Lull before the storm

With only about a month before the village board election, slated for March 21st, this is probably the last “slow week” of our winter season. Many Garden City folks take a winter vacation during the Presidents’ Week school holidays (but good luck finding snow this year!) so this is always a quiet week around town.

However, starting next week we expect to see an avalanche of letters to the editor and other material. We get frequent requests from individuals to publish their letter on page two, but as the space is limited this is often a difficult promise to make. We try to put letters from varying points of view on page two, and it’s helpful if those letters are short so we can fit several of them there. Readers can continue on to the “jump” pages, though, so even if your letter doesn’t make page two, it’s still important.

If you would like to submit a letter please email it to editor@gcnews.com by Wednesday at noon. (There is no change to our deadline for the Presidents’ Day holiday week.)

We don’t have a word limit, but succinct letters are a lot more likely to engage readers’ attention than ones which run on and on. (We reserve the right to edit letters, although generally we just make minor corrections.)

Please include your name - we don’t accept anonymous letters.

Let your voice be heard- send us a letter!
