John Byrne photos/TribuneAn estimated 10,000 people marched in downtown Reno on Saturday as part of the Reno Women’s March on Washington. The event was peaceful, and police made no arrests. “I support Reno citizens’ right to peacefully demonstrate at this week-end’s Reno Women’s March on Washington. It’s great to see people in our commu-nity rally for solidarity,” said Reno Mayor Hillary Schieve. Event organizers applied for and were granted a spe-cial activity permit to close Virginia Street from Stewart Street to Second Street during the event. For the safety of everyone, the Reno Police Department staffed additional officers during the event to provide assistance at street crossings, prevent traffic from entering the closed roadway during the march and assist motorists on routes around the desig-nated closure.

From snow, to rain and floods, to more snow, Sparks has seen it all in re-cent weeks from Mother Nature, and that has kept the Red Cross busy.

After Washoe County was declared in a state of emer-gency earlier this month, the Red Cross provided 289 overnight shelter stays, served 4220 meals and 19,405 snacks, distributed over 26,000 bottles of water, and given out 41 clean up kits and 189 comfort kits.

As one of Red Cross’s community partners, the Nugget Casino Resort do-nated water, food, and hotel room stays. Since all Red Cross assistance is free, corporate sponsors are es-sential in allowing them to respond to disasters in the community while still being effective with the services it provides.

“When people donate to the Red Cross, we want them to know that their gift is being used efficiently and responsibly,” says Ameri-can Red Cross Public Infor-mation Officer Frank Rutk-owski.

Along with the Nugget, Red Cross has identified the Washoe County School District for potential shelter sites. Sparks High School was one of the sites used in the first round of storms to help people affected by the weather.

AvAlAnche closes highwAy neAr lAke TAhoe; no school in reno/spArks

RENO — Heavy snow in northern Nevada and the Sierra has closed schools throughout the Reno-Sparks area and triggered an avalanche that shut down a California highway just west of Lake Tahoe.

The Washoe County School Dis-trict cancelled all classes Monday af-ter more than a half-foot of snow fell overnight on some parts of Reno.

U.S. Interstate 80 reopened over the Donner Pass west of Truckee, California, but chains or snow tires were required and a number of other Sierra passes remain closed.

Two cars were trapped but no one injured when an avalanche closed California State Highway 89 between the Squaw Valley ski resort and Ta-hoe City, California.

KRNV-TV in Reno reports the av-alanche dumped snow 12-feet high across about a 200-foot stretch of the highway shortly after 1 a.m. Monday.

securiTy cAm imAge releAsed in fATAl jewelry sTore robbery

LAS VEGAS — Police have re-leased a security camera image in an effort to identify and find an armed robber sought in a botched weekend jewelry store heist that left a clerk dead from what police character-ized as a wayward shot by a security guard.

Henderson police Officer Scott Williams said that nothing was taken during the robbery at a Jared store near the Galleria Mall, which was in-terrupted by a single shot fired by the

guard that missed the robber and hit Kimberlee Ann Kincaid-Hill.

Kincaid-Hill, 57, of Henderson, died late Saturday of a gunshot to the chest, the Clark County coroner reported. Her death was ruled a ho-micide.

Williams declined Monday to iden-tify the security guard, who police said was not charged with a crime.

Henderson police said they intend to seek murder and attempted rob-bery charges against the man when he is located.

State law allows prosecutors to hold a defendant responsible for the death of another person in the com-mission of a felony.

The store remained closed Monday, and calls to telephone numbers asso-ciated with Kincaid-Hill went unan-swered.

Police said the would-be robber wore a red and black hooded sweat-shirt, a black mask and other dark clothing.

He displayed a handgun but did not shoot, and fled on foot from the store on busy Sunset Road. He has not been found.

Williams declined Monday to dis-close whether anyone else was in the store at the time.

police sAy homicides in reno, spArks AppArenTly relATed

SPARKS — Police in Reno and Sparks are investigating two homi-cides that occurred in nearby loca-tions in the adjacent northern Ne-vada cities.

Sparks police say investigators believe the cases are related and are working together in the investiga-tion.

Identities of the victims were not released and police said they didn’t

have information on a suspect or sus-pects in the case.

police: officer shooTs knife-wielding nAked mAn

JEAN — The Las Vegas Metropoli-tan Police Department says one of its officers fatally shot a knife-wielding naked man when he charged the of-ficer after not complying with the of-ficer’s commands and earlier chasing two hotel workers.

Police say the incident occurred Saturday morning in a parking lot at the Gold Spike Hotel and Gambling Hall located in Jean, Nevada, about 30 miles south of Las Vegas.

According to police, the officer en-countered the man after responding to multiple reports of a naked man in the hotel’s pool area.

Police say the officer who shot the man before that had fired a bean-bag gun at the man but it was ineffective.

The officer was not injured.No identities were released.

nevAdA sen. corTez mAsTo 1 of 11 AgAinsT new homelAnd chief

RENO — Nevada’s new U.S. Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto was one of 11 Democrats who voted against Presi-dent Trump’s nominee for secretary of the Department of Homeland Se-curity.

The Senate voted Friday to confirm Gen. John F. Kelly on a vote of 88-11. No Republican opposed him.

Cortez Masto said in a statement she respects the general’s many years of service to the country. But she said she couldn’t in good conscience support him given his views on immigration.

The former Nevada attorney general won Harry Reid’s seat in November to become the first Latina to serve in the

Senate. She says she’s concerned Kelly won’t fully protect the rights of chil-dren who immigrated to the U.S. and are “American in all but paper.”

nevAdA Tribe wAnTs coAch fired for scAlping TexT

RENO — A Native American tribal chairman in northern Nevada is ask-ing for the resignation of a high school basketball coach who sent a text mes-sage to one of his players that said, “Get ready to scalp or be scalped,” a newspaper reported.

Virginia City girls basketball coach Ken Fujii has apologized for the mes-sage he sent to the player on Jan. 13 before his team played Pyramid Lake High.

Vinton Hawley, chairman of the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe, called the text “reprehensible.”

Fujii, who has been a coach for 50 years, said he used a poor choice of words while trying to create motiva-tion against a team that had beaten them soundly in recent years. He said he never intended to be mean-spirited.

The Reno Gazette-Journal first re-ported on its website Thursday that the tribal chairman has sent a letter to the Nevada Interscholastic Activities Association asking for an investiga-tion and immediate termination of the coach.

NIAA Assistant Director Donnie Nelson said Friday the association is awaiting the results of an investiga-tion by Storey County School Super-intendent Todd Hess, Virginia City High School Principal Rick Schrank and school athletic director Patrick Beckwith.

“As of Friday morning, it is still an internal school district and school matter,” he said in an email to The Associated Press.

WARF to host inaugural ‘Pouring for Paws’ eventBy Kayla AndersonSparks Tribune

This Sunday from 2 to 5 p.m., animal lovers can unite over beers, live music and more at the Pouring for Paws event at New West Dis-tributing on 325 E. Nugget Avenue in Sparks.

Benefitting the Wylie Animal Rescue Foundation (WARF), Pouring for Paws will feature food by CoCoMoes Catering (from Gardnerville), craft beer sampling from Laughing Dog Brewery, and a silent auction. Local band Under the Radar will be playing, pints of beer will be provided by New West Distributing, and fine wines will be for sale by the glass.

“One of our very regular donors works at New West Distributing,” says WARF volun-teer and board member Donna Coombs. “We had a picnic at the beach this summer with all of our volunteers and this idea came up.”

In the following months, WARF started planning the Pouring for Paws event and has been selling tickets to the event through the Sierra Trading Post, other locations through-out Incline Village and Kings Beach, and on-line. During the event, WARF will be hosting a silent auction with prizes to include a two-night stay in a penthouse suite at Squaw Val-ley and dinner at Fireside Pizza, a two-night stay at the Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe with two tickets to Diamond Peak, two roundtrip tickets on Southwest Airlines, dinner at the Lone Eagle Grille, Mt. Rose lift tickets, and more.

WARF is a grassroots nonprofit organiza-tion founded almost 20 years ago that helps save animals from being euthanized. Based in the North Lake Tahoe area, WARF has

helped thousands of dogs and cats through-out the years find permanent homes.

“Our founder went to an animal shelter to get a dog and went home with six of them that were on death row,” says Coombs. Originally partnering with Tahoe Vista Animal Shelter, in 2015 the shelter closed due to lack of fund-ing, so WARF is attempting to raise funds to establish a place where animals can continue to live peacefully until they are placed into stable homes. “The goal of this fundraiser is to purchase sanctuary land for animals to keep them alive,” she says.

“Sunny skies are predicted for the event and it’ll be super fun, come join us!” adds Coombs.

Tickets are $35 per person or $45 the day of the event. Purchase tickets online at www.ta-hoewarf.com.

City of Sparks seeks input for Arts and Culture strategic plan

In 2016, the City of Sparks put into place its first Arts and Culture Committee. The committee’s role is to act as an advisor to the city council on arts and cultural affairs, funds and projects. The committee contains members from the commu-nity and the arts and culture industry. Each member has experience in arts advocacy and process and represent a different discipline: visual arts, performing arts and humanities.

The first matter of busi-ness for the committee is to develop a strategic plan to guide their work and since this program is to serve the citizens of Sparks and our visitors, it is important to seek public input. The com-mittee, with the facilitating assistance of Jeff Bruning of On Strategy, will hold five public input meetings in dif-ferent locations, including one on Facebook.

“It can be challenging to get citizens to engage with us on long term plans,” said Francine Burge, Special Events Supervisor. “It’s not that they don’t want to give their opinion, it’s that every-one is busy.”

To help get as much input from the community as pos-sible, varied meeting loca-tions and times will be avail-

able to cover the different wards of the city. The inclu-sion of a Facebook Live event will allow input from Face-book users during the event and afterwards, from home on a computer or on the go on a mobile phone. The event will be held on the City of Sparks Facebook page.

The meetings are:

(Seating is also available for anyone that would like to at-tend in person.)

Another purpose of the meeting is to inform the pub-lic on current arts programs offered in the community. The city works closely with the arts organization, Arts For All Nevada. They host arts classes designed for youth, adults and people with disabilities. Many of the classes are low cost and scholarships are available.

City of Sparks Arts and Culture Advisory Commit-tee members will be in at-tendance. Those members are: Christina Barr, Exec-utive Director of Nevada Humanities and Folklorist; Stephanie Farias, Founder of TheatreWorks of North-ern Nevada; Eileen Gay, Mo-saic Artist, Business owner; Melissa Melero, Founder of the Great Basin Native Art-ists Collective, Visual Artist; Sarah Toney, Development Director at NoteAbles, De-velopmental Coach.

The information gathered at the meeting will be incor-porated in the strategic plan. The first draft will go to the committee at their March Meeting and finalized at the June Meeting. The final plan will be presented to the Sparks City Council at their July 10 meeting.

Robots to take over Reed HighThe ReedBotics will be hosting robotics

teams across Northern Nevada on Jan. 25 from 4 to 7 p.m. at Reed High School in the cafeteria for the final meet in Northern Ne-vada to launch this year’s FIRST (For Inspi-ration and Recognition of Science and Tech-nology) Tech Challenge.

Robotics teams in Northern Nevada have been working hard this season to revise their robots in preparation for the culminat-ing competition which will determine which teams advance to the regional competition in Las Vegas, Nevada on Feb. 4. The name of this year’s game is “Velocity Vortex” and teams will be designing, building, and pro-gramming their robots to complete prede-termined tasks on the playing field to earn points. Points are not only awarded based on game play but also for maintaining their En-gineering Notebooks, oral interviews, and gracious professionalism. This is a fun and educational way for students to get hands on training in computer programming, en-gineering, and design while forming life-long bonds in the process. Michaela Carr, A ReedBotic team member says, “This is a good was to challenge myself while still hav-ing fun. Reed is known for its sports teams and I like being a part of a team that is differ-

ent.” This year Reed HS has an all girls team. Club advisor Leigh Metcalfe says, “they are a remarkable group of creative, dedicated and hard working student who have improved their robot design in elegant ways; in fact their overall standing as of Jan 11, 2017 was 3rd place outranking our veteran team.”

The mission of FIRST is to inspire young people to be science and technology leaders by engaging them in exciting Mentor-based programs that build science, engineering, and technology skills that also inspire inno-vation and foster well-rounded life capabil-ities including self-confidence, communica-tion, and leadership. FIRST Tech Challenge teams are made up of students in grades 7 through 12 that have a general interest in Ro-botics Technology. Being a part of this pro-gram teaches participants the fundamentals of engineering, computer programing, and design while encouraging participants to grow socially by learning to work and be a part of a team FIRST participation is proven to encourage students to pursue education and careers in STEM-related fields, inspire them to become leaders and innovators, and enhance their 21st century work-life skills.

23 feet of snow at Tahoe resorts since Jan. 1By Scott SonnerAssociated Press

RENO — Another nearly 3 feet of new snow fell on Sierra Nevada ski resorts — for a total of 23 feet since Jan. 1 in some places — and Reno recorded one of its snowiest days in 80 years Monday as skies began to clear and sun-shine followed the latest in a series of winter storms into the region.

Two California men were rescued from their car after it was buried for about an hour in an avalanche on Cal-ifornia State Highway 89 on the west side of Lake Tahoe and the roof of a liquor store collapsed early Monday under the weight of heavy snow in South Lake Tahoe, California.

No injuries were reported.The avalanche covered

about a 200-foot stretch of the highway in as deep as 12 feet of snow between Squaw Valley ski resort and Tahoe City, California south of In-terstate 80 at about 3:30 a.m.

Monday, closing the road until it was cleared Monday afternoon, the California Highway Patrol said.

David Ortiz of Alpine Meadows and Neale Allen Shutler of Tahoe City said they felt a strong gust of wind before their car was engulfed by the avalanche, with snow piled about 3 feet high on the roof of their ve-hicle — one of two caught in the snow slide.

They called 911 for help and the North Tahoe Fire Department was able to lo-cate them.

“They had us out of there in under an hour,” Ortiz posted on his Facebook ac-count. He told the East Bay’s ABC10 News they turned the car off to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning and kept the hazard lights flash-ing to help emergency crews locate them.

“We wanted to keep calm and keep our spirits high,” Ortiz told the TV station.

Local historian presents ‘Jedediah Strong Smith’ at Sparks Museum this weekBy Kayla AndersonSparks Tribune

Eighty-three-year-old Fred Horlacher, re-garded as Sparks’ much-beloved local his-torian, will be sharing the tale of “Jedediah Strong Smith” at the Sparks Museum and Cultural Center on Jan. 25 at 7 p.m.

Jedediah Smith, a mighty mountain main of the West, has fended off a grizzly bear, combated the sweltering heat of the Mohave Desert, and crossed snowy peaks and rapid rivers of the Sierras.

“Jedediah is an interesting person and for many years he was a forgotten man in the West,” says Horlacher. “He didn’t get recog-nition for it I think partly because he died when he was 31 years old. He was only out here for eight years, but in that time he did phenomenal things that hadn’t been done before. He almost drowned in rivers, fought grizzly bears, and traveled to unforeseen places. He was a remarkable man who was regarded as a great leader amongst his men,” Horlacher adds.

An Ely native, Horlacher moved to Sparks over 20 years ago and taught social studies and Nevada history at Reed High School when it was first developed. “I wanted to teach at a high school level, so I went to Reed when it was first built,” he says. Horlacher added that the principal wanted someone who could teach a consistent Nevada history curriculum and that Horlacher was the most qualified.

“There are many great interesting places all over Nevada and the people who live here are unique characters. Once you get to know the area, the people and their struggles, it makes you appreciate the history,” says Horlacher.

Throughout his career, Horlacher has re-ceived the Milliken Outstanding Teacher Award and Teacher of the Year Awards in Nevada and Washoe County. Although Hor-lacher has been retired for 22 years, he peri-odically gives lectures throughout Nevada. His gregarious storytelling livens history for

people of all ages. “People come from all over to hear Fred’s

presentations because he brings history to life,” says Sparks Museum Executive Direc-tor Kelly Reis. “Last year one of his former students flew up from Las Vegas just to at-tend one of his historic bus tours. He’s a be-loved teachers that left a lasting impression on his students, and we’re so happy that he continues to share local history through pre-sentations like this one at the Sparks Mu-seum,” she adds.

While teaching at Reed High School, Hor-lacher formed a history club that had up to 180 student members. “We took field trips every spring, visited ghost towns and geolog-ical oddities,” he said.

“My philosophy is that if you see a place and its history then it means a lot more to you than if you just read it in a textbook.”

Tickets cost $10 per person to attend the Jan. 25 Jedediah Smith lecture at the Sparks Museum and Cultural Center on Jan. 25. Pro-ceeds from the ticket sales will go towards helping the museum continue its mission to protect the cultural heritage of the Sparks and Truckee Meadows area. Seating to this event is limited, so to register early call 775-355-1144 or email kelly@sparksmuseum.org.

For the second round of storms that came through this past weekend, Red Cross placed Disaster Re-sponse Teams of people who are trained in operating an emergency relief shelter on standby as well as kept shel-ter trailers in place to deploy as needed. Washoe County also sent out some informa-tion on how residents should prepare for the next weather system coming through. Al-though there was not been any imminent danger of flooding, residents who live near ditches, tributaries, creeks or other water were still on alert.

“There are two ways two make a difference in our

community. Help can’t wait when people are suffering and need support. Financial donations of individuals, community and corporate partners ensure that the Red Cross will continue to serve this community in times of disaster or emergency. We welcome volunteers to de-liver the services that help our community on the road to recovery and resilience. Contact (775) 856-1000 to do-nate or volunteer,” says Rut-kowski.

Although the storm has passed, here are some re-sources from Washoe County regarding snow plow service, power outage maps, road closures, and more in case another freak weather system pops up: https://www.washoecounty.us/outreach/2017/01/2017-1-20--storm-info.php.

Red crosscontinued from Page 1

The latest storm pushed the snow total since Jan. 1 to more than 23 feet at both Heavenly Mountain Resort at South Lake Tahoe, Califor-nia and Kirkwood Mountain Resort about 15 miles south of Lake Tahoe.

Stephanie Myers, a spokes-woman for Vail Resorts, which owns both resorts, said it’s the snowiest January ever at those resorts. Heavenly was established in 1955 and Kirkwood in the early 1970s.

Since Nov. 1, more than 31 feet of snow has fallen at

Kirkwood — a total of 381 inches, Myers said. She said 365 inches has fallen since then at Heavenly Mountain. Northstar near Truckee, California has received 283 inches this month, and 376 inches for the season.

At South Lake Tahoe, Fire Chief Jeff Meston said the roof collapsed and broke a sprinkler pipe at a liquor store at about 2:45 a.m. Mon-day.

The National Weather Service said the 7.6 inches of snow recorded at Reno-Ta-hoe International Airport Monday morning was the 17th largest 24-hour snow-fall since it started keeping records in 1937.

Prehistoric global warming By Dennis Cassinelli

Now that winter has set in, I want to discuss global warming and cli-mate change in general, and in a way that you have likely never seen or heard about before. It seems that this topic is a priority in the world of politicians and the news media who seem to be obsessed about what may happen to us if the climate continues to change in a way that adversely af-fects our lifestyle.

Not everyone believes in the the-ory of global warming being caused by the activities of mankind. The non-believers reason that climate change is a natural phenomenon and people have no control over weather or the climate.

Believers in global warming think pollution from industrial activity and automobile emissions has put so much pollution into the atmosphere that a greenhouse effect is occurring, causing adverse climate changes. The term “Global Warming” has in more recent times evolved to be called simply “Climate Change.”

Scientists determined long ago that there have been major prehis-toric fluctuations in the climate of the Great Basin that affected the migrations of early inhabitants of the region. Archaeologists and an-thropologists generally agree that at one time there was a significant extended period of hot, dry weather that lasted more than 2,000 years. This was known as the Altithermal stage, which lasted from approxi-mately 7,000 to about 5,000 years ago. This extended period of hot, dry weather followed the cool, moist Holocene stage marked by the gla-cial melting that followed the Pleis-tocene Age. That stage had left many of the valleys between the mountain ranges of Nevada filled with lakes and marshes teeming with abun-dant wildlife. It was during that stage that mankind first began to ap-pear in significant numbers.

Once the hot, dry Altithermal stage set in, drastic changes oc-curred that significantly altered the lifestyle of the scattered bands of human inhabitants. Because hu-

man beings at that time depended on water and the wildlife associ-ated with marshes, lakes and rivers, there was a natural migration away from the region when the hot, dry weather began to shrink those wet-land resources. It was during the Altithermal stage that all the lakes and marshes that composed ancient Lake Lahontan completely dried up, with the exception of a small por-tion of Pyramid Lake. An incredibly harsh desert environment emerged where game was scarce or nonexis-tent, and where vegetation struggled to survive.

During that time, there was no Walker Lake, Washoe Lake, Great Salt Lake or any of the traditional rivers that had fed those bodies of water. Lake Tahoe did not com-pletely dry up, but the level of Tahoe did drop several hundred feet. Proof of this still can be seen today in pho-tos taken by divers at the bottom in parts of the lake where massive tree trunks are still preserved. These trees grew and thrived when the water dropped to that low level for a period of several hundred years. Because the lake level was far below the natural outlet during this length of time, there certainly was no wa-ter flowing into the Truckee River. This was global warming on a scale we can’t even imagine today. All the above is factual information that can be confirmed through studies done by the Desert Research Institute where I once worked as a Univer-sity of Nevada Engineering student. Archaeologists and anthropologists have written extensively about how this extended drought affected the people living here during that warm cycle.

Certainly, based upon the ancient history of the earth, climate change will continue to occur, whether or not people are involved.

Western drought watchers eye Lake Mead water levelBy Ken RitterAssociated Press

LAS VEGAS — Arizona would be the first state to feel the effects of Colorado River cutbacks if the wa-ter level continues to fall at drought-stricken Lake Mead, an environmen-tal advocacy group says in a new report.

The Western Resource Advocates reached its conclusion as the vast reservoir behind Hoover Dam sits at 39 percent of capacity.

The group concluded that farmers would be first to feel the pinch; that suburban growth in Phoenix and Tucson could be slowed by cutbacks; and the cities themselves could face water reductions by 2020.

“These cuts are looming because Arizona’s ‘bank’ for 40 percent of its water supply, Lake Mead, is being drained faster than it can be filled,” said the report titled “Arizona’s Wa-ter Future: Colorado River Shortage, Innovative Solutions, and Living Well with Less.”

“Lake Mead has this growing bath-tub ring, even though everyone is using their legal amounts of water,” said Drew Beckwith, an executive with the organization.

Central Arizona Project official Chuck Cullom said water manag-ers have known for years that more river water is promised to users than enters the system — even in non-drought years. He said Arizona is not alone.

The Colorado River brings Rocky Mountain snowmelt from headwa-ters in Wyoming, Colorado, Utah and New Mexico downstream to Ar-izona, Nevada, California and Mex-ico.

“There is a structural deficit that poses risk to all water users,” Cullom said.

But he added that “current projec-tions show it’s highly unlikely that we would affect municipal supplies in this decade.”

The report release came the same week that outgoing Interior Secre-tary Sally Jewell warned that key drought contingency plans aimed at reducing the risk of water short-

ages in seven Western states remain unfinished as a new U.S. president takes office.

One issue involves a binational share-the-pain pact reached in No-vember 2012 with Mexico that is set to expire. It lets Mexico store water in Lake Mead, which helps keep the lake above a trigger point where the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation would cut water deliveries to Arizona and Nevada.

The lake level on Friday was 8 feet above the line — down about 130 feet since 2000. The lake was last at full capacity in 1983.

Lake Mead is the biggest reservoir in the system that irrigates Southern California crops and provides drink-ing water to some 40 million people.

Federal water managers say it’ll take a lot more snow and rain than parts of the West have seen in recent weeks to make a dent in the drought.

“Even if we have a good water year like we did in 2011, that doesn’t undo 16 years of drought,” said Rose Da-vis, a Bureau of Reclamation spokes-woman in Nevada.

In 2011, the river flow into the Lake Powell reservoir east of the Grand Canyon was 47 percent above nor-mal, Davis said. Projections this year, so far, are for a 12 percent bump.

The bureau says there’s still about a 50-50 chance that a water shortage declaration will be made in August to trigger cuts in supplies to Arizona and Nevada in January 2018.

Arizona could lose 11 percent of its annual allotment, and Nevada could lose about 4 percent. The amount of water at stake could, combined, serve more than 625,000 homes. But deliveries to farms in Arizona would be affected first.

Nevada water managers say the ef-fect would be felt less in and around Las Vegas, which draws 90 percent of its water from Lake Mead, because conservation and reuse programs have in recent years cut the amount of water the area uses.

Western Resource Advocates said it reached its conclusions after crunching data from the Arizona Department of Water Resources and Central Arizona Project.

Cougs in command of High Desert LeagueSpanish Springs opens up three-game lead with 73-58 win over RenoBy Nathan ShoupSparks Tribune Sports Editor

Staked with an 18-point lead late in the second quar-ter, Jalen Townsell drove baseline and elevated.

By the time he landed, he had thrown down what very well could be the dunk of the year, posterizing a Reno defender and sending the vociferous student section into a frenzy. It was an early punctuation mark on what turned into a convincing 73-58 home win over the Hus-kies.

“Jalen has that ability on multiple nights,” Spanish Springs coach Kyle Penney said with a grin.

The eighth-straight win puts Cougars (15-4, 10-0) in an awfully good spot to win just their second league ti-tle ever. They are now a full three games ahead of sec-ond-place Reno (14-5, 7-3) with just six games remain-ing.

“Spanish Springs is re-ally good,” Reno coach Matt Ochs said. “That’s what hap-pened.”

The victory was thor-ough for the home team. They jumped out to a 23-14 lead after the first quarter and never led by fewer than 12 the rest of the way after starting the second quarter on a 13-2 run.

Townsell ending up fin-ishing with a team-high 20 points, including two on another rim-rattling dunk, an alley-oop from Marcus Loadholt, moments after his first highlight of the night.

Loadholt started the night slowly by his standards, scoring just six points in

the first three quarters. Still, thanks largely to Townsell and Korbin Marcum (13 points), the Cougs took a 53-

38 lead to the final quarter. Then the reigning player

of the year took over. He scored 12 of his 19 points in

the fourth to help swell the lead to 68-44 – the largest of the night.

Reno did not bow out,

scoring 14 of the final 19 points from that point to finish with the final 15-point margin.

“I feel good,” Penney said. “I’m super proud of our kids. Their preparation and executing the game plan was very, very good for three and-a-half quar-ters, if not for the whole game. Fatigue hurt us a lit-tle bit late, but overall, man, game plan and execution and scouting report, they did a great job.”

Tommy Challis was a bright spot for Reno in the loss. The junior big man was nearly indefensible in spurts and finished with a game-high 22 points. Drew Rip-pingham scored 17.

It just wasn’t enough to keep up with Spanish Springs’ offense, which had one of its best shooting nights of the year.

“They play hard. They’re well coached. They have the defending player of the year. And if Marcus isn’t the player of the year, Ja-len should probably be the player of the year,” Ochs said. “They shot the ball re-ally well.”

Spanish Springs was without starting senior guard Bryce DeLong, who did not suit up. Penney could not comment on his absence or when/if he will return.

The Cougars remain at home tonight and will host Reed (6-12, 5-5).

Spanish Springs took care of Hug on the road last Tues-day night, 69-39, to remain the last unbeaten team in 4A North play.

Raiders survive scare after upset win at McQueenSparks Tribune

Reed survived a trap game on Friday night, hanging on to edge Hug, 57-53, at home.

The Raiders improved to 6-12, 5-5 in the 4A North three days after an upset win at McQueen and four days before a road game at first-place Spanish Springs. Hug sunk to 3-7 in the 4A North.

“(It was a) trap game,” Reed coach Joe Genung said. “They (Hawks) are a well-coached team that plays hard and to their strengths.”

Jeremy Ramos finished with 17 points. Lincoln Turner was right behind him with 16.

Reed goes to first-place Spanish Springs tonight.

reed 75, mcQueen 70Genung called it the big-

gest win in his young tenure. It’s hard to argue with him.

Ramos and Turner com-bined for 56 points (29 and 27 respectively) to help Reed build a late lead then hang on and escape with a 75-70 road win at McQueen last Tuesday night.

“It’s huge for us,” Genung said. “I wouldn’t say it’s the most important thing, be-cause you have seven more games … This is a big win. It’s a big win for us.”

With the win, the Raiders (5-12, 4-5) moved into third place in the High Desert League. The Lancers also sit at 4-5 in 4A North contests, but currently don’t hold the tiebreaker due to the loss.

Reed nurtured a narrow 67-66 lead with less than four minutes left in the back-and-forth contest. The Raiders led by as much as six in the first half and the Mustangs led by as much

as 11 before the two teams seemingly passed the lead back and forth like a tennis rally.

Ramos, who scored 11 of his game-high 29 points in the fi-nal quarter, then hit consec-utive threes to give Reed its largest lead of the night, 73-66, with 2:39 remaining.

“It’s good to have your seniors show up,” Genung said of Ramos and Turner. “They shouldered a lot of minutes in the second half. You rely on your seniors and give them a chance to con-trol their destiny. And they did.”

Following Ramos’ bar-rage, the Raiders appeared to shut it down. Over the fi-nal 159 seconds, they did not hit another field goal, turned the ball over three times, and went just 2-for-8 at the free throw line.

“We’re just going to have to get after each other in prac-tice,” Genung said. “Our intensity in practice has to match the game. We have to make it hard for ourselves to execute something orga-nized. Because the tendency there at the end, you even saw it with a couple turn-overs, is everybody wanted to run to the ball like it was sixth-grade basketball. We have to execute, even when the pressure’s on.”

Fortunately for them, Mc-Queen didn’t connect on another field goal down the stretch, either.

The Lancers got within 73-70 with 1:23 left following a pair of Tavian Cheaton-Day-ton free throws, but drew no closer.

The second half featured three ties and three lead changes. McQueen led by as much as three. Reed’s late 73-66 advantage was its larg-est of the night.

Reno entered the game tied with Spanish Springs atop the HDL standings and now sits alone in first place at 18-4, 9-1. The Cougs fell into a tie for second place with McQueen at 14-6, 8-2.

“They (Cougars) have improved a lot,” Reno coach Shane Foster said. “Art has done a great job over there. Art’s always been the offensive guy and they run their stuff. They run their pick-and-roll. At times we defended it well, and other times we didn’t defend it well.”

Mackenzie O’Connell was left open behind the arc late in the third and hit nylon to get the Cougs within 42-30. Then the athletically su-perior Huskies asserted themselves.

Spanish Springs did not hit another field goal until the 3:08 mark in the fourth, after the lead deficit swelled to 24 – the largest of

the night. “They hit some shots,” Cardenas said. “We

fell asleep defensively a couple times, but they hit some shots. They’re a good team. They’re going to make you pay when you make mis-takes.”

Despite the game being relatively close through much of the third quarter, Reno was in control throughout. The Huskies led 16-8 after the first quarter, 28-18 at the half, and 46-30 going to the fourth.

Cougars clinch 10th consecutive league titleBy Nathan ShoupSparks Tribune Sports Editor

Cole Drescher had a mes-sage for his coach before Wednesday’s pivotal home dual against Reno.

“He was talking about it and said, ‘coach, if we’re the team we think we are, we should take care of business tonight,’” Spanish Springs coach Joe Imelli recalled.

The Cougs took care of business.

Spanish Springs steam-rolled Reno, 61-15, clinching its 10th consecutive league title with its 59th straight league dual victory.

“I’m really pleased with the group we have this year,” Imelli said. “I’ve gone on the record saying it’s a tremen-dous group … It’s got a great team feel. For them to earn that tonight, against Reno, who I think is a really good team … Gosh dang, that’s a good feeling.”

Spanish Springs benefited from three forfeits and won eight of the other 11 matches

– six by pin.Nick Poalillo (120), Ja-

cob Ruiz (126), Joey McKay (152), Logan Klonicke (182), Casey Preston (220) and Tyler Barats (285) all won by fall.

Anthony Sissom (106) won on points, 9-0, and James Daniels (132) won, 9-4.

Reno’s Andrew Berreyesa, the 170-pound state cham-pion favorite, was one of only two Huskies to win by fall. Connor Pearson (145) also won via pin.

The dominant win wasn’t anything new for the Cougs. They’ve won their four league duals by a combined score of 277-39. The setting, however, was.

The dual was wrestled in Spanish Springs’ large gym – where the team hopes to return in three weeks and win the program’s first state title. It was the first time in Imelli’s tenure a home league dual wasn’t wrestled in the auxiliary gym.

“I was kind of worried

about enough people being in here,” Imelli said. “(Ath-letic director) Art (Ander-son) was worried about too many people in the small gym. I thought it was a pretty cool venue.”

Spanish Springs con-cludes the regular season on Wednesday night at Reed (2-2) then prepares for the re-gional tournament, Feb. 3-4 – at Reno.

Pack suffers another head-scratching loss to FresnoDefeat snaps 13-game winning streak at homeSparks Tribune

Fresno State would have a much better overall record if it got to play Nevada more than twice.

The Bulldogs continued to vex Nevada on Saturday afternoon, handing the Wolf Pack its first home loss of the season, 81-76.

The win was Fresno’s first con-ference road win of the season, al-ready with losses at non-contend-ers San Jose State and Air Force.

Nevada (16-4, 5-2) dropped into a tie with Boise State for first place in the Mountain West with its second defeat of the season to the Bull-dogs (13-7, 5-3). Nevada lost 77-76 at Fresno on New Year’s Eve. Nevada is 1-5 against Fresno State the last three seasons.

In the loss to the Bulldogs three weeks ago, interior play was huge problem. Nevada was outscored 50-16 in the paint. Those troubles again arose on Saturday afternoon in front of 10,236 at Lawlor Events Center.

The Wolf Pack was outscored 42-24 in the paint and was outre-bounded 35-22. Nobody in a Ne-vada uniform finished with more than three rebounds.

Nevada is statistically the best re-bounding team in the conference, but is suddenly struggling on the glass. Nevada was outrebounded by 10 in Wednesday’s win over Air Force.

Nevada was unable to get the

massive home crowd into the game early, sluggishly falling into a deep 31-14 hole. It was never able to make up the difference, never leading.

The Wolf Pack rallied in the second half, getting within two on eight difference occasions and trailing by just a point three times. It never managed to string together enough stops, however, to get over the hump.

Seemingly myriad whistles sent Fresno to the free throw line down the stretch, quelling Nevada’s nu-merous rally attempts. The Bull-dogs finished 20-of-25 at the free throw line. Nevada hit 14-of-19 freebies.

Marcus Marshall led all scorers with 25 points on 8-of-16 shoot-ing.

Depth issues were once again ap-parent for the home squad, which was outscored 29-2 on the bench.

Nevada won’t have long to hang its head over the defeat. It goes to Boise State on Wednesday night with first place on the line and NCAA Tournament at-large aspi-rations dwindling.

Bookies make Patriots a 3-point pick with record over/underBy Tim DahlbergAssociated Press

LAS VEGAS — Odds-makers like the New En-gland Patriots by a field goal over the Atlanta Falcons in what experts think will be a high-scoring Super Bowl.

Most are also expecting an offensive showdown, with an over/under of 59 at some sports books the biggest ever in Super Bowl history.

“You’ve got the Patriots

and then you have this scor-ing machine in Atlanta,” said veteran oddsmaker Jimmy Vaccaro at the South Point. “There should be a lot of points on the board.”

The AFC title game had barely entered the fourth quarter when oddsmakers around town began putting up their numbers. There was agreement all around that the Patriots should be a 3-point pick, though some had the over/under at 58 in-

stead of 59.There was also agreement

that the legal handle on the game could exceed the record $132.5 million bet on last year’s Super Bowl.

“I think we have a real shot at a record handle,” said Chuck Esposito, oddsmaker for Station Casinos. “These teams are huge offensive teams and you’re going to see a lot of action on the total.”

Oddsmakers had plenty of history on their side in find-

ing a line that could stick at 3 points all the way until kick-off. The Patriots have won four Super Bowls and the margin of victory in all but one was 3 points.

“Three seems to be the pre-vailing number for them in Super Bowls,” Esposito said.

Westgate Super Book oddsmaker Jeff Sherman said the Super Bowl handle might have gone even higher had Green Bay made the title game. Atlanta doesn’t have a

big following among casual sports bettors, but there will still be plenty of action.

“It won’t be any problem,” he said. “There are plenty of people with opinions on the game.”

Sherman said the 3-point spread will probably stand because if it moved to 3 1/2 casual bettors would be put-ting money on the Falcons and if it dropped to 2 1/2, the so-called “sharps” would be all over the Patriots.

Spanish Springs boys in control, Pack running out of slack, Whitehead transferring to Nevada

The Spanish Springs boys basketball team has put itself in a pretty sweet spot.

The Cougars cruised past Reno at home on Friday night, 73-58, and now own a three-game lead over the Huskies for first place in the High Desert League with just six games left.

Barring an epic collapse down the stretch, the Cougs will also likely own the tiebreaker over Reno thanks to a sweep of the six Sierra League teams. In essence, Spanish Springs owns a four-game lead with six games left. It’s hard to see Spanish Springs losing two more games this season, let alone four.

So what does it all mean?Well, to state the obvious, the Cougs are

on the verge of just the second league title in program history. But this team has loftier expectations than winning the HDL.

It’s not time yet, but at some point, the team will shift its focus to the 4A North re-gional tournament. Spanish Springs is yet to win a regional title. Then again, no Spanish Springs team has been this talented.

If the Cougs hang on and win the league title, they would host the Sierra League No. 4 seed in the quarterfinals – avoiding Carson, Galena and Bishop Manogue – on Feb. 14.

Again, if they can advance, they would play the winner the Sierra League No. 2 and the HDL No. 3 for a spot in the regional title game. It would be Spanish Springs’ second regional title game appearance ever.

In 2014, they lost to Reno in the regional title game, 51-48. The game was played in Spanish Springs. The semifinals and title game will be played at Carson this winter.

There is a lot of basketball to be played, and Spanish Springs’ depth could take a hit with a key starter missing Friday’s win over Reno for an unknown reason, but this is clearly the team to beat in the 4A North.

The Cougars are the last team in the 4A North without a regional loss.

nevAdA’s mArgin of error shrinking

We’ve learned a lot about Nevada this year.Marcus Marshall’s range extends beyond

the doors at Lawlor Events Center. Jordan Caroline is the energizer bunny. And it doesn’t like playing Fresno.

The Bulldogs completed the season sweep of Nevada on Saturday afternoon, handing the Wolf Pack its first home loss of the sea-son, 81-76.

With the frustrating defeat, Nevada dropped into a tie with Boise State for first place in the Mountain West. Nevada plays at Boise State on Wednesday and needs to turn in one of its strongest efforts of the year to avoid a two-game conference skid.

On a larger scale, the loss is another blow the Wolf Pack’s NCAA Tournament at-large aspirations.

Nevada wasn’t going to run through conference play with just one loss. It’s likely

not going to end 16-2, either. There aren’t any great teams in the Mountain West, but there are a lot of respectable ones: Boise State, New Mexico, San Diego State, Wyoming, and Fresno – apparently.

Collectively, how-ever, the conference is going through a

lull. It’s hard to imagine anyone other than the tournament champion advancing to the NCAA Tournament – even Nevada.

Fresno simply isn’t relevant (on a national scale) and now Nevada has two losses to the Bulldogs, including one at home. The Bulldogs entered Saturday’s contest with an RPI of 124.

The win was Fresno’s first on the road in conference play. It had losses at San Jose State and Air Force. Those Spartans and Falcons have a combined two other Moun-tain West wins.

Nevada’s RPI dropped from 30 to 43 with the defeat.

Maybe Nevada goes on a special run and puts itself in the at-large conversation. I wouldn’t count on it. It’s already had to pull out a miracle at New Mexico and sweat out wins over San Diego State and Air Force. Without any marquee (possible) wins left on the sched-ule, each loss will only be a resume stain.

It may be Mountain West Tournament title or bust for the 2016-17 Wolf Pack.

Bishop Manogue is just one win from clinching the Sierra League title and Reno has mowed through the High Desert League.

We now know the pecking order in Nevada.

In his State of the State speech this past week Gov. Brian Sandoval boasted that the Tesla gigafactory near Sparks, in addition to making batteries for electric cars, would also be mak-ing electric motors and gearboxes, adding 550 workers.

Left unsaid was who would pay for the police and fire, schools and other government services those workers would need, since Tesla was given $1.3 billion in tax breaks and credits, as well as promises of millions more to improve roads, by lawmakers in a special session in 2014.

Tesla is owned by billionaire Elon Musk.

Nevada takes care of billionaires.Nevada lawmakers in a special

session in 2015 agreed to dole out $215 million in tax abatements and credits plus millions in road im-provements to entice Faraday Fu-ture to build an electric car factory at Apex in North Las Vegas. The company is owned by a Chinese billionaire.

As if on schedule, legislators in 2016 agreed to pony up $750 million in tax money to help build a domed football stadium for the billionaire owner of the Oakland Raiders, Mark Davis, and Sheldon Adelson, billionaire owner of the Sands casino corporation and the Las Vegas daily newspaper. The stadium would also require the state to spend $900 million for road improvements.

Almost as an afterthought, San-doval tossed out a $60 million sop to the parents who have applied for education savings accounts (ESAs) approved in 2015 by lawmakers. The ESAs were blocked when the state Supreme Court said ESAs are constitutional but the funding mechanism devised by the law-makers was not.

Under the law, parents who opt out of sending their children to public schools would be given an education savings account that

Lawmakers must address public worker retirement reform

In his State of the State speech this past week Gov. Brian Sandoval tossed out tax money like trinkets and candy from a

Mardi Gras parade float — a couple million here for this or that educa-tion program, a few million there for a veterans’ home, millions for a medical school, more millions for an engineering school and pay raises for state employees.

“This session, my budget includes a 4 percent cost of living adjustment and increased funding for health benefits to recognize the shared

sacrifice and dedication of our state em-ployees,” the smiling gover-nor said about his spending proposal for the coming two years.

Overall, Sandoval proposed a 10 percent increase in the general fund portion of the state budget, even though the cost of living increase for 2016 was

only 2 percent.What the governor did not ad-

dress was how the taxpayers are going to pay for the commensurately higher retirement pensions that are tied to the salaries of those state employees.

Nor did he take note of the fact his proposed budget — total budget, not just the general fund — is 49 percent higher than the total budget he pro-posed when he first took office, while over the past decade the Nevada me-

THOmaS mITcHEllcOmmENTaRy

The lost art of grandparentingI grew up with my paternal

grandparents maybe 20 min-utes away by car. I spent hours and hours with them. Imag-

ining. Pretending. Climbing the huge, ancient grapefruit tree. They sent me to Vacation Bible School at their church, and I made a “Trust in the Lord” plaque out of shellacked kidney beans.

I grew up with my maternal grandparents maybe 35 minutes away by car. I spent hours and hours with them. Imagining. Pretending. Taking years off my life breathing their second-hand cigarette smoke. (To this day I think fondly of my grandpa whenever I smell a Zippo lighter and hear the “kuh-clank” of it opening.) They took me to Disney-land, Mexico, and The Phoenix Zoo.

I grew up with present, active grandparents. They knew me. Loved me. Protected me. I was in the 6th grade when my dad’s dad died. A freshman in college when my mom’s mom died. Then my name-sake grandpa died. Finally, at 95, my paternal grandmother died. I was 32.

28 years later, and I feel like my childhood is an artifact, exhumed from an archaeological dig.

My children know their grandpar-ents, and are blessed at that. But not the way I knew mine.

My kids’ grandparents are 4-6 hours away by car. They see the el-ders maybe 2-6 times each year. But none of my three boys will remem-ber hours and days of staying them. Instead, they will remember visiting them. Nice, but not the same.

And my kids might already be a minority! A swelling number of American kids are barely cognizant of some nice little ol’ lady that lives in Philadelphia. Birthday cards and Christmas presents come from her. Occasionally the kids are herded to the phone for an awkward conver-

sation with this veritable stranger. And that’s it.

I’m a profes-sional public speaker. In the last couple of years, the most requested presentation

is called “The Top Five Cultural Devolutions of the Past 100 Years in America.” I mean by that things we’ve radically changed and nor-malized that have cost us dearly in the equation of what it means to be human.

Number Two on my list is the casual subordination or even discarding of the power and impor-tance of grandparent relationships as it regards the rearing of whole, healthy children.

Grandparents are Big Medicine. Huge. In ‘hunter/gatherer societies, or later agricultural societies, the elders did the bulk of child care and child rearing. Younger, more able-bodied parents worked every waking hour just to squeeze out a living. While mom and dad worked, gramma and grandpa were primar-ily responsible for passing along the legacy of the family ‘story,’ the traditions, the values, the religion.

Four factors are chiefly responsi-ble for this devolution:

• Our culture is ageist and deatha-phobic. We keep “old” and “dying” as far away from us as possible. We normalize the idea that “it’s a hard-ship” if an aging parent lives with you, or even very close to you. The elders have bought in to the idea, too; most middle class people think in terms of “not being a burden on my children.” Translation: have enough money when you’re old to be able to afford assisted living.

It’s ridiculous. Lucky children have whole, authentic lives. That means they see people get really old. They seem them weaken. They see them die. This is not a bad thing. It’s a venerable thing. Why do I even have to type that?

• Our culture idolizes The Indi-vidual and the so-called “Nuclear Family” is The Individual’s natural extension. Tons of modern parents have no more precious driving ethos than “Nobody raises my kids but me,” and this includes you, grand-parents!

Ladies and gentleman, that’s not merely arrogant. It’s insane.

• Then there’s the idol of Mobility (in service to Vocation and money-making.) We go wherever the primo job beckons, even if it means putting 2,000 miles between ourselves and our kids’ grandparents.

• Divorce rates have skyrocketed in the last century, and divorce often complicates already geographically challenged relationships. Often the ‘bad blood’ of divorce estranges grandparents from grandkids. In the last 20 years, “Grandparent Visitation Rights” have made some headway in the courts. But several times each year a weeping gramma or grandpa will be in my office telling their broken-hearted story of how the death or divorce of their son/daughter has left them with no access to their grandchildren.

Faithful parents make a priority out of fostering, promoting, and facilitating rich and present rela-tionships between the children and the elders. When we dismiss the elders, and worse, normalize their subordination or absence from our children’s lives, the tribe is made smaller, weaker, and poorer.

OPINIONObama’s real legacy

As this is being writ-ten on the last full day of the Barack Obama presidency,

it might be well to have a final discussion about his vaunted legacy.

In his farewell speech to the nation recently in Chicago, he opened by calling for a peace-ful transition of power. In the days that have followed, it has been anything but “peaceful”. Most striking are the series of executive actions that Obama has taken prior to his departure. Chief among them would have to be his Secretary to the United Nations’ absten-tion on the vote censuring Israel’s actions. This was followed by Secretary of State John Kerry’s speech excoriating Israel. It is doubtful that Kerry’s speech could have been given without the express approval of the White House.

This was followed by Obama granting a new list of commutations to his record total. Thus far, he has exceeded every president before him by granting over a thousand reductions of crim-inal sentences. Highlight of this procedure was the reduction of Private (Chelsea) Manning.

Accomplishments of which Obama is espe-cially proud are Obama Care and his evolve-ment on the matters of LBGT rights, especially that of gay marriage.

According to the incoming president, Obama Care will be repealed and replaced.

While he (Obama) has stated that if he were eligible to run for a third time, he would cer-tainly have beaten Donald Trump. Apparently he still will not accept the fact that Hillary Clin-ton was indeed his third term.

Citing his high approval rating while leaving office, he said that he may have lost the PR battle in getting his message across to the general populace. In this regard, he has constantly blamed FOX News and Rush Limbaugh for their misrepresentation of him and his policies. What he doesn’t seem to realize is that the afore-mentioned two entities are only a sliver of the media. His greatest allies in both protecting him and his actions, while lionizing his abilities and accomplishments, were the majority of print and electronic media outlets.

When the neophyte Senator Obama cam-paigned and won his first primary, the sup-plicant media failed to adequately vet him. Instead, they viewed him as a transformational figure that would unite the country and heal the racial divide. As it turned out, no matter what Obama says about better racial relations today, he was very instrumental in the on-going perception of law enforcement being too hard on the black population.

When it comes to his presumed successor, Hillary Clinton, all the king’s horses and all the king’s men could not drag her across the finish line. In addition to himself, Hillary had such surrogates as vice president Joe Biden, the First Lady, former President Bill Clinton, Harry Reid, Chelsea Clinton and a number of lesser lights declaring that Donald Trump was “unfit” to be President.

For those lachrymose liberals who refuse to accept the new President, it would seem to be time to get over their angst and realize the nation has chosen a new commander-in-chief. While many of these individuals cite the fact that Hillary won the popular vote, a fellow

Cinema, literature and other notes

Was “Citizen Kane” the greatest movie ever

made? It was voted that way five consecutive times by critics for Sight & Sound magazine.

The film is loosely based on the life of newspaper tycoon William Randolph Hearst. I particularly like it because I taught Hearst’s first-with-the-worst yellow journalism in a newspaper history course at the University of Nevada, Reno.

(That why I’ve seen it umpteen times on DVD.)

The 1941 movie starred Orson Welles, was directed by Welles, produced by Welles and featured screenplay by Welles and Herman Mankiewicz. It was nominated for nine Acad-emy awards.

Welles was a youthful wunderkind who first gained fame and notoriety with a 1938 radio broadcast of “The War of the Worlds” on The Mercury Theatre of the Air.

The film is badly marred by the phony Rose-bud theme. Much of the film hinges on long scenes of investigation into the meaning and origin of Rosebud. It is wasted footage.

The movie ends with the “Rosebud” name on the sled of eight-year-old Charlie Kane. It is a filmic device that doesn’t work.

But that false note is more than compensated for by the brilliance of Welles and a film packed with drama.

The movie opens on a quote from the Samuel Taylor Coleridge poem, “Kubla Khan.” The poem starts: “In Xanadu did Kubla Khan / A stately pleasure-dome decree: / Where Alph, the sacred river, ran / Through caverns mea-sureless to man / Down to a sunless sea.”

Xanadu is pictured as the huge, imposing Hearst castle in San Simeon, California.

Much of the film turns on Susan Alexander Kane, Charles Foster Kane’s second wife in the movie. It is played by Dorothy Comingore.

Susan Kane is shown as a talentless opera star but forced by her husband to perform anyway on many stages throughout the country.

Near the end of the picture she utters much truth about Kane-Hearst. She says: all you ever cared about was your “goddamn circulation” and your nightly visit to the newspaper office to check the “bulldog edition.” (Bulldog is newspaper jargon for the first of several morning editions.)

Mrs. Kane emphasized the words circulation and bulldog with scorn and derision.

The main reason the film is so good is that Welles had absolute control over every scene and aspect of the shooting--something unheard of in Hollywood today.

berlin’s finesT hoTel in 1932“Grand Hotel” won the Academy Award for

the best picture in 1932. A world-weary patron of Berlin’s finest hotel, played by Lewis Stone, says at the beginning and ending of the film: “People come. People go. Nothing ever happens.”

Not much does happen in this often muddled and uneven movie. It has a great cast from the era of stars, including Lionel and John Barry-more and the gorgeous Joan Crawford.

Nevertheless, any film Greta Garbo performs

The last question“The earth isn’t going any-

where. We are!” - George Carlin

Are we pox, predator, protector or merely proprietor of the beautiful tiny blue

marble flying around at 66,000 mph?

If not for divine intervention by an asteroid about 65 million years ago (reduce it to a few thousand if you’re a hardcore fan of bestselling fic-tion), we’d be scaly reptilian descendants of the scary velociraptors of Jurassic Park fame. Their brains were just starting to fold when nuclear winter wiped them out, allowing their favorite snacks, our relatives, to emerge from the ground to begin our conquest.

So what have we done to repay the Good Lord for our good fortune? There will soon be about nine billion of us. President Trump can buy us all for a buck each and have change left over on his Amex.

We have evolved in a world with violence hard-wired into its very DNA, from volcanoes cooking the primordial soup of our spawning, to eating each other, to killing for far less justifiable means.

Poet e.e. cummings wrote that we should “pity this monster mannunkind not. Progress is a com-fortable disease: your victim (death and life safely beyond) plays with the bigness of his littleness.”

Abraham Lincoln once mused “If we could first know where we are, and whither we are tending, we could then better judge what to do, and how to do it.”

Now we know whither we are tending: Into the sun in a billion years or so, plenty of time for us to go the way of the velociraptors and for our hardy replacements (rats? roaches?) to see if they can do better.

What if we survive our exploitive and suicidal tendencies? If so, how?

Try innate electricity. Our brains produce chem-ical electricity, the essence of communication. We primitives just don’t know how to use the power very well.

This monster mannunkind’s basest motivation is survival, the primary protector of which is fear. Flight or fight?

Perhaps we can evolve so that the current trend of our primitive computer age continues, ever-im-proving electronic communication aided by the ar-tificially intelligent tools we continue to create.

If and when all communication inhibitors are removed and we can converse wordlessly via self-generated electricity, we will have overcome fear because each will instantly know everyone else’s intentions. No need to second-guess. No need for red buttons to launch missiles.

But will we so evolve at peril to our humanity as defined by our emotions. Love or hate? Laugh or cry? Joy or sorrow? Flight or fight?

Will we miss transfiguration by morphing into semi-organic transformers?

Art, music, beauty - all may survive but will our super-intelligent, perfectly attuned descendants see their purpose when human expression is in-stantly communicated and thus homogenized by internetic-kinetic energy?

A world without mystery, surprise and, yes, fear, becomes a world without wonder. When all is known, will everything that makes us human get lost?

That is the question.Godspeed.Be well. Raise hell. / Esté bien. Haga infierno.

would equal a portion of the statewide average the state spends per public school pupil, currently that is about $5,700. Low-income parents and parents with special needs children would get 100 percent of that amount, while all others would get 90 percent, or about $5,100 currently.

That money could be spent on private schooling, tutoring, transportation, distance education and/or homeschooling.

“We’ve heard from the thousands of Nevada fam-ilies about how crucial it is that we give them freedom of choice in the education of their children,” Sandoval said in his speech. “I look forward to building a bi-par-tisan solution to get this done. It is time to give Ne-vada families more choice.”

Well, a few Nevada fami-lies perhaps.

It turns out the $60 million — $25 million in the first fiscal year and $35 million in the second — would fund about half the 8,000 to 9,000 ESAs already applied for so far in the first year and about two-thirds of them in

the second year. To add insult to injury, a

spokesman for the governor said Sandoval is open to limiting who is eligible for ESAs by imposing means testing — the more a family earns, the less the family could get back from its own taxes.

When Sandoval an-nounced his funding pro-posal for ESAs, Republicans applauded and Democrats sat on their hands, prompt-ing the governor to quip with a chuckle, “I knew it would be a split house on that one.”

In 2015 not a single Dem-ocrat voted in favor of authorizing ESAs. Now the Democrats have majorities in both chambers of the Legislature, making that bi-partisan solution look like a pipe dream.

The governor had his chance to fund ESAs in that special session, while Republicans still held majorities in both cham-bers, in which lawmakers approved $750 million for that football stadium in Las Vegas, but he failed to put that on the agenda. Just not as important as the billion-aires.

Nevada doles out billions for billionaires, but pittance for parents. — TM

dian household income has fallen 17 percent.A part of the growth in state government

spending has been due to burgeoning pensions for state employees, who upon retirement are guaranteed a percentage of their highest salary level — which officially is 70 percent after 25 years, but can often top 100 percent after vari-ous pay add-ons and gimmicks are employed. Public employees in Nevada can retire in their 40s and get paid more in retirement than they were paid for actually working.

In 2008 the Las Vegas Chamber of Com-merce called on the Legislature to change public employee retirement benefits from the current direct benefit plan to a direct contribution plan, similar to a 401(k), be-cause the expenditures were growing at an unsustainable pace.

In 2011 a report drafted for the Nevada Policy Research Institute by Andrew Biggs, an economist with the American Enterprise Institute, concluded the Nevada Public Em-ployees’ Retirement System is vastly under-funded by more than $40 billion.

“What people don’t realize,” Biggs said to a luncheon audience back then, “is your typical public sector pension plan is a lot more generous than what a typical person is going to get in the private sector. Let’s just take a person and run their wages through what they would get from PERS versus what they could get from a typical 401(k) plan combined with Social Security, because public employees here don’t participate in Social Security. They both pay the same amount on average. The total contribution is about the same, but the benefits for someone under PERS — for a full career employee — is somewhere around 50 percent higher.”

In 2015 Reno Republican Assemblyman Randy Kirner introduced Assembly Bill 190, which called for reforming PERS, which at the time was costing nearly $15,000 per Nevadan per year and growing.

The changes Kirner proposed would have applied to future state and local government workers and not current ones.

AB190 would have introduced a hybrid — part defined benefit, part defined contri-bution.

The bill also tied the minimum retirement age for receiving full benefits to that allowed under Social Security, though police officers and firefighters would be able to retire with full benefits 10 years earlier.

Kirner argued his bill would have a min-imal impact on taxpayers, but the PERS administration claimed it would cost mil-lions to implement. Kirner withdrew the bill so the funding could be studied and he could re-introduce it again this year, but Kirner decided to not seek re-election.

Instead, state Controller Ron Knecht has offered a bill nearly identical to Kirner’s, but it is questionable whether it will get much of a hearing before a Legislature that is now comprised of majority Democrats in both chambers.

This past summer NPRI’s Director of Transparency Research Robert Fellner released a 36-page report warning that if the economy stumbles the PERS “fantasy eco-nomic forecasts will be replaced by immedi-ate bankruptcy — leaving every Silver State household with a sudden, implicit, $50,000-plus tax liability.”

Nevada lawmakers have been kicking this can down the road so long it is now a 55-gal-lon drum ready to explode.

The Savvy SeniorJim Miller

Dear Savvy Senior,

Are caregiv-ing expenses tax deductible? I provide a lot of financial support to my elderly mother and would like to find out if I can write any of it off on my taxes.

Supporting Son Dear Supporting,There are actually several

tax deductions and credits available to adult children who help look after their aging parents or other rela-tives. Here are your options along with the IRS require-ments to help you determine if you’re eligible to receive them.

DepenDency DeDuctionIf you’re paying for more

than 50 percent of your mom’s living costs (housing, food, utilities, medical and dental care, transportation and other necessities), and her 2016 gross income (not counting her Social Security benefits) was under $4,050, you can claim your mom as a dependent on your tax re-turn, and reduce your tax-able income by $4,050.

Also note that your mom doesn’t have to live with you to qualify as a dependent, as long as her income was un-der $4,050 and you provided more than half her financial support.

If your mother does live with you, you can include a percentage of your mortgage, utilities and other expenses in calculating how much you contribute to her support. IRS Publication 501 (see irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p501.pdf ) has a worksheet that can help

you with this. To receive this, or other IRS publications or forms via mail, call 800-829-3676.

ShareD SupportIf you share the financial

responsibility for your mom with other siblings, you may be eligible for the IRS multiple-support declara-tion. Here’s how this works. If one sibling is providing more than half the parent’s financial support, only that sibling can claim the par-ent. But if each sibling pro-vides less than 50 percent support, but their combined assistance exceeds half the parent’s support. In that case, any sibling who pro-vides more than 10 percent can claim the parent as a dependent. But only one sib-ling can claim the tax break in any given year. Siblings can rotate the tax break, with one claiming the parent one year, and another the next. The sibling who claims the parent as a dependent will need to fill out IRS Form 2120 (irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f2120.pdf) and file it with his or her tax return.

MeDical DeDuctionSIf you can’t claim your mom

as a dependent, you may still get a tax break for helping pay her medical costs. The IRS lets taxpayers deduct money spent on a parent’s health care and qualified long-term care services, even if the parent doesn’t qualify as a dependent.

To claim this deduction, you still must provide more than half your mom’s sup-

port, but your mom doesn’t have to be under the $4,050 income test. And the deduc-tion is limited to medical, dental and long-term care expenses that exceed 10 per-cent (or 7.5 percent if you’re 65 by Dec. 31, 2016) of your adjusted gross income. You can include your own med-ical expenses in calculating the total. See the IRS publica-tion 502 (irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p502.pdf) for details.

DepenDent care creDitIf you’re paying for in

-home care or adult day care for your mom so you are free to work, you may also be able to claim the Dependent Care Tax Credit, regardless of whether or not your mom qualifies as a dependent on your tax return. This credit can cut up to $1,050 off your tax bill for the year. In order to claim it, you must fill out IRS Form 2441 (irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f2441.pdf) when you file your federal return.

check your State In addition to the federal

tax breaks, more than 20 states offer tax credits and deductions for caregivers on state income taxes too. Check with your state tax agency to see what’s available. For links to state tax agencies see tax-admin.org/state-tax-agen-cies.

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

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

SUDOKU

Jan. 24, 2017 17

DEAR ABBY: My moth-er-in-law has begun doing the “pop-in.” My husband passive-aggressively hinted that he wished he had known she was coming over. Her response was, “I’m your mother; I don’t need to let you know when I’m coming over.” I regard this as total disrespect.

She has done this plenty of times -- including popping in when I was having a dinner with my parents and chil-dren, which made her mad because she and my father-in-law hadn’t been invited.

She did the pop-in again last week. My husband, four children and I were about to sit down to a family dinner when she rang the door-bell. I didn’t have enough food for her and my father-in-law, which made us all uncomfortable. She made a sarcastic comment, “Gee, I guess I shouldn’t have come over,” then she sat in the liv-ing room staring at us as we ate.

I have begged my husband to say something, but he says it would be disrespectful. I said it is disrespectful that she comes over without checking with us first. What’s your take on this? -- NO POP-INS, PLEASE

DEAR NO POP-INS: You have my sympathy. Your mother-in-law is a handful. Your husband may be so cowed by his mother that he’s afraid to assert himself. You are under no obligation to en-tertain anyone who pops in, including her. The next time she shows up unannounced, remind her to call first and suggest that she come back some other time.

DEAR ABBY: My fiancee has a 15-year-old son, “Ja-son,” who spends countless hours in his room playing Xbox with his buddies. He is loud and obviously has fun, by the sound of it. However, when he comes out for meals, he doesn’t communicate or answer questions like, “How was school?” or “What do you think of that?”

My fiancee and I don’t live together. We see each other three times a year for two to three weeks at a time. My fiancee says Jason acts the same way whether I’m here or not. He isn’t close with his dad, either.

Is this a phase that he will grow out of, or does he need professional help? We get along, but there is never

much conversation. I ask questions to encourage inter-action, but it hasn’t been suc-cessful. -- FRUSTRATED IN MONTANA

DEAR FRUSTRATED: Whether Jason’s going through a phase or not de-pends on whether he has al-ways had poor verbal skills and ignored questions he was asked. He might be re-luctant to answer because he’s having problems socially or academically in school, or because the opinions you’re asking for concern things he has never given much thought to.

Boys that age are some-times less verbal than when they are older, and their de-pendence on social media has contributed to it. Teens who spend most of their time in the virtual world tend to have lower verbal abilities than those who spend less.

If you and your fiancee are truly concerned, she should talk about this with a coun-selor at Jason’s school and ask if counseling or interven-tion of any kind is needed.

DEAR ABBY: My sister and I are senior citizens with health problems, so we share an apartment to minimize ex-penses and to be sure some-

one is around if needed. My brother and his wife some-times socialize with us.

The problem is, my brother has a friend. The friend and his wife constantly use foul language. I don’t like hearing the F-bomb used as an ev-eryday part of speech. I have tried modeling correct be-havior and not cursing, but it hasn’t worked. How can I ask them to stop without alienating them and losing my brother and his friend? -- APPALLED IN NEW JER-SEY

DEAR APPALLED: In recent decades there has been a coarsening of the language many individuals use on a daily basis, and it’s

regrettable. However, that doesn’t mean you must listen to it and remain silent.

The next time it happens, tell your brother and his friends that when they use the F-bomb, it makes you and your sister uncomfort-able and ask them to please refrain from dropping it when they are with you. That’s not an unreasonable request, and it shouldn’t alienate anyone.

Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Manufactured Housing Division1830 East College Parkway, Suite 120Carson City, Nevada 89706-7905

PLEASE TAKE NOTICE THAT, in accor-dance with a Notice of Lien filed by Donner Springs Village (“DSV”), 4465 Boca Way, Reno, Nevada 89502 dated November 16, 2016, a 1981 Silvercrest 34’ x 64’ manufac-tured home, serial no.

The sale will take place at 4465 Boca Way, #134, Reno, Nevada, and will be made without covenant or warranty, express or implied, as to title, possession, encumbrance or condition of the home. The lien may be satisfied prior to the sale with payment in the amount of $3,422.88.

Notice: DSV does not permit non-Owner occupied homes, NRS 118B.0185, therefore, pursuant to NRS 118B.170(1), a prospective purchaser (bidder) must make application for and be approved for tenancy. Also, all homes sold in DSV are inspected for con-formity with DSV’s Rental Agreement and Residency Rules and Community Procedure. A prospective purchaser must be approved for tenancy and sign an Agreement prior to tendering a bid at the auction to remedy all defects/deficiencies noted in the sale inspec-tion within ninety (90) days after purchase. If a prospective purchaser does not either intend to reside in the home or to make the requisite repairs, prior to tendering a bid at auction the bidder must provide proof of financial ability to remove the home from DSV within 10 business days after purchase. The successful bidder will be responsible for payment of delinquent personal property taxes, if any, and a $40.00 title fee prior to the State of Nevada Manufactured Housing Division issuing a Certificate of Ownership.

You may contest the validity of the lien by filing a Notice of Opposition in the Justice Court of Reno Township on the form provided by the court, or you may use any other legal procedure available to you, including as set forth in NRS 108.350 and 108.355. If you challenge the lien by court process, including the Justice Court process, and do not prevail the court can order that you pay for the other party’s attorney’s fees and court costs. If that happens the fees and costs can be added to the lien amount that you will have to pay.

FOOD NEVADA | HOW TO HYGGE

Drop by Campo for lunch!137 LOS ALTOS PKWY | SPARKS | CAMPORENO.COM

By Penny Bach

Iknow, for some, winter is a magical time of year, but for me

it’s gloomy, cold, dark and I just need to wait it out. My aunt

gave me a book this year for Hanukkah, “How to Hygge: The

Nordic Secrets to a Happy Life” – the book explains how I can get

“hygge” – which includes food and drink like cardamom buns,

muesli, meatballs, glogg, etc. It’s a Danish concept, Hygge, which

is actually a word of Norwegian origin, is pronounced “hoo-gah”

and loosely translates to “coziness” – however after reading the

book, hygge is really more of an attitude or mindset. It’s like the

feeling many of us get when we head home for the holidays but it

doesn’t have to go away when the holidays end. Now having been

to Norway a few times, the Danish have some of the longest,

harshest winters, yet they are one of the happiest countries in the

world. Why? I now believe it is because of “being hygge.” Hygge

wants me to brew a pot of tea (a kettle is one of the more impor-

tant aspects of Hygge). Hygge can be used as a noun, adjective,

or verb and people are calling it the “the second Viking invasion”.

Think of winter as your time to hibernate, forget about a man

cave, and turn your home into a bear cave. Avoid large, empty

Getting HyggeFor me winter is misery once the holiday season ends. On January 2nd each year I start to look atthe calendar, finding when we spring-forward into Daylight Savings time (March 12, 2017) andcountdown until it will officially be spring (March 20, 2017).

rooms, as well as spaces that look cold. Ditch

fluorescent lights and use other types of

lighting to make big rooms feel smaller and

warmer. Light candles, use lamps with warm,

soft-lit bulbs, and get a fire going in the fire-

place if you have one. If not, get a fake fire-

place, or even a TV with a fake fireplace video

will work. Do things you never have time for

like actually listening to the crackle of a fire

while wearing a sweater and woolen socks and

enjoying some tea or mulled wine – appreciate

the small Hygge things; knit, draw, read.

Speaking of being Hygge – that’s how I feel

at O’Skis Pub & Grille. The pub and grille gives

me a quality of coziness and comfort espe-

cially when Adam the bartender mixes me a

Bloody Mary and plunks down their Shep-

herd’s Pie. O’Skis is eclectic, and a bit rustic.

O’Skis memorabilia is a feast for the eyes but

even better is the feast I get to order from

O’Skis menu; from fish tacos to nachos,

corned beef, fish and chips and let’s not forget

their burgers – a large-all-beef patty weighing

in at a 1/3 of a pound and make sure to get the

blue cheese dressing to dip your fries or onion

rings in. O’Skis Pub & Grille, 840 Victorian

Avenue, Sparks 775-359-7547 (oskispub.net)

The countdown is on for Valentine’s Day

2017. People often ask me what to give the

“man” in their life. My suggestion each year is

a restaurant gift card. Give the gift of dining

out. It is such a pleasant experience and one

that I take for granted because I’m constantly

eating out; work. According to The National

Restaurant Association they expect about one-

quarter of American adults to dine out on

Valentine’s Day; making it the second most

popular holiday for dining out after Mother’s

Day. What factors are involved in choosing

where to dine? Forty-two percent of people

pick their favorite restaurant or their compan-

ion’s favorite, 21% select a restaurant with a

romantic atmosphere, 13% pick a restaurant

with a special offer, and 11% opt for a restau-

rant they haven’t been to before. Back to the

gift – nearly one-third of adults would like to

receive a restaurant gift card as a Valentine’s

Day gift; 42% men and 13% women.
