active to help them ease into the idea. If they insist on staying put, consider homec-are and installing assistive equipment, like handrails.

FocuS on the roAdDriving can be a sensitive topic because for

many, it’s a key part of remaining indepen-dent.

Take 90-year-old Vivian Cash who started driving in 1949. While always priding herself on her safe driving -- in fact, she’s never had an accident — she recently pulled into her driveway and stopped too close to a tele-phone pole, ultimately needing help moving her car. That was when she decided it was time to stop driving.

“If I’m driving and I had a problem, I could hurt someone or myself. It just isn’t worth it,” explained Cash.

Of course, not everyone will be willing to hang up their keys, so approach the topic before noticeable problems surface, such as with vision or dexterity, and agree to certain warning signs that might indicate it’s time to rethink transportation.

When it is time for parents to stop driving, help them map out ways to get to all their activities.

uPdAte imPortAnt documentSMost people don’t like discussing wills and

life insurance. As a result, they’re often writ-ten and not revisited. However, both need to be updated periodically, especially when major life changes take place, like marriage, death or divorce.

Ensure your parents have a will that’s been updated in the past five years. If not, it should be revised to reflect their current wishes. Establish who will be in charge of executing the details, and determine where documents will be stored.

Any updates to wills need to be reflected in life insurance policies, since beneficiaries take precedence over whatever the will speci-fies. Consider working with a trusted advisor who offers both life insurance and retirement planning, such as an Erie Family Life insur-ance agent, to ensure parents and family members are covered for the future every

step of the way.

gAther FinAnciAlSFinances need to be discussed -- from

retirement planning, debt consolidation and payment to logistics like where important documents are placed (digital and hard cop-ies). Even if parents don’t want to divulge all their information, getting a general sense of the situation will make things easier when decisions need to be made.

Help your parents create a list of bank, ben-efits, pension and other accounts, as well as usernames and passwords. Keep this infor-mation in a safe place, such as a fire-resistant safe. Know where items like tax files, car titles and the key to the safe are kept.

Aging isn’t easy. Address everything now to leave your family at ease for the changes ahead.

Before computers, medical data was stored in paper files. These days, al-most everything is gathered, analyzed and transmitted electronically. This means your personal information be may be prone to cyber attacks.

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) provides data privacy and security provisions for safeguarding medical information. This includes the HIPAA Privacy Act that gives you several different ways to ensure your medical data is being used and secured safely.

your hiPAA rightSHIPAA grants you several benefits when it comes to finding health

coverage. It can assist you in gaining coverage when starting a new job and lessen your chance of losing your existing care.

Here are a few different benefits you have under the HIPAA Privacy Act:• Getting a copy of your medical record;• Getting a notice about how your personal medical data is being shared;

and• Filing a complaint if you think your rights have been violated.

Security StePS you cAn tAkeWhile you may not be able to set the level of security devoted to your

medical data, there are still proactive ways you can approach your safety. Regularly checking your credit can give you indications that your

personal information has been compromised. The sooner you see your in-formation being misused, the sooner you can take corrective steps to regain control of your credit.

Your Social Security number is one of the most important pieces of information that needs to remain private. If compromised, someone else can open credit card accounts, apply for loans and even gain access to your bank accounts.

The best ways to prevent someone else from gaining access to your SSN include: keeping your card in a safe place (at home, not a wallet), frequently checking your accounts for fraudulent activity and using an identity pro-tection service.

tAke controlWhile you may think leaving your data in the hands of your medical

professionals means it’s protected, it may not be in your best interest. Doc-tors are in charge of many different records, which can mean unintentional mistakes. Do yourself a favor and check up on your medical records to avoid errors.

How Important is foot kealth?The American Podiatric Medical

Association states that your two feet contain more than 50 bones, 60 joints and 200 muscles, tendons and liga-ments that work in unison.

All those moving parts and your feet still can handle the stress of your busy day. That should be enough to get you to provide proper care.

Being further away from your heart than any other body part also may cause your feet to incur issues. Certain dis-eases, such as peripheral arterial disease, can slow down your heart’s attempt to pump blood to your feet because of a buildup of plaque in your blood vessels.

common Foot conditionS Take a look below at some of the

common conditions your feet may ex-perience and learn what causes them. The good news is that a podiatrist can give you advice to prevent these and many other conditions.

• Athlete’s foot: A fungal infection commonly found in areas where many people walk around barefoot. Sweaty feet are more likely to catch this infec-tion.

• Ingrown toenail: A toenail that pierc-es a person’s skin causing inflammation and infection. Wearing tight-fitting shoes or the same pair of socks without wash-ing causes the skin to become moist and weaken, allowing the nail to penetrate more easily.

• Verrucae: Warts that are usually found on the soles or near toes on the feet. Again, caused by moist environ-ments such as swimming pools and locker rooms.

BeneFitS oF A PodiAtriStYour podiatrist can be helpful in any

foot pain emergency. He or she also can assist in encouraging preventive mea-sures so you have a much lower risk of experiencing these issues.

From gait analysis to selecting the proper size and fit of your footwear, your podiatrist can point you in the right direction for healthy feet for life. Reach out to your local podiatrist to set up your consultative appointment today. Your feet will thank you.

A trip to the grocery store can be stressful if you’re not properly pre-pared. Impulse buys may induce bad shopping decisions. Learn how to prevent making these deci-sions and stick to healthy meals for yourself and your family.

A busy lifestyle can get in the way of healthy meal prepara-tion. Sometimes the convenience of packing a lunch with a quick sandwich and some chips can be tempting. Consider some health-ier alternatives and set aside a few hours to prepare healthy meals and snacks for the week.

Planning a smart grocery list is a great way to set yourself up for a healthy week of eating.

Stick to your liStBefore you embark on your

shopping trip, do your research. Find your store’s weekly ad, look for healthy sale items and create your weekly meals from there. Having this list will make grocery shopping more efficient

and greatly reduce the time you spend there.

heAlthy hot SPotSIf you have paid attention to

the layout of most grocery stores, you’ve probably noticed that the healthier choices are located around the perimeter. There, you will find the fresh produce, meats and dairy sections. Shopping the perimeter first will load your cart with healthy choices and make it easier to avoid packaged, processed foods found in the middle of the store.

keeP it FreShWhen planning your healthy

shopping trip, avoid processed foods and spend a little more on fresh items. Processed foods are loaded with preservatives in or-der to provide a longer shelf life. For instance, the meat that your butcher slices daily has much lower levels of sodium nitrite than that of the prepackaged meats that arrive frozen.

Times have changed at Virgin Valley, and it’s not just because there’s a new TARDIS around. A new play has rolled around at the Virgin Valley Theater of Technical Arts at the high school, and this time it’s a variation of Alice in Wonderland and Doctor Who. So, if you hap-pen to be a Whovian, or a Wonderland fanatic, this play is for you.

It has characters from the iconic Wonderland story and the age-old BBC television show Doctor Who. The Doctor is played by newcomer Noah Hilker, and the beautiful and very British Cara, is played by Hai-ley Thomas. The Mad Hatter, an iconic character from Alice in Wonderland, is played by Hunter Moore, and characters like the March Hare and the Dormouse, are played by Melissa Rowley and Sarah Rappleye. The fa-mous, awesome, beautiful Red Queen, is played by the gorgeous and talented Emerald Hall. It is sure to be a funny and fantastic show.

Director Kelly Zarndt said, “The script is a wonder-ful combination of the two stories, and the cast is really

starting to fill the shoes of the characters.” As funny and as outgoing as this play is, it also has great morals and a terrific storyline. While you learn that it’s good to stay away from strangers and mad hatters, you also learn that loyalty and friendship are the true values that ev-eryone should care about.

Hilker said, “It’s an interesting story with a new twist on the franchise. The play is funny, has great acting, and was well planned.”

Set for Nov. 3, 4, and 5, with curtain call at 5:30 p.m. the cast and crew have prepared heavily and have been ex-tremely focused on being ready for the big night. Thom-as said, “The play should be funny and since it’s a com-bination of my two favorite stories, I am super excited to play such a vital character. Anyone who has seen either show will appreciate the crossover.” She goes on to say that everyone who wants a laugh and have a good time will enjoy how much work everyone has put into it.

“I am so thankful to be in this show and getting to be with these awesome nerds every day. I couldn’t have asked for a better cast. I love these guys!” says a very excited Hall, playing the Red Queen. The show starts with the crash landing of the TARDIS on Wonderland.

As the Doctor and Cara try to fix their ship, Cara gets whisked away by the White Rabbit, and the Doctor, a sharp witted and intelligent man, needs Cara to help him fix their ship. She gets caught up in the cruelty of the Red Queen, and while he goes on a wonderful search for her, gets dragged into the fight as well.

Using his wit and fast mouth, he unsuccessfully tries to talk his way out of the sticky situation. This only seems to make matters worse as the Red Queen declares them all traitors and sets the execution for the following day. In a mad stroke of luck, they escape the Queen’s Palace and get the ship running, leaving Wonderland wiser and closer than before. Alyson and Rachel Cook, twin sisters and the corresponding parts of tweedeldee and tweedeledum say, “The Doc-tor in Wonderland is a whimsical tale of two awesome worlds colliding with lots of humor.” Alyson Cook said she mostly enjoys getting to come and express herself creatively on stage in a way that makes every-one laugh. Rachel Cook says that she loves being able to come to a place where she is accepted for who she is, and where people have fun and appreciate her and her part.

Note: This article was originally pub-lished by Bo Bingham, the current man-aging partner for Bingham Snow & Caldwell’s Mesquite office. We decided to re-publish it as a “classic” with up-dates due to the many inquiries we re-ceive regarding the mechanics of a full probate in Nevada, which is often far more involved than many other states and definitely more involved than peo-ple think.

Smaller estates, meaning the assets of individuals who pass away with rela-tively few assets, may qualify for a sim-pler form of “probate” such as using a small estate affidavit or an “estate set aside” (discussed in previous articles). However, when those options aren’t available and when steps to avoid pro-bate haven’t been taken (such as the cre-ation of a trust, execution of deeds upon death, etc.), the formal probate process with some form of court oversight is generally required. This article provides a basic road map for those heirs who face the prospect of full, or as we lawyers like to call it, formal probate.

A deceased person’s (called the de-cedent) property and assets are legally held in their name and death does not change this status. Thus, the decedent’s heirs don’t have the legal authority to sell, give away, or otherwise use the property after the decedent’s. For exam-ple, heirs can’t walk into the bank, tell the bank teller that mom or dad passed away, and then withdraw the money from the account. The bank teller won’t even tell heirs the balance of the account, let alone release any of the funds and no amount of tears, smiles, or winks will change this impasse.

Since, as a practical matter, a dead per-son can’t do much with their estate, Ne-vada law empowers the probate courts to transfer ownership from deceased persons to their heirs who, in theory at least, will put the estate to productive use. Thus, in order to start withdrawing money and selling property, heirs must first request and receive permission and authority from the probate court. When the net value of a person’s assets totals $125,000 or more, a full or formal probate will be required. This process is started by filing a probate petition describing, among other things, the deceased per-son’s assets and debts. The petition will also ask the court to appoint a personal representative (a.k.a. executor) for the estate. The executor will often be a fam-ily member or person named in the de-cedent’s will.

If the petition is approved, the court will provide certain documents to the personal representative called “Letters Testamentary.” These documents prove that the personal representative has au-

thority to legally act on the deceased per-son’s behalf (or really on behalf of the de-ceased person’s estate) to gather assets and ensure that the estate is protected against waste and loss. The Letters Tes-tamentary can be provided to that pesky bank teller, for example, who will then know that the personal representative is authorized to act on behalf of the estate and has authority from the court to ac-cess the account.

However, even with the Letters Tes-tamentary, the personal representative cannot transfer the person’s assets to the heirs or beneficiaries so tell them to put off the vacation to Fiji for a few more months. The decedent’s creditors must first be given notice of the death so they can attempt to collect whatever money they can from the estate. One of the per-sonal representative’s most important du-ties may end up negotiating settlements with the creditors who may, depending on the size of the estate and the type of debt, settle for considerably less than the face value of the decedent’s debts.

After the notice is provided, the credi-tors will have 90 days to formally make a claim against the estate. However, af-ter the 90 days have passed, any credi-tors that did not make a claim will for-ever lose any right to get paid. If there is anything good about probate, it is that it provides some finality. Once the 90 days have passed, the heirs can rest easy knowing that a creditor won’t come knocking on their doors two years later. After the creditors have an opportunity to make any claims, the personal repre-sentative will provide appropriate docu-mentation to the court, pay off any valid debts, and transfer the rest of the assets to the heirs or beneficiaries as set forth in the will or—if there is no will—pursu-ant to Nevada’s intestate (i.e. “no will”) rules of inheritance.

As you can see, even with this brief summary, probate can be a somewhat complicated and lengthy process. Having a road map of what will occur and how it works can make things a little easier.

The Virgin Valley High School football layoff game between the Dawgs and Sunrise Mountain will be a rerun of an earlier 3A Sunrise League matchup. The Bulldogs won a hard fought game on Sept. 20 (21-14). The teams were tied at the half 14-14 before the Dawgs scored the final touchdown for the win.

The Miners finished the season with a 2-3 league record and 3-6 overall for the season. The Bulldogs should set records aside as the Miners bring in a potent offense with more than 3,700 total yards. The Miners are led by quarter-back Stephen Wright who has passed for approximately 2,100 yards and 22 touch-downs. He spread his passes amongst four receivers led by Tyree Hayes with 43 catches, Xavier Kyles and Daltyn Petrys-son added 33 catches each.

The Miners rushing attack is also dan-gerous as the Miners ran for more than 1,600 yards during the regular season. The Miners are led by Trayvon Ward with 526 yards plus three other potent runners. The Miners lost their final outing to Cheyenne High School 52-49 in a shootout. Miners coach Chris Sawyers, a former Bulldog coach, brings his vaunted pistol to the Dawg Pound in hopes of moving on in the playoffs.

The Bulldogs will counter with a strong running game of their own plus a stalwart defense that slowed down Moapa Val-ley and Chaparral High Schools’ strong offenses in recent weeks. Jayden Perkins leads the Bulldog ground game with over 1,100 yards on the season. The key again will be the kicking of Cesar Zarate who has 13 point afters and 4 field goals this season.

The Bulldog defense will need to have their A game on the field to stop the Min-ers attack. The Dawgs defense has given up only 14 touchdowns in their last 8 games. Don’t expect a 52-49 score in this game as the Dawgs will slow it down and eat the clock with their ground game.

Bulldog coach Yori Ludvigson said, “We are excited to be 8-1 heading into the playoffs and obviously pleased having home field advantage. We beat Boulder in an ugly game but now have to take care of business the next three weeks to get to the state championship game. The kids are prepared and we just have to do it now.”

The Virgin Valley High School football team notched its eighth win in a roll Friday night, Oct. 21, defeating Boulder City, 25-13, in a surprisingly close score. The Eagles had been blown out in recent games and had nothing to lose in their season finale.

The Dawgs could have been looking forward to their big game Thursday night, Oct. 27, against Sunrise Mountain in the opening round of the 3A Southern Division Champion-ship.

The Eagles scored first on two field goals of 33 and 43 yards by Justin Fox. The Bulldogs got off to a slow start as the Eagles had a surprising 6-0 lead after one period of play. Bulldog running back Jayden Perkins got the Dawgs on the scoreboard 9:37 into the second quarter on a 17-yard jaunt up

the middle of the Eagles defense for a touchdown. Cesar Za-rate added the point after for the Bulldogs to take a 7-6 lead which they would never relinquish.

The Bulldogs were back on the scoreboard as Jarrett Ti-etjen hauled in a Cade Anderson pass and scooted to a 47 yard TD. Zarate’s extra point split the crossbars as the Daw-gs increased their lead to 14-6. The Bulldogs defense stopped the Eagles, giving Zarate a chance at a field goal with zero remaining on the first half clock. Zarate’s 39-yard kick was good as the Dawgs took a 17-6 lead into the locker room.

The Bulldogs scored late in the third period on a short pass from Anderson to Jesus Ruvalcaba upping the Daw-gs lead to 23-6. The point after failed with the third period coming to an end. The Bulldogs would add a safety for their final tally and the Eagles would add a TD making the final score 25-13.

Virgin Valley girls’ soccer coach Bob Snell’s goal at the beginning of the season was to repeat as 3A Sunrise League champions. His goal may be within reach after defeating Chaparral, 4-2, and Moapa Val-ley, 4-1, this week with two games remaining on the schedule. The 7-1 Dawgs hosted undefeated Tech (8-0) Monday, Oct.24, at the Mesquite Events Center. The Roadrunners dropped the Bulldogs 4-2 in late September. The Dawgs finished the regular season at cellar dweller Del Sol High School on Wednesday, Oct. 26.

Although defeating the Cowboys 4-2, the Bulldog coach was not happy with overall play of his girls. Snell said, “It was an ugly game; we had no sense of urgency. We just seemed to go through the motions. It was a win but I’m concerned about Thursday’s game.”

The Lady Dawgs scored 10 minutes in on a goal from Kennadi Ludvigson with the assist going to Ally Wright. Star striker Abbie Barnum hit consec-utive goals at the 20 and 24 minute mark of the first half giving the Dawgs a 3-0 advantage. Kallie Graves got an assist and Ludvigson got the other. The sec-ond half saw Barnum get the “hat trick” on a Graves pass for a huge 4-0 advantage. The Cowboys scored goals 10 minutes into the period and added a final

The Virgin Valley High boys’ soccer team was shut out by 3-0 Chaparral on Tuesday, Oct. 18, but kept its playoff hopes alive with a 2-1 victory over Moapa Valley Thursday, Oct. 20, keeping the “Rivals Cup” in Mesquite for another year. The Bulldogs 3-5 Sunrise League record is one better than Boulder City in fifth position.

The Bulldogs matched intensity Tuesday with the Cow-boys in the first half of play before giving up three goals in the second half of play. The Bulldogs defense kept the game tied in the first half despite the Cowboys applying great pressure. The Cowboys outshot the Dawgs 4-2 in the pe-riod but could not strike goal.

Christian Martinez had a great opportunity to give the Dawgs a lead late in the first but his goal attempt was stopped on a Cowboy save. The first period ended with a 0-0- ties. The Bulldogs Miguel Escobedo broke free at the 12 minute mark of the second period but his goal shot was blocked by the Cowboys. A minute later the Cowboys rang up their first goal on a shot by Leo Gutierrez. Gutier-rez struck goal minutes later giving the Cowboys a 2-0 ad-vantage. The Cowboys Omar Miranda finished the scoring with a goal late in the game.

Thursday’s matchup between the Dawgs and archrival Moapa Valley went down to the wire before a winner was confirmed. The Bulldogs took a 1-0 lead in the first half on a goal by Christian Martinez on an assist from Jesus Navarro. The Pirates knotted the score 1-1 early in the second period keeping pressure on the host Dawgs.

The outcome was decided late when Sergio Rodriguez hit Justin Cazares on a pass for the winning goal. The win kept the Dawgs playoff hopes alive with two games remaining.

The Virgin Valley High volleyball team was hoping to avenge an early season 3-0 shutout by the Moapa Valley High School Pirates Thursday night, Oct. 20, in the Dawg House but fell short 3-1 to their rival.

The Bulldogs had no answer for the Pirates’ front line of JaLea Blasingame and Eden Whitmore who made huge kills time after time to keep the Dawgs at bay. The first two games were close as the Pirates won the first set 25-20 and the Dawgs retaliated winning the second set 25-14. The next two sets were all Pirates as they won 25-19 and 25-15.

The Dawgs fell behind early in the third set 20-11 as the Pirates were domi-nating the net. The Lady Dawgs rallied to close the gap to 21-17. A quick timeout by the Pirates setup their final run as Moa-pa Valley won easily 25-19. The last set was complete domination as the Pirates Whitmore had 4 kills in the first five points giving the Moapa Valley squad an early 8-1 advantage. It was clear sailing for the Pirates as they clinched the 3A Sunrise League title.

Leading the way for the Bulldogs in the match, were Emma Barnum with 9 kills and Calee Clem with 21 assists. The Bulldogs’ record fell to 5-3, good enough for third place in 3A Sunrise League standing with two games remaining. The Dawgs trail Boulder City by one

game and are likely to stay in that posi-tion going into the playoffs unless the Eagles falter badly.

On Monday, Oct. 24, the Lady Bull-dogs tuned up fo their upcoming playoff match by defeating Tech in three sets in the Dawg House. Scores were 25-22, 25-23 and 25-20.

The Bulldogs are currently tied with Boulder City for second place in league. The Dawgs faced winless Del Sol on Wednesday, Oct. 26 and the Eagles host-ed Chaparral. (Results were not avail-able at press time.) The Dawgs and the Eagles are heavy favorites giving the Ea-gles second spot in the first round of the playoffs. In that event, the Bulldogs will host either Mojave or Cheyenne who have two games remaining. That match will be at 4 p.m.

Monday night’s first set found the Lady Dawgs trailing the Roadrunners 6-10 before Bulldog coach Lori Barnum called time out. The Dawgs responded behind Bernice Fiso’s 4 kills to take a 14-11 advantage. The Bulldogs never trailed the rest of the match winning 25-22. Fiso finished with 7 kills and Calee Clem add-ed 15 assists.

The second set was another tough bat-tle for the Dawgs as they sneaked by 25-23. The Bulldogs ended the match with a 25-20 win over the stubborn Road-runners. Fiso had 15 kills for her nights work, followed by Emma Barnum with 9 kills. Clem had 36 assists for the Daw-gs.

JEAnnEttE L KEndRicK On October 25, 2016 our Mother, Jean-

nette L Kendrick of Mesquite Nevada traveled to her next des-tination with dignity and incredible strength. Her life began on October 9, 1932 in Visalia California. From there she lived in Santa Maria, San Luis Obispo , Burlingame and San Francisco Califor-nia. A graduate of San Luis Obispo High School in 1950, she strived very hard to participate in vari-ous activities such as the debate team. While working and going to college in San Francisco, she met a “fast talking Mormon Marine” whom she married November 5, 1952 in the “Little Chapel around the Corner”, Las Vegas NV.

Being an only child she wanted a large family with big Christmases. Her 5 Chil-dren, Jayne L Kendrick, Mesquite NV, Thomas R Kendrick, Salt Lake City UT, Charles F. Kendrick, Limon CO, Jackie L Kendrick, Salazar, Vieweg, (deceased) and Jeannie L Kendrick, Nothe, Cody, WY. There are now 5 Grand Children and 7 Great Grand Children.

Mother, loved life, enjoyed simple plea-sures from people to places, her newspa-pers and big billowing clouds. She had a strong conviction for her country. Loved politics and a good Martini with “extra olives.” Her laughter was infectious. Her wisdom often sought after.

Her accomplishments were amazing and her participation in the Construc-tion Industry through the Association of Women in Construction and the As-sociated Builders and Contractors was invaluable not only to the industry but also our family owned Construction Company, Kendrick Brothers Con-struction Company, Inc. SLC, Utah.

Always giving, her wish was to donate her body to Medicine. She was preceded in death by her husband, Thomas R. Kendrick of 45 years and her daughter, Jackie Lynn.

The family wishes to thank the Staff of the Beehive House Assisted Care Facil-ity and Mesa View Hospital, Mesquite NV; and Dixie Regional Hospital, St George UT for their outstanding care and friendship.

Her celebration of life will be held Thursday, October 27, 2016 at the Bee-hive House 780 2nd South at 11:30 a.m. We cordially invite all those who wish to celebrate. In lieu of flowers, Donations may be made to Mesquite Little League, Mesquite Dept. of Athletics or P.E.O. In-ternational of Mesquite.

inGE A. SmitHInge A. Smith, 91, passed away on Oc-

tober 18, 2016 at her home in Mesquite, NV. She was born on May 24, 1925 in Eckartsberg, Germany to Edmund and Luise Schwab Ros-sol. She married Guy Delman Smith in Ger-many on May 11, 1957.

Inge had a very strong work ethic. She enjoyed working for the majority of her life, and retired from the Virgin Valley Veterinary Clinic in May 2016 near her ninety-first birth-day. When she was younger, she and her husband Guy bought a farm in Indiana, and Inge spent much of her time taking care of the animals and would take in all of the passing strays. Inge was outgoing and easy to love, and spent much of her time in Mesquite going to the Senior Cen-ter making many friends. When she wasn’t working, Inge enjoyed her time crocheting. Inge was a proud member of the Grace Way Alliance Church.

Inge is survived by her son Winfried Rossol of Bad Durrenberg, Germany, her daughter Gudrun Johnson (Roy) of Mesquite, NV, her brother Detlef Schulz (Rosemarie) of Florida, two grandchil-dren, two great-grandchildren, and two great-great-grandchildren. She is pre-ceded in death by her husband Guy D. Smith.

There will be a Celebration of Life for Inge Smith at the New Destiny Church, 312 W. Mesquite Blvd. #115, Mesquite, NV on Saturday, November 12, 2016 at 2:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers make a donation to We Care for Ani-mals. The family invites you to leave a message or memory in their “Guest Book” at www.virginvallymortuary.com.

Operation Christmas Child is the world’s largest Christmas project. It uses gift-filled shoe boxes to let needy chil-dren know that they are loved and not forgotten. Operation Christmas Child reaches millions of children with a mes-sage of hope and love.

The project began in the United States in 1993 with 28,000 shoe box gifts. Since then, Samaritan’s Purse has collected and hand-delivered shoe boxes to chil-dren in more than 130 countries.

Every fall the community of Mes-quite has generously supported the project. Last year 1,661 shoeboxes were shipped from Mesquite. This year the goal is even higher.

On Oct. 28 and 29, Nov. 4 and 5 and Nov. 11 and 12, from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. OCC volunteers from local churches will staff tables outside the Mesquite Dollar Stores. Shoppers will be invited to pur-

chase one or two items from the stores to be donated towards filling shoe box gifts. A gift suggestion list will be avail-able.

First Baptist Church is the Mesquite Operation Christmas Child Drop-off Site for Shoe Box Gifts during the Na-tional Collection Week, Nov. 14 - 20. Boxes can be dropped off at 700 Hardy Way, Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. – 1 p.m. and Sunday from 2-4 p.m. From Mesquite the Shoeboxes will be transported to Las Vegas, where they start their journey to give hurting chil-dren living in desperate situations hope and the love of Jesus.

For those interested in participating in this program or with questions, please contact Mesquite’s OCC Relay Center Coordinator Leslee Montgomery at 702-540-3368, or visit www.samaritans-purse.org/occ for more information.

MESQUITE VETERINARY CLINIC, INC.

Sugar “Ray” and Judy Metz have owned and operated “Sugars” for over 25 years. In that time, they have watched families grow and expand. Many of their customers to-day are the children and grandchildren of their first customers in 1991. Their young-est born, Rick, is a graduate of Moapa Val-ley High School, while their granddaugh-ter, Kayla, is a graduate of Virgin Valley High School.

Sugar formed Sugar’s Golf Club based at Sugars Homeplate soon after opening the restaurant. In the next few years, Sugar Ray and Chuck Hackleman co-founded the Palms Men’s Golf Association, which would later become the Mesquite Men’s Golf Association. The family’s love of golf has led them to sponsor both MVHS and VVHS golf teams along with multiple charity tournaments.

The restaurant shares a wealth of varied sports memorabilia from pennants and post-ers to jerseys, bats and many other collectibles.

The very best thing they offer is a deli-cious and varied menu. Breakfast, Lunch and dinner is served all day Tuesdays through Sundays. They take pride in their specials, some of which are their mothers’ original recipes. They are happy to substi-tute ingredients in recipes to accommo-date your special dietary needs. In this day of ‘gluten free, fat free and low carb,’ they offer many substitutions to please their customers.

Through the years when not working, Sugar has filled his days with golf and coaching his son’s teams. Judy has filled her free time with being on various com-mittees and boards to help the community, including the Moapa Valley Fire District, Volunteer EMT at Station 74, Moapa Val-ley Town Advisory Board, Clark County Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan, Mesquite Resort Association, Mesa View Hospital Steering Committee, Moa-pa Valley Strategic Planning Committee, and the Overton Power District Board.

Visit us at www.sugarshomeplate.com for further information. We are open Tuesday through Saturday from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. and on Sundays from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. at 309 South Moapa Valley Blvd in Overton where the mural of Sandy Kaufax, Maury Wills and Kurt Warner will greet you!
