Appar- ently, several years ago, the County 911 system required physical addresses for all residential and business lo- cations. At the time, letters and notifications were sent to residents and merchants to verify or correct their re- spective addresses so the 911 system would have an ac- curate geo base to operate from. Unfortunately, many of our citizens and merchants did not respond to the letters and they were assigned ad- dresses that may or may not have been correct.

As a result, we found the majority to be in error.

AZ Department of Forestry and Fire Management

A spike in the number of wildfires this year is con-cerning to fire management officers as resources become spread thin and fires compete for firefighters, equipment, and aviation. As of Tuesday, June 16, 2020, 941 wildfires have burned nearly 170,000 acres of private, federal, and tribal lands. Last year, during the same time frame, 689 fires burned close to 47,000 acres of land. Ninety-five percent of this year’s fires are human caused, and while a major-ity of the fires are not inten-tional, they are most certainly preventable.

Department of Forestry and Fire Management investiga-tors found multiple ignitions sources, including an aban-

doned campfire, fireworks, and cigarette butts at the point of origin on the Stage Fire, near New River, back in May. The multiple ignition sources made it difficult for investi-gators to pinpoint the exact cause of the fire. The East Desert and Ocotillo Fires were also determined to be human caused. Investigators say East Desert was started by someone using a weed eat-er to clear vegetation in their yard. The ignition source of the Ocotillo Fire remains un-der investigation. This year, state fire investigators report some wildfire starts on pri-vate and state lands include, target shooting, escaped burn barrels, abandoned campfires, grinding metal, welding, and a barbecue grill that blew over in the wind.

As of now, parents will have the option of sending their child to school when schools reopen, or taking the option of remote learn-ing from home. This comes from a $270 million plan an-nounced by Governor Ducey and Superintendent Hoffman on Wednesday.

Tombstone Schools are set to open on August 3rd as of now, school leaders are work-ing diligently to come up with a safe plan for Tombstone’s students. The Tombstone News will be speaking with the school Superintendant Robert Devere next week to get further details of their-plan for Tombstone Unified School District.

The funding plan, which will enable schools to op-erationalize the different recommendations made in

the Arizona Department of Education’s Roadmap to Re-opening guidance, includes $270 million to give schools the tools needed to reopen safely at the start of the school year, including: $200 million to increase funding for remote learning and to protect schools against bud-get shortfalls due to declin-ing enrollment; $40 million to expand broadband in rural communities to bridge the digital divide; $20 million to bring in extra support for high-need schools; $6 mil-lion for the Arizona Teach-ers Academy to assist with the teacher shortage; $1 mil-lion in microgrants to sup-port innovative programs to continue educating Arizona students; $1 million for ve-hicles for the Arizona School For The Deaf And Blind; $700,000 for leadership de-velopment through Beat The Odds Leadership Academy;

Attorney General Mark Brnovich announced that former Maricopa County As-sessor Paul Petersen pleaded guilty in Maricopa County Superior Court to running an adoption fraud scheme that involved bringing pregnant women from the Marshall Islands to the U.S. to give birth, fraudulently paid for by Arizona taxpayers. Today’s plea agreements only resolve Petersen’s criminal cases in Arizona.

On Th ursday June 18th, Petersen pleaded guilty to: Fraudulent Schemes and Artifi ces, a Class 2 Felony, Fraudulent Schemes and Practices, a Class 5 Felony, Forgery, a Class 4 Felony and Fraudulent Schemes and Practices, a Class 5 Felony.

“While Paul Petersen en-joyed a position of respect and trust in the community, he manipulated adoptive families and bilked Arizona taxpayers for his own profi t,” said Attorney General Mark Brnovich. “Mr. Petersen must now answer for his crimes. It

doesn’t matter if you’re politi-cally connected, wealthy, or an elected offi cial, the rule of law applies equally to every-one.”

As part of the plea agree-ment with the State of Ari-zona, Petersen will pay the following in restitution: $650,000 to AHCCCS, $11,000 to an uncharged victim and $18,000 to the Arizona Attorney Gener-al’s Offi ce for investigative costs.

A sentencing hearing for Petersen has not been sched-uled yet. A Maricopa Coun-ty Superior Court Judge will consider both aggravating and mitigating factors. Pe-tersen faces between 3 to 12.5 years in the Arizona Department of Corrections in his first case. Petersen faces between .5 to 4 years in prison for the second case.

Petersen ran an adoption agency out of Mesa, Arizo-na. For more than a decade, Petersen had been involved in arranging adoptions from the Marshall Islands.

In October 2019, a State Grand Jury indicted Petersen after a multistate investiga-tion. Petersen charged adop-tive families on average $35,000 per adoption and claimed the money could be used for various expens-es like legal, medical, and living. However, Petersen directed his co-conspira-tor, Lynwood Jennet, and the birth mothers to pro-vide false information about their residency status to ob-tain medical services from the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS), the state’s Medicaid system. The birth mothers should not have qualifi ed for AHCCCS benefi ts because they were not Arizona residents. Be-tween November 2015 and May 2019, AHCCCS paid for at least 29 births.

Second Criminal In-vestigation: Following the October 2019 indictment, the Arizona Attorney General’s Offi ce opened a second criminal investiga-tion against Petersen. Pe-tersen had provided false information regarding birth mothers’ fees to prospec-tive adoptive parents and to

the Maricopa County Su-perior Court Juvenile Divi-sion. Petersen would often include fraudulent or false information on court paper-work to ensure adoptions were approved. Additionally, Petersen would infl ate the duration of time he paid for a birth mother’s living ex-penses to the adoptive fam-ily. For example, one family paid Petersen $33,000 for an adoption. According to an affi davit, $11,000 was for living expenses that Pe-tersen had paid for the birth mother to live in Arizona for fi ve months. In reality, the birth mother arrived in Ari-zona one day prior to giving birth and only stayed for an additional 14 days.

Co-Defendant Lynwood Jennet: In December 2019, Petersen’s co-defendant Lyn-wood Jennet pleaded guilty for her involvement in the adoption fraud scheme. As part of her plea agreement, Jennet agreed to testify against Petersen. Jennet faces between 2 to 4 years in the Arizona Department of Cor-rections.

A sentencing hearing for Jennet is scheduled for Au-gust 21, 2020 at 11 AM.

SCHOOL from Pg. 1

Enrollment Stabilization Grant Program: The plan includes a grant program to keep school budgets stable for charters and dis-tricts partnering with the state to strengthen student achievement and transpar-ency. The grant program guarantees funding that is the greater amount of 98%

of a school’s 2019-2020 en-rollment or their 40th-day student account as enhanced by funding online learners at the same level as in-per-son peers.

Eligibility for the grant is contingent on the follow-ing accountability measures: Student attendance data; fi nancial compliance with state and federal transpar-ency requirements; student

achievement monitoring data submitted to the state; and In-person education is provided the same number of days per week as last year.

Executive Order: The Governor’s Executive Or-der ensures that all fami-lies have the opportunity to choose the mode of learning that best fits their needs. It allows districts and charters

without an approved Arizo-na Online Instruction certi-fi cation to continue off ering distance learning to students whose parents choose that option, with no impact to their funding. To be eligi-ble for this option, districts must submit a plan to the State Department of Educa-tion and charters must sub-mit a plan to the State Board For Charter Schools.

Elvis Presley performed his very last concert on June 26, in 1977. His fi nal show brought in 18,000 fans at the Indianapolis’s Market Square Arena. Elvis performed for about 80 minutes cramming in his classics like “Jail-house Rock”, “Hound Dog,” “Hurt” and a cover of Simon & Garfunkel’s “Bridge over Troubled Water.” He closed the concert with “Can’t Help Falling in Love with You”.

He reportedly told the audience “We’ll meet you again, God bless, adios” as he left the stage. On August 16, 1977, he passed away, at his home in Graceland, Mem-phis, Tennessee.

Elvis Aaron Presley, also known simply as Elvis, was an American singer and ac-tor. Regarded as one of the most signifi cant cultural icons of the 20th century, he is often referred to as the “King of Rock and Roll” or simply “the King”.

Presley was born in Tupelo, Mississippi, and relocated to Memphis, Tennessee, with his family when he was 13 years old. His music career began there in 1954, record-ing at Sun Records with producer Sam Phillips, who wanted to bring the sound of African-American music to a wider audience. Presley, on rhythm acoustic guitar, and accompanied by lead guitarist Scotty Moore and bassist Bill Black, was a pioneer of rock-abilly, an uptempo, backbeat-driven fusion of country mu-sic and rhythm and blues. In 1955, drummer D. J. Fontana joined to complete the lineup of Presley’s classic quartet and RCA Victor acquired his contract in a deal arranged by Colonel Tom Parker, who would manage him for more than two decades. Presley’s fi rst RCA single, “Heart-break Hotel”, was released in January 1956 and became a number-one hit in the United States. With a series of suc-cessful network television ap-pearances and chart-topping records, he became the lead-ing fi gure of the newly popu-lar sound of rock and roll.

In November 1956, Pre-sley made his fi lm debut in Love Me Tender. Drafted into military service in 1958, Presley re-launched his re-cording career two years later with some of his most com-mercially successful work. He

held few concerts, however, and guided by Parker, pro-ceeded to devote much of the 1960s to making Hollywood fi lms and soundtrack albums, most of them critically derid-ed. In 1968, following a sev-en-year break from live per-formances, he returned to the stage in the acclaimed televi-sion comeback special Elvis, which led to an extended Las Vegas concert residency and a string of highly profi table tours. In 1973, Presley gave the fi rst concert by a solo art-ist to be broadcast around the world, Aloha from Hawaii. Years of prescription drug abuse severely compromised his health, and he died sud-denly in 1977 at his Grace-land estate at the age of 42.

With his rise from poverty to signifi cant fame, Presley’s success seemed to epitomize the American Dream. Th e best-selling solo music art-ist of all time, he was com-mercially successful in many genres, including pop, coun-try, R&B, adult contempo-rary, and gospel. He won three Grammy Awards, re-ceived the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award at age 36, and has been inducted into multiple music halls of fame. Presley holds several records; the most RIAA certifi ed gold and platinum albums, the most albums charted on the Billboard 200, and the most number-one albums and number-one singles on the UK Albums Chart and UK Singles Chart, respectively. In 2018, Presley was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

By Ben T. TraywickWorld Renowned Author

Martha Marsh was big, buxom, belligerent, and de-cidedly ill-tempered. Still, she was an immaculate housekeeper, industrious, and said to be the finest cook in Tombstone.

A great deal of her time and energy was devoted to running her very popular San Jose Boarding House on Fremont and Fifth Streets. Th e rest of her time, she used to ridicule and domi-nate her mild, subdued little husband, George.

George found it so easy to call Martha’s wrath down upon him, that he lived in a constant state of nervous apprehension. She saw to it that he was never idle, but continually waiting tables, sweeping and scrubbing fl oors, chopping and carry-ing wood, washing dishes, or fetching this or carrying that.

George worked so steadily, that he really had no time to think about his miserable life of drudgery.

George’s anxiety made him an awkward oaf when Martha was near. One day, while desperately trying to follow her rapid and furious

orders, he dropped an entire stack of dishes and shattered them.

Infuriated, Martha swung the handiest object, a heavy iron skillet, at George. It caught the unfortunate little man square on the forehead.

Th e force of the blow lifted him from his feet and slammed him against the wall. She yanked him to his feet, but George dangled limply in her grasp.

Frightened, she tried to revive him, but without suc-cess. George was out cold, a lump rapidly rising on his forehead.

Fearing that he was seri-ously injured, Martha rushed out to summon a doctor. Af-ter all, she told herself, she was rather fond of the little pipsqueak.

While she was gone, George partially recovered. He could not remember who he was, where he was, or why he was there. His in-stinct, however, told him that he had better get out of that house full of bro-ken dishes before the owner came back.

Bolting out the door, he skedaddled down the street. By the time that Martha and the doctor returned, George was long gone.

For a number of hours, George wandered aimlessly, tenderly rubbing his aching head. At length, he crawled into a freight wagon, bur-rowed into the cargo, and fell asleep. When he awoke, the wagon was toiling thru the hills, so he just rode along. Th ey eventually arrived in the copper boom town of Bisbee, Arizona.

Although he could re-member nothing of his past, George knew he had to eat, so he found himself a job.

Within a short time he was able to save a few dol-lars. When his savings were large enough, he purchased a sturdy burro and a pros-pecting outfi t and headed for the hills.

Aimlessly, he wandered across the International Border into Sonora, Mex-ico. Digging and panning in likely spots, he unknow-ingly moved steadily south to an area near Babvispe at the foot of the Sierra Madres.

Hard work and outdoor living made him healthy and happy. That he was the only gringo in miles, made no diff erence to him, for he loved the Mexican people and their fiery food and drink. He was always welcomed in the tiny towns of Babvispe, San Miguelito, and Basarac.

Fires in the hills, smoke rolling down I-10 over Benson. With the tempera-ture going up to 101° today I’m very glad that we recently secured and spent $1 million in grant money to upgrade our city water system. You get a lot for $1 million. New city wells and pumps, and high-tech SCADA water manage-ment. Being 1000’ below the springs in the Huachucas sure helps for water pressure, and the newly-relined 1.3 mil-lion gallon reservoir goes a long way to keeping us safe if fi re breaks out down here in town. New pipes, new hy-drants, and our volunteer fi re-fi ghters are now on duty 24/7. For such a small town, we are batting way above average for fi re protection.

Where there’s smoke there’s fi re. In the fi nancial markets now, plumes of smoke drift-ing up into the humid summer air above Wall Street. Smoke from smoldering mountains of corporate debt. For more than fi ve years, both large and small companies have bor-rowed heavily thanks to the incredibly low interest rates set to keep the Great Reces-sion recovery going. And Wall Street, sensing a chance to do a rerun of the CDOs that helped cause the last downturn, has now shifted to packaging corporate debt into new multilayer instru-ments called CLOs – Col-lateralized Loan Obligations. CLOs buy up risky corporate loans and turn them into sup-posedly safe bonds that are bought by banks, insurance fi rms and other global inves-tors. Where the older CDO packages were based on mort-gage debt, the new CLOs are made from the amazing $1.2

trillion pile of corporate debt – far, far larger than the home mortgage debt that triggered off the last recession. Huge.

Not that anybody worried this time around. Th e new CLOs are safer, with a much thicker padding of good debt at their top layers, and less bad debt at the bottom. But then along came the Coro-navirus and a wave of bank-ruptcies. Suddenly, company after company – brand-name companies like Neiman Marcus, Hertz, J.Crew and JCPenney – went under. Debt from these “good” compa-nies became bad debt over-night. Diversifi cation hasn’t helped. Industries like retail-ers and airlines were hit hard by the sudden shock of the coronavirus. Few industry groups were spared. The big rise in corporate borrowing in recent years magnifi ed the Coronavirus impact be-cause companies entered the downturn with heavier debt loads. Since early March, about 30% of debt pack-aged into U.S. CLOs has been downgraded or placed on watch for possible down-grades, meaning it’s going to get a lot harder real soon for companies to borrow for new equipment or new facilities.

Th e shockwaves, the smoke from the underlying CLO fire, is drifting out over the markets right now. Investors are starting to run for the hills, dumping their CLO positions. We’ll see what happens through the summer – but the amount of shaky CLO leveraged debt is huge beyond belief. $1.3 trillion. A trillion is a thou-sand billion, and a billion is a thousand million. Stay tuned on this one, folks.

Th e Cochise County Board of Supervisors has received the resignation of County Administrator Ed Gilligan, who will leave in August after accepting a position within the Arizona Supreme Court.

Gilligan has been employed by Cochise County for seven years, and will have served more than three years as County Administrator when he leaves on August 28. He will be the Supreme Court’s Division Director of Adult Probation Services, following a previous 17-year probation career during which he held a variety of positions, including Chief Adult Probation Offi -cer for Cochise County.

“It has been my honor and privilege to work with you, and in moving your strate-gic goals forward we have accomplished a tremendous amount,” he told the Board of Supervisors at its regular meeting on June 23. “Th e professional team here at the County is as good as, if not better than, it’s ever been, and they are well equipped to keep providing exceptional service.”

Board chair Tom Borer said, “You will be sorely missed and I commend you for the work that you have done.”

Supervisor Ann English said she was unhappy to see Gilligan go, but understood his decision.

“We have seen such prog-ress through his leadership,” she said. “Ed has off ered us something so unique and he has been a warrior for our strategic plan.”

Supervisor Peggy Judd added, “I want to thank you for all that you have done; you have defi nitely moved us forward. You have given us guidance I believe has changed our organization.”

Cochise County provides regional leadership and ef-fective, high-quality services with personal and profes-sional integrity. Located in the southeast corner of Ari-zona, Cochise County has natural beauty, world fa-mous history, and a fascinat-ing culture. Covering 6,219 square miles, and with a population of approximately 130,000 people, the County provides vital services to the unincorporated areas of the region. It is home to a di-verse range of incorporated cities, including Sierra Vista, Bisbee, Benson, Douglas, Tombstone, Willcox, and Huachuca City. Visit www.cochise.az.gov for more in-formation.

By Bob Garver

Tom Hardy isn’t very con-vincing as Al Capone in “Ca-pone.” Granted, I’m not an expert on the real Capone, but I seriously doubt that he naturally acted like a terrible Tom Hardy performance or looked like he was wearing unconvincing makeup. Ear-lier this year I wrote about how the unconvincing CGI dog greatly detracted from “The Call of the Wild.” In that case, the fake-looking main character made a good movie bad. In this case, the fake-looking main character makes a bad movie worse. It’s not like this movie was on track to be decent anyway, but the everything about the character at its center makes it downright painful.

The film follows notori-ous mob boss Alphonse “Al” (though he’s called “Fons” throughout the film by his friends and family) Capone through the last year of his

life. The gangster famously went to prison on tax evasion charges, but he’s been released to live in his Florida mansion with his wife Mae (Linda Cardellini, respectable ex-cept for a fantasy sequence). He should be happy to be living in luxury surrounded by family, but he’s miserable that he’s losing his grip on his kingdom, not to men-tion reality. He confides in his buddy Johnny (Matt Dillon, introduced in a sex scene that is not only gratu-itous, but illogical) that he hid $10 million somewhere - money he could use to pay off his debts so his man-sion doesn’t have to be sold off piece by piece – but he can’t remember where. Ev-erybody wants to find this money first, from his fam-ily to his doctor (Kyle Ma-cLachlan) to the FBI, but nobody’s finding anything unless Fons can navigate his syphilis-afflicted mind and come up with the location himself.

Capone’s life is riddled with problems that aren’t going to go away. There’s his financial woes and his worsening mental state, there’s also an issue with

an illegitimate son, scrutiny from the FBI, dissention (or at least perceived dis-sention) within his family and staff, an alligator that steals away his fish, and the fact that his body is betray-ing him in the form of a stroke and incontinence (oh so much incontinence). He also has hallucinations and nightmares, which are lit-tle more than an excuse to have something interesting happen in this film. These dreams usually consist of him trying to connect with his es-tranged son and stumbling onto something unpleasant, including one of the bloodi-est scenes in recent memory.

Most of the film, however, is Capone just being Capone, going about his life. And what an unwatchable life he leads. I’ve already touched on his unnatural appearance, but even worse than that is the way he sounds. His voice – much like his face – is no-ticeably not something that emits from a normal human, at least not one that isn’t voic-ing a cartoon character. His health has reduced his speech to little more than grunts and garbles, and even those are obstructed by an ever-present

cigar. The doctor at one point tells him he has to give he has to give up the cigars to my momentary gratitude, only to suggest that they be replaced with carrots, which make him similarly incomprehensible and add a gross element of food-chomping. And I get the feeling that Tom Hardy is laughing through all this, pleased in his ability to an-noy me so thoroughly.

“Capone” is the worst movie I’ve seen all year. I’ve lost a lot of respect for Tom Hardy, thinking this per-formance was passable. The same goes for writer-director Josh Trank, though I will say that even this is better than that awful “Fantastic Four” movie that even he hates. Even with this era’s limited entertainment options, I’m sure you can find some-thing better than this.

“Capone” is available On Demand through streaming services and likely through your local cable provider. The film is rated R for strong/bloody violence, per-vasive language and some sexuality. Its running time is 103 minutes. Contact Bob Garver at [email protected].

AZGFD’s live-streaming camera spotlights fascinating

nighttime critters

The chattery, fuzzy, winged creatures of the night are once again the stars of the Arizona Game and Fish Department’s (AZGFD) live-streaming wildlife cameras.

AZGFD installed the bat roost camera in 2018, giving wildlife enthusiasts through-out the world the chance to watch migratory Yuma myo-tis bats and other bat species while they roost at the Cluff Ranch Wildlife Area near Safford, in southeastern Ari-zona.

“Bats are truly amazing animals,” said Jeff Meyers,

watchable wildlife program manager. “In Arizona, we have a wonderful diversity of bats that perform pretty much all the same tasks that birds do. Some — such as the lesser long-nosed and Mexican long-tongued bats — drink nectar, while others are voracious insect predators, consuming up to 1,000 mosquito-sized insects an hour. We’re really excited to offer this fascinating, real-time glimpse into an active bat roost.”

The best opportunity to view the animals is from about 8 to 10 p.m. As temperatures rise through-out the summer, the bats will

move to being more visible in the morning hours until about 10 a.m.

Bats were first observed in an old barn located on the Cluff Ranch property in 1992. It soon was discovered that at least one species was using the barn to birth and raise its young. While it does not appear to serve as an ac-tive nursery site now, today it is used by pallid bats, can-yon bats, Mexican free-tailed bats, cave myotis and Yuma myotis.

In keeping with AZGFD’s mission to “conserve and pro-tect” wildlife, the barn was set aside for the bats’ use, and disturbances are kept to a minimum to ensure their safety and continued use of the building.

“One of our goals at

AZGFD is to connect and engage the public with their wildlife,” Meyers said. “Live-streaming wildlife cameras are just one more tool to do just that.”

AZGFD biologists regu-larly monitor the bat cam and study these fascinating mammals throughout the summer and early fall.

The bat cam is just one of five seasonal live-streaming cameras run by AZGFD. The popular sandhill crane cam shows thousands of the migra-tory birds wintering in southern Arizona, while the desert pupfish cam of-fers a live view of the small fish’s daily life.

To view the cams, visit www.azgfd.com/wildlife/viewing/webcamlist/.

The Bats are Back!

FIRE from Pg. 1“All of these fires could

have easily been prevented by paying attention to your sur-roundings, the weather, and fire restrictions. Fire crews are over extended and fire managers are competing for ground and air resources. We are throwing every available resource at these fires, yet upon ignition, fires are show-ing signs of extreme behavior. They are burning fast and hot through retardant lines and making containment efforts challenging. It is extremely important that people help us out by doing their part,” said John Truett, DFFM Fire Management Officer.

DFFM asks Arizonans to do their part by never burning on windy days or using equip-ment that may throw sparks. If you must work outdoors, do so in the early morning or early evening hours when temperatures are cooler.

Before getting on the road,

check to ensure tow chains are secure and your car is in proper working order. Fires can start by overheating vehicles, blown tires, and drivers pulling off into tall grasses. Residents need to create defensible space around their property and establish a buffer zone be-tween the home and poten-tial wildfire.

Stage II fire restrictions are in place across Arizona; on both federal and state lands. Under Stage II, camp-fires are prohibited. Target shooting and fireworks are never allowed on state land at any time of the year.

For wildfire and preven-tion information, download DFFM’s mobile phone ap-plication by searching the Arizona Department of For-estry and Fire Management in the iTunes and Google Play stores. Fire restriction information can be found at https://firerestrictions.us/.
