Loved the baskets

Needs to be a way to review politicians
Dear Sir: Not only local citizens but visiting tourists wonder who is responsible for the beautiful flowering hanging baskets that adorn Terrace’s downtown streets. The hanging baskets are the hard work of Wanda Friesen (Skeena Valley Resources) who has worked many long hours this summer keeping the baskets looking so amazingly beautiful.

The hanging baskets are financed by the City of Terrace, the Terrace Downtown Improvement Association and individual businesses. Once again, a big thank you, Wanda, for a job well done. Yvonne Moen, Doris Scott, and many others in the community, Terrace, B.C.

mance (not listening to the people who pay their wages) with no other recourse, no financial ‘penalty’ for that person? What would happen if an annual performance review of elected officials would be implemented, would it improve the system? It just might make them more ‘honest’ and have them listening to the people who pay their salaries and benefits, all of us taxpayers! But after this election and the changes in government there maybe implementation of changes like this and others. Martin Holzbauer, Thornhill, B.C.
