Grange to Recycle Wreaths at Fernley Veterans Cemetery
  by Suzann Gilliland Peterson -- Fallon’s High Desert Grange participated in the national Wreaths Across America on Dec. 14 by laying wreaths on the graves of veterans at the Churchill County Cemetery.  This is the second year local Grange members have joined others throughout the country in honoring our veterans. In addition to actively participating in the laying of wreaths in Churchill County, the High Desert Grange is currently working closely with Roger W Elliott, a Fallon resident and a representative of the Northern Nevada Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Fernley, to help recycle the cemetery’s wreaths when the time comes to do so.  Nine thousand wreaths will need to be repurposed at that time.  The Grange is locating people willing to bring trailers to help remove the wreaths and take them to their goats and sheep.  This will allow the cemetery to save money on disposal, lessen the landfill, and naturally recycle. Anyone interested in participating can contact the High Desert Grange at [email protected] or at 775-427-8210.  No wreaths will be removed until the designated time.  When removal is scheduled, the Grange will contact everyone who is interested.       Never miss the local news -- read more on The Fallon Post home page.

We reached out to the writer/submitter and got this info back...hope it's helpful. PBM: Pharmacy Benefit Managers are pharmacies that are owned by insurance companies. (CVS is one.) They negotiate with drug makers to get reduced pricing for medications, but they historically have not passed along those savings to patients. https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/pharmacy-benefit-managers-staff-report.pdf MFN: Most Favored Nation pricing is a policy that means a country agrees to offer the same trade concessions (like tariffs or price reductions) to all member nations of the World Trade Organization (WTO). When applied to pharmaceuticals, it could disrupt global access, deter innovation, and obscure the deeper systemic issues in American health care. https://petrieflom.law.harvard.edu/2025/05/22/the-global-risks-of-americas-most-favored-nation-drug-pricing-policy/Comment publication date: 6/23/25, 7:47 AMComment source: L E T T E R TO THE EDITOR
