On Monday, April 19, Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey announced that he would no longer be requiring school districts to mandate mask wearing among students, teachers and visitors, leaving the decision about masking to the individual districts to decide for themselves.

Executive Order 2021-10, issued Monday, April 19, rescinded Ducey’s Executive Order 2020-51 from July that had mandated kindergarten to 12th-grade schools in Arizona require students, staff and visitors to wear face masks to slow the spread of COVID-19.

After the COVID-19 pandemic wiped out all but one meet of the 2020 season, Camp Verde’s track and field team was anxious to get going again in 2021. The wait got extended a little bit longer when their first two meets were canceled due to poor weather. But on Thursday, April 1, the Cowboys finally got to get things going.

The long-delayed construction of the Camp Verde Sports Complex has continued for several years, but while the park is not expected to be open until at least next fall, the land it sits on now provides recreation activities beyond the future park.

This week, Camp Verde Parks & Recreation announced the completion of the Verde Vista Loop Trail, a 5.5 mile trail for hiking, biking and horseback riding, which has its trailhead in the Sports Complex and extends into land of the Coconino National Forest. The trail climbs 500 feet above the park, to the top of the White Hills overlooking the Sports Complex.

The entrance to the Spectrum Healthcare vaccination site at Verde Valley Christian Church at 406 South Sixth St. in Cottonwood. Yavapai County opened COVID-19 vaccinations to Phase 1C and all adults age 18 and older late last month. However, vaccinations have dropped and the site is only vaccinating 200 people a day instead of the 1,000 it has the capacity for, so Spectrum is cutting down hours from five days a week and will only be open Wednesdays to Fridays.
