Appreciation shared for vital power company

Editor,  We are writing to show our deepest appreciation for the outstanding work done by the Mission Valley Power line crews and support staff during Wednesday’s powerful windstorm. In this and in other power emergencies through the years, line crews respond professionally and as quickly as is humanly possible and our calls are usually followed up with a return call by dispatch or the lineman to make sure problem has been resolved. Thank you MVP. Marie & Marty Mumma Polson


Jan. 6 speech requires action

 Editor, This particular day’s events leaped out at me with total captivation and fascination. I was mesmerized for hours. It began with watching, on Fox News, Donald Trump’s entire over an hour-long speech in D.C. to his followers. It was ranting, raving and filled with total misinformat...

His mother was happy to see her little boy so joyful, but she was worried that the other children would not remember to give a card  to Joey. You see, Joey was a little slower than the rest of the kids, and he w...


Grand Old Party is busy

Editor,  I miss my late Uncle Bill for many reasons – his kindness, sense of humor, the way he embraced his large, sprawling family, regardless of race, religion or politics.  And I’m especially missing his wisdom and common sense these days, when his Grand Old Party is busy tryin...


Power outage quickly fixed

Editor, On Wednesday, Dec. 2, while working at my computer, I heard a pop and lost power. We called a couple of neighbors and they both had electricity. I then called Mission Valley Power and talked with, if I remember correctly, Josie.  She was extraordinarily helpful with a very positive and upl...


Pied piper needs a name

Editor,  Natural energy starts with the sun rising to create planetary income, and then, plants grow and expend leaves to create planetary spending. Surplus energy is saved within the roots to create planetary savings.  The point is that income, spending and savings on a planetary scale, is simp...
