INSIDE PUBLISHER'S PEN by BILL BOWMAN Calendar ........................................... 16 Concert Connection ........................ 22 Movie Review .................................. 25 Free Wheelin' Feelin' ....................... 26 Covering the Issues that Matter our reputation on being fair and balanced long before Fox News branded that term. Our publishing model for commenting and reporting on local events and venues has always been based on how the issue affects and impacts our residents and their quality of life. Our publication has always been respected as this community's "community" newspaper. Not only fair and balanced, Up & Coming Weekly is written so it penetrates and resonates in all neighborhoods for every member of the Fayetteville and Cumberland County community regardless of race, religion or political affiliation. Everyone reads Up & Coming Weekly and it is for everyone. We pride ourselves on being the trusted mouthpiece for news, views, opinions, arts and entertainment and we take great pride in the talent and quality of our cadre of community writers — all of whom share the same sense of commitment to inform and entertain our readers while accentuating and illuminating our community. We are proud that in our 18-year history, we have never denied a government body, organization, institution or private citizen the right to express their views or opinions on issues with the content of our last edition. I always appreciate comments and criticism but, please don't lose sight of the fact that the Up & Coming Weekly is an unbiased and non-political weekly community newspaper.

Again, everyone reads our publication and our publication is for everyone. Black, white, Hispanic, Asian, Democrat, Republican, Libertarian, Independent, those for eminent domain, those against eminent domain, those for the parks and recreation referendum and those against it. It doesn't matter. What does matter to Up & Coming Weekly is that your voice is heard right here in this community where it counts — not in Lumberton, Southern Pines, Laurinburg or the other seven surrounding counties, but here, locally in a community newspaper that gives an issue or event a full week to impact the masses and not dissipate or disappear within 24 hours.
