Chase International agent to appear on HGTV’s House Hunters

$

A new South Lake Tahoe couple brought along a little something special on their recent home search — a camera crew, an HGTV House Hunters crew, to be exact.

Travis and Morgan Fields were working with Chase International’s Angie Clark last spring when the Oakland couple decided to contact the popular show. Angie, already a huge fan, was immediately on board. The trio completed questionnaires and sent in audition tapes.

The experience was brand new to Angie, who has been with Chase International for six years. “The audition tape was a little daunting,” she said. “My husband filmed it for me and it took a few tries. We submitted the video and just thought that would be the end of that.”

But that was just the beginning. The network, which features an array of lifestyle, real estate, design, and renovation shows, responded within a week. After releases and scheduling, a crew came to film the house hunting process in late fall, wrapping up the shoot on the Monday before Thanksgiving.

The premise of House Hunters is to go behind the scenes as couples and families decide what is important to them in a home, see what is available in the area in their price range and ultimately decide which home is the best option. The show generally highlights three of the final homes before a decision is made. While Angie cannot discuss any specifics regarding how the show comes together or any specifications the Fields may have had, she does note that the Bay Area couple was looking for a vacation home in South Lake Tahoe.

As a resident of the area since 1978, Angie had no problem showing the couple, and the television crew, the ins and outs of purchasing a property in South Lake Tahoe. “This will be a great way to showcase the area and some local properties to a national audience.”

“It was a lot of fun for all of us,” Angie said. “We really enjoyed being superstars and seeing how it all works. I can now really appreciate what goes into making a single television program.”

Angie has worked in the real estate field since 2004, working in escrow before starting with Chase in 2008 as the assistant to the broker. Her first year out of the gates as a Realtor has proven to be an exciting one. “I love being a Realtor in Tahoe, I couldn’t live in a better place! My clients are always so excited to become part of our community and it’s great to help them reach their goal.” She looks forward to building relationships and making clients’ dreams come true in the months and years to come. The HGTV House Hunters episode is set to air in six to eight months. Angie is planning to have a viewing party with her fellow Chase agents, who were extremely supportive and equally excited about her recent brush with show business.

If you would like to contact Angie Clark with your real estate needs she can be reached at (530) 318-6622 or visit AngieTahoeRealty.com

Headquartered in Lake Tahoe, Nevada since 1986, with nine offices in the region (Zephyr Cove, Glenbrook, Incline Village, Tahoe City, Squaw Valley, Truckee, South Lake Tahoe, Carson Valley and Reno) and one in London, England, Chase International and its exclusive affiliations handle a large share of the country’s property. With 260 professional Realtors® boasting an array of industry certifications and the highest volume per sales agent in the area, Chase International successfully represents homes at all price levels.

It’s Your City: Broadway comedy ‘Harvey’ hits the Carson City stage

This week’s It’s Your City with host Cortney Bloomer is with Rachelle Resnick of Proscenium Players. The Carson City based theater group and the Brewery Arts Center present the Broadway comedy “Harvey” which launches Friday with several performances through the remainder of the month.

“Harvey” is a Pulitzer Prize-winning comedy by Mary Chase. It is a theater classic about Elwood P. Dowd, an amiable middle-aged man whose favorite pastime is drinking in bars with his best friend. This sounds perfectly normal — except for the fact his best friend is a six-plus-foot-tall invisible rabbit named Harvey.

Elwood explains Harvey is a “pooka,” a kindly but mischievous creature from Celtic mythology who carefully chooses those he befriends. Elwood’s sister, Veta Louise, and niece Myrtle Mae are naturally convinced that Elwood is off his rocker.

They conspire to have him committed to the local sanitarium so they can carry on with their social-climbing activities without the embarrassment Elwood causes when he casually introduces Harvey to their upper-crust acquaintances. In a series of comic misunderstandings, Veta Louise is the one who ends up committed, while Elwood wins the admiration of the staff —and perhaps convinces others that Harvey is much more than a figment of his imagination! Jimmy Stewart was nominated for an Oscar for his portrayal of Elwood Dowd, and Josephine Hull won an Oscar as best supporting actress for her portrayal of Veta Louise.

It's Your City guest Resnick is the director. Performances will be at the MHJ Box Theater of the Brewery Arts Center on Fridays and Saturdays, April 23, 29 and 30, beginning at 7 p.m. and Sundays, April 24 and May 1 beginning at 2 p.m. Go here for information on the Proscenium Players.

After Hectic Legislative Session, Some Clarification on ‘NVision’

$

CARSON CITY — Nevada’s 77th Legislative Session brought the Silver State into the national spotlight on numerous occasions as both legislators and individual pieces of legislation made headlines around the country during the four-month session.

Early in the session, the Legislature voted for the first time in its history to expel one of its members. Assemblyman Steven Brooks was ousted from his seat after several arrests and is currently facing two felony charges in California for evading an officer and resisting arrest during a car chase that took place in March.

Sen. Kelvin Atkinson publicly came out, saying: “I’m black, and I’m gay,” prior to the Senate floor vote on a resolution to repeal Nevada’s limitation on marriage. That measure passed in the Assembly on May 28 and is now one step closer to a potential public vote in 2016. Read More ›

WNC Baseball: Wildcats beat Coyotes twice but finish second

$

It was only fitting that Western Nevada College won its final game at John L. Harvey Field on a well-executed bunt by a power hitter.
Daniel Nist's two-out bunt along the third-base line brought home Chandler Barkdull, providing WNC with a 2-1 Scenic West Athletic Conference baseball victory over College of Southern Nevada on Friday in Carson City.

"I'm proud of that, very proud that Dan just wants to win," said WNC coach D.J. Whittemore of Nist's fundamental play. "It's not about him, and he gets it. It's about us. It's awesome team baseball."

Because of nasty weather on Thursday, the Wildcats completed a suspended game, played two seven-inning contests and honored their sophomore players and alums during the program's final day at John L. Harvey Field.

Earlier on Friday afternoon, the Coyotes wrapped up the SWAC regular-season title, 6-3, behind the combined eight-hit pitching of Mikey York and A.J. Jones. Their victory came after WNC rallied for a 4-3 victory in a game suspended on Thursday because of rain and lightning.

"They are the league champs for a reason," Whittemore said. "They have a great club. They have great pitching. They have great hitting. They are gonna be tough to beat on their field.

"Our guys did what they do: They showed up, competed, and CSN was better in the second game."

The Coyotes finished atop the SWAC standings with a 28-8 record, 1 games ahead of the Wildcats, who wound up with a 28-11 mark. The SWAC title means that the Coyotes will host the Region 18 tournament, which begins on Wednesday in Henderson.

"It's a baseball tournament, so anyone can win," Whittemore said. "We have the kind of pitching that might not scare anybody, but it's certainly good enough to beat anybody."

Many parents, alums and fans milled around the field afterward, taking pictures with the Wildcats and their coaches. Players and coaches from both teams were photographed with the Nevada state flag, and players signed autographs for children.

"To me, the important thing was sending them out in style and giving them the credit and the respect they earned and deserved," said Whittemore, who honored the team's 14 sophomores during a special ceremony between the second and third games.

Nist's game-deciding bunt in the bottom of the sixth came after CSN's Blake Wiggins tied the score in the top of the inning with a mammoth homer to left.

"They didn't expect it, and that's why I did it," Nist said. "The third baseman was way back, expecting me to pull the ball, and I just put it down."

Josh Mill and Jordy Van den Heuvel blanked the Coyotes on four hits through five innings. Jordan Ragan (5-1) got the win with an inning of relief ,and Kyle Thompson earned his second save by keeping the Coyotes off the scoreboard in the seventh inning.

"This program has meant so much to everyone, so much to me, and I've only been here one year," Nist said. "It's huge to go out with a 'W.'"

The full day of baseball started with Ty Fox striking out Jordan Hand looking with two runners in scoring position, securing the Wildcats' 4-3 come-from-behind victory.

"We decided to challenge him," Fox said. "(Hand) was over the plate because he couldn't hit that outside fastball, so I gave him the inside fastball."

During their final-inning threat, the Coyotes put runners on second and third bases with one out. Thrust into a pressure situation that Fox was familiar with earlier in the season when he served as the team's closer, the sophomore right-hander responded. First, Fox fanned CSN's No. 3 hitter Blake Wiggins, then he worked the count to 1-2 against cleanup hitter Hand. With Fox nibbling for the final strike, catcher Sam Salyers made a big play by blocking a 2-2 pitch in the dirt to hold the runners.

"I wasn't expecting them to score any runs off me because they didn't hit me that much, but once they started to do that I was like, 'Hey, settle down and hit my spots,'" Fox said.

CSN meant business when the suspended game resumed with two Wildcats runners on base in the fifth inning. Coyote coach Nick Garritano decided to bring in closer Alec Hutt to face DJ Peters. The move paid off as Peters popped up to second base, ending the threat.

The Coyotes then pounced on Fox, scoring the go-ahead run in the sixth. Drew Newson took a 2-0 fastball into the left-center gap, plating Brody Westmoreland, who started the rally with a one-out single.

WNC didn't flinch, coming back with two runs against Hutt in the bottom of the inning. Bradley Lewis' triple into the right-center alley fueled the rally. Abe Yagi cashed in Lewis with a single up the middle. With Hutt rattled, Nist executed a hit and run to move pinch-runner Brogan Secrist to third base.

Most of the large crowd in attendance knew what was coming next, and the strategy still worked. Casey Cornwell put down a bunt along the first-base line, squeezing in Secrist from third to put WNC in front, 4-3. Salyers followed with a walk to fill the bases, but Hutt kept the Coyotes within a run by retiring the next two Wildcats.
In the Coyotes' title-clinching victory, they scored all six of their runs - three on wild pitches by Chase Kaplan - in the third inning. CSN registered just two more hits, but the damage was done.

WNC nicked Mikey York for a run in the fourth inning. Lewis' double to left plated Peters. A.J. Jones, the Coyotes' winningest pitcher, relieved York in the fourth and fought his way through several WNC comeback bids to nail down the title.

The Wildcats cut the deficit to 6-3 with a two-run fifth inning. Eric Flores' double to left-center field started the rally. WNC loaded the bases with no outs when Cornwell singled and David Modler was hit by a pitch. But Cornwell was caught in a rundown between home and third base on a RBI single by Chad Bell. Tim Lichty added a run-scoring single, but Jones diffused the rally with a couple of strikeouts.

In the seventh, Bell and Peters reached base with one out. However, Jones struck out Lichty, and Lewis lined out to second to end the game.

"We competed, we bled and they came out on top this year," Peters said. "I'm sad today was the last game on this field."

Jordan Dreibelbis kept the Wildcats in the game with 4 2/3 innings of three-hit relief.

WNC (38-19 overall) will receive a first-round bye in the Region 18 tournament and play its first game on Thursday in Henderson.

"We're not done yet," Peters said. "We have a brand-new season starting on Monday. We'll be ready."

Manogue's defense proves too much for Carson on the baseball diamond

Manouge went straight to work with a single into left field, right after an error by Brandon Allen who fumbled the ball after a bunt. Then after a fielder's choice to get out number two, it looked like trouble early for the Senators, but a pop out to short stop made it a harmless inning with 1 hit, 1 error, no run top of the first.

Carson too would go straight to work with a walk by Josiah Pongasi and a sacrifice bunt my Dominic Norton to my Pongasi over to second. Chase Blueberg needed no time warming up at the plate and hit a towering two-run shot to left field to give the Senators the early advantage 2-0 in the after the first inning.

The action wouldn't cease for the Miners offense either, when Manogue's Webb Charles hit a double to deep left field. With a walk by Dustin Dutcher, Nelson threw down a sacrifice bunt to move both the runners over. Yet again, Manogue was within striking range and this time would take advantage of the opportunity. With a fielder's choice to pick up one for Manogue immediately followed by an infield hit to tie the score up 2-2 going into the bottom of the second.

Just when you thought things were going to slow down. Dustin Dutcher got on base by a hit by pitch, followed by a balk, Pongasi stepped up to the plate. He delivered a single to left field and score Dutcher all the way from second. The score after two full innings, Carson 3, Manogue 2.

Anthony Damonte stepped up to the plate and delivered a nice double to left center to begin the third, immediately followed by a walk by Bohach. Then Shawa would step up to the plate to deliver a 2 RBI double to left center, giving the Miners the first lead of the night at 4-3. Shortly after, a wild pitch put Bohach on third and Nelson was able to put the ball deep enough to score Bohach leaving the score entering the bottom of three with a score of 5-3 Manogue.

Gehrig Tucker started the bottom of three with a single up the left side, but didn't do much for the Senators and they didn't score at all in the bottom of the third. The Miners went 1, 2, 3 in the top of 4 with some nice fielding out up by the Senators. Manogue returned the favor with a strike out and two ground outs blanking the Senators with a 1, 2, 3 inning of their own.

The Miners were starting to get something going to start the the top of 5, but an unassisted double play by Pongasi certainly didn't make it easy. With a runner on third, Shawa cashed in an RBI with a double down the left field line. The Miners were threatening to strike again with runners on first and third, but a harmless pop out to Pongasi stopped the damage at only one run.

Dominic Norton would get the action going for the Senators with a single down the left side, but the Senators couldn't do much with it making three consecutive outs. The offensive production would take a halt for Manouge with another 1, 2, 3 inning. Following the new 1, 2, 3 trend, Carson followed suit with a three up three down inning of their own.

Finally breaking the trend, Clair Tros of Manogue hit a double down the third baseline followed by a bloop single over the shortstops head leaving runners with first and third. Then Shawa hit a sac fly to the second basemen deep in foul territory to put up the first run in a while and left the score coming into the bottom of seven at 7-3. Manogue would finally put away the game striking out the side. Final score of this one, Manogue 7, Carson 3.

UPDATE: A high speed chase that began in Mono County and went through Douglas and Carson City was scaled back Saturday morning after Nevada Highway Patrol troopers said the pursuit became too dangerous.

The pursuit of a silver Hyundai Sonata happened after a traffic stop in Mono County in which the driver was taken out of the vehicle and the passenger, identified as 26-year-old Geoffry Guess of Idaho, got into the driver's seat and sped away, said NHP Trooper Dan Lopez.

Speeds were in excess of 110 mph through Gardnerville, said Lopez. The pursuit continued through Carson City shortly before 9 a.m. with NHP trailing the supect driver along I-580 into Washoe County. Carson City Sheriff's Office deputies also pursued along with NHP but stood down at the Washoe County line.

"There were several attempts to overtake the vehicle but it became too dangerous," said Lopez. "Our concern is for the safety of other motorists on the road."

NHP said a suspect that was apprehended in Mono County who may be able to provide troopers with information about Geoffry Guess and the silver 2013 4-door Hyundai, said Lopez.

The vehicle was last seen northbound on IR 580 north of Bowers Mansion. The license plate is California registration 6VRP791. Guess is known to resist police officers and considered to be armed and dangerous, and possibly has warrants out for his arrest.

Anyone who may have witnessed this vehicle, or who can provide additional information, is encouraged to contact the Department of Public Safety-Communications Center at (775) 687-0400.

Fitness on a Wire: Reasons to start getting healthy

$
0

Have you given any thought to building your body up and increasing your overall health? Would you like a few reasons why you should?

Let's start with a tremendous gain in cardiovascular endurance. When you chase your kids you’ll be able to catch them. Endurance means your heart rate will drop and your heart will beat less to supply your body with the needed oxygen. The proper terminology is "greater stroke volume". You will achieve better circulation, and during cold winter months your body will benefit greatly from that increase.

Your new muscle strength will surprise you. Your ability to carry groceries will increase and your legs will last eight hours on the ski slopes. Large muscle groups such as your abdominals will tighten, (eventually). If you're lucky you might even lose sight of those chubby abdominals!

Now when was the last time you touched your toes without bending your knees? That's flexibility. How about scratching your back? Flexibility is essential for injury prevention, and for that sudden movement to prevent falling. It will also help when you reach across the table for that last pancake.

Weight loss, - that magic panacea, the carrot on the stick, the gold at the end of the rainbow. That is THE key reason that drives most people to fitness. I wish I could tell you that weight loss is the major result of fitness, but it is accomplished only if you lock your refrigerator.

UPDATE: A South Lake Tahoe woman faces felony charges of evading, assault with a deadly weapon, driving under the influence and driving on a suspended license after leading officers on a chase from Carson City to South Lake Tahoe on Sunday.

Two Carson City Sheriff's Office deputies were treated and released for minor injuries they sustained after the driver, Samantha Randazzo, 32, rammed a patrol vehicle and then refused to get out of the SUV she was driving, said Carson City Sheriff's Office Sgt. Earl Mays.

A deputy suffered injuries to his hand when he broke through the passenger side window to unlock the door. The other deputy was treated and released for injuries after the woman slammed into his patrol vehicle, said Mays. The names of the deputies were not available.

The chase began before 6 p.m. on South Carson Street near Carson Station. A deputy attempted to pull Randazzo over for driving erratically and suspecting she was under the influence. Randazzo instead continued driving south on Carson Street and then westbound onto Highway 50 over Spooner Summit. Officers in the pursuit said she traveled at a speed of around 55 mph in town and 70 mph up Spooner through light traffic. Douglas County Sheriff's Office and the Nevada Highway Patrol also responded.

Because of traffic in the South Lake Tahoe area, Randazzo was forced to reduce her speed to 35 mph to 40 mph. According to Sgt. Shannon Laney of the South Lake Tahoe Police Department, Randazzo hit about 50 mph as she went through the intersection of Highway 50 and Ski Run Boulevard.

The chase finally ended with an arrest at the corner of Highway 50/Lake Tahoe Boulevard and Tallac Avenue in South Lake Tahoe. The vehicle was stopped after it rammed the Carson City patrol officer's vehicle at around 6:20 p.m., said Laney.

A car stopped at a red light on Highway 50 and Tallac Avenue caused Randazzo to stop so a Carson City Sheriff's officer was able to pull his car in front of her. She slammed into his vehicle in an attempt to escape but was unable to do so, said Laney.

Library helps Carson City man make music

Ben Crocker has the music of between 250 and 300 arrangements stored on compact discs, which he uses in place of a band while he plays his guitar and sings. But when it came time to organize those songs into some kind of working order, he wasn’t sure where to start.

“I called everybody I knew who would know what I wanted to do,” he said. “They didn’t know how to do it.”
Professional services were asking $30 an hour or more to do it for him.

“So I just punted,” he said. “I called the library and got a nice lady who helped me tremendously.”

Susan Antipa, adult services librarian at the Carson City Library, helped him organize his CDs in a one-on-one tutoring session.

“If a patron has an issue we don’t teach a class on or is kind of unique, we find the person most qualified to help,” she said. That is in addition to the regular classes offered, including, keyboard and mouse skills, Microsoft Word, Excel, resume, email and social media.

“There’s so many people who just didn’t get on board with technology when it was first developing,” Antipa said. “Now, the find themselves behind. They can come here and take a free class.”

Crocker, 80, said the class was exactly what he needed.

“She was so helpful and so nice,” he said. “She knew how to get into the dummy’s head and twist the right knobs.”

Originally from Superior, Ariz., Crocker hitchhiked to Yerington to visit a cousin. That’s where he met Juanita — who he calls Neeter because, “she’s the neeterest girl I’ve ever met” — and married her when they were both 19.
He went to work for the Anaconda mining company before becoming an apprentice diesel mechanic.

“I got married at 19 and had three kids by the time I was 22, I had to work,” he said.

But eventually, he left the steady job to chase his dream. For 20 years, he traveled the country as the frontman in the band, Ben Crocker and the Dealers.

“We called ourselves that because we dealt in all kinds of music,” he said. “We played rock, country and standards. Just about anything we could learn.”

Although the worked mostly from Harrah’s Lake Tahoe, Crocker said, the band also spent a lot of time on the road. He credits his wife’s understanding during those years with the success of his 60-year marriage.

“She recognized that it was my passion, and she went with it,” he said.

After taking eight years off when the band dissolved, he is now back into playing music for fun. In addition to being booked to play at his grandchildren’s upcoming weddings, he has regular gigs at Bella Fiore Wine in Carson City. His next show will be 6-9 p.m. Aug. 22.

As for technology, he’s not done with that, either. He plans to transfer all of his songs from CD to files on a tablet, so he can organize a set list before a show, but also be flexible when someone has a request.

“i’m going to come back to the library for more classes,” he said.

Check out Ben Crocker at Bella Fiore Wines, 224 S Carson St., No. 8, 6-9 p.m. Aug. 22. To see a full list of classes offered, go to carsoncitylibrary.org or pick up a schedule at the Carson City Library, 900 N. Roop St.

Carson City sheriff's arrest log: One arrested for credit card fraud after foot chase

A 37-year-old Reno man was arrested late Tuesday night for felony credit card fraud, possession of stolen property, and possession of a controlled substance, while a second man with him was arrested for felony possession of a controlled substance, a Carson City sheriff’s deputy said.

Bradly Grove was apprehended by Carson City sheriff’s deputies at 10:59 p.m. in the 3800 block of U.S. Highway 50 East following a foot chase, the arrest report said.

According to the report, sheriff’s deputies responded at 10:26 p.m. to a complaint at a gym in the 800 block of Fairview Drive regarding a multi-vehicle burglary. Both vehicles had their front driver’s side windows smashed out, the report said, and one of the vehicles also had its driver’s side rear window shattered. Among the stolen items reported to deputies were a wallet, cash, driver’s license, phone, and credit cards.

The victim whose credit cards were stolen contacted her bank and discovered the cards were being used at multiple locations around town, the report said. The last transaction was tracked to a location in the 1800 block of North Edmonds Drive, and deputies drove to the area after identifying the suspect’s vehicle, a white extended cab Toyota pickup, on the gym’s video surveillance system, the arrest report said.

Deputies arrived at a casino in the 1800 block of North Edmonds Drive where a vehicle matching the description caught on video surveillance was found and stopped. Grove, the driver, was found occupying the vehicle at the time along with a male passenger, 57-year-old Jessie Archuleta of Carson City, the report said.

Both men got out of the pickup as deputies exited their patrol cars, and began rapidly walking away from the scene, the report said. The men were then instructed by deputies to stop and come back to their vehicle. Archuleta stopped, the report said, but Grove started to run and one of the deputies gave chase.

Grove was eventually caught and detained across the street in the 3800 block of U.S. Highway 50 East, the report said.

Upon Grove's arrest, a search of the suspect discovered a small bag of methamphetamine, a loaded hypodermic device, the reporting victim’s driver’s license and three credit cards in her name, the report said. Also found was the driver’s license of another victim and five credits in her name.

Grove admitted to breaking into both vehicles at the Fairview Drive location where the complaint was filed, the report said, and he admitted to using the credit cards of one of the victims at local stores.

Deputies discovered Grove had a prior burglary conviction and two outstanding warrants: one from Carson City Justice Court, and the second from Washoe District Court for possession of a stolen vehicle.

Meanwhile, Archuleta was questioned by one of the deputies at the traffic stop, the report said, and denied having anything to do with the vehicle burglaries and thefts. However, one bag of methamphetamine found on the ground next to the pickup was attributed to Archuleta, who admitted having dropped it.

Archuleta was booked into the Carson City Jail on felony possession of a controlled substance with bail set at $2,500.

Grove was booked on multiple felony counts, most notably credit card fraud, vehicle burglary, possession of a stolen credit card, and possession of a controlled substance. Bail is set at $20,000.

In other arrests:

— A 19-year-old transient, Kyle Lawrence Brazil, was arrested Monday afternoon at 12:58 p.m. in the area of Kit Sierra Way and Sherman Lane on felony possession of a controlled substance, the arrest report said.

According to the report, sheriff’s deputies responded to a complaint of a protection order violation in the 4100 block of Knoblock Road. Upon confirming the violation with the victim, deputies drove to a residence on Kit Sierra Loop, where the suspect, Brazil, was found driving a black Jeep Cherokee, the report said.

Deputies stopped the vehicle and detained Brazil, the report said. A search of the suspect discovered drug paraphernalia (glass marijuana pipe) and a small bag of methamphetamine.

Brazil was booked into the Carson City Jail for felony possession of methamphetamine, as well as misdemeanor violation of an extended protection order, and two misdemeanor outstanding warrants for violation of a suspended sentence issued by the Carson City Justice Court. Bail: $3,000.

— A 31-year-old transient, Paul Rentz, was arrested Tuesday afternoon at 4:33 p.m. in the 1800 block of Hamilton Avenue on felony ex-felon in possession of a firearm, a Carson City sheriff’s deputy said.

According to the arrest report, Rentz was detained by deputies after running from a suspicious activities call. A search of the suspect discovered a loaded .22 caliber Colt revolver contained in a jacket pocket, the report said. Bail: $20,000.

— A 25-year-old Carson City woman was arrested Tuesday morning at 9:59 a.m. at a residence on Royal Drive on misdemeanor first-offense domestic battery.

According to the arrest report, deputies were dispatched to the residence on Royal Drive for a protection order violation. The suspect reportedly stomped on her grandmother’s foot, the grandmother told deputies. The suspect had become very upset and out of control, the report said. When the grandmother tried to calm her, the suspect then stomped on the victim’s foot. Bail: $3,000.

— A 26-year-old Carson City man was arrested Tuesday night at 8:00 p.m. in the 800 block of East Musser Street on misdemeanor second-offense domestic battery, the Carson City Sheriff’s Office arrest report said. The suspect was booked on a warrant from the Carson City Justice Court. No bail is set.

Two female inmates in the Carson City Jail face felony battery charges after a fight erupted at around 3 a.m. on Sept. 6. Amber Shields, 21, and Kayla Marie Robbins, 20, each face a felony charge of battery by a prisoner.

According to the arrest report, Carson City jail officers spoke with a woman who advised there had been a fight inside the jail involving three women, the victim, Shields and Robbins and that the victim had been punched in the face and head.

Officers spoke with the victim, who confirmed she was punched and slapped. She was asked if she needed medical attention and she declined, the arrest report states. The victim said the fight started when there was an argument and she was telling the inmates keep quiet, the arrest report states.

The victim said Shields became upset with her and pushed her face into her face while yelling at her. The victim stated Shields reached back and slapped her with her right hand. The victim also stated that Robbins pulled Shields away from her to calm her down, the arrest report states.

The victim stated Robbins started yelling at the victim and Shields to calm down. The victim stated she called Shields a "bitch" and stated that Robbins told her not to call her friend a "bitch" and started punching her in the head and face.

Officers interviewed Robbins who stated there was an argument between Shields and the victim. Robbins stated Shields was face to face with the victim yelling at her and Robbins grabbed Shields away from the victim to attempt to calm her down. Robbins stated the victim started calling Shields a "bitch" and Robbins replied "don't call my friend a bitch" and turned around and started punching the victim in the head and face, the arrest report states.

Officers interviewed Shields who stated she got into a verbal argument with the victim and did push her face. She stated she didn't place her hands on the victim and said she didn't see any physical fight. Bail for Robbins and Shields, $20,000 each.

In other felony-related arrests:

— A Carson City man, Myron Buckley, 51, faces a felony charge of probation violation and three misdemeanor charges after an incident on Sept. 6, 10:47 p.m. in the 1100 block of Woodside.

According to the arrest report, officers were conducting a foot patrol in the Stanton Arms apartment complex due to recent ongoing gang activity and drug-related issues.

While walking in the middle of the complex the man, later identified as Buckley, began yelling and cursing at the officers. He refused to follow any instruction and refused to identify himself. Officers learned the man's name through someone in the complex. Nevada State Parole and Probation was notified and it was requested by the agency that he be arrested for parole violation.

When Parole and Probation stated they wanted him arrested, officers entered into the apartment where he was in another room, and he was told numerous times that he was under arrest for which the man replied "Under arrest for what?" the report stated.

Officers informed Buckley he was under arrest for violation of his probation. He was instructed to come out of the bedroom and put his hands behind his back. Instead, Buckley jumped out of a second story bedroom window which led to a foot chase through the apartment complex. A deputy located Buckley hiding in the shadows of the complex and in a confrontation the man was tasered, the arrest report states.

Officers handcuffed the man and transported him to jail. He faces the felony charge of being in violation of his parole, and misdemeanor charges of disorderly conduct, resisting without violence and obstructing. He was on a no-bail hold from the felony probation violation charge. The misdemeanor bail amount is $1,006.

— A 33-year-old transient faces a felony charge of possessing a controlled substance, and three misdemeanor charges. Travis James West was arrested in the area of Northridge and Lompa Lane at 10:26 a.m. Sept. 7.
According to the arrest report officers were attempting to locate the man who had two confirmed warrants for his arrest. Officers located West walking eastbound on Northridge Drive near the intersection of North Lompa Lane.

The man was contacted and placed into cuffs. Prior to the transport to jail officers searched the man for contraband. At this time, officers located a cloth pouch in the man's rear pants pocket which contained a crack pipe and a small plastic baggie containing meth. The charges are possession of a controlled substance, a felony, possession of drug paraphernalia, and two alternative sentencing warrants for his arrest. Bail: $9,637.

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

Don't give up...on life or your dreams

Don’t give up, on life or your dreams
There is a part in the movie “Tin Cup” where Kevin Costner’s character refuses to quit.
Professional golfer Roy McAvoy is on the 18th fairway in the final round of the U.S. Open, trying to clear the ominous water hazard separating him from the green.

His first ball falls well short of the green, splashing into the water. So does the second. The third. And the fourth shot. All the while, the entire gallery, the players and even McAvoy’s caddy are gasping at the futility of his efforts.
But not Roy.
With each failed attempt, he places a new ball on the spot and hits it with even more determination than the first.
Until finally, after several failed attempts, McAvoy’s ball clears the water and rolls into the cup.
And even though he didn’t win the Open, McAvoy had proven a point: Don’t give up. Keep trying.
Of course, there was a scene in the movie were McAvoy was ready to throw in the towel. Yet he was reminded of his dream and all that it had taken to get so close to it.
It’s easy to let long odds or repeated failures rule out our dreams. Just ask Rudy Ruettiger, the undersized and over-tenacious dreamer who ended up outlasting some of America’s most highly touted athletes to make the best college football team in the country.
Not only did he lack the physical prowess to play at Notre Dame, but Ruettiger also did not have the grades to gain entry into one of the nation’s most prestigious private universities.
As a result, many of Ruettiger’s contemporaries doubted him. His dream was just a dream and nothing more.
But Rudy was determined to prove everyone—including himself—wrong. Yes, even Rudy struggled with doubt.
He spent two years diving headlong into his studies at Holy Cross Junior College in an effort to qualify for admission to Notre Dame.
He was turned down every semester leading up to his final one of eligibility when he finally achieved acceptance.
Once there, the going got tougher for Rudy. He had to work extra hard and endure a high degree of ridicule just to win a spot on the football practice squad. He then took a tremendous physical beating from the varsity players against who he scrimmaged.
But no matter how many times Rudy got knocked down, he’d rise right back up on his feet to take yet another hit. He had collected two years’ worth of cuts and bruises just for an opportunity to suit up for one game.
Finally, Rudy had earned a spot on the team during its last home game of the 1974 season. In 1992, a movie was made in tribute to Rudy’s spirited achievement.
Everyone has a dream, no matter how far-fetched it may seem. But it’s up to each of us to decide how badly we want it.
As a kid, I had a dream to author my own comic strip to appear alongside Charles Schulz’s “Peanuts” and Jim Davis’ “Garfield.” But I let all of the little details in life get in the way of pursuing this dream. If it wasn’t college, then it was trying to land my first full-time job. If it wasn’t work, then it was graduate school. And if it wasn’t graduate school, then it was changing careers or the pursuit of a promotion.
I even used my growing family as reason enough not to pursue my dream.
Well, now I find myself in a place in life where the only doors that seem to be open to me at this time are related to my cartoon art and developing a comic strip. This occurred after a diagnosis that left me disabled and out of work. I have been unsuccessful in all other work-related pursuits outside of my artwork.
Right now, that is what is driving me. My dream is back, alive, well and thriving. I realized how much time I wasted with one excuse after another, and one reason after another for not chasing the dream that used to motivate me when I was younger.
Now the fire is back, and there is no greater satisfaction than chasing a dream with all the vigor of youth long past.
After more than 20 years of letting life’s little details distract me from a goal I set before even starting puberty, I am back on track. God willing, I will stay the course this time around. I don’t want any regrets. I don’t want to look back twenty years from now and wish that I coulda, shoulda or woulda done something different.
Perhaps the best thing about resurrecting my dream at this stage in life is that I am mature enough to understand and accept that failure is going to be part of the chase. It will test my determination and my resolve. A much younger me might have gotten discouraged and given up after the first couple of rejections.
No dream has ever been realized without a substantial amount of work, sacrifice, and disappointment. It doesn’t take much to dream. However, much effort is required to make it come true.
But if I can do it at a stage in life when most people are unwilling to change careers and take these kinds of risks, then so can anyone else with the drive and determination to chase a dream again.
Don’t be afraid to dream. Furthermore, don’t be afraid to fail. For dreams only die when we stop chasing them.
