I wanted to thank all of the committee members, the volunteers and our great community that gave so much, to make the 31st annual Douglas County Kids Fishing Day a huge success last weekend.</p> <p>I would also like to congratulate the following young anglers that caught the biggest fish for their session. Jason Maas, 6.89 pounds, Judah Laeger, 6.83 pounds, Wrennley Shine, 5.51 pounds, Steele Curry, 3.37 pounds, Lily Steele, 2.59 pounds, Clayton Maddon, 2.51 pounds and Rylan Hughes, 1.07 pounds.</p> <p>These were your trophy winners, but actually, we were all winners. The committee will now take a few weeks off and start planning for next year's event.</p> <p>If you would like to become a part of next year's derby. Go to <a href="http://www.dcnvkidsfishingderby.org" title="www.dcnvkidsfishingderby.org">www.dcnvkidsfishingderby.org</a> for all the information. I must say, we timed that event perfectly and Mother Nature cooperated. Because this weekend will be in the mid to upper 90 degree temperatures.</p> <p>Wherever you venture out to. Make sure to bring plenty of water or Gatorade, and don't forget the sunscreen. Sodas and caffeinated drinks may make you feel cool and refreshed. But the caffeine drains your body of the fluids you need to keep hydrated.</p> <p>I am one of those people that will be getting out on the water this week. But I will be fishing from just before sunrise to about noon, and then back on the water about 6 to dark. A reminder that Saturday, June 8 is free fishing day in Nevada.</p> <p>You will need to abide by all regulations for the body of water you are fishing, but a license is not required.</p> <p>Saturday is also Nevada State Parks Day. All entrance fees will be waived, but there may be fees for camping or boat launching. As a note, our neighboring state of California will have their free fishing days on July 6th and August 31 this year.</p> <p>SILVER LAKE: Renee and I ventured up last week for the morning. We did get there a little late. We started at 6:30 a.m., which we should have started about 5:15. Fishing was very slow to nil. We tried deep and shallow with Rapalas from an F5 to a J12 with no action. The lake level is full and the ramp is very accessible. Make sure to keep an eye on your depth finder. If you're not familiar with the lake. You may get a few snags or find one of those prop eating rocks or run aground on one of the jetties.</p> <p>CAPLE LAKE: The lake level is up and the KGID day use and boat ramp is open. The Caples Lake Resort is open for launching and boat rentals. Tom and Gabby Schaeffer from Reno were staying at the resort last weekend and landed a nice Brown and a mackinaw. Best action has been by the Woods Creek or Immigrant Cove area. Rapalas or Thomas Buoyant spoons have been most productive. The lake is scheduled to be planted by the CDFW next week with catchable rainbow trout. For more information stop by the Caples Lake Resort.</p> <p>RED LAKE: The lake level is up. I have not received any reports from anglers, nor have I fished it since it iced out.</p> <p>BLUE LAKES: As of this week, the road was open to the third gate. But with our warming temperatures, that may change.</p> <p>BURNSIDE LAKE-WOODS LAKE-LOOPE CANYON-SILVER HILL- SUNSET LAKES- TAMARACK LAKE-HIGHLAND LAKES: As of this week, the road is still closed.</p> <p>HOPE VALLEY FISHING ACCESS: The parking area is open, but the walk path and fishing platform are closed.</p> <p>WOODS CREEK ACCESS: The lot is open for access to Caples Lake.</p> <p>INDIAN CREEK RESERVOIR: The lake is at a caution level for blue green algae. Stay away from algae and scum in the water. Do not let pets go in the water, drink the water, or eat scum on the shore. Keep Children away from algae. If you fish the lake. Make sure to rinse your cleaned fish in fresh water before eating or freezing them.</p> <p>CARSON RIVER WEST FORK ALPINE COUNTY: Fishing has been fair for anglers fishing out in the meadow in Hope Valley. Nightcrawlers or a single salmon egg has been productive. The river was flowing at 250 CFM this week in the valley. As many may know, the white bridge in Woodfords canyon is closed to vehicle traffic as a safety concern. The Alpine County Fish and Game is scheduled to plant the river next week.</p> <p>CARSON RIVER EAST FORK ALPINE COUNTY: The river is running clear with a little stain on it. This week it was running at 1150 CFM and may go higher this weekend. Fishing has been fair to good for anglers that don't mind a little hike. Spinners, mice tails or nightcrawlers have been most successful. In faster moving waters, ditch the powerbait and use power eggs. They are just as productive and would come off your hook every few casts Alpine County F&amp;G has scheduled a plant for next week. For more information, or to get your picture taken with your catch. Stop by the Carson River Resort. There are a lot of rafters and kayakers on the river right now. Be aware of them and use a little courtesy as they pass by.</p> <p>TAYLOR CREEK-UPPER TRUCKEE RIVER-TROUT CREEK: All located on the south shore or Lake Tahoe is open to catch and release fishing with artificial lures or flies only.</p> <p>TOPAZ LAKE: The lake level is the highest it has been in years. Early morning fishing on the south end where the drop off goes east and west has been successful for anglers with blades and a crawler, or pulling a Rapala right off the bottom. But be careful of the willows that are on top of the shoal. Shore anglers have been using salmon peach or chartreuse powerbait, but fishing has been slow.</p> <p>NDOW FISH PLANTS: These are for the last two weeks. Davis Creek Pond, Mitch Pond, Seeman Pond, Mountain View Pond #1 and #2 Desert Creek, Carson River in Douglas and Lyon counties, Wilson Common Pond. As a note, All the fish from Lampe Park kids derby went into Seeman Pond.</p> <p>JUNE LAKE LOOP AREA:The Loop lakes every other week including this week. Usually, and assuming all their hatcheries are operating fully, they stock every week after Memorial Day through Labor Day then go back to every other week so we’ll keep an eye on that. Remember, there are other groups that bring in bigger Rainbows from Oregon from 1-1⁄2 pounds up to 8 pounds to augment the State stockings primarily before holiday weekends.</p> <p>UPPER OWENS RIVER ABOVE BENTON'S CROSSING: As mentioned, this year’s cutthroat run up from Lake Crowley has been one of the best we’ve seen in years although a bit different.</p> <p>Most of the Cutts were in spots we haven’t seen them in for quite some time or never and not in places (or to a lesser amount) they’ve set up shop in the past ten years. Having not fished it for a couple weeks a secondary run, which sometimes happens, may have taken place.</p> <p>We’ll see next time out. Most caught were “Stray Cutts” in the deeper water below spawning runs with a beaded Yellow Spot nymph and a few on Wooly Buggers. When we do get back out there still may be some but not likely. So what’s next? Typically over the years when the cutthroats have returned to Crowley it comes alive with Browns and Rainbows now that they’ve got the river back to themselves.</p> <p>We’ll continue nymphing the deeper bends and cut banks in the morning and switch to Caddis or Mayfly patterns for the afternoon. As the temps warm up we should see more hatches of both usually about mid-day. Are we going to see a good hopper season? Hope so! After last year’s no show it’s anyone's guess. If conditions are right we may start seeing them by late July into September producing some great top water action and drawing up some big Browns from Crowley to get in on the buffet. Fingers crossed! (Not while fishing though)</p> <p>GULL AND JUNE LAKES: Gull has been fishing so well that we haven’t been on June Lake since the opener. We’ll hit June soon to see what’s up. At Gull we’re getting 20 to 35 rainbows on half to all day trips releasing most. The usual suspects bait wise are Salmon Peach and Garlic (that’s the light green labeled just “Garlic” on the lid) Powerbaits, Mice Tails, Garlic Pinched Crawlers, a nightcrawler under a bobber, and red and gold Thomas Bouyants. </p> <p>Good luck on your next fishing adventure. If you get a photo of your catch, send it to <a href="mailto:editor@carsonnow.org">editor@carsonnow.org</a>. I hope to see you on the waters soon. Good fishin' and tight lines.</p> Outdoors Sat, 08 Jun 2024 18:08:05 +0000 Jeff Munson 131043 at https://carsonnow.org Carson Farmers Market Kickoff begins Saturday, continues weekly through September https://carsonnow.org/reader-content/05/31/2024/carson-farmers-market-kickoff <div class="fb-social-like-widget"><fb:like href="https://carsonnow.org/reader-content/05/31/2024/carson-farmers-market-kickoff" send="false" layout="button_count" show_faces="false" width="350" action="like" font="arial" colorscheme="light"></fb:like></div><div class="field field-type-filefield field-field-images"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <img src="https://carsonnow.org/sites/www.carsonnow.org/files/imagecache/calendar_slide/carson_farmers_market_saturdays_830_am_-_1_pm_june_8_-_september_28_2024.jpg" alt="" title="" class="imagecache imagecache-calendar_slide imagecache-default imagecache-calendar_slide_default" width="180" height="101" /> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-text field-field-byline"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> By Breana Coons </div> </div> </div> <p>Experience Carson City's only farmers market, open every Saturday — rain or shine — from June 8 to Sept. 28, 2024, at the Marv Teixeira Pavilion, Mills Park, Carson City.</p> <p>Delight in a diverse array of offerings from local farmers, ranchers, artisan bakers and crafters.</p> <p>Savor a scrumptious breakfast or lunch while you shop for fresh produce, baked goods, and vibrant flowers.</p> <p>All this and more await you under the shade of Mills Park's pavilion and the park's lush trees, complemented by the enchanting sounds of live music.</p> <p>Join us for a unique blend of community, culture and cuisine!

The Capital City Arts Initiative’s exhibition, "Recent Works", presents work by Gilbertson at the Courthouse Gallery. The exhibition began June 5 and runs through Sept. 26, 2024.</p> <p>CCAI will host a reception for the artist on Wednesday, June 12, 5 to 6:30p.m. with the artist’s introduction at 5:30. The Courthouse is located at 885 E Musser Street, Carson City; the gallery is open Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5 p.m.</p> <p>About his art, Gilbertson said, “My recent work consists of images of flowers layered and commingled with anachronistic line images of defunct mechanical devices and scientific drawings of plant pathologies. Most of the line images were mined from the internet. I sometimes impose a grid onto the plane of the painting, using dots or squares … a reminder that all 2-D artwork is a lie. Watercolor, gouache, acrylic, image transfers, metal leaf, and paper are the materials that I use. The resulting image is initially alluring but upon closer examination is fraught with tension, challenging us to consider our place in the world. The titles I use are in no way meant to influence, direct, or otherwise color the viewers’ experience.”</p> <p>“I don’t care if the viewer knows what I had in mind when I made it, as long as they have something in theirs when they view it” — Alexander Calder</p> <p>Describing his personal history, Gilbertson said, “I was born in the shadow of 'the bomb' towards the end of the first half of the 20th century. Formative events in my life were: the electrocutions of Ethyl and Julius Rosenberg, duck and cover exercises, the deaths of Marilyn, JFK, Martin, Bobby, and Malcolm, the Cuban missile scare....and the Vietnam War. An early memory is drawing in the dirt with a stick, probably at about 4 years old. Drawing has been a regular activity of mine ever since. When I was 17 or so, after reading Sartre's trilogy, I talked to an army recruiter in the hope of going to army language school. I ended up in French Indochina for 3 years dressed somewhat like a large pickle. I never set foot in the army's language school, but I did learn to speak Korean and Vietnamese fairly well. I went to college on the GI Bill after I returned to the States ..... worked as a fruit picker, high school teacher, graphic artist, furniture mover, photographer, offset printer, itinerant artist, architectural drafter, art gallery guy, entrepreneur, college professor, gas station attendant, and picture framer. At the dawn of the new century, I snagged the elusive tenure-track teaching job at a small community college near the Mexico/California border. After 12 years there, I retired to a semi-rural area north of Reno and east of the Sierra Nevada mountains. There I pass my days trying to grow food (and weeds) in my garden, watch Scandinavian, French, and UK who-dun-its on TV with my wife Imelda, spend time in my studio, hang out with my dog, Jaxon, pick on my guitar, take short afternoon naps, pull weeds, and try to figure out the meaning of the big questions in life over a good cup of coffee. The shadows and the weeds are as dense as ever.” </p> <p>Gilbertson earned a MFA at UNLV and a BFA and MA at San José State University.<br /> <a href="https://www.tomgilbertsonstudio.com/" title="https://www.tomgilbertsonstudio.com/">https://www.tomgilbertsonstudio.com/</a></p> <p>Chris Lanier wrote the exhibition essay which is available as a gallery hand-out and archived at ccianv.org.

He is being held at the Carson City Jail on $50,000 bail.</p> <p>The Carson City Sheriff’s Office along with the Northern Nevada Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force and the Department of Homeland Security Investigations executed the search warrant at a Carson City home Thursday related to a child pornography investigation, according to a CCSO news release.</p> <p>The arrest follows an investigation initiated in March 2024, when the ICAC Task Force received a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Detectives determined that child sexual abuse materials were being downloaded at a Carson City residence. Detectives executed a search warrant and seized several items of evidentiary value, the release states.</p> <p>The Carson City Sheriff’s Office is a part of the region’s fight against child exploitation by dedicating a detective to the ICAC Task Force. These cybercrimes are investigated closely with the Washoe County Sheriff’s Office, Sparks Police Department, Federal Bureau of Investigations, Nevada Attorney General’s Office, and the Department of Homeland Security Investigations.</p> News Sat, 08 Jun 2024 13:18:00 +0000 Jeff Munson 131042 at https://carsonnow.org Carson City Library’s themed ‘Travel Through Time,’ Summer Reading Challenge kickoff party happening today https://carsonnow.org/story/06/07/2024/carson-city-library-s-themed-travel-through-time-reading-challenge-kickoff-party-ha <div class="fb-social-like-widget"><fb:like href="https://carsonnow.org/story/06/07/2024/carson-city-library-s-themed-travel-through-time-reading-challenge-kickoff-party-ha" send="false" layout="button_count" show_faces="false" width="350" action="like" font="arial" colorscheme="light"></fb:like></div><div class="field field-type-date field-field-date"> <div class="field-label">Event Date:&nbsp;</div> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <span class="date-display-single">June 8, 2024 - 12:00pm</span> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-filefield field-field-images"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <a href="/story/06/07/2024/carson-city-library-s-themed-travel-through-time-reading-challenge-kickoff-party-ha" class="imagecache imagecache-galleryformatter_slide imagecache-linked imagecache-galleryformatter_slide_linked"><img src="https://carsonnow.org/sites/www.carsonnow.org/files/imagecache/galleryformatter_slide/131032-img_8964.jpeg" alt="" title="" width="500" height="334" /></a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-text field-field-byline"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> Carson City Library </div> </div> </div> <p>It’s time to get reading with the Carson City Library’s Summer Reading Challenge kicking off Saturday, June 8 from 12 to 4 p.m. at the Carson City Library, located at 900 N.

Playground is closed.</li> <li>Ronald D. Wilson Park-Slide and safety surfacing were damaged-surfacing has been replaced, estimated ship date from the vendor for the slide is June 14th.  Playground is closed.</li> <li>Governor’s Field- Slide separation and crack in slide (possible vandalism)-replacement slide ordered. Playground is closed.</li> <li>Sunland Vista-Slide collapsed (possible vandalism)-replacement slide ordered.  Playground is closed.</li> <li>Sonoma Park-Swings damaged-swings were removed and replacement swings ordered.  Playground is open.</li> <li>Riley Circle-Swings had damaged hardware-swings were removed and replacement swings ordered.  Playground is open.</li> </ul> <p> <br />  </p> <p>When asked how the community can help mitigate the impacts caused by vandalism and damage, Budge said the best way is the old rule of: If you see something, say something. </p> <p>“Often times frequent misuse of the equipment, creates a piece of equipment to fail overtime,” Budge said. “The public can help through timely reporting.”<br /> 
 With regard to vandalism/misuse, the public can report issues in progress to non-emergency dispatch at 775-887-COPS and a Park Ranger or Deputy will respond.  </p> <p>Please contact the Parks Administration office to report vandalism, broken equipment, or other safety concerns throughout the City’s park system at 775-887-2262. </p> Community Fri, 07 Jun 2024 22:17:41 +0000 Kelsey Penrose 131029 at https://carsonnow.org Jersey Mike’s Subs to open in Carson City June 12 https://carsonnow.org/story/06/07/2024/jersey-mike-s-subs-open-carson-city-june-12 <div class="fb-social-like-widget"><fb:like href="https://carsonnow.org/story/06/07/2024/jersey-mike-s-subs-open-carson-city-june-12" send="false" layout="button_count" show_faces="false" width="350" action="like" font="arial" colorscheme="light"></fb:like></div><div class="field field-type-date field-field-date"> <div class="field-label">Event Date:&nbsp;</div> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <span class="date-display-single">June 12, 2024 (All day)</span> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-filefield field-field-images"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <a href="/story/06/07/2024/jersey-mike-s-subs-open-carson-city-june-12" class="imagecache imagecache-galleryformatter_slide imagecache-linked imagecache-galleryformatter_slide_linked"><img src="https://carsonnow.org/sites/www.carsonnow.org/files/imagecache/galleryformatter_slide/131038-img_8977.jpeg" alt="" title="" width="411" height="400" /></a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-text field-field-byline"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> Christine van Moorsel </div> </div> </div> <p>Jersey Mike’s Subs, known for its fresh sliced/fresh grilled subs, will open at 956 Topsy Lane in Carson City on June 12. </p> <p>Franchise owners Brett Lewis and TC Krueger will hold a grand opening and fundraiser from Wednesday, June 12 to Sunday, June 16 to support the Special Olympics of Nevada. </p> <p>Customers who receive a special fundraising coupon distributed through a grassroots effort prior to the opening can make a minimum $3 contribution to Special Olympics of Nevada in exchange for a regular sub. </p> <p>Customers must have a coupon to be eligible.</p> <p>“We are very excited about the opportunity to bring our amazing subs to Carson City,” said Krueger. “The quality food and the amazing culture of Jersey Mike’s will fit right in with this great community.
