Sunday
May 11th is Mother's Day.
The Mother's Day holiday, in the United States, celebrates motherhood
generally and the positive contributions of mothers to society. It falls on
the second Sunday of each May. It is the result of a campaign by Anna Marie
Jarvis (1864-1948), who, following the death of her mother on May 9, 1905,
devoted her life to establishing Mother's Day as a national, and later an
international, holiday.
The "Mother's Day" anti-war observances was founded by Julia Ward
Howe in 1872. Click

Strengthening Our Economy
Everybody is feeling the pinch
of our weakening economy. Gas prices, the cost of groceries, and air travel
prices are all spiraling out of control. This hits Nevada’s working families
hard, and it is also having an impact on our state’s economy, which relies so
heavily on tourism. I’ve introduced three pieces of legislation to address
these problems..... |

Every so often in
theater, all the creative elements come into a miraculous alignment that
results in pure magic. After experiencing the brilliantly staged,
fast-paced production, you understand the show's phenomenal success
since it opened its run on Broadway three years ago.......

Awesome is the best word to describe the new production in the
new Jersey Boys Showroom at THE PALAZZO. The performers are absolute perfection
in their portrayal of Frankie Valli and his original group that eventually
became the Four Seasons. The show has wonderful music, comedy, pathos, and is a
wonderful evening of entertainment..... |
