"Danny Skuhrovec loves the water so much he sometimes wishes he was born a fish.
"It would have been nice," said the 26-year-old, who flew from Ocala, Fla., to Reno on Friday for the second annual Reno River Festival at Wingfield Park.
Unlike other spectators, he didn't just watch from the shores of the Truckee River.
He rented a kayak and paddled along the river to test the whitewater park's course and watched parts of the Pro Festival Invitational Competition in amazement.
"Normally I flip and flop over, I haven't gotten the flip totally yet," said Skuhrovec, who loves all kinds of water sports."

"Following are excerpts from the funeral homily
for Pope John Paul, read by Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger. He read it in Italian
and the Vatican provided an official English translation.
. As a young student Karol Wojtyla was
thrilled by literature, the theatre and poetry. Working in a chemical plant,
surrounded and threatened by the Nazi terror, he heard the voice of the
Lord: Follow me! In this extraordinary setting he began to read books of
philosophy and theology, and then entered the clandestine seminary
established by Cardinal Sapieha (a Polish cardinal during World War Two).
Follow me!"

Missoulian: More traffic at access sites has FWP is asking others to help develop, maintain sites -

""But when you step back and look at the type of use going on at fishing access sites," Bastian says, "these sites are attracting more than just fishermen. You've got people swimming, sunbathing, picnicking, bird watching, hiking. They're a place to take your dog for a run. A place to just get wet on a hot July afternoon.
"Stop at any one of these accesses in July and August, and you see a lot more of that kind of use, more so than angling. So they're starting to serve a real dual function. You see a lot more people who are into canoeing, kayaking, inner-tubing, just wanting to be on the water to enjoy it."
