Whose pulling strings?

Gay judges, gay marriage - all the product of communism. When will everyone realize this inherent evil for what it is.

Creating jobs not the government's concern

One of the most important issues facing the country at this time is jobs. We hear from Reid that Sharron Angle says it is not her job as a U.S. senator to create jobs. My question for Reid is how many jobs has he created? Other than his own staff, the reality is only the private sector, the job creators that function for that obscene word, profit, create productive jobs.

Volleyball program offers thanks

The Douglas High School Volleyball Program would like to extend a huge thank-you for the amazing kindness and generosity from our wonderfully terrific sponsors of the 3rd annual Mud Fest Volleyball Tournament.

Thanks Ms. Carol

With the summer coming to an end and school about to start we, being the proud parents of a 5-year-old, who is about to be in kindergarten, are probably more nervous and anxious than she.

Thanks for the support

We would like to take the opportunity to send profound thanks to the individuals who helped us live the beginning of a second dream career with their generous sponsorhips and assistance of our trip to the FINA World Masters Championship in Goteborg, Sweden. It was a moving, memorable, and ultimately successful venture and we are proud to say that it wll only get better from here.

Yours and mine

My candidate believes in freedom. Yours believes in tyranny.

Qualities not on the JP job notice

Arts & Entertainment for Aug. 20

The last of Gardnerville free movies in the park is Disney's "Bolt" at dusk today in Heritage Park, one block east of Highway 395 off Gilman Avenue. Bring a picnic or enjoy food available for sale by vendors.

Kudos Thanks to the community

This past month has been a little more difficult in some ways to provide the generous amounts of food we like to give our clients. As you can see, donations are down somewhat as we wade the doldrums of summer. If you have a garden producing more than you can eat, can, or freeze, please give us a call or just bring it on down to help those in need. We so appreciate your help.
