Dear Editor, Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden released a $2 trillion climate plan, that won praise from the previously-critical Sunrise Movement. Unfortunately, so far as I’m aware, the plan does not include funding for cultured-meat research. For those who don’t know, cultured meat is grown from cells, without slaughtering animals. It requires a fraction of the greenhouse-gas emissions that raising livestock does. Dr. Mark Post created the first cultured-beef hamburger in 2013. It cost a whopping $280,000. Soon, he thinks, that price could be reduced to $10. Still, more research is required to make cultured meat economically viable. Politicians who…

Dear Editor, Work hard. You feel better and have more money working than if you are doing nothing. Your job is not forever. Visualize the work you want to do and then move your life toward that kind of work. This may require training. Working a low-level paying job in the profession or industry of interest to gain knowledge will help. Be flexible realizing the work you are doing now is preparing you for other opportunities. Working jobs, you don’t enjoy will still provide valuable lessons for wherever you want to be later in life. You will also have some…

The ole’ Covid Cowboy caught my ear again. He done tol’e me he searched the holy list of lyrics and in the Woods behind Yasgur’s Farm, his two favorite Angels, Lo and Behold helped him re-discover that resounding cheer by Country Joe and the Fish which shall forever be ensconced in history. Here is what he sang to me: Gimme a V Gimme an O Gimme a T Gimme an E What’s that spell?? (Vote) What’s that Spell?? (vote) WHAT’S THAT SPELL?? Come you sisters and bretheren Uncle Sam needs your help again Got himself in a terrible jam Fair…

Dear Editor Going over the manifesto that is being proposed by the democratic party. I am amazed on how they are going to pay for this miracle plan that is supposed to build us back better. It seems that no matter how you look at it and no matter how you try to be fair, some of these plans are impossible to imagine. Most of them are just plain dumb and will put us right back to the Obama days.  Do we want to go back to the mandates and pay when we do our taxes if you don’t have…

Dear Editor, Susan DeLara of Dolan Springs was voted onto the Lake Mohave Ranchos Fire Department (LMRFD) Board, by the four existing members, at Friday’s meeting. She fills the position vacated by Larry Tennant’s resignation in June. She will complete Larry’s term through 2022. Susan aced the most grueling and lengthy interview by Chair Debora Cass of a prospective Board member that I have seen in my nearly 15 years of involvement with the LMRFD. Susan described plenty of experience serving on Boards. More impressively, though, her answers to Cass’s questions revealed her to be a reasonable, independent thinker, who…
