FATHER'S DAY: King of the Grill

Is it primal Laziness (?) Whatever the reason, men are drawn to cooking outdoors

Today, as Americans celebrate both Father's Day and the official arrival of summer, the odds are good that the valley will be peppered with plumes of smoke rising from backyard barbecues.*2

It's safe to say, most of these burning pits o' charcoal or gas-spewing barbecue jets will be manned, as it were, by men.

Men and open fire. The link is probably as old as both fire and the Y chromosome.

What is it that makes a guy who's all thumbs in the kitchen a self-styled aficionado of slapping steaks around on an outdoor grill?

One school of thought says it's an atavistic instinct that dates back to man's history as hunter-gatherer.

Another says that, well, it's just about the taste of food that's cooked outdoors.

But the truth probably lies, as it often does, somewhere in-between.

First, though, make no mistake that Father's Day is a big one for America's barbecue-loving menfolk.

Father's Day is "a very, very big day for us," says Ed Fisher, manager of Barbeques Galore, 1124 W. Sunset Road, Henderson. "I'll be working my regular days off to help my guys."

Each year, in the days leading up to Father's Day, "you notice the wives buying barbecue grills for husbands and kids coming in to buy (barbecue) tools for dad," Fisher says.

According to the Hearth, Patio & Barbecue Association, about two-thirds of American men serve as their households' grillmeisters, even if the woman of the house is more likely to decide when dinner will be prepared outdoors and choose the menu.

"The wives love it," Fisher says. "It gets them out of the kitchen, and it keeps the kitchen clean."

Fisher figures he has been grilling since the age of 8 or 9.

"My dad was really into grilling," he explains. "As a child, I remember when he had his barbecue going, he had a little tailgate-type barbecue and I'd do some hot dogs on there, trying to imitate dad."

For Fisher, barbecuing takes men "back to the essentials."

The tending of an open fire. The choreography of flipping and turning. The primitive carnivorous instincts ignited by smelling a roasting piece of meat.

There is, Fisher says, a "mystique about barbecuing."

Jeff Special, owner of Bob Taylor's Ranch House, 6250 Rio Vista St., doesn't completely discount any of that. But he has a more simple explanation of why men find backyard grilling so appealing.

"For me, especially owning a steakhouse, it's just the flavor of a grilled steak," he says.

"I even grill shrimp and scallops on the grill. I don't know, grilling is just such a great way to cook and give great flavor."

"And, for me, it's convenient," Special adds. "I'd rather throw a steak on the grill than cook stuff in the kitchen and have to clean up the kitchen."

Granted, laziness and an aversion to cleaning up can be considered male traits, too. But does Special give any credence to that whole primitive playing-with-fire thing?

"I don't see that," he says.

"For me, it's the food and the smell. And the end result is such a great product."

Some might even ascribe a more selfish basis to maledom's love of outdoor cookery. Calor, a liquid propane gas supplier in the United Kingdom, says two-thirds of women questioned in a survey earlier this year believe men take control of the family barbecue out of pure ego: They just like to be the center of attention.

The company's press release quotes a psychologist who opines that modern males' "obsession with controlling the barbecue could stem from a primeval obsession with fire as well as an attempt at regaining power in today's female empowered society."

To which the average American male might say: Huh?

Then, quickly regaining his wits, the average American male might counter that he has so, too, evolved.

Consider, he might say, the fact that newfangled gas-powered grills have become the standard among America's backyard chefs, replacing all that fire-tending business with the simple modern turn of a switch.

According to the Hearth, Patio & Barbecue Association, 69 percent of American grill owners have a propane or natural gas grill, while 47 percent own a charcoal grill.

Fisher happens to be one of the 18 percent of Americans who own both a charcoal and a gas grill. That, he says, is a popular option among barbecuers who value both the flavor of charcoal or wood grills and the convenience of gas.

Women also seem to value the convenience of gas grills, he adds, not to mention such features as side burners that allow the preparation of an entire meal outdoors.

However, says Special -- who also has both a gas and a charcoal grill -- "me, personally, I never used the side burner on those. I just bought a new (gas) grill and didn't even get a side burner."

In his charcoal grill, Special uses mesquite rather than charcoal.

"I'm so used to it in the restaurant," he says, even if, for convenience, "I'll use gas."

American men also have evolved in terms of what to put on the grill. While surveys say hamburgers, steak, hot dogs and chicken breasts remain the most frequently barbecued items, Fisher says his perfect Father's Day cookout menu would consist of "some type of seafood."

"Pretty much everybody can do a steak," he says. "Everybody's gotten to where they can put a chicken on the rotisserie.

"I love doing south of the border cooking on the grill. I love doing the fajitas on the grill, the quesadillas. Or Philly steak on the grill."

"You can do turkey, dressing, pie, pretty much anything you can do in the oven you can do in the grill now," Fisher notes.

Even noncarnivores are, figuratively speaking, embracing the backyard grill.

"I have noticed in the last few years we do have people come in who are hard-core vegans," Fisher says. "We do a lot of grilling of vegetables and different things outside that you can enjoy just as much as steaks."

But even as Southern Nevada's men head out to their grills today for their Father's Day feasts, they may listen for the light tapping of feminine footsteps behind them.

"I've got to say that in the last five years, women have really been coming into the market," Fisher says.

Manufacturers even are -- horrors! -- beginning to cater to the distaff market by creating barbecues with softer edges, Fisher says.

"I know, in some of the European markets and Australian markets, some barbecues actually come in pastel colors," he adds.

It's as if, Fisher jokes in mock indignation, the womenfolk are "taking clubs out of our hands."

So enjoy it while it lasts guys, and try to have a happy, if relatively evolved, Father's Day anyway.*3

GSBPA of WBTI's slogan for business and tourism--- To become more effective online communication in every online venue!
By GSBPA of WBTI*1

*****["Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed."

"He who loves a pure heart and whose speech is gracious will have the king for his friend." --- Proverbs 22 : 11 of the Bible
"All hard work brings a profit." --- Proverbs 14 : 23 of the Bible

On June 11, 2004, Nevada officials opened the first U.S. tourism office in China, hoping to boost the number of foreign visitors to the Silver State. Lorraine Hunt, Lt. Gov. of Nevada, led a delegation of state tourism and hotel representatives to China to celebrate the opening.

"The state hopes to attract five million Chinese tourists a year," said Bruce Bommarito, executive director of the Nevada Commission on Tourism,

He believes that China is the greatest potential market force in the world. "It's mind-boggling. The Chinese tourist is the highest-spending tourist in the world," said Bruce Bommarito.*2

Nevada is the only state in the country to obtain the required certification by the China National Tourism Administration to operate an office.

"Nevada is a popular destination for Chinese tourists. Officials there say over 90% of the 250,000 people who travel to the United States from China stop in Nevada, primarily Las Vegas."*3

Indeed, business achievement is the new yardstick of success in today's society. Therefore, business has become not only the fastest growing major in undergraduate institutions but also in graduate school of famous universities, nationally and internationally. The emphasis of the online communication skills and the quantitative analysis techniques with computers is one of the most important study for the art of success to the business students, professionals, executives, and owners.

In many ways, business school is at the center of this cultural phenomenon. For some, the business school is the passport to the boardroom, the ticket to the top of the corporate ladder. these schools, nationally and internationally, pump out the new generation of business leaders by hundreds of thousands. "They are the pipeline of raw material with which the nation's --- and the world's --- leading business build the future. And MBAs are not limited to the traditional corporate world: From Wall Street to Madison Avenue, from Sand Hill Road to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, today's MBAs lead organizations large and small, in every conceivable industry. They are the executives and entrepreneurs who power the economy."4

"UNLESS YOU'VE BEEN LIVING IN A CAVE, you've seen enormous changes in communications technology over the past two decades. From orbiting satellites routing long distance phone calls to email to undreamed-of growth of the Internet, the age of communicating online, using computers and networks, is upon us all," stated at the first paragraphy of the 'Introduction' of the book, "How to say it online: everything you need to know to master the new language of cyberspac," written by Kim Baker and Sunny Baker.*5

"And what could be better news? To keep in touch, there's nothing faster or cheaper than email. To gain access to information and people, the power of online communication expands your reach from the local to the global. To meet new friends and even romance a potential life partner, online venues provide rich opportunities (if you know the right things to say and the best way to say them). At school, the Internet places volumes of knowledge on ever subject at your fingertips, and at work, computer networks make business communication more efficient than ever." *6

Whether you are in business or in non-profit organization, you need to have a Web site. This seems to be a common wisdom in now- a-days. Think seriously about the needs of your market before you go onto the Web to make more money for business, to develop better non-profit organization, or to contribute to more community service. "It's hard to believe that Fred's Service Station really needs a Web Site to reap new profits. However, for some businesses and professional service firms, the Internet and web to gether offer viable marketing and distribution opportunities. Software companies, online magazines, and email order businesses can do quite well from the Web --- if the owners know how to say the right things on their sites. The Secrets of a Successful Web Site: Just having a site on the Web will do almost nothing to sell your products or services. To promote your Web site, there are three things you must do: (1). You must register your Web site with the best search engines. (2). You should consider using the many free and not free advertising opportunities on the Web. (3) You should search the Web regularly for competitive and related sites, where you can attach a link to your site."*7 To be more successful for your Web site, you need to be favored by the famous search engine services like Yahoo!

"There is no longer any such thing as a purely national economy. The rest of the world is just too big to ignore, either as a market or as a competitor. If business schools do nothing other than to train their students to think internationally, they would have accomplished an important task," said John Young, CEO, Hewlett-Packard.*8

Innovation is the key to success, managers are looking everywhere in the global organization for new ideas. Modern companies would view Information technology (IT) as a major competitive differentiator. Strategic businesses emphazise the ueses of information technology for management. International companies develop their global IT platforms by integrating worldwide hardware, software, and Internet-based network architecture. Commuunication technology, for example the teleconferencing and computer networks, is making it possible for people from subsidiaries around the world to work together on project.

Many business are becoming global companies and moving toward transnational e-business strategies in which they integrate the global business activities of their subsidiaries and headquarters. The international dimemsions of managing global e-business technologies include dealing with cultural, political, and geoeconomic challenges posed by various countries for global marketplace. The e-business technologies are changing the distribution, relatonships, resources, and responsibilities of managers. Information Technology is helping managers of e-business to eliminate layers of amangement, enabling more collaborative forms of management, providing them with significant information technology resources, and confront them with major e-business and e-commerce challenge.

In order to keep the online universe a productive, safe, communicative environment, it is interesting and worth to post the ten commandments for computer ethics. They were created by the Computer Ethics Institute: (1). Thou shalt not use a computer to harm other people. (2). Thou shalt not interfere with other people's computer work. (3). Thou shalt not snoop around in other people's files. (4). Thou shalt not use a computer to steal. (5). Thou shalt not use a computer to bear false witness. (6). Thou shalt not use or copy softwear for which you have not paid. (7). Thou shalt not use other people's computer resources without authorization. (8). Thou shalt not appropriate other people's intellectual output. (9). Thou shalt think about the social consequences of the program you write. (10). Thou shalt use a computer in ways that show consideration and respect.

A sucessful businessperson always know the old rule that says "It's easier to keep an existing customer than to find a new one." In online customer relationships, this rule is just as important. Your goal should not only to get new visitors, but to cultivate your customer base to yield repeat sales, services, and referrals from satisfied purchasers, clients, and patronagers. "Besides a good product or service, there are only three things you need for successful online customer relations: strong communication, common courtesy, and exemplary customer service. Unfortunately, these old-fashioned values are often missing in many companies' online promotional communication." *10

To serve the community with wisdom and effort is one of the creed of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI). The following is a post of the news in Chinese about the coming trip of U. S. Secretary of Labor Elaine Chao to China:

U. S. Secretary of Labor Elaine Chao received her B. A. degree in Economics with straight A's for all her four years at the famous Mount Holyoke College in New England. She obtained her M. B. A. degree from Harvard University in 1979. She also studied at M.I.T., Dartmouth College, and Columbia University.

At the time she was nominated by President Bush as the Secretary of Labor, she told her father that she does not intend to be an "Authoritative Official". She hoped that she could contribute to our society and nation.*13

Secretary Chao has received numerous awards for her professional accomplishments and community service. She is the recipient of 21 honorary doctoral degrees from colleges and universities around the world.

Secretary Chao is married to the Majority Whip of the United States Senate, Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky.

"Elaine L. Chao is the nation's 24th Secretary of Labor, representing a new generation of American leadership. Since her confirmation by the United States Senate on January 29, 2001, she has been dedicated to carrying out the Department of Labor's mission of inspiring and protecting the hardworking people of America. She is respected as an effective and articulate champion of the nation's contemporary workforce, acting quickly to focus the Labor Department on the modern realities of workers' lives." *14

"When President George W. Bush nominated Elaine L. Chao, the first Asian-American woman appointed to a President's cabinet in U.S. history, he described her as an individual with “sstrong executive talent, compassion, and commitment to helping people build better lives."

According to the U. S. Department of Labor, Secretary Elaine Chao's compassionate nature stems from her own background as an immigrant to this country at the age of eight. Her family's experience transitioning to a new country, supported by one another and the kindness of friends and neighbors, taught her that encouragement is the key to fostering independence, and that Americans are naturally compassionate people. This inspired her to dedicate most of her professional life to ensuring that people have the opportunity to pursue lives of dignity and financial independence.

As Director of the Peace Corps, Ms. Elaine Chao was one of the first Americans to personally embrace the people of the former communist bloc into the family of democratic nations, establishing Peace Corps programs in the Baltic nations of Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia and the newly independent states of the former Soviet Union. Later, as President and Chief Executive Officer of United Way of America, she restored public trust and confidence after the organization was tarnished by mismanagement and financial abuse, thus preserving the nation's largest institution of private charitable giving.

The experience Ms. Elaine Chao gained at the United Way helping communities address their local needs prepared her to mobilize the Department of Labor to promote pathways to economic freedom for individuals and families working to achieve the American Dream. She describes her vision for America's workforce as “oone in which everyone can participate where jobs and opportunities are available for those leaving welfare, job training is accessible for those left behind, disability never bars a qualified person from the workplace, and where parents have an easier time balancing the responsibilities of work and home.

"Secretary Chao's previous government career includes serving as the Deputy Secretary at the U.S. Department of Transportation, Chairman of the Federal Maritime Commission, and Deputy Maritime Administrator in the U.S. Department of Transportation. She brings a wealth of business experience to the post, having worked as Vice President of Syndications at BankAmerica Capital Markets Group and a banker with Citicorp. Prior to her nomination as Secretary, she expanded her study of policy as a Distinguished Fellow at The Heritage Foundation, a Washington-based public policy research and educational institute. She was selected as a White House Fellow in 1983," states the Department.*15

Following the inspiration of the past many years of the accomplishment of Ms. Elaine Chao's contribution of humane spirit to our society, we have the persistense of Wou Shien's spirit for education here in America. If a coolie and hard woker like him could dedicate to eduction by offering all his income and life to build a school for children in his village, what should not for us to offer our efforts for our community? *16

"The mission of this School [Graduate School of Business and Public Administration (GSBPA) of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI)] will emphasize the humanitarian orientation of public administration and the social responsibility of business management. Through academic entrepreneurship, we may expect the endeavor of this School for the community service based on humane spirit, led by Chairperson Elaine Chao of WBTI," said Dr. Dina Titus, Adjunct Professor of Administrative Strategies in GSBPA.*17 Nina Titus was born May 23, 1950 in Thomasville, Georgia. She graduated from College of William and Mary with A.B.. She received her M. A. and Ph. D. degrees from University of Georgia and Florida State University, respectively. She is a Senator and Minority Floor Leader of Nevada Senate. Dina is also a professor of Political Science in UNLV.

You must register your Web site with the best search engines. (2). You should consider using the many free and not free advertising opportunities on the Web. (3) You should search the Web regularly for competitive and related sites, where you can attach a link to your site."*7 To be more successful for your Web site, you need to be favored by the famous search engine services like Yahoo! (www.yahoo.com), Aol! (www.aol.com), Google! (www.google.com), Infoseek! (www.infoseek.com), among others.

"There is no longer any such thing as a purely national economy. The rest of the world is just too big to ignore, either as a market or as a competitor. If business schools do nothing other than to train their students to think internationally, they would have accomplished an important task," said John Young, CEO, Hewlett-Packard.*8

Innovation is the key to success, managers are looking everywhere in the global organization for new ideas. Modern companies would view Information technology (IT) as a major competitive differentiator. Strategic businesses emphazise the ueses of information technology for management. International companies develop their global IT platforms by integrating worldwide hardware, software, and Internet-based network architecture. Commuunication technology, for example the teleconferencing and computer networks, is making it possible for people from subsidiaries around the world to work together on project.

Many business are becoming global companies and moving toward transnational e-business strategies in which they integrate the global business activities of their subsidiaries and headquarters. The international dimemsions of managing global e-business technologies include dealing with cultural, political, and geoeconomic challenges posed by various countries for global marketplace. The e-business technologies are changing the distribution, relatonships, resources, and responsibilities of managers. Information Technology is helping managers of e-business to eliminate layers of amangement, enabling more collaborative forms of management, providing them with significant information technology resources, and confront them with major e-business and e-commerce challenge.

In order to keep the online universe a productive, safe, communicative environment, it is interesting and worth to post the ten commandments for computer ethics. They were created by the Computer Ethics Institute: (1). Thou shalt not use a computer to harm other people. (2). Thou shalt not interfere with other people's computer work. (3). Thou shalt not snoop around in other people's files. (4). Thou shalt not use a computer to steal. (5). Thou shalt not use a computer to bear false witness. (6). Thou shalt not use or copy softwear for which you have not paid. (7). Thou shalt not use other people's computer resources without authorization. (8). Thou shalt not appropriate other people's intellectual output. (9). Thou shalt think about the social consequences of the program you write. (10). Thou shalt use a computer in ways that show consideration and respect.

A sucessful businessperson always know the old rule that says "It's easier to keep an existing customer than to find a new one." In online customer relationships, this rule is just as important. Your goal should not only to get new visitors, but to cultivate your customer base to yield repeat sales, services, and referrals from satisfied purchasers, clients, and patronagers. "Besides a good product or service, there are only three things you need for successful online customer relations: strong communication, common courtesy, and exemplary customer service. Unfortunately, these old-fashioned values are often missing in many companies' online promotional communication." *10

U. S. Secretary of Labor Elaine Chao received her B. A. degree in Economics with straight A's for all her four years at the famous Mount Holyoke College in New England. She obtained her M. B. A. degree from Harvard University in 1979. She also studied at M.I.T., Dartmouth College, and Columbia University.

At the time she was nominated by President Bush as the Secretary of Labor, she told her father that she does not intend to be an "Authoritative Official". She hoped that she could contribute to our society and nation.*13

Secretary Chao has received numerous awards for her professional accomplishments and community service. She is the recipient of 21 honorary doctoral degrees from colleges and universities around the world.

Secretary Chao is married to the Majority Whip of the United States Senate, Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky.

"Elaine L. Chao is the nation's 24th Secretary of Labor, representing a new generation of American leadership. Since her confirmation by the United States Senate on January 29, 2001, she has been dedicated to carrying out the Department of Labor's mission of inspiring and protecting the hardworking people of America. She is respected as an effective and articulate champion of the nation's contemporary workforce, acting quickly to focus the Labor Department on the modern realities of workers' lives." *14

"When President George W. Bush nominated Elaine L. Chao, the first Asian-American woman appointed to a President's cabinet in U.S. history, he described her as an individual with “sstrong executive talent, compassion, and commitment to helping people build better lives."

According to the U. S. Department of Labor, Secretary Elaine Chao's compassionate nature stems from her own background as an immigrant to this country at the age of eight. Her family's experience transitioning to a new country, supported by one another and the kindness of friends and neighbors, taught her that encouragement is the key to fostering independence, and that Americans are naturally compassionate people. This inspired her to dedicate most of her professional life to ensuring that people have the opportunity to pursue lives of dignity and financial independence.

As Director of the Peace Corps, Ms. Elaine Chao was one of the first Americans to personally embrace the people of the former communist bloc into the family of democratic nations, establishing Peace Corps programs in the Baltic nations of Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia and the newly independent states of the former Soviet Union. Later, as President and Chief Executive Officer of United Way of America, she restored public trust and confidence after the organization was tarnished by mismanagement and financial abuse, thus preserving the nation's largest institution of private charitable giving.

The experience Ms. Elaine Chao gained at the United Way helping communities address their local needs prepared her to mobilize the Department of Labor to promote pathways to economic freedom for individuals and families working to achieve the American Dream. She describes her vision for America's workforce as “oone in which everyone can participate where jobs and opportunities are available for those leaving welfare, job training is accessible for those left behind, disability never bars a qualified person from the workplace, and where parents have an easier time balancing the responsibilities of work and home.

"Secretary Chao's previous government career includes serving as the Deputy Secretary at the U.S. Department of Transportation, Chairman of the Federal Maritime Commission, and Deputy Maritime Administrator in the U.S. Department of Transportation. She brings a wealth of business experience to the post, having worked as Vice President of Syndications at BankAmerica Capital Markets Group and a banker with Citicorp. Prior to her nomination as Secretary, she expanded her study of policy as a Distinguished Fellow at The Heritage Foundation, a Washington-based public policy research and educational institute. She was selected as a White House Fellow in 1983," states the Department.*15

Following the inspiration of the past many years of the accomplishment of Ms. Elaine Chao's contribution of humane spirit to our society, we have the persistense of Wou Shien's spirit for education here in America. If a coolie and hard woker like him could dedicate to eduction by offering all his income and life to build a school for children in his village, what should not for us to offer our efforts for our community? *16

"Week in Review"

Senate Makes Progress on Defense Authorization - The Senate this week made progress on the Department of Defense budget authorization bill, debating and voting on several amendments. Senators overwhelmingly approved a bipartisan amendment to increase the Army's troop strength by 20,000. On a vote largely along party lines, the Senate defeated a measure that would have rolled back the tax cut for the wealthiest 1 percent of taxpayers to pay for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. A final vote on the DoD authorization is expected next week.

Reid Fights for Disabled Veterans- Senator Reid continued his long battle to end the unfair tax on disabled veterans, which deducts their disability benefits from their earned military retirement pay. The Senate on Friday adopted Reid's amendment to speed up the concurrent receipt of disability benefits and retirement pay for veterans who are 100 percent disabled.

Senate Intel Panel OKs Report- The Senate Intelligence Committee Thursday night unanimously approved a 400-page report on the quality of U.S. intelligence prior to the war in Iraq. But Committee Chairman Pat Roberts (R-Kan) estimated that the CIA has blacked out about half of the panel's work.

AARP Endorses Drug Reimportation- The AARP this week began a lobbying effort to support a bipartisan bill that would allow the reimportation of prescription drugs from Canada. The Medicare bill that President Bush signed last year does not allow reimportation

"INSIDER'S CALENDAR"
The Senate will convene Monday, June 21, at 1:00 p.m., and resume consideration of the Department of Defense Authorization bill. The Senate will continue to process amendments to the bill. Any roll call votes ordered will begin at approximately 5:30 p.m.

When the Senate completes action on the DOD bill, the Senate is expected to begin consideration of the Class Action Reform bill.

"Reid's Words"
Newly released tape recordings prove that Enron was ripping off consumers in Nevada and other states during the Western power crisis. I'm afraid we have a similar situation today with soaring gas prices - big oil companies are reaping record profits, and consumers are getting gouged.*3

Governor Kenny Guinn of Nevada announces his message on "CORRECTIONS MAKES IMPORTANT PROGRESS IN PROGRAMMING, FACILITIES"
By Kenny Guinn*1

CORRECTIONS MAKES IMPORTANT PROGRESS IN PROGRAMMING, FACILITIES

The Nevada Department of Corrections has been working diligently during the course of my administration to bring our state correctional system into line with nationally accepted principles and practices. Research proves that inmates who receive institutional programming while in prison, and guidance and support as they re-enter communities, are less likely to return to prison.*2

On June 16, the legislature's Interim Finance Committee approved two projects that should help further the goal of delivering a responsive and efficient correctional system for our citizens. The first project is the Casa Grande Transitional Housing Center in Las Vegas, which could open as early as June 2005. This facility will be a comprehensive community-based residential facility that will assist offenders in the custody of the Department of Corrections as they re-enter mainstream society. Casa Grande will provide a more cost-effective, program-intensive alternative to the traditional prison environment, and the department is hopeful that this program will lower the number of repeat offenders.

The second project marks a policy change with respect to the Southern Nevada Women's Correctional Facility in North Las Vegas. For seven years, this facility has been operated and run by a private company. As a result of the action taken by Interim Finance Committee, the state Department of Corrections, starting on October 1, will take over operation of the Women's Correctional facility. By doing so, the department of corrections will be able to utilize existing resources within the department to improve institutional programming, the continuity of care, and better prepare female offenders to succeed as they are released into the community.

The risk to public safety is greater when offenders are released from prison without re-entry planning, transitional services, or community support. By investing in Casa Grande and taking over control of the Southern Nevada Women's facility, our state is paving the way for a safer and more cost-effective tomorrow. The State of Nevada is indeed fortunate to have an innovative Department of Corrections, ably led by Director Jackie Crawford and her excellent staff.*3

***About the Author:

Kenny Guinn, 67, 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. He was named Superintendent of Schools in Clark County and served with distinction in that position until 1978.

In his work for the Clark County School District, Guinn was recognized as an effective administrator committed to educational excellence at a time when the county was experiencing exponential student growth. His service to Clark County students was honored when Kenny C. Guinn Junior High School was named for him.

In 1978, Guinn began applying his management skills in business as Administrative Vice President for Nevada Savings and Loan in Las Vegas, which later became PriMerit Bank. At PriMerit, he was appointed as Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Las Vegas-based bank. Soon thereafter, Guinn was recruited to the energy business as the President of Southwest Gas Corporation and eventually became Chairman of the Board of Directors of that utility in 1993.

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.

In addition to his one-year term at UNLV, Guinn served the state in leadership roles on a variety of committees and commissions, including the Clark County Community College Advisory Committee, the UNLV Foundation Board of Trustees, the White House Conference on Children and Youth, among others.

Guinn has also worked in his community in a variety of volunteer roles, ranging from involvement in the Boy Scouts and Pop Warner Football to the United Way of Southern Nevada and the Southern Nevada Independent Youth Athletic Association.

Dr. Kenny Guinn is now the Governor of Nevada, U. S. A. at his second term.
