For all of the threats that Carson City, and any other city for that matter, presents to its residents, one of the worst was demonstrated on Thursday when a driver narrowly missed a family in a crosswalk on College Parkway, but hit and killed their dog they were walking on a leash.
Anyone who cares about America's deteriorating image in the world should be worried about what's happening to our government's leading international broadcaster, the venerable and respected Voice of America (VOA). If Congress adopts Bush administration budget proposals, VOA English-language services will be slashed in order to direct more "light" programming at the war-torn Middle East.
While Democrats and Republicans argue over whether the war in Iraq can be won, an important question goes unanswered: Can we afford to win? So much of the talk about this war has been about differences in religion and culture, we forget that the real reason we are fighting has to do with economics.
Imagine this: A man - any man - states in public that it is only out of "... natural impulse..." that an adult would possess hundreds of child pornographic photos. The eyebrows of those listening to that would rise as if tugged by an industrial pulley chain. Thoughts would range from, "This guy must have his own reserved parking spot at an adult trading post," to "Let's get the kids and run like hell!"
The Bureau of Land Management will be opening the BLM campground adjacent to Indian Creek Reservoir at 8 a.m. Monday. Fees for camping will be the same they have been since the 2005 season and are similar to other facilities in the area.

It occurred to me on Thursday morning that I was probably eating breakfast in the safest place in Nevada. Sitting at the tables around me were heroes of all sorts. Lifesavers in the form of doctors, nurses and everyday people who suddenly found themselves thrust into life-or-death situations. There were police officers, firefighters, EMTs ... all the types you'd expect to see at such a function (including the cardiac team from Carson-Tahoe Regional Medical Center, which earned the award in the Medical Rescue category). But there were also plenty of heroes from professions that have nothing to do with saving lives.
I have joined the ranks of the tax procrastinators. I didn't mean for it to happen. It just did. Usually, I do my taxes in February, write a little column about it, move on to the next pressing topic.
The following people were booked into the Carson City Jail. All suspects are innocent until proved guilty in court: • A 27-year-old trucking company employee from Carson City was arrested at 2:17 a.m. Wednesday in the 3800 block of South Carson Street on suspicion of misdemeanor drunken driving.
Pontius Pilot responded to Jesus at his trial with: "What is truth" (John 18:38)? Jesus had actually considered this just hours earlier while praying to his Father, when he said: "Thy word is truth" (John 17:17). We generally understand that this "truth is knowledge of things as they are, and as they were, and as they are to come" (Doctrine and Covenants 93:24). This truth is in no way temporary; it endures forever (Psalm 117:2). But the word or scriptures are really just the beginning of truth - the springboard to greater truth. We read how this is done in John, where he notes that the Spirit of Truth "will guide you into all truth ... and he will show you things to come" (John 16:13). This won't be completed in mortality, but we can look forward to that day because "He that keepeth his commandments receiveth truth and light, until he is glorified in truth and knoweth all things" (Doctrine and Covenants 93:28).
When I got an e-mail forward from editor Barry Ginter the other day with the subject line "Carson City Sold," I thought it had to be a joke of some kind.
As Pahrump residents know, water is a precious commodity in their community. And Pahrump is, after all, a Southern Paiute word meaning "water stone." Water is an essential element in politics as well: not the kind you drink, but the kind one fellow carries for another.
Carson City Brewery to host multi-media drum show The Brewery Arts Center and Drumchik Productions present Durga: Goddess of the Drum, performing at the Brewery Arts Center Friday through Sunday. This multi-media production features six dancers and live drum performances, film, sound-tracking, and narration.
I'm glad I got involved in Carson City's battle against methamphetamine two years ago, when it rose to the top of the city's ills, because it's a lot easier to look back on what has been accomplished than to look ahead to the work that has to be done. Unfortunately, the state of Nevada is at the starting point in the meth battle, and it has a big hill to climb.

It looks like Nevada will have two caucuses on Jan. 19, now that the state's Republican Party leaders have come out in support of moving up the Republican event. It's a smart move for Republicans, but the Democrats must be smiling with the realization of how much power they suddenly wield in the Silver State.
We've all heard the story about the couple who divorced because one of them insisted on squeezing the toothpaste tube in the middle. Little things do get under our skin. Others may share my annoyance with loose cards in magazines, inconvenient phone calls, and super packaging of products.
We cannot stress enough the importance of having a will. Just look at what happened when Mohammed didn't leave one: The relatives are still fighting 1,375 years later.

Carson City resident Guy Rocha seemed to hit a nerve this week when he wrote on the Opinion page about his experiences with crime in Carson City and how this is a city where he no longer feels safe. He wrote of having his home robbed by meth addicts while he was asleep and of being confronted in a grocery store by an angry young man.
The Sexual Assault Support Services at Crisis Call Center needs volunteer victim advocates for its 24-hour service to support victims of sexual assault. Training begins April 25. Bilingual advocates are needed, but anyone over the age of 18 can be an advocate. Call 784-8085.
Fascination. We are all held hostage by our fascination with people and things that have no essential relevance to our own lives. Fascination dopes us, binds and mutes us, and clamps our eyes open to fixation. The kind of fascination I reference here is not one of escapism.
I heartily endorse Nevada Supreme Court Justice Jim Hardesty's proposed legislation to deport non-violent criminal aliens in a policy shift that would relieve prison overcrowding and save Silver State taxpayers many millions of dollars per year. I urge state lawmakers to give Hardesty's proposal the careful consideration that it deserves.
Carson City ought to be glad that Victor Bruno has such a passion for boxing, and that he cares so much for the dozens of students he teaches. It gives those young people a sense of belonging, a sense of purpose and a sense of security.
Carson City Educators' Closet is accepting donations The Educators' Closet, 604 W. Musser St., Carson City, is a reuse/recycling program for educators in the Carson City, Douglas and Lyon county school districts. This program accepts items, which would otherwise fill up our landfill. These items are made accessible to teachers for free for use in their classroom.
There was a birthday in our newsroom on Thursday worth noting. Sam Bauman, our entertainment editor, turned 79. For all I know, that might make him the oldest editor in the state, although I've no proof of that. You see, I don't want to dwell on the age too much because, while it's my excuse for writing about him, it's hardly what's most remarkable about the person who shows up faithfully every day to the desk in the northwest corner of the newsroom.
This month I'm trying a version of classic Chinese dish. Mu-shi Jon is a pork preparation, wrapped in pancakes. It is fairly easy to make, although the pancakes can be a bit of a challenge. You can always purchase the pancakes from a Chinese restaurant and then just make your fusion Mu-Shi Jon. Making this at home is very tasty and fun.
The case of Gov. Jim Gibbons' legal defense fund has opened up some new and interesting loopholes in the Nevada campaign finance law.

Dan Bogden never struck me as a betting man. During his more than five years as Nevada's U.S. attorney, Bogden displayed the kind of professional, conservative demeanor people have come to expect from the chief federal prosecutor.
I'm not going to claim to be an expert in the area of parenting. I can't even really claim to know anything about children. But I do know what I'd do if I opened my mail and found out that the Recording Industry Association of America was suing me over my stepdaughter's downloaded music collection. I'd freak out (as would Mr. Tasha). Luckily for music lovers - and parents - everywhere, Debbie Foster, an Oklahoma mother, didn't freak out, and she didn't back down.
Premium bonds are probably one of the most misunderstood types of investment vehicles in the history of fixed-income investing. The thought of paying more than $100 (i.e. $105) for a bond that matures at $100 just doesn't make sense to some investors.
Recently, business reporter Becky Bosshart and I went round and round on her article on "powerful" women and how few (in her opinion) there seem to be in Carson City who have reached the top of their game. Her article lamented those unable to penetrate the "glass ceiling" and named a few locals who seemed to have broken through.
"Oddly enough ..." a feature highlighting weird news from around the world, normally appears on page 2 of the Appeal, but readers may have thought it was continued on the Legislature page on Wednesday.

The days and weeks between Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are for most Christians a special time of year. It is a time to reflect on our service to the Lord. Have we let the things and values of our secular culture come between our concern for self and our service to God and others?
If you think about it, every great culinary culture has a flavor that is central to their cuisines. The Chinese have their soy sauce. For India it's curry. Garlic and basil will have you speaking Italian. And for Mexican food it's "masa", the bread of Latin life.
The defining moment was when my 4-year-old daughter announced at dinner that she wasn't playing with the girls at preschool because "it is more important to have a boyfriend." Up until then I had been ignoring my nagging, "bad" gut-feeling about what she seemed drawn to: lacy clothes, make up, and high heels. She loves the classic princess stories: Cinderella, Snow White, and all the other damsels in distress, and she wore their costumes most days.
The planned closing of State Route 342 at Greiner's Bend has been delayed due to inclement weather forecast for this week. According to the National Weather Service, rain and possibly some snow is expected in the Tuesday and Wednesday in the Virginia City area.

It may be OK that Nevada isn't on the cutting edge when it comes to every new trend in technology, but one place we don't want to fall behind is the tracking and regulation of sex offenders. That's exactly what's behind SB232, which would restrict people convicted of child sex crimes from living within 2,000 feet - just under a half-mile - from schools, school bus stops and day-care facilities.

The image of justice in this country is supposed to be a woman wearing a blindfold and holding a scale, symbolizing fairness and impartiality. Well, there have been some changes made lately to Lady Justice. The blindfold and scale are gone. She's now wearing a "W" T-shirt and her outreached hand is giving a middle-finger salute to us all.

This week, Sheriff Kenny Furlong spoke at the first of what is to be a series of community awareness luncheons at the Carson Nugget. As soon as Kenny sat down to eat, and before he was introduced to speak, the paging system of his radio went off, and did not seem to let up.
"Protests Erupt Amid Bush's Latin America Trip" screamed the headlines during the U.S. president's recent visit to that part of the world, which concluded in Mexico last Tuesday. So what else is new? There's nothing quite so predictable as the news coverage of such VIP visits; you can almost write the headlines in advance.

It didn't take long for the reaction to come from George Gussak's photograph of a bobcat caught in a leghold trap. The picture appeared in the Appeal a week ago on page A3 as a Capital Snap, a feature in which we run submitted photos from readers. They're usually pleasant subjects such as sunsets, pets and landscapes.
Listening to Gov. Jim Gibbons and Lt. Gov. Brian Krolicki, you'd think Democrats were doing something wrong by demanding accountability in the dealings of elected officials. Both have found themselves accused of wrongdoing, and both have pointed to Democrats as blowing the matters out of proportion.

Walking by a tavern in the late evening, seeing smokers clumped outside the door, their shoulders hunched in the cold, puffing furtively, I'm not sure what to think. In the temper of our times, I suppose I should be pitying, maybe even scornful, looking down my nose at the wretches, slave to a demon weed, weak wastrels that they are.
Democrats hate it. Government bureaucrats fear it. Many in the media despise it. Even some Republicans run from it like scalded dogs. "It" is the Taxpayer Protection Pledge which Grover Norquist of Americans for Tax Reform has been championing for over 20 years now.
Top 'o the morning to ya, and to start the day off, an Irish story from Connie Lord: "Paddy O'Malley is sitting in a Dublin pub staring at his drink when a big troublemaking trucker comes in, grabs the drink and swigs it down in one gulp. Poor Paddy starts to cry and the truck driver says, 'Come on, lad, I was just giving ya a hard time. I can't stand to see a man cry, so I'll buy ya another.' 'This is the worst day of me life,' Paddy sobs. 'I canna do anything right. Me boss fired me, me car was stolen and I have no insurance. I grabbed a cab home, but left me wallet in the cab. Then, when I got home, I found me wife in bed wi' the gardener. So, I came to the pub to work up my courage to end me life. Then, to top it all off, you show up and drink the damned poison.'"
If you ever watch a major dog show, you will quickly learn that there are many breeds of dog. Each breed has its own standard. There are many standards, but only one for each breed. The standard is a composite of all the perfect physical attributes of the breed. The specimen which comes closest to its standard is judged Best of Breed. Breeders spend an enormous amount of time and money in perfecting their breed.

There are some new names on Carson City's business landscape following the announcement that Mike Pegram and the Carano family will be partnering to build a casino at the intersection of Highway 395 South and Clear Creek Road. For those who think casinos detract from the capital city's image, this doesn't come as good news. But the reality is that the site, because of the nonrestricted gaming license attached to it, was destined to become a gaming establishment.

T here was a huge story in Carson City this week, but it may not be the one you think. It wasn't the mayor's arrest for driving under the influence on Monday night. While that story was certainly important and justifies the tremendous response it's gotten from readers, the news of most significance to Carson City happened on Tuesday.
"The most fundamental form of human stupidity is forgetting what we were trying to do in the first place." Friedrich Nietzsche Few recent controversies have sparked such passion as all-day kindergarten. Problem is, we're working on the wrong problem and, therefore, will arrive at the wrong solution.
I went to the drug store the other day to pick up two prescriptions. The price tag was nearly $400. I didn't really pay that much. The nice woman behind the counter said the computer ate my insurance information, and she had to enter it again. The final cost was $35.

After Nevada Democrats scheduled presidential preference caucuses for next January, between the Iowa caucuses and the New Hampshire primary, could Silver State Republicans be far behind? No, because last Wednesday they decided to hold county caucuses on Feb. 7, 2008, two days after the Feb. 5 "Super Tuesday" primaries, which will include neighboring California for the first time.
I suppose there are some people who believe the Nevada Appeal's once-in-a-lifetime hosting of the recent Democratic presidential candidates in our Mallory Way facility was our embodiment of a political statement. That's about as close to the truth as President Bush is to being re-elected for a third term. If the Republican party ever decided to mirror the Democrat's monolithic forum of Feb. 28, and asked the Appeal to provide building space accommodations, we would honor them as well.
The following people were booked into the Carson City Jail. All suspects are innocent until proved guilty in court: • A 66-year-old transient was arrested at 7:55 a.m. Friday in the 2000 block of North Carson Street on suspicion of contempt of court. Bail was set at $1,000.
Casinos can blame the calendar for what appears to be a drop in total win for January.
February was an exciting month for me as a grandmother, a Democrat and being semi-retired and moving into our new little home in the desert. I want to congratulate the Dayton Dust Devils Varsity Basketball team and my grandson, Rory Torvik, for making it to the state playoffs in Las Vegas. They were undefeated until their last game. The price of two nights' stay at the Excalibur Hotel $375, lunch for four at Emeril's $150, a hug from your grandson after the big game: "priceless."

So Satan walks into Starbucks because he's just heard the news it's lost its soul, and because he just can't get started in the morning without a Venti cappuccino. He tucks his tail up under his long, black leather "Matrix" coat and runs smack into the morning crush of caffeine junkies and latte lushes. He's at the end of the long line behind a fair number of lawyers, secretaries, judges, teachers and insurance agents, and that tests his notoriously fickle patience.
Without "bottom line" experience, corporate women are praised for their people skills and placed in positions that won't lead them to the corner office.
After careful analysis, Chaves Road bridge makes no sense The Feb. 23 article, "A Bridge to Dayton's Future," highlights one of Dayton's major concerns. At the recent DRAC meeting the attendees were overwhelmingly from south of the Carson River, and were overwhelmingly against a bridge at Chaves Road. In the article, comments from several Dayton residents were given, some who live north of the river. There is an analogy called "The Ham and Egg Breakfast." The chicken is involved in the breakfast but the pig is committed. The folks who live south of the river are committed to the second Dayton bridge and the folks north of the river are involved.
"Full-day kindergarten will deliver immediate, as well as long-term academic and social benefits, especially if we begin slowly, and we start in at-risk schools." - Governor Kenny Guinn, January 20, 2003
Mother-and-daughter baking duo Alyssa Harrison, 23, and Nanci Boehmer, 44, recently had an awakening moment while up late into the night with a two-tiered wedding cake covered in fondant icing and sunset-colored meringue ribbon loops.
