RE: Long-gun registry only start of license abolition, Sept.

Premier Campbell is now reluctantly promising a referendum on the HST, a piece of legislation which should never have been implemented.

On Aug. 28, two friends and I were involved in a motor vehicle accident near Bednesti Lake, Highway 16. After leaving the road, we struck a hydro pole and then overturned. The truck caught fire and eventually was entirely destroyed.

Re: Dunster announcement at School Board meeting. The announcement at the school board meeting Tuesday night that the board had sold the closed Dunster school to a parent-led education society created a unique situation in recent B.C. history.

I really sympathize with the promoter who lost out. I am a homeowner and the value of my property and hundreds of other property owners in the VLA are substantially reduced by the activities of drugs and the gang members that orchestrate this.

I felt the citizens of Prince George should be aware of yet another area where the HST is causing great concern. I volunteer at the Elder Citizens Centre on 10th Avenue.

We read the letter from Leilani Matusza. We are also experiencing a similar situation here at Huber Farm Equipment. Telus has been performing work on Upper Mud River Road over the past few months upgrading phone lines to the new poles.

What's with the rusty things in the Gateway across the street from the new accommodations for the seniors. Looks like a rusty mess to me.

Re: Todd Whitcombe column. Really, Todd, I thought you were more intelligent than that. To believe the RCMP is fair over the long gun registry is the same as believing they are fair when they're investigating themselves.

Todd Whitcombe erroneously compares gun licensing in Canada, to that of dogs, drivers, cars, etc. None of those things are so enshrined in federal law as is gun licensing and registration.
