Thoughts from survey responders
"With proper editing skills you might be able to rely on residents for local coverage."
"I enjoy your monthly paper. I wish it was available in more locations. Any chance it can be semi-monthly? You have in-depth reporting on every article you publish- great job!"
"I am very grateful that we have a free Northside paper. Thank you!"
"I think you do a great job with the resources you have."
"I enjoy having a publication that is special to my neighborhood."
"I think newspapers can cut down on printing, but print newspapers should never go away entirely."
"Please continue the local paper."
"The days of one comprehensive newspaper are gone forever it seems. Now we are forced to get our info from multiple sources, each covering one area: arts, hard news, opinion, etc. And not everyone wants the hassle of Facebook (which is not all that reliable). Too bad there aren't enough resources to grow the Northside Chronicle!"

Younger: Mindfulness that starts in the family can heal the world
YINZBURGH! COMICS By Nils Hanczar
From Mindfulness, Page 8
Mindfulness that starts in the family can ultimately, Younger believes, help to
heal the world.
“Just look at the news: We’re a society at war with each other, constantly unsure of where we stand with our neighbors,” she said. “Learning to see our neighbors and neighborhoods and even the disagreements we have differently can build the world that we want.”
