We believe that a community without a local newspaper is like a two-legged stool. The third leg, a vibrant source of independent news, is a must for an effective, functioning democracy.
With that in mind a panel of contributors has stepped forward who generously devote their time to generating material on a wide variety of subject matters to better reflect the breadth and diversity of the community. Our objective is to offer something for everyone. Through our staff writers we attempt to cover as fully as possible all relevant municipal board meetings as well as those of the School Board.
This newspaper belongs to the community and aspires to be part of it. It will be as successful as you want it to be. News items, photographs, and reports of activities will be published in a timely way provided there is space available.
Finally, a line or two on our philosophy. The principles underlying our approach can be encapsulated by three qualities: Independence, Integrity, and Service. Independence is no stranger to us - it is a defining American principle. Integrity is a vital quality; reportage must bear the hallmark of truth and reflect honesty and balance. Last but not least, Service. This is a much misunderstood term - service is not servitude. It involves the action of giving, of responding to the need of the moment.
