							As a 
							community we need to be able to talk openly about 
							matters that affect the quality of our lives. The 
							most effective and least offensive manner to get 
							your point across is to stick to the issue 
							and refrain from commenting on another person's 
							opinion. Letters that deviate from focusing on the 
							issue may be rejected or edited and marked as such.

            | To the editor: As many of you 
			know, there was a bomb threat at LMH on Friday, April 26th. The 
			Lincoln City police and all their partners took the call seriously 
			and were prompt and efficient in clearing the buildings and 
			protecting the patients and staff of both the hospital and the 
			attached Springfield Clinic building.  We are very blessed to have such dedicated and 
			skilled officers protecting us. Thanks to all of those who were on 
			duty and those off duty officers and paramedic staff called in to 
			help. There was a tremendous response to this situation and I am so 
			grateful.
 Sincerely,
 Melissa Cox MD
