Not all in Newport- Mesa are canceling

I am writing in reference to a letter from Joann Kenton in the

Oct. 14 edition, regarding her letter about the liberal media.

Kenton suggested we are all threatening to cancel the Los Angeles

Times Orange County edition. I do not know where you got that

impression from. I am not canceling. I am perfectly happy with the

Los Angeles Times.

Rock Harbor deserved more mention in 103

On the DP 103 Spotlight on Religion, you really missed one. You

have one of the fastest growing churches in Costa Mesa called Rock

Harbor, and Mike Erre is the pastor, and he was left off the list. I

don’t know how some of the names got on and I don’t even know whom

Don Oliver is. Missing Erre and Rock Harbor was a glaring mistake.

Its one of the fastest growing churches in America, and it’s a couple

of blocks from your office.

Portions of paper need serious re-working

I am absolutely appalled at the fact that the paper now has

spotlights on retail and restaurants and things like that. Are these

paid advertisements?

Just one other comment I might want to make is that anybody who

has the gall to put in a newspaper One-Hit Wonders (Made the top 10

then dropped from sight) and list a young lady by the name of Amanda

Arthur should be taken out in the street and tarred and feathered.

That is absolutely the most appalling thing I’ve ever seen come out

of this newspaper.

Key judicial figure omitted from list

In response to whether the Daily Pilot “missed anyone” in the DP

103 selection, I would mention Nancy Clark of Newport Beach. She was

a key figure in the Orange County judicial and public safety arena.

For more than 30 years she has been at the forefront of “alternative

sentencing” -- which could be described as keeping “good people who

have done bad things” out of jail when appropriate. It also entails

helping drug addicts and alcoholics who have legal problems become

productive members of the community.

She was with the public defender’s office for 15 years and then

started her own business, which provides services that offer the

option of sober living homes for recovering drug and alcohol addicts.
