Story from KSNV NBC Las Vegas — The College of Southern Nevada (CSN) has received a generous donation from Ken Goodrich, chairman of Goettl Air Conditioning & Plumbing. Goodrich donated a 1978 Chevrolet Corvette, which he recently acquired at the Barrett-Jackson auction in Las Vegas, to CSN’s Department of Applied Technologies.
This classic Corvette will serve as a hands-on restoration project for students, providing invaluable real-world experience. Upon completion, the restored vehicle will be sold at a future Barrett-Jackson auction, with the proceeds directly benefiting the college.
“I’ve always been a champion for the trades,” Goodrich stated, highlighting his commitment to supporting higher education and vocational training.
This donation not only fuels student learning but also reinforces the importance of skilled trades in today’s workforce.

The suspect, identified as 33-year-old Ravesh Rabindranauth, signaled for Solano to open the door, but Solano replied, “No, you can’t get out. We’re calling the cops.”
According to reports, Rabindranauth was unable to exit the car due to its “unconventional door mechanism.” Eventually, he was freed and promptly arrested by the authorities.
Rabindranauth was charged with burglary of [...]
