The following opinion piece is not an endorsement from Mahopac News or our company, Halston Media.   Rather, it is my personal endorsement. I’m just one individual who happens to purchase ink by the barrel, and my personal opinions have little impact on the news coverage of this newspaper, as I don’t micromanage our editor. Now that I’ve gotten that out of the way, I want to tell you a little bit about Jonathan Schneider. Our two families became fast friends 12 years ago. In fact, we consider the Schneiders to ...

That headline-grabbing, delinquent supply chain has now wormed its wayward way into graduation ceremonies, of all things. In some cases, cases of caps and gowns and hoods (those sash-ish affairs that denote academic degree) are backlogged in production or in transit, leaving schools to scramble to ensure their alumni-in-waiting are decorously adorned, as tradition dictates. Shortages of sashes have spurred resourceful work-arounds. Students have formed a bucket brigade of sorts, where those who have collected their diplomas, once off stage, ...

She responded — “missing teeth.” Those empty storefronts always reminded her of missing teeth. That term is always ringing around in my head when I notice vacant storefronts in town. The catchphrase “hamlet vitality” is the new governmental goal. But hamlet vitality is like what’s been said about the weather. It’s one of those things that everybody talks about, but ...

It was the early 1960s, and I had just gotten my first job as a kindergarten teacher in Providence, R.I. Two days before the opening of school that fall, a meeting was held for all new teachers. It commenced in the auditorium of the largest high school in the city. There were at least 60 to 70 people attending — all new teachers I assumed. Many were graduates of the local R.I. College of Education, but I had attended the University of R.I., and knew no one in the room. Many of the others were gaily chatting, so I did not want to plunge ...

In the not-so-distant past, children grew up helping out at the family-owned business. The business might be a small grocery store or a hardware store or a restaurant. Often started by an immigrant grandfather or grandmother, the family business also employed aunts, uncles, and cousins to help the business succeed. Growing up in a family business sounds ideal. You know where you will be working when you finish school, and you don’t even have to interview for the job! But a family-run business might also be a burden. What if the child ...

Drawing the line between news and public relations and critical to publisher credibility and success in the years ahead. There are still many in the industry who feel there needs to ...
