At its August 9 regular meeting, Lake Arrowhead Community Services District (LACSD) heard from experts on recycled water about their interest in conducting a study using Lake Arrowhead to “evaluate approaches to determine mixing and assimilation of recycled water.”

Cedric Cormier seemed to always be in the stands for the most important high school basketball game of the night. Every time I stepped into a gym, he was already there. He had just moved to Las Vegas to join the UNLV football coaching staff. I assumed the wide receiver coach was attending games as part of his recruiting elevation process because the Rebels had signed a prospect who also played basketball.

There is a memorable episode in the now-classic sitcom Scrubs in which the conniving Dr. Kelso unveils a plan to peddle useless “full body scans” as a new revenue stream for the perpetually cash-strapped Sacred Heart Hospital. The irascible but ultimately patient-protecting Dr. Cox objects loudly. “I think showing perfectly healthy people every harmless imperfection in their body just to scare them into taking invasive and often pointless tests is an unholy sin,” he says.

For Carte, who was 20 years old at the time, moving to the Biggest Little City from San Jose, Calif., represented an exciting and crucial juncture in her life. “I moved to Reno to grow up and be an adult,” Carte said. The year 2002 had its fair share of memorable moments. That same year, “Star Wars: Episode II” debuted in theaters, Tiger Woods won the 66th Masters Tournament and “American Idol” premiered on television.

Senator Dean Heller’s position on health care reform—he’s against it after having been for it while he was against it—has become a contortionist act worthy of the Circus Circus big top or Absinthe tent.
