Elko Daily FrEE PrEss Friday, July 12, 2019 A5 1 NEWS OF RECORD Phyllis Perry March 1, 9, 2019 Phyllis Reta Dobbs Perry, born to John Sylvester and Marie Dobbs on March 1, 1938, in Cornish, Utah passed away unexpectedly at home on July 9th, 2019 while with family. Phyl- lis will be remembered for living a life that revolved around family, ranching, friends, and reading. She married her husband of 52 years, Watson Perry, on November 12, 1960, while residing in Challis, Idaho. Prior to meeting Watson, she discovered a love for horses that would last her a lifetime. It was through this love of horses that agreed with her husband to create an outfitting com- pany in Panther Creek, Idaho.

She took personal pride and joy in expanding and running The Silver Company while living in Challis, Idaho. While owning this store, it was common for community members to stop in and enjoy weekly chats. It was upon the sale of the store that they moved to Nevada in order to live close to her chil- dren and settled into the role of a doting grandmother. Phyllis enjoyed spending hours with her family and friends. She was always known to lend a helping hand and teaching her grandchildren how to make old fash- ioned sugar cookies.

It was while she was teaching her family to cook that she began to adjust her recipes with more modern techniques in order to spend time with her family, unbeknown to the men who raved about her baked beans, gravy, lemon pie, and macaroni salad. Her grandchildren will miss spending the time with her watching basketball, wrestling, volleyball, and soc- cer while discussing their daily lives over French toast and cinnamon toast. In the evenings, it was not unusual for people and family members to play a good game of Pinochle or Blackjack with Phyllis while enjoying an evening of laughs around the table. She was an honored member of the Lucky 13 Pinochle Club. Among her many pursuits in life, Phyllis enjoyed a long-time membership with the Silver Leaf Rebekah Fraternal Organization.

She was a co-founder for Desert Sno (snow cone business) in Elko, Nevada, The Silver Company and Panther Creek Outfitter in Challis, Idaho. Phyllis is survived by her daughter Lisa Benham and her husband Kerry, her son Robert Perry and his wife, Shawna, and her four grandchildren Cody, Layton, Tera and Jenna. Preceding her in death was her husband, Watson Perry, her parents, two infant children, and nephew Hal Amidan. Graveside services will be held at the Elko Cemetery on Friday at 2:00.

Nevada expects more interest LAS VEGAS (AP) Insur- ance officials say few Nevada residents and businesses have earthquake coverage but expecting inter- est to increase following the two California earthquakes that rattled the region. The Las Vegas Re- view-Journal reported Monday that the magni- tude 6.4 and magnitude 7.1 quakes in the Southern Cal- ifornia desert last week were felt in Las Vegas. Nevada Insurance Com- missioner Barbara Richard- son says more homeowners will likely consider buying the additional coverage.

She says insurance inter- est is piqued in homeown- ers anytime natural disasters occur. Virginia Chatwin, owner of Centurion Insurance Ser- vices in Henderson, says an earthquake insurance pol- icy can cost an extra $300 to $500 for homeowners who pay between $700 and $1,000 for annual home in- surance.

history to secure high-rise build- ings overseeing open-air crowds and train more officers with rifles to stop a shooter in an elevated position, Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo said Wednesday. Among 93 recommen- dations in a newly released department are requirements to plan ahead with neigh- boring police, fire, hospital and coroner officials; to let responding officers remove reflective vests so less of a target to a shooter; and to ensure more para- medics and trauma kits are available at large-scale events. hope we never have to use these proce- dures that we are putting in said Lombardo, who characterized the report as textbook on our to the October 2017 massacre that killed 58 people at an open-air music festival on the Las Vegas Strip. He said now required reading for every Las Vegas police officer above the rank of sergeant. Lombardo noted that report authors Capt.

Kelly McMahill and Detective Stephanie Ward studied other mass casualty inci- dents around the country, and said he hoped the Las Vegas report would help others prepare. The 158-page document acknowledged communi- cations snags similar to those described in a sep- arate August 2018 ter-action by the Federal Emergency Man- agement Agency, Clark County Fire Department and Las Vegas police. That 61-page document said communications were overwhelmed by 911 calls, the number of victims, and by false reports of ac- tive shooters at other Las Vegas Strip hotel-casinos and nearby McCarran In- ternational Airport. Lombardo, the elected head of some 5,000 offi- cers, said the new report focuses on internal de- partment response and It comes almost a year after Las Vegas police closed the criminal inves- tigation with a 187-page criminal investigation re- port and nearly six months after the FBI issued a three-page summary of its behavioral analysis of gunman Stephen Paddock. Paddock, 64, a former accountant and high- stakes video poker player with homes in Reno and the southern Nevada re- sort community of Mes- quite, killed himself before officers reached his hotel room.
