Actions should have consequences

Editor:

I was forwarded Ingrid Abbott’s column (Optimist, March 23) as I now live in Victoria, but I keep in touch with the goings on and with my friends.

I was put in mind of the many trips taken by my husband and me by our boat, to the charming small town of Coupeville, Wash.

After several trips, my husband and I happened by chance upon a sheriff’s deputy and asked why there was no vandalism and no graffiti and the sheriff’s didn’t

Today you’ll notice a difference in the physical size of the Delta Optimist.

Due to our printing press receiving the contract to print a daily newspaper, all of the newspapers currently being printed at the press have been instructed that for the sake of efficiency, all of the newspapers will now be printed the same size as the daily.

The width of the Optimist remains the same; the height will be reduced by 1.75 inches.

With the changes in paper size, comes changes for editorial as well have to gear up for the weekend as they did in Tsawwassen. He looked at us as if we had four heads between the two of us; his reply stuck in my mind after all these years - there are consequences Enough said.

Moving forward, letters to the editor must be between 250 and 300 words to be considered for publication in print as well as the web. Any letters that exceed this word limit will either be edited for length or pushed to website only.

Editorial submissions from community groups will still be accepted, but it is advised that anyone wishing to submit press releases etc , contact editor Ian Jacques in advance to work out details of the submission regarding length, photo choice etc.

Any questions about these editorial changes can be directed to editor Ian Jacques via email at: ijacques@delta-optimist.com or call 604-998-3616.

What is city hall thinking?

Editor: Re: Closure of Arthur Drive April 6 to 11

Closing access to Sacred Heart Catholic Church over Easter weekend, the most

Holy Week of the year? And no other Catholic Churches in the LadnerTsawwassen area. Never mind having public works employees working over a holiday week- end at time-and-a-half or double time!

Any other weekend, or better yet, any mid-week days would have been better
