CAMPER DAMPER
Sorry to put a damper on camping season, but can I please rant about the noise that is created by some campsite users? A few weekends ago we camped at Chilliwack Lake. During our one-night stay, we were confronted with noise of varying degrees and origins, such as loud music, shouting of obscenities, running engines (and I don鈥檛 mean generators), more loud music, and chainsaw noise (which is actually prohibited by the park). I mean, who on earth goes to a beautiful setting to listen to loud music and roar a chainsaw? I go to experience nature, get away from the city and watch some wildlife. If I wanted to be bombarded with music and shouting, I would have stayed at home or sat around a firepit at a friend鈥檚 house (not that I have such a friend!).
Does anyone else agree with my sentiments? Suggestion to noisy people: stay at home, go to a house party instead or simply be less noisy.

BIKE STRIKE
Re: 鈥�,鈥� June 1, 2017.
Trips by foot, bike and transit represent half of all trips in the city, headed toward two-thirds, yet will only receive 40 per cent of the city鈥檚 transportation budget. As usual, motorists get an unfair and undeserved proportion of our tax dollars. Motorists have nothing to complain about. The apocalypse never arrived with each new bike lane, but news media still want to make it a controversial story. Please stop using cyclists as pawns for your circulation numbers. We just want our fair share of the road as free as possible from the carnage of motor vehicles.

I鈥檝e seen Delhi 2 Dublin live a couple of times and they鈥檙e great. Most of the local radio stations only play Top 40 crap and D2D doesn鈥檛 fit into that mold.

Can鈥檛 landlords be taken to court for negligence that threatens safety? If not, they should be. The Sahotas shouldn鈥檛 be allowed to own those buildings anymore. 鈥揗aureen Butler听
