• Nevada Day Treasure Hunt: today’s clue at http://www.nvdaytreasurehunt.com/

More than $300,000 has been awarded to the Nevada Humane Society (NHS) by Maddie’s Fund, a nationally known family foundation based in Pleasanton, California, to expand life-saving efforts at the brand-new Carson City Animal Shelter.

Carson City Ward 2 Supervisor Brad Bonkowski will hold his monthly “Breakfast with Brad” on Friday, October 7, from 7:00 to 8:00 am at the Cracker Box restaurant. All Carson City residents are invited to attend.

“There are so many good things going on in Carson City right now. The Animal Shelter is finally completed and animals have taken up residence, the paver sidewalks are being installed on Carson Street and fall is in the air!” Brad said, adding “I am looking forward to Nevada Day and to Election Day. I encourage anyone with questions, concerns or ideas to come down and talk”.

No need to worry about lunch we offer hot dogs at our snack bar and sometimes the wonderful volunteers will bring a yummy homemade soup.

It’s hard to believe that nearly two years ago we began a partnership with Carson City, as the city selected Nevada Humane Society to lead Carson City Animal Services. Our tasks would not only include pet adoptions and animal sheltering, but the animal regulation services too.

Construction workers are putting the finishing touches on the new $4 million Carson City Animal Shelter in preparation for the facility's Oct. 8 grand opening.

Happy Tuesday, Carson City. Parks and Rec’s Easy Walk is a special trip to Spooner Lake where you’ll get to enjoy the crisp autumn morning in a beautiful setting.

It isn't every day you find a dog willing to do something for a cat.

But that's exactly what happened Sunday morning at Riverview Park off East Fifth Street in Carson City when dozens of canines and their humans participated in CASI's annual 5K9 Run/Walk.

Happy Tuesday, Carson City. The United States Air Force Band of the Golden West has returned and will be at the Community Center tonight, if you were quick enough to grab free tickets from the Chamber of Commerce.

SATURDAY:

• Hot August Nights
• Annual Rummage Sale at Saint Gall’s Catholic Church: 1343 Centerville Lane, Gardnerville (7am-3pm)

Construction of the new Carson City Animal Services shelter at the corner of Airport Road and Butti Way is progressing, said Carson City Public Works Director Darren Shulz, with completion scheduled for early October.

In response to Mr. Waclo's letter dated July 19, 2016, his statements regarding my positions are not accurate.

I opposed the 1/8th cent sales tax because voters were denied their right to vote. This tax includes funding for narrowing the downtown street and is similar to a project previously voted against by the citizens. Based upon past and current input received, nothing has changed.

The underground utility work would have been required and the funds were available, even if the narrowing of Carson Street had NOT occurred. That is a fact.

On July 9, Carson Animal Services Initiative, also known as CASI, had the pleasure of hosting our annual Bark, Whine and Dine fundraiser at Fuji Park, and because of our incredible community, it was once again a huge success.

I am quite fond of Tuesdays. For a weekday, they usually have some great offerings. Today's Easy Walk with the Parks and Recreation Department takes you along the Moffat Open Space on the east side of town. The Children's Museum of Northern Nevada offers 'Books and Brags', essentially a story with craft time. Have a hot time with the fire-dancers of Controlled Burn: they meet at A to Zen on Tuesdays and welcome newcomers.

Cafe at Adele’s in Carson City presented the Nevada Humane Society a check for $2,000 Friday from the May 26 Bone Appetit fundraiser at the restaurant.

Catmandu has closed the gates and is not taking in any more cats or kittens at this time. Unless Carson City and the surrounding communities open their wallets and start providing support, the facility will likely not re-open.

A new exhibit has hit town. Over the weekend, the Nevada Artists Association welcomed new works for its Imagination show. Take a moment and explore all the downtown area galleries: the Community Building by City Hall, the gallery upstairs of in the Courthouse, the Sierra Room in the Community Center, and the walls of the Visitor Center. Grab your cowboy boots and learn to line dance at Carson Lanes. Sassafras welcomes Judith and Rocky to the stage for a jazz jam as fun and funky as their menu.

The Nevada Appeal had a letter-to-the-editor (dated May 1, 2016) stating:
The Downtown Project is more than aesthetics and declared: “Seventy percent of the total expenditures of the downtown project, currently underway, are for vital infrastructure improvements that are failing and run right down the middle of Carson Street under the medians.”
Here are the most up-to-date facts on funding amounts presently available for this project.

Downtown Streetscape Funding
