From the Editor's Computer
Time flies when you’re having fun!
That saying is certainly true because I
can’t believe how fast time has flown by...it has been four years since I took
over entertaining you twice a month with a little newspaper called The Chautauqua.
During the past four years I’ve managed to
put out a paper, when I’m supposed to, despite numerous challenges, including
technological malfunctions, crazy schedules, and other major and minor
headaches and glitches along the way.
As well, during the past four years, the
newspaper has undergone a few changes - layout, number of pages, readership,
area covered. The most recent change
being this month with the change in layout.
I’ve had the opportunity to share with you
the many and varied achievements and accomplishments of both individuals and
communities. We’ve rejoiced and
celebrated together lots of good times.
We’ve also shared in the sorrow of local
tragedies and loss. Our thoughts and
prayers are with the Hawksworth family on their recent loss and Atkinson
family.
Nothing stays the same. Seasons come and go. Life goes on.
We have a choice to continue to grow and improve ourselves, or
stagnate.
As I enter this new year of providing the
residents of the various communities I serve, I look forward to sharing more of
the changes and challenges ahead - both good and bad - with you all. Sorrow shared is halved, and joy shared is
doubled.
