Snowmen!

December 18th, 2008, 7:25 pm by abbysewell

People have been sending us their snowman photos since Monday, and since there’s no way we can fit them all in the paper, I am posting them all here. Enjoy.

The folks at Barstow Industrial Supply had a slow day. If only this one had come in time for our contest.

I took this one, of Romey Santini, 10 (right) and Larry Garcia, 12, off of East Fredricks Street. The kids said about 15 people spent five hours Wednesday night building this giant snowman.

It may not be a snowman, but it is too cute. Krystal Lewellyn, age one and a half, in her first snow storm.

Feel free to e-mail us if you have more.

Back to blogging

Hi Barstow. I know some of you — at least three, probably — have been missing our blog. The blog has fallen into disuse in the past month, since former city editor Aaron Aupperlee headed back to Michigan, and we were operating with a news staff of one, namely me, for several weeks.

Now, however, we now have two new reporters, giving us all a little more room to breathe, and hopefully, expanding the depth of our local coverage. Video should also be making a comeback soon.

We’re in better shape, thankfully, than Tribune Co., the owner of the Los Angeles Times, which declared bankruptcy today.

Expect to hear from new reporters Charles Nguyen and Eunice Lee in the near future, as they get settled in and adjusted to the wonderful world of news in Barstow.
