    So far, no masks for Pershing students this fall

    Tuesday, August 3, 2021 1:00 AM
    The world is not out of the pandemic woods yet. Viruses evolve and change as they grow and replicate. Most changes are nothing to worry about. However, some variants become more transmissible. The highly contagious Delta variant of Covid-19 is now the dominant strain worldwide.
    Delta has a shorter incubation period than the original virus, four days rather than six. People are contagious sooner. It’s also stickier. People spread the original virus to an average of two or three others. Today, people infected with Delta infect six others, on average, making it about as contagious as chickenpox.

    Dream town in the works at Marzen House Museum

    Marzen House Museum Advisory Board Chairman Barbara Rackley had a night vision that is now becoming a reality. She dreamed of a cluster of old buildings reminiscent of what Lovelock was like years ago when it was an industrial, commercial, cultural and entertainment hot spot.
    “In the dream, I saw a little village, the way Lovelock might have been,” Rackley said. “At least we can display some things that used to be here and we hope everybody really jumps on the bandwagon. It could be a real attraction for Lovelock and we could make it a nice destination.”
