Prior
to the name change, the weekly paper was known as The
Dundee Reporter. It was aimed at a small community of
around 2,000 residents so basically everyone was
familiar with the businesses and people featured in the
ads and stories.
One section that I
remember was the social page. A reporter would call
people
around the community and find out what they did during
the previous week. You would see things such as "Mildred Heiden and her son, Ralph, visited her sister-in-law,
Ruth Roggerman for lunch on Wednesday." or "Mr and Mrs
John Smith attended the birthday party of their
grandson, Bobbie Jones on Saturday."
