Each year, the national non-profit organization coordinates wreath-laying ceremonies at Arlington National Cemetery as well as more than 1,200 locations across the U.S., at sea and abroad. Last December marked the inaugural event of Wreaths Across America in Carson City and was organized by the Carson City Squadron of the Civil Air Patrol.

Tiffani Barber was diagnosed with stage four brain cancer on Dec. 8, 2012. For those of you who didn't know Tiffani, all she ever wanted to do was help people.

So it was no surprise to those closest to her that when the social worker assigned to her case asked her what she needed, Tiffani replied with, "How can I help?"

After much discussion, she found out that Lucile Packard Children's Hospital was in grave need of sealed toys for the children who have no immune system and have to have brand new toys. They couldn't even leave their hospital room.

Tiffani got busy calling her sister, Bailee, to put out boxes all over Carson City to collect toys, while Tiffani got busy spreading the word on social media from her hospital bed.

Tiffani had one wish: It was to please keep this Toy Drive going after she passed. That's exactly what her sister, Bailee, and family have done.

So please help us, help these kids! Thank you from the Bottom of our hearts.

A 44-year-old Carson City man was arrested Sunday, 1:20 a.m. for suspicion of a second DUI, obstructing an officer, driving on a revoked license and probation violation, a sheriff’s deputy said.

According to the arrest report, a deputy observed a man stop his vehicle alongside a building and not in a designated parking lot and then move toward a closed facility. The deputy utilized his loudspeaker and asked the man to stop multiple times. The man continued to walk toward the south end of the building and then took off running. The officer chased and caught the man.

He provided a deputy with a driver’s license, which a records check showed the license had been revoked after a DUI conviction in June 2018. The man had a strong odor of alcohol on his breath. The deputy asked the man if he had been drinking. The man replied he had. He refused to participate in field sobriety tests but provided a preliminary breath test of .165. He was arrested for suspicion of a second DUI. At jail he provided evidentiary breath test with results over the legal limit of .08. Bail: $4,186.

In other arrests:
— A 25-year-old Carson City man was arrested early Monday for suspicion of DUI and failure to maintain a lane after crashing into a fence pillar in the area of Northridge and Wilma Drive, a Carson City sheriff’s deputy said.

According to the arrest report, deputies were called at 12:18 a.m. to the area for a single vehicle accident. The reporting party stated the driver hit her fence pillar and there was only one person inside the vehicle. The reporting party also stated the driver was possibly intoxicated.

Upon arrival the deputy observed a silver Subaru crashed into a fence pillar. The vehicle was facing east on Northridge. The right front side of the vehicle was lifted onto the pillar. Both front tires were completely off the ground.

A deputy spoke with the suspect who was outside the vehicle who admitted he was the driver of the vehicle and the sole occupant. The officer could smell an odor of alcoholic beverage on the man’s breath and observed slurred speech. The man agreed to participate in field sobriety tests. He provided a preliminary breath test of .106. He was arrested for suspicion of DUI. At jail he consented to a blood draw. Bail: $1,224.

— A 22-year-old Mound House man was arrested early Saturday, 2:10 a.m. in the area of Centennial Park Drive for suspicion of DUI, a sheriff’s deputy said.

According to the arrest report, a deputy observed a Jeep in the area of the Centennial Park baseball fields with its lights on, engine running and a door open. The officer went to the vehicle and observed the suspect was holding a Four Loko alcoholic beverage in his hand and was passed out.

The officer attempted several times to wake the man. Eventually he did wake up and smelled of alcoholic beverage and had extremely thick, slurred speech. The deputy asked the man to turn off the vehicle, which he complied. The deputy also asked the man what he was doing. The man replied “drinking and driving,” the arrest report states. He agreed to standardized field sobriety tests and showed signs of impairment.

He provided a preliminary breath test with a .216 result and was arrested. He was read the voluntary evidence request for breath test or blood test. The man stated he wanted to speak with his attorney. The sheriff’s office contacted the District Attorney’s Office and asked for a search warrant for the man’s blood for a DUI test.

Carson City Board of Supervisors will hear of plans Thursday to expand the sheriff's office by re-implementing the Traffic Enforcement Program, which was suspended eight years ago due to budget cuts because of the recession.

The meeting will take place on Thursday, Nov. 15 at 8:30 a.m. in the Carson City Community Center’s Sierra Room, located at 851 East William Street.

Prior to 2011’s budget reductions, the Sheriff’s Office staffed a full time Traffic Enforcement unit consisting of four full-time employees. From 2004 to 2010, there was a 55 percent reduction in traffic accidents as a result of the full-time unit enforcement and education efforts.

Since 2011, traffic accidents have increased by 66 percent, and DUI’s have nearly doubled, according to data from the sheriff's office.

"It has been 8 years since this program was eliminated. We have all seen the horrific accidents on our roads and at our crosswalks over the past few years. Our data has shown us traffic enforcement does work," said Carson City Sheriff Ken Furlong.

At least two positions are needed to restart the program, with a possible third position added later, said Furlong.

Also on the agenda:
— A proposal to end the Senior Citizen’s Assistance Program for the payment of sewer use fees and water service and commodity charges will be discussed at the November meeting.

The proposed ordinance repeals in its entirety Chatper 12.04 of Title 12 of the Carson City Municipal Code, which sets forth provisions for applying discounts in certain utility rate payments for senior citizens based on household income.

Instead, there is a proposed provision which would provide all residential ratepayers with payment assistance based on the federal poverty guidelines regardless of age, with such assistance to be made on a first come, first served basis.

— A five-year lease agreement for a new office space to house the Carson City Health and Human Services’ Women, Infants, and Children program will be discussed at the Nov. 15 meeting.

The current WIC clinic is being housed in the Douglas County Community Center, and is managed by Carson City Health and Human Services.

For several years, the space has met the requirements established by the State of Nevada WIC program. However, the landlord recently requested that the clinic be downsized, which would make the clinic fail to meet the state requirements.

For the remainder of 2018 and 2019, the cost would be just shy of $10,500, which would be reimbursed by the WIC grant.

— The Board will also discuss purchasing radio equipment through the Nevada Shared Radio System Purchase Agreements with Harris Corporation, for a total amount of $500,000.

According to the proposal, Washoe County and NDOT have executed contracts with Harris Corporation in association with the Nevada Shared Radio System P25 improvements.

The new contracts provide for significant savings over previously approved joinder contract rates (72.2 percent discount vs 30 percent discount).

Public works is requesting approval to purchase directly from Harris Corp. through joinders to these contracts in order to realize significant savings.

For the entire agenda for the upcoming meeting, click here.

There will be another three-night string of musical incidents this winter at Lake Tahoe.

String Cheese Incident will perform Thursday through Saturday, Feb. 21-23, in the MontBleu Theater.

General sale tickets start at 10 a.m. Friday and are $69.50 or $199 for all three shows. Presale tickets on the SCI Tour page start at 10 a.m. Wednesday. LINK

The band is celebrating its 25th year.

The Brewery Arts Center in Carson City will feature the return of Blarney Man this Saturday as part of the Celtic Music Series.

This one-night-only engagement will be in the Maizie Harris Jesse Black Box Theater at the BAC, 449, W. King St., in Carson City. The show begins at 7 p.m.

Keith Shannon, the Blarney Man himself, is a one-man encyclopedia of favorite Irish ballads and sing-alongs. Jovial and personable, Shannon taps into the rich Irish history of storytelling through song, drawing from traditional and contemporary sources to create a delightful evening of Irish, Scottish and Celtic songs that will have you humming and whistling on your way home.

Shannon is currently playing extensively throughout the Midwest and the Pacific Northwest. Last year, he entertained a near-capacity crowd in the MHJ Black Box Theater and is excited to return to the Brewery Arts Center.

“Blarney” is defined as smooth, flattering talk; often nonsensical... and so it is with the Blarney Man; smooth, flattering song, which is often nonsensical.

Keith Shannon will entertain you with songs and stories with a presentation of Irish, Scottish, and Celtic music. The music is inviting and you'll find yourself singing and clapping along in short order. His passion and love of the music is contagious. Keith explained, “If you are Irish, you will find yourself home again — and if you are not, you soon will be!”

Ticket prices are $15 for BAC Members, seniors, and students, $18 in advance, and $20 at the door. Tickets can be purchased through the breweryarts.org website or by calling the Brewery Arts Center Box Office at 775-883-1976.

The Celtic Series presents great Celtic artists on the second Saturday of every month through May. Upcoming shows in the Celtic Series feature the best in local, regional, and international Celtic musical artists.

In January, the Brewery Arts Center is excited to present the return engagement of high energy Scottish music of The Fire, an audience favorite featuring fiddle, guitar, and highland bagpipes.

In February, Tres Noctambule returns with their intricate, lush music, featuring award-winning mandolinist, Marla Fibish. In time for St. Patrick’s Day in March, the Celtic Series features the hard-driving Celtic music of local favorites, Cíana. Tickets are already selling for these incredible shows, so reserve your ticket now.

The Carson City Republican Party will hold its regular monthly meeting on Thursday, Nov 14, 7 p.m. at the Carson Nugget. Noreen Leary from the Veterans Guest House in Reno will be the guest speaker. Come early at 6:30 p.m. for our social time before the meeting.

“We have buildings full of stuff,” said Kathy Ingvoldsen at the Butte County Fairgrounds, according to the publication. “In four hours, we filled up a 5,000-square-foot building full of clothes. They’re stacked up on tables five feet high.”

SILVER CITY, Nev. — Carson City’s recognition of the importance of arts and culture to a thriving community is very much in line with that of nearby Silver City. The Comstock town is known as an "Arts and Cultural Resources Production Center" due to the work residents have contributed in the fields of arts and cultural resources.

With a similar focus on supporting arts and culture, Carson City's detailed Arts and Culture Master Plan defines culture “as everything from language, oral traditions, history, ethnic heritage, music, visual arts, folk arts, media arts, film, dance, theatre arts, design, fashion, architecture, foodways, social customs, and community rituals and celebrations.”

Over the years, Carson City has both built and expanded its arts and culture events, programs, and initiatives. However, in the past two years, Carson City has shown an increased dedication to the arts with the hire of Mark Salinas, the city’s first Arts and Culture Coordinator, a cabinet position under City Hall.

Working closely with its Cultural Commission, Carson City has supported some of its most widely known cultural events including annual powwows, a month-long jazz festival, dynamic art exhibitions and lectures in public spaces, and numerous theatrical performances.

It seems a new public revival of the arts is now in session with a new community radio station (KNVC 95.1FM), a popular museum fashion film series, Levitt Amp grants providing free summer concerts, and a National Endowment of the Arts Big Read grant.

Newly acquired public art in the form of wheat pastes and sculptures by such artists as Deon and Trish Reynolds and Mischell Riley join new pop-up installations by local artists in City Hall and the Senior Center. The Carson City Cultural Commission, established in 2008, has even updated its own community profile with the addition of its first Latina, first Native American, and the youngest municipal Cultural Commissioner in the state of Nevada, Mylo McCormick. Collaboration and communication among disciplines and across borders have become the benchmark of success in Carson City.

Historic Silver City, located about 12 miles from Carson within a National Historic Landmark, has a concentration of residents working in the arts and/or career fields related to cultural resources. Over the last 50 years the community of less than 200 people has been responsible for a body of work that has had a demonstrably positive impact on the town, the state and beyond.

Accordingly, in 2014 the Silver City Advisory Board recognized the existing character of Silver City as an "Arts and Cultural Resources Production Center", and formally proclaimed the considerable work residents have contributed and continue to contribute to the production of important work in the areas of arts and cultural resources. The Board also formally recognized the extraordinary support the community has given to give to local arts and cultural resources production, events, and programming.

Today the town has arts and historic preservation groups, a resident artist program that attracts award-winning writers and artists from around the world, and an annual summer arts and science program with public programming such as concerts, exhibitions, poetry readings, art workshops, children’s engineering and science activities, etc.

Following through on a Master Plan goal to “support artists, arts organizations, arts-related businesses and audiences throughout the urban, suburban and rural communities in and around Carson City”, the capital city has consistently promoted Silver City’s many events through their own city’s tourism department, arts coordinator, and cultural commission. Nonprofit arts groups in Carson, such as Capital City Arts Initiative and Carson City Arts and Culture Coalition, and Carson’s community radio station KNVC 95.1FM, have also been extremely supportive of Silver City events and have helped promote them.

Likewise, the Silver City Arts group frequently cross-promotes Carson City’s many arts and culture events, as well as those of Silver City, Virginia City, and Reno/Tahoe, in their monthly e-newletters to arts lovers in the Northern Nevada region. Local volunteers formed the Silver City Arts group in 2014, with the goal of “encouraging the arts, building community, and sharing our unique town through free, public events."

Drawing on the community's own rich resource of artists, they host music, visual arts, and poetry events and programs. They also connect with outside groups to bring programming from visual, literary and performing artists from around the U.S. and the world.

All of these elements: event cross-promotion, enthusiasm for the arts, and a similar view of the centrality of arts and culture to strong communities - came together last month when the Silver City Town Advisory Council recognized Carson City as an “arts and culture sister city” to Silver City.

The proclamation, which will be formally presented to Carson City elected officials and to Carson City's Arts and Culture Coordinator during the Silver City Advisory Board meeting on Tuesday, Nov. 13 at 7 p.m., reads in part, “the Silver City Town Advisory Board proclaims its desire and intention to formally declare Carson City a valued ARTS and CULTURE SISTER CITY in appreciation of Carson City's history of promoting the arts and culture of Silver City and in recognition of our mutual understanding that arts and culture are pathways to maintaining our vibrant communities.”
