Our first Red Phone caller of the week, a Hollister woman, asked the Crimson Crusader to get something done about the scofflaws who park “every which way” in Smith Alley.
Our hero promptly called the Hollister Police Department to see what could be done about this important issue. Public Information Officer Rosie Betanio said she would look into the parking violations and inform patrol officers about the ongoing problem.
Free Lance Only, Please
Our next Red Phone caller, a local woman, vexed by the unsolicited delivery of the Wall Street Journal to her doorstep, asked our hero for help. Our caller said she didn’t want the paper delivered and couldn’t figure our who to call to stop the paper from being delivered.
Well, dearest caller, there is no reason to panic. The Crusader did some research online and found the following customer service number for you to call: 1-800-JOURNAL (1-800-568-7625). This phone number is available from 7am to 10pm Monday through Friday, and from 8am to 3pm Saturday. All times are Eastern.
Free Lance at All, Please
Our next Red Phone caller, a Hollister man, called the Crimson Crusader with a very important newspaper question. He asked what is going on with the Hollister Free Lance newspaper rack near Jerry’s, a venerable San Felipe Road dinning institution.
Well, dearest caller, our hero regrets to inform you that this newspaper rack is broken. While the Free Lance’s Circulation Department works to fix the problem, please feel free to pick up a copy of the Hollister Free Lance at the nearby Quik Stop gas station or the Ranch Milk gas station. Both are authorized Free Lance dealers. In the meantime, we’ll work double-time to get this fixed.
Sneaky Speed Switch
Our next Red Phone caller, a local motorist, asked the Crimson Crusader to get something done about the speed limit sign on Frazier Lake Road in San Benito County. Since the speed limit changes from 50mph to 55mph at the San Benito County line, our caller said drivers should be alerted to that fact.
The Crimson Crusader called Hollister-Gilroy California Highway Patrol Officer Chris Armstrong and notified him of the problem before calling County Public Works. Helpful and friendly Office Assistant Marilyn Sowders duly noted the problem and promised to make sure the information was forwarded to the right person. The Crimson Crusader will check back on this issue in the next few weeks.
