May 2012

The next Bike Polo game is scheduled for Thursday, May 24th, 6:00PM, in the parking Lot behind the old Colonial Bank at 901 North Stewart Street (across from Smiths on Valley Street). The games have been going really good, but we need more players so people can take breaks more often.  We have all the gear, so all you need is a bike, the protective gear of your choice, and a good attitude.  Come down and play!

CARSON CITY – Sixty state lawmakers and legislative candidates who responded to a survey on government transparency largely favor new laws requiring the Legislature to follow the Open Meeting Law and mandating expanded reporting of spending on legislators by lobbyists.

Sunday, May 20 was a memorable day for two of our friends. The two friends are Stephanie Parker (our neighbor) and her brother George, who was visiting our area from Phoenix, Ariz.
Stephanie is fairly new to Carson City and to our neighborhood, having moved here from Las Vegas, where she lived and worked for many years.
When I first discovered that George would be visiting and that he is an ardent fisherman, I asked Stephanie (who also fishes) if the two of them would like to try Mackinaw (Lake) Trout fishing at Lake Tahoe.
Without hesitation, she said, “You bet. Yes, we would!”

If you’re looking for something totally different to do this weekend in the fishing world, you might want to take the long trip to Ely and be a contestant in a Northern Pike fishing derby at nearby Comins Lake.
Comins Lake is located just several miles out of Ely; it contains Northern Pike, some Largemouth Bass and perhaps even a few leftover rainbows.
The Pike were illegally introduced into Comins some years ago and have virtually wiped out all other species with their voracious appetites.
