âCookie ninjasâ caught on camera leaving holiday treats on neighborâs porch By KOVR Staff | December 23, 2020 at 8:11 AM CST - Updated December 23 at 8:11 AM
LINCOLN, Calif. (KOVR) - A brother and sister are secretly spreading holiday cheer in their neighborhood to brighten spirits during the pandemic.
Imriel Ely and Damon Ely call themselves the cookie ninjas.
The ninjas get why they canât see their friends in person.
So, theyâre baking spirits bright - dropping off the desserts, like cookies and fudge, made by momma ninja herself.
âWe figured this way we can still show our friends that we love them and care about them without sharing our germs,â said momma ninja Justine Ely.
Republican leaders in the New Mexico House are seizing on a new report by Los Alamos National Laboratory that says the risk of a COVID-19 outbreak during the 2021 legislative session would be low with a few precautionary measures and a much shorter time frame.
One leading House Democrat countered that the report notes there would be a âhigh risk of COVID 19 spreadâ at the Capitol if the 60-day session were conducted normally, with some 600 people milling around in the building at one time.
The Dec. 4 report, requested by the Legislative Council Service, has fueled arguments by House Minority Leader Jim Townsend and other GOP lawmakers who believe the Legislature should convene briefly in January to accomplish its major goals and then adjourn until spring, when risks posed by pandemic are expected to decline.
