Greetings and Happy Holidays Bay City!
To say this year has been difficult would be an understatement. Finding ways to celebrate as a community has been a challenge. However your city leaders, business community, church, and non-profit organizations have been very busy. They have created a holiday event that is designed to surprise, entertain and celebrate the Christmas spirit with our community and still keep our citizens safe. The “Porch Parade” will be coming to Bay City on December 18 at 7:00 pm, and you won’t have to leave your home to see it. Our Fire Chief, Darrell Griffith, will lead the way. So keep your eyes and ears open for the Christmas lights and music coming to your neighborhood. If you would like to be a participant in the porch parade please call (503)931-9721 or email jodydesign@hotmail.com.
Ignoring science has deadly consequences

“A needless death from COVID-19,” my Aug. 2, 2020, column, dealt with the death of David Nagy, a resident of Texas, who died on July 22 from COVID-19. In a scathing obituary, Nagy’s family blamed his death on “Trump, (Texas Gov. Greg) Abbott and all the other politicians who did not take this pandemic seriously and were more concerned with their popularity and votes than lives.” The author of Nagy’s obituary also blamed “the many ignorant, self-centered and selfish people who refused to follow the advice of the medical professionals, believing their ‘right’ not to wear a mask was more important than killing killing innocent people.”

We are at a critical stage in our community’s fight against COVID-19.
Unfortunately, there has been an exponential increase in cases since the end of October. Archuleta County had a total of 69 cumulative cases as of Oct. 31. That number grew to 371 cases as of press time.
That is a whopping 438 percent increase.
And, sadly, there is no indication of this rate of increase slowing down.
The impact of the pandemic is taking its toll. Most of us are increasingly overwhelmed. We are stressed. We are tired. We are weary.
Many of us have lost friends and family to COVID-19.
