Letters to the Editor

Thank a volunteer

Dear Editor,

As new managers of the Camaray Motel, last year my wife and I simply watched the May Festival parade and played host to the many guests who use the weekend as a homecoming. But this year, now that I am the president of the Chamber of Commerce, I jumped in and helped with the Chamber BBQ….

Thankful for the experience

Dear Editor,

On April 30 Clayton Emry and I were on the Honor Flight to Washington, D.C. This was quite an experience especially for me.

Resigning from school board

Dear Editor,

To the community: I am a man of principles. I hold honesty, truth, integrity and obeying the law to a high standard. I only see right or wrong, black or white. There is no middle ground.

Tonasket’s CCC has it all

Dear Editor,

Saturday, April 14th brought Flamenco music and dancing to the Community Cultural Center in Tonasket. I am so glad the Gazette-Tribune was there to take pictures to show the people in Okanogan County the kind of entertainment we are bringing to the Center.

Aesthetics great, yet insignificant

Dear Gary,

If $10,000 is “toilet paper” how big is the budget? While the (Oroville) school is getting a new reader board for $32,000, which is by no means “toilet paper.” I am curious about the politics that are being discussed.

World class presentation

Dear Gary,

Kinross is doing it AGAIN!! Their geologists are presenting another class through North Valley Community Schools on geologic formations in the Okanogan and principals of mineral deposit formations.

Board chairman should resign

Dear Gary,

Your opinion piece in the most recent edition of the Gazette-Tribune brought up a valid point regarding the Oroville School board and chairperson Mr. Phil Barker in particular.

Keep Peerless exterior the same

Dear Gary,

‘What a thankful thing, to at last have an additional restaurant on Main Street again. I welcome this new business and wish the owners all the success possible.

Don’t cut Critical Access

Dear Editor,

Here is a copy of a letter I sent to our representatives in Olympia and I think more people in the community should be aware that Tonasket’s North Valley Hospital is a Critical Access hospital and may face severe cuts if this budget cut is enacted. I encourage members of the community to act as I did.

Grateful for levy vote

Dear Editor,

During these difficult economic times, the Tonasket School Board is heartened by the continued commitment of voters to the children of Tonasket and its surrounding communities. Their approval of a two-year maintenance and operations levy shows these precious children how very important their education is to their future and to ours. Strong schools benefit the community in numerous ways, and a solid partnership between schools and community is better for all.
