Issue: September 03, 2015
Dear Folks,
This week in the Reno News & Review, Brad Bynum learns pole dancing and
Anna Hart goes into a sensory deprivation tank.
No, wait-- I've got that backward. In his cover story this week, Brad
describes his experience in the deprivation tank, bringing in references
to Yoda, authentic hippie frontier gibberish, and (of course) Burning
Man. Anna tells us about facing down scorn from her friends to go to
pole dancing school.
Speaking of school, in news this week we discuss the lawsuit against the
state's new financial grant program for parents who pull their children
out of public school to seek alternatives. In Green, Kelsey Fitzgerald
looks at SCUBA divers who track the offshore temperatures in Lake Tahoe.
Bob Grimm discusses his underwhelmed reaction to the new Owen Wilson
movie, and Bruce Van Dyke tells about taking his daughters to Burning
Man-- and then splitting.
Thank you for reading us. It makes good senses.
Take care,
Dennis Myers,
News editor
