Senator Square: Reminder: No dogs allowed on new track

Carson High School would like to seek the help and cooperation of the community.

On the weekends and after school, people are bringing their dogs and walking on the new track and field complex.

The dogs are leaving their waste on these complexes and are damaging them severely.

Dogs are not allowed on school grounds unless they are service dogs. Please keep dogs off school grounds so we can preserve our great facilities for the students and community.

The CHS ski team is hosting an MSP Films double feature beginning at 7 p.m. Friday at the Carson City Community Center to benefit the Carson High Ski & Board Team.

MSP Films takes an original look at the sport of skiing. All of the skiers in the film - park rat or big mountain charger - share a common bond: the overwhelming desire to ski.

Each person gets stoked in his own unique way, whether it be a double cork 1260, a deep turn on a storm day or ripping a giant AK line. Skiing is an incredibly diverse sport that offers it all.

With the progressive skiing and award-winning cinematography that has made MSP famous, MSP Films takes you along for the ride deep into the experience as we share the love for the greatest sport in the world.

Tickets are $10 (double-feature) pre-purchased at the Sporting Rage or $15 at the door.
