Editor: I was very disappointed and surprised to read a letter in The Times (Sept. 25) about how we need more casinos. I鈥檝e moved back to 91原创 after being away for four years.

One of the major reasons was I missed all the lovely green nature here, the farmlands, and while having all the amenities, 91原创 still felt like a small to medium- size town that hasn鈥檛 totally been ruined by this type of influence.

Why would we want to put casinos in, for people to throw their money away? I realize it is their choice, but do we have to contribute to it?

91原创 unfortunately, with all its building of row houses, and now this proposition among other things, will become a place less desirable to live in. It鈥檚 the only place in B.C. that I鈥檓 still comfortable in, where I can enjoy a more family atmosphere and down-to-earth people.

Please, no more casinos. We have to think of the atmosphere of the town and not just the almighty dollar. While 91原创 changed in the four years I鈥檝e been gone, it is still livable and friendly.
