If that job was such a good one, wouldn’t one of those guys still have it? We employ two of them full-time and another part-time at Muddy River News. Somebody should point out that there are currently five former newspaper sports editors living in Quincy.Claiming to be the number one source for news and sports online…for now…maybe…although I’m sure the folks in Nauvoo appreciated the game story on the BYU-UAB football game in Sunday’s edition (pour one out for Joseph Smith).However, the paper is still owned by a large corporation it’s just no longer local. Admitting that money from television has been propping you up for years is strikingly honest, and the statement deserves credit.I don’t know what “reflect the positive values of the majority” means, but ass-kissing boosterism isn’t cool, although there is a segment of Quincy’s audience that still needs this type of adoration.If your “number one priority” is four things, then I guess you don’t really have a “number one priority.”.A transition of new computer systems is to blame for the decline in the product’s quality and content? Next time I have a typo, I’m blaming my keyboard.A TV Book is still a thing? My TV screen seems to give me all the information I need these days.The letter from the publisher in the penultimate Sunday edition of the old paper of record was long on excuses and there were a few observations: If you’re not going to pay full-time people a decent wage to deliver your product, then this is the end result when your operation essentially hasn’t changed in 20 years, except for a massive reduction in staff and stagnation in wages and benefits. The decision to switch to mornings and mail delivery led to this inevitable conclusion, and I get it. What is a little shocking is The Quincy Herald-Whig decided to stop printing a Sunday edition. Pulling another day off the presses (while still charging the same amount for subscriptions) isn’t surprising. They won’t be available in Quincy on Sundays starting in 2022. Not only comments, but texts were like, “Do you know something?”Īs I explained on social media, I was referring to the fact that students (or anyone else) may not pick up a newspaper much longer because they won’t be available. My too-cute by-half-remark was taken by many friends that students would no longer be attending games because of another COVID crackdown in Illinois. I posted the following smart-ass comment on my personal Facebook page: “Students won’t be able to do this much longer.” It’s a traditional welcome for many student sections, reading a newspaper while acting unimpressed by the opposing team.Īs I watched, I figured it was the first time many of the students had touched a newspapers in months or years. Now, it seems, they are clairvoyant.ĭuring Saturday night’s Quincy High at Quincy Notre Dame basketball game, the QND student section broke out newspapers to pretend to read while the QHS starting lineup was announced. According to the Herald-Whig, it was unclear if Yohn would be transferred into IDOC custody prior to the start of the second trial.Student sections are usually creative and entertaining. A tentative trial date on the 2021 case has been set for July 10th. The next motion hearing will be June 14th and the final pretrial hearing will be June 30th. Judge Thomson said that Yohn’s request didn’t meet enough burden of proof and was denied. According to the Quincy Herald Whig, the motion was about a request for funds so Yohn could hire a private investigator to look into what Yohn has called “evidence tampering.” He then reportedly used force to enter the woman’s home and was alleged to have been carrying a knife.Īfter the sentencing, Judge Roger Thomson took the bench for a motion hearing stemming from the 2021 case. Yohn now awaits trial on two felony counts of home invasion, one count of aggravated kidnapping, one count of aggravated vehicular hijacking, one count of aggravated criminal sexual assault and one count of residential burglary after he allegedly used force or threat of force to take a vehicle and kidnap Christine “Tina” Schmitt on Nov. Lead trial attorney Josh Jones said during the brief trial that inmates are allowed to have paper copies of evidence in their cell. Correctional officers found the drives after a tip from another inmate reported that Yohn had the drives in his cell. Testimony in the case said that Yohn had hidden two thumb drives’ worth of evidence from his case for a November 2021 carjacking and sexual assault case in which he is currently representing himself.
