Gun violence? Try Hollywood & video games
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, With all the talk going on about gun control, which has been going on for years, our Vice President Joe Biden and his committee of critics set up in their little circle discussing what to do or not knowing what to do is simply amazing. What about all those "bang bang" shoot up videos that the young people enjoy playing every day? What about all the "bang bang" shoot ...
Is it really about stopping the killing of children?
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, Planned Parenthood (proudly) says they performed (killed) 333,000 (children) abortions in 2011. That means the American abortion industry, with the blessing of the United States Supreme Court and our government, commits the equivalent of thousands upon thousands of Sandy Hook mass murders every year. Add the yearly death toll of victims killed, maimed and/or injured yearly by drunk drivers, I just have to wonder why the government, ...
Riley’s family appreciates community outpouring
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, On Nov. 29, Gina and I took our daughter Riley to an eye appointment and our lives were changed forever. As you can imagine, her diagnosis left us completely shocked and devastated. Then something truly amazing happened. We started hearing stories of our friends, family, and community rallying around us and offering love, hope, and support in ways and volumes that we could never have imagined. I can't ...
American know have a much thinner wallet
Every American will have a thinner wallet in 2013 due to tax increases and Obamacare.
Manteca turns streets dark with new lights
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, I am writing you to let you know about the horrible new street light bulbs they are replacing with the old in our neighborhood by Joshua Cowbell School. I will be giving the city a call tomorrow to ask them "what are they thinking?" Our whole neighborhood is basically in the dark with the new dim LED lighting. It makes the neighborhood look like a ghost town. I can't see the neighbor ...
Let’s make the lights work at Atherton and South Main
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, It's been close to a month since the City of Manteca turned on the blinking red street lights at the intersection of South Main and Atherton Drive. It's time to make the lights work and improve traffic flow. The Bulletin reported the city wanted the traffic lights to blink so the drivers were use to them and use to stopping. Guess what? Drivers were already use to stopping at the four-way stop ...
Manteca has wonderful variety of good restaurants
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, Regarding "Manteca is a joke when it comes to eating out" – I have found Manteca to have a wonderful variety of good to great restaurants. Isadore's has been a family-run business in Manteca for over 20 years. The sophisticated atmosphere and menu are comparable to a Bay Area restaurant…always a treat, especially for family celebrations or Sunday brunch. There's also a new upscale place I've already heard ...
Manteca is a joke when it comes to eating out
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, I have lived here in Manteca for going on 15 years with no decent restaurants. The five McDonalds do not count. You can spin this anyway you want (and you sure do), but Manteca is a joke for eating out. If you really want to do something for this town, bring something like a Farmer Boys to the Kohl's shopping center. It is perfect - good consistent ...
We can have the same peace offered 2,000 years ago
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, As you look ahead to 2013, are you concerned about the prospects for peace? Most folks are right in saying we find no peace among men. We see no peace between nations, only more war next year. All this is evident, when you read the daily headlines on the front page of any U.S. newspaper. So take a shopping break today, and read in your Bible of the first Christmas. Please read ...
Fiscal cliff is all about one man welding power
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, Watching the waste of time in Washington on the news about this debt ceiling and fiscal cliff is just wearing me out. My liberal coffee shop friends think the Republicans are the problem. This vote is not about the cliff, the debt or anything to do solving our money problems. This vote is about one thing - power. The guy in the White House has attached to the bill the power of ...
Might as well blame it on the ozone
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, There have been many opinions on why a heinous act of major proportions was committed at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Ct., and what to do about it. They range from the reasonable to the ridiculous. The "whys" range from mental health care shortcomings to a gun culture gone wild to the lack of prayer in public schools, to violent movies and video games. The "cures" range from maybe doing something ...
Contends Manteca growth doesn’t pay its own way
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, A bit more background is needed to three recent representations regarding The City of Manteca's foot dragging on crosswalks, whether to water the "free" trees along the highways, and the nexus of (city) fees. In all cases the core issue is the lack of funds when responding to a community need, to carry on a project, or setting fees. In the 1970s balancing the budget was a slight bump; in the 1980s, ...
Appreciative of extra care by fire, ambulance crews
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, I would like to thank the crew from Manteca Fire as well as the crew from Manteca District Ambulance that responded to aid my father on the night of Dec. 16. My dad was in respiratory distress that night, and I called 911 for help. The dispatcher stayed on the line with me while the units were en route. Based on the time of night, and the fact that we live on ...
