In response to Mr. Zerkee鈥檚 letter sent to Mayor Larry Jangula (and published in the Nov. 16 Comox Valley Record ) about the proposal to add a small cross at each end of the rainbow crosswalk, I would like to propose that you also put a pentagram next to the crosses to remind everyone of all the witches that were persecuted, burned, or hung by Christians for their Wiccan beliefs.
