A major electrical fault hit the press, which necessitated the printing of the paper in three sections instead of the usual two. Needless to say, we were on the street later than usual, but the fact we were printed at all was just short of amazing. The production crew was absolutely terrific; electrician George Moore was on hand immediately pinpointing the problem, Larry Hornsby, of L H Heating, arrived quickly to get our air- conditioning system on-line to cool down our rapidly heating-up plant, and a big "Thank You", also goes out to you, our customers for your understanding. It was also wonderful of Northumberland Publishing in Cobourg, publishers of The Cobourg Star and Port Hope Evening Guitje, to offer their facilities in the event we were unable to get the presses up and running. Today's Independent will be in two sections as well, and we're hoping repairs are complete by next Wednesday's production schedule. Meanwhile, thanks again for your co-operation and loyalty. Publisher
