Big crowds for Pioneer Day paradeBy Collin Anderson

Saturday afternoon, Panaca was abuzz with activity due to the Pioneer Day Celebration. Cars and folding chairs lined Main Street as hundreds of residents and visitors joined in the yearly event, their numbers boosted by the multiple family reunions that graced this small town.

One reunion, put on by the Wadsworth family, numbered over 160, making the turnout for the parade even more im-pressive. While the weather threatened to dampen the cele-bration, it never fell, and all that attended were able to enjoy the floats without threat of a down-pour.

He said they “got hit pretty hard up there again, but did not cause any significant damage, and it was being cleaned up by road crews.”

Brad Lloyd with NDOT in Panaca, said the Caselton Road sustained some “pretty good shoulder damage” which was being assessed Tuesday morn-ing.

Caliente teen completes Eagle Scout project at Oak Springs SummitLCR

When it came to selecting his Eagle Scout project, Troop 516 Boy Scout Chance Christensen turned to the Bureau of Land Management’s Caliente Field Office.

“I was looking for a project when Scoutmaster Nick Pay told me the field office wanted to install a kiosk at the Oak Springs Summit Trilobite Site,” the 15-year-old said last Wednesday.

Located just off U.S. High-way 93 about 12 miles south of Caliente, the popular public site is rich with the fossil remains of six types of trilobites that thrived when Nevada was a shallow ocean.

“Chance first went to the trilobite site when he was in elementary school so he was excited to be able to contrib-ute,” said Janeal Christensen, Chance’s mother.

With guidance from his

father Cody, then 14-year-old Chance fabricated and con-structed the tubular steel kiosk erected at the site in late April. He also designed the kiosk’s in-terpretive materials.

“I’ve never had anybody learn welding so easily and quickly,” Mr. Christensen said. “He ran some practice beads. Then I

Drug arrest in calienteBy Dave Maxwell

A Caliente man, Albert Livreri, 68, was arrested for parole violations at his home in mid-July by probation officers from Ely.

Sheriff Kerry Lee said the arrest was made pursuant to a parole probation search and officers recovered two of what is called an “8-ball” of metham-phetamines and some other drug para-phernalia.

Lee said an 8-ball is “what they call a small amount, eight grams (1.6 tea-spoons), but enough for sale,” so Livreri might be charged with sales and/or traf-ficking and distribution, however that was not confirmed by the district attor-ney’s office.

Livreri was booked into the Lincoln County Detention Center and was due to be arraigned in Meadow Valley

Justice Court be-fore Judge Mike Cowley July 26.

The Sheriff explained that “persons on pro-bation or parole have signed cer-tain rights away and can be con-tacted by their parole officer, un-

announced, 24/7, and undergo a search and seizure of the residence.”

The probation officers in Ely cover White Pine, Eureka and Lincoln Coun-ties.

In this case, Lee said, the officers came to Livreri’s home to do a routine check and in the process discovered the ille-gal substances and paraphernalia in his possession.

two rescued after being stranded overnight on corn creek RoadBy Dave Maxwell

A Las Vegas man and his elderly mother were stranded overnight July 16 on Corn Creek Road, also known as Alamo Road.

County Sheriff Kerry Lee said Alan Chandler and his 87-year-old mother, name not given, both of Las Vegas, had been driving along the Corn Creek road Saturday, when their 2016 Toyota Fore-runner got stuck in the “poof dirt” that has been in the news lately.

He said a cell phone call to 911 about 7 a.m. was received from a man request-ing assistance to be towed out where his vehicle had gotten stuck “somewhere on what they called the Alamo Road” in the area of Desert National Wildlife Refuge.

Deputies were sent to the area, and ini-tially did not locate the Chandlers, but later using a patrol truck pickup with a higher under clearance did locate the pair who were in good condition, and returned them to Alamo. “We’ll take the people to safety,” Lee said, “but it is up to them to ar-

range to have their vehicle towed out.”Chandler said while driving on the

road Saturday he got stuck in the “poof dirt” and they had to stay in the car all night. In the morning, he was able to hike to a higher elevation where he could find cell service. Lee said, “This couple was extremely fortunate.”

Previously published reports have warned about people going on recre-ational outings to avoid that area.

Wildlife agency officials say the road is “very hazardous” on one particular stretch in the northern part of the 1.6 million acre refuge, about half of which is in Lincoln County.

“The road has turned to powder where it crosses Desert Dry Lake and the chances of getting stuck there are very good,” said Christy Smith of the Desert Wildlife Refuge complex.

county renews contract with voting machine company By Dave Maxwell

Not wanting to break a 14-year re-lationship with a reliable company, County Clerk Lisa Lloyd told county commissioners July 17 she is going to renew the contract to remain with the current company that provides voting machines to the county.

Lloyd said she had been looking at other companies for a while, but after learning of the new products available with New York-based Dominion Vot-ing Systems, she was going to stick with what has been working well. “The cus-tomer service we have had with Domin-ion is hands-down the best, and that’s life or death out in this rural area.”

The clerk’s office is purchasing 23 new machines, approximately 35 iPad tablets, privacy screens, the counting equipment and the computers needed to run the counting equipment and more.

The cost to the county is expected to be $150,000, but Lloyd said if approved for a state grant she is applying for, the cost might only be $75,000.

Lloyd said she really liked the features and ease of operation on one of the other systems she was considering, “but when I saw Dominion’s new system, to me it

was kind of a no-brainer because it’s so close to what we are already doing that I don’t think the learning curve is going to be as steep.”

The goal is to have the equipment in place and ready for use in the 2018 mid-term elections.

“Our voters are already used to voting a certain way and it’s almost identical,” she said.

Dominion’s history spans more than 100 years with roots all the way back to 1895 and the invention of the first Direct Recording lever machines in New York.

Included in the new system will be electronic poll books. “That will be a huge change for voters,” Lloyd said. “What that means is that the voter comes to check in and instead of all the paper that everyone is used to, now it will lit-erally be a kiosk that includes the laptop that faces the poll worker and something similar to an iPad tablet faces the voter. The poll worker keys in your name and information comes up on the tablet, you confirm the information, address and such, and then sign it right there. Every-thing is maintained electronically and transferred immediately into our system. It streamlines things quite a bit and will eliminate a whole lot of work for us.”

has also warned of driving out there. “On the west side of the dry lake is a sec-tion that vehicles are just getting stuck in the sand too deep to drive out.”

He noted there is no, or very limited cell service in the remote area, no water, and slim chances of being found quickly.

Vinson said, “The Alamo road is a very touristy road, lot of people go down it just to do off-roading, but the road also goes through that stretch of the dry lake and you can’t get off it. We are wanting to warn people of conditions out there that may not be suitable for those who are

not prepared. Nobody really anticipates getting stuck, and with the temperatures being as hot as they have been lately, a person needs to be aware.”

He said people from both Lincoln and Clark County do go there for recreational driving. “From the Pahranagat Refuge, you can drive on the Alamo Road all the way to the Desert Refuge Visitors Center at Corn Creek. It’s about 72 miles. But you are not allowed to take ATVs on refuge lands and you have to stay on the existing road.”

Vinson said for anyone venturing along the Alamo Road, take plenty of water, a spare tire and recovering equip-ment, such as a jack, a wench, a come-along, or a buddy in a second vehicle that you could hook up to and pull yourself out if you do get stuck.

caliente blood drive successfulBy Mary Cordle

The Caliente Community Blood Drive had a good turn out, with 24 pints col-lected.

This is up from the last blood drive. Organizers gave a big thank you to all those who donated, to the Methodist Church who allows the use of Gray Hall

for this event, United Blood Service and to the people who took their time to call and get people signed up and helped during donations. None of this could be done without each of these people who took time out of their work day to come in and donate.

The next blood drive is planned for February.

Another public pension warning flag raisedResearchers at the Mercatus

Center at George Mason Uni-versity have published their annual “Ranking the States by

Fiscal Condition,” and Nevada ranked a respectable 14th among the states in overall fiscal health and accountability.

The study ranked each state based on short- and long-term debt and other obligations, such as unfunded pensions.

The unfunded pension debt is where the warning flag was raised.

“Nevada’s trust fund solvency is ranked among the lowest in the coun-try,” the report states, ranking Nevada 45th in the nation, down from 44th a year ago. “Unfunded pension obliga-tions, on a guaranteed-to-be-paid basis, are $65.87 billion, or 54 percent of state personal income.”

That underfunded obligation amounts to $86,500 per household in Nevada.

Were the economy to hit another bump, Nevada taxpayers would be on the hook for writing pension checks that are the richest in the nation, according to the American Enterprise Institute.

AEI found that the average Nevada Public Employees’ Retirement System (PERS) pension is drawing — $64,000 a year or more than $1.3 million in lifetime benefits. That doesn’t include public-safety workers, such as firefight-ers and police, who can retire earlier and generally have higher salaries,

especially in Nevada.The average Social Security annual

benefit is $16,320.Nevada Policy Research Institute

has posted at its TransparentNevada.com website the pensions paid in 2015, which lists more than 1,500 public em-ployee pensioners drawing more than $100,000 a year.

For years we have called for public employee pension reform, such as putting new employees into a defined contribution system such as the 401(k)s used in the private section. Public workers would be able to watch their savings grow and take it with them should they move on.

A few reform bills have been intro-duced in the Legislature but all have died at the hands of lawmakers who themselves are PERS beneficiaries.

Over the years PERS benefits have ratcheted up by virtue of incremental benefit increases, collective bargaining gains, earlier retirement age, allowing the purchase of years of service, pad-ding base pay with add-ons such as callback, standby, holiday, shift differ-ential, extra duty, hazard and longevity pay, and simple compound interest.

Nevada local governments spend four times as much as the national average on pension expenses.

Mercatus is just providing another warning, but will anyone pay attention? — TM

Police should not seize property without a conviction

thomas mitchellcommeNtary

President Trump’s Attorney General Jeff Sessions has a rep-utation as a law-and-order guy, but the plan he announced this

past week to step up civil asset forfeiture efforts skirts the law and jeopardizes order.

The plan is to reverse an Obama administration policy that restricted how often federal agencies would accept property — cash, vehicles, homes, air-planes — seized by local police agencies under suspicion it was used to perpe-trate a crime such as drug dealing. That seized property is sold and the local po-lice get 80 percent of the profits to spend as they see fit. This is called “equitable sharing.”

Sessions rationalized his policy change by saying “civil asset forfeiture is a key tool that helps law enforcement defund organized crime, take back ill-gotten gains, and prevent new crimes from being committed, and it weakens the criminals and the cartels. Even more importantly, it helps return property to the victims of crime. Civil asset forfeiture takes the material support of the crim-inals and instead makes it the material support of law enforcement, funding priorities like new vehicles, bulletproof vests, opioid overdose reversal kits, and better training.”

Often property is seized and no one is ever convicted of an actual crime. The owner of the cash or property essen-tially must prove themselves innocent in a civil court.

In a 2010 report called “Policing for Profit: The Abuse of Civil Asset Forfei-ture,” the Institute for Justice (IJ) noted that the practice provides an incentive for local police to seize property to boost their budgets.

Sessions’ revised seizure policy allows local agencies to skirt state laws that re-strict civil asset forfeitures. In 2014, the Justice Department reported $4.5 billion in asset forfeiture revenue.

In this past session of the Nevada Legislature Sen. Don Gustavson of Sparks filed a bill that would have required proof of a criminal conviction, a plea agreement or an agreement by the parties concerned before property could be forfeited. The bill died without a vote.

“Nevada forfeiture law provides paltry protection for property owners from wrongful forfeitures,” the IJ re-ports. “The government may seize your property and keep it upon a showing of clear and convincing evidence, a higher standard than many states but still lower than the criminal standard of beyond a reasonable doubt. But the burden falls on you to prove that you are an innocent owner by showing that the act giving rise to the forfeiture was done without your knowledge, con-sent or willful blindness. Further, law enforcement keeps 100 percent of the revenue raised from the sale of forfeited property.”

Still, Nevada local law enforcement of-ten engages in “equitable sharing” with federal agencies, according to IJ, which resulted in $21 million accruing to the local agencies over a decade.

There have been a number of in-stances in Nevada in which property was seized without anyone ever being charged with a crime.

In January 2013 police seized $167,000 from a man driving a motor home westbound along Interstate 80 in Elko County. A judge just recently ordered the money returned.

Over a two-year period Humboldt County deputies seized $180,000 in cash from motorists. One deputy was caught on tape telling a tourist, “You’ll burn it up in attorney fees before we give it back to you.”

The U.S. attorney’s office in Las Vegas demanded a local woman forfeit the $76,667 in salary she earned while running an office for her brother, who was later convicted of mortgage fraud. The sister was never charged. A federal judge called the forfeiture effort “the most egregious miscarriage of justice I have experienced in more than twenty years on the bench.”

This happened though the Fifth Amendment provides: “No person shall be … deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law …”

In his policy announcement Sessions admitted there can be problems with asset forfeitures, but he promised to “protect the rights of the people we serve. Law-abiding people whose prop-erty is used without their knowledge or without their consent should not be punished because of crimes that others have committed.”

That promise hardly constitutes “due process of law.”

Congress should rein in this abuse-prone practice.

In fact, Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky and Rep. Tim Walberg of Michigan have reintroduced the Fifth Amendment Integrity Restoration (FAIR) Act.

“The FAIR Act will ensure that government agencies no longer profit from taking the property of U.S. citizens without due process,” Paul said, “while maintaining the ability of courts to order the surrender of proceeds of crime.”

letter to the editordear editor,

I am a lifetime resident of the Town of Pioche, worked on many community projects and attended more meetings than I can count to better the Town. I am writing this letter in regards to a vote the people of Pioche are going to be asked to cast in the very near future as to how best handle our utilities. After attending several meeting in this regard, I feel we simply CANNOT give away our utilities. It would be adding one more nail to the coffin of our Town, as these utilities are our main means of revenue to support the Town and without them we would, in all probability, lose our two parks, green cemeteries and pool, as we would now have no income to pay for the water and upkeep of these pleasures.

We have been told that the power needs many repairs and they need to be made as soon as possible, but that is no reason to give up the ship - we figure out the best way to handle it and take care of

it. The Power District is very capable of handling the situation, but didn’t come looking for it and will do anything they can to help us fix it. We must bite the bul-let - acquire a loan or bond and sub-con-tract to the Power District to do the job.

As to the water, sewer and equipment - why would we even consider turning these over to the L.C. Water District aka Board of County Commissioners.

They have zero (0) customers and have no knowledge of how to run these utili-ties. If needed a piece of our equipment - it could be anywhere in the county or per-haps even in Mesquite or Tulle Sprangs (people, these are in Clark County - does that tell you something?).

We need to stick it out as we are, we will have local (Town) representation

and some control of our future.PLEASE DO NOT GIVE AWAY OUR

UTILITIES & FUTURE!!!!PEggy DECkERPiOChE

nDot outlines plan for 2018By Dave Maxwell

During the annual visit to the county commission meeting July 17, Sondra Rosenberg, Nevada Department of Transportation Southern District Assis-tant Director for Planning, outlined the 2017 work program and the long range plan for 2018.

She asked what were the top two priorities in the county as seen by the commissioners and also asked that they approve the work plan that was being presented by NDOT.

A summary of the statewide issues in rural counties she mentioned are pass-ing lanes, wild horses, burros, wildlife and cattle, intersections and shoulder widening.

She presented a chart showing that since 2007, according to NDOT fig-ures, 46.6 percent, nearly half, of all ve-hicle crashes in Lincoln County have been wildlife related. She did not have a breakdown of what percentage were deer and/or elk, or what percentage were wild horses or cattle.

At present, Rosenberg said, NDOT is trying to create “a more comprehensive

interactive tool called One Nevada Plan which would be online where a person could go for information about the var-ious transportation plans around the state. A lot more transparent for every-one to see, and it allows project decisions to be understood within the context of the state’s overall performance and what are certain performance measures that are dictated by the federal government.”

Looking at the 2017 projects in Lincoln County, NDOT recently completed an improvement of roadway and pedes-trian facilities along U.S. 93.

The Meadow Valley Wash Bridge, going into Caliente, is scheduled for im-provement in 2018, also the railroad sig-nal and crossing approaches in Caliente and a chip seal project on State Route 371.

The top concerns NDOT had com-plied in the workshops on Lincoln County projects included roadway im-provements on SR 319, the road from Panaca to Utah, SR 322 going out to Ea-gle Valley, and drainage issues on SR 317 close to Kershaw-Ryan State Park, with

After Boy Scout McGarren Segler led the room in the Pledge of Allegiance, last Thursday’s Caliente City Council meet-ing was underway.

First on the agenda was approving a donation of $2,000 to the Boxcar Mu-seum to repaint the exterior and the mural. A motion to approve carried. The money will come from the room tax fund.

Segler presented the final figures for the batting cage at Super Park, asking $1,300 for supplies he needed to com-plete the project. The council approved this, and it will also come from the room tax fund. As Segler was leaving, Mayor Rowe thanked him for leading the pledge

saying, “That flag is what it’s all about.”Tabled were the pay increase of 2.1 per-

cent for all city employees effective July 1, 2017 and the Interlocal Agreement, was Councilman Christensen wanted more time to research it.

Motions carried on three other items, (1) appoint Mayor Rowe to fill the va-cancy on the LC Regional Transpor-tation Commission, (2) on the Lincoln County Regional Development Au-thority and (3) on the Lincoln County Southeastern Habitat Conservation Plan Committee.

Councilman Ahlstrom said the Beau-tification Committee has opened an account for the Depot Renovation Proj-ect and has a Facebook page titled The Caliente Beautification Committee.

The Pahranagat Valley Fire District met on July 24. In Public comments, Dan Park presented information to start a Boy Scout Explorer Post for young men and women 16-20 years old. They would work with different entities in the com-munity to help the participants pursue their interests and grow in those areas. “Exploring programs are based upon five areas of emphasis: career opportuni-ties, life skills, citizenship, character edu-cation and leadership experience.”

The hope with the fire district is to take courses like intro to wilderness rescue and create high-angle rescue teams for repelling and first aid and low-angle res-cue teams for helping cars over banks and other situations.

Trish Schofield gave the ambulance report and talked about putting to-gether another EMT class within the next month to month-and-a-half. They would take the practical here and have the written part of the test taken down in Las Vegas. They also know someone who teaches how to take the written test which could prove helpful. The second gurney and the four electrical wire reels

are in the Hiko barn. Also, fixing the tin-der truck for Hiko will be arranged.

Roberta Park, Emergency Manage-ment Chair, wants to invite a Fish and Game representative and County Com-missioner Varlin Higbee to the next Pahranagat Valley Emergency Response Committee (PVERC) meeting. Waiting to finalize time and date of the meeting depending on the school scheduled drill.

Lonny Walch, Board Chairman, relayed that both the State Emergency Response Committee (SERC) and United We Stand grants were approved for Lincoln County. They were split between each of the four districts. PVFD will receive two more Honda generators from the SERC grant and some more Self Contained Breath-ing Apparatus (SCBA) bottles from the United We Stand grant. They would also like to have another certification class on the north and south end of the county. Also, there is no set policy for the process of retrieving incident reports for people. They are public record. There is also a Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) drill that is required every year that will be in the fall. Nevada Depart-

freemasons renovating Pioche propertyBy Collin Anderson

The Freemasons as an organization have existed since the beginning of our nation and from times long before that, and while the Pioche branch of the ex-tensive brotherhood is relatively young, it is still over a century old and was the eighteenth ever chartered in Nevada. Ever since their inception, this group of Masons has strived to do good and help those around them.

The most recent example of this is the service they’ve done for their kindred dead in the Freemason cemetery. The cemetery itself has quite a history. At one point between 1890 and 1900, a fire in Del Mar destroyed the records of two

full rows of those entombed there. That means that this place of rest comes with a mystery: who is buried in these two un-accounted for rows? Are there any bod-ies actually buried there, now possibly forgotten forever? We may never know, but what the Masons have decided to do is renovate the sprinkler system of the entire cemetery in an act of kindness and love that spreads to all those whose earthly remains rest there, both the known and unknown. The sprinkler system that was there before was made up of many different types of piping and sprinklers and was rarely buried more than a foot beneath the ground. This made the entire system prone to damage and leaking, wasting more than 250,000

gallons of water a year. This type of waste was not acceptable

to the Masons, so after extensive repairs, they have been able to replace the old sprinklers with something more effi-cient. But, their work does not end there. They are continuing to do repairs to their own St. John’s lodge, which was heavily damaged by a broken pipe a few years ago. But, between a $5,000 donation and their own grit, most of the lower part of the lodge has been restored. The work ahead of them is still daunting though; the ladies’ restrooms, the dining room, and the entire upper floor of the build-ing still need attention. All donations are appreciated and can be sent to P.O. box 356 Pioche, Nevada, 89043.

improvements on 319 and 322 being the top two priorities.

However, after further discussions, commissioners replaced improvements

on SR 322 for work on “Pin Ball Alley” south of Alamo on U.S. 93, and chose SR 319 from Panaca to Utah as the other pri-ority.

Work on 319 is needed because of the damage done by the heavy-hauling trucks going that way when the I-15 free-way is closed through the Virgin Valley Gorge to loads wider than 10 feet.

Rosenberg said she recently received a report asking what needs to be done to assure those alternate routes are able to handle the increased load on the road surface, but did not say what the plans might be.

The NDOT annual work program for U.S. 93 in the county has an estimated budget just under $2 million.

ment of Transportation (NDOT) would like to put up a structure at the Hiko barn

to cover sand. They want to build a tent to cover and preserve it.

Under district management, there were twelve calls in June with six billable. Around $460 was approved as write-offs from old cases in collections.

Rob Hansen also commented in public

comment that KW Ranch boys will start helping sweep the Hiko barn, check tires, start vehicles, etc. to help out in upkeep. Hansen received approval to purchase some supplies such as air compressor, battery charger, wax, sprayer, air hoses, chuck to air tires, etc.

hearings continue on Pioche utilitiesLCR

The Pioche Town Board held another public hearing on July 6 regarding the fi-nancial impact on the Pioche Public Util-ities and town budgets if the electrical system is transferred to Lincoln County Power District and the water and sewer systems are transferred to the Lincoln County Water District. A final public hearing on the issue is set for Monday, July 31 at 9 a.m. The board is asking that

all citizens attend. For a copy of the pros and cons list or any questions, residents are invited to come up to the utilities of-fice or call at 775-962-5840.

According to draft minutes provided to the LCR from the July 6 meeting, Lin-coln County Power District Manager Dave Lutrell to give a brief overview of his district’s study. In 2015 the board asked Lutrell to do an analysis on what it would take if the power district took over the power system. He was hesi-

tant for two reasons. He works for the town already and knows how many is-sues there are as well as the fact that the power district already has customers that they need to keep focus on.

If the system doesn’t transfer, Lutrell stated that the town needs to start tak-ing responsibility and fixing things up. He said he hopes the town starts to re-alize that work needs to be done. There are bad poles, and the town needs to up-grade now due to liability reasons.
