Printer David and April Hilton-Sykes, Publishers Letters to the Editor Problem with accuser, not accused To the Editor: I feel compelled to voice a few kinder and gentler words on behalf of our embattled ad ministrator, Mr. Kevin Erich. He is undeserving of the venomous barbs wantonly hurled at him recently. It is my opinion the Mr. Erich embodies the laudable virtues and ideals exemplified by the esteemed Hippocratic Oath. I, personal ly, have not encountered any individual making disparaging comments about Mr. Erich, bar one. And conversely, to my knowledge, Mr. Erich has never jnade derogatory state ments or harbored ill will or malice towards any individual, lyrical composition not with standing. If his character were il luminated by the pristine light of public scrutiny, it would ap pear unblemished, unscathed, unreproachable, and unCola! Testimony to his innumerable' accomplishments is simply but elegantly protrayed by the logo scribed on the parchment of this very chronicle, an integra tion of county health care ser vices that although not ideal is an enviable model to emulate. I would have no reservation enthusiastically recommending Mr. Erich for Citizen of the Year accolades. Although his achievements are lofty, he no doubt would choose not be elevated on a pedestal. Some may rebuke this proclamation as solipsistic rhetoric. My retort to these frivolous, petty claims is best epitomized by the adage, "If the shoe fits, wear it” . Thusly, logic and common sense would lead one to con clude if there is indeed a pro blem, it is rightly not with the accused, but with the accuser. Sincerely, (s) Edward S.
