Letter To The Editor

The St Marys Journal/ Argus expanded today's edition to make room for these letters:

It would appear that democracy is dead in St Marys - Ian Ball
"Figures don't Lie" "Liars Figure" - Robert Bendall
This project is big money and a big risk and if it is not done right could sink the Town for the next 25 years - Gary Boyce
Not a single member of this council ran with this project as part of their platform in the last municipal election - Mark Dickey
We are too small a community to go ahead with the whole project - Lita Miandro
Let's vote on this project. It's the only answer. - John Munro
The information received from Deloitte was nowhere near as complete as that contained in the Monteith Brown report - Jan Mustard
The format of the meeting on the St Marys Arena Expansion was the usual charade - John O'Drowsky
Robbing Peter to pay Paul - J Queenan
We cannot start this project without this council knowing that this is feasible for the average resident - Herb & Dolores Richmond
Let's be responsible. Let's build the pad, not the pool - Louis & Nancy Vermond

Additional Room With an Unspecified Purpose

The St Marys Journal Argus has printed the plans for the proposed St Marys Arena Expansion. It includes an additional room with an unspecified purpose.

You would think the architect Bob Prince of Garwood-Jones and Hanham would know the purpose of every room. The architectural firm was paid $114,000 in November 2005 and another $10,000 in January 2006.
