This milestone event has influenced four generations of family, as well as many friends.

The annual Carson High School Dodgeball Tournament took place Dec. 6-16 in the Carson High School big gym during lunch, and both the victory and bragging rights went to the students and not to the teachers.

The competition was fierce with rubber balls flying all over the place and many of the younger CHS teachers strutting their stuff out on the gym floor, battling feverishly to defeat the students.

Saturday couldn’t have been a better day to be a kid. From Legos to locomotives, from cookies to crafts, and ice skates to canines, area children had plenty of fun activities to choose from in Carson City.

Oh baby, it’s cold outside. Jack Frost seems to be working overtime this weekend, bringing temperatures that will barely rise above freezing. I suggest some hot cocoa. Join Santa at Adele’s for pictures, cookies, and something warm to drink, just remember to bring an unwrapped toy to donate.

Organizers of the annual Holiday Crawl estimate they made about $10,000 for the Holiday with a Hero shopping spree that benefits children in need in the community.

Thanksgiving isn't a patriotic holiday per se, but it is full of patriotic feelings as Americans did and should give thanks for our shared blessings as a nation.

Want to find out what is going through the minds of the amazing students of Carson High School? Parents, teachers, older adults, younger adults, the community of Carson City, and even small pets want to know.

Gary and I would like to thank everyone for their very generous donations to my medical fund, via GoFundMe and private donations, with special thanks to Ellie Bugli for organizing this event. As we reflect on our blessings this time of year, we are so thankful for the support of the music community as well as the wonderful citizens of the Carson City area. Words are inadequate to express our gratitude. Your kindness is priceless!

When talking with students, Brian Williams compares their lives to being dealt a hand of cards. Some cards are health or illness, wealth or poverty, strong families or dysfunctional ones.

“You can’t control the cards you’re given, and you can’t hand them back in,” he told Eagle Valley Middle School students Monday afternoon. “Sometimes people look at their cards and think, ‘This is a horrible hand, there’s no way I can win.’ But there are always people who can take a terrible deck of cards and come away winning.”


This event may not be as exciting as Major League Baseball’s Chicago Cubs triumph over the Cleveland Indians, ending a 108 year title drought, but anyone who ever attended Carson High School or Douglas High School knows that its rivalry has lasted equally as long.

Competition is in the heart of most people, and the students, faculty, and staff at CHS is no exception to that rule. Students and teachers are not going to miss out on the myriad of individual and cooperative competitive opportunities that present themselves at the high school level.

Carson High School celebrated its first Week of Respect Oct. 3-7. Students and staff participated in daily activities promoting positive interactions to support a safe and respectful learning environment. Highlights of the week included interactive game stations where students gathered in Senator Square and engaged in board games and brain teasers.

Even though homecoming has now concluded, Carson High School is by no means finished with its current and upcoming events. Not only is the CHS National Honor Society Blood Drive coming up, Oct. 6 from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the small gym, but Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval proclaimed Oct. 3-7 to be the “Week of Respect” throughout the state of Nevada.

The excitement at Carson High School right now is off the chart as every student prepares for Homecoming and all the fun and festivities that come along with its arrival. Beginning at 1 p.m., every student in the school hustled to the CHS big gym to prepare for and celebrate everything from the freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior classes to the upcoming crowning of the 2016 Homecoming Queen and King.

Susan Crowell, wife of Mayor Bob Crowell of Carson City, is a mixture of strength, forthrightness, and intrigue. Susan is an attractive, well-spoken, well educated, and independent thinking female — both as a wife, mother, and citizen of Carson City. The definition of who she really is lies in her upbringing, her education, her marriage, her children, and in her personal interests. All these components interact to make for a thoughtful woman with a definite mind of her own, yet one who wants the best for others involved in all of these relationships.

Like many who learned of the rumor of a so-called “Day of Rage” civil disobedience protest to take place in 37 U.S. cities including Carson City, there was a deep concern for the safety of local law enforcement after the July 7 shooting in Dallas that left five officers dead.

New Year’s is upon us and with it comes a time of resolution. Many of our resolutions deal with personal desires to improve upon ourselves. How about a resolution that benefits everyone you will come into contact with New Year’s Eve and the rest of 2016?

You would be surprised at the number of people that don’t know who we are or what we do. Yes, people use our name and adopt from us and talk about us, but many people confuse us with other non-profit groups. It’s a common challenge faced by all animal welfare agencies.
