Dear Neighbors
No major problems were reported after the wind, rain and a little snow on Monday. The rest of the week is expected to be cold and mostly sunny with a forecast of the mid 60's next weekend. Perfect for hikes, BBQ's, day trips, and visiting neighbors. The creeks are up and running fast with some snow melt. Yesterday Kimberly's way was still uncrossable over Dry Beaver Creek from Cornville Rd and Lower McGuireville is still isolated due to water rushing over both bridges. So those folks continue to be cut off from work, school, and errands.
Last week was the Walk Out Ceremony for Bonnie Reay who has been with the Montezuma Rimrock Fire District since before it was a district. She started as a volunteer and retired as a long time First Responder. If you missed the ceremony, here are pictures of Bonnie and of her with her family. She continues to be active in the community. In fact she's giving a First Aid/CPR class at the station on Saturday, Feb 13 starting at 9 AM with First Aid and with CPR starting around 1 PM. The cost is $35 which includes the book or $25 if you can bring your own book. Call 928-300-9936 to register.
 
Continuing about MRFD, due to the efforts of Chief Terry Keller with the support of LMPOA sponsored meetings and petitions, 20 more fire hydrants are now being installed along part of Beaver Creek Rd and to complete coverage in areas of Lake Montezuma. The Chief only had to mention the petitions which encouraged AZ Water to step up the process. The funding was provided by a bequest from Eddie Lodge. Arizona Water approved the plan and hired the contractor to do the work on the system. Thank you to those who signed the petitions.

Brenda Nicolson's new store at the old Honey Store opened on Monday. It is now called the Honey Hole and features local arts and crafts. If you have items to sell, space is available to rent for your display. U-Haul rentals and sale of U-Haul supplies will be available at the shop. Since there was no Commercial 2 zoning (required for sale or rental of vehicles) available in the vicinity of her Doggy Styles shop, Yavapai County granted her a Use Permit to operate at the Honey Store. The rental equipment must be displayed behind it.
