And it will be a shame to see them both go. David Mirhadi is doing his 2nd stint at the paper, having left to go to Wyoming and return again to Grass Valley. He is a talented writer, especially features. David can tell a story and paint a picture that puts you right there! He is awesome. And just about the nicest man you will ever meet. I just heard about an "act of kindness" he performed a couple weeks ago, from the surprised recipient. A class act, all the way.
The other reporter is Zuri Berry, who was hired for sports (his first love) and later moved into news when Laura Brown abruptly left a few months ago. Zuri has many talents, including his journalism skills. He is extremely adept at social media, and managed the paper's Web site with style and grace -- not an easy feat in the Wild West of the Internet. Zuri is young and ambitious and I think he will go far and we can say we knew him when he was starting out. He was hired by the Boston Globe (!) to produce sports for the Web.
If you see either of these gentlemen around town, thank them for their hard work and contributions to the community! They will be missed -- but not forgotten.
Two nice, kind and caring people. They will be missed!

It's David Mirhadi. What "act of kindness" are you talking about? I'm curious.
Thank you for mentioning me in your blog. I appreciate it.
