 October was a busy month in District F, from the PRIDE Parade to new roadways to trunk-or-treats. As we approach Thanksgiving, I want to give thanks to my amazing team at the County without whom I would not be able to serve the needs of my constituents. So thank you, Team Jones!
As always, please feel free to contact me and my team by phone at (702) 455-3500 or by email at ccdistf@clarkcountynv.gov. You can also follow me @JustinJonesNV on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram to keep up with the latest events in the District.

 Distrct F's resident of the month, Kristen Corral, is an entrepreneur, small business owner, marketing guru, dog yoga teacher, vegan restaurateur, animal advocate, one of MYVEGAS magazine's Top 100 in Business in Las Vegas, and one of Vegas Inc's 40 under 40. And, now she can add policy change to her long list of accomplishments. Earlier this year she worked with the Clark County Commission to pass a cap on third-party delivery apps that were gouging local restaurants during the pandemic. Then, she took it one step further and created LoCo Las Vegas, a local coop based alternative to 3rd party delivery companies. Thank you, Kristen, for making District F, and all of Clark County, a better place to live, work, and dine. (Photo credit: Steve Marcus/Las Vegas Sun)

 Clark County Parks and Recreation presents Sunset Park'd Food Truck - a fun-filled, family event at Desert Breeze Park featuring 30+ Food Trucks, Live Music and activies of Kids and Adults. Click on the banner above for all of the details.
 Clark County Aquatics is looking for individuals aged 15½ and older interested in becoming lifeguards at County facilities throughout the Las Vegas Valley. Interested individuals can submit a part-time application online by visiting https://bit.ly/3m4FzmE. After applications are received, candidates will be interviewed and required to perform pre-requisite skills for the lifeguard class. Skills include fifty yards of freestyle swimming, fifty yards of freestyle swimming with a lifeguard rescue tube, one minute of treading water without the use of hands, and the retrieval of a ten-pound object from the bottom of the pool. Candidates who meet pre-requisites will be hired and paid to attend lifeguard training.
Besides learning valuable lifesaving land and water skills, lifeguards learn critical thinking skills, practice leadership, customer service, and improve people's lives in their communities. Many former Clark County lifeguards work full-time careers in medicine, policing, teaching, and the military. Lifeguarding is a rewarding part-time job that can prepare individuals for many additional future employment opportunities.

 On October 25th, Commissioner Jones joined Clark County Public Works to kick off the much-needed widening of Ft. Apache between Huntington Cove Parkway and Warm Springs Road. This project includes two additional travel lanes, a bike lane each direction, and storm-drain improvements. Not only will these improvements help ease traffic in the area, they will also make the road safer for motorists, cyclists, and pedestrians.

 Commissioner Jones teamed up with the Pioneer Saloon on Halloween for an afternoon of family fun. Families from the Goodsprings community, as well as other parts of Clark County, enjoyed crafts, face painting, food, and games.

 In 1916, during the peak of the mining boom, the town of Goodsprings was home to 800 residents, a hotel, stores, restaurants, churches, a theater, and multiple saloons. One of those many businesses, the Pioneer Saloon, built by Clark County Commissioner George Fayle in 1913, has survived and continues to operate today. Through the last 108 years the Pioneer has been the location of a murder over a poker game, a waiting spot for Clark Gable to hear word of his wife's fate after a plane crash, the subject/site of numerous movies and TV shows, home to more than a few ghosts, and a living memorial to the history of Southern Nevada. New owners have recently purchased the property and plan to keep the Pioneer Saloon alive and well far into the future.
