Complain if you have problems

Dear Editor, If you live in Valle Vista and you want it to look like a north area of Kingman in Mohave County then please don’t complain. By not complaining to the sheriff, road department, code enforcement, public health, animal control, our own board of directors, and any other applicable department we will take on the same look. If that’s what  you want then don’t complain and just go look at the area. That’s Valle Vista in the future. All of these departments have rules and regulations for a reason and it goes for everyone and not just a few….

Trump continues to pose danger to America

Dear Editor, Now that the conspiracy theories about the election have been thoroughly debunked, one would think the conservative republicans moaning, groaning and sniveling should subside. Donald J. Trump may honestly add loser to his already stellar curriculum vitae. It remains amazing, even incomprehensible to me, how people prefer to obtain their news from social media or other questionable sources. The adherents believe the dubious information, without bothering to investigate. Yet they will doubt, even condemn as false, credible sources of proven facts from individuals who have spent years educating themselves studying the issues. Thanks to letters written to and…

Mohave County Sherriff’s Annual Candy Crawl a huge success

Dear Editor, Halloween night was anything but hollow. Once again, the Mohave County Sheriff’s Office POP (Public Outreach Program) hosted the 3rd annual Candy Crawl. This event provides a safe and fun filled environment for families to enjoy the traditions of trick or treating on Halloween night. The annual event was on the verge of being cancelled this year due to the COVID pandemic and constraints, however, the event organizers were bound and determined to offer a safe environment for families to get out and enjoy a night of fun and entertainment. The response was astounding as an estimated 5,000…

This nation has an uphill battle

Dear Editor, Poor Donald J. Trump and family, ousted from public housing, the shame! At last Americans have had it. Since the spineless Senate politicians would not vote to impeach Trump, it was left up to the people to finally say enough. Time for a change to civility and a little compassion, time to heal the malignancy allowed to fester by this administration and get over our worldwide embarrassment! Lindsey Graham, Ted Cruz, and Marco Rubio all know what Donald Trump was after their debates. As soon as they found out Trump’s vicious vindictive nature, they all became sycophants, afraid…

Socialism is taking over our country

Dear Editor, We have finally done it. We have gone full circle and have given in to a socialist agenda. It has been truly amazing how this generation could be so ignorant to the damage they are asking for and now we are going to be forced to submit to the mandates that Biden and Harris will create for the American people. We will be paying for it greatly. Not all at once but slowly, over time. The socialist agenda has been in the making for a long time. By getting rid of the basics in our schools and inserting…

Keep Thanksgiving, family and friends alive

Dear Editor, Joe Biden or Donald Trump will never visit me in my home, stand beside me at the funeral home or dance at my wedding. I will not be receiving any calls from either of them to pray for me during sickness or to check on how my children are doing. I probably will never sit in a room with them to visit, laugh and tell funny stories or just to hang out over a cup of coffee. I do not personally know either one. I welcome the opportunity to visit with either of them, but doubt it will…
