As an "Old Timer" who was born and raised in Carson City, the Nevada Day celebration has always been something special in my life.
Through many years of living in Carson City, I have enjoyed many of the activities associated with the celebration of our state's admission to the Union, way back on October 31, 1864.

A Taser was used on a 14-year-old Carson Middle School student after reportedly being combative with officers. Carson City Sheriff Ken Furlong said Wednesday that the female student was in the school office, was in violation of probation and deputies were called asking that she be removed from campus.
When a deputy arrived they determined that a second officer was needed because of the situation, Furlong said. The female officer attempted to take the student into custody and the student began to fight the deputy and a taser was deployed.

Major League Baseball revealed a new playoff format this year by adding an additional team to the wild card mix. It has some potential in my mind after being extremely skeptical about it.
Before this year, only one team won a wild card spot in both the American and National Leagues and they went straight into the Division Series. This year the playoff format allowed one additional team in each league to play for the wild card spot in the division series.

I appreciate the opportunity to write a commentary regarding Carson City Question 1 (CC#1) because I hope I might reach those people who are undecided on CC1 because of all the fearful information being circulated.
To make my point, a fairly large ad appeared in the Saturday, October 20th edition of the NV Appeal which had a picture of two older people and a young child and it said “Loving grandparents leave no debts for their grandchildren, vote no on CC#1”.
