URGENT UPDATE: The Rolette Record has officially been sold to Roy B. Miller and Gene Farley, two prominent figures from Cando, marking a significant shift in local media. This sale was confirmed today, November 30, 1929, by the group of farmers who previously owned the weekly publication.
Miller, who is also the owner and editor of the Cando Record, brings years of experience to the table. Farley has worked alongside Miller for the past five years as a linotype operator and will now step up as the editor of the Rolette Record. This transition is poised to shape the future of local journalism in the region.
The previous managing editor, E. W. Dickinson, will exit the paper following this transfer of ownership. His future plans have not yet been disclosed, leaving many in the community curious about the changes ahead.
The Rolette Record has been a staple in the community for over 25 years, originally established by Charles W. Sibley. Under its new leadership, the publication will maintain its independent political stance, a commitment that the new owners emphasized during the announcement.
The very first issue under the new management is set to be published next week, with Joseph Lemieux stepping in as Farley’s assistant. This change is generating buzz among local readers eager to see the direction the paper will take.
In what is a pivotal moment for local journalism, the community of Rolette awaits the upcoming issue, which promises to deliver fresh content and a renewed vision. Residents are encouraged to support the new team as they navigate this transition.
Stay tuned for further updates as this story develops and the impact of this sale unfolds in the coming days.
