Re: What's new in child play at area schools! Citizen, Sept. 16. I read your story about the new playgrounds, but you didn't have the whole story. Trish Bella didn't give you all the information.

Mayor Dan Rogers is excited over the 2015 winter games, should we be? It must be nice looking at our city from a financial perspective. All you concentrate on is money.

In a world that only seems to report on the bad kids in the world, I would like to give huge praise to some truly wonderful young people from Prince George that I met this past weekend in Valemount.

I find it very interesting that in today's budget update, Mr. Hansen asked British Columbians to tell him how his party should spend the "extra cash" that BC apparently has.

This is a letter to all the irresponsible parents who think that its OK to get their young children pets without teaching them the responsibility of caring for them.

Now, I want to and generally do patronize local businesses. At times, I do so even when I know that the price I am paying is a bit higher than I might find at other retailers, especially those on the Internet.

My wife and I moved to Prince George from Hope in July of 1978. About two miles past Cache Creek we noticed a sign that someone erected that read "You Are Now Leaving the Province of British Columbia".

I have been watching the news about the "powers that be" wanting to start charging landlords if their rental property happens to be a crack shack. Before you implicate that, I would suggest first changing the land and tenant act.

OK. Enough is enough about this damned bank robber and his needs. It is so nice to see that the bleeding hearts and do-gooders in Prince George are still as vociferous and brain dead as usual.
