| Community Newspapers Unpaid Week Announced -- According To Tulsa World 4/29/2009 -- and also in the local Collinsville News with same date (due to decreased ad revenue). | This cvilleok.com web site (the newspaper's competitor) has also seen a revenue decrease this past year but going for a week with no paycheck is not an unusual experience on this side of the street. As the dust settles on the 2009 CHS grad pages ... I will be re-evaluating the approach for next year as the massive task has grown each year while the ad support has not kept pace. -- Ted Wright 4/29/2009 |

| Letter To The Editor: The Post Office requires every new house occupant to move their mailbox next to the street for the convenience of the carriers. But the bureaucrats at our local Post Office actually does the opposite making it MORE difficult for the people who pay their salaries? Another example of government compared to private business. Thanks, Rick Clark. (4/29/2009) [Ted Note: While I personally agree with this letter, I did want to add that my issues are with PO management as I have an enormous amount of respect for the carriers and the daily task they face. -- Ted Wright] -- Ted please allow me to say "me too" regarding the everyday local rank & file postal employees. Some of them are long time friends. Like yourself it is management I have issues with. By the way the local post office number is 371-6528 if fellow citizens would like to share their opinion with our local postmaster. Thanks again, Rick Clark. |
 | In a city seeking to "improve", the relocation of the mail drop off box at the post office is clearly no improvement. The saying about assumptions has been proven again as I gave the PO too much credit before. -- Ted Wright 4/27/2009 2pm -- (& don't forget the 2 cent postage hike May 11th) |  |
