Something to Say
by Susan White e
Thefir5t-year,
Ws, gone &ready
The. first year is the worst.
That's what some people say
about marriage and that's what
we are inclined to say about
editing a weekly newspaper.
This column marks a year since
. we took on the job. There were
times when we said, '"whew, let's
get out of here)',' But there were
also times when everything came
together well, the pages .looked„
good, the stories all got written
and the produttibn was on
schedule.
The high points would have to
be the centengial editions...once
' they were finislied'and out of our
' hands. The 'all time 1975 IoW
would either be the time we put
the July date on the October
paper ("we're trying to make you
think summer," alibied Carol in,
the- front office.) or the time we
• sent only 15 pages of a 16 page
paper up to tioderich for printing.
There were sonic clos"e' ells
too. The odd person was misiden-
tified in a cutline tinder a photo
and the mistake was caught by an
eagle eye in the layout most just
before the page was shot. Only
last week our••entire Christmas
issue was about to go to press
with it Nev‘ Years issue date on
each 'page, when someone scre-
eched "Stop". and fixed things
up: •
When ivc started this
52 weeks ago we had doubts' that
Staying at Flulleys
we would have somthing to say
every week. Some weeks we
haven't had much but have said it
anyway. Other weeks we get
inspired and the fingers fly.
Anyway, it feels like a victory of
sorts to 'have written this column
every week. Sometimes it's •my
salvation...an island of creativity
and humour(???) in a sometimes
exhausting, sometimes frustrat-
ing week.
Something to say was born in a'
rather strange way. I like the title
and thought when we were
planning our coverage of Centen-
nial year -that I'd use it on a
column of reminiscences from.
older folks to mark Centennial.
But 1 didn't get around to
org.anizing the history column so •
stole the title to top my column. S'
to s was probably more apropos-
for stories from longtime resi'
dents who really do have some
thing to say...but it was too Rod
a handle not to use.
It's hard to believe that 1975
has come to an end. It's been a
good year, a learning and grow-
ing year for me. And that's about
the best that anyone can hope to
accomplish in a year of her or his
life.
*****
May 1976 offer a better life for
all of us.
Happy New Year,
