KNOCK ON WOOD

EDITORIAL

Re: District of Sechelt satisfaction survey Editor: In response to Christine Wood’s summary in the May 16 Coast Reporter, I read the full report on the satisfaction survey of 300 Sechelt residents.

Editor: Reading Nancy Den­ham’s letter in support of the hospital name change (Coast Reporter, May 16) made me decide to voice my own support of the idea. I wholeheartedly agreed with the sentiment expressed in her letter.

Editor: Last week Paul Martiquet stated in his Health Matters column that “the first sign of Lyme disease infection is usually an expanding rash which occurs in about three-quarters of infected people.

Editor: Re: Study, think, vote (Coast Reporter letters, May 23) First of all, I readily admit that I am a supporter of The George and because I live at Armours Beach it will have virtually no effect on my view or on me personally.

Editor: I read with great interest the very open and honest article in the May 9 Coast Reporter about the trading performance for Smitty’s Oyster House.

Editor: I live on Surf Circle in Sechelt, and for the last year, my neighbours and I have been living with noise pollution, overload of traffic and, of course, many of us have lost our view. We now have tours, which brings more traffic to our street.

Editor: Teaching was once considered a noble profession. You did it because you loved the kids. Today, this idea remains embedded in the public’s mind.
