Valentines is the day to show love to not only significant others, but to everyone in our lives that we love and cherish. In classic mythology, the god of love and desire known as Cupid, shoots people with his golden arrows and with this very action the person that was shot has now became filled with uncontrollable desire for someone. The moment I laid my eyes on my gorgeous girlfriend, Edith, I knew that I was shot by cupid, and as our relationship grew my love for her grew as well.

Carson City AGLOW International meeting, 10 a.m. Monday, Feb. 17 at the Carson City Children’s Museum, 813 N. Carson St, downstairs in the Birthday Room. Join friends for a time of worship, the Word and fellowship. Refreshments provided. For more information call or text Kay at 775-910-3856 or Noreen at 626-230-7924.

One of the many challenges the Nevada Day Committee faces is judging the parade entries, as far as who is the best in which group or category, along with Overall, President, Parade Director, and People’s Choice Awards.

Happy 30th Birthday to Rayna Katherine Donoho-King
Our September Girl

Try to remember that time of September when life was new
and full of anticipation of a new season that filled us
with a breath of fresh crisp air,
a song like the Zephyr winds blowing through the trees
over the mountain tops and down through the valley,
from the subtle to the dramatic continuously changing as the trees
and landscape of the season,
with unpredictable highs and lows that could be dramatically different
from the beginning of fall to the end,

It was a day like any other when ShaRae Staley woke on August 3 in her home on N. Edmonds Street in Carson City. She received a message from her husband, who she had separated from six weeks previous, that he wanted to come over and make their children breakfast and take them to the park. ShaRae agreed, as any mother would.

When her husband, Cortney Staley, arrived, nothing seemed amiss. He came and made their children breakfast, and she went to work.
