which is now free of liens, inasmuch as they just recently paid off the loan on the project. They are now in the process of building another project.

John Newcome and his wife, Jane, are in town visiting from Marco Island,

Florida. John is in the Rotary Club of Marco Island. Before joining Marco

Island Rotary, he was a charter member of the Rotary Club of Wilmington

Delaware which started in 1969. Between the two clubs, he has 48 years of

perfect attendance. Thanks so much for “making up” with us today and

also exchanging a banner from the Marcos Island club. It is an honor to

host such a dedicated Rotarian.

Debbie Mitsch is visiting from the Rotary Club of Green Valley and is

promoting their “Field of Honor” project. She has been a member of GV

Rotary since 2014 and previously was a member of the Rotary Club of

China, CA.

GUESTS

Cliff Silverstein’s guest today was Sebastian Swanson who is a UNLV

“entrepreneurship”.

Pres. Ron’s guest today was Matthew McLain Reynolds, manager of the

rock group “Imagine Dragons”. Better known as “Mac”, he was one of our

gold coin winners at the Gold Raffle last week. Mac is also one of the

“plethora” of Pres. Ron’s progeny.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

1. Pres. Ron should have (but didn’t, hence the belated announcement

here) reminded everyone that District Conference for our District 5300 will

ROTARY REGALIA

Not even mentioned (and Keith Thomas was seen wearing an authentic vintage Rotary Hawaiian

shirt - but then, aren’t all of his clothes “vintage”?)

RECOGNITIONS

Scott Baranoff was recognized $50 for his recent birthday and, in what must be a rare

occurrence for him, has not been anywhere exotic for a least two weeks!. Apparently his

birthday celebration was a leisure cruise on Lake Mead. He did have a joke (see below).

Karen Strawn was recognized for her efforts in providing another beautiful quilt for the Gold

Raffle. As always, it raised a ton of money. No fine today, but Karen did provide a fine joke

(see below).

Doug Malan was recognized $100 for his recent birthday which turned out to be on the same

day as the aforementioned Dr. Scott.

_____________________________________________________________________________

GIFTS FOR THE PRESIDENT

None again. In fact, not even mentioned. I think our Pres. has given up on the whistles.

JOKE OF THE DAY

Scott Baranoff (in what is a rare occurrence for him) recounted a completely “on-color” joke

about a farmer boy, an overturned wagon, an invitation by a neighbor to go to supper before

righting the wagon, a concern from the farmer boy that his father will be upset if he goes to

dinner before fixing the wagon, ice cold lemonade, dessert, and then a confession by the farmer

boy that his father is upset because he is “under the wagon”.

Karen Strawn, not to be outdone in the “clean joke” category, recounted a story about a round

of golf featuring various religious figures, golf shots into the water and the miraculous events

that followed. The first golfer parted the water and hit his ball out. The second golfer walked on the water and hit his ball out. The third golfer’s ball was snatched by an eagle just as it skipped

across the water. The eagle took off but dropped the ball on the green where it rolled into the cup

for a hole-in-one. The first golfer thereupon admonished the second golfer to stop bringing his

“dad”, the third golfer. All you religious folks out there should be able to figure this one out!

DRAWING

Chris Publow was the big winner today.

TODAY’S PROGRAM – Devlin Daneshforouz and Tracy Skenandore were our speakers today

about an upcoming ballot “question”. (see attached “PDF”).

Question 3 is a ballot measure often referred to as the Energy Choice Initiative which would

amend the Nevada Constitution to require the Legislature to provide by law for the establishment

of an open, competitive retail electric energy market that prohibits the granting of monopolies

and exclusive franchises for the generation of electricity. As many of you may remember, just

after the last election, we had a proponent for the measure come present to the Club. Today we

have invited representatives from the Coalition to Defeat Question 3.

Devlin is the Outreach Director at the Coalition to Defeat Question 3, a bipartisan coalition of

leaders coming together from across Nevada to make sure voters get the facts about how

Question 3 affects Nevadans.

Devlin is a graduate of The University of Pennsylvania, where he received a BA in Political

Science, specializing in International Affairs and was an active member of the Penn Boxing Club

and Penn Persian Society. As a first generation Nevadan, Devlin began his professional career

working at his family’s businesses, helping with accounting and business development. In 2009

he began a career in Democratic politics that took him to Washington, D.C., where he worked as

an aide to then Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, managing his constituent services. In this

role Devlin implemented technological improvements and processes to increase the department’s

ability to effectively engage Nevadans. Prior to returning to Nevada, Devlin most recently served

as Deputy Mid-Atlantic and PAC Finance Director at the Democratic National Committee, where

he helped launch the DNC’s first PAC program in over eight years.

Tracy is a skilled marketing, public relations and corporate communications executive with more

than 20 years of experience driving brand and marketing strategy, media relations, crisis

communications, and public relations efforts for fortune 500 corporations, small businesses, and

community organizations across multiple industries.

Skenandore previously served as the Senior Manager of Communications for Republic Services

for more than eight years overseeing corporate communications, public relations, and media

relations where she also served as a national spokesperson. Earlier this year, she joined the

Coalition to Defeat Question 3 as the campaign Communications Director.

As an active member in the Southern Nevada community, Skenandore has a strong network of

connections across a range of disciplines.

In 2000 she received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Corporate Communications from the University of Nevada Las Vegas.

In 2010, she was awarded the Las Vegas Business Press Rising Stars of Business Award.

In 2011 named by In Business Las Vegas as one of the Top Forty Under Forty Young Professional Leaders.

2013 received the ATHENA Young Professional Leadership Award by the Women’s Chamber of Commerce and was inducted into the Women’s Hall of Fame in 2014.

She has served on the American Marketing Association board as Vice President of

Administration, the Candlelighters Childhood Cancer Foundation board, the Las Vegas Chamber

of Commerce Green Initiative Committee, the NAIOP Sustainable Development Committee, and

is a founding members of the Clark County School District Green Ambassador Program board.

Skenandore also co-founded the GreenFest Earth Day Festival, recognized as one of Southern

Nevada’s largest Earth Day celebration to-date.

Water Filters For Families Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

Hi All,

We are finishing up a very successful first season for our current PV Water Filters For Families

Global Grant (GG). By the end of May we will have distributed over 1000 water filters and next

season (November, 2018 to May, 2019) we will distribute 1000+ additional filters to complete

that GG.

The PV Sur Club is putting together a video presentation of this season’s distributions which I

will provide to each of you as soon as it is finished. It will be great to use as a presentation to

your Clubs and as a tool to promote our project to other Clubs.

You will notice that I have copied several people representing Rotary Clubs who have indicated

an interest in joining our Partnership. We hope they will all join us in this incredible Project. We

have also added two new Partners who have committed to joining our Project. They are the

Rotary Club of Dunedin, FL and the Northeast Cincinnati Rotary Club. If any of you know of

Clubs interested in joining our Partnership please let me know so they can be included in our

communications.

One of the things that we have started to do this year is to put more emphases on personal

hygiene. We are going into the class rooms and talking to the children about the importance of

hand washing and we are providing each school a starter supply of soap. Each school also gets a

water filter system. We have also noticed that older adults in the villages we are providing water

filters seem to generally have bad teeth. So, we have started providing each family receiving a

water filter some soap, toothpaste and toothbrushes to encourage good health practices. We did

not have funds in our GG for these personal hygiene items but received $2500 donation from the

Southwest Las Vegas Rotary Club and several smaller donations totaling about $3500. That

should be enough to see us through most of our GG.

We have also made a couple of improvements in how we conduct our distributions. One thing

that has really helped is that we now have 7 light plastic tables that are easy to put up and take

down. Our friend and Rotarian Jorge Zambrano, owner of Andale’s Restaurant and Bar, was able

to get one of his suppliers to donate the tables. Before we were always having to run around

trying to find something to use to register the families receiving filters and a place to demonstrate

how the filter system operates. Now we just set up the tables and we are ready to go. A big

improvement and time saver. Another improvement is we had a volunteer develop a data base in

Microsoft Access for us. It is ready for data input. Now I just need to find someone to do the data

input for us. It will be a big job but it will make reporting much easier.

Participating in our water filter distributions is easy and rewarding. By the time we finish this

season we will have had about 100 Rotarians participate in our project. From November through

May each year we are generally doing a distribution every other week on Wednesday’s. I will

send out a schedule for next year very soon. If you are planning a short trip (less than 2 weeks)

be sure to check with me as we may need to adjust the schedule occasionally. That is especially

true around the Christmas and Easter holidays.

As I mentioned we will be completing our GG in May 2019; but we do not want our project to end as there will still be many thousands of people in the area surrounding PV who do not have

clean drinking water. I have been working with Robin O‘Brien and our other partners identifying

needs. Our plan is to apply for a new GG as soon as we complete our current GG. That would be

in the summer of 2019. It is our hope that you will all see fit to help fund this new GG and

because we have two Rotary years to accumulate funds that you will dedicate funds from both

years to that end. Wouldn’t it be great if we could come up with a larger GG then our current

GG? We also plan to fund the personal hygiene items in this new GG. Let me know if you think

that your Club will want to continue funding our Water Filters for Families Project by joining

our new GG.

I think that I have mentioned this before but as a reminder here it is again. My West Chester,

Ohio Rotary Club has set up Fund at our local Community Foundation dedicated to our PV

Water Filters For Families Project. Any Club or person, for that matter, can contribute to that

Fund whenever they choose and know the funds can only be used for our Project. Of course, the

Community Foundation is a 501c3, so all contributions are tax deductible. I know some Club’s

like to make their contributions annually instead of saving funds from year to year and making

one big contribution when the GG is approved. If anyone wants to make annual payments let me

know and I will provide payment instructions.

Thanks for your continued support and be sure to distribute this email to anyone in your Club

interested in what we are doing. Encourage your Club members to come to PV and get involved.

It is just a great experience.

Question 3 is a Constitutional Amendment on Nevada’s statewide ballot this November. If passed, this

deeply flawed measure would dismantle Nevada’s existing electricity system – one of the most reliable and

affordable in the nation – and replace it with a new, unknown system established by the legislature and the

courts. Question 3 would cost Nevada consumers and taxpayers billions, cause the loss of thousands of

good-paying jobs, and disrupt Nevada’s progress toward a renewable energy future.

Question 3 locks a risky experiment into Nevada’s Constitution Many states – including Nevada in the late 1990s – tried unsuccessfully to deregulate their electricity systems. California’s attempt in the early 2000s led to skyrocketing rates, rolling blackouts, and over $40 billion in added costs for consumers and taxpayers. Today, it’s been nearly 20 years since any U.S. state tried to deregulate its electricity system because the process has proven to be so unsuccessful.

Given this history, Question 3’s approach to deregulation is especially risky because it’s a Constitutional Amendment, so when things go wrong, it would take at least four years to repeal Question 3 and begin to undo the damage this measure would cause. No U.S. state has ever used a Constitutional Amendment to deregulate its electricity system.

Question 3 leaves implementation to the legislature and courts

Question 3’s extremely vague wording doesn’t provide clear instructions or any details on how the new electricity system would be set up or how it would function. Instead, implementation would be left to the state legislature and ultimately the courts. Question 3 would result in years of complicated lawsuits, yielding unpredictable results and costing Nevada taxpayers millions.

Promoters of Question 3 have said Nevada’s legislature should pass laws modeling our new electricity system after Texas’ partially deregulated

Information about Question 3

system. But Texas has experienced rolling blackout problems over the last decade, and consumer complaints there spiked 8-fold in the years following electricity deregulation. Furthermore, a recent study found that consumers there paid $25 billion more for electricity over a 12-year period than consumers in nearby regulated areas.

Question 3 could force Nevada to join California’s electricity grid

If Question 3 passes, Nevada would become the first state to decide to deregulate without having a wholesale electricity market in place. Proponents have attempted to address this flaw in the measure by proposing that Nevada join California’s system, known as the “California ISO.” This would cause Nevada to lose control of its energy future and increase our reliance on out-of-state energy providers.

Forcing Nevada to rely on California’s electricity system instead of Nevada-based electricity sources is very risky given California’s turbulent

Page 14: President Las Vegas Southwest Rotary Newsletterlvswr.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/20180430-Las-Vegas... · 2018-06-06 · Club Phone–702-870-4655 Check out our website and our

[Question 3] doesn’t say that it guarantees reduced prices … I want to be careful that we’re

realistic about what can happen.” –Texas-based energy marketer

& Question 3 supporter

Testimony before Nevada’s Public Utilities Commission, 1/16/18

energy history, and the fact that California’s current electricity rates are nearly double Nevada’s. This approach would also force Nevada to turn over many governance and oversight duties for its electricity system to California politicians and the federal government’s Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC).

Question 3 would cost Nevada consumers and taxpayers billions

Dismantling Nevada’s existing electricity system would cost billions of dollars due to Question 3’s requirement that NV Energy sell its power plants and terminate long-term energy agreements. There would also be major costs involved in establishing a new deregulated electricity system. These costs would be paid for by all Nevadans in the form of higher electricity rates and higher taxes.

Even Question 3’s proponents have admitted in recent Public Utilities Commission hearings that the measure doesn’t guarantee lower electricity prices. Under Nevada’s current electricity system, electricity rates have already decreased 15% over the past decade, and are among the lowest in the country. In fact, Nevada’s average electricity rates are lower than rates in every deregulated state.

Join the Coalition to Defeat Question 3

A bipartisan coalition of concerned citizens from across Nevada is coming together to make sure voters get the facts about Question 3 and defeat this damaging measure.

To learn more and join our growing coalition, please visit our website: NOon3.com

Question 3 disrupts Nevada’s progress toward a renewable energy future Nevada is a leader in providing renewable energy, ranking 2nd in the nation for renewables like geothermal and 4th for solar power. NV Energy is on track to double its renewable electricity generation by 2023.

But Question 3 would be very damaging to Nevada’s renewable energy future. It would result in the cancellation of dozens of existing and future clean energy projects across the state, and increase our dependence on fossil fuel energy sources.
