Issue: December 20, 2012
Dear Folks,
It's Winter Guide time. Ashley Hennefer has put together a package
of articles for this issue that describe sledding and tubing hotspots
(well, not that hot) as well as winter skin care treatment, local
sled dog fanciers, and speed racers from UNR.
In Green, Ashley also writes about a federal report on supposedly
dwindling water supplies in the Colorado River Basin, which includes
Nevada. Our man on music Brad Bynum provides his year-end yiew of
the best albums of 2012. In news, we'll look at the expected new
effort to create mining tax royalties that match those already paid
on oil and gas. Bruce Van Dyke reacts to Sandy Hook and Brian
Burghart interviews Santa Claus. It's all in this week's Reno News & Review.
Thank you for reading us. If it weren't for you, it wouldn't be a
full holiday.
Take care,
Dennis
