As some of you may know, the Deer Park Gazette is a family-owned newspaper. Ellie Chambers, our editor, is my sister. While preparing the January issue, our mother, Joan Schut, passed away. As a result of this loss, we needed to take a short break to remember her and regroup as we prepare for our future without her. There was not a January issue of the Gazette this year; however, January news articles will be available on the website and via social media. Our regular schedule will resume with the February edition of the paper printed as normal.

For our sponsors, we will be making adjustments to your billing statement, if you have prepaid. 

For our subscribers, we have extended your subscription by one month. 

We appreciate your patience during this time. 

Sincerely,
Richie Schut, Publisher – Deer Park Gazette
