Yes, you have answered my question. The Wave is a blog and not a newspaper at all. Stick to the facts, report them accurately, and quit causing dissension among the ranks.

Sorry we couldn’t tickle your funny bone, but we don’t accept your proposition that running an April Fool’s spoof disqualifies the Wave as a newspaper. CLICK for a rundown on April Fool’s pranks yesterday, including in the London Times, which reported that a German duke would have claim to the throne of an independent Scotland. The Times of London is considered the preeminent newspaper in the world — not a blog. And dissension among the ranks? Our purpose is to report it, not to cause it. –EDITOR

Many northern cities had Germantowns; ie Cincinatti has an area called “across the Rhein”. But actually there is a very German area, my house, since my wife is from Munchengladbach Germany. And she makes a schnitzel that brings tears to my eyes. Not to mention sauerbratten . I will work to expand this ethnic area.

Please, while doing these projects, see if anyone is interested in a “klein Deutschland” section as well — we need some good schnitzel in this town!

It was announced earlier today that the editors of the Cape Charles Wave were awarded the Payne Award for Ethics in Journalism. The award, which carries a $10,000 prize, was created “to honor the journalist of integrity and character who reports with insight and clarity in the face of political or economic pressures and to reward performance that inspires public trust in the media.” The Waves fair, unbiased, fact-based investigative journalism was noted in the Payne Award press release. I personally want to congratulate the Wave on winning this well deserved prestigious award.

Remember, this is CCVA; it is not Ocean City, VA Beach or the like. Cape Charles does not draw the numbers to support some of the ideas that are being “floated”, and while it appears to have been discovered, it is not at that level — yet. Anything legitimate at the old Meatland would be an improvement!
