10 Years Ago, One of the Biggest Stories in New England Was About Market Basket and Loyalty
There are very few times that I go into Market Basket and don't think about the incredible display of loyalty that the employees showed 10 years ago this summer. In the summer of 2014, Market Basket's Board of Directors decided to fire Artie T. Demoulas. The next day, many employees started to strike due to loyalty with Artie T. and demanded that he be reinstated as CEO. Every media outlet gave the same story, stating that it was a family fight between two of the store's big bosses: cousins Artie T. Demoulas and Arthur S. Demoulas, grandsons of Arthur Demoulas, a Greek immigrant who founded the chain years ago.

Local Journalism: A Vital Job that Needs to be Done
We are currently seeking volunteers to help us cover Sanford City Council meetings. I began covering council meetings during my senior year of high school, as part of a school project. When I graduated high school this June, I opted to stick with the paper. I’ve continued to cover the meetings for multiple reasons, including my amazing fellow volunteers and the valuable real world experience this opportunity has given me. The key reason though, is because just like everyone else at the paper, I believe local journalism is incredibly important.
