Letter to the Editor, Re: Riverside Cemetery
To Whom It May Concern: I am writing this letter because I am concerned with the choice that the City of Lamar has made to neglect Riverside Cemetery. On Mother’s Day the weeds were grown up around all of the headstones and when complaints were made about the condition of the cemetery people were told it was because of “budget cuts”. Then on Memorial Day another surprise awaited people who were paying respects to their family’s … Read entire article »

Letter to the Editor – John E. Cochran-PMC
April 26, 2012 Residents of Prowers County: After attending a meeting last week of prospective hospital board candidates, I came away with the opinion that PMC and High Plains haven’t worked well together in the past and that PMC was the problem. As an employee of PMC, I was concerned about PMC’s role in the lack of cooperation and began looking a little closer at the situation. I came up with a few questions, but no direct … Read entire article »

Letter to the Editor-PMC
Dear Editor, I went to Prowers Medical Center on April 6, to get x-rays and an MRI to try and find out why I was having excruciating pain in my arm and shoulder.

There was also some accommodation done because of some confusion about my appointment time. … Read entire article »

To the Citizens of Prowers County: Letter to the Editor
I was thinking about the re-call petitions being circulated in our community for the Prowers Medical Center Board; how come this is being done in the first place since none of the alleged reasons can be proven?

Candy Ruedeman has many years of experience in nursing and has never voted against anything that would benefit our hospital/community members. I also think it’s important to have a … Read entire article »
