It was just 195 years ago today, July 4, 1826, when two founding fathers and past Presidents, political rivals, but most importantly, two friends, died on the same day.

Throughout their life, these two had been friends and bitter enemies, especially when Adams won the Presidency over Jefferson.

This past Monday, Yavapai County Community Health Services (YCCHS) reported 159 new positive Covid-19 cases from the weekend. For the past few weeks, we have seen our positive case numbers continue to increase from a low of around 20 to over 100 new cases a day. We believe this sudden increase is caused by the more contagious Delta variant of the Covid virus, as well as the fact that the majority of Yavapai County residents have not received their vaccination. Effective Thursday, August 5, 2021, all Yavapai County buildings, will be closed to the public until further notice. This does not apply to the Yavapai...
