Top 10 suggestions for the next Southside Times editor

By Torry Stiles Dear readers - Nancy Price has been the chief cook and bottle washer for our happy little paper the last few years but is preparing to move on after this edi- tion. We all wish her well. I just happen to have a few ideas for her replacement.

10. Be firm in your convictions. Never print anything using words more profane than, “poop.” 9. Be bold. More articles written by house pets, farm animals and folks who aren’t afraid to say, “poop.” 8. Be innovative. More “Do It Yourself” articles, but with a difference: hire local surgeons to write. 7. Hire Long’s Donuts to cater the newsroom, and I might just show up once in a while. 6. Go back to printing the school lunch menus. This’ll tick off the kids doing e- learning at home and scarfing Spaghet- tiOs for the third time this week. Last Saturday afternoon, kids of all ages enjoyed a favorite winter pastime: sledding.
