Given a chance, the Carson High softball "Cardiac Kids" have shown they know how to come back and win in the last inning.

The Carson High J.V. baseball team swept a doubleheader from Damonte Ranch on Saturday, scoring seven runs in the fifth inning to win the opener 13-10. The Senators then rode a complete game pitching performance from Casey Wolfe to take the second game 2-1 at Ron McNutt Field.

I've always liked Dean Heller. We might disagree politically, but my interactions with him have always been friendly. He seems like a truly nice person, the opposite of the what we see in some other Nevada politicians.

But watching him this week at the NNDA breakfast reminded me that Dean's ambition is clearly more important than adherence to truth.

You see, Dean used to come off as a lot more moderate than he does today. As assemblyman and Secretary of State, he championed causes that don't exactly line up with the national GOP's ideology.

Pros with Carson City ties
 

The Carson High baseball team is beginning to figure it out.

CARSON CITY — There haven’t been any arrests or any contraband seized since security was tightened at the state Capitol in the wake of a March 31 letter warning Gov. Jim Gibbons to resign.
In fact, Gibbons hasn’t been in his Carson City office since a group called Guardians for a Free Republic sent notices to Gibbons and governors in other states to quit or it would quietly commandeer state offices.

Friday: Game 1Final score

Important decisions lie ahead with voters in the upcoming elections for several Carson City elected offices.

The Carson City Chamber of Commerce will hold two primary candidates forums April 12 and April 15, beginning at 6 p.m. at the Carson Nugget, 507 North Carson Street. The event is free and open to the public. WNC Professor Robert Morin will serve as moderator and ask each candidate a series of three questions. The audience will have the opportunity to weigh in.

CARSON CITY – If the idea that a $9.1 billion long-term unfunded liability in Nevada’s public employee pension plan is cause for concern, then a recent analysis by the American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy Research should really get the attention of state policy makers.

RENO -- Even after surging to an 8-3 lead in the first three innings, Damonte Ranch High softball coach Tierney Cahill knew there was no room to relax against Carson on Thursday afternoon.

RENO -- Carson High appeared to be in a good position going to the bottom of the third inning holding a 2-1 lead and with ace David Charles on the mound against Damonte Ranch on Thursday afternoon.
However, one infield error and a missed opportunity to cut down a run at the plate led to five unearned Damonte Ranch runs in that third inning and the Mustangs went on to post a 10-2 victory in the opener of a three-game Sierra League series.

RENO -- Six players collected multiple hits and the Carson High J.V. baseball team put together two big innings to secure a 10-4 Sierra League victory against Damonte Ranch on Thursday afternoon.

According to Gerie Stanko, director of development for F.I.S.H., "A smoldering electrical fire was discovered at 7:20 this morning at FISH's men's shelter, Focus House, on State of Nevada property in Carson City.

"Twenty-one male residents in the shelter have been displaced. Red Cross will provide 2-4 days of lodging. The fire inspector said that the building has to be re-wired which could exceed 30 days.

The Carson Valley Trails Association (CVTA) is making plans for the fourth annual Hike for Health fundraiser for the Genoa Foothill Trail System project.

Despite coming out with advantages in back-to-back series against Sierra League opponents the last two weekends, there is still no room for the Carson High softball team to rest.
Now, the Senators (5-4 league, 6-6 overall) face a big challenge against league-leading Damonte Ranch in a three-game series that begins on Thursday afternoon in Reno. The teams open with a 3:30 p.m. single game at Damonte Ranch, then move over to Carson for a doubleheader at 10 a.m. on Saturday.

CARSON CITY – Nevada has crafted the proper policies of low taxes and small government that has helped it weather the current recession, and these same policies have positioned the state to respond favorably when the economic recovery takes hold, according to a report released today by the American Legislative Exchange Council.

RENO – Every chance is a stepping stone to Nate White's ultimate goal – becoming a Major League Baseball umpire.
So when White, a 2003 Carson High graduate, received the chance to umpire behind the plate in Tuesday night's exhibition game between the Reno Aces and the University of Nevada at Aces Ballpark, White jumped at the opportunity. But White wasn't wide eyed at all as he conducted himself like he belonged.
