Federal Judge issues Temporary Restraining Order against Douglas County regarding Vacation Home Rental Permit Holders, Residents

CARSON CITY — Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval issued the following statement Friday regarding the 2019-2021 budget building process and priorities:

Jordan Caroline and Caleb Martin each scored 19 points as the 12-0 Nevada Wolf Pack held on for a 68-62 victory over the Akron Zips on Saturday night in their last contest of 2018, but it wasn’t without some familiar consternation.

Akron came into Lawlor Events Center with the NCAA’s 18th ranked scoring defense, limiting opponents to 39 percent from the floor and 31 percent from distance. Their record included four losses, but only by a combined 12 points.

Carson City emergency crews are returning to the intersection of Koontz Lane and South Carson Street, responding to a second two-vehicle accident at that intersection Saturday afternoon.

According to arriving Sheriff's deputies, one vehicle appears to have T-boned another at the intersection.

Traffic on both Koontz Lane and South Carson Street are affected as Koontz is closed to southbound Carson Street traffic, which is being diverted onto South Curry Street.

No reports of any injuries at this time.

UPDATE: 2:35PM: Care Flight did land momentarily on South Carson Street, but the patient declined air transport and instead is being transported via ground ambulance to Renown Regional Medical Center in Reno.
The victim's condition and the extent of their injuries is unknown.
Meanwhile, the northbound lands of South Carson Street have been reopened. Southbound lanes remain closed between Moses and Koontz. Traffic control measures remain in place at Moses and Curry, as well as Koontz and Curry.

With the exception of "the birds and the bees," there is probably no more sensitive topic to discuss with our children than the existence of Santa Claus.

For the record, I believe in Santa Claus. Yup, I do.

Bid farewell to Autumn, because today is the first full day of Winter.

This is also the last weekend before Christmas Day, which means the last Santa Trains of the season at the Nevada Railroad Museum. Santa Claus also leaves his North Pole headquarters at the Carson Mall Sunday in preparation for his big night.

On Thursday December 13, 2018 at approximately 8:15 p.m., two Washoe Tribe Police Department Officers were dispatched to a domestic disturbance on the Dresslerville Community located in Douglas County.

The Christmas season can be difficult for children in foster care. For some, it may be the first Christmas not spent with their families. For others, it is just one more Christmas in the child welfare system.

A 21-year-old transient man was charged with 19 counts of violating conditions of bail release after calling a victim he was ordered to have no contact with a total of 19 times while in custody at the Carson City Jail.

Join park staff for a hike on Wednesday, Jan. 1 — the first day of 2019 — at Washoe Lake State Park, East Lake Blvd. in Washoe Valley, from 1-2:30 p.m.

Carson City and Douglas County emergency crews are on scene of a single vehicle crash that occurred about three miles west of Spooner Junction up U.S. Highway 50 toward Lake Tahoe Thursday night.

The vehicle is reported to be blocking the No. 1 eastbound travel lane.

An ambulance is on scene. Extent of injuries is unknown.

Reader Mike Cowan sent in this photo of our local wild horses who are for some reason deciding to walk through Washoe Lake on their Thursday commute.

The lake has been slowly emptying the last few months due to the dryer conditions, and apparently the horses are taking advantage of the shallows.

Swimmers should take note: you should always yield to swimming livestock because it’s more polite than cutting through the aquatic equestrian’s here.

Live music featuring Blu' Jaz is scheduled for Jan. 4-5 and 18-19 from 7-9 p.m. at Bella Fiore Wines, 224 S. Carson Street in Carson City.
