One night can leave you in severe pain!

Matthew Wanner5 years ago3 mins

Dear Editor, I am a 79 year old retired firefighter. I worked for L.A. County Fire Dept. for 31 years. I had numerous injuries throughout my career. Since late February, I hurt my left hip and now need a hip replacement, but in the meantime, old fire injuries surfaced: an MRI on my right shoulder and torn left knee. The shoulder is bad, but at my age, I choose not to rebuild it. In September, I had outpatient surgery on the knee. Then a surgery date for the hip was set for Dec. 6; less than a week later, it…

Develop a plan for 2022

Matthew Wanner5 years ago2 mins

Dear Editor, Proverbs 29: 18 says, “Where there is no vision the people perish.” Everyone needs a strategy. You may be 25 or 85 years in age. Who cares? Probably the only one who cares about your age is you. Your age either tells you that you are too young or too old. Remember, age is only a number. We have to put numbers aside and go with our hearts. If God is in it then don’t worry about the number. What do you want to do? One of the ways to know the will of God is to determine…

The JAVC going into 2022

Pam Wanner5 years ago3 mins

Dear Editor, Did 2021 just fly by? Seems like. We now enter the land of diet food and exercise equipment. Just a suggestion: don’t overdo it and get your doctor to approve. Just a quick look bac on 2021. It seems impossible but COVID-19 is still hanging in. We lost some good friends and I especially miss Chaplain Paul Pitts. He was there when I didn’t think I needed him, but I did. A reminder for all of us: don’t be the toughie; ask for help before the situation gets out of hand. As we move into January, it looks…

SBDC creating small business growth

Pam Wanner5 years ago1 mins

Dear Editor, This year with the help of our partners, MCC Small Business Development Center (SBDC) assisted more than 160 clients, created 69 new jobs and helped retain 30 existing jobs. We raised more than $5.9 million in new capital for new business startups and business expansions; assisting clients in starting 40 new businesses and helping to increase small business revenues by more than $1.7 million. From Colorado City to Lake Havasu City and in between, we could not have made these economic development contributions in Mohave County, AZ without our partners. So cheers to you along with a big thank…

Response to Lloyd Dickson’s letter of Dec. 15

Pam Wanner5 years ago2 mins

Dear Editor, Hey Lloyd, once again you addressed my comments with typical liberal rhetoric instead of addressing my issues. And, just like your friends in the liberal media, you interpret my responses and then regurgitate them to support your myopic view of conservatives. I never said or indicated in any way that “well-offs” shouldn’t pay their fair share. I said (in essence) that anyone who thought that only the “well-off’s” are going to get stuck with the bill needs to renew their subscription to “Fairies Live Among Us” magazine. Regarding the Patriot Act, if there’s a provision contained within it…
