We have been coming to Silver Star RV Park for 18 years and just love Vernon in general.

It is a shame that some government agencies can ignore the wishes of the public because they know best.

Because of the highway speed and actions of drivers on it, we have now been deprived of popping across to Squires Four Pub for wonderful meals, as have many, many other people who come to SSRV Park.

The berm where the tourist info was makes the corner a blind one for both those on the highway who can’t see Stickle Rd. and we can’t see them until they are upon us.

We have seen accidents there several times. We have given up turning left years ago.

Obviously MLA Eric Foster isn’t doing his best to talk to Minister Todd Stone about this problem. I wrote to Foster and Stone in May.

Foster’s reply was thank you for taking the time to write he’d pass it on and Stone’s was he takes care of issues from his constituents first then anything outside his area second.

Neither reply made me too happy.

Your editorial on July 29 about MLA in a Stickle pickle was perfect, as has been your articles.

Good job.

I guess all everyone can do at this time is just keep pecking away at this problem.

Hopefully someone else doesn’t get killed at that intersection.
