At the same time, may we all continue to enjoy the warm and compelling writing of Ann Butler and Rachel Turiel and the always entertaining slants on local life of Mike Smedley.

Andrew Gulliford gives us historical travelogues and real stimulus to explore interesting places.

Judith Reynolds illuminates our cultural scene as rich and varied and offers an occasional jibe at a local issue.

The key is that all this talent is local and in sync with our community.

Because of all of these, I still love to read the Herald.
