Letter: Cricket near Hollister?
Each week in the Free Lance, we read about various sporting events but we Anglophiles sometimes miss a taste of British sports. Eureka! Right in or own back yard, cricket in Gilroy!
Letter: Fracking is red herring in flawed Measure J initiative
Enhanced oil and gas exploration has resulted in a huge number of jobs for Americans, inexpensive natural gas, and cheaper gasoline than would be possible without EOE. Additionally, every dollar spent on domestic oil and gas is a dollar that will not go to fund terrorists.

Letter: Grateful to sheriff’s office
On behalf of all of my neighbors on Severinsen Street in Hollister, I am writing to thank Sheriff Darren Thompson for the participation of Officers Lisa Ponce and Tony Weir at our Halloween night celebration. The 2,600-plus trick-or-treaters were grateful to receive the Deputy Sheriff stickers, key chains, and anti-bullying materials. Officer Ponce and Office Weir are wonderful representatives of the San Benito County Sheriff’s Department in community education events such as this – very personable, friendly, and patient when the crowds get thick. Since 2003, we have used our own money to pay for a block party permit in order to close Severinsen Street to traffic on Halloween night. We believe that the darkness, cars and oversize pickups, and excited small children in dark costumes could be a dangerous mix. Restricting traffic has helped to create a safe environment, but we also appreciated the presence of the county deputies’ vehicle which sent a clear message to discourage people who might be a disruptive influence. We are grateful to the county sheriff’s department for their contribution to a peaceful family-oriented evening.
