TUBAC'S "HANDS OFF" RALLY !

Indivisible!

There was a huge turn out for the HANDS OFF rally in Tubac last Saturday.  Six local speakers who had personal experiences to share  gave informative speeches regarding  issues arising for Woman's Rights, LGBT Rights and the unfortunate way the President has shamed Veterans, and his lack of support for them with the recent firing of  staff at Veteran's Hospitals was discussed by a local Veteran.  Two community members  talked of life in Fascist Europe under  Soviet Control and how demeaning it was. It ended with a minute of silence for the Ukrainian People. Sheriff David Hathaway spoke about Proposition 314-for more information this was an interview he gave that expresses his views.

The Rally was locally organized, peaceful and open to everyone. Every City in America had participated.  Local people were gathered together in Tucson, Green Valley, Rio Rico, and Nogales all drawing big crowds. European cities also participated.

Elizabeth Gutfahr Trial is delayed...

A call to action NEIGHBORS !

BOARD OF SUPERVISORS URGES ACTION ON SENTENCING DELAYS IN GUTFAHR CASE


Nogales, Arizona – April 1, 2025 - The Santa Cruz County Board of Supervisors Released the Following Statement:

“It is with deep frustration and disappointment that we address the ongoing situation regarding Elizabeth Gutfahr, the former treasurer, and her theft of more than $38 million in public funds.

While we respect the criminal justice system and the right to due process, we are increasingly disappointed with the delays in sentencing. The legal process has been dragging on for far too long, and it is unacceptable that justice continues to be postponed. Our hardworking taxpayers, the victims of this crime, deserve swift and decisive action and closure in this portion of the reparations.

We urge the Department of Justice and the courts to expedite the sentencing process and hold this individual accountable without further hesitation. The people who rely on us for responsible leadership and transparency should not have to continue waiting for justice.


Those who feel impacted by this delay are invited to share their thoughts by emailing comments@santacruzcountyaz.gov, by April 27, 2025.  The public may also wish to contact the Department of Justice directly via their website at https://www.justice.gov/doj/webform/your-message-department-justice.

Your voices are essential, and we will ensure they are heard in the ongoing process.

The Santa Cruz County Board of Supervisors is committed to restoring the trust that has been damaged and to ensuring that this type of behavior is not tolerated.”

Note: Elizabeth Gutfahr’s sentencing hearing is scheduled for June 2025 in Pima County.  ##

Arizona is closer to its 1st urban national wildlife refuge

written by Sarah Lapidus of the Arizona Republic

                      See the Nature Section to sign the letter of support !



Southern Arizona residents, activists and organizations are teaming up with federal government officials to designate a portion of the Santa Cruz River as Arizona's first urban national wildlife refuge.

The federal designation would ensure the protection of the critical habitat for years into the future following its revitalization in recent years.


Prominent landowner Andrew Jackson, who possesses thousands of acres of critical habitat, is part of the effort. Following backlash last year in the town of Rio Rico for a rezoning request that residents feared would bring mining to their town, he began working with the Santa Cruz River Refuge coalition to help preserve some of his land that borders the river.


“It was kind of a call to action to put (the land) in the hands of somebody that can manage it and maintain that for a long time,” Jackson said, noting he's invested in regenerative farming practices and water conservation.


In September, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, in collaboration with the Santa Cruz River Refuge coalition developed a landscape conservation design to start the process of proposing an "urban partnership" program in Tucson, and the potential for a new national wildlife refuge along the Santa Cruz River.


The agency manages over 100 wildlife refuges across the state, within 25 miles of population centers of 250,000 people or more. Just one urban wildlife refuge currently exists in the Southwest, located in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The Santa Cruz River would be Arizona's first urban national wildlife refuge.


The Santa Cruz River Refuge coalition wants an “archipelago” of protected properties at risk of development along the Santa Cruz River, stretching from the U.S.-Mexico border to the northern edge of Pima County. Coalition members say this designation would offer permanent wildlife habitat, outdoor access, and ecotourism.

The protected area would include areas of upland Sonoran Desert scrub habitat, canyons that provide habitat connectivity, and nearly seven miles of riparian habitat approximately 40 miles south of Tucson.
