VIRGINIA CITY — Longtime Virginia City businessman Hugh Roy Marshall brings history to the airwaves and the Internet beginning Saturday.
Tales of Nevada Past and Present premieres at 1:00 p.m. PDT on 5,000-watt on the regional affiliate 1270-AM. The program will be available live to online listeners at www.KBZZ.com. The on-air talk line is (775) 823-1920.

"The rich future of Virginia City and the legacy of the legendary Comstock Lode cannot be fully realized without a continuing focus on all the things that led us here," Marshall says.

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.

Erratic behavior led to search of the suspect's Carson City apartment after he told a deputy that when 'you leave the desert, you leave with seven gods.'

The Nevada Commission on Tourism has updated its strategic plan for attracting visitors, combining cost-effective new initiatives and time-tested programs with proven track records, Lt. Gov. Brian K. Krolicki said Tuesday.

The agency (http://travelnevada.com) will target U.S. consumer markets that have large populations with convenient driving distance or easy air access to Nevada and international markets whose travelers have a strong likelihood of visiting Nevada, such as Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom and Germany, said Krolicki, Nevada's tourism commission chair.
