Milbert: Won’t
renew subscription
due to Observer’s
content and
increasing cost
To the Editor:
The Observer used to
be a decent newspaper.
Now it is a pathetic ex-
cuse for a newspaper.
A newspaper should
serve as an example of,
and set a standard for,
literacy, especially since
public education systems
are failing miserably. The
Observer also fails miser-
ably in this. The writing is
full of illiteracy, egregious
grammatical
blunders
and factual inaccuracies.
There is obviously
no proofreader or copy
editor. Complaints have
been met with “Well, you
could always volunteer to
come in and help.” Even

ly. The frequency with
which this does not hap-
pen indicates that you re-
ally don’t care.
time in nine months,
you’ve raised your pric-
es without bothering
to warn your subscrib-
ers. These two increases
in less than a year have
boosted your prices an-
other 25%. For what? Do

this approach? Even our
legislators are smarter
than that.
I had been maintaining
my subscription simply
because a community
needs a resource to pub-
lish community dialogue,
legal notices and obituar-
ies. However, continu-
ing to do so would only
promote the ridiculous
notion that your perfor-
mance is somehow ac-
ceptable. My subscrip-
tion ended May 18. I do
not choose to renew.
It’s really too bad there
isn’t another newspaper
here. Then, your even-
tual closing would be no
loss to anyone.

To the Editor:
A big thanks to Gust
Tsiatsos for building beau-
tiful little houses for vet-
erans. We can only hope
there will be little houses
following for other people
in the community. There
is a great need.
A thought for homes
in an area where power
outages happen: In a
disaster, homes can be
without power for a long
time and a wood-burning
stove you can cook on is
a far greater need than

Maybe the predicted tsu-
nami will not come as
soon as expected, but we
will be without power for
a long time if it does.

downtown grocery

To the Editor:
After visiting the Mar-

grocery store Thursday
with my wife, I decided to
compose this letter to the
editor. When the news
originally broke that La
Grande’s Urban Renewal
Agency approved funds
for this establishment, I
shook my head in amaze-
ment: $500,000, for a
grocery store, really? If
