Two men were arrested and face felony charges of assault following attacks on two people at a Carson City bar on Saturday.

Eyewitnesses told sheriff's deputies that one of the men hit another man in the head using a beer bottle at around 2 a.m. at a downtown Carson City bar. The victim was treated at the scene by paramedics for injuries to the head.

A 23-year-old unemployed Carson City man was arrested after allegedly obstructing an officer when deputies found him and a woman lying in the middle of the road near a bar at 1475 Old Hot Springs Road.

Officers found the man sitting next to the woman, propping her up as she continually fell over, according to a deputy report. Officers asked the man what had happened, and the man said "I ain't driving. I don't need to tell you anything."

It was about midnight and tensions at the White House ran high on that January evening. House and Senate leaders had been haggling for days to merge their two health care bills. The heady momentum of passing President Barack Obama’s top domestic priority in both chambers had given way to the touchy task of reconciling two very different pieces of legislation. Their window for passing health care was closing: Republican Scott Brown was gaining ground on the Democratic candidate for the Massachusetts Senate seat long held by Ted Kennedy. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid began to speak.

First, it's not in Fuji Park at all. It's behind the Carson City Fairgrounds, on the other side of the river, back where everyone can see it from the highway but you'll need signs and arrows to tell you how to get there. This could have been so much better if it was over by the grassy area of the park itself, maybe even built so that Clear Creek flows through it.
