Letters to the Editor
From: Bob Ward
Los Osos
Missing the chance to acquire 10 acres of property for free from the government might be a blessing in disguise. For now Briggs, from the RWQCB has stated, "Except for the Cardiff Stud Farm Area, we concur with the Report's recommendation that no further action (i.e. additional investigation or remedial work) is required along the JP-5 pipeline at this time." The key part of the sentence here is "at this time." Read More
Stan's Place
It is mainly in tribute to Stan that the Slo Coast Journal was conceived. He loved this community and the people in it. One of the things he shared with me was how important it was that we all have a voice. He felt that we should be reminded of how fortunate we are to live here, because we often take our place for granted. We in small communities have something to hold on to - the ability to know our neighbors and to understand how we all contribute to the lives of each other. Stan enabled that through his columns. Hopefully we at the Journal will continue, in our own way, that service to you.
I'm no Stan Thompson. I can't write like he did or capture that warmth and generosity of spirit he shared through his columns. But others will be here to continue to introduce you to your neighbors. When you read these pages, please think of our Stan and smile. Read More
