The enemy within

Dear Editor: As I sit here and watch and listen to the House proceedings to impeach President Trump I am overwhelmed with a deep, insidious sick feeling in my gut and cosmic disturbance in my being. If there was ever any breach of conscience, common sense, honor, dignity or law, we are seeing it now being displayed without shame by the corrupt Washington Establishment. Oh doesn’t Pelosi look as if she is in her most glorious “High” Chair Woman Moment with her blue dress and matching designer mask. If the American people wanted to see sharks in frenzy they would…

Plea deal rejected for Escalante

BULLHEAD CITY – A local judge last Friday rejected a plea agreement for the last of three defendants being prosecuted for a Feb., 2019 drug bust in Mohave Valley. Mohave County Superior Court Judge Derek Carlisle said it was unfair that Javier Escalante, 41, Ontario, California receives less prison time than another co-defendant who was less culpable. Carlisle said a presentence report indicated that Escalante was directing co-defendants Maria Kormes, 33, Mohave Valley and Edgar Melgoza, 39, Fresno, California when drugs were seized from two vehicles during traffic stops. Carlisle sent Melgoza to prison for 7.5 years in October under…

MCSC is ill-conceived

Dear Editor, The pending proposal to the Mohave County Board of Supervisors to designate Mohave County a Constitutional Sanctuary County (MCSC) is not simply redundant, since we live in a nation governed by a Constitution, but also absurdly ill-conceived. This proposed declaration appears to be based upon a group of citizens whose goal is to monitor governmental overreach and is currently focused on COVID19 restrictions. Their contention is that current restrictions regarding COVID19 violate their constitutionally guaranteed rights. I ask ’what about other’s rights to continue to live? Are these people’s right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness…

KINGMAN – Kingman residents are highly satisfied with city sanitation service and many support a rate increase to maintain twice weekly pickup. Those were some of the results of a sanitation service survey that Public Works Director Rob Owen recently shared with the city council. Owen said he was surprised and pleased that 1,966 of the program’s 11,800 residential customers responded to the survey.

Spano charged in one-man crime wave

KINGMAN – Police Chief Rusty Cooper said authorities don’t know if drugs or mental health conditions explain what motivated a Kingman man’s bizarre crime spree on Jan. 7. The ordeal began with a 911 call at 3:08 p.m. that a man confronted and assaulted a 76-year-old woman in the parking lot of Walmart, at 3300 Stockton Hill Road. “He punched the victim in the head and face, knocking her to the ground,” Cooper said. The suspect was later identified as Robert Spano, 42. Cooper said Spano tried to take the woman’s keys from her pockets to steal her vehicle. He…
