Mayors Support Jackson
Dear Editor, At the last regular Mayor's meeting in August, a majority of the Stanislaus County Mayors endorsed Oakdale Mayor Farrell Jackson in his bid for re-election as Mayor of Oakdale.

Working Toward Our Goal
Dear Editor, I'm writing this on behalf of St. Mary's Life Teen group. We are so grateful to the community for all their support these past two years in our fundraising for World Youth Day to Madrid, Spain in August 2011. We are halfway to our goal. Besides our church and its wonderful volunteers, Pizza Plus, Moss Rose, Oakdale Cinema (just to name a few) have also donated to our cause on several occasions. As ...
Hospital Choice Clear
Dear Editor, I have enjoyed a life-long friendship with Louise Pooley Sanders. In fact, both of us were born in the original hospital in Oakdale. Louise is committed to the need of maintaining a community hospital for the convenience of Oakdale citizens. Her 17 years of employment at our present Oak Valley Hospital allowed her the opportunity to provide individual attention and care to a multitude of patients and their families. Louise consistently demonstrated compassion ...
Paul Has Credentials
Dear Editor, This week I read an article focusing on people building a strong community by getting to know their neighbors, by volunteering, and by participating in local government. Pat Paul, who is running for Mayor of Oakdale, has been working to build such a community as long as she has lived in Oakdale. As an active volunteer in organizations like the American Association of University Women, the Oakdale Garden Club, the Friends of the ...
Tired Of Treatment
Dear Editor, Thank you, Mr. Buck, for walking tall. One day last week I had balloons on my lawn sign on my property (off city sidewalk) and I had to witness high school group coming home, one had concealed knife and stabbed my balloons, now where are his parents? This is enough. And we laid off police officers? Sincerely, Shirley R. Beauregard
Story Getting Old
Dear Editor, I am sick and tired of Mayor Farrell Jackson demanding and receiving special treatment from the Oakdale City police and public works departments! When Farrell first took office he had a run in with the police department and up to this day it has not stopped. In my view, Mayor Farrell's worst action is the most recent development concerning one of his renters. Mayor Farrell works as a manager of the Morrow family ...
Howard Has My Vote
Dear Editor, I was thrilled to hear Jason Howard's plans to bring high tech jobs to Oakdale. Jason Howard is running for Oakdale city council, and he spoke during the candidate's debate (Sept. 30), sponsored by the Oakdale Chamber of Commerce. What will our town look like 10, 20, 50 years from now? With the recession, loss of jobs, close to 17 percent unemployment in Stanislaus County, abandoned houses, and growing blight, our town needs ...
Voice For The People
Dear Editor, I am supporting Louise Pooley-Sanders for the Oak Valley Hospital Board. Mrs. Pooley-Sanders has many years of experience in hospital management and patient advocacy. She would bring a wealth of knowledge while maintaining an unbiased presence to the hospital board. John T. Brennan, D.C
