Fourteen rural Nevada counties will have an insurance carrier through the state exchange in 2018, ending a period of uncertainty about coverage.

Gov. Brian Sandoval announced that the 2018 carrier for rural counties will be SilverSummit, a subsidiary of Centene.

SilverSummit has never provided insurance through the Silver State Health Insurance Exchange, which provides coverage through the Affordable Care Act.

State officials began scrambling this summer to find coverage for the counties after both carriers dropped coverage, citing market uncertainties.

Having no carrier in 2018 would have impacted more than 8,000 rural Nevadans.

Authorities say an accused squatter issued bogus “court” orders against a Las Vegas detective.

Thomas Benson and Marina Calove, who is listed as a “Superior Court” judge in at least some of the supposed rulings, have been indicted.

They were charged with interfering with a public officer, preventing or dissuading a person from testifying or producing evidence, and bribing or intimidating a witness to influence testimony.

This is the third time this year Benson was hit with criminal charges in Southern Nevada.

Climate change is starting to affect flights in Las Vegas.

As temperatures rise, air becomes thinner, making it difficult to take off.

The extreme summer heat prompted one airline to suspend service for the season.

Another carrier adjusted its departure schedule to take off in the cool morning hours.

And dozens of flights were canceled or rescheduled during a heat wave last month.

Temperatures soared to a record-tying 117 degrees in Las Vegas.

Experts say this is just the beginning.

As temperatures continue to rise, 10 to 30 percent of full planes might have to lighten their loads in order to take off during the hottest times of the day.

Las Vegas police arrested a man Sunday after a toddler in his care went to a hospital with potentially life-threatening injuries.

Craig J. Dickens, 34, faces two counts of child abuse with substantial bodily harm.

Dickens is being held at the Clark County Detention Center on $20,000 bail.

At 2:40 a.m., police responded to reports that an 18-month-old had fallen out of bed and suffered serious injuries at Siegel Suites.

The child was taken to Sunrise hospital.

Detectives said the explanation offered by Dickens did not account for the severity of the child’s injuries.

The relationship between the child and the man was unclear.

A neighbor said she reported possible abuse to security at Siegel Suites in July after overhearing “blood-curdling screams” of a child.

Nevada officials are moving ahead with a $57.8 million freeway project near Apex Industrial Park.

It’s happening even though Faraday Future decided not to build an electric vehicle plant there.

A five-mile stretch of U.S. Highway 93 will be widened from Interstate 15 to Apex Power Parkway in North Las Vegas.

Work is expected to start by March on the Garnet interchange, and completed by the end of 2018.

Preliminary plans called for building a costly flyover bridge to Faraday’s plant, but that plan has been scrapped.

NDOT officials said they hope to see some growth soon at the Apex complex.

A 62-year-old man is arrested in connection with a threatening note left near Sen. Dean Heller’s Las Vegas office in July.

Richard Holley was booked into Clark County Detention Center without incident.

Police responded to a burglary alarm at Heller’s office on July 16 and found a note near the door.

Holley faces charges of extortion, burglary and intimidating a public officer.

Barry Manilow, 74, is reportedly interested in returning to residency in Las Vegas in 2018.

He has apparently been investigating venues on and off the Strip.

He previously headlined at the old Las Vegas Hilton (now Westgate) from 2005-2010.

He then moved to Paris Theater for two years, closing in December 2012.

Sources say he is reviewing a four- or five-night-per-week residency and is interested in a major Strip theater “miniresidency.“

Westgate officials attended Manilow’s Aug. 5 show at the Forum in Inglewood, California.

Manilow’s current tour closes Oct. 6 in Allentown, Pennsylvania.

His 2018 schedule is mostly open.

A University of Nevada, Reno, student was identified as a marcher in a white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia

Peter Cvjetanovic, 20, denounced the violence that led to three people’s deaths.

A photo of Cvjetanovic at the rally went viral on social media.

The event was staged to protest the mandated removal of a statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee.

Cvjetanovic wrote that he “went to honor the heritage of white culture here in the United States,”

He said: “I recognize the need to acknowledge both the good and bad of white history as it has made the nation we have now. All people have the right to their culture and their history including jews, african-americans, and white americans. I do not advocate for violence and certainly not the death of anyone. Today became a tragedy with the three fatalities.”

Social media posts are calling for his expulsion from the university.

UNR President Marc A. Johnson said the rally’s message does not reflect the university’s egalitarian values.

Six tips for driving in school zones:

1. Slow down. The limit is generally 15 miles per hour when school is in session.

2. Stop for school buses with flashing red lights and “stop” signs extended, regardless of which direction you’re headed

3. Don’t make U-turns

4. Don’t pass other moving vehicles

5. Obey the directions of crossing guards

6. Come to a complete stop when children cross the street

A 15-year-old girl called police Sunday night to tell them her stepfather shot her mother and then himself.

About 8:30 p.m. Sunday, a neighbor reported hearing gunshots at Chateau Versailles Condominiums near Cliff Shadows Parkway.

Police say a 44-year-old man shot his wife, 46, multiple times before shooting himself in the head.

The couple had no prior domestic violence reports.

Officers arriving at the scene helped the girl get out of the condo through a window before they entered and found the bodies.

3. We still have a few years until The Raiders take over Las Vegas, but one investor group is getting in on the land near the stadium early. Property records show Global Trust Group bought 2.5 acres of land for a little over $7 million earlier this week.
