Today's riddle: What are the two favorite words for a shark to hear? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. This Natural-Habitat Wildlife Sanctuary Is Hiding Right Here In Nevada (takingthekids.com) — Animal Ark Wildlife Sanctuary, just northwest of Reno in the Red Rock area, offers rescued wild animals spacious, natural-style habitats and seasonal visiting hours. Families can walk dusty desert trails, attend special programs like cheetah runs or wolf howls, and support animal care through admission and gift shop purchases. Plan around weather, seasonal closures, and mobility needs before heading to 1265 Deerlodge Road.
2. City of Reno responds after complaints over electronic waste collection event (2news.com) — Reno residents who lined up for Saturday's hazardous and electronic waste drop-off saw the event hit capacity quickly, leaving some turned away after long waits. City officials say bins filled faster than expected, explain why capacity was limited, and note no more e‑waste events are scheduled yet, though a broader community cleanup is planned this fall.
3. Pickup driver airlifted after rolling 300 yards down canyon in Sonoma Mountains (mynews4.com) — A man seriously injured when his pickup rolled 300 yards down a canyon in the Sonoma Mountain Range was airlifted to Renown Regional Medical Center in Reno and is expected to recover. Local deputies, a special response team, and flight medics coordinated the difficult backcountry rescue, and officials are urging anyone exploring remote areas near Reno to plan carefully and carry reliable communication gear.
4. UNR speaker highlights linguistic discrimination concerns (thisisreno.com) — At the University of Nevada, Reno, students recently heard linguist Ana Celia Zentella warn about growing linguistic discrimination and the fading use of Spanish among younger generations. Her Hispanic Heritage Month talk connected national trends to Nevada's sizable Latino population and UNR's diverse student body, encouraging Reno students of all backgrounds to value bilingualism, Spanglish, and cultural heritage on campus and beyond.
