Good morning, Sparks. Here's your local news at a glance for Wednesday, the 3rd of September.

COMMUNITY NEWS

  • Communities across Northern Nevada will honor 9/11 by taking part in local service projects such as park cleanups and care kit assemblies from September 11 onward this month. Local events include a cemetery cleanup in Carson City — scheduled for September 13 from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. —, a Truckee River cleanup in Spanish Springs from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m., and a bear-making event at Sun Valley for a children’s hospital.  KTVN

GOVERNMENT NEWS

  • Local fire officials said that people who start wildfires rarely face charges because it is hard to prove negligence—officials need clear evidence of intent before seeking restitution. Past cases like the Joy Lake Fire—where strong proof led to prosecution—show that only solid evidence makes legal action possible.  Reno Gazette-Journal

REAL ESTATE NEWS

  • A sprawling 25-acre equestrian estate called Steen Ranch sold for $7.75 million, marking the highest home sale in the Reno-Sparks area this year. Named after uranium miner Charles Steen and noted for its unique water features, the property was sold by David and Debra Clark to Pond Valley Ranch LLC — a record-setting deal as reported by Dickson Realty.  Reno Gazette-Journal
