Thank you for Youth Arts program support

The Pahrump Arts Council (PAC) extends a grateful thank you to our community for its support of our Youth Arts program. The recent one-week residencies of the Missoula Children’s Theatre and Todd Green, instrumentalist, offered opportunities for the youth in Pahrump and their families, to experience singing, dancing, acting and unique music from around the world.

The Missoula Children’s Theatre’s production of “Aladdin,” gave more than 50 students the opportunity to learn a complete musical play in one week and to present it in two “packed house” performances at the Pahrump Valley High School auditorium.

Todd Green presented his unique blend of music and cultural information to hundreds of students in four Pahrump schools with an evening performance for the community.

Special thanks to the Nye County School District, superintendent Dale Norton for his support of the arts; school principals Ken Weaver, Kyle Lindberg, Chris Brockman, Tim Wombaker for allowing time in busy school schedules to support arts activities and custodial support; Nye Communities Coalition executive director, Stacy Smith, and YouthWerks program coordinator Andrew Gonzales and his crew, Nathan Height, Austin McGuire, Jesse Tarver, Corey Remington, Mitchell Robinson, Ryan Martinez; PAC Youth Arts program coordinator Selway Mulkey and Pam Mulkey; Cahlan West Law Office; Linda Kass; Rodney Camacho; Deanna O’Donnell; Pahrump Valley Rotary; Pahrump Events Advisory Board; Nevada Arts Council; National Endowment for the Arts; to our local media outlets for public service announcements, and to the PAC Board of Directors, for recognizing the value of arts education for children and acting upon it to seek and provide financial support.

Feed your kids the arts. They will ask for more.

Loretta Lindell, president

Pahrump Arts Council

Just like towns, our lives are boom and bust, and this holiday season I’m just thankful for the time that we had together.

It seems the narrative is, “if you can afford solar power you must be rich, so you can pay more too.”

Michele Fiore is upset that the taxpayers are no longer paying her not to work as a Pahrump justice of the peace. She has only herself to blame.

The most dangerous lies are the lies we tell ourselves and all the ways we look to justify them.

I am happy that the election campaigning is over, but most of all the absence of political ads from both parties, blatantly lying about their opponents.

As a resident of Pahrump, I have deep concerns about bringing homeless people here with the intent of reintroducing them into society.
