It is with a sad heart that I have learned that
the Copper Gazette will be closing. I have enjoyed reading the
"community news" and looking at the pictures that have always been
better than any other news professional could take.
I guess some of the sadness is selfish, as Charity has always been the biggest supporter of the local VFW Post here in Copperopolis. Without the Gazette there will not be the strong support and coverage we have become accustomed to. The coverage of the parades, ceremonies, activities and much more will be sorely missed. Unfortunately, the "local newspapers" do not cover our community like the Gazette has, and I doubt they will fill in the huge gap that the Gazette will leave. I know other community organizations will miss the great coverage and news that we have all enjoyed.
No more; traffic reports, fantastic fire coverage,
personal interest articles, births, deaths, concert photo's, local
government news and meetings coverage. And that's just a small part of
what the Copper Gazette has done over the last 4 years. I guess some of the sadness is selfish, as Charity has always been the biggest supporter of the local VFW Post here in Copperopolis.
