Everyone enjoyed his caricatures and thought it was one of the highlights of the party. He asked each person/couple what their likes were so that he could incorporate it into the pictures (mine had my husband and me with our dog at the beach), which made them even more special. Because the drawings were so popular, Steve stayed 2 hours longer than we originally contracted for and did so gladly! I highly recommend Steve for any of your party plans.

Mark, who…read moreedits and writes most of the paper, is very bright and, to my knowledge, has never intentionally lied during the 30 years I've been here. Having majored in journalism a lifetime ago, I can say the Cannons are observed, there is ongoing integrity and the schools, children, farmers, business community and citizens are all well served. I have even considered, in my retirement, volunteering to cover some items for the paper. That is how much I admire the clear integrity of the paper.

Their web presence is no better than their delivery service. I just wasted 10 minutes of my life…read morethat I'll never get back trying to load their web page. The main page came up fine, but the links to the stories were either broken or took so long to load that I finally gave up. I tried on Explorer, Chrome, and Firefox. Explorer got me a little farther than the other two, but the pages still stopped loading after the headline appeared. I'm on a T1 line, and everything else on the web is lightening fast, so it's not my computer or connection. And this is a fairly regular problem for me. Heck, most of the time I feel like I could walk to their offices on E Street and pick up a paper off the presses faster than I could load their web page.
