It’s not easy, but we’re always searching for good news

Every day, the news is filled with the numbers of new coronavirus cases, and grim stories about those who died from the disease.

Local businesses are shuttered and people out of work. Some may never recover from this.

All of this comes as the coronavirus has shattered the budgets of our local governments due to the stay-at-home orders issued by the state and federal governments.

We’ve been reporting on all of this news.

But we’ve also been working hard to find good stories that bring us together—the ones that make us smile, and those that give us hope.

• Like this one, we published today, about a woman who learned how to sew so she could donate masks at one of our area hospitals.
• Or the one of a woman who dresses up in a pink bunny suit, walks her dog and waives to passersby to make them smile.
• Or, how about the story of how this restaurant brought a little joy to its employees that were now stuck inside due to social distancing.

We’re trying out best to cover the entire community. But it’s not easy.

Like many businesses, we’ve lost some paying customers — in our case their advertisers — and that has affected our operation.
