Herald Day is here running late.
The newspaper business has been part of my life since I was 5, and if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s this: if it’s not one thing, it’s another.
This time, it’s the printer in Montrose. Something — we’re not entirely sure what — caused a delay, and we won’t have this week’s edition in-house until Thursday. That means a lot of schedule juggling on our end, but we’ll get papers to the post office and in stores as quickly as possible.
In the meantime, if you’re a print subscriber and haven’t activated your online access (it’s included!), this is a great week to do it. Just send us your email and the name on your subscription, and we’ll get you set up.
We appreciate your patience — and your graciousness. If anyone has a spare printing press, a pair of ruby slippers, or a teleporter, we’re taking donations.
Happy last week of March, friends. Thanks for sticking with us.
The following press release from the county came in after pages had gone to the printer, and it’s time-sensitive, so we’re sharing it here.
