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 ...
Our nation needs prayer to recover
As most of America, I sit in disbelief and shock of the mass murder that occurred at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CT. The murder of 20 innocent children and six teaching staff members is insane and plain evil. My first response was to express to my children the love I have for them. Yet, I could feel the pain of those parents thousands of miles away as tears stored up in my own ...
Interact appreciates help for Safe Halloween
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, On Saturday, Oct. 27, downtown businesses opened up their doors for the safe Halloween event. Over one thousand children and many of their parents were dressed up in their costumes and 'trick or treated' in a safe and friendly environment at participating merchants in downtown Manteca. The children all had a wonderful time on the beautiful fall day. The Manteca Interact Club, which sponsored the event, wishes to thank ...
Buchanan should try ‘cushioned existence’
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, I wonder if Pat Buchanan has ever had to get help from the social welfare state that he touts in his Dec. 12 column, "The winter of conservative discontent". Buchanan states that "....work is less desirable when the social welfare state offers a cushioned existence for life". To whom living in this "cushioned existence" has he spoken to and questioned? Perhaps he's talked to the single mom ...
Supervisor Ornellas thankful for opportunity to serve
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, As I complete my final year on the San Joaquin County Board of Supervisors I want to thank the residents of the 5th Supervisorial District and of the entire County. It has been an honor and privilege to represent you these last ten years. I have witnessed and been part of the County's economic highs and lows, I have represented San Joaquin County and Chaired the San Joaquin Valley Air District during ...
Movies need to stop promotion of smoking in children’s movies
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, My name is Johnny Quesada and I am 21 years old. Like most people I am a giant movie fan. I go see movies all the time with friends and family. Lately I've noticed how much tobacco use has been used in movies, more importantly, children's movies. I understand in advertising that the best audience is a young, impressionable audience that can potentially be a loyal, life-long customer of a ...
The ‘Greatest American Christmas Fable’
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, We have all heard the Christmas fables of Santa, Rudolph, and Frosty; but there is another fable so often repeated that people actually believe it to be true. The phase "separation of church and state" has been routinely used by liberals and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) to "suppress" Christianity and the Judeo-Christian foundation and influence of America through a godless revolution that removes God from government ...
Movies aimed at youth should be tobacco free
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, My name is Johnny Quesada and I am 21 years old. Like most people I am a giant movie fan. I go see movies all the time with friends and family. Lately I've noticed how much tobacco use has been used in movies, more importantly, children's movies. I understand in advertising that the best audience is a young, impressionable audience that can potentially be a loyal, life-long customer of a ...
We must put our trust in God as nation’s founders did
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, Although George Washington recommended a day of Thanksgiving and prayer to Congress, Thanksgiving did not become an official holiday until Abraham Lincoln declared that it be celebrated on the last Thursday of each November. Abraham Lincoln really loved America, and he had much wisdom for our nation. He said that if this nation ever fell, it would be from within, and that "America is great because she is good, ...
Israel deserves better friends in United States
Editor, Manteca Bulletin,
Republicans keep finding excuses for losing
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, It's been over a week since the presidential election. So you would think Republicans, even the Far Right Republicans would have accepted the outcome and moved on, right? Wrong! Ever since day one after the election we have heard from the GOP, every reason under the sun, except the real reasons, as to why Romney lost so badly. Of course the GOP leaders on the Right, insist it ...
Obama may cause American’s economic collapse
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, Americans must brace themselves for an economic storm. Several economists have ensured that President Obama's economic policies are the ingredients of an economic time bomb ready to explode on the American economy. During the Obama presidency, the dollar has lost significant value as $2.5 trillion of "quantitative easing", which is a manipulation of paper money pumped into the economy, was added to our ...
