We are about to enter our 25th year and our fifth as an online publication. I miss the paper as much as many of you, but readership-wise, we&#8217;ve never done better.\u00a0 We continue to grow dramatically;\u00a0 the February\/March issue received more than 25,000 unique visitors who linked to our web site over 75,000 times. THANKS.<\/p>\n<p>The Zephyr still offers unvarnished, honest journalism.\u00a0 We quote people accurately and we get our facts right.<\/p>\n<p>And please remember, we are a truly independent publication&#8212; no person or company or corporation or grant-giving entity contributes enough to ever make us abandon our own consciences. If we can&#8217;t speak honestly and candidly, regardless of &#8216;the falling chips,&#8217; what&#8217;s the point? And besides, gagged journalism just isn&#8217;t any fun. We take some pleasure in being honest, even if we&#8217;re slightly broke.<\/p>\n<p>And finally, beyond the politics and interminable debates and the dire predictions, we find ourselves looking back more frequently at a West that is vanishing before our eyes. For better or worse, the &#8216;New West&#8217; is the future. Now, The Zephyr&#8217;s most important role may be to serve as a document recording that demise. In anticipation, we&#8217;ve been collecting images and stories for a quarter century.\u00a0 We no longer &#8216;cling hopelessly to the past.&#8217; It&#8217;s gone. But we love to remember it.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"tonya &amp; jim\" src=\"http:\/\/ih.constantcontact.com\/fs128\/1102586344063\/img\/52.jpg\" width=\"212\" height=\"170\" name=\"13d36b03a44e1612_ACCOUNT.IMAGE.52\" align=\"right\" border=\"0\" hspace=\"5\" vspace=\"5\" \/> So if you&#8217;d like to help keep this little cyber-rag going, here are some ways you can help.
