The April 4, 2023, R-C Morning Report

Genoa, Nev. — There’s a new Farmers Market operator in Gardnerville if Town Board members approve a contract with Teressa Bennis of Just a Drop essential oil and gift shop to take over from Sierra Chef. The town board meets 4:30 p.m. today at 1407 Main St.

A 1.9-mile trail between Gardnerville and the Ranchos has been at least a 20-year goal for Douglas recreation. Estimates are that the trail will cost $6 million, in part because designers have to figure out how to get across the East Fork, which will require a $1.5 million bridge. The Town Board is expected to approve a letter for a grant today.

Suicide Prevention Network is hosting a Be the Change session on mental wellness and recognizing the signs of depression 1-2 p.m. today at the Douglas County Community & Senior Center on Waterloo. You can find out more at www.spnawareness.org

The East Fork Fire Protection District Fuels Team is getting a start on the season up in the North Valley. When they’re not fighting fires, they clear brush and make power poles fire resistant.

The sun is out on this chilly morning and the sky is clear. My hope is that Monday’s snow squalls are winter’s last gasp, but I know better. There’s a chance we might see some weather on Friday, but otherwise high temperatures are going up, hitting the upper 60s by Easter Sunday.

Expect sunny skies and a high temperature of 41 degrees. The wind will is forecast to pick up 5-10 mph out of the northwest. Expect the low to hit 22 degrees tonight.
