LMRFD board needs more businesspersons

Dear Editor, Susan DeLara of Dolan Springs was voted onto the Lake Mohave Ranchos Fire Department (LMRFD) Board, by the four existing members, at Friday’s meeting. She fills the position vacated by Larry Tennant’s resignation in June. She will complete Larry’s term through 2022. Susan aced the most grueling and lengthy interview by Chair Debora Cass of a prospective Board member that I have seen in my nearly 15 years of involvement with the LMRFD. Susan described plenty of experience serving on Boards. More impressively, though, her answers to Cass’s questions revealed her to be a reasonable, independent thinker, who…

Manager Toby Cotter told Bullhead City council members that the police department is in good hands with longtime Capt.

Peace and Literacy

Dear Editor, September not only heralds the infamously lovely harvest moon which is to be October 1. September is also National Literacy month and Sept. 8 is International Literacy Day.

Go online for background info on these three events. Note: Other events are honorably recognized as well in September; however, this article will be limited to the issues of peace and literacy. Ordinarily, in Kingman there is…

Report card out on COVID-19 case positivity rate

MOHAVE COUNTY – Gyms, bars and some water business enterprises that have remain shuttered during the COVID-19 pandemic could get a reprieve Thursday. Mohave County has already met two of three benchmarks allowing them to reopen under various restrictions and regulations. “What we haven’t been meeting is the percent positivity number put out by the state. Last week it was at 9.5%, which is just under 10%,” city manager Toby Cotter said during Tuesday’s Bullhead City council meeting. “So, the number on Thursday, if it’s under 10%, all the gyms can reopen but they have to follow the rules.” Council…
