Issue: June 12, 2014
Dear Folks,
Summer may not have started in calendar terms yet, but it is surely
here in temperatures. And this week's Reno News & Review has a
day-by-day calendar of suggested summer activities and events for you.
Elsewhere in this issue. Brad Bynum reports on the second Positively
Fourth Street festival, Sage Leehey has an interview with Sierra Club
leader David von Seggern and describes a UNR Solar Nexus Project. In
news, we look at the impact Nevada congressmembers could have in the
fight over net neutrality -- the internet regulations that hold down
the prices of internet service providers.
With Fathers Day approaching, film critic Bob Grimm assesses fathers
in movie history. He also provides his appraisal of the Emily Blunt
movie Edge of Tomorrow.
If the summer heat is keeping you inside, pick up this edition of the
RN&R and read in air conditioned comfort about all the hot activities
you can escape this summer.
Take care,
Dennis Myers
