ELECTION 2016 Trump elected president after stunning victory President-elect wins Lincoln but loses Silver State By Dave Maxwell In a stunning result, Don- ald Trump was elected early Wednesday morning as the 45th president of the United States. As reported by many news agencies, it was a largely unexpected victory for the, as the Associated Press put it, “ce- lebrity businessman and po- litical novice who capitalized on voters’ economic anxieties, took advantage of racial ten- sions and overcame a string of sexual assault allegations on his way to the White House.” At the same time, Republi- cans retained control of both the United States Senate and the House of Representatives. Trump, the first person elected to the presidency with no government or military ex- perience, was able to carry all four of the major swing states that had been considered by experts to be key to his victory, or virtually out of reach. Those were Florida, Pennsylvania, Ohio and North Carolina. His victories in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin were viewed as very surprising since the Republi- can presidential candidate had not won there since the 1980s. In addition, Trump carried Ohio. No GOP president has ever won the election without winning the Buckeye State. Overall, Clinton won 16 states, and Trump won 34 states. In Nevada, Hillary Clinton won only Washoe and Clark counties, but that was all she needed to carry the state over Trump by a margin of 537,753 votes (47.89 percent) to Trump’s 511,319 (45.53 percent). Democrats took all four of the Congressional races up for grabs in this election.

Vehicle of missing Moapa man discovered north of Mt. wilsonBy Dave Maxwell
The vehicle of a Moapa man, missing since Sept. 24, was dis-covered last week north of Mt. Wilson, near the Atlanta gold mine area in Lincoln County, the far east side of Lake Valley.
Sheriff Kerry Lee reported that the 2000 white Ford F-250 pickup of Charles “Chuck” Harper, 62, was located there
Nov. 4 by a Nevada Fish and Wildlife ranger.

Photographers capture county’s beauty at fall Photo festivalBy Shayla Leavitt
Last weekend, the Lincoln Commu-nities Action Team hosted the first Fall Photo Festival. Six people, along with some family members, from Las Vegas and Utah ventured to the county to cap-ture photos of destinations throughout the county.
The event began Friday at the Caliente Depot, where participants received a warm welcome and orientation. They were provided with a map of Lincoln County that marked 13 different loca-tions, including the five state parks and five small towns.
Following this they headed out on their own and go wherever their hearts desired to freeze the beautiful, fall scenes our county has to offer.
On Saturday afternoon, the group came back together to edit and submit their favorite photos, see the work of other participants and to raffle off vari-ous prizes.
All participants said they would rec-ommend the event to a friend and would love to come again. They loved the loca-tions, yet had trouble finding some. Be-cause of this, many suggested that next year there should be more guides and tours to help participants find locations.
However, in the end, there were many memories made, new friends ac-quainted and the beauty of the county was captured.
Plans are underway for another photo event next fall and possibly this spring. Organizers thank Tillies, Eagle Valley Resort, Brandin’ Iron, Ghost Town Art & Coffee and B&C Camera for donating prizes.

big birthday bash
Four generations gathered recently for the 90th birthday celebration of Ev Hig-bee at the Alamo Ward Building Cultural Hall.
Big turnout for prayer gatheringBy Dave Maxwell
Upwards of 300 attended the Lincoln County Together, A Celebration of Mu-sic and Prayer, at the Caliente Fire Hall last Sunday.
Purposely planned just before elec-tion day, the non-denominational, all denominational service, did emphasize wisdom in voting on election day, but also for unity on other issues that have been of concern to Lincoln County resi-dents for some time.
Karen Culverwell and Sherrie Ma-thews provided prelude and postlude pi-
ano music. The invocation was given by Lay Speaker Richard Orr of the Caliente United Methodist Church. Panaca Bible Talk Church presented two vocal num-bers, a prayer was offered by Deacon Patrick FitzSimons of Holy Child Catho-lic Church in Caliente, singer Andy Rob-inson presented two songs on his guitar, LDS Stake President Paul Mathews offered the main prayer, the Bella Voce Community Choir presented two songs, including an all-sing number, and Pas-tor Becky Eizman of Trinity Assembly of God Church in Alamo gave the ben-ediction.

Dave MaxwellTabor Maxwell breaks away from Tonopah defenders in the Panthers playoff game last week. The senior quarterback will lead Pahranagat Valley into the state semifinal game against Whittell tonight at 6 p.m. in Alamo.
Panthers run past tonopah to semisBy Dave Maxwell
Tabor Maxwell used both his arm and his legs last week in the playoff game with Tonopah, “Not by design,” he said, “but because they were giving it to us.”
He completed 13 of 18 passes for 233 yards and two touchdowns, but also ran the ball an unaccustomed 21 times for 191 yards and two scores to lead the Pan-thers to a 56-22 win over the Tonopah Muckers in the Class 1A state quarterfi-nals.
Maxwell connected on TD passes to Cody Williams (71 yards) and Culen Highbe (61 yards) for Pahranagat Valley (10-0), which will host the Whittell War-riors at 6 p.m. tonight.
Maxwell said about his unusually high number of rushes in this game, “Most of them weren’t designed, they were just dropping too many guys out in the flats to guard against the pass, leaving 10-12 yards open underneath, so I took what I could get.”
Williams finished with six catches for 139 yards, and Highbe had three catches for 71 yards for PVHS. Teammate Chris-tian Higbee had 14 carries for 83 yards and two TDs. Ike Taylor and David In-gram each added a rushing score for the Panthers, who led 32-14 at halftime.
Vinny Bagarose scored three touch-downs to lead Tonopah (6-4). Bagarose had 12 catches for 209 yards and ran four times for 80 yards.
Tanner Otteson finished 20 of 25 pass-ing for 285 yards and added 70 yards rushing for the Muckers.
The Panthers started out a little slug-gish in the first quarter. However, after scoring 34 points in the first half, coach Brett Hansen said it wasn’t the offense that lacked spark. “We were doing what we wanted to, it was the defense where we were struggling tackling, didn’t wrap
up for the knockout blow, not playing fundamental football like we know how, and tackling like we teach every day in practice.”
When the Muckers did score, PVHS usually marched right down the field and scored again to keep the margin widespread.
Against Whittell (9-1) in the semifi-nals tonight, it will likely be as it was in last year’s state championship game, the Panthers’ top-rated defense against the offensive firepower of the Warriors av-eraging 60.3 points per game.
Quarterback Dismas Womack leads the team in four categories: 132.2 yards rushing per game, 109.5 yards pass-ing, 241.7 total yards per game, and 17.6 points per game. Junior running back Corey Huber, who had over 1,600 yards rushing last year, has been third second behind Womack this season, who comes into the game with 1,322 yards rushing, 26 touchdowns and 13 passing touch-downs, and sophomore Dalton Wars-wick has 965 yards and 13 touchdowns.
By comparison, Pahranagat Valley’s defense is only allowing 8.2 points per game, and has given up two or more touchdowns only twice all season.
Maxwell has thrown for 1,638 yards and 24 touchdowns his senior season. In addition, the Panthers triple-threat backfield is a powerful force by itself. Higbee, Maxwell and Taylor have a com-bined 2,123 yards rushing. Higbee 883, Taylor 639 and Maxwell 601. Both Hig-bee and Maxwell have 10 touchdowns each.
In the other regional games last week, Spring Mountain beat Beatty 44-6, Vir-ginia City beat Eureka 54-0. Spring Mountain played at Virginia City earlier today in the other semifinal.
The state championship is at Clark High in Las Vegas Nov. 19 at noon.

Lynx blank Lake Mead, Yerington up nextBy Camden Lamb
The Lincoln County High School foot-ball team plowed through Lake Mead in Panaca last Friday on its way to the state 2A semifinals.
Lincoln’s defense did what it has done several times this season, holding the opponent scoreless. This time the final score was 45-0, keeping the Lynx unde-feated on the year.
Lynx coach Rich Ottley said, “Lake Mead has improved alot over the season. I did not expect to shut them out.”
The first quarter was slow, and the only points scored was a 28-yard field goal by Lincoln’s Aldo Tiberio.
But the Lynx offense picked it up in the second quarter with three rushing touch-downs, two by Zach Rowe and an explo-sive 54-yard run by Cody Thornock.
Ottley said, “I was really impressed with Cody Thornock and Zach Rowe’s offense and Kamdon Lewis and McKin-ley O’Connor’s defense.”
In the third quarter, Landon Smith caught a 34-yard pass from Thornock for a touchdown. In the fourth quarter Smith scored two touchdowns and intercepted a pass. Coach Ottley told NevadaPreps.com, “Landon is a great all-purpose guy. Defensively, he’s great in pass coverage. He’s really fast — the fastest kid on our track team. And he’s such a dual-threat with rushing and catching passes.”
Smith leads the Lynx team in rushing, receiving, scoring and interceptions.
The semifinal game is a rematch with the Yerington Lions tomorrow in Panaca at noon. Yerington was undefeated last season and took Lincoln down in the 2015 state title game.
But the Lions are a different team this year after losing two-time MVP Reese Neville and long-time head coach Cody
Neville. This year’s team group heav-ily on its running game, with a talented string of running backs led by Michael Monahan. According to MaxPreps.com, the junior has 1,103 yards for the season on 93 carries, an average of 11.9 yards per carry. The team averages 327 yards per game on the ground and not much through the air.
The Lions are 7-1 overall and 4-1 in league play and entered the playoffs as the north’s two seed.
The team lost an overtime game at Pershing County 20-14 in October. Per-shing (6-0, 4-0) plays southern two seed Needles in the other semifinal matchup tomorrow at 1 p.m. in Lovelock.
The state title game will be Nov. 19 at Bishop Gorman in Las Vegas.

lady Panthers advance to stateBy Dave Maxwell
Beatty outlasted Tonopah in a five-set match in one semifinal of the 1A South-ern regional tournament in Alamo last Saturday, then had little-to-nothing left against Pahranagat Valley in the finals.
Panther coach Ginger Whipple said some of the Beatty players were sick to begin with. “He (Beatty coach Steven Sullivan) told me before our match he was going to sub, so I subbed also, put-ting some of our girls in different spots.”
Nevertheless, the Lady Panthers rolled over the Hornets to win the 1A Southern League title with in three sets 25-5, 25-10, 25-17. Both teams advance to the state tournament in Sparks and Reno this weekend.
In the first match of the day, Alyson Egbert’s nine kills and four assists car-ried the Panthers over the Beaver Dam Diamondbacks 25-9, 25-6, 25-12 in the Southern League semifinals.
Karley Whipple had eight kills, five as-sists and three digs for the Panthers, and
Madison Harris had six assists, five digs and three kills. Allyse Frehner added 19 assists.
In the second match, Beatty defeated Tonopah 17-25, 25-20, 25-15, 17-25, 15-13.
By advancing to the state tournament again this year, it marks the 21st year in a row for the Lady Panthers to have made it to the state semi-finals. During that same period they have won the cham-pionship a record 17 times. This will be the third straight appearance for Beatty. Their last state championship was in 1993.
The big surprise of the weekend was defending state champion Smith Valley losing 3-2 to Eureka in the first round of the Northern Regionals. Eureka then in turn lost to Owyhee 3-0 in the semi-finals.
At state on Friday in Sparks, Pahrana-gat Valley will face Wells in the first match and Beatty plays Owyhee in the second. The championship is Satur-day afternoon at Damonte Ranch High School.

lady lynx season comes to an endBy Camden Lamb
The Lincoln County High School vol-leyball team and The Meadows faced off in the southern 2A playoffs on Friday.
When they met in the regular season, the Lynx lost both matches. Coach Ken Thornock said, “They really only have one good player on their team.”
That would be outside hitter Dani Ma-son. She is six feet tall and only a soph-omore. Thornock also added, “The rest of their team was evenly matched with ours.” Going into the playoff match, the coach wanted to contain Mason.
However, the Lynx weren’t able to
keep up with Meadows in the first match and lost 14-25. The next game wasn’t any better, and Lincoln lost 10-25.
Thornock said, “I wasn’t totally pleased after the first set.’’
Lincoln stepped it up in the final game. Cameron Lloyd had 18 digs. Thornock said, “Cameron was one of the players that stood out to me. She played really good defense.”
Kendra Mathews was definitely a crowd favorite. She had five kills and seven blocks. Kailey Kelly had eight digs and four kills. Brooklyn Hafen had
Who should control the land inside sovereign states?
thomas mitchellcommeNtary
Apparently the unexpected acquittal in Oregon — on charges of illegally occupying a wildlife refuge to protest the
jailing of father and son ranchers over fires that got out of control and burned a few acres of federal public land — has emboldened one of the Bundy brothers to the point of braggadocio.
In a telephone interview this past week from his jail cell Ryan Bundy told The Washington Post that there could be protests if Obama goes ahead with plans to designate the Gold Butte area, next to his family’s Bunkerville ranch, as a national monument.
Bundy — who remains jailed while awaiting a February trial in Nevada, along with his father, three brothers and others, over the armed standoff in 2014 with BLM agents trying to confiscate the family cattle — told the Post, “The government should be scared. They are in the wrong. The land does not belong to the government.”
He warned that, as the Declaration of Independence states, the people have a right to abolish an abusive government.
The Post dismissed out of hand his arguments about who lawfully should be controlling federal public land, saying his arguments are “disputed by most mainstream constitutional scholars.”
Bundy argues that the Constitution does not grant the federal government the power to control vast tracts of land, nor
does it give the president authority to sin-gle-handedly create national monuments.
His ill-advised bluster about revolu-tion aside, there are legal scholars — perhaps not mainstream in the eyes of the Washington Post — who say Bundy and his ilk have a point.
Article IV, Section 3 of the Constitu-tion reads: “The Congress shall have Power to dispose of and make all need-ful Rules and Regulations respecting the Territory or other Property belonging to the United States …”
The question is whether Congress may abdicate that power, as it did with the Antiquities Act of 1906, granting presidents the power to create monu-ments.
A Heritage Foundation essay by a federal judge argues it does not: “Al-though the Constitution contains no explicit prohibition against Congress delegating its legislative powers (to the
President or an administrative agency, for example), the principle of non-del-egation is fundamental to the idea of a limited government accountable to the people. Indeed, the people, in whom sovereignty ultimately resides, carefully assign certain powers to each branch of government. The delegated powers are defined as placed in distinct branches of government for the ‘accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands,’ writes James Madison in Federalist No. 47, ‘may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.’”
The Supreme Court three times has upheld the Antiquities Act, but on argu-ments other than constitutionality.
Then there is also the question of whether the Founders intended that the federal government control vast acreage inside sovereign states.
James Madison wrote in 1787 that El-bridge Gerry raised concerns during the drafting of the Constitution about giving Congress exclusive power over purchased lands, saying “that this power might be made use of to enslave any particular state by buying up its territory, and that the strongholds proposed would be a means of awing the state into an undue obedience to the general government.”
Delegate Rufus King moved to add the phrase “by consent of the legislature of the state.” It passed unanimously.
Yet none of the legislatures of the
Western states has ever consented.This issue was addressed in 1828,
when Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Ar-kansas, Louisiana, Alabama, and Flor-ida petitioned to gain control of federal land within their boundaries.
Their petition to Congress read in part: “If these lands are to be withheld from sale, which is the effect of the present system, in vain may the People of these States expect the advantages of well settled neighborhoods, so essential to the education of youth, and to the pleasures of social intercourse …”
It went on to say the land needed to be sold “within a reasonable time” so it could be taxed and government services provided.
Today the federal government con-trols only 4 percent of the lands in those states, while it controls 50 percent of the Western states, including 86 percent of Nevada.
The 1864 Nevada statehood document promises the state would get 5 percent of proceeds when “public lands lying within said state, which shall be sold by the United States subsequent to the admission of said state into the Union …”
It is 152 years subsequent to admis-sion. Is that within a reasonable time?

energy projects — egged on by Sen. Harry Reid and the global warming Chicken Littles in the Democratic Party, who are more than willing to spend other people’s money on grants, loan guarantees, tax breaks and give away federal public land to be paved over with solar panels, mirrors and wind-mills.
The latest announcement comes from SolarReserve, which says it plans to build the world’s largest solar thermal power generating facility — 1,500 to 2,000 megawatts of electricity —some-where on public land in Nye County in the next few years.
The company has been operating the $1 billion, 110-megawatt Crescent Dunes solar thermal plant near Tonopah for about a year. Built with nearly three-quarters of its funding coming from a federal loan guarantee, Crescent Dunes generates power by using mir-rors to concentrate sunlight on towers where salt is heated to a molten state. The molten salt then turns water into to steam to drive turbines.
But unlike the solar thermal plant in Ivanpah across the border in California that directly turns water to steam, the molten salt stays heated longer and allows the plant to operate even after sunset.
SolarReserve’s proposed $5 billion Sandstone facility would employ 100,000 mirrors and 10 towers, using the technology developed at Crescent Dunes. There is no indication yet how much federal backing would be needed, but the Crescent Dunes plant sells power to NV Energy at a wholesale rate of 13.5 cents per kilowatt-hour, which is two to four times the cost from a gas-fired plant, a cost passed on to consum-
ers.According to press accounts, the
company estimates construction could create 3,000 jobs for seven years.
While we are reticent to back proj-ects that require too many tax dollars to pencil out, far be it from us to turn Luddite and reject out of hand po-tential job-creating technology and innovation, but we do suggest that caution and a thorough analysis be used before plowing ahead with the SolarReserve proposal, which would require about 16,000 acres of public land, or about 10 times the footprint of Crescent Dunes.
Though Crescent Dunes claims its concentrated solar rays kill only 60 birds a year compared to 6,000 at Ivan-pah, the environmental impact should be carefully weighed, because federal land bureaucrats are too often willing to slack off when it comes to approving renewable energy projects of which their bosses are so enamored.
Take for example the wind turbine project proposed for Searchlight in southern Clark County, which was recently in the news when the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals refused to set aside a federal judge’s decision to halt the project until a more accurate and thorough environmental analysis can be conducted.
The Bureau of Land Management had approved the construction of 87 400-foot-tall wind turbines by Apex Clean Energy, but the federal judge ruled the environmental analysis by the BLM and the Fish and Wildlife Service was inadequate because its data failed to accurately reflect the im-pact of the project on desert tortoises and bats, as well as golden and bald eagles.
Existing wind turbines already kill more than 100,000 birds a year.
The BLM claimed there were only three golden eagle nests within 10 miles of the project, but the Nevada Di-vision of Wildlife reported there were 28 nests.
The SolarReserve project should be honestly reviewed for its environ-mental impact, as well as its feasibility to provide an adequate return on the taxpayer investment in both money and land. — TM

So far, this winter is shaping up to be the mildest Lincoln County has seen in a long time; “seen” being the key word here. We expect to see things like snow, ice, and the occa-sional scowl one gets when they’re grateful to be back in their warm home, but real-ize they forgot to grab the one thing they needed at the store. With the exception of a cou-ple snow dustings, the county hasn’t seen any of the familiar signs it’s used to; instead, we’ve seen almost a week straight of above-average degree weather, shorts, t-shirts, and a few con-fused bees.
Snow fell Monday evening for a brief period in the northern part of the county in Pioche’s higher elevations. Panaca resi-dents saw a dreary day of rain Tuesday. Caliente residents said it was just plain cold. Next week looks to be in the fifties again.
Unfortunately, as a result of this mild winter, we won’t be seeing the annual Ice Hole In-vitational and recently added Frisbee Golf Tournament out at Eagle Valley Reservoir. Right now, the current thickness of the ice is between four to six inches. Reported average of thickness this time of year is 9 to 10 inches). Ben Johnson, Spring Valley State Park super-visor, said, “The conditions at the lake have forced us to cancel this year’s event unfortunately. It is still safe to go ice fishing, however it’s just not ideal for ice golf at this time.”
Last year, the reservoir had 11 inches of ice for fishermen and golfers.
Johnson also noted that, if the conditions improve, he will consider hosting the event later this winter.

New visitors center to open next weekBy Dave Maxwell
Pahranagat National Wildlife Refuge, under the U.S. Depart-ment of Fish and Wildlife, is having a Grand Opening cer-emony and dedication of the new visitors center Jan. 24 at the Refuge beginning at 10 a.m.
At 11 a.m. will be the premier of a new film “Pahranagat Na-tional Wildlife Refuge,” and at Noon, live birds of prey will be presented by Martin Tyner of the Southwest Wildlife Foun-dation in Scottsdale, Ariz.
Other events from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. include chuckwagon stew, crafts for kids, solar viewing with the Las Vegas Astronomical So-
ciety, a photo booth at the historic petroglyph cabin and water color painting by artist/photographer Sharon Schafer.
Acting Refuge manager Amy LaVoie said the new center was made possible with a SNPLMA grant, funds generated from the sale of public lands. “The purpose of the new center,” she said is “to provide an opportu-nity to interpret the Refuge and the valley and get people ex-cited about visiting other places on the Refuge.”
The visitors center is about 5,000 square feet, including the Refuge administrative head-quarters offices that will move into the new facility. “There
are also exhibits along a short trail,” LaVoie said.
“Inside the center,” she ex-plained, “is information about the refuge, different educa-tional exhibits inside and out-side, a theatre to show the new 8-minute refuge film, and meet-ing space.”
LaVoie said “We are excited to show off new technology that displays the great things to do at the Refuge and then get people interested in coming back for another visit, to walk on a trail, or view some wildlife. We’re hoping it will bring people off the highway and from the local community who will want to spend a day or two in Lincoln
County.”Also attending are expected
to be Polly Wheeler, Chief of Refuges in the Pacific North-west from the Sacramento, Calif. office, and some of her staff, as well as former County Commission chairman Ed Hig-bee, and representatives from NUWUVI, six Southern Paiute tribes in the southwest. “There are a lot of Paiute themes in the visitor’s center and the trail area,” LaVoie said. “They have been helping us a lot.”
After the grand opening, the visitors center will be open at no charge Thursday through Mon-day 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., closed Tuesday and Wednesday.

Every January, states across the country reach out to their communities by educating and raising awareness about ra-don exposure and health risks caused by prolonged exposure to it. January is National Ra-don Action Month, and Lin-coln County Commissioners approved a Proclamation last meeting. Initiative programs and resources are commonly in-troduced to counties around the state this time of year, however this year, raising awareness about exposure to radon gas isn’t just a concern; it’s a priority.
Radon is a radioactive, color-less, odorless and tasteless gas that comes from the ground. It accumulates in homes and is the leading cause of lung cancer
in nonsmokers. The U.S. Envi-ronmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates 21,000 Ameri-cans die each year from radon-caused lung cancer, killing more people than secondhand smoke, drunk driving, falls in the home, drowning or house fires. Ac-cording to EPA estimates, one in every 15 homes nationwide have a high radon level at or above the recommended ra-don action level of 4 picoCuries (pCi/L) per liter of air. Living in a home with an average radon level of 4 pCi/L of air poses as much danger of developing lung cancer as smoking half a pack of cigarettes a day.
Out of the homes that have completed tests, Lincoln County has the second highest average

by NV Energy. Question 4 would require state lawmakers to exempt medical de-vices from the statewide sales tax. The current statewide sales tax is 6.85 per-cent.
Unlike other ballot measures, Ques-tions 3 and 4 are constitutional amend-ments, which means they will require a second passage by voters in the 2018 gen-eral election to become law.
Lincoln County Clerk Lisa Lloyd re-ported there was a total turnout, includ-ing early and absentee ballots, of 2,137 voters in the county (78.6 percent).
Voters in Lincoln County, joined the other 15 counties that voted for Trump in the presidential election. Trump re-ceived 1,671 votes to 285 for Clinton. The vote for none of these candidates got 84 votes.
In the Congressional races, Lincoln County went Republican. 1,609 for Heck, 315 for Cortez-Masto, and the 4th Con-gressional District, 1,676 for Cresent
Hardy and 261 for Reuben Kihuen.Pete Goicoechea was reelected to the
state Senate over Democrat challenger Janine Hansen by a wide margin of 76.45 percent to 23.55.
James Ellison was unopposed for the State Assembly in District 33. James Os-carson was re-elected to the Assembly in District 36 over Dennis Hoff by a margin of 60.76 percent to 39.24 percent. Oscar-son carried Lincoln County over Hof by a count of 511 to 110.
For seats on the County Commission, Adam Katschke and Varlin Higbee were both unopposed. Nate Katschke was un-opposed for the seat from District E to replace Paul Mathews.
On the statewide ballot questions, vot-ers in Lincoln County said No on Ques-tion 1, expand gun background checks, 1,868 to 247, No on Question 2, recre-ational marijuana, 1,420 to 695, yes on Question 3, energy choice, 1,143 to 947, yes on Question 4, medical equipment sales tax exemption, 1,229 to 850.
A couple of issues specific to only Lin-coln County both lost. No on the fuel tax increase 1,544 to 550 and no on general obligation school bonds, 1,216 to 864.

and checked on it again Nov. 4 because he recognized the vehicle. With hunting season,” Lee said, “it’s not unusual to see lots of vehicles out and about, but this one, in the same spot for a longer period of time, raised suspicion. He ran the plate numbers and it came back a missing per-son out of the Las Vegas jurisdiction. The keys were still in the vehicle, but no wal-let or anything else.”
Lee said Sheriff’s deputies, Fish and Wildlife, plus a couple of Search and Rescue members searched the immedi-ate area that day, but found nothing.
Another search involving about 18 per-
sonnel covering a nearly one-mile radius was conducted all day Nov. 5 with no re-sults.
On Nov. 6, a much larger search was mounted, greatly expanding the search radius and involving numerous other agencies “We were searching in very thick, rugged terrain,” Lee said. “I called for Mutual Aid from both Iron and Wash-ington counties in Utah. We had about 40 searchers aided by four dogs and han-dlers, including one from Kane County, Utah near Kanab, four horse mounted searchers, a drone, and the rest on foot or ATVs. We searched until late Sunday af-ternoon and again found nothing.”
Harper is 5 feet 2 inches tall and weighs about 190 pounds.
Lee said on Monday they were discuss-ing whether or not to call off the search.

Barbara Ann Constantine, age 67, of Pioche, Nevada, passed away after a
battle with can-cer Wednesday, Nov. 2, 2016, in her home in Pi-oche. She was born on March 15, 1949, in Waterloo, Iowa. Her career included moving to Las Vegas, Ne-vada, and working for the Del Webb Corporation as an
executive secretary to the president until retirement, at which time she relocated with her husband, Kenzie, to Pioche, Nevada, and became actively involved in the Chamber of Commerce there.
She was preceded in death by her father, Carroll Beane, and brother, Dan Beane.
She is survived by her husband, Kenzie Constantine of Pioche, Ne-vada; her mother, Bernadine Beane of Caliente, Nevada; her step-chil-dren, Dawn Ward of Las Vegas, Jamie Detrano of Lawrence, Kansas, and Travis Constantine of Las Vegas, and their spouses. She is also survived by six loving grandchildren, Kyle, Mat-thew, and Jadyn Ward, and Robbie, Nick, and Joseph Detrano, as well as cousins and relatives in Iowa. Barbara was a generous, kind, and loving wife, daughter, grandmother, and friend who was always willing to help in any way she could. She had many talents including sewing, upholstery, doll making, ceramics, and baking. Her grandkids insist she made the best sugar cookies they ever tasted.
A memorial service has been sched-uled for Barbara at Holy Child Catholic Church on Culverwell St. in Caliente, Nevada, on Saturday, Nov. 12, 2016 at 11 a.m. Arrangements were handled by Southern Nevada Mortuary. Online con-dolences can be made at www.snmortu-ary.com

Vicky is survived by her sister, Donna Palmeroy, and by her brother, Gary DeCarlo (Joyce) and preceded in death by her parents, Pete and Evelyn DeCarlo, her sister, Sharon Diaz, and her brother, Joseph DeCarlo. Lincoln County is where Vicky met and married the love of her life, David Laue, who was her constant and true companion for 57 years of marriage.

seven kills and four digs and a block. “We didn’t have a lot of kills, which
hurt us,” Thornock said.Lincoln and Meadows battled it out
in game three. The Lynx were ahead all the way to 17, but they couldn’t close the game, and Meadows came back to win 25-20.
Although the result was the same, Thornock saw improvement in his team since it last played Meadows. “We played much better against them in the play-offs,” he said.
That puts a wrap on the 2016 volley-ball season, and Thornock is optimistic about 2017.
“We have a lot of good girls coming up next season. They need to pick up a ball over the offseason and work on mental toughness.”
The Meadows lost the championship game to Calvary Chapel, which remains undefeated in league play. Meadows faces northern one seed Yerington for the state semifinals in Sparks tonight.
Calvary faces northern two seed White Pine. The state championship game will be tomorrow afternoon.

lynx runners compete at stateLCR
Juniors boys cross country runners Cody Dirks and Ben Culverwell and the entire girls cross country team for Lincoln County High School competed on Satur-day at the 1A-2A State Championships.
The meet was held at Craig Ranch Park in North Las Vegas.
Dirks finished the 5,000 meter race in 17 minutes 15 seconds, an 18.4 second improvement over his time last weekend at regionals and a personal record. That was good enough for eighth out of a field of 49 runners.
Culverwell also PR’d, finishing the race in 18:19, which was a 31 second im-provement over regionals.
On the girls side, Shayla Mathews, Amy Thomas, Ashlee Decker, Jessica Shumway and Jueun Lee took part in the race. Mathews recorded the best
time of the group, 23:52, which was a personal record for her. Thomas was close behind, finishing in 24:11. Decker, Shumway and Lee all recorded personal bests as well.

new county coalition meetsBy Shayla Leavitt
Lincoln County is filled with many or-ganizations with common goals to bene-fit and aid the people of the county.
Ben Rowley, of Nevada Central Me-dia, in association with the NyE Com-munities Coalition, invited organiza-tions throughout the county to be a part of a new coalition. The goal is to meet monthly to allow everyone to bet-ter-understand what each group is do-ing and find ways to work together on common goals. Having an active coali-tion also opens the door to additional resources that can help address commu-nity needs, such as, employment, educa-tion, food, housing and transportation.
The first meeting was held on Oct. 25 and organizations in attendance in-
cluded Nevada Lincoln County Commu-nity Health, RSVP, LC Mental Health, LC Human Services, Pioche Senior Center, LC Family2Family, Nevada Outreach, LC School District, Panaca Town Ambu-lance, UNR Cooperative Extension, LC Workforce, LC Emergency Management, LC Regional Development Authority, Lincoln Communities Action Team and Mayor Stana Hurlburt of Caliente.
After introductions, Stacy Smith, di-rector of NyE, spoke about her coali-tion’s experiences and the opportunities for collaboration that come with form-ing a community coalition.
The next meeting will be held in Panaca, on Nov. 22, at 10 a.m. Any va-riety of organization (government, non-profits, private sector, educational, reli-gious, etc.) encouraged to participate.
lcAt reports uptick in online visitorsBy Dave Maxwell
Lincoln Communities Action Team reported 1,395 followers on their Face-book page, a 33 percent increase over last month. Twitter had 843 followers.
The figures were released during the Oct. 11 meeting of LCAT members under president Marcia Hurd.
The LCAT website was down on the number of visitors by about 48 percent from September, but that was attributed mainly to the fact that those coming to the Park-to-Park Pedal event Oct. 8 had already registered. The event had 190 riders this year.
Nonetheless, the number of web visi-tors was reported to be 21 percent higher than what it had been in 2015.
Most of the visits, 41 percent, came from the Las Vegas area, but 12.5 percent from Los Angeles and 8 percent from Utah.
In other news, it was reported that additional Nevada Council on Tourism funds are being obligated for an aerial drone video project Rob Pearman plans to do. The videos will feature the five state parks in Lincoln County.
State Parks Interpreter Dawn Andone said she has submitted a grant request for Round 2 of NCOT funding.
Progress on the Hiko billboard sign is still pending, but should be completed by the end of the year. The sign, at the junction of U.S. Highway 93 and State Route 375, has faded so much it is un-readable now.
Coming up next on the LCAT calen-dar is the opening of the Cookie Crumb Trail and the Gingerbread Fun Run this weekend, the historic Caliente train depot Christmas lighting Dec. 3, the Community Christmas Concert at the Caliente Methodist Church Dec. 9, and the Bella Voce Choir Dec. 21-22. Location of the choir concert is most likely at the Neldon Mathews Audito-rium.
Also, it was reported Terry Phillips is planning to move the clothing section, and other things, of the Mountain Mer-cantile store across the railroad tracks to a building next to the Dolan and Ed-wards Insurance office.
The next meeting LCAT is scheduled for Jan. 10, 2017 and will include the elec-tion of officers.

Upon publication of this Notice in the Federal Register, the described land will be segre-gated from all forms of appropriation under the public land laws, except for the sale provisions of FLPMA. Upon publication and until completion of the sale, the BLM will no longer accept land use applications affecting the identified public lands, except applications for the amend-ment of previously filed right-of-way (ROW) applications or existing authorizations to increase the term of the grants in accordance with 43 CFR 2807.15 and 2886.15. The segregated effect will terminate upon issuance of a patent, publication in the Federal Register of a termination of the segregation, or on October 22, 2018, unless extended by the BLM State Director, Nevada in accordance with 43 CFR 2711.1–2(d) prior to the termination date.
These tracts of public land meet the disposal criteria consistent with Section203 of FLPMA and the BLM Ely District Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan (ROD/RMP) dated August 20, 2008. The parcels are suitable for disposal and would be in compli-ance with Public Law 108–424, Lincoln County Conservation, Recreation, and Development Act (LCCRDA), enacted on November 30, 2004, and conform to the ROD/RMP as referenced in the Lands and Realty objectives LR–8, page 66; and Appendix B, page B–1. An Environ-mental Assessment NV–L030–2015–0027 was prepared and a decision record signed on Jan-uary 8, 2016. All documents including a map and the appraisal for the sale are available for review at the BLM Caliente Field Office.
FLPMA Section 209, 43 U.S.C. 1719(a), states that ‘‘[a]ll conveyances of title issued by the Secretary . . . shall reserve to the United States all minerals in the lands.’’ The BLM prepared a mineral potential report dated July 22, 2014, which concluded that no significant mineral re-source value will be affected by the disposal of these parcels. These parcels are not required for any Federal purposes, and their disposal is in the public interest and meets the intent of the LCCRDA.
In accordance with the policy direction in 43 CFR Section 2710.0– 6(c)(3)(i), a competi-tive sale of public land may be used where ‘‘there would be a number of interested parties bidding for the lands and (A) wherever in the judgment of the authorized officer the lands are accessible and usable regardless of adjoining land ownership and (B) wherever the lands are within a developing or urbanizing area and land values are increasing due to their location and interest on the competitive market.’’ The BLM examined the parcels and found them to be consistent with and suitable for disposal using competitive sale procedures.
Competitive Sale Procedures as prescribed by 43 CFR Section 2711.3–1: Sales Procedures: Registration for oral bidding will begin at 12:00 p.m., Pacific Time at the
Depot Building, 100 Depot Avenue, Council Chambers Room, Caliente, NV 89008, on the day of the sale. There will be no prior registration before the sale date. The public sale auction will be through sealed and oral bids. To determine the high bids among the qualified bids received, the sealed bids must be received at the place of the sale prior to the hour fixed in the notice. They will be opened and recorded on the day of the sale. The highest bid above FMV of the sealed bids will set the starting point for oral bidding on a parcel. Parcels that receive no quali-fied sealed bids will begin at the established FMV. Bidders who are participating and attending the oral auction on the day of the sale are not required to submit a sealed bid but may choose to do so.
Sealed-bid envelopes must be clearly marked on the lower front left corner with the parcel number and name of the sale, for example: ‘‘N–XXXXX, 3-parcelLCCRDA Land Sale 2016.’’Sealed bids must include an amount not less than 20 percent of the total bid amount by certified check, bank draft, cashier’s check, or U.S. postal money order made payable in U.S. dollars to the ‘‘Department of the Interior—Bureau of Land Manage-ment.’’ The BLM will not accept personal or company checks. The sealed-bid envelope must contain the deposit and a completed and signed ‘‘Certificate of Eligibility’’ form stating the name, mailing address, and telephone number of the entity or person submitting the bid. Cer-tificate of Eligibility and registration forms are available at the BLM Caliente Field Office at the address listed in the ADDRESSES section and on the BLM Web site at: http://www.blm.gov/nv/st/en/snplma/Land_Auctions.html. Pursuant to 43 CFR 2711.3–1(c), if two or more sealed-bid envelopes contain valid bids of the same amount, the bidders will be notified via phone or in person to submit another bid within ten minutes or to withdraw their original bid. Oral bidding will start at the highest sealed bid amount. If there are no oral bids on the parcel, the authorized officer will determine the winning bidder. Bids for less than the federally approved FMV will not be qualified.
The high bidder will be declared the successful bidder in accordance with 43 CFR 2711.3–1(d), competitive bidding procedures, where the ‘‘highest qualifying bid received shall be pub-licly declared by the authorized officer.’’ Acceptance or rejection of any offer(s) to purchase will be in accordance with the procedures set forth in 43 CFR 2711.3–1 (f) and (g).
Bid Deposits and Payment: A high bidder will be declared by BLM’s authorized officer. In accordance with 2711.3–1(d), the person declared the highest bidder shall submit their bid deposit in the form of a bank draft, cashier’s check, certified check, or U.S. postal money order, or any combination thereof, and made payable in U.S. dollars to the ‘‘Department of the Interior—Bureau of Land Management.’’ The high bidder shall submit a deposit of no less than 20 percent of the successful bid by 4:00 p.m., Pacific Time on the day of the sale to the BLM, Collections Officers at BLM, Caliente Field Office,1400 South Front Street, Caliente, NV 89008. Failure to submit the bid deposit following the close of the sale will result in the forfei-ture of the bid deposit and the cancellation of the sale. No contractual or other rights against the United States may accrue until the BLM officially accepts the offer to purchase and the full bid price is paid. All funds submitted with unsuccessful bids will be returned to the bidders or their authorized representative upon presentation of acceptable photo identification at the BLM Caliente Field Office or by certified mail.
In accordance with 43 CFR 2711.3– 1(d), ‘‘The successful bidder . . . shall submit the re-mainder of the full bid price prior to the expiration of 180 days from the date of the sale.’’ Fail-ure to pay the full purchase price within 180 days of the sale will result in forfeiture of the bid deposit. No exceptions will be made. The BLM cannot accept the remainder of the bid price at any time following the 180th day after the sale. Arrangements for electronic fund transfer to the BLM shall be made a minimum of two weeks prior to final payment. Failure to meet conditions established for this sale will void the sale and any funds received will be forfeited.
In order to qualify for a Federal conveyance of title, you must meet one of these conditions: (1) A citizen of the United States 18 years of age or older; (2) A corporation subject to the laws of any State or of the United States; (3) A State, State instrumentality, or political subdivision authorized to hold property; or (4) An entity legally capable of conveying and holding lands or interests therein under the laws of the State of Nevada.
Evidence of United States citizenship is a birth certificate, passport, or naturalization pa-pers. Failure to submit the above requested documents to the BLM within 30 days from receipt of the high-bidder letter will result in cancellation of the sale and forfeiture of the bid deposit. Citizenship documents and Articles of Incorporation (as applicable) must be provided to the BLM Caliente Field Office for each sale. The successful bidder is allowed 180 days from the date of the sale to submit the remainder of the full purchase price.
The public land will not be offered for sale prior to 60 days from the date this Notice is pub-lished in the Federal Register. The patents, if issued, would be subject to the following terms, conditions, and reservations:
1. A reservation for any right-of-way thereon for ditches or canals constructed by the author-ity of the United States, Act of August 30, 1890 (43 U.S.C. 945);
2. A reservation for all mineral deposits in the land so patented, and toit or person authorized by it, the right to prospect for, mine, or remove such deposits from the
same under applicable law and such regulations as the Secretary of the Interior may prescribe shall be reserved to the United States;
3. The parcels are subject to valid existing rights; and 4. By accepting this patent, the purchasers/patentees agree to indemnify, defend, and hold
the United States harmless from any costs, damages, claims, causes of action, penalties, fines, liabilities, and judgments of any kind or nature arising from the past, present, and future acts or omissions of the patentee, its employees, agents, contractors, or lessees, or any third-party, arising out of or in connection with the patentee’s use, occupancy, or operations on the patented real property. This indemnification and hold harmless agreement includes, but is not limited to, acts and omissions of the patentee, its employees, agents, contractors, or lessees, or any third party, arising out of or in connection with the use and/or occupancy of the patented real property resulting in: (a) Violations of Federal, State, and local laws and regulations that are now or may in the future become, applicable to the real property; (b) Judgments, claims or demands of any kind assessed against the United States; (c) Costs, expenses, or damages of any kind incurred by the United States; (d) Releases or threatened releases of solid or hazard-ous waste(s) and/or hazardous substances(s), as defined by Federal or State environmental laws, off, on, into or under land, property and other interests of the United States; (e) Other activities by which solid waste or hazardous substances or waste, as defined by Federal and State environmental laws are generated, released, stored, used or otherwise disposed of on the patented real property, and any cleanup response, remedial action or other actions related in any manner to said solid or hazardous substances or wastes; or (f) Natural resource dam-ages as defined by Federal and State law. This covenant shall be construed as running with the patented real property, and may be enforced by the United States in a court of competent jurisdiction.
No representation, warranty, or covenant of any kind, express or implied, is given or made by the United States, its officers or employees, as to title, access to or from the above de-scribed parcels of land, the title of the land, whether or to what extent the land may be devel-oped, its physical condition, or past, present or future uses, and the conveyance of any such parcel will not be on a contingency basis. The buyer is responsible to be aware of all applicable federal, state, and local government policies and regulations that would affect the subject lands. It is also the buyer’s responsibility to be aware of existing or prospective uses of nearby properties. Lands without access from a public road or highway will be conveyed as such, and future access acquisition will be the responsibility of the buyer.
The parcels may be subject to land use applications received prior to publication of this notice if processing the application would have no adverse effect on the marketability of title, or the FMV of the parcel. Encumbrances of record, appearing in the case file are available for review during business hours, 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Pacific Time, Monday through Friday at the Caliente Field Office, except during federally recognized holidays.
The parcels are subject to limitations prescribed by law and regulation, and prior to patent issuance, a holder of any ROW within the parcels will be given the opportunity to amend the ROW for conversion to a new term, including perpetuity, if applicable, or to an easement.
The BLM will notify valid existing ROW holders of their ability to convert their complaint ROW to perpetual ROW or easements. Each valid holder will be notified in writing of their rights and then must apply for the conversion of their current authorization.
Unless other satisfactory arrangements are approved in advance by a BLM authorized of-ficer, conveyance of title shall be through the use of escrow. Designation of the escrow agent shall be through mutual agreement between the BLM and the prospective patentee, and costs of escrow shall be borne by the prospective patentee.
Requests for all escrow instructions must be received by the Caliente Field Office 30 days before the scheduled closing date. There are no exceptions.
All name changes and supporting documentation must be received at the Caliente Field Office 30 days from the date of the high bidder letter by 4:00 p.m. Pacific Standard Time. Name changes will not be accepted after that date. To submit a name change, the high bidder must submit the name change on the Certificate of Eligibility form to the BLM, Caliente Field Office in writing. Certificate of Eligibility forms are available at the Caliente Field Office and at the BLM Web site at: http:// www.blm.gov/nv/st/en/fo/ely_field_office.html.
The BLM will not sign any documents related to 1031 Exchange transactions. The timing for completion of the exchange is the bidder’s responsibility in accordance with Internal Reve-nue Service regulations. The BLM is not a party to any 1031 Exchange.
In order to determine the FMV through appraisal, certain extraordinary assumptions and hypothetical conditions are made concerning the attributes and limitations of the land and po-tential effects of local regulations and policies on potential future land uses. Through publica-tion of this Notice, the BLM advises that these assumptions may not be endorsed or approved by units of local Government.
In accordance with 43 CFR 2711.3–1(f), the BLM may accept or reject any or all offers to purchase, or withdraw any parcel of land or interest therein from sale, if, in the opinion of the BLM authorized officer, consummation of the sale would be inconsistent with any law, or for other reasons.
Only written comments will be considered properly filed.Before including your address, phone number, email address, or other personal identifying
information in your comment, you should be aware that your entire comment, including your personal identifying information, may be made publicly available at any time. While you can ask us in your comment to withhold your personnel identifying information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so.
Any comments regarding the proposed date will be reviewed by the BLM Nevada State Director, who may sustain, vacate, or modify this realty action. In the absence of any adverse comments, this realty action will become the final determination of the Department of Interior.
