The Carson City School Board will discuss tentative budget scenarios and assumptions for the next fiscal year at their next meeting on Tuesday, April 10 at 6 p.m. in the Sierra Room of the Carson City Community Center.

The board will also meet in closed session to discuss labor relations with the district's management representatives.

The full agenda is below:

There will be work at the following locations as a result of the Freeway Landscaping Project. No closures are expected, but traffic control will be in effect.

• College Parkway in the vicinity of the Freeway.
• US Highway 50 in the vicinity of the Freeway.
• Northgate Lane between Jumbo Court and Dyer Court.
• Emerson Drive between Mark Way and College Parkway.
• North Carson Street, in the vicinity of the freeway overpass.
• Arrowhead Drive between N. Carson Street and Garnet Way.

Proponents and city officials fear the electorate's decision about City Center because when the record is examined, no impartial analysis can be produced justifying its necessity. Fact-based concerns have been raised by many, but intentionally ignored by city officials and proponents without careful analysis.

The 2012 Carson City/County Democratic Convention will be held on April 14, at the Community Center Gymnasium 851 E William St., starting at 8:00 AM for registration. To avoid waiting in line, you may also preregister at the Democratic Headquarters 502 E. Johnson Street, Friday April 13 from 6PM to 9 PM. If you would like to become a Democrat, you may also register with the party at this time.

Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should do it.

That's the basis of the argument being put forward by some of the more vocal supporters of the Carson City Center Project, aka Nugget Project, as they try to fight back the attempt to put the issue on the November ballot.

They would be wise to follow their own advice.

Elaine and I just returned home from a special way to celebrate a special occasion. March 30 was our 10th wedding anniversary and we had wanted to do something out of the ordinary for that event.

When we were married 10 years ago, we took a 19 day honeymoon in Southeast Asia, which included Hong Kong, China; Singapore, Malaysia; Bangkok, Thailand; and the last eight days at Bali, Indonesia.

Most interesting, we took my new mother-in-law, Mary Bottoms, with us!
I bet that very few of you took your mother-in-law on your honeymoon!

The Eastern Sierra Back Country Fishing Guide is designed to provide anglers with a quick, informative and accurate account of the distribution of fisheries in back country high elevation lakes.

More than 3,000 lakes have been surveyed for fish and amphibians and related habitat features.

Here are the most recent fish plants in Western Nevada by the Nevada Department of Wildlife.

CARSON CITY – Nevada’s Office of the Military figured it would be money ahead after entering into a contract with a firm to build solar panels on three of its sites around the state to supply it with electricity.

But today officials with the office won approval from the state Board of Examiners to seek $46,284 from a legislative contingency fund to pay excess utility costs. The reason is because the solar energy being provided under the contract is costing the agency more than if it purchased electricity directly from NV Energy.

Carson City Sheriff's deputies arrested the following individuals for felony allegations:

• Charity Michael Rife, 35, a Sparks woman, was transferred to the Carson City Detention Facility from the Northern Nevada Correctional Facility on the following warrants out of Carson City: obtaining and using a false ID to avoid imprisonment; theft; burglary (two counts; uttering forged instruments (three counts); and theft from $250 - $2,500 (two counts). Bail is set at $50,000.

CARSON CITY – A lengthy legal dispute with the contractor who built the first phase of the Carson City freeway bypass was settled today for about $13.6 million by the Board of Examiners.

With $5.9 million in additional legal costs incurred by the state Department of Transportation to defend itself from the lawsuit filed by Ames Construction in 2008, the total cost to resolve the matter is $19.5 million.
