Snider: November is the month to be thankful

David SniderAs both nighttime and daytime temperatures moderate, and the true signs of the arrival of Fall and Winter can be seen as license plates driving our streets change colors, it’s time to reflect on those things for which we’re thankful.  

My partial list contains: my family; their (and my) health; the opportunity to serve the people of Pinal County; my friends and their families; the many civic and community organizations that labor so hard to help those less fortunate; those who serve and protect us at home and abroad; the hard working, dedicated, men and women who labor on our behalf in local, county, state, and federal government; and the honor and privilege of living in the greatest country in the world – the United States of America.

Pinal County names new Emergency Management Director

Lou MirandaAt their regular public meeting last week, the Pinal County Board of Supervisors introduced the county’s new Emergency Management Director, Lou Miranda.  Miranda previously served as Director of Emergency Management for Yuma County but also has a background as a budget and management analyst. 

“Much of what the Emergency Management staff does is funded by state and federal grants.  Lou’s background will be extremely valuable.  The grant funding process becomes more competitive each year,” said Greg Stanley, Pinal County’s Public Works Director.
 
Emergency Management is one of the disciplines under Public Works because since most emergencies require the mobilization of personnel along with heavy equipment, barricades and so forth.  Pinal County’s Emergency Management Section has responded to major floods, power outages, forest fires, tire fires and other large and small-scale crises.
