Pershing County 4-H teaches situational awareness

Wednesday, January 20, 2021 1:00 AM

Picture a kid riding their bike home from school. Up ahead, they see a pothole and swerve to avoid it. “That’s good S.A.,” says Vince Boone. He’s talking about situational awareness, the state of knowing what is going on around you. Alternatively, the bicyclist would have hit the pothole and crashed.
Last Friday, the Pershing County 4-H self-defense club gathered at the community center for their first meeting. About a dozen young people paid close attention to Boone, a military veteran, EMT and former nightclub bouncer. He put years of on-the-job training to use in his new role as a 4-H leader.

State funds Main Street Fire debris cleanup

More than a year after the Main Street Fire devastated three historic buildings, piles of charred debris still clutter downtown Lovelock. That is about to change as a state agency has agreed to fund the clean up at no charge to the city or the property owners according to a county official.
Pershing County Economic Development Authority Executive Director Heidi Lusby-Angvick said the Nevada Department Environmental Protection is in the process of coordinating the debris cleanup with a contractor. She confirmed that an NDEP grant is covering the project cost.
“It’s in the NDEP office. They are working with the contractor and they are the ones financing the clean up,” Lusby-Angvick said. “I wish I could take a cattle prod and push them a little faster but I’m kind of stuck.”
