At the ribbon cutting ceremony held on Friday, quite a number of bees were seen buzzing around the new bee hotel soon to choose their future accommodation.

Released behind the Carson Tahoe Health Cancer Center at the trailhead of the one-mile long Serenity Trail on Thursday, 150 Mason bees couldn’t wait to be freed from their boxes by their foster mother, Debra Conrad, a member of the class who kept the bees until they could be released.

City officials were on hand to cut the ribbon and congratulate the Carson City Chamber Leadership Class of 2019 on the successful completion of their class project. Mayor Robert Crowell told the over 125 in attendance, “One-third of everything we eat is because of bee pollinators.” He further cited how proud he was that Carson City had been selected by the Xerces Society as the 76th Bee City USA this year.

The application to become a Bee City USA was submitted by the Great Basin Beekeepers of Nevada and Carson City Park, Recreation & Open Space with the pledge to provide healthy habitats for pollinators and to teach the community the importance of sustaining pollinators. Great Basin Beekeepers must report annually to the Xerces Society of their efforts to celebrate pollinators to be allowed to keep the designation as a Bee City USA.

Because of the Bee City USA designation, the Leadership class agreed to undertake the building of a bee habitat as their class project. They raised over $7,000, enlisted support from outside vendors, and oversaw the project from completion to the ribbon cutting ceremony. Class member Stephen Jones, Manager, District Operations for Southwest Gas was a part of the class and brought the concept back to Southwest Gas and their affiliate Arizona Pipeline Blue team to consider building a bee habitat as a volunteer project that fell within their stated scope “of enriching the quality of life of those around us.” It is estimated the volunteers of the Blue team donated about $40,000 in labor and materials for not only the actual structure, but for the improvement of the entire site.

There is much local public interest in bee preservation as seen by the number of hits received when the Chamber posted “bee updates” on their Facebook page. Some posts received more than 11,000 hits.

The new bee hotel is set up to be a teaching moment to those who pause to watch the bee activity. On the backside of the structure, a poster of the importance of pollinators was installed. On each of the sides are dedication plaques honoring those who made cash donations and those who participated in the Leadership Class of 2019.

It is the hope of the Class of 2019 that Carsonites acknowledge and learn of the importance of our friendly pollinators and limit the use of pesticides to provide a welcoming habitat to allow bees to do what they do best - pollinate for our future. They further encourage all to hike or bike the beautiful and shady Serenity Trail and to visit the Bee Hotel.

Carson City Leadership Institute is a legacy program of the Carson City Chamber of Commerce now in its 30th year. The nine-month program invites current and future leaders to better understand the community in which they live and work to be instrumental in leading Carson City into the future. The Class of 2019 will graduate on Thursday, June 13th. Applications for the Class of 2020 will begin in July.

June 17th kicks off Carson City Parks, Recreation & Open Space’s first annual Pollinator Week! Come out and celebrate pollinators and what they do for the environment at one or all of the many interpretive programs for the week.

The first event is on Monday, June 17th with a Pollinator Interpretive Hike that will start at 5:30 pm at the Longview Trail (2648 Kings Canyon RD).

The second event is a Tot Trek starting on Wednesday, June 19th starting at 10:00 am at Carson River Park. There will be a weeding event on Friday, June 21st starting at 8 am at the Pollinator Garden (1535 Medical Parkway).

On Saturday, June 22nd we will be having a Pollinator Garden Planting starting at 9:00 am.

Also, it’s encouraged to download the iNaturalist App and submit observations each day of Pollinator Week to be featured on our social media! This is a great way to be a part of Pollinator Week if someone can’t make it to one of our events.

For additional information on Pollinator Week 2019, contact Kelsey Stalker at 775–283-7711 or kstalker@carson.org or visit the Carson City Parks, Recreation & Open Space Department Facebook page.

A 28-year-old Carson City woman was arrested in the 400 block of Jeanell Drive for suspicion of domestic battery Friday night after allegedly striking her boyfriend of six weeks in the face with a notebook.

According to the report, deputies were dispatched to the residence in reference to a domestic battery. A man said he had been battered by his girlfriend of six weeks.

The man told deputies he had arrived home and heard a knock at the window, where he saw his girlfriend outside screaming and yelling.

He said he went to the front door of the complex to let her in, and she was holding a notebook in her hand When he opened the door she walked towards him and hit him in the face with the notebook.

He told deputies he believed she was on drugs. They both walked back to the apartment, and he walked into the kitchen, when she shoved him in the center of his chest with her hands.

At that point, he said, he left the apartment and went outside to call the police.

Deputies noted they did not see any visible marks on his face or body.

Deputies went and spoke to the girlfriend. When they approached the open door, they saw that the woman only had on a tan skirt, and deputies told her to put on a shirt. She disappeared from view, and deputies feared she would get a weapon so they followed her inside.

They found her in the bathroom as she was getting into the bathtub. They told her to come out, and she refused. The deputies grabbed her by her wrists and pulled her out of the bathroom, and she sat down on the floor int he kitchen area.

According to the report, the woman had large, dilated pupils and could not hold still.

Deputies asked her what had transpired that evening, and she begin telling deputies “some sort of story that did not make sense,” according to deputies. During their discussion, deputies asked her several times to cover her top half, and she refused.

Deputies asked her if she had a blue notebook, and she said she had a blue book that she “smacked (the boyfriend) upside the head” with. She then became extremely unintelligible with the remainder of her story, but she did admit to hitting the man with the book.

Deputies grabbed her wrists and pulled a shirt over her head to cover her before placing her in handcuffs. She became verbally uncooperative and began to pull away from deputies before falling to the floor. Deputies then physically carried her to the patrol unit and placed her in the backseat.

She was transported to the jail without further incident.

Bail: $3,137

A musical treat arrives at A To Zen in Carson City on Monday, June 10 with two solo sets of exceptional musicians: Brother Dan Palmer of Carson City and Kazoo Studios of Oakland, Calif.

Dan Palmer is best classified as an upbeat, observant singing songwriter specializing in Modern Americana music. Often compared to artists as diverse as John Mayer, Maroon 5, James Taylor, David Wilcox, Dan Fogelberg, Todd Snider, Dave Mason, and Harry Chapin.

Brother Dan's main focus now is his original music, and he draws from his extensive experience to craft well-written songs that have universal appeal.

His obvious love of various styles of music translates into hybrid combinations which are interesting and unique, and yet comfortingly familiar, which serve as an excellent vehicle for his at times intense and highly personal lyrics.

A to Zen is located at 1803 N Carson St in Carson City. The show is from 5 to 7 p.m.

See the website www.brotherdanpalmer.com.

Kazoo Studios is the leading artist of the band Mother & The Boards, a fierce blend of folk, funk and experimental rock with undertones of blues.

Kazoo Studios will play a solo set. Kazoo's vocal prowess is paramount to her original songs, carrying messages of action, collective power, and community engagement. Studios was born in the suburbs of New York City, growing up in the 80's with strong influences of the hip hop culture. Her music is unique and provocative reflecting a wide array of subjects and styles. See the website here www.motherandtheboards.com and go here to listen: https://soundcloud.com/motherandtheboards/

On Thursday at the Chamber's Annual Meeting, we welcome Lisa Lee as the 2019-2020 Chairman of the Board. She will be handed the gavel from current Chair Bob Fredlund as he moves to the Past President Position.

Kris Wells of AT&T moves from the board to the Executive Committee to take over as secretary/treasurer. All others move up one notch.

Saying goodbye to those who have served their full terms well are Gordon Gagnon of REDCO, Terrie McNutt of Silver Oak Golf and Peter Fishburn who was the Chair in 2017-2018. New to the board will be Stacy Woodbury of Southwest Gas, Bob Shouppe of CGI, Inc. and Diane Rush of Carson Tahoe Health.

The photo shows the coronation of Bob Fredlund at the 2017-18 Annual Meeting. Lisa is in the center surrounded by Rob Joiner, Lisa Gabel-Schmid, Peter Fishburn and Bob Fredlund.

Diego Elizondo returned to the boxing ring in the same fashion as he left it a year ago, with a draw Saturday at the Reno-Sparks Convention Center. Meanwhile, Reno’s J.J. Mariano won his pro debut by a fourth round technical knockout.

Elizondo, a 20-year-old lightweight from Carson City, started strongly but Sacramento’s Sergio Vega rallied with powerful left hooks to pull out a four-round draw. All three judges scored it 38-38. Elizondo’s pro record is now 2-0-2. Vega is 2-0-1.

“I set the pace in the first round and I believe I did enough to win the fight,” Elizondo said. “The first two rounds, I felt like I dominated. In the third round, I landed some good punches — I didn’t completely slow down.

The Carson High School class of 2019 said their goodbyes to teachers June 5, most of the teachers finished their grades the same day and checked out June 7, and a few remaining teachers volunteered to help with graduation Saturday.

To the teachers, Administrative Office Specialist Lavon Sollberger warned them by saying, “Don't get stuck at school because you have not posted your grades; have them posted by 2 p.m.” Sollberger sent a photo of one of the rubber ducks from the faculty and staff after school lunch competition and added, “The duck pictured above was not injured although he was in the lead by quite a bit; he decided that due to a false start he would voluntarily take himself out of the competition.”

The past week at CHS has been one filled with taking final exams, signing yearbooks, and talking about the future; however, no one should forget about the senior pranks, a common tradition throughout high schools around the country, CHS being no exception to the rule.

This year, CHS seniors definitely kept the tradition going as could be seen by the helium filled balloons popping and their glitter covering the white tiled floors throughout Senator Square. Security actually had to pay a visit to CHS in the middle of the night June 3 because the balloons popping set off school alarms. The next Class of 2019 senior prank presented itself in the form of bras and underwear placed on trees and the building’s front entrances.

Empty threats were made, and several students were subsequently asked to help remove the undergarments with no tension and a great deal of laughing. Another prank involved water-filled-balloons being rolled onto the floors at various locations around the school, and, last but not least, the colored chalk decorating of student and staff parking spots in the middle of the night June 4.

Let it be known, no damage was done to either the building or personal property. Traditions never fade here at Carson High School, so happy graduation to the CHS Class of 2019, and happy Safe Grad to all heading off to Great America, both to the amusement park and into the future of the country. 

Go here for graduation day photos and a list of CHS Class of 2019 graduates.

PHYSICS, ASTRONOMY CLASSES AND THE ULTIMATE RUSH

Wells: “We all have our time machines…those that take us back are memories...and those that carry us forward are dreams.”

Students said about the ride, “The ride is very fun, but it is scary on the drop because it takes your breath away.” Another went on to say, “The scariest parts are when you are freefalling and when you feel the tension.” Bean is also a telescope operator and volunteer staff member at the Jack C. Davis Observatory at Western Nevada College.

I’ve been noticing all the new seedlings coming up around the yard: Currants, Oregon grape, penstemons, sumacs, catmint, caryopteris, feverfew, hardy geranium and many more. I did not plant these; the birds did. The seeds spread in the wind or I accidentally spread seeds when deadheading.

My friend Peg moved last year and has been thinning out plants in her yard. She gave me pink hyacinths last fall that put on a beautiful spring display. She dug up columbines and sent some my way and they bloomed too. Yesterday she shared agastaches and cleomes that her friend started from seeds.

We have been in this house for over 30 years and when we moved in, the yard was simply trees in a line and lots of lawn. No flowers, no shrubs. I was working with the Cooperative Extension Master Gardeners then and they began to share plants with me.

TJ gave me lilac starts, which are now 10 feet tall. Catherine couldn’t wait to get rid of rhubarb and horseradish. Vi had juniper trees seedlings to share. Lois gave me beautiful yellow bearded irises. When no one wanted the tiny office Christmas tree, a dwarf Alberta spruce, I took it home and planted it. It is now over six feet tall and affectionately known as "Conehead." I planted a stick of a willow tree that soars above the nearby ash trees.

I haven’t grown agastaches or cleomes before. According to Sunset Western Garden book agastaches, which can reach over two feet in height, are “dependable, summer-blooming perennials with fragrant foliage …(that) make colorful additions to herb gardens and flower borders.” Cleomes grow four to six feet tall with open clusters of pink or white flowers.

Through the years I have moved seedlings of currants and others I mentioned around the yard adding to the depth of the landscape. It’s a good time of year to dig up and move your "gifts" around or plant swaps from friends. They are small initially, but with water and fertilizer plants grow to almost full size within a year or two. I have found that plants that volunteer do much better than things I buy.

They seem to have some established affinity with the site, raring to go, joining all their existing ‘friends’. Often gift plants from others do well too, possibly because I get them when they are tiny.

Transplant plants from your own yard or swap gifts with others. Let the planting begin!

The Greenhouse Project annual Benefit Concert under the Stars is July 10 featuring three great bands, Poco, Pure Prairie League and Firefall.

This year the event will be held on the beautiful grounds of Eagle Valley Golf Course in Carson City. Tickets can be purchased at www.carsoncitygreenhouse.org. Have summer music fun and support The Greenhouse Project in feeding the hungry and teaching youth about agriculture.

A 58-year-old Sparks man was arrested in the area of Robinson and Saliman Friday night for DUI first, failure to maintain a lane, and driving without a valid license.

The man was arrested after deputies were dispatched to the area on report of a possible DUI driver who was traveling west on William Street.

Deputies located the vehicle and performed a traffic stop for failure to maintain a lane. Deputies made contact with the man, who appeared confused and disoriented and could not provide his driver’s license to deputies.

Deputies asked the man to step out of the vehicle. The man needed to use the car for balance as he was unsteady on his feet, the report states. Deputies noticed a strong odor of alcohol emitting form his breath, and his speech was slurred as he spoke.

The man stated he did not want to take a field sobriety test, but agreed to provide a preliminary breath sample, which resulted in a 0.288 BAC. Bail: $1,277.

— A 42-year-old Carson City man was arrested in the 3200 block of Market Street on a warrant for violating his suspended sentence, as well as obstructing a public officer.

According to the report, deputies were dispatched to a local big-box department store on reports of an unwanted subject. Deputies met with security officers who told them the man was harassing customers inside of the store and the employees wanted him trespassed.

At first, the man gave a false name to deputies, using the correct last name but a different first name. Dispatch advised that name was clear of all warrants, but that a man with a different first name matching his description had a warrant. Dispatch advised the man on the warrant had a tattoo on his chest of a name. Deputies asked to see the man's chest, on which was the tattoo dispatch had described.

The warrant was issued out of Carson City Justice Court on March 28.

Deputies arrested the man on the warrant as well as for obstructing a public officer for giving a false name. Bail: $3,412; $3,000 cash only.

Dream Big Award: Southwest Gas and Arizona Pipeline
Southwest Gas and Arizona Pipeline have proven that giving back to the community is more than just giving checks to charities, it’s about motivating their employees to give of their time and getting them excited over a project that is a winner for the entire community including the two companies. When the Chamber’s Leadership Institute Class of 2019 decided to create a bee habitat as their class project, class member Stephen Jones, Manager of District Operations, brought the idea back to the employee-volunteer team called Blue — Building Lives Up Everywhere – who jumped at the chance to create a five-star bee habitat from inception to completion.

The team not only designed and built the structure, they graded and made major improvements to the site courtesy of Arizona Pipeline. From a small idea to a major accomplishment, it is anticipated about $40,000 in volunteer time and materials was invested in creating a bee habitat for all Carsonites to enjoy. The Blue team took to heart the anonymous quote, “Think big, dream big, believe big, and the results will be big.”
