The ransom was paid and the long awaited February clip results have been released. Not wanting to hold up the process any further we will update the point totals on the Web site as soon as possible.
Tom Dodge of The Dispatch probably didn’t mind the wait as he picked up five wins in February taking 1st and 2nd in general news, 3rd in feature and 2nd in portrait and sports. Two hundred points is a good year for some people, he did it in one month.
