The devastating loss of Coquitlam grandfather Shin Noh hasn't been enough to prompt the B.C. or the federal governments to consider setting up a silver alert program, yet it seems like such a simple - and good - idea.

The Editor, Re. "Factory model is fading for B.C.'s public schools" (BC Views, The Tri-City News, Sept. 10). If, indeed, as columnist Tom Fletcher assures us, the factory model is fading for B.C.

The Editor, Re. "Clay & Royer to face off in PoMo" (The Tri-City News, Sept. 5).

A re strangers walking up to you this summer to shake hands? Well, that's because they're back - candidates on the hustings for a city hall near you.
