You catch more bees with honey

Name calling and anger is not productive

I read Wendy Maurer’s letter (The News, Sept. 2) with interest. I am sure she wants the best for Qualicum Beach as the rest of us do.

However to accuse people with different opinions to be liars, fear mongers and unwilling to work on challenges does not seem, to me, to be the right approach.

I do not know if she continues to have political aspirations but if so I think a different attitude might be needed.

I have lived here longer than Wendy and still find it the lovely, friendly, beautiful community it was 13 years ago.

Could some things be different? Certainly. That will be achieved however with a spirit of cooperation and through listening to the community, not through name calling and confrontation.
