What Works: Tis the Season to Volunteer
Submitted by editor on Mon, 11/28/2016 - 1:04pmI volunteer a lot of my time. Every potential client gets 30 minutes on the phone with me. I work with community organizations to support local causes. Advocates to End Domestic Violence is one of those. Each holiday, I usually write something about the importance of volunteerism. Yet, the power and two-way benefit of volunteerism didn’t hit me until I returned home to Carson City.

Commenting Obstacles
Submitted by Carson Now Reader on Sun, 03/20/2011 - 11:39amWhile I fully respect Kirk's decision to link comment posting to facebook, and also understand the reason he gives, I don't think it is the right step.

Simply because too many participants refused to open a facebook account just to be able to comment; they simply don't trust this social network.
