Editor: “Parroquia” has two “r”s and “Sagrado” needs only be used once (Calendar, “Latino Festival,” June 23). And thank you for promoting cultural events. Rodney Cabrera Brunlinger, Eureka    

 Editor: Ryan Burns, in the article called Happyland (June 16), ably presented the musings of Internet branding guru Andrew Davis, who with bow-tie, bankers glasses and extremely kinetic overhead presentation generated quite a buzz during the recent Redwood Economic Summit. Kudos to the organizers for bringing him because, agree with him or not, he impresses […]

Editor: I jst rd Barry Evans’ pce (“Feed Me, See More,” June 9) in NCJ. WTF does CUL! mean????  If I wuzn’t doing this rant, I mite B considered a Luddite (I never break things I don’t like, unless it’s by accident).  Incidentally, I still keep the obit on the late, great David Anderson stuck […]

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: First: Whoa, John Graves! Child Protective Services has a dismal history of actually doing their job (protecting children). Rather, they seem to be intent on arrogant abuses of authority, child snatching and lying while ignoring actual cases of abuse. Please don’t set them upon the Krauses as the Example Police, also. I shudder to […]

Editor: Ryan Burns did a first-rate job of sorting through some of the rather arcane detail and language that surrounds conservation easements, in this case for the Usal Redwood Forest in northwest Mendocino (“Backwoods Statecraft,” May 19). Two points, though, stand in need of emphasis. One is what the Redwood Forest Foundation (RFFI) and the […]

Editor: I’m very sorry about posting obscenity on [Andrew Goff’s] Facebook page. My only excuse is that seeing him make fun of Romano Gabriel made me very emotional. (“Seven-O-Heaven,” April 14) Are you Italian, Andrew? You look Italian. You have a Roman nose. If you’re Italian, be proud! If not, pretend. I know Italian-Americans get […]

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: 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 […]
