Issue: February 14, 2013
Dear Folks,
If you thought the Steven Brooks story was running itself out, we
will have new information this week. In his cover story, D. Brian
Burghart uses online sources to profile legislator Brooks from public
documents.
Our annual Family Guide will also be out this week, edited by Ashley
Hennefer and including information on parents and school, upcoming
family-friendly movies, science projects using household items, and more.
In Green, Ashley writes about the efforts of two urban farmers who
are planting crops near downtown Reno.
Nora Henston writes about the band Drag Me Under, Bob Grimm reviews
Identity Thief, and Dave Preston visits the Big Horn Olive Oil Company.
In News, we'll look at the cascade of development affecting the
proposed dump for high-level nuclear wastes at Yucca Mountain in Nye County.
There's all of that and more in this week's edition.
Take care,
Dennis Myers
News editor
