Dear Editor, Prayers for the devastated people in the Middle East.  Prayers for the families who have had loved ones murdered before their very eyes.  Prayers for the families who have loved ones held as hostages. We pray for their safety and release.  Prayers that hate filled terrorists may be overcome. Why do we have such evil on this planet? Why is there so much hate tied to a religion? Why is religion used to carry out barbaric acts of murder and violence? Because evil is an unrelenting force. Evil can make anything bad. The goal of any religion should…

Dear Editor, I do not wish to be a Mocking bird but even though it is a done deal I feel the need to tweet about a recent decision of the Kingman City Council. The decision to renegotiate a contract with Bird Scooters. Now please do not get me wrong I really admire and respect each and every council person and our great Mayor, all high-caliber people proving birds of a feather flock together.  Although this may be unPheasant and Hawkword to say, I think the council’s decision was for the birds. Despite the fact that the council made some…

A Short Story by Jack Mint I had noticed him as if remembering someone from the past. Curiosity pulled me with the promise of blissful nostalgia if I could just get a look at his face.

EDITOR’S NOTE: The following is in response to Lloyd Dickson’s letter of Oct. 4, “Who Would Consider Voting for Trump”. Dear Editor, In America we are supposed to settle our political differences via the ballot box, and not in legal charges, especially those with substantial legal deficiencies.  For Mr. Dickson’s information, the Democrats have disputed each election won by Republicans in my long memory.  Today they call such disputes “crimes”. So, my question for Mr. Dickson is why don’t you spend your time and effort producing letters designed to convince Republicans as to why they should vote for the candidate…

Dear Editor, As a passionate member of our community, I am writing to share my perspective on why the inclusion of the Confederate battle flag and others that are being banned/cancelled by this new KAVA group that is organizing our Kingman Veterans Day parade is an opportunity to foster unity and honor all veterans. Veterans Day is a time-honored occasion when we come together as a nation to express our gratitude and appreciation for the brave men and women who have selflessly served in our armed forces. It is a day to focus on our shared values of freedom, sacrifice,…
