RAMBLING WITH THE EDITOR - Tony Brockmeyer

IT MAKES ME WONDER

It is said that imitation is the best form of flattery. I am not sure if I agree with that statement. Last weekend the Journal threw their papers in red wrappers. The First Capitol News has been using red wrappers since our beginning. Some said they were just imitating us. Others said that since their readership has gone down they were using the red wrappers to make people think it was the First Capitol News so their papers would be picked up. Whatever the reason, the Fist Capitol News is still he most read newspaper in St. Charles.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS

As has been our policy for the last five years, the First Capitol News will not publish between Christmas and New Years. We do not publish in weeks that contain a Holiday. Our next publication will therefore be on January 14, 2006.

The time off from publication will also allow us to spend more time on several investigations we have been conducting. If you have reported something to us and have not read anything about it in the First Captiol News do not get discouraged. We have a small staff and a vast number of tips to follow up on. Eventually we hope to get to yours. They are all important to us.

We hope you and your family have a safe and Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year.

BREAKING NEWS WILL BE ON OUR WEB LOG

If there is important breaking news during the time we are off we will report it on our web log on the Internet. You will be able to find it at firstcapitolnews.blogspot.com. Check our web log daily for frequent updates.

HANGING ON

This cold and cough are hanging on. I just can’t seem to get rid of them. Several other friends and family members of mine have also been affected. I wonder if we are suffering from Pertussis. You can read about the warning about Pertussis from the County Health Department. The story starts on page 3.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from the First Capitol News.
