I thought it was important to bring awareness about malpractice and how most doctors and hospitals these days really don’t care about the well-being of their patients. I can speak about this, for I have lived it. The life I once knew had been taken from me within hours.

I am sick to my soul of your hypocrisy and lies.

“Where there’s smoke, there’s fire!” Boy, oh boy! There’s smoke in Campbell County. What’s on fire?

Having attended several of the library board meetings, I am disgusted by the attempt to rob small children of their childhood and innocence and even their personal identity. The more disgusting affair is our elected representatives’ endless support for the Democrats’ new pro-pervert agenda. …

At the last Library Board meeting, Chair Sage Bear presented a revised draft of the collection development policy prepared by an attorney for Liberty Counsel. It only takes a quick read of the Liberty Counsel website to see that they are a highly partisan “religious ministry.” The drafter of…

I am concerned about the library restricting parents rights, government overreach and wasteful spending of our tax dollars. There are no pornographic or obscene books in the Library. No one wants to sexualize children. From the many library board meetings I have attended, I still have not se…

I have been trying to decide how to put my thoughts articulately into words on this issue for two years. I hope you will read it and digest it and form your own opinion but mostly I hope you have an opinion that’s your own and not spoon fed to you by the media or your “community leaders.”

The Campbell County Library Board Chair Sage Bear continues to astound. On the advice of Arthur Schaper with Mass Resistance, she has reached out to a young, inexperienced lawyer, Hugh Phillips, who is not licensed to practice law in Wyoming, to rewrite the library collection policy. Mr. Phi…

After attending the library board meeting on Feb. 27, I’m left wondering a few things. Why does Sage Bear think it’s okay to contact an attorney from Florida to push her agenda of taking the collection development policy out of the hands of professional librarians? It seems to me if this is …

At a recent Collection Development Policy meeting, library board member, Chuck Butler admitted to working for Bear’s Dry Cleaning, a business owned by Library Board Chair Sage Bear, and state Rep. John Bear. This is a conflict of interest.

I am writing to express my concern about the issue of freedom within our public library system. As a citizen and regular patron of the library, I believe it is essential that we uphold the principles of intellectual freedom and free speech.

Isn’t it interesting that defending the rights of children to consume pornography and perversion is suddenly a constitutional right? At least according to those masquerading as defenders of our constitution at the library’s most recent board meeting last Monday. This is NOT about LGBTQ+ “com…

On Monday, Feb. 27, I attended the library board meeting. As I sat there and listened to all the proceedings and speakers, I was astonished as to why we are even discussing this issue. It should be a NO-brainer as to where these books belong. They are pure filth disguised as books for childr…

A show of force was obvious at the school board meeting on Tuesday night. A newly elected trustee was interested in drafting a district-wide policy limiting cellphone use in the classrooms. He stated in the meeting that he had gone to some of the schools and spoke with principals and teacher…

This letter to the editor is in response to the article written by Jake Goodrick and the CCH Board of Trustees retreat in Deadwood, South Dakota at the end of March.

Why do members of the Republican party and the Freedom Caucus feel the need to ostracize and marginalize transgender children? Through no fault of their own and with no conscious choice, these children can feel they have gender dysphoria as early as age 3, which means that despite what their…

I’ll make this short and to the point. The City of Gillette is once again going to ask the residents to pay more for utilities. It would seem that this is becoming a yearly occurrence. But wait, we also have an additional 1% sales tax that they are burning through like drunken sailors. There…

This is my second letter prompted by the Library LGBT issues. It is a continuation of my previous letter which was limited to 300 words.

Some comments on the Feb. 7 county commissioners meeting that was reported in the Saturday News Record. It seems Commissioner Del Shelstad is very quick to get the police involved in something that any reasonable person would just talk to the other party about. And why be worried about someo…

Headlines about WOKE we may soon see:

Many people know they should eat healthier. However, affording healthier options is oftentimes a barrier.

In this legislative session of 2023, there have been attempts by various legislators to pass three inappropriate laws which would make libraries do what the majority of the present Campbell County Public Library Board and a small group of private citizens have been trying to push for nearly …

I am not quite sure why I am involving myself in the discussion regarding the library LGBT issues. I generally live a peaceful and uncriticized life. I have not read any of the books in question so am not qualified to make any comments on them. I will comment on the last paragraph of Kathy H…

It takes two to make a baby, and yet Wyoming legislators want to enact laws regulating only the woman’s responsibilities related to pregnancy, childbirth and childcare. That needs to stop.

I viewed a video of the Jan. 23, 2023, library board meeting and was “impressed” by the moral outrage expressed by community members toward the board. Tex McBride, Darla Decker Cotton, Sheri England, and Bruce Williams expressed concern for the First Amendment, research for speech and debate…

If you use the library you need to be concerned about what is going on with the current board. Denying library staff access to resources for education and development will eventually lead to a staff that no longer cares how the library is run. We currently have a very dedicated staff that ha…

Dear Editor,

Thank you Jake Goodrick. I appreciate all your editorials. I have lived in Gillette since 1957 and most times the newspaper did not comment on controversial subjects. Your writing is on the money and on topics citizens should question or discuss. Keep up the good work.

Dear Editor,

Dear Editor,

The crime clips from Dec. 28 states that a woman had a baby that was displaying symptoms of meth withdrawal.

What the people of Wyoming don’t need is a Property Tax Refund Program that would only affect a few property owners. What they need is a property system that is fair and equitable.

Parents all over our nation are finding things that their schools and libraries are displaying or teaching that are not appropriate.

I would like to read more about real challenges facing our community, instead we are faced with a minority who would rather draw our attention away from the hard work required to solve them. Why do so many young people want to leave Gillette? How do few continue to arrive for work and then l…

I would like to draw everyone’s attention to the next work session that the Library Board will be holding on Jan. 5, 2023 at 4 p.m. at the library. This meeting is to go through the acquisitions policy which determines which books are ordered and why. Our library has been operating under the…

The controversy at the library started 18 months ago over sexually explicit books for children, gay pride month and a transgender person performing a magic show for our children. When a group of citizens heard about the magic show we formed a peaceful protest at the library. A few days after…

It has been 19 months, since concerned citizens have been trying to expose or raise awareness of how libraries and schools sexualize your children.

On Oct. 6, 1998, Matthew Shepard, a UW student in Laramie, was tortured, beaten, tied to a fence and left to die. Six days later he died in a hospital in Fort Collins. He was gay. If you do a Google search on Mikayla Oz, the magician who was scheduled to do a children’s magic show at the lib…

In regards to the Dec. 7 article “CCH compliant with Medicaid settlement:”

Something I find very disturbing in our community is how the school district can report that a child is being neglected or abused and DFS will look into it immediately, but when an every day citizen of our community reports abuse of their child from an ex- or something, they will look into i…

Dear Editor,

So where is the fiscal responsibility our newly elected Mayor and City Council blew out of their kazoo’s during this year’s election cycle?

Why are we allowing a radical right-wing hate group from the EAST COAST called Mass Resistance to influence the policies of our public library?

Merry Christmas Gillette! I just want to remind everyone just how lucky we are to live where we live and being able to shop at our local businesses. I recently had the good fortune to interact with Troy and his staff at the UPS Store in Camel Plaza. What a wonderful, helpful, knowledgeable a…

I am heartbroken and sickened by the violence and death inflicted on the LGBTQIA community in Colorado Springs Saturday night. My prayers go out to the families of the five souls who were brutally taken from the world and for those who were injured and traumatized by this act of hate.

Celebrate National Nurse Practitioner Week, Nov. 13-19, 2022 as Campbell County and the City of Gillette join Gov. Mark Gordon to honor the over 50 Nurse Practitioners who care for citizens of Campbell County. Nurse Practitioners assess, diagnose and treat emergency, acute and chronic condit…

The test results are in. Gillette has been infected with cancer, an especially virulent form of QAnon Christian Cancer. It came in through an Open Door thinly disguised as conservative Christianity on a wave of Mass Resistance, conspiracies, and FQX propaganda. It has infected the heart, min…

The Oct. 24 Library Board meeting was an exercise in dumb and dumber. The new board members managed in a few hours to severely undermine the library. They changed the perfectly good mission statement to add something about reflecting community standards. No one is sure whose community standa…

The decision by a majority of the library board to cement its narrow agenda by adding a community standard clause to the library mission statement runs counter to what libraries represent. The library is an institution representing access for all — access to literature, entertainment, reliab…

Are we being represented or threatened by those who want our vote?
