Proofs
Lately, the night desk has been finding several dayside proofs left for us over the weekend. This past Saturday, there were almost a dozen. I understand that with furloughs, people's job expectations have changed and expanded.
Beginning next week, there are 4 people scheduled every Friday on night desk. Please, whoever is proofing pages during the day Friday, continue to do so. If you are working on night desk on Friday night, please make sure that all proofs are looked at before you leave Friday, with 4 of us, it should be doable. It's just a bit much for 2 people to do on Saturday with the normal pages.
Basically, I'm asking that night desk copy editors make sure all day side proofs are edited and to Dan before Saturday. Make sure to check the round table. Thanks!

Double check addresses
I just had an important reminder about the need to confirm addresses. In Wednesday's restaurant review, Brokaw Corners address was listed as 17550 County Road W. Something in my gut said that address was wrong. After checking it out, it turns out the address is T7550 County Road W. T as in town of Texas.
As former Daily Herald managing editor Joel Christopher told me, "If your gut tells you something is wrong, trust your gut."
