A week to tinker and tweak

It's August. The sun is shining. The birds are singing. And, well, we're going to be taking a break and doing some tinkering here on the website. That means that you won't be getting your weekly dose of U.P. Second Wave next week.

Don’t worry, we'll be back. You can't get rid of us that easy. We won't be publishing for the Aug. 15 edition but will be back with a brand-new issue come Aug. 22 for you to enjoy.

While we're gone you should check out our archives on the website as well as our Facebook page, which is closing in on 1,600 likes! Please, share us with your friends and help put us over that milestone.

We'd also like to take a moment and say thanks to each and every one of our readers. We appreciate that you've stuck with us for the past two years (and over 100 issues now!) and are keeping us going strong by reading our articles and commenting on them. It really makes a difference.

So, until Aug. 22, we hope you have a great couple of weeks and we look forward to coming back with some great new news pieces and outstanding local features.
