The UCO Reporter is guilty of another biased editorial. Joy Vestal and her comrade Myron Silverman have done it again. They have excused the action of Phyllis Siegelman for removing the CV MESSENGER NEWSPAPER from the doors. The editorial saw fit to condone her action by using the rationale it was done to keep burglars away from vacated apartments. Do you believe delivering papers, like the CV MESSENGER NEWSPAPER creates an open invitation for a thief to invade an unoccupied apartment? NO. All papers, including The Advocate are usually removed after a reasonable amount of time. Do we wish to have someone threaten us if we remove the papers? Phyllis Siegelman was the only person ever threatened to be arrested for taking papers off any door because she took the papers off ALL doors immediately after they were delivered: a crime for which she was warned by the sheriff not to repeat.
One of the biggest fallacies in the UCO Editorial is that The Advocate is secure because they put a card in the May issue requesting residents to place the card in their window indicating they are in residence. The editorial makes you believe THE ADVOCATE is safe to receive and The CV MESSENGER unsafe because it does not use a card. The reason for the window card has nothing to do with safety. It has to do with THE ADVOCATE saving money by not wasting an issue on a vacant apartment; a lesson the Reporter might learn.
Now, I want you to think about the following scenario: Suppose I was a thief CASING (slang for intending to rob) an apartment. I notice The Advocate card requesting to receive the paper posted on the window. I assume this apartment is OCCUPIED so I move on to another unit. I notice “NO CARD” on the window. I assume this apartment is UNOCCUPIED and is a potential target for me to rob. I continue to look for units without CARDS in order to find the most suitable condo to break into. There you have it; The Advocates lack of a card is an open invitation for any thief; therefore, it is not THE CV MESSENGER creating the problem; it is THE ADVOCATE.
In ending, the editorial asks for an accommodation to be made for people not interested in receiving the CV Messenger; a euphemism for “WHY DON’T YOU JUST THROW IT OUT." As I recall this is, still a free country, and you have the right to do whatever you wish with your unwanted newspapers. I suggest you read the CV Messenger and use the UCO Reporter for toilet paper.
RIGHT ON!
ReplyDeleteThe UCO Reporter is drowning in its own lies and is struggling to stay alive by writing such trash. I have been reading the Messenger paper and I find it refreshing.
ReplyDeleteI don't see any papers left hanging on doorknobs anywhere. I looked for them ! So what's all the hubbub about thieves seeing papers that aren't there?
ReplyDeleteBarbara Cornish, in her column, objected to our posting video on you tube for the whole world to see. That looks like a case of shooting the messenger who brings bad news. If there were no objectionable behavior occurring there would be no cause for concern. She would better serve residents if she objected to the bad behavior depicted in the videos than complain about the rest of the world seeing it. No one looks bad in a video unless there is something bad about them in the first place. If there's something to be ashamed of, perhaps it would be a better idea to address the source of the shame.
Thanks for the idea of using the reporter for TP. I am a product of the depression and we used pear wrappers in my day but we never had enough. With the reporter I have an endless supply.
ReplyDeleteMucho Gracias.

Olga, my dear, I'm much more "Selective" in what comes into contact with my body.
ReplyDeleteJust viewed the current edition, amazing how with the amount of volunteer's they have on staff, none of them seemed to "UP "date, the Organizational News, considering many of them are on "Hiatus" from end of April, till Season begin's..
Is there something in the Air, directed to those "Competent" Volunteer's?
Hi Bettie, It's nice to know you use the SOFT kind. Unfortunately there are some people who live in the village who cannot afford TP. I have been told stories of individuals seen pilfering some from our bathrooms. Maybe we can donate all the unread copies of THE UCO REPORTER to them in order to avoid unnecessary waste in our landfill.
ReplyDeleteIt's too bad the Reporter volunteers are so busy trashing the malcontents that they neglect to print important new for the residents.
