A thank you to the Veterans Day Parade entries and volunteers

Ron Martin4 years ago2 mins

Dear Editor, The Kingman Downtown Merchants Association would like to thank the community and all of the entries for this year’s Veterans Parade. As you know in 2020 it was cancelled due to the pandemic and we were determined to have a parade this year 2021 thinking that it would be small but the attention and efforts well deserved. However, it was very exciting to have the largest parade ever, with both attendance and registrations to show our support to our veterans. The message was heard loud and clear: Thank you to all members of our military, in all branches, past and…

Surviving a pulmonary embolism

Ron Martin4 years ago4 mins

Dear Editor, On Saturday, Oct. 2 I had to go to the hospital emergency room. The prior Tuesday I had an unusual leg spasm from my left thigh to my groin area. I’ve had pulled muscles from sports off and on and thought it was from exercise or just sitting weird in my recliner. By later Wednesday, I noticed an occasional cough that felt strange. On Thursday, I called my family doctor’s office and reported I was coughing occasionally and didn’t feel right. I was told by the receptionist, “We aren’t seeing sick people and the doctor thinks you should have a…

Stumbling blocks

Ron Martin4 years ago2 mins

Dear Editor, A lot of people today think it is not right to stop people from doing whatever they want to do. Let them make mistakes, let them suffer, let them die. But caring people want to do what they can to prevent misery, disease, and death. Throughout history, this whole loving approach to social prevention has been called rule of law. Law balances freedom of action against curbs on destructive behavior. Letting people always freely make their own choices without consequence is a system of life called radical libertarianism. It was prevalent at the time of Jesus and Jesus…

Response to Lloyd Dickson’s letter of 11/17

Ron Martin4 years ago1 mins

Dear Editor, Mr. Dickson, you missed my points, which were as follows: Anyone who believes that your Socialist government is going to relegate additional taxes to folks making $400k or more IS drinking the Blue Koolaid. Ditto for anyone who can justify the level of surveillance said government wants us to believe benefits us all. 85,000 new IRS agents? Right! I’ll bet they will all wear brown shirts and pass out yellow stars. Just like your pal Social Joe wants to combat Covid. Again, all for the benefit of our fellow man. LOL. At least FDR knew where to find…
