From its inception, Carson Now has been the place where anyone could submit stories, photos, opinions, etc. about local issues.

We can do this because the site has been engineered to have two tiers for where content resides. The front page offers a filtered view of the content on Carson Now, as determined by our staff based on what we feel is newsworthy.

As an announced candidate for Carson City Sheriff I feel obligated to respond to the recently posted news article on Carson Now regarding a Sheriff’s office employee who allegedly embezzled money in the neighborhood of $100,000 dollars.

We all grew up learning to share with each other and with most things in life, some learn better than others. It’s with this thought in mind that we reflect on the idea of shared abundance.

First, we all need to focus on the many things we have to be thankful for. We have been blessed with great richness here. The wonderful lifestyle we have is hard to be critical of. Our communities have leaders who care about our collective future.

The family of Ernie Beeghly would like to thank everyone for the love and support shown to us during our loss. Thank you to all who attended and helped with the funeral servi...

Carson Now reader Beth Ortega submitted two photos of a snow carving creation outside her Carson City home. Also submitting, reader Kymber Estes notes how this standing log looks similar to a bear in a side glance.

Thank you Beth and Kymber Estes for you submissions.

2013 is about to end, where did it go? How do you say thank you to the many people that were there for you? So I decided to write this letter.

Hello fellow anglers: I hope your Thanksgiving was a grand memory. I spent my Thanksgiving day, fishing in the morning and enjoying family the rest of the day.

I do have a special early Christmas present for you all later in this report.
But first I would like to say thank you, to all the anglers that have called the Naw line or have shared their fishing adventures over this last year. I hope I have answered all your questions, and as well you have educated me.

We all like to brag about our fishing adventures.

Think about the Future You for a moment – a person just retired. Do you imagine yourself on a beach somewhere? Are you finishing that novel you wanted to write? Maybe you’re spending more time with your grandkids. Whatever the Future You is doing, developing a tangible plan to get there is crucial.
The first step in proper planning is separating fact from fiction:
Fiction: You need to be wealthy to get help with retirement

Over 12 years ago, In Donna Gregory's home of her ex-husband she discovered a box with the words “War Department” on it. Inside was personal letters and something else very special. Here is her story.

“It was in the closet of his grandparents room. When I got to the bottom the box I discovered to my amazement, a PURPLE HEART medal was inside. No one in my ex husband's family could tell me who this soldier was or why his grandparents had the Medal and Letters.

The family of Worth Borda would like to thank everyone who sent cards, flowers, words of encouragement, prayers, contributions and kind thoughts during the loss of one so dea...

Virginia City knows how to throw a parade. Monday's time-honored tradition down C Street was among the best as thousands gathered, watched and cheered the American worker during the annual Labor Day event.

There were 21 labor unions represented along C Street Monday, with about 300 local workers and their families participating as well as notable, numerous union retirees.
 

I just thought I would share this with you: For awhile now, I've been seeing this mama and baby deer all around town and they are so precious. I caught them having a snack in front of the Bliss Mansion today so I had to capture a photo of them.

Carson City Sheriff's Office traffic deputy Rick Dodds retires today, Thursday, after 26 years on the force.

Dodds joined the Carson City Sheriff's Office on July 24th, 1987 after spending two years as a reserve officer. This year he was chosen by his colleagues as Carson City Sheriff's Office Deputy of the Year.

At a retirement luncheon thrown by colleagues on Wednesday, Dodds said he was grateful for the years he spent on the force, telling his fellow officers that they are among the best professionals in law enforcement.

Organizers of the 30th annual La Ka Lel Be Pow Wow to be held in Carson City during the Nevada Day weekend say the event is taking shape and are looking for sponsors and raffle donations to help bring the event to its fullest.

The pow wow began 30 years ago at the Carson Indian Colony. It is and has always been a part of the Nevada Day celebrations, said co-organizer Brandi Colunga.

However, through the years, some of those who participated in organizing it have stepped down. So, along with Martin Montgomery, the two are hoping to continue the tradition.

Here is this week's fishing report for rivers, lakes and streams in Nevada, Northern California and the Sierra. This report is for the week of Aug. 14-20.

Sometimes we all need to remind ourselves of who we really are. To stay true to ourselves. It's been an honor and privilege doing what I do.

Whether its inside the broadcast booth or doing community service outside the booth. There are days that I need to remind myself that I'm not the only one who has expectations of me to succeed.

My own expectations are the toughest for sure, but I am well aware that what I do also impacts others.

I needed to go back and refresh my memory of just who expects me to do well, and who I need to continue to be.

Food For Thought would like to think all the people who came out and supported us at our Saddle Up For Kids Events. Friday, June 28th’s dinner at the Governor’s Mansion and Saturday, June 29th’s Carnival at Mills Park wouldn’t have been as successful if not for our volunteers!

Thank you Mark Robison for your Reno Gazette Journal July 7th Fact checker article concerning the lack of truthfulness (4 of 10) of a letter to the editor by Mr. Fred Voltz about Nevada's bear hunting program.

Although my opinion on Nevada's bear hunting program has not been finalized, my opinion on Voltz’s candor and misrepresentation of the facts is confirmed.

Thank you Dick Campagni's Carson City Toyota-Scion, Cumulus Radio Magic 95.5 FM, Carson City and all the organizers and contributors who made this year's Fourth of July fireworks extravaganza at Mills Park in Carson City possible.
