Editor: I will state that I am a home-owning, tax-paying resident of Gibsons to satisfy those who feel this is a prerequisite to speak. In Brian K. Sadler versus “the opposition” (Letters, July 10), he writes a vivid, disjointed tirade.

Editor: Gibsons as a world heritage site is a great idea (Coast Reporter, July 17). The George sticking up in the middle of town like a sore thumb will really promote rustic appeal. Lori Edwards, Gibsons
