ESL In-Home learners ready to take U.S. citizenship exam

More than 80 students from the ESL In-Home Program of Northern Nevada who have taken the 12-week citizenship study classes are now ready for the U.S. citizenship exam.

The ESL In-Home Program of Northern Nevada  exists in Washoe, Douglas, Lyon and Churchill counties and Carson City, helping English learners study learn their new country's language and customs. They have been tutored by ESL trained community volunteers with English language skills and are now ready to take the exam.

The exam is not easy. One hundred questions on American history and government have to be studied, sentences have to be written, and English conversation skills are needed for the interview.

However, not all of the students have the full application fee of $725. The ESL In-Home Program has announced that an ESL Citizenship Fund bank account is now open for its citizenship students who need funds to apply for citizenship. Tim and Betsy Kosier of Carson City, and Vicki Bailey of Santa Rosa, Calif.,  have together donated generously to start this fund to create a way to help more graduates of the ESL In-Home Program be able to afford to apply for citizenship.

Anyone who has saved money for the citizenship exam but does not have the total amount of $725 should apply for assistance with Florence Phillips, Executive Director, ESL In-Home Program of Northern Nevada.

Call 775-888-2021; or send an email to [email protected].

They will also gratefully accept donations for more citizen students to apply for assistance at www.eslinhome.org/donations.

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.
