Should anyone dread doctors?

February 3, 2021

To the editor: Having experienced it so many times before, I knew before the appointment the battle we would have; the battle to be taken seriously and not discounted. The surgeon began by telling us he read my mother’s file and giving an awkward acknowledgement to “all her medical history” meaning my mother’s mental illness. This was not a good start, as her mental illness had nothing to do with the medical treatment she was seeking. He waited to hear our questions and reasons for why we were requesting a second opinion. His demeanor said “this is not worth my time.” ...

We need to have courage

January 30, 2021

To the editor: Every Sunday since last summer, a COVID-19 laboratory experiment has been taking place at John MacArthur’s church in California, where approximately 7,000 christians, across all age groups, gather to play musical instruments, sing, and worship God. Masks and social distancing are not the norm. We have not seen  high numbers of illness, hospitalizations and deaths there. At one point there were three mild cases among the 7,000. Why? Is God protecting them? Are they just lucky? Six days a week in Calumet, another COVID-19 laboratory experiment is taking place at ...

Packers were real NFC champs

January 30, 2021

To the editor: The NFC Championship game held on Jan. 24, between the Green Bay Packers and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers was fraudulent and illegitimate, and American football fans should demand a full investigation into every single point scored. No, I didn’t actually watch the game, so I do not have any real evidence to support this argument, but a lot of people are saying that Green Bay Packers were treated very unfairly by the referees, umpires and field judges and that the Packers really won by a lot of points. I have been told that it was a landslide victory for Green Bay. Also, ...

Neighborly decency

January 30, 2021

To the editor: Who ever returned the blue wallet I left in the Walmart parking lot, thank you! According to customer service staff this is very common event. In fact just that day two blue wallets were returned. Also a young gentleman returned $50 he had found in the butter isle. In these tough times it is heartening to be reminded of the integrity of our community.

Bergman working well

January 30, 2021

To the editor: All Americans, no matter their lot in life, should have total confidence in the integrity of our voting system and the only way to have total confidence is through total accountability and transparency. I applaud Rep. Jack Bergman’s steadfast work to ensure our elections are above board and that our election laws are closely followed. Rep. Bergman is a true leader and will not back down from a fight. That is why we sent him back to Washington by an overwhelming majority (his largest win margin yet). I applaud Rep. Bergman’s continued effort to bring ...

Bergman not one of us

January 30, 2021

To the editor: Congressman Jack Bergman has let the people of the 1st District down and the people of the United States. Jack Bergman has proven what I’ve said for years; he’s an empty suit without the ability to stand up for himself and the country during times of unnecessary turmoil. Bergman has proven he is a lackey for the President, and his lackluster performance defending the Constitution of the United States is nothing short of treasonous. The Constitution has been trampled on for the past four years; it’s time to take a stand and hold Jack Bergman accountable. It is ...
