Show TO THE PEOPLE OF DUCHESNE, UTAH: This newspaper will come as a complete surprise to many of you. However, it has been in my mind for many years since moving to the Uintah Basin four years ago. I have been in the newspaper business since the age of 17 and have always dreamed of having my own newspaper. Seeing the town of Duchense without a local newspaper has presented a challenge for service to this community. Therefore , you are now reading the first issue of what I hope will be a fine community newspaper that will serve you for many, many, years to come. This newspaper has been on the planning board for the past several months. Proper equipment has been located but it still remains to be transported to Duchesne from various parts of the country. With the coming of the new year we couldn't wait any longer to launch this newspaper It looks a little "silly11 this week without news, pictures, etc. but we wished to get a paper published during the, first week of the new year and it's darn hard to do without the proper equipment. So. . .next week we promise you a newspaper full of news and events of Duchense, where your news is on the front page and you don't have to play second fiddle anymore. ( The goal and purpose of this newspaper will be to serve the people of this community. We ask your cooperation and assistance because without your help this newspaper will never amount to anything. .YOU the people of this community will determine to what heights or depths this newspaper will rise. Again, we can only pfedge to you our firm and sincere dedication to make this newspaper one of the finest in the entire State of Utah.
