There is more traffic. There are longer lines at the grocery store. And there are red-clay signs of more workplaces, shopping centers and homes to come.

But just in case you needed further proof that our community is growing, vibrant and robust, consider this: You're reading the first Sunday edition of The Cary News.

By coming to your doorstep twice a week, we can provide:

Expanded sports coverage. You'll get more timely coverage of Friday games, and more news and commentary from our sports editor, J. Mike Blake, and our team of correspondents.

More town and neighborhood news from Jordan Cooke, our chief Cary and Morrisville reporter.

Added coverage from beyond our borders, including more stories from Vickie Jean DeHamer, who covers the swelling neighboring towns of Apex, Holly Springs and Fuquay-Varina for us. And we'll continue to provide you stories you may have missed in The News & Observer.

You'll also be able to read more from our readers. Today, for instance, we bring you opposing viewpoints regarding Cary's District A election, which will be decided Tuesday. They add texture to the public dialogue we encourage.

We've also added the New York Times crossword puzzle to both editions.

Some of you are receiving the Cary News along with The News & Observer; others find us in the driveway as a stand-alone community paper served up with advertising inserts. Either way, we hope you'll find The Cary News -- both our Wednesday and Sunday editions -- to be a vital source of information about what's going on in Cary and Morrisville.

You can help us continue to be a fertile marketplace of information and ideas. Tell us about news, events and achievements in your neighborhoods, in your workplaces, schools and places of worship.

Let us know how we're doing. If you think we can do something better, we're all ears. And if you think we're doing something well, we'll always take that call.

Send tips and comments to carynews@nando.com or call us at 919-460-2600. And, as always, feel free to contact me directly.

We look forward to hearing from you. Thanks for reading.
