Commissioners are scheduled to proclaim Nov. 4-11 supporting Operation Green Light, where people illuminate a green light in memory of veterans. Commissioners meet at the Carson Valley Inn today as their chambers are being used for the election.

I participated in Gardnerville Elementary School’s Veterans Assembly for the first time. I’ve covered it for years, but I turned that over to Sarah Drinkwine and took the stage with fellow veterans.
We’re looking for veteran adjacent items for Saturday’s edition, so if you’ve got something reach out to us today. Veterans Day is Monday making it a three-day weekend.
I got a tip that the MS Dixie is conducting a free cruise for veterans noon Monday. Definitely reach out ahead of time on by emailing aramark@theabbiagency.com or calling 775-589-4906.
Monday might not see the best weather to take a cruise if the forecast for gusty winds and rain holds. There’s even a slight chance of snow at Lake level on Monday afternoon as a cold front passes.
Today is predicted to be sunny with a high temperature of 55 degrees and the wind out of the north at 5 mph this afternoon. Expect more of the same on Friday.
