Help a Worthy Local Cause While Watching Some Reno Aces Baseball
When the Reno Aces baseball team takes to the field July 14th, they will be doing more than just playing baseball, they will be raising money for a Susanville non-profit that puts smiles on kids’ faces during troubled times.
A portion of each ticket sold will go to Hope Wheels, a local organization that has parlayed a Guiness World Record for Hot Wheels Loops into a force for good, working with Ronald McDonald House and other charities to bring joy to children.

Through the Community Partners Fundraising Program, the Reno Aces and Greater Nevada team up with local nonprofits, schools, youth sports leagues, and religious centers to raise funds for their cause. Organizations sell Aces tickets and keep a portion of the proceeds.
Since the program’s inception in 2016, over $555,000 has been raised to help benefit local non-profit organizations.

Washoe Bomb Experts Called to Help
with Old Ice Chest Full of Dynamite
Washoe County’s Bomb Squad was called into action Monday after the Lassen County Sheriff’s Office received information that aging explosives had been found at a residence on Indians Road in Janesville.
According to details provided by the LCSO, deputies contacted the reporting parties who had been cleaning up the property and found what appeared to be blasting caps in an ice chest.
“Upon arrival at the residence, Deputies observed the contents of the ice chest,” explains LCSO Sergeant Bryan Sullivan.

“Based upon their training and experience, they believed the ice chest to contain old dynamite. Moreover, the dynamite appeared to be in the advanced stages of decomposition, making it likely unstable.”
A perimeter was established in order to keep the public at a safe distance from the scene.
The Washoe County Sheriff’s Office Consolidated Bomb Squad was contacted and briefed on the situation. Once on scene, bomb squad personnel concurred that the devices were dynamite.
“A robot was used to transport the ice chest to a blast container. The devices were safely transported out of the area to be detonated.”
Sergeant Sullivan and the Lassen County Sheriff’s Office thanked the Washoe County Sheriff’s Office Consolidated Bomb Squad for their assistance with the incident.

Nagel Signed as Director at Bal Bijou at Lake Tahoe
July 8, 1936
Freddie Nagel, who was some pumpkin as a local musician in Reno a few years back, is now the director of a 1-piece aggregation playing the summer season at Bal Bijou on Lake Tahoe.
Fred apparently is going places as an Ork leader but has a degree in Electrical Engineering from Stanford in case he tires of the profession. Fred’s band is under the banner of the Music Corporation of America.
A grand gal threw open a brand new club in Susanville last night. Shirley Tilton known to hundreds in Reno. Suffice to say that we all hope the new spot goes over with a bang; no reason why it won’t with our gal Shirley’s magnetic personality and charm that is indeed a rarity.
Shirley’s entertainment department will be headed by Reno’s corpulent and diminutive madcap M. C., Sonny Hartman, who worked at the Tavern three years ago with the Bob Overman aggregation.
Sonny departed from Reno yesterday with his five foot four inches of attitude, 200 pounds avoirdupois, stack of piano music, baggy pants, 60-inch waistline and 17 wigs. Sonny plays, sings, and manipulates the wigs so rapidly that a slow-motion camera had difficulty in following him.
