    @Normal:Oy vey

    I am seriously reconsidering the wisdom of spending $17.29 month after month to receive a publication which in the course of one week included a headline that read “Stating the teachers’ case” which was in fact a presentation of the school board’s position, and a letter to the editor entitled “Prescription drug database to risky.”

    My son recently asked the meaning of the saying, “Oy vey.” If there is any redeeming quality of your newspaper which I have recently encountered, other than the Sudoku, which I’ll have you know pleases me to no end, it is the opportunity afforded to elucidate the meaning of “Oy vey.”
