Triplicate arrives on new days, with new features

Subscribers found their issues of The Triplicate in their mailboxes on Tuesday - rather than on their doorsteps - following the newspaper’s change from carrier to postal delivery beginning this week.

In addition, previously The Triplicate had arrived on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

But beginning this week it will be published a day earlier, on Tuesdays and Fridays.

Meantime, a select number of features will reappear in the twice-weekly newspaper beginning with Friday’s edition, in response to readers’ requests after syndicated puzzles, cartoons and puzzles were discontinued several weeks ago in favor of freeing up more space for local news.

Readers were given the opportunity starting a month ago to lobby for their favorite features, with the resulting consensus being Sodoku, the crossword puzzle, Dear Abby, and Marmaduke and Garfield cartoons.

Those selections will be appearing in each issue starting Friday, and throughout each week on The Triplicate’s website, www.triplicate.com.
