SN will make some format changes for the next edition in July to reduce the editor’s workload. The paper will continue with a monthly feature (like Way Too Early ACC Hoops next month), road and bike race results, local league updates and rec news. The idea is to reduce the number of pages and the amount of content so he can take some time off and travel. Many of CSN’s former writers have already retired. The goal is to post the edition about mid month. We’ll try this for a few months. If you’re interested in writing about the outdoors—fishing, birding, hunting—let us know at joelcsn1@gmail.
