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. His memory didn’t have a name but perhaps a pure and joyful remembrance would come back of the guy I wish I got to know better. Like most good omens in my life, he slipped away. The crowd at First Friday swallowed into their boisterous bustle. It was a blind hope anyway. I’d been here my entire life and would have remembered a man…

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,…

Dear Editor, New York’s mayor Eric Adams has recently been on a trip to Mexico and parts of South America preaching the urgent message, “Don’t come to New York City!”  It’s good that he is making this evangelistic crusade to convert those being fooled in third world countries. New York has become a migrant magnet with over 100,00 migrants housed in hotels or wherever they can find shelter.  This should be a trip for President Joe Biden. He seems totally indifferent to the chaos on America’s border. Chaos that has now taken over some of America’s cities. Mayors and Governors are…

Dear Editor, Do you worry about going to hell? Will you burn there in hell’s fire? Will you be in the hands of the Devil? Hell may be a place where people are locked into a room with endless Presidential candidates hollering and speaking over each other to the point that nothing makes much sense and everybody ends up sounding crazier and crazier. I accept what Jesus taught about heaven and hell. He actually talked more about hell than he did heaven. Hell is described as a very sad place of pain and suffering. I certainly do not want to…
