"Letter to the Editor" from a Lake Worth resident last June that never stood a chance of getting published in the Post

But that shouldn't discourage you! For instructions on how to get a "Letter to the Editor" published, which includes the special trick, use this link. Joanne Kelly of Lake Worth wrote a letter that never stood a chance of getting published for obvious reasons. Please continue reading, first the instructions that accompanied the letter: 

"Dear editor, please make the headline for this letter something like 'Objection: Don’t insult Lake Worth again.' Okay? Thanks."

Below is the letter written which included all the required information (address, phone number, etc., but may exceed the recommended 250 word count):

     "With all last week’s sad happenings it really seems mundane that I was insulted about the headline to an article titled "Lake Worth body leads to man’s murder charge”. [emphasis added] I held my breath in anticipation of what street nearby this occurred. Turns out the body was found west of Florida’s Turnpike and north of Lake Worth Road. Please inform Hanna Winston*, the staff writer, that area is not Lake Worth, regardless of what the zip code may be there. The town of Lake Worth is bordered on the west partly by Lake Osborne and the Intracoastal on the east except for the ocean bordering our beach.
     Lake Worth is a good place to be. A town with its own beach, library and 45 little free libraries, its own utility and water department, an interesting and real downtown with great restaurants, a boat ramp, kayakers, sailers, beautiful expansive parks, and our own golf course. And best of all many groups of diverse peoples with at least 10 neighborhood associations. Lots of people bike or walk to get around.
     The person whose body was found was from Miami and the alleged killer from Opa Locka. What did this have to do with Lake Worth?"

The headline above was in the online edition. Near Lake Worth? Near Greenacres or Wellington is more like it. The headline in the print edition was, "Lake Worth body leads to man's murder charge". Does their newsroom have a map?† 

     "This is a town of active citizens, a good city manager, and a City Commission who for the most part attempt to work together to solve city problems. Wednesday’s Palm Beach Post showed a photo of the candlelight vigil held to honor the Orlando victims. You quoted our Commissioner Andy Amoroso who said 'we’re doing this because it’s just right. It doesn’t matter what a person’s color or religion is. Or whether or not they are gay or straight. Hate is just hate, and we need more love.' If you want to use the name of our town, use it there, not on an incident 8 miles away that had nothing to do with Lake Worth."

Good point. Couldn't have made it better myself. Thank you Joanne for taking the time.
