Mizell might just as well have written “Oh, by the way, Jane is leaving.”
Managing Editor Mizell Stewart gave Jane Snow the ho-hum “goodbye” in the last three of 18 graphs of his Sunday column on page A3. Here they are:
“There’s a danger in naming names, though--highlighted on Friday when longtime food writer Jane Snow told me she’s planning to leave the newspaper.
“Jane is a nationally recognized food writer whose section was just named best in the country in newspapers with a circulation of less than 150,000 by the Association of Food Journalists. Her energy and dedication to the craft will be dearly missed.
“We’ll identify Jane’s replacement in the next several weeks.”
In the paragraph just before this he also noted:
“Bob Dyer will expand his repertoire beyond his weekly “Dyer Streets” column next month when he expands his unique perspective–and attitude–to other local topics”
Thought he had been doing that all along.
More good news for the blog guy came in a huge A1 first in a five-part series by Tracy Wheeler which reports the average life span in Summit County is 76.4 years. According to that I should have been dead two months ago. If I were African-American I would have been dead nine years ago at the age of 67.1. Don’t get your hopes up.

Jane Snow and Terry Pluto probably are the two most recognizable names for BJ readers. So the BJ offhandedly reveals that its national award-winning food writer is leaving. Maybe Jane will get to write her own farewell column, as others have done already.
We can only hope.
