Today’s Bay Post/Moruya Examiner is a special one – the official launch of our new-look edition.
We’re keeping you in the picture in exciting new ways - telling your stories in print, online and through social media.
How we deliver stories has changed, but not our desire to share them.
Each technical jump forward - from monks painstakingly writing holy text on parchment, to the first printing press and, now, our digital age - has changed society.
Each step has brought more readers into the information fold, putting knowledge at the fingertips of more people.
Technology has broken down the division between the printed word, audio and video.
You, our readers, now decide how you stay in the picture.
The Bay Post/Moruya Examiner has a strong ethic of supporting its communities, particularly its volunteers.
We’ll continue to bring you the news, the community events that remain our lifeblood and the sport you love.
We’ll continue to speak up for our region on education, health, disability, aged care and regional disadvantage.
We could fill each issue with the people who inspire us – and this issue is not short of examples.
South Durras dancer Elise May, featured on page 1 and page 8, is doing us all proud on the world stage and we have the chance to see her close to home soon, in her company’s show at Queanbeyan.
South Coast jockey Winona Costin will grace our racetracks this summer, inspiring another generation of young trackwork riders.
Sam Strong’s lead sport story on page 26 is proof positive a regional jockey can make it big, Winona being only the second female hoop to win the Sydney apprentice premiership.
She follows in the riding boots of Kathy O’Hara, who broke the glass ceiling a decade earlier.
It has been fun watching the reader reaction online to the Pooh Bear’s Corner story.
The Crookwell potato farmers who began the tradition, when faced with fractious little ones on long journeys to the coast, have created a happy pit stop for so many people.
Peter Hunter, also featured in this edition, is a volunteer who loves both our clean waters and powering across them on his jet ski.
Aware of the conflict that often ensues between active and passive users of our beaches, he is trying to be a peacemaker between those with engines and others.
He divides his time between Canberra and Batemans Bay, but while he is here, he spends many hours volunteering.
As a result of his efforts, the lovely reserve of Cullendulla Creek, which flows into the sea, remains a quiet spot, unmarred by motor sports.
The people of the Moruya-based Asha foundation (pictured) and our front page story about the newly refugee advocacy group show charity does not end at home for many of our readers.
Asha volunteers Pat Reid, Rohan and Pauline Gleeson have helped villagers in Nepal rebuild and educate their children.
Finally, the return of live music on Saturday nights to Batemans Bay is welcome news for young people.
