I’d just like to mention that I doubt that the girls will be
able to play flag football next year. And the coaches at SJ School
can’t do anything about it.
The decision to make flag football, A CONTACT SPORT, an all boys
sport was made by the board of athletic directors.

Many minor injuries are a result of playing. Why? Because these are large pubescent boys pushing, shoving and slamming their way to the football, and that’s just the battle between the cornerback and the wide receiver. Just take a look at the linemen – to get to the quarterback, the defense needs to push at the chest to move the offensive line to get a clear route to get in the way of the passing lanes.
If I were a girl on the offensive line, I would feel violated. Push somewhere else? Impossible! I can recall two players getting injured if you push somewhere else. And the flags, they’re positioned on the waist, with the flags dangling on the buttocks, and when they’re pulled, both players are running at full speed.
The point is that no action will be taken. Why? Because flag football is a same sex sport at this age.”
“In response to Citizens Voice on Oct. 23 regarding San Benito County growth, you forgot to mention Richard Place who for years was and voted pro-growth. Supervisor Kesler shouldn’t shoulder all the blame. Also, it’s no coincidence that C.A.O. Gil Solario announced his retirement the same time the District 1 Supervisor did.”
“When will the people of San Juan Bautista stop listening to Jim Perrara’s constant threats of lawsuits every time he hears a chicken crow? Mr. Perrara at every council meeting threatens the city with some sort of lawsuit on every issue he does not agree with. If it is not the Subway sandwich, then it is the chickens. Mr. Perrara needs to leave San Juan forever.”
“I had a dream the other night after I spent a couple of hours setting up for Halloween. I suppose the fun of the season was on my mind as I drifted off to sleep.
I dreamed I had slipped into a different, but somehow familiar San Benito County. As I was walking downtown in my dream, I picked up the Free Lance and read a story about our local dream government. I saw that in this dream county, a few recent elections had turned out very differently. I saw that none other than Arthur Cantu was the district attorney, and “furiously scribbling” Harry Damkar was our Judge. Dennis Stafford was Sheriff and Richard Boomer was the police chief.
At that point, I woke up screaming! If that doesn’t scare you on Halloween night, nothing will.”
“More important things happen at the San Juan Bautista City Council meeting instead of the chicken situation. The local fire chief was asked why have we not received an inventory. And he jumped up and down and pouted like a little kid: It’s my fire department, I’ll do what I want to do. What is Fire Chief Cokely hiding from the people? Where is the accountability of all the materials that were bought with the city funding?”
“When did that nice woman who was sleeping in the window at Boutique de Lingerie wake up and leave? Did some mean old man honk his horn too loudly? Did she run away and join the circus? Or will she stay and join the local circus by running for City Council or County Commissioner? I sure miss her.”
