A life is worth saving

Dear Editor, Interventions are extremely helpful tools for families who are dealing with a loved one who is completely against getting help and resistant to going to treatment. If an addict is struggling with addiction, but refuses help, interventions can be a powerful tool used to save their life. They can help an addict make a logical choice for themselves when they might not be able to do so alone. Some families believe if an addict or alcoholic isn’t willing to get help and go to rehab on their own, they aren’t going to force them to go. Here’s an…

We must contain this disease of creeping socialism

Dear Editor, Having just read in the Kingman Daily Miner, the article on the resurgent “Indivisible” movement in Kingman, I am struck by numerous inconsistencies. The article’s banner promoting a local progressive revolution is a quite clear statement of intent. It does however raise the question, what flavor of progressive? Is it a desire to progress toward clean and safe gang-free streets to go with a drug free culture and safe, clean housing? Should we expect full employment and schools that produce motivated, productive young citizens? Or is it the desire to have progressive leadership that fosters massive tent cities…

Reader accuses Frontier of consumer fraud

Dear Editor, After Suddenlink raised our service over 70%, I decided to call Frontier Communications for a quote. They quoted me a price if I took the service for two years. I asked if there were any add-ons. The agent said no. I agreed to their offer. I asked again if there were any other charges. The agent again said no. When I received the first bill it was 40+% higher than what I had agreed to. I called Frontier and they told me they add taxes and fees to all quotes. I asked why they don’t disclose this when…

Sounding the alarm

Dear Editor, This is your wake up call, Kingman. The first shots in a war to take control of city government have been fired by bureaucrats in city offices. They are going to attempt to change the terms of elected city officials. The method used will be the referendum. This will make the attempt seem to be a citizen-drive issue. Sneaky of them, isn’t it? Their stated purpose, “To increase political stability by increasing the time the mayor holds office.” The effect of such a move is actually to remove you, the voting citizen, from the process as much as…

Lets appreciate our teachers

Dear Editor, I would take this opportunity now that my four years in high school are up to thank the principal, the kitchen staff, the security guards, and teachers of Lee Williams High School for four years of wonderful memories and experience. I would also like to thank the teachers who were part of the effort to help me graduate from high school. It is common to hear and read in the newspapers about shootings in the high schools, teachers having sexual relationships with students, and abuse or bullying in schools, but hardly anybody takes the time to praise the…

Light of Truth

Dear Editor, There is oppression in America -for those who believe in truth and justice. The Democrats suppress free speech, the truth is racist they say -After all, you are supposed to serve the state, not the state offer freedom from tranny. There is persecution in America; of men who think that liberty means freedom from government misuse od power, of men who dare read truth and real science, of men not of twisted democrat communist ideology. Most of all, there is contempt for human life. What, to the democrats, is one man in a crowded world? Now, suddenly, there…
