Why all the fuss about Nevada's birthday on October 31? The battle lines were drawn between "traditionalists", and the "grinches" who would steal Nevada Day by calling for the last Friday of October to be the state's official holiday. The parade and other festivities would follow on Saturday; thus making for a three-day weekend for some Nevadans as well as state and local government employees. With the passage of AB396 by the 1997 legislature, Nevada voters, on November 3, 1998 advised the 1999 legislature they wanted to celebrate Nevada Day on the last Friday in October beginning in 2000. The legislature, after much heated debate, complied.

Last evening at approximately 9:48 pm, a law enforcement officer assigned to Department of Public Safety-Investigation Division observed a moving violation by the driver of a silver Chevrolet 4-door sedan on US 395 in Pleasant Valley. The officer was not wearing a uniform and was driving an unmarked police vehicle. He requested assistance from a trooper and provided our DPS-Communications Center with the information which included the Nevada license plate displayed on the sedan. The dispatcher informed him that the vehicle was recently reported stolen. There were four occupants riding in the vehicle. The officer and several other troopers initiated a felony traffic stop on US 395 just south of Lakeview Hill on the north side of Carson City. All four occupants were ordered out of the vehicle, placed into handcuffs and detained.

Bob and Lorraine (my cousin) Scholes of Dayton plus Elaine and I just returned from a six week vacation trip to Italy, Sicily and Switzerland. It was the Scholes’ second trip to Italy and our first-ever trip.
Lorraine’s father was born in Ponte Buggianese and my Dad was born in Lucca, and we both wanted to visit where our roots began.
We left on August 30, flew from Reno to Denver to Montreal to Rome and then returned from Rome to Zurich to San Francisco to Reno on October 12. Here are a bunch of our memories:
