2 Nevada Teens Say Cop's Son Has Been Sending Them Racially Charged Threats
By David Lohr / Huffington Post 9 January 2018
It's a great story and another public relations coup for Lyon County. However, the formerly fearless HuffPost woosed out on the incriminating photos which you may access in all their execrable glory hereinabove. Unjoy.

Reno-Sparks NAACP efforts result in 2 nominations among 7 finalists for Reno Gazette-Journal Citizen of the Year Award
By Editorial Page Editor Brett McGinness
Reno Gazette-Journal / Sunday 12-24-2017

Former four-time Reno-Sparks NAACP President Lonnie Feemster's tireless activism in the Yerington High School racism case has won local and national attention. Swope Middle School teacher Todd Bodensteiner had his students write to the abused Yerington teens who visited his Reno class. Mr. Bodensteiner is now a Citizen of the Year finalist as is the late Reno-Sparks NAACP Executive Committee Member Darryl Feemster, Sr. (1962-2017). He was nominated by Reno-Sparks Branch First Vice-President Andrew Barbano. The winner will be announced in the Sunday, December 31, 2017, Reno Gazette-Journal. Thanks to all involved with the Branch for their membership and involvement and for the support we have received both in Nevada and nationally. Keep up the good work and the good fight. — AB
