Back in business
(April 7, 2010) I'm back in business after a few days of holiday and reconstruction! My ceiling almost caved in, literally. Due to a leaking water pipe upstairs, part of the ceiling in my home office filled with water and started dripping a few days before Easter. It wasn't until I saw the indoor "rain" that I knew there was a problem. Thank goodness our oldest son and daughter-in-law hosted the family holiday party at their home.
But now all is well: the wet ceiling removed, pipe fixed, sheetrock replaced and painted, office back in place with wire connections restored. We're ready again for business.
Business is helping set up blogs for community groups and individuals interested in communicating right on Recorder Newspapers' Web sites. Blogging is a real-time, multi-media, 21st century, online communication tool. The connection to Recorder is easy and free. Check out the more than 40 blogs listed among our 15 newspapers' Web sites.

New beginnings
(March 25, 2010) Spring has sprung. Saturday, March 20, was the first day of spring this year and what a day it was. The Earth is finally warming and green is returning to the land. Bulbs are sprouting and peeper frogs are singing. Life is beginning again in nature.
Also, the health care reform bill has passed the U.S. Congress and been signed (March 23) by the president after many months of wrangling. Some still are not pleased by this historic legislation; however, there is no denying that many Americans will benefit as they have from Social Security over the years. Too bad the debate is so politically motivated on this new beginning of a healthy life for so many.
Some of the bill's benefits include:
Those with pre-existing medical conditions may not be denied insurance coverage, young people up to age 26 may remain on their parents' insurance plans, insurance premiums will be subsidized for low-wage earners, large employers will be required to provide health insurance for their employees, and the "doughnut hole" gap in Medicare prescription drug coverage for seniors will close up.
Meantime, discussion continues on the pros and cons. Soon organizations will be offering programs to explain how the bill affects folks in this area. Information about them will appear in Recorder Community Newspapers and their blogs right here.

Rain, rain go away ...
(March 16, 2010) That was the song this past weekend as record rains continued to fall throughout the state and into yesterday causing major flooding in many areas. But today the sun is shining and hopefully flood waters, aggravated by melting snow, will start to recede.
Falling trees downed wires, causing power outages and closed roadways, even smashed property. Cleanup is ongoing. Hopefully, normal life will resume soon.
Spring is just around the corner (March 20) signaled by the return to daylight- saving time early Sunday, March 14. And after this year's stormy winter, area residents can hardly wait.
Meantime, Recorder bloggers are communicating regularly on a variety of subjects, keeping our online readers abreast of what's happening in the area. When folks log on to Recorder Community Newspapers to check the headlines, they also can peruse some 30+ blogs listed among the 15 papers.
Any individual or organization interested in joining the growing group of bloggers may find out more about blogging, an online multi-media communication tool, by contacting me at panderson@recordernewspapers.com or (908) 832-7420. I am available to help with the free, simple setup and connection.

Two big WOWs!
(March 9, 2010) First, the snow finally is melting. After weeks of snow-covered yards, drives and roads, we're finally seeing some green ... and venturing out and about.
Second is this week's report from the N.J. Press Association. That is: Newspaper Web sites continue to be the most used and valued sites for consumers seeking credible and trustworthy local content and advertising online, according to a new survey conducted by comScore for the Newspaper Association of America. Some 57 percent of the 3,050 respondents identified local newspaper Web sites as the top online source for local information - ahead of the totals for all other media. And you're reading one of those trusted Web sites.
