Genoa, Nev. — We’re looking at a political Wednesday kicking off with Rep. Mark Amodei at the Sierra Nevada Republican Women luncheon noon today at the COD Casino. Doors open at 11 a.m. Bring a sawbuck for beverages and snacks. Folks are welcome to bring a lunch. Drop them a line at charmann@live.com if you plan to attend.
Candidate for Tahoe Township Justice of the Peace Rick Gardner sends his regards but has a prior engagement preventing his participation in tonight’s Town Hall Debate. We’re not expecting either school board trustee Yvonne Wagstaff or trustee-elect Marcus Zinke to participate, though they may attend.
Doors for the event at the Douglas County Community & Senior Center open at 5 p.m. with the trouble starting at 6 p.m. Clerk-Treasurer Amy Burgans and former Sen. James Settelmeyer will kick it off, literally, with questions. The web stream won’t go live until 6.
A gas leak at Walleys Hot Springs resulted in the evacuation of the Aurora Building around 4:15 p.m. Tuesday. About 15 minutes later, there was a report of a dog being hit by a car at 395 and Grant Avenue. There was a response but by the time emergency services got there, the dog was gone, likely taken for treatment.
