Today is a landmark day in LymeLine’s history.

We signed papers officially donating the LymeLine.com website to a newly formed nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization called LymeLine Inc. Created by local residents, this new entity will continue LymeLine’s mission of providing trusted, independent, non-partisan local news for our community.

Readers will not see any changes to the website in the immediate term, but LymeLine Inc. is building a new site, which it plans to launch before year-end.

Elizabeth Regan will be taking over my role as Editor and I am confident she will do an excellent job. All press releases and communications of any kind related to LymeLine should now be addressed to Elizabeth at editor@LymeLine.com.

Thank you for your incredible support for the past almost 22 years. It has been a privilege during all that time to share local news and views with the community through LymeLine. Readership and financial support of our news site have increased dramatically over that time and I am truly grateful for the trust readers and advertisers have placed in both me and LymeLine. 

I hope you will continue to enjoy and support the new LymeLine to the same—or an even greater—degree!

Olwen Logan grew up in a family of London educators but was inspired by her great grandfather, influential Daily Chronicle newspaper editor Alfred Ewen Fletcher, to pursue journalism. She built a successful career in efficiency analysis and senior audit management before launching her own PR-focused consultancy. After moving to the U.S. in 1990 and settling in Old Lyme in 1994, she became a staff writer for the now-closed Main Street News and later joined Jack Turner’s fledgling LymeLine.com, discovering the career she had always wanted—albeit in an unexpected digital form. Even after relocating to Maryland, she continued covering Lyme and Old Lyme with the same dedication, earning national recognition as a LION Publishers award finalist in 2020. After more than two decades of service, Olwen stepped away in November 2025, donating LymeLine.com to the newly formed nonprofit LymeLine Inc. and expressing her excitement for its continued growth and mission.
