Dayton, Nev. — When the PGA Tour changed the qualifying process in 2013 to make the Web.com Tour the primary avenue to PGA Tour membership, the move was met with surprise, concerns and speculation. Now with two seasons in the books and the third Web.com Tour Q-school process underway for the 2016 season, it has proven to be a very good decision for both Tours and the players.

With players competing in a full season of Web.com Tour tournaments, the 50 who earn a PGA Tour spot each year are Tour battle-tested and ready and able to compete at the highest level.

This is a 6 week class for those who are brand new to yoga. Class size is limited to allow for personal attention. We will take yoga slow, and learn about fundamentals. Learn about your core (what the heck does that mean, anyway?) and how to move more efficiently in order to prevent injury.

You will learn how to move in and out of basic poses, and learn a few classic introductory yoga postures. We will include elements of strength, stretching, balance, and breath.

With a fourth year of drought and spring temperatures climbing, Carson City residents are urged to be fire safe. May is Nevada Wildfire Awareness Month and as conditions continue to dry, and the number of windy days begin to increase, the potential threat of wildfire grows.

Protecting your home starts with you. The wildfire season is here. This Saturday and Sunday, the Carson City Fire Department will hold two events designed for homeowners to prepare for the season.

There will be a Community Open House, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Like it or hate it, social media is the most effective way to advertise. Some local businesses don’t use their computers effectively to reach out to new customers and keep current customers coming into their business.

If you can email, you can reach out to customers. Let them know the special of the day, the launch of a new product or just remind them now and then you are there and welcome their business.

Not all businesses need to have a web presence, but they do need to learn how to build and maintain a Facebook Page and Twitter.

Mayor Bob Crowell will join more than 1,800 mayors across the country for the third annual Mayors Day of Recognition for National Service, a nationwide bipartisan effort to highlight the impact of national service in tackling city problems.

Carson City residents have two more chances to chime in about the city's strategic plan. You can fill out a survey here or attend the last public open house, Monday, March 30, at the Carson City Community Center Sierra Room, 851 East William Street from noon to 2 p.m. and 5 to 7 p.m.

Over the past year, the Board of Supervisors, management, and staff of Carson City have developed a draft strategic plan to help guide future investments and priorities.

What happened at the Common Core Forum in Carson City on 1/13/15

The ground rules agreed to by both sides for the two forums: two people would participate on each side of the issue. The pro side would contain two policy makers from either the Nevada Department of Education (NDE) or the Nevada State Board of Education; the con side would contain Drs. Stotsky and Milgram. Drs. Stotsky and Milgram were the only two members of Common Core’s Validation Committee who are content area specialists and who have also written high K-12 standards.

The Carson City Board of Supervisors is seeking applications from persons interested in serving on the Carson City Open Space Advisory Committee and the Redevelopment Authority Citizens Committee.

There are two open positions “Citizen-at-Large” and “Business Operator or Property Owner" for the Redevelopment Authority Citizens Committee. Each for terms that will expire Jan. 1, 2018.

Dr. Sandra Stotsky, Endowed Chair in Teacher Quality at the University of Arkansas’s Department of Education Reform and Chair of the Sadlier Mathematics Advisory Board, along with Dr. James Milgram, Emeritus Professor at Stanford University’s Department of Mathematics, will be speaking about why Common Core is not good for our children or our country, at events in Carson City, Fallon and Reno, on January 13th and 14th.

New York, New York New Year's Eve Dinner Party at Mallards at Empire Ranch Golf Course.

Gourmet dinner, dancing and champagne plus noise makers and, of course, kissing with the ball drop in New York City Times Square (Doors open at 5:00pm with the ball drop at 9pm our time)

Our dinner starts with hors d'oeuvres of Select Imported Cheeses and Crackers, Entrée: Certified Black Angus Prime Rib, and Chicken Piccata, Garlic mashed potatoes, garlic bread, vegetable medley. For dessert Tiramisu

$35 per person includes dinner & glass of champagne when the ball drops.

We are very fortunate to have Dr. Sandra Stotsky and Dr. James Milgram, the most qualified people on the Common Core Validation Committee, coming to northern Nevada for three public events.

They were the only two people on the committee who are content area specialists and who have written high K-12 standards; Dr. Stotsky English Lanugage Arts Massachusetts, Dr. Milgram math California.

The two of them plus three others on the committee would not sign off on Common Core. Both Stotsky and Milgram are for national standards but they both oppose Common Core.

Join the Carson City Classic Cinema Club on Tuesday, Dec. 2 at Red's Old 395 Grill for a screening of "Holiday Affair."
Just before Christmas, department store clerk Steve Mason meets big spending customer Connie Ennis, really a commercial spy. He unmasks her but lets her go, which gets him fired. They end up on a date, which doesn’t sit well with Connie’s steady suitor, Carl, but delights her son Timmy, who doesn’t want Carl for a step-dad. Starring Robert Mitchum and Janet Leigh.

CC Ballot 1 is pretty simple. If this ballot question is adopted, it would affect only the June primary for supervisors. It has no effect on any November general election. In short, the purpose of the June primary then, would be to nominate; and, the purpose of the November general, would be to elect.

Good Morning, Carson City! Many people in our area have facebook accounts, but not everyone, so I am pleased to bring you the event list that is featured on my facebook page, I love Carson City.

Every week (for the last two years) I have scoured the internet, followed the pages of local businesses and organizations, searched website calendars, and compiled a list of anything and everything going on in this community.

Costco General Manager Bob Tote generously donated 900 1-gallon multi-color mum plants to beautify the downtown and create a splash of color to the medians and other areas that could use a bit of color. Carson City Parks and Recreation was the recipient of this kind donation and will be planting the flowers this week for residents and visitors to enjoy.

In the first photo, Parks and Rec employee Steve Crawford stands among the 900 flower pots donated by Costco to beautify the city.

John Eppolito has been called the foremost Common Core expert in the state of Nevada. John will share his fact based 45 minute PowerPoint presentation. As a former teacher, Eppolito's talk is appropriate for people who know nothing about CC and for people who have been studying CC for years. John was recently on Capital Crossfire discussing Common Core,

What is Common Core (CC) and why should you care?

Its proponents say CC is merely a set of standards for kindergarten through twelfth-grade education developed by disinterested and public-spirited experts at the request of the nation’s governors and state school superintendents.

With the theme, “Celebrating Civic Service,” Nevada State Museum in Carson City and the Reno Coin Club will join coin collectors from across the United States the for the 91st Annual National Coin Week, April 20 to 26.

I first saw a Smart Car in Paris. We were visiting my daughter who was studying abroad in the Fall of 2004. My wife took a photo of me standing behind the uber compact with my arms stretching from bumper to bumper. The design and size were like nothing I had seen in an automobile; it was very Euro.

In 2012 the people of Carson City voted DOWN the ballot initiative CC #1 which called for a 1/8th cent hike in the sales tax, to be used for a new library and other development downtown, including the reduction of traffic on Carson Street from 4 to 2 lanes so as to make room for wider, more pedestrian friendly sidewalks or additional street parking or both.

This article is a slight rewrite of the an e-mail sent by the president of stopcommoncorenevada.com 1. We've had the best media coverage yet. Superintendent of Public Instruction Dale Erquiaga was on Jon Ralston 2/06/2014 discussing Common Core (from 17:50-24:40).  Jon read three of our emails and used them to pose some pointed questions.
