WEDNESDAY:

Carson City Health and Human Services is reporting a steady increase of positive Influenza flu cases. Overall, Carson City, Lyon and Douglas counties saw 27 cases testing positive for influenza.

About 59 percent of those tested were positive for Influenza strain B, which is a slightly higher percentage of this specific strain than was seen in previous years at this time. CCHHS encourages providers to continue to report positive influenza testing to the Health Department as it helps to monitor influenza activity.

Have a great Wednesday, Carson City. I want to remind you that Valentine’s Day is quickly approaching, so make your dinner reservations soon if you are planning a night out. Enjoy some lunchtime live music with Dave Leather at Comma Coffee. Dinner music can be found at Glen Eagles, Crossroads Lounge, and Living the Good Life. The hot ticket in town tonight is the Carson High Annual Talent Show. Head over to the Community Center to be impressed by the talented students we have here.

WEDNESDAY:

As Carson City residents prepare to welcome 2016, there is something to be said about the annual tradition of making New Year’s resolutions.

The practice can be traced back to ancient Babylon, where Babylonians would make promises to their gods to pay their debts and return borrowed objects at the start of every new year. The concept of making a new year resolution is now widely practiced today around the world.

Unfortunately, the world has a history of breaking New Year’s resolutions about as long as it does of making them.

Please join local artists who will offer their hand made, natural products and gifts to the community. Such Artists are Kathy Bliss with Gifts from Gaia, Karen Fillmore with Exquisite Handmade Journals and cards, Donna Dunfield and her beautiful handmade gemstone jewelry, Betty Franklin with intuitive card readings, and several others are joining this group every other week.

They offer many services and gifts for those who are looking for something unique to share with their loved ones or you may want to purchase something for yourself.
