  • Visitation at jail not 24/7 for a reason

    Vincent Hanson|Jun 4, 2015

    A representative of the Set Free Church seems to want the Law Enforcement Center rules changed to suit himself and some family members of inmates of our local jail. Someone should remind him, our jail is not a WalMart, open 24/7 for a reason. Possibly the inmates could have used his ministering before they committed their crimes. Then they might be on the outside, not incarcerated....

  • Unhappy about town council's decision

    Charlene Anderson|May 14, 2015

    Thanks to everyone who supported trying to change the city ordinance to let chickens in the city limits. I got about 100 signatures in less than a week, but for the town council that wasn’t enough. They commented that all they got was people calling them and saying “no” to the chickens. It would have been more fair I felt if they would have given me more time, or told me how many signatures I needed. Then it sounded like I should have rules and regulations for keeping them. Only one council member had an open mind to take it further. I’ll...

  • Letter to the Editor: History of Bicentennial Park and the rose bushes

    Ruth Clare Johnson|May 7, 2015

    It is my understanding that changes are being made to the rose bushes at the south end of Bicentennial Park at 5th and Broadway in Thermopolis.

After fire destroyed much of the area the idea of making it over into a park in honor of our Nation was considered. Much work of the people of the county went toward its establishment. The Hot Springs County and The Thermopolis Bicentennial Committees undertook the park’s establishment as a p...

  • Letter to the Editor: Thankful for transition program

    Apr 9, 2015

    We want to express our appreciation of the Rural Medical Care Transition Program provided through the hospital. The program is offered statewide and is designed to reduce hospital costs by assisting patients who are 65 years and older with one of ten qualifying diagnoses and by reducing re-hospitalization of those patients. We have enjoyed the relationship built with the nurse coach assigned to work with Gene following two separate hospital stays. The program provides nurse coaches to assist patients as they transition from doctors, hospitals...

  • Letter to the Editor: Lying in politics

    Apr 9, 2015

    Recently, a Nevada Senator had an unusual moment of honesty and declared he knew he was lying when he said a former Presidential candidate had not paid any taxes in twenty years. When asked about lying he said, “We won.” I appreciate the U.S. Senator reminding us that there are many in politics that have no problem doing whatever they must do to get what they want and to win. Why is this important? Simply go to the Bible and read John 8:44. Pastor Chuck Cooper...
