Great job, Sun, El Sol and KSVY!
Editor:
I just moved to Sonoma last July after living in Santa Cruz for almost 35 years. However, before I moved, I was aware of two relatively new community treasures here, the Sun/Sol newspapers and KSVY radio. This is just a note to say how impressed I am with Three House MultiMedia (the new name for CommonBond Media, I gather from this week’s Sun)!
Wednesday night this past week, a friend and I went to the Sonoma Valley Hospital board meeting, and there was KSVY broadcasting it all live. We left after the decision was made, and I continued to hear all of the speakers pro and con at home, even cutting into the excellent “JM Berry’s Sonoma Valley Music Scene” show a bit. That reminded me of how much I enjoy that and the other weekly and daily musical and verbal ramblings on KSVY — marvelous human stuff!
The next morning, among the great regular features in the Sun, I thought two were particularly outstanding: Larry Barnett’s informative, personal and thorough article about his adult onset diabetes, and a great piece by the editor of El Sol about the sweep the week earlier in the Springs area by the INS, “la migra.”
As the head of my Moon Valley’s Residents’ Disaster Preparedness Task Force, I’ve been attending the Disaster Food group that Kathleen Hill of the Sun organized. The countless worthwhile ideas generated in this group, invaluable networking of community groups, resources and individuals and the ripple effects it is already having on community emergency preparation have been amazing to me.
Outstanding journalism and activism like this is at least a match for what I came to expect in my former larger and university-based home town. Bravo all the way around to you folks and what you do and encourage!
