This is the last week for Ocean Pines/Berlin reporter Greg Ellison, who is about to head back from whence he came to us in 2016 — Colorado.

A Maryland native who found a home out west while earning his master’s degree at the University of Colorado at Boulder, Greg has accepted a news position out in the Rockies and right about now is getting ready to head for the Continental Divide. We wish him good luck in that venture.

We also wish good luck to reporter Jack Chavez, who will trade in his county government beat for Greg’s coverage area and the challenging exercise of covering two communities whose similarities are limited to the same zip code.
