Guest View: San Benito County roads about to be overwhelmed

Guest View: Firefighter loss would be big hit

It is a shame we could lose 12 firefighters. We need our fire fighters, we need more at that. We cannot afford this kind of thing to happen. It’s very unfortunate.

We have to be on things like this, make sure everything goes through properly and correctly. We should have had some kind of backup plan. Just like we need more police officers; I hope they don’t say we will be losing police officers as well. Let’s make sure this does not happen.

Guest View: Former nurse speaks out on hospital situation

Inspirational nurses providing quality healthcare transforms a building into a hospital. This metamorphosis portrays the exact vision of our founding father, T. S. Hawkins. His astounding gift compensated his broken heart by providing unimagined compassion to our small community. The untimely death of his darling granddaughter who had no hospital care moved him to unknown generosity. She was his Shirley Temple. She loved helping the sick and the poor. This observation can be confirmed by looking at her sweet photo hanging next to Madelyn’s Gifts as the aroma of food reaches from the “Little Sunshine café”. Her grandfather nick named this precious sparkle of a child, “Little Sunshine”.
