A New Era Begin | The torch has officially been passed and, for those of you | have not had the pleasure of meeting, | would like to formally introduce myself. My name is MaryAnn Fleming and | am the new owner and publisher of Focus on Scugog. | have been in the publishing busi- ness for almost 30 years and while that sounds like a long time to those of you who do know me, you must remember | started my career very young. After eight years as part of the Focus team, along with Tracy Souch, Arlene Walker and Judy Ashby, | feel more than ready to guide the magazine through the next era, with a talented cast of artistic characters by my side. | wish to thank all the readers, ad- vertisers, writers and photographers who have supported our magazine and made it what it is today. The in- put from the readers and from peo- ple throughout Scugog has been a very big part of the magazine's success and we hope you continue to send us your letters, share your story ideas and just generally keep telling everyone how much Focus magazine has become such an im- Ea voice for Scugog residents. In small measures we will make some subtle style changes but essentially all the things that make Focus work as a community magazine will continue. We will still be delivered safely to your mail- box monthly, our advertisers will continue to make sure you know exactly what they can do to make your shopping and service require- ments excellent value, and most of all, we will continue to bring you local stories; we know there are many years more of stories out there and we hope to shine the focus on as many community peo- ple and ideas as possible. The publishing industry contin- ues to evolve and change. | look forward to the road ahead for Focus on Scugog and once again wish to thank all of you for your support and input. With appreciation, may it long continue. a Enjoy the Playoffs from the best seats in the house!
