Few people really understand the world that David Haynes lives in.

There's his family, his treatment team, and now Francisco Rodriguez, owner of the Tazmanian Boxing Club in Carson City.

Carson City’s rich and intriguing history is explored and theatrically relived in our seasonal evening walking tours, led by Madame Curry a ghostly, witty and fictional character named after the widow of Carson City’s founder, Abe Curry.

The Carson City Ghost Walks evening walking tours are a delightfully spooky and enjoyable way to experience Carson City’s Victorian Era and diverse history. Tours are this Saturday, July 9 and again on Saturday, July 23.

A 57-year-old woman faces a charge of felony larceny after she allegedly stole a medical walker from an elderly man who was shopping inside Walmart, a Carson City sheriff’s deputy said.

Popular culture sensationalizes the martial arts as inflicting pain, but the reality is that these ancient practices are more about internal healing than forms of defense.

Carson City has had many pedestrian involved crashes in recent years, with some of those resulting in tragedy. So far this year, there have been three pedestrian related fatalities in Carson City. In 2014 there was one fatality and in 2015 there was one.

In an age when consumers go through digital technology faster than a pair of socks, used video games are all too often discarded in favor of the latest and greatest versions. They become archaic within months after having once been cutting edge.

But Nick Posey reminds us that there's still hope for the old games. The owner of Retro Replay specializes in the sale, cleaning, and care of vintage used video games and equipment.

Toni Thompson has long had a love for the American West and its history. It shows both in the decor of her retail store and in the building she rents.

Thompson, owner of Eagle Mountain Trading Post at 110 S. Curry Street in Carson City, said she couldn't be happier running her business out of the historic structure that once served as a freight depot, livery and Overland Stage stop back in the early days of the Nevada state capital.

No deficit is too large for the Western Nevada College Wildcats. WNC fell behind College of Southern Nevada, 5-0, in the second inning of the Region 18 baseball championship on Saturday afternoon in Henderson but rallied with six runs in the final two innings to overtake the Coyotes, 11-9.

A 37-year-old minimum security inmate walked away from an outside work crew Wednesday at around 1 p.m. in downtown Carson City, according to the Nevada Department of Corrections.

Addiction does not discriminate. It grabs ahold and tightens, oftentimes prompting even the most reasonable-seeming people to do unreasonable things to feed it.

Wine walks are falling on downtown, possibly with some raindrops on your head, as well. The monthly Downtown Business Association’s monthly Wine Walk pays no heed to what the weather serves up. Start the day at the opening Spring Farmers Market right behind Due Sorella, then stick around to sign yourself, your Mother, your friends, family and neighbors up for the Kentucky Derby/Mother’s Day Weekend Wine Walk.

Noa Talia blasted two home runs to help the Wildcats take the second game, 12-9.

While his batting average has languished for most of the season, Western Nevada College sophomore catcher Sam Salyers' work ethic has not.

Extra batting practice paid off for Salyers on Friday afternoon as his two-run single was the difference in the Wildcats' 3-2 baseball victory over Utah State University Eastern at John L. Harvey Field in Carson City.

Western Nevada College and Salt Lake Community College went 10 innings before WNC topped Salt Lake, 3-2, in game one of the weekend's four game series.

Carson City’s Juvenile Probation department graduated a dozen local youth, ages 12 to 18 serving probation sentences of varying lengths, from the Entrepreneur Mentorship Program this week.

Gotta believe! Those were the words of encouragement from coach Leah Wentworth that Western Nevada College took to heart after falling behind 13th-ranked College of Southern Idaho 4-3 in the top of the eighth inning on Friday at Pete Livermore Sports Complex in Carson City.

Rivalry weekend got off to an uplifting start for the Western Nevada College Wildcats on Friday. Bailey Henderson and Makaylee Jaussi socked two-run doubles and Briauna Carter launched a three-run homer as WNC won the Scenic West Athletic Conference softball series opener with a 10-3 victory in Carson City.

Try describing the Silver State Tag without sounding like an infomercial. It simply cannot be done. With all the extra gear and services a person can win you are constantly saying the phrase, “but wait, there’s more!”

The Silver State Tag already allows hunters the opportunity to hunt one of four big game species (mule deer, Rocky Mountain elk, Nelson (desert) bighorn sheep and pronghorn antelope) anywhere in the state, but the winner also walks away with thousands of dollars’ worth of hunting gear and services.
