Today you are reading your new Lake County Suburban Life. Your newspaper has a new name and a new look. While the name has changed, our commitment to being your No. 1 source of local news and information has not. In fact, during the past year, we’ve added more news, special reports, sports stories, health stories and the PlanitLake calendar – all features you have said you like. We’ve also updated and expanded our website at www.lakecountysuburbanlife.com.

Lake County Suburban Life is joining the Suburban Life family of weeklies that serves communities across the Chicago suburbs. By doing so, we are better positioned to meet our readers' needs into the future.
With our new name and look, we also are able to more effectively communicate who we are and what we do for the communities we serve.

It has been my honor and duty as your editor to bring you information that helps you in your lives.

We are proud of our work so far, and we are excited for our future, but more importantly, we want to know what you think. Please call or email us your thoughts on the changes.

We also appreciate your contacting us with news tips and story ideas as well as sending us photos we can use in this paper.

You can reach me at 847-231-7522 or by email at sdevore@shawmedia.com. I look forward to talking with you.

Sheryl DeVore is the editor of Lake County Suburban Life.
