It has come to our attention that a cartoon that ran in the Aug. 23 edition of the Journal titled "Christie Ranch Entry at the County Fair" may have caused some unintended hurt feelings. The cartoon was intended as a commentary on the criminal allegations currently facing local rancher Ray Christie and was in no way intended to disparage other members of the Christie family or unrelated Christies, including those who show animals at the fair. The Journal regrets any confusion or pain caused by the cartoon.
