Winter 2009 Applegater Shortage of fire starter Applegater now online! The Applegate Valley Community Newspaper is now publishing a website that is a companion and expansion of the content and services that the printed Applegater newspaper provides. Now that I have your attention, The Applegater Community Newspaper will be published quarterly through at least 2009. As our finances become more stable, the paper may return to its previous bimonthly publication. All community events and topics, timely or of current interest can easily be accessed on the Applegater’s own website at www.applegater.org. At this site you can easily submit information, dates, events, etc. and/or be added to the monthly calendar site. Best of all, your community organization can be linked to our website at www. applegater.org, free of charge. Check it often. J.D. Rogers, Editor Highlights of what this website will offer include: • • • • • • • Index and viewable/downloadable issues of the Applegater starting from March 2008. Expansion of content and pictures of selected articles that appear in the printed paper. Community calendar that everyone can post to by contacting our webmaster via email. Community services directory with contacts, current activities and bulletins for all our major community services such as police, fire, library, BLM, etc. Directory of local businesses. Listing of websites that pertain to the Applegate Valley. Changing collection of images of scenery and activities within our beautiful valley. We encourage you to log on to http://applegater.org. Gary Brauer, Webmaster AVCNGaryBrauer@gmail.com Note to readers Due to unforeseen technical problems, we are unable to use the winning logo created for us by artist Jo s i e Me n d e l s o h n . We sincerely regret this, and would like to thank Josie for her considerable time and efforts on our behalf. So, instead of one logo, we have decided to graphically depict the different seasons on the front page. We hope you will enjoy the changing artwork.
