WALDEN – After reading the latest issue of the Hardwick Gazette (October 30) I was struck by the incredible value it brings each week and wondered if others see the value as I do.
In our area, is there any other news outlet where you are able to access the complete coverage of vital issues impacting residents? TV news is often an excellent source of state-wide topics, events and news in general; however, unless there is a major event like the spring flooding, there is little coverage of things directly applicable to the Gazette coverage area.
Where else would the public get the very complete coverage of the candidates for local and state offices such as appeared in this week’s issue?
Where else would there be coverage of the exciting news that Habitat for Humanity will be building two housing units in Greensboro Bend?
Where else was there coverage of the beautiful mural recently unveiled in the Bend?
Where else has there been unbiased coverage of the critical issues such as the future of the Lakeview School or discussion of the proposed use of Town Hall?
Where else do you find such complete coverage of events at the Highland Arts Center?
Where else do you find such complete coverage of Hardwick sports and local teams?
Obviously, the list could be much longer, but I hope this gives you food for thought.
I ask you to remember the value received and how an investment by you will make the service even better.
