Something's missing. The original plans for Carson High School included a theater to serve its performing arts program. Then they ran short of money, and something had to go. What went was the theater.
General Nutrition Center Carol Harmon, owner 4111 S. Carson St.
Officer can't ask ifgun might be loaded This is a very sad time for both the family of the deceased man and the deputy in Fernley. No one wants to see a sheriff's deputy shoot and kill another person, but the fact of the matter is this ... The deputy on scene has a job that requires him to wear a bulletproof vest and carry a gun.

We hope parents are aware by now of the potential risks lurking for their children on the Internet, but the reminder last week from Carson Middle School is worth repeating: Monitor what your child is doing, because forewarned is forearmed. Like most everyday pursuits involving young people, the Internet is by and large a benign and informative place. Students these days have access to more knowledge at their fingertips than ever.

Groundhog Day and the Chinese "Year of the Dog" are nigh upon us ... prepare for six more weeks of winter if Punxsutawney Phil sees his shadow (and if you're interested in being the next "Phil" handler ... the old one just resigned ... contact the mayor there) ... or, if you go by the Chinese New Year, dogs are loyal and true (if you want to know if you're a "dog" or rooster or tiger, etc., eat at your favorite Chinese restaurant and read the placemat) ... Maizie's a dog (keep your remarks to yourselves, please) ... don't know what the Care-bear is ... gung hai fat choy

I didn't plan to be cranky this week. I can't help it, though, because in my line of work I have to read the news.And the news makes me grouchy. So instead of being my usual, cheerful self, I'm going to get a few things off my chest. I just hope I feel better. Here's what made me angry this week, in no particular order: n The federal government is $337 billion in the hole.

It's early February, there's still snow on the ground and a chill in the air - and we're thinking baseball. That's because Western Nevada Community College has the newest team in town. And in a place with a long, strong history of America's pastime, the more opportunities to watch baseball and follow a hometown team the better.

Schriver and Morris are each being held on $40,000.
Despicable. Unthinkable. Inhuman. Unforgivable! However, the one word that cannot be used to describe the sickening child-abuse case of a 16-year-old girl and her 11-year old brother being kept prisoner in their own Carson City apartment under starving conditions is "irresponsible." That word hints of absolution. If allegations are proven to be true, then the only pardon to the mother and grandmother of these sinfully forsaken children, as well as their mother's boyfriend, is for prison security to growl the word "pardon" to them as they slam their heads full force into a prison wall.
The several additions to Nevada's open meetings law from Senate Bill 267 are welcome reinforcements to the public's right to see and hear its government in action. As is usually the case, the new requirements are a response to a public body that saw a need to skirt the law's most basic and general provision - that public business be conducted in front of the public. But the state Board of Regents, which oversees universities and colleges, somehow got the notion it should meet in secret to get rid of a college president and lobbyist.
Cub Scout Pack 143 from St. Paul's Lutheran Church held its pinewood derby on Jan. 21. The winners received trophies made by first-year Webelos. The winners were:
Until this week, I had never visited MySpace.com, the trendy online meeting place for Generations X and Y.
The late Carson City and Reno businessman Roger Murdock, who died earlier this month at 73, was a unique character - one of a kind. He could be kind, generous, goofy and exasperating, or all of the above. I'll miss him and his infectious enthusiasm for life and sports, and so will his many friends in our town.
In the Information Age, the winning nations will be the ones who have the best educated populations. Unfortunately, that doesn't include this country.
How easily we forget that we are just as vulnerable to attack - perhaps more so in the West - from terrorists who don't speak in foreign tongues or have religious fervor as their motive. The arrests last week of three ecoterrorists in California and indictment of 11 more in Oregon are startling reminders that people much closer to our homes than Iraq, Iran or Saudi Arabia are plotting violent, destructive acts in the misguided belief they will further their political causes.

The last few years I've been part of a training seminar for young reporters on the topic of ethics. I tell them I'm helping to lead the seminar because I know everything there is to know about it. It's a joke, and most of the reporters get it.
The recent horrifying case of child abuse prominent on the front pages of our local newspapers has raised our community's awareness about child maltreatment. The case of these two starving children is certainly a scenario that crosses the line over child abuse into torture. Unfortunately, however, this case in not that unusual. In the United States, on a "normal" day, four children will be starved or beaten to death, usually by their "loved ones." A greater number will be forced to engage in sexual acts or beaten unconscious (US Dept. of Health and Human Services, 1999).

Maybe if we type slowly, Nevada's elected officials will have a better chance of comprehending what we mean when we talk about ethics and influence-peddling. So far, though, we have our doubts. The latest revelation came from financial disclosure statements filed last week that showed seven state legislators accepted free tickets to a Rolling Stones concert in November from the lending company Ameriquest.
This sounded really good to us ... Fred Cessna sent us a picture of "Garfield" with his bunny slippers on, a cup of coffee in his paw, his sleeping hat on, and his eyes at half-mast ... " We all get heavier as we get older because there's a lot more information in our heads. So I'm not fat, I'm just really intelligent and my head couldn't hold any more so it started filling up the rest of me!" Gee ... we thought it was overeating ... what a wonderful explanation for the 66 percent of us whose brains have descended to our waists and butts ...
It can happen here. Child abuse and neglect can be, unfortunately, an almost daily occurrence in Carson City. Law enforcement, courts, welfare agencies and groups such as Court Appointed Special Advocates and Advocates to End Domestic Violence constantly sort through the thickets of dysfunctional families, irresponsible parents and volatile situations to try to determine one thing: What's best for the children?
The Rev. Rocky Polito's excitement for preaching the word of God is powerful. As a person who admits to being bored easily, he describes his passion for the Bible and relating it in a useful message as his ideal sermon.
In a recent television interview, author Anne Rice spoke about her return to Catholicism after 30 years as an atheist. I was reminded of my own journey back to Catholicism. When my husband, Joe, and I married in 1968, we no longer attended Sunday Mass. Like many young people in the '60s, we questioned the validity of organized religion, and spent the next 15 years without any religious affiliation.

People love fear. More than that, they crave it, seek it out, wash themselves in it. If you have any doubt, try counting all the Friday the 13th movies or Stephen King novels. Fear sells. Fear is also the favorite tool of hucksters. Snake-oil salesmen for years have preyed on people's fear to sell them potions promising to make them safe. Offer a cure for something that people fear, and they will pay you anything to get it.
Fallon Justice of the Peace Dan Ward made his appearance before the Nevada Commission on Judicial Discipline Wednesday and received the proverbial "slap on the wrist." We have no personal ax to grind with Ward. We're sure he's a nice guy. Evidently, he's a good buddy to have if you're a scofflaw and show up in his courtroom. He'll treat you right - pull a few strings, toss out a traffic ticket or whatever.
Is it fair to put the blame for poor reading and math scores on the shoulders of Nevada's elementary-school principals? Only if you're also willing to spread that blame far and wide - from parents to teachers to school-board members to legislators.

The national debate over whether President Bush and national intelligence agencies should be required to obtain warrants from federal judges before listening to al Qaeda-related phone calls takes place everywhere, even in the Nevada Appeal newsroom, where I discussed this "hot button" issue with a couple of colleagues the other day. "If an American citizen is on the phone with an al Qaeda operative, the super secret National Security Agency (NSA) should be monitoring that phone call," I asserted. "But who determines whether the call is really al Qaeda-related?" a left-leaning colleague asked. "Couldn't it be an innocent phone call even though one party or the other mentions the international terrorist organization?" Good questions. So I decided to explore this vital national security issue in greater depth.

You can't legislate morality. Or ethics, for that matter. Oh, you can try - as evidenced by the hundreds of such laws on the books across the land. But at some point, elected officials either get it or they don't. That's our reaction to the proposal by House Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-Ill., to ban all privately funded congressional "fact-finding" trips as a response to the Abramoff lobbying scandal.

The group consists of 70 string players from all Carson City School District elementary and middle schools.
Republicans may like to brag that they are the party of Ronald Reagan and are dedicated to the policies and principles for which my dad stood, but they are acting more like members of the party of Lyndon Johnson. Panicked by the potential of the growing Abramoff scandal which threatens to ensnare a multitude of members of Congress, Republicans are running around scattering contributions from the lobbyist and his clients in all directions in an effort to show how much they abhor even the appearance of having taken from them what now may be tainted funds.
A Reno deputy city attorney simply has it wrong when he says a new state law requires municipalities to keep secret the phone numbers, e-mail addresses and mailing addresses of people who have applied for positions on boards and commissions there. The Reno Gazette-Journal reported a week ago that the city attorney had blacked out home phone numbers, addresses and e-mail when the newspaper requested the information.
Republicans and Democrats alike should be ashamed that our soldiers in Iraq are having to reinforce the armor on their humvees themselves to keep from being killed. Or (from a wire service story), 80 per cent of the soldiers who have died in combat, could have been saved with proper armaments. Maybe Congress should send their armored limos overseas ... but then Washington, DC, IS a dangerous place ... (what were we thinking?)
The Nevada Pharmacy Board deserves congratulations for forging ahead with a program to allow Nevada residents to buy prescriptions from Canadian pharmacies via the Internet. It doesn't hurt that the board has residents and legislators behind it. The sole obstacle was Attorney General George Chanos' opinion that a law approved by the Legislature last year was flawed because it required drugs to be FDA-approved.
It's often the "dread factor" that keeps small-business owners handcuffed to antiquated computer programs.

I've been thinking a bit about the 12 dead miners in Tallmansville, West Virginia. Quite a bit. Can't seem to shake the thoughts. Once again, we are reminded of how man's own creations can turn on us as if to taunt us with the tempestuous boast of who or what is really in charge. Man never is. Not really. Not when it comes to forces of nature or his own man-made methods of destruction or even the environment of his livelihood. In this case, it was an explosion deep in the bowels of Mother Earth - a resentful explosion that unmercifully captured and kept the bodies of 12 innocent men as sacrificial offerings for man's extraction of one of nature's resources.
It's an intriguing idea being floated by Stateline resident Daniel Rosen, who says he'll run for a seat in the U.S. House and, if he wins, let his constituents decide how he will vote on legislation. He would do so through a Web site, www.NevadaVoteDirect.org, to take all the guesswork out of politics. "The idea is not to give more power to the people, but all power to the people," he explained.

We can't recall a debacle of such magnitude.No, we're not talking about the Abramoff scandal. There have been plenty of seamy congressional escapades over the decades. We mean Medicare Part D, which is failing on every front.

Susan tried to scam me this week.She called and expressed interest in an oak entertainment unit I have advertised for sale in the Appeal's classifieds. She talked to my wife, Jenny, and asked if she could get a photo of the unit sent to her by e-mail. Jenny suggested she just drop by the house and take a look for herself. That's when Susan said she was in Houston and couldn't come to see the unit. She'd need a photo.

Although I've been an educator most of my life, I came to kindergarten rather late in my career. Perhaps it is for that reason I have noticed that kindergarten teachers are really quite different from other teachers. However, I haven't been able to put my finger on precisely what that difference was. Until now. You might be a kindergarten teacher if:
Buoyed by his forethought, a gentleman we know had it all figured out this Christmas (he should have known better ... it's the age-old mystery of "man vs woman") ... he had the presence of mind to ask his wife what she wanted beforehand ... "a Dremmel drill" was the answer, so that's what he bought.
As Nevada Sen. Harry Reid hits the trail to "red" states this week to try to gain political leverage from the Jack Abramoff lobbying scandal, we have to wonder just how much mud is going to stick on Republicans and how much on Reid himself.

So who do you think is on the cover of the January/February issue of prestigious "Foreign Policy" magazine? If you guessed that the publication's Man (or Person) of the Year is Venezuela's autocratic anti-American dictator wannabe, President Hugo Chavez, you win the Grand Prize - a one-way trip to Caracas, where I lived and worked for seven years during a previous life.
Where are they now? What are they saying now? Who are "they?"

Bail was set at $3,500. The driver of the vehicle, of which McChesney was a passenger, was charged with misdemeanor suspended license, fictitious registration and no valid driver's license.
In Latvia in the early 1930s there were few cars and even fewer asphalted roads. In Aluksne, a small town of 5,000 located 30 kilometers from the Russian and Estonian borders, there were only three automobiles, one of which - a Model T Ford - happened to belong to my mother's uncle Gorijs. As a result, Mother learned to drive, and even more remarkably for a woman at the time, passed her driver's test, which she took in Riga, the capital.
Happy new year! Attitude and focus are key factors for directing our lives. We can have a new outlook for the new year, which can be optimistic. Or we can say, "look out, it's the new year," and begin pessimistically. I try to begin each year with the remembrance of one of the shortest sermons on record.

With all that happened in 2005, it may seem to be a difficult year to top in Carson City. But 2006 will bring the most significant change residents have seen in many years - or, at least, half of a significant change. We're talking, of course, about the freeway. Its opening sometime later this winter or early in spring will change people's driving habits, alter the traffic patterns in neighborhoods throughout town and refocus business development at its interchanges.
Ahhh, for the good old days when the Rose Bowl parade and game were on Jan. 1 ... the parade was scheduled for yesterday at 11 a.m. (postponed a day, they said, because the first fell on a Sunday), and the game won't be until tomorrow at 5 p.m. Ratz. What's this world coming to? We had to clean house, knit (yeah, right) and watch the rain come down again ... yippee. So happy New Year to all, and may the rest of it be terrific. Make your resolutions now to diet, get rich, have your children get straight As and treat you with respect ... dream on ... good luck ...
Given enough warning to be prepared for the New Year's weekend storms, Carson City crews and their leaders came through with a stellar showing. Not everyone and everything could be protected from nature's wrath. But the lessons of the New Year 1997 flood were well remembered, and damage was minimized where possible.
