On Wednesday, March 20, the 47 JAG (Jobs for America's Graduates) programs from around Nevada were able to send one student to take part in a day at the capitol.

Priscilla Winningham was chosen to attend from Fernley High School.

The students had a busy day with a full schedule. They were able to sit on the floor in the Senate and Assembly with their respective senators and assembly person. Priscilla sat with Senator James Settlemeyer. They were introduced on the floor and were able to witness firsthand a congressional session.

Students were also able to meet with a Supreme Court Judge and his clerks in the courtroom. The day ended with the governor. Students were able to share their story of how the JAG program is and has helped them. The governor then shared some thoughts with the students. Governor Sisolak asked them to remember two words, believe and choice. He wanted the students to remember that they need to believe in themselves and the choice for success is theirs to make.

A dent in the pool slide. 2. A failed breaker. 3. A pebble loose in the water part (replacing all concrete) 4. Hurricane Polo makes a sudden turn and blows off the roof (again).

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.
