Dear Editor, A huge thank you shout out from Dig It! Last week, Cub Scout Pack 66 and Girl Scout Troop 7478 came together to help move fertilizer for the community garden. The Finney family coordinated the efforts. The manure came from the Alpaca of the Southwest in Kingman.   Many thanks to the Scouts, Finney family and to Ron at the Alpaca Farm for this generous gift to keep our gardens growing! Good job everyone. Your efforts are so appreciated. Denise Neath Dig It Kingman Community Gardens

The Statue of Liberty would weep if it could. The French of long ago, who created the statue as praise to Americans on their centennial for breaking the bonds of slavery to European royalty and creating the world’s first true republic ruled by the common man and breaking the chains of its own black slavery through its recent American Civil War, would also weep were they here to witness it. Alexis de Tocqueville, were he alive, would weep to see the world’s greatest experiment in liberty fail due to that which he feared, which is that, “…in the human heart…

Conservatives take note! President Trump has managed to tick off a bunch of military big wigs; John Kelly, Martin Dempsey, James Mattis, Mike Mullin plus his own Secretary of Defense Mark Esper. Seems they all agree there is no reason to invoke the “Insurrection Act” to quell protesters. By the way, Esper will probably be out of a job because he had the backbone to publicly disagree with Trump. Now we learn all four former living presidents as well as Colin Powell and Mitt Romney are showing disdain for supporting Trump. Perhaps it is my paranoia, but I have to…

Folks it isn’t the virus we need to be concerned about. “Stupid” is the real problem. I don’t know how many times I need to mention this but I guess more than several. Maybe that’s the real new normal. One thing is very clear and that is many people have absolutely no ability to think! Clear concise thought is a thing of the past. Truth and facts mean nothing. All you have to do now is plant the seeds of stupid. And watch it grow. So here we had the entire country locked down, schools shut down and every other…

Where, in which rule book or statute is it stated that when a group of people are angry (even justifiably so) that they are allowed to destroy private property and steal from blameless victims. How has it come to be that our society is so fractured that those people destroying the belongings and the lifelong work of others feel no remorse? Why is it that those people who knowingly choose to become felons see no wrong in their actions? How can it possibly be, that elected officials whose job is to see to the good of their communities, are openly…
