David Lane: A Remarkable Legacy of Visionary Leadership and Unwavering Dedication for Lake Havasu City

david lane

Lake Havasu City, AZ –As David Lane prepares to retire from a remarkable career in public service, Lake Havasu City reflects on his profound impact and enduring legacy. Lane’s distinguished journey began with a noble tenure in the United States Air Force, followed by a commendable 30-year career with the California Highway Patrol (CHP). His dedication and leadership have been exemplary throughout his career. “From the time I was a teenager, I knew I wanted to be a California Highway Patrol Officer,” Lane recalls. His ascent through the CHP, culminating in several high-ranking positions, has equipped him with the skills and insights that shaped his significant contributions to our community.

In 2008, Mr. Lane took on the role of Commander of the CHP Needles Area Office, an appointment that unexpectedly brought him and his wife, Stephanie, to the scenic shores of Lake Havasu City. What began as a temporary assignment quickly turned into a deep and lasting love for the area. “We fell in love with Lake Havasu, so I retired, and we decided to make it our permanent home.” The Lanes have deeply immersed themselves in the community, becoming a driving force behind one of the city’s most active neighborhood watch groups and passionately supporting numerous local initiatives.

Mr. Lane’s leadership has been pivotal in endeavors such as the establishment of new soccer fields at Cypress Park and the cultivation of significant alliances with local institutions, including the Chamber of Commerce, Better Business Bureau, and United Way. These partnerships were crucial during the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, enabling Mr. Lane to raise over $360,000 in aid for the community. “We were able to help countless residents and businesses avoid financial ruin.” His exceptional contributions were further recognized when he was honored with the Citizen of the Year award from the Chamber of Commerce.

As Mr. Lane transitions from a lifetime of dedicated public service to the well-earned rest of retirement, he reflects on his achievements with both pride and optimism. “The city is in good hands,” he confidently assures. Looking ahead, Mr. Lane and his wife, Stephanie, are excited to embark on new adventures and cherish family time. “After years of taking care of others, it’s finally our turn to explore the world together,” he shares with a warm smile.

David Lane’s unwavering commitment to the community and his legacy of leadership and generosity have set a high standard for future council members.

The Remarkable Rise of Mohave Comedy: From Gritty Open Mics to Unforgettable Community Stars

Comedy

The desert landscape of Mohave County, Arizona, might not seem like the most obvious birthplace for a thriving comedic scene, but thanks to the vision and determination of a few passionate individuals, it’s become just that. Anthony Mitchell, the founder of Mohave Comedy, moved to Mohave County as a Clinical Laboratory Scientist in 2020. With no local comedic scene, he started by crashing open mics in Laughlin and Bullhead City. Anthony describes the formation of Mohave Comedy as a “Bat Signal” to find like-minded comedy enthusiasts in the area. This Bat Signal worked wonders, attracting a diverse group of comedians and building a larger, more cohesive comedy community.

Over the years, they’ve performed in towns across the area, from Topock to Chloride, and supported numerous fundraising events for causes like the Oatman and Chloride Chamber of Commerce, Shriner’s Children’s Hospital, and local food drives with their Tin Can Comedy shows.

Lighthouse Lounge: The Heart of Mohave Comedy

The Lighthouse Lounge holds a special place in the heart of Mohave Comedy. It was the site of their first-ever show, and returning there to perform four years later has been an “awesomely surreal experience,” says Anthony. Mohave Comedy now hosts stand-up events on the first Tuesday of every month at 7:30 PM at the Lighthouse Lounge, featuring special guests from LA, Vegas, and Phoenix. These events also include food drives for the Havasu Community Health Foundation.

Making Comedy Accessible for All

In addition to their community involvement and charitable efforts, Mohave Comedy is dedicated to making their shows accessible to everyone. They proudly feature an amazing ASL interpreter, Destiny Younger, at all their shows to ensure that everyone can enjoy the humor and fun.

A Comedic Scene Built on Humor, Community, and Charity

With their blend of humor, community involvement, and charitable efforts, Mohave Comedy has truly made a mark on the local culture. Whether you’re a resident or just passing through, catching a Mohave Comedy show is a must. For more information on their performers, events, and charity efforts, visit their website at www.mohavecomedy.com. Get ready to laugh, connect, and support a fantastic cause with Mohave Comedy!

Local Stevie Welte Qualifies to Represent the USA this year at the BMX World Championships 

At just 12 years old, Lake Havasu’s own Stevie Welte has secured a spot to represent the USA at this year’s BMX World Championships. Her journey is nothing short of inspiring. Despite her young age, Stevie has already etched her name in the annals of BMX history. By doing so, she is showcasing exceptional talent while balancing the demands of school, growing up, and her racing career.

Stevie’s journey into BMX racing

Stevie’s journey into BMX racing began riding a balance bike as young as two and a half years old. Then she graduating to a pedal bike by three and a half. Since then, her passion for the sport has only grown. Despite facing the obstacle of being diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at age 7, Stevie has soared in the BMX world. She’s a four-time Arizona state champion, consistently placing in the top 10 in her district. Now, she’s earned her spot among the best in the world. Stevie’s next ambitious goal is to one day grace the Olympic stage.

Her father, Scott, reflects on Stevie’s journey with pride. He says, “We’re very proud of her for her dedication, whether it’s school or her cycling, when she gets her mind on something and has a goal she goes for it.”

Stevie’s path to success hasn’t been without challenges.. “Being a type 1 diabetic has been my biggest challenge,” she admits. “It’s tough because you have to balance your blood sugar when you’re racing, and it affects my performance.” Yet, Stevie’s determination shines through.  

She trains rigorously, riding over 10 miles three times a week. All the while, she prioritizes her education and maintains her spot on the honor roll at Calvary Christian Academy. Her advice to aspiring riders reflects her fearless attitude: “Try it. Don’t be scared too. Just be confident and tell yourself that you can do it, and don’t tell yourself, oh this is too hard or only the boys do it.” 

Stevie’s Support System

Behind Stevie’s success lies a network of support from her family, friends, and sponsors. From Fly racing, Good Team Bad Name (GTBN), ODI grips, Maxxis Tires, Cycle Therapy, Hero Ride Shop, and Beat the Heat, these sponsors have helped fuel her journey to the top. The community of Lake Havasu has rallied around her, with locals donating to fund her trip to the World Championships. 

As Stevie prepares to compete on the world stage, she carries with her not just the hopes of her town, but the dreams of a young girl who refused to let anything hold her back. From balancing her love of sport, school, and managing her diabetes, Stevie’s story is one of resilience. It’s also about determination and the power of chasing your dreams, no matter how big they may seem.

How did Ready Set Market start?

Kelli recently launched Ready Set Market with Co-Founder Wendy Yohe in August. It aims to relieve businesses from stressing about marketing so they can focus on what they do best. Kelli explained that her favorite part of marketing is “I enjoy being able to provide businesses with a sense of relief on their platforms and marketing and business goals.”

Even though Ready Set MARKET is a newly launched business, Kelli brings 15 years of marketing experience to the table. In the past, she owned a website dedicated to marketing and troubleshooting for businesses. However, it was the support from her local community that motivated her to deepen her commitment to a marketing career.

During her previous work with businesses, Kelli faced challenges that demanded problem-solving skills. Frustrated by the lack of dedicated resources, she decided to take matters into her own hands. Kelli sought a person with the commitment to handle behind-the-scenes details for businesses, and to her surprise, she found that person within herself.

What services does Ready Set Market offer?

Ready Set MARKET provides a range of services to clients, including marketing consulting, web design, search engine optimization (SEO), graphic design, email marketing, social media management, and paid ads management.

Living in a small town like Lake Havasu City, businesses may find it challenging to pinpoint their target demographics. Ready Set MARKET addresses this by employing “localized marketing tactics” tailored to the unique needs of businesses, helping them attract customers.

Kelli emphasized the key role her business plays in supporting other businesses: “We allow business owners to focus on what they do best. They often struggle with tasks like invoicing or managing accounting systems, and we alleviate that stress for them.”

Kelli’s Event Marketing Expertise and Community Engagement

Kelli’s passion for actively participating in events fuels her particular fondness for event marketing. In Lake Havasu City, events play a crucial role in connecting the community, and Kelli plays a significant part in that connection. She has contributed to major town events such as Desert Storm, the Lake Havasu Boat Show, and most recently, the 45th annual Relics and Rods Run to the Sun.

Kelli, when discussing her favorite aspect of working in events, stated, “I love engaging in overall business consultation and collaborating closely with our clients to help them achieve their goals. I take pleasure in communicating with vendors, sponsors, and non-profit organizations to ensure efficient collaboration.”

Beyond her professional achievements, Kelli has called Lake Havasu City home for two decades, sharing the experience with her parents.
