Mohave County sheriff’s deputies responded in April 2018 to a 911 hang-up call originated from a home in the 1700 block of Hammer Lane in Fort Mohave. Arriving deputies reportedly encountered Smith on a bicycle outside a residence on that block. When deputies asked if he had any weapons Smith emptied his pockets of items that included a…

Domestic Violence: A pattern that can be broken


Dear Editor,

 Regardless our life upbringing we are free to choose who we are and who we want to become. 
I was raised in Italy in a family where unfortunately domestic violence was a multigenerational factor. I have witnessed both my grandfathers, using physical violence against my grandmothers, but the most disturbing reality I had to face as a child was my father, repeating the same pattern of violence on my mother. 
I don’t want to go into the gory details of how many times my mother was sent to the hospital for consequences of my father’s violence, or how many…

The changing seasons of life

Several weeks ago, we had the greatest snowfall that I have seen since moving to Kingman ten years ago. With as much as sixteen inches of snow recorded, the temperatures dropped accordingly. The fresh, brilliant white snow brought a cleanness that was undisturbed for a short amount of time. Its beauty was unparalleled. But as the weeks have passed, so has the winter weather, and the trees began to bud, and flowers to bloom. To look at things as they are today, you would never know that our Kingman weather was the harshest in forty years. Seasons come and go,…
