Today's word on journalism

Wednesday, December 5, 2007

Career advice:

"Coleridge was a drug addict. Poe was an alcoholic. Marlowe was stabbed by a man whom he was treacherously trying to stab. Pope took money to keep a woman's name out of a satire, then wrote a piece so that she could still be recognized anyhow. Chatterton killed himself. Byron was accused of incest. Do you still want to be a writer -- and if so, why?"

--Bennett Cerf (1898-1971), co-founder of Random House (Thanks to alert WORDster Tom McGuire)

No one hurt in accident at 4th North intersection

By Kelsey Koenen

November 8, 2007 | LOGAN -- A second car accident in 11 days at the intersection of 600 East and 400 North left two girls unharmed Tuesday. The crash happened at 6:25 p.m. causing over $1,000 in damages to both vehicles.

Rebecca Knighton, 23, was driving a white 2003 Hyundai Elantra and turned left prematurely onto 600 East when she was struck by Heather Williams. Williams, 19, in a 2005 blue Kia Rio was heading west through the intersection, according to the police report.

"I'm sure it was my fault," Knighton said. "I just didn't see her."

Logan City Police officer Jason Ostermiller was on the scene and issued Knighton a ticket for improper left turn.

Less than two weeks ago, pedestrian Guy A. Johnson was killed while crossing this intersection on foot.
