Everyone has a disability of some kind, but most learn how to cope with or overcome it; however, not everyone with a disability is aware enough to recognize whether or not they even have a physical challenge. These individuals have a severe and profound physical and neurological disability, cannot care for themselves, need full-time assistance, and are some of the kindest human beings in the world, many of whom are students in the Carson City School District and at CHS. Each year, students in the CHS Comprehensive Life Skills program make crafts to sell at the annual CHS Craft Fair and give as gifts.

The Capital City Community will, once again, welcome the holidays with a free concert in the Boldrick Theater in the Carson City Community Center on Sunday, Dec. 8 at 3 p.m.

Dear Editor: A story titled, “Hunger Warriors” in Reno-Tahoe Edibles’ recent issue, stated The Greenhouse Project was built by Karen and Charlie Abowd.

Happy Saturday, Carson City! Are you feeling in the holiday spirit yet? Thanksgiving is right around the corner, and soon after it will be the season of jingle bells, red fur hats, ugly sweaters and snow!

I visited a performance center in Richmond, California last week and came away mightily impressed. How's this for a mission statement:

Cleaner transportation means cleaner air for all Nevadans. Over the past year, Nevada’s share of Volkswagen Settlement funds have been invested in projects that are helping the Silver State drive towards a cleaner, healthier, and more sustainable future.

CANCELED DUE TO WEATHER: How many songs can a choir sing about snow? Quite a few, considering the metaphorical gold mine that is snow! It is the blanket the Earth pulls over herself as she slumbers, hushed and still. It hides the uneven and flawed places of the ground, it ushers in the holiday; we play in it. It is the beginning or the ending of life, depending on the composer.
