Dear Editor, Christmas has different beginning times for most everyone. For some it’s when you put up the Christmas tree and decorations. For others it’s when you wrap some presents and put them under the tree. While for others it’s about the Christmas music. When they first start hearing Christmas songs on the radio then Christmas has begun for them.

When I was a child Christmas started for me when everything came together. The…

Does recall really have anything to do with patriotism?

Dear Editor, I am referencing the protests that are occurring in Mohave County regarding The Great American Pizza place. Specifically “Peaceful Protest – We Will Not Comply”; occurring on December 4; Regarding the owner of GAP; he has several signs up that show his patriotism as a call to the public to join in with him to recall Board of Supervisors Chairman Jean Bishop. It seems that there is a substantial amount of social media sites dedicated to attack anyone (yes, even Republicans) that disagrees with what the owner is doing. Some of us who disagree (because of unpatriotic and…
