Letters to the Editor

From: Roger Ewing
Morro Bay

On Tuesday, June 5th, a breath of fresh air wafted through Morro Bay courtesy of its citizens who finally woke up and saw the failures of past Councils to bring cohesion to our city government. For years now, our infrastructure, our streets, and our quality of life have all taken a back seat to the self-interests of a select few. With the election of Jamie Irons, Christine Johnson, and Noah Smuckler, we will at last have a more community oriented city government . . . a government that recognizes the needs of all our citizens, and a government that values all businesses within our community.  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
