The Dementia Resource Center of Northern Nevada will host a workshop designed to educate and help people caring for a loved one with dementia or Alzheimer’s disease. Caring for a loved one with dementia is daunting, creating new challenges and situations at every turn. This workshop is designed to give caregivers, family members and loved ones the skills and knowledge needed to cope with the situation, and even find some humor in it. It will also help ease the anxiety and fear that goes along with the care giving.

CARSON CITY – Gov. Brian Sandoval today announced that the Southern Nevada Veterans Memorial Cemetery has received a $5 million grant from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to develop approximately 7.5 acres at the cemetery. Construction will include over 6,000 replacement crypts and 4,000 columbarium niches.

On this day of remebrance, it has been pointed out to me that few people know of the presence of this memorial. This beam is from (I believe) the north tower of the World Trade Center. It was given to the good people of Carson City by the Port Authority of New York to mark that fateful day.

It is located in Mills Park, at the eastern edge of the Pony Express Pavillion (near the snack bar).

It is a piece of history that should not be forgotten.

After years of planning, the North Lake Tahoe Water Shuttle was launched last month as a pilot program to provide visitors with an alternative means of public transportation in addition to the region’s bus and transfer services. Many visitors, however, are taking the shuttle for the sheer pleasure of being on the water, rather than a means to get from one side of the North Shore to another.

Three of the bucks were poached within the city limits of Susanville and the other was poached near the city.
