1. Here comes the sun

In this photo provided by the Hargesheimer family, First Lt. Fred Hargesheimer, right, was photographed in late 1943 or early 1944 at a secret Australian commando camp on Japanese-occupied New Britain island, Papua New Guinea, in the southwest Pacific, with Australian Wing Commander William Townsend. Their planes had been shot down, and Hargesheimer was rescued and sheltered by islanders. In gratitude, he returned years later to build schools, libraries and a clinic for them. It was "a debt I had to try to repay," he says. (AP Photo/Hargesheimer family)

Our newsroom occasionally reports stories under a byline of "staff." Often, the "staff" byline is used when rewriting basic news briefs that originate from official sources, such as a city press release about a road closure, and which require little or no reporting. At times, this byline is used when a news story includes numerous authors or when the story is formed by aggregating previously reported news from various sources. If outside sources are used, it is noted within the story.
