Open burning started Saturday and will be responsible for a cloud of haze and people calling 911 than any other source for the next few weeks.
If you want to burn, visit the East Fork Fire & Paramedic Districts Web site, or pick up an application in person at the Minden Inn. And when you do burn, remember to call in or you'll receive a visit from our friendly firefighters who've come to douse your fire.

Tilly the Witch will be telling spooky stories for children at the Douglas County Public Library tonight at 6:45 p.m. Children are encouraged to dress up in their Halloween costumes in preparation for the big night of Trick or Treating on Tuesday.

What's really scary is that there's still a full week until election day.
