ADEQ (Arizona Department of Environmental Quality) will issue an Air Quality Control Permit to the steel reshaping plant just west of Kingman.

Nucor purchased the plant from NorthStar last year and spent this time retooling to return it to production. The Nucor Chief Operating Officer is hoping that the plant will open in September but cautioned about economic conditions. The facility will emply up to 50 workers. Good news, jobs for Kingmanites.

If all goes well, Kingman will be getting a Christmas present in December 2010. Dave Zanetell, project manager for the Hoover Dam ByPass Project, has announced a target date of late fall 2010 to open the eagerly awaited bypass that will cut an hour off the travel time between Kingman and Las Vegas.

Now that the support arch for the bridge (named MikeO'Callaghan-Pat Tillman Memorial) is complete and will rise approximately 900 feet above the Colorado River. It has taken almost 20 years from conception to the awaited completion.

The project has seen many delays, but looks like it is finally coming to completion! Good news for Kingman.

A Canadian Company, Rocher Deboule has manganese in its sights in Mohave County. They have purchased Artillery Peak located 80-90 miles south of Kingman.

A company spokesman cites that currently 95% of the manganese used to make U.S. Steel is imported from overseas, particularly from China. China's own needs have reduced the amount of manganese available for export. One of the few American reserves of this mineral is located at Artillery Peak. Although mined before, the company believes there may be up to 150 million tons of 3-4% grade ore, making Artillery Peak the largest source of manganese in the U.S.

The company hopes to have the mine up and running in 2 1/2 years with the hope of employing about 100 people. They currently are in the process of permitting the site.

Kingman is hosting it's annual Relay for Life Event on June 6-7th at White Hills Elementary.

Cancer has taken my husband and father, and this year I intend to join in the event in honor of their lives and the life of my middle son, a childhood cancer survivor. I'm participating not only for them, but for the caregivers that experience the heartbreak of the disease.

There are many fundraising events that proceed the Relay. Our team is sponsoring an event at the local I-Hop on Tuesday, May 26 where 25% of your dinner check will go to the cure. We are also hosting a Rummage Sale on Saturday, May 30th at Realty Executives located at 2403 Stockton Hill Road.

I can't imagine what it will feel like when I place the luminares in honor of my lost loved-ones on the field of the event. I miss both my husband and Dad so much and curse the disease that took them too early in their lives. I hope for the strength to Twitter the event all that night.

I hope to see all of Kingman there in support for the cure!
