April Ziemer, who has served as editor of the Amery Free Press for the last five years, has left the newspaper, she announced in a recent column.
Ziemer, whose previous background included photography and customer service, joined the Free Press in July 2018. She also has been an active volunteer in the community, chairing the Amery Fall Festival on several occaisions.
In her farewell column, Ziemer said she plans to start her own company. She noted a heavy workload that pulled her away from family and other commitments and increasing vitriolic attacks on social media contributed to the decision.
