In my Introduction to Business class at Western Nevada College, we’ve recently completed our module on Entrepreneurship. Every time I cover this topic, the same question arises: Aren’t entrepreneurs and small business owners the same?

In the 19th century, the darker side to life in Virginia City was often overlooked; it just wasn’t proper to talk about.

Recently I have been receiving complaints about pick up trucks and trailers travelling along U.S. 50 towards the city landfill with loads of refuse that is not covered or secured. This creates an issue as debris is blown out of the back of the trucks and trailers and ends up in the travel lane or alongside the roadway.
