To make it easier readers to share your suggestions, you’re encouraged to stop by between 2 and 3 p.m. the first Friday of the month — this month, that’s Friday, Nov. 6 — for “Front Porch Friday.” I’ll be on the front porch to hear your ideas and talk about how The

Cambrian can better serve the community.

This month, it’s also an opportunity to bring to our attention Cambria candidates for The Tribune’s annual “Unsung Heroes” features. As Thanksgiving approaches, we think it’s especially appropriate to honor those who use their energy and skills to help others.

But we need your help. We’re looking for residents of San Luis Obispo County who go out of their way to help others — through

volunteer service or by rising to the occasion in an emergency, for example — and who seek nothing material in return. Such individuals rarely receive widespread attention. They’re simply pleased with the satisfaction that comes from doing such good deeds.

If you know someone who fits this description — a friend, neighbor, teacher or committed volunteer — please let us know. You can e-mail us at cambrian@thetribune news.com or letters@thetrib unenews.com (with the subject Unsung Heroes). Explain why you believe your nominee is an Unsung Hero and let us know how to reach you. Or come by Friday! — Bert Etling

About comments

Reader comments on SanLuisObispo.com are the opinions of the writer, not The Tribune. If you see an objectionable comment, click the "report abuse" button below it. We will delete comments containing inappropriate links, obscenities, hate speech, and personal attacks. Flagrant or repeat violators will be banned. See more about comments here.

What you should know about comments on SanLuisObispo.com

SanLuisObispo.com is happy to provide a forum for reader interaction, discussion, feedback and reaction to our stories. However, we reserve the right to delete inappropriate comments or ban users who can't play nice. See our full terms of service here.

Here are some rules of the road:

Keep your comments civil. Don't insult one another or the subjects of our articles. If you think a comment violates our guidelines click the "report abuse" button. Responding to the comment will only encourage bad behavior.
Don't use profanities, vulgarities or hate speech. This is a general interest news site. Sometimes, there are children present. Don't say anything in a way you wouldn't want your own child to hear.
Do not attack other users; focus your comments on issues, not individuals.
Stay on topic. Only post comments relevant to the article at hand. If you want to discuss an issue with a specific user, click on his profile name and leave him a public message.
Do not copy and paste outside material into the comment box.
Don't repeat the same comment over and over. We heard you the first time.
Do not use the commenting system for advertising. That's spam and it isn't allowed.
Don't use all capital letters. That's akin to yelling and not appreciated by the audience.

You should also know that The Tribune does not screen comments before they are posted. You are more likely to see inappropriate comments before our staff does, so we ask that you click the "report abuse" button to submit those comments for moderator review. You also may notify us via email at webmaster@sanluisobispo.com. Note the headline on which the comment is made and tell us the profile name of the user who made the comment. Remember, comment moderation is subjective. You may find some material objectionable that we won't and vice versa.

If you submit a comment, the username of your account will appear along with it. Users cannot remove their own comments once they have submitted them, but you may ask our staff to retract one of your comments by sending an email to webmaster@sanluisobispo.com. Again, make sure you note the headline on which the comment is made and tell us your profile name.
