After the Burn: How Black Rock City Disappears - And What’s Left Behind
After the Burn: How Black Rock City Disappears - And What’s Left Behind
Even after the last art cars leave Black Rock City, cleanup efforts at Burning Man continue. Playa Restoration crews sweep the desert for MOOP (“Matter Out of Place”), smooth burn scars, and remove debris left behind, all under the watchful eye of the Bureau of Land Management. However, Northern Nevada residents report that trash often spills beyond the playa, littering highways and small towns during the Exodus. Concerns include leftover trash, safety hazards, and biohazards. Local groups are stepping in to help. Scout Troop 1847 and Gear Hut host collection events for safe disposal, while Full Circle Compost turns food waste from camps into compost, helping restore the land responsibly. The effort highlights both the challenges of a massive festival and the ongoing work to honor the “Leave No Trace” promise. 10/16/2025 01:59 PM

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

Governor Lombardo Kicks Off Re-election Campaign with Rural Tour
Governor Joe Lombardo launched his 2026 re-election campaign with a tour of rural Nevada last week, making stops in Fallon, Lovelock, Winnemucca, Battle Mountain, and Elko. Joined by Nevada Republican Party Chairman Michael McDonald and State Comptroller Andy Matthews, Lombardo spoke about the importance of rural voices, voter engagement, and economic diversification. Highlighting achievements from his first term, Lombardo noted $5 billion in new investments, improvements in education rankings, and ongoing support for local policing and public safety. He emphasized the need for voter participation and said he remains committed to representing all corners of Nevada, not just urban centers. The governor’s rural campaign tour will continue through October with additional stops planned in northeastern and central Nevada communities. 10/09/2025 04:37 PM
