| Paterson Mayor Jeffery Jones is back in the news today, and it has nothing to do with the odd spelling of his first name. Recent stories about Jones in The Record have been supplied by Paterson Press, an online news site that has a content-sharing agreement with North Jersey Media Group, owner of the Woodland Park daily. |
Today's front page from Editor Marty Gottlieb of The Record is about as dull as you can get, with stories or photos about Leonia, real estate, Paterson Mayor Jeffery Jones, Governor Christie and talks with the Taliban.
How's that for balanced boredom? What was left unsaid?
The colorful main photo shows minority children from the Bergen Family Center entering a 75-foot-tall hot-air balloon "inflated on its side and secured to the ground Tuesday at Mackay Park in Englewood."
The preschool children weren't allowed to go up in the balloon lest they get a bird's-eye view of the city's stark racial and income divisions or a glimpse of Chairman Malcolm A. "Mac" Borg's East Hill mansion.
Prostate report
Today's Road Warrior column on the number of bathrooms along Route 80 in New Jersey is based on an e-mail complaint from a reader with prostate problems (L-1).
Don't count on any accurate bathroom-location information from Staff Writer John Cichowski, whose recent list of gas stations supplying free compressed air was riddled with errors.
You can find an updated and corrected list of gas stations -- compiled by a concerned reader -- on the Facebook page for Road Warrior Bloopers:

No heavy lifting
Esther Davidowitz, the new food editor, seems intent on following the example of the lazy woman she replaced, Susan Leigh Sherrill.
Food coverage in today's Better Living amounts to little more than three recipes -- one from a food blogger and two from outside news organizations (BL-2).
I got a good laugh at how the "IN THE KITCHEN" cover piece on pickles was laid out next to the story on the unpleasantly sour Don Rickles, the comedian who, at 87, appears pickled.
