Issue: September 18, 2014
Dear Folks,
Autumn is just days away, and this one will include Nevada's 150th
birthday on October 31. Our Fall Guide in this week's edition offers
150 media notes about Nevada that will suggest some Nevada-related
things you could spend your time doing this fall, from reading
Roughing It to playing Fallout: New Vegas.
In Green, Sage Leehey gets dirty to tell us about how to "build" soil
that serves Nevada's peculiar farming needs. Brad Bynum profiles
Betty Rocker, a Carson City-based band in MusicBeat, and also
interviews Ron Rash, operator of a new zine and small press bookshop,
in 15 Minutes. Todd South samples the new menu at Pinocchio's, and
Bruce Van Dyke gets down among the sharks and barracudas as a skin diver.
And remember that there are features that are only in the print
edition, so pick one up. Thank you for reading us.
Take care,
Dennis Myers
News editor
