Genoa, Nev. — The Carson Valley Almanac is out on news stands this morning. The award-winning annual magazine is celebrating its 40th edition this year.


The Assessor’s assessment, sales and personal property web sites are still down this morning.

Regional Transportation Commissioners will discuss the five-year transportation plan update when they meet 4 p.m. today at the Douglas County Courthouse, 1616 Eighth St.


The Bently Nevada Concerts in Minden Park are back with the first set for May 21 featuring the Americana band Hot Buttered Rum, according to the poster hanging on the Raley’s bulletin board. I checked the band’s website, and they think they’re coming that day, too.


Expect Minden’s warmest day so far in 2021 with 84 degrees under sunny skies. The westerly 5 mph breeze won’t provide much cooling this afternoon. April 4 was the previous warmest day at 79 degrees. With lows in the upper 30s and lower 40s, it’s safe to hook the hoses back up for the next week.
