A8 - The Terrace Standard, Wednesday, October 3, 2001 Dear Sir: As a new resident of your Tongue-lashing stunned her | 4! CORRESPONDENCE FOR THE TERRACE STANDARD ey whose chain had come off his bike and had fet- fine town, 1 was taken aback by the somewhat nasty ap- proach of an elderly resident. With all that has been hap- pening in the world today, this woman felt the need to stop me, after [ had parked my car, to sarcastically berate me for my failure to use my indicator twice.

Nat only did she scold me as if [ was a child (far from the case) but continued by threatening to report me to the police if she saw me do it (cr should | say fail ta do it) again. I agree that I had failed to use my indicators but was shocked mostly into speechlessness by her nasty and un- friendly approach, thinking that after that; the last thing I wanted 1o do was use my indicator just to spite her. After my anger at being treated this way abated, I realized that during that day I had held doors open for people young and old alike, 1 had helped a young boy Leave decisions to the locals Dear Sir: . A petition by a Victoria mushroom picker calling for a stop to planned logging in the Ritchie area takes away the livelihood of people who live here year-round and doesn’t make sense. The prime fungus producing areas around Cedarvale, Ritchie C.N, station, and Quill Creek are well known to those who have lived in Cedarvale all of their lives. They also know there was logging in the areas long before out of town people discovered the area as their prime mushroom producing area. The fungus (pine mush- room) was there before Japan and Korea introduced the product ta the people here. Now there are more and more people rushing into this Punk show highlights our youth Dear Sir: I commend the people responsible for the punk rock show held at the Carpenter’s Hall Sept. 16. 1, along with my son, attended this event which, from my perspective, was a complete success. The show was an opportunity to highlight the talents of local, young musicians and a band from Edmonton. It was gratifying to see the youth of our community come tagether and listen to original songs written by their peers and revel in an event that appeared to be orga- Smile and Whitening By Dr. Zucchiatti ADENT DENTAL CLINIC Phone: 635-2552 4623 Lakelse Avenue, Terrace Mon-Fri © 8:00 am ~ 5:00 pm The Mail Bag Y Dr. Joe Zucchiatti 20 years of mercury-free dentistry Compe nee Fouriding member. and treasurer ° of the Western Canadian’ Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry General Practitioner Providing services in: Mercury-free white fillings Teeth Whitening Porcelain Veneers and Crowns Microabrasion Dentistry (No drilling, no freezing) Hygiene and Preventive Care Intra-oral camera assisted Diagnosis For your comfort, we have overhead televisions and headsets.

[ am inclined to tell that individual if I were ever to see her again, to give her head a shake and re-evaluate her values and life before she should be taking the role af the judge. Our world is full of too much hate to have to deal with that level of pettiness. To err is human, and I apo- jogize only for being human. By the way, I do use my indicators but had been dis- tracted that day by greater events in the world.

There are now a majority of people out of work and the people with this petition are anly here two months of the year. They will be all gone, maybe, back to their jobs wherever they come from. : This is maddening for those who live here. Some out of town mushroom pickets have no respect for the pri- vate properties and don’t care what they leave behind in the forests, Leave the decision making to those who live here. We don’t go to Victoria or where ever and tell you how to live. 52 litre bag 17” PLASTIC Mary Dalen, Cedarvale, B.C, nized by the youth themselves. I think it would be great to see this paper commit the same amount of coverage to events like this as it does for the music festival and cuts to band in the school sys- tem. The problem being that the latter focuses on the musical abilities of our youth within a narrow framework. GRAHAM AVE ANSWER SOIL BUILDER SALE PRICE ‘§.49 ea. LA Sate PRICE *S5.
