Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor:

Reference Thursday, January 30, 2020 Sundance Times, page 3 article, “Time Reporter Recognized with Four State Awards”:

Congratulations Sarah Pridgeon. Your work keeps us so informed and entertained.

Sarah Pridgeon is a most capable and professional journalist. We are very privileged to have her working with our local newspaper. Her reporting is unequaled in northeast Wyoming, and perhaps the entire state. She writes clearly, gets the facts straight and spells the words correctly. I should probably congratulate and thank her support staff also. Afterall, it does take a team.

The weekly column, “This Side of the Pond”, is nothing less than entertaining and educational for those of us rooted her in our corner of heaven, known as northeast Wyoming. I look forward to my Saturday visit to the PO Box to retrieve my Times and take a few moments to read the local news. Then, with a cup of strong, black coffee, I slowly become occupied by “This Side of the Pond”. Wonderful.

Thank you, Sarah.

Phil Dinsmoor

Dear Editor,

I am writing in regards to the dangerous highway conditions on Rupe Hill (about two miles west of Sundance on Highway 14). Due to landslides on this hill, the highway was moved slightly to the north.

Unfortunately, the new road is high and steep on both sides of Rupe Hill, has no guard rails, with steep slopes into deep ditches on both sides that are up to 40-50 feet deep. This road is traveled every day by children, teachers, nurses and other medical and emergency personnel, among many others.

I ask everyone who themselves or whose family and friends are affected by or concerned by this situation to contact Senator Ogden Driskill, Representative Tyler Lindholm and Governor Mark Gordon (contacts listed in this paper) to request that guardrails be installed on this hill. I would like to see them installed before rather than after the first fatality on this hill.
