Good morning. I'm David Greene. I try not to be too cheesy, but this mystery in Britain has got to be solved. According to The Guardian, Wyke Farms had won a popular cheese competition. Two of their fine cheddars took first and second place. The 45-pound blocks of cheese were being stored in a tent overnight ready to go on display, and someone ran off with them.

The cheesemaker says these cheddars were masterpieces. Someone really needs to tell the culprit, this is nacho cheese (ph). You're listening to MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Federal funding is gone.

Congress has eliminated all funding for public media.

That means $2.1 million per year that Connecticut Public relied on to deliver you news, information, and entertainment programs you enjoyed is gone.

The future of public media is in your hands.

All donations are appreciated, but we ask in this moment you consider starting a monthly gift as a Sustainer to help replace what’s been lost.
