Nye digs deep
Continued from front page
possessory- use tax cases will apparently not be settled
until years into the future.
Charlie Rodewald, of the Nye County Budget Office,
pegged the expense to the County at $600,000. Commis-
sioner Cameron McRae (Pahrump) then reworded his
motion explaining that if the unions were to receive the
retroactive pay increase then the non-union county em-
ployees that had taken a 10 percent pay cut several
months age should also have their paychecks restored
retroactive to the level before the cuts had been put in
place.
Questioned as to what the total package about to be
voted on would be, McRae estimated it at $900,000. The
commission's latest action brings the tota I PETT funds
expended since mid November 1996, that lie outside the
supposed restrictions placed on those funds, to $5 million.
EMT Class Spring 1997
One student first call was a cardirc arrest
where all attempts by Emergency Personnel
to revive the person was futile. The other
students had much lighter loads for a first
call.
Final examinations were Friday and Sat-
urd, March 28 and 29. Examiners were
JuddNSymons, Symons Medical Services;
Bill P37zyna, Mike Sullivan, and David Wil-
son of the Nye County Ambulance Service
- Pahrnmp. Many thanks to the people be-
hind the scene that helped and the children
of the students for being pediatric guinea
pigs. Our student expectant mom was due to
deliver the day of the final. She is still
waiting.

I )Service was a host to an Emergency Medical
Technician--Basic Class graduating seven new
EMT's. The Death Valley High School in
Shoshone provided class room facilities. Cer-
tified instruction was made available through
the Inyo County ROP program. Instructor Judd
Symons of Symons Medical Services in Bishop,
CA was helped by Bill Pyzyna and Mike
Sullivan of the Pahrump Ambulance Service.
Class enrollment started with 22, the class a
grueling 120 hours of weekends and nights
took its toll of students. Completing class room
work, they assigned the students to an ambu-

Pahrump blaze
Continued from frontpage
almost everyone was aware of the blaze.
"I just looked out the window and noticed that their
trailer was on fire," said Ed Norton, who was in Peg Legs
Bar at the time, "A few minutes later, the fire trucks
arrived."
The response time of the fire department in Pahrump has
come under attack as neighbors and onlookers commented
on how long it took for the fire trucks to respond.
"We were worried that the fire would jump the fence and
spread," said one' anonymous neighbor, "'It took about six
minutes for the fire department to respond and we didn't
With a $1 million shortfall in the County's group
health insurance fund, and an anticipated major increase
in the county's general insurance policy coming up in the
next few months yet to be addressed, there was no discus-
sion by the commissioners as to how PETT fund money
that had previously been earmarked to build schools in
Pahrump, the proposed Beatty Justice facility, and the
Pahrump County complex could be salvaged.

"There is no way that the fire department in Pahrump can
save a mobile home in Pahrump if they are further than six
minutes away," said Bill Ballew, a local who witnessed the
blaze, "It is an enormous expense to taxpayers. They need
to come up with a quicker response system."
The fire marshal and fire
fighters who attended to the
April 2 blaze were unavail-
able for comment as the fire
was still under investigation. 1977
