Shining

By Trina Machacek

at sentiment is alive and well this post Mother’s Day week of May. I am not surprised by the fact that the greeting card company is as satisfied as a team of little leaguers at a pizza parlor aer winning the big game. Yes, both are happily stuﬀed. Little boys with pizza and greeting card companies with cash from the 113 to 115 million cards sold to express love to moms everywhere. But. Yes, a motherly patted “but.” How do you choose just the right, heart felt or funny, or silly, or thankful enough card? e answer is you probably can’t and more so probably never will. I do think that moms get it though. Especially when they see their kids do something the way they themselves do things.

Over the years we all become diﬀerent parts of who raised us. Believe it or not, even I’m becoming my mother. More and more as time goes by. Oh and believe me, a lot of time has gone by already. It’s a wonder I don’t smoke those little Lucky Strike cigarettes–right down to the last half inch. Cough. Cough. Yes, my siblings and I knew how the Lucky Strike song went before we could sing Jingle Bells. We all knew LSMFT was Lucky Strike Means Fine Tobacco way before we knew the alphabet! And I could fix a scotch and soda like no bartender could. And do you know. I wouldn’t change a single thing about who my parents were or how they raised me. I can tell you that I don’t smoke and very rarely drink. And never scotch. Yuck. Even though I cling to those memories I do not follow them. Well not all of them. ere are some things that I do that my mother did. I assume most of us do something that we learned from someone who had a hand in raising us. My mom could walk into my kitchen today and know where everything is. My kitchen a mirror of how her kitchen was. My cupboard where the spices are is just as unorganized as hers was. Oh yes, it’s booby trapped. Several odd things, including an opened, half full box of toothpicks will no doubt fall out on the counter if you dare to reach in for something outside of garlic salt or paprika. And they would be round toothpicks, not those weird flat ones. Who buys flat toothpicks anyway!?

A few times in my life I have been witness to watch someone teach their little ones how to do something. Like iron a shirt. ere was a game show a few weeks ago where one of the faux questions was, “According to the university of ironing, where do you start when you iron a shirt?” I immediately said the collar. e people on the game show had three tries and all three were wrong. I thank my mother for teaching me how to iron a shirt. Oh and it isn’t just girls that learn women stuﬀ. My other half found himself lucky enough to know how to sew on the diﬀerent insignias he and his other Air Force airmen would get. at was because his mom took the time to teach him how to sew with a needle and thread. He told me he got lots of candy bars and cookies by knowing how to sew.

Where this all came from today? Well I took a break from writing and started playing solitaire on my laptop. As I sat there click aer mind numbing click, I started winning. I finally got how to play this one game called Free Cell. It finally clicked how to win and I was having fun getting some satisfaction in listening to the cards ptptptptptptptpt as they automatically flew when I finished and won a game. It hit me, that was what my mom did when she needed to have a break in her life. She played cards. I said out loud, “I am becoming my mother.”

I couldn’t ask for a better way to think of myself, than becoming Eva Russell. Happy Mother’s Day past, present and future.

Dam-me Guv-a-don Gah-ni

Community & Emergency Distribution Building Begins in Duckwater

Duckwater Shoshone Tribe Breaks Ground on Dam-me Guv-a-don Gah-ni Community & Emergency Distribution Building on April 29, 2026.

e Duckwater Shoshone Tribe proudly hosted a groundbreaking ceremony for its new Community and Emergency Distribution Building, oﬃcially named Dam-me Guv-a-don Gah-ni, meaning “Our long house, a place for gathering.” e project represents a major investment in the Tribe’s emergency preparedness, community resilience, and long-term sustainability.

e name carries deep cultural and historical significance. Generations ago, the Blackeye family established a long house that served as the heart of community life. A place where meals were shared, gatherings were held, and Shoshone families came together in celebration and connection. ough the original long house was lost to fire nearly 150 years ago, its purpose and spirit have endured. Today, Dam-ah Guv-a-don Gah-ni stands as a continuation of that legacy honoring the past while building for the future.

Tribal leadership, community members, Duckwater Shoshone Elementary School Drum Group, and partners gathered to mark the beginning of construction on a facility that will serve as a central hub for

emergency response, resource distribution, and community gatherings. Allen Mike (a tribal elder and direct descendent of the Blackeye Family) did the prayer and blessing of the grounds.

“is project reflects who we are as a people,” said Chairman Warren Graham. “Dam-me Guv-a-don Gah-ni represents unity, strength, and our responsibility to take care of one another. is building carries forward the spirit of our ancestors and ensures that our community remains supported and connected for generations to come.”

e Duckwater Shoshone Tribe extends its sincere appreciation to the project’s key sponsors, including Nevada Gold Mines, the San Manuel Tribe, and the Nevada Governor’s Oﬃce of Native American Aﬀairs, whose contributions were instrumental in bringing this vision to life. Construction of the facility is being led by Puyenpa, Duckwater's tribally owned company. Once completed, Dam-me Guv-a-don Gah-ni will serve as a vital resource for the Duckwater community, providing a safe and centralized location for emergency response, coordination, and community support services.

is project stands as a testament to the strength of cultural identity, community partnership, and forwardthinking leadership in supporting tribal nations.

Johnny’s Tech Corner Are Smart Glasses Finally Becoming Useful?

By Johnny Fitzgerald

For years, smart glasses felt like one of those futuristic gadgets that looked impressive in commercials but did not seem very practical in everyday life. Early versions were bulky, expensive, and sometimes made people look like they had stepped out of a science fiction movie.

But recently, that has started to change.

A new generation of smart glasses is becoming smaller, more aﬀordable, and surprisingly useful. Instead of trying to replace your phone or turn you into a cyborg, these newer devices focus on simple, practical features that fit into daily life.

At their core, smart glasses are regular-looking glasses with small built-in technology features. Some models include speakers, microphones, cameras, and voice assistants. Others focus more on augmented reality, placing digital information in front of your eyes while you look at the real world.

e most popular models right now are products like the Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses, which look remarkably similar to ordinary sunglasses. ey can take photos, record short videos, play music, answer phone calls, and even respond to voice commands without requiring you to pull out your phone. at may sound gimmicky at first, but there are situations where it starts to make sense.

HanDs Free ConvenienCe

One of the biggest advantages is convenience. Imagine driving down Highway 50 and being able to hear navigation directions through small speakers built into your glasses instead of fumbling with your phone. Or being able to answer a phone call while carrying groceries, working in the yard, or repairing equipment.

Because the speakers sit near your ears instead of inside them, you can still hear traﬃc and your surroundings. at makes them feel less isolating than earbuds or headphones.

Some models can also read incoming text messages aloud or let you ask simple questions using built-in AI assistants.

Potential For aCCessibility

Smart glasses may also become valuable tools for people with hearing or vision challenges.

Some newer systems can display live captions during conversations, helping users follow speech more easily in noisy environments. Others can identify objects, read signs aloud, or provide basic navigation assistance for visually impaired users.

e technology is still developing, but the practical possibilities are becoming easier to see.

tHe PrivaCy ConCerns

Of course, not everyone is excited about cameras built into eyeglasses. Privacy concerns remain one of the biggest criticisms of smart glasses.

Most current models include small indicator lights to show when recording is active, but many people still feel uncomfortable with the idea of wearable cameras becoming common in public places.

Like many forms of technology, smart glasses will likely require people to develop new social expectations and boundaries over time.

still early, but imProvinG Fast

Smart glasses are unlikely to replace smartphones anytime soon. For many people, they may remain more of a novelty than a necessity. But unlike earlier versions, the newest generation is beginning to solve real problems instead of simply showing oﬀ technology for its own sake.

at is usually the moment when gadgets start becoming useful tools.

Whether smart glasses become the next major tech trend or remain a niche product, one thing is becoming clear. ey are no longer just science fiction.

Ask A Doc!

With Dr. Ty B. Erickson, M.D. FPMRS

Dear Community,

Our community has recently suﬀered a tsunami of sorrow with the loss of two beautiful young people through suicide. ose close to them endure the collateral damage of pain, guilt, sleepless nights and hopelessness. Family and friends frequently ask, “if only I had…”

I was asked by Trina this week to write about this horrific loss.

We punish ourselves trying to see how we could have predicted and prevented these tragic events. Mental health professionals can assure you there is no method to predict precisely who will commit suicide. ere are risk factors for suicide including: depression, severe chronic pain, drug or alcohol abuse (people trying to selfmedicate through their pain), post-traumatic stress disorder. However, these are common, yet none can predict suicide. Despair and impulsivity frequently coexist. If we identify family members who seem to withdraw and have these risks factors, we should try to reach out and guide them to professionals who can help. If any of us suﬀer and have such thoughts we need to talk to someone, anyone: a friend, family member, teacher, health care provider and seek help.

I am a private person and do not oen discuss personal details about myself. However, I will today. On ursday, Dec. 10, 2020, I was taking oﬀ in my small airplane from Ogden Utah airport to fly back to Las Vegas. I was alone in the plane.

On takeoﬀ my plane lost power and I crashed. I was life flighted to the University of Utah, where I was rushed into surgery for 12 hours. ey told my family I would likely die. If I lived, I would probably be paralyzed from the waist down and likely have my le lower leg amputated. All my family were devastated and frightened.

ree days later on Sunday, my eldest daughter Tesja, put a gun to her head and committed suicide. By the time I finally woke up aer more than a week in the intensive care unit she had already been buried. I and my family suﬀer the sorrow of suicide, the sleepless nights, the constantly wet pillows stained from tears, the incessant second guessing: “if only I had…”.

is is from my personal journal, and I hope it might help someone reading this today.

“Tap. Tap. Tap…Tiny fingers curled into a knuckle gently knocked on my door. A beautiful little voice called out: “daddy come play with me…please”. I was in my second year of medical school - 1981, locked in my room studying endlessly my medical textbooks. Torn between incredible school pressure and a tiny little girl, my first born, my beautiful daughter Tesja who wanted to see me and play.

Sometimes I relented and opened the door widely and swept her into my arms and we would dance and spin around and she would glee for joy...41 years later she is gone. Oh, now I weep daily for not opening that door every time and hugging her more oen and kissing her sweet cheeks all the time. Oh, our regrets linger when loss is sudden. And the ripping of one’s heart, my heart, infinitely more regrets when she has taken her own life, and in an instant – Gone.

e haunting horror of us living zombies, residual humans, survivors of those who have committed suicide cannot be adequately described nor felt in typewritten words. e explanation is so sterile on a blank screen or even scented pink paper. Occasionally music will add a bit more depth, color and clarity but the deep recess hollowness carved into our souls, those who survive on this side of the veil cannot convey it all. Each family member, friend or society that grieves such loss does so with a diﬀerent voice, texture, color and meaning. ere is a commonality, of course – a loved one is gone by their own volition.”

Please, quietly consider without judgement the impact of my belief and how our family manages the horrific loss of our Tesja. Let me start with a beloved scripture from the Book of Revelations in the Bible written by the Apostle John about the end of the world.

revelations 21:4

“And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.”

my final thoughts:

IF there is a God, a Heavenly Father:

IF we are His children and He loves us perfectly and infinitely:

IF He sent His son Jesus Christ to perform an infinite atonement with two critical elements – taking upon Himself our repentant sins and weaknesses and was crucified and resurrected aer His own death:

IF we too will receive the blessings of the resurrection and redemption:

IF our Heavenly Father and His son Jesus Christ are infinite, omnipotent beings; and finally

IF they love us infinitely...

THEN ey will fix all the inequities of this fallen mortal condition.

THEN ey recompense all of us in eternity with grace, and love.

THEN I, my sweet wife Michelle and our other children will reunite with our daughter Tesja, who was clearly broken in this mortal life, but will be resurrected as a perfect, glorious, beautiful woman.

THEN We will embrace each other in a “family squeeze,” and our tears will be washed away.

“Ask A Doc” is written by Ty Erikson M.D. FPMRS. Besides his practice in Las Vegas, Ty travels the world helping women with medical needs. He and his family have been Nevadan’s developing mining enterprises. His son also has a farm in Diamond Valley. We are over the moon excited to have him be part of our family. Dr. Ty is straight forward with a smile. Please send in your questions to Ask A Doc! Send questions to: trina@theeurekacountystar.com

it’s tunnel Washing time

The dedicated staff of NDOT are responsible for more than 13,000 lane miles of highway and over 1,000 bridges around the state.

FROM OUR PAST 25 Years Ago

Cedar Hills Cemetery Dedication Scheduled By Connie Hicks

A dedication ceremony is planned for Memorial Day morning to dedicated the Cedar Hills cemetery.

is includes the old IOOF K & P Cemetery and the new 10-acre annex which will serve community needs. e ceremony will take place immediately following the Veteran’s program and salute.

e dedication will be held at the entry of the Cedar Hills cemetery on Cedar land on Cedar Hill.

“e board of directors is very proud to invite everyone who wished to attend,” a spokesman said.

In 1993, the Cedar Hills cemetery committee was formed by these members: Albert Biale, Rex M. Collingwood, Estelle Gensoli, Connie Hicks, and Charles Vaccarro.

is committee was organized to attempt persuasion of the IOOF to relinquish ownership of their Eureka Cemetery on the grounds of “abandonment.”

IOOF agreed to relinquish ownership and transfer title to Cedar Hills cemetery association (a non-profit organization), provided the charter contained an appropriate “dissolution cluse.”

e Eureka County commission, the IOOF and the Cedar Hills cemetery association agreed to an appropriate dissolution to the charter, article seven filed on Aug 3, 1993…

Editor’s Note: e article went on to say the new 10-acre annex would be fenced creating a community cemetery. e original fence around the original cemetery would remain reserved for those families with established plots. And that’s how the old IOOF Odd Fellows Cemetery became what we now know as the Cedar Hills Cemetery.

Big Snake Den is Discovered

While searching for a den of coyote pups at the mouth of Conners canyon near Rackey hill, White Pine County, W. C. Kirkland, government trapper and a companion, D. C. Robison, discovered a large den of rattlesnakes.

Aer using two boxes of shotgun shells, the men resorted to rocks and finally destroyed the entire colony of snakes. A count showed that there were seventy-five. e den is the largest ever reported to him in Nevada, E. R. Sans head of the United Stated predatory animal control, said.

"Youngsters" by Allen Vaughan

Eureka County has a very Republican base of voters. However, Nevada has been seen sitting on both sides of the isle over the years.

From Nevada’s Statehood in 1864 though the 1890’s Republicans numbers were more than other parties. en it began to become more competitive. Following the depression, 1932-1990’s, Nevada moved toward favoring the Democrats.

e next shi came about in the late 1960’s through the 2000’s when the state oﬀered up more of a more republican vote. Especially in presidential races.

Today Nevada is mostly seen as a toss up state. ere was a lean towards Democrats aer Obama was elected and it stayed that way for almost two decades. Now, we are considered a tight battleground state.

e huge growth in our state has seen voter registration swing like a willow branch over a mountain stream.

e right and privilege to vote is yours. Select your candidates and vote your heart, mind and conscience.
