A friend posted a link to a Ledger Dispatch article about a missing woman and asked everyone to…read morespread the word. I couldn't even read the article without registering, which wouldn't be a problem... although it's a bit invasive to require a home address and phone number. I tried anyway, then received an email saying my registration would be reviewed before sending me a password. I gave up. I get requiring registration with real information before posting comments, but to READ an article? Guess what, jerks... the woman is dead. Not sure of the circumstances yet, but maybe you should let everyone read the important news, no? Maybe this sort of tragedy might be prevented in the future?

Every time I criticize the Ledger Dispatch on-line by posting comments about one of their stories,…read morethey prevent me from logging on to their site. This has happened to me four times. I find it hard to believe that a newspaper would respond to negative comments by preventing those comments from appearing on their web site. I guess First Amendment rights have little meaning for the morons that run that rag. As for the stories they publish, they lack detail and let the most obvious questions go unanswered (I call this the Ledger Dispatch's Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy of news reporting).

One quirky but nifty aspect of a local newspaper in a town with a huge physics lab is that there are always interesting articles about the latest LNLL or Sandia news, with a pretty good description of the science behind it. The Independent magazine which is monthly I think is also very informative about local activities. And it's always cool to see your kid's name in print with the complete little league coverage!

The Independent is a good local paper that posts honest reviews, and openly allows debate from all sides of issues. I do not always agree with the editor, but when she states her opinion, she states it AS HER OPINION. So editorial honesty is present. When our City Council sold out to a developer to pack the downtown and ruin its parking and atmosphere, she stated so. And she also printed opposition to her opinion. That is fair journalism. The Independent and Carmel's PineCone are two papers everybody should read. You get a small town approach from people who care. We may have lost control of the two local papers we had, as they are now controlled by outsiders, but we have the Independent. Take a free subscription, you won't regret it.

Everyone enjoyed his caricatures and thought it was one of the highlights of the party. He asked each person/couple what their likes were so that he could incorporate it into the pictures (mine had my husband and me with our dog at the beach), which made them even more special. Because the drawings were so popular, Steve stayed 2 hours longer than we originally contracted for and did so gladly! I highly recommend Steve for any of your party plans.
