As many of our readers would have noticed, Lake News has been in recess over the summer holiday period.

After one full year of publication, the summer period was a time for review of the services and types of articles that were published on these pages.

Most information the reader sees on the internet is duplicated, that is the same story will appear in more than one location. Often it is a race between media outlets and other organisations to see who can first publish word for word the latest media release.

Publishing the same news stories as other news outlets is not the ideal that Lake News wishes to achieve.

Lake News has decided to publish original stories only. Articles that appear in these pages from this date onwards will be original stories, written mostly by the editor.

Yes, we still welcome your input and submission of stories and photographs for publication. However, they must be original, and for publication in Lake News only.

The main sporting emphasis for Lake News will be on women's soccer. Other sports will be covered too, however due to time restrain

The women's soccer season is just around the corner too. Coverage will be the same as our very successful 2009 season, with up to date competition tables, photographs and stories.
