Friends, we are still working on our website, but things have definitely improved! It's now secure and mostly user-friendly. During times of heavy traffic, some people are still getting an error message saying "can't connect to data base," but if you refresh your page, you will get to the site. Please bear with us as we figure this out. Thank you for all your support, sympathy and patience in the wake of Jeff's passing. ❤️

Friends, we are well aware of the problems with our website. Our publisher, Jeff Evans, was working on them before we unexpectedly lost him last week, and we are STILL working on them. The website is secure, but still a little buggy. Should improve in a few hours. But the new issue is posted! Please bear with us as we find our way forward without Jeff. Thank you for your support and especially your readership. – The Island News Team
