Cochise County Sheriff’s Office On July 23, leading sheriffs from the border region were in Washington DC to meet with political and policy leaders to discuss conditions on the U.S. – Mexico bor- der. Present were Sheriff Mark Dannels of Cochise County Arizona President of the Arizona Sheriffs’ Association, Sheriff Leon Wilmot of Yuma County Arizona incoming President of the SW Border Sheriffs Association, Sheriff Mark Napier of Pima County Arizona member of Major County Sheriffs of America and Sheriff Jim Pond (ret) of the Western States Sheriffs Association. The sheriffs bring a frontline and com- munity-based perspective to border issues, which is in- valuable in advancing policy and practice in the address of the many challenges on our border. e Sheriff ’s met with DHS Secretary Kirstjen M.Nielsen and her staff for a very productive discussion of what sheriff ’s need on the border. This is part of an ongoing dialogue started last month in Douglas, Arizona. e Sheriff ’s also met with executive leadership from the Border Patrol, ICE, FEMA, Customs and Border Protec- tion, DOJ, White House Office of Intergovernmental Affairs and Domestic Policy Council.

Tombstone City Library Summer Reading Program Comes to an End Field Trip to the Phoenix Musical Instrument Museum By Samantha Nicholas The Tombstone News Another scam has recently surfaced in Tombstone. Ac- cording to Tombstone Mar- shal Randall, this particular scam involves a scammer calling and pretending to be APS. “Someone is calling lo- cals from another state and telling them that they owe money on their APS bill. e caller threatens the per- son that they will be arrested if they do not pay. Nobody is going to call you and say you owe money and you will be arrested,” said Marshal Randall. Randall continued, “we had one local person that was told by the scammer to go to Family Dollar in Tombstone and purchase a $500 prepaid Visa card. e local person did so but fortunately was not able to get back in touch with the scammer.” “It’s heartbreaking to hear how very convincing scam- mers threaten customers,” said Stacy Derstine, APS Vice President, Customer Service and Chief Cus- tomer Officer. “ey often target those who are most vulnerable, including senior citizens, low-income com- munities and small business owners during busy custom- er service hours, when they need their electric service the most.” APS is a member of the Utilities United Against Scams collaborative of more than 100 electric, natural gas and water utility companies across the U.S. and Canada. Members work with regula- tors, law enforcement and telecommunications partners to help stop scams targeting consumers. According to APS, the following is a list of signs of potential scam activity: 1. Threat to disconnect: Scammers often contact cus- tomers claiming their utility bill is past due and service will be disconnected unless a payment is made right away – usually within an hour or less. 2. Request for immediate payment: Scammers may in- struct customers to call them back after they purchase a prepaid card such as Green Dot, MoneyPak and Vanilla – widely available at retail stores – in order to make a payment by phone to prevent disconnection. 3.Request for prepaid card: When the customer calls back, the scammer asks the customer for the prepaid card’s number, which grants instant access to the card’s funds, and the victim’s mon- ey is gone. How Customers Can Protect Themselves: 1. Never purchase a pre- paid card to avoid service disconnection. APS never requires payment via a pre- paid card or specifies the method of payment custom- ers should use. 2. If someone threatens immediate disconnection of service, hang up the phone, delete the email or shut the door. Customers with de- linquent accounts receive advance disconnect notifica- tion, never a single notifica- tion one hour or less before disconnection. 3. If there is ever a ques- tion about the validity of an email, website or per- son claiming to be an APS representative, call the APS Customer Care Center im- mediately at (602) 371-7171 to verify this information. Do not use a phone number the scammer provides. e only valid phone numbers for the APS Cus- tomer Care Center are listed on customer bills and aps. com. Never share personal information or credit card information with an unveri- fied source. APS encourages any cus- tomers targeted by scammers to report the incident to lo- cal law enforcement, as well as APS at (602) 371-7171 or (800) 240-2014 (outside metro-Phoenix) and the Arizona Attorney General’s Office at (602) 542-5763.

Th e group visited the Mu-

Another scam has recently surfaced in Tombstone. Ac-cording to Tombstone Mar-shal Randall, this particular scam involves a scammer calling and pretending to be APS.

April Sales Down Across Major Industries

Arizona Game and Fish Dept.

Scientists involved in Mex-ican wolf recovery say envi-ronmental groups distribut-ing old and faulty data that calls for the release of captive adult wolves are not helping the recovery of the endan-gered subspecies. Biologists at the Arizona Game and Fish Department (AZGFD) say maintaining a savvy wild-born population and limiting introductions of naïve cap-tive-raised adult animals have been the keys to the ongoing success of the recovery pro-gram.

“Th is period of strong population growth has hap-pened with almost the entire population being wild- born wolves,” said Jim Heff elfi n-ger, a University of Arizona research scientist, AZGFD wildlife science coordinator and co-author of multiple peer-reviewed scientifi c stud-ies on wolf recovery. “We’ve also learned that releasing captive singles and pairs that have spent their lives in a zoo setting has been ineff ective in enhancing genetic diversity. Th e sobering truth is that in the last decade, no captive-raised adult wolf released in the wild has subsequently raised pups in the wild to contribute to the gene pool.”

Th e Center for Biologi-cal Diversity (CBD) and other environmental fund-raising organizations have been pushing a narrative that captive-raised adult wolves should be released into the wild. A July 12 news release from the groups called for the release of three packs of zoo-raised wolves. Th e piece also misstated the number of wolves already released and omitted an entire year of suc-cessful cross-fostering data from their analysis.

Contrary to the incorrect information issued by these organizations, AZGFD and its conservation partners have released 20 wolves from captivity since 2014 through “cross-fostering,” or selective-ly placing genetically valuable pups from captivity into wild packs to be raised by wild par-ents and with wild siblings. Th e latest wolf survey (2017) documented an all-time re-

cord number of 114 Mexican wolves in 22 packs, with 26 potential breeding pairs and 88 adult wolves in the wild population.

Of a potential eight cross-fostered wolves that are now of breeding age, three have bred and two have already produced off spring (four pups), meaning about 37.5 percent of cross-fostered pups are contributing valu-able genetics to the wild population. Of the 12 pups cross-fostered between 2014 and 2017, five were found to have survived to the end of the year, a much high-er survival rate than the groups assert. In contrast, only one of the last nine adult captive wolves released into the wild produced pups that survived more than one year, and only because the pups were cross-fostered into a wild pack.

Despite the CBD’s asser-tion that releasing packs of naïve captive-raised wolves is “badly needed to improve numbers and enhance genetic diversity,” an honest look at the data clearly shows that the recovering Mexican wolf pop-ulation can grow in numbers without additional releases of adult wolves. Only fi ve adult captive-raised wolves have been released since 2007, yet the wild Mexican wolf popu-lation has increased from 42 in 2009 to 114 in 2017 (171 percent).

According to Jim deVos, as-sistant director for AZGFD’s Wildlife Management Divi-sion, cross-fostering bolsters genetic diversity in the wild population while protecting genetically valuable adults in captivity.

“It’s important to review Mexican wolf recovery based on data and not misleading and disingenuous statements that hide the real success of this recovery program,” said deVos. “Th e population is growing very well without re-leasing more zoo animals into the woods to fend for them-selves. It is counter- produc-tive to use purposely mislead-ing and erroneous statements to oppose these successes and the hard working people bringing the Mexican wolf back to the Southwestern landscape.”

Misinformation Only Stalls Successful Mexican Wolf Recovery

City of Sierra Vista

Th e Nancy J. Brua Ani-mal Care Center is suspend-ing public access to view and walk its dogs for about two weeks to ensure several cases of “kennel cough” are con-tained.

Kennel cough is the com-mon name of a highly con-tagious respiratory disease

aff ecting dogs. With proper care and treatment, symp-toms typically remain mild and infected dogs are no lon-ger contagious after about 10 days.

Dogs showing symptoms will be quarantined and treated. Staff will observe all other dogs for signs of infec-tion and will disinfect their kennels daily. Pending adop-

tions will be completed but all new dog adoptions will be put on hold.

“Kennel cough is typically no more serious than the common cold but it’s im-portant that we limit ex-posure to keep our dogs healthy and prepare them for potential adoptions as soon as we can,” Animal Control Supervisor Arleen

Garcia says. “Cats and oth-er small pets are still avail-able for viewing and adop-tion while the sick dogs get well.”

Staff hopes to clear all cases of kennel cough in time for the shelter’s “Wel-come to Pawgwarts” open house scheduled for Satur-day, Aug. 4, from noon to 5 p.m. Th e event will feature a Harry Potter theme, adop-tions specials, and a variety of free activities.

SV Shelter Suspends Acces to Dogs to Contain “Kennel Cough”

PLAY from Pg. 1Aside from the DNA, Wy-

att has some personal connec-tions with the past. During one conversation, he divulged that his mother took him to visit Allie Earp, Virgil’s wife. Before you decide this is im-possible, you must remember that Mrs. Virgil Earp had a long life, dying on November 11, 1947 at the age of 96. Wy-att was born August 02, 1945. Too young to remember, his mother enjoyed recounting the meeting. As she held up her baby for his great, great aunt’s inspection, Allie said, “My God, he looks just like Wyatt.” When his mother asked for clarifi cation, Allie

added, “Th ey’re both bald.” Terry now adds, “And he’s going that way again.”

Wyatt had another interest-ing happenstance some years ago after a reenactment with the famous Arizona Gun-fi ghters in Globe, Arizona. A woman Wyatt judged to be in the eighty to ninety-year range approached him and said she had met the Wyatt Earp. Delighted, but skepti-cal of her claim, he listened as she explained that Wyatt had come into the ice cream par-lor where she was working as a young girl. She had watched the old prospector struggle to get onto the stool at the coun-ter. When she asked what she

could get him, he replied, “I would like a hot fudge sun-dae.” “Would there be nuts with that?” she asked. Ap-parently not hearing her cor-rectly, the man replied, “No, just arthritis,” thinking she was inquiring about his diffi -culty getting situated. Th e ice cream shop was in Drennon, CA, renamed Earp in 1929, near where Wyatt and Josie had a house and worked his claim, the Happy Days mine during several months of the years between 1925 and 1928. “It all fi t,” said Wyatt. “Hot fudge sundaes were known to be his favorite.”

In Terry’s play, Doc sits in a Denver jail awaiting possi-

ble extradition to Tombstone as he recounts his life events. Wyatt’s poignant, but hon-est portrayal of his forebear’s loyal friend will surprise and delight you.

Don’t miss a chance to see the original one-man perfor-mance and meet this link to history. Saturday, August 11 at 7 pm (doors open at 6:30 pm). Schieff elin Hall 402 E Fremont Street (at 4th) Adults $15, 12 & under FREE. For more info contact:Bruce Niel-son w/Tombstone Lions Club at [email protected] or 520-226-5024.

Bugs Bunny is an ani-mated cartoon character, created in the late 1930s by Leon Schlesinger Produc-tions (later Warner Bros. Cartoons) and voiced origi-nally by Mel Blanc. Bugs is best known for his starring roles in the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series of animated short films, produced by Warner Bros. Th ough a similar character debuted in the WB cartoon Porky’s Hare Hunt (1938)

and appeared in a few sub-sequent shorts, the defi nitive character of Bugs is widely credited to have made his debut in director Tex Avery’s Oscar-nominated film A Wild Hare (1940).

Bugs is an anthropomor-phic gray and white hare or rabbit who is famous for his fl ippant, insouciant person-ality. He is also character-ized by a Brooklyn accent, his portrayal as a trickster, and his catch phrase “Eh... What’s up, doc?” Due to Bugs’ popularity during the golden age of American animation, he became an American cultural icon and the offi cial mascot of War-ner Bros. Entertainment. He can thus be seen in the older Warner Bros. company in-tros.

Since his debut, Bugs has appeared in various short fi lms, feature films, com-pilations, TV series, music records, comic books, video games, award shows, amuse-ment park rides, and com-

mercials. He has also ap-peared in more films than any other cartoon character, is the ninth most-portrayed fi lm personality in the world, and has his own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

By Ben T. TraywickWorld Renowned Author

From his book; Ghost Towns & Lost Treasures

Continued from last week

Th e Jesuits were not away for long. In 1731, Father Fe-lipe Segesser took over Del Bac and Father Juan Bap-tista Grasshoff er appeared at Guevavi. Other Jesuits fol-lowed these two men.

Th e Pimas could not be controlled and again revolt-ed, attacking the missions in 1751. The missions at Caborca and Sonoyta were destroyed and Del Bac, Tu-macocori, and Guevavi were again damaged. The latter were abandoned at this time, as the attack had resulted in the death of Father Fran-cisco Xavier, Saeta, Tomas Rollo, and Enrique Ruen.

However, the Indians soon began to long for the peace and prosperity that always seemed to accom-pany the padres. In 1754, they requested the fathers to return to the missions promising that they would remain peaceful.

Th e Pimas remained true to their word and caused the padres no trouble. Del Bac reopened the La Es-

meralda and grew rich and prosperous. The altar silver was returned to its proper place in the church.

As the years slowly passed, Del Bac became the richest of the Kino missions.

In 1767, King Charles, quite unexpectedly, expelled all the Jesuits from Spain and all its possessions. When this word reached the mission at Del Bac, the Jesuits calmly buried all their treasure, closed and concealed their silver mine, and started their journey to the coast.

Without the Jesuits, the long chain of missions they had built were abandoned and fell into ruin.

In time, the Franciscans replaced the Jesuits in the Southwest. Father Carrillo arrived at Del Bac in 1783, and began the construction of a new mission. Again the Indians and the mission prospered.

In 1822, the Colonial Government collapsed and this time the Franciscans left the missions. The trea-sure of silver was left in the church because the Bishop in Sonora, Mexico, sent a priest from Magdalena to take charge of Del Bac.

Dear Editor:A 30th Letter to America

Th e Mayfl ower pilgrims in Heaven, would be aston-ished, at American’s present-day attitude towards God, the Word of God, and his precious Son Jesus.

Th eir strong beliefs in God and Christianity were expressed in the Mayfl ower Compact. In that Compact, they said they did it, “for the glory of God and advance-ment of the Christian Faith,” and signed “in the presence of God.”

Over half of those pilgrims who landed on the western side of Cape Cod Bay in mid-December, 1620, died that winter, because of poor nutri-tion and harsh living condi-tions. Because of their faith in God and Jesus they went to Heaven.

But Hell is where most present-day Americans are headed, because of their gross disobedience of God, and their unbelief.

Almost daily, we see elect-ed offi cials and other well-known individuals, show

their defi ance towards’ God, when they proudly defend the indefensible. Th ey seem to have no idea that there is a righteous God who created them, and that He set rules and Laws by which they are to live by.

Mankind will be judged by those laws and by the Word of God.

America erred greatly when it started its separa-tion from God. His com-mandment to teach the children diligently all about him, including to keep his commandments, statutes, and judgments, was forgotten by the Supreme Court and the other branches of govern-ment.

We took God out of America, so we should not be surprised when there seems to be more hate than love in America.

Foolish America has said, there is no God, has become morally corrupt, doing abom-inable things, and most do bad things instead of good.

In Jesus name stop the baby killing.

Firehouse. Someone wins a free game for next month.

Bunco is fast moving but so simple. Th e mind gets ex-ercise, while changing tables and stealing “elephants”, gives the body a workout and you know what they say about laughing. Homemade treats are provided to keep the players’ strength up.

Tombstone Marshals Offi ce Report from 07/18/18-07/25/18

By Bob Garver

I’m not terribly familiar with the ABBA songbook. I know about “Dancing Queen” and of course the ti-tle song, but otherwise I just think of ABBA as that one band from Sweden that isn’t Europe (they of “Th e Final Countdown”). But apparently we didn’t get enough ABBA in 2008’s “Mamma Mia!” so we’re getting this sequel to meet… demand?

We catch up with Sophie (Amanda Seyfried) as she’s set to re-open the Greek hotel she inherited from her late mother Donna (Meryl Streep). Th at’s right, Donna has died. Th e trailers for this fi lm spoiled almost every twist and turn of the plot, but they neglected to mention this bombshell we get right

at the beginning. Sophie still gets to pal around with her mother’s friends (Julie Wal-ters and Christine Baranski) and her “three dads” (Co-lin Firth, Stellan Skarsgard, Pierce Brosnan), but a storm threatens to destroy the fes-tivities. Th e daughter’s cur-rent story is told alongside the past adventures of her mother (played as a younger woman by Lily James), making this fi lm the “Godfather Part II” of ABBA movie musicals. Yes, we get Streep eventu-ally, as well as the much-hyped appearance by Cher as Sophie’s grandmother, but the “performances” are little more than cameos.

Th e movie is beyond corny. I’d compare it to something you’d see at an amusement park, but I’m afraid it would demean hardworking amuse-ment park performers. If you enjoy people jumping into overproduced ABBA musi-cal numbers, then I’m sure you’ll fi nd something to like here, and real quick I’ll compliment the movie on its luscious scenery and more fl eshed-out relationships. But

“Mamma Mia!” was hardly my cup of tea, and “Here We Go Again” tries admirably, but fails, to win me over.

“Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again” is rated PG-13 for some suggestive material. Its running time is 114 minutes.

“Th e Equalizer 2”: Audi-ences were fi rst introduced to Denzel Washington’s take on Robert “Th e Equalizer” McCall back in 2014. Th e fi lm, based on an obscure 80’s TV series, was okay at best, a vehicle for Washing-ton to play a charismatic hero against the backdrop of an otherwise-uninspired action movie. Th e movie just barely cracked $100 million at the box offi ce, so even though Washington could be spend-ing his time on any number of more challenging or reward-ing projects, he’s returning to this disposable franchise.

Most of McCall’s adven-tures don’t follow a straight path, he just rights wrongs where he sees them. Th e wall of his apartment building has been vandalized? He’ll repaint it. Neighbor kid is in danger of getting sucked into

a street gang? He’ll give the kid an honest job, but only after he goes to school. Turk-ish gangster has kidnapped his own daughter and fl ed the country? McCall has the CIA training to sort that out. It’s no wonder the movie is based on a TV series, because the fi rst half of the fi lm plays as very episodic.

Eventually we settle into a plot involving an old CIA friend of McCall’s (Melissa Leo), one that also involves his former partner (Pedro Pascal). Th anks to the Pascal character and McCall’s look into the very human life he leads, the sequel is actually better than the original. It’s not too much better – it still has a lot of the same prob-lems like a predictable story and an overlong running time, but there’s a noticeable bump-up. Washington turns in a dexterous performance as always, so if you need a Den-zel fi x, go ahead and watch him Equalize a few things.

“Th e Equalizer 2” is rated R for language and strong bloody violence. Its running time is 121 minutes.

MISSION from Pg. 3

Th e Indians and the priest took excellent care of the church silver and it was there on the altar when Bishop Lamy of the Diocese of New Mexico took charge of the District in 1859.

White men, who had pros-pected and mined along the border country following the Mexican War, verifi ed the existence of the church treasure, stating that they had seen and examined it in 1860.

Th en, in 1861, America became involved in a War Between the States and the Army Troops stationed in

Arizona were desperately needed by the Union, which in those early war years was losing battles on every front.

When the soldiers left, the Apaches began to raid every-thing that white men owned. Fearful because of these raids on the mission, the Del Bac treasure again disappeared.

Th e old Indians, who still live in the area, main-tain that the location of the treasure and the La Esmer-alda is known to certain members of their tribe, and that at the proper time, the treasure will be returned to the mission altar. Until that time, the Indians will keep their secret.
