Resistance. Quiet, persistent resistance.
Every once in a while, that resistance comes to everyone and everything.
As we note Earth Day this week, we are reminded of that resistance. In our stay-safe-at-home times, we are now seeing a world where the air is cleaner, the sound of nature is clearer and the Earth is actually healing itself a little at a time. There is a chilling, yet quiet beauty seeing the streets of Paris, London, Rome and New York virtually empty and nature going on quite well without us.
It’s as if Earth finally said, “ENOUGH.”
FLAGSTAFF — Before the COVID-19 outbreak, Coconino Community College student Delmy Payne was used to being busy. She had to make every moment count to juggle her work, her children, and her classes at CCC. That has changed now. Work is…

MSNBC recently reportedthat calls to the National Domestic Violence have increased since the beginning of the pandemic.

The United Way of Northern Arizona (UWNA) recently awarded a total of $45,000 to Flagstaff Shelter Services and The Salvation Army, front line local responders dealing with the issue of providing shelter or keeping people in their homes.

Probably the biggest economic news right now is the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), the pool of almost $350 billion in forgivable small business loans that is one of the main components of the federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act.
Today’s bulletin will be a little different as we do a deeper dive on this one topic – what the PPP is supposed to do, the hurdles and hiccups it has faced in its first week, and how the government and financial institutions are responding.

To help curb the spread of COVID-19 through social distancing the Coconino County Education Service Agency (CCESA) has decided to postpone the 2020 Teacher of the Year and Rookie Teacher of the Year celebration until Early August.
The CDC is now recommending that everyone wear cloth masks in situations where social distancing is difficult (i.e. in grocery stores, pharmacies, etc.)
Wearing masks will help reduce spread from non-symptomatic people who are infected and not aware.
Here is the advice of the CDC.
Effective Saturday, April 4 at 5 p.m., all playgrounds, basketball courts, ramadas (including picnic tables and barbecue grills), and restroom facilities managed by Coconino County Parks and Recreation will close until further notice.
