Because the beaver isn't just an animal; it's an ecosystem!

Tag: Rick Jones


This isn’t strictly Beaver News but I’m going to go out on a limb and say the Martinez Beavers could never have existed without the Gazette that first promoted them. This a great report from KQED on its demise which I think is profoundly relevant and worth sharing.

I learned to read making out letters from the headlines on my dad’s lap. Now I am a mere 54 years young and the Gazette has been part of my life as early as I can remember. because my mom worked there once I started preschool. In fact when I started Kindergarten it was on Jones street which was the very same one the Gazette office was located on. Early in September I terrified her by ditching the neighbor and walking all the way to her office by myself at age 4. She had left for the day so I then had to walk home. I think today that it is stunning that nobody insisted on driving me or called the police.

54 years is a long time. But it’s pretty dam humbling to think the paper existed for an entire century century before that.
