Keep Calm and Lead On
A few weeks ago, my dog, Maggie, and I returned from an early morning walk when Maggie spied a rather large grey cat lounging in front of our house. Maggie did not take kindly to the cat’s presence. She tugged at her leash, trying to get the cat. The cat was unimpressed and backed off a little, but didn’t run. I let Maggie get closer to the cat (but not TOO close). The cat puffed up and hissed at Maggie. Much to her embarrassment, Maggie yelped and scurried backwards in tactical retreat. I took … [Read more...] about Keep Calm and Lead On

Building Communities from the Inside
When you serve any community as a public servant, I believe it’s important to do so honestly and with the best intentions of the citizens in mind. This helps build trust with the public and instills in citizens that their local government and elected officials are working to provide the best possible services. Trust is crucial and it’s something I’ve strived to build throughout my 28 years in public service. Before the County Board of Supervisors appointed me as Coconino County manager … [Read more...] about Building Communities from the Inside

Because the aorta is the body's main supplier of blood, a ruptured aortic aneurysm can cause life-threatening bleeding. Most small and slow-growing aortic aneurysms do not rupture, but large, fast-growing aortic aneurysms may. Depending on the size and rate at … [Read more...] about The Silent Killer
