Re: “Obituary: Janet Makaris, 1952-2018”
I am very sorry to learn of Janet's passing. She made our wedding cake when Ken and I got married in 1992 -- carrot cake with a cream cheese frosting in a delicate basketweave pattern. Godspeed, Janet!

Re: “Police Dog Mojo Sniffs Out Hidden Electronic Devices — and Illegal Porn”
I guess we will have to add to Potter Stewart's famous statement, "I know it when I see it," another one relating to porn: "I know it when I smell it!" Great story.

Re: “Democratic Candidates for Governor Play Nice at Forum”
And Keith Stern apparently doesn't know that the office of Lieutenant Governor is established by the Vermont Constitution (he included the lieutenant governor along with deputy secretaries and deputy commissions when asked what state jobs he would cut.) Surprised no one asked why he won't release his tax returns...

Re: “Media Note: WCAX Lays Off Six Employees”
Very sorry to hear about this! It's going to be hard to be "first" with late-breaking news if you have to worry about cameras as well! I remember when Catherine Hughes single-handedly represented WCAX's Rutland Bureau (I used to be a reporter for the Rutland Herald in a previous life) and being awed not only by her journalistic abilities but also by the fact that she set up her own camera and filmed all her own footage.

Re: “Media Note: Pennsylvania Chain to Buy Rutland Herald, Times Argus”
If the new owners don't reinvest in the newsroom, the papers will shrivel up and disappear.

Re: “Media Note: State Declines to Prosecute DUI Chronicled by Valley News”
It appears the guy was too tired to drive. Give him a lecture, send him to CRASH, or maybe even diversion. Hopefully he will be more careful from now on.
