Greetings!

Naomi, Hillsider editor  | Hi There!
We will have an early deadline of Friday, May 14 at 3 p.m.
Thank to columnists and reporters who have already gotten their materials to me.
This month we welcome three new columnists: Sharla Gardener, Heath Hickock and Pam Kleinschmidt.
I know it isn't even the middle of May
yet, but with Memorial Day and graduations on the horizon I need to make
sure everyone gets their stories and ads in early. [My own daughter,
Rebecca, will be graduating from Northland College in Ashland, WI with a
major in environmental science.]
