Carson City District Attorney Neil Rombardo, in conjunction with the Carson City Sheriff's Office and other city agencies, kicked off an effort today to battle abuse of elderly and vulnerable citizens.

Speaking at the Carson City Senior Center, Rombardo related his own positive experiences with his grandmother as a motivation for the effort to make sure senior citizens in this community have access to help to escape abusive situations.

Here is the Carson City area road construction report for Monday, July 26 through Sunday, Aug. 1. Expect some minor delays along the way.

CARSON CITY – A dozen Nevada government entities spent more than $1.7 million taxpayer dollars last year to hire lobbyists in Washington, DC and have racked up nearly $400,000 in expenses in the first quarter of this year, according to data gathered by the national group Center for Responsive Politics.

If you have taken part in the events going on in downtown Carson City this summer — such as the Friday night concerts on 3rd Street or the farmer’s market on Saturday mornings — then you have witnessed the Curry Street Promenade in action.

Though most would agree that the events are a great benefit for our downtown, the process by which this project came about is a strange one, tainted with managerial missteps, missing budgets and political indifference.

Celebrating Nevada's rich American Indian culture is a new exhibit at the Nevada State Museum in Carson City called "What Continues the Dream: Contemporary Arts and Crafts from the Powwow Tradition."
This colorful exhibit, featured now through Aug. 7, was developed by the Folklife Program of the Nevada Arts Council and presents art and crafts that capture the vibrant spirit of the contemporary powwow, Nevada-style.

One of Lake Tahoe’s most notable cultural events will take place at the Valhalla Arts, Music and Theatre Festival the weekend of July 24 and 25 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The Wa She Shu It Deh Native American Festival is a rare cultural event for families taking place on the grounds of the Valhalla Grand Hall with a basket weaving competition, native film festival, traditional dance, native artists, performers and much more.

Thursday night the Carson Mall was filled with people, cars, good food and rock & roll music for the Silver Dollar Cruise Night. It was a blast. The event ran from 6 pm to 8 pm. There was no fee for spectators. If you weren’t able to make it out to Thursday night’s event, there will be two other Silver Dollar Cruise Nights before the Annual Carson City Silver Dollar Car Classic, July 22 at the Carson Mall & July 29 at the Plaza Hotel & Conference Center both from 6 pm to 8 pm. The Annual Carson City Silver Dollar Car Classic will be from July 30th through Aug. 1st.

Here is the Carson City area road construction report for Monday, July 19, to Sunday, July 25.

 The Roop Street widening project will continue and is expected to be completed by the end of of the year. The following impacts are expected for the Carson City area in the coming week:

— Roop Street is closed to through traffic from William Street to Robinson Street.  This closure is expected to last through early September, but business access will be provided.

The Carson City Board of Supervisors yesterday suspended the redevelopment incentive loans for small downtown businesses, putting an end (at least for now) to the oft-criticized program.

Instead, the supervisors wish to focus more on infrastructure, and possibly on bigger projects (hello Carson City Center AKA Nugget Project). And this change doesn't effect funds used for special events, like the Curry Street Promenade or Nevada Day.
