As every schoolchild knows, Sam Clemens first used the byline Mark Twain on February 3, 1863, while a reporter for the Territorial Enterprise in Virginia City.

What's not so well known is that he took the name, not as a tribute to the river pilot Captain Sellers (as he wrote in "Life on the Mississippi") but from his facetious way of calling out additions to his bar tab.

The Nevada Bighorns summer collegiate baseball team is gearing up for another season in which the Carson City-based club will again bring high level play to the area.

Two Carson Valley men face several charges, including felony offering of a controlled substance, following a sting set up by authorities on Craigslist to lure people to an underage party at a Carson City hotel.

An advertisement had been placed on Craigslist by Carson City sheriff's deputies that called for drinks at a party given by an 18-year-old. According to the arrest report, two 18-year-old decoys had been communicating with one of the suspects, who said that he would bring marijuana to the party.

A 28-year-old California man was arrested and faces felony fraud charges after he allegedly passed two phony $100 bills in exchange for a motorcycle for sale on Craigslist.

Deputies were dispatched to the Jack in the Box on South Carson Street on Saturday. The victim told officers that he had placed a motorcycle for sale on Craigslist and was contacted by the suspect who said he would buy the bike for $200.

A meeting took place at the Jack in the Box and the suspect gave the victim the fake bills and the bike was exchanged, according to the arrest report.

The Carson City Parks and Recreation Department is asking local residents to participate in an online survey to assess the community’s future indoor recreation and sports needs.

This survey is the first step in evaluating the need for new indoor recreation space. The online survey takes about two minutes to complete and is being done through a survey program called “Surveymonkey.”

The online survey will be available for the public to fill out beginning Wednesday morning, May 5 and will end on Friday afternoon, May 14. The survey will be available in both English and Spanish.

Now that all of the preliminaries are out of the way, the Carson High swimming and diving team is ready to focus on the final three weeks of its season -- the High Desert League, Northern 4A Regional and NIAA state championship meets.

A chance at winning the Scenic West Athletic Conference regular season title seems to be slipping away, but Western Nevada College baseball coach D.J. Whittemore isn't giving up hope, yet.

CSI swept a doubleheader against WNC on Saturday in Twin Falls, Idaho, winning the opener 6-3 and the nightcap 14-7. WNC was tied with CSI 3-3 going into the bottom of the fifth inning in the opener and led 7-5 in the nightcap.

It was a demonstration of what could have been. But it also showed what might could be.

Colby Blueberg provided six solid innings on the mound for the win as the Carson High baseball team went on to salvage the final game of a three-game series against Manogue, beating the Miners in the nightcap of a doubleheader 10-5 on Saturday at Ron McNutt Field. Carson lost the opener 14-7.
