Local folks say "no" to buying alcohol for juveniles

Print

WINNEMUCCA — A recent attempt to catch people who buy alcohol for minors was totally unsuccessful – or perhaps it was a total success -- because everyone who was contacted declined to break the law.

Two local businesses were visited where attempts were made by two underage persons to have adults purchase alcohol for them. Approximately 30 individuals were contacted -- but none of them agreed to make the purchase.

CRI files opposition to preliminary injunction; claims second trip to court unnecessary

Print

LOVELOCK — Despite the fact a hearing has already been set in the matter, Coeur Rochester filed an opposition to Rye Patch Gold’s motion for preliminary injunction claiming a second hearing was unnecessary.  The opposition was filed in the 6th Judicial District Court on Wednesday (March 21).

A dispute over mining claims led Coeur Rochester to seek a restraining order against Rye Patch Gold in December 2011. At that time, the court delegated each a parcel of property to work until the matter could be resolved at trial in November of this year.  In the latest round, RPG has alleged Coeur Rochester is not behaving neighborly.
