For all you experts of the terrain parks, Heavenly Mountain Resort has something new and exciting for you. Plus details on that last week of operations for the ski and rider season.

Heavenly has announced its plan for the week of April 19 – 25. In mid-March, Heavenly announced the extension of the 2009-10 season by one week in response to conditions and a plentiful snowpack. This season the resort will operate the final week with the most ski and snowboard terrain available in the past three years.

With veiled threats to the governors of Nevada and several other states last month by a far-right militia group, the amount of anti-government fervor may be boiling over nationally, but all is peaceful today in Carson City as more than a thousand have gathered at the Capitol to protest President Barack Obama, Sen. Harry Reid and health care.

Oh, and taxes. But there were far more anti-Obama and Harry Reid signs and a few Hitler ones than anything remotely about the IRS, today being the filing deadline for federal income taxes.

Here are some Tea Party events happening around the state tomorrow (April 15).  If anyone knows of one not listed here, email me at editor@nevadanewsbureau.com and I’ll post it.

CARSON CITY — Northern Nevada, Lake Tahoe and the capital city have seen a share of vehicle accidents largely due to weather from today's winter storm. Nevada Highway Patrol spokesman Chuck Allen reports the following:

"This morning between 6:00 and 11:00 am, troopers from the Nevada Highway Patrol responded to a total of 15 accidents throughout the region. 3 accidents involved injuries while the other 12 were property damage only. Although I don’t have details concerning every wreck, I wanted to at least provide some preliminary numbers concerning the commute this morning.

Carson City fire investigators have not yet determined what started a fire late this morning that nearly destroyed a building that housed a mattress supply business and a hair salon.

The investigation shows the fire began at around 11:45 this morning on the east exterior of the building, said Carson City Fire Chief Stacey Giomi. The two businesses, Mattress King and High Desert Hair, won't be able to operate anytime soon, Giomi said.

Firefighters assigned to a structure fire at the Mattress King building on Fairview Drive in Carson City, apparently had problems with a water hydrant at the corner of Idaho and Industrial streets.

In fact witnesses watched firefighters trying to tap into the hydrant without luck as the fire raged on, growing hotter with the smoke becoming a dense black, a sign of rising temperatures within the building.

The Carson City Symphony, directed by David Bugli, will perform a concert, "Spirit of Exploration" at the Carson City Community Center on Saturday, April 24, beginning at 4 p.m. The concert features soloist Gail Williams in Horn Concerto No. 1 by Richard Strauss.
Tickets are $15 general admission, $12 for seniors, students, and Symphony Association members and free for age 16 and under. www.ActivityTickets.com or at the door, (775) 883-4154. www.CCSymphony.com.
