It’s not that expensive. I use my computer, my wife has a computer. I have a digital camera, so I’m set. No more pica poles or reduction wheels. It’s so easy now. My wife and I had a savings, some little inheritance; we don’t have a house payment, we don’t buy new cars, we live frugally, and, at this point, we have consistent advertising revenue. One thing that E.W. Scripps said at one point in his career, is that it was the purpose and requirement of newspapers to anger their advertisers by reporting the truth and the facts and damn the outcome. There has been a war waged on us in this community by the people whose foibles or criminality we have exposed. Nonetheless, there is an open… or maybe just a part of the community that was hungry for what we’re doing here. The reason my first edition had a story about the state opening the criminal investigation into the 2010 general election because people here had reported criminal activity in the election and the gathering of votes… so we do have tremendous support here in a segment of the population that doesn’t have a dog in the fight.
