Letter to Editor Dear Mr. James: This letter is written in a state of anger and frustration frustration that surpasses anything anything this family has had to deal with regarding the publication of your newspapers. newspapers. On September 25, 1987, Jean visited your newspaper newspaper office and presented a "Forthcoming Marriage" announcement for October 10,1987 of our son Neil and his fiance Janice, to be inserted inserted the following week September 30 or in the October October 7 issue of The Canadian Canadian Statesman and the Newcastle Independent. Accompanying the request was an appropriate text and photo and the required insertion insertion fee was paid for both papers. The announcement was published in the Statesman issue of September 30 but did not appear in the Independent Independent for either of the requested requested dates prior to the wedding. We dismissed the omission as a fact of life with a term often used, called the "Gremlins" must have got it. However, we were astounded astounded to see in the November November 11 issue of the Newcastle Newcastle Independent - the requested requested announcement with "the text altered", "the caption changed", six weeks after the requested dates, five weeks after the wedding, with no consultation consultation regarding the delay of publication or the change in the text. We find this a totally unacceptable unacceptable action by newspaper newspaper management for announcements announcements of this type, and feel we with your readers, readers, our neighbours and friends are deserving of an explanation. We are very provoked by this apparent disregard of the intentions of persons who bring forth and pay for personal news items to Durham County's Great Family Journal. Yours truly, E. Jean Taylor and R. Bruce Taylor Editor's note: Almost every week we find new ways of making mistakes; it's amazing amazing how many ways there are. This one should not have occurred, but our system system of checks and balances obviously has flaws. The staff member checking for paid insertions that had not been published came across yours. The caption was updated and inserted in The Independent much later than it should have been. All we can do now is apologize and say we shall be delighted to make amends without cost to you, ifyou would trust us to print a photo and write up of the wedding POLICE SPONSOR GAMES FOR DISABLED -- On Saturday, November 28, the Third Annual Durham Regional Police Disabled Children's Games will take place.
