  • Independence Day 2024

    Jim Allen, Publisher|Jul 1, 2024

    Intelligence allows you to learn from your mistakes. Wisdom allows you to learn from other peoples mistakes. Wisdom generally only comes with age. In the 70's I made one of the largest mistakes I have ever made in judging a political figure. Because I had unknowingly listened to some bad information I made a judgment about a key political figure. Over the years when the subject came up I stuck to my opinion, wrong though it was. Many years later I took the time to listen to someone whose... Full story

  • Voting

    Jim Allen, Publisher|Jun 1, 2024

    I keep receiving unsolicited information telling me about letting illegals vote. Has this country and "We The People" really become this jaded by our politicians that we will even consider letting this happen? There are so many things wrong with this concept that it is hard to find a starting point. This is one of the first things that comes to my mind. Being a veteran, and knowing many veterans, it is hard to wrap my head around the thought that when so many fought and died to preserve our... Full story

  • Bella Boo And Mr. Goldwater

    Jim Allen|May 1, 2024

    We published the below in April of 2020 https://www.azbw.com/vfw-cat-rescue/ Number Nine – Bella Boo is looking for a home. April 15, 2020 – She found her forever home today. Not the one we had hoped for her. Life is hard on the streets. Attack, accident, fight or automobile? We don't know. Her doctor said her injuries were too extensive and the chance of recovery was not good. Bella was a special kitty. This picture was taken shortly after her surgery. The real Bella is a very vibrant and lov... Full story

  • Big Tony

    Jim Allen, Publisher|Apr 1, 2024

    Big Tony is a success story. We have had a number of these stories since we began the VFW 3513 Alley Cat Rescue several years ago. Unfortunately, these success stories don't make it any easier to remember the kitties who were not so lucky. This has definitely been a learning process. Starting out I was naive and hopeful of making all of their lives easier and better. Reality soon took over. It is a monumental task. And, the odds against saving them all is unrealistic. Still we persist and take... Full story

  • Mobile Device Controller

  • Save Spring Headaches

    Note - You can tell by the reference to Biden being in office for two years that I wrote this some time ago. However, can't you see how much worse things have gotten in that short time with the Biden Regime in power? Contributing our energy, money and time is our contribution to the Victory Garden effort of World War II. World War II - A time when the whole nation came together to fight our enemies. It is that time now. If you believe strongly in our Constitution (as it was written by brilliant... Full story

  • Summer Fun In The Pinaleno Mountains

    Margie Anderson, Outdoors Editor|Aug 1, 2023

    If you're looking for a cool getaway in Arizona that is a bit off the beaten path (and therefore not quite so packed with human beings), you should give the Pinaleno Mountains a try. There are lots of excellent hiking trails, a lake to fish in, and plenty of good campgrounds whether you favor a tent or an RV. The tallest peak is over 10,000 feet, and you may be familiar with the name – Mt. Graham: the mountain with the famous protected red squirrels. The Pinalenos are one of the "sky islands i... Full story

    In Scottsdale,Ariz., just south of Thomas Road, there resides a community of cats tucked away in the back parking lot and alleyway of the VFW Post 3513.

    Carol L Allen|Feb 1, 2022

    Icy Cold Was the Summer is Carol Lemon Allen's first mystery novella; it was recognized at the 35th annual Local Authors Exhibit of the San Diego Public Library. Just before Jim and I left Phoenix, Arizona, for our month-long trip to the United Kingdom, I received a letter from some old Canadian friends--the Cramptons. The Cramptons had been a young, childless couple we had known in Calgary before they were moved by a communications system to London, England. They had been there for several... Full story
