Then a letter appears in the newspapers which shocks the sensibilities such as “Schiff blasts democrats” in the Aug. 21 edition. How does anyone equate his statement, “it is the turning out of voters that wins elections,” with the FACT Hillary Clinton garnered just shy of three million MORE votes than Donald Trump, yet she is NOT our president elect? Majority rules, I think not. It seems the antiquated electoral college actually elects the president, thereby engendering the thought (my vote really doesn’t…

The young don’t know how good they have it

Dear Editor, While shopping at my local Walmart, I happened to be standing in line behind a young lady and three young children. I will assume by the looks of her grocery cart, they were all her children. As she began to unload her nearly over-flowing cart, I was jealous! There were so many snacks, i was almost drooling.

But alas, we are now punished with HEALTHY…

Grain silo project approved in downtown Kingman

KINGMAN – Several downtown Kingman property owners objected when the city council approved a proposed grain silo for the Rickety Cricket brewery operation on Beale St. Owner Terry Thomson sought an encroachment permit to place the 31-foot-tall structure that can store up to 55,000 pounds of grain on a portion of the public sidewalk. Thomson answered questions, expressed pride in the success of his business and bristled at the blowback. “If we’re not at all proud of what I’ve built downtown, then I’m fighting the wrong battle right now,” Thomson said. “The grain silo is one more additional cost that…
