Dear editor, I must respond to the letter Ms. Guest of Comox wrote in regard to the failed hospital location at Crown Isle (Record, Sept. 30). The reasoning she puts forth is flawed.

Dear editor, Often I feel somewhat like T.S. Eliot when I contemplate the future of our world: 鈥淭his was a decent, godless people. Their only monument the asphalt road and a thousand lost golf balls.鈥�

Dear editor, What exactly was the point of Car Free Sunday?

Dear editor, I have just read the Dogwood Initiative, which reports that British Columbia is promoting the expansion of coal mining and coal exports.

Dear editor, Well, Car Free Sunday has now come and gone and those that supported it were probably quite pleased.

Dear editor, After an extensive and no doubt expensive search, a new hospital site was chosen at Crown Isle, only to be shot down because of 鈥渉eight restrictions鈥� in the vicinity of CFB Comox/YQQ. As a result, the search and the wrangling continues.

Dear editor, On Sunday, Courtenay and Cumberland took part in a global movement, closing a few streets to cars and opening them to the people.

Dear editor, Re: Car Free Sunday. Thank you to the little boy running up the middle of Fifth Street, jumping in every puddle and splashing his grandfather.
