I am writing this letter that has to do with a friend of mine. Her dog was put down because it bit a boy — the dog was fenced in and I know boys — well, they like to tease animals. I had an experience with the kids in my neighborhood. I had goats and[...]

It is with sincerest appreciation that I thank you, each and collectively, for your participation in the 2012 Nye County Republican Convention. As a delegate myself, I know first-hand how difficult the trip to Tonopah became, especially since we couldn’t adjourn until approximately 7:30 p.m. Then we faced the long trip home to Pahrump against[...]

With this ongoing war against women being staged by the GOP, I found out something very interesting. I wonder how many other people who were like me and unaware that the Equal Rights Amendment was never ratified. It takes 38 states to ratify an amendment before it becomes official. To this day, only 35 states[...]

I’m writing this letter in protest of the insurance practices that have taken over in Pahrump. I am a small Durable Medical Equipment (DME) provider inside The Family Pharmacy.

The ladies of Moose Lodge also had a dessert table, with all proceeds going to the Moose Lodge. A check for $100 was sent to the national origination. Special Olympics in Nye County received[...]

I believe that you, just like me, are appalled at the graffiti vandalism that is occurring in our town. The widespread vandalism on Homestead Road between Thousandaire Road and just south of Kellogg Road makes me sick. There appears to be a pattern because certain initials are used at different vandalism sites. I’m sure they[...]

On behalf of the Pahrump Arts Council and the Shadow Mountain Quilters, our thanks go to the people of Pahrump for supporting our 16th Annual Quilt & Fiber Arts Show. This year’s show offered more than ever in the way of events and displays and was well attended by visitors from all the Western states.[...]
