B: Alton Brown

Outstanding show that was a bucket list item for me. I love listening to his stories. Thanks for coming to Reno, Mr. Brown! #lastbite #altonbrownlive

A: About Me

Sara Dowling has covered education, government, business and community events news in rural Fallon and Churchill County, Nevada for the Lahontan Valley News since 2023.

A Fallon native and a 1994 Churchill County High School graduate, she also holds an associate of arts degree in graphic communications from Western Nevada College. While she doesn’t have any formal Journalism education, Dowling treats her current opportunity to learn from LVN Editor Emeritus Steve Ranson as a Master Class.

To compensate for hearing loss caused by a childhood injury, Dowling utilizes technology such as audio recordings, closed captioned videos, voice-to-text transcription and digitally enhanced hearing aids in her reporting.

Dowling loves God, her family and serving her hometown community through writing. She has always enjoyed learning, reading, writing, art and music and she walks at least 10,000 steps a day with her Shih Tzu personal trainer, Princess.
