Title: The Sun names members of Reader Advisory Board
Date: August 1, 2005
Barbara Lee Harn Covey worked at a small community newspaper while attending college in the 1940s. She later edited a newspaper at Norton Air Force Base and served as an adviser of a high school newspaper.

At age 81, she is not finished with journalism. Covey and 13 others have been selected to serve on The Sun's fourth Reader Advisory Board. These community members come from many backgrounds. "The purpose of the Reader Advisory Board is to better connect with our readers,' said The Sun's Editor Steve Lambert. "This is our opportunity to pick their brains, get their feedback on what's happening in their communities and what's happening in their lives, and how we can better report on that,' he said.

Readers are diverse in terms of ethnicity and age and live in different areas of San Bernardino County. They will serve for a one-year period, attending meetings every two months. The first meeting is set for Aug. 11. Additionally, each reader will be assigned to an editor and get a chance to provide feedback.

Covey said serving on the advisory board is like doing community service. She read with interest coverage of alluvial fans in the county because she said she knows the potential hazards. A 1954 landslide on the Rancho Palos Verdes peninsula, where she lived, killed some of the children at the school where she taught. She lived in August 2005 at California.
