Nevada Rural Summit meeting
Rural Nevada continues to be impacted by state, na-
tional and local changes. The Second Annual Nevada
Rural Summit October 15-16 in Mesquite will focus on
key components of rural community success, from leader-
ship to health care to education, and will explore both the
challenges and opportunities facing Nevada's rural com-
munities.
This year's summit, titled "Grassroots Community In-
volvement, Networking, Partnerships and Collaboration:
The Keys to Future Success," is inviting concerned rural
Nevadans to discuss and learn about interrelated rural
policy issues and priorities on topics such as rural health,
economic development, education, housing, infrastruc-
ture and leadership. This year's conference will put special
focus on federal lands issues and on successful partner-
ships with federal lands agencies. Experts will share infor-
mation and guide discussions focused on community-
"* based solutions.
In addition, the conference provides information about
national trends that will impact rural Nevada. An added
benefit for attendees is the opportunity to exchange infor-
mation and develop partnerships. The conference has been
organized by the following partners: Nevada Cooperative
Extension, Clark County, USDA - Rural Development,
University of Nevada Center for Economic Development,
UNR, Natural Resource Conservation Service, University
of Nevada, School of Medicine, Office of Rural Health,
Nevada Rural School District Alliance, Nevada Associa-
tion of Counties, Nevada Business Services, and the Ne-
vada Commission on Economic Development.
Nine panel discussions will address the following is-
sues during the two-day conference:
* "What's In Store for Rural Economic Development?"
* "Collective Issues in Rural Education"
* "Rural Health - Models That Work"
* "Social Capital: A Community Stash"
* "Tap Turning and Home Building: How to Make it
Happen"
* "Federal Lands and Rural Economic Development"
* "Federal Land Partnerships - Success Stories"
* "Does Growth Pay?"
* "What the Heck is Devolution?"
In addition, this year's Rural Summit will also provide
five pre-summit workshops on grant writing basics, rural
telecommunications, volunteerism, the federal lands per-
mitting process, and labor employment data and its uses
for economic development. The pre-summit workshops
will be held on October 15 from 8 a.m. to noon. The
conference will begin at 1 p.m. on October 15.

History 102 at CCSN
Community College of Southern Nevada's Extension
Courses will offer History 102 (Reconstruction to the
Present) for the first time in several years in Pahrump this
fall. The class will meet Thursdays 6-9 p.m. at the Pahr-
ump Valley High School and be taught by Paul J. Schmitt.
Mr. Schmitt, who holds a Bachelor of Science in
Geography from Arizona State University and a Masters
of Arts in American History from University of Nevada,
Las Vegas, has been teaching at CCSN since 1993. During
that time he has taught History 101 and History 102, as
well as World Geography. Asked about his training in the
two subjects Mr. Schmitt replied, "I believe the two fields
complement each other. History is often affected by geog-
raphy, and geography is unquestionably often affected by
history."
Asked about his teaching philosophy, Mr. Schmitt
replied, "I think most college students try to avoid history
because they remember high school history and having to
remember useless dates. I don't believe in dates, except as
a reference. I try to show my classes the significance
history has to their present world. For example, I can show
how the events in Bosnia today arc a consequence of
Gexa'ge Washington's actions in Western Pennsylvania in
1758 that started the French and Indian War. History
deesn't happen in a vacuum. I want my students to under-
stand why something happened and its effect, not when it
happened."
