Going ‘green’ will cause great economic harm to US
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, The doom and gloom predictions are out in force again. Remember when the predictions were for $300 per barrel of oil was all the rage? Now we have the predictions for over 10% unemployment which will last until after 2010. Housing prices are predicted to fall some more. The Obama White House is predicting a slow recovery that will change very little until after 2011. Whenever a Republican writer expresses their ...
I wouldn’t trade my gay daughter for a straight daughter
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, I want to thank you on the column that you wrote in reference to the young man who "admitted" he was gay. I did notice what the article had stated. I was upset as it sounded like it was a bad thing to be gay. The writer of that article sounds like they have issues with gays. I have a 20-year-old daughter who is gay. I have watched my daughter grow up ...
Dia De Los Ninos event was success
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, The Manteca Branch Library hosted a Dia De Los Ninos celebration on May 2, 2009. Despite rainy weather it was a wonderful time for everyone involved. A grant from Target stores funded many aspects of the event including free books for every child who attended. Entertainment included a special Storytime and Ballet Folklorico Autlense under the direction of Dorio Del Rio courtesy of the P.L.A.Y. Multicultural Arts Network In addition many groups ...
Break the cycle vote ‘no’ on all propositions
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, One of the classic definitions of insanity is repeating the same action or process and expecting a different result. Following this premise, our continual practice of electing career politicians becomes, by definition, an act of insanity. At what point do we finally wake up and say "enough is enough"? Anyone paying attention surely has noticed that the major political parties have only one overriding interest in mind – the furtherance of their ...
Commends police chief, officers for cutting crime & expenditures
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, I personally commend the police department for its efforts in reducing crime in Manteca. Chief Dave Bricker and his staff of officers have streamlined the department for maximum efficiency with less personnel. By doing so, Chief Bricker saved the city a bundle of money. This man doesn't care about recognition, for he does it to save the people of Manteca tax money. He is working with an understaffed department and still manages ...

Also the staff and nurses at Doctors Hospital of Manteca. We knew he was really ...
Finds service, prices better in Manteca
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, Who hasn't heard "shop local and support local business?" But we have been taught that shopping the internet, big box stores or in larger cities is the best way to save money. So shopping local and supporting our small business seems a little like "pay more for the good of the community." Right? WRONG!! I had an opportunity this winter to test this important two-sided debate. I purchased two old buildings on ...
Guards not source of smuggled cell phones
Editor, Manteca I am a correctional officer (you calls us guards) working in one of the institutions in the State of California. I have sworn an oath to uphold the law and to protect the citizenry. I find your comments about "cell phones in prison" to be both misinformed and naive. You state that "prison guards" can easily pocket an extra "100 to 400 dollars" from the selling of the phones. That part is ...
MRPS car show was big success
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, On behalf of the Manteca Ripon Pentecost Society we would like to thank the Manteca Bulletin for the press coverage we received for our recent "Classy Car Show". Your support drew entries from around the valley to help MRPS raise funds for scholarships. We would also like to thank all who entered vehicles and those who came by to view especially under questionable skies. Thank you also goes out to "Cabral Motors" ...
Liked column on vehicles
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, I liked your column of your autos. I never did want a Pontiac, I was always looking at the Studebaker Golden Hawks and the Avanti and finally the Gran Tourismo. But all of these cars were beyond the means of a high schooler and serving in the military right after graduation, ruled out a job that would allow serving and auto ownership. Nice story. Oroville Quick Manteca May 6, 2009

The event raised $3,000 to help support HOPE Family Shelter and Raymus House. We would also like to express our ...

Statistics show we’re going down wrong road
Editor, Manteca Bulletin The expression "statistics don't lie but liars use statistics" has been tossed about over the last few months. Probability and statistics is the least popular course that are recommended for college students. Engineering, some programming, and economics students are required to take this course. Very few colleges offer higher level coursework in statistical analysis. Most people learn through on-the-job training, which is the most unreliable method of learning. Even CSU-Stanislaus does not ...
Need tougher penalties for SBS perpetrators
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, With this being shaken baby syndrome (SBS) awareness week, and me being the mother of a victim of SBS I feel it is my duty to help make sure people become aware. Because of this I did a little research, although it became difficult at times, and collect statistics I feel people need to know. • 46 to 52% of adults and teenagers do not know that shaking a baby could be ...
