*1. About Governor Kenny Guinn (a concise one by the Editor of this flier):

Kenny Guinn, 70, earned undergraduate and graduate degrees in Physical Education from Fresno State University and later obtained a doctorate in Education from Utah State University in Logan.

In 1994, Guinn was recruited by the University of Nevada Board of Regents to serve as interim president of the University of Nevada-Las Vegas.

Kenny spent his boyhood in the small, Central Valley town of Exeter, California where he met Dema, his wife of 50 years. Kenny Guinn believes in families.

Dr. Kenny C. Guinn is Chairman of the Advisory Board of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI). He is now the Governor of Nevada, U. S. A. at his second term.

"Only 15 percent of a businessperson's success could be attributed to job knowledge and technical skills. An essential element but a small overall contribution. It showed that 85 percent of one's success would be determined by what they call 'ability to deal with people' and 'attitude'," showed the Carnegie Foundation study once. Sensitvity to the needs and desires of others people ultimately leads to success. Sir James Barrie told us that, "Those who bring sunshine to the lives of others cannot keep it from themselves."

We are pleased to quote the following five short but meaningful ones:

***** "Remember that a man's name, to him, the sweetest and most important sound in any language." ---Dale Carnegie
***** He does good to himself/herself who does good to his friend. ---Erasmus
***** Man/woman lives more by affirmation than by bread. ---Victor Hugo
***** "Anyone can be polite to a king, but it takes a gentleman to be polite to a beggar." ---Jim shea
***** "You can handle people more successfully by enlisting their feelings than by convncing their reason." ---Paul P. Parker

It's our pleasure to post a short story and quotation from "Speaker's Source Book" by Glenn Van Ekeren:

Dougls MacArthur is well known, but few know that he was not only a great general but was also very adept at human relations. He had an aide write a report of every visiting dignitary's background and interest. Yhe next time the dignitary returned, Macarthur was able to make the visitor feel important and flattered by all that he remembered about him.

"Politeness is the hallmark of the gentle-man and the gentle-woman. No characteristic will so help one to advance, whether in business or society, as politeness. Competition is so keen today, there is so much standardized merchandise, there are so many places where one's wants can be supplied, that the success or failure of a business can depend on the ability to please customers or clients. Courtesy--another name for politeness--costs nothing, but can gain much both foe an individual and for an organization." ---B. C. Forbes*2

The six most important words in the English language are:
"I admit I made a mistake."
The five most important words: "You did a great job."
The four most important words" "What is your opinion?"
The three most important words:'If you please."
The two most important words: "Thank you."
The single most important word: "We."
The least most impotant word: "I." *3

President Dr. Tony Lei of Washington Business and Technology Institute reminds us that it is valuabe to take time to make the other person feel important, no matter how busy we are.

The desire to persuit knowledge is for everybody. A wise man is always open to and looks for new ideas. One of the most precious human resource is the desire to improve. People can learn much by doing.

We are pleased to quote the following five short but meaningful ones:

***** It may be all right to be content with what you have; never with what you are. ---B. C. Forbes

It's our pleasure to post a short story and quotation from "Speaker's Source Book" by Glenn Van Ekeren. *2

A young, devoted follower of Socrates pleaded with him to share the secret of acquired knowledge. Socrates willingly consented and led the young man to a river. "This is how," Socrates stated as he pushed the young man into the river, and then jumping in himself, he held the young man's head underwater. The young man struggled frantically to free himself, but Socrates held him tight and kept his head submerged.
Finally, after the young man scratched, clawed, and fought with every ounce of his being, he was able to break loose and emerge from the water. Socrates then asked him, "When you thought you were drowning, what one thing did you want most of all?"
Still grasping for breath, the young man exclaimed, "I wanted air!" Socrates smiled and then wisely commented, "When you want knowledge as much as you wanted air, then you will get it!" *3

Usually, change and growth will come at the time when we take a conscious step forward out of the anxiety and into activity. We are not a being to stand still. We are a being in the process of becoming. The more we enable us to become, the more we fulfill our true missions.

"America is a stronger and better nation because of the hard work and the faith and the entrepreneurial spirit of immigrants," said President Bush of the United States of America on Wendesday, January 7, 2004. "Our nation needs an immigration system that serves the American economy and reflets the American dream." *2

"John Ensign and Elaine Chao are two of the most comtemporary heroes who have realized the Ameican Dream which was encouraged for a long time by U. S. Senator Harry Reid. Under the spiritual leadership of them, WBTI has a bright endeavor for its proclamation and creed on the belief that the encouragement and promotion of academic research, community service, and humane spirit will bring our effort for a peaceful and prosperous community," said Christine Hu, Esq. at the time when she was informed of her appointment as an Assistant Fellow of the Public Administration Institution (PAI) by WBTI on December 16, 2003.*3

People are interested in having a little more understanding about the successful story of U. S. Senator John Ensign after they read the above expression by Christine. It is our pleasure to offer our viewers more about it by reprinting the following two articles:

John Ensign honored as Vice Chairman of the Advisory Board of WBTI
By Tiffany Chang

North Las Vegas Justice Court Judge-elect Natalie Tyrell once wrote a letter of appreciation to Dr. Tony Lei from her Office, "....I want to share with you my favorite quote. It is by the great Winston Churchill. It exemplifies the driving force by which I start out each day. He said, 'We all make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.' ...." By the act of love itself, we are enriched. Love in action is service above self. We encourage people to make service a part of our characters and experience the abundant reward that comes from serving others.

U. S. Senator-elect John Ensign's great-grandfather first came to Nevada almost a hundred years ago as a miner and labored in its towns. This respectable man worked hard to provide for his family and taught his children the value of hard work, integrity, and independence. "The significance of life is to inspire and educate the continuous lives of the universe," said Dr. Tony Lei, President of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI). People came to America to seek the American dream. Even though not all of them can realize their American dream, eventually they could teach and help their children accomplish their contributions to our country.

As a born-again Christian, people have been inspired by his sincererity, humbleness, and credibility much more than just his wealthy and handsome appearance now. On October 15, John attended the worship service of the Liberty Baptist Church. He offered a short speech of testifmony. He said that he was very frustrated with his first taste of political failure, when he lost by a mere 428 votes to U. S. Senator Harry Reid. However, he believes God and has surrendered his fate to God. John's faith in God helped him to overcome his frustration and disappointment and enabled him to continue to strive to succeed. The Bible says "...though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that your faith - of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire - may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed (1 Peter 1:6-7)". If a window was closed, God might re-open the window or even open a different door for those who are eager to utilize his or her knowledge and expertise to serve. As all Christians acknowledge - with God, anything is possible.

People believed with John that he said, "I have the passion for the fight and the unshakable belief that together we can build a better Nevada." In the Pastor Teis' meeting Office, John agreed with Dr. Tony Lei, also a born-again Chrisitan, that WBTI would honor him as Advisor and Vice Chairman of its Advisory Board. In the first paragraph of this column on September 15, it is stated that on September 7, U. S. Senate Candidate John Ensign wrote: "Please accept my best wishes as you come together in celebration of the Thai Performaning Arts, Appreciation Day 2000. The importance of sharing culture through art and festivities that bring people together serves to enhance all of us more by enriching our lives with the diversity of people and their customs. I especially would like to extend my appreciation to Dr. Tony T. Lei for his commitment and enthusiastic support of the Thai Performing Arts." John received Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree form the Colorado State University in 1985. He accepted Dr. Tony Lei's invitation as a Guest Speaker to talk about protecting Social Security and Medicare for our Nevadan seniors at a Forum held by Seniors United. He believes that America must honor its words to seniors. His scholastic and gentle appearance has won a lot of applause and respect.

In community service, Dr. Tony Lei's hero is the great servant who has given all for the betterment of others' lives. Let our candles fuel a fire that will fan out an ever-lasting circles. With these circles together we can close our eyes and envision a community that is safe, peaceful, and healthy. The Bible teaches: "...let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth (1 John 3:18)." District (Family) Court Judge-elect Cheryl Moss wrote Dr. Tony Lei, "I am delighted and honored to be appointed as an Associate Fellow of the Public Administration Institution of Washington Business and Technology Institute. Thank you for this opportunity to serve, and I hope to gain more knowledge, insight and awareness about public service and community issues through your prestigious institution. I remain dedicated to helping the community, and I am inspired by your leadership, wisdom and guidance. I am also fortunate to have met you and your wife, Judy, because you are both active and dynamic individuals in the community. Your accomplishments and achievements have demonstrated that taking part in the community does make a difference. Best wishes and thank you again for your unselfish kindness, support and encouragement." Power in politics should have a direction that the power based on knowledge is the power of righteousness. We wish that a pure fountain may prosper and enrich our spendid and golden country through the spirit that knowledge calls, ultimately, for a life of service. "In God we trust. Life is for the purpose to serve our lovely society," Dr. Tony Lei stated.

In Seniors United, we shall have a nice celebrating party for Christmas with good entertainment. We invited heartfeltly all our members and friends to join us a joyful reunion. Wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!*4

John Ensign: a born-again Christian
By Tiffany Chang

It is not very possible for anybody all the way with good luck from the beginning to the end of his or her whole life. One will enevitably face somekind of frustration. The attitude that one holds in facing one's frustration will, nevertheless, decide what would be his or her fate to be followed. If anybody gives up soon after he or she gets a frusration or difficulty, then the following days for his or her life will most probably be in dead end.

John Ensign has been impressived as a handsome, strong, and rich man. He has been long time identified as son of big casino leading figure of Mandalay Bay. John believes the struglling effort to success. He used to remind us of his humble beginnings. His mother was a change girl in Reno. Supporting three children with no help from her ex-husband when she met and married Mike Ensign. She went on to become a person and now she is the wife of famous Chairman of Mandalay Bay Group. John's great-grandfather first came to Nevada almost a hundred years ago as a miner and labored in its towns. This respectable man worked hard to provide for his family and teach his children the value of hard work, integrity, and independence. "The significance of life is to build and educate the continuous lives of the universe," said Dr. Tony Lei, President of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI). People came to here even not being able for all of them to realize their American dream but eventurely they could teach and help their children accomplish their contributions for our country.

John's wife, Darlene, encouraged him into his first political race for Congress. Earned a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from Colorado State University in 1995, his scholarstic and gentle appearance has won lots of applause and respect from knowledgeable ladies in social activities. It was when he was attending veterinarian school that John became a born-again Christian. He was urging by Darlene to become involved in a men's Christian group.

In the first paragraph of this column on September 15, it stated that on September 7, U. S. Senate Candidate John Ensign wrote: "Please accept my best wishes as you come together in celebration of the Thai Performaning Arts, Appreciation Day 2000. The importance of sharing culture through art and festivities that bring people together serves to enhance all of us more by enriching our lives with the diversity of people and their customs. I especially would like to extend my appreciation to Dr. Tony T. Lei for his commitment and enthusiantic support of the Thai Performing Arts." He accepted Dr. Tony Lei's invitation as a Guest Speaker to talk about protecting Social Security and Medicare for our Nevadan seniors at a Forum held by Seniors United. He believes that America must honor its word to seniors.

On October 15, John attended the worship service of the Liberty Baptist Church. He offered a short speech of testifmony. He said that he was so frustrated of his first time to taste political failure, when he lost by a mere 428 votes to U. S. Senator Harry Reid. He believes God. He has surrenderring his fate to God. As a born-again Christian, people has inspired of his sincererity, humbleness, and credibility much more than just of his appearance now. In the Pastor Teis' meeting Office, John agreed with Dr. Tony Lei that WBTI would honor him as Advisor (effective on 10/17) and Vice Chairman (effective on 11/08 when elected as Senator) of its Advisory Board. If a window was closed, God might re-open the window or even open a door for the people who is eager to utilize his or her knowledge and expertise to serve. The matter is that we should believe God. Congretulations! Republican U.S. Senator-elect Honorable John Ensign.

By the act of love itself, we are enriched. Love in action is service above self. Make service a part of our character and experience the abundant reward that comes from serving others. "I am delighted and honored to be appointed as an Associate Fellow of the Public Administration Institution of Washington Business and Technology Institute.

Dreams are powerful reflections of our actual growth potential. We are pleased to quote the following three short but meaningful ones:

***** If you have a dream, give it a chance to happen. ---Richard de Vos
***** Nothing is as real as a dream. ..... ---Tom Clancy
***** YOur dreams can come true. I'm a living proof of it. ..... ---Michael Blake, Author of "Dance with Wolves"

It's our pleasure to post a short essay from "Speaker's Source Book II" by Glenn Van Ekeren:

In 1931, historian and Pulitzer prize winner James Truslow Adams coined the phrase "The American Dream" in a treatise called The Epic of America. Adams described the dream this way: "It is not a dream of moter cars and high wages merely, but a dream of social order in which each man and each woman shall be able to attain the fullest stature of which they are innately capable, and be recognized by others for what they are, regardless of the fortuitous circumstances of birth or position." *6
This familiar phrase has often been invoked by writers, philosophers, and politicians to explain their own convictions. It has become a prevailing justification for individual dreams and pursuits. "There are those who will reply that freedom of man and mind is nothing but a dream," said Archibald MacLeish. "They are right. It is. It is the American Dream."
Ray Kroc believed in the American Dream. While selling paper cupsto restaurants in 1920s, he worked his way up to becoming one of the company's top salespeople. ....The "freedom of man and mind" is not a dream. It produce dreams. ......

David McClelland, the Harvard psychologist, has extensively studied high achievers. He has concluded that successful people possess one common characteristic: they fantasize and dream incessantly about how to achieve their goals. Taking that one step further, James Allen says, "Dreams are the seedlings of reality."
The American Dream is a seedling of reality waiting to be nurtured, fertilized, and harvested by those with the courage to pursue it.*7

"Nothing much happens without a dream. For something really great to happen, it takes a really great dream," said Robert Greenleaf.

Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) has been enriched from U. S. Senator John Ensign as Advisor and Vice Chairman of its Advisory Board since November 8, 2000.*8

It is safe to say that the deepest craving of human nature is the need to feel appreciated. Most of the things we do are prompted by a desire to feel important. Usually, people have a way of becoming what you encourage them to be---not what you nag them to be. A person may not be as good as you tell him he is, but he'll try harder thereafter. Management is nothing more than to motivate others.

We are pleased to quote the following three short but meaningful ones:

***** You never know when a moment and a few sincere words can have an impact on a life. ---Zig Ziglar

***** When someone does something good, applaud! You will make two people happy. ---Samuel Goldwyn

***** People love others not for who they are but for how they make us feel! ---Irwin Federman*2

It's our pleasure to post a short story from "Speaker's Source Book II" by Glenn Van Ekeren:

Compliments are like potato chips. Once you've had one you look for more.
Offering compliments based on a person's character or actions inspires them to perform in such a manner that invites additional praise. People tend to live up to the compliments they receive.
William James said, "All of us, in the glowof feeling we have pleased, want to do more to please."
Combine the truth with the psycholinguistic research that indicates a person's mind takes 48 percent longer to understand a negative statement than a positive one and compliments become a dynamic force in motivating others.
The story is told of a newspaper cartoonist who amused himself one summer day by sending telegrams to twenty acquaintances selected at random. Each message contained only one word, "Congratulations." As far as he knew, not one of them had done anything in particular to be congratulated on. However, each took the message as a matter of fact and wrote him a letter of thanks. Everyone who received the message had done something that they regarded as clever and worthy of congratulations.
The power of praise is limited only by its lack of use. How many people do you know who could benefit from a sincere "congratulations" or "great job" or possibly even "you're the best'? Silent appreciation dosn't mean much. Let others know your positive regards toward them. They'll live up to your compliment.*3

In meeting with the large and growing population of public employees in the states of Asia and Nevada, Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) will open its training programs for the increasing graduate study and research needs of professional public administrators. To emphasize the balance of the practicality and theoraticality of the programs, the Graduate School of Business and Public Administration (GSBPA) of WBTI has supported by many high-ranking officials of Nevada in offering their times, experiences, and knowledge to teach at an honorary or adjunct capacity.*3

"Through the recommendations by our several faculty members including District Judge Valorie Vega and Southern Nevada Sheriff Bill Young, Ms. Jackie Glass has been appointed Adjunct Associate Professor of the Graduate School of Business and Public Administration (GSBPA) of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) on March 9, 2004," announced Dr. John Wang, Spokesman of WBTI, on March 10, 2004 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Following the spirit of entrepreneurship, Jackie Glass has always been willing to take a challenge head on. Now she is on her challenge!

While still in high school, Jackie worked as a waitress to help buy her school supplies and school clothes. When she decided to attend the University of Georgia, she continued as a waitress and worked her way through college. She took on extracurricular assignments, and earned a degree in journalism.

Her journalism career brought Jackie to Las Vegas in 1978 where she began as a radio news reporter. She moved quickly to television and served as both a morning anchor and crime beat reporter. As she followed the course of the trials she covered, she watched attorneys in action, and knew she could do as well. A new challenge lay before her.

Once again, she worked her way through college, graduating from the University of San Diego School of Law. In 1984, Jackie passed the Nevada Bar exam before graduation, received her Juris Doctor Degree,*4 was admitted to the Nevada Bar, and married her husband, Steve Wolfson.

With her husband, Jackie worked to build their successful law practice while helping at her daughters' school, chaperoning field trips to Washington, DC, supporting the Girl Scouts and projects such as Nevada Reading Week.

On the professional side, Jackie has lectured at the UNLV Boyd School of Law, spoke on law topics at local high schools, and appeared on the KLVX show, "Law for the Layman". She has devoted years as a hearing master to juvenile, domestic and paternity issues as well as criminal law.

She credits her seventeen years of legal experience and her work as a journalist on the crime beat for giving her an insight for the law, the role of the judiciary, the needs of victims, and for ways to make our system work better.

She served as a member of the Las Vegas Housing Authority Board and spent six years as a Board Member of the Senior Citizens Law Project.

As a District Court Judge of Department 5, Nevada, Jackie Glass is part of a new generation involved with her family, her profession and her community to make a difference for all of us here in our Silver State.

People with integrity live with clear consciences. "To do what is right and just is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice," stated in the Proverbs 21:3 of Bible.*5

"I agree with Judge Valorie Vega's idea to be honored as a Fellow of the Public Administration Institution (PAI) of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI). She wrote: 'It will undoubtedly provide me with avenuess for exploring improvements in public services to which I am most dedicated.' I'm glad also to share the similar position as its faculty member--- Obligatory Legal Counselor of Pan Pacific and Asian American Forum (PPAAF).

"It's significant. Dr. Tony Lei told me that for community service --- that based on 'love in action is service above self' --- the abundanct reward from one's humune love, spiritual excellence, and professionalism of expertise are far more greater than solely his or her title," said Jackie Glass, Esq. on April 18, 2002. Jackie is now a famous District Judge of Nevada.*6

On March 9, 2004 at the Event and Dinner Party held by the Asian American Community for Ms. Ellen Knowlton, Special Agent in Charge, FBI, as the Speaker; Jackie was very pleased to learn from Dr. Tony Lei, President of WBTI, that she was challenged with a teaching professionalism in the Graduate School of Business and Public Administration of WBTI for our community at an adjucnt capacity.*7

"As a bridge between the business and university, the integrity of community service and academic research of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) will help Nevada go advance for the cooperation and development in education, business, and culture among international countries. As an Adjunct Associate Professor of the Graduate School of Business and Public Administration (GSBPA) of WBTI, it's my pleasure to extend my knowledge, experience, and professionalism in public service for community and education at the adjunct capacity," *8 said Jackie Glass, District Judge of Nevada, at the event and dinner party by Unity Council of Nevada in Lindo Michoacan Mexican Restaurant on April 28, 2004 in Las Vegas.*9

MINORITY POST: Reid elected Senate leader
Nevadan promoted on unanimous vote of Democratic caucus*1
By STEVE TETREAULT
STEPHENS WASHINGTON BUREAU

Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev., speaks Tuesday to reporters in the Capitol after winning election by his Democratic peers as the new Senate minority leader for the next session of Congress.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS (Please check the photo with LVRJ.)

WASHINGTON -- Harry Reid of Nevada was elected Senate Democratic leader on Tuesday, achieving a new level of power he said he will use to cooperate with President Bush or fight him if necessary.

Reid, who had been the party's second-in-command in the Senate, was promoted by a unanimous vote of the Democratic caucus to head a new leadership team in the congressional term that begins in January.

With his election, Reid solidified his standing as the most influential Nevadan ever to serve in Congress, said Guy Rocha, Nevada state archivist.

"It's a slam dunk now," Rocha said. "Before, people may have argued for Patrick McCarran, but here all debate ends."

McCarran, a Democrat for whom the Las Vegas airport is named, served as senator from 1933 to 1954, wrote a series of significant bills and was regarded as one of the major anti-communist crusaders of the era.

In an interview, the 64-year-old Reid said Nevadans should see little difference in how he represents them as the top Democrat in the Senate.

"I have different responsibilities than I had a couple hours ago, but I still look to Nevada as my first line of responsibility," he said. "I have ongoing projects I am going to work on. I think people in Nevada will recognize I have ability to help more than I have in the past."

Reid inherits leadership of a Senate caucus that contains 44 Democrats, the fewest since 1931. Democrats' influence is boosted somewhat by Sen. Jim Jeffords, an independent from Vermont who usually votes with them.

Reid signalled a willingness to work with Bush, but said Democrats will not be pushed around by Republicans who may interpret Bush's re-election and GOP gains in Congress as a broad endorsement of their policies.

`He said four years ago he wanted to be a uniter," Reid said of Bush. "It didn't work well the first four years. We hope it works the second four years."

"I would rather dance than fight," the former boxer told reporters. "But I can fight."

While they lost 19 of 34 Senate elections on Nov. 2, Democratic Senate candidates won 3.5 million more votes than Republicans nationwide, Reid said. The party also made pick ups among state legislatures, he said.

"I think the majority should be careful about throwing words around like `mandate,' " Reid said. "President Bush won the election but it was certainly no mandate. If one state had turned around, Kerry would be president."

Reid had been a constant on the Senate floor for six years, managing legislation and floor proceedings as Democratic whip. He told reporters he is not an "untested vessel."

After he was elected minority leader, he reintroduced himself at a news conference that dwarfed most of those he had sponsored in the past. He described his hardscrabble upbringing in tiny Searchlight, and opportunities he was given to achieve an education and a career as an attorney.

"The reason I am telling this is if I can make it in America, anyone can," he said. Democrats, he said, "want people to have the same opportunities that Harry Reid had."

Democrats chose new leaders in the historic Old Senate Chamber, where senators met from 1810 until 1859 and debated slavery, western expansion and other issues confronting the young nation.

Reid was nominated by a mentor, 46-year Senate veteran Robert Byrd of West Virginia. In a move symbolizing outreach to party conservatives and the rural Midwest, Reid also asked Sen. Ben Nelson of Nebraska to speak on his behalf.

Sen. Richard Durbin of Illinois was elected to Reid's old post of Democratic whip. Sen. Debbie Stabenow of Michigan was elected conference secretary, the No. 3 position. Both selections were unanimous.

While the Democrats met behind closed doors for two hours, voting was completed rather quickly. Senators said they spent the rest of the time discussing policy and the elections, with little handwringing over the party's net loss of four Senate seats following defeats in the South.

The Democrats' presidential nominee, Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts, was there and was given several standing ovations, Reid said. The elections were attended by senators of the incoming Congress, so Tom Daschle of South Dakota, the outgoing leader who was defeated, was not present.

While Reid will not take over officially until January, he is playing a major role in managing the lame duck session that convened on Tuesday, while planning his transition.

Reid will move his leadership staff into Daschle's suite on the second floor of the Capitol, steps from the Senate floor. The new offices are about a dozen rooms larger than Reid's current digs on the third floor of the Capitol. Reid will continue to maintain a separate office for Nevada aides.

As leader, Reid will control an $8 million budget that funds the Democratic apparatus, including experts who advise senators on legislation, policy and floor procedure, communications aides and certain officers who report to the Senate sergeant-at-arms.

As one of the few Democrats in Washington who is hiring, Reid has received dozens of resumes from staff members for departing senators, plus aides who worked on Kerry's campaign.

A Reid staff of roughly 50 people will expand, but aides said it was not yet known how many more will be hired to support his leadership duties.

Reid said he has hired two Daschle advisers, policy aide Randy DeValk and Nancy Erickson, who was the South Dakotan's deputy chief of staff. He also has hired Kevin Kayes, formerly Commerce Committee staff director for retiring Sen. Ernest Hollings of South Carolina.

Reid plans to strengthen the Democrats' communications by establishing a "rapid response" team to promote the party message and respond to critics, according to chief of staff Susan McCue.

Reid also is expected to control a number of patronage jobs within the Senate bureaucracy that figure to be offered to supporters in the state.

"Come January you probably will see more Nevadans around here," an aide remarked.

U. S. Senator Harry Reid fights for our people and country
By GSBPA of WBTI*2

Assistant Democratic Leader of the U. S. Senate and Senator Harry Reid has made a difference for Nevada. From humble beginnings in the tiny town of Searchlight, Nevada to the second highest ranking Democrat in the United States Senate, he has distinguished himself as a fighter for Nevadans and all American families in the corridors of power in Washington, D. C..

"Recognizing his trajectory in public service, the Las Vegas Sun said Reid 'has gone from underdog to Senate's top dog.' Parade Magazine, the nation's largest weekly identified Senator Reid as one of a handful of leaders in Washington who possess 'integrity and guts.'*3

"Since Nevadans elected him to the Senate in 1986, Harry Reid has developed a reputation as a consensus builder and an accomplished legislator. Even his Republican colleagues praise his reasoned, balanced approach. After Nevadans sent Harry Reid to the Senate for a third term in 1998, he was elected by his colleagues to serve as the Assistant Democratic Leader, also known as the Democratic 'Whip.' Reid provides valuable leadership to the U.S. Senate by guiding legislation through the Senate and securing the votes to pass key measures. The respected Washington publication National Journal observed that 'Senator Reid has quietly elevated a long dormant post.'

"In fact, Harry Reid has earned the trust of both Democrats and Republicans, and his reputation for integrity and fairness has given the small state of Nevada a strong voice in Congress."*4

Since entering the Senate in 1986, Senator Reid has assembled an impressive legislative and leadership record for the people of Nevada. Senator Reid has consistently fought for the rights and interests of children, families, and workers. In education, he has worked to reverse Nevada's school dropout rate by sponsoring legislation to establish a national program for dropout prevention. He has fought to bring much-needed funding for construction of schools and for hiring more qualified teachers in Nevada. In health care, Harry Reid has fought for the Patient's Bill of Rights as well as increased funding for cancer research, suicide prevention, and mental health initiatives. Harry has also fought for issues concerning senior citizens, including prescription drug coverage, long term care, and Social Security.

"Working hard to protect Nevada's environment, Senator Reid has established programs to preserve clean air and water, especially in Nevada's treasured Lake Tahoe. In addition, Senator Reid has fought vigorously and successfully to keep nuclear waste out of Nevada. Citizens of Nevada benefit each day from the transportation funds Senator Reid fought to provide. Taken together, the work and achievements of Senator Reid have changed the face of Nevada for the better."*5

On October 22, 2000, U. S. Senator Harry Reid received the "Outstanding Democrat of the Decade" 1990's Award from the Paradise Democratic Club of Las Vegas (PDCLV) at the Skyview Room of the Bally's Casino and Hotel, Las Vegas. In the Program, the National Anthem was sung by Rose McKinny James. The Event was chaired by the President of PDCLV, John Ponticello. He introduced participants of all the elected officers, leaders of unions, persons campaigned for public service, among others. The Keynote Speaker was Senator Harry Reid. Special Speakers were U. S. Senator Richard Bryan, U. S. Congresswoman Shelley Berkley, and U. S. Senate Candidate Ed Bernstein. Comments were offered by Rory Reid, Nevada State Democratic Party Chairman, and Danny Thompson, Secretary/Treasurer of Nevada State AFL-CIO.

The heightlight of the Event and Party was the presentation of the Outstanding Democrat of the Decade Award to U.S. Senator Harry Reid by the President of Paradise Democratic Club of Las Vegas, John Ponticello. U. S. Senator Reid graduated from Utah State University in 1961. He received Juris Doctor degree from George Washington University. On April 10, 1998, he was honored as Advisor and Vice Chairman of the Advisory Board of Washington Business and Technology Institute.*6

"Asian Pacific American have made profound contributions to American life, including the arts, economy, education, science, technology, politics, and sport. This community was here to help build trascontinental railroad, to serve in the Civil War, and to develop the latest Internet technology. I'm pleased to assure all you leaders of the community here today that I'll continue working to preserve and advance the heritage and value of Asian Americans. I'll put my effort to reach out and address issues of importance to the Asian American community, including the economy, education, safety, racial profiling, and hate crime, and immigration, among others. I'd like also to show my appreciation of all your accomplishments and contributions to the American way of life and your oustanding participation in the political, business , and educational processes. It's my pleasure to accept the honor as Professor of Administrative Strategies of the Graduate School of Business and Public Administration of Washington Business and Technology Institute," said Harry Reid, U. S. Senator and Assistant Democratic Leader of the Senate at Asian American Leaders Tea with United States Senator Harry Reid on May 31, 2003 at Korean Garden B. B. Q. House in Las Vegas.*7

Over the past few years, I have had the honor of hosting the annual Juvenile Justice Summit, which provides training and continuing education to those hard-working people who constitute Nevada抯 growing juvenile justice network of professionals. It gives me particular satisfaction to announce that the emphasis of the 2006 Summit, which will take place September 26 and 27, will be assisting youthful offenders in making successful transitions from correctional care back to their homes and communities.

As Governor, I have visited many correctional facilities located in Nevada, including the Caliente Youth Center in Lincoln County. I have always been impressed with the high level of commitment and caring that the staff at various state and county juvenile justice agencies demonstrate. These hard-working, dedicated individuals give much of themselves so that young people who have struggled with poor decisions in their past can learn the rehabilitative skills necessary to become productive members of society. Our juvenile justice workers, from direct care staff at correctional facilities to probation officers and social workers in our communities, work day and night to provide the necessary balance between rehabilitative services to youthful offenders and community protection.

The transition from a highly structured correctional treatment center into a youthful offender抯 community and home is a challenging proposition, both for the juvenile as well as those professionals who are assisting in the process. The 2006 Juvenile Justice Summit will provide training in developing and refining the special skills necessary to promote successful outcomes during this critical period.

Please join me in congratulating these individuals for their outstanding efforts and in wishing them all an informative and successful Juvenile Justice Summit.

*1. About Governor Kenny Guinn (a concise one by the Editor of this flier):

Kenny Guinn, 70, earned undergraduate and graduate degrees in Physical Education from Fresno State University and later obtained a doctorate in Education from Utah State University in Logan.

In 1994, Guinn was recruited by the University of Nevada Board of Regents to serve as interim president of the University of Nevada-Las Vegas.

Kenny spent his boyhood in the small, Central Valley town of Exeter, California where he met Dema, his wife of 50 years. Kenny Guinn believes in families.

Dr. Kenny C. Guinn is Chairman of the Advisory Board of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI). He is now the Governor of Nevada, U. S. A. at his second term.

Sometimes we may find that the grass looks greener on the other side of the fence, it may be that they take better care of it there. People need to work. People will never know how long it takes you to do something, but they only know how well it is done. There are three things to make an individual happy in their work: They must be fit for it, they must be sometime praised, and they must have a sense of success in it. Jonn W. Gardner pointed out that, "The best-kept secret in America today is that people would rather work hard for something they believe in than enjoy a pampered idleness." God gives us the nuts, but he does not crack them. As we like our work, we do not feel that we are working during the long hours. It fascinates us, and we can sit and look at it for hours.

We are pleased to quote the following five short but meaningful ones:

***** Opportunities are usually disguised as hard work, so most people don't recognize it. ---Ann Landers
***** Hard work without talent is a shame, but talent without hard work is a tragedy. ---Robert Half
***** Hard work means prosperity; only a fool idles away his time. ---Proverbs 12:11
***** I am a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it. ---Stephen Leacock
***** Ask God's blessing on your work, but do not also ask Him to do it. ---Waggerl

It's our pleasure to post a short story and quotation from "Speaker's Source Book" by Glenn Van Ekeren:

A carpenter whose brother was a famous musician was visiting with the foreman of the construction company where he worked. "You must feel honored to have a brother who is known around the world for his musical abilities," the foreman commented. And then, failing to recgnize that he might have hurt his worker's feeling, he continued, "Of course, not everyone in the same family can enjoy an equal amount of talent." *2

"You're right," the carpenter replied. "My brother donsn't know the first thing about building a home. It's fortunate he can afford to hire others to build a house for him."

B. C. Forbes suggested that "whether we find pleasure in our work or whether we find it a bore depends entirely upon our mental attitude towards it, not upon the task itself."

The same can be said of finding importance in what we do. It all depends on how we choose to see it. Maybe that is why Booker T. Washington, in 'Up From Slavery', advised his readers that "there is as much dignity in tilling a field as in writing a poem." *3
