The effects of a school closure

This has been an emotional few months for residents of Trout Creek.

The need for opposition in debates

I enjoy hearing the opposite view to mine and using my mind to find a weakness in their argument to use to my advantage.

Searching the past for closure

I was five years old the last time I saw my Dad.

That’s an amazing sentence to write.

Looking back at past regrets

I had a bad mullet and an attitude. I worked part time and thought I was the next best thing since sliced bread.

Column: From Here – Of rainbows and municipal finances

Rob Murphy is the sales manager of the Summerland Review.

Reflecting on a year at the Review

A year has passed since I began at the Summerland Review.

Calculating the costs of no growth

I have enjoyed our letters to the editor of late. Especially those that take the time to write various responses to my column.

This is encouraging.

A salute to our first responders

I don’t think we give our emergency personnel a fair shake.
