SPARKS WOMAN
Highway sign to honor fallen Nevada trooper
The first female law officer in Nevada killed in the line of duty will soon be honored in Sparks.
The Sparks City Council has decided to erect a sign recognizing Nevada Highway Patrol trooper Kara Kelly-Borgognone along a section of busy Sparks Boulevard between the Pyramid Highway and Kiley Parkway.
The 33-year-old mother of two was responding to a bomb scare on. Feb. 25 when her cruiser was struck by another vehicle at an intersection on the north edge of Sparks. She died later at a Reno hospital.

NORTHERN NEVADA CRASH
Man trapped in jeep for about 36 hours
Law enforcement authorities say a Minden man is lucky to be alive after being trapped in his crashed vehicle for about 36 hours.
Nevada Highway Patrol officials said 65-year-old Edward Duncan lost control of the Jeep Cherokee sometime Tuesday evening near Clear Creek Road southwest of Carson City and rolled about 250 feet down a steep embankment.
Troopers say he was reported missing Wednesday morning, but wasn't found by a passerby until Thursday morning.
Duncan was freed from the vehicle by officers and flown to a Reno hospital for treatment of injuries that were not life-threatening.
Troopers say Duncan also had to endure overnight lows around 30.
COLORADO CASE
Ranch quarantined over animal disease
Colorado officials have quarantined a hunting ranch after 14 feral hogs tested positive for pseudorabies, a contagious disease that can threaten commercial swine herds, wildlife and pets.
The Little Creek Ranch in Collbran, about 160 miles west of Denver, was quarantined on Wednesday, said state Division of Wildlife spokesman Randy Hampton.
The quarantine was announced Friday. Alan Baier, listed in state records as the registered agent for the ranch, didn't return a call.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture says pseudorabies can cause abortions, stillbirths, respiratory problems and occasional deaths in animals. USDA officials said the virus has never been shown to be contagious to humans, but Hampton said it can spread to wildlife and pets.
The Little Creek Ranch is a commercial wildlife park where feral pigs, also known as wild boars, can be hunted.
The state bans the importation and possession of feral pigs in most cases, but Little Creek may import a limited number because its wild boar operation was in place before the ban was imposed, Hampton said.
Hampton said the infected animals were among 16 feral hogs and 20 exotic sheep that were seized as they were delivered to the ranch in a trailer on Nov. 17. Hampton said the driver who was delivering the animals didn't have the required permits.
