Bosses named for parole, National Guard
Tuesday, Jan. 2, 2001 | 10:13 a.m.
CARSON CITY -- A veteran of 25 years in the field of parole and probation has been named to head the state Board of Parole Commissioners by Gov. Kenny Guinn, who Friday also named a new boss for the Nevada National Guard.
Dorla Salling, who is district administrator for the Division of Parole and Probation in Reno, will succeed Richard Wyett, who resigned the $80,000-a-year job Dec. 15 in a disagreement with the Guinn administration.
"The role of Parole Board chair carries great responsibility," Salling said. "I will work hard to make the best decisions possible while keeping the rights of victims and the safety of the public as my first priority."
Wyett resigned after a behind-the-scenes dispute with Guinn over board member Tami Bass of Las Vegas.
Wyett reportedly had conducted an inquiry into the background of Bass, uncovering a misdemeanor conviction for welfare cheating, three driver's license suspenions, drove a state vehicle once while her license was suspended and had two unpaid judgments for more than $26,000 in old student loans.
A Guinn spokesman said Wyett's investigation was unauthorized, and Wyett resigned. Bass was later given a five-day suspension without pay for driving during work hours while her license was suspended.
Salling graduated with a bachelor's degree in criminal justice from East Texas State University in 1975. She is a certified peace officer and instructor.
Also Friday the Nevada National Guard's second in command, Giles E. Vanderhoof, was promoted to the top job.
Vanderhoof, assistant adjutant general since 1997, will succeed Tony Clark, who resigned to join the state attorney general's office.
Vanderhoof has been with the Nevada National Guard since his graduation in 1959 from Sparks High School and will earn $80,000 in his new job.
A brigadier general, Vanderhoof, as adjutant general, will command more than 3,000 members of the Nevada Air and Army National Guard and will oversee the Division of Veteran Affairs.
Clark is becoming solicitor general in the attorney general's office effective Jan. 21.
