Inconsiderate meeting EDITOR, Last week’s Crows Landing meeting (July 1) to explain the West Park industrial development environmental impact report process to the public certainly did not take West Side residents into consideration. Scheduled for 6 to 9 p.m., the meeting was at Bonita School, without adequate seating for the public, without a public address system, without air conditioning and without convenient parking for some attendees. Even officials representing Stanislaus County and West Park found themselves standing throughout the meeting just inside the back door, forced to direct their comments and answers to the backs of many in the audience. The West Park issue is far too important not to provide adequate facilities to accommodate those seeking information. Or is the public for some reason being punished for showing up and asking questions? Ron Swift, Patterson Patterson's Past 25 years ago — July 14, 1983 West Sider Dave Hector, 26, has been selected to serve on the Stanislaus County Grand Jury. At the same time, his engagement to Jean Sell is announced. A study is under way on the proposed expansion of the county’s 40-acre Fink Road Landfill. If the proposal is approved, the landfill would expand by 219 acres. Luis Gonzales, 14, is the youngest member of the county Babe Ruth All-Star team, which will play in the upcoming Lodi tournament. 50 years ago — July 10, 1958 The Corps of Engineers has proposed construction of a major levee on both sides of the San Joaquin River from the confluence of the Merced River to the confluence of the Tuolumne. The Rev. Albert Foster has initiated a new program at the Federated Church, a Sunday evening service for Mexican nationals here temporarily for the crop harvest. 75 years ago — July 14, 1933 Patterson and Newman bakers are holding firm on the price of bread at 10 cents a loaf, though that price has recently gone up in nearby cities. Farm prices are now swinging upward. Butterfat, the foundation of the West Side’s economy, has increased from 23 to 25 cents, plus 4 cents overage and 3.5 cents for delivery to the local Libby plant, making the total price 32.5 cents. Barley and apricot prices are also rising, as is the price of eggs. Patterson’s garbage law has been upheld in Superior Court, and A.L. Watson was ordered to pay garbage collector Frank Hasek $9 for pickup. Watson claimed he did not need the service and handled his own refuse disposal. The Patterson City Council has given final approval to an ordinance covering local beer sales. Establishments with on-site consumption will pay a fee of $15 a year, with $7.50 charged to those with the beverage purchased “to go.”
