Issue: February 18, 2016
Dear Folks,
Where were you in 1995? If you were in Reno, you could have picked up
volume one, number one of the Reno News & Review. We commissioned
freelancer Mark Maynard to give us his view of our newspaper as it turns
21 this week, and his findings appear in the cover story.
In the print edition, Renoites also describe how they marked THEIR 21st
birthdays.
Elsewhere in this edition, we have a report on the impending Democratic
presidential caucuses on Saturday and the Republican caucuses three days
later, along with the caucus commentaries of our opinion columnists
Sheila Leslie and Brendan Trainor. In Green, Kelsey Fitzgerald reports
on Washoe County Commission debates about how the county should get
ready for the possibility of voter-mandated legal marijuana. Movie
critic Bob Grimm puts Ben Stiller's revival of Zoolander under
scrutiny. Jessica Santina describes what's ahead this spring in Reno
theatre. And Bruce Van Dyke reacts to the passing of Justice Scalia.
Thank you for reading us.
Take care,
Dennis Myers
