Deveron Timberlake, the food & drink editor for the Richmond alt-weekly, is one of two local judges on an upcoming episode of Throwdown! With Bobby Flay, the Richmond Times-Dispatch reports. The Food Network show pits celebrity chef Bobby Flay against a local chef known for a regional speciality. The show arrived this week in Richmond for a ribs cookoff, where Flay challenged -- and lost to -- Buz Grossberg of Buz & Ned's Real Barbecue.
Fernando Loughlin, who left East Bay Express in 2005, has been charged with murdering his 3-month-old son, the San Francisco Chronicle reports. Loughlin claimed he accidentally dropped the child in a bathtub, but an autopsy determined that the boy's injuries could not have resulted from an accidental fall, according to authorities. Mila Marques, who formerly worked at the Express with Loughlin, says he left the Bay Area weekly in part to spend time with his older son. "He wouldn't have done it," she says. "(He) was the sweetest man on Earth."
Yesterday, Judge David Stockdale sentenced News Editor Greg Flannery and three other defendants to one day in jail. The defendants also received six months probation and were ordered to pay court costs and perform 20 hours of community service, Flannery writes on the CityBeat blog. The sentences were suspended pending appeal. The defendants were arrested last September when they conducted a sit-in at U.S. Rep. Steve Chabot's office to protest the Iraq War.
Sources tell Editor & Publisher that the alt-weekly's food writer, Jonathan Gold, is a finalist in Criticism, along with the Los Angeles Times' Christopher Knight and Mark Swed. Gold finished in first place for Food Writing in 2005's AltWeekly Awards, and placed second last year. Pulitzer winners will be announced April 16.
