120 years ago Nevada horse raisers in the Pioche and White Pine ranges are complaining of the wild horses, particularly stallions, that are running in that region. It is said the stallions make regular raids on the ranches to run off the horses of the ranch men.

Carson City The following people were booked into the Carson City Jail. All suspects are innocent until proved guilty in court:
The Nevada Appeal reporter got it right when he inferred that the slug- fest at the Tuesday night school board meeting was filled with emotional intrigue. However, he got it wrong when he grossly misreported the facts of the proceedings. He excluded public input from those who tried to shed some reasonable light on the subject of how to hire a new school district superintendent, from within the district, or outside recruitment.
The mayor turned some heads this week when he had the audacity to suggest that Carson City give even more to the V&T Railway project in return for 5 percent of the take of gross profits for the foreseeable future.

Hiring a new Carson City school superintendent was rightly characterized this week by school board member Joe Enge as "the most important thing we do as a board." Nevertheless, after a "rambling plea" by board member John McKenna, the trustees decided to fast-track the promotion of school administrator Richard Stokes without so much as a public interview. "I would like this board to forget about anyone else," declared McKenna.
Carson City The following people were booked into the Carson City Jail. All suspects are innocent until proved guilty in court:
Regarding Mr. Enge's contention that there is something sinister about the selection process for the new superintendent of Carson City Schools; Didn't the voters of Carson City elect the current board to make precisely these kinds of decisions, i.e. to hire a new superintendent if the need arose? And what does the selection protocol for selecting a superintendent of schools in Portland, Ore. have to do with Carson City? Aren't the well educated, informed and hard working members of our school board capable of this task?
During my U.S. Foreign Service career I never heard a defense secretary ask for more money for the State Department in order to solve intractable world problems through diplomacy, but that's exactly what Defense Secretary Robert Gates did late last year when he urged Congress to boost State's relatively meager budget.

The retirement of Carson City School District's superintendent raises a very important issue for our community - the selection process to choose a replacement. Community confidence that the District and Board are truly working in the best interests of students and public hinges on the selection process being open, thoughtful, fair and transparent.

With the hiring of the past two superintendents, the Carson City School District has first sought to fill the position from within. This happened with Mary Pierczyinski and Jim Parry before her. We have done that because we have never been certain of what would be gained by going outside the district.

The conventional wisdom says that Democrat Hillary Clinton "won" last Tuesday's presidential primaries and caucuses, but I'm not so sure about that. Although Arizona Sen.

Sometimes, to find the truest forecast of the long-term fortune of a city the best place to look is in the business community rather than the halls of government. The evidence of that future can be found in the form of expansion plans, hiring and lay-off trends and even community involvement. Businesses don't make such decisions haphazardly; they study the market and assess future trends.
