Many motels are now being torn down, after being bought out and razed by slow to act developers, with many vacant lots now dotting the downtown landscape. http://www.ourtownreno.com/our-stories-1/2022/7/5/last-motels-standing-in-reno-the-swan-inn monthly 0.5 2022-07-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5675d221cbced60a236e28b8/af058be1-ea07-4daf-a38e-42834c54caae/_MG_8195.jpeg News and Features - The Last Motels Standing in Reno: Swan Inn - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5675d221cbced60a236e28b8/1657035140606-FHHSDCFG7CQKJ62ATS72/_MG_8180.jpeg News and Features - The Last Motels Standing in Reno: Swan Inn https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5675d221cbced60a236e28b8/1657035141107-CX7B6UTJW1YZZMTV34UL/_MG_8185.jpeg News and Features - The Last Motels Standing in Reno: Swan Inn https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5675d221cbced60a236e28b8/1657035166324-BHMRKVFXSRCYBKGPHMHT/_MG_8187.jpeg News and Features - The Last Motels Standing in Reno: Swan Inn https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5675d221cbced60a236e28b8/1657035161248-BK9KNL8QSYTFPRMSD89E/_MG_8201.jpeg News and Features - The Last Motels Standing in Reno: Swan Inn https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5675d221cbced60a236e28b8/1657035270454-LK4KH27RG403A51R3RXR/_MG_8202.jpeg News and Features - The Last Motels Standing in Reno: Swan Inn https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5675d221cbced60a236e28b8/1657035253628-IL939NMLVZ067SAIR6IF/_MG_8208.jpeg News and Features - The Last Motels Standing in Reno: Swan Inn https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5675d221cbced60a236e28b8/1657035316235-NLT4UFOSW3BPHOO4Q1RP/_MG_8211.jpeg News and Features - The Last Motels Standing in Reno: Swan Inn https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5675d221cbced60a236e28b8/1657035322971-QN0HCZQVRVGU82W1CZ03/_MG_8213.jpeg News and Features - The Last Motels Standing in Reno: Swan Inn http://www.ourtownreno.com/our-stories-1/2022/7/5/accept-reno monthly 0.5 2022-07-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5675d221cbced60a236e28b8/c41b3973-df13-497d-91e9-b6f1a80db7f5/IMG20220629101943.jpeg News and Features - ACCEPT Reno Has a Long History in Helping HIV+ Community Members - Make it stand out The ACCEPT Reno team which “provides HIV specific prevention and intervention services, as well as substance abuse prevention, support and care services for individuals living with HIV.” With a new health equity grant, ACCEPT Reno will start serving non-HIV+ clients as well starting on July 15th. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5675d221cbced60a236e28b8/c92dd1a6-4953-4c3c-b5ce-50860e4f27a2/IMG20220705152106.jpeg News and Features - ACCEPT Reno Has a Long History in Helping HIV+ Community Members - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. http://www.ourtownreno.com/our-stories-1/2022/7/6/a-powerful-trio-leading-the-charge-of-nightly-reno-summer-protests monthly 0.5 2022-07-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5675d221cbced60a236e28b8/7504826e-606a-4510-a942-50419564f8b5/DSC07612.JPG News and Features - A Powerful Trio Leading the Charge of Nightly Reno Summer Protests - Make it stand out “America, it's the land of the free, but it never has been,” Evann (left) said. “And that's why what we're doing here is trying to make it the land of the free for all of us.

They had 200 yards away from the encampment fenced off already. So they were just guarding the whole perimeter. And there were like 10 different organizations that were destroying these things. Nobody was in charge. They were like, ‘oh, this person is.’ I think the police eventually said somebody from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was in charge, but I doubt that.” Photo with hashtag shared by Majors with permission to use. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5675d221cbced60a236e28b8/1626882880989-L28X57GPI78FKR5TJTBF/IMG_5901.jpeg News and Features - Robert Majors, Persisting with Establishing Huts in Nevada Despite An Initial Raid - Make it stand out “We build these with a group of volunteers, some inexperienced, who never cut anything in their lives.

About half of them are making soups, sandwiches, and baked goods and delivering them to her house. The others help her set up and pass out their offerings to the homeless twice a month. This past Sunday, volunteers passed out 180 servings of soup, over 400 sandwiches, 40 chicken wraps, over 100 muffins, 50 pairs of gloves, 40 pairs of socks, 26 beanies, 48 fleece blankets, 175 face masks, 24 reusable water bottles, and 80 hygiene kits. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5675d221cbced60a236e28b8/1615330220231-2794CC97QVP7H6TL3P36/05.jpg News and Features - Reno Soup for the Soul "Keeps Going" and Pivots to Salads, Sandwiches and Much More Duncan and the volunteers are efficient. Within minutes of pulling into an encampment, tables were set up with boxes of soups, sandwiches, fruit, and hygiene kits ready to go. As a line formed, a volunteer passed out bags and masks and talked with each individual person. By the end of the line, people left with necessities making their struggle a little more bearable. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5675d221cbced60a236e28b8/1615330369361-5QLBFUIWVD41HGHX0GX1/06.jpg News and Features - Reno Soup for the Soul "Keeps Going" and Pivots to Salads, Sandwiches and Much More Though she had to switch from weekly to every other week to remain sustainable, Duncan is proud that she has been persistent. “We’re still doing this consistently,” she explained “we’re making a difference, I really credit Blaize [Abuntori, the founder] from the Reno Burrito Project for inspiring me to do so, even when it’s not perfect, we keep going.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5675d221cbced60a236e28b8/1615330588694-TZCM5SXOPSE4TQWH4VRH/07.jpg News and Features - Reno Soup for the Soul "Keeps Going" and Pivots to Salads, Sandwiches and Much More While the group set up in a second location on Record Street, Duncan was approached by a Reno Ambassador. He informed her that the owner of Record Street Brewing Company did not want them set up and serving the homeless food in front of the building. With no other suitable location nearby, this came as a shock to volunteers who see this form of gentrification potentially impacting their efforts. The owner did not respond to our requests for input. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5675d221cbced60a236e28b8/1615330687655-M21833T9GBTIQ35RL3R0/08.jpg News and Features - Reno Soup for the Soul "Keeps Going" and Pivots to Salads, Sandwiches and Much More Duncan has set up a gofundme account to raise money for supplies. In addition, she has created an Amazon wishlist. These online accounts help the community provide resources in a time when the pandemic has limited social interactions.

The money raised allows her to purchase items to fill in any cracks. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5675d221cbced60a236e28b8/1615330777369-HY2SB8SQBXS4MPT7D0Z3/09.jpg News and Features - Reno Soup for the Soul "Keeps Going" and Pivots to Salads, Sandwiches and Much More A man experiencing houselessness and sleeping at the downtown shelter waits patiently next to his bike as volunteers set up tables and food. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5675d221cbced60a236e28b8/1615330841436-QSD5QVD1XVREACQ8WF0Y/10.jpg News and Features - Reno Soup for the Soul "Keeps Going" and Pivots to Salads, Sandwiches and Much More With plenty of food left over after the second location, Duncan and the volunteers next went to the Volunteers of America homeless shelter on east Fourth street.

Though they are essential to the operation, the work Duncan does is vital. Just watching her orchestrate the operation is telling. She remains in the background and it is clear this project is not about her or personal gain. It is all about helping those most in need. http://www.ourtownreno.com/our-stories-1/2021/2/27/an-emt-dealing-with-meth-use-mental-health-covid-19-and-downtown-ambassadors monthly 0.5 2021-03-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5675d221cbced60a236e28b8/1614488494900-8TSI33ULX72LYQ6HF9H7/Picture+of+Michael+Guymon+%281%29.jpg News and Features - An EMT Dealing with Reno's Drug Abuse, Mental Health, COVID-19 and Downtown Ambassadors http://www.ourtownreno.com/our-stories-1/2021/3/5/kelly-a-covid-19-economic-casualty-along-the-truckee-river monthly 0.5 2021-03-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5675d221cbced60a236e28b8/1614981535190-U5793VBCK583317SZ8UN/20210305-KellyFishermansPark-7719.jpg News and Features - Kelly, a COVID-19 Economic Casualty along the Truckee River Kelly says she lost her job as security during the pandemic, and lost hope of getting stable shelter for now.

He got to experience the problem of youth homelessness in Reno that he did not realize existed. While the Eddy House targets vulnerable youth between the ages of 18 and 24, they bring enough supplies, such as hand warmers and water, to pass out to anyone in need. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5675d221cbced60a236e28b8/1613167035195-N4NZ1JFGBL287Q7INKLZ/Photo+02.jpg News and Features - Eddy House Outreach Team Meets Local At-Risk Youth Where They Are, a Photo Series Matt has been homeless for about a year and has lived along the river for about six months.

This was the second time he lost his job and housing. “Me and my husband are trying to get off the street ‘cause, well, let’s face it, this sucks,” explained Matt, a client of the Eddy House Outreach team. “Trying to find an affordable place is damn nigh impossible,” he said with frustration. The Eddy House Outreach team is helping him replace his identification at the moment. Matt wants the community to “give us a chance.

We had criminal activity occurring there. We had to do an entire inspection of the property and there were so many problems. We had a storage room, which was converted into a living space with no bathroom. We had an individual living in there. I think she was paying a much lower rate on rent, but it was not approved living quarters. As a matter of fact, it didn't even have a window … so if there was a fire or anything that would have been a disaster.” Ali told Our Town Reno it was the maintenance worker who was using the room, and only staying there when he had been needed for work late at night. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5675d221cbced60a236e28b8/1602794236853-WXN5S032Y8TY948I8S8C/DesertSunset+%281%29.JPG News and Features - Khalid Ali, Alleging Discrimination Over the Loss of His Old Motels Motels which are often the first or last resort of housing for some have steadily closed down, as city council members have talked of the need to fight blight as well as saying motels are not good for long term living solutions. “We had multiple units that had to be condemned and he was required to bring them up to code,” Woodley said of the Desert Sunset Motel. “We later on had individuals that were squatting in there and we were arresting individuals and pulling them out of the property. At some point he [Ali] was living on the property, keeping it secured. And we came to find out through investigations and interviews with the occupants that they were paying him cash. One individual claims that she had an arrangement with him with favors and we had to go out there with the police department because she was trying to attack him with a knife. She was trying to stab him … turns out that she had been arrested for prostitution.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5675d221cbced60a236e28b8/1603729748450-YXAO3VPBOJ3XPZPLIOXG/Screen+Shot+2020-10-26+at+9.28.55+AM.png News and Features - Khalid Ali, Alleging Discrimination Over the Loss of His Old Motels Above, an official notice of violation sent by the City of Reno concerning the Desert Sunset Motel. After being informed we were in contact with Woodley, Ali forwarded us this email (cut and paste below) which he said was sent by his wife to the Reno-Sparks Convention Authority several years ago, trying to find another party to help them in their interactions with Reno. “This is Khalid Ali, wife, Earlene. I have had numerous conversations with Joe Henry. He stated to me that he will not give Khalid a license or a permit for the motel. He will offer to me or Khalid, sister. please understand I am disabled and in a wheelchair. Joe Henry also stated that Khalid would not be allowed on the property. I think he has gone way beyond his authority. At this point in time, RSCVA has lost 9 months of revenue needlessly. This seems to be a personal agenda of Joe Henry to get Khalid out of business any way he can. no one was in danger when the fire started. It was not next to the rooms. If he had to close down a portion of the motel, I understand that. But not the entire motel. We have continually been required to have the electrical system checked. Each time” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5675d221cbced60a236e28b8/1602794480272-UFHQ144Z9FFSOH8XDCY5/Ho-Hum+%285%29.JPG News and Features - Khalid Ali, Alleging Discrimination Over the Loss of His Old Motels With motels like his being put out of business, Ali points to the rising homeless population on the streets of Reno as a result. “We always claimed that we represent the poor lifestyle of the homeless people.

But it's also one of the most unique, one of the most challenging. And by far the largest that we've had throughout the last few months and years,” Jon Humbert, the Neighborhood Services Public Information Officer for the City of Reno told Our Town Reno. “We're adding more fencing and enhancing what's there so that folks can't get back inside for their own safety and the safety of the neighborhoods,” he said of future plans at the railroad tracks. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5675d221cbced60a236e28b8/1583348947262-C9S0GQ9SFC19A8W00RJS/IMG-2104.jpeg News and Features - Jon Humbert, on why the City of Reno Decided to Move People from Train Tracks ACLU distributed leaflets indicated what the rights are for the unsheltered being asked to move. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5675d221cbced60a236e28b8/1583349259680-F63VPC7GSQ73OPGRHY1J/IMG-2148+%281%29.jpeg News and Features - Jon Humbert, on why the City of Reno Decided to Move People from Train Tracks We asked where these displaced people should go next? “Well, it's a combination of being in the community and hopefully that they take us up on the offer to enjoy some of the resources that we have, to take those opportunities for the Community Assistance Center…. Things like The Village on Sage street, other different opportunities that are there. But one of the most disheartening things is that when our mobile outreach, safety and street teams come out here and you know, offer all this data about where people can go and the different options that they need, whether it is a drug treatment services, whether it is just simply cleaning up, unfortunately very few people take us up on that offer.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5675d221cbced60a236e28b8/1583349474891-1ZH29PA8Y2E6JCAOQOZ5/IMG_0222.JPG News and Features - Jon Humbert, on why the City of Reno Decided to Move People from Train Tracks “I mean, they're going to have to try to find some place where they can legally be at, whether it is with other family members or friends… We want to make sure that if we're moving people out that there is some place to go. But that's exactly the point is that folks aren't taking that offer. And so if people are intentionally choosing this lifestyle, what can we do?” Humbert said when asked where people should go with shelters being full. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5675d221cbced60a236e28b8/1583350824636-ICRF8B2KTEHW3VKPHU0K/IMG_0233.JPG News and Features - Jon Humbert, on why the City of Reno Decided to Move People from Train Tracks “A lot of folks say that the government doesn't do enough. A lot of people say that the government does too much and gets in the role of people's lives, but seeing city government in action like this with compassion, with humanity, but also with reality I think is one of the most interesting things and important things for us. Because as a city we have a duty not only to the people who are concerned about this activity in their neighborhoods or businesses who are concerned about this just feet away from where they're working every day in their livelihoods but we also have a duty to the folks who've lived here that it isn't just faceless folks and just the homeless. These are our citizens too. These are our people and our residents and we need to treat them with respect just as we do everything everyone else. And that's always not a lot of people are, well not enough people maybe perceive it that way. And I think that our city government on our police department has really taken that to heart to say, we're here to give people every opportunity that we can within the bounds of budget constraints, the law and everything else that we want to help every single person out here. We truly, truly do. It's just so difficult,” Humbert said. http://www.ourtownreno.com/our-stories-1/2020/3/4/moriah-forced-away-from-train-tracks-in-downtown-reno monthly 0.5 2020-03-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5675d221cbced60a236e28b8/1583338131222-69W48ZH1COTIN73HWKSY/IMG-2071.jpg News and Features - Moriah, Forced Away from Train Tracks in Downtown Reno Moriah, 19, a former foster kid, was one of an estimated 200 people forced to move from train tracks just east of the downtown Reno shelter due to a cleanup.

What got me to start thinking about running a year and a half ago was the housing affordability crisis. And over that time, I've not seen a perspective coming out of the city council that takes the renter's perspective into consideration… The supply and demand issue has created significant price differentials that make it very difficult to live here and difficult to feel safe that you are going to have a place to live in a year or in six months.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5675d221cbced60a236e28b8/1578954980596-3W1D2NSEFH6UDKJT2W0N/DSC02115.JPG News and Features - Rudy Leon, the Renter's Candidate Pushing for "Attainable Housing" and Compassion “The city can't spend our way to a solution,” Leon said of the overall homelessness and housing affordability crisis our community faces. “We simply cannot. We need to come up with policy solutions that prevent homelessness, that intervene before people lose their housing, on drug addiction, on mental health, on better jobs. I mean we need to start bringing in more jobs, better jobs. And I want to, I intend to work on that as part of what I will do.” She said recent and ongoing initiatives such as the 1,000 homes in 120 days, the Village on Sage Street or tiny homes projects are good initiatives, but that they should be made to move faster, for more people and at more price ranges. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5675d221cbced60a236e28b8/1578956557935-BP5NIGOT819G2WRWF536/DSC02119.JPG News and Features - Rudy Leon, the Renter's Candidate Pushing for "Attainable Housing" and Compassion Leon has adorned her rental with political signs on many windows. She says she was spurred to get into politics herself after the last big election cycle of 2016. “I tend to be a fixer, not in the Paul Manafort sense, but in the sense of I want to fix things. I can't give up on something until I've tried to fix it. And I was very upset about the election, so I got involved with the Democratic Party to try and fix it. And so it was directly because of the political environment changing that I started watching what was happening with city council and I've lobbied the legislature and this is a town where you can make a difference, where anybody can make a difference. And that empowered me to think that, you know, I have a lot of things to offer. I've managed massive budgets, I've managed people, I've managed new programs and services as a career, as a librarian. I meet with a group of people, figure out what their needs are and then with the limited resources we have available, try and meet them. That's kind of how I see city council.” http://www.ourtownreno.com/our-stories-1/2020/1/12/michelle-an-opportunity-to-exhale-at-the-village-on-sage-street monthly 0.5 2020-01-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5675d221cbced60a236e28b8/1578864452773-8S7C8LP6WVD9AIYFSK1I/DSC02068.JPG News and Features - Michelle, An Opportunity to "Exhale" at the Village on Sage Street “This is really such a blessing,” Michelle Nullius Filius Couyette said of living at the Village on Sage Street, a collection of squeezed in $400 per month dorm units inside containers on land donated by the city of Reno. “I am happy for this opportunity and I really hope more people can take advantage of this.

And we also found that some of the [residents] had prior evictions, which made it incredibly challenging for people to find adequate housing.

Unfortunately, I think, our past governments have really looked over is how important the university and the [university] energy are and really trying to foster that type of environment for our students.

It’s a tough job. It’s not easy, but I was born and raised here. I love this city. And we did definitely bulldoze several motels downtown that were unsafe. Again, like I told you, they were deplorable and I just won't tolerate, landlords being slumlords.

It's heartbreaking. The truth is we have a problem that we need to address. We're undertaking efforts to address those concerns. But there's not one thing that's going to happen and all of a sudden we're going to have all the ills that we face fixed. We have a fundamental economic inequality in this country and it seems to be widening.

It goes back to that concept that the city is not in the ideal position to solve many of the social ills that we face, but we have a role to play and we're taking a very proactive role.

[It can be] a space where people can be safe, where they can camp if that's their desire or if that's their circumstance. I think people are camping in parks because that's out of necessity. I'd like to see some way in which we could find opportunities for there to be land that is set aside for the provision of that type of temporary housing. I don't think it should be long-term because I think people need the physical things that come with a roof, a toilet, a shower, and an address in a mailbox. But out of necessity, I'm interested in exploring that.” http://www.ourtownreno.com/our-stories-1/2019/10/13/a-quaint-campus-coffee-shop-is-closed-as-luxury-housing-spreads monthly 0.5 2019-10-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5675d221cbced60a236e28b8/1571024237417-UM07N3ZWVW77ZMLV9788/Screen+Shot+2019-10-13+at+8.34.40+PM.png News and Features - A Quaint Campus Coffee Shop is Closed as Student Luxury Housing Spreads After nearly ten years of serving the community including UNR students, creatives and local artists; the Bibo coffee company’s Record street location to the south of UNR’s campus is set to be demolished to make room for student housing.

I mean you have financial situations and relationship situations and relationships that need to be repaired, relationships with yourself, that need to be fixed and you've got all these different things that compose a life. It's everything. It's not just come hang out with us and stop drinking. It's really about, okay, that's the first step. Stop using and stop drinking. And then the next step would be what do we need to start fixing? And let's create a plan to get to your end game. Or if you could have it any way in the world, what would you want your life to be like? So LYFE Recovery services became the name that I chose because it's everything in life that we want to focus on when you're ready, but in a plan.

Stay numb to … you've lost your career… Maybe you're just going to find a place in a doorway to stay out of the elements. I mean imagine that you've had a full life before that. And I've been there, like I've been there … I lived in a cargo container in the port of Long Beach. I lived wondering if I was going to get robbed or raped. I lived with one eye open and one ear to like ....is somebody climbing in to my container? Is my stuff going to be there when I'm coming back? And so in order to survive , you have to develop such a hard shell. You have to like create this impenetrable like wall around your consciousness and your heart because how else do you survive every day?” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5675d221cbced60a236e28b8/1554407020974-YWZUGJ7ZCP7AKIIRWGJI/decoration.jpeg News and Features - Stacey Payne, Establishing a Model for Recovery Housing A decoration inside one of the rooms.

So if somebody reaches out to us, we do have an 800 number. It's (888) 590-9691. We also have a website which is www.lyferecovery.com And so if someone calls us and they're looking for housing, all we require is that they're willing to try to change their life and follow just basic living rules, keep your stuff clean, do your chores, be respectful…. We gather a little bit of information, name, date of birth, emergency contact, any meds that they might be on, legal issues that we can help with and if they're able to pay the fees even if someone's on SSI or SSDI and they have a reduced income, we have a reduced rate. Our hope is that once we get somebody housed, we're going to help them figure out how they're going to survive in life the rest of their life,” Payne said of the process of becoming housed in her program. http://www.ourtownreno.com/our-stories-1/2019/3/22/cheryl-struggling-to-get-the-medical-help-she-needs monthly 0.5 2019-04-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5675d221cbced60a236e28b8/1553276138667-OOZUBHXIG0ODG3IMRGSB/Cheryl.jpg News and Features - Cheryl, Struggling to Get the Medical Help She Needs Cheryl McFarland is a Reno native and is currently staying at the Lake Mill Lodge on Mill street. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5675d221cbced60a236e28b8/1553276330043-X35PO8V0F9HZKXB74AI9/inside+%28Cheryl+right%29.jpg News and Features - Cheryl, Struggling to Get the Medical Help She Needs Cheryl waited inside the bus but then her insurance was not accepted and she wasn’t able to refill her inhaler as she hoped.

The idea of his endeavor is to build awareness concerning homelessness around town but also to project the personal dignity of those affected. He has also started recording some of his audio conversations. Below he recounts some of his experience from earlier this year helping at the overflow tent at the main downtown homeless shelter. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5675d221cbced60a236e28b8/1535049254713-TW1ZB3KU64OO8ZWYVOCO/20180801-00030004-2-Edit-2.jpg News and Features - Another Night on Record Street https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5675d221cbced60a236e28b8/1535049859741-UXRJE7K7DEECR4E3RAGY/20180731-00030021-2-Edit-Edit.jpg News and Features - Another Night on Record Street https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5675d221cbced60a236e28b8/1535049519541-9N859BVSG2V34KNQQWX3/20180731-00030020-2-Edit.jpg News and Features - Another Night on Record Street https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5675d221cbced60a236e28b8/1535049807185-7EHWTVJBC5TKWU40070D/20180804-00150011-Edit-2-Edit.jpg News and Features - Another Night on Record Street http://www.ourtownreno.com/our-stories-1/2018/6/7/daniel-fred-an-addiction-treatment-instructor-with-first-hand-knowledge monthly 0.5 2018-08-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5675d221cbced60a236e28b8/1528389415148-TPQ5ODEIJX24DC1PXBGT/fred.jpeg News and Features - Daniel Fred, an Addiction Treatment Instructor with First Hand Knowledge Daniel Fred went viral last year when photos showed him holding a student's infant in a baby carrier while giving his lecture.

I think the reason we have problems isn’t that we have no education, but we have the wrong education in college. Students are never taught to question why they are doing it and what they are doing it for," Fred said when asked about his perception of drugs in general. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5675d221cbced60a236e28b8/1528390549403-060FOK0HMLF3B75XQNEI/advising.jpeg News and Features - Daniel Fred, an Addiction Treatment Instructor with First Hand Knowledge "Anytime the word legal is put on something it is automatically assumed that it is safe. The reason that we have such massive problems with alcohol and tobacco is not because of how terrible they are but because we think they are safe. This leads to more people using them. There is a direct correlation between the first time you do drugs and if someone is addicted. People get confused when we talk about if drugs are good or bad, but drugs aren’t necessarily the problem .... it is our view and our use on them. I think the view of weed being safe is what makes it dangerous still because more people are using it at a younger age. We just can’t see overdose because it does not affect that part of your brain. People assume that it is safer than alcohol and cigarettes, but I think within 10 years we will start seeing the negative consequences that go with weed," Fred said.

It doesn’t have to be a problem but if you don’t say anything then who is going to let you know. All you gotta do is say something. If you are concerned about someone I think the students need to empower students so they can be like 'hey I am worried about you' and try to help their peers. I think we need to train students to be active bystanders," Fred said of if you think a roommate might have a problem with drugs. http://www.ourtownreno.com/our-stories-1/2018/5/27/manuel-a-simple-man-broken-down-by-divorce-and-drinking monthly 0.5 2018-07-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5675d221cbced60a236e28b8/1527440260499-TT0E1QERDR7Z848G48GD/manuel.jpg News and Features - Manuel, A Simple Man, Broken Down by Divorce and Drinking When we met Manuel, 42, he was spending his day in downtown Reno, watching the river.

Jim Pfrommer (right), a tax and accounting consultant and the Foundation's current board chair said: "I think with many things, even in business as well, you have to adapt and you have to figure out what works and what doesn't.

"People know that this isn't going to solve our housing crisis, but it is going to supply a big inventory of units. We're anticipating 200 units that would truly be affordable. So this is really the only project right now that is developing that if you are making minimum wage, you would be able to afford a safe and dry home." http://www.ourtownreno.com/our-stories-1/2018/5/24/william-mantle-a-free-thinker-running-for-mayor-for-a-more-affordable-future monthly 0.5 2018-05-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5675d221cbced60a236e28b8/1527197712095-RQFXK96VPK91D106EG0L/IMG_4252.JPG News and Features - William Mantle, A "People-Focussed, Free-Thinker" Running for Mayor and a More Affordable Reno William Mantle, 31, currently on the Ward 3 Neighborhood Advisory Board and a Family Support Specialist in the Washoe County District Attorney's office is gearing up for the upcoming May 31st mayoral candidates debate to be held at the downtown library.

I believe that there should always be fiscal responsibility. I believe that we do need programs in place that elevate those most in need to a higher status and well being in life. I believe in redistribution of wealth as appropriate, but not in such a way that it would economically disincentive people's desire to earn in our capitalist economy. I would consider myself in general a moderate towards all things. Like, I take an issue, I look at whatever evidence and best practices we have and I go with what makes sense. I don't hardcore swing one way or the other. I'm not devoted to any one path.... I can change my mind based off of what's presented to me. You should always take the data that you have available to you and work with that and never off of just impulse or any knee jerk reactions because that's not good policy making, that's just good agendizing and I don't believe in that," Mantle said https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5675d221cbced60a236e28b8/1527200109296-ZI9T9KYFGY3PHJ1H7VVK/williamfacebook.jpeg News and Features - William Mantle, A "People-Focussed, Free-Thinker" Running for Mayor and a More Affordable Reno Above a screengrab from Mantle's Facebook campaign page.

I know there's a lot of rhetoric out there.... such as, 'Well, these people are choosing this (life) ....' There are some people who I believe aren't in a state of health to know what choice is best for them or what choice could be best for them. So I don't believe anyone goes out there and says, 'I can't wait to have a lack of security, no protection from the environment and no security of food or comfort.' It doesn't make sense to me. So I don't like that rhetoric. What I think we need to do is really take a broad-handed approach," Mantle says of dealing with homelessness.

It sounds like this is mostly focused on the Wild Orchid and I don't think that building is in any way beautiful. I don't think it's, you know, some Victorian architecture that we should all love and adore, but I think there's things that can be done. You could put trees in front of that building," Mantle says of other options rather than relocating the Wild Orchid from the Midtown district. "You could ask for the facade to be redone or something with the lights. Definitely remove the digital sign. I don't like it, but I also don't like the Nugget's digital sign or the GSR's digital sign. I don't like those digital signs, period. One thing that I thought was funny was that Harrah's was advertising a rather burlesque show with a huge sign of a woman who was showing all of her midriff and her panty line .... and a very tiny digital sign that says Girls, Girls, Girls is more offensive than an actual full frontage of a woman's bare body....

"Police are there for security and safety and code enforcement. That's what they're there for. They should be used like that. They shouldn't be used as our social workers .... Well, we'll just put you in jail for now until we can figure out how to get you better off. That's not the way I want things to develop. I think we can do better. It does take community investment. It takes empathy. It takes time and it takes money.... I don't have the answers right now. Nobody does. But that's something that I would absolutely look into to find out because we can do it. Other places are doing it better and .... are trying new things. We can learn from other cities.

But now where we’re at, clearly there’s people just kind of on the knife-edge of slipping into homelessness because of one rent increase or say an injury on the job, or some other life circumstance that happens, then boom, they plunge into homelessness. That’s probably the most heartbreaking thing about this right now, feeling like we’re [the council] trying to do as much as we can, and we are doing more, but knowing that those tragedies, those problems, are going to keep coming," Bobzien said when asked about homelessness in Reno. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5675d221cbced60a236e28b8/1524772257376-0SZ4YPEOLKBJ7FAXW5A7/RenoMotel.jpg News and Features - A View from City Council and David Bobzien: "We're Going to Have Growing Pains" "Certainly the motels are a big part of our twentieth-century history and a number of them are going to be purchased and are not going to be there anymore, but hopefully there’s a few developers out there that have the wherewithal and the capital and the interest to reuse some of those and repurpose those," Bobzien said of disappearing motels. These motel structures and signs still standing earlier this year are now gone. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5675d221cbced60a236e28b8/1524772554268-W4CFZ5GDWX26FI0GUF0J/RenovatedDowntown.jpg News and Features - A View from City Council and David Bobzien: "We're Going to Have Growing Pains" Bobzien welcomes new development and more businesses coming in, but does not deny these changes come with pressure points which need to be worked on, such as higher rents in new places and an affordable housing crisis for residents on fixed or lower incomes. http://www.ourtownreno.com/our-stories-1/2018/4/19/why-not-repurpose-rather-than-demolish-a-local-historian-and-a-realtor-speak-up monthly 0.5 2018-04-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5675d221cbced60a236e28b8/1524175472093-YBJKXCXIDQFMY2J70AJZ/AliciaBarber.jpg News and Features - Why not Repurpose rather than Demolish?

It's based on his own experiences growing up in the Biggest Little City. The book lives on, while the motels, which were the backdrop of his novel about brothers living on the margins, slowly disappear.

"Upon moving down here and residing in Reno I saw the need to be greater...I think more individuals should find a niche as to how anyone can volunteer and help in one way or another. I feel if more places would contribute the need would decrease with all the needy folks and help get them off the street," she said at a recent food pantry distribution on a Friday on 1095 East Taylor street. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5675d221cbced60a236e28b8/1519246047771-GW5ATJIRY7ELRZU235CO/IMG_5433+2.JPG News and Features - Mary, an 'Angel' Leading Local Volunteers to Distribute Food for Those in Need The pantry relies on outdated goods provided by local groceries.

"I was working at Safeway when I was still in a nursing profession and I realized how much food was being put into the dumpster and I had gone to the manager and asked if we could distribute some of this food to our senior center in Truckee. So, I started getting bakery outdated foods from Safeway and started taking it out to our seniors and distributing it out there in Truckee and as time grew so did the need and the need increased and word was out and people I knew referred me to the Safeway in Reno and I started picking up there. Through those donations, I met another couple who were doing some of the other grocery stores in town and they asked me to join them. As time progressed the stores kept giving us an abundance of food and we kept giving it away," she said. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5675d221cbced60a236e28b8/1519246169611-OD58FMOB370MLYHM0K5R/IMG_5458+2.JPG News and Features - Mary, an 'Angel' Leading Local Volunteers to Distribute Food for Those in Need "I truly feel if I can help one person, that one person can help more," McKnight said. "So, it’s about touching that one person to touch and help two more families.... I do it because it's not a job or responsibility, it’s the love. The homeless and needy are our other family," McKnight said. http://www.ourtownreno.com/our-stories-1/2018/2/9/anthony-trying-to-get-it-together-but-stuck-on-drugs monthly 0.5 2018-02-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5675d221cbced60a236e28b8/1518198952831-1T34YNLBV99O9TQSR1UH/IMG_5381.JPG News and Features - Anthony, 'Trying to Get it Together' but Stuck on Drugs Anthony, 19, a high school dropout from Sacramento, hooked on drugs, and trying to stay away from his family, says he’s been homeless for a year now in Reno.

So, when we come, we're like a family to them and I'm hugging people all night long. If they've got something on their mind or someone passed away or something they find out they have cancer or something that's happened to them they can come to me and they can tell me about it. And you know we pray about things together... It's about for them to know that genuinely the people come down here and leave their own families or their own warm homes. And most of them don't fix a meal for themselves that night because they're here instead. And they know that, they appreciate it. You know, we're here in the snow. We're here in the rain.

Should the Truckee River become an American Heritage River? From Wikipedia: American Heritage Rivers were designated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency in the 1990s to receive special attention (coordinating efforts of multiple governmental entities) to further three objectives: natural resource and environmental protection, economic revitalization, and historic and cultural preservation. The designation helps to ensure that communities can protect waterfronts and the rivers that run through them.

The focus of the event was the eight minute, 46 second meditation on what has been happening and generating compassion—caring coupled with wisdom—for all who suffer. Below is the text of that event.

An electrician and construction worker, he arrived in Reno from the Bay Area in the late 1960s, and says he got into a downward spiral of "bartending, coke and bad romances." He's now on Social Security, "a couple of bills shy of being broke already", but lives in an apartment, writes on a computer, engages in social media, and manages the therapeutic writing workshop. He is also battling cancer and had his eye removed earlier this year. Houris is a word traditionally associated with beings in Islamic mythology which is the title of this essay. "I always played around with writing and this group provided me with this opportunity," he says of VOICE (Voices Of Inspiration, Courage, and Empowerment). "It has opened me back to the world." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5675d221cbced60a236e28b8/1531154167701-F7AARBFPVYPAGHME4TBU/poppic.jpeg Our Citizen's Forum - "Houris" by Stephen "Pops" Popovich with VOICE A post Popovich recently posted on his Facebook feed.

I moved around a lot as a kid ... 12 schools in six years. I got kicked out of high school halfway through my freshman year, a couple of years in a Hippie Free School and I was done. I set out at 17 to kick the world’s ass and had mine handed to me. Tried a bit of college, Russian History of all things. Back in the real world, I worked a few construction trades, electronics and bartending. I was a pot dealer and a cocaine dealer in quantity. I lived hard and fast. It was a good life, I traveled and met people, good and bad. In my mid 30s I hit a wall, both emotionally and legally. I moved to Reno and got most of my vices back under control. In late 2002, I lost my job. By April of ‘03 I was on the streets. I lived a minimal life for almost 14 years. Soon after my 60th birthday, I got sick and sought help. I was lucky. I was saved by some truly amazing people. I’ve been with this writers group as therapy, through cancer and the loss of my eye. It’s made me a better person."

We think we don’t have solutions that we can grasp onto and support. But I want you to know that we do …. consensus-based housing communities is a completely viable option, putting property into community land trusts so it holds those properties out of the market so that they’re not being victim to market forces. These are things we can do in our community locally to help people in poverty.” http://www.ourtownreno.com/our-citizens-forum/2016/9/14/alese-mcmurtry-caring-for-people-already-in-reno monthly 0.5 2016-09-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5675d221cbced60a236e28b8/1473871783756-4Y63QZ3PUGNRDSR6WEEB/image-asset.jpeg Our Citizen's Forum - Alese McMurtry, Caring for People Already in Reno McMurtry (center) also worries about Reno's high poverty and unemployment rates.

Food Truck Friday, the quintessential summer outing in Reno, Perseveres Despite Inflation Challenges - Make it stand out Valentine Lovelace and Martin Gomez, the owners of Daddy’s Tacos in Reno, began their business in 2020 and have been attending Food Truck Friday as vendors for three seasons now. Over time, they say they’ve noticed a difference in the amount of patrons they typically serve at the event. “I remember when we first started doing this three seasons ago, we used to have a line of, like, five to ten people waiting before we opened to be the first ones to order,” Lovelace recalled. “The sales start at four o’clock. Now, the line doesn’t even start until six. Two hours with no people.

So it's really nice to have a scene of like-minded people, all sharing, diverse and different ideas and music genres, but all accepting them as valid and, you know, they're all respected. So it just feels good to be surrounded by people who may not necessarily have the same exact tastes and interests as you, but they're just as passionate as you are and a real friendship and community forms.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5675d221cbced60a236e28b8/1624503897894-QJPBRX5CT78EJ3CWED9Y/DSC04909.JPG Keep Reno Rad - A Listener Powered Station Against the Algorithmic World - Make it stand out Rash has words of advice on starting a new show. “The main thing I see when people get sick of doing their shows is they take on too much, too fast. So a lot of people come into the station and they want to do a really informative show where they interview a ton of people, but they don't really have the experience to know that hosting and editing interviews consistently on a weekly or even bi-weekly basis takes up more time than you necessarily want as a volunteer DJ position. So my advice would be to pick something that you're genuinely passionate about and maybe find a friend or two, that'd be happy to keep you motivated and maybe host the show with you because it's much easier to bounce ideas off each other and find topics to talk about each week and the motivation to come in each week.” http://www.ourtownreno.com/keeping-reno-rad/2021/4/9/behind-the-scenes-jewelry-making-with-nicole-king-a-photo-series monthly 0.5 2021-06-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5675d221cbced60a236e28b8/1617981857073-OPIKPCWF1FYLRDBSVICY/Nicole2+WithTapestry.jpeg Keep Reno Rad - Behind the Scenes: Jewelry Making with Nicole King, a Photo Series Nicole King, a local jeweler, shifted to working full time on her business (Instagram: @AdornmentbyNicole) during the pandemic.

Turns out though these were are all created by different artists, with different techniques and styles. The colors and geometric designs that all of the sections have made me look closer into each painting. I also find it interesting how all of the paintings include a body part of some kind.

Paying Homage to the Godfather of Graffiti in the Truckee Meadows The artist known as Easoe stands in front of this memorial piece, located on the north side of Davidson’s Distillery, which is currently being produced by the local TME Crew, to pay homage to Rakos, whom many view as a pioneer of the local graffiti scene. Rakos “was just an all around wonderful guy. A lot of people loved him,” Easoe said. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5675d221cbced60a236e28b8/1612306136946-BFEUQ0IJ9AFTSM0GY5FN/20210129-Graffiti-Easeo-BednarskiR-6002.jpg Keep Reno Rad - Paying Homage to the Godfather of Graffiti in the Truckee Meadows This particular piece is a tribute to Beau Rakos, who recently passed away.

She just liked people to be able to feel cute and she thought it was a big thing,” Marcoe said. “We realized that it did make a difference in these people's lives that she was touching.

Local officials we interviewed for this report cite a lack of resources, staff and volunteer help to eliminate weeds in other ways.

He explained how the Truckee River flows from its source in Lake Tahoe all the way to Pyramid Lake, providing a vital water supply to people living in the otherwise dried-up high desert region. When chemicals like glyphosate are sprayed on our parks, they can be swept into the river by rainfall; contaminating the residents of the greater Reno area’s water supply. Since the Truckee River connects so much of our region, the problem of a contaminated waterway, Dunmore explains, spans three municipalities, two states, several counties, and hundreds of thousands of residents including the Paiute people. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5675d221cbced60a236e28b8/1587057110992-RPBU1GIZR16IIQ17XRIS/Screen+Shot+2020-04-16+at+10.08.45+AM.png Keep Reno Rad - Robb Dunmore, Still Pursuing a Charge to Make Reno Pesticide Free A screengrab for the new Facebook group after disappointment set in with the city’s effort. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5675d221cbced60a236e28b8/1587057598709-3OF3RNVEEMRWKC8K3U96/image-asset.jpeg Keep Reno Rad - Robb Dunmore, Still Pursuing a Charge to Make Reno Pesticide Free Now, Dunmore and the Pesticide-Free Reno group say they have re-directed their mission. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5675d221cbced60a236e28b8/1587057882180-VFMXWSINGXSQFJ4Y4T30/PesticideParks_19.jpg Keep Reno Rad - Robb Dunmore, Still Pursuing a Charge to Make Reno Pesticide Free Dunmore says he finds more hope in the younger generation, and that even if the battle he is fighting for is long, he is confident his side will eventually prevail. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5675d221cbced60a236e28b8/1587058629925-RZP7805WQO5QN4RACCGM/PesticideParks_22.jpg Keep Reno Rad - Robb Dunmore, Still Pursuing a Charge to Make Reno Pesticide Free “The Parks Department is responsible for 87 parks, 19 school sites, 54 restrooms, 78 play structures and 34 miles of trail and 1,700 acres of open space,” Schroeder said. “We only have 35 people to do that and we're down to 22 people from the recession.

They’re the little boxes on the corners as you are driving around, the people get in there and control the traffic lights and what not. So, usually they’re just green or gray, and they get tagged a lot.... So, they will be painting 30, I’ll be painting one in May. Hopefully they don’t get tagged, first off, and then the other, hopefully people enjoy looking at them and it just adds, in my idea, if you’re driving past one on the way to work and it makes you smile a little bit, then it’s done what it’s supposed to do." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5675d221cbced60a236e28b8/1523054777205-N5BSQDQU6EV573DWZFKH/IMG_0722.JPG Keep Reno Rad - Muralism in Reno Grows As Part of the Biggest Little City's Downtown Cleanup Businesses also pay for muralists to decorate their walls in the downtown corridor. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5675d221cbced60a236e28b8/1523055263688-7JNBY3FR1BPI7X4ECAON/IMG_0749.JPG Keep Reno Rad - Muralism in Reno Grows As Part of the Biggest Little City's Downtown Cleanup Another mural from downtown Virginia street.

I don’t know if I necessarily see that in Reno, I mean, I might sell a painting, but it’s usually somebody that already knows me, not knows me, but knows my artwork, and they’ll reach out to me.

It’s always been the Wild West. You have good gun rights. You can go to a whorehouse if you want. You can smoke weed. The bars are open until five in the morning. I think that history has had a lot of negative impacts on the community but it’s also a reality the community has to face and realize we can’t cover up things by building new bars or the university expanding, by trying to polish without addressing the actual issue, which is the crime, the drug use, the prostitution, the all-around roughness of the city due to low income and addiction. That needs to be addressed more and it gets lost with people trying to build a new Tesla here and having a bunch of people coming over who can afford these higher priced homes, because they came from an area where wages were higher, so they had money saved up and it’s cheap for them, but then the locals here can’t afford their rents anymore because everything is going up. At the same time, income for locals isn’t going up," Santos said, explaining his art and his thought process on a changing Reno and some of its long time residents now feeling unwanted and left behind. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5675d221cbced60a236e28b8/1520103499115-CF3100IU56B1PNCEQCP1/IMG_0699.JPG Keep Reno Rad - Jarred Santos, Keeping Reno Grimey with his Art "I was born and raised here.

Walker is a founder of a Facebook group called Reno Painted Rocks dedicated to painting rocks with designs and hiding them in random spots across the city. Walker started the group in December 2016 after seeing a similar Facebook group called Whidbey Island Rocks based in Washington. “I think that painting or having an outlet does allow for stress relief. If I’ve had a rough day at work, I go in and I paint and I feel better,” Handrich-Walker said.
