I have a small confession, I'm a city girl...born and raised back on the east coast....now living in Kingman Arizona.

I've gotten accustomed to seeing cattle, quail, coyotes, and other critters right out my back door. But today takes the cake. A bear wandered down from Hualapai Mtn and showed up at our local post office. Of all days, I left my camera sitting on my desk so I could not get a photo. I'm sure you will all be able to view the incident and hear all the news at the Kingman Daily Miner Website.

I'm just loving living where wildlife runs free!

These are trying times. Help your local letter carriers!

For the last 17 years the National Assoc. of Letter Carriers have held their food drive on the 2nd Saturday in May. This year the drive is May 9th.

Over 35.5 million people face hunger every day in America including 13 million children. You can help!In the past 16 years, postal emplyees and other volunteers have delivered nearly one billion pounds of donations to community food banks. In 2008 they collected 73,113,915 pounds of food.

How do you participate? It's easy. Just leave your non-perishable donations by your mailbox before delivery or at the post office. Local carriers will collect your donation and deliver it to your local food bank.

Help the Postal Service Stamp Out Hunger....don't forget, May 9.

Mohave County makes Fox News this morning.

It seems that environmentalists are opposing President Obama's renewable energy goals. One of the projects mentioned is the solar energy plant scheduled to be built outside of Kingman. Those concerned are opposing water usage, and particularly the effect on the Sonoran Desert Tortoise.

We can have non-polluting energy projects and much needed jobs for people or we can protect the Tortoise.

I hope clear heads go forward to make the right decision.

Not only will a massive windfarm grace our borders, but the news is that Albiasa
Corporation has chosen a 1,400 acre site near Kingman as the future location for a $1 Billion 200 megawatt conentrating solar power plant.

Gov. Jan Brewer has stated "The arrival of Albiasa Corporation is yet another big step toward establishing Arizona as a leader in the sustainable industries sector..."

The project is expected to generate 2000 jobs during construction and more than 100 permanent jobs for the area.

We are getting a distillery. That's right, we are excited. It will be located in the Airport Industrial Park.

John and Deborah Patt, the new owners have purchased a German-manufactured still similar to the one used in Flastaff by High Spirits Distiller, who manufacture prickley-pear cactus vodka.

The company should open within the next 6 months.
