Reader support matters more than ever
We're in the final stretch of our summer campaign. Our goal is to raise $15,000 by August 9 to support the journalism our community relies on. Reader support is helping shape the future of local news.

You see, the one and only Stephen J. Hawking will speak at Gammage Auditorium. Hawking, author of A Brief History of Time and a genius who has contributed unparallelled knowledge in the fields of cosmology and black-hole theory, headlines the all-day public Symposium, which concludes with Hawking’s gift of gab in the evening.
The open-to-the-public think tank will feature 70 of the greatest scientific minds discussing the origins of everything. Other participants include Hugh Downs, Ann Druyan, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Richard Dawkins, and Donald Johanson. National Public Radio’s Ira Flatow moderates the “Nobel Panel.”
