Unemployment in Carson City fell by 2.5 percentage points to 7.8 percent in April, after employers added 300 jobs between March and April making it one of the best metro areas for job growth in the state, according to figures released Friday by Nevada’s Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation.

In April, Nevada’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate fell to 8 percent, down from 8.5 percent in March. This is the largest drop the state has seen in its unemployment rate since 1983. The number of unemployed fell from 117,300 in March to 110,000 in April.

Bealls opened Thursday morning at Carson Mall to great fanfare with hundreds of customers arriving early to shop at Carson City's newest department store.

Bealls store manager Kessn Flitton said customers filed into the 24,000-square-foot store for the grand opening ribbon cutting, taking advantage of bargains, sales, 25 percent off coupons, shopping sprees, gift card and merchandise giveaways.

At least 300 customers went through cashier lines within the first hour of opening, said Regional Manager Lewis Rael.

Monday, April 7 was the day that Elaine and I went trout fishing, and it was also the day that things did not go my way, again, as usual. The previous day, I asked her if she would like to go fishing at Indian Creek Reservoir in nearby Alpine County, Calif.

She replied that she wasn't interested, because it was a Sunday and the reservoir would probably be crowded with shore and boat fishermen.

Sportsman’s Warehouse opened officially at Carson Mall Saturday, attracting hundreds of shoppers along with a few dignitaries for a traditional ribbon-cutting ceremony.

The long-awaited Sportsman’s Warehouse is going to hold a really big ribbon cutting this Saturday morning to “officially” open their new store located in the Carson Mall.

Though they have had a “soft” opening this past week, the official opening is on April 5. Executives from Sportsman’s corporate and the Carson City Board of Supervisors will be attending the event coordinated by the Carson City Chamber of Commerce beginning at 8:30 a.m. Also in attendance will be the following beauty queens:

The new Sportsman's Warehouse store in the Carson Mall will be opening today, three days earlier than scheduled.

A worker at the store said at 10:15 today that they would be opening in one or two more hours.

The store was initially set to open on Monday.

Also, the newly relocated Dutch Brothers Coffee will be opening tomorrow at 5 a.m.

No offense, but if you don’t put in for a Silver State Tag when the big game application period opens on Monday, you must not like hunting very much.

The Silver State Tag already allows hunters the chance to hunt one of four premier big game species (mule deer, Rocky Mountain elk, Nelson (desert) bighorn sheep and pronghorn antelope) anywhere in the state, but now you also have the chance to win thousands of dollars of hunting gear as well.

A former Carson City resident will manage Sportsman’s Warehouse in Carson Mall when it opens in April and she begins her seventh year with the outdoor outfitter.

CARSON CITY – A team of about 20 Nevada public health professionals recently learned and practiced warehouse skills needed to unload, inventory and ship out massive amounts of medications or other items that could be needed in the event of a public health emergency.

Carson Mall will be getting a new Bealls department store to fill part of the space left by the departure of Gottschalks four years ago.

Joanna Holmes, property manager for the Carrington Company that owns the mall, confirmed that Bealls will be occupying 24,268 square feet of the mall, and that demolition work is already underway to ready the space for the new store.

Bealls is owned by Stage Stores, Inc., of Houston, Texas.

Work is already underway for the new Sportsman's Warehouse store announced in August.

Spherion Staffing is having a Recruitment Open House at their office on Basque Way. (accross from Walmart North/next to Z Restaurant) We are interviewing for inside sales jobs, ebay sales lister, warehouse, material handling, forklift, clerical, bilingual administrative assistant, CNC programmer, CNC operators, Production Supervisor, Shipping and Receiving and many more positions. Bring your resume, picture ID, Social Security card and DMV printout. Some assessment testing will be discussed and interviews will be done November 13 and each day for the following week.

Plans for a new Sportsman's Warehouse store at the Carson Mall have been submitted to the Carson City Building Department.

The outdoor retailer will become the new anchor tenant for the mall and take over 47,713 square feet of space that was previously vacated by Gottschalk's five years ago.

Sportsman's Warehouse had previously tried to open a store in the Southgate Center in Carson City in 2009. But financial difficulties with the parent company at the time shuttered that effort just short of it opening to the public.

Elaine and I spent last Friday and Saturday manning an exhibit at the ninth annual Grand Slam Club OVIS Hunter and Outfitter Convention held at the Grand Sierra Hotel and Casino Hotel in Reno.

We were there to help Paul Dankowski, Game Warden and Operation Game Thief (OGT) Coordinator for the Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW).

The two of us serve as State Directors on the OGT Citizen's Board, and had volunteered to man the OGT exhibit trailer for those two days.

What are we voting on? The only design that has some cost estimates is a grandiose wish list with artist’s renderings presented in July 2011 that has been pared down and down… down to what? Vote NO on CC #1.

Cost estimates vary from $28M to $49M (plus financing costs), depending on what’s included. Even with the tax hike, the intent is to raid NNDA, sewer, federal and private funds. Vote NO on CC #1.

The concept dated July 2011 shows a grandiose wish list for a public-private development. Where is the pared down wish list that CC #1 asks us to approve? Vote NO on CC #1.

CARSON CITY – The National Retail Federation has launched a nationwide 60-day campaign to raise awareness among lawmakers and the public on how what it calls a loophole exempting online sales from sales tax is hurting local communities and job creation.

If Nevada’s five-member Congressional delegation is any indication, the group has its work cut out for it, with three members opposed and two supportive of the idea to allow states to tax online sales.

(U.S. Department of Justice Press Release)
WASHINGTON – Teresa Kelly, a former operations supervisor in Colonial Bank’s Mortgage Warehouse Lending Division (MWLD), pleaded guilty today to conspiring to commit bank, wire and securities fraud for her role in a fraud scheme that contributed to the failures of Colonial Bank and Taylor, Bean & Whitaker (TBW).

Colonial Bank had a branch on Stewart Street in Carson City, that now sits vacant.

At the Carson City Board of Supervisor meeting going on right now, Office of Business Development Director Joe McCarthy announced that a new Olive Garden restaurant will be going into the Southgate Center on South Carson Street.

Olive Garden has agreed to a land lease, conditioned upon the developer of the shopping center filling the other empty stores. On that point, the new Big Lots store will open next month, and Big 5 Sports will be moving into the other space from their current, smaller location on North Carson Street.

The new Kohl’s in Carson City has opened. It actually a couple of days early; all the ads said it would be September 29th. But today all over town I saw little signs saying “Kohls – Now Open”. So I drove by and indeed, it is open.

The Carson City Board of Supervisors revoked the catering license of Com Productions LLC, after it was used to provide alcohol at a gang-related party in August.

Sheriff Kenny Furlong made a presentation detailing an Aug. 20 incident where his deputies shut down a party held at 1700 Forrest Way put on by Com Productions' owner Robert Schmitt.

Furlong said that one wall of the warehouse — which is also owned by Schmitt — was decorated with gang graffiti, and that a known gang member had been hired by the owner to guard the back entrance to the building for the party.

We had heard rumors of recent activity at the never-opened Sportsman's Warehouse store in the Southgate Center on South Carson Street.

And now, it looks like there will be a new Big Lots store moving in this fall.

While a discount closeout store isn't exactly the kind of high-end (or medium-end) store residents might have been hoping for, it's better than an empty storefront.
