COVID and Mohave County

Dear Editor, I only go to the supermarket, doctor’s office and pick-up food now and then at one or two of the restaurants. I’ve noticed that two of our supermarkets enforce wearing a mask and one does not. I will no longer shop at that particular market. The restaurants I have gone to for take – out also enforce the mask rule and people have been abiding by the store’s rules. However, the other morning I went to one of the restaurants just after it opened. I had called my order in so it was ready when I got there….

BOS: Angius presses for anonymous compliance complaints; Gould encourages ‘herd immunity’ mentality

MOHAVE COUNTY – Mohave County Supervisor Hildy Angius, an ardent supporter of the President, beamed as she received and relayed a communication to all near the end of Monday’s three hour-long board meeting. Angius announced the President had exited the hospital where he’s been treated for the coronavirus. “Our President of the United States, Donald J. Trump, just left Walter Reed and he said, ‘don’t be afraid of COVID.’” Angius chuckled, triggering additional jocularity from Supervisor Ron Gould, humored by the President’s Saturday drive around the hospital. “Did he go home or just cruise around the block waving at supporters,”…

Turn off the TV

Dear Editor, As we continue with the COVID-19 nonsense on who’s to blame. I focused on something more pressing. Much more serious and time consuming than who’s the grown up in the room. It even tops what the President and Joe Biden did at the most ridiculous debate we all witnessed. The ever present TV commercials. I’m not talking about Joe Biden or President Trump’s commercials. I’m talking about the ones that ask you about “Erectile Dysfunction ” “Bladder Leaks” and if you’ve been abused by the Boy Scout leaders, Round up commercials and the kicker, call girls who will…

Supervisors keep emergency declaration in place for COVID-19 pandemic

MOHAVE COUNTY – Chairman Jean Bishop’s COVID-19-related emergency declaration for Mohave County remains in effect following Monday’s Board of Supervisors meeting. Supervisor Hildy Angius temporarily postponed her push for a vote to end the emergency so more information can be obtained before the board meets again on Thursday. “I believe we are on the other side of this pandemic and the numbers back me up,” Angius said. “At its height here in Mohave County from June 7 through July 18 there were 1,590 cases with 68 deaths. Now from Sept. 23 through Oct. 3 there were 203 cases and one…

NACFD’s logo being used without permission

Dear Editor, On Wednesday afternoon, the governing board of the Northern Arizona Consolidated Fire District #1 (NACFD) announced that NACFD does not endorse any candidate in any election and any use of NACFD’s logo, patch, or other NACFD images in political material are not authorized by NACFD. This special meeting was scheduled after NACFD became aware that its logo was being used by Rick Veradt, Jerry Lucero, and Sue Brown, without permission, on political signs and on a website. The individuals using the NACFD logo were put on notice that their use is misleading as it falsely portrays NACFD’s support…
