To the editor:

Every time I  consider dropping  my subscription, you come up with an edition like the 12'ths. 

Your editorial on shopping locally was right on the mark.  My daughter lives in Winthrop/Twisp and they have research on the value of shopping locally.  Of course it's an hour to Omak and 2 to Wenachee.  So way to go!

Still miss Cashman

Anyway,  Keep trying to keep the paper alive.
