Letters to the Editor

More than 360,000 Ontarians are part of the Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement System (OMERS). They pay into this plan and rely on it for their future livelihood.

I guess election fever is so thick in the air that Councillor Lynne Reynolds got confused. I guess she can be forgiven, what with her deep ties to the federal Liberal party. She used to work for Dianne Marleau.

I would like to thank Northern Life for the great coverage of the Fifth Annual Out Of The Cold Concert which featured Tanglefoot. The three concert fall series and the annual show raised $7,863.36 for the hot meal program.

Ray and Donna Boyer of Thumbs Up Marketing deserve two thumbs up for their Fall Lifestyle Home Show at the Exhibition Centre, Oct. 14-16.

The Valley Community Theatre wishes to apologize to the audience for the delays due to the fire alarms during our recent presentation of VIVA Las Vegas. We very much appreciated their support and patience until things finally got under way.

I know that you have been very busy since I wrote you Feb. 7 on the matter of David Emerson's defection to the Conservative Party, so I was not expecting a reply. However, there has been sufficient time for Emerson to submit his resignation.

It was with great interest I read Bill Bradley's article in the April 16 issue of Northern Life. He purchased my father's home, and it was a real surprise to see a photo of it when I turned the pages of the newspaper.

Ah, spring is in the air, birds are everywhere and .....garbage is everywhere.Wasn't it great how all that snow hid everything.

Humankind's most underused and misunderstood invention is the garbage can. Smokers, coffee and pop drinkers evade them like the plague. Instead we can see many volunteers at work in our city.

With regards to the story, Energuide program axed by feds, I am writing in response to Nickel Belt MP Ray Bonin's comments regarding the future of FedNor in Northern Ontario.
