The child I love
When Maddy Ralston came into this world almost 21 years ago, it was love at first sight.
I cradled her in my arms, my adopted miracle, and couldn’t stop crying. She was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen.

Western Nevada College commencement address by Carson City Mayor Bob Crowell

The following remarks are from Carson City Mayor Bob Crowell who delivered the commencement address at Monday's Western Nevada College ceremony in Carson City:
Thank you for the distinct honor of presenting some remarks on this very important commencement day — a day of new beginnings! On this special day, your school, your community, your state and your nation offer up their congratulations to each and every one of you.
Western Nevada College is an integral part of the community of Carson City. Perhaps more importantly, it is an integral part of the fabric of our society — an integral part of what makes us successful as a state and nation.
Education is the social glue that holds us together as a free society. By your graduation and the dedication it represents, you have every right be proud that you are advancing not just your personal and professional lives but, indeed, advancing the very future of our nation.
So, today, in addition to our congratulations please also accept your community’s appreciation for all that you have accomplished and are going to accomplish in this great world.
You have worked very hard to be here to today. You have every reason to celebrate. Indeed, you have every reason to look the future square in the eye and say you are ready to take on all that life may bring to you.
As Brigham Young once said: “Education is the power to think clearly, the power to act well in the world's work, and the power to appreciate life.” Indeed it is.
With your graduation today you have embarked on the path of personal success in all that you do.
But while it is the right path, it is not necessarily an easy path.
Mark Twain once opined in one of his more memorable ways that: “education: the path from cocky ignorance to miserable uncertainty.” An interesting quote from someone who lived over a hundred years ago — and perhaps prescient. For if anything, the speed at which uncertainty becomes a reality at any particular point in our lives continues to increase.
Although it is generally believed that rate of change in our capacity to process and compute information peaked in 1996 — it is clear that the rate and scope of change in the world’s productivity is still exponential.
Today, with the advent of electronic media, the speed of decision-making — and with it the speed of everyday life — has become both an opportunity and a challenge — opportunities and challenges certainly unknown to my generation as we were graduating — and maybe even unknown to the graduating class of just last year.
Today we have ready access to a wealth of information — and we have near instantaneous communication ability across a broad spectrum of platforms. All good things, of course.
But with speed comes uncertainty — perhaps not the uncertainty that Mark Twain envisioned those many years ago — but uncertainty nevertheless.
Business models, human productivity and indeed our world in general are changing with a rapidity and breadth unlike anything past generations have witnessed.
What does that means to the graduate of today? The words “stress” and “anxiety” come to mind — and you would be right in thinking that there has already been a lot of stress and anxiety in your life by just getting here today — but as I suspect you understand, it doesn’t end here but in a very real sense increases — stress and anxiety in our jobs, stress and anxiety in our business relationships and, yes, stress and anxiety in our personal relationships.
I am certainly no expert on human behavior or the ways to cope with stress, but it seems to me that one way to deal with the rapidity of a changing environment is to expect change, expect surprises — be nimble — be flexible.
In his 2005 commencement address at Stanford University, Steve Jobs personally related his success story and remarked: “…you can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust the dots will somehow connect in your future.”
Maybe so. It certainly worked for Steve Jobs. But it is also important to have a vision of where you want to go and what you want to do and embrace change as an opportunity to accomplish your goals.
Easy to say — hard to implement — but be that as it may, change is a fact of our lives today.
I have no doubt that you are up to the challenge and that your education has provided you with the tools to cope not only with your chosen avocation but life in general.
And of course, just as every coin has two sides, so it is with the challenges of life and work.
This is a great time to live in America and northern Nevada in particular. Although we certainly have our economic struggles, the opportunities for success in our personal and professional lives could not be greater.
They say learning never stops — and I certainly agree, but I must say I envy you not just for your hard work and dedication but also for the immense opportunities and doors that can be opened in today’s world with an education such as yours.
It is certainly no secret that northern Nevada is undergoing an economic diversification of epic dimensions —dimensions that are changing the nature and make-up of our economy in ways that we may predict in some cases but which in others are wholly unpredictable.
Along with this economic diversification, the age of digital communication has brought an entire interconnected world to your doorsteps.
Although perhaps trite to say, the world is indeed getting smaller but with it the opportunities for advancement and success are magnified in reverse proportion — particularly for those willing to take a risk.
Each of you, through your education, has been given the tools to take such risks — you have been given the tools that Brigham Young would say gives you the "power to act well in the world's work".
No matter what your degree or achievement, you have been given the tools to rationally analyze issues and opportunities — I know you will use those tools wisely — and as mayor I would ask that you use them not just for your own benefit, but for the benefit and advancement of your community as well.
Speaking of community, let me conclude by addressing two matters I to have come to believe are of importance if we are to ensure and maintain a sustainable region with an unparalleled quality of life.
First, as we witness economic development, it is important that we not forget our heritage in Nevada. As our communities develop, we must preserve our history and not forget our historical roots — that is what make us unique — that is what makes for a quality of life unknown elsewhere — a quality of life that recognizes our past while promoting the future.
The second concerns the advent of digital communication itself — a form of communication that is important to be sure — but which is nevertheless impersonal by its very nature.
In the face of these wonderful communication tools, it is important that we not lose sight of the value of interpersonal speech and writing.
Those forms of communication — which some may call antiquated — promote dialogue, promote thought and indeed promote what I call a sense of community — a sense of personal self-worth, a sense of belonging, a sense of mutual respect — all of which I believe are essential to maintain the cohesive self-governing way of life upon which our country was founded.
As such, for my part I would ask of this graduating class of 2016 that as you move into the 21st century and take your rightful place in the development of our nation and world with all its attendant uncertainties--that you not forget from where and whence you came and always be mindful of the value of meaningful personal dialogue.
In turn it is my wish and hope for each of you that the dots connect and you savor and enjoy all the fruits that life has to offer.

CTE Jump Start program through WNC prepares students for graduation and beyond
Jake Doll wasn’t sure what he was getting himself into when his guidance counselor at Dayton High School told him about the Career and Technical Education Jump Start Program in Advanced Manufacturing through Western Nevada College.
“I was told it was hands on and it sounded cool, so I gave it a try,” said Doll, who graduates from Dayton High Wednesday with 18 college credits already under his belt. “I ended up really enjoying it, I saved money by doing this in high school and I feel like I’m ahead of a lot of seniors heading into college.”
In addition to earning 18 college credits this year at WNC’s Advanced Manufacturing program for Jump Start students, Doll completed his Occupational Safety and Health Administration 10-hour safety certification and his National Career Readiness Certification.
On Monday in Carson City, 27 high school students graduated with associate degrees as part of the WNC Jump Start program. Among them, Natalie Delbecq. She was first-year 2014-15 CTE Jump Start student from Dayton High School.
“There is a high demand for these career pathways in our state,” said Mike Raponi, the Nevada Department of Education CTE Director. “The goal of these programs is to prepare students to earn a postsecondary credential in less time and at a lower cost, and to meet a growing labor market demand for skilled workers.”
Doll is enrolled in WNC’s Automated Systems major of the Associate of Applied Science Technology degree, and he's also considering the General Industrial Technology major.
“With the Jump Start year under his belt, Jake is well positioned to make good decisions about the next phase of his technical training and education to set himself up for the future,” said Emily Howarth, Electronics and Industrial Technology Professor at WNC. “He's had hundreds of hours of hands-on practice time available in small class settings and has experienced a variety of behind-the-scenes activities at area employers, including the Tesla Gigafactory, through WNC's connections to business and industry.”
The program Doll participated in to earn dual credit is one of many options high school students have to “fast-track” to postsecondary credentials. The options include dual-credit programs, such as Jump Start, and a myriad of other options available to students through statewide articulation agreements between secondary and postsecondary career and technical education programs. The credentials high school students can earn demonstrate skill attainment at varying levels that include industry certifications, certificates of achievement, and associate degrees, all recognized by the Nevada System of Higher Education.
“Jake is a great example of how the program is supposed to work,” said Mark Lobsinger, WNC’s CTE College Credit Coordinator. “Here is a student who didn’t have much of a plan, and was given a pathway into college. He’s a hands-on guy who will take the technician pathway, which right now is in such high demand in the emerging job market. This is a perfect example of how Career and Technical Education can benefit students in our area. Jake now has the credentials and experience to seek employment, although he plans on finishing his Associate Degree here at WNC. Jake is now a mature young man, who sees the value in postsecondary education.”
As a result of the Jump-Start program, Doll could earn his Associate’s Degree in Automated Systems in one year.

In other arrests:
— A 63-year-old transient, Charles Berton, was arrested Monday, 6:04 p.m. in the area of Tablerock Drive along the Northridge trail on felony suspicion of failing to register as a sex offender, a Carson City sheriff’s deputy said.
According to the arrest report, deputies were asked to respond to a hiking trail behind the 2300 block of Tablerock Drive for a report of a subject camping in the rocks. A local resident said they were concerned because the man had been camping at the location for the last two weeks, noting there’s a lot of neighborhood children who play near the trail and nobody knew anything about the man, the report states.
A deputy made contact with the man. A computer check showed he was a convicted and violent sex offender who was last registered in Los Angeles, the arrest report states. The man told the deputy he was told by Reno Police Department to register a couple weeks ago but had decided to come to Carson City instead. Bail: $5,000.
— A 27-year-old Carson City woman, Jessica Elizabeth Riley, was arrested Monday, 10:28 p.m. in the 7000 block of Highway 50 East on a warrant from Carson City District Court and parole and probation violation, both felonies. She is being held without bail in lieu of a hearing.
— A 61-year-old Carson City woman was arrested Monday, 3:52 p.m. in the 1600 block of Medical Parkway on gross misdemeanor suspicion of battery on a peace officer.
According to the arrest report, deputies were called to Carson Tahoe Hospital after dispatch advised the woman punched a doctor and nurse.
The medical staff did not wish to press charges but requested the intoxicated woman be removed from the emergency room.
The doctor made contact with the woman who provided a partial preliminary breath test of .250. When she was advised she would be taken to a detox center, the woman become combative and took a swing with a fist at the deputy. She was placed into handcuffs. Bail: $2,500.
— A 44-year-old Carson City man was arrested Monday, 8:10 p.m. in the 4200 block of Hidden Meadow Drive on misdemeanor DUI and hit and run.
According to the arrest report, a deputy was dispatched to the area to locate a hit and run suspect. Dispatch advised the suspect was driving a black Jeep and provided a license plate number and an address.
The deputy went to the address and made contact with the suspect. He asked him who was driving the Jeep. Before the officer could explain why he was asking, the man stated “me and I have pictures of the accident,” the arrest report states.
The man went back inside the home and grabbed his cell phone and showed pictures of a white vehicle that he states hit him at Kohls parking lot. Another deputy who was the investigating deputy of the accident stated the suspect was at fault and needed to return to the scene to provide his insurance information or risk being cited for hit and run.
While speaking with the man, officers observed signs of intoxication, including alcohol on his breath and glassy, bloodshot eyes. The man freely admitted that he was driving and involved in the accident that was being investigated. The man consented to field sobriety tests. He was unable to complete the tests and showed signs of impairment. He provided a preliminary breath test of .090 and was arrested for suspicion of DUI and hit and run, both misdemeanor offenses. Bail: $1,774.
All information for the crime log (unless otherwise noted) comes from the arrest reports supplied by the Carson City Sheriff's Office, and is considered by law to be public information. All subjects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. The policy of Carson Now is to name anyone who is arrested for a felony offense.
Carson City unemployment down slightly in April
Carson City's unemployment in April fell slightly to 6.7 percent, down 0.1 percent from March and 0.8 percent over the year, according to figures released Tuesday by the Nevada Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation.
Carson City job numbers were expected to be stagnant but instead actually showed an increase of 200 jobs, said Bill Anderson, chief economist for the state's employment agency.
The statewide unemployment rate sits at 5.8 percent in April as reported last week. Nevada unemployment rates in April varied on a month-over-month basis, but decreased in the past year.
The over-the-year unemployment rate in the Reno/Sparks area has decreased 1.2 percentage points, to 5.4 percent, and is down 0.1 percentage point over-the-month, said Anderson.
Meanwhile, the rate in Las Vegas is up 0.1 percentage point from March, at 6.1 percent, and is down 0.8 percentage points from last year.
“Nevada’s largest population centers gained employment on a year-over-year basis, pointing to the continued improvement in the Silver State’s economy statewide,” Anderson said. “The fact that the rate rose slightly in Las Vegas in April is not cause for concern. The annual measures of unemployment are more indicative of the state of the economy.
Job readings in April show that Clark County has regained all of the 134,300 jobs lost, from its peak in 2007 to the trough in 2010, said Anderson. Relative to April 2015, Las Vegas experienced the highest nominal job growth, adding 23,600 jobs, an increase of 2.6 percent. In the state as a whole, job numbers also increased 2.6 percent year-over-year, adding a seasonally adjusted 32,900 jobs.
John Wayne stars in 'Stagecoach' presented by Carson City Classic Cinema Club

'Stagecoach' is a 1939 American Western film starring Claire Trevor and John Wayne in his breakthrough role. Director John Ford combined action, drama, humor, and a set of well-drawn characters in the story of a group of strangers riding on a stagecoach through dangerous Apache territory.
The film offers plenty of cowboys, Indians, shootouts, and chases, aided by Bert Glennon's majestic photography of Ford's beloved Monument Valley.
Although there were Westerns before it, the movie quickly became a template for all Westerns to come. In 1995, this film was deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" by the United States Library of Congress and selected for preservation in their National Film Registry.
General admission $5; Senior/Student $3; Free for members. Doors open at 6:00pm with trivia and discussion at 6:30pm. The film begins at 7:00pm. Black Box Theater at the Brewery Arts Center, 449 W. King Street.

Film screenings are held the first Tuesday of each month. For more information, call Rhonda at 775-315-8495, visit our website at www.ccclassiccinema.org, and/or follow us on Facebook.
