In 2006 I began volunteering services to topix.com to provide a local perspective for residents and interested parties in the Wittmann, Arizona area.

The information and forums have allowed information to be available that would otherwise not have been available to the public in Wittmann at large.

As I have quoted Will Rogers...who once said

"he only knew what he read in the newspaper."

I compare today's world of communications as one that evolved to where now for most people...they only know what is read on the worldwide web.

For that reason I had chose to edit this page...to give my neighbors and community a source to turn to in order to find news reports. Materials that could inform and keep you advised eliminating the need for hours of browsing to find out what is happening next door or down the street.

Wittmannites and interested parties who find they can no longer post on this site due to assaults on them from characters in hiding - have other choices today and can now go to http://www.wittmannnews.com (...in no way affiliated with topix.com) to see a more complex news site geared to update you at the local level.

Plus there are forums that are moderated. Preventing the abuses harbored on the Freedom of Speech claim that some use to promote their defects of character.

This all being said I would like to invite anyone who wishes to...to contact topix.com and request to become an editor (competition keeps it balanced) for this site and for the locals who may still try to navigate through this part of town.

In the meantime the news postings for Wittmann, Arizona will be automated through a system called Robo Blogger.

I will work with topix.com to allow for emergency updates and be available for postings that involve a nature of imminent peril for the local community.

Keep it real!

Peace...elkc
