Dear Lamorinda readers,

    As we enter our 20th year of publishing Lamorinda Weekly, I thought a note to all of you would be helpful.

    Many of you are aware that 15 months ago our publisher, Andy Scheck, had an accident. He fell through our second-story window while replacing it and was medevac’d to a trauma hospital, where he received excellent care and recovered remarkably well. However, he has not been able to return to work at the paper and has now retired.

    After the accident, our daughter Jaya added production layout to her editing duties, I took on many other details, and we scaled back to just 13 issues in 2025. We received heartfelt notes, emails, and calls from many readers and friends that truly kept us going—thank you all.
    Our reporters, columnists, printer, and carrier continued to write, print, and deliver the paper to your driveways, despite the many emotional and technical challenges we encountered.

    Our advertisers were supportive of our need to pivot to a new production schedule, and their marketing dollars have kept this paper publishing.
    Jaya and I were completely exhausted under the workload, but our long-time editor, Jennifer Wake, came out of retirement in September 2025 to return as our editor and saved our sanity.

    During all this time, we were unable to upload issues to our website, and our website and email were often not working at all. Andy had written all the code for our site and managed every part of that process before his accident.

    I am happy to report that this problem has now been solved! Our website was rescued and rebuilt by Orinda resident Jeremy Conescu, who reached out to help and redesigned the site.

 Our two most recent issues are now online; we will be uploading missing issues and updating the archive in the months to come.

    Please check out the new website (lamorindaweekly.com) and look for your printed paper on the second Wednesday of each month.

    Lastly, we could use your help to help keep the paper printing, delivering, and archiving. Please consider becoming a supporter by mailing a check to:
