Stimulus funds will have created or saved 5,600 construction jobs by the end of the year, according to a press release issued yesterday by the Nevada Department of Transportation
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, the release says, has provided about $201 million in funding for road construction in Nevada, and 90 percent of the funds have already been contracted out to construction companies.
The release states that 32 ARRA-funded projects are currently underway in the state, and an additional six will begin by the end of May.  After the rest of the projects begin over the course of summer and fall, a total of 69 road projects will have used stimulus funding.

Carson boys, girls sweep state cross-country titlesBy Justin Lawson RENO -- The Carson boys' cross-country team didn't need any more pressure. It was already fighting history having not won a state title since a string of three consecutive from 1989-91 and its lead runner, Richard Shroy, was trying to match his brother who had won an individual title just three years ago.But the added pressure came from its own classmates: the girls' team. The Carson girls put on a dominating display by overcoming a huge deficit just last week in the regionals to clinch a team state title Saturday at Rancho San Rafael Park.It took every last stride that was left in the boys' team, but the Senators matched the girls' feat by edging Centennial of Las Vegas and added one more caveat: an individual state title for Shroy."I took it over with about maybe a quarter-mile left," said Shroy, who edged Galena runner Bryan Jordan by less than five second on a full-out sprint down the final stretch. "I thought it was going to be

Carson City Author, Sandie La Nae, has just published her 10th book. The title is “Weird Reno,” and this book was born out of very strange circumstances. Here’s the scoop:

Nevada Historical Society docent, historian and friend, Arline La Ferry, often times posts on her Facebook page unusual articles she discovers while researching the region. Displaying an interesting piece from a January 1911 newspaper article about bones being found in a safety deposit box, La Nae replied to the fascinating story that the two should write a book about strange happenings in Reno. They agreed on the book title, and “the chapters took on a life of their own,” La Nae states on writing them.

La Ferry has explored a plethora of material in her many years of volunteering at the Historical Society. She has accrued numerous facts and editorials spanning Reno’s history from the mid-1800s to today’s date. La Nae says, “Arline has a great ability in studying and examining history, and sharing her findings in our book, readers of “Weird Reno” will learn about this area’s beguiling past, and present, “weirdness’s.”

La Nae has written several books she terms as Historic-Paranormal. The format is a section for or mixture of notable historical accounts and paranormal reports from either Thin Veil Investigations – a paranormal investigative team La Nae is part of - or, from other ghost hunter’s narratives.

Her last volume written in this venue, and published in April of 2014, is about “The Old Genoa Bar.” It was written as a tribute to the bar’s owners, Willy and Cindy Webb, for their guardianship of a Nevada treasure, and to the building for celebrating its 160th anniversary this year (first built when the area was Utah Territory). It was also written in honor of an iconic structure for Nevada commemorating its 150th birthday.

Written in the Historic-Paranormal style, La Nae’s newest published work, “Weird Reno,” is chock full of intriguing news and ghostly descriptions throughout Reno’s history.

A book signing for La Nae’s and La Ferry’s “Weird Reno” is scheduled at the Nevada Historical Society’s “Spirited Nevada” Halloween program, which is slated for the 25th of October. Among the planned events are interesting lectures, one of which La Nae will be speaking on - “Psychic and Paranormal Existence...Living with the Gift and the Ghost,” a topic that communicates La Nae’s psychic gifts and as a paranormal investigator. Sandie’s lecture begins at 11:00 a.m., with book signing after the address.

The Nevada Historical Society is at 1650 N. Virginia Street in Reno. The Spirited Nevada Halloween program will run from 11:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Sandie’s books are available at her website: www.sandiespsychicstones.com

CARSON CITY — For the fourth consecutive year, Western Nevada College will graduate its largest class in history. The class of 2013 is 505 students strong, with 530 degrees and certificates being issued.

Four students will receive Bachelor of Technology degrees in construction management, and three students will graduate with bachelor’s degrees as part of WNC’s teacher preparation partnership with Nevada State College. The graduates span 60 years, from the youngest at age 17 and the eldest at 77.

Commencement ceremonies are Monday, May 20, 11 a.m. in Carson City at the Pony Express Pavilion, 888 N. Saliman Rd., and Tuesday, May 21, 7 p.m., in Fallon at the Barkley Theatre at Oats Park Art Center, 151 Park St.

Nursing graduates will participate in a Pinning Ceremony on Monday, May 20, 3 p.m., at the Carson Nugget.

The college will also host its first Multi-Faith Baccalaureate Service this year, for the 2013 graduating class. It will begin at 8 a.m. on Monday, May 20, at the Carson City Community Center, 851 East William St.

Representatives of many local faith communities will be present to offer blessings for the graduates.

Honorary degrees will be awarded to Carson City residents Dorothy and Robert Ramsdell. Since the late 1990s, the couple has contributed significant time, effort and funds to enhance the education that students at Western Nevada College receive.

Their generosity has provided many student scholarships, equipment for the college’s registered nursing program, the reconstruction of the Child Development Center playground, and the continued growth of the Jack C. Davis Observatory. The couple has also sponsored the WNC softball program, and helped support the heralded “Always Lost: A Meditation on War” multimedia exhibition about the costs of war.

As a longtime member of the WNC Foundation, Dorothy has been active in developing and promoting fundraising ideas to support students at WNC. Meanwhile, Rob served a vital role in developing the college’s first baccalaureate degree program in Construction Management.

Honorary degrees may be awarded to those who have made significant contributions to the improvement of the quality of academic program and academic life at an institution of the Nevada System of Higher Education.

Over 90 Nevada citizens voiced their opinions about the economic situation to Nevada legislators at the Reno Town Hall meeting Saturday morning.  An estimated 500 citizens showed up at Reno City Hall to hear the speakers, many of them health care and education public employees as well as people advocating for the arts. Approximately 200 citizens also submitted written comments to the legislators.
The majority of the speakers emphasized the importance of the interests they represented to the state as a whole and cautioned against making cuts that would be particularly damaging.
Marilyn Scholl, a facilitator from the National Alliance of Mental Illness, argued that cutting funding to programs to aid the mentally ill, such as the Program of Assertive Community Treatment (PACT) will result in Nevada prisons and hospitals having to deal with them instead.

"Brenda (Luquin) does a great job in the midfield and Kenzie (Tillitt) is a tough egg to crack in goal. It's hard to crack through that defense."Defensively they will keep us on our toes.

A home care provider was booked Friday into Carson City Jail on three felony warrants charges involving burglary, grand larceny and possession of stolen property.

Ella May Dix, 50, of Reno was taken into custody by the Carson City Sheriff's Office after the woman arrived at the front counter for the warrants. The three felony charges are out of Las Vegas Justice Court and issued Jan. 15, 2014. Bail: $80,000.

In other arrests:

A 23-year-old woman, Karina Marie Decender, and Ryan William Riggs, 26, both of Carson City were arrested Friday, 9:33 a.m. in the 300 block of West Nye Lane on suspicion of felony possession of a controlled substance.

According to the arrest report officers went to the address to serve a warrant on Decender. Deputies knocked on the door for several minutes, announcing who they were, and then placed the woman into custody.

Riggs exited from the bathroom as officers were speaking with the woman. He asked if he could go into the bedroom to get clothing. The officer said he could only if the officer could go with him for officer safety reasons.

The man agreed and the officer followed him into the bedroom. While he was looking for his clothing, the officer saw several pieces of tin foil on the floor and next to the bed and several black tracks on the pieces of foil and recognized this as drug paraphernalia, the arrest report states.

The officer instructed the man to go back to the living room area. He was detained and read his Miranda rights. he stated he understood his rights. The officer asked who the foil belonged to, and the man replied "both of us use it," looking at Decender, the arrest report states. Officers asked if he was still selling heroin and Riggs replied "Well not that much anymore," the arrest report states.

Officers contacted Carson City DAS to report what was found and asked if there was a search clause because the woman was on probation. There was a clause and the officer was given permission to search the residence, the arrest report states.

On the foil, officers found a very thick, black residue that appeared to be unsmoked black tar heroin. A test positive was made on the heroin. Also found in the home was $1,500 cash. A deputy asked Riggs how he obtained the cash. Riggs said by doing side jobs for his grandmother.

Both Riggs and Decender were arrested on the felony possession charges as well as misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia. She also faces charges of violation of a suspended sentence. Her bail is $6,637. Riggs bail is $3,637.

— A 46-year-old man, Michael Scott Hopper, was arrested Friday, 7:25 p.m. at Highway 50 and Nichols on suspicion of possessing prescription drugs without a prescription and possession for sale, both felonies. He also faces a misdemeanor charge of violation of bail conditions.

According to the arrest report, deputies with the Carson City Sheriff's Office Special Enforcement Team observed a red Subaru wagon traveling west on Highway 50 that did not have an operating brake light on the driver's side. The vehicle was stopped and the officer made contact with the driver, and passenger, both of whom the deputy has had previous contacts. Hopper was on Alternative Sentencing with a no drug clause, according to the arrest report.

The deputy asked the man if he had anything on him he was not supposed to have, and Hopper said he did not. He was asked to step out of the vehicle. Once outside, the officer asked him if he could do a search of him for any items of contraband. Hopper said the officer could.

In his right pocket the officer located a small mint tin and inside the tim were several small ziplock bags that contained varying amounts of different prescription medications. Also in the tin were multiple empty baggies. The deputy learned that in Hopper's Alternative Sentencing agreement there was also a clause for him to not having any prescription pills without a prescription. He was cuffed and taken to jail. Bail: $10,500.

— A 20-year-old Dayton woman, Shayla Ferber, was booked Friday, 6:31 p.m. into the Carson City Jail on a felony warrant, possession of a controlled substance. The warrant was issued March 24, 2014 out of Carson City Drug Court. She was placed on no bail hold where there will be a hearing.

Those arrested and facing charges are innocent unless proven guilty in a court of law.

Nevada Business Connections recently completed its 100th on-site interview and tours of manufacturers in Carson City, Douglas and Lyon counties. NBC's executive director Kris Holt and six members helped survey existing manufacturers regarding a great business climate and issues of concern.

“It was great to complete phase one of our expansion/retention efforts,” said NBC Executive Director Kris Holt, noting NBC discovered 25 manufacturing expansions in 2014 and 17 so far this year.

“This is fabulous news for the economy,” said Lori Haney, Senior Vice President/Regional Manager with City National Bank. “All companies are concerned with the new commerce tax and lack of skilled workers. We keep talking about these issues of concern and really need to start providing solutions now.”

In general, takeaways from the yearlong visitation program include:

— All were manufacturers (140 in Carson City, 70 in Douglas County, 85 in Mound House, 17 in Dayton)
— 80 are family owned businesses
— 85 percent were 50 employees or less
— Taxes (slowly becoming California)
— Lack of skilled workers everywhere
— Most companies are optimistic about 2016
— Great place to live and work (quality of life)
— High power rates (electric)
— Carson Tahoe Hospital is good – Renown is preferred for special illnesses or injuries
— Communication services in Douglas County could improve
— Transportation roads/highways are great
— Reno-Tahoe-International Airport is exceptional for a small market
— All businesses but three are confident that their business will increase this year
— Douglas County manufacturers seem a little more relaxed than uptight
— There were 22 percent of businesses unhappy with local government. 15 manufacturers concerned about the presidential election

The Fall 2015 Spiritual Wellness Expo & Conference continues November 7-8, 2015, Reno Convention Center.
For two decades, the Reno Psychic Institute (RPI) has been bringing speakers and exhibitors from around the region to present information and products to Northern Nevadans interested in spiritual wellness and psychic phenomenon.

This year, even with a 30% increase in convention center space, the event is sold out in terms of speakers and vendors. Local speakers and vendors as well as vendors from as far away as Texas and Oklahoma are participating in the event. The Expo has also been featured on local radio shows.

RPI Director, Laura Peppard, says, “In 2008-2009, the changing economy resulted in a shift in our cultural and spiritual consciousness as people tended to withdraw and focus on survival. What was next? My path is changing, but how?”

“But now, we’re seeing a resurgence in consciousness in Reno, with people wanting to get back on their path-- their physical and spiritual journey -- and that’s what this event is all about – exploring your purpose in life and how to get there.”

The two-day event attracts approximately 1,000 attendees each day.New events include:

§ Spiritual Awareness in Motion Hour on Sunday, with local Chakradance and Yoga presenters Crystelle Rife and Syena Sowden.
§ Triple Feature Movie Day on Friday, November 6, featuring three films focused on the facts and spiritual issues currently affecting our food resources and healthcare practices.
§ Eight In-depth Conference seminars including how “How do we really heal?”, “Our Spiritual Past Lives”, and “Psychic Protection: Shielding Again Negativity”.

Other vendors and events include:

§ Over 70 metaphysical, spiritual awareness, community, and environmental-related vendors and practitioners.
§ Seven free workshops on topics such as “Traditional Nourishing Foods: Reclaiming Ancient Wisdom” to “Psychic Tools and the Workplace”.
§ Two days of Center Stage music and entertainment.
§ Creative Zone for children of all ages.

There were wings everywhere, of all types and flavors; the garlic parmesan seemed to be getting the best reviews from the crowd. There were four types of beer on tap (at a dollar apiece it was easily the best deal in town) and all of them were ice cold. For another dollar, one could buy a "walking taco": a small bag of Doritos, crushed and covered with meat, cheese, onions, tomatoes, lettuce and salsa, eaten right out of the bag.

The First Annual Carson Station Wing-Off was a crowd-pleaser Saturday afternoon, drawing hundreds for the Carson Station's official grand opening. Vendors did a booming business, while various wing-peddlers offered their wares to a hungry public.

Willie Davison, president of the Great International Chicken Wing Society, was pleased with the turnout. It was nothing, of course, compared to the wing cook-off he does in Reno every year - this summer marked the tenth anniversary of the event - but that's to be expected for the first annual anything.

This year's Reno event drew in 6,000 people, 150 vendors, and required over 20,000 lbs of chicken wings. The Carson City event required considerably less in resources, but nonetheless was a rousing success.

"This event...we've got it down pat now," Davison said. The society supplies everything for the cost of the entrance fee: the booth, baskets to serve wings in, napkins, the EZ-Ups, signage, cooking supplies, and even the chicken wings themselves. All the wing vendor has to bring is themselves and their sauce and spices. "Chicken wings are the number-one hors d'oeuvres in the world," Davison continued, gesturing to the crowd. "With the football season, wings are expensive, but we offer...wings to the vendors at the going rate."

He considers the Society a family business: his granddaughter, at 10 years old, was circulating through the crowd Friday, telling wing vendors that they'd be dealing with her in ten years.

Onstreet Concessions has been participating in the Reno wing event for two years, taking second place on their first year. They are hoping to win Carson City.

"Willie called and asked us to come do [this] with him...I think the world of him, so we came," said Lynn Chapel, owner. The Sparks business does mobile events of all types, serving items such as the illustrious chicken wings, tri-tip, pulled pork sandwiches, corn dogs, and fresh squeezed lemonade.

"We do all of the events except for the rib cookoff," Chapel said of her family business.

On the other end of the spectrum was Redneck Wings, run by friends Tom Palfrey and Rob Maloy. They only do special events for fun and have no established business, but have participated in the wing cookoff for the last four years, taking home two trophies. They are also hoping to win a prize this year.

Later in the afternoon, local band AM/FM Reno took to the stage, their singer Al Reed belting out classic rock. A crowd grew around the stage, dancing and laughing, disappearing in small clusters to go get more chicken wings and beer. Children, meanwhile, were welcome, and there were sodas, smoothies, and lemonade available for them, as well as bouncy houses and a face-painting station.

The trophies will be awarded at 3 p.m. Sunday afternoon at the Carson Station. The public is invited to attend - wings will be available starting at 10 a.m. in the parking lot directly to the north.
