Sincerely," announced Richard Bryan, U.S. Senator; Oscar B Goodman Mayor, Las Vega City Mayor; and Rory Reid, Clark County Chairman.

The following is a part of the article written for Senator Harry Reid being awarded "Outstanding Democrat of the Decade," by Tiffany Chang.

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 former U. S. Senator Richard Bryan, U. S. Congresswoman Shelley Berkley, among others. 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 was the presentation of the Outstanding Democrat of the Decade Award to U.S. Senator Harry Reid by the President of PDCLV, 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 (WBTI).

Harry Reid was born in the mining town of Serchlight, Nevada where he was raised in a small cabin without indoor plumbing. He attended a two-room elementary school. His father was a hard rock miner with an 6th grade education. His mother helped the family make ends meet by taking in laundry.

Serchlight had no high school, so he had to attend Basic High School in Henderson where he met Landra Gould, who became his high-school sweetheart. In 1959 they were married. In 1961, their first child and only daughter Lana was born. Son Rory was born in 1962, and three more brothers followed -
Leif, Josh, and Key. Basic High was also where Reid met a teacher named Mike O'Callaghan who would play many roled in his life: teacher, boxing coach, political mentor, trusted advisor and best friend.

After completing law school, Harry returned to Henderson to serve as City Attorney. In 1968, he was elected to the Nevada Assembly, 1970 Harry was elected Lieutenant Governor. In 1977, he was appointed Chairman of the Nevada Gaming Commission. In 1983, he won the first of two terms in the United States House of Representatives.

He was elected to the Senate in 1986. In 1998, Harry was elected to his third term as US Senator and his colleagues selected him as Assistant Democratic Leader - the second highest post among Democrats in the Senate.

After he won a fourth term in 2004 by a wide margin, he was unanimously elected Senate Democratic Leader. This position, combined with his reputation for integrity and fairness, has given the small state of Nevada a uniquely influential voice in Washington. Harry Reid isn't afraid to speak his mind - but he isn't afraid to listen, either. Like the desert country that formed him, he doesn't cry out for attention. He's soft spoken-but when hw talks, people listen. He has earned the trust of both Democrats and Republicans, and his reputation for integrity and fairness has given the small state of Nevada a powerful voice in Congress.

Boosting the number of tourists coming to Las Vegas from Asia
By Tiffany Chang and Jennifer Robison

..........................
The most recent open house was held by Nevada Clark County Commissioner Lynette McDonald on Thursday, May 12, 2005 at the Harbor Palace restaurant at 4275 Sprint Mountain Road. Dr. Tony Tung-tien Lei, President of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI), was invited by her personally to attend the meeting. Lynette delivered a significant speech on the importance of the main project for the business, commercial, and tourism development in this area of Clark County, Nevada.
.............................
Andrew Lai, a managing partner in Dragon City, said he's met with state and local tourism officials to discuss boosting the number of tourists coming to Las Vegas from Asia.

"We could have 3 (million) to 5 million Chinese tourists coming to Las Vegas in three to five years," Lai said. "More than 50 million Chinese have enough money to come here. China has 1.4 billion people. If just 1 percent of them eventually come here, it would be 14 million visitors."

Hunt-Krygiell said Dragon City would create a significant demand for "services that cater to tourists," so a commercial-tourism designation would "make sense."

"We're going to have more tourism along the (Spring Mountain) corridor because we'll actually have places for them to stay," Hunt-Krygiell said. "It could increase a wider variety of tourism uses."

The Clark County Comprehensive Planning Department is in the midst of a series of open houses and town-hall meetings to gather public comments on land use in the Winchester and Paradise townships.

The unincorporated areas are bordered by Sahara Avenue and Silverado Ranch Boulevard to the north and south, and Decatur and Nellis boulevards to the west and east. Las Vegas' Chinatown, which runs along Spring Mountain Road between Valley View and Decatur boulevards, is at the area's core.

Assembly Concurrent Resolution 25
Presented by Valerie E Weber
Clark County District 5
April 28, 2005

Taiwan and its people hold a special place in my heart.

I was invited like so many (at least 20 over the years) from both of our houses in the Legislature and from the Executive branch to visit Taiwan. In October 2003, I was part of an eight member delegation lead by our colleague from District 41.

Before our plane left for those long hours in the air, we were met at the San Francisco Airport by our hosts from the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in SF who made our arrangements.
Our seven day journey included meeting with high ranking officials in the Executive Yuan including the Ministers of Foreign Affairs and Mainland Affairs. We met with the Vice-President, Mrs Annette Lu (who is Harvard educated). We heard an address by President Chen at the annual Double 10 celebration along with viewing its fabulous pageantry; we even visited the Legislative Yuan and watched a debate on the floor.

On the cultural side, we toured Taipei, Taiwan’s capital city on this miracle green island of 23M citizens; we were treated to a plane trip to Haulien, known for its gorgeous marble and visited the breathtaking Taroko Gorge, one of their many national parks.

Our hosts in Taipei, including Charlyne Chen from the NV Economic Development office located in the Taipai World Trade Center arranged for us to meet with businessmen and women to discuss various issues business issues, to tour a state-of-the-art software park, and to explore the Taipai World Trade Center; it was non stop, action packed and we ate until we couldn’t breathe! The entire trip was first class.

In summary, I am grateful for these new friends I made while visiting Taiwan, Republic of China and their love of democracy, prosperity and peace. Some day I hope to return to see continuation of their economic development and see other beautiful parts of the island including a tour of the gorgeous Penghu Islands on the west side of Taiwan.
I urge my colleagues’ support of this resolution.

Mr Speaker, may I present to our house at this time to receive these resolutions our very special guests, the new incoming Director General, Mr Mark Liao and Consular Officer, Ms Jenny Kuo. Please accept these resolutions in appreciation of our thanks and for a long continuing friendship. Please feel welcomed in our house.

JOHN L. SMITH: Efforts to save wild horses should target what's killing them

We love our wild horses in Nevada. We love them so much, we'll probably put their likeness on a commemorative quarter.

An artist's rendering of the new two-bit piece depicts the horses galloping free. It's a handsome coin.

And now we know why they're running:

To get away from all the people coming out from under every rock to help them.

Nevada is home to almost half the nation's wild horses, you see, and despite the fact almost no person lives on the vast majority of land inside our borders, they are in trouble.

Why they're in trouble is somewhat complex, but the in simplest terms, they're beleaguered because so many people talk about easing their plight and so few people back up their talk with action.

In the name of saving their hides, the wild horses have been rounded up, adopted, herded and fretted over.

They've also been harassed by ATVs, run over by automobiles on unfenced highways, scared off their water holes by idiot campers, tormented by ranchers and shoved aside by development.

We love them, all right. Just not enough to step up and pay to protect them.

On Tuesday morning, our wild horses were praised aplenty and promised once more to be preserved, this time by a gathering of conservation-minded members of Nevada's congressional delegation, officials from the Bureau of Land Management, horse help groups and the Ford Motor Co.

I know what you're thinking: Nothing shouts "Save the Mustangs" like an endorsement from the company famous for its juiced-up muscle car with the bitchin' spoiler.

In exchange for being linked to the official congressional fight to save the wild horses, the people who make the Mustang have promised to provide transportation for 2,000 of the bedraggled beasts.

Hopefully, not in the back of a Mustang. Those back seats have terrible leg room.

Skeptics should be assured Tuesday's gathering wasn't a dog-and-pony show. No, sir.

First, there was no dog.

Second, Democratic Sen. Harry Reid's pandering for the ponies was surely sincere -- even Rush Limbaugh wouldn't rip him for attempting to save wild horses. And Republican Rep. Jon Porter wasn't just in it for the positive ink -- even though a junior congressman from Nevada needs all the sizzle he can get. No, these two equine enthusiasts care deeply about the animals' futures.

Members from both political parties promised to do their best to enact legislation that protects the wild horses.

"People in Nevada, throughout the West and across the country feel so strongly about protecting wild horses," Reid said in a news release. "This effort is an ideal way to combine private and public resources to help care for these animals."

One way we like to prove our deep love and abiding respect for these great creatures is to sell off thousands of acres of their rangeland and build houses, strip malls and neighborhood casinos right up to their water holes and habitat.

Then we love them some more by sending them away in the name of protecting them from the speeding Mustangs, Cadillacs and so forth.

Of late, we've shown our affection by failing to guard against those who would adopt the wild horses and send them to dog food factories and the like. Talk about tough love.

Now Ford has stepped into the photo-op to join forces in the cause.

That's great, but do I spot a trend?

Perhaps this is next: "Nevada's endangered desert tortoises brought to you by Turtle Wax."

And don't think for a minute Ford's competition won't get into the act.

I can see it now: Dodge emerges to "Save the Ram" and Mercury shouts "Save the Cougar."

It's too late to "Save the Firebird," so I guess Pontiac is out of luck.

Here's a little horse sense: Mandate a "no eating, no glue products" policy for the equine adoptees, and then fund the BLM at a level that enables its personnel to police the law.

Short of actually giving the agency the tools -- not just the rules -- with which to succeed, our delegation is just toying with an image many Nevadans hold dear.

Time will tell whether our congressional cowpokes really care, or were just putting on a dog-and-pony show -- but couldn't find a mutt to sit still for the picture.

John L. Smith's column appears Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. E-mail him at Smith@reviewjournal.com or call 383-0295.

Elaine Chao believes deeply in the American dream
By George Bush ...

Elaine Chao believes deeply in the American dream
because she has lived it. Her successful life gives
eloquent testimony to the virtues of hard work and
perseverance and to the unending promise of this great
country. —George W. Bush*1
Strengthened by faith in God and family, we knew in
our hearts that with hard work, perseverance, and the
help of newly found neighbors and friends, we could
indeed achieve the American dream. —Elaine Chao*1
Senators from both parties at the Education, Health,
Labor and Pensions Committee hearing hailed Ms. Chao,
who immigrated from Taiwan when she was 8, as the

During the next several weeks be VERY cautious about opening or launching
any e-mails that refer to the World Trade Center or 9/11 in any way,
regardless of who sent it. PLEASE FORWARD TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY.
FOR THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW, "WTC" STANDS FOR THE WORLD TRADE CENTER.
REALLY DANGEROUS BECAUSE PEOPLE WILL OPEN IT RIGHT AWAY, THINKING ITS A
STORY RELATING TO 9/11!

BIGGGG TROUBLE !!!! DO NOT OPEN "WTC Survivor" It is a virus that will
erase your whole "C" drive.. It will come to you in the form of an E-Mail
from a familiar person. I repeat, a friend sent it to me, but called and
warned me before I opened it. He was not so lucky and now he can't even
start his computer!

Forward this to everyone in your address book. I would rather receive this
25 times than not at all. So, if you receive an email called "WTC
Survivor", do not open it. Delete it right away! This virus removes all
dynamic link libraries (.dell files) from your computer.

PLEASE FORWARD THIS MESSAGE!
