Captain's log... Row, row, row the boat...

We are having THE best time ever.

These girls. And Vic. Yes, someone busted our chops the other day because we have no boys on our staff. But we do have Vic and believe me he is more than happy to be the token male for this hilarious batch of girls.

It’s amazing how much is going on in our little town and how much more we could be covering. I think our paper for next week is almost full with stuff we had to hold and push out from this week that just didn’t fit in this edition. So exciting.

We did a push for the Business Directory this week and are adding a couple more businesses to that. We are hoping that it grows legs and becomes a great resource for the whole community. If you would like to add your business or service to the directory, contact Alicia at [email protected].

We also want to thank our new advertisers – SO much. Everyone thanks you, to be perfectly honest. Advertising is what is going to make this whole experiment work and we are beyond grateful to Desert Oasis Teff, Western Nevada College, Telegraph Coffee & Tap, and Community Chest of Nevada for coming on board and letting us help get their word out.

Mostly today I am grateful for this scrappy little staff and all the work and dedication they give to the paper. These girls (and Vic) are amazing, and it is so fun to watch them work, to pick up on the subtleties of all we’re doing, to watch them make connections and see what needs to be done next. I love that they’re at least a half a step ahead of me all the time and that they love this community and this paper like I do.

How lucky are we?!?

Keeping you posted,

Rachel

Rhett quote of the week: Sloan got an Alexa for her birthday and Rhett had the best time learning how that works – “Alexa, play music,” “Alexa, turn up the music,” “Alexa, make a cat sound.” At one point he couldn’t find Sloan and ran into her room hollering, “Alexa, where’s Sloan?”

I honestly can’t believe you are gone…..you were a wonderful human being, with a HUGE heart and soul. Hearing this makes my heart break! You are forever in our hearts, and I can say I feel blessed that I was able to know you! Rest easy sweet Farren xoxoComment publication date: 3/23/26, 12:30 PMComment source: Obituary- Farren CrosslandComment author: Tiffany LundleeComment text: I will miss you so very much Bryan.

Thank you Kelli Kelly.Comment publication date: 3/21/26, 8:12 AMComment source: In memorium -- The Melon ManComment author: Bob SondgrothComment text: There are times when you should just know about someone. Who and what they REALLY were. Because they were devotional and IMPORTANT to the humans they connected with. The content of their life bled so that others could feel their own life’s importance. Teachers of justifiable life and art. That all can absorb and use as the best fertilizer for THEIR lives. Giving the silent secrets and the loud guidance. The Melon Man was a perfect specimen for how to devote. His passing meant a life book of feeling/knowing what gives other humans their paths to Love and Knowledge. Some humans are meant to show others their paths. And in that they secrete ways to profitably exist.Comment publication date: 3/18/26, 4:50 PMComment source: In memorium -- The Melon Man
