Jordan Caroline and Caleb Martin each scored 19 points as the 12-0 Nevada Wolf Pack held on for a 68-62 victory over the Akron Zips on Saturday night in their last contest of 2018, but it wasn’t without some familiar consternation.

Akron came into Lawlor Events Center with the NCAA’s 18th ranked scoring defense, limiting opponents to 39 percent from the floor and 31 percent from distance. Their record included four losses, but only by a combined 12 points.

With the exception of "the birds and the bees," there is probably no more sensitive topic to discuss with our children than the existence of Santa Claus.

For the record, I believe in Santa Claus. Yup, I do.

Bid farewell to Autumn, because today is the first full day of Winter.

This is also the last weekend before Christmas Day, which means the last Santa Trains of the season at the Nevada Railroad Museum. Santa Claus also leaves his North Pole headquarters at the Carson Mall Sunday in preparation for his big night.

On Thursday December 13, 2018 at approximately 8:15 p.m., two Washoe Tribe Police Department Officers were dispatched to a domestic disturbance on the Dresslerville Community located in Douglas County.

The Christmas season can be difficult for children in foster care. For some, it may be the first Christmas not spent with their families. For others, it is just one more Christmas in the child welfare system.

A 21-year-old transient man was charged with 19 counts of violating conditions of bail release after calling a victim he was ordered to have no contact with a total of 19 times while in custody at the Carson City Jail.

Carson City and Douglas County emergency crews are on scene of a single vehicle crash that occurred about three miles west of Spooner Junction up U.S. Highway 50 toward Lake Tahoe Thursday night.

The vehicle is reported to be blocking the No. 1 eastbound travel lane.

An ambulance is on scene. Extent of injuries is unknown.

Reader Mike Cowan sent in this photo of our local wild horses who are for some reason deciding to walk through Washoe Lake on their Thursday commute.

The lake has been slowly emptying the last few months due to the dryer conditions, and apparently the horses are taking advantage of the shallows.

Swimmers should take note: you should always yield to swimming livestock because it’s more polite than cutting through the aquatic equestrian’s here.
