Dear Editor, The month of October is designated as Domestic Violence Awareness Month. The overall goal is to bring awareness to the severity of every act of domestic violence.

COVID reporting questioned

MOHAVE COUNTY – Supervisor Travis Lingenfelter believes Mohave County is wasting resources on COVID-19 reporting. Lingenfelter questioned the policy during Monday’s Board meeting as Department of Public Health Director Denise Burley provided another coronavirus update as she’s done many times during the 18-month pandemic. Lingenfelter said Health Department staff and Communications Director Roger Galloway have flooded Board members and the public with information and data that has only been duplicated and is also available on the Arizona Department of Health Services website. “I’ve been on this Board for 10 months now and we’ve been getting them almost every day, if not every day,…

The petition effort needs 10,739 valid signatures submitted no later than July 8 for the Initiative to be placed on the Nov. 2022 General Election Ballot. This idea is way overdue.

Immigration desperation does not make it right

Dear Editor, Imagine a family of 6 people coming to your house. They knock on the door. They look tired, frail, dirty, and very hungry. They are desperate. 2 of the 6 people are under 6 years old. Their clothes are rags and their shoes are barely still on their feet. They tell you about their plight. They have traveled a long way. They left their country in search of a better life. They need you to help them. They need you to give them shelter, food, clothes and some cash. They need to stay with you for a while….
