Jaime Buchholz
was Miss City of
Maricopa in 2015.
Back in 2015, Jaime Buchholz, then 24, was finishing her star-studded run as Miss City of Maricopa. Aging out of the program and fulfilling her dream of being a princess, she continued to remain a part of the local Miss City of Maricopa/Miss America organization until it dissolved in November 2020 after the national organization headed in a different direction.
“It’s not just the crown, it’s finding out who you are. I was given lots of opportunities, like learning to (public) speak and being a good role model,” she said. “Some of my girls that are current title holders I’ve known since they were 5. It’s been fun to grow up with them.”

Global Water Resources continued to be a strong supporter of Maricopa community initiatives during 2020, including contributions of more than $140,000 to area programs.
“Due to the widespread impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, it was an especially challenging year for our local Arizona communities,” noted company president and CEO Ron Fleming. “So, we’ve been working to do our part to support local businesses and families in need during these trying times.”
As businesses began to lock down due to the pandemic, resulting in layoffs and unemployment, Global Water implemented a revamped customer assistance program that offers financial assistance for customers who are having difficulty paying their water bill.

Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey issued an advisory Tuesday to accelerate COVID-19 vaccine distribution across the state and move doses to where they can be rapidly administered to residents.
“The COVID-19 vaccination is our best shot at returning to life as it should be. Over the last two weeks, the COVID-19 vaccination site at State Farm Stadium has become a national model for vaccine administration,” Ducey said in a news release. “With adequate vaccine doses, we can build on this success, both at our existing vaccination sites, and at additional sites across the state. This advisory will provide transparency in the pace of vaccination administration and allow us to direct vaccine doses to where they will be most rapidly distributed.”

PHOENIX â On Dec. 15, Scott Alan King Sr., 61, of Benson, was found guilty in two separate criminal cases of Contracting Without a License, a Class 1 Misdemeanor, in the Benson Justice Court.
The Arizona Registrar of Contractorâs investigations found King contracted for one price but the job eventually became more expensive, costing the homeowner more money for more materials and eventually to have Kingâs work repaired. This is a common theme in unlicensed contracting investigations and often one of the first red flags.
