On the evening of June 20, at a crowded meeting at the Old Firehouse Senior Center, Tombstone Forward Presi-dent Brenda Blades, Linda Weber, Treasurer, and Board Member Maureen Jenkins were removed for cause.

Without opposition in an open forum, a new board was then sworn in. Gordon Anderson is the new Tomb-stone Forward President, Sunny Quatchon the new Vice-President, April Hin-

ton the new Treasurer, with Deb DeManss serving as the new Secretary, and Joe Mora-marco and Derek Carewe as Board Members.

Anderson then asked for a motion to secure the group’s Vantage West bank account with new board members re-placing the old, and this was done the next morning.

“I want everyone to know,” said Anderson, “That Tomb-stone Forward is back on track, and our next Tomb-stone Twilight on Saturday, July 22 is going to be very, very special!” He thanked

folks who had come forward to offer valuable advice at the meeting. “There’s so much enthusiasm here tonight -- get in touch with me at (520) 678-1824, or at the Larian Motel if you want to become a member -- and help us all move Tombstone Forward!”

Tombstone at Twilight is a monthly event where the town stays open later in the night on one Saturday each month. There is shopping, dining, entertainment, an evening gunfight and much more fun!

By Samantha NicholasThe Tombstone News

A new annual event has hit the streets of Tombstone, the 1st Annual Freedom Days event on Saturday, July 1st!

The activities will take place on Allen Street start-ing off with the parade at 11:00am. To sign up for the parade, go to 6th and Al-len Street in front of Tina’s Mercantile at 10:15am.

At 11:30am, Mayor Escapule will be presenting keys to the city to some of the honored guests attending the event including Parade

Marshal and Medal of Hon-or Recipient Drew Dennis Dix (see related article on page 1), Executive Director of Gun Owners of Ameri-ca Larry Pratt, Actor Peter Sherayko from the movie Tombstone, National Rifle Association Board Member Bart Skelton, Glock Fire-arms Executive and Gun writer Larry Ford and Kelly Townsend from Arizona House of Representatives.

Folks will also have the opportunity to purchase raffle tickets for the chance to win a GLOCK pistol. Tickets are one for $5 or

five for $20. Tickets can be purchased at the Li-ons Club Booth on Allen Street throughout the day, the drawing will take place at approximately 3:00pm. GLOCK gear will also be available to big ticket pur-chasers. If you have tickets that don’t win during this raffle, they will be entered into another GLOCK raffle in August during Doc Hol-liday Days.

The Tombstone Vigilantes will be putting on a Wheel-barrow Race at approximate-ly 2:00pm on Allen Street. According to Anderson, this

challenge is based on agility, not strength. “We are hoping to have at least one employee from each business in town, locals or visitors to partici-pate in this new challenge. The winner will receive the prestigious Tombstone Trophy.” This trophy will be awarded to one winner from year to year. To par-ticipate in the wheelbarrow races, please show up on Allen Street near the Lions Club Booth before 2:00pm.

The man behind this new exciting event is Gordon Anderson, owner of the Larian Motel, President of

Tombstone Forward and a member of the Tombstone Lions Club.

The Tombstone News asked Anderson what gave him the idea for Freedom Days, Anderson stated that “I felt a real need and deep sadness that Tombstone doesn’t do much for In-dependence Day. We also wanted to keep our mo-mentum going from the success of America’s Second Amendment City,” said An-derson. Anderson contin-ued, “above all, we are all proud to be Americans and what better way to show it.”

Tombstone gained national attention and praise back in January when Mayor Escapule proclaimed Tomb-stone “America’s Second Amendment City”.

Anderson also added that this event would not be possible without the spon-sorship of the Tombstone Lions Club and help from Glock Firearms.

Other events on Saturday include hangings, gunfight skits and fashion shows. Get out there and show your community spirit! See a full schedule of events on page 5.

Welcome to the 1st Annual Freedom DaysA CELEBRATION OF THE AMERICAN EXPERIENCE


A warm evening. Intro-duced to a guy about my age, early ‘70s, at the Lar-ian Motel, checking in after a long day’s flight from DC. Tall, and spare, and tough in a real sense, not gym-tough, but cowboy tough, like my friend Jeff at OK Cafe break-fasts. Turns out that when he’s not flying back and forth to the capitol, he runs a ranch in New Mexico. This man is Drew Dix.

Dix had an easy, pleasant

manner. Genuinely friendly. Every now and then, you meet somebody who is who they are, not trying to be any-thing more, nor less. Anyway, we had a short talk, and then I left. He’d come out West just for that one evening, to go out to dinner with his friend Gordon Ander-son, and catch up on old times, and tell tall stories over steaks and drinks and a few cigars.

Stories about these times, like what’s going on in DC. And, every now and then, about the past. About Janu-ary 31, 1968, when Viet Cong forces attacked Chau Phu in the first days of the Tet Offensive. Throughout that day and the next, SSG Dix rescued endangered civilians and drove the Viet Cong out of the city. For these actions, Dix was awarded the Medal of Honor by President Lyndon B. John-son. You’ll find the full story on wiki, look up ‘Drew Dix’.

But this isn’t so much about then as about now. It is amazing, and only in America, how someone can

meet Presidents, the highest business leaders, and still be a regular guy, still a West-ern rancher. The real thing. Refusing, all along through the years, to parlay his Medal of Honor fame into money. Honor, duty, country -- not just words here. Like Dix, the real thing, still as bright as all our Flags you’ll see this weekend. He will be here again on Saturday the 1st of July, serving as Grand Mar-shal at our Freedom Days pa-rade. If you’re in town, come by and say Hi, and ask about his ranch, and whether he has enough water this year, and what he thinks about all those politicians back in Washington. See you Satur-day, at Freedom Days!

Cochise County Sheriff’s Office

On June 14, the Cochise County Sheriff’s Office Street Crimes Unit wrapped up a several months long investiga-tion into two local drug traf-fickers. In the early morning hours, a traffic stop was made on a vehicle being operated by Nathaniel “Mel” Williams who was the main target in this investigation.

BULLHEAD CITY - At-torney General Mark Brnov-ich announced his office filed an Arizona Consumer Fraud Lawsuit against Malows Jet Ski Rentals, LLC, and its owner Fariba Badre and manager Mahriar Akbari. Malows Jet Ski Rentals is accused of using misleading advertisements and charging consumers far more than ad-vertised prices.

The Defendants allegedly advertised “$65 ALL DAY” jet ski rentals but charged up to $225 for jet ski rentals on Fridays, weekends, and holi-days. The Defendants’ ad-vertisements allegedly failed to disclose additional fees to launch and recover the jet skis and gasoline charges.

In addition, the State’s law-suit accuses the defendants of: •refusing to refund consum-

ers’ refundable deposits even when the consumers did not cause damage to jet skis or did not owe the full amount of the deposit;

•charging consumers for damage to rentals that were damaged prior to the rental; and

•overcharging consum-ers for gasoline based on the wrong size gasoline tank.

The State’s lawsuit, filed in Maricopa County Superior Court, asks the defendants to pay consumer restitution, attorneys’ fees, and a fine of up to $10,000 for each viola-tion of the Consumer Fraud Act. This case is being handled by Assistant Attor-ney General Alyse Meislik in the Consumer Protection and Advocacy Section.

If you believe you have been the victim of consumer fraud, you can file a con-sumer complaint by con-tacting the Attorney Gen-eral’s Office in Phoenix at (602) 542-5763, in Tucson at (520) 628-6504, or out-side the Phoenix and Tuc-son metro areas at (800) 352-8431. Consumers can also file complaints online by visiting the Attorney General’s website at https://www.azag.gov/complaints/consumer.

WASHINGTON, D.C. –U.S. Representative Mar-tha McSally (R-AZ) last week introduced the bipar-tisan Veterans’ Entry to Ap-prenticeship Act. The bill would allow veterans to use their educational benefits to enroll in pre-apprenticeship programs and would provide returning veterans with a smooth transition to the ci-vilian workforce.

“As a veteran, I know first-hand the difficulties our re-turning service members face as they transition to civilian life. This bill will make it eas-ier for them to obtain jobs us-ing the benefits they earned,” said Congresswoman Martha McSally. “Stable, good-pay-ing tradecraft and manufac-turing jobs in our community remain vacant because there aren’t enough people with the skills to fill them. Allowing

GI bill use for these training programs benefits our return-ing troops and their families, as well as local businesses. It only makes sense. Thanks to Rep. Gabbard for working with me on this common-sense legislation.”

Currently, GI Bill benefits cannot be used to cover the cost of Department of Labor approved pre-apprenticeship programs. In certain indus-tries, many veterans face bar-riers to entry into apprentice-ship programs because they lack pre-apprenticeship train-ing. These programs teach the skills and techniques neces-sary to prepare individuals for apprenticeship training and careers in the skilled trade industry. The Veterans’ Entry to Apprenticeship Act allows veterans to use their educa-tional benefits under the GI Bill to learn critical workplace

skills. “Our service members develop valuable skills and experience while serving our nation, and should be able to access opportunities to fur-ther develop those skills and set themselves up for success as they transition into civilian life. Veterans still face many obstacles as they go through this transition,” Congress-woman Tulsi Gabbard, Co-Chair of the Congressional post-9/11 Veterans Caucus previously stated. “This bill works to make that transi-tion smoother by enabling our veterans to use their GI Bill benefits for apprentice-ship programs in the skilled trade industry. While there is much to be done, this bill will help reduce the still too high numbers of unemployed vet-erans, and address the short-age of skilled workers in our country.”

The shortage of skilled workers in the United States in recent years is expected to grow, which explains why more apprenticeship pro-grams are launching across the country—in fact, 1,700

new apprenticeship programs were established last year. With an increasing number of post-9/11 veterans looking to enter the workforce and an estimated 453,000 unem-ployed veterans in 2016, this bill will make it easier for service members to pursue careers in occupations that require an apprenticeship.

This bill builds on Rep. McSally’s track record of sup-porting veterans. Last week the House passed the VA Accountability and Whis-tleblower Act to improve services to veterans by pro-tecting whistleblowers and streamlining the process to remove, demote, or suspend any Veterans’ Affairs em-ployee for poor performance. Rep. McSally’s first bill, the Border Jobs for Vets Act was signed into law on October 16, 2015. It fills vacancies at ports of entry and along the border with veterans by ensuring separating service members are aware of hiring opportunities for Customs and Border Protection posi-tions.

Arlethe Rios, Clerk of the Cochise County Board of Supervisors, has been named one of thirty finalists by NextGen, a Washington, DC based organization inspiring government innovation. She is a finalist in the Courageous Champion category that rec-ognizes a public servant that is blazing the path for their generation in government. Ms. Rios is one of six final-ists in that category and only two of the thirty finalists are from Arizona.

Along with statutory re-cords and management func-tions for the elected Board Office, Ms. Rios has also

taken on a leadership role for county programs that include the Cochise County Legacy Project, which focuses on county department’s his-tory, services, and staff. She also spearheaded the County’s four year partici-pation in the United States of America Vietnam War Commemoration, a national program to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Vietnam War and to honor veterans and their families. Ms. Rios has also taken a leadership role in com-munity outreach programs that include food and book drives and internal pro-grams that focus on health, training and development for employees.

“In a democratic soci-ety, participation by all is critical, and having young people get involved in gov-ernment is important for our future. Government impacts so many parts of our lives that it is truly necessary to get involved and voice our thoughts, ideas, and con-cerns. Working for Cochise

County continues to give me that ability,” said Ms. Rios.

Arlethe Rios joined Cochise County in 2008. She was appointed Clerk of the Board in 2013, making her one of the youngest Clerks appointed in Arizona’s his-tory. Before coming to work at the County, she served in the U.S. Army as a medic, serving in Germany and performing a tour of duty in Iraq in 2004. Ms. Rios holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Busi-ness Administration from the University of Phoenix and is serving her second term as a Commissioner on the State of Arizona’s Veteran’s Service Advisory Commission.

The finalists will be rec-ognized at the Next Genera-tion of Government Train-ing Summit on July 27-28 in Washington, D.C. when the awards are announced.

Rescue Beacon Activation Saves Two Border Crossers in Distress

McSally Introduces Bipartisan Bill to Connect Veterans to

Job Training Programs

TUCSON, Ariz. – Tucson Sector Border Patrol agents from the Ajo Station respond-ed to a rescue beacon activa-tion Saturday night west of Why, Arizona and found two men, a Mexican national and a Guatemalan national who required Life Flight trans-port for advanced medical care.

When agents arrived at the Growler rescue beacon, a 25-year-old Mexican man told rescuers that his travel companion needed medical help. Agents, guided by the Mexican national, located the 26-year-old Guatemalan who was going in and out of consciousness. Border Patrol agents certified as emergen-cy medical technicians pro-vided the man with intra-venous f luids while waiting for a Life Flight helicopter for transport to a local hos-pital.

Agents evaluated the Mexican man and deter-mined he did not require

medical attention. He was arrested for immigration vio-lations and taken to the Ajo Station for processing.

After the Guatemalan was treated and released, he was taken into custody by Ajo Border Patrol agents and charged with immigration violations.

Due to the extreme heat, Tucson Sector Border Patrol officials warn that summer is an especially dangerous time to be stranded in Arizona’s desert. Anyone in need of emergency assistance needs to call 9-1-1 immediately as dehydration can be deadly if not treated.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials welcome assistance from the commu-nity. Citizens can report sus-picious activity to the Border Patrol and remain anony-mous by calling 1-877-872-7435 toll free. Contacting the Border Patrol to report illicit activity could result in saving someone’s life.

From his book, Ghost Towns & Lost Treasures

Today, the remains of the old copper camp of Gleeson lie scattered over the hills south of the Dragoon Moun-tains, some twenty-eight miles north of Bisbee, east of the San Pedro River, and on the western fringes of the Sulphur Springs Valley.

Many, many years ago, Hohokam, Apache, Navajo, and likely other tribes came to this area to obtain sky blue stone they prized so highly: turquoise.

A dim trail between Glee-son and Courtland heads west to a razorback ridge. It is called Turquoise Ridge. Although this rich turquoise deposit was discovered by white men in 1870, it was not mined because it was located in the very heart of Apache land.

Th e stronghold of the Apache Chief, Cochise, lay only a few miles away, and he carried on bloody warfare against the white men until his death in 1872. Geronimo, Victorio, Juh Loco, and other fi erce warriors took over then, and were not subdued until 1886.

Turquoise mining became a full-scale venture in 1890. Th e fi rst claims were located by Henry Durant, who sold out to Raskum and Tannen-baum, merchants in Tomb-stone, even before he had completed his assessment work.

Th e merchants, in turn, sold the claims to G.S. Goode, who mined turquoise there for several years. Goode eventually sold his holdings to Lynn Shattuck.

Th e stringers occurred in porous veins of light brown kalin, sericite, or limonite and the gem-quality tur-quoise showed up in the form of nuggets in these veins.

To jump ahead a few years, Lynn Shattuck, in 1926, sold fi fty pounds of gem turquoise to a man in Gallup, New Mexico.

While mining this he un-covered the largest turquoise nugget ever found on Tur-quoise Ridge. He opened one rich stringer which net-ted him eighty pounds of fi ne

quality gems. In this stringer was the large nugget weigh-ing three pounds. As the blue stone mining grew, a town was founded and aptly named Turquoise. A Post Offi ce was built in 1890, and lasted as long as the turquoise boom, ‘till 1894.

Around 1896, a man named John Gleeson arrived on the scene. John had come from Ireland, and to Arizona Territory by way of Iowa. He staked copper claims around the remains of Turquoise. When the new town site came to life with the min-ing of copper, it was named Gleeson in his honor.

On October 15, 1900, a new Post Offi ce was estab-lished and offi cially labeled Gleeson, Arizona.

Gleeson’s copper mines were not as abundantly rich as those of nearby Bisbee, but they did produce seven hundred thousand tons of copper ore from 1890 until 1957.

Th e town grew quickly because of ore being pro-duced by such mines as the Brother Jonathon, Defi ance, Silver Bell, Pejon, Sadie, April Fool, Maid of Sun-shine, King Plomo, New York Gift, Shannon, and the Copper Belle. The latter was the first mine discovered by John Gleeson and the most productive of them all.

As in many hastily built mining towns, tragedy, in the form of fire, struck fre-quently. The most destruc-tive one occurred in June, 1912. It started in a ware-house owned by B.A. Tay-lor.

Gleeson had no firefi ght-ing facilities at that time other than a bucket brigade. Dynamite was used in an ef-fort to remove some build-ings, but twenty-eight build-ings and their entire contents were destroyed.

Taylor, alone, reported his losses at eighty-fi ve thousand dollars over and above the insurance he carried.

Copper was produced steadily at Gleeson until World War I, but by 1939, most of the copper was gone.

Th e Post Offi ce was closed that year and a year later, the town was practically aban-doned.

In 1938, Paramount Pic-

tures sent Producer Harry Sherman to Gleeson with a company of seventy-fi ve ac-tors, actresses, technicians, and cameramen and an addi-tional one hundred twenty-fi ve extras from Tucson and Tombstone.

Th eir purpose was to film “Th e Mysterious Rider,” an adaptation of the Zane Grey novel.

Carpenters transferred the old Libby Hotel into what appeared to be a two-story structure, built false fronts on two blocks of adobe hous-es, set up hitching racks, and planted a number of cacti and other desert growth.

Th e old jail was perfect as it stood. With this back-ground, an angry mob at-tempted to take “Wills” (Weldon Hayburn) from the jail for a lynching party, and the eff orts of “Colle” (Char-lotte Fields) to stop them was of no avail.

But then, up rides “Pecos” (Douglas Dumbrille) and his sidekick “Frosty” (Sidney Toler) and justice triumphed again!

Lying at an elevation of four thousand nine hundred and twenty-three feet and being sixteen miles east of Tomb-stone, the buildings of Glee-son consist mostly of crum-bling adobe walls, buckled and splintered wood-framed buildings and an ancient tree, whose gnarled trunk shows the marks of the log chain that held the shackles of those who defi ed the law.

Th is tree served the camp as a jail and, as such, was known as the jail tree. Once a prisoner was sentenced, he was locked to the tree and remained there until the sen-tence had been completed. Weather nor anything else interfered with his serving his sentence. Once the jail was built, this practice was discontinued

A tiny cemetery is located on the outskirts of Gleeson. Many of Gleeson’s pioneers rest there. One of the most famous is Yee Wee, whose Chinese restaurant was fa-mous during Gleeson’s cop-per boom days.

Th e restaurant burned in 1939, but Yee Wee lived on until 1968. He was born in Toi Shan, Canton Province, China on December 7, 1885. He lies in the little cemetery under a headstone which reads:

“Yee Wee, Born in China I see you tomorrow.”

Jean-François Gravelet, aka Emile Blondin was one of the greatest tightrope-walkers in history. Born in 1824, and was nicknamed ‘Blondin’ for his fair hair. When a circus came to his town when he was just a boy, Blondin was so fascinated by the tight-rope-walkers that he decided to be one himself and started practising immediately us-ing his father’s fi shing-rod as a pole. His parents sent him for training as an acrobat. He made his fi rst professional ap-pearance as ‘Th e Little Won-der’ at the age of fi ve.

Blondin’s fi rst crossing of the Niagara Falls, in 1859, was the most famous feat in a life packed with them and

like all the others was pains-takingly prepared, organised and exploited for maximum publicity. He took care to enlist the support of the Ni-agara Falls Gazette which at fi rst thought it was a hoax. Newspapers all over the country were soon interested. Th e railway companies laid on special trains and thou-sands of spectators assembled to watch.

Th e tightrope was taken across the river in a rowing boat. More than three inches thick, it sagged by some 60 feet in the middle, so it had a steep slope. Th e distance was about 1,000 feet. Blondin of-fered to carry a volunteer over on his back but, unsurpris-ingly, no one stood forward. Bands on both banks played as he began his crossing and took his time over what he privately considered an easy task. He stopped and lay down for a rest at one point and stood on one leg for a while. Th e crossing took him a little over 17 minutes. After a pause he went back across on the rope, much faster this time. He was cheered to the echo and the feat was report-ed all over America and in Europe.

After a period of retire-ment, Blondin reappeared in 1880, starring in the 1893 season of the pantomime “Jack and the Beanstalk” at

the Crystal Palace. Charlotte, his wife, died in 1888. In 1895, he married again. His third wife, Katherine James had nursed him through a back injury earlier that year. His final performance was in Belfast in 1896. Blondin died of diabetes at his “Niagara House” in Ealing, London, on February 22, 1897 at 73 years old. His estate at death was valued at $187 thousand as of 2015. Although much younger, his widow survived him by only four years, dy-ing of cancer in 1901 at the age of 36.

Dear Editor: On June 20th the all-Re-

publican Arizona (Corrup-tion) Corporation Commis-sion rejected Commissioner Bob Burns’ attempt to dis-qualify his colleagues from deciding whether APS should be allowed to raise our electric bill. From the words spoken and votes taken re-cently by the Commissioners, one must wonder how sincere the Commissioners are when speaking about “opening up” the process, having “fairness” as a guiding principle, and es-tablishing “transparency” as a

policy in the future. If they are really serious, perhaps they might want to stop hid-ing behind the cloak of “con-fi dentiality.”

With its thinly veiled au-thoritarianism and blatant perversion of the democratic process, the Arizona Corpo-ration Commission is a shin-ing example of why members of the general public have little trust and much disgust toward those in public offi ce whose double standards and hypocrisy are so evident.

Sincerely, James Kimes Prescott Valley, AZ

Shattered LivesSometimes stuff takes

place in life that brings us to a crushing halt. What hap-pens within us during such times is not only hidden, it is rather unpredictable. Each of us is unique; therefore each of us has a diff erent point at which a devastating, exhaust-ing, or traumatizing trial can destroy us.

Many people endure one test after another with little outward hint about what is going on inside of them. Other folks will tell anyone within grumbling distance every little detail of their dif-fi culties and concerns. Oddly enough, these two types of people have more in common than you may realize.

Whether someone is silent or talkative, each is equally vulnerable if a life-altering event pushes them to their personal shattering point.

Tragically, I’ve lost more than one person I’ve deeply cared about when they, while shat-tered beyond hope, chose a dreadful act we call suicide.

Th e ending of one’s life on purpose ignites explosive emotions. I wish death was not an option for the shat-tered, but this is no longer the case. Every day we hear the story of yet another child, teen, or adult who will never choose another thing ever again.

Perhaps removing death’s reality has cheapened pre-cious life, I don’t know. But I do know that facing a loss of this kind is unlike facing any other loss. The intensity of being left behind this way is in itself shatter-ing and perilous. I hope you never have to fi nd out exactly what I mean when I say that. ([email protected])

Donna Lee Forrer

By Susan WallacePresident, Tombstone Chamber

What is Destination Mar-keting? Destination market-ing is a type of marketing that promotes a destination (town, city, region, country) with a purpose to increase the number of visitors. In other words, destination market-ing is a tourism advertising for a specifi c place. Unlike product marketing, where the products are delivered to customers through distribu-tion channels, in destination marketing consumers move to the destinations.

Th e Tombstone Chamber has been continually active with marketing Tombstone AZ as a Destination Point and working with Arizona Tourism Organizations and Groups.

Now… having said all of that – as we all know – to be successful a marketing and advertising eff ort has to ad-just to the various audiences – taking age, gender, and geographic location in con-sideration.

And we here at the Cham-ber believe in sharing infor-mation, plans, and tactics. As we all know “A rising tide lifts all boats.”

Tombstone Arizona is a highly visible and well-visited community that is an impor-tant part of American histo-ry. Who hasn’t heard of Wy-att Earp, Doc Holliday or the Gunfi ght at the OK Corral? Tombstone Arizona is part of every US History book, been featured in numerous mov-ies and documentaries, and is a defi nite place that people

from ALL OVER the world want to see, visit and experi-ence.

Our community lives up to the tag line of “Th e Town Too Tough To Die.” We have endured the continuing eco-nomic roller coaster, and are adjusting to the trends in “Heritage Tourism” and real-izing the power of how social media can help our busi-nesses. Th e statement below is a marketing statement …a statement of expectations of sorts.

“Imagine an entire city on the National Historic Regis-ter. What you’ll see in Tomb-stone Arizona today is a care-ful, accurate restoration of a historically signifi cant Town in Southern Arizona. Much of Tombstone’s architecture is unique to the West. While the mining boom of 1877 brought the likes of Tomb-stone’s founder, Edward Schieff elin, it also provided the back drop for the “shots heard around the world” at the Gunfi ght at the OK Cor-ral. Tombstone Arizona is a living showcase of American history.”

Does this statement accu-rately represent Tombstone Arizona? Our Community Visitors come from near and far… and have an expec-tation of an AMAZING HISTORICAL ADVEN-TURE! Th ey want to see, and hear and experience the history of Tombstone Ari-zona.

Williamsburg Virgina, Deadwood South Dakota and Dodge City Kansas, like Tombstone Arizona ALL depend on Tourism. All of

these community, to include Tombstone Arizona are ad-justing and becoming inno-vative (thinking out of the box) in ways to attract new and repeat visitors.

We here, in Tombstone Arizona, participate in DES-TINATION MARKET-ING every day. Every time you share something about Tombstone Arizona on So-cial Media – you are mar-keting. You are promoting Tombstone Arizona.

Th ere are diff erent ele-ments of Tourism Market-ing that we’ve covered in the past and can be found in past Newsletters:

In the Next Few Weeks in our newsletters we are go-ing to go through the vari-ous Destination Marketing Strategies … and we sincerely hope that you will fi nd some of these relevant and helpful.

Th e First Strategy is – THE WEBSITE. Th e Tombstone Chamber website is well used. It receives upwards of 10,000 visitors monthly. It searches well, and is respon-sive on all mobile devices. It is fi lled with information. We regularly receive emails from people from ALL OVER THE WORLD ask-ing for information. So do we need to do anything? Th ere is always room for improve-ment… and knowing how individuals search for infor-mation – we have chosen to do a few enhancements.

We have added a Google Translator that will translate the website in to 99% of lan-guages. Th e Google Transla-tor has been added to all ex-tensions of the website.

We’ve taken the RELO-CATION INFO. naviga-tion tab and turned it in to a completely separate website that branches off from the main Tombstone Chamber website. Th is website, www.ComeVisitTombstoneAZ.com stands alone with visiting and relocation information. Th is website is optimized, re-sponsive, and has the Google Translator feature.

We’ve taken the ABOUT TOMBSTONE naviga-tion tab and turned it into a completely separate website that branches off from the main Tombstone Chamber website. Th is website, www.EnjoyTombstoneAZ.com stands alone with Tombstone AZ background information & history. Th is website is op-timized, responsive, and has the Google Translator fea-ture.

Th ese separate, yet in-tegrated, portions of the Tombstone Chamber website will have the fl exibility to be part of the Chamber’s main site, and have the power to be searchable through its own content and the keyword rich domain.

Th is is all for now… about the fi rst strategy for Desti-nation Marketing – Next up will be about Social Media – Facebook, Instagram, Pinter-est, Snap Chat and Twitter.

Let’s all remember to DECORATE our busi-nesses and WAVE the RED, WHITE, AND BLUE for the upcoming FREEDOM DAYS event on July 1 and the Fourth of July Weekend.

Remember that our news-letters can be found at: http://tombstonechamber.com/newsletter/

Th ank you for your time and being part of the Tomb-stone Chamber of Com-merce.

PHOENIX – On Fri., June 16, 2017, the Arizona Registrar of Contractors (AZ ROC) concluded a two-week, statewide enforcement effort targeting unlicensed entities performing contracting work and educating property own-ers about the importance of hiring only licensed contrac-tors. The ROC’s participation represented one of many states participating in their own ef-forts, all in coordination with the National Association of State Contractors Licensing Agencies (NASCLA).

Over the two week effort, AZ ROC dedicated 10 two-person teams comprised of unlicensed and licensed in-vestigators to make contact with contractors, unlicensed entities and property owners to increase outreach, provide education, and - when neces-sary - issue warnings or viola-tions.

The 20 investigators con-centrated efforts in Coconino, Maricopa, Pima, Pinal, and

Yavapai counties and made contact with 244 individu-als, including 39 homeown-ers, 142 contractors, 57 unli-censed entities, four business property owners and two building officials.

The vast majority of con-tacts are described as educa-tional in nature. AZ ROC, however, did issue 26 warn-ings and 43 violations were noted for follow-up and could result in cases being opened and investigated.

Director of the Arizona Registrar of Contractors Jeff Fleetham stated, “Individu-als and entities performing contracting work illegally and without a license place the public at risk and effectively steal millions from Arizona’s hardworking, law-abiding contractors and their employ-ees. AZ ROC proudly par-ticipates in this nationwide enforcement effort and the ability to educate the public as to their need to hire licensed contracting professionals.”

The Arizona State Library, Archives and Public Records, a division of the Secretary of State, has awarded a $30,200 grant to the Cochise County Library District to establish Free Little Libraries in rural areas of Cochise County

“We are very excited about this grant,” said Library Di-rector Amadee Ricketts. “It gives us an opportunity to connect with people in com-munities that are far from existing library services. The Little Libraries will not re-place traditional library ser-vice, but they will provide a good selection of books for all ages, available any time people want them.”

The goal of the grant proj-ect is to establish ten Free Little Library boxes or kiosks around the county. The ini-tial stages of the project will focus on gathering informa-tion about possible locations, with a particular emphasis on areas previously served by the bookmobile. The Library District will be working with Karen Fasimpaur, an educa-tor based in Portal, to assess community needs and iden-tify possible partners.

After locations are cho-sen, Little Library boxes will be decorated, installed, and stocked with books. During the grant period, the Cochise County Library District will work with community mem-bers to ensure that the proj-ect is sustainable for years to come. In 2017, the Arizona

State Library received about $3.2 million under the Li-brary Services and Technol-ogy Act (LSTA), which is administered by the Insti-tute of Museum and Library Services. Arizona libraries received $800,000 awarded on a competitive basis. The remaining funds are used to support statewide services, including family literacy and reading programs, electronic databases, digital govern-ment initiatives, continuing education classes, and other programs.

Cochise County, estab-lished in 1881, is located in the Southeastern part of Arizona at the International border of Mexico and spans more than 4 million acres. It is home to 130,000 resi-dents and nearly 300,000 visitors each year. It includes the historic cities of Bisbee, Benson, Douglas, Tombstone and Willcox. The City of Si-erra Vista is home to historic Fort Huachuca, an active Army military installation. The County has jurisdiction over tax assessments, health and social services, solid waste, elections, and flood-plain issues throughout the County. It also has respon-sibility for courts, highway improvements, law enforce-ment, schools, libraries, and planning and zoning in the unincorporated areas. Visit www.cochise.az.gov for more information.
