Life Learning, Commitment and Hard Work

Dear Editor, We are always learning. Life is filled with education. We learn all the time.  Every day we receive new information about health, the planet, communication, medicines, the universe and more. Life is a process of learning and developing.   Education is more than grades one through twelve, college, and beyond. There are many aspects to every job we do that we never learned in school. We learn from parents if we will listen. We learn from coworkers. We learn from our failures. We learn how not to do something because we tried it once and it failed. The good…

Turkey deserves a turkey

Dear Editor, I saw in the newspapers where Sen. Jeff Flake has been nominated by President Biden to be ambassador to Turkey. Sen. Flake, who has always managed to live up to his name, was one of the worst senators Arizona ever had. Turkey well deserves him. One turkey to another. Sandee Samoska Kingman

Do what you can and what you enjoy

Dear Editor, You will be most successful if you pursue a career that you are able to do. Some jobs do not mentally or physically suit our abilities. Some people find work to do but are only able to maintain their vocational effort until they are 50 or 55 years old. This is fine as many people are able to financially retire in their fifties. Jobs that require strenuous physical labor become less productive for many as they age.  Often, throughout life we find ourselves working jobs that are available and that pay enough for us to make our living….

With health screenings, timing is everything

Now it is time to catch up on critical health screenings and preventive health visits that have been suspended or delayed due to the pandemic. A recent study by JAMA Network Open revealed that more than 40% of people in the U.S. have put off medical care. Health insurance organizations, such as Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona, have seen an estimated 12% decline in preventive medicine visits since the start of the pandemic. Despite the opportunities provided through virtual care and telehealth,…

America First

Dear Editor, An article by Philip Jenkins written in 2017 and is published on the American Conservative website is proof the conservative’s have always been beholding to the communist. The title of this article asks What Was “America First”? In this article it states “Any ideas associated with America First must, by definition, be regarded as anti-Semitic, pro-Nazi, and toxic.” This statement is an insult to every American that loves their country. It is also the reason everyone calling their self’s conservatives and Republicans was and is against President Trump! How can these morons call the support of our Constitutional…
