My First And Opening Blog

Fellow Wilmot Creek Residents.


My motivation to start blogging is quite simple, I want to help provide an arena where everyone can submit an un-edited opinion (open and for public scrutiny) on the politics and happenings here in this place we love to call home.

My next blog will be in the form of a copy of a letter that I submitted for publication in the March 1010 Around the Creek newsletter.

This letter was not accepted for publication. The editor stated that he had some issues with the content.

He stated that, after making inquiries of his own, he found that my comments were essentially wrong. He also suggested that if my article were to be published it may scare people away from running for office!.

He did however suggest that if I were to rewrite the article in a more positive manner and with his suggestions in mind, that publication may be possible.

Naturally, I could not bring myself to follow that advice. To do so would make the article no longer my own, but that of someone else.
Which would defeat the object of my writing the article in the first place.

Please read the article in my next blog and let me know what your opinion is, whether
it is positive or negative.

Terry Holbrey.
