National Newspaper week is from Oct. 6 until Oct. 13.

The skeptics out there thought we were all washed up. I have news for the doubtful bunch. We are still strong and getting stronger and this is a report from the National Newspaper Association. We may fold but only when you purchase us and leave with your newspaper under your arm. I’ve said it before and I will say it again, “A house is not a home without a newspaper in it.”

Yes, my friends, we are alive and well.

I have a message for the Facebook, YouTube and the IPhone Boys. You are wasting your time trying to replace the newspaper. Why not spend your time trying to replace toilet paper. Let us know when you wipe that out.
