Issue: June 28, 2012
Dear Folks,
This week the cover story is a grabber-- Jake Highton makes the case
for atheism. We should get a couple of letters on that one.
In Green, Ashley Hennefer profiles a UNR professor who specializes in
study of fresh water creatures. At the halfway point of 2012, Bob
Grimm assesses the movie year so far, especially compared to 2011, a
year of cinema turkeys if there ever was one. In News, we report on
Reno Mayor Bob Cashell's efforts to try to stop fire services
deconsolidation in the last hours before the county goes off on its
own. On our "In rotation" page, Matthew Craggs will give you some
hints for your pet's birthday-- new gadgets for dogs and cats. K.J.
Sullivan samples the food at Verdi's Sasquatch Tavern and Grill and
reports back. And Bruce Van Dyke gives us his thoughts on hologram
entertainers and a presidential campaign drenched in cash.
Be sure, too, to pick up a copy of the print edition because tucked
inside is our annual guide to Artown and Rollin' on the River.
See you in church.
