ANGEL LAKE, ELKO COUNTY, NEV:
The Nevada Department of Wildlife (www.ndow.org) reports: The road is open, but there is still a LOT of snow around the lake. The lake is about 80% ice covered with some fishable water. Unfortunately, there is enough snow on the ice, you can't tell what is safe and what isn't. With this week's warm temps and some wind, next weekend may be a different story.

Well, I do believe Summer is here! Wooo-Hooo!

Last week, Kevin Law of Carson City and I joined Gene (“Gino”) St. Denis of South Lake Tahoe, California for a morning of Mackinaw (Lake) Trout fishing at Lake Tahoe.

Gene is a longtime, good, personal friend and he is a premier sport fishing guide at South Lake Tahoe, known as Blue Ribbon Charters, 530-544-6552. He has fished Tahoe for some thirty years (the last twelve years as a fishing guide) and is one of the top, if not the top, guides at that lake.

Nevadans will be barred from texting while driving, allowed to order food in smoking bars, and spared from a hike in their utility bills after Gov. Brian Sandoval finished processing bills from the...

CARSON CITY – On deadline day for Gov. Brian Sandoval to act on the remaining bills from the 2011 legislative session, measures extending existing taxes for two more years, authorizing the creation of a toll road around Boulder City and banning the use of hand-held cell phones while driving were all approved.

The Carson City Board of Supervisors meeting kicks off at 8:30 a.m. The full agenda is here, and you can watch the live video here.

Among the issues up for discussion is a proposal to change the lease agreement for the Eagle Valley Golf Course to reduce the annual payments due to the city by Carson City Municipal Golf Corporation, the entity that runs the facility. Instead of the current $120,000 annual payment, the reduction would call for CCMGC to pay $30,000 this year and 2012, $60,000 in 2013, and return to paying $120,000 per year through 2029.

In the recent past, operators of two privately owned golf courses have expressed their displeasure with the city for subsidizing the operations at Eagle Valley, creating what they view as unfair competition.

Also on the agenda is approval for distributing $108,623 in Redevelopment funds for a variety community events including Nevada Day and the downtown farmers market.

Yesterday was a bright sunny day in the beautiful city of San Francisco. I went to the Giants game with a press pass in my hand, excited for my chance to cover a Major League Baseball game. Little did I know that this day was going to be a humbling experience for me. 

SAN FRANCISCO- AT&T Park 'magic' took a day off as the San Francisco Giants' (36-29) ace Tim Lincecum (5-5) was chewed up and spit out by the Cincinnati Reds (34-32) who beat the Giants 10-2 on Saturday afternoon in front of 41,725 fans at AT&T Park (30th consecutive sell-out). Lincecum failed to record an out in the fifth inning in which he was relieved by Guillermo Mota.

With enough cannon fire, frontier food and Wild West living history to pack a weekend's worth of activities, the 28th annual Carson City Rendezvous continues today, tonight and through Sunday at Mills Park in Carson City.

The Carson City Rendezvous is noted for portraying the lifestyle of early Nevada settlers, with a host of gun skirmishes, mountain man encampments and trapping demonstrations. This year the main demonstration of the Civil War-era gun battles has been moved from afternoon to dusk to better capture the backdrop of live-fire, rounds shot from muskets and cannons.
