Ms. Patterson, we are gratified that you and over 4,000 others are reading the Cape Charles Wave. The editors are trained journalists, but we are not Superman or Superwoman. We make mistakes. So does the New York Times.

When you insinuate that I am a blogger, not a journalist, you cut me to the core. I have no interest in writing a blog.

Here’s the bottom line: do you want us to dry up and blow away, or would you be satisfied for us merely to be perfect? I ask because, if indeed you support the idea of an online newspaper for Cape Charles, perhaps you might be interested in contributing.

We started this endeavor with three persons and the expectation that the staff will grow. We’re not looking for cookie-cutter ideologies, but we do need volunteers who know how to write, enjoy doing so, and are interested in performing a service to the community.

Interested? Please email us!

A blogger just went with the unverified resume.

Information on Mr. Bennett’s employment came from linkedin.com, where individuals post their own resumes. If the information is not current it is because Mr. Bennett has not kept it current. The Wave requested biographic and other information directly from Mr. Bennett but did not receive it by press time, and has not received it to date. So the information on linkedin.com was printed. The Wave has contacted all three candidates to emphasize that we desire to provide Cape Charles voters with factual information to assist them in making an informed choice at the polls. The extent to which we can do this is somewhat influenced by the candidates’ cooperation. Both Mr. Burke and Mr. Veber have responded to the Wave, but Mr. Bennett has not. – EDITOR
