Genoans believe there may be two bears prowling the town. Bill Brooks told members of the Genoa Town Board that his neighbor went "nose to nose with a bear" Wednesday morning while taking out her trash. Most of the residents at the Genoa Town Board meeting on Wednesday night said they'd had an encounter of the closest kind with an ursine over the past week.
Members of the East Fork Swimming Pool District are being asked to pay one quarter of the cost of landscaping the roundabout located at Highway 88 and County Road. Also on pool trustee's agenda 7 a.m. today are a request from Douglas County Sheriff's Search and Rescue to pay reduced fees for the use of the pool and reviews of the pool's ultraviolet light disinfection system and its solar energy project. Swimming pool trustees meet at the Carson Valley Swim Center in Minden.
Two accidents were reported within minutes of one another on Wednesday afternoon, but neither appeared to result in any injuries. A three-car fender bender was reported at Waterloo Lane near Eastern Sierra Feed. The other occurred at Highway 395 and Johnson Lane and was reported as a semi hitting a fence.
It will be a genuinely nice day today if the forecast can be believed. The high temperature is expected to hit 86 under sunny skies. It's already cooler with the low in Genoa this morning at 53 degrees. Friday will warm up to 91 but the weekend will top off at 93 degrees. That's not too bad for the last weeks of July.
