OUR TAKE: THE PROMISE TO COME BACK Last Sunday’s atrocity on the Strip is the latest test of a resiliency that has been Las Vegas’ hallmark through the decades. While the horrific sights and sounds of the mass shooting are so fresh, it seems no appropriate amount of time will have passed before the term “business as usual” is operative. Metro Police praised the quick actions of the Mandalay Bay security team to stem one man’s rampage that night, but hotel security will be a focal point in the months and years to come. In addition to 9/11 and the Great Recession, which affected the entire nation, Southern Nevada has survived other events which some observers thought would impede the area’s economy. The MGM Grand fire on Nov. 21, 1980, which killed 85 people, most through smoke inhalation, and the Las Vegas Hilton fire on Feb. 10, 1981, which killed five, brought about major fire safety code changes in hotels not only here but throughout the country. Las Vegas healed and became better. Explosions at the solid-rocket fuel component manufacturer Pacific Engineering & Production Co. (PEPCON) on May 4, 1988, in the southeast part of the valley shattered an adjacent marshmallow facility, killed two workers, injured more than 300 people and inflicted losses of more than $80 million. The disaster impelled changes to regulations concerning storage and transportation of chemicals and products; emergency communications; and zoning

and insurance requirements. That area of the valley healed and became better, with Henderson remaining the fastest-growing city in the country from 1990 to 1996. The show undoubtedly will go on for the 43 million visitors who seek Las Vegas’ many amenities each year. Stories of the local business community’s generosity in the wake of the shooting continue to pour in. Changes will be debated, and new publicsafety procedures will be implemented. A heinous event opened this chapter of Las Vegas history, but the creativity, diligence and buoyancy we’ve exhibited in the past will ensure the story of Las Vegas as a global tourist destination continues. — PAUL SZYDELKO

Q&A with garrett Leaf

Local passion backed by national expertise By Rebecca clifford Cruz | STAFF WRITER

Garrett Leaf is CEO of SilverSummit Healthplan, a Medicaid provider that launched in Nevada this year. It is part of Centene Corp., the nation’s largest provider on the Health Insurance Marketplace. Leaf joined Centene in 2014 as senior vice president of finance for the company’s California health plan, and brings that experience here with the aim of providing every Nevadan access to health care insurance, including those in “bare” counties who were otherwise not expected to have any options for coverage next year. Do you have any recent news you’d like to share? SilverSummit Healthplan is proud to offer our Ambetter product on the Health Insurance Marketplace to all counties in Nevada, effective Jan. 1. This ensures that all residents have at least one health care option. What sets you apart from other insurers in the market? SilverSummit is backed by Centene’s expertise and technological solutions, but we are a locally based, staffed, managed and run company. Many of our employees and management team are from the local communities we serve, and our decisionmaking is proudly rooted here. What are some of your programs that help children? Among the programs SilverSummit offers are Vision Benefits, our Start Smart for Your Baby program, Boys and Girls Club memberships and a second nebulizer (a drug-delivery device used to administer medication in the form of a mist). With our Vision Benefits, we offer repair or replacement of glasses once per 12 months. Our Start Smart for Your Baby program is designed for expecting or recent mothers to take care of themselves and their babies through the exchange of information via mail, telephone and the internet. We offer Boys and Girls Club memberships to eligible youths to encourage social interaction and the development of leadership skills. Finally, we offer a second nebulizer for children to take to school to avoid them having to bring one back and forth from home. What drew you to the health insurance industry? I wish I could say it was well planned and executed. I was working in the property and casualty insurance field in a finance capacity, and received a cold call from a recruiter regarding an opportunity with a large health insurance carrier. That was

Garrett Leaf is CEO of SilverSummit Healthplan, which was established this year. (STEVE MARCUS/staff)

1987, and I have been in the health insurance field ever since. I spent much of my early health insurance career in the finance area but have had the opportunity to branch out into many operational areas. What is the best business advice you’ve received? My father always told us growing up that if something was worth doing, it was worth doing well. This advice has been equally relevant and appropriate in both my personal and business lives. What’s the biggest issue facing Southern Nevada? There are a number of health carerelated issues we face, from the need for additional access to primary care and specialty providers, skilled nursing and long-term beds, and services for the homeless. Opioid use and abuse is another issue that affects many aspects of health care delivery and cost.

What has been your most exciting professional project? Working with the governor’s office to formulate and deliver a solution to cover the “bare” counties on the Health Insurance Marketplace was exhilarating and rewarding. It’s a tremendous feeling to know we can positively affect the lives of people who need us the most. What’s your favorite place to have fun in Las Vegas? You will probably be able to find me at many Vegas Golden Knights games this year. Describe your management style. I believe in the implementation of process and discipline in everything we do. I am a firm but fair leader who takes an active role in coaching and developing our team members to excel. Where do you see your company in 10 years? I would like to be able to say that SilverSummit positively changed the

delivery of health care and the member engagement and awareness of healthy lifestyles, thereby transforming the overall health of the communities we serve. If you could live anywhere else in the world, where would it be? Zermatt, Switzerland, is one of my favorite destinations and is truly spectacular. With the Matterhorn and the rest of the Swiss Alps looming over the town, and the absence of cars, it is this self-contained beautiful village. The Swiss people are welcoming and gracious and make you feel at home in their little hamlet in the mountains. What is your biggest pet peeve? Tardiness. If you’re not 5 minutes early, you’re late. What is something that people might not know about you? Although I still cannot play all that well, I used to build custom guitars and basses out of my garage.

Suburban dinner spot inspired by the Strip By Rebecca Clifford-Cruz Staff Writer

For the Black Sheep, an American-Vietnamese restaurant that opened in May, chef Jamie Tran crafted a menu inspired by her childhood, beyond such staples as pho and banh mi. Tran, who formerly worked at Aureole and DB Brasserie, says she was called the black sheep of her family for being the only sibling to follow her father’s footsteps into the culinary world. But the restaurant’s name goes beyond her nickname. What’s the story behind your business’s name?

Jon Schwalb: We believe in rule-breaking. We are bringing a playfully rebellious spirit to the southwest side of the valley through our food, drinks and music. Bringing a Strip-inspired atmosphere and menu to the suburbs at an approachable value is the best sense of being a “black sheep.” Who are your customers?

Andy Hooper: Our customers are a really nice mix of people of all ages. Early evenings are a mix of happy-hour professionals, families and Rhodes Ranch residents. As the night goes on, professionals in their 20s and 30s are looking for quality food and cocktails in a fun atmosphere. What makes your restaurant unique?

AH: Our design is reflective of something you would find in a bigger city. We’ve created an intimate setting that features warm lighting, modern rustic decor and an up-tempo soundtrack highlighting our favorite music.

Why are you open only at night?

What is your most popular dish?

JS: We wanted to be a destination for the evening. Rather than competing with our neighbors, we decided to complement them and specialize in a focused dinner experience. Lunch revolves around getting in somewhere, ordering quickly and getting back to work. By only doing dinner in a small physical footprint, we can be a special occasion venue without the special occasion prices.

AH: Chef Jamie Tran has created a menu based on seasonal availability of ingredients. One of our most popular entrees is our braised Duroc pork belly with seasonal mushrooms, sticky rice, mustard greens, crunchy chicarone and cherry sauce. What’s the best business advice you’ve received?

JS: Filter decision making through a five-year lens.

Focus the majority of our energy on what will matter years from now and try to eliminate the distraction of unimportant short-term noise. What obstacles has your business overcome?

AH: Our obstacle is similar to any new business opening: “Will anyone show up?” We have been fortunate to have not only opened our doors on schedule but received great support from our neighbors and the community right from the start. Where do you the company five years from now?

JS: We hope to continue to grow our reach and establish the Black Sheep as a neighborhood staple in the southwest. These are still early days for us, and it is exciting to think about our guests growing with us from the current early days to anniversaries, birthdays and other celebrations for years to come.

School board holds off on some cuts, will pursue furloughs for administrators By yvonne gonzalez Staff Writer

A meeting punctuated by emotional speakers and pleading students from a closing school led the Clark County School Board to postpone making some cuts proposed to bridge a multimillion-dollar budget shortfall. Board members voted unanimously Sept. 29 to cut three administrative positions and 27 other unfilled positions. They accepted most of the proposed cuts and held off on a handful of other options, including a reduction in support staff positions. Superintendent Pat Skorkowsky reminded board members that postponing cuts now would mean more later, as the School District continues to incur costs. He said he would be willing to take furlough days and that he would ask his staff to do the same. The district needs to cut up to $80 million for the year to realize $50 million to $60 million in savings, because the deficit grows each day the full cut isn’t made as spending continues. Arbitration losses for the district are among factors that led to the shortfall. Board members approved more than $43 million in cuts on Aug. 24, and less than $14 million on Sept. 14. Board members set aside some of up to $4.1 million in cuts at the September meeting. A few speakers that night were frustrated that most of the cuts were hitting support staff and special education. One student, who said he has autism, asked board members to keep special education services intact, and others noted that top administrators were making six figures while support staff were hit hard with cuts. Some board members questioned whether the district was in compliance with federal requirements for disability services, and Skorkowsky said it was. The board’s vote also directed staff members to pursue up to two furlough days with unions but specified that the focus should be top-down, starting with administrators. Board members had previously agreed to cut the $2.5 million Burk Day Program, which serves 89 full-time nontraditional students (such as those who dropped out of school and are still under age 21). District spokeswoman Melinda Malone said the district would work on individual transition plans with each student in the program, which ends this month. Students were in the audience at the meeting, and some

who spoke asked board members to keep Burk open until at least the end of the school year. One high school senior said the damage was done and that the district should consider cutting salaries of higher-ups. Board member Linda Young said that while she initially agreed to the cuts, she now wants to revisit the issue. To reconsider a vote, a member on the prevailing side would need to make a motion on a future agenda. Young also mentioned the possibility of asking the Legislature for a special session. One speaker said the Washoe County School District, which also faces a multimilliondollar shortfall, should join Clark County and ask Gov. Brian Sandoval for the state’s help. Board members also discussed the possibility of further auditing the district. Many speakers said an audit and more transparency were needed, citing a lack of trust. Chief Financial Officer Jason Goudie said that depending on the scope, an outside audit in addition to the annual analysis already being done could cost millions of dollars. Glenn Christenson, Community Implementation Council chair and member of a recently created district budget task force, said in a written statement that he recommended a comprehensive financial evaluation. The review would look at categories such as internal controls, which include who can authorize certain payments. Eide Bailly is the firm that conducts the annual audit at a cost of $155,800 for the district. The district also pays the firm $26,400 for an annual Nevada PBS audit. Most agreed that a forensic audit was not necessary, as it usually deals with criminal behavior and would be more expensive than looking at, for example, internal controls. Board member Lola Brooks said she spoke with forensic auditors and learned that these types of analyses can cost between $3 million and $5 million. She said that, after coding the Facebook and Twitter comments from the public and analyzing the data, most of what people want to know won’t be found in a forensic audit, such as improving future budget projections. One major complaint is that the district is top heavy, Brooks said, and that administrative cuts would save money. She said officials should look at how many administrators there are and what they do. She also pointed to a common recommendation in forensic audits: a whistleblower hotline and system for processing tips.

Gaming revenue in Nevada jumped 14.91 percent in August — from $861,137,241 to $989,510,649 — compared with the same month last year, according to the Nevada Gaming Control Board. Each month, the board collects and releases revenue numbers for casinos with 15 or more slot and video poker machines. The board also breaks out the numbers by location. In Clark County, revenue for August also fared well. The Strip saw an increase of 21.35 percent, downtown Las Vegas was up 13.4 percent, North Las Vegas grew by 1.74 per-

cent and Laughlin was up 6.94 percent. The Boulder Strip and Mesquite were up 0.83 percent and 10.57 percent, respectively. Michael Lawton, senior research analyst with the Tax and License Division of the Gaming Control Board, said the Floyd Mayweather Jr.-Conor McGregor fight helped push the numbers. Most of the rest of Nevada also did well compared with August 2016. In Reno, for instance, revenue grew 11.92 percent. August gaming revenue generated gaming taxes and fees of $50,426,329, compared with $47,530,853 in 2016. That’s an increase of 6.09 percent, or $2,895,476.

Lawmakers push competing protections for Dreamers By yvonne gonzalez Staff Writer

Young immigrants at risk of deportation are looking for a solution from Congress, where a bipartisan bill is pitted against a new, more conservative proposal from Republicans. As the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program phases out, Democrats are pushing for action on the Dream Act. The legislation has been proposed repeatedly over the years and originally stems from a bill introduced in part by Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, one of the lawmakers behind a new conservative proposal to protect these immigrants. Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto, DNev., joined Sen.

the bill. Sen. Dean Heller, R-Nev., did not say whether he supports the Dream Act, but did point to his co-sponsorship of the Bridge Act, another piece of legislation seeking to provide Dreamers with relief. “I have had conversations in the past with Sen. Heller, and as you know, he signed onto the Bridge Act,” Cortez Masto said. “We’ll continue to have conversations with him about his support of the Dream Act, and particularly coming from Nevada, why it’s so important to support our families and the Dreamers.” While GOP leaders in Congress appear to be focused on tax reform, it’s unclear when or if any immigration legislation will land on an agenda. Renewal applications are due Oct. 5 for DACA participants whose benefits expire between Sept. 5 and March 5, a deadline that Durbin said is motivating supporters to act quickly. Durbin said Dream Act supporters are working toward movement on the bill before Dec. 8, when lawmakers have to move spending bills and a number of other issues. He said the hope is to beat that deadline, which is essentially the last date lawmakers might consider the bill this year. “We’re looking for the right bill that must pass … that we would send over to the House,” Durbin said. With at least three proposals to replace DACA, Contreras said he, as a young immigrant, appreciates the bipartisan efforts in Congress. “I really, really do appreciate that people from both sides of the government are coming together,” he said. “Democrats and Republicans alike are setting aside a lot of differences to help us out and are setting aside their differences to do what’s right by us.”

Geophysicist receives Nevada’s most prestigious science honor By mick akers Staff Writer

Geophysicist Marcia McNutt, president of the National Academy of Sciences, was bestowed the Nevada Medal, the state’s highest recognition for science, by the Desert Research Institute. The Nevada Medal was established in 1988 to acknowledge outstanding achievement in the fields of science and engineering. Desert Research Institute President Kristen Averyt said the choice was clear.

“It’s a tremendous honor to have Dr. McNutt here,” Averyt said. “We haven’t had anybody with her level of accomplishments in science (honored).” McNutt, who served as director of the U.S. Geological Survey from 2009 to 2013, has responded to several major disasters, including the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010. She also took part in 15 major oceanographic expeditions, serving as chief scientist on more than half of them. McNutt’s research includes studies

of ocean island volcanism in French Polynesia, continental breakup in the Western United States and uplift of the Tibet plateau. McNutt spent a few days with the Desert Research Institute team in Las Vegas and Reno. She said the state’s work is on par with any in the world. “The Desert Research Institute is truly a world-class place, and Nevada is lucky to have this caliber of research going on here,” she said. Averty and McNutt are the first

women presidents of their respective organizations, which Gov. Brian Sandoval said he hoped would give the next generation of female scientists confidence they too can break through in the industry. “Both of them are incredible people, the right leaders at the right time,” Sandoval said. “To be able to feature them is very exciting. It will be something that is very inspiring to young women to go into science and feel that they can be very accomplished.”

Poker legend says game due for ‘sonic boom’ By chris kudialis Staff Writer

When Phil Hellmuth speaks, those in the poker industry tend to listen, given they’re not a target of his infamous tirades. In Las Vegas recently for the Poker Masters tournament at the Aria, the “Poker Brat,” whose 14 World Series of Poker tournament wins and 126 in-the-money finishes rank first all-time, said that while Las Vegas poker tables are slowly giving way to more profitable slot machines, such a trend is a result of “overgrowth” during the poker boom of the early 2000s. “There were probably too many poker tables for a while,” Hellmuth said. But poker’s not done, as far as Hellmuth is concerned. Participation in this summer’s World Series of Poker at the Rio was the third-highest turnout in the annual tournament’s history, and the 53-yearold said the game’s eventual legalization on the federal level would bring it back stronger than ever. The world’s most successful Texas Hold ’em poker player talked about the state of poker in Las Vegas, his role in growing the game and his new book, “Poker Brat,” which hit stores this summer: Professional poker player Phil Hellmuth says that in his daily life, he’s not the villain he seems to be in

In Las Vegas, poker rooms are getting televised poker tournaments. (l.e. baskow/staff) smaller while the World Series of Poker remains just about as big as it has ever been. “When poker was legalized in Italy, Why do you think that is? 10 times more people started Poker was super small and looked like it was almost dying in 2001. There were only a few casinos playing than we thought. Same for with a poker room back then. It got bigger and bigger France. It brought millions of new for seven years during the online boom. Then it kind of leveled off and it started falling a little bit. players in each country.” One reason for getting rid of the tables is that slot — Phil Hellmuth machines make more money than poker. So they can put in a bank of slots in their place and have a guaranteed income. Now it kind of feels like a huge resurgence — 11 ’04 and ’05, I assumed the world would know I was days of live poker on ESPN, getting big ratings, a the good guy by 2007 or 2008.

But they So the poker boom just wasn’t sustainable? never figured it out. And that hurts. It hurts because Online poker left; that really affected the industry. I don’t want to be viewed that way.

You hit the final table, so now you’re like almost 40 hours into a tournament and some idiot calls a raise with 10-4 or puts in a quarter million dollars with some hand he’s never supposed to play. And then it costs me the pot and costs me the title when he gets what he’s looking for. So yeah, I lose it then, but people think I just lose it every day. Well, probably in this day of YouTube and highlights ... My YouTube highlights have probably had 100 million people watch them, and each one gets tens of millions of views. Do you watch them? Not really. I start watching one and then I’m like, “Do I really want to see myself lose it?” So I don’t watch those clips too much. I’ve probably seen 75 percent of the ESPN television I’ve been on, 40 percent of the other stuff. If you’re trying to ditch the image, why is your book called “Poker Brat”? Doesn’t that perpetuate it? Well, if you’re known for something ... I’m not going to change my name for that. What’s left for you to achieve in poker? I’m trying to make history. I’ve always put history above money. What history? You just want to keep winning as many bracelets, as many titles as you can?
