"Post by PAI....." (See our letter to you on 8/24/04 please.)Friday, December 10, 2004 Copyright @ Las Vegas Review-Journal 'Holiday Celebration' The Las Vegas Philharmonic will perform parts of the adventurous 'Hodie' along with lighter fare By KEN WHITE REVIEW-JOURNAL The Las Vegas Philharmonic performs its annual holiday concert this weekend amid Christmas decorations in Artemus Ham Hall at UNLV. The Las Vegas Philharmonic performs its sixth annual holiday concert this weekend in Artemus Ham Hall at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Under the direction of music director Harold Weller, the Philharmonic will perform selections from Ralph Vaughan-Williams' "Hodie," featuring soprano Christine Seitz, baritone Tod Fitzpatrick and tenor Alphonse Anderson. Seasonal music, such as "Music from `Home Alone' " by John Williams and "A Christmas Festival" by Leroy Anderson, will be performed under the direction of the Philharmonic's associate conductor, Richard McGee. Guest artists at the "Holiday Celebration" include the Las Vegas Master Singers, under the direction of Jocelyn Kaye Jensen, and The University Children's Chorale. "Last year we took the venture into slightly more adventurous terrain in the first half of the concert," Weller says. "And it was well received by the audience. So we thought it would be a perfect opportunity to do that again with Vaughan-Williams' `Hodie.' " The orchestra will not perform the entire work, but play a 40-minute selection from it. The show is becoming a popular annual event. "A lot of people say it's their favorite concert of the season," Weller says. All of the guest artists are from the UNLV faculty. Seitz, who is director of the Opera Theatre at UNLV, directed Puccini's "Suor Angelica" and "Gianni Schicchi" and Johann Strauss' "Die Fledermaus" for the university, where she also teaches voice and opera. She also has sung with the Kentucky Opera, Florentine Opera of Milwaukee, Los Angeles Opera, the Seattle Opera and the Manhattan Opera in New York. Fitzpatrick, an assistant professor of music, has been a soloist with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the Virginia Symphony, the Utah Festival Opera Company and the Los Angeles Opera, where he was resident artist. Anderson is associate professor of voice. He has performed with the National Symphony Orchestra, and Poland's Warsaw Symphony and Krakow Symphony. Anderson sings with Opera Las Vegas and is a member of the American Spiritual Ensemble, a group of opera singers from the United States and Canada. The Las Vegas Master Singers, founded in 1993 by Susan L. Johnson, consists of more than 80 singers and musicians -- many of them with music degrees, who have had jobs as teachers, choral directors, organists and pianists -- and a small group of dedicated vocalists. Among the musical genres the group performs are sacred and secular choral music, jazz, folk, cowboy, spirituals, and barbershop. Jensen took over as director of the group in 2002. Local children from grades three through 12 make up the 100-voice University Children's Chorale. The group, founded in 2003, is directed by Jeff Kriske and is a partnership between the Clark County School District, private schools and UNLV. Tickets are $25, $45 and $66. A shuttle bus service will be available from Desert Willow Community Center in Henderson, 2020 W. Horizon Ridge Parkway, and the Starbright Theatre parking lot in Summerlin, 2215 Thomas Ryan Blvd. The buses leave at 6:20 p.m. Saturday and 1 p.m. Sunday. Cost is $7 per person, or $42 for the season. Bus passes cannot be bought at the departure sites, but are available when buying tickets from the UNLV box office. 333333333333 9999999999999999999999 777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777 ***************************************************** | |

"Post by PAI....." (See our letter to you on 8/24/04 please.)Friday, November 26, 2004 Copyright @ Las Vegas Review-Journal Cirque Tops Itself 'Ka,' the most expensive live show in modern history, takes a new direction by telling a story By MIKE WEATHERFORD REVIEW-JOURNAL Lo Ngaching performs during the pageant scene in "Ka," the new epic from Cirque du Soleil at the MGM Grand. A turbulent storm at sea leaves "Ka's" young heroine and her nanny underwater, which is shown through a stage transformation, aerial wires and film projection. Jorg Lemke (background, as Counselor) and Miro (as Counselor's Son) rehearse. Jorg Lemke Chinese Wushu artists perform in the pageant scene. "Ka" performers are hooked into their harnesses. Kleber Berto from Brazil rehearses in the "Ka" training room. Photos by Jeff Scheid. (Check all the photos with LVRJ please.) [You may view them from the section of "Neon" on reviewjournal.com at November 30, 2004.] Seen from directly overhead, two opposing groups of armor-suited warriors charge to meet in the middle. A fierce battle ensues, the warriors using staffs, swords and kung fu. Some have an almost-supernatural power to leap over their enemy. That's how the scene unfolds in Cirque du Soleil's new "Ka." But the audience doesn't see the overhead perspective on film, or reflected in mirrors. They see it because the warriors are suspended in the air, their feet rappelling onto a near-vertical wall, upon which the image of the battlefield is projected. Along with performing their stunt combat, the performers are squeezing control units, hidden in their fists, to move the wires that suspend them from a grid 90 feet above the stage. In part, it's the answer to the question everyone had: How could Cirque top itself and deliver a distinct new product in its fourth show on the Strip? The $165 million "Ka," which begins its first ticketed "preview" shows today at the MGM Grand (the formal opening is in February) marks not only a watershed for Las Vegas entertainment, but perhaps the creation of an all-new entertainment medium: the live movie; theater that uses the language of cinema. "In movies you will see a battlefield from different angles ... We've had the opportunity to give people a live experience about battle that is completely different than what you would get in any other theater," says Lyn Heward, who oversees Cirque's creative content division. "Ka" has the rich, textured atmosphere of grand opera, except that nothing is stagebound, not even the two stages themselves. Scenes flow from one to another, changing perspective. When the nanny of the young protagonist falls overboard during a turbulent storm at sea, you first see the older caretaker (Teuda Bara) swept off the side of the boat that spins and bobs like a cork on the water. Then the stage transforms to an underwater point of view, to show the nanny sinking to the bottom -- again by using aerial wires and film projection -- and the young heroine (Jennifer Haight) plunging in to rescue her. "It does focus the way a spectator can watch an activity. When I go see `O,' I have difficulty choosing what to look at," Heward says. "But this is a little bit different. We are giving you a point of view to look at this from." Moreover, the signature Cirque music, acrobatics and overall aesthetic have been focused into actual storytelling for the first time. "Cirque du Soleil is at the point where it wants to reinvent itself and see how it can push further," says Robert Lepage, the director hired to help Cirque turn that corner. "You have to move on to something different and you have to break something to do that." Lepage -- perhaps best-known in the United States for staging two Peter Gabriel tours -- says he and Cirque founder Guy Laliberté wrestled with questions of, "How can this feel familiar without being redundant? How can this feel like you're walking into a different world, but still with the confidence you have in your guide, which is Cirque du Soleil?" The long road "If your foundations are solid, then you can build it," says "Ka" production manager Stephane Mongeau. The first Cirque production to be storyboarded in advance came together, perhaps not coincidentally, in a relatively compressed time frame. In June 2002, Cirque and MGM Mirage confirmed rumors that dated back to at least mid-2001: "EFX" would close at the end of that year, to be replaced by the new Cirque and, as it turned out, a theater gutted and rebuilt from the ground up. But Lepage had come up with the basic treatment for "Ka" by the end of 2001. And Cirque had dropped a major clue to its new direction with its tribute to special effects in the 2002 Academy Awards broadcast. "What we were trying to do at that time was say to people, `Look, you don't need the magic of film to do "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"-like movements.' You can actually do it in real life, too," Heward says. Cirque knew it wanted to create an epic, and to present it in a suitable theater. For that it turned to Mark Fisher, production designer for the Queen musical "We Will Rock You," currently at Paris Las Vegas, as well as the U2 "PopMart" tour and the Rolling Stones' "Bridges to Babylon" stadium tour. "He was a real sprinter for us," Mongeau says of Fisher. "He had a very quick vision of the entire big picture (and) computer-animated a rendering of the entire theater within a month. Someone like him inspires the others." In lieu of a fixed playing area, the stage design resembles a black void, where the two main stages move in and out of position. One is the "Tommy deck," a platform that slides in and out much like a drawer. The other -- the one hosting the vertical battle -- is the "cliff deck," an 80,000-pound rectangle lifted in and out of place by a 230,000-pound gantry arm. The old theater was gutted and construction of the new one began in July 2003. Cirque took over the 1,951-seat theater in November 2003, but missed its goal of opening last summer, chiefly because of problems with the gantry arm. A big star of the show was the last to join the cast: fire. At first, county fire inspectors told the creators that the theater's lack of a formal proscenium -- and thus, the traditional type of fire curtain --would prohibit pyrotechnical effects. Cirque agreed, but later reopened discussions. Inspectors signed off on the pyro effects Oct. 31. The cinematic feel of the show also introduces a new, home-theaterlike dimension to the theater: Every seat will have its own personal set of speakers. "It is not as if sound always comes out of the seat. It is just another pair of speakers," says sound designer Jonathan Deans. In fact, there are 180 outputs of sound, compared to 60 for "EFX." "We take a sound and shred it into multiple sections," Deans explains. "It will go out and fly around the auditorium shredded, then come back into that (original) sound. Will the audience know that is happening? No. But they will feel something different is happening." Much of the music is recorded, but all sound effects are live. "If a fireball comes up through the stage," Deans explains, "we draw little squares on the camera image (that monitors the stage action). So when the fireball crosses through the squares, it actually triggers different sounds, and places the sounds to different speakers." War and peace "It simplified itself," Lepage says of the story that was code-named "Duality," and takes its name from the Egyptian concept of a spiritual double. "It's difficult to talk about simplicity in this context, but it did." "The story was very ambitious in the beginning, and that is what simplified itself, to where you get a thread more than a story and that thread becomes your emotional guide," he explains. "It's still a Cirque du Soleil show. It's all based on numbers and pretexts to have acrobatics or martial arts. It's the way you string these things together that forms a story line." In this case, it's the story of twins (Haight and sister Sheri) in an ancient Asian society who are separated when enemy archers kidnap one of them. Along the way, their separate journeys include a giant forest and a beach full of giant animal puppets created by Michael Curry, best known for Broadway's "The Lion King." The biggest challenge: "How do you present conflict in a Cirque du Soleil show?" Lepage remembers. "How do you present violence in a nonviolent way? How do you make a ballet out of an attack?" Cirque traveled the world to find swordsmen, archers and the roof-jumping Yamikazis of Paris. "You show these videos in sequence and you went, `Yikes! This is so violent,' " Lepage recalls. Help came from Taiwanese martial arts choreographer Yung Biau Lin and his experience dating back to his childhood with the Chinese Opera, which trains youngsters in gymnastics, acrobatics and martial arts as well as performance skills such as mime and dance. "There are many ways to use the martial arts. Fighting is one, but there are a lot of others," Biau Lin says through an interpreter. "What I am trying to do in this show is look at the whole span of energy and play with that," he says of the rare mix of disciplines: Chinese Wushu -- an umbrella term for a variety of styles -- and Brazilian Capoeira. For all that is new about "Ka," longtime fans of Cirque will hear the sounds of a long-lost friend. René Dupéré, who composed the soundtrack to "Mystere" and most of the Cirque shows before it, returned to the fold at Laliberté's request after a 10-year break. "It has to be a score, like a movie score," Dupéré says. "The music has to tell what's going on, because there's nobody talking." The most distinctive aspect of the score is a 42-voice choir, which sings "invented lyrics" by Dupéré's wife, Elise Velle, who was principal singer for the first year of "Mystere." The choir and orchestral sounds are blended in with the live performance of a seven-piece band, which the audience doesn't see. But, Dupéré says, in places "I had to soften (the music) a bit. It was so dramatic, I couldn't see the action. The music was too big." It's a larger lesson the creators of the most expensive live show in modern history are trying not to forget. One key special effect is created by nothing more than the shadow of a candle. "Human beings make the effects, and not machines," Heward says. "The technology is simply a support to the human performance." 222222222222222 999999999999999999999999 666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666 **************************************************** | |

See map below. Please invite your friends. (*Soon after receiving this e-mail in the morning of Friday, October 1, 2004, Dr. Tony Lei called John to correct the date from September 20 to October 20. And John corrected it soon afterward with thanks.) We are getting closer and closer to the Presidential election and we must do all we can to bring the Kerry/ Edwards campaign to victory. The most important thing we can do is to get Democrats registered and then to the polls to vote. The State of Nevada with its 5 electoral votes doesn¡¯t sound very important but we are. In 2000 we only had 4 electoral votes but if we could have carried the State for Gore he would be President of the United States right now. I have a personal stake in this election as I have the honor of being one of the 5 members of the Electoral College for the Democratic Party and will go to Carson City to cast a vote when Kerry wins. Besides the Presidential race we must also work hard to elect our other Democrats to Congress, the State Senate , Assembly, County Commission and other non Partisan races where there are Democrats against Republicans. To do volunteer work call Democratic headquarters 737-8683 or stop by their new headquarters at 1325 E. Vegas Valley Dr. ( East of Maryland Pkwy). It is imperative that we keep the County Commission Democratic. We must support Tom Collins and David Goldwater in their races, to help Tom call 645-2617, David 796-5644. The Woman¡¯s Democratic Club is having a 50th Golden Anniversary Gala Dinner on Saturday October 9th at Mandalay Bay. Tickets are $125, for more information call 615-4522.

S. Congresswoman Shelley Berkley extends to you this invitation to join in her Campaign Kick-off on July 1, 2004 By Shelley Berkley and GSBPA of WBTI*1 Good morning my friends! It is my integrity and endeavor to devote myself for the people and country of Nevada and the United Stated of America. How nice will it be for more of my friends to join my "Berkley Campaign Kick Off 2004"! I extend to you this invitation (by Berkley for Congress) to join in my Campaign Kick-off for Re-election to the U.S. Congress Thursday July 1st, 2004 at the Club in the Cannery Hotel & Casino 2121 E. Craig Road at Losee BBQ Reception begins at 6:00pm LIVE MUSIC with Doo-Wopp.com $20.04 Donation Per Person Requested(Children under Voting Age Free) Please RSVP by returning enclosed envelope, calling 212-3350 or by e-mail to RSVP@BerkleyforCongree.com.*2 The following is my stetement on Passing of Former President Reagan: Berkley statement on Passing of Former President Reagan June 9, 2004 Mr. Speaker, I rise today to express my sincere condolences to former first lady Nancy Reagan and the entire Reagan family. And I join our Nation in expressing profound sorrow at the loss of our 40th President.*3 Ronald Reagan had a special place in the hearts of Nevadans. Long before he came to the White House, Ronald Reagan in a another life headlined on the Las Vegas Strip as an entertainer in the early 1950s. Later as Governor of California, he worked with his counterpart from Nevada, former U.S. Senator and Governor Paul Laxalt, to address environmental threats to Lake Tahoe. While in the White House, Ronald Reagan would often turn to his old friend from Nevada, Senator Laxalt, who was one of his closest advisers during his time in our Nation's Capital. Ronald Reagan served our Nation with honor and distinction. He will long be remembered for his warm wit, his quiet strength, and ability to inspire through his words and his deeds. His actions as President reshaped the course of the 20th century, and his unbridled optimism helped restore America's faith in itself. Today we also remember Ronald Reagan for his leadership and for his unwavering vision that Americans remain for all a land of hope, promise, and opportunity.*4 It is important to have more "grass-roots support" for people to win. GSBPA would like our friends to share some idea of the following article: Thursday, June 24, 2004 Copyright @ Las Vegas Review-Journal JANE ANN MORRISON: In today's politics, grass-roots effort requires more seed money*5 The definition of "grass-roots support" is changing. Years ago, it meant that a candidate's neighbors, friends and supporters got out and spread the word. Or volunteers from each party called and walked. Then the unions made it more sophisticated, going door to door to their members, urging them to vote for union-friendly candidates. Today you can buy grass-roots support, which is what Las Vegas City Councilman-elect Steve Wolfson did. With his $100,000 war chest, he hired Billy Rogers' Southwest Group to walk door to door, find out the specific issues voters cared about and follow up with letters on those issues. It was part of a coordinated effort with Gary Gray, who handled the political and advertising strategies, including the nine Wolfson mailers. One sign that it worked: After the only candidates' forum for the Ward 2 race, a man explained to me how he had been wavering between Gabriel Lither and Wolfson. Wolfson won his support by coming to his door personally and talking issues with his wife, then soon afterward receiving a letter from the criminal defense attorney about those issues. In addition, Wolfson would follow up with a personal phone call several days later. He spent six to seven hours on the phone toward the end, calling voters. "I asked voters what's important to them and made them feel like I care," he said on the night of the election, before realizing that didn't sound quite right. Then he added, "Because I do care." "It was very personal; it was grass roots for the 21st century," Wolfson consultant Gray said.*6 But it didn't come cheap. The first campaign finance reports showed that Wolfson paid Southwest Group $38,000, and another $43,000 went to Gray & Associates. Those numbers probably will increase in the next report after final bills are paid. But Lither, who was in second place trailing Wolfson by only 245 votes, has his own grass-roots support. The deputy attorney general, who had fought to limit the size of the Red Rock Station resort and most often is described as a neighborhood activist, had backing from walkers from the Culinary union Local 226, foes of the anti-union Station Casinos. These walkers weren't hired by Lither; they were part of the union effort. "This was not David and Goliath," Rogers said after Wolfson was the declared winner and Lither was in second place. "These were evenly matched operations doing everything they could to ID their voters and get them to the polls." Sarah Jaffa, one of the 15 Wolfson walkers from Southwest Group, said she was nervous on Election Day when she overheard a Culinary walker say someone hadn't voted, "but she gets off at 3." The Culinary effort to get out the vote was frightening, Jaffa said, because organizers knew details about potential union voters, such as what hours they worked, which made it easier to find potential voters and urge them to vote. Jaffa called Rogers and said the main competition wasn't from commercial real estate agent Ric Truesdell, who had raised the most money next to Wolfson. It was from Lither, who had reported raising less than $4,000. For Wolfson, it was a long, nerve-wracking evening. "At first, I was encouraged. I had a 10-point lead." But that lead started dipping. He finally won with a 4 percentage-point victory when final results rolled in at 9 p.m. The 6 percentage-point drop as voting progressed showed that the Culinary effort helped, even if it didn't succeed. (This marks the second City Council race in which the union's efforts failed to bring victory. In 2003, the union worked on behalf of Las Vegas Councilman Michael McDonald, who lost to Janet Moncrief. What does this bode for Democratic Assemblyman David Goldwater's union-backed challenge of Clark County Commissioner Lynette Boggs McDonald?) "When I first started this, there were tons of stay-at-home moms, and you could get them to make calls all day," Gray said. "They don't exist anymore because the moms have full-time jobs, just like their husbands." Now you hire your "grass-roots support." If you have enough money. ***Jane Ann Morrison's column appears Monday, Thursday and Saturday.

Stephen Tong led a team to have his "Dr. Stephen Tong USA/Canada Gospel Rally" in Las Vegas on June 21, 2004. He had his speeches for the public and welcomed heartily by overseas Chinese people on Monday and Tuesday. Rev. Tong will continue his final speech on "Wisdom of Life" today at the convention room of China Town. Before came to Las Vega, he had completed his Gospel Rally in Toronto, Canada and Atlanta, U. S. A. on 6/11-13 and 6/18-20, respectively. He will also have the Gospel Rally in New York, Vancouver, and Los Angeles on 6/25-27, 7/2-4, 9/20-22 in 2004, respectively. The Rev. Dr. Stephen Tong is an evangelist and a theology lecturer. He is also the founder of the Stephen Tong Evangelistic Ministeies International(STEMI) and the Reformed Institute of Christianity and the 21th Century. At the age of 17, Rev. Tong gave of himself to the Lord to serve Him in evangelism. To date, his ministry has lasted more than four decades, and he continues to travel widely, preaching for the sake of the name of the Lord, His Word and His church. By the power of the Lord, he has been fighting the good fight, battling with the fallen reason and corrupted souls of men, all in the hope to bring them back to Jesus Christ. Despite his age, his perseverance and tenacity are reasons why we often give thanks to God for him.*1 The following is the first song chosen by Rev. Tong for his Gospel Rally. It is entitled "We're Marching to Zion": 1. Come, we that love the Lord, and Let our joys be known; join in a song with sweet accord, joint in a song with sweet accord and thus surround the throne, and thus surround the throne. 2. Let those refuse to sing, who never knew our Gog; but children of the heav'nly King, but children of the heav'nly King may speak their joys abroad, may speak their joys abroad. 3. Then let our songs abound, and very tear be dry; we're marching thru Immanuel's ground, we're marching thru Immanuel's ground to fairer worlds on high, to fairer worlds on high. We're marching to Zion, beautiful, beautiful, Zion; we're marching upward to Zion, the beautiful city of God.*2 The Music Director of this Gospel Rally is Jahia Ling. He is a very famous music director with performances and grand prizes from many countries all around the world. His name in Chinese is Lin Wong Hja (by Chinese pronounciation). "I'd experience to invite him to peformance on our Gospel Rally at U. S. $20. 000.00 for just one night," said Rev. Tong in his speech on June 21, 2004 in Las Vegas. Jahia is now the Music Director of Copley Symphony Hall in San Diego, U. S. A. Dr. Stephen Tong wrote the book entitled "Wisdom of Life" in Chinese on March 1984.*3 Glory to the God that we are pleased to post the following good words about wisdom from the "Bible": If you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding, and if you look for its as silver and search for it as for hidden treasure, then you willunderstand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God. For the Lord gives wisdom, and from his mouth come knowledge and understanding. ---Proverbs 2:3-6 The fear of the Lord-- that is wisdom, and to shun evil is understanding. ---Job 28:28*4 Jesus said, "Everyone who bears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock." ---Matthew 7:24-25*5 God bless you! Please join Rev. Dr. Stephen Tong of his Gospel Rally at 6:30 p. m. this evening at the convention room on the second floor in China Town of Las Vegas. ------------------------------------------------------ References *1.

You are cordially invited to the following Reception and Fundraiser Party by our Committee: Host The Committee to elect Jerry Tao Select Host Committee Buck and Aurora Wong Ben Kim Carlos Blumberg Nicole Tuttle Javier Trujillo Dr. Tony Lei Invite You to a Reception and Fundraiser for Jerry Tao County Commission Candidate District"C" Thursday, June 17th, 2004 5:30 PM until 7:00 PM At AMLEE Chinese Cuisine 3827 E. Sunset Road, Las Vegas R.S.V.P. Robert Borboa, 860-2417*1 ***Jerry Tao For Clark County Commissioner in District C*2 A Strong And Independent Advocate For The Neighborhoods Runaway growth, escalating crime rates, air pollution, water shortages, and corruption in the halls of government -- these are only some of the challenges that confront us today. We need a County Commissioner with the integrity and independence to fight to protect our neighborhoods, our property values, and our quality of life. One who's free from conflicts-of-interest and can stand up against special interests and fight for what's right. I'm Jerry Tao. I'm not a professional politician. I'm a Deputy District Attorney, and I work to get murderers, rapists and drug dealers out of our neighborhoods and to put them in prison where they belong. As a criminal prosecutor, I fight hard every day to remove predators from our neighborhoods. As your Commissioner, I'll fight just as hard to remove corruption and dishonesty from local government and to restore the idea that democracy belongs to all of us. I've created this site to tell you more about my campaign. I hope you'll give me the opportunity to earn your support in the coming months. Who I Am I am a living example of the American Dream.*3 My parents immigrated to this country with $50 and one suitcase in search of a better life for their children. I attended public schools, worked my way through Cornell University by stocking shelves in a neighborhood supermarket, then graduated near the top of my law school class at the George Washington University. From a strong family of humble origins, I rose to become a practicing lawyer and then a senior aide to U.S. Senator Harry Reid. Today, I'm blessed to serve the people of greater Las Vegas as a Deputy District Attorney, where I prosecute criminal cases ranging from murder and drug dealing to arson, sexual assault and robbery. Every day, I work to make our neighborhoods a little safer and more livable. With your help, I'd like to continue to serve our community as your County Commissioner. Why I'm Running 6,000 new residents move here every month because of all that Las Vegas has to offer - low taxes, affordable housing, warm weather, all wrapped up in one of the liveliest cities on earth. That growth has brought new challenges - traffic jams and urban sprawl, higher crime rates, overcrowded schools, rising electricity and water rates and that brown cloud of pollution that dirties our beautiful blue sky nearly every day. The neighborhoods in our fast-growing District C need a strong and independent advocate to help reclaim their government. The people who live here deserve to be represented by a County Commissioner who speaks for them -- not for self-interested developers with inside connections -- on issues like traffic and growth, neighborhood schools, air and water quality, and public safety. ----------------------------------------------------- References *1.

S. Senate Suspends Regular Business By Office of the Assistant Democratic Leader of the U. S. Senate*1 Senate Suspends Regular Business Out of respect for the memory of President Ronald Reagan, all regular business in the Senate was suspended this week. The Senate will stand in recess on Thursday and Friday. Many Senators delivered tributes to President Reagan. Senator Reid spoke on Tuesday, calling President Reagan "a good neighbor to Nevada."*2 "Nevada and California share a national treasure called Lake Tahoe," said Reid. "In 1969, California Governor Ronald Reagan and Nevada Governor Paul Laxalt reached an historic bi-state compact that created the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency. That began the effort to save Lake Tahoe —a(a)n effort that continues to this day." Reid also recalled how Reagan had scrapped the proposed MX Missile project, which would have put hundreds of square miles of Nevada off limits to citizens. "As I stand here today, I feel honored that I had a chance to work with President Reagan," said Reid. "This is a time to mourn his death(,) but more important, it is a time to appreciate his life. "His amazing journey was the American Dream come true(,) and it helped bring the dream a little closer for all of us." ***Senator Reid meets President Ronald Reagan. Former Senator Howard Baker of Tennessee is next to the late President INSIDER'S CALENDAR The Senate will convene on Monday, June 14 at 1:00 p.m. with a period of Morning Business until 2:00 p.m. At 2:00 p.m. the Senate will resume consideration of S. 2400, the Department of Defense Authorization bill. Any roll call votes ordered will begin at 5:30 p.m. Consideration of the DOD Authorization bill is expected to consume most of the week. Following disposition of the bill, the Senate will begin consideration of the Class Action Reform bill.*3 http://reid.senate.gov Fax: (202) 228-7362 Phone: (202) 224 - 2158 -------------------------------------------------- References *1.
