First, you may have noticed the name change to the editor's column.After, several months of deliberation and the people of Andrew County meeting via this column, I decided that you people know enough personal details about me.My wife says it is important for people to know me.I have a different opinion.Anyway, I am part of the Savannah community and diligently delivering your news from four hours away in Hutchinson, Kan. Hence, From Hutch is the new name.I understand there is still concern about my ability to run a newspaper this far away.As an editor for another paper, I successfully covered six different communities with 10 schools and six-to-eight local government entities across two counties, mostly all by remote.Before that, I was a news director and one-man team for a radio station that serviced all of southwest Kansas.Savannah is in good hands.That said, I encourage you to continue to reach out to us with story ideas and accomplishments.A newspaper is only as strong as its community.I keep hearing, "why did you not cover this?" "Did you know this was happening?"Contrary to popular belief, we are not omnipresent nor telepathic.We rely on a network to tell us when things are happening.To submit your story ideas, call the Savannah Reporter at (816) 324-3149 and select option 2 or dial extension #2071 to reach me directly.
