VINTAGE VEGAS: SILVER SLIPPER KNOCKED OFF ITS FEET The Silver Slipper, originally named the Golden Slipper Saloon and Gambling Hall, operated from September 1950 to Nov. 28, 1988.

Q&A with richard justiana
Private banker’s interests go beyond the wealthy As a child, Richard Justiana was in awe of the professional atmosphere in old-fashioned banks. As an adult, Justiana has spent nearly 30 years working in the banking industry and recently became vice president and senior private banking officer at the Private Bank by Nevada State Bank. Justiana works to establish private banking relationships with affluent members of the community but spends much of his personal time helping families in need through the Make-A-Wish Foundation. What is the best business advice you’ve received, and from whom did it come? When I first started my career in western New York with Marine Midland Bank, my branch manager told me, “Treat every customer as you would want your mother treated, with kindness and respect.” That applies whether you work in a retail branch or in private banking. Clients expect and appreciate that level of courtesy and service. It’s a step in building a longterm client relationship. If you could change one thing about Southern Nevada, what would it be? I would improve the quality of our educational system and the way our Richard Justiana recently started a new chapter in his long banking career, communities view their role in this joining the private banking team at Nevada State Bank.

work. The joy in the faces of the kids and their families is overwhelming. You can be having a tough day, but the moment you switch gears and focus on a Make-A-Wish task, it all goes away. There are so many kids in our community who are struggling with some sort of illness; giving them the chance to smile and maybe forget the bad things for a moment is priceless. What is your dream job, outside of your current field? I like to be around people, so I have always thought about owning a little supper club, where people could enjoy good food, great wine and listen to jazz music any night of the week. I also like to care for people, so a career in medicine has always been in the back of my mind. If you could live anywhere else in the world, where would it be? It would have to be near the ocean — a nice, quiet beach community. Or somewhere in wine country. Whom do you admire and why? There is no one person who comes to mind, but I admire anybody who is dealing with a life-altering, difficult circumstance but gets up every day and puts a smile on their face. Maybe they mask the pain, but they find a way to forge ahead and treat everyone they meet with kindness. If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? Gosh, where do I start? I would still want to have the head of hair I had when I was in my 20s. Also, maybe to be inspired to be more athletically driven, like one of those guys competing on “American Ninja Warrior.” What is something people might not know about you? I am a handyman around the house. Some of my projects have turned out quite well; others, maybe not so well. My father taught us to know how to do the simple things so we don’t have to pay someone else to do them.

Fresh & Easy closures are the latest change in Southern Nevada’s turbulent grocery industry By eli segall and julie ann formoso Staff Writers
Fresh & Easy employee Krystal Fox knew something was wrong at her store in Green Valley when she noticed the dwindling meat supply. Also, the place was usually empty. Having six shoppers was considered a “rush day,” Fox said. Now, her employer is shutting down and Fox is looking for a new job. Southern Nevada is getting hit by waves of grocery-store closures. In addition to Fresh & Easy reportedly planning to shutter all 14 locations in the area, Haggen is closing its seven outposts. That follows the closures of eight Food 4 Less locations less than a year ago and some Albertsons stores in 2014. Not everyone in Las Vegas is contracting — Trader Joe’s opened in Downtown Summerlin last year, its fifth location in the valley, and SaveA-Lot debuted a store in August on Charleston Boulevard at Maryland Parkway, with plans for two more in town by early next year. But the closures, which come amid heightened competition for shoppers, are putting grocery employees out of work and possibly causing painful ripple effects for others. A grocery store usually is the anchor tenant in a shopping center, and if it shuts down, foot traffic to the plaza drops off, potentially crimping sales for other retailers there. A vacant big-box scares off prospective new tenants, as well, keeping empty storefronts unoccupied and further hurting the plaza’s chances of a turnaround. Haggen, for instance, opened this year in Southern Nevada in the shells of former Vons and Albertsons locations it had acquired as part of a massive, Western U.S. expansion. Months later, Haggen filed for bankruptcy protection, and now it’s closing stores in Las Vegas and elsewhere. “It’s sad for the centers,” said real estate broker Liz Clare, a retail specialist with Avison Young. U.S. retailers have been ramping up competition in the grocery aisles for years, offering discounted food, pricey organic fare, grab-and-go meals and ethnic specialty items. Southern Nevada is no exception; options

include Smith’s, Vons, Albertsons, Whole Foods, Sprouts, Costco, WinCo, Glazier’s, Wal-Mart, Walgreens, Target, La Bonita, Cardenas, El Super and 99 Ranch Market. “It’s a very competitive business with very low (profit) margins, and that means people are going to fail,” said real estate broker Matt Bear, of CBRE Group. Fresh & Easy failed to attract big volumes of shoppers. It sold prepackaged food, including some fruits and vegetables, which meant shoppers couldn’t touch or customize what they were buying, Clare said. The grocer also entered Southern Nevada and “expanded way too fast,” perhaps without testing the market, she said. Moreover, the company didn’t establish a clear identity as, say, a discount or an upscale grocer, Bear said. “When you walked in, you were really disappointed because it wasn’t really either,” he said. British grocery powerhouse Tesco brought Fresh & Easy to Nevada, California and Arizona starting in 2007, and grew rapidly from the beginning. But the U.S. economy went into a tailspin the next year, and coupled with the chain’s limited popularity in the three states, the venture flopped, costing the company nearly $2 billion by 2013. Grocery mogul Ron Burkle’s Yu-
caipa Cos. acquired Fresh & Easy in 2013. The new owners closed stores and tried new formats, according to reports, but business still slumped. “It’s so hard to turn around consumer sentiment once they’ve made up their mind,” Bear said. Fresh & Easy had more than 20 locations in Southern Nevada at one point. It now has 14, according to its website, and reportedly plans to close all 97 of its remaining stores in California, Arizona and Nevada. Meanwhile, Haggen ran into problems after a massive expansion soured. The Bellingham, Wash.-based chain grew overnight from 18 locations and 2,000 employees to 164 stores and more than 10,000 workers. It did this by acquiring 146 stores from Albertsons and from Vons owner Safeway Inc. Albertsons had signed a deal to buy Safeway for about $9 billion, and to get the Federal Trade Commission’s approval, the companies agreed to sell 168 stores nationally. Haggen bought most of them, reportedly for $300 million, but business quickly went south. In July, Haggen said it was laying off employees locally and in California and Arizona; in August, news reports said the company planned to close or sell 27 stores, including
in Nevada; and in a 10-day span in September, Haggen sued Albertsons for more than $1 billion in damages, filed for bankruptcy protection and announced that, given its need to slim down and save money, its Pacific Southwest regional CEO had “left the company” amid a corporate consolidation. Haggen spokeswoman Deborah Pleva said all of its Las Vegas-area stores would close by the end of this month. An employee at Haggen’s Anthem location — who worked there since the store was an Albertsons — said the news was upsetting. “They didn’t even give us a chance,” said the employee, who asked to remain anonymous. “You’re just stuck in this nightmare.” He blamed the stores’ fate on a failure to offer competitive prices. “They don’t offer any specials,” he said. “You go to Vons and (others) and they always have deals.” Anthem resident Monique Moulton agreed. “The prices here are very high,” she said of Haggen. “I didn’t even really see a change in what they offered when it was an Albertsons to now.” Because of the price difference, Moulton says she only shops at Haggen when it is absolutely necessary and buys all of her meat and dairy products at the Vons down the road. Since the news came out, the Haggen employee has since found a job at Vons, but he said others on the 20-member staff had not been so lucky. “Staff morale is pretty low,” he said. “They already laid off about 20 employees over the summer.” Elton Ebarb, a loyal customer of Fresh & Easy, says he has shopped at just about all of the grocery chains in the valley, including Smith’s, Vons and Albertsons. All of them pale in comparison to Fresh & Easy for him. “It’s the cleanest. It’s the tastiest,” he said. “The employees are also remarkable.” Fox, who is leaving the grocery industry, is optimistic she’ll find a job eventually but sympathizes with her colleagues, a staff of about 18. “If I had one word to sum this all up, it would be unfortunate,” she said. “For a lot of us, this is our only job.”

Money could flow to education savings accounts in February By ian whitaker Staff Writer
State Treasurer Dan Schwartz recently announced proposed changes to Nevada’s education savings account program that would allow more parents to qualify for subsidies to send their children to private schools. Schwartz proposed exempting kindergartners and children of active-duty military personnel from the requirement of attending public school for 100 days before becoming eligible for the program. Schwartz and his staff also revealed that they expected the first payments to be disbursed to families as early as February. The original plan was to fund accounts in April. The announcements came at a public meeting to iron out regulations for the program. Patricia Showers, an active-duty Air Force member, said military life can be overwhelming, and the ESA “provides the opportunity for my children’s needs to be met.” Under the program, families can receive upward of $5,000 from the state for such uses as private school tuition and tutoring. Nevada’s program is similar to a voucher system, but the state puts money in a bank account and allows parents to spend it on approved educational services. The program’s proposed regulations have been the subject of scrutiny from parents, mostly due to questions about whether families with children already enrolled in private schools would qualify for the ESA. Parents packed previous hearings, demanding Schwartz find a workaround for a rule requiring families enroll their children in a public school for at least 100 days before qualifying for the program. The stipulation was included in original legislation governing the program because the state allocates education funds only for students counted on official school district count days, said Grant Hewitt, the treasurer’s chief of staff. That is pushing the political battle over the program into the next legislative session, as private school administrators like Catherine Thompson, superintendent of Catholic Schools for the Diocese of Las Vegas, seeks to broaden the program’s scope. “These were three wonderful gifts,” she said of the regulations announced by Schwartz. “But it’s still very difficult that not all of our kids can use the program.” Other questions remain, such as
whether families can use ESA money to pay for private schools outside Nevada. That was the concern of one parent from Incline Village, near the California state line at Lake Tahoe, who said there were no other viable private school options near her in Nevada. Hewitt said the Treasurer’s Office would address that and other concerns
in time for the next hearing. More than 3,000 families have applied for the ESA since open enrollment began. The program is set to go into effect next year, but all eyes are on an impending court battle involving the American Civil Liberties Union of Nevada and the Nevada Attorney Gener-
al’s Office over whether the program is legal. A second lawsuit challenging the law was filed by a group of parents. Nevada Attorney General Adam Laxalt says the lawsuit, which centers on the use of public money to fund education at private religious schools, does not violate the state Constitution as the ACLU claims.

Report: Las Vegas new-home sales, prices up By eli segall Staff Writer
Las Vegas homebuilders had another boost in business in September, as sales and prices continued outpacing last year’s totals, a report shows. Builders sold 686 new homes in Southern Nevada during the month, bringing the year’s total to 4,908. That’s up 13 percent from the same nine-month period in 2014, according to Las Vegas-based Home Builders Research. The median sales price of September’s closings was $320,184, up 7 percent from a year earlier. Builders also pulled 549 new-home permits in September, putting the year’s tally Las Vegas Strip casinos can be seen behind new home construction Wednesday, at 6,006, up 15 percent from the same July 30, 2014, in Summerlin.

Sandoval appoints retired judge to fill Mulroy’s seat on Gaming Commission By j.d. morris Staff Writer
Gov. Brian Sandoval has named a retired federal judge to fill a recently vacated seat on the Nevada Gaming Commission, his office announced. Sandoval’s office said he appointed Philip Pro, a former U.S. District Court judge, to the post that former Southern Nevada Water Authority chief Pat Mulroy left recently to join the board of a major casino company. Pro’s term on the five-member commission, which is the state’s top regulatory body for the casino industry, takes effect Dec. 1 and lasts until April 2019. In a statement, Sandoval described Pro as a “well-respected member of our community” with a lengthy legal career in Nevada. “His 35 years of experience on the bench demonstrates his ability to make well-reasoned and fair decisions,” Sandoval said. “I know he will serve with integrity, and we are fortunate that he has accepted this new position.” Pro joined the federal district court in Nevada in 1987 after he was nominated by then-President Ronald Reagan. Pro was chief judge for the district of Nevada from 2002 to 2007. Before becoming a district court judge, he served as U.S. magistrate judge from 1980 to 1987. Pro also was co-chairman of the advisory board that founded UNLV’s William S. Boyd School of Law. His Gaming Commission predecessor, Mul-
roy, gave up her spot on the commission Oct. 15 to join the board of Wynn Resorts Ltd. The move raised some eyebrows given that state law requires former gaming regulators to wait one pro year before going to work for a casino company. However, Mulroy wrote in a letter to the governor that she received guidance from the state Commission on Ethics “because preserving the high ethimulroy cal standard of the Gaming Commission was of utmost importance to me.” State Sen. Tick Segerblom, a Las Vegas Democrat, recently told KNPR that he thought Mulroy’s transition from gaming regulator to casino company board member was inappropriate and that the Ethics Commission did not fulfill its duty. Las Vegas attorney Peter Bernhard, though, told KNPR that the Ethics Commission acted properly in allowing Mulroy’s appointment to the Wynn board. Bernhard, who represented Mulroy before the Ethics Commission and is himself a former gaming regulator, also said Mulroy wouldn’t participate in any Nevada gaming issues for one year.
to 2002, before the bubble years, he said. Smith expects builders to pull at least 7,500 permits this year. In his report, Smith also said buyers cancelled 18 percent of gross purchases last month, down from 21 percent in September 2014, and that certain areas of the valley had faster year-over-year sales growth than others. Excluding cancellations, buyers picked up 212 new homes in the southwest valley in September, up 16 percent from September 2014; 163 homes in the northwest, up 44 percent; 124 homes in Henderson, up 65 percent; and 76 homes in North Las Vegas, up 90 percent. According to Smith’s data, the only area with a drop in sales was the east side. Builders sold 18 homes there last month, down 22 percent from September 2014.
Henderson Hospital, set to open next year, names CEO By jackie valley Staff Writer
Sam Kaufman, the CEO of Desert Springs Hospital, will lead Henderson Hospital when it opens next year, officials announced. Kaufman, who has worked for the Valley Health System since 1992, will serve as CEO for both hospitals. He hopes the 142-bed, $168 million facility under construction on the corner of Gibson Road and Galleria Drive will open by the end of next October. Valley Health System also announced construction of an 80,000-square-foot medical office building, which will be called Henderson Medical Plaza, adjacent to Henderson Hospital. The office building is projected to open toward the end of 2016. Kaufman has been meeting over the past year with physicians interested in occupying the office space, officials said. Jacobs Medical Associates, an internal medicine group with doctors Leslie Jacobs, Loring Jacobs, William Shoemaker, Jeffrey Ng and Laura Addis, will house its practice there. “We invite other primary care physicians and specialists to consider the benefits of having an office with nearby access to our hospital,” Kaufman said in a statement. Interviews and hiring for health care providers and administrative personnel at Henderson Hospital will begin early next year.

pahrump, from page 1
City is focusing on family-oriented tourism that went to the Pahrump Chamber of Commerce. Officials never tracked how many tourists came to town or what they did when they arrived. Ledbetter’s marketing push, launched during the depths of the recession, was designed to boost tourism dollars and energize Pahrump’s economy. A year ago, the outreach efforts intensified when town officials hired a Las Vegas marketing firm to get the word out about Pahrump. Billboards promoting the town went up in the Las Vegas Valley. “That really got things heading in the right direction,” Ledbetter said. Today, clicks on the town’s website, visitpahrump.com, have skyrocketed, from 5,000 to 15,000 a month, and a social media campaign is in full swing. Ledbetter said Facebook has been an important tool in reaching tourists, as well. “Likes” on Pahrump’s Facebook tourism page have increased from about 400 to more than 9,000. “For the 10,000th ‘like,’ the person will win a package to Pahrump,” Ledbetter said. On target Tourism and marketing officials are gearing their message to reach Pahrump’s target market. “We are family-oriented tourism,” Ledbetter said. An outing to Pahrump can be a lot more affordable for a family than a weekend in Las Vegas, said Michael Coldwell of Braintrust, the company marketing Pahrump. “For example, the hot-air balloon festival in Pahrump offers a great day of entertainment at a reasonable cost. A fam-
ily from Las Vegas can go for a day of entertainment for a fraction of the cost.” Las Vegas locals are a huge portion of Pahrump’s visitors, along with tourists going to or coming from Death Valley, Coldwell said. “The overall strategy was to reintroduce all the things that Pahrump has to offer,” Coldwell said. Another demographic the marketers have zeroed in on: snowbirds, retirees from Canada and northern states who come to the Southwest to escape harsh winters. Pahrump is well suited for them because its RV parks are among the highest-rated in the nation, Coldwell said. Pahrump has about 1,300 RV spaces and 459 hotel rooms. A new Holiday Inn Express recently added 104 rooms. Other local hotels include the Saddle West, Pahrump Nugget and a Best Western. Tourism officials only recently began tracking room occupancy. Figures are expected to be available early next year, Ledbetter said. Efforts also are being made to start recording visitor trends, and Ledbetter expects the town’s tourism website to have hotel room-booking capabilities by the end of the year. “We are in the process of creating visitor statistics and citywide occupancy,” she said. “We are in our infancy.” Pahrump’s tourism budget for fiscal year 2015 is about $220,000, generated through room tax. Pahrump growth Pahrump, in Nye County, was home to more than 36,000 residents in 2010, according to Census data. Community leaders believe that
number is closer to 40,000 today. In fact, Pahrump was named a “city on the rise” in 2014 by information service NerdWallet. The town’s charms are starting to be noticed by tourists and would-be residents. Chris Wilson, manager of Jetpack America Sales and Flight Center, started working in Pahrump a year ago before being transferred to California this past summer. He said he missed the town when he left. “Pahrump is a small town, in a good way,” he said. “It’s not a small town that is suspicious of newcomers. It is welcoming, When I came back, the man I always get my coffee from said, ‘Where have you been?’ ” Desert getaway JetPack America, a watersport park that opened in late 2014, has been one of the biggest potential draws to land in Pahrump. Wilson estimated about 1,000 visitors as of late October but expected that number to increase once warm weather returns in the spring. “The demand is growing,” Wilson said. “It is just slow for the word to get out.” Jetpack America operates on a 5-acre man-made lake created by John Morris, the original owner of Jetpack America and current owner of the adjacent Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch racetrack. Customers have to be at least 14 to operate a watercraft on their own; younger children can fly in tandem with an adult . “We flew a man who was 85 years old, and we flew a quadriplegic,” Wilson said. Jetpack America plans to add beach volleyball this month. Custom-
ers also can peddle paddleboats and do stand-up paddleboarding. Wilson says he believes Pahrump’s tourism campaign has helped the company, which was featured on a billboard. Visitors are split 50-50 between Southern Nevada residents and other tourists, he said. “People come from all over,” he said. “We get Europeans and Japanese and Brazilians and Argentinians.” Another draw for the town is the Front Sight gun range and training facility. “We have ... members from all 50 states and a dozen foreign countries,” said Mike Meacher, vice president of the range. “They train on our 550acre facility just 40 minutes from McCarran International Airport. We are building a complete resort at Front Sight, where students will be able to stay on the property in a hotel, condos or RV facilities.” Front Sight also has classrooms, retail facilities and 50 shooting ranges, from 30-yard handgun ranges to 1,000-yard rifle ranges. “About 90 percent of our students are from outside Nevada,” Meacher said. “Approximately 5 to 7 percent of our students are from outside the United States” Pahrump also is home to two of Nevada’s four wineries: the Sanders Family Winery, owned by Jack Sanders; and the Pahrump Valley Winery, founded by Sanders and owned by Bill Luken. “Our visitors are now becoming younger, and they are millennials and they are Generation Xers,” Sanders said. “And we also get visitors from all over the world. Just coming from all over.”
lamar odom’s brothel romp puts spotlight on pahrump, though prostitution is illegal in town Pahrump has been in the news a lot recently, in connection with an event town officials likely didn’t want publicity for: ex-NBA star Lamar Odom’s apparent drug overdose at a brothel in Crystal, about a half-hour drive from Pahrump. Odom, 35, was found nonresponsive Oct. 13 at the Love Ranch brothel after spending four days and about $74,000 there. He was taken to a Pahrump hospi-
tal for treatment, then moved to Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center, and eventually Los Angeles. The town of Pahrump has no legal brothels, but two brothels sit in the outskirts. Prostitution is legal in parts of Nye County. As much of America focused on the tiny town, the question arose: Is Pahrump starting to go through the same growing pains Las Vegas did in trying to brand itself a family friendly destination?
Pahrump, which still has a bit of a Wild West feel to it, is getting a taste of the sensational headlines Las Vegas long has been accustomed to, Nevada historian Michael Green said. “This will probably be good for the brothel industry, in that there will be people who will want to go to that brothel to see where Lamar Odom had such problems,” Green said. It could be good for Pahrump
tourism in general, too. “Any celebrity who gets into the news out here tends to inspire some people to be more curious ... whether it is Britney Spears’ 55-hour marriage or Prince Harry having some fun in a suite,” Green said. “So first, it is good that Lamar Odom lived and is getting well. But it could also be a conversation piece, if you will, to inspire some tourism.” — Valerie Miller
