But that was just one area that we gather personal satisfaction from.Another is being in the “making a difference” business.

Hat’s off to Brad Haynie and all the hard working folks who worked for months to plan and execute the day.

First there are the giant, droopy pants — a sad, debilitating fashion statement that makes it impossible to chase girls because teenage boys are too busy trying to hold up their britches.

Your headline called this request an “Ultimatum,” and your story implied that we appeared unexpectedly, demanding results and threatening consequences. You have the narrative backward.

That’s what we do to the best of our ability at a newspaper. We do everything we can to find out the whole truth and nothing but the truth whenever and wherever we can.
