Robert Perea, The Fernley Reporter
Western Nevada College is offering three sessions of driver’s education classes this summer at Fernley High School.
The courses offer 30 hours of new driver education in a classroom setting, meeting requirements to obtain a Nevada driver's license. The courses use lectures, interactive CD's, videos and on occasion guest speakers: Auto Insurance, Accident Victims, DMV Examiner, Department of Public Safety, Law Enforcement, and the WNC Auto Instructor to give vehicle and engine component identification.
Class instruction will cover Nevada driving regulations, basic vehicle control, and challenging situations. The classes are open to students ages 15 and above.
Please Note: Driver Education class fees are non-refundable.
WNC also offers motorcycle rider’s courses.
Registration for a Basic Rider Course (BRC) - $160, Basic Rider Course II - $85 or the Advanced Rider Course (ARC) $85.
BRC -Learn how to ride a motorcycle in 2 1/2 days & earn your MSF completion card for a Nevada endorsement.
BRC II - This intermediate course has two functions – a license waiver for those who are currently riding or a Skills Waiver to update your skills.
ARC - for students who hold a Class M endorsement & want to hone their skill, understand their risk tolerance, etc.
Most insurance companies will offer a motorcycle discount when you complete one of these MSF courses.

Comment text: I want to start a betting 'pool' for the October, November, and December closures:
1. 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 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.

Comment text: Could you look into the strong recurring smell around Fernley? 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.
With Appreciation
