I am very impressed with the Jan. 6 demonstration by Point Loma High School students in favor of their pink-slipped teachers and staffers (“Student rallies peers in support of pink-slipped PLHS teachers, staffers,” June 14
Beacon, Page 1). What a beautiful gesture! What a beautiful student body! I predict that student leader Victoria Gonzalez will go far.
As for the gophers (“City still eyeing options to rid pesky gophers,” June 14
Beacon, Page 4), my understanding from my years on the Ocean Beach Planning Board during the disappearance of the small burrowing owls at Robb Field and Dusty Rhodes Park is that city poisoning killed off the owls. Obviously, poison wasn’t the answer but was a crime. Bring back the burrowing owls! I like the idea of using barn owls, too.
