Happy birthday Bullhead City! The Colorado River community that was incorporated on August 28, 1984 is celebrating its 35-year milestone. “We tried incorporation three times and it failed the first two times and it wasn’t until the third time that it passed (by voters),” said Mayor Tom Brady, who moved to Bullhead City in 1982. “I remember when I first got here we had one traffic light in town and that was at Highway 95 and Hancock.” City Manager Toby Cotter told Council members during their meeting last week that cake and ice cream would be provided in the lobby…

I was talking with a friend of mine who resides in Golden Valley and our conversation drifted to wells. He told me his well is about 1,000 feet deep, produces about 11 to 13 gallons per minute and the water coming out of it is about 96 degrees Fahrenheit. He further told me that the water temperature of all of the neighbors’ wells is also about 96 degrees Fahrenheit. I thought the extremely warm water temperature was a little strange because I hadn’t heard of any geothermal activity in Golden Valley or the surrounding area. The warm well water spurred…

Dove season outlook: Expect plenty of birds

Opening day is Sunday, Sept. 1  Arizona’s skies are expected to be filled with flight after flight of doves when the 2019 season gets underway Sept. 1. One of the wettest winters in years gave doves a much-needed boost in 2019. With most birds pulling off as many as a half-dozen nests through the peak hatching periods, hunters shouldn’t have too much trouble filling their limits.      “Doves already are congregating into larger groups,” said Johnathan O’Dell, small game biologist for the Arizona Game and Fish Department. “The morning and evening flights at traditional roost sites have been plentiful….
