The Crossroads Bar at Winnie Lane was burglarized this morning, with the cleaning person inside the business at the time they broke in, said Carson City Sheriff Ken Furlong.

The burglary happened at around 6:30 a.m., and involved two men, each wearing dark clothing and ski masks. They made entry, possibly using tools, gaining access through the back of the business at 300 east Winnie Lane across from Lone Mountain. Some evidence has been recovered, according to officers on scene. The cleaning person was not injured.

UPDATE: The following is from a Carson City Sheriff's Office news release issued early this morning. Deputies responded to Adam and Eve, located at 3220 Highway 50 E #1 for an armed robbery.

The suspect was described as five feet four inches to five feet eight inches tall with a stocky build. The suspect was wearing a dark colored hooded sweatshirt, light colored pants, black gloves, black shoes, and a dark colored bandana over his face.

Kayden went up to her mom one afternoon in October and stated, "Mom, I want to go the orphanage and donate presents and sing for all the kids." Robyn replied "I don't think that's how it works anymore, a lot of the kids live in foster homes, but I can find out about adopting a family." "That sounds great!" And so she did.

Christmas brings out the child in all of us. Unfortunately, sometimes, Christmas REALLY brings out the child in us. We see family we haven’t seen since we were children. We get presents. We eat until our bellies almost burst. And, true to form for the holiday season, at least one person will speak their mind.

Enjoy the holidays by taking a sleigh ride around Sand Harbor at Lake Tahoe or renting snow shoes to get down to the beach. The park restaurant will be open weekends for holiday drinks and snacks. Special meal and sleigh ride packages will be available as well.

‘Before It Was a Park’ History Talk

The 10th annual Holiday with a Hero was held Wednesday at Walmart in Carson City with 190 school children from kindergarten through fifth grade having a Christmas to call their own, thanks to the astounding response from Carson City donors and volunteers.

Nearly 300 volunteers were at the event to help the Carson City area school children shop at Walmart using gift cards paid for by donations from around the community. Each child was given a $100 gift card and paired with a "hero" to spend on clothing, shoes and a toy.

Here is the Nevada and Northern California fishing report for the week of Dec. 17, 2014. Some pretty big fish, 18 to 20 pounders, are being caught at Pyramid Lake as you'll see in the above photographs.

Holiday with a Hero is Wednesday and the Carson City community has pulled through in a big way and well within $1,000 of meeting its fundraising goal, organizers say.

In its 10th year, the project pairs Carson City school children with law enforcement officers, firefighters, members of the U.S. military and public officials. The event provides each child with gift cards to shop for things they need such as clothing and shoes as well as a toy to call their own.

After a long wait with much anticipation, I finally got a chance to take the new fat bike out for its first snow ride. Acting on a tip that there was good snow cover with several miles of snow machine tracks up near Carson Pass, I loaded the bike up in the car and headed up to Red Lake on Highway 88.
