On Sept. 8, a debate at Minden's CVIC Hall informed voters whether they should approve a new Douglas County airport ordinance on the November ballot. I say vote no. It needs to be rewritten and returned to the ballot in 2012.
I could not disagree more with the letter written by L. O'Neill. These men have issues that need to be addressed. As a small community we have every right to know who our children are exposed to.

The student art show and reception held on Aug. 27 at Western Nevada College, Minden, was a wonderful way to start the school year. Instructors Mark Tompkins, Darlene Tyrell, Janice Shedd, Marilyn Elligott, Doug Dill and their students exhibited quality art work from classes taken last year. Dean John Kinkella, Delia Bottoms, and Penny Nicely of the Western Nevada College staff provided inspiration to assemble the reception and show. It was especially rewarding to have such community support with nearly one hundred admirers attending and enjoying this first time event. Sorry if you missed it. We hope this can become a yearly event.

I had an uncle who was a police officer and my father was a fireman. Those departments have always fascinated me. Then, too, I wondered how my tax dollars were being spent. I expected to learn something about the safety services to our community.
