Really Brad Devader? Melanie Mazur is divisive? (Times, March 21, 2014)

I would hardly call Melanie divisive. She and Carole bring us the local news every week. Mel prints two columnists in the paper and almost every letter to the editor she receives. I don't agree with the columnists every week, but I read them. Mel also volunteers her time for the Bayfield Chamber of Commerce, Heritage Days, Igancio Bike Week, and plenty of other events. Then she helps cover these events and puts them in a weekly newspaper. The big stories in the Times lately have been about basketball, town board candidates, and the good things our local kids are doing. She helps unite the community, not divide it.
