Life is restored into rebirth. We have a new staff member, currently enrolled in the position of a dictionary dj in which he remixes letters to make some sense. Looking forward to working with the team to create a down-to-earth newspaper with voices heard & the latest news around town with some comedy & opinionated articles for those who want a renewed perspective. An open-minded person who will stand on beliefs but isn’t afraid to challenge theirs or others. He goes by Mark, but you can call him Spark; he states that it’s a name that he’s been nicked so, but also uses it to describe himself; we’ll see if he puts the spark back in the papers, shall we?
