That's what really counts.Deb Ohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06012853847654670916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23948057.post-46474387855827812922010-03-03T10:28:12.622-05:002010-03-03T10:28:12.622-05:00Sorry Ben, I was too busy looking at the multitude...Sorry Ben, I was too busy looking at the multitude of crime and court reports that they insist on posting at the top of the website everyday to notice this error. <br /><br />Once one digs through those and gets to the news one practically has heart palpitations at the level of crime infesting our communities according to our local paper!<br /><br />Is it really necessary to post every infraction as a separate headline? It is giving a very negative impression about our community, and especially to those interested in visiting or relocating. <br /><br />Perhaps I am not reflective of the local demographic? Perhaps the real demand is in fact the court report which the paper classifies daily as "Breaking News" to add to the sense of drama.<br /><br />I have been annoyed recently by two out of town colleagues who have asked me, based on what they read on our local online paper, why our crime is so out of control. <br /><br />I could be wrong, but I do not think this sort of reporting is reflective of the local reality - am very open to hearing otherwise though.Armchair QBnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23948057.post-92116907943006867032010-03-02T21:08:08.341-05:002010-03-02T21:08:08.341-05:00Horizontal Herold looks pretty good to me.
