The statistics are staggering. Thirty percent of the people diagnosed with breast cancer go on to get metastatic breast cancer.

Metastatic beast cancer is an incurable disease. It is when breast cancer has spread beyond the breast, possibly to the lymph nodes or other organs in the body. Around 40,000 people a year in the US die from it. It is the advanced part of breast cancer and it is rarely discussed.

Lily Reedy, from Carson City is trying to change all of that. The breast cancer she fought in 2015 and had been in remission, came back and this time the breast cancer was in her liver.

She has never found one other person in Carson City or Reno with metastatic breast cancer.

To learn more, Lily and her husband Brian went to a Metastatic Breast Cancer Conference in Philadelphia last year. They also went to Memorial Sloane Kettering Cancer Center in New York and the Stanford Women’s Cancer Center in California. In September they went to Washington, D.C. to advocate for more research funding allocation for Metastatic Breast Cancer.

As Lily has learned more about the disease, she wants to help others see the hope she sees in treating this disease.

So, this Sunday, Oct. 20, in the Bristlecomb Room of Carson Tahoe Hospital, beginning at 2 p.m., Lily Reedy is hosting a gathering that will bring a nationally recognized speaker — Dr. Kelly Shanahan — who also has metastatic breast cancer — to help start the process of raising awareness and coming together.

Cancer survivors and the public are invited to join in a Beyond the Pink Ribbon meeting featuring Dr. Shanahan, an OBGYN, researcher, advocate and METAvivor board director. Also featured to speak will be Terra Maddox, an oncology patient navigator at Carson Tahoe Cancer Resource Center. Lily Reedy will also speak about her experience, and a metastaic breast cancer thriver and striver.

The event will be from 2 to 4 p.m. RSVP if possible to LHReedy@sbcglobal.net.

There will be a lot of formal literature on METS from nationally recognized organizations. Reedy hopes that people will bring their families and loved ones to all share in the learning and find more hope. We intend for this event to be honest, informative, and open.

This is being framed in the light of positivity and hope. We want to encourage people to learn more and help add to the chorus to save more lives.

Lily is especially hoping to gather up others with metastatic breast cancer to the event so they can learn more and share concerns and work together to make the best information available to lengthen and save lives. For more information, go to www.careliving4all.com or call (775) 883-4144.

Residents of Nevada’s smaller cities and towns are encouraged to provide their input as the state of Nevada is developing its priorities for federal grant money for housing, community development and economic development activities. Residents can also anonymously provide feedback on housing discrimination issues.

The Nevada Governor's Office of Economic Development's Rural Community and Economic Development Division will hold a public meeting Oct. 29 from 2 to 4 p.m. at GOED’s Carson City office, 808 W. Nye Ln. A Fair Housing public meeting will be on Oct. 30 from 2 to 4 p.m., also in Carson City at the same location.

The Nevada Governor’s Office of Economic Development, Department of Business and Industry and the Department of Health and Human Services are partnering on two surveys and public meetings to gather information required for the nearly $40 million in annual U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) grants.

There will also be video conference locations in Elko, Ely, Fallon, Tonopah and Winnemucca.

The information will be used to craft the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan required by HUD for funding.

“I would encourage every Nevadan to take the time to fill out the two brief surveys and make every effort to attend the public meetings to ensure their voices are heard on these important priorities,” Gov. Steve Sisolak said. “The feedback will allow the state to create the plan that will help with housing and community issues across the state.”

Residents can also take a survey here about housing and community development issues with the data being used to create the Consolidated Plan and help set priorities.

Residents can take a survey by going here about fair housing issues examining if there are discrimination issues regarding various aspects of renting and buying a home. Both surveys are open until Dec. 31.

“The meetings and surveys are the way Nevadans can help shape the priorities in our communities for next five years. All the information from the meetings and surveys will be used to create the Consolidated plan” said Patricia Herzog, GOED’s Director of Rural and Community Development. “Take the short surveys and let your voices be heard.”

Rural Nevada and Carson City receives HUD funding through the state. Nevada’s larger communities — Las Vegas, North Las Vegas, Henderson, Clark County, Reno and Sparks — receive funding directly from HUD and conduct separate planning processes.

See diversifynevada.com for more information about the surveys and locations of the video conference sites.

Here's what's happening Wednesday:

— Capital City Arts Initiative Presents: Saludos Amigos. 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The Capital City Arts Initiative presents its exhibition, "Saludos Amigos", by artist Justin Favela at the CCAI Courthouse Gallery. The exhibition will be in the gallery from now through January 29, 2020. The Courthouse is located at 885 E Musser Street, Carson City. The reception and the exhibition are free and the public is cordially invited. The gallery is open Monday through Friday. In this installation, Favela will collage imagery from famous animated films that depict Latin American culture. Using his signature "piñata style" Favela will make large scale murals with tissue paper and glue that will break down images from films like “The Three Caballeros”, “The Emperor's New Groove” and “Coco.” These films celebrate Latin American culture but through the investigation of the imagery, Favela will highlight the exoticism and Hollywood fantasy that falsely represents an entire culture. Favela, a Las Vegas native, makes work in a piñata style exploring his identity as a Latino from Las Vegas with Mexican and Guatemalan parents. He makes his work with traditional craft materials like tissue paper and cardboard, making anything from sculptures to large scale paper installations. A lot of his work is labor intensive and benefits from assistance and creative input from community members who help build and conceptualize his projects. Previously, Favela has worked with school groups to seniors to develop some of his larger scale installations.

A 27-year-old man was arrested early Wednesday in the 900 block of North Carson Street for misdemeanor suspicion of disorderly conduct and resisting a public officer, a Carson City sheriff's deputy report states.

According to the report, a deputy patrolling the area observed a man sleeping on a bench at 1:20 a.m. in front of a motel in the 900 block of North Carson Street. The officer asked the man for identification.

The man didn't have ID and provided a name. The deputy ran a records check which didn't have any matches in all 50 states. The man became uncooperative after being asked to place his bag down on a bench, the report states. He eventually complied.

After multiple times to get accurate information, the man was advised he was being arrested for disorderly conduct. The man refused to comply with commands to place his hands behind his back and pulled away from the officer. He refused commands and was taken to the ground where he tucked his hands underneath himself. He continued to refuse commands and was tasered and placed into custody. Bail: $654.

— A 36-year-old Carson City man was arrested Tuesday, 10:39 p.m. in the 2500 block of North Carson Street for suspicion of obstructing an officer, a misdemeanor.

According to the arrest report, a deputy was dispatched to look for a vehicle where a reporting party stated a passenger window was shattered outward while traveling on I-580. A deputy located the vehicle via a license plate check which came back to a business in the 2500 block of North Carson Street. The vehicle was unoccupied. The deputy discovered the front passenger window was shattered and observed blood on the inside of the passenger front door.

While waiting for a cover unit, a juvenile child walked outside with a dog. The deputy could hear yelling inside the building from a male and female.

The male came to the door and had his hand in his right jacket pocket. The deputy instructed him to remove his hand from his pocket. The man became angry and aggressive toward two deputies, and said he did not want to talk anymore and began yelling that deputies were trespassing on his property and told them to leave, the report states.

The man then went back inside and locked the door. Later he came back outside and was still verbally agitated. Deputies could smell alcohol coming from his person. The man told officers that they were treating him like a criminal, the report states.

A deputy explained to the man the sheriff's office received a call from Washoe County that someone reported a suspicious circumstance regarding a vehicle and a window being smashed out while the vehicle was being driven on the road. The man again became verbally aggressive and told officers to leave and that there wasn't a crime, the report states.

The deputy told the man that officers were there for a lawful reason and that he needed to stop obstructing the investigation. The man then rushed back to the building and was stopped and detained. The man kept yelling and physically resisting, the report states. He would not allow officers to interview him, and yelled at all deputies who arrived on scene. He was placed under arrest for suspicion of obstructing an officer and taken to jail. Bail: $412.

That moment when the boss calls to offer you your first job, your first real job, is a memorable one. So just imagine how Taylor Negrete felt when he not only got a call, but The Call, from The Boss.

The longtime northern Nevada resident, who was born in Carson City and grew up in Minden and Dayton, recently experienced the duality and poignancy of all this when he received his first Call to serve the Lord as Worship Pastor at Selma First Baptist Church in Selma, Calif., and in the process becoming the first alum in Sierra Lutheran High School history to become a pastor.

“The day I was ordained, the board of the church gathered around me and prayed for me. I remember feeling like it was surreal. It was one of those moments I had longed for and dreamt about,” Negrete recalled.

“Since I was little, my answer to any career question was always to be a pastor. I remember seeing pastors growing up and being in awe of them. That same kind of awe that kids have when they see police officers or firemen. As I got older, that passion and answer never changed.”

It was preordained in the eyes of many at Sierra Lutheran that Negrete, a member of the Class of 2014, would one day be theologically ordained, having earned the unqualified respect of his peers and teachers that ultimately garnered him the Christi Lux, Light of Christ Award, his senior year.

“Taylor was definitely a spiritual leader on campus and very gifted musically,” SLHS Principal Dr. Tami Seddon recalled. “In fact, he wrote a song called "Turning Pages" that the seniors sang at graduation.”

Serving his brothers and sisters in ministry has always had spiritual and literal meaning to Negrete, who has followed his father, Jack, and mother, Cheri in the family business, so to speak. Both his parents were instrumental in planting Lifepoint Church in Minden, which has grown to become one of the largest evangelical churches in the area, and then later Centerpoint Church in Dayton.

“My parents had a huge impact on my decision to pursue ministry and serve the Lord,” Negrete said. “They exemplified the type of life I want to live and the type of legacy I want to leave. I have seen my parents be in ministry my entire life and have seen first hand the blessings that followed due to their faithfulness.”

After graduating from Sierra Lutheran, Negrete went on to William Jessup University in Rocklin, Calif., to pursue a bachelor’s degree in Psychology, with a minor in Theology, where he received rich opportunities on campus and in the community to further his passion for worship ministry, but not without some early trepidation.

“I remember first getting to Jessup and I saw all of the amazing musicians and I remember being so discouraged,” Negrete said. “But little by little, God continued to give me opportunities to use my talents to glorify Him. I decided to listen to who He has called me to be which allowed me have these opportunities.”

Those opportunities included substantive growth experiences that included being a part of the university’s chapel band and serving various churches in the Sacramento area with music ministry that led to his most significant undergraduate growth as Worship Director at Lincoln Christian Life Center in Lincoln, Calif.

“My biggest mentor was Pastor Bill Rath from Lincoln Christian Life Center,” Negrete continued. “Pastor Bill gave me my first ministry position as Worship Director and is still a very close friend.”

“He showed me the ins and outs of what it means to be a pastor. We experienced amazing highs and got through some tough lows, but through it all, he taught me what it truly means to be a leader.”

The tutelage not only grew Negrete, personally, but the church as well, with Negrete’s involvement helping the number of parishioners grow from 40 to 110 people during his tenure.

“During this time, I had the opportunity to actually take what I was learning in college and actually put it into practice. The things that I dreamt of doing God gave me the opportunity to do.”

It was eight months later, after graduating from William Jessup a semester early, that Negrete, received that seminal Call for his first pastorship as Worship Pastor at Selma First Baptist Church, working alongside his father, who became the senior pastor there a year ago. The opportunity represented the realization of a lifelong dream.

“My wife and I began praying to determine if it was God’s will and His call for us to also move to Selma to help,” Negrete explained. “After many confirmations, God made it clear that we were supposed to move from Sacramento to the Central Valley.

Now, standing in that place of service and influence that he longed for, Negrete has welcomed new experiences in ministry, and sees an even broader understanding of church work that often goes unnoticed.

“I oversee worship ministry, and I also have been given opportunities to give sermons. I am enjoying the opportunity to grow as a leader and continue developing my pastoral skills.”

“...There is so much that happens (behind the scenes). Every service or event you go to is both extensively prayed over, prepared, executed and then discussed/debriefed. Lots of practicing, meeting, and researching that goes into the many facets of ministry to be able to reach the most people for Christ.”

In a time when church attendance has seen a decline, particularly with young people, Negrete recalls the critical impact Christian education had on his upbringing, and the need for the Church to trust its rising pastors.

“I am beyond grateful to have had the opportunity to attend a faith-based high school. I wish I could go back to the old Taylor in times of high school frustration to remind him of how blessed he was to attend a school that cared so deeply about his faith.”

“I think that my biggest advice to the Church is to invest in the millennial generation ... The truth is, this new generation of leaders is eager to be used. I get that having young eager pastors or volunteers can be intimidating, but we need experienced pastors to take us under their wings and to allow us to learn from them,” Negrete explained.

“I encourage experienced pastors to think about the people who believed in them, to think about the things that they tried that people shook their head at, to give young pastors the opportunity to learn so we can be equipped to continue to build the next generation of believers.”

And possibly have more on Call than on call waiting.

Everyone knows that October is breast cancer awareness month, but did you know that October is also homocystinuria (HCU) awareness month? Not many have ever heard of the disorder. I definitely hadn’t when I was diagnosed with the condition in April of 2011.

I was a special education teacher with the Carson City School District until I had a stroke at the age of 46. Seven years later, I was finally diagnosed as the oldest living person in the worldwide HCU community with the rare genetic disease.

Homocystinuria is an autosomal recessive disease. This means that each parent must contribute a specific gene in order to have a child born with the condition. If not diagnosed early, it can result in many disorders of the eye, skeletal, nervous and vascular systems.

It’s prevalence in the United States is estimated at 1 in 200,000 people, however, in other parts of the world such as Qatar and Ireland, it’s prevalence is much higher.

Disorders of the eyes include ectopic or dislocated lenses. By age 8, if not previously diagnosed, most people with homocystinuria will experience this. Other impairments can include retinal detachments, severe myopia, and glaucoma.

Skeletal problems can include osteoporosis, scoliosis, pectus excavatum (sunken chest) or pectus carinatum (pigeon chest) and knock knees. These symptoms can often occur from a very young age. Many patients are misdiagnosed as having Marfan’s syndrome, which shares similar characteristics.

Impairments in the nervous system include intellectual disabilities, seizures, as well as psychiatric and behavioral disturbances.

Affecting the vascular system, thromboembolism, can be one of the causes of early death in undiagnosed HCU patients.

Symptoms can vary widely among those with HCU, which can make diagnosis a challenge. I am one of the lucky ones. I struggled with many aspects of this disease including multiple eye issues, wore a back brace for scoliosis, and had a stroke and several blood clots in my lungs. I must have a guardian angel looking over me, because I somehow survived everything before my diagnosis. HCU is now tested as part of newborn screening in all 50 states, but not all cases are caught. Sadly, It’s not uncommon for young children to develop life threatening complications.

Colbie was just 3 years old when she had to be care flighted to Seattle with a massive blood clot in her brain.

At 9 years old Zak, became an “angel in the outfield” after dying due to complications of his disease following a baseball practice, leaving his family devastated.

I am speaking out about homocystinuria because I believe it is important to raise awareness of this disorder. Through my own research and perseverance, I found out about HCU before it was too late. Now, through a low protein diet, medications and a special metabolic formula I am doing well and on the road to better health. If patients are diagnosed in infancy, they can often avoid many of the harsher aspects of the disease and lead rewarding and productive lives.

Nevada quarterback Malik Henry earned a second chance, and he made the most of it.

Henry threw for a team-high 352 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions in his first FBS start on Saturday, leading the Wolf Pack to a 41-38 victory over San Jose State. The junior signal caller savored every moment on the field.

A former five-star recruit, Henry left Florida State University and played two seasons at Independence Community College in Kansas. Henry’s status as a prospect had lost its shine and he had no Division-1 scholarship offers. He walked on at Nevada in the spring.

CARSON CITY — September employment numbers in Nevada show jobs up by 6,000 over the month and 45,200 over the year. The state’s unemployment rate is unchanged from August, at 4.1 percent, and down 0.4 percentage point when compared to last September, according to figures released Wednesday by the state's Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation.

“It is encouraging to see that this month’s economic report reflects steady growth in Nevada’s economy. Employment in the state continues to rise, exceeding the national job rate, while unemployment and initial claims remain low," said Gov. Steve Sisolak. "Personal income also shows improvement, with growth approaching the national average. While the state’s labor market remains encouraging, we must continue our efforts to ensure ongoing job opportunities for all Nevadans."

DETR’s report also notes that Nevada initial claims for unemployment insurance totaled 8,441 and realized a year-over-year increase this month, up 1.8 percent in September, or 151 claims.

Although the national economic outlook remains uncertain, Nevada’s economy reflects a tight labor market and is holding positive trends, said David Schmidt, Chief Economist for DETR. The unemployment rate held steady once again this month remaining relatively low, historically speaking. Additionally, the state’s share of people who have been unemployed for more than 26 weeks make up just 0.8 percent of our state labor force, a level consistent with a healthy labor market.

"Although the state’s economy realized positive measures in September, we will continue to monitor both Nevada and the nation’s labor markets for signs of a turning point," said Schmidt.

Additional September Report Highlights:
— Total employment rose by 3.2 percent over the year, more than double the current U.S. growth rate (1.4 percent).

— Professional and business services added the most jobs out of all sectors, for the 12-month period ending in September 2019, increasing by an average of 12,800 jobs over the same year time the year prior.

— Information for the second quarter of 2019 shows per capita personal income in Nevada was up over the month at $50,675 and was 90 percent of the national level of $56,541.

This month’s national unemployment rate (3.5%) is the lowest it’s been since December of 1969, nearly 50 years ago. The gap between Nevada’s rate and the nation’s increased from 0.4 percent in August to half a percent in September.

— Nevada’s long-term unemployment (those unemployed for 27 weeks or more) rate stands at 0.8 percent, unchanged over last August.

— From January 2014 to August 2019, the unemployment rate for Asians, Blacks, and Whites have all been trending downward.

— Year-to-date through September, 272,430 ads have been posted for jobs in Nevada, an increase of 47,503 (21.1 percent) from the same period last year.

After several weeks of discussions, ideas and planning, the prospective buyer of the famous Ormsby House in Carson City has apparently pulled his offer to buy the building, returning it to the market.

Kimberly Fiegehen, who represents current Ormsby House owners Al Fiegehen and Don Lehr, has confirmed Joe D’Angelo has cancelled his bid.

D’Angelo made the news after discussing his plans for the historic building which included five restaurants, a green energy power plant, and an on site top of the line medical facility.

D’Angelo’s local publicist, Jeff Glass, said D’Angelo had no comment regarding his decision.

This is a developing story.
