Council approves bike path extension

At its Oct. 1 meeting, the Fernley City Council approved a $360,740 contract with Lumos & Associates for the design and construction management of Phase 3 of the bike path along the south side of Farm District Road. Phase 3 will fill a 0.3-mile gap between Jasmine Lane and Hendrix Drive and extend the path 0.3 miles east to Clearwater Parkway. Once completed, the bike path will offer approximately 3.7 miles of continuous trail from Villa Way to Clearwater Parkway. Construction, funded by the federal Transportation Alternative Program, is expected to begin by next fall. The city’s Transportation Master Plan calls for the path to eventually reach East Valley Elementary School and ultimately Highway 50A. 10/16/2025 01:03 PM

Third Judicial District Court Judge Leon Aberasturi on Oct. 7 denied Joseph Rose Tyler Maciel’s request to withdraw his guilty plea in the second-degree murder case involving the sale of fentanyl that killed Michael Fernandez.

Cancer Screening Isn’t Difficult – Don’t Put it Off

Cancer Screening Isn’t Difficult – Don’t Put it Off

Learning that a friend in her 40s had colon cancer was devastating. Despite bravely fighting and even celebrating being cancer-free, the disease came back and took her far too soon—leaving behind her husband and two young sons. Her story reinforced for me just how ruthless colon cancer can be and why early detection matters. Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in Nevada, yet it’s highly treatable when caught early. Unfortunately, over 31% of adults over 45 are behind on recommended screenings. New, less invasive options like the FDA-approved Shield blood test make it easier than ever to stay on track. I encourage everyone to prioritize cancer screenings—for yourself and those you love. Learn more at cancer.org or talk with your healthcare provider. Early detection saves lives. — Randi Thompson, Public Relations Consultant, Reno 10/10/2025 02:34 PM
