South Fork writer wants to bring back his old newspaper and more . . .
By staff writer
The Mt Index Reporter
You all remember the Skykomish Sentinel, the Baring Buzzard and of course the Index Eagle? And now we have the Index Times but do you remember The Mt Index Reporter? That paper was last published by T A “Thom” Boullioun in 2003 and he says he could start it up again as soon as March 1st. What’s new? With the new version you will be able to read it online and there are active hyperlinks that he calls Web Extras: features that have embedded links to other sites. You can print it out and give it away to those that don’t have computers! Sharing it with others is a good idea and its also neighborly — and besides its fun! By handing it out or taking it to your favorite hang-out i.e., the water cooler, the nearest coffee shops, general stores, gas stations, restaurants and pinning it to community kiosks. Distribution cost is nil if its shared by all. Striving for quality not quantity Boullioun envisions a source of pro-active information for people that live here and its informative for those not quite familiar with the area. There is also the new ‘smart look’ that opens the PDF files like it was an animated book, right on your screen. (broadband required) You can ‘turn’ pages and ‘zoom’ in and take a close-up look and even print from the ‘net’ at no cost to you! This will give the folks that live here an opportunity to show you what they know in their own way. Those of us that do live here can see their friends efforts being displayed here. With all stories, articles, poems, artwork and all of the content and materials and ads to be taken directly from local talent living in the area.
