Our first Red Phone caller of the week, appalled that the Hollister Free Lance would give “free advertising” to a local spa in the form of a front-page story, asked the Crimson Crusader why many other successful businesses were not given the same treatment.
The Crimson Crusader talked to Free Lance Editor Dan Fitch about the decision to profile the business on the front page. Fitch said the story was less about the business opening and being successful and more about the extensive remodeling done to the historic home it occupies and the artistic treasures found during the process.
Neighbor troubles
Our next Red Phone caller, engaged in a bitter property dispute with a neighbor regarding boundary and noise issues, asked the Crimson Crusader for some advice on how to solve the complicated dispute. Our caller asked specifically if she should hire an attorney and seek a resolution to the matter through the court.
Despite six valiant attempts at passing the California State Bar Exam, the Crimson Crusader’s efforts to be admitted to the California State Bar Association have failed. The Crimson Crusader is not licensed to practice law in California and cannot dispense legal advice. However, there are plenty of competent civil attorneys listed in the local phone book. They would be much more knowledgeable on this matter.
First Step in Navigating Corn Maze: Finding it
Another Red Phone caller, fascinated by the Free Lance’s recent piece on the Corn Maze at Swank Farm, asked where this amazing attraction was located. He said he got in his car earlier this week, hoping to see the maze, but when he started pulling out of his driveway, he didn’t know if he should go “left or right.”
The Crimson Crusader is here to help clear up the confusion, dear caller. The Corn Maze is located on San Felipe Road past the Hollister Municipal Airport, and there is a large sign out front that’s hard to miss.
Manhole Update and Words of Thanks
Our final Red Phone matter came via e-mail recently from a local resident appreciative of the Crimson Crusader’s efforts. It reads, in part: “Hello Red Phone, First of all, let me say ‘A BIG thank you’ to the Red Phone. … Yes, my obnoxious man-hole cover was fixed last week. Not only do my husband and I appreciate your continued help in this matter, our neighbors appreciate the quietness in our neighborhood too! As fall is upon us, a pot hole filling venture should also be done all the way down Highway 25 and on Frasier Lake Road. This will prepare us all for a wet winter that will be here before we know it. Again, thank you Red Phone!”
