Dear Editor
This will be my last letter for a while. I know a lot of you readers were keeping up with my saga, but I have to let you know, this has been a very hard struggle for me as I was saying and writing things that was totally contrary to my nature,and that was very hard on my entire being. Nobody can know the agonizing feeling that the body goes through when you hate what you are doing unless they have gone through it themselves. At the Oct. 13 Cache Creek Council Meeting, I told Council “I can’t sell my house, nobody wants it because of that structure, am I supposed to stay there for 10 years, if I live that long?” Mayor Ranta said “You need to relocate and get professional help.” To me that was bullying on the Mayor’s part. After the Mayor made this wonderful remark a letter was given to me informing that they had no intentions of buying my house and good luck in selling it. I loved my home for 18 years with my view until the Mayor and Council made it into a prison for the past almost two years,now putting me in shackles preventing me from relocating as the Mayor suggested, because nobody wants my house and they refuse to buy it. As far as I am concerned that is a form of Elder Abuse for me as a 70 year old widow. My feelings for Mayor Ranta and Council is that of sorrow and pity that they have let their hearts get so hard and callous that they can’t say the words, “We made a mistake.” I’m thankful that my heart is still pliable and Heaven Forbid I have made my share of mistakes, my heart and mind are at peace because I can admit it and deal with them. I have fought the food fight as far as this Cover All conflict, now it will be in the hands of the Public Relations Team and Lawyer of their choice.

Dear Editor
I would like to respond to the recent letter posted in the paper about Ashcroft Elementary and Remembrance Day.
As a parent who is very involved with the school I applaud the principal and teachers of AES in their dedication and hard work. I see the good they do everyday when my children come home smiling and excited about what they learned earlier that day. If you were to set foot in our school and see the work they do you would also appreciate their efforts. The fact that our students did not participate in the Remembrance Day Essay is in no way a negative reflection on our students or teachers.
It also does not mean that our children are not taught the importance of Remembrance Day. There is no doubt in my mind that the children of AES are educated about the importance of Remembrance Day and will continue to be whether they participate in the essay contest or not.
My suggestion would be to give our teachers a little respect and show some common courtesy and contact the school/person directly to voice your concerns rather than post a negative letter in the local paper. I found the letter to be very unprofessional and hope more consideration would be taken in the future.
Lastly, I fully support the staff at AES because I know they have the best intentions when it comes to my children’s care and education.
