Matthew Russell Blevins, 41, of Carson City, was arrested Monday afternoon for allegedly hitting a road worker with his truck.

According to the arrest report, the incident took place near the intersection of East Long and Russell Way. The flagger reported that Blevins, driving a 1996 white Ford truck, disregarded his directions to drive on the east side of the street. He said that Blevins then stopped, made hand gestures at him, then drove straight at him, striking his right leg with the vehicle. The victim said Blevins then left the scene northbound on Russell Way.

Tahoe's original ski resort, Granlibakken, near Tahoe City, is lodging central in 2012 with various ski and stay packages for seven area resorts.

“How much more warm weather and sunshine can we take,” laughed Kay Williams, deadpanning over last season’s epic seven-month winter and 700+ inches of snow. “Sure, various ski resorts like to be the first to open or last to close, but we want folks to know that we’re ready with early-season offerings.”

Carson City firefighters responded this afternoon to a wildland fire in an empty field near the 3000 block of South Carson Street south of Mill House. Initial attack of the fire at different flanks has the fire reportedly knocked down, but fire units continue to arrive and are staging at the Mill House parking lot. Windy conditions caused the fire to spread to about an acre in size. Mop up is happening now but firefighers on the scene are reporting that, because of the wind, the burn area needs a good dousing to stop stray embers from spreading. The area is dense with brush and tall grass.

The U.S. Forest Service Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit is proposing to thin trees and brush on National Forest System lands near Incline, Nev., to reduce wildfire risk and restore forest health. The LTBMU is seeking public input on the Incline Fuels Reduction and Healthy Forest Restoration project by November 28.

The project area includes 3,927 acres of National Forest System lands on the northeast shore of Lake Tahoe, from the California-Nevada state line to Lake Tahoe-Nevada State Park.

CARSON CITY, Nev. — Consumers who have suffered an “extraordinary life event” may now ask their insurance company to provide an exception to the use of their credit information for underwriting and rating purposes, which may otherwise result in an increase in their premium rate.

“This is an important chance for some Nevadans who have suffered an unfortunate event to find relief during these trying economic times,” said Commissioner Scott J. Kipper of the Nevada Division of Insurance.

Another change in the skies over Carson City, Western Nevada, Lake Tahoe and the Sierra is in the forecast this week, according to the National Weather Service.
After a Nevada Day weekend of blue skies and warm weather a cold front will move into the area late Monday giving way to cooler temperatures in the valleys and a chance of snow in the Sierra on Tuesday. Later in the week, a colder and wetter system will move through the region, with possible periods of heavy snow for Lake Tahoe and the Sierra, according to the weather service.

Dozens of protesters wore white T-shirts emblazoned with "99%" to protest what they see as economic injustice on a world level. They did not disturb any of the Nevada Day festivities.

At least two of the protestors were asked to remove their shirts or leave the Carson Nugget.
