So ... the blogs are up again

Yes, it's been some time since the blogs have been on the main BerksMontNews.com page but we seem to be rolling again. We all apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

During this down time, we've all been diligently planning future editions of The Item as well as focusing on some gripping content for the paper. This week, it's been hard to ignore the lead story on Borough Council President Tammy Wilkinson's personal objections to an alleged swingers party at American House Hotel.

Normally, since this was a private party, it'd be hands-off for the paper, but because a public official decided to give her opinion on the topic, it became a news story, and one which many people, apparently, have an opinion.

The letters I have received this week have been very enlightening, to say the very least. Everyone's opinion is critical and we value each and every letter we receive. Remember if you plan to send a letter about a topic of interest (one we're covering or one we're missing), be sure to include your name and phone number, especially if you send it by email.

It's hard to believe it is nearly August. This summer has flown by, hasn't it?

Look for some exciting new additions to the blog and Web site in the coming weeks as we're working to bring you the most news from your hometown as humanly possible.
