From the Editor: Fraudulent Letter to the Editor
It was brought to my attention yesterday that a letter we published on this website, “Engardio Deserves a Chance to Finish His Important Work,” was not written by the person whose name was attached to the letter. The writer identified themselves as someone working in Supervisor Joel Engardio’s office. I was informed that the letter writer used the person’s name fraudulently – the real Engardio aide never wrote the piece.

It has been fascinating to watch the Upper Great Highway/Sunset Dunes saga unfold in our back yard.
From the Editor: Michael Durand
I spoke with Richmond Station Capt. Chris Canning about it several times last year when the information stopped coming to us for the regular monthly column. He said the station was short staffed and they wanted the officers out on the streets to carry out their official duties, rather than behind a desk, which is understandable.

Going through life with an attitude of gratitude seems to me to be a healthy way to look at the world.
From the Editor: Welcome Megan
It was a lucky day for the Richmond Review and Sunset Beacon newspapers when Megan Robertson came to our desk at an event last year and asked if we needed any writers.
From the Editor: Firefighting a Hot Topic
I watched in horror as the Santa Ana winds in Southern California last month reached hurricane-strength speeds which spread fires through entire neighborhoods leaving death and destruction.
From the Editor: In the Year 2025
In 1969, there was a hit song by Zager and Evans (who?) called “In the Year 2525.” As they counted up the years starting at 2525, the lyrics painted a rather bleak picture of a dystopian destiny for mankind.
From the Editor: Celebrating Good Fortune
In addition to enjoying great food, gratitude is at the very core of my being. I am sincerely thankful for so many people and things in my life.
