When I have political discussions with people, there is a new question I like to ask before getting too deep in debate: Do you have children? Until I became a father, I didn't understand how much parenthood and family life translates to politics and government. The family is the elemental form of government in our society. You have the leaders who are in charge (parents) who set the rules (laws) to govern and advance the welfare of the citizens (children, parents, relatives, pets, etc.).
The Nevada Commission on Tourism passed a resolution Wednesday concluding that a majority of the sales tax revenue from the proposed Cabela's Reno retail destination outfitter would come from out-of-state visitors.

A 125,000 square foot Cabela's store is proposed to be built next to Boomtown Hotel-Casino on Interstate 80 on the west side of Reno.

I have a simple question today for CEO Ed Epperson of financially strapped CarsonÐTahoe Medical Center: How much does the hospital spend each year on medical care for indigent illegal immigrants who show up at the emergency room knowing they'll be treated at the expense of the hospital's paying customers?
An important idea gets easily lost amidst all the talk about the future of the estate tax: intergenerational financial planning is about more than taxes. To be sure, preserving wealth for your family is a worthy goal.
It was a strange sight that July 4. Speeding down the town's only road, a leveled dirt "Main Street," were more than 30 costumed revelers going hell-bent on ATVs through this unnamed central Nevada town.

The major heroes from the recent rash of fires in Northern Nevada have been the firefighters. They accomplished an amazing feat in keeping the flames from burning down a single home or business. But there's another cast that deserves special mention in the wake of the fires - the businesses, neighbors, friends and even strangers who pulled together to help whenever there was a need.
Carson City River Advisory Committee meeting on Wednesday canceled The Carson River Advisory Committee meeting regularly scheduled for Wednesday has been canceled.

What's so trendy about trendy, other than it's trendy? I love Carson City, especially right now, when what is trendy is the restored, old standards. There's nothing like seeing a sweetly restored '55 Bel Air or an old gangsta' car. The question every restorer asks prior to the work is, "Do I want hot rod or original?"

Now that antiquated light fixtures leaking a known carcinogen have been discovered in Fallon's schools, all kinds of questions are flying around the community savaged by a notorious cancer cluster that afflicted 17 children, including three who died. Is this the smoking gun that has eluded an army of scientists who for the past six years have been searching in vain for the answer to one nagging question: Why Fallon?
The famous pink stucco buildings that once housed the world-renowned Mustang Ranch were completely remodeled and the facility, now known as Lance's World Famous Brothel, will celebrate its one year of operation anniversary Saturday

The fact Republican bulldog Chuck Muth is sinking his canines into a member of his own party says a lot about the man. He's serious about winning and even more focused on promoting a conservative agenda in Nevada. But he's not doing it the old-fashioned way, by ripping into Democrats.

The Lyon County Chapter of Mothers Against Drunk Driving is seeking sponsors to help pay for a crashed-car exhibit to be used in Northern Nevada to remind drivers of the consequences of drinking and driving.

The force of the impact cut a Mustang in two. The exhibit will be used at events such as the Nevada State Fair, Hot August Nights, community awareness events and school events.
I've reached a time in my life when merely getting ready for a walk is like preparing for battle. Sunscreen, hat, sturdy (read "expensive") walking shoes, custom orthotics, a little pad for a hammertoe. Then there is some careful stretching of a painful Achilles tendon. The rest of my body is showing signs of wear and tear as well. I wear a brace on my right hand for a deteriorated thumb joint. Hips, back and shoulders ache when I've overused them or even if I've slept wrong. That's if I've slept at all.
Once again, Northern Nevada residents are learning how thin the margin can be between just another day and the worst day of their lives. Sometimes the difference is a crew of Nomex-wearing wildland firefighters keeping a blaze from spreading into a subdivision.
If you mention the No Child Left Behind Act near a group of teachers, chances are you'll trigger a round of bitter complaints about how it has changed our schools, and not for the better. You might hear that it's turned schools into factories and teachers into robots, all geared toward turning out a product - students who are able to accurately answer questions on standardized tests.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Department of Energy will co-host a national renewable energy conference Oct. 10-12 in St. Louis to help create partnerships and strategies necessary to accelerate commercialization of renewable energy industries and distribution systems.

From now on, whomever their leader may be, wherever we are, al Qaida will follow, so be ready for them and their "friends." "War is hell," in case anybody has forgotten. Torture, assassinations, murder, "friendly fire," "collateral damage" - all go hand in hand with war, so why is anyone surprised? For all those who were lulled by "sanitary wars," in and out in a few days with only a "minimal amount" of killing, or "Mission accomplished," forget it.

Douglas seniors deserve a new center Seniors are a minority in Douglas County, and they are certainly treated that way. Seniors make up about 30 percent of the county population. If you only count adults, the senior population is approximately 40 percent. Most seniors live one or two to a household, unlike the average household, which is three or four persons, and they also tend to live in the more expensive houses with higher assessed values. Consequently, seniors directly or indirectly (rentals) pay approximately 50 percent of the county residential real estate tax.

I can hardly believe that 10 years have gone by since the Appeal published my first political column in June 1996. This experience only goes to show that time flies when you're having fun. To be more precise, I'm still having fun but I don't know about you, my loyal readers.
Most people are aware of how dire the health-care crisis is in this country, especially after hearing politicians say it over and over without doing a single thing about it. Right here in Carson City, some people are doing without important medications because they need the money to pay rent or buy food. Others with no health insurance haven't visited a doctor for years.

Mark my word, it won't be long before Carson City makes it on one of those outdoor magazine lists of the best places in the country to live. You've probably seen the lists I'm talking about ... they invariably include highbrow places like Jackson Hole, Wyo.; and Telluride, Colo. (where ordinary people couldn't afford to live), mixed in with more blue-collar towns like Pocatello, Idaho.

Setting down his fishing pole next to his political polls, Jim Gibbons decided to take a nap in the cool shade. It was only June. With the Republican gubernatorial primary in the bag like a fat trout, there would be plenty of time to campaign before November's general election against whatever minnow the Democrats offered for his supper. With most of the big-money contributors and high-priced GOP consultants in his camp, it appeared to political pundits that Gibbons was flying first class to the Governor's Mansion.

Nevada should probably be happy with the $14.1 million it's getting this year from the Payment In Lieu of Taxes program, since it's about 3 percent more than the year before. The problem is the payments are well below what would be fair compensation, and it's a battle every year to keep the funding from being cut.
To the handful of people who live in Tuscarora, Nev., it is not a ghost town at all, though the only "establishment" is the United States post office. Julie Parks, the postmistress, has established a small library in the foyer section; and that area also serves as a free-for-the-taking kind of thrift shop, where any of the town's minuscule population can drop off blouses, T-shirts or shorts they've gotten tired of wearing.
Nevada voters will once again take up a marijuana ballot initiative this fall, an issue muddied in rhetoric from both sides. The Regulation of Marijuana Initiative will appear on ballots in November. It would allow those 21 years old and older to legally possess, use, and transfer 1 ounce or less of marijuana. Penalties are also stiffened for those who drive under the influence of marijuana or sell it to minors. Use in public would be prohibited. For a $1,000 annual license fee, state-licensed retailers would be able to sell marijuana. An excise tax of $45 per ounce would be collected by the state from wholesalers. Sales tax would be the same as other products. Half of the profits from related licensing fees and taxes would be used for substance-abuse treatment and education.

There was something unfortunate about the election Sunday of a Nevada woman as the chief pastor of the Episcopal Church in the United States, and it had nothing to do with her qualifications. By all accounts, Katharine Jefferts Schori has lived an exemplary life, revitalizing the 37 churches in the state and reaching out to minority groups.

People ask me all of the time about my secrets or expertise in cooking a steak. There are many different cuts of steak in today's market (filet mignon, New York, Delmonico, culotte, top sirloin, flank, London broil, rib, top and bottom round). To cover all of these different cuts, in even short detail, would take half of today's newspaper. So we're going to talk about the filet mignon, New York and (my favorite) the Delmonico cuts.

By analyzing the expected performance of different asset classes, investors can seek to construct portfolios that will - over the long run - help to yield the highest possible return for a given level of risk.

Graduation Day - the Independence Day of formal education, especially for college graduates. But getting through high school is in a class of its own.

Make no mistake about it, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is firmly in charge of U.S. foreign policy in the second George W. Bush administration Ð and that's as it should be in a country that believes in civilian control over the military.

CARSON CITY Business licenses issued in Carson City as of June 9:
It happens at this time every year and, sadly, it goes virtually unnoticed.

When faced with a 30-day notice to move out from Decades Bar, Mustang Sallie didn't waste a moment to find another location for "Mustang Sallie's Deuces Grill."
Two lanes through downtown, huh? Sorry, we don't agree. Even with a completed freeway, traffic will remain steady and probably increase on Carson Street. Having only two lanes will lead to a bottleneck, especially if parking is allowed there, too. Developing parking off the main street, with better sidewalks, landscaping and outdoor dining would be a plus, but please don't add to the congestion and try and funnel many cars into a two- lane street ... sort of like trying to squeeze the Pillsbury doughboy into a girdle.

There's a reason that government agencies are required to put major purchases up for bid - to ensure taxpayers are getting their money's worth.

Despite the best efforts of Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada and other leading Democrats to brand the Republican Party as "a culture of corruption," Reid and his allies should be careful about playing fast and loose with corruption allegations. Because when it comes to corruption, both major parties know how to play that ugly, bipartisan game, and always have.
I was in a fast food mood the other night, so I sat down and watched "Supersize Me," the documentary about a guy who lives on McDonald's food for a month. The concept was intriguing, and I am a fan of fast food - in moderation - so I gave it a taste.
