It would also be helpful if the hours of this route could be extended to cover the opening hours of both the Community Centre and the Memorial Arena.
Since the Community Centre/Memorial Arena complex is such a much visited place, it makes sense for it to be the transit hub for the north end of the city as Cherry Lane and Peachtree are for the south of the city. Brian Butler
Penticton thumb – curtailed drinking water and electricity; homes that have been bombed excessively over the last 50 years; bombed hospitals and schools; practically no access to the outside world; and the list goes on.
The latest curtailment from there, however, tells of the shameful control Israel has over the Gazans – condoms will no longer be allowed to enter Gaza.
Apparently, the Palestinians have been using gas-filled party balloons attached to kites to set fire to fields on the Israeli side of the border. Thus, the new regulation – no more kite material, no more balloons, no more condoms. Frank Martens
Summerland they never veer from inner values, even when it might benefit them to do so. A leader must have the trust of followers. This requires the highest standard of integrity.
Confidence: Having confidence in a political leader is about having faith or belief that he or she will act in a right, proper, or effective way. A good political leader needs to be both confident in himself or herself as well as in their ability to lead. Leaders who possess this quality inspire others, drawing on a level of trust which sparks the motivation to get others on board and get the job done.
Flexibility: Flexibility for a political leader is about understanding the give-and-take aspects of politics, and the ability to find the common ground. Good politicians listen carefully to all sides, to not only hear their arguments but to especially learn what it will take on behalf of all parties involved to reach a consensus
I strongly urge you to consider these traits before the upcoming election so that candidates that are successful will not disappoint as in the past. Ron Barillaro Penticton
