New Virginia Street Bridge: 2014
Local residents who remember the flood of 2005 are wondering what's going on at the Universtiy's Main Station Feild Laboratory. The property is where McCarran Boulevard and Mill Street intersect. It's here 380 animals graze, and where seven years ago the loss of 346 sheep forced changes to evacuation procedures during major flooding events
You may remember the story of the starving neglected horses we first told you about in late July. Lyon County Sheriff's office seized the animals from what was suppose to be an animal rescue operation. Thousands of dollars and pounds later, the horses are back to a healthy weight, but now some are in search of a good home.
It's arguably the biggest game of the year for the Wolf Pack Football Team, which will meet Boise State head-to-head Saturday afternoon at Mackay Stadium While no titles are at stake, it's still huge rivalry, and means money to local businesses to cater to fans. Boise may be going to another conference next year. That will put an end to a great match-up and perhaps the business it brings to local bars and clothing stores.
On this Black Friday, many shoopers are focued on getting the best deals possible. Others want to make their buck count and look for local retailers to do their shopping. One local event allowed local women to do just that.
For the past two years, Stewart Conservation Camp, along with the BLM and the U.S Border Patrol have worked together. Their goal is to supply agents with horses that can work for hours at a stretch monitoring the US Border. Nevada inmates train wild mustangs and prepare them for duty. They have 4 months to complete the task.
The BLM has been rounding up wild horses for years. The agency says its vital to their survival here in Nevada and across the west. The mustangs taken off the range are usually put up for adoption. But before they go to their new homes, some of these animals find themselves in a unique role—teachers to convicts.
