Warm weather and rising gasoline
prices are great reasons to dust off a bicycle,
tune it up and get pedaling. |

May is National Bike
Month. Riding a bike provides great
exercise, is a fun sport for the whole family
and offers young riders a sense of freedom.
Bicyclists should always ride with traffic and
obey applicable traffic laws, including use of
proper hand signals. Riders should travel in a
straight line and not weave, watch for and avoid
road hazards, and not hand-carry items in a way
that may affect control of the bicycle. Riders
should wear a properly fitted bicycle helmet and
light-colored clothing at all times, and
reflective gear when light conditions are low.
Use of a headlight and taillight are important
when riding at night. Finally, keep bicycle
tires properly filled with air, ensure that
brakes are working properly and see that the
bicycle chain is set tight. Nearly 85 million
adults and children ride bicycles each year in
the U.S., with an estimated one-half million
people bicycling to work each morning. For
children and teenagers, bicycles are a primary
means of transportation. |

Another Winner "Pays it Forward" |

Dear VCO,
As I
prepare for my Mother's Day with my children and grandchildren, I can't help
but feel for the mothers who have a son or daughter in the military. Could
you find a Clark County mother who ONLY has one child and that child is in
the military unable to be home for Mother's Day. Without fanfare or fuss
please give my prize to that mother.

Thank you. Delilah

Weekly Update |
| |
Berkley spoke on the House
floor in favor of legislation to address America’s
mortgage crisis and the housing market slowdown.
The package of bills will aid Nevadans
facing the loss of a home, help families
avoid future foreclosures, and deliver incentives
designed to get empty homes off the market and into the
hands of new owners.

My 1st Term
What I
want to do is take a little time to describe what I hope
to have achieved at the end of my first term as
president. I cannot guarantee I will have achieved these
things, but I am presumptuous enough to think I would be
a good president...... |
