If this organization, and Bill, has a failing, it is the lack of desire to "toot our own horn" on behind-the-scenes accomplishments...

Simple solution: stay the heck off I-70
(Column ~ 08/26/11)
One of my favorite all-time newspaper-related movie dramas is the fairly obscure 1959 film "-30-" starring Jack Webb and a relatively skinny, pre-"Cannon" William Conrad. It is just so overly dramatic, and like all TV and film portrayals of the newspaper business, a little off-base in depicting the power of the press...

Coroner's extra work exhausts dept.'s budget
(Local News ~ 08/26/11)
Even as budget belt-tightening is the problem on the mind of every county official, one Putnam County department has no control over its caseload and, therefore, little control of its expenses. In an average year the Putnam County Coroner's Office handles a little more than 40 cases. Having already reached that number in late August, there will be a lot of budget juggling and, very likely, some additional appropriations for the coroner's office in the coming months...
