Publisher of Sonoma County’s ’Upbeat’ paper moves on

50027It will come as bad news to some that the publisher of Sonoma County’s good-news-only newsstand periodical has ceased publication and is leaving the state.
So it’s understandable that no readers of the 22-year-old Upbeat Times (http://www.upbeattimes.com/) will read of its shutting down in the Upbeat Times.
In his final column, founder and man of myriad interests Paul Andrew Doyle wrote in the August issue not about moving on but about the joys of cooking. At the end he notes in a terse P.S., “There will be some changes with the Upbeat Times in near future.”
The most notable change is that unless somebody steps up to take over for Doyle, the monthly, free-to-readers Upbeat Times is kaput.
Doyle, a genuinely cheery and clearly inquisitive Montgomery High alum, teen Cattlemen’s Steakhouse dishwasher, cartoon illustrator and long-ago candidate for KFTY-Channel 50’s weather reporter, is off to new ventures and adventures in Oregon’s splendid Rogue Valley.
"I get to fish again,“ beams Doyle, who’s 56. The outdoorsman intends also to make a business of his passion for creating culinary marinades and rubs, to grow his own herbs and spices, to greet shoppers to a new trading post and to co-host a weekly radio show with his media mentor and friend Cam Parry, the ex-Sebastopol writer and civic leader.
Vows Doyle, “I’m just getting going.”
...
THE UPBEAT TIMES, he says, did not fail. Though it has seen advertising fall off because of the pandemic-induced stress on commerce that menaces newspapers everywhere, Doyle said the publication has had very a good year.
He said it’s simply that he and his wife and Upbeat Times partner Valerie Doyle, who’s leaving her client-services job at a Santa Rosa veterinary hospital, are ready to move on.
