Carmen’s children appreciate outpouring
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, The children of Carmen Gloria Hernandez wish to express our gratitude for your thoughtfulness to our family during the difficult months during our mother's illness and passing. Every act of kindness whether it was prayers, meals, a phone call or just stopping by to visit was very much appreciated. Special thanks to Christian Worship Center, Rocko's and Fagundes, Dave Uecker Construction and the Manteca Bulletin. Carmen's children Manteca April 10, 2009 ...
Manteca does not need update of housing element
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, Last week's article regarding the Manteca City Council-initiated housing element update was a bit unnerving. It highlights once again the number of studies and work groups that have sprouted at city hall over the past year or so. The rapid succession of their generation by the city council in response to community matters is amazing, given that for the past fifteen years most of these issues had been ignored. This phenomenon leads ...
Full disclosure sticker for new homes is an interesting idea
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, I read your column ("Full disclosure sticker for new home buyers" on Wednesday, April 8) and that is a very interesting idea. I agree that most consumers don't understand the issues that exist between state and local government and just assume ad valorem taxes fund most everything. My firm provides tax disclosure reports to homebuilders across California that detail any Mello-Roos, special assessments that will impact a home as well as ...
Manteca Unified: A serious perception problem
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, The Manteca Unified School District's current budget crisis has proven to be as painful and difficult as originally feared. The District is rife with rumors, speculation, and e-mail circulations. All sides previously spoke of working together to solve the budget crisis. But the sad reality is that some classified members, who settled with the District are angry and frustrated that the teacher's union won't accept a 5% pay cut. Certain Budget Reduction ...
Council needs to see projects through to completion
Editor, Manteca Bulletin. We are so glad that you had your say about the entrance to Manteca (at Yosemite Avenue and Highway 99). We have written letters to Councilman Steve DeBrum, who also lives on Austin Road and must pass the weeds and debris most every day. He had nothing to say about this. We feel the council does not take on a project and see it completed. We would like to see one ...
George Rose family appreciates outpouring
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, The family of George S. Rose, Jr. sends this open heart-felt letter to all of the many, many people that supported us through this difficult time. The prayers, kind words, expressions of sympathy, and all the many gestures of love were overwhelming. Dr. Peter Garbeff became more than a doctor. He became a friend. The expertise and skills of Dr. Aminder S. Mehdi, Dr. Annette Seiler, and Dr. Matthew Coates were given ...
Fireworks should not be legalized in city
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, Let me first introduce myself to you. I am a veteran of WWII. I enlisted in the United States Navy prior to WWII. I served on the Lexington aircraft carrier, flying dive bombers. As you may remember, we pulled out of Pearl Harbor several days prior to the bombing, so we were able to fight back. I am proud to have served my country, and I am very patriotic. This being said, ...
City simply shifts taxes to fees & hurts affordable housing goal
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, I recently read the Bulletin article about how City of Manteca staff took over another park and landscaping district, and plans homeowner fee increases to cover full city landscaping services costs. The arrangement was made to "...save Manteca millions of (tax) dollars...." by shifting park landscaping costs from general taxes to homeowner landscaping assessment fees. Nothing is saved. Costs are moved from the light of questioning for tax savings, re-labeled as an ...
Santa Cruz numbers don’t back city’s claim of less dog kills
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, I read your article stating that "the lives of 1,700 dogs could be spared over the next 10 years if Manteca has the same success with a proposed mandatory spay and neutering ordinance such as the one Santa Cruz now has in place". Santa Cruz is often offered up as the model for success but the true numbers do not bear that out. I have attached 3 documents that show shelter statistics, ...
If you don’t like what you see change the TV channel
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, I have seen several letters about censorship in this paper the last week or so and I need to make a point. If you don't like something that is on TV you have the right to change the channel, just as I should have the right to decide what is appropriate for me and my children to watch. No I don't want my children to be exposed to all kinds of sexually ...
No wonder teachers have a tough job today
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, I read L. H. McAllister's letter, in Wednesday's Bulletin, twice. It is quite an eye opener. I now have a much better idea of what the problems are with the schools. It isn't about education at all! If the teachers were free to do their primary jobs which are education, that purpose would be far better served. I'm amazed at all the non-educational requirements and duties which are foisted upon our ridiculously ...
Mabel Brocchini & family extend their thanks
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, Mabel Brocchini and family wish to extend their appreciation to the many, many people in Manteca who sent food, flowers, kind words, heartfelt prayers, and other expressions of sympathy in the recent death of Aldo Brocchini. Your generosity and support during this difficult time is greatly appreciated. May the memory of his smile and loving personality warm your hearts and strengthen your soul. Mabel Brocchini Marvin and Barbara Brocchini Janet and ...
Historical society appreciates support
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, We at the Manteca Historical Society and Museum wish to thank Dennis Wyatt and his staff at the Manteca Bulletin for giving us such great coverage promoting our 17th Annual Gourmet Sampler. Without your help, this annual fundraiser would not have been so successful. The Gourmet was a sell-out. We also wish to thank the many vendors who participated by supplying outstanding food and beverages. We heard many wonderful comments that day ...
An apology & thanks to DHM ER patients
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, Please allow me to take the opportunity to offer an apology and thanks at the same time, to our recent Emergency Room patients. Beginning March 31, Doctors Hospital of Manteca launched our "paperless" Emergency Room. We fielded several-hundred thousand dollars worth of electronic technology designed to provide greater accuracy of documentation and order processing, and to ensure a higher level of efficiency and overall customer service. I want to thank our ...
