'Snowbirds' Return To Whitewater A Sign Of The Seasons First, the sandhill cranes begin their journey, reminding us by their annual migration that summer is waning. Next, Mother Nature is ready to step in with wonderful weather in the Southwest, weather that welcomes great hunting and fishing opportunities. Then, soon after the autumn activities, thoughts turn to anticipation of holiday events such as the lighted boat parades in Arizona and California and, locally, to families and friends making...

Executive Order 14067 This is not what you might think. Look Closely Our Justice System Is At Serious Risk Every citizen of every country should be afraid for the future of their country when criminal illegal aliens are allowed, and encouraged, to vote in our elections. The first item listed on state and federal election rules about voting states that you must be a citizen. Pretty clear isn't it. Then why are federal judges interfering and allowing non-citizens to vote? Good question but the... Full story
Bison (aka buffalo) have long been an important resource for indigenous people. That truth is recognized in the herd management of the valuable animals that inhabit the Grand Canyon's North Rim. One hundred bison were successfully relocated last month and transferred to the Intertribal Buffalo Council. Since herb reduction began in 2018, 282 buffalo have been transferred to eight different American Indian tribes. The sharing of this resource is as it should be, contributing to both conservation...

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
I was going through some old stories today and ran across one of the stories we did on Nitro Chicken a number of years ago. We were fortunate enough to be a minor sponsor of Doug Verstuyft and Nitro Chicken. For several years we were at Firebird Lake where the Top Fuel Hydroplane races took place. Over the years we have attended numerous events. This was undoubtedly one of the most fun and exciting. Carol and I were both able to sit in the Nitro Chicken and when they close that canopy it is...

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. Our Job is not to convince those who "don't know" to change their minds. Our job is to convince those who "do know" to work harder to save our country, and all of the country's that rely on us, to... Full story
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 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

Note - You can tell by the reference to Biden being in office for two years that I wrote this some time ago.

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...

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. These cats live and lounge on three different three-and four-tiered cat houses brought in by caring members of the community. But when spooked, they disappear into their hiding places. It was just two years ago when VFW Post Auxiliary members, spearheaded by Senior Vice President Jim Allen, made it their mission to care for the growing cat... Full story
