City Council

COUNCILLOR PRAISED FOR PURSUIT OF CAUSE

Editor, The Gazette

(Sylvia) Treptow (letter to the editor, Aug. 5) does not speak for
everyone in this community.  I commend Coun. (Joy) Davies for her
compassion and caring for a segment of the community who are not
helped and are sometimes made worse by prescribed medicines.

This is an issue of importance to many and I applaud Coun. Davies for
her honesty and her bravery in bringing this issue forward.

Contentious changes have all had to start somewhere.

Once again, I commend Coun. Davies for being strong and willing enough
to put this out in the public.

To the letter writers condemning her for her actions, compassion works
both ways.

Shirley Schuh,
Grand Forks
