Fair takeover compromise

KINGMAN – Mohave County supervisors have opted for compromise after voting Aug. 16 for immediate termination of a lease allowing the Fair Association to operate the Fairgrounds facilities in Kingman and hold events there.

Fair Association Chairman Jerry McGuire made clear his disappointment with Monday’s Board action. “The immediate hostile takeover and the bullying of our Board and staff was divisive and harmful to many good people,” McGuire said. 40-year Kingman resident Doug Scholl urged supervisors to revisit the…

The good people do not have guns. The bad people…

The Taliban

Dear Editor, With the Taliban now as the Afghan government, it is very possible they will revert in culture back to the 4th century, but with 20th century weapons. If this happens, they will apply a severe interpretation of Islam and the Qur’an. With the Taliban, Islam’s Sharia Law will be strictly followed in a most conservative, militant view. Sharia Law regulates public behavior, private behavior, and even private beliefs. Sharia Law also favors corporal punishment and capital punishment over incarceration. The Taliban will likely be the most intrusive and restrictive government, especially against women. Women will go back to…
