Springtime in Penticton
Dear Editor: It’s springtime in Penticton (I think) and I’d like to do a couple of shout outs to some people that have really impressed my family, neighbours and friends.
1. City of Penticton’s electrical utility management and crews.Thank you ever so much for accepting my 50/50 cost share proposal for an extra street lamp in our hood. Everyone was very impressed with how timely and professionally the proposal was dealt with. I am also very happy to report that werewolf sightings in the area have been diminished greatly.
2. Penticton Golf and Country Blue Heron Restaurant. Thank you for helping make the most memorable Mothers Day breakfast experience in my recent memory. The table was ready on time and clearly marked for my party and service staff executed all of our requests with military procession. The elevator was a big hit for Papa and he actually had a very nice time. Ron, the food was amazing and the selection/value was second to none. My picky niece even chowed down pretty enthusiastically.
In closing to my fellow Pentictonites, spring is right around corner along with better weather and I trust you all will have a most enjoyable safe summer. Peace out. Daniel Pontes Penticton play by the rules of democracy and transparency.
Nelson Meikle supporters are saddened by his passing so suddenly. He gave it his all. “You do the math,” as he would always say.
Another quote from Nelson: “We must protect all our parks for our children’s/grandchildren’s future.”
Isn’t that the truth! The show will go on.
It isn’t over! Lou Sloboda Penticton seconded and carried unanimously at their Nov. 15 meeting.
Would it be possible for the citizens of Penticton to chip in for hearing aids for all members of Penticton city council?
Our concerns are falling on deaf ears! Helen Trevors Penticton more consumerism.
The finance minister states the pension institutions have been lobbying for years for fiscal ways to have long-term secure investments. I hope that the Canadian pension institutions avoid buying into and investing in unpredictable public infrastructures. Bruce Alton McGillis
Penticton many of the young people, including myself, took a keen interest in politics way back then?
I scratch my head when I read a child is a child until the age of 19 yet many of these children are getting special treatment after committing crimes of all sorts. I believe most young people from my day never gave a thought that many politicians could be so corrupt and self-serving.
It amazes me that so many of us can be screwed by so few.
As children living in an orphanage, we were to be seen and not heard and speak only when spoken to.
However, I do remember Premier WAC Bennett and Highways Minister Flying Phil Gaglardi who were political fixtures for 20 years and did much good for B.C.
As I grew older, I soon realized that politics at all levels stinks and the many mistakes made the pile behind the political barn bigger and bigger placing the public up to their neck in doo-doo.
One day the idea will shine bright, erase the entire boardof incompetence, get rid of the horse and buggy thinking, rewrite the Constitution, get rid of the entire bunch of free-loading porkers and set sail for a new Canada as it too can be here today and gone tomorrow as the gates are now wide open. We have no one to blame but ourselves for the future we will be leaving our children. Tom Isherwood Olalla
