Congratulations to TracieCat and Chris who both left comments on the “Whale dies at Marineland<\/a>” post. They were quoted in Niagara This week yesterday. In an opinion piece called “Marineland’s Nootka should have lived free<\/a>“, Doug Draper said:<\/p>\n

Nootka’s passing triggered enough emotion to make the blogs.<\/p>\n

“I am so saddened by this,” said one blog writer. “I remember Nootka and she was the whale I stood in line to touch and feed over at (Marineland’s) Friendship Cove.”<\/p>\n

“This sucks,” added another. “That whale kicked butt! Splash sessions were amazing when she was in them.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As you can see by visiting the original post, the first comment Mr. Draper quoted was TracieCat’s and the second one was from Chris.<\/p>\n

I’m ecstatic that the blog got mentioned, but for some reason the name of the blog and the URL weren’t mentioned. He never emailed me to say it was being mentioned, or to ask for a more print-friendly URL (if that was the problem). I’ve linked to Niagara This Week almost 100 times, and have had over 3,500 click-throughs to their site. Hopefully it was just an oversight by Mr. Draper. I’ll email him and find out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
