Sue Ontiveros,<\/strong> a singular voice on the editorial pages of the Sun-Times<\/a> for 21 years, posted her farewell column <\/a>Tuesday. \u201cThe Sun-Times was and is one of the great loves of my life,\u201d she told Facebook friends. \u201cI loved being a part of it. I hope the current owners are able to continue to make it thrive.\u201d Said Tom McNamee,<\/strong> Sun-Times editorial page editor: \u201cWe have to make changes in columnists, just to change things up, keep fresh, even apart from any question of money. That said, I'm going to miss working with Sue. She's a pro, she writes about real people, and she's been a friend and colleague for a long time. I respect her so much.\u201d McNamee declined to comment on other possible changes.<\/p>\n
