Rushville Republican

Letters to the Editor

August 20, 2010

A big thank you

RUSHVILLE —

Dear Editor: The family of Kathleen Ragan, the little 4-year-old from Rushville who was hospitalized from July 2 to July 23 with E. coli resulting in Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome, a disease of the kidneys, wishes to thank first and foremost the many churches for their prayer chains. Without the prayers, Kathleen’s outcome would have been much different. Thanks to Rush Memorial Hospital doctors and nurses, the Peyton Manning Hospital for Children in Indianapolis for their excellent care. Thanks to the media for getting the word out on E. coli to make others aware of the dangers of such illness. To Kasey Crabtree from Milton for setting up the Prayers for Kathleen on Facebook and to the over thousands of responders. Thanks to Brenda and associates at Village Pantry and Brad Mahan and members at the Elks for their many cards and toys to help Kathleen take her mind off her ouchies. Last, but by no means least, the many people who took time from their busy lives to sit at the hospital with Kathleen so her mommy could have a break. Kathleen is still under the doctor’s care at the Peyton Manning hospital, but now is the happy-go-lucky little girl she was before July 2. All the many prayers and acts of kindness will forever be remembered. Angel Campbell Ragan, her mother Bill and Brenda Merrell, grandparents

  • Is Romney still a conservative? TV media doesn't think so

    Dear Editor:
    It's interesting to note that television reporters and talking heads now use the term "conservative" to refer only to those on the extreme far right.

  • RE: Forced "fairness" not government's role

    Dear Editor,
    I again find myself puzzled by Mr. Barada's columns.
    It seems that Mr. Barada believes that that there is an Obama-occupy army waiting around every street corner to kidnap our children and force them into a life of Socialist servitude.

  • What about The Star Spangled Banner?

    Dear Editor,
    When it was recently announced that an Indiana state Senator had introduced a bill calling for rules regulating the performance of our national anthem, some of you may have groaned, "Well, Norm Voiles will certainly weigh in on that one!"

  • Union myths

    Dear Editor:
    If Hoosiers wish to break free from the chains of stagnation and lead the
    country on the road to recovery, they should embrace the right-to-work law.
