race

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.

It's time for the skinny skier, skiers, snowshoers and fit bodies race up the mountain in the Annual Billy Dutton Uphill, in honor of late local luminary, Billy Dutton. The original “run what ya brung” race is an uphill answer to the famous ‘Chinese Downhill’ of the 70s. Starting from the bottom of KT-22, the course climbs 2,000 vertical feet over 3.2 miles to the finish at High Camp, at 8,200 feet.
It's enough to take your breath away just thinking about it.
The Billy Dutton Uphill race is open to Nordic skiers, snowshoers, runners and outdoor enthusiasts of all ages.

Now that the Western Nevada College baseball team has taken over second place in the Scenic West Athleitc Conference, one could say that the Wildcats find themselves in a pennant race.
But WNC coach D.J. Whittemore isn' ready to declare his team is in a pennant race, yet. "It kind of feels like were chasing a ghost," said Whittemore about College of Southern Nevada.

WNC finished off a four-game sweep at Colorado Northwestern Community College on Saturday by winning both games of a doubleheader. The Wildcats won the opener 15-0 and then in a scheduled nine-inning game, had to score four runs in the ninth inning to pull out an 8-4 win.
The Wildcats (26-9) moved into second place in the Scenic West Athletic Conference after College of Southern Nevada took three of four games from Salt Lake Community College this weekend. WNC is 14-6 in the SWAC and trails CSN (17-3) by three games. Salt Lake fell to 12-7 in the SWAC.
  
 

Democrats still hold a lead in the total number of registered voters in Nevada, although Republicans hold majorities in 14 of the state's 17 counties.

While nothing can be taken for granted, there's no away around it. These are four wins the Western Nevada College baseball team is expected to pick up.
So when snow threatened to postpone one or both games on Friday at Colorado Northwestern Community College, the Wildcats had to be worried. These are wins that WNC needs in the Scenic West Athletic Conference and any games that are lost and not made up could obviously be costly in the SWAC race.

Nevada is preparing to compete in round two of the federal Race to the Top grant program. Only two states that applied, Tennessee and Delaware, received funding from the first phase of the competition.

These days, I get a chuckle when I see people engaging in philosophical debates over health care reform, or "socialized medicine" as opponents call it.

I understand and respect the positions of those who think government should not be a part of the health care system, that the free market will fix everything. It's an interesting philosophical position, but it faces the brick wall of reality.

Thanks to a rejuvenated offense, Western Nevada College climbed back into the Scenic West Athletic Conference baseball pennant race on Friday.
The Wildcats produced timely hitting to pull out a 3-1 opening-game victory against conference-leading Salt Lake Community College, then held on for a 9-8 win in the second game to complete a double header sweep on a sunny and breezy afternoon at John L. Harvey Field.

Carson High senior Richard Shroy had a chance to run with a high caliber field and came away with a personal record performance at the Stanfo

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE — Pencils down at Lake Tahoe. It’s time for Spring Break and outdoor recess is in session (http://www.TahoeSouth.com).

It seems like Gov. Jim Gibbons is officially jumping on the Tea Party bandwagon.

I've been wondering what was taking him so long.

Gibbons has been such a disaster that he might become the first sitting Nevada governor to lose a primary. His main challenger, Brian Sandoval, has raised five times more cash as Gibbons, and there are many who think this race has already been decided.

CARSON CITY – Thanks to term limits and decisions by some lawmakers not to seek re-election, at least 16 members of the Nevada Legislature will not be returning in 2011, and the number could end up being even higher after Election Day in November.
Sixteen lawmakers are termed out of office in the 2010 election cycle, but three so far have filed for different legislative offices and could return to the Legislature for the 2011 session.

CARSON CITY – Gov. Jim Gibbons on Wednesday will sign the “Race to the Top” bill allowing Nevada to compete for federal school improvement funds, a spokesman said today.

Let's face it, the pressure of the Scenic West Athletic Conference race goes from the first game to the last, so after the Western Nevada College baseball team already lost a game at home to a team
