Dear Editor, We like good news but typically the news is not good. Too often no news is good news. In reality, no news is bad news for us all.  There is lots of recent bad news.  A crazed gunman entered a dance hall in Monterey Park, California killing 10 people and wounding many innocent people.  A […]

Dear Editor, We have just hit our debt ceiling for everything we spent on credit last year. It’s happened year after year, in both Democratic and Republican administrations, and every time Congress simply votes to increase the debt limit and we move on our merry way. It’s important that we pay our bills, especially when […]

Dear Editor, A retired minister and his wife had never owned a house. They had spent all their married lives living in housing provided by churches. At age 65 they bought a house and financed it for 15 years. They had been frugal and had saved a good down payment. They paid for the house […]

Dear Editor, What’s up, Bro? Or is it “Bruh”? I read that Bruh is an alternative version of Bro. What is the reason for Bruh if we already have Bro? What must women think about all this self-indulgent masculine wordiness? Thank goodness they know better. Then again, I’m reminded to include “gurls”, and “grrrls.” Maybe […]

Kingman City Council Members, I’m writing this email regarding the city’s 2023 capital allocation plans, repeal of prop 415, and the possible cancelation of the downtown improvement project.  I’m one of the owners and cofounders of  Sea Dog Merchants located at 211 East Beale. My family and I moved here in 2018 from Southern California, […]

Dear Editor,  So, there’s potholes in Kingman and the roads need attention? Yep. Always has been. Always will. This town also needs a social and cultural heart for its residents – old and new – along with tourists and visitors. Downtown Kingman is a swirl of locally owned businesses, historical relevance, and a visual and […]

Dear Editor, Recently, in a Mexican restaurant in Houston, Texas, a patron shot and killed a man who was robbing other patrons. The robber was masked and brandishing what appeared to be a pistol. If the man who shot the robber is charged with murder for protecting himself and others from a potentially lethal threat, […]

Dear Editor, First, I just want say ‘thank you’ to Travis Lingenfelter for his stand against the invasion of the Dollar General stores here in Kingman. I know many people who leave Kingman to go to Bullhead City or even Las Vegas to go shopping. That is ridiculous. The county supervisors need to stop this […]

Dear Editor, The plan to house migrants at a former Chicago school brings up an idea mentioned in Utah from time to time. Why don’t we temporarily free up ill-occupied or unoccupied downtown buildings or floors to serve as winter homeless shelters for our wandering mentally ill? The problem with we Americans today is that […]
