Editor Jim Bellows Dies

In his 2002 memoir, editor Jim Bellows wrote, “I am never happier than when someone hands me a newspaper that is either not very good or in deep financial trouble.” And those who worked with him over three decades spent in the newsroom understood just how much a staff could benefit from his guidance.
