Spare readers the gory details Last Updated: December 01, 2016 Your articles on the Goodpaster homicide have been more graphic than I would share at the coroner's office. You may believe the public has a right to know, and that's your right, but the public in my household doesn't want to know the gruesome information. The pictures tell us everything. We don't need to know, and are not titillated by horrible images portrayed by uncensored details. I relocated from Wichita to Valley Center because I wanted to exchange the Wild Wild West for the serenity of small-town America. This community provides my family with a respite from the blood, guts and gore that permeate metropolitan cities. It's why I subscribe to a rural publication, not a big city daily. Your newspaper is quick to point out the flaws in our communities, from council meetings to train horns, and from politics to leash laws, but it's often without a sense of balance, propriety, humor or insight. I want only to be informed, educated, enlightened and encouraged. I do not wish to be grossed out. The best thing fair, funny, instructional and comforting about The Ark Valley News is Pastor Chuck Terrill. His are the first words I go to when the paper hits our mailbox. If the last couple weeks are any example, his will be the only words I read each Thursday. — Roger Clark Ryberg, Valley Center |
