Dear Editor:
Re: Closure of the North Valley Assisted Living Facility, We, the citizens of North Valley Hospital District #4, have just had the wool pulled over our eyes!
Letters to the Editor
Time to ask questions
Don’t close Assisted Living
Hospital District Board decides; Assisted Living Residents to get eviction notice? Really? That is the latest news that the Community is hearing as of the last Hospital Board meeting. Well, I wasn’t going to get “involved,” but I can’t not be involved when this type of eviction action is threatened and it is our local [...]
If Obama Muslim, then Lincoln Jewish
Dear Editor,
Steve Lorz, as usual, totally ignored the point of my letter, i.e. that it is a proven fact that President Obama is NOT a Muslim, nor can Obama’s putative pro-Islam deeds magically make him one. Unlike the non-Calvinistic side of Protestantism…
Let’s all be ‘HICKs’
Dear Editor,
I remember watching a movie about the life of Huey Long. Before he represented Louisiana at the federal level he ran for county road commissioner. At one point, in his campaign, he stood on the back of a pickup, destroyed his prepared speech, looked at the gathering of farmers and started out by saying, “You are a hick…
He will be missed
Dear Editor,
It is with a heavy heart that I am writing this letter. I had double walking pneumonia the week that Dennis Lorz passed away, consequently was out of the loop and missed the funeral. For that I apologize, to the family and the community. I felt compelled to make an effort to express my feelings because of that absence.

Dear Editor,
On Tuesday, 12 noon at Omak City Park, Jan. 22, 2013, there will be a March for Life in Omak so that we will not forget that it is legal to kill an innocent, helpless baby in a mother’s womb through abortion. Everyone is welcome to join us.
If it walks like a duck
Dear Editor,
John Connot must have forgotten the many statements by various leaders, (B.O. being one of them) alluding to the fact that Islam is a peaceful religion. So why would having our first Muslim President be a bad thing here in progressive America?
NVH staff is incredible
Dear Editor,
I would like to extend my thanks to the staff of your local Hospital (N.V.H) for their actions this past Christmas eve. A passenger aboard the Canadian tour bus I was driving to Spokane, was stricken with an acute medical condition as I approached Tonasket.
A valuable gift
Dear Editor,
All true Christians, of all dominations, start preparing for an answer. All people who have spiritual concept, but do not follow any “religion.” All tribal orders start moving in a rhythm as one.
