The purpose of this story is to keep a word given to Rick Lemyre, Editor of The Brentwood Press, who felt that this writer had misrepresented him in a piece in response to the front page stories of his papers regarding the eviction of Mountain View Christian Center and Trinity Christian School from their leased public school property in Oakley, California. I promised that if there were any errors in my story, that I would MAKE IT UP to him. And I WILL, as you will see in this story…..

First of all, Rick Lemyre and this writer are friends. At least on the part of this writer who will never forget a past show of support when needed the most. Yet we have found ourselves to be dueling at sharp editing-pencil points over a dispute involving the church/school and The Oakley School District.

Lemyre’s greatest complaint over my response to the confusing press reports was that I described his story as an ad hominem attack, which means an attack on a person rather than the issue at hand.
