In September 2017, it was announced by Arizona State Parks and Trails that letters, photographs and other docu-ments related to Wyatt Earp that have never been shown in public have been donated to Arizona State Parks and Trails and will be displayed at the Tombstone Courthouse Historic State Park.

Part of the collection was made viewable to the public at the beginning of the year. Not all of the documents will be at the Courthouse but

they will be on a rotating ba-sis throughout the year.

In September, a press re-lease from State Parks stated that the collection includes handwritten letters from Wy-att Earp’s wife, Josephine, to Earp and others; handwrit-ten notes by biographer John Flood from interviews with Earp; 50 pages of carbon copies of an early typed man-uscript of Earp’s biography, with edits; photos and nega-tives of Earp and Josephine as seniors and of Josephine’s return visit to Tombstone in the 1930s; and documents from Josephine’s last will and

from Earp’s “Happy Day” mine. The entire collection was generously donated by Eric and Nicole Weider.

Weider has been an avid Earp collector for a long time. He owns Weider His-tory Group, a magazine pub-lishing company headquar-tered in Leesburg, Virginia. It was founded in 2006 by Eric Weider. Weider is the son of fitness entrepreneur Ben Weider (and nephew of Joe Weider) and current President of Schiff Nutrition International. The Weider History Group operates His-toryNet.com, a website that

contains daily features, photo galleries, and articles pub-lished in various magazines. Weider and his wife Nicole currently reside in Los Ange-les, CA.

According to Larian Mo-tel owner Gordon Anderson, Eric Weider has been a long-time guest at his hotel and is one of Tombstone’s best friends and biggest support-ers. “I found out that origi-nally Weider was planning to send these documents to the Huntington Library in LA. I talked with Weider and told him that these documents belong in Tombstone. Weider

changed his mind and decid-ed to have them sent to the Courthouse working through Arizona State Parks,” said Anderson.

A lady’s pocket watch will also be on display with the other documents. The watch was found in a pawn shop in Texas by some frequent Tombstone Visitors. The watch has an engraving that states “To Josie, My Sweet-heart, 1926, From Wyatt”. So far, the watch does look to be authentic, however, further examination is being conducted.

The Tombstone Court-

house is open 7 days a week from 9:00am to 5:00pm and is located at 223 E Toughnut St. According to the Court-house staff, researches who wish to examine documents must call the Manager at the Courthouse at (520) 457- 3311 to make an appoint-ment.

Wyatt Earp moved to Tombstone in 1879 during the Silver Boom with his brothers. He and his brothers clashed with a group of out-laws called the Cowboys. The tensions culminated in the gunfight at the OK Corral on October 26, 1881.

On Tuesday evening, the Tombstone Historic Com-mission unanimously ap-proved a request by Ricky and Patricia Jones to oper-ate a new trolley, with a ticket booth located at 4th and Toughnut, in front of the City Library.

The Goodenough Mine and Trolley Tours vehicle seats 34, and is powered by an economical Cummins diesel. It is freshly painted in green and red, with gold trim. The trolley will be up and running by this week-end, and Jones plans to of-fer a discount package that includes the Goodenough Silver Mine tour.

Ricky and Patricia Jones are also the new owners of the Goodenough Mine Tour at 5th and Toughnut. Ricky and Patricia are from Birmingham, Ala-bama, where they own a large construction busi-ness with more than 50 employees. Ricky tells us how he started with work to fill in pipeline excava-

tions, then won contracts to do the digging as well. During a recent Alabama drought, he built a very effective large reservoir that helped Birmingham maintain the city water supply.

So, if you see the new trolley rolling around town, give a wave to our newest tourist conveyance!

New Trolley Tour Hits the Streets of Tombstone

On Thursday, January 11, 2018 Tombstone lost another great man, Joseph Leonard Pauli after losing his battle with cancer.

Joe was born on July 23, 1943 in Cleveland, Ohio. He spent six years in the Marines and drove for Mayflower Trucking Company. Joe was joint owner of C&J Painting and Repair in Sydney, OH.

Joe married Carol Ann Pauli on April 2, 1988. Joe and Carol met in Gilbert, AZ where they both lived at the time. They moved to Tomb-stone in 2005 and opened

Crazy Annie’s Bordello that sits on the corner of 10th and Allen Streets. He was a member of the Tombstone

American Legion and was also in the Boothill Gun-slingers gunfight group. Joe enjoyed spending time with his wife and friends, fishing and camping.

Joe is survived by his wife Carol Ann, two sons, David K and David (Barnyard), two grandsons, David K. and Zachary, four brothers and one sister. He was pre-ceded in death by two sisters and his parents.

A Walk Up will be held in honor of Joe on Sunday, January 28th at 12:00pm beginning at the City Park and ending at Crazy An-nie’s Bordello for a Celebra-tion of Life. Come share your memories, food will be provided.

“Hey, there goes Geronimo again. I wonder what they’re doing and how much this is costing the tax payers.” This is how a recent social media post read. Having already been asked by Sheriff Dan-nels to provide an annual report regarding the helicop-ter program, it seemed like a good opportunity to go ahead and address the questions posed above in case others in the community are inter-ested. As the commander of the Air Support Unit I’d like to offer answers and a general accounting for Geronimo’s activity.

The cost portion of the question has an easy answer. The helicopter, it’s fuel, the crews and any ancillary ex-penses are all paid for out of private grant funding. The grant funding and the aircraft management contract with Aerial Solutions II, LLC. are in place for a period of three years. The hangar facilities are shared with a national EMS helicopter operator via an intergovernmental agree-ment with the City of Sierra Vista. The commercial pilot staff, the mechanic and the EC130T2 helicopter, known

as “Geronimo”, are contract-ed for seven days per week service. The partnership be-tween the Cochise County Sheriff’s Office and Sierra Vista Police Department calls for one Deputy or Officer to be on call, seven days per week, to perform the duties of the Tactical Flight Officer (onboard Law Enforcement Officer). Overtime, equip-ment and standby pay for the Tactical Flight Officers is also paid for by the same pri-vate grant funding, at no cost to the tax payer.

The “I wonder what they’re doing” portion of the question requires a more in-depth an-swer, due to the spectrum of mission profiles that Geron-imo performs. As Geroni-mo’s primary mission is law enforcement, flight crews conduct directed and routine patrols. The patrol mission helps the law enforcement community by providing an aerial platform and perspec-tive for a variety of law en-forcement endeavors. The helicopter helps patrol the 6,219 square miles of urban and remote areas of Cochise County. Geronimo’s direct routing ability and its fast cruise speed of 146+ miles per hour significantly reduces re-sponse times to criminal, fire

and search and rescue calls for service. Getting eyes on scene quickly is an advantage to responding law enforce-ment officers, fire fighters and rescuers.

Being placed into service in April of 2017, the helicopter assisted in the apprehension/arrest of over 60 suspects. Crimes committed by these suspects ranged in sever-ity from theft to homicide and sexual assault. Local and Federal law enforcement agencies in the county call upon Geronimo to assist with area searches, roof checks, vehicle pursuits and tactical operations primarily. How-ever, the aircraft will respond to assist agencies as a backup unit or to provide other as-sistance as availability allows. Each patrol district in the county has remote areas that are not easily accessed via wheeled vehicle. Geronimo makes routine patrols of these areas to include the Huachuca and Chiricahua mountains to check remotely located trails, roads and homes. Ad-ditionally, the helicopter will conduct patrols of less populated communities like Portal, Bowie, San Simon, Cascabel and Parker Can-yon Lake. Geronimo pro-vides services not only to law enforcement agencies in the county, but also to fire and rescue agencies.

PHOENIX - Attorney General Mark Brnovich an-nounced Francisco Aguirre, the owner of Montecristo Properties, pleaded guilty to defrauding 40 families in a real estate scam. Aguirre pleaded guilty to one count of Fraudulent Schemes and Artifi ces, one count of Th eft, and two counts of Forgery. Under the plea agreement, Aguirre will spend 7.5 years in prison. He must also pay $2 million in full restitution to the victims.

From 2013 to 2015, Agu-irre defrauded families who wanted to buy homes. Th e families believed they were purchasing homes from Agu-irre and gave him a down payment. Th e victims also made monthly payments as mortgage payments only to fi nd out they never owned or had a title to the home.

Many of the families were forced to vacate the homes after they had already paid Aguirre thousands of dollars in what they believed were down payments and monthly mortgage payments. In some cases, Aguirre attempted to sell the same home twice to two separate victims.

Aguirre carried out his fraud scheme through his companies Montecristo Properties, LLC, Monte-cristo Property Investments, LLC, and San Marino Property Investments, LLC. Aguirre operated his busi-nesses out of a building called “Th e Offi ce Pile” in Phoenix, AZ.

Aguirre will be sentenced on February 12, 2018 at 8:30 am. Assistant At-torneys General Maura C. Quigley and Mary Harriss are prosecuting this case.

Owner of Real Estate Company Pleads Guilty to Defrauding AZ FamiliesBy Robert Carreira, Ph.D.

Chief Economist, Cochise College

According to recent U.S. Census Bureau data, Cochise County’s poverty rate over the fi ve-year period from 2012 through 2016 was 18.9 percent. Th at was higher than the statewide rate of 17.7 per-cent and the national rate of 15.1 percent during the same period.

Within Cochise County, poverty rates vary widely. Of the seven incorporated cities and towns, Huachuca City had the highest poverty rate over the fi ve-year period at 34.8 percent. Th at was fol-lowed by Douglas (33.9 per-cent), Bisbee (28.4 percent), Benson (24.8 percent), Tomb-stone (23.6 percent), and Willcox (20.6 percent). Sierra Vista had the lowest poverty rate in Cochise County from 2012 through 2016 at 14.9 percent—lower than both the state and national levels.

Th ree factors stand out as primary infl uences aff ect-ing whether one will live be-low the poverty line: family structure, age, and education. In Cochise County, families led by single moms are more than three times as likely to live in poverty as married-couple families with children. Single-mom families with small children (under 5 years

old) are nearly seven times as likely to be in poverty.

From 2012 through 2016, 46 percent of Cochise County households headed by single mothers lived in poverty. The situation is even worst for single-mother families with small children, 52.4 percent of whom lived in poverty. For married-couple families with children, the poverty rate in Cochise County is 13.9 percent; for married couples with small children it’s only 7.9 percent.

Countywide, 26.9 per-cent of all children live in poverty, compared to 25.3 percent statewide and 21.2 percent nationwide. The highest child poverty rate of Cochise County’s mu-nicipalities is Huachuca City at 44.5 percent. Douglas is second at 39.6 percent, fol-lowed by Bisbee (39.2 per-cent), Benson (38.6 percent), Tombstone (33.1 percent), and Willcox (31.2 percent). Sierra Vista has the lowest childhood poverty rate at 22.2 percent.

Sierra Vista is the only city to have a childhood poverty rate below the countywide rate. The other six mu-nicipalities (Benson, Bisbee, Douglas, Huachuca City, Tombstone, and Willcox) are above the countywide rate, which is pulled down consid-

erably by the low rate in Si-erra Vista—the county’s most populous city. Sierra Vista is also the only city in Cochise County with a childhood poverty rate below the state-wide average. Childhood poverty rates throughout the county are higher than na-tionally.

Due to social insurance programs such as Social Se-curity and Medicare, seniors tend to have lower poverty rates than the general popu-lation. In Cochise County, 11.6 percent of those ages 65 and up lived below the pov-erty line from 2012 through 2016. Th at was the lowest of all age groups. Th e county-wide senior poverty rate, however, was higher than statewide (8.9 percent) and nationwide (9.3 percent).

Of Cochise County’s mu-nicipalities, Douglas has the highest rate of seniors in pov-erty at 23.5 percent, followed by Tombstone (18.7 percent), Benson (16.7 percent), Bisbee (14.9 percent), Huachuca City (10.1 percent), and Will-cox (8.7 percent). Th e senior poverty rate is lowest in Sier-ra Vista, where only 6.9 per-cent of those ages 65 and over lived in poverty from 2012 through 2016.

Regarding education lev-els and poverty, the inverse relationship between the two

has been well documented over the years. Douglas has the second highest individ-ual poverty rate in Cochise County and the lowest share of the population with a high school diploma or higher (69.6 percent of the popula-tion ages 25 and over). Sierra Vista, which has the lowest poverty rate in the county, has the highest rate of high school graduates at 93.2 per-cent of the adult population 25 years old and up.

Douglas also has the low-est share of the population with a bachelor’s degree or higher at 8.4 percent while Sierra Vista has the highest (30.3 percent).

In a positive sign, Doug-las has the largest share of its population ages 25 years and up enrolled in college or graduate school at 30 per-cent. Sierra Vista has the sec-ond largest share of college or graduate school enrollees at 28.5 percent, followed by Huachuca City (28.1 per-cent), Benson (22.2 percent), Tombstone (20.8 percent), and Bisbee (9.6 percent). Th e lowest rate of college or graduate school enrollment is Willcox (7.5 percent).

County Poverty Rate Higher Than State and Nation

Special Districts through-out Cochise County are now being managed by the Clerk to the Board of Supervisors. Th e responsibility was previ-ously handled by the Elec-tions & Special Districts Department, which will now become the Elections Department.

In a move that falls in line with other county govern-ments, Board Clerk Arlethe Rios and her team will act as the resource for these or-ganizations.

“My offi ce has always han-dled the formation of Spe-cial Districts, and now we will handle the management

aspect as well.” explained Rios. “We are here to pro-vide guidance regarding rel-evant statutes, open meeting laws, and public records, as well as help in other areas. However, we are not here to enforce compliance or off er legal advice.”

Special Districts are lo-cally organized entities cre-ated by communities to meet a specifi c need. They exist independently of Cochise County, operate under their own administrative and fi-nancial powers, and their members are elected or ap-pointed.

Local districts include wa-

ter, fire, road improvements, sanitation, lighting, f lood-ing, libraries, and irrigation.

Th e move from the Elec-tions Department, which has been in the works for about a year, will improve effi ciency, said Elections Director Lisa Marra.

“Th e formation of Special Districts was with the Clerk to the Board already, so it makes logistical sense for the management and resource responsibility to be moved there also to streamline the process, rather than have two departments involved,” she said.

Th e election of Special

District members will con-tinue to be handled by the Elections Department.

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 famous history, and a fascinating cul-ture. Covering 6,219 square miles, and with a population of approximately 128,000 people, the County provides vital services to the unincor-porated areas of the region. It is home to a diverse range of incorporated cities, including Sierra Vista, Bisbee, Benson, Douglas, Tombstone, Will-cox, and Huachuca City. Visit www.cochise.az.gov for more information.

Th e Lincoln Futura is a concept car promoted by Ford’s Lincoln brand, de-signed by Ford’s lead stylists and hand-built by in Italy at a cost of $250,000 (equivalent to $2,300,000 in 2018).

Th e concept car was subse-quently sold to auto custom-izer George Barris. Having originally cost $250,000, the Futura was sold to Barris for $1.00 and “other valuable consideration” by Ford Mo-tor Company. As the car was never titled and was therefore uninsurable, it was parked behind Barris’ shop, sitting idle and deteriorating for sev-eral years.

In 1966, Barris was asked to design a theme car for

the Batman television series. Originally, auto stylist Dean Jeff ries was contracted to build the car for the show in late 1965, but when the studio wanted the car sooner than he could deliver, the project was given to Barris. With the short notice, Barris thought the Futura might work well, and using Jeff ries’s initial car, decided that its unusual winged shape would be an ideal starting point for the Batmobile. Barris hired Bill Cushenberry to modify the car’s metalwork. Barris went on to build three fi berglass replicas using the frames and running gear from 1966 Ford Galaxie cars for the show cir-cuit, three of which were cov-

ered with a felt-like fl ocking fi nish in the 1970s.

Barris retained owner-ship of the car, both after its conversion to the Bat-mobile, leasing it to the TV studio for filming and after production of the TV series ended, displayed in Barris’ own museum in California. It has also been displayed in the Cayman Motor Museum on Grand Cayman Island.

Barris sold the Batmobile to Rick Champagne at the Barrett-Jackson collector car auction on Saturday, Janu-ary 19, 2013 in Scottsdale, Arizona for $4.62 million dollars.

As of December 2017, ex-act replicas are being pro-duced by Fiberglass Freaks, a company in Logansport, Indiana. Th e owner of Fiber-glass Freaks has the license from DC Comics to produce the 1966 Batmobile Replicas. Th ese vehicles are full-scale, road ready versions.

Continued from last week

She was the mother of Ted Moore and she said that her son came home mortally wounded and made a dying statement that, “the Hal-derman brothers came to the doors shooting, killing Ainsworth first shot, then wounded him.”

J. N. Wilson, owner of the house where the shooting occurred, testifi ed that the lawmen called the broth-ers out, read the warrant to them, then gave them time to eat breakfast. He also said that the brothers came to the doors fired eight shots, kill-ing Ainsworth and wound-ing Moore, who returned fi re while retreating. Smith said he heard William say to Th omas, “we got one of the — — ——— and the other can’t go far. Dead men tell no tales.”

Mary Wilson, daughter of J.N. Wilson, corroborated the facts of the reading of the warrant and the arrest. She saw Thomas go to the side door and shout “Hands up!” and then the shoot-ing started; but she could not tell who was doing the shooting.

Th omas, under cross-ex-amination, testifi ed that he saw Moore raise his gun and fi re the first shot. At this, he had shouted, “Hold up!” not “Hands up!”

Under cross-examination, Mary was compelled to ad-mit that her father had told her to testify nothing favor-able to the Haldermans, and that if she was asked who fi red the first shot she was to say the prisoners did.

Rena Wilson, another daughter, testifi ed that she did not know who fired the fi rst shot. She did say she had heard Ted Moore and Wil-liam Halderman quarreling and that Moore threatened the life of Halderman.

William and Thomas Halderman were convicted of murder in the first de-gree for the shooting of Ted Moore and sentenced to hang. The execution date set by the court was 12:00 noon on Friday, August 10, 1900.

On July 27,1900, a plea for executive clemency was made. A number of affi da-vits were presented on which this plea for commutation was based.

A.G. Curry, a prominent cattle raiser, made an affi da-vit that stated that he found the public mind so infl amed that the brothers did not have a fair and impartial trial.

Harry Emmerson swore that he had a conversation with juror, John Raab, and that he had said that he and the other jurors had not un-derstood the court’s charge. Th ere had been no testi-mony to convict Thomas at all, but that the jurors had talked it over and agreed that they would hang them both.

S.A.D. Upton, defense lawyer, swore that James J. Riggs, a prominent cattle-man, came to him during the trial, and told him if the prisoners were acquit-ted they would not get 50 yards from the courthouse without being mobbed and lynched.

Buck Chandler made an affi davit that Ted Moore had told him that he was going to do the Halderman broth-ers up. He had said that he, Ted Moore, was going with the offi cer to make the arrest and that the county would never be put to any expense for the trial.

When the murder trial was on, Chandler was threatened and ordered to leave Arizona. He did leave, going back to

Gonzales County, Texas, but before he left he warned the Haldermans about Moore’s threat.

Jesse Billingsley made an affi davit concerning a con-versation that he had with Peter Haviland before the trial. Haviland, one of the venire, told Billingsley that he intended to get on that jury and that he would starve the jury until the Halder-mans were hung.

Mary and Rena Wilson made affi davits that on the evening after the shooting, they told their father that ei-ther Ainsworth or Moore had fi red the fi rst shot. Wilson had told them they must not testify to that eff ect or they would not have a friend in the county. He told them that he would testify that the fi rst shot came from the inside and that they must testify the same way.

George Bravin, deputy sheriff , made affi davit in re-gard to the Alvord, Stiles, Bravo John jail break and the conduct of the Haldermans at that time. Th ey were off ered an opportunity to escape, but refused and went to the aid of the painfully wounded Bravin. Author’s note “Th e Haldermans most likely re-fused to join the escape as it occurred on April 8, 1900. At that time all the evidence was circumstantial and although they had been convicted, there was an excellent chance of clemency. When they real-ized this was not to be, the opportunity to escape was gone.”

Sheriff Scott White also made affi davit noting the good conduct of the prison-ers and their actions during the jail break and he asked for commutation.

Marcus A. Smith made an impassioned plea asking for the pardon of Tom Halder-man, whom he claimed did not fi re a shot, and for the commutation of the sentence of William to life.

Even in the face of all the affi davits, Acting Governor Akers refused to commute the sentences but said:

“I have carefully considered the case; I have conscientious-ly scrutinized my powers and duty in connection to it and I have realized the tremendous responsibility I was under to these poor men and to the people of the territory.

I feel most deeply the grief and sorrow of these two men. My heart echoes all their an-guish and pain. I pity them, I grieve for them. But, it is not as a man I must act. I must act with the cold neutrality of a judge. Nor is it for me to go behind the conclusions al-ready arrived at by the proper judicial authorities. I must merely examine any newly discovered, newly arisen matter, which could not be brought before the courts. Taking this view of my duty, I cannot grant any pardon or commutation of sentence in the case of either of these men. Th e law must take it’s course.”

On August 2, 1900, only eight more days of life re-mained to the Haldermans. Judge Davis had set August 10 as the execution date and the death watch was set for the remaining eight days. Turner White, Ben Cook, and Wil-liam Johnson were assigned this unpleasant duty.

Th e prisoners made a state-ment for publication on Au-gust 7, 1900: “It is pretty hard,” said Th omas, the younger brother, speaking fi rst, “to read of the exagger-ated reports printed in some of the papers about us. We are referred to as most hardened criminals, when, as a fact, neither of us has ever been in trouble before.”

PHOENIX - Attorney General Mark Brnovich, Truckers Against Traffi ck-ing, the Arizona Trucking Association, Albertsons, and Help Inc., are proud to an-nounce a new partnership to help rescue victims of human traffi cking. More than 25,000 rescue stickers will be placed on semi-trucks throughout Arizona to encourage victims of human traffi cking to call or text for help. January is Human Traffi cking Preven-tion Month.

Th e window sticker states, “Do You Need Help?” and lists the National Human Traffi cking Hotline or victims can text “HELP” to 233-733 (Be Free). Th e Arizona At-torney General’s Offi ce will donate the funds to help pay for the rescue stickers that will be placed on more than 25,000 semi-trucks travel-ing across the state. Arizona companies involved in Truck-ers Against Traffi cking are: AIT Truck Driver Train-ing, Albertsons Companies, American Institute of Truck-ing, Diamondback Systems, Doudell Trucking, Diamond

Tank Lines, Empire Trans-port, Frontier Insurance Ad-justers, HDS Truck Driving Institute, INTL XS Program Managers, J&L Transpor-tation Inc., Knight Trans-portation, McKee Foods, McLane Foods Service, Minero Trucking, Phoe-nix Truck Driving Institute, Roehl Transport, Inc., SFS Trucking, Inc., Southwest Truck Driver Training, Swift Transportation, Transporta-ciones El Angel LLC, UPS, W.W.Williams Co., Werner Enterprises, Western Re-fi ning, Western Transport Logistics, Youngs Market Company, Yuma Truck Driv-ing School, and Z Trucking LLC.

“Our goal is to reach out to victims of human traffi ck-ing and hopefully give them the courage to call or text for help,” said Attorney General Mark Brnovich. “Truckers are on the front lines of this global epidemic. Th ey are our eyes and ears on Arizona highways and if just one res-cue sticker or observant driv-er helps save a life, then we’ve made a diff erence.”

Truckers Against Traf-fi cking partners with law en-forcement agencies across the country to train truckers to recognize and report instanc-es of human traffi cking. TAT also operates Th e Freedom Drivers Project, the fi rst-of-its-kind mobile exhibit, to help educate the public and members of the trucking in-dustry about the realities of human traffi cking and how the trucking industry is com-bating it.

“In order to eff ectively combat human traffi cking, each sector of society must play a part,” said Kylla Lanier, Deputy Director of Truckers Against Traffi cking. “At any given time there are more truck drivers out on the roads than there are law enforce-ment offi cers. Truck drivers are trained to be vigilant and along with truck stop em-ployees can fi nd themselves intersecting with victims of

human traffi cking. Th erefore, the trucking industry is criti-cal in this fi ght.”

“Our members have em-braced Truckers Against Traffi cking since its incep-tion,” said Arizona Trucking Association President and CEO Tony Bradley. “Th e partnership between law en-forcement and the trucking industry is critical to fi ghting these horrifi c crimes and we are honored to be a part of it.

In just the fi rst six months of 2017, the National Human Traffi cking Hotline received over 200 tips about human traffi cking incidents in Ari-zona. Th at’s more than 1 call per day in Arizona alone. Th e hotline received a total of more than 150,000 tips from across the country.

In 2015, Attorney Gen-eral Brnovich created a unit dedicated solely to combating sexual exploitation and hu-man traffi cking in Arizona. Attorneys have investigated more than 75 defendants with ties to sex traffi cking and cur-rently have approximately 30 open cases involving sexual exploitation of minors.

The Arizona Community Foundation’s online scholar-ship portal is now accepting applications, making schol-arship funding opportunities available to students across Arizona for the 2018-19 school year. This year, ACF is proud to announce a number of new scholarships to sup-port Arizona foster children, law enforcement families, and community minded students.

Arizona’s largest private provider of scholarship fund-ing, ACF provides access to more than 100 scholarship awards with a single online application. Completing one

general application automati-cally matches applicants with every scholarship opportu-nity within the system for which they qualify.

High school seniors, cur-rent college students and graduate-level students at-tending schools anywhere in the United States can apply. Scholarships are available for two-year and four-year colleges and universities as well as vocational and tech-nical schools. Application deadlines for scholarships vary, ranging from early spring to the end of May. Students are encouraged to

apply early to maximize their opportunities for the scholar-ship awards.

The awards available serve a diversity of students. Some scholarships are given based on merit or financial need, while others are awarded to students in a particu-lar geographic region or with specific demographic characteristics. Visit www.azfoundation.org/scholar-ships for the link to access over $1.5 million in schol-arship awards and to find out more about scholarships available through ACF.

Established in 1978, the

Arizona Community Foun-dation is a statewide family of charitable funds support-ed by thousands of Ari-zonans. With five regional offices serving communities across Arizona, ACF is among the top 35 commu-nity foundations in the na-tion with more than $900 million in trust and endow-ment assets, and is con-firmed in compliance with the National Standards for U.S. Community Founda-tions. Last year, ACF and its affiliates awarded more than $56 million in grants and scholarship funding to some 3,000 nonprofit or-ganizations, schools and government agencies. More information is available at www.azfoundation.org.

GERONIMO from Pg. 1During the 2017 fire sea-

son, 28.1 hours were flown in support of local and federal fire agencies. These missions included flying fire officials over various wild land fires that occurred in the county. These missions aided fire commanders in planning tactics and deploying their resources. Additionally, Geronimo was sent on mis-sions to resolve communica-tions and logistics issues, in support of firefighting per-sonnel. Assisting in evacu-ation planning and analysis were not the only areas in which Geronimo assisted in life saving.

Seven people were rescued with the assistance of the helicopter in the 23.8 hours flown on search and rescue missions last year. Although Geronimo is not equipped to perform technical rescues in the way AZDPS and Pima County do, the helicopter has been instrumental in locating victims and transporting a few with non-serious injuries to nearby emergency medi-cal personnel. Geronimo has also transported rescuers closer to victims, shorten-ing rescue times. It should be noted that these rescue efforts are not confined to people. In August, after lo-cating and extracting a resi-dent from a flooded area in Cross Creek (adjacent to the Chiricahua mountains), ap-proximately 1,000 pounds of feed were transported by air. This event may’ve saved the lives of animals and humans alike, as localized flooding would not permit access via ground.

Geronimo is not only a law enforcement, firefight-

ing and search and rescue ve-hicle. It is also a platform for community outreach. The aircraft participates in com-munity events like National Night Out, organized ath-letic contests and the Young Eagles aviation events, to name a few. Appearing at these events provides an op-portunity for flight crews to interact directly with the community and to advance our mission of education, prevention and enforcement. These outreach opportunities provide answers and insights for those with an interest in the aviation program and the Sheriff’s Office.

It is the policy of the Sher-iff and Sheriff’s Office to be transparent and accountable. Being committed to this prin-ciple, we spend a significant amount of time responding to public records requests and telephonic inquiries, relative to the helicopter program. Most of these inquiries are from bloggers and activists. There are also a number of questions posed by citizens in the community who are just curious about operations. Most of the questions are rel-ative to cost, aircraft specifi-cations and the safety of the program. In the interest of transparency and respon-siveness to the community, I’ve taken the opportunity to speak with some of these folks personally.

Generally, we discuss costs and the capabilities of Geron-imo. Often times there are questions over safety and li-ability. When asked how we are keeping helicopter operations safe, I first point out that the four pilots who fly the aircraft (two primaries and two back up) have com-

bined flight time experience in excess of 43,000 hours. The group’s experience includes law enforcement, firefighting, rescue, EMS, and other com-mercial activities. Two of the pilots are flight instructors, three of them have instru-ment ratings, three of them are current or prior sworn law enforcement and all of them have been thoroughly vetted. There are other components of the program that contrib-ute to safety. For instance, our policy calls for Geronimo to fly only during daylight hours and with strict adher-ence to FAA weather regula-tions. Missions are limited to industry standard flight operations rather than those with higher risk exposure. Although all of our pilots are experienced and skilled in other f light profiles, like one skid landings, we con-fine operations to two full skids down landings.

Safety is enhanced with liability being reduced sig-nificantly due to the prac-tices of the aircraft man-agement company, Aerial Solutions II, LLC. The company not only provides us with a newer (2014 model EC130T2) and more pow-erful aircraft than in times past, they also provide state of the art, full touch down auto-rotation training, to the pilot staff on an annual basis. This training comes at a considerable expense which is paid for by Aerial Solutions. The training is conducted by EuroSafety, an internationally recognized company who re-certifies pi-lots in the practice of landing a helicopter, without engine power. This is accomplished by rolling the aircraft engine

to idle to simulate an engine failure, and having the pilots use air speed and rotor inertia to successfully land the heli-copter. This training is highly desired by insurance carriers and may be the reason why Aerial Solutions qualified for and obtained $20,000,000.00 in liability coverage. This coverage includes Cochise County as well as the City of Sierra Vista, and is double the amount that Aerial Solutions is contractually obligated to provide.

I look forward to writing about where Geronimo crews have been and where they went next year. In the mean-time, Sheriff Mark Dannels would like to thank the com-munity for their continued support of this program. We hope that you find the infor-mation provided here to be interesting and useful. Should you have questions about matters of safety, lia-bility or operations, I invite you to contact me directly at (520) 432-9506.

TUCSON, Ariz. – Cus-toms and Border Protection officers at Arizona’s Port of Nogales apprehended a 20-year-old Nogales, Ariz. man involved in a failed attempt to smuggle nearly half a pound of methamphetamine as well as 100 capsules of tramadol on Monday.

Officers working at the Morley Pedestrian crossing referred the man for second-ary inspection when he at-tempted to enter the United States. During the inspec-tion, a CBP canine alerted to a scent it is trained to detect,

which led to the discovery of a package of meth, worth nearly $1,200. In addition, the man had a second bag, which contained 100 capsules of tramadol.

Officers arrested the sub-ject for narcotics smuggling, and seized the drugs before turning him over to U.S. Im-migration and Customs En-forcement’s Homeland Secu-rity Investigations.

Federal law allows offi-cers to charge individuals by complaint, a method that al-lows for filing of charges for criminal activity without in-

ferring guilt. An individual is presumed innocent unless and until competent evidence is presented to a jury that es-tablishes guilt beyond a rea-sonable doubt.

CBP’s Office of Field Operations is the primary organization within Home-land Security tasked with an anti-terrorism mission at our nation’s ports. CBP officers screen all people, vehicles and goods entering the Unit-ed States while facilitating the flow of legitimate trade and travel. Their mission also includes carrying out border-

related duties, including nar-cotics interdiction, enforcing immigration and trade laws, and protecting the nation’s food supply and agriculture industry from pests and dis-eases.

U.S. Customs and Bor-der Protection is the unified border agency within the Department of Homeland Security charged with man-agement, control and protec-tion of our nation’s borders at and between official ports of entry. CBP’s mission includes keeping terrorists and terror-ist weapons out of the coun-try while enforcing hundreds of U.S. laws. Follow us on Twitter @CBPArizona.

Nogales Customs Officers Nab Meth/Pills from Smuggler

WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Representative Martha McSally’s bill to address over $580 million in backlogged National Park maintenance projects Wednesday passed out of the House Natural Resources Committee with bipartisan support. The 21st Century Conservation Ser-vice Corps Act will enable federal agencies, like the Na-tional Park Service (NPS), to partner with national service corps organizations in order to complete projects faster and more efficiently—at no additional cost to taxpayers.

“This staggering backlog in park maintenance projects hampers Arizonans’ ability to fully enjoy and access the natural beauty of our state,” said Congresswoman Mc-Sally. “My bipartisan bill

leverages existing resources in a smarter way to get these delayed and deferred mainte-nance projects moving. It also expands opportunities for youth and veterans who need service hours to volunteer to help our parks. This bill is a win for everyone—taxpayers, national park users, veterans, and even inner-city youth. I’m thankful for the Com-mittee’s support of my bill and I will continue to shep-herd this legislation through until it is public law.”

“I applaud the House Com-mittee on Natural Resources for passing our 21CSC Act, which would create more op-portunities for Americans to serve. In Arizona and across the country, our national parks and public lands are in need of help as a back-

log of critical projects grows. Our legislation would enable young people and transition-ing veterans to serve their communities by enhancing our national parks and pub-lic lands, while spending no additional taxpayer dollars. I urge my colleagues in the Senate to follow the House’s lead by taking up and pass-ing this important legisla-tion,” said Senator McCain, who introduced a companion bill in the Senate.

The 21st Century Service Corps was initially created as part of President Obama’s America’s Great Outdoors Initiative. The Department of Interior and the U.S. For-est Service established coop-erative public-private part-nership programs throughout the country. Volunteers com-

pleted a range of necessary and helpful projects, every-thing from trail maintenance to historic preservation to forest regeneration to front-line services for visitors.

A recent report showed that public-private partner-ships saved the National Park Service more than $50,000 per project on average, with one project achieving savings of over $220,000. Congresswom-an McSally’s legislation codifies the 21st Cen-tury Conservation Service Corps program in law and increases the number of Federal agencies authorized to enter into these cost-sav-ing cooperative agreements.

The Natural Resources Committee unanimously passed the legislation out of the committee. It will next be evaluated on the House floor.
