This summer, Western Nevada College is offering a series of leadership development workshops to community members. Courses will include Strengths-Based Personal Development, Next Chapter: Leadership and Time Leadership, and are offered at a number of times to accommodate any schedule.

Strengths-Based Personal Development will provide participants with an introduction to the CliftonStrengths approach to leadership, with a focus on helping students tap into their unique talents and maximize their potential. Next Chapter: Leadership is a course designed for emerging leaders in business, non-profits and government, and will cover topics including supervision, productivity and values clarification. Time Leadership is a 3-hour workshop designed to help students master the key principles of time management, productivity, creativity and happiness.

“I am thrilled to be able to share my 20+ years of leadership experience with the local community by teaching at WNC,” says instructor Alissa Nourse. “I have chosen my favorite topics and most trusted skills for leadership development for each class.” Nourse is a Gallup Certified Strengths Coach and founder of Ninja Courage, a consultancy focused on leadership training, retreat facilitation and strengths-based coaching.

Courses are open to anyone in the Northern Nevada community. Classes begin this summer. Interested community members can visit www.wnc.edu/continuing-education/ or call (775) 445-4241 for more information or to register.

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). 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.

Anyone who knows Fernley KNOWS this is more of the who you are related to and know business in this town. VOTE THEM ALL OUT AND THE CALIFORNIA TRANSPLANTS.

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.
