Templeton Maker’s Faire shows off student’s abilities

Was encouraging to see these young minds being developed by teachers who go the extra mile.

Today we hear so much negative reporting regarding our youth. perhaps if there were more teachers and programs such as The Makers Faire that might change.

While I am at it I can’t help to also say something in support of CalCoastNews.

Observe current events taking place at the highest level of our government and see how those in high positions are doing what they can in diverting attention away from information which could lead to the impeachment of the president.

Also tactics applied to bring doubt on news reporting.

I can only say it deeply saddens me that The Telegram Tribune falls far short in upholding to the high standards of what true journalist are suppose to be, that is to report fairly on events which have a direct impact on members of society. I cannot and will not paint all reporters at the Trib with the same broad brush, as that would be unfair.

I can say that when I was personally provided with information concerning a then police chief and handing that information over to a reporter at the Trib, believing that reporter would follow up with the information only to learn later that the reporter turned that information over to the police chief.

I had learned of it when I came across the chief sometime later when the chief told me, ” I know what you did, I have friends at the Telegram Tribune”.

Who ever said life was fair! Journalist are in my humble opinion are to be trustworthy, honest in whose word you can trust and depend upon for telling the truth.

During the first Diablo Nuclear Power Plant Blockade in 1978 while working with UPI I was arrested for trespassing when landing on the jetty to get pictures of the protesters as they were coming onto the plant site.

The Telegram Tribune didn’t come to my defense in support of my right to cover the news when and where news events take place, even tho I had all the proper press credentials on my person and had been cleared by PG&E to cover the event. I wasn’t expecting the Trib to fight for me per say, but to defend our right to cover the news.

Take a look at what’s taking place today when we have a president vilifying the media, it’s called “kill the messenger when what is being reported hits to close to home and you want to divert attention away from the issue in question.” What has been done to Cal Coast News is beyond shameful with the recent court verdict. If CCN had had a wheelbarrow full of money to fight the powers to be it’s a foregone conclusion the case would have turned out differently.

In spite what some may think CCN in their reporting has never been out to sling mud or falsely accuse anyone, that’s not what they’re about, they just aren’t your embedded journalist who march to the orders or kiss the masters cheeks for perks and treats, they are the true watch dogs for the people, shinning their journalistic spotlight into those dark corners where deeds in secret are done.

Listen closely how those in high places are clambering for the heads of whistle blowers. The people who are unhappy with what’s taking place coming forward providing valuable information in where to look and trails to follow that will lead an investigative journalist to the facts, better known as “the truth of the matter”.

Pay close attention to the diversion tactics that will wipe a story off the headlines of a newspaper and the 6:o’clock news as well.

War looms heavy, we are living in times unimaginable are we not, killing the messenger will not prevent the inevitable, take that one to the bank and know what were not being told will hit us harder than what we could have ever thought, for the messenger has been killed thanks to those who believe power rules king in the trenches of the swamp!

,It takes place on a national scale and in small communities as well, Cal Coast News now more than ever needs our support by speaking out against those the messenger they’re trying to kill, doing so with alternative facts that our sense of smell should tell us is nothing more than a lie, or are we that far gone not to care. Not my problem, oh but you think not, then just wait, cuss we ain’t seen nothing yet! and if a investigative journalist is prevented in shining their journalistic light in bringing truth to a matter of importance, or to vilify anyone who is brave enough to point a journalist in the right direction, then a uninformed society will be born and all will become puppets to the masters, dancing to any tune of their choice at the shout of their command.
