OURoPiNioN Thanks to the former council; hello to LO’s new mayor, councilors

ith the arrival of a new year, there’s a changing of the guard on the Lake Os- wego City Council. W We are saying goodbye to Mayor Jack Hoffman and councilors Bill Tierney, Mary Ol- son and Sally Moncrieff. And with the first council session of 2013, we will see the beginning of a new era when Kent Studebaker takes over the mayor’s reins and three new councilors are convened: Karen Bowerman, Skip O’Neill and Jon Gustafson. Before we address the future council, it’s appropri- ate to thank Hoffman, Tierney, Olson and Moncrieff for their service and time dedicated to the city of Lake Oswego. Though they represented divergent points of view, and while neither the Review nor all the citizens agreed with all of them all of the time, Why your resolutions there’s no question that each in his or her own way tried to do their best to help the city move forward. Three of them — Hoffman, Olson and Moncrieff — chose to not run again for city office. Tierney, often considered the swing vote on the council ending in probably won’t last 2012, did run but was not re-elected to the council.

A huge thanks to the Review and Tidings staffs and their families Once again the staff of your local newspaper has performed far and above the call of duty in 2012. The many hours that are spent away from home each week covering meetings, watching games, interviewing local people, writing stories, taking photographs and designing ads are done more for the desire to produce a quality product than for the money. The newspaper you hold in your hands represents a significant amount of hard work and effort by such a small staff. This effort was validated this year when both the Review and the Tidings were honored with 26 awards and both papers were Drew Dakessian named two of Oregon’s best newspapers by the Oregon Newspaper Publishers Ralph Fuccillo REPORTER Association. REAL ESTATE LAKE OSWEGO REVIEW ADVERTISING SALES

A big thank you to the hundreds of businesses and professionals that advertise in the Review and Tidings each month We salute all our advertisers for their support and commitment to their local newspaper. Without local businesses, there would be no Lake Oswego Review or West Linn Tidings. We would like to renew our pledge that we will work harder for all local businesses in the year to come. We only grow when our advertisers do the same.

The entire staff of the Review and Tidings says thank you Everyone here at the Review and Tidings would like to thank each of our readers and advertisers as well as wish them a prosperous 2013. It is our hope Lanette Bernards that we can continue to make a growing Patty Darney ADVERTISING SALES ADVERTISING SALES LAKE OSWEGO contribution to Lake Oswego and West Linn WEST LINN in an effort to make our communities a better place to live.
