VerifiedNewspaper
The Record-Courier is a three times a week newspaper located in Gardnerville, Nevada. It has its origins in The Carson Valley News founded in Genoa, Nevada, in 1875 by A.C. Pratt. The newspaper was renamed The Genoa Courier in 1880 and merged that year with The Genoa Journal. It merged with The Gardnerville Record in 1904 to form The Record-Courier. It is one of the oldest continuously published nameplates in Nevada. It was purchased by Swift Communications in 1988. The Record-Courier covers Carson Valley, located in Douglas County, Alpine County (California), and Mono County (California) in the eastern Sierra Nevada. An original woodcut of the Carson Range as it rises above Carson Valley produced by syndicated cartoonist Lew Hymers in 1928 appears in the banner. Source

Genoa, Nev. — The clouds are so tired from last night’s party that they’re lying in the middle of Carson Valley. A fairly thick fog bank is reducing visibility on Highway 395, but it should burn off pretty quickly in the sun. A trio of .4-inch rain readings make a triangle with a corner in Genoa, another in Heavenly Valley and the third at Skyland showing the brunt of the storm passing north along the Carson Range on Monday.

Shakespeare Ranch back on market for $125 million
One of Lake Tahoe’s most exclusive properties, Glenbrook’s Shakespeare Ranch, is back on the market for $125 million, sans three parcels that were included in a prior listing. Included in the listing are the 7,713-square-foot ranch house currently under construction, the entertainment barn and the lakefront cabana. If it sells for the asking price, it would be among the largest Lake Tahoe transactions ever recorded and one of the highest-priced private estate listings in Nevada history.

Tow trucks are on scene of a semi-truck rollover in the northbound lanes of Highway 395 at the Junction with Highway 50. It’s the second time a semi has rolled over at the intersection in two weeks. Those lanes have been closed since just before 10 a.m., according to the Nevada Department of Transportation. Carson City Sheriff Kenny Furlong said a truck came down the hill too fast on Highway 50 and tried to turn left onto Carson Street. The semi landed near the eagle sculpture.
Santoro: Forget the FCS part, Montana State is season’s best game at Mackay
Sports Fodder: The most interesting and likely most entertaining home game at Mackay Stadium on this season's Nevada Wolf Pack football schedule? That's easy. And it's not even close. Montana State. Stop laughing. If you can only find time to go to one football game at Mackay Stadium this fall, do yourself a favor and go watch the Bobcats and Wolf Pack on Sept. 12. Yes, we get it.

Genoa, Nev. — The 6,436-acre Elephant Fire burning near Loyalton is causing moderate air quality in the Gardnerville Ranchos. Looks like last night’s wind pushed the smoke up against the Pine Nuts. Firefighters have a line around 5 percent of it and hope to have it contained by July 22. Authorities responded to a report of a man found deceased in a vehicle around 5:15 p.m. Sunday on Highway 50 very near the Carson-Douglas line.
No poll? No problem. Here's how Nevada, UNLV, and the rest will fare in rebuilt Mountain West
In a below-the-radar announcement earlier this summer, the Mountain West said it would not be conducting its usual preseason football poll. The poll, which had been around since the conference split from the WAC in 1999, was a standard one-man, one-vote tabulation from outlets which covered the MW on a regular basis. It was pretty standard stuff, other than Boise State finishing on top basically every year (the Broncos led the polling for the last 15 seasons).
