Saturday, August 10th the
Herald celebrated it's. 25th
anniversary since maving from
New Hazelton to Terrace. The
newspaper, 66 years old, had its
lirst. Terrace issue on ‘the
i stree(s on August 10,1949 afler a

- Tt was in 1908 (July llth to be
a exact) thal-Lwo new comers to
7 the Hazelton area published the
ie first ever issue of the ‘Omenica.
4 Herald’, as it was Uhen known.
The Iwe, known only as L.
DeVoin and D, Coyle, wrote in
that first issue; ‘!Wilh this issue
10 make our bow (o the people of
Hazelion and stand forth to
perform for them the service of
producing a newspaper, We
have nol a great dedl to say for
our selves, fully believing. that
our support’ will be jin exact
accordance with our deserts.”

That support, needless to say,
came readily and staunchly and
has yet to leave the Herald in
it’s 66 years of service to the
Skeena River area. ;

1912 De Voin took over the
newspaper and moved it lo the
boom town of New. Hazelton,
some five miles distani. The

caplured the. moment forever.

It was shortly after thal move’
that the. Omenica , Herald
acquired a new owner, Chuck
Sawle, who ran the newspaper

its move up river in 1949, Sawle
was a pioneer newspaperman in
every sense of the -word. He
wrote the slories, sald the ads,
layed the paper oul, printed it
ona small, hand fed press and
no doubt delivered it lo. the
stores in the area: When. he
