Dealing with the challenges of Christmas.  

Dear Editor, Christmas is a joyful season but always has some challenges. The place of Christmas is often a question. Mary and Joseph ended up in Bethlehem when Jesus was born. They had gone there to pay taxes. Paying taxes is never fun but something we have to do. The place they ended up when Jesus was born was probably not their desired location to bear their first child but they made the most of the location.  Location trips a lot of people up on Christmas. Many have no choice. They will spend Christmas in the nursing home or jail….

Advantages of Active Early Voting List (AEVL)

Being on the Active Early Voting List allows a qualified registered voter to receive their ballot in the mail approximately 26 days before any election that the voter is qualified to vote in.  No more missed elections!!  Getting your ballot early allows you the time to fill out your ballots correctly and completely.  Many votes are not counted because the bubbles are not filled in correctly!  The ballots were 19” long in the last general election because there were so many races and initiatives.  They could be as long or longer in 2024.  Wouldn’t you rather fill those bubbles in…

Unexpected joy

Dear Editor, In this age of sadness and horror, I recently found an oasis of tranquility and peace To top it off, I found just a whole lot of fun! That is right, fun with a capital letter F. At age 84, I am very actively retired and trying to stay active and loose so I can continue to move about for a long time to come. In that regard, I chose to volunteer to work with the folks at St. Vincent DePaul thrift store in Kingman. I had no real idea of what to expect, but since I don’t…

Trump’s mishaps just the tip of the iceberg

Dear Editor, First and foremost, I do not need Ms. Ingalsbee feeling sad for me, and let me be clear I do no hate anyone. I learned a long time ago hate is a worthless waste of emotion and my time. To keep my response to her recent letter asking why I don’t write about convincing Republicans about voting choices, being as brief and as succinct as possible will be difficult. But I thought I would wait until Trump appeared before the court system, just to prove the illogical and vocal disrespect for the judge who was adjudicating his case….
