The Virginia & Truckee Railroad will extend its 2010 season to include new “Colors in the Canyon” train rides and will continue Saturday rides through Dec. 18.

The “Sisters in History Route” between Carson City and Virginia City was set to operate through Oct. 31, Nevada Day but due to popular demand as evidenced by many sold-out weekends, the season has been expanded for an additional six weeks, officials announced today.

CARSON CITY – If a list of bills requested for drafting for the 2011 legislative session released today is any indication, a lot of lawmakers are concerned about people who use cell phones while driving.
Of the 152 bill draft requests submitted so far, mostly by lawmakers, three deal with cell phone use in vehicles: two to prohibit texting and a third to “restrict cell phone use” while driving.

CARSON CITY – The director overseeing Nevada’s stimulus programs will remain in his current position rather than accept the job of executive director of the Office of Veterans Services, Gov. Jim Gibbons has announced.
Gibbons had earlier this week appointed Charles Harvey to head up the veterans services office starting at the end of July.
But in a letter to the Gibbons administration dated Thursday, Harvey requested that he remain in the position overseeing Nevada’s American Reinvestment and Recovery Act (ARRA) programs.

The Las Vegas Review-Journal is reporting tonight that Charles Harvey, Nevada's economic stimulus coordinator who Gov. Jim Gibbons hired in September amid objections from the Nevada Legislature, has resigned.
Gibbons says he plans to hire a replacement for the $125,783 annual-salaried position.

CARSON CITY – Gov. Jim Gibbons today announced the appointment of Charles Harvey as executive director of the Nevada Office of Veterans Services. Harvey currently serves as Nevada’s American Reinvestment and Recovery Act (ARRA) director.

While support grows for extending the empowerment school program in Nevada, disagreements remain as to what causes the program to be successful, and whether the program would work without the $600 in additional funding per student that empowerment schools have been given in the past.

Two Nevada-based programs have been recognized by the federal government for having led the nation in efficiently using at least $18 million in federal stimulus money for energy projects, the Governor's Office has reported.
The Nevada State Office of Energy and the Nevada Housing Division have received letters from the U.S. Department of Energy commending their efforts at leading the nation by quickly and efficiently infusing federal American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds within Nevada communities. 

The Western Nevada College baseball team took care of business on Friday.

Kyle Conwell was happy to be reunited with his Western Nevada College baseball "family" this week. The feeling was certainly mutual on Friday afternoon when the Wildcats came together to bang out 29 hits while sweeping Colorado Northwestern Community College 11-2 and 15-1 during a Scenic West Athletic Conference doubleheader at John L. Harvey Field.

For a team that's been struggling, this went about as well as could be.
The Western Nevada College baseball team rolled to a 10-2 win over the Reno Astros semipro team on Tuesday at John L. Harvey Field. The Wildcats were able to schedule the game to make up for a rained out game early in the season and the contest couldn't have come at a better time for a club that has lost six of its last games.

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.
 
The season is less than a month away with opening day set for Saturday, May 29. The Bighorns will host the San Francisco Seals at 5 p.m. at John L. Harvey Field. The Bighorns will then play a doubleheader against the Seals, beginning at 10 a.m. Sunday, May 30, at John L. Harvey Field.

It's a no-brainer. Drudge through another intrasquad scrimmage or play one of Northern Nevada's top baseball teams.
With one of its games rained out early in the season, the Western Nevada College baseball team has always had one contest it could make up and when the chance came to play the Reno Astros semipro baseball team, the Wildcats jumped at the chance.
 
WNC will host the Astros at 3 p.m. Tuesday at John L. Harvey Field. The game will help the Wildcats prepare for a crucial series against Colorado Northwestern Community College.

There's still plenty of buzz over what happened this past weekend at John L. Harvey Field when the Western Nevada College baseball team pulled off a four-game sweep of College of Southern Nevada.

It's been a long road back, but the Western Nevada College baseball team has now gained an inside track to the Scenic West Athletic Conference regular season championship with three weeks to go.

How else to explain the Western Nevada College baseball team's four-game sweep of College of Southern Nevada this weekend. After two improbable comebacks in which WNC beat CSN in its final at bat both times 5-3 and 6-5 in 11 innings on Friday, the Wildcats did it again.

To beat any conference leader, a team needs to bring its "A" Game to the field. Make that "A-plus" if you want to beat a team that is ranked No. 2 in the nation, and even then, it still doesn't hurt to have a little luck on your side.
The Western Nevada College baseball team was successful on both of those counts Friday afternoon to beat College of Southern Nevada twice on the last pitch of the game during a Scenic West Athletic Conference showdown.

A daunting task awaits the Western Nevada College baseball team when instate rival College of Southern Nevada comes to John L. Harvey Field this weekend.
CSN is the nation's No. 1 ranked team and has a three-game lead over the Wildcats in the race for the Scenic West Athletic Conference regular season title. The first place Coyotes are 21-3 in the SWAC while WNC (30-9) is 18-6.
 

There is no more reality at John L. Harvey Field. Just rename the place Fantasyland and be done with it. Only the utterly impossible, the ridiculously implausible will ever be possible again.

Thanks to a rejuvenated offense, Western Nevada College climbed back into the Scenic West Athletic Conference baseball pennant race on Friday

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.

It's a case of where the Western Nevada College baseball team hopes it's de ja vu all over again.

"I feel like I'm in the twilight zone," said Western Nevada College baseball coach D.J. Whittemore after his team dropped a doubleheader on Saturday at John L. Harvey Field.

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

Another historic moment will happen on Friday when the Western Nevada College baseball team will play its first tripleheader ever at John L. Harvey Field.

The road warriors that are the Western Nevada College baseball team are finally coming home to their fans and their field.

What would a Scenic West Athletic Conference and home opening series for the Western Nevada College baseball team be without having to deal with weather?
