Tiger isn't out of the woods yet
Tiger Woods has been in: the
spotlight since he was a little kid
because ° of his talent at the
game of golf. Throughout
his whole amateur and now
his professional career,
Woods has been the epito-
me of a role model for
those who admire him.
Recently Tiger has
been lambasted by
numerous media out-
lets and the tabloids
for his supposed indis-
cretions.
On one hand I think Tiger has a
responsibility to his fans and the
media to disclose in some detail
what he has done because he is
such a public figure, but only to
the point where it doesn't affect
his family.
I'm more on the side of letting
Tiger have his privacy because it
hits too close to his family. People
may think they deserve every
detailof what Tiger has done, but
he has a right to protect his family.
If' the tables were reversed no
one would want. their public lives
displayed on every news publica-
tion and on every TV channel in
the world. It's not fair to demand
full disclosure from the man and
yes he's just a man with faults.
I don't condone 'what Tiger
may have done blot people
should look at the situation;
he has two young children
who haven't done: anything
wrong and don't deserve to
be put in the same spotlight
as -their father.
I also want to know why people
need to know every aspect of a
celebrity's life? What is the com-
pulsion of the TIVIZ and Twitter
generation to know everything.
about famous people? Does one
really need to know what they had
for breakfast that day?
All I can say when it concerns
Tiger Woods is yes, he's account-
able to a degree to tell the media of
his life, but only to the point where
he is the only one being affected
by it. Family has no place in
celebrity media fodder.
Remember when...
Allan and Lucy Miller, of Holyrood, were honoured for their dedication to
the Lucknow Agricultural Society when they received a volunteer appreci-
ation certificate for the work with the society for the last 20 years
(December 2005). Left, the Millers accept the certificate from Agricultural
Society president Murray Irvin. (File photo)

of water was successful in putting out the fire, but Lyon said
another few minutes would have "spelled fate" for his shop.
