Genoa, Nev. — The cutoff for submissions for the Sept. 4 edition of The Record-Courier is noon today. While making that deadline is necessary, it might not be sufficient to get into print. We’re working on most of the paper Friday because of the Labor Day holiday.
I visited with candy makers in Genoa on Wednesday in preparation for The R-C’s annual Candy Dance preview, which I’m publishing Saturday. I checked the tickets web site at genoanevada.org for the Sept. 28 dance and there was one whole seat left to fill.
Saturday’s story will mark 100 years since the first time the words Candy Dance appeared in The Record-Courier. In a 2019 story marking the event’s centennial, Town Historian Billie Jean Rightmire told former R-C People Editor Joyce Hollister that it wasn’t until around 1923 that the name stuck.
An alarm pull resulted in the evacuation of Carson Valley Middle School around 2 p.m. Wednesday. Students were released to the buses and parents, since it was around time school let out.
Former Clark County Public Administrator Robert Telles was convicted of the 2022 murder of Review-Journal Investigative reporter Jeff German on Wednesday. A few hours later, the jury returned a sentence of 20 year to life for the stabbing, according to the R-J.
The weather is pretty much a cut-and-paste from Wednesday with sunny skies and a breeze out of the north at 5 mph this afternoon. There isn’t much change in the forecast until Labor Day.
