Does the Garden Island staff actually read its own newspaper? I got a kick out of the 1 December article entitled “Weekend brings sighting of isle’s first humpback.” Apparently none of you saw the article in the 3 November issue about the first humpback whale sightings of the season which took place as early as 24 October. Anyway, at least Will Squyres Helicopters got some free advertising. Hey…I work for Jack Harter Helicopters and I have seen whales as early as the last week of October. Can we get some free advertising, too?
