Pinwheel planting ceremony scheduled April 16 in recognition for national child abuse prevention month
April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month, so the Nevada Division of Child and Family Services, Biggest Little Radio 101.3, and the City of Fernley are partnering to bring awareness to this cause locally.

On Monday, April 16 at 11:30 a.m., there will be a ceremony to plant pinwheels on the front lawn of City Hall, located at 595 Silver Lace Boulevard. These pinwheels serve as a reminder that every child deserves a happy childhood.

Mayor Roy Edgington will read a formal proclamation during the ceremony, declaring April 2018 as National Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention Month in Fernley.

The public is invited to attend this event. In addition, the City urges all citizens to recognize this month by dedicating ourselves to the task of improving the quality of life for all children and families.

In addition, Biggest Little Radio 101.3 in Fernley will be doing a series of on‐air segments regarding child welfare awareness. These clips will air on Thursdays from 12– 12:30 p.m.

Information regarding National Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention Month can be found on social media by searching: #greatchildhoods.

A pebble loose in the water part (replacing all concrete) 4. Hurricane Polo makes a sudden turn and blows off the roof (again). With soft muscles after 7 months of no swimming, the only health left is my sense of humor :) Comment publication date: 10/1/26, 11:18 AM Comment source: Fernley Pool Renovation Moves Forward, One Test at a Time Comment author: PFB Comment text: Why can't you guys find competent contractors.. For a large municipal facility like the indoor-outdoor Fernley Swimming Pool located at 300 Cottonwood Lane, a complete ground-up commercial build or major structural renovation typically spans 6 to 12 months or longer when factoring in large-scale engineering, public municipal permitting, specialized commercial HVAC/roofing, and health department inspections. The current renovation has been- The Fernley Swimming Pool has been closed for approximately six to seven months since late February 2026 for a major roof replacement and facility renovation. Now you sat October. Soooo 8 months for a new roof. The picture shows no other renovations.

It smells like sewage and it can be bad enough that people don’t want to be outside or open their windows. It would be helpful to get an investigative journalist help the Fernley residents get a clear answer from the City, NDEP, and any involved facilities. I was really disappointed that the smell was not disclosed by my realtor when I moved here. I enjoy Fernley and am seeing the improvements that are being made.
