Melissa, who has been working at the Herald for the past six months, and family have purchased the newspaper and the building. This week’s issue marks the occasion of her first publication. I want to thank all the loyal Herald subscribers, readers, advertisers and vendors for their support over the last twenty years! It is my sincere wish that you continue to support Melissa as she takes over the weekly publication of the Herald. A weekly newspaper can not serve the community without the financial support of local businesses, government entities, and subscribers. As we work through the transition of ownership, I will be available to assist Melissa and staff as needed, however I will no longer be involved in the day to day operations. However, I will continue to compile the weekly “Museum Moments” column. Being the publisher of the Herald for twenty years has been an awesome career experience that I never expected but one that I’m extremely grateful to have had. I leave my position as publisher of the 104 year-old Lyman County Herald with many fond memories or events and people I met over the Photos by Melissa Slaba/LCH years.
