credibility as a community newspaper correspon dent would be tarnished if i were to engage in such a practice for instance what would my readers think if i was to cite a nameless official of the local ontario hockey association junior team for accusing that clubs coach of suggesting don cherry was actually a closet francophone who enjoys watching euro pean short films or if i was to tap another source willing to speak out- but not go on record on how the mayor of this town was seen knocking back a few pints with ontario premier mike harris in the same way just as we columnists must attach both our name and picture to what we offer up for public consumption the editor of the tribune insists that all letters to the editor be signed and validated with a current address ive still got a letter pinned to my office wall chastising me for my disdain- shown towards a couple of families whose vocal young offspring ruined an anniversary dinner at a local upscale dining establishment last summerwhile wittily signed a mem ber of family circus in reference to the family circus label i hung on these patrons in my column the letter was placed in the editors reject basket with the words

stapley ciate that an opinion aired in print is sub ject to a return salvo or two anyway having said as much ifeel there is a time when it is both advisable and essential to hold back names and sources especially when there is no hint of a slanderous accusation involved and the story involves a feel good confirma tion of small town life youll just have to take my word for it that what im about to relate is in fact true and hopefully youll feela little better about the people in our midst who are committed to helping out those less fortu nate than themselves when im done a month or so back i heard of a local family who found themselves in the posi tion of having a rather essential utility cut off from their home due to a delinquent account and were not talking pennies here rather hundreds of dollars the fam ily was doing the best they could with what they had to work with suffice it to say that lady luck has not been a friend to them through the years calls were made to various agencies and organizations by a caring individual in an attempt to come up with a solution but there was no response upon hearing of the familys plight another individual in an office here in town got right on the phone and related the situation to an official with a local service club upon hanging up the phone this indi vidual simply smiled and said its taken care of you mean theyre going to look into it and see what they can do stammered one incredulous bystander no its done you dont have to worry about it said the indi vidual who had sounded the good samar itan alarm the whole thing left me with a feeling of unbridled awe for the work done by ser vice clubs in town it also brought on pangs of guilt for the indifference i so often feel upon being hailed by service club members
