Office of AZ Gov. Doug Ducey

Governor Doug Ducey announced Tuesday that the Stay At Home order in Ari-zona will be ending on May 15 and replaced by new guid-ance for the next stage of economic recovery. The new guidance aligns with gating criteria issued by the White House and Centers For Dis-ease Control and Prevention (CDC) and aims to mitigate the risk of COVID-19 re-surgence, protect vulnerable populations, and guide the reopening of businesses with enhanced physical distancing and safety measures in place.

Arizona’s new Executive

Order, which takes effect on Saturday, May 16, builds on Arizona’s comprehensive ef-forts to slow the spread of COVID-19 and protect pub-lic health, including: ramp-ing up testing availability and frequency; implementing tracking of key health metrics such as reported symptomatic cases and emergency room usage; standing up surge hos-pital capacity to be used as needed; expanding statewide contact tracing; bolstering supply chains for personal protective equipment for frontline medical workers and emergency respond-ers; implementing enhanced safety protocols to protect those living and working in

high-risk facilities such as nursing homes; and provid-ing public health guidance for businesses and individuals to ensure continued physical distancing.

“Since the start of this pan-demic, Arizona has taken a calm and steady approach to protecting health and slow-ing the spread of COVID-19,” said Governor Ducey. “Today, our hospitals have capacity to provide care to those who need it; our busi-nesses are implementing and adapting to new physical dis-tancing measures; and data shows Arizona is headed in the right direction. It is time to move forward with the next steps of Arizona’s

economic recovery — while continuing to make health and safety our number one priority. I’m grateful to all Arizonans for their partner-ship and cooperation dur-ing these trying times. By continuing to follow the data and recommendations of public health officials, we can continue to move for-ward safely and responsibly together.”

Governor Ducey also an-nounced today an accelerat-ed plan to test all staff and residents of long-term care facilities as well as individ-uals within Arizona’s pris-ons. As part of this plan, the Arizona Department of Health Services will part-

ner with private-sector labs to expand testing to 147 long-term care facilities and provide antibody tests for correctional officers. Addi-tionally, major league sports can resume limited reopen-ing, without fans, this Sat-urday, May 16.

The Arizona Department of Health Services also re-leased additional guidance for businesses and customers as more industries resume partial operations. This guid-ance includes:

•Pools, with physical dis-tancing and enhanced sani-tation - were able to re-open Wednesday, May 13.

•Gyms & Fitness Provid-ers, with physical distanc-

ing and enhanced sanita-tion - were able to re-open Wednesday, May 13.

•Spas, with physical dis-tancing and enhanced sani-tation - were able to re-open Wednesday, May 13.

While never formally closed, many Places of Wor-ship opted to temporarily change or suspend services in order to follow physical dis-tancing guidelines. As they resume operations, the Ari-zona Department of Health Services released guidance for enhanced physical distancing and safety precautions.

Department of Forestry and Fire Management

As of May 12, 2020, the Arizona Department of Forestry and Fire Manage-ment, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the Bureau of Reclamation (BOR) implemented Stage

2 fire restrictions. Fire re-strictions are a tool many agencies use to restrict ac-tivities known to be the most common causes of wildfires. Continued dry conditions and an in-crease in wildfire activity throughout Arizona have led agencies to implement

fire restrictions. Preventing wildfires keeps communities and firefighters safe; reduc-ing their risk and exposure to injury, smoke, and dis-ease.

Once conditions improve, and the risk of wildfires has been reduced, fire re-strictions will be rescinded,

and all allowable activities will be permitted to con-tinue.

A violation of posted re-strictions could result in ci-tations, fines, jail time or reimbursement of the cost to put out the fire and re-habilitate the fire area.

Cochise County Sheriffs Office

On Tuesday May 12, 2020 at approximately 1:06 am, the Cochise County Sheriff’s Office was advised of a dis-turbance at a residence in the 3600 block of Robbs Road in Willcox near Kansas Settle-ment. The caller advised that

an acquaintance of hers ap-parently climbed into the crawl space of the home from the bathroom before crash-ing though the ceiling in the kitchen. The caller advised that the man ran from the home without clothing and into the desert.

Sheriff’s Deputies were re-sponding to the area and made contact with an injured male subject who was naked and lying on Kansas Settlement just north of Robbs Road. The man appeared to have serious trauma and stopped breathing while medics were enroute to the scene. The man was pronounced deceased at the scene and Westlawn Mortuary was contacted to transport the body to the medical examiners’ office in Tucson for the completion of an autopsy. The autopsy has since been completed and ad-ditional information will be released as it becomes avail-able.

Sheriff’s Detectives re-sponded to the incident and the initial investigation in-dicates that the 46 year old man appears to have walked to Kansas Settlement Road via Robbs Road before appar-ently being struck by a vehicle and left in the roadway. The vehicle has not been located at this time.

Next of kin has been noti-fied and the victim is identi-fied as 46 year old Joel Mat-thew Miller with a last know address in Willcox, however he is most recently listed as homeless.

The investigation is being continued by the Cochise County Sheriff’s Office and we are asking anyone with information regarding this incident to contact us at (520) 432-9502. Any information received may remain confi-dential.

With the City returning to normal as the Stay-In-Place orders are lifted, the City Council met at Schieffelin Hall on Tuesday May 12. The Mayor and Council members wore masks, and the audi-ence was seated spaced well apart. The Council Meeting followed a brief Marshal’s Report, with the news that Deputy Marshal Marcus Gerow was resigning as of Friday May 15. This leaves the Marshal’s department one position short, which will not be filled at this time due to budget con-straints.

Following the Marshal’s Report, the Council Meet-ing began with Duff Cham-bers of Healthy Tombstone as the only Call to the Public speaker. Chambers said that the Copper Queen Hospital Tombstone Rural Clinic will be open soon, waiting only for a state inspection. He also talked about the need to cre-ate a site for teenagers, and that the St. David ambulance

service needs help from the City to get a Certificate of Necessity.

Following that, the Mayor read a Fair Housing Procla-mation, later supported by a council vote adopting a City Fair Housing policy. Other new business items included approval of Accounts Pay-able at $494,948 for March 1 through April 30. Normal expenses, but at a time with almost no sales tax, bed tax, or Boothill income, the May-or is working daily with the Finance Manager to preserve every cent in the City’s bank account.

The Council also approved Historic Preservation Com-mission applications received during the shutdown, like signage for the new Vogan’s Alley Bistro. Next, the Coun-cil approved a liquor license application for Circle K, and then two liquor license ap-plications for Vogan’s Alley Bistro. The short 15-minute session then closed; with ev-eryone present glad to see a resumption of our normal public Council Meetings in historic Schieffelin Hall.

May 2020 Regular Council Meeting Tombstone Marshals Dep-uty Marcus Gerow will be leaving the Tombstone Mar-shals Office on May 15th. The Tombstone Marshals Office and City of Tomb-stone thanks Marcus for all his dedication and hard

work he has put in to serving the citizens of Tombstone! Marcus loves Tombstone so much he wants to stay on as a Reserve Deputy to serve the citizens on his off days. Thank you Marcus and good luck!

Farewell Marcus Gerow!

Office of AZ Gov. Doug Ducey

With Arizona food banks experiencing a spike in de-mand, Governor Doug Du-cey announced Wednesday a $500,000 grant from the AZ Coronavirus Relief Fund for Arizona food banks to help fight hunger. Member or-ganizations that are part of the Association of Arizona Food Banks/Arizona Food Bank, which is receiving the grant, supply a network of nearly 1,000 food pantries and organizations in all 15 counties in Arizona, some of which have experienced

a demand up to five times greater than usual due to COVID-19.

“We want to make sure nobody goes hungry as we respond to COVID-19 and get people back to work,” said Governor Ducey. “With these dollars, Arizona food pantries across the state will be able to make more food deliveries and help more families, while implementing new protocols that prioritize public health such as drive-thru pick-ups. This grant is made possible because of the generous donations to the AZ Coronavirus Relief Fund.

Th e Offi ce of Governor Doug Ducey Tuesday an-nounced that more than $8.2 million has been donated to the AZ Coronavirus Relief Fund to support COVID-19 relief eff orts. Th e fund was established as part of the Arizona Together Initiative, supporting Arizonans dur-ing the COVID-19 outbreak and connecting individuals and businesses to needed re-sources.

More than $175,000 of the total donation amount is from private citizens. Ad-ditionally, the Arizona De-partment of Health Services and the Arizona Department of Education have received in-kind donations of personal protective equipment (PPE) and computer equipment, to-taling more than $258,000.

How will these dollars support Coronavirus relief eff orts?

In April, the Ben and Catherine Ivy Foundation donated $5 million to support the purchase of PPE includ-ing 1.1 million N-95 masks. As the equipment is received, the Arizona Department of Health Services will distrib-ute it to county health de-partments across the state.

In addition, a fi rst round of

grant funding was approved to nonprofi t organizations totaling nearly $1,500,000. Grant announcements will be made as disbursements are fi nalized. The first round of funding will focus on the following eff orts:

Keeping students safe and on-track with learning, with a special emphasis on children of essential work-ers, first responders, fami-lies with limited income, foster children and chil-dren with special needs;

Preventing hunger and ensuring access to meals and adequate nutrition through food banks and local food pantries state-wide;

And providing services and care for senior citi-zens and other adults who need extended care at home, especially those with limit-ed incomes, to ensure that Arizona residents with special needs and their caregivers have continuity of care and support.

How are these dollars being allocated?

A five-member commit-tee was selected shortly after the fund was an-nounced in March. The AZ Coronavirus Relief

Fund committee members are:

Nicole Bidwill, Owner/Ex-ecutive, Arizona Cardinals

Tina Marie Tentori, Ex-ecutive Director, APS Foun-dation

Eileen Klein, former Ari-zona State Treasurer and former President, Arizona Board of Regents

Sandra Watson, President & CEO, Arizona Commerce Authority

Dan Mahoney, Partner, Snell & Wilmer

Over the past month, the committee has conducted de-tailed due diligence on hun-dreds of requests for funding. Opportunities for the fund to provide support have been evaluated on the basis of how an organization and its con-stituents have been impacted by COVID-19, numbers of the vulnerable population served and more. Nonprof-it organizations receiving funding must use the funds for direct services and may not use funds for operation-al overhead or management salaries.

Additionally, the commit-tee has coordinated with the philanthropic community in Arizona including the Ari-zona Grantmakers and the

Arizona Community Foun-dation to understand com-munity needs. Th e committee discusses each funding op-portunity until a unanimous agreement has been reached by all fi ve members.

Th e AZ Coronavirus Relief Fund is managed administra-tively by the Arizona Com-merce Authority (ACA). All dollars donated to the fund are going to causes and orga-nizations in need; the ACA is receiving no additional fund-ing to provide administrative support. Donations to the fund are fully tax-deduct-ible as they are used solely for charitable purposes.

Contributions to the AZ Coronavirus Relief Fund in-clude a $5 million gift from the Ben and Catherine Ivy Foundation; $1 million from Michael Bidwill, Chairman and President of the Arizona Cardinals; $1 million from Jerry Simms, owner of Turf Paradise Race Course; and contributions from Arizona Public Service (APS), South-west Gas, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona, Waymo, VanTrust Real Estate and Valley Toyota Dealers.

Individuals and organiza-tions interested in supporting the AZ Coronavirus Relief Fund can learn more about how to contribute at Arizo-naTogether.org.

Over $8 Million Donated For Coronavirus Relief Efforts

U.S. Border Patrol agents arrested a 55-year-old Mexi-can national smuggling 14 men, women and children in a pickup truck near Douglas, Arizona, Monday morning.

At approximately 7 a.m., a Tucson Sector agent conduct-ed an immigration inspection on the occupants of a Ford pickup traveling west on Geronimo Trail, just east of town. During the inspection, the agent observed people concealed behind the single cab pickup seat, prompting

the arrest of the vehicle’s oc-cupants.

15 individuals, including the driver and two accompa-nied children, were discov-ered throughout the pickup. Four were concealed behind the seat. Ten others were in the bed, hidden beneath a makeshift, plywood bed cov-er.

All 14 Mexican nationals and the lone Ecuadorian na-tional were arrested for being illegally present in the Unit-ed States. Th e driver remains

in custody, pending federal smuggling charges.

“Smugglers submit hu-man beings to unfathomable conditions,” said Tucson Sec-tor Chief Patrol Agent Roy Villareal. “To see people, including children, packed into trunks and covered truck beds is heartbreaking and es-pecially dangerous in this ex-cessive heat.”

Smugglers Subject Women and Children to Inhumane Conditions

PHOENIX - Attorney General Mark Brnovich announced today that the Ninth Circuit Court of Ap-peals denied a request for an injunction pending appeal in a case involving qualifi cation of initiatives for the ballot. Th is is another victory for the State of Arizona and ballot integrity. Although the Arizona Constitution has mandated for 108 years that signatures on initiative petitions must be signed in the presence of a circulator, the challengers sought to permit the use of electronic signatures.

Initiative proponents could begin gathering signatures to qualify for the 2020 bal-lot as early as November 3, 2018, providing them twenty months to obtain the requi-site signatures. However, the Plaintiff s did not begin col-lecting signatures until Oc-tober 4, 2019, and January 29, 2020.

Last month, the Plaintiff s (two committees proposing

initiatives relating to election procedures and healthcare, as well as a voter) fi led a law-suit in federal court to force the State to accept signatures collected through E-Qual, the State’s online petition system. The challengers also sought a preliminary injunction and temporary restraining order. In their complaint, the Plaintiff s only challenged Arizona statutes, and ignored the fact that Arizona’s Consti-tution has, since statehood, mandated in-person execu-tion of signatures — a requirement that an ex-change of binary bits be-tween a person and a com-puter through the internet obviously cannot satisfy.

After the lawsuit was fi led, the Secretary of State stated she “wo[uldn]’t oppose the request made by these [plaintiff ] organizations.” As a result, the State was com-pelled to intervene through Attorney General Brnovich to defend the century-old

requirements of the Arizona Constitution and the statutes challenged by Plaintiff s.

“Special interests should not be able to use the pan-demic as an excuse to sweep away a century-old fixture of Arizona’s Constitution simply because others will not stand up in defense of it,” said Attorney General Mark Brnovich. “As Attor-ney General, I will enforce the law as it is and it is incumbent upon every other elected offi cial to do the same.”

Th e district court de-nied Plaintiff s’ request for injunctive relief on April 17, finding they failed to challenge the in-person re-quirement of the Arizona Constitution, thus failing to establish the redressability of their alleged injury. The district court explained that “the signature requirements Plaintiff s seek to displace have been a part of Arizo-na’s constitutional and elec-toral landscape for over a

century. These requirements refl ect a considered judg-ment, which has stood the test of time, about how best to prevent electoral fraud and promote civic engage-ment.” The court further explained that “a ‘reasonably diligent’ committee could have placed its initiative on the November 2020 ballot despite the Title 19 require-ments and the COVID-19 outbreak.”

Plaintiff s appealed to the Ninth Circuit on April 20th, and sought an emer-gency injunction pending appeal on April 22. The Secretary again indicated that she “did not oppose the narrow relief sought in the District Court by Plain-tiff s-Appellants.”

On Monday May 5th, the Ninth Circuit quickly denied Plaintiff s’ request for an injunction pending appeal. The Ninth Circuit concluded, once again, the Plaintiff s “having failed to challenge the Arizona con-stitutional requirement of in-person signatures cannot get the redress from the court they now seek by only chal-lenging the statute at issue.”

Do your part. Don’t let a wildfi re start. Th e public plays a valuable role in pre-venting wildfi res. On aver-age, human-caused wildfi res make up more than half of all wildfi re occurrences in Arizona annually. Always keep outdoor fi re safety in mind. Many of our wildfi res start from vehicle and equip-ment use as well as campfi res, or debris burning on private property. Follow all fi re re-strictions. Use spark arresters on small equipment. Secure tow chains and check the condition of tires and brakes. Never pull your vehicle off the road into dry vegetation.

Prepare your home for wildfi re. As we fi nd ourselves spending more time close to home, take the time to evalu-ate the risk around your home and prepare for wildfi res. Taking individual respon-sibility to reduce fl ammable materials around homes and communities before a fi re oc-curs can help keep property, the public, and fi refi ghters safe. Rake up dead leaves or needles, pull weeds and mow lawns, trim up your trees, and move anything that will burn away from your home. Creating a buff er between your home and trees, shrubs, undeveloped spaces or other wildland areas, is essential to improving your home’s chance of surviving a wild-fi re. Not only can this space help slow or stop the spread of wildfi re, it also provides a safe place for fi refi ghters to defend your home if condi-tions allow.

Fire restrictions vary by agency and jurisdiction. “Know before you go.” Con-tact your local land or fi re management agency or fi re department for more infor-mation. Learn more about current fi re restrictions and current fi re situations at https://wildlandfi re.az.gov .

FOOD from Pg. 1My thanks goes out to ev-

Th e Association of Ari-zona Food Banks/Arizona Food Bank Network is com-prised of fi ve regional food banks, including: St. Mary’s Food Bank Alliance, Desert Mission Food Bank, United Food Bank, Community Food Bank of Southern Ari-zona and Yuma Community Food Bank.

Th e food banks will use the funding to address the spike in demand, including: meet-ing the needs of individuals with disabilities; acquiring more packaging materials to deliver food; securing addi-

tional storage space; imple-menting further adaptations to promote physical distanc-ing among clients; coordinat-ing convenient drive-through food pick-ups; and more.

“Th ese unprecedented cir-cumstances have created an increased demand for our services to support Arizo-nans who are struggling to provide the most basic needs for their families,” said Angie Rodgers, President & CEO of the Arizona Food Bank Network. “Th is gift from the AZ Coronavirus Relief Fund will help to ensure small pan-tries in local communities stay open and ready for fami-lies in need during this time. We’re grateful for the support which will make a diff erence

in our capacity to serve across the state.”

“Our deepest thanks to Governor Ducey and every-one who donated or raised money for the Arizona Coro-navirus Relief Fund, making this gift to AzFBN possible. Th ese dollars will help small food pantries statewide as they work to help Arizonans struggling with hunger,” said Michael McDonald, Chair of the Board of Directors, Ari-zona Food Bank Network, and CEO, Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona. “Th ese charities are doing all they can to meet the increas-ing need, and this fi nancial help for them truly couldn’t have come at a better time.”

Th e AZ Coronavirus Re-

lief Fund was established by Governor Ducey as part of the Arizona Together Ini-tiative to provide fi nancial support to nonprofi t organi-zations serving Arizonans in need.

Th e AZ Coronavirus Relief Fund has collected more than $8.2 million to date. In April, the Ben and Catherine Ivy Foundation donated $5 mil-lion to support the purchase of PPE including 1.1 mil-lion N-95 masks. Additional grant announcements will be made as disbursements are fi nalized. Individuals and or-ganizations interested in sup-porting the AZ Coronavirus Relief Fund can learn more about how to contribute at ArizonaTogether.org.

Emily Elizabeth Dickin-son was an American poet. Dickinson was born in Am-herst, Massachusetts, into a prominent family with strong ties to its community. Af-ter studying at the Amherst Academy for seven years in her youth, she briefl y at-tended the Mount Holyoke Female Seminary before re-turning to her family’s house in Amherst.

Evidence suggests that Dickinson lived much of her life in isolation. Considered an eccentric by locals, she de-veloped a penchant for white clothing and was known for her reluctance to greet guests or, later in life, to even leave her bedroom. Dickinson never married, and most friendships between her and others depended entirely upon correspondence.

While Dickinson was a prolifi c poet, only 10 of her nearly 1,800 poems were published during her life-time. Th e poems published then were usually edited sig-nifi cantly to fi t conventional poetic rules. Her poems were unique to her era. Th ey con-tain short lines, typically lack titles, and often use slant rhyme as well as unconven-tional capitalization and

punctuation. Many of her poems deal with themes of death and immortality, two recurring topics in letters to her friends.

Although Dickinson’s ac-quaintances were likely aware of her writing, it was not un-til after her death in 1886—when Lavinia, Dickinson’s younger sister, discovered her cache of poems—that the breadth of her work became public. Her first collection of poetry was published in 1890 by personal acquaintances Th omas Wentworth Hig-ginson and Mabel Loomis Todd, though both heavily edited the content. A 1998 New York Times article re-vealed that of the many edits made to Dickinson’s work, the name “Susan” was of-ten deliberately removed. At least eleven of Dickinson’s poems were dedicated to sis-ter-in-law Susan Huntington Gilbert Dickinson, though all the dedications were oblit-erated, presumably by Todd. A complete, and mostly unal-tered, collection of her poetry became available for the fi rst time when scholar Th omas H. Johnson published Th e Poems of Emily Dickinson in 1955.

Continued from last weekProspecting thru all the

Western states, Cass adapted easily to the wild lifestyle of the mining camps.

In Telluride, he killed his fi rst man in an argument over a mining claim. Because he didn’t take kindly to being hanged, Cass decided that right then was an opportune time to go search for the Na-vajo Pishlaki.

It was in 1882 that Cass Hite walked into a Navajo camp in Kayenta and sat down by their fi re, thereby making himself their guest according to Navajo custom. Th e Indians took care of his horses and gave him a place to sleep.

Hite understood no Navajo and had to communicate with them by sign language. He was always looking for silver or asking about it, so they called him Pishlaki. Hite taught them to recognize the ores of gold, silver and cop-per.

After awhile, Hite left the Navajos and moved on up to the Uintah country. The Utes had told him about a cave of gold in that area, but he had no success.

He went back to the Na-vajos in 1883. Once there, he talked old Hoskininni into guiding him north in a search for gold and silver. Th ey went across the San Juan to the canyon where

the “Natural Bridges Monu-ment” is now. Leaving that canyon, they moved down the Colorado River. There they found a sand bar f leck-ed with gold.

Hite built a cabin, moved in, and mined the sand bar for years.

During and because of the 1898 gold rush he abandoned his cabin and moved down the Colorado to Tickaboo Creek. Hite became a her-mit, still searching for the fabulous Pishlaki.

He never found it, but he did become a colorful and Legendary Character of the Southwest.

He built himself another cabin near the mouth of Tickaboo Creek. This one he built of red rocks that were plentiful. His Navajo friends visited him frequently at Red Rock House until his death in 1912. Although Hite was the best friend that old Chief Hoskininni had among the white men, Cass was never told the secret location of the Navajo Pishlaki.

Later on Hoskininni-be-gay, son of old Hoskininni admitted that the Navajos used to mine almost pure silver ore and shape it into jewelry and ornaments. He explained that the white men would take it away from them if they knew about it.

Only seven men among the Navajo knew the secret location and Hoskininni was the last survivor of these. One of the seven, who knew

where the mine was located, tried to tell his son where the mine was as he was dy-ing. The son could not un-derstand all his fathers in-structions and though he searched for it many months he never found it. When old Chief Hoskininni died the secret was lost.

A great deal of silver is known to have been taken from the Navajo Pishlaki. Merrick found the lost silver mine, but he and Mitchell were killed before they could realize the riches of it. Cass Hite searched for it all his adult life, but died without ever seeing it, even though he was always on friendly terms with the Navajo. Sev-en Navajos knew where the rich deposit was located, but all of them died of old age without revealing the secret.

Hoskininni was the last of them.

At this writing the loca-tion of the mine has never been found. Hoskininni did not choose to pass on the secret and let it die with him. Only very little sil-ver has been mined by the Navajo since around 1900, logically indicating that their supply of silver van-ished with the passing of old Hoskininni.

Th us, today, the secret is lost even to the Navajo, but somewhere down in the Four Corners area there is a heap of rich, almost pure silver, possibly the richest deposit ever known!

HERE IS THE LATEST ON THE OPENING OF YOUR AMERICAN LEGON, ROY FOURR POST 24

Warm wind from the south, and a gentle rain of blossoms from my mesquite tree, falling, falling to make a lovely light-green carpet on the ground. Nature at work, pollen for the bees today, and seedpods coming soon to-morrow, to grow more mes-quite trees.

Drifting pale blossoms, and also perhaps a few drift-ing Covid-19 germs, impos-sible to see, yet so light they could probably be carried on the breeze forever. Th ey say we are at war with this new virus, but unlike the pilots of the Japanese planes over Pearl Harbor, it is not aim-ing at us. Uncaring, airborne, it just drifts until we inhale it, or touch a surface where it is landed and then touch our eyes or nose. And then, like everything else in nature, it works to replicate itself. Qui-etly, so quietly that many of us will never know it’s there, never develop symptoms, even as we unknowingly aff ect others. South Korea thought they had the coronavirus un-der control, but a 29-year-old guy went bar-hopping two weeks ago. He hit fi ve night-clubs and bars in Seoul’s par-ty district, and immediately infected more than 80 other people.

Infl uenza viruses fall into four distinct groups, and the one that zaps us worst is called Infl uenza A. You prob-ably heard about the H1N1 swine fl u, close relative to the 1918 Spanish fl u, with the last H1N1 pandemic back in 2009. Th e H in H1N1 stands for Hemagglutinin, and the N for Neuraminidase. H and N are protein spikes that act like a pirate boarding party. H grabs onto a cell like a grap-pling hook, plunging viral

particles into the cell. Once inside, the virus uses the cell’s energy to replicate itself thou-sands of times. Th en the N protein cuts them loose, and within a few hours, the vic-tim can release 500,000 virus particles into the air with ev-ery cough or sneeze. Th e virus also mutates rapidly, to avoid the body’s defenses against it. Th e 1968 Hong Kong fl u was an H3N2 variant. Luckily, not as lethal as the original 1918 H1N1, which killed 100 million people worldwide.

But it’s not all bad news. Th e most surprising feature of viruses is that they are a guiding force behind evolu-tion. If the infected person survives, we sometimes retain a portion of the viral material in our own genomes. Th e re-sult of ancient infections may be found in up to 8% of the human genome – the genes that control memory forma-tion, the immune system, and cognitive development. Genes that make us who we are.

Not that you want to catch it, hoping perhaps you might be protecting your great-great-grandchildren. Forget that. Because besides messing up your lungs, Covid-19 can also aff ect other parts of your body, like causing blood clots in your body’s main aortic ar-tery. Doctors are also seeing kidney failure, heart infl am-mation, and immune com-plications. Take away? Social distancing is the key. Th e whole enchilada. Particularly if you are older. If we just give others some space, we will live to see the mesquite seedpods fall later in the year, gathered from our streets and yards by spirit Apaches, to make nu-tritious bean paste before fall turns into winter.

By Bob Garver

Since last week I reviewed the most recent winner of the Oscar for Best Picture in “Parasite,” I thought it would be fun to this week take a look at the most recent win-ner of the Razzie for Worst Picture in “Cats.” Like many people, I knew this movie had the award in the bag from the moment I saw the first trailer last July. The trailer played on an IMAX screen, in a the-ater sold out for “The Lion King,” and I swear I could feel a chill from all the joy being immediately sucked out of the room. There on the screen were some of the most hideously-constructed CGI characters ever to vex the hu-man eye. The relatively stoic cats played by Judi Dench and Ian McKellen were bad enough, but the physically-active ones played by James Corden and Rebel Wilson were disturbing on many more levels thanks to their nause-atingly-rendered movements. The film was released in De-cember, and its special effects

were criticized so heavily that the existing prints had to be replaced with an “improved” version of the film two days later. The film bombed, of course, taking in only $27 million at the domestic box office, with much of the take attributed to people watch-ing the film ironically, daring themselves to experience the trainwreck and live to tell the tale. So what do I think of this movie that is by all con-ceivable standards high in the running for Worst Picture of All Time? I say it’s bad, but it could be worse.

The story follows the newly-abandoned Victoria (Razzie nominee Francesca Hayward) as she is taken in by the “Jellical” cats of Lon-don, particularly wannabe magician Mister Mistof-felees (Laurie Davidson), and interacts with their various eccentric personalities. The movie never makes it clear what a Jellical Cat is, exactly, but my guess is that it means cats that sing and dance and are basically humans with whiskers instead of anything resembling an actual cat. The Jellicals are all striving to be named Jellical Choice by leader Old Deuteronomy (Razzie nominee Dench), which means they’re allowed

to die and be born again. Contenders include taskmas-ter of weaker species Jenny-anydots (Razzie winner Wil-son), peacocking Rum Tug Tugger (Jason Derulo), food scavenger Bustopher Jones (Razzie winner Corden), disgraced outcast Grizabella (Jennifer Hudson), stage vet-eran Asparagus (McKellen), and the villainous Macavity (Idris Elba), who is trying to cheat to win with help from henchwoman Bombalurina (Taylor Swift).

Everything about the story is a big silly mess, but I can’t fault the movie too much for it since I know the whole thing is cribbed from the stage mu-sical by Andrew Lloyd Web-ber. I cannot extend the same forgiveness to the way this movie looks. Human faces are pasted unconvincingly onto slinky, fluffy bodies that I would never identify as cats save for the tails that are being shoved in my face by the gyrating cast at every opportunity. The limitations of stage costumes are one thing (though they do make emotional musical numbers like the standout “Memo-ries” hard to take seriously), but this film’s special effects team had the opportunity to create smooth, intricate char-

acter designs, and what we get is one abomination after another.

And yet, if you can get past the hideous character designs (which is impossible), the unfunny “comedy” (which is equally impossible), all the obnoxious Jellical stuff in the dialogue (which is also impossible), and the creepy pseudosexual danc-ing (which I haven’t men-tioned much, but is really impossible), “Cats” isn’t too bad of a movie. No mat-ter what went wrong in post-production, the musi-cal numbers clearly took talent and dedication, and the cast is admirably giv-ing this project their all. Give me a high-flying di-saster like this over a lazy effort like “A Madea Family Funeral” (which should have been named Worst Picture of 2019) any day. I recommend this movie as highly as I can recommend any undeniably bad movie.

“Cats” is available On Demand through streaming services and likely through your local cable company. The film is rated PG for some rude and suggestive humor. Its running time is 110 min-utes. Contact Bob Garver at [email protected].

Weekly Movie Review:

“Cats” GRADE: C

The Arizona Game and Fish Department (AZGFD) reminds the public to leave baby wildlife alone. As tem-peratures rise and days grow longer, newborns of many species of wildlife are begin-ning to explore the world around them.

AZGFD encourages people to resist the urge to help seemingly abandoned animals, including baby birds and young rabbits, as a par-ent is likely nearby and will return once humans have left the area.

“Picking up or ‘rescuing’ baby wildlife is often un-necessary and can have nega-tive consequences. While the intention is well-meaning,

the ‘rescue’ often results in a newborn or juvenile animal being taken from its parents, which are likely just out foraging for food and wa-ter,” said Stacey Sekscienski, wildlife education program manager. “This can often leave a parent searching for its young, and wildlife raised by humans is less likely to survive if released back into the wild.”

Once they’ve been removed from the wild, some species of baby animals, such as elk calves or deer fawns, may even have to be euthanized because they cannot be re-leased back into the wild due to disease concerns. In ad-dition, zoos and other wild-

life sanctuaries have limited space to hold them.

Each year, wildlife centers around the state are inun-dated with baby birds, rabbits and other wildlife that were unnecessarily taken from the wild.

The public should contact a licensed wildlife rehabilita-tor if they encounter an ani-mal that is clearly sick or in-jured with wounds or broken bones; is unresponsive or le-thargic; has been attacked by a cat or dog; or there is strong evidence that the mother is dead.

Young wildlife found in a yard or in the field is rarely abandoned. Typically, once the perceived predator (per-

haps a dog, cat, or person) leaves the area, one or both parents will return and con-tinue to care for the young.

Baby birds are the most common wildlife species en-countered by the public and removed from the wild. Ad-ditionally, eggs of ground-nesting birds like quail should be left in place when discovered.

“It’s reassuring to know our Arizona community is passionate about caring for wild animals, but most of-ten, the best thing anyone can do is just to leave baby wildlife alone,” Sekscienski said.

For more information on what to do if you encounter abandoned or injured wild-life, visit: www.azgfd.gov/ur-banrehab.

Attorney General Mark Brnovich announced Wednesday that the Arizona Supreme Court has ruled in his favor and denied relief in a lawsuit that challenged Ar-izona statutes and constitu-tional provisions that protect the integrity of the initiative process.

In a 6-1 decision, the Ari-zona Supreme Court accept-ed jurisdiction of the case but rejected Plaintiff s’ claims on the merits.

Plaintiff s (four special in-terest groups proposing ini-tiatives) fi led a lawsuit last month directly in the Ari-zona Supreme Court trying

to force the State to accept signatures online through E-Qual, the state’s online sig-nature-gathering platform, because of the COVID-19 health crisis. Plaintiff s chal-lenged Arizona statutes that precluded electronic signa-ture gathering but ignored a provision of Article IV of the Arizona Constitution, which clearly requires signatures on initiative petitions to be signed in the presence of a circulator.

“My job is to defend the law and I’m going to con-tinue doing so as long as I’m Attorney General,” said AG Brnovich. “A health crisis is

not an excuse to ignore the constitution.”

Additionally, the chal-lengers could have started collecting signatures in No-vember 2018 to qualify for the November 2020 ballot. Th is provided the challeng-ers 20 months to obtain the required signatures, but most of the Plaintiff s did not be-gin circulating petitions until February of this year.

Expanding access to E-Qual for the initiative pro-cess is up to Arizona vot-ers or policymakers. As the Arizona Supreme Court has previously explained, if this provision of the Constitution

becomes “too inconvenient for present-day operation, the remedy is to amend it—not to ignore it.” Western Devcor, Inc. v. City of Scottsdale, 168 Ariz. 426, 432 (1991).

Attorney General Brnov-ich intervened after the Sec-retary of State declined to defend the challenged laws. Th is is one of four times so far in 2020 where the Sec-retary has declined to de-fend Arizona’s election laws. Last week the Ninth Circuit denied a request for an in-junction pending appeal in a similar challenge filed in federal court. A federal dis-trict court had previously denied relief. Today’s deci-sion ends the lawsuit filed in state court. A full opinion will be released by the court at a later date.

FBI

Matthew Harrell appeared to be the owner of several mental health businesses that treated young people. But he wasn’t a mental health pro-vider; he was a youth football coach.

“He got kids’ informa-tion when they signed up for football camp and other af-ter-school activities he spon-sored,” said Special Agent Gregory Peacock, who in-vestigated this case out of the FBI’s Atlanta Field Offi ce. “He used that information to bill Medicaid for mental health services that were nev-er provided.”

Although he started in Georgia, Harrell, 44, even-tually expanded his business into Florida and Louisiana.

In Louisiana, Harrell bought a list of 13,000 sto-

len identities of children who were on Louisiana’s Medic-aid program. Harrell used the data to bilk Louisiana’s Medicaid program out of more than a half-million dol-lars in mental health services never provided.

He tried to make his com-panies look legitimate. Har-rell had offi ces and employ-ees, although those employees didn’t provide care—they simply engaged in fake bill-ing. Harrell even kept patient “charts” sitting on the shelf at his offi ces in case of an audit.

Harrell interviewed medi-cal providers for non-existent jobs, asking them to provide their credentials and Medic-aid provider numbers. Har-rell didn’t hire the providers, but he used their Medicaid billing numbers without their knowledge.

Neither the parents of the

children nor the providers knew Harrell was using their information fraudulently.

From 2012 through 2015, Harrell’s companies received about $2.5 million in reim-bursements—all of which were fraudulent.

Th e scheme was uncov-ered when Georgia Med-icaid fraud personnel made an unannounced site visit to one of Harrell’s companies. Th is evolved into a multi-agency investigation involv-ing the FBI, U.S. Depart-ment of Health and Human Services - Offi ce of Inspec-tor General, and Medicare fraud investigators from Georgia, Florida, and Loui-siana.

Th e partnership among the agencies was key to investi-gating and prosecuting the case.

“Every health care fraud

case we work, we work along-side these agencies,” Peacock said. “Our relationships are excellent, and it was ben-efi cial to have them working with us on this case.”

In December 2019, Harrell pleaded guilty to health care fraud and aggravated identity theft charges. In March 2020, he was sen-tenced to 11 years in pris-on. Two of the Georgia participants in the scheme were also convicted on similar federal charges. Another five were con-victed on state charges in Florida and Louisiana.

For the investigative team, taking down this ring of fraudsters sends an important message.

“Th ere is only so much money to go around, and this money was meant to be used for kids who re-ally need help,” Peacock said. “It’s a really important thing to be working on, and we take health care fraud very seriously.”
