She teaches her students not only to be prepared for the work force, but to become confident, well rounded adults.

Time is a precious commodity. Once it's gone, we can't get it back.

Time machines, like the one written about by H.G. Wells, haven't been invented yet. Until DeLoreans with flux capacitors become a reality, we have to make the most of our time and make it count.

The Nevada State Railroad Museum in Carson City will conclude its 33rd year of Santa Train this Saturday and Sunday, Dec. 16-17.

Nevada was hit hardest among the 50 states by the Great Recession of 2007-09 and was the slowest to recover. It was the last state to see its total employment levels return to pre-recession figures – even though our population growth had already resumed.

Since nearly everyone agrees that high employment is good, you’d think a public policy change that increases employment is something politicians would embrace. From experience, we’re skeptical, but we offer here evidence for just such a change: reforming state occupation licensing laws.

Local seniors who participate in the Meals On Wheels program through the Carson City Senior Center will have handmade placemats created by local children delivered with their Thanksgiving meals.

Following are comments I wrote 01/04/2017 but was unable to give at the BOS Meeting as I was home sick with a cold. Given the article in the Nevada Appeal today, I believe they are still timely:

So, my brother, Rex, and I were talking the other day about whether or not I was going to be attending the next Board of Supervisors (BOS) meeting. I told him that after the Vintage at Kings Canyon development was shoved down our throats, I didn’t have anything new to make public comment on, but was sure that something would come along.
