You Said It!
Letters to the
Editor
Dear Editor,
As a reader of the newspaper, I know that I can usually expect high quality
news. In fact, reading newspapers are generally my favorite part of our
tours. But when a paper prints a biased, unfounded, untrue, disgraceful
piece of so-called journalism, I feel I have to write in.
The article I'm referring to is the so-called "investigative" piece looking
into why Starlights on Ice cancelled their performances last week. The
article insinuated that the reason that the skaters didn't perform was
because their excellent lead skater, Nancy Sheridan wasn't happy with her
make-up. Well, I can assure you that my make-up person here in Odyssey was
positively my favorite part of the tour and it had nothing to do with that.
The reason we cancelled was just as we stated: the Odyssey Civic Center was
mistreating Zamboni® drivers. The job that those workers do in making the
ice shine cannot be under-estimated! They have got to be my favorite part of
the tour and if they are not being properly paid for their trouble, we need
to do something about it. And we did. So there.
Your favorite reader,
Nancy Sheridan, Starlights on Ice
Dear Editor,
I am writing in to protest your decision to stop printing your Sunday comics
section. Not only does this decision hurt every member of the Odyssey
community, it is a disgrace to the newspaper.
Each week, children and adults around Odyssey await the comics section as a
source of intellectual stimulation. The bright colors and quick wit humor
are an inspiration to everyone who lays eyes on them. I don't know what
thought went into this verdict, but it was incredibly flawed. Kindly start
printing the comics again before the citizens of Odyssey run out of things
to talk about.
Yours truly,
Kathy McDonald
