Carson High School Principal Gavin Ward stood at the north entrance high-fiving students as they entered high school, some of them for the first time. In fact, counselors, teachers, and other administrators stood at each of the school entrances welcoming students to the best high school in the state, hyperbole aside.

It's a frigid Wednesday night outside, but inside the Tazmanian Boxing Club in Carson City, the gym is packed with children and adults working up a sweat while learning valuable skills.

In a strong showing of community support, Tazmanian Boxing Club owner Francisco Rodriguez cut the ribbon to his gym's new 8,000 square-foot fitness facility Saturday morning with the help of family, friends, the Carson City Chamber of Commerce and Carson City Board of Supervisors.

Your weekend has arrived, Carson City. Today is Saturday, Nov. 10, 2018. A busy week is deserving of time off and for many the weekend is extended as Monday is Veteran's Day with federal, state and local governments, as well as city schools closed so we can pay tribute to America's finest men and women who have served or are currently serving in our Armed Forces.

Congratulations to the winners of Passport to Downtown raffle prizes, whose names are listed below in alphabetical order.

Come celebrate the grand opening of Tazmanian Boxing Club's new location, 3737 N. Carson Street in Carson City, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Featuring boxing, cardio boxing, cardio for women and mixed martial arts, Tazmanian Boxing Club is a complete fitness center. It is also home to Northern Nevada Rock Steady Boxing, a program for Parkinson's Disease patients.

You’ll see some pretty interesting vehicles on the road these next few days, as travelers from all over head to Burning Man. If you aren’t off to the Playa yourself, there will be plenty of fun around town to keep you and your family occupied. The second annual Family Fun Day in Mills Park is your best bet for kids of all ages. This week’s free concert at Brewery Arts Center features the Dusty Green Bones. Don’t forget your dancing shoes; they’re sure to keep you on your feet.

You’ll find great live music, including some special concerts at the Brewery Arts Center, karaoke for those over 21, and the opening weekend performances of ‘The Lion King, Jr.’ Keep reading and go have some fun.

SATURDAY:

Students finding their future careers before they have even graduated from high school has been an evolution in the making and who would have thought?

However, between Carson High School’s Senior Project graduation requirement, made possible by the generous working community of Carson City, the myriad of old and newly formed clubs offered to the students of Carson High, and on-site income earners like The Greenhouse Project, not to mention the Career and Technical Education Jump Start program offered through Western Nevada College, students are figuring out quickly that high school is not the end of their education before starting a career, it is where they may actually begin their careers.

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.”

October is behind us and this November weekend kicks off the holiday season with craft fairs, art shows, and plenty of fun. Get a jump on those New Year’s resolutions by participating in the first of the ‘Be Bold, Run in the Cold’ 5 or 10K runs that Ascent Runs is sponsoring. Wine walk your way into autumn in our newly renovated downtown. Have a great weekend, Carson City, and keep reading for all of the local happenings.

SATURDAY:

The Carson City Library is hosting a free public presentation for our elementary youth and their families to inspire our community to be kind.

Join us and Brian Williams, Founder of ThinkKindness, to make a difference in Carson City!

In both sports and life, we love great champions.

But athletic dominance alone isn't what makes a champion great. Character is what elevates some to the greatness. Humility, integrity, sportsmanship and respect for others are what set some champions apart.

That’s why we think more highly of Greg Maddux than Roger Clemens. Maddux was all class all the time, while Clemens was full of ego, aggression and controversy.

The kids deserve some fun for surviving their first week back at school, and Carson City delivers. The first annual Northern Nevada Family Fun Day takes over Mills Park with music, a kids zone, activities, food, raffles, and much more. Check out the Bowling Blast Off at Carson Lanes for a Car Show, bowling specials, and fun. Once the sun sets, Washoe Lake State Park offers a basic astronomy lesson and some celestial viewing. Keep reading: there’s something for everyone this weekend.

SATURDAY:

Popular culture sensationalizes the martial arts as inflicting pain, but the reality is that these ancient practices are more about internal healing than forms of defense.

Aviation and aerospace displays, historic aircraft, formation fliers, hot air balloon rides, a pancake breakfast and more will be featured this Saturday at the Carson City Airport Open House.

With well over 6,000 visitors attending last year, this year’s event is expected will be bigger with a bevy of activities including interactive displays, flybys, plane and helicopter demonstrations, drone demonstrations, food and beverages, a bounce house and many family activities.

An object in motion stays in motion, Sir Isaac Newton's First Law of Motion states.

Carson City residents Matthew Bartak and Teak Dopf have got inertia down to a science. They haven't stopped moving since the first time they touched a set of wheels.

They've ridden bikes, skateboards, scooters and skates. They loved them all so much that the two friends became partners in a business two years ago that took their passion for riding to another level.

Okay all you procrastinators, if you planned on making it to the Arlington Square Ice Rink, then today is your last chance. With a temperature around 50, it should be a perfect day to skate one last time. Show some Senator Pride tonight at the Community Center as 24 seniors compete for ‘Mr. Carson High.’ There’s a lot going on this weekend, so take a look at the list and go have some fun.

SATURDAY:

Women's Self Defense Seminar: Improve your personal safety by learning specific techniques to enhance situational awareness, avoidance and protection in a self defense situation.

Defend against a bigger, stronger attacker. You will learn defensive moves against bear hugs, chokes, wrist grabs, being taken to the ground, knives, guns and more.

Seminar is $10 per person, with proceeds to benefit Advocates to End Domestic Violence.

Call 775-883-5425 for more information or to register.

The Carson High School Craft Fair coming this Friday and Saturday, Nov. 20 and 21. Hundreds of crafters from all over Nevada and Northern California will fill both gymnasiums and halls of CHS. All money raised from the craft fair is donated to the various student clubs and organizations at CHS. Come support this annual tradition. Santa will also be on hand for photos.

Carson City has some great options tonight: live music at Living the Good Life and Glen Eagles, country dance at Carson Lanes, or Geeks who Drink Trivia at Lake Tahoe Brewery. For the more culturally minded, don’t miss the Tahoe Symphony Orchestra and Chorus 9/11 Memorial Concert with Guest Artist Elizabeth Pitcairn at the Corpus Christi Catholic Church. Capital City Arts Initiative is proud to present Nicole Nathan, curator at the Museum of Contemporary Craft in Portland, Oregon. Nathan will give an illustrated talk on the role of craft and design in contemporary culture, titled ‘Craft Now’, as part of CCAI’s ongoing Nevada Neighbors Series.

WEDNESDAY:

• National Championship Air Races at the Reno Stead Airport (8am-4:30pm; $16 general admission)
• ‘Wally’s World: The Loneliest Art Collection in Nevada’ in the OXS Gallery at the Nevada Arts Council: 716 N. Carson St. (8am-5pm)

A week before the Carson City Airport Open House, aviation enthusiasts can get a thrill of the vintage aircraft variety this weekend aboard the "Tin Goose." The airplane will soar Saturday and Sunday over the capital city, taking community members on rides both days.

With hopes of generating enthusiasm among young people and using themes of robotics, aviation and aerospace to do it, Carson City Airport's annual open house returns to the skies above the capital city on Saturday, June 20, after a year hiatus.

More than 6,000 visitors attended the event in 2013. This year’s open house, which runs from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m., is free to the public. Activities will feature interactive displays, flybys, plane and helicopter demonstrations, robotics demonstrations, food and beverages, bounce house and many more family activities.
