2021 Nevada Mining Association Individual Safety Awards

The Nevada Mining Association is an

organization that supports the mining

industry along with the industries that

support mining in Nevada. The mission

of the Nevada Mining Association is to

unite, educate, and serve as the public

voice of Nevada’s modern mining in-

dustry. Since 1913, the Nevada Mining

Association has partnered with policy-

makers, regulators, and community

leaders to ensure the State’s natural

resources can be protected while min-

ing communities are allowed to thrive.

Learn more about this beneficial organi-

zation at www.nevadamining.org.

Each year in conjunction with their an-

nual convention, the Nevada Mining

Association awards individuals with

safety awards. These safety awards begin with nominations at

each site in the categories of General Manager, Safety Manag-

er, Mine Manager, Superintendent, Safety Professional, Super-

visor, General Supervisor, Safety Champion, Trainer, and EMS

Mine Rescue. They look for individuals who are industry pro-

fessionals whose extraordinary efforts ensure all mine workers

return home safely after every shift. This is based on their per-

formance during the previous calendar year. Nearly 100 nomi-

nations were submitted by industry peers and 37 individuals

were selected. Of the 37 winners, 8 individual award winners

were chosen from Kinross Round Mountain.

2021 NvMA Individual Safety Award Winners

Mine Manager: Chris Swanson

Superintendent: Kathleen Autenrieth

General Supervisor: Ann Vath

Supervisor: Eric Merritt

Safety Champion: Ralph Bass

Safety Champion: Bruce Woods

Trainer: Darrell McMillan

EMS Mine Rescue: John Burton

Above right: Darrell McMillan humbly accepted his award. Like the others, Darrell thought there were more deserving people for the

award, but acknowledges that it feels good to be recognized. “Keeping people safe is by far the top reason I got involved in training.

Training is all about efficiency, proficiency, and safety. Each of these reinforce and enhance the others. The safest way to do a job

is usually the most efficient and more proficient we can help someone become the more we can improve their odds of success,”

said Darrell. He continued to describe the driving forces that attribute to his safety success. “First and foremost, I follow the rules.

Second, when I began my career here many years ago, one of my mentors, Jim Swigart said to me, ‘ Never turn your back on an

unsafe act or condition.’ These two things guide my actions everyday.”

2021 Nevada Mining Association Individual Safety Awards

Right: Mill General Foreman Ann Vath cares about safety cul-

ture. She says, “Safety is the utmost importance in my every-

day work life.” Putting safety first keeps her and her coworkers

in a safe working environment. Ann models safety in her job by

leading by example. She believes in working through safety

issues to find solutions in an positive way. Ann also stays in

communication with her crews.

Above: EMS Mine Rescue team member John Burton wants to

make sure that everyone goes home in the same condition

they showed up in. That’s why he makes safety a priority in the

workplace. “I spend my days constantly thinking about ways

those of us on the team can improve our trainings to make sure

miners have the best care possible on their worst days,” says

John. He says he’s not in the EMS/responder field to get a pat

on the back, but says it was an honor to be recognized.

Right: Projects Supervisor Eric Merritt says safety is first, no

matter what starting from the very basics of PPE up to high risk

activities. Eric said, “In dealing with contractors their safety

practices off the mine site doesn’t necessarily match the safety

standards we have on the mine site. So my day starts with

making sure they understand and adhere to our safety policies,

procedures, and standards.”

Announcement from Sunnyside Museum

2021 Nevada State Silver Cup Championship

The Nevada North Women’s Squad breezed to a 24-16

victory over the South Squad in the 2021 Nevada State

Silver Cup Championship at Dayton Valley Golf Club and

The Club at Arrow Creek in Reno. The event was reduced

to a two-day event–four-ball play in Day 1 and singles in

Day 2, when snow forced cancellation of play the first day.

Both teams were awarded five points for Day 1 when

there was no play. The North won the second day’s four-

ball session 6.5-3.5 and wrapped up the title with a 12.5-

7.5 win in the final day’s singles session. Tournament lo-

cation alternates North and South each year. Twenty

women representing Nevada South and 20 women repre-

senting Nevada North faced off in the event as the North

won back the Silver Cup. Overall, Team North now has a

16-12 edge in the annual event. Local Round Mountain

Golf Course member, Ruthie Maxwell (front row, to the

right of the trophy), won both of her matches during the 2-

day event. She also played in the Nevada State Senior

Women's Amateur in Boulder City Oct 29-30, which was

the final event of the year.

The Sunnyside Museum has de-cided not to hold their annual fund-raiser for this year. With the current economy and the uncertain future, they don't want to pressure their wonderful communi-ty for support. They would rather have you come visit them on our open house dates. Take advantage of the rich history that is the Sunnyside Museum. Our open house dates are:

November 20 December 18

Look for us on Facebook or www.sunnysidemuseum-

roundmountain.com

In the picture is Lillian Berg, wife of William H. Berg, on the left and a friend on the

right. They're on the Berg ranch. The Berg house, built by William in 1914, is now

located on the site of the Sunnyside Museum in Carvers. Visit the museum to learn

more about the history of Smoky Valley.
