I am a rut follower. I feel comfortable in any one of a hundred ruts I follow. A rut, with its high sides and smooth bottom will always keep me moving forward. But. Yes, a tattered, rutted “but.” If I only followed ruts what would happen to my wings that are in place to fly me to places that I can only imagine? Ah, and there is the rub. e rub on the sides of my rutted life. To remain rutted, or fly. Okay, here’s the story... Change is for shoes and shirts and sheets. Change is something we all do on some level. Automatically. en for some reason something changes that just doesn’t sit very well. My latest change was quite small, it did however rub me the wrong way. When I sit to write these fun “Is is You?” stories, I start by centering the “Is is You?” at the top, go down two spaces and put the title. Somehow at some time an editor requested all the lines to be lined up on the le. Le, with those two lines clear over to the le margin. Got it? Clear over to the le! It just felt, well unnatural. Oh I did it. Aer all I am just the writer, the editor is all knowing—and has a hand on the money bag to pay me. Going all the way to the le, drug me out of my comfortable “Is is You?” spacing rut. A little thing I know, I know. But a thing just the same. en it dawned on me. I really was in a rut. A centered rut. Coming out of my comfy well centered rut had ill effects. Each time I sat to write I kept going to the le side of the page and starting. en time and time again the whole story just went kafooie.
It would be like if you were let’s say, baking cookies and put the flour in before the sugar. at would be so wrong. Or you were changing the oil in your truck and you took the filter off before taking the plug out. Now we all know that would just be wrong, and terribly messy. A rut is a rut is a rut. To be drug out of it? Nonsense.
ere are ruts that last just a short while and some will last an entire lifetime. We, the rutted and the nonrutted seem to be quite happy in both circumstances. So why rock the boat? Because we are here to, “ROCK ON!”
I challenge you to point out a rut you are in. You have the same two cups of coffee each morning? You drive the same route and park in the same spot to work? You cut you lawn the same way—every time? You make chicken the same way? Fold your undies exactly the same way? Well welcome to the world of rut-ness.
Personally I quit writing all the way to the le. I went back to center-ville and I am quite content with my decision. But there are other ruts this chick-a-dee sloshes around down in. I will not drink a soda unless it has a full cup of ice to begin with. I do my wash on Saturday mornings. Not Sunday. Not Wednesday. Saturday. No rhyme or reason. Just Saturday.
Oh there is a change coming though. I can feel it. I have used the same brand of lemonade for many years. It makes two quarts. Well someone introduced me to these single packets. You can use them in a bottle of water. Or! I can use them in my carry around with me everywhere metal Rocky Mountain Tumber that has a lid. A lid with a hole that I put a straw in. Not just any straw. It has to be one from Jack-in-the-Box. ey fit my demure pie hole just right. Where was I? Oh yeah. ese little pink lemonade packets are perfect for one fill of water—with lots of ice. Yes, that is about as un-rutted as this mind can grasp. Baby steps, my friends. Baby steps.

Mid-Term Election News Relating To Eureka County-Plus
Trina Machacek
e primary election official date to vote is June 9, 2026 with early voting beginning on May 23.
If you are a registered voter, you will have already gotten your primary ballot. On the inside of the front cover there is an extensive list of places, times and dates to vote.
But in case you still have a little bit of interest here is what has been happening in Eureka County concerning a few races on the primary ballots.
THIS JUST IN MAY 14, 2026
Make no mistake, word from the Eureka County Register's Office is that Rich McKay is still in the race for another term as Eureka County Commissioner.
e big race will be the run for Commissioner. is is absolutely a two-man race. It’s been reported by another paper that McKay is out. e truth is that he will be on your ballot for you to choose if you desire.
RACE FOR COUNTY COMMISSIONER
McKay has a track record that he is proud of. He says it’s hard and actually impossible to keep everyone happy. To the best of his ability, he has tried to do what is always best for the residents of Eureka County. As an example: Will he put in a sewer system in Crescent Valley? Preliminary costs say that projects could start at $50 million, so that may not be an option. Maybe some kind of grant for funds to help those who need a septic system could be worked out. He never promises something that huge without much discussion and responsible planning with all involved.
Raine is a new-comer who hopes to be the newest commissioner in a very long line of men and women who have undertaken the job of the business of Eureka County. Making promises to various groups, Raine hopes to be the newest commissioner in a very long line of men and women who have undertaken the job of the business of Eureka County. It’s a hard pill to swallow when promises are made without backing up those promises. Mr. Raine is ready though. He plans to learn as he goes.
RACE FOR EUREKA COUNTY SHERIFF
Two law minded men have thrown hats in the ring to fill the next 4-year term of Eureka County Sheriff.
Sheriff Miles Umina and Justice Court Bailiff/Deputy Jason Flanagan.
Umina–e current Sheriff is Miles Umina. Umina was appointed unanimously by the Eureka County Commissioners to take over the position vacated by Jesse Watts as he le the service of the county under what some still feel was a dark cloud and successful recall.
Aer filing at the Eureka County Courthouse for Sheriff, Umina posted, “I officially filed for office yesterday, March 2. In the short time I’ve been in office, the relationships that have been made with State and local agencies/departments and the community engagement and support has been amazing. I have much more to accomplish in Eureka in the time to come. I look forward to this campaign season to meeting and speaking with everyone in the community.”
Umina is coming up on 25 years in public service. He took over the job and has worked nearly nonstop at getting the shambles of the Sheriff’s office he walked into back into order.
Miles and his wife, Kristan have made their home in Eureka just buying a new home within the year. ey own and operate e Aerlife Antiques and Oddities shop on main street in Eureka.
Sheriff Umina has a very detailed and informative website and Facebook page that gives his accomplishment experience and goals he has for the job of Sheriff of Eureka, County.
Flanagan–As a Deputy for Eureka County Jason felt his service would be better spent as the Justice Court Bailiff. He took over that position when Jeri Sanders retired.
Flanagan reports having over 20 years of experience in law enforcement. He was brought into Eureka County as a hire for and by Watts. As was Umina. Flanagan was a double hire as his wife, Allison is also a deputy for Eureka County’s Sheriff’s office. Aer filing for the position, Flanagan posted, “is is a pivotal year for Eureka County, with the potential for a new District Attorney, a new District Court Judge, a new Sheriff, and several other county and state positions on the ballot. I encourage everyone to reach out to the candidates, learn about who they are, understand their core values, and know what they hope to accomplish if elected.” Jason also has a Facebook page where he posts his thoughts and hopes for what could be his new office as Sheriff if he is victorious in this two-man race.
A FEW MORE NOTES ON PRIMARY RACES
Nevada will be filling a U.S. Representative seat. A seat that has been held since 2011, yes that is 14 years by Mark Amodei. He has announced his retirement.
In this primary race we will have fourteen (14) Republican and eleven (11) Democratic hopefuls for this two-year term job.
Front runners are out shaking hands and kissing babies around the state. In Eureka so far, we have seen and heard from David Flippo. He met with residents over coffee and was hosted by and shown around town by Sheriff Umina.
In a short visit Mr. Flippo discussed a few of his issues that he feels need immediate attention.
ey are:
• American Energy Independence
• Economic Growth & Prosperity
• Secure Our Border
• Support Law Enforcement
• Cut Wasteful Government Spending
• Defend Our Constitutional Rights
Mr. Flippo is a Christian, Father, Grandfather, Conservative Republican, and a battle-tested American Patriot with a proven record of strong leadership and problem-solving.
OTHER POSSIBLE RACES OF EUREKA INTEREST
We will be voting for incumbent Governor Joe Lombardo or one of the other 12 candidates. Additional jobs in public service that are on your primary democrat or republican ballots are state treasure, attorney general secretary of state. State controller and lieutenant governor.
One last one is the nonpartisan seat on the University Board of Regents for our district, District 8. ere is one seat for this 2-year term office.
ere are four (4) hearty souls running for this seat. One of which is the incumbent and our local Pete Goicoechea.
Pete has served this county as a county commissioner for 16 years then went on to serve in the State Legislature and moved on to become a Nevada State Senator. During his last term as Senator, Goicoechea was appointed by Governor Lombardo to the Board of Regents.
When asked at a Soil Conservation Dinner about his seat on the board, he talked of how the regents are an important piece of the higher education aspects of Nevada. He laughed at the amount of reading, adding that this job as regent is rewarding and fulfilling.
e other three running for this nonpartisan office are; Lori Lane, Karmen LaShauna Miller and K. Talib-deen.
As the primary and then general election comes around it is your right and privilege to vote. It is also your immense responsibility to structure your ballot as to choose wisely and for the best person for the job they are applying for.

artist Trading Card Party
By Kaylee Contreras and Braylen Hubbard
What a fun night! On Tuesday, May 11, 2026, the Eureka County School Art teacher, Abby Sweet, hosted a get together for all students who are taking or have taken her art/ceramic classes. A few other teachers joined the fun that was held at the local Eureka Depot. Food, drinks, and art supplies were provided. is small party was all about getting along, listening to music, and making trading cards. What are Artist Trading Cards, you may wonder? Well, they are small warmups we turn in every week. It's a small art piece full of imagination and skills.
We were able to get a few insights and opinions about the party from a few students! Here is what Darianna Lopez had to say, “e party was fun! I liked making new cards and being able to trade them for even cooler ones.” Liam Sullivan likes artist trading cards because they allow for time to practice with many different mediums. ey weren’t the only ones to enjoy the artist’s trading card party either; we personally loved it! e food and snacks were so delicious and creating trading cards with other artists’ creations was amazing. To experience other artist’s art style was so interesting.
e Eureka County Star will feature items sent to us by students from the Eureka County Schools. Specifically, but not limited to, the 7th and 8th graders whom we are proudly supplying copies of our weekly papers to throughout the school year. Education through the newspaper...What an idea!

Presbyterian Bell Back in Eureka
By Vada Hubbard
On May 1, ten people from Virginia City, about half the congregation of the Presbyterian church there, arrived in Eureka to take “the bell” that has hung in Eureka’s local Presbyterian church for the past 98 years.
e group, led by Howard Bennett, a clerk of the parish in Virginia City, took “the bell” from atop the church, loaded it on a truck and aer stopping for a small picnic, headed out for Virginia City.
Albert Biale, one of the seven remaining members of the local parish and custodian for the church was notified of the bell removal by a neighbor to the church. Upon investigating Biale was informed by Bennett that they had received authorization from Robert McNutt to take “the bell” for the Virginia City parish… Marcia Elliott, curator of the local historical society, pointed out that “Virginia City Presbyterians have the same rights to Eureka’s bell as Washington D.C. has to the Liberty Bell. However the Liberty Bell belongs to Philadelphia, even if it isn’t the nation’s capital anymore.” e Eureka historical society is willing to take responsibility for “the bell” if it remains here.
e disputed “bell” whose factual history is varied, was cast in 1878 by VanDuzzen & Ti at the Buckeye Bell Foundry in Cincinnati, Ohio. Because it has been part of Eureka for so long, local citizens interested in keeping “the bell” here are calling a meeting for ursday, May 27 at 7:30 p.m. in the courtroom. It is hoped that “the bell” will remain in Eureka and possibly become part of the historical display planned for the Sentinel building museum.
Editior’s note. e end of that story is that a group of citizens did end up retrieving “the bell” and it was the main attraction during the 4th of July parade that year. It sat upon the flat bed of a red farm truck and was rung up and down the street by Eureka Historical Society President Jerry Machacek. “e bell now is on permanent display outside at the Sentinel Museum for all to see and enjoy. e moral to this story is— “Don’t Mess With Eureka.”

What is the Eureka Recreation and Tourism Board?
By Trina Machacek
Your Eureka County Recreation and Tourism Board (the Rec Board) is governed by the Eureka County Commissioners. e board is made up of five members from local businessmen and women who are given the power to grant financialvarious requests to fund events, pay for advertising and other appropriate needs to enhance the uniqueness of Eureka. In funding these requests, the ending value is to create interest in Eureka County and thus increase tourism. Tourism brings money back into the community in several ways.
e Rec board helps fund things like, e Rodeo Club, e Car Show, e VFW Soball Tournament fund raiser, the VFW Memorial Park, Eureka Restoration, Eureka Main Street, Eureka Baseball League and our Old Time Fiddlers Contest just to name a few.
Money from visitors to our area comes from people stopping and eating at our restaurants. It is hoped that visitors will be staying in our motels and Air B-n-B Inns, buying fuel and spending money in local stores and establishments. By using this money for advertising the Rec Board promotes and gets Eureka in front of the eyes of those who may want to visit. Or have family that comes to stay and enjoy our special spot on Mother Earth.
e Rec Board gets their funding by what is called a room tax. at tax is paid by every person that spends a night or more at one of our motels or B&B’s. Every hotel, motel, Airbnb throughout the state collects this room tax. It was set up through legislation and is earmarked in each county for promoting tourism. e room tax rules and regulations are included in the NRS, (Nevada Revised Statues).
As an example of your Rec Board’s advertising through Errol Porter their Media Specialist, the board advertises with e Eureka County Star by sponsoring our weekly crossword puzzle. We add the banner across the top of each week’s puzzle with an announcement of an upcoming event in the community.
e five members of your Eureka Rec board are, Elmer Porter, Chairman, Robin Hicks, Secretary, Rich McKay owner with his wife Crystal of
e Sundown Lodge and Clint Willis with his wife Jamie owner of e Colonnade Hotel, both members owning their overnight facilities. Yes, that is only four!
