It seems no one can talk about Gerald Ford without mentioning his pardon of Richard Nixon. It's not fair to judge a person by a single decision. But in this case, that decision tells us something very important about the man, and about the kind of leadership we need.
There will be no regular mail service or retail service at United States Post Office locations Tuesday, due to an Executive Order issued by President Bush, directing government agencies to close as a mark of respect for former President Gerald Ford, who died Dec. 26.

I hope everyone had a December filled with family, friends, delicious food and some fun in there, too. I've had my share of all of the above, but now I'm ready for a little R&R with a lot less cooking and eating and more moving.

With more concealed-gun permits, 9/11 may have been less severe There is plenty of evidence that in jurisdictions where gun restrictions are severe, there are high levels of crime. It makes little difference if it's foreign or domestic, city, state or national, the scenario is the same. Therefore, it's not unreasonable to question the logic of those who support restriction of private individuals from firearm possession.

Here are a few New Year's resolutions that are easier to stick with than many of the traditional January vows. You do not have to overcome big obstacles to follow these tenets of investing, just develop a few good habits.
Dema and I have had the honor and distinction of serving you for eight wonderful years as your first lady and governor. Through this time and the campaign leading up to my first election victory in 1998, we have come in contact with literally thousands of Nevadans who have made a difference in our lives, people whom we have come to respect, appreciate, and admire for their sacrifice and sense of duty to their state and nation.
You can't walk through a room this week without overhearing a conversation about New Year's resolutions. The camps are usually split between those who think they're ridiculous (New Year's Day is an arbitrary point in time with no power to help you accomplish goals that you've heretofore failed at) and those who see it as a legitimate opportunity to change their lives.
The following are some of the calls to which deputies responded: • Commercial burglary report in the 5000 block of Highway 50 East at 7:52 a.m. • Residential burglary report in the 3200 block of Woodside Drive at 9:45 a.m.
It's become a trite tradition at the end of each new year to set a list of goals for the year ahead. So trite, in fact, fewer of us are doing it.
Carson City Pioneer Family Dance, potluck planned for New Year Pioneer Family Dance contra dance will hold its annual New Year's Eve Dance from 8 p.m.-midnight Sunday at the Brewery Arts Center Ballroom.
Italian Torta
Cavin's Woodcrafts Owners: Tom and Ken Cavin
Those who do business in the Eagle Valley saw no tremors like those felt from Enron and HP. Local consumers grumbled about high gas prices and the effects of a slowing housing market.

The annual holiday dinner for clients of Nevada AIDS Foundation is in jeopardy of being canceled due to lack of funds. Winterfest 2006 is scheduled for Saturday at the First United Methodist Church in downtown Reno, and more than 175 people are expected.
Tough town, Vegas. It has its share of mob hit men and mysterious millionaire sports bettors. Even the town's biggest rock band is called The Killers. The best part is that you can get to know this tough town vicariously thanks to a collection of literary efforts.
When a former president of the United States offers you a piece of his birthday cake, you really can't say "no." Oddly, that's what comes to mind first when I think of President Gerald Ford.
For the most part, the top stories of 2006 locally were not good news. There were crimes, fires and economic woes. This is the time of year to be optimistic for the coming year, however, so we'll offer what we hope a year from now will have become a few of the top stories of 2007.

Danielle Conway has cancer. It has spread, and she's in the hospital again (as this is written). Her insurance runs out this week, Jan. 1, and she is going through another round of chemotherapy, which, unfortunately, she may be allergic to. Danielle has two children, one in high school, the other in grade school.
Now that Christmas is over, the hard part begins. The Christmas spirit was so strong in Northern Nevada residents that there were seemingly endless photos and stories in recent weeks about their good deeds. There were so many that the Appeal couldn't get to all of them. Many people took part in fundraising. Others visited shut-ins or gave food, coats and toys to those in need. In some cases, entire classrooms participated.

Ever wonder what causes lumps in mashed potatoes, or what's the best way to get seeds to stick to seed bread? Why is some turkey meat pink, no matter how long it cooks, and which soy sauce has the best flavor?
The following are some of the calls to which deputies responded: • Accident on South Edmonds Drive near Koontz Lane at 6:45 a.m. • Threat report in the 800 block of East Musser Street at 9:45 a.m.
Nevada's troops stationed overseas have received more than 70 pre-paid phone cards worth nearly $600, donated from the Builders Association of Western Nevada to the Nevada National Guard. The funds were raised during BAWN's annual Christmas. The cards were sent this week so that some of Nevada's 300 National Guardsmen stationed overseas can call home during the holidays.
There is something about winter that brings out the primal urges in people. For some, it's the need to make fire to warm their houses, even if it costs more than running the furnace. For others, it's the urge to go hunt for food for the table that is easier and cheaper to buy at the grocery store.
A couple of weeks ago I urged my readers to keep an eye on that new casino development on the old Bodine's property at the busy intersection of Highway 395 South and Clear Creek Road. I issued that warning because I fear that sooner or later the out-of-state casino owner will want to turn the adjacent Carson City Fairgrounds into a parking lot.
Carson City Hike along river slated for Saturday There will be a hike to trace part of the railroad grades in Carson River Canyon for the Carson City Senior Citizens Center Saturday.
When federal immigration agents detained more than 1,200 workers at Swift meat packing plants in six states in mid-December, so-called "immigration advocates" started yelling and screaming about alleged violations of the illegal immigrants' "rights." I have a question for those advocates: What part of "illegal" don't you understand?
When driving forward, we so often find it necessary to look into our rearview mirror. So wary of what is behind us. But how often and for how long? If not often enough, we find ourselves forgetting what we passed and left behind. If too long, then we lose sight of where we are and will miss what waits for us ahead. Chances are we will then slam into what is ahead of us, hard, and alarmingly, without warning. Then it may be too late.
We take pleasure in answering thus prominently the communication below, expressing at the same time our great gratification that its faithful author is numbered among the friends of The Sun: I am 8 years old. Some of my little friends say there is no Santa Claus. Papa says, "If you see it in The Sun, it's so." Please tell me the truth, is there a Santa Claus?
Carson City Nevada Singles to hold end-of-year festivities
Do you know what stocks were stars this year? The ones that pay dividends.
A six-pack of cheers for Bob Beers! Well, I wish I could say that. The Nevada state senator's proposal for the Legislature to bite the bullet and allow teachers to carry handguns in classrooms doesn't even command a 20-gun salute from water pistols. I do not believe Beers' proposal will be approved, and I certainly do not think it will work, even if it is passed.
Carson City Singles to hold end of year festivities Nevada Singles will be holding a potluck, poker and bingo party at 5 p.m. Dec. 30. There will also be a New Years Eve party at 8 p.m. Sunday. Snacks and beverages

I discovered this week that I've helped break a Nevada Appeal tradition, which was publishing holiday memories submitted by our readers. The subject came up when I received the story from Jessi Winchester that's printed elsewhere on this page, and I mentioned it to someone who's been at the Appeal far longer than my nine months.
A blanket of snow covered the ground and crunched under the weight of small feet running and laughing in the protection and shelter of a time long past. Mother bundled us up in warm leggings and galoshes for the traditional Christmas hayride. A tractor pulled a flatbed filled with hay and happy families, and my father held my tiny hand on one side and my sister's on the other as our short legs struggled to climb up onto the hay with the rest of our friends and neighbors.
In this age of generic restaurants, stores and main streets, a community must hold tightly to those things that make it unique in the world. That is one reason it is so distressing to see something so uniquely Carson City - Bruno's Boxing Club - become a footnote in this city's history. It's equally distressing to learn why: purely bureaucracy.
An angel brought "good news of great joy." The messenger was an angel and not a man, because this birth was from above. This birth was not according to the will of man, but according to the will of God. This baby was God who became flesh. The fullness of the godhead dwelt in him in bodily form. God was in Christ!
Many hearts sank when they turned out the lights at the Stardust last month. It's a sure bet no one felt lower than Mary Girsch-Bock. Mary lives in Crowley, Texas, these days, but lately she has found her thoughts drifting back to the many good times she shared at the Stardust with her dear sister, Marge Durlak.
Today, Douglas County commissioners are scheduled to discuss a $24.7 million redevelopment deal to build 30,000 square feet of retail space near Highway 395 and Topsy Lane, just across the Carson City border. The motivation for building the center is to spark construction of a larger retail area by bringing sewer, water and roads across the lots owned by Carson City auto dealers Michael Hohl and Dink Cryer. If the 100 acres owned by the two men is developed, it could create a new source for sales tax for Douglas County.
Charging head first into the day after Christmas retail fray, Lanaia Lammay and Kristina Cormier, two shoppers from Douglas County, will be prepared with lists and receipts.

The Christmas season is on us, and by the time you read these recipes we will be in the middle of parties - both at home and in offices. These two recipes are wonderful new appetizers that I have used at my home.
This Puerto Rican eggnog, or coquito, is served to all guests at Caribe Mountain Villas in Canovanas from Christmas week through Three Kings Day (Jan. 6). The recipe came to owners Jeff Harpell and Mitchell Nemeth courtesy of their neighbor, Janette Herrera Carmona, who makes this drink for her holiday visitors.

For Lyon County residents worried about trains carrying high-level nuclear waste through their back yards, we remind them of these words from Sen. Harry Reid: "The proposed Yucca Mountain nuclear waste dump is never going to open. ... The tide is turning on Yucca Mountain, and it is time we look at viable alternatives and realistic approaches to long-term nuclear waste storage."

Some people equate Christmas with presents and material wealth. Others get it just right. A time for loving and sharing. Respecting others and their ways of life and belief. Hanukkah began Friday, and soon Kwanzaa will begin. All typify joy and goodness. So, in that vein, let us tell you about some people who have gone above and beyond.
Put this in your stocking: Nevadans made more money in Q3 2006, not only that, but our incomes exceeded National Price Index inflation, which fell to 0.6 percent in the third quarter, down from 1 percent in the second.
When his boss asked him to oversee a slow-cooker recipe contest, Steve Shipley braced for the worst.
CICERO, N.Y. - With four children ranging in age from 11 months to 10 years, Jill Fitzgerald finds herself coming and going all day, with little time to think beyond the moment. Dinner is inevitably even more hectic.

Macaroni and cheese shouldn't have to come from a box to be quick, or from an oven to be good. And no matter how it's made, it doesn't have to be a total wash nutritionally.
I was given life in Wyoming, where at Christmastime my dad would don a Santa Claus mask and secretly go outside and bang on the windows of our aged two-story ranch house - the oldest in town - and bellow "ho, ho, ho - ho, ho, ho." My six fellow children were both delighted and scared. When compared to other children, Santa didn't bring much. We were poor and knew it.
As I see it, the Baker/Hamilton Commission Report is an impassioned plea for bipartisanship as the Bush administration searches for a graceful exit strategy from the increasingly violent mess in Iraq. But extremists at both ends of the U.S. political spectrum equate a negotiated diplomatic solution with "surrender" and "defeat."
Carson City Dance lessons being offered to seniors Seniors are welcome to join other seniors at World Gym for dance lessons at 10:30 a.m. every Wednesday.
Winter's overcoat of darkness now wraps around Nevada. Winds are exhaling hard, pushing clouds like so many oversize smoke pillows through mountain peaks and in between the passes, sometimes finding rest in the cavities of its valleys. But these winds are hot winds. And the clouds smoke. Cigarette smoke? No. It's the smoke bulleting through the ears of smokers and restaurant and bar owners over the new smoking abolition laws passed by the state.
Construction on Carson City streets for the week beginning Dec. 11. • Due to the construction of the new Sheriff's Administration Building, Harbin Avenue is closed to traffic between Musser and Second streets. This closure will remain in effect through September.

The Nevada WIC program will be ringing in the new year with the grand openings of two new clinics, operated by Carson City Health and Human Services, and the Las Vegas Clark County Urban League, through grants from the Nevada State Health Division.
December is a time when most Americans will run up at least a little extra debt in order to celebrate the holiday season.
Our question for Bob Beers, a man who wanted to be governor of Nevada, is why his school safety proposal stops at arming teachers? Why not also mandate bulletproof school uniforms for students? Maybe he could have all the pencil sharpeners removed to ensure students don't have access to sharp objects that could be used as weapons. The last two things aren't much more ludicrous than Beers' proposal, which is meant to counter reports of more than a dozen guns confiscated at Clark County schools this year.
Candy making doesn't require a whole battery of arcane equipment, but a few well-chosen tools can make the difference between success and failure.

Making cookies for Christmas is one thing, but only the truly fearless cook attempts candy.
Place candy canes in a food processor and pulse to chop them but do not process into a powder. Alternately, place candy canes in a plastic bag and use a hammer or meat pounder to chop.

The massive construction project surrounding Casino Fandango will be completed in stages over 2007, starting with the opening of the new theater early this summer.
You don't need a Christmas miracle when Dema Guinn is your first lady. After reading a story, letter and editorial in Wednesday's paper about people upset that the Governor's Mansion was not decorated for Christmas, the first lady set out to make it right.
These caramel-nougat-nut rolls are reminiscent of the pecan log rolls sold by Stuckey's, the roadside restaurant that was a fixture in Christine Bisbee's car-trip-heavy childhood. Making caramel from scratch is an exacting task, so Bisbee melts down commercial caramel candies.
Kathy Baugh and Joaquin Gonzalez are just the sort of people you'd like to meet at a local bar. They're a handsome couple. He made money in real estate, and she's a nurse at a local hospital. Young and sociable, polite and funny, they like to drink microbrews and play the quarter video poker machines. Did I mention they smoke?

If the worst thing Gov. Guinn and his wife, Dema, will be remembered for in Carson City is neglecting to decorate the house they've vacated, they'll have had a successful stint in the mansion. But we sure wish they'd thought to put up a wreath and some lights before boxing up their belongings.
Carson City Hikes for Sierra Club, senior center set for this weekend There will be a hike tracing part of the railroad grades in the Carson River Canyon Saturday for the Carson City Senior Citizens Center and Sunday for the Sierra Club.
The Iraq war fumbles on. If you want to get a clear picture about what's happening, go to the PBS Lehrer News Hour at 6:30 p.m. on a night when they do the honor roll of those American military people killed in Iraq. It's a brutal few minutes as the faces and the names roll by. Most are in their early 20s, a few in their 30s, and one on a Monday night just 19. This is sadly what our side of the war is all about.
The lawsuits filed in Clark and Churchill counties over the state's new smoking law probably have many Nevada voters wondering if their vote on the ballot initiative that passed on Nov. 7 was a waste of time. A group of Southern Nevada businessmen is determined to stop the law through the only remaining means available to them - the courtroom. If they're successful, it will call into question the state's ballot initiative process.

Do you want to do something really nice for our servicemen and -women in Iraq and Afghanistan? Then make sure they get Silly String (or stuff like that). They spray it into so-called "empty" rooms, and, if there's a trip wire there, that will set off a bomb. The Silly String hangs on it without setting off the bomb and saves their lives, giving them time to disarm it.

Some of my favorite childhood memories are of sitting on my grandfather's lap as he played Michigan Rummy with all my Swedish great-aunts and uncles. Before I was old enough to play, I sat as he played and whispered the rules in my ear. He included me and made me feel part of the game. I was attended to, taught the rules, made to feel important and valuable.
The Festival of Trees fundraiser for the Nevada State Library and Archives raised $2,246 to help bring future exhibits to the gallery in the archives. All 90 of the items up for auction had bids, with the highest-priced item being a large white holiday tree covered in poinsettias.

Dear Gov.-elect and Mrs. Gibbons: Welcome to Carson City! This is still a pretty nice town to live in, although it's bigger than some of us old-timers might prefer. Nevertheless, we know we can't stand in the way of "progress."
We compliment wild-horse advocates for scheduling a meeting Monday to talk about solutions to a dispute over wild horses in the Santa Maria development. The emphasis should rightly be placed on "talk" rather than "shout" or "demand," which is so often the case when it comes to wild horses. Some believe wild horses should be afforded complete protection, and others believe their protections are already far above those afforded other wild-animal populations.
I don't know how a whole year can go by so fast, in the blink of an eye. It seems that I was just putting away the Christmas decorations, and it's already time to get them out again.

Ask 10 liberals what liberalism is, you will get 20 different answers, and most of them will be wrong. And yet liberals made great gains in the 2006 elections, which should tell you just how bad conservatives are doing.
Dan Mooney's column in the Nov. 22 Appeal ("Lingering questions ...") is inaccurate and unfair concerning newly elected Carson City school trustee Joe Enge. It's also condescending to voters and illogical. So, I'm disappointed in my friend Mooney.
CARSON CITY Business licenses issued in Carson City as of Dec. 1:
T]he buzz in business circles is that Northern Nevada needs more young professionals. Not that we necessarily have to steal them from Sac and San Fran (though that doesn't hurt, in my opinion) but we also have to keep the ones born and raised here from leaving and never coming back. Carson City must tempt the 25-40 age group away from the university cities, get them to come back home to set up their businesses and raise families.
Have you seen the T-shirt that says "Unstressed, Refreshed, Inspired, Retired"?
CHICAGO - There is life after death - at least in retail.
There's a saying among journalists, "If your mother says she loves you, check it out." It's a humorous reminder that skepticism is among the most important traits a journalist can have. We are, after all, in an age where people have faked cancer to get others to give them money.
