LOOK FOR CHANGES
at
"The Waterville Times"

 From The Waterville Times' Facebook page:

"Waterville Times readers, this is a quick note to look in your paper of Nov. 18 for some exciting news. For the next six weeks, the Times will be doing a trial run in Clinton and Kirkland, which lost its longtime paper, the Clinton Courier, in September. The size of the Times will increase to include the new community and so what we currently do is not reduced. If we see enough support from that area, Clinton and Kirkland will become a permanent part of the Times coverage. Next week's paper will explain in detail; if you have any questions, please let us know."

In my personal Email:

"An important message from Dick Williams for those who miss The Clinton Courier:
Friends and neighbors,
I am sad that the Clinton Courier closed in early September leaving our village and town with no local newspaper to keep us all informed and up-to-date on local issues and news.
I assume you share my feeling that a void now exists within our community after some 169 years of having a weekly paper.
It is my pleasure to alert you that the Waterville Times is very interested in covering Clinton and will begin a trial period on November 18, 2015.

The Times will come free in the mail to Clinton households and businesses between November 18 and December 23, 2015. The Times has hired a reporter and a photographer to cover Clinton and Kirkland as one would expect from a local weekly paper.

Pat Louise, the owner/publisher of the Waterville Times, has been a reporter for the Observer-Dispatch and has owned the Waterville Times for over 12 years so has a firm view of how to run a local paper. She also teaches journalism at Mohawk Valley Community College.

Pat wants your stories, events, obituaries, weddings, calendar items, sports, and anything else starting with her deadline of November 13 for the November 18 issue, the first one to arrive here. Send her items at news@cnymail.com. Telephone 841-4105.

I urge all of you to 1) subscribe to the Waterville Times 2) take out an ad if a business person, 3) send Pat Louise your news items just like you did to the Courier, and 4) spread the word. She has asked me to continue my local history column.

This is a trial period, and the Waterville Times will only continue here if the response from Clinton is positive. I see this as probably our last chance to have local news, sports, school, and feature articles in a local paper.

Won’t you join me in becoming a booster and welcome the Waterville Times’ endeavor to bring us weekly coverage of our community?

Call me at 853-5018 if you have any questions.
-Dick Williams"
