"During his speech at Columbia University, [Iranian President Mahmoud] Ahmadinejad said his country 'doesn't have problems with gay people because they don't have homosexuals in Iran.' Which finally explains why Ahmadinejad gets away with wearing a windbreaker from 1983." - Conan O'Brien

120 YEARS AGO There is a superstition among railway workers that train accidents always happen in threes. Last week there was a wreck at Cape Horn Mills, where several cars derailed. Then on Wednesday at Boca an engine was about to couple the caboose on the train when the latter broke loose and came down on the caboose, seriously damaging it. Then on Thursday night at the Summit two trains ran into each other, damaging both considerably.
The following are some of the calls to which deputies responded Wednesday: • Hit-and-run accident at Pratt Avenue and Robinson Street at 8:28 a.m.

120 YEARS AGO There is a family living in Carson Valley that needs looking after by Douglas County authorities. The hired man of the family reports that the children, six in all, are made to sleep on the floor with only a heap of rags thrown over them and a 6-month-old baby so encrusted in filth as to be unrecognizable, not washed since it was born. The ranchers are reported as dirtier than the pigs they raise.
120 YEARS AGO Yesterday the flags of the weather service were flown for the first time from the Capitol dome. Hoisted at 9 a.m. daily, except Sunday, the flags will indicate the weather for the following 24 hours. A white flag means clear weather. A blue flag, means rain or snow.

120 YEARS AGO The bicycle club will visit the race track today to see if it is adapted to racing. (The track was on East Musser Street where the Sheriff's Department is today.) It proposed to have a quarter mile race, one-eight race, a slow race and a race without handles. The slow race is really a better race to show one's ability. The riders go between two given points and the last one to cross the line wins.
120 YEARS AGO Dr. H.J. Smith of San Francisco will be at the St. Charles Hotel on the 6th and 7th.

The magnitude of the immigration crackdown in Northern Nevada on Thursday will be immense even if it proves to be an isolated enforcement action. For the more than 50 people arrested, it will likely mean deportation.

Street Vibrations cruised through town over the weekend like coveys of quail chasing each other, red lights be damned. Maizie was waiting for the light to turn green at the corner of E. Musser and S. Carson streets, when it changed. Just as she was about to cross on the green, two motorcycles sped through to "catch up" with their flock. They were lucky "someone" was paying attention, or they would have been smeared all over the intersection ... Car - 2, Motorcycles - zip. "Coveys" is right ... what birdbrains. Karma is probably waiting around the corner. Splat!

120 YEARS AGO Miss Kate Eddy will make her spiritualistic manifestations in this city at the Opera House. All reports agree that her séance is extraordinary, to a degree remarkable, unexcelled by any séance of the kind before the public. Miss Eddy leaves her audience free to draw its own inference as to the motive force of her manifestations, neither claiming as some do, to have the aid of supernatural powers, nor confessing that she is alone dependent on her own expertness and dexterity. [Mark Twain referred to Spiritualism as the "wild cat religion."]

"I support the troops." I know that our American soldiers are doing a job that takes them into harm's way every day. I know that the military families sacrifice a lot to keep it together when a brother, sister, mother, or father are deployed for months and years.

Young men and women quit their jobs to join the military. We rallied behind our leaders and prepared for the battle to come.
FLY YOUR FLAGS TODAY. It has been six years since al-Qaida sent planes into the World Trade Towers in New York City, the Pentagon, and a field in Pennsylvania (thanks to those who gave their lives by foiling the attempt to fly into the Capitol or the White House).

The successes and failures of this war are well documented, so we now hope for leadership to conquer the radicals and get us back to some kind of normalcy once more.

One of the tests is just a blood draw, but the other is the one best characterized in movies by a doctor snapping on a rubber glove before telling his patient, always in a menacing voice, to bend over.

Janice Ayres has done a lot for this community ... she heads the Retired & Senior Volunteer Program, has held carnivals at Mills Park, was on the railroad commission, and many other things. So, we would like to ask for the help of the community in her latest quest to help a senior here who is desperately in need of repairs on her home, since her home is falling apart. Janice has set up an account with the First National Bank of Nevada, Account #16504831, for Heidi Manfroi. Or call Janice at 687-4680, ext. 2, for more details. If you can donate, work, get supplies, or are a builder who needs a worthwhile project, please contact her. Heidi's plight was in the paper a few weeks ago, and little has been done. Thank you, Carson City.
