Please advise....

Many carts turn signal indicators, and brake lights, are very hard to see in bright daylight. They are easy to see at night. For that reason, when I used to drive a golf cart, I used both the cart's turn signal and the classic hand signal.

Don't believe everything you read in the "Happy Paper." Our neighbor was in the sedan t-boned at the intersection and is in the hospital with 3 serious breaks in his pelvis that will take a very long recovery. Minor injury????? No, serious. Bad reporting, yes.

I am happy to hear, it was two minor injuries. I think it's sad when you get older, to have this type of things happen.

Unfortunately, this makes more sense based on the conditions of those cars. I do hope your neighbor has a speedy recovery. Very sad.

Perhaps I am to blame. I relayed the message and now can't find Friday's paper. Maybe it said not life threatening injuries.

I was just heartened to read the folks lived and I pray that eventually they will be well.

And welcome to the forum lbusch.

I am a fan of the Daily Sun.

The Happy Paper is great for sports coverage and special interest stories.

Not so good in providing facts, opposing views and countering ignorance on other important subjects however.

Not sure it is bad reporting. Maybe those at the scene were not qualified to determine that one passenger had 3 serious breaks in their pelvis. Maybe the EMT's, at their level of examination determined minor injuries that they passed along to the Battalion Fire Chief.
You seem quick to attack the "Happy Paper".
I hope you neighbor has a quick and positive recovery.
BTW welcome your first post to TOTV.

The most common type......of course.

That which is developed from input on a subject......from only one perspective.

In all fairness, wouldn't you say that the Orlando Sentinel and the Tampa Bay Times have the same problem but not the same perspective?

I couldn't say, as I don't read them very often.

I'm guessing though, that they don't habitually suppress any news that could he construed as shining a negative light on their community.

When's the last time you've read a police blotter, or an article on serious golf cart accidents regarding our community?

Yeah....that's what I thought.
