I remember, as a child, watching a television show called ‘Dobie Gillis.’ One of the characters was a beatnik by the name of Maynard G. Krebs. Every time the word ‘work’ was mentioned, Maynard would jerk as though a cold chill ran through his entire body, and he would raise his voice in tone and pitch to produce a squeak and say “WORK?” Obviously, his beatnik lifestyle was like an allergy to any kind of labor. Some people detest work. The reasons vary and may include the fact that they do not like their employer, don’t like the work itself,…

Pam Wanner7 years ago2 years ago2 mins

A Bullhead City man cried throughout a Friday hearing in Kingman before he was given a life prison term for killing his friend’s eight-year-old daughter nearly five years ago. Justin Rector, 31, pleaded guilty last December to first degree murder in the asphyxiation death of Isabella (Bella) Grogan-Cannella.

Her partially-clad body was found in a makeshift grave about a half mile from her home in September, 2014. His father, daughter and two sisters addressed the Court,…
