A thank you to the Veterans Day Parade entries and volunteers

Ron Martin5 years ago2 mins

Dear Editor, The Kingman Downtown Merchants Association would like to thank the community and all of the entries for this year’s Veterans Parade. As you know in 2020 it was cancelled due to the pandemic and we were determined to have a parade this year 2021 thinking that it would be small but the attention and efforts well deserved. However, it was very exciting to have the largest parade ever, with both attendance and registrations to show our support to our veterans. The message was heard loud and clear: Thank you to all members of our military, in all branches, past and…

Surviving a pulmonary embolism

Ron Martin5 years ago4 mins

Dear Editor, On Saturday, Oct. 2 I had to go to the hospital emergency room. The prior Tuesday I had an unusual leg spasm from my left thigh to my groin area. I’ve had pulled muscles from sports off and on and thought it was from exercise or just sitting weird in my recliner. By later Wednesday, I noticed an occasional cough that felt strange. On Thursday, I called my family doctor’s office and reported I was coughing occasionally and didn’t feel right.

Law balances freedom of action against curbs on destructive behavior. Letting people always freely make their own choices without consequence is a system of life called radical libertarianism.
