Veteran journalist joins N-R as managing editor
Longtime journalist Kirby Neumann-Rea has joined the News-Register newsroom as managing editor, coming from the Columbia Gorge News. He served as editor of the Hood River News for more than 20 years.
Neumann-Rea has worked in newspapers since graduating from Linfield College in 1980, and said he’s always appreciated McMinnville and hoped to return one day. He replaces former Managing Editor Jodie DeJonge, who left in October to accept a position with the Seattle Times, heading the metro division. Ossie Bladine, who managed the newsroom before and after DeJonge, is returning to focus on company business operations.

We never saw 2020 coming. When Happy Ned Year 2019 hit the paper a year ago, I sure did not foresee that the next year would so vigorously reframe the very essence of this now 20-year-old column: To celebrate the strange and unexpected, and obscure stuff either unearthed or made up.
So here again goes Happy Ned Year, your annual random scrum of crumbs swept from the tattered tablecloth of 2020.
(Was the cocktail year 2020 not the perfect time for mixing metaphors?)
And, Happy 2021; our sense of optimism gives new meaning to the phrase âa new ring.â
Itâs amazing: I Googled, and could not find, any play on the word toxin as âtalk sin.â Not even from the lips of some super-spreader church pastor.
