9/14/25 UPDATE

IMPORTANT: Please report inaccurate or incomplete information by email. 

Undisputed information will be deemed accurate for legal purposes.

For over 3 years, I’ve posted this page on Facebook so many times, and I tagged Jonathan Kiser on Facebook, requesting his comments.

Why does it require a summons to get answers?

  • I recently discovered that Jonathan Kiser, and most likely all Meadview real estate agents, have been advertising properties as NOT subject to CC&Rs when they in fact are subject to CC&Rs.
  • Subsequently, the MCA refused to disclose whether a property is subject to CC&Rs. The MCA wrote that I needed to search the County website, but refused to tell me where and how to search — I found nothing.
  • MCA Director Sharon Baur has been terrorizing Meadview residents residing in campers, falsely claiming that Mohave County does not allow permanent residence in campers.  Sharon Baur and the MCA failed to comply with my demand for apologies and retractions everywhere she posted her vile lies.https://highdesertdirt.com/mca/docs/2025-8-21-the-mca-must-retract-director-sharon-baurs-false-claims-on-facebook/
  • John Strickland (Outpost & Meadview contract post office) is currently threatening me and other residents to refuse our mail so we have to go to Kingman to get mail and packages, and he refused to provide a reason.  My box # is 858:

John Strickland is new to Meadview and adds a new layer of oppression and abuse with his threats to refuse postal service.

I am finally going to have to sue to at least get answers and document the Meadview corruption and atrocities so that current and prospective residents can rely on facts established in court instead of the mostly false, misleading, and deceptive information about Meadview on Facebook.

Early on Saturday morning, 9/13/25, a monsoon storm destroyed the Meadview water system.

For 5-7 days, depending on the neighborhood, residents had no water.  Additionally, we lost the Guardian public well, and many roads were damaged.

The MCA (as always) locked its doors, and emergency services were limited to providing water in the parking lot. 

On Tuesday, my pleas to provide information about areas still without water were ignored.  I had 500 g in my water hauler and no place to take it.  As much of Meadview is in water haul, we have hundreds of water haulers available to bring water to each home — like an ice cream truck!

Our Meadview leaders refused to cooperate.

I asked for the LIST of vulnerable residents to be checked on.

There is no LIST.  They don’t want a list.  They want everybody to grovel and submit to the cliques or shut up, move away, or die.

Our District 4 Supervisor, Don Martin, resides in Meadview and must know that so many old, sick, and poor people need assistance.

I asked on FB about the status of our public wells and for the LIST of residents to check on:Don Martin:

In my world friends take care of their friends and neighbors.

Of course, that is the issue.

I want to help STRANGERS.

The old, sick, and poor who couldn’t make umpteen trips or maybe even just one trip to “downtown” Meadview and carry countless gallons of water, and don’t have helpful “friends and neighbors.”

The people who didn’t even know there was water in the business district, or when it ran out, or to boil the water when service was restored.  Nobody had an ETA for when the water system would be fixed or which areas were affected.

  • We have so many alcoholics, tweakers, and thieves.
  • Many homes are vacant or used as Airbnbs, as we have a large number of snowbirds and ruthless, greedy real estate investors with no shred of decency.

Many of our abandoned residents are embarrassed to ask for help because they don’t have the extra cash to pay helpers. Elliot, Leo, Jimmy … so many insist that they are “fine” or “ok”, because they are either so sick that they don’t realize they need help, or they are too embarrassed to accept assistance.  They are afraid to be disparaged by the people of Meadview for being old, sick, and/or poor.

His neighbors allegedly offered to repair Jimmy’s leaky roof for free, and he refused. He made a handyman who did a little work for him promise not to tell anyone that the ceilings in his home had collapsed. Likely mold and “food” from the Dollar Store caused dementia.

Jimmy was found dead in his home after a church called the sheriff for a wellness check when he didn’t show up for a while. And that’s all these holier than shit religious people here care about, removing the decomposing bodies. That’s not ok with “my” Jesus!

The disadvantaged residents are viciously attacked on Facebook if they dare to speak out.  They’re told to move, to go to a nursing home, or to “work harder” by the Meadview elites.  I just started to refer to our elites as a “gang” because the goal is to intimidate and silence residents, and they are dominating social media and the town.  Defaming, slandering, and threatening.

I’ve watched so many aging residents slowly die from neglect and isolation.

The spouse dies, the survivor is depressed, maybe ill, and dementia caused by Family Dollar crap food, mold from leaky roofs, social media chaos and confusion (many are not on the internet and are so isolated), lack of social life,  etc.

Many of the Meadview forgotten or ignored are NOT fun.

Joanne on Boulder was abandoned by the VFW when she became increasingly deranged. She was heavily armed (as way too many in Meadview), and in 2016, they left her to die, likely eaten by her countless cats in her house of filth.  Abandoned by her children (her daughter lived in Las Vegas), who did nothing for her.  When the Schwans’ delivery guy called the sheriff after she didn’t open the door again, they found her decomposed remains.  I will never be able to unsmell that stench, weeks after cleanup, with the carpet removed and the big stain on the subfloor.

The Meadview leaders failed to create a community webpage with emergency information.

They posted occasional random updates on Facebook, and I must have read hundreds of posts and comments trying to figure out what was going on with the Meadview water supply for an entire week.  CHAOS. Nobody knows or cares whether someone died or got food poisoning because they were unable to clean their dishes properly.

No court can order our ruthless “gang members” to become caring human beings. A Fox News host just called for the MURDER of mentally ill homeless people who refuse his proposed treatment. It’s an evil world with so much hatred and greed.

As I am making my end-of-life decisions after 25 years in Meadview, I’ll try to kick ass one more time!

1/15/22 update: I have not received a response from Jonathan Kiser, the MCA, or anyone else.   Sadly, everything I wrote here is factual, and there’s nobody in this hellhole called Meadview who cares about more than themselves and their cliques.

1/27/22:  updated to include the 9/8/12 video of Deputy Albright informing the board that members in good standing have the right to video record.

The MCA continues to send me demands for payment of back dues, despite the fact that I was a member in good standing when they shut off my access card in 2013 because I had video-recorded and written about the MCA board meetings, as explicitly allowed by Arizona law.

I deeply regret not suing the MCA back then.

Imagine what Meadview would be like if we had a COMMUNITY organization with:

  • a grief support group
  • an Alzheimer’s support group
  • a cancer support group
  • a daily wellness checkup group
  • a phone & computer support group
  • a gardening club
  • a community garden
  • an organic food co-op
  • social events, activities, music, dancing, parties, outings …

As a full-time Meadview resident since 2000, I’ve cried so much for the old and sick residents who were and still are wasting away in front of their TVs, eating only the awful Family Dollar “food”, with absolutely nothing to do in this miserable town.  

Leo was desperate for a place to meet people, make friends, hang out, play music, … but his kind wasn’t welcome anywhere. KRMC left him to die in his hot camper in July 2015 during a heatwave, without electricity and running water, after suffering from diarrhea for weeks.  KRMC should be prosecuted like any murderer.  If there is a hell, it’s for the officers of the MCA and COM who not only refuse to assist these old and sick people but actively oppose any assistance by residents like me.

https://highdesertdirt.com/blog/2015/08/18/leo-goding-12-2-42-to-7-30-2015/

In 2019, I watched a friend commit suicide because he and his wife could not get any home health care, and she was too old and weak to pick him up after he fell.  KRMC, North Country, and the rehab utterly failed them — as did Meadview.

First, he went outside and tried to blow his brain out, but he was too weak to pull the trigger.   After resting for a few hours, he overdosed on his pain pills.  A much better choice, peaceful, and much less traumatic for the survivors.

I estimate that at least 20% of the Meadview deaths recorded as “natural causes” are actually suicide by opiates.  No autopsies, nobody cares.

Why does the Meadview News FALSELY portray Meadview as this beautiful paradise?

Jonathan Kiser is often referred to as Meadview’s top real estate agent and has been the assistant editor of the Meadview News for many years.

I can only conclude that Jonathan deliberately misrepresents Meadview to entice visitors to purchase property here by ignoring Meadview’s dark side, as evidenced by the lack of REAL information in the Meadview News.

Jonathan Kiser, why don’t you write about how people die here, the crime, Sheriff Schuster’s outright refusal to recover stolen property, the ugly side of Meadview?

Jonathan, where can I read about Joanne decomposing for weeks until the Schwans delivery guy called the sheriff?

Jonathan, where can I read about Otto pulling the trigger in front of his house?

You had the opportunity to inform residents that Alzheimer’s can often be reversed through an organic diet, eliminating inflammatory foods, eliminating dementia-causing toxins and especially mold, taking supplements, brain and physical exercises, meditation, …

Jonathan, why don’t you advocate for support groups and assistance?

You know as well as anyone that there is NO place to meet in Meadview aside from the MCA.

Since approximately 2004, the MCA has denied non-members access to support groups, which is why there are none.

Jonathan, why do you ONLY care about sales commissions?

Jonathan, why do you have no compassion, no empathy?

So many seniors are so lonely and end up dying alone, often after they fell and couldn’t get up anymore. Sometimes not found until after their pets ate them.

The dogs are killed after they ate human remains.

Jonathan, I know that YOU know, because you list or try to list these homes.  Didn’t you smell the stench in Joanne’s trailer on Boulder?  Why don’t you care?

Since few in Meadview care for humans and lack compassion and empathy (due to brain damage), perhaps some will care about those dogs?

Don’t you all love dogs?

The MCA and Meadview were not like they are today until the board decided to make the MCA “exclusive” in the mid-2000s, when they made many awful decisions.

My former neighbors, Rick Sherwood and Grant Veile, were instrumental.  Grant proudly announced during his 2013 ILLEGAL campaign speech that they decided to remodel the kitchen as RESIDENTIAL instead of commercial.  Consequently, we have not had any more fundraisers that I’m aware of.

Many fundraisers used to be held at the MCA until it became too expensive to get the County permit and pay to have the health department inspect the kitchen prior to events because it’s not a commercial kitchen.

The MCA’s 2013 illegal activities RESULTED in thousands of dollars for legal fees — paid for by members.

Running the MCA like the mob, the board decided to charge $25 late fees per MONTH!  

I called them out on their violation of state law and provided the board with the relevant statute, but they claimed that the MCA is exempt from state law.  However, the MCA is NOT above the law.  It’s not Skull & Bones.  Eventually, they had to issue numerous refunds, and the late fee was lowered to $15 per year, the maximum allowed by law.

Aside from the illegality of those usurious late fees, it really shows the mindset of the officers.  Even if it was legal, how could you possibly charge $25 every month for being late on a $35 annual dues payment?

Last year, Casitas Palo Christi LLC acquired two lots, unfortunately in the MCA.  As the LLC manager, I recently contacted the MCA to inquire about attending MCA meetings, video recording, and voting, prior to paying the 2022 MCA dues for those lots.   Why should the LLC pay dues if it can’t vote?

The current board won’t let me attend meetings and vote for the LLC until I pay the delinquent dues for my home.

Year after year, the MCA is run by people with a blatant disregard for the law and facts.

The current board members, according to the certified letter I received today:

​Sharon Baur – President
Jack McGinnis – Vice President
Norreta Caldwell – Treasurer
Larry Reilley – Director
Clyde Haggerty – Director
Pam Steffen – Secretary

  • This board insists that I pay my delinquent dues despite their shutting off my access card in 2013 when I was a member in good standing and my dues were paid.
  • This board continues to prohibit video recording of meetings, in violation of state law.

And they keep threatening me with filing a criminal complaint if I return to the MCA.  On at least two occasions, they called the Mohave County Sheriff’s Department or 911 with FALSE allegations of me being “disruptive and disorderly”.  The MCA board members were humiliated by the deputy:

9/8/12: MCA president AJ called the sheriff because I was video recording the monthly meeting, and Deputy Albright advised the board that I had the LEGAL RIGHT to record.

The MCA board immediately ended the meeting:

By the next meeting, three board members had resigned, and eventually, the entire board resigned.   Then the old guard stepped up, and Gladys Burk ran the association until the next election.

The MCA did not allow me to run for office.

I complied with the MCA requirements to run for office, but the “election committee” refused to put me on the ballot because I wanted to turn the MCA back into the community organization it was prior to the mid-2000s.

Not only did they engage in voter suppression by providing little to no information to absentee property owners, but they also screened candidates. Nobody got on the ballot unless they approved of them.

When the MCA tried to raise the annual dues from $35 to $40, I personally contacted absentee owners and landowner associations to get the word out about the dues increase.

The dues increase FAILED.

However, the dues increase DID pass after I had been banned from the MCA meetings and, therefore, was unaware of the proposed dues increase.   As my track record shows, the dues increase would likely have failed again if I had been able to campaign against it.

Obviously, dues refunds will have to be issued, and the increase will have to be voted on again after I can attend the meetings again.

The above are just a few of the many illegal and unethical actions of the MCA board.

It’s a CONSPIRACY — the Meadview News refused our advertisements in support of the MCA

https://highdesertdirt.com/blog/2013/06/02/my-open-letter-to-the-com-board-requesting-vote-regarding-the-refusal-of-my-advertisements/

I’m so glad that I documented their vile actions.

This website needs a lot of work, but I’m properly motivated now to learn the new web design software and expose the Meadview corruption.  The site may not be functional as I work on it. Please be patient or donate a few dollars to hire someone.

The transcript of the certified letter from the MCA I received today:
December 29, 2021

Dear Christine Baker,

The Meadview Civic Association, Inc. Board of Governors has denied your access to the facility, for what has been deemed as having unpaid assessments.  Meadview property owners who have unpaid assessments on any lot may not use the facility or attend meetings or vote until assessments on all lot(s) are current and in good standing.  Video recording is strictly forbidden to protect member’s [sic] privacy.  You must submit in writing and mail to the address above, a request to meet with the board for possible reinstatement before the end of the 30-day time period.  Access to the facilities is not a right, it is a revocable privilege and may be temporarily or permanently suspended by the Board of Governors, as provided in the By-Laws.  Returning to the Meadview Civic Association, Inc. without written approval will constitute in criminal trespass and a complaint will be filed with the Mohave County Sheriff’s office. If needed, further action will be pursued. Also, the Meadview Civic Association, Inc. is equipped with 24-hour video surveillance.

Respectfully,

MCA Board of Governors

​Sharon Baur – President
Jack McGinnis – Vice President
Norreta Caldwell – Treasurer
Larry Reilley – Director
Clyde Haggerty – Director
Pam Steffen – Secretary

Could someone please teach them how to add new paragraphs?
