Food Bank of Northern Nevada cancels Tuesday distribution events due to winter weather

A winter storm moving into Northern Nevada is forcing the cancellation of several food distribution events scheduled for Tuesday.

The Food Bank of Northern Nevada announced that all Mobile Harvest distributions planned for Feb. 17 have been canceled due to the incoming snowstorm. The impacted sites include Sparks LDS, Virginia City and Hungry Valley.

Officials say safety concerns for volunteers, staff and community members prompted the decision.

The Produce on Wheels distribution in Hawthorne has been rescheduled to Thursday, February 26. Community members planning to attend are encouraged to mark their calendars for the new date.

For those who receive Senior Nutrition Weekend Program boxes, the Food Bank says a final decision will be made tomorrow morning. Updates will be shared as soon as more information becomes available.

Gas prices climb in northern Nevada amid tensions in the Middle East

Gas prices climb in northern Nevada amid tensions in the Middle East

$3.99 on Sunday, $4.09 just days later.

An extra dime for the same gallon of gas, but why?

Conflict in the Middle East has impacted prices at the pump for drivers here in northern Nevada and across the country.

According to AAA, the national average for a gallon of gas has jumped nearly 27 cents since last week, coming in at $3.25. In Reno, the average price is roughly $4.26.

Experts say for every $5 to $10 increase in oil prices, drivers could pay 15 to 25 cents more per gallon.

The increase primarily comes down to the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow waterway between Iran and Oman, which controls roughly 20% of the world’s oil supplies. Amid the tensions, traffic through the area has recently ground to a halt.

Michael Goldman, General Manager of Caru Containers North America, said many of the shippers who typically go through the Strait have changed course.

“We’re seeing the routes ships need to take be much longer, much more costly. Going around the Horn of Africa instead of going through the Strait of Hormuz and the Red Sea. And we’re definitely seeing cost increases to those carriers to make those journeys,” said Goldman.

Jayce Robinson from Sparks said he’s always looking for the best deal in town on gas.

“I mostly fill up here for work, so it’s not my money, but when I do fill up, I definitely look for the cheapest place because money’s tight and gas is expensive,” Robinson said.

10-month-old found safe, North Las Vegas police cancel AMBER Alert

LAS VEGAS (KSNV) — Authorities have canceled an AMBER Alert after they say a 10-month-old child taken by a non-custodial parent was found safe.

North Las Vegas Police said Thursday that Leilani Williams (aka Leilani Duke) was taken by her father, Roderick Duke.

Duke and Leilani were last seen at an apartment complex in the area of Martin L. King Boulevard and Cheyenne Avenue at 1:40 a.m.
