Here’s a suggestion that would go a long way to making your dad feel special this weekend. Direct him to his favourite chair, pour him a cup of coffee and place a copy of The Weekend Telegram print edition in his lap. Then, let him enjoy a quiet time of reading all that the paper has to offer.
Some of the articles this weekend include:
On our front page, an eye-opening story of a man sentenced after stalking a Labrador child over the Internet; the mother warns other parents about the dangers of the online world.
Also on the front page, an interesting story about housing in Botwood and more on the wild week in the House of Assembly as politicians debated the new access to information legislation.
While The Telegram website offers a small selection of our stories, and latest news updates throughout the weekend, the print edition provides readers with indepth coverage of news events along with special features, movie reviews, sports scores, entertainment items, business stories — and even cartoons and puzzles.
