👨‍👧‍👦 Here’s to the Dads Who Keep Camden Strong 💪🇺🇸

This Father’s Day, we’re celebrating the men who’ve been the fixers, encouragers, protectors, and providers — whether they’re firing up the grill, teaching us how to change a tire, or just showing up with a steady hand and a whole lot of heart.

📰 From all of us at the Coastal Shopper & News — Happy Father’s Day!

The Little Newspaper that Could!

The Coastal Shopper & News began 14 years ago as The Camden Shopper. The Phelps Family came to the rescue of a former pressman, William Collins, who wanted to be a publisher. We left Douglas with our RV and moved temporarily over to the coast to assist with the start-up and assisted for about 4 months. We continued as advisors until he called us back in late 2012 and said he wanted to sell the paper as being the boss was no longer what he wanted to do. And, my husband Joe (the main character here) thought we should purchase the paper since we sold our other publications, with the exception of the National Barbecue News, and knew how well we enjoyed doing an advertising/marketing publication.

We (Joe and Carlene Phelps) purchased the paper, along with our youngest son Kell, in May of 2013 and have been here since that time - with a lot of changes. Joe passed away after a long battle with kidney disease and later liver cancer. This was a big loss for us with the new paper but eventually we “did not quit” and began to enjoy mixing and mingling with local and area businesses who wanted to grow their customer base. We went from weekly to twice monthly before the 15th and 30th as over 70% of locals are paid on these dates. This continues today.
