We have lived below impthe Penitentiary for seven years schoand have felt very safe due to the Carljob of the guards. But the even- chos* ing aj; 3:00 a.m.. when I could Albcsee the flames and hear the in- Lea]mates hollering and hearing gun Reseshots, I was just as scared for ail Itthe husbands and friends up Triethere. DiviLet’s put the blame where it preilies. The riot or fire was not rnaistarted by the firemen or guards. SchcThis thing has been blown way remout of proportion by a few mentwisted words. theAs far as using taxpayers wjt)money for a few sandwiches and jectcoffee, you must have nothing ^better to complain about, how areabout the $45,000.00 per year we th0ltaxpayers pay to keep the inmates up there per year. ficjeLadies you must have done a ers 1heck of a lot of digging. My catilt;husband has been on the fire to fcdepartment for five years and it's areonly through your persistent cutbdigging that I found out about diffithe Life Insurance and compen- wansation package. Thank you for ourfinding out the information for Mus wives who were in the dark. LeaIt’s nice to know our husbands piloget something for risking their to tllives all hours of the day or night, Theas do yours. As far as the ten ingdollars per hour they received for thesitting and drinking coffee, I'm atesure it didn’t come out of your furtpocket. stre:Words are easy to put down on halfpaper or say, but when it comes teacright down to it would we put *1ourselves in their place if it came he 1to that? hereMy husband and I and our V,family plan to live many more adrryears in this community and worhope it remains to be as safe and rempleasant place to live thanks to bonthe people that have put in a timegreat job in keeping it that way. opeiPiera Greaves - Wife time_ couiBox 39, willCarbon, Alberta July 20, 1987 studThe Eciitor,...... studThe Drnmheller Mail.
