There's nothing I like doing more than presenting positive stories about Chester.
Part of it is purely selfish. This newspaper is always attacked for the way we often portray the city. Let's face it, Chester has its issues, violence being one of the biggest.
But there is a part of the complaints that ring true. It is very easy to get a skewed vision of Chester, in particular young people in Chester, if all you do is report the police log.
That's one of the reasons we've been paying a lot of attention to the Chester Panthers.
The 8-Under Youth Football team completed an undefeated season. Now they have one more goal. They want to travel to Florida to take part in a national tournament. That costs money.
We're glad to be able to use the paper to help their efforts.
You can read about them here.
There are good stories in Chester.
You just have to look for them.
