Nevada briefs
Las Vegan crowned
Ms. Senior Nevada
CARSON CITY -- Gail Imazaki has been named Ms. Senior Nevada 1998 out of a field of 16 women age 60 or older vying for the title.
Imazaki, 62, is a retired Los Angeles nurse who moved to Las Vegas in February 1997. Ms. Senior America 1991 Lori Hargrave Sanchez also lives in a Sun City community, and Imazaki credits her with pushing her.
"Here's the reason I entered this pageant," Imazaki said, pulling Sanchez close after winning Sunday. "We were in a talent program together. She has given me so much warmth and support."
Beverly Shows of Las Vegas was named first runner-up, and Anita Saunders of Reno was second runner-up.
Winning the state title qualifies Imazaki for the Ms. Senior America pageant to be held Sept. 2-6 in Wilmington, Del.

Groups may benefit
from mayors' summit
RENO -- Nonprofit groups in the Reno area stand to benefit from money leftover from the U.S. Conference of Mayors.
The conference organizing board said it could have up to $40,000 left over after all expenses for the June event are paid.
More than $700,000 was raised for the event through local and national sponsorships.
Officials said the plan is to distribute the money to about 15 organizations that contributed.
"I'd say we are surprised," Mayor Jeff Griffin said. "We expected to break even ... We didn't budget it to make money."
