Opinion

On behalf of the Board of Education of School District No. 57 (Prince George) I am compelled to respond to letters that appeared recently in the Prince George Citizen.

I am hoping through writing this letter that my neighbours and I might get some information on the whereabouts of cats missing in our 5th and Tabor neighborhood.

The city has released a new Clean Air Bylaw recently, which is posted on www.city.pg.bc.ca/.

In response to your "scribing" story As a fellow parent of a 10-year-old special-needs child enroled in the district, I fully agree with the parents, and find this appalling.

I just thought I would bring something to the attention of travellers. I tend to carry a Swiss Army pocket knife in my purse. It has often come in handy when there is a loose screw or something needs cutting.

This past December we were in Vancouver visiting family and friends. We had just returned from a gathering late one evening to my parents' home. We stumbled up the unlit back porch and I fished for the key.

Prince George hospital is priding itself on the addition of "university" included in its name.

This week's column is written by Chef Tony Rechsteiner, who has been a chef for 38 years. Originally from Australia, he is a Certified Chef de Cuisine (C.C.C.) and instructor in CNC's Professional Cook Program.

Todd Whitcombe As I See It Vaughn Palmer wrote a rather interesting column last week in which he pointed out the futility of the petition drive to repeal the HST. Much of what he said is perfectly accurate.
