twitterFLASHPOINT for May 18, 2007
Friday, May 18, 2007 | 7:22 a.m.
The School District regularly sends blast e-mails to various media types and others announcing items of interest about the organization. But rarely do you see one such as the missive that went out Thursday about my former colleague, Kevin Janison, the weatherman turned author. Indeed, Janison has penned a children's book called - I am not kidding - "Deputy Dorkface." The district promotes Janison's book, touts his weatherman national award and, oh yes, mentions his wife's job: She is a School District trustee. And Mr. Janison is doing a book reading at a local school and is getting publicity from the district that his wife helps oversee. I guess I shouldn't suggest this is a strange use of district resources. I am probably just a dorkface.
