Celebrating 4th of July on July 3 is almost un-American
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, How can the Bulletin sit back and let the idiots who run Manteca have a Fourth of July (Independence Day) celebration on the third of July? In my eyes that degrades and disrespects the whole meaning of why we celebrate. If they want to have a party on the third, that's OK, but don't call it an Independence Day celebration because IT IS NOT! What a bunch of idiots in city hall ...
Get rid of upper crust and keep the teachers
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, I read your paper about the Manteca Unified School District laying off teachers. It appears that the teachers are to blame for all our problems. Teachers are the backbone of our nation and are responsible for our future. All it takes to have a school teachers and children. It helps to have a meeting place. The school district does not need a castle for the executives, councilors and other non-teachers. Get rid ...
SOS to seniors
Editor, Manteca Bulletin The object of my communication is to maybe be somewhat informative regarding volunteers in the local schools. I have been volunteering in a local Manteca Unified School District school for a few years now and so speak with some experience and knowledge. Being a senior citizen, I learned early on that either I could do what senior citizens often do and spend time with other senior citizens, or I could work as ...

Kids are going to struggle due to budget cuts
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, Usually I read your column and don't think much about the content. I generally think you sometimes write things that are your opinions, but not necessarily the truth. Of course, that is your right, but it doesn't mean you are correct. I was reading your article in Tuesday morning's paper about how you think teachers are lowering the standards and convincing kids they are going to fail in school by stating the ...
MUSD tiff: Separate fiction from facts
Editor Manteca Bulletin, I, for one am a person who despises the waste in the Manteca Unified School District or any other government agency, but we do not need rumors going around that are treated as facts. For those of you who wish to criticize the MUSD, stick to the facts like: 1) work books and other material that is not used by a teacher. 2) One or two aides in a room with a ...
Don’t expect rough time for Madoff
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, Bernie Madoff will very likely follow in the same dubious steps as other super rich criminals that have lived in luxury while in prison; many mafia chiefs (which had only a fraction of what Madoff has) were able to bribe wardens and guards so lavishly that their accommodations were very unprison-like at all. Including specially prepared food and delicacies, plushy furnishings, alcohol and drugs, women and every extra privilege imaginable; anything money ...
Frank Aquila doesn’t know his American history
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, Once again Frank Aquila has shown he doesn't know his American history. Francis Scott Key was not a lawyer for the colonies and not involved in the revolutionary war. Mr. Aquila did get one fact right, Mr. Key did write the words but he had the wrong war, and the circumstances that he mentioned were totally fabricated. Once again I suspect he hit the internet without checking his facts. In reality it ...
Emergency crews keep going wrong directions
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, We live at the corners of Airport Way and Woodward Avenue. I cannot count how many times emergency vehicles turn right on Woodward, and then 30 seconds later return and all go another direction. They are losing precious seconds by these errors. I know it cannot be just the Fire Department (city of county), or just the ambulance responders, or just the law enforcement (Police or Sheriff's) who get their directions wrong ...
Do we understand our national anthem?
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, We hear our national anthem before ballgames and other functions: but do we understand the words that we sing? Francis Scott Key, who wrote this famous song, was a lawyer for the American Colonies during the Revolutionary War. He went to the British to negotiate the release of American prisoners from the British. On an appointed day, he met with British officials on a British ship and an agreement was reached to ...
Veterans & terrorism: An American issue
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, This is response to Ms Mulvhill's letter concerning Ms Winston's son who is in the Marines. To start with, the person who wished death on Ms Winston's son has a warm place in hell reserved for him. I cannot imagine why anyone in their right mind would wish something like death on any one, but especially a young man who volunteered to risk his life for his country. I do take issue ...
Just who are all of those fringies anyway?
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, After my last letter to the Editor was published (Who speaks for the Republican Party?) Thursday, June 18, which included an exercise where a player makes a list of well known Fringe personalities such as Rush Limbaugh and a list of local Fringe members then draws a line from one member on one list to the other which most resembles that member, two responses appeared on these pages. The first response, (Republicans ...
Police need to ticket all without front license plates
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, I received a ticket (P 89330) on June 20 for a missing front license plate (true). The part I consider harassment is that other vehicles in my area, also missing front plates, were not ticketed. I also went to City Hall and found at least six city employee vehicles missing front plates. So if this is a money grab, they are missing quite a few in their own area (I did record ...
We need bigger animal facility before a dog park
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, It is beyond my comprehension to think that both Manteca and Lathrop have chosen to neglect the small dog facility on Wetmore Street, in lieu of spending thousands on a dog park. Rose Albano Risso wrote an article on Lathrop's new dog park. I wouldn't be commenting on this, if Lathrop didn't share our small outdated animal facility. While Lathrop and Manteca spend money in this manner, hundreds of dogs are put ...
Friends of Jowell Griggs appreciate community support
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, On behalf of Jowell Griggs and her family, we want to thank the community for their participation in the Evening of Appreciating Jowell Griggs, which was held on Friday, June 12 at Delicato Family Vineyards Winery. The event was a huge success. Thanks to such strong community support we were able to raise over $3,800. The evening began with appetizers and good company; hosted a fun auction; and culminated with a ...
