If there's one person in which I can say I truly love and adore, (besides my Wife) it would be one of my dearest friends, Stacy Sakai. After 7 years of working with WMDT, Stacy has finally decided it's time to move on. Stacy will finally take some much deserved time off and relax for a few months before moving on to her next job.
Stacy is one of the most dedicated people I've ever seen in the business. If you only knew the amount of hours and days per week this young lady has put in over the years you'd be amazed.
One of the many fantastic stories Stacy covered was animal related. The series referencing Dr. Nolte probably touched more people than any other. Stacy Sakai is a lot like my Wife in the sense that animals have a very special place in their hearts and would do just about anything to rescue them and or be a voice the animals do not have.
Stacy was always a very welcome guest at the Salisbury Kennel Club Dog Shows at the Civic Center. She was like a little kid going from dog to dog wanting to pick them up, touch them and play with them. Not a good idea at a Dog Show, but hey, it was Stacy Sakai. Who was going to give her a hard time.
Volunteering was one of Stacy's most special gifts to the Eastern Shore. Whether is was Women Supporting Women or the Salvation Army as a Bell Ringer, Stacy never said no, ever.
One of Stacy's favorite pet projects was supporting Hal Chernoff and the Main Street Gym where Fernando Guerrero calls his home and Hal his Dad. Many people do not realize all of the good that Hal and Nancy Chernoff offer to the Salisbury community and especially those kids who need a place to go. Stacy immediately picked up on their unconditional love to these children and gave everything she had to give back wherever she could.
Other major stories that touched Stacy deeply was the Brooke Mulford story, young Kara Adams from Delmar and of course Sarah Foxwell.
Look, Stacy is a very special young lady and while I'd like to selfishly do whatever I can to keep her here, Stacy needs to move on and expand her professional career by moving onward and upward. One thing is for sure, I/We will miss her dearly but more importantly I want to say, THANK YOU!
Stacy Sakai will say goodbye to WMDT and their viewers next Thursday the 16th of December.
Thanks for the memories and the "BFF" friendship, as she likes to say.

DAWN STEVE JED
I am deeply grateful to Stacy for the excellent investigative reporting she has done about Nightmare Nolte and for exposing the bigger story -- the Do-Nothing Maryland Veterinary Board who let horrible vets like Nolte practice, quite literally, for years in spite of a horrific track record of death and destruction and broken hearts.
I can't believe some of the nasty stuff I have read online directed toward her. Sounds like people really still can't stand a beautiful woman who is also intelligent and refuses to play dumb with the powers that be. Stacy has done an incredible public service for pet owners and the local area.
I hope she stays interested in this issue because sadly, it's not confined to the local area. Bad vets and the Boards that coddle and license them are all over the United States.
I know with a heart like Stacy's, she will succeed in a big way. I expect to see her on national primetime in the next decade.
I was sad to see her go. Where is she moving on to? Best of luck!
