After a battle with Utah Mormons, new prospectors, and a vigilante committee, Nevada finally won its right to be an official U.S. territory in 1861, most likely due to the fact that the Comstock Lode was discovered in 1859, and supplied the Union with much needed gold and silver deposits.

When news of the sudden death of Assembly candidate and brothel owner Dennis Hof reached us last Tuesday, we were quite stunned by it. We had gotten to know Dennis, and James had seen him several times in the weeks preceding his sudden departure.

One of his great gifts was the ability to make you feel you were the most important person in the room. Two occasions involving James come to mind, but Ron felt the same way.

My name is Colleen Bannister and I was a victim of a violent crime. This is a bit lengthy so I apologize but so is the ride through the justice system. Entering the justice system is nothing like people think. You think it's as easy as you are a victim and the bad guy will be punished.

CARSON CITY — Three quarters of Nevada adults attended a cultural event in the past year and an equal percentage believe the arts improves the quality of life in their communities, according to the poll “Americans Speak Out About the Arts in 2018.”

No sympathy for voter apathy was the focus of Wednesday night's "Ideas on Tap" gathering at Battle Born Social restaurant in Carson City. Panelists spoke of voter passions, voter reform, the power of the ballot, voter education, and making sure every citizen and registered voter understands the process.

CARSON CITY — According to Restore Your Vote, some 90,000 Nevadans cannot vote due to past felony convictions. The Brennan Center for Justice estimates more than 6 million Americans are unable to vote because of a felonious past.

There's a lot of chatter right now about voting, especially with one particular statewide ballot initiative coming up for public vote on Nov. 6.

The Carson City Chamber Board of Directors announced its decision Tuesday to encourage its membership and residents to vote "no" on Question 3, the Energy Initiative.

An initiative to allow eligible citizens to automatically register to vote while at the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles takes form in this election year’s Question 5. The indirect initiative was approved along partisan lines, but Gov. Brian Sandoval vetoed the initiative, choosing instead for the issue to go to a public vote.

The Greenhouse Project in Carson City, a nonprofit teaching facility at Carson High School that provides youth education and vocational opportunities, is participating in the Power of Good Giveaway through the NV Energy Foundation and is asking locals to vote Tuesday through Friday.

Among today's events are a morning walk and evening hike hosted by Muscle Powered, a chamber luncheon that focuses on Nevada Ballot Question 3 and the showing of the film "Westward the Women" by the Carson City Classic Cinema Club.

Ballot Question 3 is receiving a lot of air time from both sides, convincing you to vote for or against this complex initiative that would amend the Declaration of Rights within the Nevada Constitution should the voters vote in favor of a competitive retail energy market.

Question 4 is on the ballot this year for Nevadans to choose whether or not to include certain medical equipment to the sales tax exemption list, similar to Question 2.
