Letters to the Editor
From: A Concerned Citizen
A local businessman owns six dumpsters that are being used in the parking lot just south of the Duke Power Plant. He started with two dumpsters in an enclosure, and now has four more in the parking lot, plus a huge grease trap. The only ones I know of that are pleased with them are the new rat population, opossums, racoons, and the seagulls. They sure clash with our new maritime museum boats. 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
