Darlene began working at the Bracebridge Examiner in March of ‘98. She started out as a receptionist and has worked her way up to Office Manager of the Examiner and Gravenhurst Banner offices. Darlene moved to Bracebridge with her husband Ken and three children, Trevor, Stephanie and Tara in 1986. It was a career move that sent them this way and they decided to make Bracebridge their home. Working at the Examiner has been an enjoyable but challenging job and hopefully one that she plans on staying with for a long time.

After spending his first quarter century kicking around rural Ontario and the Maritimes, with occasional forays farther afield, Andrew found himself equipped with a degree in English, a bucket full of experiences, and few useful skills. Journalism seemed like the best place to go. He spent ten years writing and editing at weekly and daily papers in the Ottawa Valley before moving to Muskoka in 2000 to become editor of The Muskokan. In 2006 he helped launch Beyond The City magazine, and took over responsibility for the Muskoka Sun as well as The Muskokan. He's written two books (Muskoka Traditions with photographer Bev McMullen, and Grace and Speed with painter Doug Dunford) and contributed to several others. He lives in Bracebridge with his wife, three children, and an assortment of boats in varying stages of restoration.

Paul moved from Mississauga to Muskoka in 1987 and purchased the Port Sandfield Marketeria on Lake Rosseau. He operated this with his wife Janice until 1997 when they sold and moved into Bracebridge. After building a house and taking some time off, Paul joined the paper in 2003 in advertising sales. An avid writer and actor, Paul keeps busy performing in many local theatrical productions.

Kim grew up in Orillia but lived the first 10 years of her adult life in southern Ontario before returning to the more northerly climes of Muskoka in 2001. With a degree in organic chemistry, the newspaper business was the last place Kim expected to find herself. After a 12-year hiatus from the workforce to raise three children, a part-time copyediting job at the Muskoka Sun while the kids were in school was the perfect solution to the kids/job conundrum. As it turned out, copyediting was an ideal fit for this perfectionist, who, as her husband will attest to, likes nothing better than correcting other people’s mistakes. Five years later, the kids are all teenagers and mom has a new career. The 2007 season was Kim’s first year as editorial co-ordinator for the Muskoka Sun and she loves the additional challenges it entails. 'Fabulous reporters, entertaining columnists and loyal readers make working at Muskoka's favourite summer newspaper a rewarding and enjoyable experience.'

Karen began her newspaper career in 1988, working for The Herald-Gazette family of newspapers in Bracebridge. The rest, as they say, is history. Karen's artistic talents extend to mural painting, folk art and sign design. She enjoys the creative challenges of ad composing and page layout each week, through a variety of publications produced at the Bracebridge Examiner office.

Caroline began her job in 1986 at the Bracebridge Examiner, proofreading ads three days a week. Now 21 years later, she is still reading ads, the real estate section taking most of her time. The job now is almost full time, since the paper and all the associated publications have grown so much over the years. Caroline was born and raised in Bracebridge and spent all but three years of her life here. She has been married to her husband, Casey for 43 years and they have two daughters, four grandchildren and two spoiled Siamese cats, Tabu and Truffle. Canoeing, watching wildlife and sitting on the dock at their cottage are some of her favourite pastimes.

Randi is originally from Southern Ontario, and moved to Bracebridge in 2003. For 20 years Randi has always come to Muskoka for holidays and figured, "why not have the best of both worlds?" Randi loves living in Muskoka and she says the people here are wonderful. She started working at the Bracebridge Examiner in April, 2007. Her position as receptionist is very busy and full of variety. The staff here is a lot of fun so she never has a boring day at the Examiner!
