Newsstand rates bumped to a buck

Readers will notice on Page 1, that the single copy price of this newspaper is now $1 an issue. This is the first increase of single copy editions in over 25 years.
‘In those 25 years the cost of producing community newspapers has gone up — papers is up, gas is up, health insurance and all costs associated with employing are up,? Publisher James Sherman, Jr., said. ‘Now is the best time I can remember to subscribe. A year subscription still is the best bargain in town.?
A year’s subscription to The Clarkston News — full of community news, events, local business advertising and neighbor-to-neighbor want ads — is still only $32 a year. That’s only a little over 61 cents a week!
‘People who care about the community subscribe,? Sherman said, ‘so they can stay on top of local politics, sporting events and community outings. I want to support those who support us. So, subscriptions will not go up at this time.?
Our on-line news edition, while free, does not include all stories or ads available in print. To subscribe and save money, call 248-625-3370.
