by Carol Sirnes
Good Moming!
Last weekend our area received two days of much-
needed, beautiful, ground-soaking rain! The gardens
and vegetation around here are really looking good.
Of course, weeds grow faster.

17, 1997 in the Goldfield Courthouse.
Commissioner Gary O'Connor of Fish Lake Val-
ley discussed the July 4,celebration and gymkana in
their area, which has been held since 1991.
His main concern was the phone calls he had
-' received of rumors that the Fish Lake Valley Park
Board would have to pay $4,000 for insurance cover-
age for that one day. This hadn't occurred during the
other years.
