  2. A local optometrist is offering a free literacy program to improve reading skills for all ages. Dr. Richard Meier says he discovered a condition responsible for delaying reading development and has engineered a solution.

  3. A new report released by the University of Nevada Las Vegas revealed that 60 percent of the most common occupations do not currently earn the income needed to afford rent for a studio apartment in Reno.
