Our view: Some extra summer help

A few weeks ago we used this space to express our love of all that are the lazy, hazy days of summer. This week, we don’t mind reminding you of that again — with some help. Inside today’s issue is a comprehensive guide to warm-weather activities in the area.

There’s also a new column by Darrell Davey, a part-time employee at the Pine Knot who helps us mind the city’s cable-TV channel CAT-7. He’s galavanting around the region with his wife and twin girls and agreed to share his day trips with us. That’s on Page 15, right after the pull-out summer guide.

We hope you can find some information from these items to use for yourself as we bask in the fleeting days of warmth. We thank our advertisers for supporting the special section and urge readers to keep them in mind when going about your business.

Enjoy. And keep enjoying your summer.
