Dear Editor, I’ve been a bicycle rider my whole life. Fifty years ago, this month I was riding my bike about six miles round trip to Bible school at Tomahawk, Kentucky. I did so for an entire week. During the week I was one of several young people who prayed the prayer to receive Christ. On Sunday morning in 90-degree July heat I put on the best clothes I owned and rode my Western Auto yellow three speed bike almost five miles one way over two mountain hills to Inez, Kentucky. I was a bit wet with sweat after that…

Dear Editor, The LMRFD is supported by a few thousand taxpayers in Dolan Springs and Meadview. Its two-personnel cover fire and EMS service for a 3300 sq. mi. area, including 100+ miles of State Hwy and county roads servicing traffic to the Grand Canyon Skywalk. Taxpayers are frequently left with no fire or EMS coverage while their ambulance runs calls on Highway 93. It is essential that the LMRFD include volunteers on its roster for any hope of fire or EMS service for those who foot the bill! There must be funding included for volunteer training/support. Chair Debora Cass actively…

Dear Editor, When my kids were little, I would get a kick out of watching them imitate each other. The oldest would start and the youngest, being five years younger, would follow.

Dear Editor, Don’t give in that you cannot do any better. You can do better if you put your mind to doing better. If you give up, then you don’t have a chance. The only people who do better and go forward are those who try. Everyone has the freedom to try.  Think about what you would like for your life to look like. Get a clear picture in your mind. What would it take to achieve that life? Somethings are difficult to achieve but most situations can be made better. What will it take to make your life a…

Dear Editor, An article appeared in the Kingman Daily Miner Sunday, July 5, 2020 stating that the Kingman Farmers Market had moved to a dirt lot between the Art Hub and St. Vincent’s. Interesting that the reporter did not come down and interview Thunder-Rode where the market has been held for many years. What the article left out and what the good people of Kingman need to know is the sleazy, slimy, underhanded, low-life, disgusting way they did it, not just to the good residents of the city of Kingman who have enjoyed coming to the market at the Thunder-Rode…
