Dear Editor, Social distancing is tough for most of us. We love gathering in ballgames, movies, theatres, restaurants, churches and with family.  Seeing our neighbors and friends in the local grocery or chatting at the post office is a normalcy of life, was a normalcy of life. The new normal is shocking. Now we have to dodge people in the grocery store and be six feet apart in the post office all while wearing a mask. We don’t even know if our neighbor is in the grocery store or the post office. We can hardly recognize our neighbor walking by each…

Dear Editor, We humans have been deluded into believing we are the apex of the mammalian line of beings. WRONG. To examine a few examples, please follow: You can go  into just about any pet emporium and see several thousand square feet of foodstuffs made especially and exclusively for our pet animals. This stuff ain’t cheap, folks! Whether it is intended to entice little Barky or Miss Puss, if you are not an animal lover, you’ll gasp at the prices. If you are one of us people who will spend half a week’s wages on Fifi or Fido and not…

Dear Editor, Some of capitalism’s flaws are beginning to emerge under the strain of the COVID-19 pandemic. Supply and demand is one of its primary cornerstones and has resulted in states fighting over PPE, masks, gowns and ventilators that are being sold to the highest bidder. Reports indicate the 3M Company is manufacturing masks and selling to countries offering cash payments. Sources indicate the Trump administration has been aware of this impending pandemic since January when reports were emerging from China. Instead of preparing, the leaders described this as a hoax that nobody ever expected could happen in a country…

Dear Editor, As the covid-19 pandemic continues to keep us in social distancing, I reflected on Easter morning and what it means to me. Satan, as some people, would love to erase what Easter means and keep God out and the picture of Jesus hidden of what he did for us on the cross. It can’t be done. Easter is not about colored eggs and chocolate bunnies. It is not about gathering in churches and wearing your Sunday best. It’s not about sitting around a table and eating a good meal. It’s not even about being with friends and family….

Dear Editor, Five weeks ago my dog was killed in the parking lot of Walmart in Kingman. I was in the store and was unaware that this had happened. A stranger took his corpse to a veterinary hospital. They were in contact with my sister in Oceanside, California because of information on the chip.  Three hours later she informed me that he had passed away. I was on my way to California for treatment of a recent heart attack so left for California with my heart broken. I am still in the grieving process for my dear Mr. Benny. I…
