Postponed. Or, just flat-out scrubbed. Looking back, 2020 will go down as the year in which our daily lives were turned on their ears, not so much remembered for what we did but what we couldn’t do. Fortunately, hunting memories are waiting to be made when the 2020 dove season opens Sept. 1. It will still be important to remain physically distant from other groups, or persons not in your same party or household, of course, but Arizona’s dove hunters are strongly encouraged to stay socially connected…

Drug courier takes prison deal

BULLHEAD CITY – A drug mule from Bullhead City pleaded guilty and went straight to jail Tuesday, willfully skipping the 30-day period that usually elapses before sentencing. Amanda Boone, 37, told Mohave County judge Doug Camacho she prefers to start serving time to get it over with as soon as possible.

Several charges in two criminal cases were dismissed in exchange for Boone’s conviction on a transportation of danger drugs for sale charge. Prosecutor Rod Albright said Boone was driving when pulled over on Interstate 40, about eight…

Shuttered enterprises could re-open next Thursday

One week more in that same range, under 10%, is required for the county to reach the benchmark where gyms, restaurants and some other closed enterprises can reopen under modified…

Biden and Trump – does age matter?

Dear Editor, John F. Kennedy was 43 years old when he was elected to serve as President of the United States in 1960. His age did not hurt him on election day. Barack Obama was 47 years old when he became President of the United States in 2008. His age, skin color and limited number of years that he had served in the United States Senate did not hurt him when it came to election day. Donald Trump was 70 years old when he was elected in November, 2016 as President of the United States. He had never held a…
