It was time for an update, so the Times is keeping up with the Times!

Today is the new look for your local weekly. Next week, our website, www.pinerivertimes.com, will be updated as well. The good thing is that more news is going to fit on these pages, so I hope the changes will allow us to provide you with more of the stuff you like to read!

As I've learned after 25-plus years in the news business, there are always more things to print. It's fitting it all in every week that's a challenge!

So I hope you enjoy this week's edition. As always, let us know what you think.

Thanks for reading.
