Kelsey Hurlburt, Residential Program Director at New Frontier Treatment Center, took center stage as the featured guest speaker at the Churchill Chapter of Representing Public Employees of Nevada’s (RPEN) February meeting. Hurlburt discussed the nonprofit’s decades-long commitment to serving Fallon, sharing insights into the center’s programs that help individuals overcome addiction to prescription drugs, alcohol, and “street drugs.” 

She also provided education on the use of Narcan Nasal Spray for opioid overdose, equipping attendees with practical knowledge for lifesaving interventions.

Founded in 1972, New Frontier Treatment Center has played a pivotal role in the community, offering patients coping strategies and education for a healthier lifestyle. Hurlburt’s presentation underscored the importance of accessible addiction treatment and highlighted how RPEN members and their families can benefit from New Frontier’s resources. 

The monthly RPEN meeting, held at the Fallon Youth Center, regularly welcomes speakers from local organizations to inform members about valuable community services.

Representing Public Employees of Nevada (RPEN) is a statewide group for current or retired employees eligible for PERS retirement. The Churchill Chapter’s ongoing speaker series continues to foster connections between RPEN members and community leaders.

They strung them along for years until they had no financial choice but to accept and get out. My Dad even hauled water for the Snow ranch trying to stay afloat. May God bless you all. I truly pray it works out for you.Comment publication date: 3/28/26, 9:22 PMComment source: Local Rancher Says Navy Land Expansion is Devastating His Family RanchComment author: Lynn JohnsonComment text: I remember your mother well; she was a lovely and kind woman.

I see glimpses of your face in the years worn onto my dad. It makes me feel more connected to you in some way. I remember the familiar kindness from you that I know in my dad. I would’ve really liked to have a good conversation. I only have a handful of memories with you, but you were loving, and you were kind. I wish I was able to say more. If I am someone to you, I hope I make you proud. Thank you Aunt for this sweet post.Comment publication date: 3/27/26, 12:11 AMComment source: Obituary -- Randolph Floris Banovich C Comment author: RBCComment text: The Navy should reimburse the market cost of replacing the grazing land they are taking.
