Correction to kudos



Editor, Daily Press:

I would like to make a correction to my congratulations letter to the Tahlequah Firefighters on the success of their annual Fill-the-Boot campaign for Muscular Dystrophy Association. It is not only the Tahlequah Local No. 4099 that collects for MDA year after year, but the Cherokee County firefighters, as well. They were an important part of the new record for collections in Tahlequah of $18,014!

I apologize to the Cherokee County firefighters for my grave error and once again I hope everyone in Tahlequah will acknowledge these heroes and the difference they are making in lives of those with neuromuscular disease.

Please join me in congratulating the firefighters on a job well done.

Cassandra Buhler

Fundraising Coordinator

  • Make sure you vote

    It’s that time of the year again – time for the school board to extend a two-year contract to three years. It seems the board is much more interested in the job security of [Superintendent] Shannon Goodsell than for the teachers and staff.

  • Ego influencing justice

    Last year’s incident in the jail where inmate Daniel Bosh received significant injuries from what appears to be an attack by a jail employee serves as a reminder that we have flaws in our justice system.

  • Harnessing talents

    Women met Tuesday, Jan. 17, who believe in the values of a strong U.S. Constitutional government, with more power in the state and local government; women who believe our federal government is spending out of control, to the point of pushing our nation into the poor house. We call ourselves conservatives.

  • Flip-flopping on issues

    Shannon Goodsell, superintendent of Tahlequah Public Schools, apparently can’t make up his mind when it comes to giving taxpayer money to private organizations.

  • Thieves target cross

    I am writing you regarding my cousin’s memorial cross on State Highway 51. He has been gone for four years now. The week before the four-year anniversary of his passing, someone stole his cross.

  • Kudos to the City Council

    Editor, Daily Press:
    Our elected officials showed wise judgment at [last] Monday’s City Council meeting. They chose individualism over collectivism.

  • Scare tactics on aliens?

    Editor, Daily Press:
    I just finished watching scare tactics on a new channel called the Curiosity Channel, on satellite television. It was about, “What would we do if we were attacked by beings from outer space?” It was, in my opinion, designed and produced by the big corporations who are now running the world.

  • Think twice about testing

    Editor, Daily Press:
    I do not condone the use of drugs by welfare recipients and I do not believe that many can afford to use drugs. I also do not condone government intrusion into the private lives of citizens.
