Genoa, Nev. — There wasn’t much for the Water Conveyance Advisory Committee to hash out at Monday’s presentation on Muller Lane Parkway. All the irrigation ditches to be moved are on Park Cattle Holdings land. The committee recommended the plan as presented.


Not quite so clear cut is the future of the governance of the China Spring Youth Camp. Apparently, there’s a separation of power issues with the county ordinance and it requires revision. While that’s all sorted out, Dr. Jenna Sexton will administer the camp.


Saturday Ski Club is back with registration 6-8 p.m. Dec. 12 and 14 for children 8-17 years old at the Douglas County Community & Senior Center. The Saturday Club contact is robertgpumphrey@gmail.com The Sunday Club is on Facebook at DouglasCountySundaySkiClub.


A five-year event contract to continue Wind Down Wednesdays in Heritage Park goes before the Gardnerville Town Board at their meeting 4:30 p.m. today in the town offices at 1407 Main St.


Former Assemblyman Jim Wheeler is scheduled to speak today at the noon Good Governance Group meeting at the COD Casino. Maybe the Sports Book could give odds on his running for county commission next year.  Bring a fiver for the room.


I’m kidding, of course. Nevada oddsmakers aren’t allowed to take wagers on political races. If they were, I’d already have my parlay card filled out for the 2024 election.


My thanks to all the readers who sent scores of photos from last weekend’s events. Some of them made Wednesday’s paper and some of them will see print over the next half-dozen issues before Christmas.


Time to batten down the Christmas decorations before a wind advisory 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Wednesday. The advisory predicts southwest winds 20-30 mph gusting to 50 mph. It will be windier along the Highway 395-88 axis with gusts of 60-70 mph.


At a forecast 62 degrees under sunny skies, today is going to be the last nice one for a bit. The wind will pick up out of the northwest at 5 mph, according to the Weather Service.
