Remembering Nevada

No one will ever forget the powerful punch of heavyweight boxer Earnie Shavers, now a resident of northwest Las Vegas Happy Holidays

By Mike Henle www.mikehenle.com

In his day, heavyweight boxer Earnie Dee Shavers carried a club of a punch. His opponents included heavyweight champion Muhammad Ali, who had to rally to beat Shavers when the two battled in New York’s Madison Square Garden in 1977.

Now 72 and living in northwest Las Vegas with his wife, Rita, the native of Garland, Ala., who grew up in Ohio, is enjoying the good life while savoring the years that saw him become the most powerful puncher in the history of the sport of boxing.

With a career that spanned from 1969-85, Shavers was fearless and challenged twice for the world heavyweight title, losing a unanimous decision to Ali; and an 11th round technical knockout to Larry Holmes in 1979 at Caesars Palace.

24 Simply55+

March/April 2017

It was the bout with Ali that drew world-wide attention considering that Ali had to rally to overcome the hard-hitting Shavers. Starting with the year he turned pro in 1969, his next 38 fights all ended early.

In addition, Shavers’ career was highlighted by a first-round knockout of highly-respected Ken Norton in a non-title bout March 23, 1979 at the Las Vegas Hilton.

Shavers hit harder than anyone, including Mike Tyson.

--- Larry Holmes Still in perfect shape, Shavers’ business card refers to him as “The Hardest Punching Heavyweight in History” with a record of 74 wins, 14 losses and 68 knockouts. Twentythree of his knockouts were recorded in the Not That Old And Loving It!

first round; and 44 of his 47 fights were won by knockout. About 92 percent victories were knockouts.

Long before boxing became overshadowed

by Ultimate Fighting Championship battles, Southern Nevada boxing fans saw Shavers fight five times in the dance hall of the Silver Slipper in 1971. – It was during that year

“Earnie was the hardest-hitting heavyweight of his time, perhaps ever. Ali said he had never been hit as hard as Earnie hit him, and Larry Holmes, who was knocked down by Earnie in their second fight (March 25,1978), said he hit harder than Mike Tyson.”

“He had the best left hand ever,” said Hunter, who covered his share of boxing events

Shavers hit harder than Joe Frazier, Cleveland Williams, Sonny Liston, George Foreman and Oscar Bonavena. He hit me so hard that it shook my kin folks back in Africa.

--- Muhammad Ali

when Shavers fought a mind-boggling 17 times during a hectic year including an appearance at Sahara Tahoe where he scored a 10th round knockout over Chuck Leslie.

During the same period of time, Shavers defeated “Irish” Pat Duncan for the Nevada state heavyweight championship in Reno.

“It was a good fight for a while before Shavers destroyed Duncan,” recalled former Nevada State Journal sports writer Tom Dye. Prominent boxing writers such as Associated Press columnist Tim Dahlberg and former Las Vegas Sun writer Jim “Catfish” Hunter recall Shavers and the power he brought with him to every fight.

for more than 30 years in the profession.

“Shavers gave Ali a better fight than expected.”

Nicknamed “The Acorn” by Ali because of his shaved bald head, and called the “Black Destroyer” by promoter Don King, Shavers was certainly a colorful battler and had the highest percentage of knockouts by a heavyweight.

Shavers, a 10-year resident of Las Vegas where he lives with his wife, stays active doing personal appearances, signing autographs and giving motivational speeches to youth.

Shavers has an interesting past away from the ring.

“A lot of my friends were hoodlums,” said

“He hit like a mule kicks,” said Dahlberg.

Shavers, who wrote a book entitled “Welcome to the Big Time” that was released in the 1990s. “They’re all dead now. God has forgiven me for my sins.”

Happy Holidays

Shavers’ wife said her husband never slows down.

“It’s a challenge to keep up with him,” Rita said.

“He has never had any bad habits and the worst thing he has ever done in his later years is have two scoops of ice cream.

“He has a tremendous outlook on life. Every day is a gift to him.”

Earnie Shavers and his wife, Rita, enjoy the outdoors of Las Vegas.

Speaking to young people and adults is a key part of Shavers’ life through his work with Earnie Shavers Ministries.

“I keep very busy and I really like speaking with young people,” Shavers said. “I have always liked Las Vegas. People from all over

the world come here every year.”

Shavers said of today’s youth, “Where they are going, I have been. I can give them something to guide their career and also tell them that if they don’t change their ways, they could end up in jail.” +

Shavers was a right-hand puncher who could hit you in the neck and break your ankle.

Successful Care Planning AutoLong-Term Travel

By Kim Boyer Medicaid rules are constantly changing, and obtaining Medicaid can be Home Improvement & Lifestyle challenging.

Still, you may be able to develop a plan for your long-term Simply Savers care. Following are some examples of successful planning. Feedback Long-Term Care Insurance. Edith and Daniel had substantial investments and IRAs for a comfortable retirement. When getting their estate Calendar Ofencouraged Events plan in place, they were to evaluate long-term care insurance, which they did and purchased. When Edith entered a nursing home years Remembering Nevada later, Daniel did the math.

Once the long-term care insurance paid towards the care, he’d only need to use principal of Happy around Holidays $1,000 per month. Their savings would last many years. If someone is fortunate enough to have this type of coverage, it may go a long way toward paying the cost of long-term care.

Division of Assets. Betty’s husband, Frank, needed a nursing home which would cost the couple over $7,000 each month. Not including their home, their assets totaled roughly $150,000 at the time Frank entered the nursing home. Betty was told to write a check each month to the nursing home. Betty could petition the court for division of assets and income, and set aside $120,900 (2017 figure) to herself as her sole and separate property, called her Community Spouse Resource Allowance (“CSRA”). In addition, there are several options for allocating

the additional amounts over the $120,900 to help her financial security. Fortunately, Betty did not just spend all her assets down.

Using Own Resources. Rian’s close friend Paul needed assistance that Rian just could not provide any longer. Both Rian and Paul got their estate planning in place many years ago, including powers of attorney for assets and powers of attorney for health care. They had talked about what they wanted and what they did not want. Rian helped locate a good home for residential care for Paul where there were just two residents and a putting green in the back yard.

Paul’s income mostly covered the care, and Rian was able to write the checks using the power of attorney for assets.

If you are planning ahead, consult with a qualified professional. Even after disaster strikes, there may be some options for preserving assets. + Information provided as a service of Kim Boyer, Certified Elder Law Attorney, updated as of 02/21/17.

Happy Holidays

By Oscar B. Goodman, Las Vegas Host Committee Chairman

Spring is just a few short days away and sports are on my mind. With events ranging from rugby to racing, it seems there is an activity for every kind of sports enthusiast this month.

Basketball is big news for our destination.

Every year, thousands of out-of-town fans flock to Las Vegas to catch all the college hoops action, especially the first round of March Mayhem, which is consistently one of the busiest weekends in Las Vegas. This year, Las Vegas will once again host four National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) basketball conference tournaments including the West Coast Conference (WCC), Western Athletic Conference (WAC), Mountain West Conference (MWC) and Pacific Athletic Conference (PAC 12). If you can’t make it to the games, no need to sit at home, a number of resort partners are offering special deals and hosting viewing parties.

Another fan favorite returning to Las Vegas this month is Big League Weekend at Cashman Field March 25-26. World Series champs, the Chicago Cubs, will return to Las Vegas for their 13th consecutive appearance during the event to take on the Cincinnati Reds. Over the years, Big League Weekend has become one of Las Vegas’ favorite springtime traditions.

Vegas on a Budget Happy Holidays

When vacationing in Las Vegas, many people focus on activities that can be expensive if not offset by gambling earnings. What may surprise some, though, is that some of the most amazing attractions in the metropolis cost nothing. Read on, and ten of the best free attractions in the city will be enumerated for your convenience.

Fremont Street

Fremont Street is one of the few places you can still see old casinos from the city’s past.

Several blocks allow only pedestrian traffic, which can make for a nice getaway from the gridlock on The Strip. The Fremont Street Experience houses a canopy with one of the largest LED light shows in the world, holds free open-air concerts, and has something to offer every night of the week.

Water Show

are from 5-11 p.m., and you can find it at the corner of Charleston Boulevard and Casino Center Drive.

Street Performers

Few cities can compete with Las Vegas when it comes to open-air street performers. Tolerant laws allow them to perform virtually anywhere they will not block traffic. You can spend an entire day moving from one performer to the next along The Strip and Fremont Street.

Circus Circus

Circus Circus Casino hosts a series of free circus acts in their Carnival Midway. The midway begins operations at 11 a.m. and boasts everything from trapeze artists to jugglers.

Unlike many of the popular attractions in the city, the circus acts are appropriate for all ages.

The Bellagio water show is something that captures the attention of anyone nearby.

At night, the lights add an extra element of grandeur, which makes the experience entirely unique from the daytime. Shows occur every 15 minutes and can be viewed from the sidewalk of the Las Vegas Strip right in front of the hotel.

Wetlands Park

If you happen to be in Las Vegas on the first Friday of the month, you can treat yourself to a free look into the local art scene. The monthly event features artists, vendors, and performers providing a family-friendly atmosphere. There is no admission fee, the hours of operation

Las Vegas maintains a wetlands park in the middle of the desert. The park is comprised of a wide network of trails that provide a nice getaway from the arid Vegas environment for a hike, bike ride, or stroll. It is located just outside the city limits on Boulder Highway, which becomes Fremont Street closer to The Strip.

The University of Nevada, Las Vegas is within walking distance of The Strip and is home to one of the largest museums in the area. There is no admission fee, and each month heralds a new series of events and exhibitions. It also Not That Old And Loving It!

hosts academic lecturers from different fields many evenings during the school year.

Mount Charleston

If you find yourself growing weary of the desert heat, there is a mountain getaway within 45 minutes of The Strip. Mount Charleston is a local micro-climate that supports snow much of the year. There is no fee to enter the area, and you can spend all day exploring the trails.

Venetian Palazzo

The Venetian, much as the name would imply, has an Italian theme. Within the casino is a series of canals, which provide an ideal place to give romantic gondola rides. While the chauffeured rides may carry a surcharge, watching them and strolling along their brilliantly decorated halls does not.

Not That Old And Loving It!

Wildlife Habitat

The Flamingo Hotel in Las Vegas hosts one of the most well known wildlife attractions in the city. Featured in the simulated environment are colorful fish, birds, and turtles. The habitat opens at 8 a.m. and closes at dusk.

In Conclusion

There is no shortage of things to do in Las Vegas, but finding the gems in the rough among all the flash, glitz, and glamour can be a daunting task. However, with a bit of forethought and inside information, you can improve your vacation and save a little money in the process. The amount of money you can spend on a Vegas vacation may be limitless, but there are myriad attractions that make it possible to indulge on a budget. +

Ways To Improve The Appearance Of Your Entryway

Remembering Nevada

Happy Holidays

While people take great pains decorating the interiors of their homes, often times the most important exterior feature of a home falls well short of expectations. The front entryway strongly influences how guests will perceive the rest of your home. An attractive, wellmaintained entrance draws visitors in and sets the tone for what lies beyond. A weathered front door, crumbling steps, overgrown plants and insufficient lighting makes a home seem less than hospitable. Create a warm and inviting welcome for friends and family by making a few changes to your front entryway.

Front Door

Little Extras

The addition of accessories can take your entryway to the next level. Bring on the bling with stylish new hardware for your front door.

A classic door pull, decorative door knocker and metal kick plate will make your entry the envy of the neighborhood.

Small touches such as distinctive address numbers crafted from wood, metal or tile make a big design statement. Address numbers not only help guests find your house, they are also a great way to express your design personality. Choose a sturdy mailbox that coordinates with your house color and other entry accessories. A monogrammed doormat and cheerful doorbell are the perfect finishing touches for your welcoming entryway. +
