The constant barrage of television news shows and talking heads blare gloomy economical forecasts to the American people on a continual basis.
Workers’ 401K retirement accounts have been losing thousands of dollars during the past two months, and the Citigroup announced two days ago it plans to cut 53,000 employees from its global workforce.
Yet, some good news does occur to pull us away from the doom and gloom of a recession.
Fallon’s centennial celebrations are beginning to wind down with several more events planned for December. During the past 10 months, the Fallon Centennial Commission has worked diligently to spotlight the town’s history and importance.
Coinciding with the centennial has been the Big Read, a month-long venture to introduce our residents to reading the novel, “The Maltese Falcon.” Additionally, the high school’s theatrical department presented the stage version.
During the past three months, Fallon had has good news.
This area should also be proud of Steve Johnson, Nevada’s Teacher of the Year. The Churchill County High School chemistry teacher has been shaping young minds since his arrival to the area in 1986. He has shown students how learning a subject such as science can be educational, exciting and fun.
After three years of toiling in the trenches for three professional football teams, former Fallon football player and wrestler Harvey Dahl has found a home in Atlanta. Dahl earned a starting position as right guard for the Falcons and has started every game this season.
Another football player with a future ahead of him is Josh Mauga. Hard to believe that Mauga, a senior on the University of Nevada football team, plays in his final home game of his career on Saturday against Boise State.
Hopefully, he will be able to play in a bowl game after the season, but he has already been tabbed to play in the annual East-West Shrine game in January.
Although he did not win a medal at the Beijing Olympics, Aarik Wilson returned home to the accolades of many county residents. To qualify for the Olympics is a great achievement considering the number of athletes who compete in the various events.
We also have a Fallon Youth Football League team traveling to California this weekend for a regional game, and a flag football team has qualified for the nationals in Florida later this fall. The Fallon Pop Warner Jr. PeeWees placed second at a cheer competition in Reno and paved the way to compete at the regionals in California.
We applaud the accomplishments of those who continually lighten up the day despite the ominous clouds hanging over the valley’s perimeter.
