Editor, Daily Press:

I am writing to commend the Cherokee County Health Department and the efficient process they have employed this year to distribute not only seasonal flu vaccines, but also H1N1 vaccines.

Each year, we obtain flu shots for our family members. Sometimes it goes quickly and smoothly, and other times it is a bit chaotic. This year, when obtaining a seasonal flu shot for our daughter, we arrived at the clinic and were quickly directed to the door by personnel outside the clinic. There we were given necessary forms, which were completed and returned to more personnel in the hallway, who asked us to follow arrows to the waiting area.

In the waiting area we were asked to sit in specific seats to maintain a first-come, first-served method of processing patients. We were called into the clinic area and within 10 minutes of arriving at the clinic, we were on our way back home.

Early last week, I called the Cherokee County Health Department regarding H1N1 vaccines and spoke to Michelle. I’m sorry I did not get her last name. She was very helpful and assisted me in setting up an appointment for our 11-year-old daughter to get her H1N1 flu shot. At the appointment, the nurse was very efficient and helpful, and again, we were on our way in less than five minutes.

Our thanks to the Cherokee County Health Department for continuing to provide many important services to the citizens of our county and especially for their perfected system this year during this time of national, even international, concern over the rapid progress of the H1N1 virus.

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.

No tax for B&GC
