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.

A vote of confidence

Dear Editor,

Only Paul speaks of Constitutional limits

Dear Editor,

I would have to agree with John Connot, that there is a slim chance that Ron Paul will get the nomination for president from the Republican Party.

Hope for continued support

Dear Editor,

As members of the Tonasket School Board, we are asking our voters to replace the expiring Maintenance and Operations Levy. Community support is crucial to our quest to provide quality programs and to maintain our facilities and grounds.

Keep Similkameen wild and beautiful

Dear Gary,

The time has come when I can no longer remain silent. My own inner voice, my conscience, will no longer allow my silent acceptance of an intolerable situation. The P.U.D. is planning the destruction of a very special place to many here in north county. I speak of Enloe Falls on the Similkameen River.

Do they really want an answer?

Dear Editor,

Since the beginnings of Christianity there have been religious wars and conflicts, Christians against Christians of different denominations – and it is still happening in many places in our world.
