I’m writing today because I would like one of the local trash servicers here in Kingman to donate a 4-yard or 6-yard dumpster and place it in front of my house so that I can pick up all the garbage that squatters/homeless have scattered all along the easement between my street and the next street over.

With every paper delivery we are met with the front page Death Watch (COVID deaths).

Many people were not informed on this lithium mining exploration going on in Wikieup.

Looks like it’s time to bundle up because Old Mother Nature is at it again. She has been here forever, much longer than us humans, and is used to having her way.

Apparently the Progressive Socialist Democrat Party along with their president don't think that $28 trillion is too much debt.

I’m sad as I read about the deaths from COVID-19 yesterday – two died in their 70s.

The 2020 election has been over for six months but still some Republicans believe, flamed by Trump’s continued false and unproven claims, that it was stolen from him.

The U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA) designated Western Arizona as an Economic Development District (EDD) or ‘WAEDD’ on June 30, 2020.

A few words on J’aime Morgaine’s Sunday editorial.

I live in the Valle Vista golf course community. All the roads are county roads. For years now, my street has been deteriorating to the point of turning to dirt in places.

I want to thank all of the firefighters that bravely fought the Flag Fire that started Sunday afternoon, April 25.

Reading a note on Kingman streets and repairs, I remember what I suggested to the government.

Looking at the beautiful picture of the buffalo and wondering why you can't come up with a better solution than killing them!

Since moving to the Southern Vista neighborhood seven years ago, I have always been extremely cautious turning north onto Central Avenue (at the watertower) off of Hualapai Mountain Road.

Kingman recently lost a community-minded citizen and U.S. Marine Corps veteran David Bekeart.

We moved to Kingman 36 years ago intending to stay just one year.

Despite Arizona voters defeating a well-funded effort in 2008 to allow small-dollar loans to exceed our state’s interest rate cap of 36% plus fees, a persistent group of online high-cost lenders never lost their appetite for trapping cash-strapped Arizonans in debt.

I lived in Mohave County from 1994 to 2009 and I am saddened that you repeatedly elect a representative who is as blatantly racist and ignorant as Paul Gosar.

To the misinformed: Social Security we pay into; it’s not socialism.

It baffles me that the value of life and limb of American citizens, here in Kingman and all over cities of our nation for that matter, can vary so widely. I speak of private locations such as shopping malls and other high-traffic pedestrian areas.

No doubt gardening has become a passion during the pandemic.

Emergency legislative action needed.

My wife, Frances, and I had COVID-19 in December, 2020.
