For those of you who may not have yet noticed, Erika Pickles has moved out of the sports department on a full-time basis and taken over the reporter's position in the newsroom at the Niles Daily Star.
Erika did a great job with sports and will still be helping out from time to time, especially on football Friday nights.
That means the daily duties of the department have been turned over to me.
I have been handling the Dowagiac Daily News, Cassopolis Vigilant and Edwardsburg Argus duties for years, so I am no stranger to you folks who read the Daily Star on a regular basis.
I would like to assure you that there will be no change in our coverage with Erika moving into the newsroom.
We still will be providing local readers with the best coverage of our local sports teams.
I do have a favor to ask of those who deal with Erika on a regular basis. I need you to start sending me sports items and results.
You can send them just as you have before. If you drop them off at the office, that's great! If you fax them in, continue to do so at 683-2175 (Niles) or 782-5290 (Dowagiac).
For those coaches and league officials who e-mailed Erika your information, please change that address to scott.novak@leader-pub.com.
I would also like to ask sports league officials to provide me with current schedules.
That way I can coordinate coverage of your leagues.
I know some are wrapping up, while others still have a little time before the post season begins.
Either way, I would like to get up-to-date schedules so that we can get out there and get your kids names and faces in the paper.
Our reader's opinion's are important, so if you have a suggestion about coverage or a story idea, feel free to contact me.
You can call me at 687-7702 or e-mail me at the above address.
I look forward to hearing from you.
