Last season we recorded more than 60 complaints and letters to the editor that people sent to local politicians or newspapers in the Fraser Valley. Our letters web page was a big "hit".

This season, the letters have started pouring in at an even faster rate, and it is a big job to add all of these to the web site, but peoples' feelings about propane cannons have to be publicized, so here we go again.

In the first week, Mayor Mary Reeves of Abbotsford took some heat, but the focus seems to have shifted now to the people who are actually making this incessant racket. The feeling is growing that consumers should start boycotting "noise" berries. But how does one differentiate "quiet" berries from "noise" berries at your local grocery store???

The following is a list of letters we've received so far in 2003 or have seen printed in local newspapers. If you wish to read the contents of a letter, simply click on the item in the list below. If you wish to read the letters from last year, click: here
