Dear Editor : I think Raul Legaspi who wrote a letter to the editor about building a bus depot out at the old Pacific Shooter's Rifle Range doesn't know what he is talking about. First off, it's way too far out to make it a reasonable bus depot.

Dear Editor: Friday morning was much like any other. Eat breakfast, read the newspaper, walk the dog. As I left the house, I saw two skunks waddle rather quickly toward me from our neighbour's yard. One of the skunks had a jam jar stuck on his head.

Dear Editor: Re. Gambier Woodlots Put on Hold, July 2 I own the existing woodlot on Gambier Island. My family first came to Gambier in 1912 and I moved to Gambier from North Vancouver in 1968. Everyone said I was nuts to come to Gambier.
