Kudos to paper for capturing awards

Congratulations to the Review-Journal and three of its journalists who recently received honors in the Best of the West journalism competition.

Rachel Aston won an award for her video story telling. George Riggle’s award was for headline writing. And graphic artist Sev Galvan’s award was for graphic illustration — for work with the Denver Post the past year, just before coming to the R-J.

Review-Journal Managing Editor Glenn Cook said, “This recognition is reflective of the top-notch work we’re doing across the newsroom. We’re very proud of Rachel, George and Sev.” A judge from The New York Times praised Mr. Riggle’s headline writing, And another judge gave kudos to Mr. Galvan for his innovative graphics.

The continuing creativity and excellent journalism of the Review-Journal is praiseworthy and inspiring. Accordingly we Las Vegans and Nevadans can be proud we have the top, largest newspaper in the state. And one of the top newspapers in the country.

Listen to the evidence that will be presented at Donald Trump’s trials before reaching any conclusions. And remember that those giving the most damning testimony will likely be Republicans.

LETTER: Why does Las Vegas keep building houses?

How can we ask the federal government for additional funds to fight the drought when we keep pulling billions of gallons of water out of the Colorado River, which feeds Lake Mead?

LETTER: Highways will go the way of the horse and buggy

I personally can’t wait to give up the soporific scenery, racetrack-like mentality and beautiful Baker bathroom stops of the Interstate 15 car commute in favor of a sleek, smooth train.
