Good morning, Carson City.

Carson City police arrested five men on Thursday and Friday for charges including felony firearm possession, controlled substance offenses, and warrant violations—one 37-year-old was stopped during a traffic stop with a loaded polymer 80 firearm and narcotics while others faced drug charges and outstanding warrants with bail set between $1,000 and $15,637.

More than 200 Carson City students and parents attended Mayor Lori Bagwell’s Attendance Hall of Fame event at Casino Fandango Thursday evening to celebrate improved school attendance.

Over 50 bikes were given as raffle prizes by more than 30 local sponsors — a program that honored students from local schools.

Gov. Lombardo signed Nevada's education budget bill Thursday evening, setting K-12 spending for the next two school years with permanent charter teacher raises and $5,000 bonuses for educators in hard-to-fill roles.

Lawmakers approved the measure before he signed it — making public school staff equal — while reduced revenue forecasts have raised concerns about future funding.

Western Nevada College held its commencement on May 21 at Oats Park Arts Center’s Barkley Theatre in Fallon, awarding 683 degrees and certificates to 595 graduates while the Carson City campus celebrated its own group two days earlier—WNC President J.

Kyle Dalpe and Foundation Board Trustee Lupe Ramirez underscored hard work and the worth of every graduate's story—drawing students from Nevada and 10 other states.

Attorney General Aaron Ford warned Nevadans that some over-the-counter hearing aid products may use misleading certificates that look like official FDA approval—registration only means the company provided information, not that the product is approved.

He advised residents to talk with hearing specialists, check trusted sources before buying, and report any deceptive practices to his office.

Today the Nevada Highway Patrol and Nevada State Police warned residents about scam emails posing as the DMV—emails that claim a ticket and threaten extra fines while asking for payment or personal information, and officials stressed they will not use phone, text, or email to request these actions.

Paige Thomason, a sixth-generation Nevadan, shares her mother-in-law Millie’s beloved potato salad recipe that uses waxy red or gold potatoes and hard-boiled eggs grated with a box cheese grater (a key tip for best texture).

The recipe details each step from boiling and chopping to a final sprinkle of celery salt, reflecting a long family tradition tied to Hellman’s/Best Foods.
