The Corps of Engineers recommended construction of a detention type reservoir for flood control on Martis Creek, east of. Truckee. They also plan minor Lt. Cdr. Peoples In Aircraft Warning Unit Navy Lt. Cdr. George F. Peoples, of Manor Road, Grass Valley, is serving with Carrier Airborne Early Warning Squadron 11 at the North Island Naval Air Station, San Diego. The squadron provides airborne early warning of approaching enemy alrcraft and ships, and assists in the anti-submarine protection of the Pacific Fleet. Truckee Flood Dam Slated channel] improvements on the Truckee River through Reno. The reservoir on Martis Creek would be a_ 15,000 acre-foot capacity earth fill dam about 100 feet high with an ungated outlet and concrete lined spillways. Truckee River improvements would be in the form of minor bank raising work at several points to bring the flood-carrying capacity to 14,000 cubic-feet per second. The engineers explained the Martis Reservoir solely for flood control. The reservoir would fill during flood releases to ease the pressure on Truckee River. It would automatically drain following the flood danger. Engineers say the work would giv to Reno a “reasonably high degree of flood protection.” : ’ “However, it is to be noted that the city would still susceptible to possible damage from rare floods of exceptionally large magnitude,” the Corps of Engineers reported.

It was at this point that the injunction was filed. hind the scenes developed when a group of 4-H ers and Future Farmers with animals in the sale decided to buy a lamb. They formed a corporation in short order and were soon bidding along with the older buyers. They lost their first choice to Ken Beatie of the Marysville Tractor Company who offered to sell it to them at market price. This fete was barely accomplished when the lambs former owner, 4H er Tom Rackerby decided that he never should have sold it in the first place. After some back-of the stands dickering Tommy had the lamb and the “corporation” had to pick out another. This time they won out and Future Farmer Tom Shelton's lamb wastheirs, . . butnot for long. This wonderful bunch of older boys and girls presented the little Ewe lamb to first year 4-H er Susan Stortz so that she may use it for her range ewe project which she now plans to exhibit at next years fair. Listed among those belonging to the corporation were Dan Poole, Jerry Magonigal , Tom and Dave Casper, Lois Magonigal, Sidney Kaasa, Sandy and Pam Stortz, Walter White, Sharon Ousley, Karen Blake, Martha Hoyt, and David Thomas.
