My son attended the March 6 Cougars/Thunderbirds hockey game with his grandparents. Matyas was so excited when a Seattle player pointed him out for the big stuffed animal he was giving away at the end of the game.

Let's stop kidding ourselves. No one is going to give up cars, trucks, powerboats, planes, helicopters, ski-doos, etc., so we might as well quite posturing about the Enbridge pipeline and the oilsands.

Dear Mr. Abbott, Until recently I have thought of you as a fair-minded person, however your stance on the teacher contract problem has made me question this. I am really appalled at the priorities of your government. The amount you spent on the B.C.

To the emergency response teams of Prince George, B.C.: My family and I were involved in a off-road vehicle rollover on Highway 16 W near Telachick Road on March 4 at 11:43 p.m.

As the old adage goes, "hindsight is 20/20," and this hindsight often reveals new truths and understandings we did not see beforehand. From this perfect vision hindsight, the West should be learning from past mistakes, but we are not.

I am so embarrassed with the local support of the Prince George Cougars. The support in the initial years filled the new arena and the team returned the support with great hockey.

Over the years (since they stopped dredging the mouth of the Nechako) the river mouth has grown wider and shallower. Boats with props have tried to plow a channel through to the Fraser but have given up.

Every day we are bombarded with teachers claiming they are underpaid and the government claiming they must practice restraint.

Not that long ago the B.C. Liberal government gave themselves a huge pay increase, without any debate in the House, regardless of the sagging economic conditions which were caused by their failed policies since they came to power in 2001.
