'Circus' ad slights the good in Cape Letter

Watertown Daily Times 'Circus' ad slights the good in Cape

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 2010

How many people read the advertisement in the Watertown Daily Times that invited the citizens of Cape Vincent to the circus being held at the town of Cape Vincent Recreation Park depicting Planning Board Chairman Richard Edsall as the ringmaster and making his board members jump through his hoops? How low can you go? Is this supposed to help Cape Vincent?

It would be my suggestion that the people who want to place advertisements do it in a constructive way. They should have invited the people to attend the chamber of commerce dinner that was being held the same evening. The local Lions Club was recognized for its achievements and dedication to the people of Cape Vincent. Kristi Kennedy was named Person of the Year for her efforts in writing grants that have and will continue to have great impact on the beauty of the village of Cape Vincent.

That is what good people do.

The acceptance of this advertisement in the Times certainly doesn't add any stature to the paper.
