The Carson Valley Middle School Leadership class presented Between Horses and Humans Program Manager Jeannette Bostedt a check for $500. The class voted to give back to their community and donate a portion of the proceeds from their "Winter Nights and Shining Lights" dance in December. Other recipients include Douglas County Animal Shelter and the Nevada Humane Society. In the picture the leadership students are holding cards made from paintings by the horses and drawings from the participants.
Genoa, Nev. — Douglas County commissioners wrapped up their budget hearing on Thursday, canceling today’s meeting as expected. There are some rough spots to smooth out for the final budget, including China Spring Youth Camp and the Library, but otherwise it was pretty solid.

It wouldn’t be Friday if there wasn’t a special weather statement from the National Weather Service in Reno. It looks like the next storm isn’t due in until Sunday night, with high snowfall rates in the Sierra and rain-snow mix down below.
There is hope on the other end, with a drying and warming trend arriving with Easter weekend. Here’s hoping that forecast is solid.
March does appear to be going out like a lamb, but the lion is still hanging around for a bit longer. Sunny skies are forecast for today with a high temperature of 51 degrees, with the west wind 5-10 mph this afternoon. Saturday will be a little less sunny and a little breezier.
