Deer

Spin-outs, fender-benders and icy streets have kept Carson City law officers, fire and rescue and city road crews busy today as the first wave of a wet winter storm has arrived.

The most recent accident tonight appears to be the most serious. It was reported at 8:10 p.m. and involves three vehicles that were in an apparent head-on collision in the area of Dump Hill in Carson City. Fire and rescue crews, paramedics, the Nevada Highway Patrol and Carson City sheriff's deputies have responded.

So now it seems we will be able to shoot bears for sport in Nevada.

And as usual, both sides in this debate trotted out rationale that makes no sense.

There is a fundraiser for Jonah Navarro, a local youth battling brain cancer on Wednesday, Nov. 10, beginning 5:30 p.m. at the Twisted Spoke, on the corner of Highway 50 and Deer Run Road in Carson City.

There will be music to dance or pool games to enjoy along with the very best best hamburgers in town.

With multiple surgeries, medical procedures, out of state travel and living expenses, the amounts needed for his care are overwhelming. So come support this fundraiser to help their family!

Just because you can’t get enough, more pictures of the deer that roam around on the west side. You can see more photos like this at aroundcarson.com.

Carson City Manager Larry Werner told the Board of Supervisors today that they are hoping to wrap up work on cost estimates for the city's portion of the Nugget Project by the end of the day.

Werner said that these cost estimates would determine if they had a feasible project or not, compared with the funding that would be provided by a 1/8 cent sales tax increase and tax increment financing.

He told the board that the results would be presented to the citizen's committee, whose next meeting is tentatively scheduled for Sept. 27.

Conservation-minded residents, students, family and friends are encouraged to join the annual cleanup along the banks of the Carson River, Brunswick Canyon and Prison Hill Recreation Area on Saturday as part of the 17th National Public Lands Day.

With several serious traffic accidents that have occurred on Highway 50 at Mound House, the Nevada Highway Patrol announced today that it will begin an enhanced enforcement program starting Monday, Sept. 6.

NHP will place additional resources to Mound House for this directed enforcement assignment "in order to curtail this disturbing trend," according to an NHP press statement.

You can always tell when summer arrives in Carson City — that's when Nevada's official state tree, the orange traffic cone, starts sprouting up all over town.
