The State of Nevada has designated July 28th as Buffalo Soldiers Day. More than a dozen African American veterans were honored during this year's celebration in Las Vegas. Each will be featured in a new calendar, highlighting their service to our country. And the face of August 20-21 is a familiar face to those of us here in Pahrump. And now, for a bit of a history lesson. On July 28, 1866 -- after the end of the Civil War -- Congress enacted legislation allowing African American men to serve in segregated units in the United States Army. These units consisted of former slaves and African American soldiers who fought in the Civil War. Those soldiers were nicknamed 'Buffalo Soldiers' by the Native Americans against whom they fought, because of their reputation for toughness and bravery in battle and the buffalo fur coats they wore in the winter. In addition to their military contributions, the Buffalo Soldiers also had a significant role in the expansion of the West by escorting settlers, cattle herds and railroad crews, exploring and mapping vast areas, and stringing hundreds of miles of telegraph lines. Buffalo Soldiers were also some of the first park rangers in the national parks of the Sierra Nevada.

Containment on the Mahogany Fire increased to 64% on Thursday as firefighters and aviation resources took advantage of weather conditions to conduct aerial water drops to suppress hotspots and continued construction of containment lines. There are 396 personnel assigned to the fire.

Crews continue to construct handline around the fire while six helicopters perform bucket drops to help cool hot spots. Crews working on the southeast side of the fire spend the nights near the fireline. This reduces the need for them to hike long distances and provides more time for them to construct fireline. Helicopters provide support by flying in food and water. Firefighters encounter steep and rocky terrain as they construct line along the flanks of the fire increasing safety concerns for stable footing and exposure.

Firefighters will be on the lookout for increased afternoon winds and dropping relative humidity that could increase fire behavior. Unburned areas combined with upslope winds and steep terrain could produce short uphill runs of fire, however, sparse fuels will help to limit fire spread.

As traffic increases over the holiday weekend, fire officials ask the public to be aware of crews working in the area and watch for fire vehicles on the road.

The Town of Pahrump is sad to announce the cancellation of the 2020 season at the Pahrump Community Pool.

The Town received approximately 45 applications for lifeguards by June 12th, but the candidates were down to 23 after the initial swim test the following week.

Nine potential lifeguards remain after two weeks of Red Cross-certified lifeguard training and a final swim test, and before results of a final written test, and further human resources screening. This number is well below the 17 needed to operate the pool safely.

Hopefully 2021 will be better.

Unfortunately a decision was made without me being notified or our input. This years 4th of July will be a little different. It will still be in the same location and time however the park will be closed and you will have to watch from your vehicles which I have no idea how, tune into to k ace radio station and you will be able to hear the music. As angered as I am about this decision. I had a feeling something like this was going to happen and I’m guessing the state had something to do with it. It was the last part of freedom I thought we had to be able to sit back and relax and enjoy what the day truly was about. The show will still be happening 9pm.
