CARSON CITY – The Nevada Department of Transportation has completed a project to replace an aging bridge on State Route 396/Upper Valley Road north of Lovelock. The bridge, located where State Route 396/Upper Valley Road transitions into a frontage road and travels over Union Pacific Railroad tracks, was originally constructed in 1931. Before being replaced, travel over the aging bridge had been prohibited for heavy commercial vehicles over recent years.
Sen. Jacky Rosen (D-NV) introduced a lands bill for Pershing County on Tuesday, that would privatize public land for economic development — including mining — while adding conservation protections to other parcels in the area. Like past Nevada lands bills, it has support from a wide coalition of interest groups, from local officials to the Nevada Mining Association to Friends of Nevada Wilderness — with opposition from some environmentalists, including the Center for Biological Diversity.
This Sunday, Elmhurst Avenue will close to traffic so the Frontier Days crowd can race, pull and carry for fun and cash prizes. They almost make it look easy. Elmhurst’s trees provide shade for the spectators. Vendors sell cold drinks.
At last Wednesday's Pershing County commissioner's meeting, several Lovelock residents clashed with Gabriel Bourne from the Walker River Tribe and April Wilson from the Fallon Paiute Shoshone Tribe. Bourne and Wilson raised concerns about the museum's ghost tours. They believe the tours conflict with Tribal artifacts on loan to the museum. "We are here on own behalf, not representing the Tribe or speaking for Lovelock," said Bourne. "We feel offended by what is going on at the museum. It's gone too far."
Like an old friend, Frontier Days returns to Lovelock Aug. 2 - 4. The weekend centers around food, games and live music. Several contests offer cash prizes.

They both live up to this year's theme of "helping hands."
On July 4, the Cattlewomen hosted one of Lovelock’s most beloved summer events - the annual children’s parade.

Last Thursday, the Pershing County commissioners rejected Burning Man's five-year compensation package of $400,000 per year for law enforcement in Black Rock City this summer.

After the commissioners reached their unanimous decision, the few dozen attendees clapped and cheered.
Safe Haven Wildlife Sanctuary is one of the liveliest places in Pershing County but it's about to get livelier, with the addition of Shree, a four-year-old female snow leopard. The apex predator arrived at the Imlay, NV, sanctuary last weekend from the Miller Park Zoo in Bloomington, Illinois.
T-Mobile came to Temptations Restaurant in Lovelock to award a $50,000 grant to Lovelock for the renovation of Amherst Park. They partnered with Smart Growth America and Main Street America to select the recipients of the Hometown Grant. Lovelock’s application stood out among many.
