I find it so sad how so many people are ranting and raving over the City of Cottonwood “allowing” a drag show to occur. Have any of you that are complaining actually been to a drag show?

It is a great honor to serve Rimrock as your new Postmaster. In my years with the United States Postal Service, I have seen firsthand the role the Postal Service plays connecting neighbors and our community to the nation. Our Post Offices also serve as a lifeline for our small businesses to reach customers no matter where they are.

A letter to the editor in our Sunday, Jan. 22, edition that complained about the Cottonwood Police Department drew the ire of residents, one even apologizing for the length of the response because “I cannot adequately express my outrage in fewer words.”

Many times our local hospitals receive negative reviews from upset patients or family members concerning their, or a family members’, treatment when receiving medical help.

The Cottonwood Police are out of control. Just ask anybody. I am in my 70s, and I’ve never seen anything like it.

The Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday is a day set aside for measuring ourselves against the yardstick of King’s hope and dream. It is a time to reflect on our moral obligation to condemn social and economic systems that rob people of dignity and equal opportunity.
