KP News editor thanks staff and community

Scott Turner, KP News

Editor’s desk

From all of us at the KP News, I want to thank you for your amazing support this past year and into the future. It has been a pleasure telling your stories and supporting our local businesses.

Words cannot express our gratitude for your continued support of this paper. Thank you to Art and Jean Morgan, George and Donna Rippon,Yurg Construction, Peter and Janet Stanley, and anyone we may have missed in our tribute because of deadline constraints. We also received generous donations from others who wish to remain anonymous.

During 2014, many things went well with our publication. I want to thank advertising representatives Wendy Kleven and Brett Higgins for an outstanding year in keeping us in the black. Our paper is growing thanks to the ongoing support of local businesses.

Our core of talented volunteers deserve to be recognized, too, as they humbly produce stories and photographs each month to educate and bond our special neck of the woods.

I want to thank Bill Dietz, former president of the KP News publishing board, for his wisdom, open mind, friendship and dedication to making our monthly publication one of the best read in the state.

Ed Johnson was appointed the new president and I look forward to his (and other new board member) leadership.

I want to give a special shout out to Connie and Vic Renz (and their support crew) for their tireless efforts in distributing the newspaper every month.

As this coming year unfolds, I want you to know that I’m always looking for new writers and photographers to join our quest to better inform you.

Please feel free to contact me directly with your story ideas and your concerns.

As I have said in the past, I may be the managing editor, but this is your community and your paper.
