While some of you may keep your copy of the Journal around for a month or so, most magazines eventually find their way to the recycling bin. The Internet copy of the Journal, however, can float around in cyberspace forever. What that means is that 20 or 30 years from now it is certainly possible that someone doing research may want to access a back issue. If an error is published, we are now able go back and correct it. For instance, we will be correcting the spelling of Jon Martin's name in last month's cover story on Yakima.
Some errors are minor.
Others errors are more serious in nature because they reflect on the authenticity of the current restoration work in progress. We apologize for the errors. The countywide competition, began locally in 1981 by Humboldt State University Professor William Tanner, challenges K-12 students to research and creatively document local history. In the past, students wrote reports, acted out plays or created displays that interpreted historical events. This year, Northcoast Internet is teaming up with the Humboldt County Office of Education and others to expand the media options available to students to include the opportunity to create web pages on the Internet.
