Dear Editor, In a world that seems a little crazy and with so many negative comments, I wanted to take the time to share my appreciation for a Kingman Police Officer.  During my workday, I was required to involve the police in a situation. Officer Ashley Walker was the one we were fortunate enough to have show up. She understood special needs and treated the family with compassion and understanding. While remaining completely professional, she was able to provide the parent with encouragement and shared information that enabled the parent to feel at ease. I feel Ashley is an asset…

We see so much change taking place in this our United States, demonstrations (often not peaceful), anti-police and anti-establishment. History of our country destroyed by way of statues torn down, graffiti writing and burning.

If has been well over a century ago the medical profession began postulating wearing gloves, masks, and using sterile equipment in a sterile environment, reduced nosocomial infections in post-op patients. Granted, there is now a fringe group questioning the veracity of such procedures. Just as there are those who…
