Fear is very peculiar; everybody in one way or another is scared of something. Yet even though everyone has a fear, most will blatantly deny their personal demons that haunt them during the day or perhaps at night before they go to sleep, and because of this unspoken fear of fear, it is oftentimes odd or nerve racking to learn about those things that keep our peers up in the middle of the night. However, in spite of the social taboo to broadcast ones fears, there are some people who had the courage to tell their stories.

I get my newspaper in the mail at the end of the month. I received the October edition on 10/27 – so all the news and upcoming events have passed. Why is this? Thanks.

The October paper, for example, came out on october 18th. The staff packages over two hundred subscriptions to be mailed on October 19th and the school district picks up the papers for mailing on October 22nd/23rd for stamping, followed by delivery to the post office. We work to make this process as quick as possible. The online news is available the day of distribution. Thanks for being a subscriber!
