Today's word on journalism

More from the Do-Gooder File:

"For much of his career, he could outthink, out-hustle, out-report, outeat, outdrink and outwork any other journalist in the country. But if his excesses were occasionally unbridled, they were driven by his passion to get a good story and root out the bad guys. ... He could get excited about an investigation of public corruption or a bizarre animal story. We once spent weeks following a story about a dog on 'death row' that Bob believed was 'innocent.'"

--Howard Schneider, former Newsday editor, on the death yesterday of Bob Greene, larger-than-life investigative reporter, editor and Pulitzer winner, April 10, 2008

Millville council seeks replacement for Pierson

By Leah Lopshire

March 24, 2008 | MILLVILLE -- The City Council will have a new job on its hands trying to replace Councilman Ryan Pierson. Mayor Michael Johnson read the resignation letter out loud, saying the cause for the resignation is "due to scheduling conflicts."

To solve this situation the board must find a replacement. The protocol for replacing Pierson is stated in the Utah Code 99, also read by Mayor Johnson. The code states, "A vacancy in a mayor or council office is filled by appointment of the city council." The code goes on to say that whomever fills the vacancy will stay there, "until January following the next municipal election," therefore, whoever is assigned will have to fill the spot for a year and nine months.

According to the code the council must post a notice to the public for two weeks before making a final decision. The mayor stated that "all those interested can apply for the position."

Anyone who is interested may turn an informal resume to Recorder Rose Mary Jones by April 12.
