Finally, another sneak peak at the cover!

The last few weeks have been busy, especially with tracking the elections. We'll try to keep more up-to-date.

We have also created a Facebook account! Quick, become a fan!




PS - The link at the end for the Attorney General's Office is actually supposed to be www.atg.wa.gov--Amazing what a few simple changes will do online.

Awards For Outstanding Work

This year at the 122nd Annual Washington Newspaper Publishers Association convention, La Conner Weekly News won several awards. These stories were in categories with several hundred other contestants, from papers all over the state--many double our size.

All of the entries had to be sent in to WNPA before April. We're hoping next year's entrees are just as good.

And the awards are:

Second Place in Best Environmental Story - Anna Ferdinand for the Skagit Cows Can Turn On Lights article. The story was about a new "green" manure digester to create power.

First Place in Best Business Story - Anna Ferdinand for the Scientists And Apiarists Working To Save Bees article. The story focused on the efforts to slow the decline in bee populations.

First Place in Best Crime and Courts Story - Amylynn Richards for the Eagle Watching Horror, an article about the slaying of an eagle in public.



Second Place in Best Photo, Black and White - Amylynn Richards' "Beary Good." (Note: Was published in black and white, but is otherwise on here).



Second Place in Best Scenic or Pictorial Photo, Color - Robin Carneen's "A Quack Up." Division also included Floral, scenery, and abstract graphic appeal.

Third Place in Best Comprehensive Coverage of a Single Issue - Janna Gage for Neighbors: La Conner Landmarks series.

Third Place in Best Breaking News Story - Sandy Stokes for Brunisholz appointed to Town Council.
