If you're reading this you are looking at our new Web site.

Our Webmaster, Jessica Goff, has been working on this new site for several weeks and she's still not done -- there's a lot more to come and we think you're going to enjoy it. The new site opens the door for us to offer you much more news, pictures and even videos. You can check the weather forecast, see live radar, view breaking national news stories and keep up-to-date about what's going on in this area.

And soon, you will be able to subscribe to our e-edition newspaper, order photos, submit articles and pictures and so much more.

It will take a while to get everything up and running smooth, but we encourage you to keep checking back to see the changes we are making.

I'm sure at times Jessica feels she is having to drag me (and a few other old timers) out of the dark ages and into the future. All this new technology is a little foreign to me, but I think it's going to be a great tool for keeping our communities informed.

So, keep checking ... here we go!
