Jeers to the person who took a senior’s purse at the Canal Flats Bingo on November 7th. You know who you are. You’ve had over a week to return it or you can leave it where it can be found with all of her personal papers in it.

Dear Editor:
What does “Prosperity. It’s in our nature,” mean to me? To live in a just and generous society that gives its citizens the tools to thrive in a sustainable way.
That’s why I’m voting for Paul Denchuk. And please don’t let apathy take hold of you. People worldwide are literally dying for the right to vote.

Jeers to the two girls and their comments during the DTSS Remembrance Day assembly. Laughing and making comments like “This is stupid” and “Why should we do 2 minutes of silence, what did they do for us?” Are not okay and were definitely overheard.
