I appreciate Betsy Marston echoing my concerns (“A little paper with clout,” September 2020) about HCN as stated in my letter to the editor last month. She encapsulates my feelings by saying: “Sometimes I don’t get why we do a story, because I want it to connect to the land and everything that goes on. That’s what makes us unique. ... Why wouldn’t we keep our base, stay with our core and radiate from the core?” Bravo! I do hope her wisdom, experience and knowledge is heeded.
