RENO — What happens when you take some mixed-up lovers, a mischievous sprite, a fairy queen and a fool, then shake them all up with a good dose of Lady Gaga and drop them into an apocalyptic modern-day Athens? You end up with a contemporary production of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” that just goes to show how much of a timeless classic this Shakespeare play really is.

Saturday, Oct. 16 is Carson City Community Flu Vaccination Day, with vaccines offered to the community at no cost.
It is the seventh year for the program. Last year, there were 8,000 seasonal flu shots given and 21,000 H1N1 shots administered, health officials said.
Approximately 5,000 of the doses have been ordered and will be ready to administer on Oct. 16, said Susan Pintar, county health officer.
There will be three locations for the free community vaccination day, which will run from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. They are:
— Walk-through at the Carson City Senior Center, 911 Beverly Drive

With a goal of 300 drivers, Capital Ford's Drive One 4UR School was on par Saturday to raise $6,000 for Carson High School athletic programs.

More than 300 Carson City residents took a test drive of 12 Ford 2010 and 2011 model cars and trucks at the Carson High School parking lot Saturday to support the girls soccer and basketball teams.

"Carson City once again continues to show its true spirit as a community by getting behind fundraising events such as Drive One 4UR School," said Tim Milligan, general manager for Capital Ford in Carson City.

Keeping hydrated with plenty of water is important during exercise. Here are some things to think about:

• Light physical activity requires at least 7 to 10 glasses of water per day, plus the fluid you get in your daily food consumption. Additional water should be ingested for your body to function properly during hot weather exercise.

• Vegetables and fruits are about 80 percent water, bread 35 percent, and rice or pasta dishes contain around 70 percent water. You can see that ingesting too little water is seldom a problem, unless you are participating in heavy physical activity.

A 5K walk/run will be held in Dayton on Saturday Oct. 23 to raise money for the Dayton Resource Bank. This “bank” is available to all students at our Dayton schools who are in need of resources that cannot be taken care of by their parents or the school.
The “bank” covers anything from class fees to school clothes and shoes. Referrals are accepted from third parties such as coaches, clergy, or school nurses, counselors, and teachers.

Ford Motor Company and Capital Ford in Carson City are partnering to help raise money in support of Carson High School as part of Ford’s Drive One 4 UR School program.

Members of the local Carson City community will have the opportunity to raise up to $6,000 for Carson High School by test driving a Ford vehicle at Carson High School on October 2 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Please help our program raise funds to start new students eager to learn English. We have so far helped over 400 adults:
Saturday, October 9th, from 8am to 6pm, Mike’s Mobile Oil will be hosting an "Oil Change for a Cause" fundraiser and will donate 100% of their profits from this event to the ESL In-Home Program of Northern Nevada to purchase the needed teaching materials for their program to continue.

CARSON CITY – If there is one thing near and dear to the hearts of many Nevadans, it is the pronunciation of the name of their state.
For most Nevadans, it is pronounced Ne-vaaa-da. The middle syllable rhymes with glad. It is not pronounced Ne-vah-da. And many Nevadans don’t mind letting people know when they err.
