SPECIAL E-FECTS CELEBRATES 20 YEARS!
Our Mission
(1/9/2009) PART II By Gerlind Dubey
[READ PART I]

When Hank Dubey passed away very unexpectedly in 2004, he left me, his widow, to carry on.

Knowing little about the newspaper business, I was at quite the loss. However by relying on the expertise of Brenda Perks, advisor, Brian McFadden and with the help of close friends, we were able to continue publishing, this “little paper”.

We have had a few ups and downs over the past four years, but persevered and through trial and error have evolved into a genuine “small town paper.”

Our mission as a small-town newspaper is to make residents as well as visitors aware of their surroundings and the changes that occur. By reporting the daily life events of local people, Special-E-Fects serves an important function in community life. We reflect, affirm and continue to build a positive community atmosphere. Our niche is to concentrate on local, personal and community events. In the process we try help local citizens and week-end residents alike, define what it means to be a member of this SPECIAL community.
