CRUSH performed in Carson City at The Venue Friday night with Ryan Parker & Phasmo. CRUSH did old song, songs from their current album New World and some not yet released songs! There were more people than the last time they played there but there still needs to be more! CRUSH had friends, family and some fans from Reno show up and also made some new fans as well. The boys got a lot of nice comments after and during their performance from some of their faithful fans and some new comers! Carson seemed to really liked the fact that they came back, let’s hope they will be back again!

I took some time over Spring Break to look back on what we’ve done so far. It makes me happy to see the breadth of issues that our reporters have covered — animal cruelty legislation, protests, measures to protect children from human trafficking, and so much more. Their work has been featured in the Reno Gazette-Journal and on our local NPR and PBS affiliate stations — and it’s no wonder why. It’s quality journalism.

Today and every day, we wish for you what you gave Jake. The Owens FamilyCopyright 2013 -. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed.-Thank You:...

Well, the first couple weeks are all done! And, oh my gosh, have I learned a lot. For some reason I thought the assemblymen and senators would a lot easier to access than they are. I think the reporters we talked to before this started made it sound really easy. Some are pretty friendly about talking, but others are a little harder.

Synopsis

1. Secure the borders.
2. Quit politicizing immigration and illegal immigration.
3. Turn off the magnet to illegal immigration.
4. Put an end to “anchor babies.”

Introduction

As an immigrant and a naturalized U.S. citizen myself, with several generations of U.S. citizens in my extended family tree and none left in Europe, I am writing to express my most vehement protest against the proposed “reforms” in our immigration laws that are being announced at the present time, whether they come from the president or Congress.

The Carson City community banded together to help Tiffani Barber and raised over $3000.00 in silent auction items at High Sierra Brewery on Monday, January 21st.

Hello everyone,

Ron Wood Family Resource Center would like to thank the businesses and community for their generosity during the 2012 holiday season!

Donations to support youth and families that suffer from food insecurity amounted to 79,792 lbs. of food through December 2012.

Ron Wood also serves as the Toys for Tots distribution center for our community. We were able to serve approximately 4100 disadvantaged children in 2012.

Karen Abowd, Carson City Supervisor Ward 1, was honored Thursday during the 24th annual Human Services Network Awards at The Peppermill in Reno.

As Prepared for Delivery Wednesday, Jan. 16, 2013:

Madam Speaker, Mr. President, Distinguished Members of the Legislature, Honorable Justices of the Supreme Court, Constitutional Officers, Senator Heller, honored guests…...

This is a letter I sent out to Gov. Sandoval, and multiple other State Representatives. I felt that the general public should know what our prison system is doing to multiple small business owners in Carson City and Nevada. I would be very pleased if someone would bring this to light and show what our tax dollars are doing in this economy. There was a big story about this in Vegas with another company ... but this is also happening in our own backyard.

Dear Governor Sandoval,

About 400 Nevada guardsmen have begun training at various locations on and off the Las Vegas Strip on New Year's Eve this year for the 12th annual Vigilant Sentinel training exercise. The training is also being done in conjunction with the Las Vegas Metro Police. More than half of the guardsmen participating are from Northern Nevada. About 300,000 people are expected to party on the Las Vegas Strip on Monday, according to Las Vegas Metro Police.

Several Carson City school teams received high honor while competing in the third Northern Nevada First LEGO League tournament in Sparks this weekend, including a Judge's Award for the "Salon" team of Carson Middle School and the Project Presentation Awarded to the "Junior Geek Squad' of Eagle Valley Middle School.

The Brewery Arts Center and Best Buy Carson City, in partnership with Casino Fandango, would like to offer you a seasonal treats.
