“I think there had been some ongoing issues. When you look at the big picture, there was simply no way to keep up. With the Star Gazette/Evergreen Shopper right across town, there just wasn’t enough advertising business to go around in a town this size. It’s hard to compete with a newspaper that has a shopper," Johnson said.
