Issue: January 01, 2015
Dear Folks,
The winners in our 95-word fiction contest will be revealed in this
week's edition, and the author of first place knows how to pack a lot
into each of those words. The winning entries make up our cover
story this week.
In Green, Sage Leehey wrote about the upcoming Nevada Small Farm
Conference, a reminder of the states' role in agriculture-- and, I
regret to say, Sage's coda at the RN&R. I regret to say we are
losing her to family and Las Vegas after she has made us look so good.
Brad Bynum writes about a new Holland Project Gallery exhibit that
taps into the natural world and the art of Josie Luciano. Bob Grimm
reviews the long awaited screen version of Stephen Sondheim and James
Lapine's play Into the Woods. And Todd South reports on his two
trips to Ryan's Saloon -- a Reno fixture -- to test the food.
Thank you for reading us, and have a great holiday.
Take care,
Dennis Myers
