Reader appreciates local focus of The Maui News

In response to the first paragraph of the June 30 letter to the editor about The Maui News Page 1 having a local summer scene of children playing, I want to applaud The Maui News for keeping this newspaper local. I have always appreciated the pictures of local people enjoying life on this beautiful island.

I agree that they certainly are not the most important news or information of any day, but there are so many additional sources to hear or read about the vital and important news and information, such as other newspapers subscribed to or read online, internet sources that can be carried with us, wide choice of news programs on TV and radio stations, along with the important other pages of The Maui News.

Much of the serious news is certainly thought provoking, and can be disturbing. We know it is vital to keep informed of issues, but we find the local touches needed and treasured, in their place.

We lived in the Chicago area all our pre-Maui days, where my husband worked for a major newspaper there. Among the many facets of living on Maui over 20 years in retirement is absorbing and observing the local aloha spirit, and we hope The Maui News will continue to show this, along with the serious news that also needs to be included in each edition.
