MOHAVE COUNTY – Some terse words from Mohave County Board of Supervisor Gary Watson punctuated the start of Monday’s Board of Supervisors meeting that included action on a veritable potpourri of items. Watson expressed his disdain for civil disobedience that has shocked the nation with violence and vandalism from Minneapolis to Scottsdale. Watson said the police action that choked the life out of George Floyd was unconscionable and he said those officers responsible should meet justice swiftly. Yet Watson said he swore an oath on five different occasions to uphold the law and protect the people of Arizona and that…

Americans have the right to free speech. Free speech does not mean destroying property, hurting police officers and criminal activities. The question many Americans are asking today is who is funding…

How are you using your words?

Pam Wanner6 years ago2 mins

As our nation goes through these times of tribulation and turmoil, I am reminded of “words”. Words are powerful, if used correctly. To many times we say things that devastate someone’s hope and dreams with what they say. Recently, I was grocery shopping and overheard this conversation, “Can you help me sanitize these carts please?” Answer: “No, that’s not in my job description”. I couldn’t help but ask, “Why not? Don’t you work here too?” This person seemed nice and she was young too but I couldn’t help but be a little turned off and her niceness disappeared. All I…
