Troy Marvin Creeks, who is accused of trading the use of a 2004 Honda for naked videos of a 17-year-old girl is scheduled to appear in East Fork Justice Court this morning. Creeks is facing a charge of using a minor in a pornographic production, which is a category A felony and carries a potential penalty of life in prison with a possibility of parole after five years and a fine of up to $100,000. As Justice of the Peace Jim EnEarl said to him last week, "The charges you're facing are serious."
It's New Year's Eve, which means lots of folks are closing early, including the offices of The Record-Courier. Those of us putting Friday's edition to bed will still be in the back, so if you're trying to contact us try using my extension of 215.
Speaking of early, California's opening day is Thursday, but there are some new rules, according to outdoors reporter Don Quilici. The new 2009 fishing license is $110.80 for the season or $13.40 a day. Fishing licenses have to be displayed above the waist, where the game warden can see it. Nevada fishing licenses are still good through February.
The party's at Stateline, but it might be a good night to stay home. There'll be plenty of folks out on the roads and getting into trouble. As former Sheriff's Sgt. Larry Coy once asked me, "are you part of the problem or part of the solution?"
We could see a little rain on Friday and a little snow on the weekend. The high temperature today might be somewhere near where its supposed to be, in the high 40s. The low tonight will be a balmy 27 degrees.
