When we launched the redesign of The Spokesman-Review on Monday we knew one thing: We would get some phone calls from people who were unhappy. Change is hard and we have come to expect a few complaints with every new design. So we were ready.

The biggest source of irritation was for something we had no part in, though, namely a decision by the features editor to drop the Jumble puzzle because the providing syndicate had said it was discontinuing the popular game. Not so fast, said Spokane readers! And they were right: Another company does provide the puzzle. With some fast action, it was in the next day's newspaper and editor Steve Smith explained what happened to readers in a front-page note. Crisis averted!

We're happy to report seeing no less than five people working the puzzle at the airport this morning on our way out of town!
