Make American great again

Dear Editor, I want to thank Darrell R. Scott for his editorial, “What will you do on judgement” article. I know that President Trump has his way of doing and saying things that’s not liked by some but I don’t know of any other president that has worked so tirelessly to maintain the sanctity of religions and re-instill morals back into everyone’s lives. Inside and some outside sources have been swaying Americans away from these ideals for many years now and they are turning our country into an anti-constitutional state, costing many lives, dividing our people against each other and…

Light your home, business purple on Oct. 22

Dear Editor, October is Domestic Violence Awareness month. The goal is to heighten awareness so victims get the strength to leave their abusers, so neighbors have the courage to call police and for individuals to recognize when a toxic relationship is unhealthy for you and your family.  Physical violence, sexual violence, stalking, emotional abuse, psychological aggression and intimidation are all forms of domestic violence. Many victims do not leave relationships out of fear, lack of support, minimum legal resources and economic barriers.  Most people are already aware that domestic violence happens. But everyone needs to be aware of their own…

Supes vote to maintain COVID emergency declaration

MOHAVE COUNTY – Supervisor Hildy Angius’ push to end Mohave County’s COVID-19 emergency declaration failed in a predictable 3-2 vote during Thursday’s special board meeting in Kingman. Supervisor Ron Gould sided with Angius, while the rest of the board voted to keep in place Chairman Jean Bishop’s March 18 proclamation. Angius and Gould contend dwindling numbers of coronavirus cases and deaths have ended any local emergency that may have existed. And they want government to retreat from edicts and return liberty to the people to make their own health care determinations. “People can make up their own minds themselves how…
