Scalding brings suit for $10,000 Gazette-Journal Carson Bureau The Sierra Convalescent Center of Carson City has been sued for more than $10,000 by a patient who said employee negligence led to his being scalded with hot coffee. Ora M. Baldinger contends in his Carson District Court action that two containers of coffee spilled onto his lap when his wheelchair, pushed in "a negligent and careless manner" by an employee, collided with a meal cart on Feb.

27. He contends he suffered second and third degree bums to his legs and lap area and permanent injuries. The alleged incident occurred roughly four days after the Sierra Convalescent Center was laced on a temporary icense after an investigation by state health officials uncovered what they said were several deficiencies, including inadequate food delivery procedures. The problems were subsequently cleared up and a full license restored in March, according to Dr. William R.

Task force wrestles with growth gardless of size, and for all gaming facilities, similar to the county ordinance. In addition, the task force is looking to change the unsuccessful ordinance's wording on residential projects to allow those under 80 units in size to be exempt from special use permit considerations. Reno Public Works Director Bob Sanford suggested at this morning's hour-and-a-half meeting that local air quality experts such as the Washoe Council of Governments' Chuck Breese fill the task force in on what effect major projects have on the city's efforts to clean up the air. Menicucci said the task force members "were quite shocked" at the Sparks City Council's shelving Monday of their proposal that residential construction be stepped up to handle the county's Increasingly severe housing shortage. The task force has scheduled another meeting on the major development review process for 4 p.m.

Wednesday in City Hall. By PAT O'DRISCOLL The creation of a city ordinance to govern major, growth-impacting construction in Reno was discussed this morning by the city's building permit task force. The 12-member body of city and building industry representatives reached no conclusions on the idea of requiring special use permits for a variety of large developments that would place demands on city services and the local enviroment. But it perused similar ordinances adopted by Washoe County and the City of Sparks aimed at controlling the sizable new developments that can most affect their own municipalities' ability to handle rapid population growth. Mayor Bruno Menicucci said the task force is concentrating on the definition of major projects as outlined in a proposed ordinance that failed to pass the Reno City Council table last month.

The mayor said there was talk at this morning's meeting about requiring special use permits for any manufacturing or processing plant, re BIRTHS COON in Reno, April 14, 1978, to Mr. and Mrs. Jodi E. Coon of Reno, daughter. OOPF in Reno, April 24, 17, to Mr.

Greg Street talks 'congenial' Bandit holds up El Rancho Motel The El Rancho Motel, 3310 S. Virginia was held up at midnight Monday by a man who fled with about $100, Reno police said. Motel owner Blanche M. Duvall said she answered the bell and was met by a dark-haired man about 30 years old. She said he pulled out a pistol and demanded, "Give me the money." He forced her to lie on the floor while he fled.

Fatal wreck SOUTH LAKE TAHOE An automobile accident early this morning killed a Tahoe Paradise motorist, the El Dorado Sheriff's De--partment reported. A spokesman identified the victim as Francis J. Wilson, 25. The car he was driving left Pioneer Trail and overturned, the spokesman said. Wilson was dead on arrival at Barton Memorial of $2.8 million.

Granata said the amount was conveniently under the $3 million amount that Councilman Oaks had set as a limit that might swing his vote to favor the project. In addition, Granata was suspicious of the City of Sparks' agreement to foot the bill on land acquisition costs for Greg Street on its side of the river, while allowing the Street and Highway Commission to pick up the tab for the Reno side of the Truckee. He said the Sparks stand "smells fishy." Reno Traffic Engineer Ross Ainsworth reminded the councilmen before their vote that the State of Nevada's own traffic projections indicate that the street on the master plan and eventually be built. He said council action to approve keeping the project on the master plan would not endorse construction "or anything else," but simply keep the project on tap for future needs. Claudia E.

New England Life, of course. We're aiming to better serve our agents and clients in the Southwest.

That's why we recently appointed Scott Sessions to manage our newest group pension office in Los Angeles. And it's not just a stroke of luck that Scott's been selected. He's been in group pension sales for three years in San Fran By PAT O'DRISCOLL City of Reno negotiations with the MGM Grand Hotel-Reno on releasing the city from a legal agreement to block the Greg Street extension are "congenial and cooperative," but still not down to dollars and cents, City Manager Robin Bogich said Monday. Bogich reported to the City Council during a discussion on the controversial street project that MGM executives' position on the matter hasn't changed. He said that although they say they won't fight any community push for putting the much-debated street project through their property, "they will take every effort to protect their corporate investment." Bogich and others have indicated that this means the, right-of-way and possible damages to be paid to MGM' could be steep for the loss of some usable space on its massive hotel-casino complex site.

Several city coun-ciimen Monday scoffed at a Regional Street and Highway Commission staff report that estimated the right-of-way cost for the street extension through MGM's property at a low of $181,000 and a high of $213,000, and $236,500 with a 10, percent inflationary factor figured into it. The council did budge ever so slightly Monday in the direction of at least acknowledging the eventual need for the Greg Street project, which would connect Terminal Way at Mill Street near the Reno International Airport to Greg Street north and east across the Truck ee River in Sparks. In a narrow 4-3 vote, it approved City Manager Robin Bogich's recommendation to approve Greg Street as "an integral part of the Regional Streets and Highways Master Plan." Also endorsed were continuing negotiations with MGM officials, the drafting of a letter asking for a review and update of the Regional Street and Highway Commission master plan, and the administration's own investigation into the validity of figures showing that there would be only a $100,000 savings if the present four-lane project proposal were reduced to a two-lane road. Voting for the motion were Greg Street supporters Mayor Bruno Menicucci and Councilmen Bill Wallace and Ed Spoon, plus a somewhat-undecided Ed Oaks, who previously has voted against the project but has said he will consider approval if the total cost comes in under $3 million. Voting against the motion were Councilmen Clyde Biglieri, Marcel Durant and Bill Granata, all staunch opponents of the street project.

Biglieri and Granata again vociferously denounced the proposed street extension as a waste of money when other more worthwhile projects stand in need of street funds. Granata particularly singled out an estimate by Regional Street and Highway Commission Special Projects Manager Jerry Hall that the Greg Street work would cost a total cisco ana has proved himself Clara Prouty most capable in this area.
