The nights are chilly but the fall days still warm up nicely (usually), In Carson City. Treadway Park is a quiet small gem of a park next to the Carson Tahoe Care Center (The "old" hospital ) and Carson Behavioral Health.

The park is close to where William Street ends west at Minnesota. Easy parking access is at 775 Fleischmann Street next to the hospital. Treadway Park is named in honor of a pioneer Carson City man, Aaron Treadway, who had a 10-acre ranch at this location.

Hello fellow anglers. Now that our evening daylight is getting shorter, take advantage of as much fishing time you can get. On the bright side, on Dec. 22, the days will start getting longer by 1 minute each day. Also remember that you have until Saturday, Nov. 15, to get in your last bit of fishing on the California rivers and streams as the season will come to a close.

There will be some areas on the Carson River and the American River that is open to fishing all year long with restrictions of zero limit and a barbless hook. Check your regulations for these areas.

Happy Friday, Carson City! I am once again pleased to bring you the event list that is featured on my Facebook page, I love Carson City.

Some people in Carson City don't realize there was a small pioneer town named Empire just east of Carson. In the photo background Carson City is visible. Empire, Nevada was a milling town, where large steam driven stamping mills used Carson River water to help break down Virginia City ore so the silver and gold could be removed.

Mercury was used in the silver and gold removal process, and the removal of mercury used is still an issue today. In this photo local school teacher Jean Shawna is looking over some of the pioneer headstones.

The Comstock Foundation for History and Culture has established a paramount goal of “enabling a sustainable network economy and culture by preserving and elevating the uniqueness of the Comstock Lode experience.”

The Foundation was created to subordinate to the needs of the district, some critically urgent if not already in an emergency state. The Foundation is only a small cog in a larger network of people and organizations that love this territory and where collaboration, not conflict, provides the hope of a lasting legacy of the great past.

In a recent “letter” published in CarsonNow.org Pamela Abercrombie decried the negative reaction of Silver City and Gold Hill residents to the Comstock Foundation’s fund-raising gambit offering prints of the “Nine Cheers for the Silver State” painting to subscribers. In characterizing critics of the painting as “this handful of local residents,” she echoes a favorite tactic of Corrado de Gasperis, Comstock Mining’s CEO who frequently diminishes the legitimate concerns of residents by portraying CMI critics as “a few disgruntled residents” or the like.

Here is this week's fishing report for rivers, lakes and streams in Nevada and California. The last day of fishing season for most waterways in California is Nov. 15, 2014.

Editor,
I read with interest Pam Abercrombie's recent letter about Comstock Mining Inc and the Foundation it funds.

To an outsider the Comstock Foundation for History and Culture looks like a public relations effort, window dressing to distract attention from their continuing destruction of the Virginia City National Historic Landmark by the pit mining now underway in Gold Hill and threatening Silver City.

As a resident of Silver City, I am a proud board member of the Comstock Foundation for History and Culture. Born and raised in Carson City, I spent much of my youth on the Comstock. I focused much of my studies on Nevada and western history obtaining my undergraduate degree in history from the University of Nevada, Reno.

I was honored when asked to serve on the Foundation’s board and it has been incredibly rewarding to work with the Foundation during this exciting time for the Comstock Historic District.
