Lyon County Sheriff’s Office K9 teams participated Oct. 3 in the fifth annual Carson City Sheriff’s Office K9 Unit Challenge, with two LCSO dogs earning second-place finishes in individual events.

K9 Blady placed second in the agility competition, and K9 Ares placed second in narcotics detection. LCSO also entered K9s Linda and Kilo in the regional event, which brought together K9 teams from multiple agencies across Northern Nevada for skill and discipline demonstrations centered on the duties they perform in the field.

The Carson City Sheriff’s Office hosted the challenge, which highlights the training and teamwork between handlers and their K9 partners. Agencies, volunteers and community members supported the event.

Next year’s competition is scheduled to be held in Virginia City.

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.
