And eat some black-eyed peas, Hoppin' John, or pork and sauerkraut (they're all supposed to bring luck in the new year if you don't get gaseous ... whew).

Most people who choose to move to western Nevada do so because of the lifestyle advantages we offer. It is a pretty easy life whether you are a senior citizen or a family raising children. We have low taxes, a good economy, a civil society, a college, a new hospital campus, clean air, four moderate seasons and exceptional recreational activities. In addition, Carson City enjoys some of the finer amenities, usually not found in cities of 57,000 people, because we are the state capital.
It would be easy to get an early start on complaining about all the problems that will haunt our cities, counties, state and country in 2008.

The economic downturn puts non-mandated services at risk. Public safety takes up 62 percent of funding, leaving little for all other city services. The Carson City Library is vulnerable in these tough times. It represents less than 3 percent of general fund spending, but provides services 57 hours a week, checks out 335,000 items and has 250,000 visits every year.

Christmas is about love Carolyn Tate and Maizie Harris Jesse recently wrote an article on the "true meaning of Christmas." In their article, they clearly dismissed the most important component of Christmas - Christ. The focus they placed on giving was not necessarily wrong or bad; however, giving is not the meaning of Christmas. The meaning and purpose of Christmas is to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ.
The following people were booked into the Carson City Jail. All suspects are innocent until proved guilty in court:

As the year - any year - comes to an end, it can be likened to a chapter of life that is bound together in a book. A year can resemble a mini-lifetime - a book of its own with a beginning and end, and a cover that may fool us about the storyline and outcome. It is a cover that can change throughout the year, reinventing and redesigning itself while we are still reading what we think is the same story.

Congress, led by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., gave Nevada a most welcome Christmas present earlier this month by slashing the budget for the proposed Yucca Mountain nuclear waste dump by more than 12 percent to its lowest level in several years.

Nevada Appeal columnists Carolyn Tate and Maizie Harris Jesse touched the third rail of Nevada politics this week and, shockingly (pun intended), lived to tell about it. The duo suggested that considering Nevada's budget problems and infrastructure needs, perhaps taxing the tarnation out of those who want to use Yucca Mountain for nuclear waste storage is an idea whose time has come.
I know we missed some. That's what I'm thinking, and dreading, right now on Thursday afternoon, even as our photographers are running around town taking pictures of charity shopping trips and Christmas donations.

If there is a universal and nonpartisan view about Nevada's schools, it's that they're in need of improvement. The only thing in question seemed to be how to accomplish that.

Nevada's economy is growing slower than projected, so people and businesses have had to cut back their planned spending. Accordingly, tax revenues are also growing slower than projected, so the state must reduce its planned spending, too.
University Chancellor Jim Rogers is Nevada's foremost opponent to the government tightening its belt in these slowing economic times. He claims his university budget is already at the bare bones level and there just ain't no fat anywhere to be found. Indeed, in a letter he sent to Gov. Jim Gibbons last week, Rogers emphatically proclaimed, "It is my sincere belief that mandating an 8 percent cut of the (university) System's budgets will cause permanent and irreparable damage to higher education."
A recent and very troubling air traffic safety report by the government's General Accounting Office confirms what I've been hearing from a friend who is an air traffic controller at one of the nation's busiest airports - namely, that President Bush's decision to "privatize" the Federal Aviation Administration puts the flying public at risk.
