North Coast Journal Reader

Editor: I was moved to tears by your article “Robert’s Vow” (June 9). This is a love story, and a tragedy. Who could possibly imagine this ever happening to them, or contend with the prospect of life after the untimely death of their child? The Parker family is in mourning, and I hope that the […]

Editor: Hats off to the intrepid developers of the Samoa Project! (“Samoa 2.0,” June 9) When the coming megaquake’s waves wash the many lives and new houses out to sea, I know the fearless speculators will be richer, in their fine homes, high up on some hill! Dave Ellis, Eureka  

Editor: I have not been to Al and Alice Krause’s house lately but I am imagining that John Graves’ “shame on them” letter is on the fridge with the report cards, photos, and prizes (“Round ‘em up,” June 9). His letter expressed a righteous concern about the safety of Tess and Sara Krause, the two […]

Editor: Hopefully someone from Child Protective Services read the news reports about the start of the Kinetic Grand Championship Race and launches an investigation into the actions of Alice and Al Krause, the “parents” who tried to force their children’s entry into the race (“Know Your 2011 Kinetic Sculptures!” June 2). From the news reports, […]

Editor: As an ex-pat from Humboldt County who is hooked on Humboldt (graduated from Eureka H.S. and HSU, left for graduate school and then sent two children through HSU, one of whom still lives in McKinleyville), I read the North Coast Journal online pretty much every week. I always enjoy it, but Barry Evans’ column […]

Editor: I wrote a letter a couple of weeks ago about the gentleman who had had a painfully obvious urinary problem (“Ick! Ew!” May 26). I suggested that separate wiping cloths be used for tables and seats in restaurants. Since then I have talked to restaurant employees about this subject. Only one restaurant manager agreed […]

Editor: I am compelled to write, responding to the article “Queasy Eats” (May 12). Healthy food service and accountability are important and appropriate topics. At first, I was shocked to see our restaurant named in the article. Since then, my fellow employees of Seascape Restaurant at the pier in Trinidad have been discussing with me […]

Editor: I must express my sincerest gratitude. Not only have my crossword grievances been rectified, but lo, I have been shown the light. Your man Bob really swung the bat this time (“The Hum,” May 26). Where the rest of us so obviously failed, Mr. Doran took upon himself the heavy burden of giving some […]

Editor: While reading the seven stomach churners (“Queasy Eats,” May 12), the words of Dr. Suess came to mind: “That is just sick, sick, sick. Just sick with ick! Ew!” ‘Nuff said. C. J. Williams, Eureka Editor: I was at a restaurant where I saw a gentleman get up to leave. It was painfully obvious […]

Editor: I just put down your May 5 edition. I MAY finish reading it after writing this letter. I found the cartoon by Joel Mielke to be deeply disturbing on so many levels that I hardly know where to start. He would seem to imply that residents of Fortuna (and Eureka) are rednecks of low […]

Editor: As a long-term employee of St. Joseph Hospital, I was disappointed but not surprised by administration’s denial of a toxic mold problem in PCU and the third floor break room (“Mold Grievance,” May 12). I, therefore, have a modest proposal: Relocate the administrative naysayers to a new office – the third-floor break room – […]
