CARSON CITY — The Nevada Department of Transportation will begin a project Monday to install pedestrian safety improvements on U.S. 50 in the Zephyr Cove area of Lake Tahoe.

Intermittent lane, roadway shoulder and sidewalk closures will take place on U.S. 50 near Lake Shore Boulevard through early July, primarily during the hours of 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays as NDOT installs the following pedestrian safety improvements:

— Currently, there is one constantly-flashing pedestrian crossing light at the intersection of U.S. 50 and Lake Shore Boulevard. The signal will be replaced with two electronic flashing pedestrian crossing beacons, known as rapid rectangular flashing beacons, allowing pedestrians to activate the signs to help stop traffic as they cross the street. One signal will be placed in advance of a roadway curve, giving drivers advance notice of any pedestrians crossing ahead.

— Sidewalks will be improved for safer and easier pedestrian travel.

— Overhead street lighting will be installed for enhanced visibility of pedestrians in the crosswalk.

The approximately $294,000 in improvements by contractor Par Electrical Contractors, Inc. will help enhance safety for pedestrians crossing the highway, as well as for the as many as 20,000 drivers traveling the highway daily.
This year, NDOT will also install similar pedestrian safety enhancements on U.S. 50 in Carson City and Dayton.

In 2017, the department completed pedestrian safety improvements on Kietzke Lane and North Virginia Street in Reno. The improvements are part of the approximately $10 million in state highway funds NDOT dedicates to pedestrian safety improvements every year. Additionally, NDOT dedicates approximately $21 million annually in federal highway safety funds to roadway safety projects and programs.

RENO — Nevada Humanities celebrates the 26th anniversary season of Great Basin Young Chautauqua with the Great Basin Young Chautauqua Showcase.

Performances by Great Basin Young Chautauquans will be held on Thursday, June 28 and Friday, June 29, 2018, starting at 6 p.m. until 9 p.m. at Restless Artists’ Theatre located at 295 20th Street in Sparks. Seasoned Chautauqua performer Doug Mishler will serve as the evenings’ master of ceremonies and will share recollections of the Young Chautauqua and Chautauqua experience throughout the program.

The Great Basin Young Chautauqua Showcase will feature a series of performances by Great Basin Young Chautauqua scholars centered around the 2018 program theme “Creativity and Imagination.” Youth performances will feature historical characters that include: Carrie Nation, Randy Savage, Frida Kahlo, Mark Twain, Juliette Gordon Low, Grace Hopper, Hedy Lamarr, Madeleine L’Engle, Bob Ross, Babe Didrikson Zaharias, Hugh O’Brian, Susan B. Anthony, Evel Knievel, Layne Staley, Nikola Tesla, Roald Dahl, Robin Williams, Ludwig van Beethoven, Eddie Rickenbacker, and Dat So La Lee.

The full program will take place from 6:00 – 9:00 pm on both days. Doors open at 5 p.m. The event is free and open to all. Snacks and drinks will be available for purchase.

2018 marks the 26th year of Great Basin Young Chautauqua and the Young Chautauqua program in Nevada. Created and founded by Nevada Humanities in 1993, Young Chautauqua is a free, nationally recognized, award-winning program in which young people learn how to research and develop original dramatic Chautauqua presentations. Scholars, ages 8-18, select a historical figure and then spend months researching and rehearsing their characters. In 2002, Nevada Humanities received a Coming Up Taller Award from the President’s Commission on the Arts and Humanities for creating and developing Young Chautauqua. Young Chautauqua has spread to other Nevada communities and has been adopted by other states for use in classrooms and communities around the nation.

“For the past 26 years, Nevada Humanities has provided quality Young Chautauqua educational opportunities for youth in northern Nevada,” said Nevada Humanities Executive Director Christina Barr. “This year's group of Great Basin Young Chautauqua scholars are carrying forward this grand tradition with exciting performances at the Showcase. We guarantee you will be impressed with their entertaining theatrical performances.”

This program is made possible with the generous support of the National Endowment for the Humanities. Great Basin Young Chautauqua would not be possible without the help of our community partners who hosted public performances throughout the spring, including the Washoe County Library System, Washoe County Regional Parks, Galena Creek Visitor Center, Sundance Books and Music, Artown, and Swill Coffee & Wine.

Enrollment for the 2019 Great Basin Young Chautauqua program will open in January 2019. This program is free and open to all northern Nevada youth, ages 8 to 18. For more information about Nevada Humanities and Great Basin Young Chautauqua visit nevadahumanities.org or call 800-382-5023.

About Nevada Humanities: Nevada Humanities is one of 56 state and territorial humanities councils affiliated with the National Endowment for the Humanities. With offices in Reno and Las Vegas, Nevada Humanities creates public programs and supports public projects statewide that define the Nevada experience and facilitate the exploration of issues that matter to Nevadans and their communities.

As the Western Nevada Coyotes FC traveled to their away match that was played in Visalia, California the team was faced with adversity. While having a team lunch in Stockton, Calif., one of the team’s travel vans were broken into with player and the team’s equipment stolen.

The range goes from brand new kits that had never been worn to player’s beats headphones. The total outcome from this is $4,000 worth stolen without help from the Stockton police.

In response to this, the WNFC Coyotes have set out to taking what was meant for evil and doing some good! The team will be running at 3-hour Camp that will be instructed by coaches and players of Carson City based Western Nevada Coyotes FC, the No. 1 ranked UPSL Pro Development Team in the Country.

The camp will be held June 17 that will be working with at-risk school aged players to "Build the Future" Coyote Soccer Camp. Community partners are fully engaged in this to help select young people that could greatly benefit from this.

Mitchell Brickman, a strong center back for the Coyotes was one of the victims of this tragedy that lost a ton. Here is what Brickman had to say about the incident, “This is a major setback to myself and the club. The club and myself is showing tons of resilience to turn this incident into a positive. I believe this is what our organization is all about. I just personally ask and for all the others unfortunately involved in this incident for help, and in return we promise we will turn this around for the better of all society.”

No donation is too little and you can help send an at risk school kid to a camp ran by the Coaching staff and Players. Just follow this direct link to donate today https://squareup.com/store/western-nevada-fc. The club greatly appreciates all the support thus far as we turn something that was meant for evil and into doing some good.

Despite being named a finalist for the 2018 National Medal for Museum and Library Services, the Carson City Library was not among those selected for the award by the Institute of Museum and Library Services.

“Of course we are disappointed,” said Director Sena Loyd. “But it was a great experience as we went through the nomination process. We are so grateful for the support from this community.”

The Carson City Library was one of 14 finalists for the nation’s highest honor given to museums and libraries.

“The library is important because of the people it provides for and the people who make it happen,” said city supervisor Karen Abowd. “They have taken money and leveraged it and gotten the grant dollars to acquire 21st century technology.”

U.S. Congressman Mark Amodei toured the library, including the Makers Space where patrons can learn to sew, solder, use a 3-D printer or laser cutter.

“I’m impressed,” Amodei responded. “My hometown library is kicking ass.”

Loyd said the library will continue to operate as public hub for information and technology through its innovative programming and services.

“It is an honor that we were included in the nation’s top libraries for the work we have been doing,” she said. “The community can be very proud of its library.”

Go here for the list of winners.

Film lovers are invited to walk the red carpet for a night of glitz and glamour — while also raising money for arts programs in the community — as part of the Carson City Classic Cinema Club’s fourth annual Hollywood Gala.

“People really enjoy an opportunity to get all dressed up,” said Rhonda Abend, director of the cinema club. “This is a night for them to be treated like a star.”

“Casablanca” is the theme for the fourth annual gala fundraiser Saturday at the Gold Dust West.

Tickets are $45. A Private Reserve package — which includes an eight-seat table, additional raffle tickets, guest passes, a bottle of champagne and special recognition — for $350.

Doors open at 6 p.m. for cocktails and magic from Phoenix Phenomenal. An international buffet will be served at 7 p.m.

Festivities include a red-carpet photo op, entertainment, raffles, silent auction and a costume/fashion contest.
Bob Reid and June Joplin will perform live music.

Tickets may be purchased through the Carson City Culture and Tourism Authority or from any member of the Carson City Classic Cinema Club.

The club was formed nearly four years ago as a way to help students fund participation in the arts.

Abend came up with the idea after touring the Ron Wood Family Resource Center.

“My brain just kept going to, ‘Where do these kids play?’” she said. “I left that day in tears and told myself one day, somehow, I was going to do something for these kids.”

Forming the cinema club, Abend said, was the ideal method of fundraising.

“I love classic movies,” she said. “If I was stranded on a desert island, TCM is all I would need.”

Proceeds from the cinema club are used to sponsor children in arts programs or buying supplies for arts organizations.

The nonprofit organization presents a classic film the first Tuesday every month at the Brewery Arts Center’s Performance Hall, 511 W. King St.

When Rhonda Abend heard there was interest in organizing an outdoor movie series in Carson City over the summer, her reply was automatic: “As you wish.”

The Carson City Classic Cinema Club will be hosting a family-friendly movie one night a month in the McFadden Plaza.

“Who doesn’t love movies, and who doesn’t love being outside enjoying those summer nights,” said Abend, director of the cinema club. Go here to learn more about the Club's annual Hollywood Gala this Saturday, June 9.

The first movie, “The Princess Bride,” was rescheduled to July 26 after it was rained out last week. Local realtor and community activist Garrett Lepire advocated with the the Redevelopment Authority to acquire a daytime projector to make programs like this available.

“I’m a big proponent of providing activities for kids,” Lepire said. “The more opportunities we can give kids to have wholesome fun, the better off the entire community is going to be.”

The next showing will be “The Sandlot,” on June 21 in honor of the film’s 25th anniversary.

“Twenty-five years later, I can still almost quote every single line from the movie,” Lepire said. “We’re opening up the younger generation to some really good movies. It opens up and expands their world.”

Other films include “Alice in Wonderland,” “Monsters University” and more.

VIP seating on the patio of Bella Fiore Wines is available for $5 and includes free popcorn and table service.
“Bella Fiore, Scoups and the other merchants on the plaza have been great partners in this effort,” Abend said.

After five years with the Carson City Culture and Tourism Authority, Kyle Horvath has announced will be leaving July 15 to take the position as tourism director of White Pine County.

“The one thing I learned when I first moved here is Nevada is a big state with a tight family,” Horvath said. “That continues to be true. The relationships I’ve built statewide and throughout the West are going to be the same relationships that will benefit the tourism industry in Ely.”

Horvath started as a contractor proving social media services to the Carson City Culture and Tourism Authority in 2013. The following year, he was hired as the marketing manager.

“I started by developing a social media presence,” he said. “It was followed up by a redesign of the website and creation of the Visit Carson City app.”

He also focused on updating photos, videos and stories that represent the community as part of the rebranding efforts spearheaded by then-executive director Joel Dunn.

“If you want to refresh the image of a community, you start visually,” he said. "Then you tell stories that haven’t been told before. Telling those stories allowed me to dive in and gain a greater understanding of the community and the people who live here.”

Over his time in the position, Horvath said, he has seen positive results, including hosting the world-class Epic Rides mountain biking race, the Carson City Off-Road.

“People outside of Carson City are seeing it as a great place to visit,” he said. “Where before it might have been a place you drive through to get where you’re going, now this is a bucket-list place to check off.”

He credits that success to the work of the community.

“We never built a trail, but we supported Muscle Powered as they did,” Horvath explained. “We didn’t create art, but we supported the artists and organizations. We gave small businesses the tools to independently market themselves. Just being a part of this city’s renaissance has been the most satisfying.”

It’s the same formula he will follow as he transitions to his new job.

“The cool thing about Ely is even though it’s a small town, it has a ton of marketable assets under the same pillars we’ve built here — outdoors, history, arts and culture,” Horvath said. “Now it’s just a matter of working with local organizations and rolling up our sleeves to get the message out. I’m confident we will be successful if the community comes together the way it did here.”


He said he will miss the friends he’s made in Carson City, as well as serving on the boards of Muscle Powered, the Brewery Arts Center and the Downtown Business Association. However, he hopes those relationships continue.

“I invite the people of Carson City to make that pilgrimage across the Loneliest Road in America to come visit Ely,” he said. “It’s definitely a community you need to keep on your radar, if it isn’t already.”

Beginning this Saturday, June 9, and continuing on the second Saturday of each month, Carson Mall in Carson City will offer wine walks from 4 to 6 p.m.

The wine walks are hosted by Bella Vita Bistro & Catering and Carson Mall.

The wine walk is $15 for new walkers, $10 for returning walkers. Walkers receive a commemorative wine glass.

Carson Mall is located at 1313 South Carson Street.
