the end of week one and the start of week two
Friday: the day was slow. i did a rewrite on a salvation army camp in the area and finished the free trip to israel story. then i spent the afternoon researching the rev. graham locking, from newmarket, suffolk, england, who was in town speaking at a methodist church in howland. i set up an interview time with him on monday.
Monday: started the day at HUM interviewing the reverend from Britain. he's the first chaplain to the horse racing industry in the UK. in the afternoon i went to poland village town hall to look at some canes that belonged to president mckinley that are being moved from the hall to the library. the history is quite unclear. made some more inquiries into the boardman vietnam veterans plaque and found one father. that leaves four unknown relatives.
Tuesday: the chaplain story was my first byline and it appeared on B1. wrote the boardman vietnam story. i've got some really good anecdotes for it. there are now three unknown relatives. started writing the cane story. made some more phone calls, but didn't get anywhere. i spent a long time researching the history of the wood that the canes came from. wrote a rewrite about relay for life. began a second rewrite on a police camp for 12-15 year olds.

Almost finished with week one
Essentially, I'm going to use this to keep track of what I do at work. I may write about other things. It may all depend on what I feel like and how much time I have. I should update daily so that I remember what things I did at work.
Monday:
Went on Boardman and Poland rounds with Denise. Learned the ranks. Wrote a brief about a woman who stole $10,000 worth of jewelry from J.C. Penney. Started a story on Boardman's Memorial Day parade.
Tuesday:
Went to Poland for rounds. Returned to newsroom and drove Angie to St. E's in Austintown to talk to the police officer who was shot. Finished the parade story. Started a story on watershed.
Wednesday:
Made the entire rounds trip with no interruptions. Lots of crime in Boardman. Wrote three briefs and two were printed. Those printed were on a Molotov cocktail and drug possesion and trafficking. Worked on the watershed story. Started a story on some area teens going on a free trip to Israel.
Thursday:
Interviewed someone for the Israel story. Went on rounds by myself. Talked to my second source for the Israel story. Wrote a brief which turned into a story about a guy jumping at a school bus window, inducing panic. Then spent lots of time working on a story about a government official not paying for his chicken wings, solely based on some confusion about store names and locations. Stayed an hour and a half longer than I was supposed to.
So that's up to now. I'll check in again tomorrow.
