    Today's story covered by a staffer was a Minor League (looks like 11-12 year olds) softball game between the Lime Green and Red teams that ended in a 13-13 tie. That should answer any questions about how they cover youth sports.

    I doubt there is much else going on this time of year in terms of sports, so I guess it gives them something to do. I'd probably rather be out of the office covering Little League (and I have before for a much larger paper) than do some of the other stupid tasks that could be assigned just to stay busy in the summer.

    I saw the paper when I stopped in Ashland on the way to Columbus a couple weekends ago. The entire front page of the sports section was devoted to local stuff. I don't even remember seeing a Cleveland Indians story on there.

    I just think they're holding out for Jones.

    Yes, this job was re-opened from the second vacancy, but not the first...they filled a sports writer position in June, but then lost another in late August and are still looking for a replacement. Gotta be tough to be down a man during fall sports...

    No, they never lost anyone in late August. They simply never filled it.

    boxand1,

    That is 100% incorrect. They lost Dusty Sloan, who had been there for 15 years in some capacity, in late August...his last night was the season opener for high school football. He's now free-lancing in the Columbus area for This Week Newspapers.
