The Washoe County Board of Commissioners recently discussed the potential change in mail service at the Vassar Street Post Office

They have directed staff to appeal the proposed conversion of the location into a Local Processing Center by the U.S. Postal Service.

Concerns were raised about the impact of transferring outgoing mail processing to Sacramento, particularly the potential delays caused by inclement weather on Donner Summit.

Commissioners fear that this change could lead to slower delivery of important mail, such as medications, bills, and other time-sensitive items.

Commissioner Mike Clark highlighted the unintended consequences that could arise from moving the sorting center across state lines and over a major mountain pass.

He emphasized the importance of maintaining the quality of postal service, especially as the community continues to grow.

Man Arrested After DUI Through Sparks

On 2/18/2024 at about 2:00 p.m. a Sparks officer was conducting business in the city of Reno found himself behind a vehicle with a stolen license plate. Prior to initiating a traffic stop on the vehicle, it fled from him at a high rate of speed and drove recklessly weaving through traffic and escaped.
Then at about 4:07 p.m. Sparks Police received a call about a possible DUI at a gas station. The license plate and description of the vehicle matched the vehicle from the previously mentioned incident. Prior to officers arriving in the area the reporting party said the vehicle left the gas station and was driving north on Vista Blvd. The reporting party said the driver and other occupants of the vehicle were drinking alcohol inside the vehicle while pumping gas.
An officer located the vehicle near Vista Blvd. and Baring Blvd. The vehicle again fled at a high rate of speed, going through numerous stop signs, red lights and almost hit several vehicles. Officers terminated the pursuit of the vehicle. The vehicle was occupied by five people.
Sparks communication continued to get reports of the vehicle as it traveled through the city, still at a high rate of speed.  The vehicle was observed by other officers driving recklessly putting the public at risk as the vehicle traveled northbound Pyramid Hwy.
As the vehicle continued to drive erratically, it hit another vehicle at the intersection of Pyramid Hwy and Sparks Blvd but continued to travel northbound. The vehicle lost the front left tire but continued to drive. Then the vehicle became disabled in a neighborhood east of Pyramid Hwy. Officers arrived in the area as witnesses watched the five occupants fleeing from the vehicle in separate directions. Officers were able to locate the vehicle and after a brief time took all five subjects into custody, without further incident.
Thankfully, no injuries were reported as a result of this incident. The driver of the vehicle was identified as 19 ye old Reno resident, Devin Lake.

The North Lake Tahoe Fire and Rescue has received a grant from FEMA for $80,000 to acquire five state-of-the-art Zoll AutoPulse NXT resuscitation systems

These cutting-edge devices are portable, battery-powered, and provide automated CPR to individuals experiencing cardiac arrest.

The implementation of these resuscitation systems has the potential to significantly increase survival rates, with studies showing up to a 50% improvement compared to manual CPR.

One of the key features of the Zoll AutoPulse NXT is its ability to measure the chest size of the patient before administering uninterrupted chest compressions, ensuring more effective treatment.

Since the installation of the new systems last week, the team at North Lake Tahoe Fire and Rescue has already seen the benefits of having these life-saving tools at their disposal.

The automated CPR provided by the Zoll AutoPulse NXT systems frees up valuable time for our first responders to focus on other critical tasks during emergency situations.

Heads up, Major Storm Advisory per NWS:

“⚠️ The latest update to the Winter Storm Warning in effect from late Sunday afternoon through Wednesday morning is posted here. We have increased the snow totals for higher elevations (above 5500 feet in northeast CA and above 7000 feet around Tahoe and Mono County). Below these elevations, snow amounts could be more limited as a push of milder air brings a longer period of rain or a rain-snow mix Sunday night through Monday afternoon.

Complete travel over the main Sierra passes during the day Sunday if possible, and avoid these routes from Sunday evening through Tuesday, which could be impassable with a greater risk of long delays or even becoming stranded for many hours. ”

Sparks Hero Recognized at City Hall 🏅

“Today, at the Sparks City Council Meeting, Sparks Fire Department presented Justin Dormody with the Citizen Service Metal for his actions on a gasoline tanker truck fire last November.

After a vehicle collided with a large tanker truck, Justin Dormody, who was working nearby, noticed that the vehicle was on fire and there was someone in the front seat. Justin went to the vehicle, broke out the side window and helped the driver out of the burning vehicle before vehicle became fully involved and truck caught on fire. This all happened before Sparks Firefighters arrived on scene. Crews on scene had no idea this occurred because Justin only made himself known after then incident when he asked Captain Matt Caldwell if they could find the screwdriver he dropped after breaking the window with it.

We Thank Justin and commend him on his actions and bravery that led to saving another persons life!! “
