Dear Sir,

I would like to respond to the article “Lakeside traffic chief gets a dose of road rage.”

Dear Sir,

Re: June 2-8 edition of the Reporter, page 10.  Lakeside traffic chief gets a dose of road rage. As a retired police officer from  an unnamed Canadian city, it was with much interest and some concern that I read of the actions of a woman, identifying herself as a Canadian, toward the local traffic commandant. I am appalled by this person’s attitude toward the police, and I wonder if she displayed the same sort of attitude toward the police in her Canadian home.

Dear Sir:

My husband and I applied for IMSS through the Chapala office in May 2011.  We followed every instruction to the letter … completing applications, paying fees, getting blood, urine and ECG tests, keeping detailed records of every visit, and making multiple copies of every document.  Based on my ECG test, and saying that I had a heart problem, IMSS sent me to Tlajomulco to see a cardiologist who looked at the very same ECG printout and said, “I don’t know why they sent you to me.  This is perfectly normal.”

Dear Sir,

Some of the people who have chosen to live in Mexico need to get a life.  “Live” and “life” being the key words here.

Dear Sir,

I was bemused by the letter in the Reporter complaining about barking dogs at the animal shelter in a commercial area on the Carretera in Riberas. Are there actually places at Lakeside where barking dogs are not heard? Perhaps in a gated community where, I suppose, they may be prohibited?
