A 48-year-old Carson City man who reportedly works in security was arrested and faces charges of domestic battery and obstructing a police officer following an incident near the 2400 block of Poole Way in Carson City.

The man allegedly pushed his girlfriend of 11 years into a refrigerator after she asked him to turn down his music in their home.

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."

These days, I get a chuckle when I see people engaging in philosophical debates over health care reform, or "socialized medicine" as opponents call it.

I understand and respect the positions of those who think government should not be a part of the health care system, that the free market will fix everything. It's an interesting philosophical position, but it faces the brick wall of reality.

There's always something special about winning the 4x400-meter relay at the end of a track and field meet. A year ago, the Carson High girls celebrated when they won the 4x400 at the Fallon Elks Invitational, and on Saturday, the Carson boys took their turn when the quartet of Taylor Bradshaw, David McMasters, Brandon Buonacorsi and Nick Schlager won to cap off their day at the 37th annual Fallon invite at Churchill County High's Edward Arciniega Athletic Complex.

Two words came to Colby Blueberg's mind when he spoke about the Carson High baseball team's dramatic double header sweep of Fallon on Saturday afternoon -- confidence and relaxed.
"A couple of things didn't go our way today, but we just stayed confident and relaxed," Blueberg said after contributing to game-winning seventh-inning rallies that lifted the Senators to 4-3 and 2-1 Sierra League victories at Ron McNutt Field. "We were able to keep calm and make the plays."

It may not show up in the conference standings, but the Western Nevada College softball team showed some significant progress while losing both ends of a double header at Salt Lake Community College on Saturday.
The Wildcats took undefeated Salt Lake the seven-inning distance in both games before losing 7-1 and 6-1 during the Scenic West Athletic Conference twin-bill at Bruin Field in Salt Lake City. The outcome was different from Friday, when the Wildcats lost 19-7 and 19-1.

Christa McGahuey swung a big bat and pitched a no-hitter for good measure to help the Carson High J.V. softball team sweep its Sierra League double header at home against Fallon on Saturday.
Carson won the five-inning opener 11-0 and came back to win game two 18-8 to complete the sweep.

Freshman Luke Maher hit a tie-breaking home run in the fourth inning and then came home on a Bruce McIntosh double in the bottom of the sixth to give the Carson High J.V. baseball team an 8-7 victory at home against Fallon in the second game of a Sierra League double header on Saturday afternoon.
Coupled with a 10-0 win in game one, the Senators completed a sweep of the double header and three-game series against Fallon. The Senators are now 5-1 in league play, 8-2 overall for the season.
