Greetings From The Publisher

In our last issue I spoke about how proud I was of my daughter for bringing up the existence of the PRIDE Survey in our local school system, which in turn allowed us the opportunity to inform other parents.

In this issue she again surprises us with her talent and poise and earns the opportunity to share that with our readers, making this newspaper a true “family affair.”

When I loaned her a camera to take on a 4-H field trip to Montgomery, little did I know she would return with such excellent, artistic photographs!

Her efforts earned her this week’s cover photograph, and the lead story on Page 3 concerning Career Day at Lyeffion Junior High School. The photographs of that ceremony were taken by her mother, (and my wife) Debbie.

As a parent, it is a wonderful thing to see your 12-year-old daughter shine and show her talent at public speaking, photography and writing.

She has wanted to take an active roll in this newspaper for some time, however I always declined her participation based solely on nepotism. She is my daughter and I never wanted to place her work between these pages simply because I could.

But this time I felt I had no choice. She earned this opportunity - and once again her mother and I are proud of her for it!
