Editor Neil W. McCabe Resigns
Prospect Hill Publishing is sad to announce that Neil W. McCabe has tendered his resignation and decided to move on to other ventures. We wish him the best of luck.
The owners, Prospect HIll Publishing, are pleased to announce the new editor -- George P. Hassett. George has been with the paper on and off for nearly two years and is familiar with the Somerville scene. He is excited about the challenges ahead.
Sorry to hear it! NOT!
Where did he go? Back to Russia?
Oh happy Day!
Maybe this News Paper can actually start reporting the News for a change.

He was probably scared to death that the boat-guy was gonna beat the snot outta him. And for the record, he is still gonna. Even more now that it won't be in the paper.

George is a great guy and he will make a wonderful editor at The Somerville News. George knows his way around Somerville pretty good as well as all the major players that occupy and run our fine city. George is also pretty well known around the Medford and Cambridge areas also. I have gotten to know George's work for the past couple of years when he was learking around in the shadows of Somerville gathering his info to write the perfect story. He will be a breath of fresh air for the paper! Good Luck George! Go out and do the right thing!

Neil, did you take all the headlines with you? After the first five stories, nothing else on the front page has a headline anymore.

hey ron et al;
we have been talking for weeks about implementing a new website and expanding our online coverage of the local news. now that we have gone a bit further toward that end, combined with the change at the helm, we are pushing forward rapidly on the new site. in the meantime, there will be little bumps along the way, as i am sure you might expect - we ask that you bear with us during this transition over to a new website and thank you for your readership and input.
thanks -
James Norton
