LAS VEGAS - The managing editor of the Las Vegas Sun says he'll retire next month.
Michael J. Kelley said Wednesday he plans to split time between his hometown of Kansas City, Mo., and Maryland, where his daughter and two grandchildren live.
Kelley is 67. He started in newspapers in 1960 and has been managing editor at the Sun since 1997.
In April, the Sun won the Pulitzer Prize for public service for stories about construction safety and worker deaths at resort projects in Las Vegas.
Kelley says he told Sun President and Editor Brian Greenspun last summer that he planned to retire. He notified his staff Tuesday.
The Greenspun Media Group owns the Sun.
Just as Lawrence Kazmerski, a top official at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, was about to give the keynote address at the University of Minnesota's annual E3 conference at the RiverCentre in St. Paul, the lights went out, bathing the audience in darkness and a deep sense of irony.
