Historic Old Northeast Neighborhood Association

Mr. Editor, you have now printed and distributed two newsletters since you took over the reins of publishing power. What have you done with the responsibility that is the legacy of North Shore.

Your first newsletter was over two weeks late, had no news and was simply a compilation of advertizements. It failed to report any of the relevant news in regard to the takeover of the board, Stop CVS actions, etc.

Your second newsletter, while on time, still had no information whats so ever in regard to what had happened to the elected President (Joyce Frey) or to her replacement, the
vice-president elect (me), or to the past editor (JOhn Mitrovka) or to the public hearing votes on the Stop CVS issue, etc. etc.

You simply must agree. You are no editor. Now, before you go getting all misty eyed Carl listen to me. You have the right to pick up a pen and write the articles yourself if no one else is giving them to you. You can fill in the blanks of information all by yourself. That is what the last three editors have done. Oh, the last three editors would have loved for someone else to write the articles. I don't blame them for that. They are after all editors. Not writers in the true sense of being an editor. But when the chips are down, and no articles on important North Shore news are provided to the editor, then the editor steps up to the plate and writes them. He has to. If he does not do it, then it won't get done. And that is what has happened with you. You did nothing.

Let me repeat. None of the last three editors who preceeded you let any important news go unreported. They told the news, good or bad. They did the job. You did not.

That is why I believe that unless we have a person who is willing to take on the responsibility of writing an accurate newsletter, one that the good people of North Shore will want to pick up and read and rely on, we should'nt print and distribute anything. All we are doing is wasting our North Shore funds and wasting all of our time.

What you sent out Carl were two rags. Not even worth wrapping fish in. Please, if you are not willing or capable of doing better, don't do anything at all.

Thanks to Carl

To Steven D. Lange :For someone who to my knowledge has never earned any money for the assocition, just spent it, you are being most disrespectful.

And who has ever heard Carl claim to be an editor ? If you had read an earlier posting by Susan R. you would know that he is just doing the job to get the association by, which is more than you are contributing at this time.

You are lucky that the articles you want to see are not being printed in the newsletter. Be grateful.

To: Thanks to Carl

I am not afraid or ashamed to let someone write about me or the entire NSNA episode of the last 90 days or 900 days. I say, select someone neutral and fair and start writing away.

Your pathetic logic that Carl, or any other board member of the majority could not have written such articles telling the general membership what has been going on in the last two newsletters is not only humorous it is telling in and of itself. The fact that not one word of it has been printed in two newsletters is proof enough for all to see. Even you can not whitewash that fact.

Go ahead, print the truth, I dare you.

NOT ONLY CARL!

It is not ONLY Carl's responsibility to issue a decent newsletter. That responsibility resides with ''his'' entire board and President too!

The new Prez, or his (self)appointed spokesperson, Susan R. should have provided accurate and complete information outlining ALL DETAILS regarding the former president's vote out of office for Carl to publish as editor.

That article should have included who on the board voted, who cast the deciding vote, and who then assumed the president's position.

In addition, that article should have included the ''for no cause'' information clearly stated!

Why they are not providing this information to the membership after almost two months is adding even more questions to the dealings of this thight little faction.
