The Sunsiter Newspaper will cease publication with this issue. After many years of publication, soaring costs played the major role in the decision of Publishers John and Nancy Edmiston not to continue. Increased circulation and advertising could not combat the spiraling cost of printing and production.
     “We have thoroughly enjoyed publishing the paper the past two and a half years, and having the privilege of serving the community”, stated Nancy Edmiston. “We are grateful to the outstanding efforts made by our staff to produce a paper of excellence.”
     The Edmistons took over the paper from Howard and Loraine Shonting in May, 1999, and proceeded to update the methods, equipment and production programs. The paper was able to cut some of the costs with the new equipment and to update production.  “We were very fortunate to find Denise Eggman, a graphic designer who greatly improved our advertisements for the paper.” Nancy went on to say  “And to have found Rita Morrison with her vast experience in the Arizona Newspaper field to work with us. Adding Barb Radcliff to the production staff and as senior proofreader, vastly improved the quality of the editing.”
