Jenner story “pandering”

Sun., June 14, 2015

Always great to see Dan Pelle’s Street Corner photos. He really captures great images of our city and our friends therein.

Hate to see my paper pandering to the sensation-seekers by giving any recognition to Bruce/Caitlyn Jenner. So he says he’s a woman. A gentleman at the library yesterday said he was the son of Elvis Presley. Both assumptions are way, way off.

Please give us the news and local fun-stuff information but don’t pander to us with such nonsense sensationalism.
