SATURDAY: Chinese New Year

The Carson Baseball Boosters Club would like to invite the community to its annual Poker Tournament on Saturday, Jan. 28 which raises funds for the program. Competition is the key to the continued success of the program, which is why the teams will be traveling to high exposure tournaments this upcoming year.

Carson High School students are currently working with great intensity to fulfill their Senior Projects, a graduation requirement.

All those involved encourage students to pursue a personal interest, something to benefit others, or something to prepare themselves for their future.

David Lee's 23rd book, "Bluebonnets, Firewheels, and Brown-Eyed Susans, Or, Poems New and Used from the Bandera Rag and Bone Shop," was published recently. He's been on tour, reading and teaching at the Cliff Notes Writing Conference in Utah and at poetry festivals in Ohio, among others.

To understand the history of the Nevada State Museum, explains Bob Nylen, the museum’s curator of history, you need to first understand the history of the U.S. Mint in Carson City. It began operation in 1870 and ran until 1893.

A 52-year-old Carson City woman was arrested Sunday for felony suspicion of indecent exposure and destruction of property after allegedly punching out a window to a business and running around without clothes on, a Carson City sheriff’s deputy said.

As our readers know, we’re huge sports fans. So the idea of going to a professional sporting event in our home state of Nevada is very exciting.
And that excitement is resonating across Nevada as the Oakland Raiders are considering relocating to Las Vegas.

However, that excitement alone isn’t enough to justify higher taxes in order to provide public funding for constructing a new stadium. Professional sports are, after all, a business and should be financed on their own.

Carson City sheriff’s investigators have released surveillance photos of the suspect in the Thursday morning armed robbery of the Subway at Winnie Lane and North Carson Street.

The suspect is around 5 foot 7 inches to 5 foot 10 inches in height, with blond hair and was wearing a mask. He robbed the restaurant at gunpoint shortly before 9:55 a.m. taking cash from the business and a customer before fleeing on foot.

In both sports and life, we love great champions.

But athletic dominance alone isn't what makes a champion great. Character is what elevates some to the greatness. Humility, integrity, sportsmanship and respect for others are what set some champions apart.

That’s why we think more highly of Greg Maddux than Roger Clemens. Maddux was all class all the time, while Clemens was full of ego, aggression and controversy.

Something which might not draw a great deal of attention around CHS is the Senior Sunrise, because how many 17-year-olds want to get up even earlier in the morning than they already have to, especially on a Wednesday knowing full well they will not be able to run home first and shower before school begins. That would be crazy, right.

The equines at Sierra Therapeutic Equestrian Program (STEP) in southern Washoe Valley want to give two lucky Major League Baseball fans a chance to win four tickets to see the San Francisco Giants play in AT&T Park on the Bay.

The MLB Trade Deadline has come and gone. For baseball fanatics it is Christmas in August. The baseball world goes into a frenzy with contending clubs trying to out do their closest competitor(s) for a stretch run into the playoffs and what all hope to be eventually a winning combination to the World Series.

For the Bay Area teams it was much of the same as it as been in recent seasons. San Francisco buys, and Oakland sells.
Although, some may say the Giants sold a little bit of their future today to win now and keep with the "even year" theme.

Hunter Pence has been having a lot of fun since being with the Sacramento Rivercats on a rehab assignment from a hamstring injury.

Since Pence has returned to baseball with the AAA affiliate of the Giants all he has done in 5 games is hit .500 (8 for 16) with 2 HR's 4 RBI. He played the entire game in Reno last night which is an extremely good sign for the Giants.
