Homing

A Short Story by Jack Mint I had noticed him as if remembering someone from the past. Curiosity pulled me with the promise of blissful nostalgia if I could just get a look at his face. His memory didn’t have a name but perhaps a pure and joyful remembrance would come back of the guy I wish I got to know better. Like most good omens in my life, he slipped away. The crowd at First Friday swallowed into their boisterous bustle. It was a blind hope anyway. I’d been here my entire life and would have remembered a man…

Miller’s Folly: The sunken treasure of Lake Havasu

LAKE HAVASU CITY – The Lake Havasu Museum is giving the community the opportunity to discover some real life pioneers.  Miller’s Folly is the name of a 60-foot-long double-decker paddlewheel boat designed and built by Simon (Sy) Miller. During the 1960s and 1970s, Miller’s Folly was the ideal party boat for many Havasu families.  Originally from North Dakota, Miller was born in 1920.  After retuning home from the military at the age of nineteen, Miller married Estelle Hickey.   By 1960, the Miller family moved to Salton Sea in Desert Shores, Calif., along with their two children, Michael and Victoria.

Suspected case of Naegleria fowleri investigated in Mohave County

MOHAVE COUNTY – Public health officials from Mohave County and the Arizona Department of Health Services are working together on a suspected case of Naegleria Fowleri. Specimens were sent Oct. 24 to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for testing.  The CDC says Naegleria fowleri is commonly known as the “brain-eating ameba.” It’s a free-living ameba (a single-celled living organism), so small that it can only be seen with a microscope. It is commonly found in warm fresh water (such as lakes, rivers, and hot springs) and soil. Only one species of Naegleria infects people: Naegleria fowleri.  The investigation into possible exposures and exposure locations is ongoing. The…
