"Slam Dunk"partnership between Silver State High School and City Parks and Recreation

Submitted by Dave Morgan on Tue, 03/09/2010 - 8:49pm

A plan hatched between city parks and Silver State High School appears to be building momentum. The plan seeks to have the city give to the school what it needs (free land) in exchange for the school giving access to the Parks and Recreation what it needs (big new gymnasium and more soccer fields).

The city Parks and Recreation Commission is asking the Board of Supervisors to give Silver State High School ten acres of city land near the southwest corner of Centennial Park and in return the school will build a big new gym and soccer fields that the public will have full access to after hours and on weekends. No money changes hands and both get what they want.

Nugget Project Questions: Who owns the land?

Bob CrowellBob Crowell

One of the first questions I heard raised about the Nugget redevelopment project had to do with who would own the land.

Some people have the false impression that the Carson Nugget is donating the land to the city.

As it has been proposed, the new library, public plaza and other pieces paid for by the city would be sitting on land owned by the foundation created by Nugget President Steve Neighbors, in accordance with the wishes of late owner Mae Adams.

Carson Now: To profit or not to profit

Submitted by Kirk Caraway on Sun, 03/07/2010 - 9:54am

Community news belongs to the community.

This is the concept that led me to develop Carson Now, the idea that for a news organization to truly serve the community, it needed to belong to the community.

Part of this idea comes from my experience of being on the front lines as corporate media cutbacks resulted in communities not being well served in terms of news coverage.

So my idea was to create Carson Now as a nonprofit organization, whose mission was limited to serving the community. Nonprofit media organizations are a fairly new development, with sites like Voice of San Diego and MinnPost leading the way.
