Meet a new Mudraker


Posted at 7:00 am by Debra Smith

Even reporters need vacations and I plan to take a long one – all of July.

Herald copy editor Jessi Loerch kindly agreed to take over the Mudraker blog while I’m away. Jessi’s thumb began to turn green after she and her husband Jerry purchased a house in North Everett.

She tends a delightful cottage-style garden and she recently added three chickens and a coop to her backyard. Yes, that’s right, she keeps laying hens, and you can too. I know she’s a born gardener because she told me she’s excited about the quantity of fertilizer her chickens produce.

Her other interests include organic gardening, growing veggies and eating locally.

As a copy editor, Jessi edits stories, designs pages and writes headlines. Basically, she does all the tough work and gets no byline. Enjoy getting to know her.

You can contact her directly with questions at jloerch@heraldnet.com or you can post a comment after an entry.

See you in August.
