A Veteran Newspaper Woman’s Farewell to the Times

What an incredible quarter century I have spent working for these community newspapers.  Twenty five years spent learning, teaching and contributing to producing your local newspaper.  I had several mentors over the years, who each had many more years here than I have racked up.  They taught me so much about each department, how it works and how they all fit together.

Craving sweet and salty? Try bacon and chocolate

For many of a specific age and older, we vividly picture the scene of two individuals: one eating a chocolate bar and one eating peanut butter from a jar. Upon colliding, one exclaims, “You got your peanut butter in my chocolate,” while the other instantly replies, “No, you got your chocolate in my peanut butter.” Advertisers would lead us to believe that this happy accident is what inspired the creation of the peanut butter cup. It would come as no surprise that many years later, another two equally favorite, but unconventionally paired items would come together: Chocolate and bacon!
