Is this you? Packing
By Trina Machacek
When the cave man and the little cave woman went on a trip they didn’t pack one single thing. ey had all they needed on their person. One loin cloth each that they were wearing, and a club. at was it. As time went by the need for maybe a comb came along so the little woman tucked a comb into her long tangle of hair and away they went. Oh yes, all cave ladies had long hair. How else would the cave man drag her from her family cave to his!? But. Yes, a hair covered “but.” Now we can’t seem to leave on a trip, even for overnight, without some of nearly everything we own. And that suitcase had better be on wheels or I am not going. I just got back from a short couple of days and this subject entered my brain as I was unpacking when I got back home. Oh, there were dirty clothes but for the most part I put away things I never even used. When I packed, besides one extra pair of undies and socks, I thought I would need an extra tube of toothpaste and two hairbrushes, some microwave popcorn, a dryer sheet—in case I had static cling, three pens and two note pads, and the list goes on. Laughing at my absurdness I le most of the things I didn’t use in the suitcase and put it in the closet. I did take out the popcorn; I wouldn’t want it to go bad in my suitcase waiting for the next trip. Who knows what I will add to those things next time I pack?
We as a society, I have noticed, are very attached to the comfort of our homes. So much so that even though we want to go on a wonderful vacation to “get away” from it all. We still want to take “it all” with us. Like me taking popcorn. My stars I was staying in a hotel, in a city, with more stores than you can shake a stick at. But just because I knew there was a microwave in the rooms, I thought I should take something to eat. It wasn’t like I was going to starve! ere were even no less than 5 different places to eat in this hotel. And an ice cream shoppe too. Be still my heart.
en there is the clothing aspect of traveling. Coming from the high mountain desert where we can go from winter at 6 a.m. to spring at 9:15 a.m., over to summer around 2 p.m. and a studdle mixture of the all the seasons around dusk. We think that the weather is like that everywhere. So packing has to cover all seasons too. I put in a sweatshirt, t-shirts, long and short sleeve button up shirts. Pants and shorts. Warm and cool socks. Took three different types of coats and jackets. is was when I was off to Las Vegas. Where the only reason I needed a sweater was because the air conditioning in the restaurant was on.
I suppose we should consider just one roller equipped suitcase is enough. In the 1920’s people had these HUGE trunks full of their everything. ey must have weighed about forty pounds empty. Full they were nigh up to over a hundred and fiy pounds. Unless you were Mary Poppins. She carried everything she needed in her magical little bottomless carpet bag. at’s what I need. A bottomless carpet bag. Oh the possibilities.

Eureka Early Learning/Boy’s & Girl’s Club Ground Breaking
By Winnona Eversgerd
Cold, windy weather didn’t stop the strong turnout for the groundbreaking ceremony of the new Eureka Early Learning Center on Wednesday, April 22, 2026. Community members gathered at the building site on 5 Whistler Street to celebrate a milestone which has been years in the making.
Commissioner Rich McKay opened the ceremony by reflecting on the five-year journey that led to this moment. He credited the many people who helped turn the idea of a licensed childcare center into a reality, beginning with the dedicated “Moms Group”— Lindsay Stith, Irma Davila, Ashley Kemp, and Nikki Cooley. eir grassroots efforts began with a survey sent to 400 Eureka residents. With 200 responses and 85 percent expressing the need for a daycare, the project gained the momentum it needed to move forward.
e new center is being constructed by Michael Clay and Co. and will be operated by the Boys & Girls Club of Truckee Meadows. Commissioner McKay also recognized past and present Eureka County Commissioners—Mike Sharkozy, JJ Goicoechea, Marty Plaskett, and Mike Schoenwald—along with county staff who supported the project: Jeb Rowley, Jayme Halpin, Scooter Mentaberry, Kim Todd, Ted Buetel, and Ashley Kemp. He also thanked Caroline MacIntosh of Ely for her continued support of rural Nevada communities.
Representing the Boys Camp; Girls Club, Mike Wurm spoke about the organization’s involvement and introduced several key supporters. He noted that the Boys & Girls Club now serves six counties in Northern Nevada and has received strong regional backing. Wurm praised Chairman McKay for his leadership, describing him as motivated, excited, and deeply committed to the people of Eureka County.
Wurm also acknowledged the Boys & Girls Club team working on the Eureka project: Julie Rowe, President; Colie Glenn, Chief Development Officer; Amairani Gonzales, Vice President of Grants & Government Affairs; Jennifer Schramm, Area Director for Ely; and Calista Tate, Director of Early LearningCenters.
Calista Tate emphasized that the new facility will be more than a daycare—it will be a preschool offering curriculum for children from six weeks old through Pre-K. She explained that the center is designed to provide a safe, nurturing environment that supports physical, emotional, social, and cognitive development while preparing children for kindergarten. She added that the project is not just about constructing a building, but about creating a place where children, families, and staff feel happy, safe, and respected.
Wurm noted that Eureka is the smallest community in which the Boys Camp; Girls Club has ever built a center, and again credited the “Moms Group” for bringing the need to their attention. He also highlighted the influence of Caroline McIntosh, a former Lyon County superintendent whose passion for rural Nevada helped expand Boys & Girls Club services into smaller communities. He added that the project positions Eureka for future growth while maintaining the high standards already seen in local healthcare and education.
e ceremony also highlighted the financial support behind the project. Initial funding came from Governor Lombardo’s office and the Finance Committee, which awarded a $3.2 million grant. Eureka County contributed the land, infrastructure, and a long-term lease agreement with the Boys & Girls Club. e UNR Extension Office invested $850,000 and will occupy part of the building for student enrichment programs, including 4-H. Additional contributions included $300,000 from i-80 Gold in partnership with Franco Nevada, and $150,000 from McEwen Mining. Wurm expressed gratitude for the generosity of these organizations and noted that additional funding is still needed for both Phase I and Phase II.
Despite the cold, the highlight of the day came during the Shovel Ceremony, when local children— bundled up in hard hats and holding small shovels— helped break ground. It was a fitting end to a celebration centered on supporting Eureka’s youngest residents. e event showcased not only the hard work behind the project, but also the widespread support from across the community and Northern Nevada.

stop getting Locked Out A Simpler Way to Handle Passwords
reuse the same password. It is completely understandable, but it leaves you vulnerable.
use LOngeR, siMPLeR PAssPHRAses
One of the easiest improvements you can make is switching from short passwords to longer passphrases. Instead of something like “Truck123,” think in terms of a short sentence.
For example, a phrase like “BlueTruckOnHighway50” is much harder to guess but easier to remember. Length matters more than complexity. A longer phrase without special characters is oen stronger than a short, complicated password.
is simple change alone can make your accounts more secure without making them harder to use.
Let yOuR PHOne DO tHe WORK
Most modern phones and internet browsers now include built-in password managers. ese tools can securely store your passwords and fill them in automatically when you log in to apps and websites.
On an iPhone, this is handled through iCloud Keychain. On Android, it is built into your Google account. When you create a new account, your device can suggest a strong password and save it for you. e next time you log in, it fills it in automatically.
is removes the need to remember dozens of passwords or manually keep track of them. You just unlock your phone, and it takes care of the rest.
March brough some busy days for the Sheriff’s Office. e patrol of main street has been effective in getting the traffic to drive slower and safer. We urge you to use your seatbelts every time you drive. Even if you are just going to the store or post office. Rember to drive defensively. e life you save could be your own, or that of your family. School will soon be out for summer, watch for children during the day.

WHAt ABOut WRiting tHeM DOWn?
For some people, especially those who prefer a physical backup, writing passwords down is still an option. e key is to do it carefully. Keep the list in a safe place, not out in the open, and avoid labeling it clearly as “passwords.” ink of it as a backup, not your primary system.

You do not need to fix everything overnight. Start with your most important accounts, like email and banking. Update those first using longer passphrases or saved passwords on your device.
From there, build better habits as you go. Let your phone save new passwords, and avoid reusing the same one across multiple sites.
Passwords are not going away anytime soon. But they do not have to be a constant source of frustration. With a few small changes, you can make them easier to manage and far more secure at the same time. Stay sharp, Eureka!

Pine valley Highway 278 Claims Another Vehicle
On April 26, 2026 there was a traffic crash on SR 278 MM 40 involving just one vehicle. e truck was hauling double tankers, and the rear tank rolled on its side. It was hauling diesel, and approximately 4,000 gallons was spilled. e driver was not injured in the crash.
Over the next couple weeks, crews will be in the area mitigating the spill. Please use caution when the crews are out working.
ECSO (Eureka County Sheriff’s Office) would like to thank all of the Firefighters, EMTs, NDOT workers, NHP Troopers, ECSO Deputies that worked the crash scene.

Quite a different connotation from the word “shingles” today!
