Dear Editor, I am a retired Los Angeles county firefighter. I served 31 years and retired in 1999. We moved to Kingman 10 years ago. We live in the NACFD district and have noticed a lot of campaign signs for former board members Lucero, Veradt, and Brown. On these signs they say if elected they will reopen five closed fire stations. Why are those stations closed? No fire chief in the world wants to close a working station. The reason a station has to close is because there is no longer the tax base to fund it. Some of those…

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.

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…
