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

Council approves “Cocktails to go” ordinance
Council approves “Cocktails to go” ordinance
Fernley restaurants with liquor licenses can now offer “cocktails to go” under a new ordinance approved by the City Council on Oct. 1. The measure allows 22 local restaurants to provide sealed alcoholic beverages for takeout or home delivery without obtaining a new license. City Clerk Kim Swanson said the change, made possible by Assembly Bill 375, could create a new revenue stream for local establishments. Drinks must be sealed with a tamper-evident cap, and open containers in vehicles remain illegal. Delivery drivers must be licensed, verify recipients are at least 21, and log all deliveries for four years. A 50-cent surcharge per drink will support the state’s Ignition Interlock & DUI Reduction Program. 10/09/2025 08:26 PM

Sheriff’s Office focusing on traffic enforcement around schools
The Lyon County Sheriff’s Office is increasing patrols around Fernley school zones to address congestion and safety concerns. Deputies will focus on Cottonwood Elementary, Hardie Lane near Fernley Elementary, and the Newlands Drive stoplight, where traffic backups and unsafe driving have been reported. Officials say traffic stops aren’t always the best solution and may explore rerouting or alternate pickup locations to improve safety for students and drivers. 10/09/2025 03:53 PM
