Letters to the Editor
From: David Levy, Chair Marinet
After reading Pt 2 of the article on Agricultural Run Off into rivers and waste outlets and on into the Pacific Ocean, it is clear to me we share a global problem in this the so called developed world. This is a practice that by degree is happening all over the globe and the question is can it continue as the price we pay for cheap food?
Risk assessment is the modern day terminology, but we are probably thinking having read this article at our breakfast tables that this is the price we pay for cheap food and a modern life. 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
