LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

"In 2008, the City of Riverside hired William P. Malone to manage the Fox Theater. Since then, it has been proven that Malone has failed to efficiently manage the FOX at a huge loss to the City's taxpayers.

"Malone has been arrogant and dismissive to both the public and the press. The signs were evident when at the FOX grand opening, Malone banned the local press from covering the event.

"The City should have taken notice then, and ultimately take responsibility for hiring an inept operational manager like William P. Malone.

"Donald Herman Collins Gallegos,
Riverside, California."

Two contract extensions were given to this arrogant, rude, and incapable Operator, despite people's outcry. The Truth.

Down with Malone at the Fox Theater

A very strong message was delivered at the City Council meeting of May 15, 2012, against the Operator of the Fox Theater, William Malone.

William Malone, Operator
of the  Fox Theater. He has
been a public relations
disaster.

Our publisher used the podium to condemn a situation that has been negative for the City of Riverside.

"In January 2010, something very especial happened in Riverside: The gala for the opening of the restored Fox Theater.

"I personally had the privilege to be invited to the gala by the former City Manager Brad Hudson. What a night!

"Ladies and gentlemen dressing with elegance, pomp and circumstances, life music, giant chandeliers illuminating impressively decorated ceiling and walls, the spirit of God Baco (cocktails) making the attendants happier, a soft and beautiful red carpet telling 'You are welcome,' to everybody.

"I never was so proud to be a Riversider.

"But some black clouds were engulfing the gorgeous and historic building on Market and Mission Avenue. The operator of the Fox Theater was and is an anti-social individual, who shows no respect for others, including the press.

"William Malone refused to answer phone calls and requests for interviews and information. He was and he is rude, even with executives of the entertainment world. The Press-Enterprise complained. The Truth Publication complained. Councilman Paul Davis complained.

"Now, finally, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. It has been published that Mister Malone's contract won't be renewed in 2013. Another year of rudeness and lack of brains.

"We all expect the new operator will be a good public relations executive. We all expect that he or she will treat the people of Riverside as we deserve. We all expect that he or she will establish a good relationship with the press, which is the way to have free promotions, free publicity, free advertisements."

Against the Death Penalty


If there is a profound controversial subject in this world, the one of the death penalty is at the top. Religions, philosophers, law enforcement agencies, science, governments, common people have different opinions.

The Roman Catholic Church, since about 20 years ago, opposes the death penalty. They believe that is not a detergent because the persons who are going to kill others will do it with or without  death penalty. They also look at the statistics showing that many injustices has been committed by states executing individuals that years later DNA demonstrates they were innocent. The Fifth Commandment states, "Don't Kill." Most of the people sentenced to death are poor; the rich can hire expensive lawyers who are brilliant and can save lives.

Those who oppose the death penalty argue that sometimes executions are cruel punishments because defective means of death. There are, according to the latest statistics, 14 states that don't have death penalty in the U.S. and 36 that do, including California. Although, those sentenced to death in CA spend about 15 or 17 years in prison before they are executed. "If a person kills another, and the state kills the perpetrator, what is the difference?" they allege. A Governor of a state that enforces the death penalty can spare the lives of convicted criminals.

In Favor of the Death Penalty

In the U.S., since 1977 through 2009, 1,188 people were executed  primarily by means of lethal injection. Most death penalty cases involve the execution of murderers although capital punishment can also be applied for treason, espionage, and other crimes.

Proponents of the death penalty say it is an important tool for preserving law and order, deters crime, and costs less than life imprisonment. They argue that retribution or "an eye for an eye" honors the victim, helps console grieving families, and ensures that the perpetrators of heinous crimes never have an opportunity to cause future tragedy.

Don't listen to anyone who tells you that you can't do this or that. That's nonsense. Make up your mind you'll never use crutches or a stick, then have a go at everything...never, never let them persuade you that things are too difficult or impossible.
