Missing the point about Brietenbucher letter
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, This is in response to Mr. McComas' opinion piece regarding Ms. Breitenbucher's new position at Manteca Unified School District. Mr. McComas, if you read my opinion piece thoroughly, you would have noticed that the majority of the piece was in regards to the alleged hiring of multiple high priced consultants to train Ms. Breitenbucher in her new position, as senior director of business services by Manteca Unified School District. If consultants are ...
City sailing into unchartered waters
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, The following is a copy of a letter sent to our city manager in response to his comments on the city workers maintaining the LMDs. There is no further comment needed. Mr. Pinkerton. This letter is in response to your information letter to the public in Friday's Manteca Bulletin editorial regarding the city taking over the Landscape Maintenance Districts (LMDs,) I am currently one of those private contractors. We have been maintaining ...
Thank you for your Marine son’s service
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, I would like to personally thank the Winston family for their son's courageous service to the U.S. Marine Corp and to our country. Free speech is one thing, but for a person to purposely hurl venomous insults at a member of our nation's armed forces and wish them dead (like what was described in Saturday's Bulletin "Letter to the Editor" column) at the very least shows no class nor respect, and ...
Complete confidence in Jacqui Breitenbucher
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, This letter is in response to Ms. Robertson's letter about Jacqui Breitenbucher. Ms. Robertson's main point was that Jacqui is not qualified for the top business position at Manteca Unified School District. Ms. Robertson claims that Jacqui does not have the experience for this position and (rumor) has is Jacqui will need a top notch consultant to train her. I personally know Jacqui and her family very well. I know what she ...
Thanking Marine for his service
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, This is in regards to the letter to the editor, in the Saturday, June 20, 2009 edition of the Manteca Bulletin, entitled "Stranger hopes her Marine son is killed in Iraq War," from Penny Winston. Dear Editor and Penny Winston: My husband spent 6 years in the Marine Corps and received a purple heart in the Korean War. When he returned he spent almost 3 years at the Marine Corps Recruit Depot ...
Was school board wise moving Breitenbucher?
Editor Manteca Bulletin, I found the article regarding the hiring of Ms. Jacqui Breitenbucher for the top business position (senior director of business services) for Manteca Unified School District quite interesting. While it is explained in the article that Ms. Breitenbucher has been with Manteca Unified School District since 1993, none of these years have been in the business office, at the district office. It is also mentioned that Ms. Breitenbucher spent several years in ...
Time for a moratorium on small-mindedness
Editor Manteca Bulletin, Every morning as I skim through our paper for town news, I force myself to glance at the Opinion section, hoping against hope that I will see the name of a new writer at the bottom of a non-divisive and thought-provoking editorial opinion. However, it's usually the same tired rhetoric from members of the "label club" - you know, those who label others in a disparaging way to elevate themselves (i.e. Republicans, ...
Stranger hopes her Marine son is killed in Iraq war
Editor Manteca Bulletin, Freedom of speech has gone too far this week. I was driving down Louise Avenue with my children in my car. My daughter noticed a man in a white pickup that was looking in our car and laughing. As he pulled up even with me, I looked over and he yelled towards my car; "Is your son a Marine?" I responded, "Yes", being a proud mom. His next comment stunned me ...
Dairies might go way of Pontiac cars
Editor Manteca Bulletin, Dennis Wyatt's story in my opinion didn't go far enough on the problematic issue of methane gas. I think dairies are one of the most vital industries in this valley. The loss of dairies forced out of existence by high priced technology to reduce methane gas, would be a huge financial loss to the Central Valley. I would like to continue drinking milk and eating my cookies knowing our milk is safe ...
Who will remember unborn children?
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, It's been said that confession is good for the soul. I suppose that is true, because to confess or verbalize one's sins does sometimes release one's guilt. But in truth, as someone pointed out to me, "It's easy to forgive, but so hard to forget." My story is not one I've hidden. I've spoken several times about it. It's not an easy subject to broach, to tell, or to hear. It's not ...
Republicans need to stop following Democrats
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, Larry Baca has made a statement about this country having more Democrats. Actually, a large percentage of the population are Independent since the Republicans have acted in the past like little Democrats. The Democrats in this city have suggested the Republicans need to follow them. I say "no way." This is what has gotten the Republican party in trouble. They need to return to the fiscal and moral conservative wing of ...
In response to graffiti at Southside church
Editor Manteca Bulletin, One part of me is truly appalled, disgusted, and sickened that someone would deface a sacred place of honor in this community for more than 50 years, Southside Christian Church, 314 Locust Avenue, Manteca. But on the other hand another part of me realizes we are faced everyday with the grim realities of the depravity of gangs, and the impacts of their foul acts of vandalism throughout our community." We, as a ...
Try bicycling around Manteca instead of driving
Editor Manteca Bulletin, With all of this nonsense about politics based on chain e-mails being thrown around the editorial section these days, I thought I would try to produce something productive and worthwhile for the community. I am calling on more Mantecans to ride their bicycles. Let's face it, there is nowhere in Manteca that you cannot get to via bicycle. Spend a couple of hours pedaling around town and you can burn off somewhere ...
Jim Carlton: Well done, good and faithful servant
Editor Manteca Bulletin, Thank you for your article and tribute to my friend, Pastor Jim Carlton. "PC," as he was affectionately known to everyone, never sought attention, instead preferring to meet people on a one-to-one basis. When PC spoke to you, there was no ulterior motive; he was genuinely interested in your day. This was particularly amazing because for most of the time I knew him, he was suffering or in pain, yet continued ...
Who speaks for the Republican Party?
Editor Manteca Bulletin, The GOP (The Grand old Predicament) seems to be having just that and not only nationally but locally as well. In a recent Gallup Poll asking "Who speaks for the GOP?" 52% didn't know, 13% picked Rush Limbaugh, followed by the likes of Dick Cheney, Newt Gingrich, Glen Beck and Sara Palin. An interesting point on Sara Palin, only four people named her, three called her by name, the other one called ...
