Silly season has started

It may be only May, but the silly season has started. For those of you new to the lingo, the silly season is the lead-up to an election - in this case, the municipal elections set for November.

Can it get any worse?

Two weeks ago I penned an editorial about the ongoing vandalism and destruction of the Gibsons skatepark in Brothers Park.

Minister Christiansen let me down

This will be my last column for Coast Reporter before I drive into the wild blue yonder, across the length of Canada ending on my daughter's doorstep in Halifax.

The level of senseless vandalism and graffiti in the Town of Gibsons is starting to take its toll on Town council and staff.

It never ceases to amaze me what a talented community we have. We have people who are conversant in so many arts they make my jaw drop in sheer envy. Sometimes, though, I wonder if we value these people enough.

It was a scene no paramedic, police officer or firefighter wants to attend. A red Ford Escort had collided head-on with a white, late-model Oldsmobile sedan. Beer cans and pieces of twisted metal lay on the ground beside the broken-up vehicles.
