ARIVACA YESTERDAYSby Mary Noon Kasulaitis

APRIL 2012Vol 29 No 4

ConneCtion

Arivaca was an exciting place in 1917 and mostly because of its proximity to Mexico

There was bootlegging Nationwide prohibition hadnrsquot happened yet but an ordinance had been passed against bootlegging in Tucson and liquor was already being seen as detrimental to societyAs reported in a Tucson paper ldquoThere was a Fourth of July celebration at Arivaca last night but it was pulled off without the aid of CI Smith who is said to have labored for the success of previous celebrations Smithrsquos automobile was stopped on the road by Sheriff Miles last night and three pints of whisky taken from under the seat Celebrations at Arivaca in recent months have been attended by an amount of reckless enthusiasm all out of proportion to the climate the occasion and the disposition of the inhabitantshellipWisdom in worldly

things gave Mr Miles a hunch that a bootlegger was favoring Arivaca fiestas with his presence A deputy having failed to discover the secret cause of unrest on the border Mr Miles himself left for the front on Tuesday nighthellipSmith is a member of the well-known Smith family of Las Guijas the tungsten mines His brother Robert S is the alleged bootlegger now under bootlegging charges and out on bondhellipWhen the sheriff stopped his car Smith asked him what he was looking for ldquorsquoI have a six shooter herersquo he said suggesting that it might be firearms lsquoIrsquom looking for boozersquo replied Miles bluntly lsquoI ainrsquot got any of thatrsquo said Smith Under the seat cushions the sheriff found three pintsrdquo (Tucson Daily Citizen 751917) The ultimate outcome of this incident is unknownIn other law enforcement matters Sid Simpson was one of the most visible characters in the area Originally from Texas he was well known for having once been kidnapped by bandits in Mexico along with two other Americans

Pretending to go to Nogales to procure money to ransom the others he actually got a gun and shot Noriega the leader of the gang This heightened his reputation and was hired as a Deputy Sheriff in Santa Cruz County Later he was appointed County Ranger in Pima County to assist in the protection of cattle and horses in the region near the border Soon after he was hired as Pima County Deputy Sheriff In one of his exploits in this position he followed some thieves who had robbed the Jacome department store in Tucson He followed them into Mexico and pretended to have goods to sell He was guided to the men who had allegedly led the robbery Telling them stories and buying drinks all around Simpson verified who had done the deed He then kidnapped three of them and brought them to Nogales Arizona where they were arraigned (Tucson Daily Citizen 261917) His exciting life was not without penalty because in September of 1917 he was shot

by bootleggers in the face and left arm He recovered from this but resigned as deputy sheriff to take up a position as deputy livestock inspector working for ranchers in the Altar Valley From which position he retired in 1918 when a co-worker Cy Broome allegedly shot one Charles Yakimovich who owned a ranch near the Palo Alto Simpson stayed in the area until around 1920 when he apparently took his family and moved awayThe Mexican Revolution continued to affect Arizonans Pancho Villa and his troops had attacked Columbus NM on March 9 1916 this in addition to having attacked and killed American citizens in other incidents in northern Mexico US General John J Pershing was chosen by President Woodrow Wilson to lead the Punitive Expedition in retaliation against Villa into Mexico Pershing and his 10th Cavalry chased Villa from March 15 1916 to January 1917 when the American forces were withdrawn after a mostly

unsuccessful expeditionAn event near Ruby in early 1917 made the national news The Utah Cavalry had arrived in late 1916 as guardians of Arivaca and points south complete with a pack train of 60 mules These troops were part of the contingent of National Guardsmen called up by President Wilson in light of the Mexican Revolution and the troubles with Villa In late January of 1917 these troops were involved in a skirmish at the border near Casa Piedra (Stone House) in California Gulch This landmark is an old building about a thousand yards north of the border on elevated ground on the east side of the canyon Reportedly it

was originally a line camp for the Arivaca Land and Cattle Company Apparently Mexican troops had been stationed in the canyon below the border it being close to the American mining camps in the Gulch Warsaw Canyon and Ruby and a large population of Mexican expatriates who might be expected to join the revolution at any time One Lieutenant Reyes was reportedly in command According to various newspaper reports and letters cowboys for the Arivaca Land and Cattle Company were retrieving cattle from near the border when Mexican soldiers fired on them The cowboys were armed of course and they returned fire Troops F and E of the Utah Cavalry numbering about a hundred men under the command of Major Wallace Captain Bassett and

Lieutenant Arnes were stationed at Arivaca A unit of these troops was passing by Casa Piedra on a regular run and they were called upon to help More troops followed as the day progressed The Utah cavalry were stationed behind rocks about half way between the house and the fence from which point they returned fire Apparently the battle went on for more than a day One Mexican soldier was apparently killed one captured and the others fled The Star reported no casualties among the American soldiers The captured soldier was taken to the border and released on the Mexican side When the Mexicans evacuated their post a live calf with an American brand was found tied near one of the adobe houses and two hides one with Phil Clarkersquos brand and the other with the Arivaca Ranch brand were found Four rifles five saddles and three belts of ammunition were also found by American troops afterwards The houses were wrecked and burned The American soldiers went a mile and a half into Mexico One found a live chicken and another a pair of shoesrdquo Several of the locals including my grandfather had followed the cavalry down into the Gulch to watch the action staying well back on the hills and out of range Apparently the sight of soldiers coming out of the canyon carrying chickens was reportedly almost as exciting as the shooting itselfThe Star related the following incident ldquoCaptain St Clair an English mining man formerly of the English army wanted to go and talk to the Mexicans and settle the trouble when the first fighting took place He walked coolly up to the fence and leaned against the gate smoking calling on the Mexicans to come out and talk it over Suddenly the door of the adobe opened and several rifles cracked the bullets barely missing

the peacemaking EnglishmanldquoI thought my hour had comerdquo he said afterwards However several cowboys and soldiers came to his aid and covered his retreat with firing directed at the door of the adobe The captain retreated in dignity for a short distance and then went lsquodouble quickrsquordquoOn the Mexican side of the line some thought that the Mexicans were followers of Francisco Reyna a bandit but another bandit by the name of Salazar was also operating just south of the border Some 75 Mexican soldiers had gone to that vicinity shortly before this incident These were government soldiers or Carrancistas because Venustiano Carranza was President of Mexico at the time His government was supported by the US (Remember though that other factions were trying to take power from himmdashPancho Villa for instance) In a news article General Francisco Serrano the military commander of Sonora stated that American filibusters attacked the Mexican garrison at Casa de Piedra and were repulsed by their troops He said ldquoIn that region there have been very frequent incursions by cattle rustlers from the American side of the line and that is why we have been compelled to redouble our vigilance on that part of the borderrdquo An article in a Salt Lake newspaper said that US officials refused to discuss this incident due to diplomatic concernsDue to this incident and others at Nogales the Alabama Signal Corps was sent to Arivaca in early February as part of reinforcements along the border The 10th Cavalry some of which had been in Mexico with Pershing was then stationed in Nogales with an outpost in Arivaca General Pershing was never in Arivaca He became General of the National Army during World War I in Germany

Little did Dave Moshel know that his experiment of building ovens out of dirt and water (adobe)

in the 1980rsquos would turn into a decades-long occupation with the materials While living primitively in California Gulch east of Arivaca and out of a desire for home baked bread Dave conceived the idea of making an oven Forming a conical structure on the ground with yucca and sotol stalks and leaving a small opening at the top Dave placed a mix of dirt and water over the stalks and left it to set Once dry a fire was made inside the form which burned the stalks away This created an adobe oven that Dave used to bake bread and other food ldquoIt worked really well I made bread about every other dayrdquo Dave says of this early endeavorNot long after a friend bought a house in Tucson and needed a wall constructed Dave volunteered Using purchased pre-made adobe bricks Dave built both walls and a fireplace More jobs ensued and Dave became a busy contractor He built adobe walls and fireplaces for many homes in Tucson and around Southern Arizona He gained further experience building with adobe with Rammed Earth ConstructionIn the early 1990rsquos Dave heard about a compressed earth block machine able to manufacture adobe bricks onsite Seeing the benefits of such a machine to his growing business he purchased one This enabled him to provide block for his building projects Finding it didnrsquot work well Dave rented a shop in Arivaca and with his friend John Cook attempted to salvage the ailing machine Finding too many things wrong with it their efforts at repair were abandoned Saving major components from the machine Dave John and Larry Beckelman re-assembled it at Larryrsquos shop on Crooked Sky Road using a different and better design For centuries civilizations have built structures of sun-dried adobe blocks and rammed earth Pressed earth blocks ndash produced by machines like Daversquos ndash combine these two ancient techniques The earth mixture has been ldquopressedrdquo until it forms a block

almost as hard as concrete while still retaining the inherent natural aesthetic of adobe The added advantage in this more compact form is each block is embued with more insulating qualities due to its increased densityEmulsified asphalt or cement is added to create what is referred to as a ldquostabilized blockrdquo This increases both strength and resistance to moisture ndash especially desirable in wet climates Stabilized block can be stockpiled indefinitely and used in a variety of building methods and styles not open to ldquoun-stabilizedrdquo blocks A stabilized block with 4-5 cement added also meets building codes in urban areas Further stabilization of adobe is achieved by adding a covering of stucco plaster and an overhang to protect the surface from the elements Both of which are advisable in any climate but particularly in wet climates and those with a lot of sun exposure like Arizona

Dave has also designed molds to produce different size adobe blocks the sizes most prevalently used for construction A smaller work area is also a benefit of the brick press as traditional sun-dried adobe requires more space to dry The convenience of using on-site materials is also cost effective especially in rural areas where importing construction material can be expensive Also a consideration in this increasingly environmentally aware era is the ldquogreenrdquo aspect of adobe construction in general as well as the use of pressed block adobeAdopting the business name ldquoEarth Uprisingrdquo Dave used the brick press on his own construction jobs and also began selling bricks to other builders One local project was a house on Penny Lane in Arivaca owned by Jim Chilton Dave helped build it using his pressed bricks Another more current of Daversquos projects is building a wall for Aja and Otis Squires in TucsonOver the years design improvements have resulted in a brick press with increased durability and streamlined production These have also resulted in another business

pursuit For the past few years Dave and Larry have been building (at Larryrsquos shop in Arivaca) and selling the brick presses with purchasers including the Kayenta Indian Tribe in Northern Arizona a developer in Honduras and an alternative building group in Canada Daversquos website (httpwwwearthuprisingcom) has been integral in spreading the word Recently with the sluggish economy as incentive Dave has partnered with a person in the Prescott area to provide adobe

block for construction in Northern Arizona They will use what is referred to as an Adobe Lay-Down Machine which uses molds to produce multiple blocks at a time These will be made and then transported to various job sites

The lay-down machine functions as follows it is first hooked up to an engine with hydraulic power (4 cylinder diesel Cummins or John Deere engine) Then a pallet is placed under it which has been fitted with the mold containing

MaggieCongratulations on your column concerning our new Arivaca Fire Chief Like you I was not to enthusiastic about hiring a ldquofire chiefrdquo when our communities aging population would benefit far more with support from paramedics servicing this area However your clarity in presenting the facts concerning his accomplishments during his first month in office including now finding wild land fire experience personnel his 3 new grant applications with more to come accepting only a minimal stipend so at least two paramedics can be hired and formulating a 3 year budget are very impressiveYes there are still funding problems and excessive taxes but finally and thankfully Arivaca has a professional with an impressive resume and a positive ldquolets get it done correctlyrdquo attitude Yes he might move on in a years time but if successful and I believe he will be ― he will leave this community in better shape than it has ever beenMembers of this community who have taken a petulant judgmental attitude toward his selection should re-think their opinions and at least say ldquowelcomerdquoChristina Baklanoff

Letter to the editorWe hear a lot about Ayn Rand these days Perhaps more in the last few years than the previous quarter century Itrsquos time then to remind ourselves that neither an economist nor a political scientist Ms Rand was a novelist She wrote fiction Second rate fiction On the level of a second or third year high school student So today when we hear elected officials sing her praises and attempt to base policies on her views we should put them on that same intellectual level The ideology of which she wrote objectivism she apparently lived but not successfully She died in modest circumstances supported by Social Security and sustained by Medicare two programs that she despised and the benefits from which she took under the name Ann OrsquoConnorPlanning a nationrsquos economic policies based on the exploits of fictional heroes is a recipe for disasterHarry Peck Tumacacori AZ

MaggieItrsquos nice to know that some of your readers enjoyed my article on money Irsquom really enjoying and relishing some of the poetry your contributors are sending in lately The tenor of the poetry suddenly seems pertinent to these stressful and confusing times we live in when it is so easy to forget what a miracle life is and what our purpose ought to be The poems remind me to focus on what is important and what is not important You have some unusually wise and thoughtful people subscribing to your publication Itrsquos a pity we have to get older before we finally begin to understand how unnecessary all of this squabbling is Irsquom noticing an interesting trend of thoughtful articles suddenly appearing in some of the other newspapers I read as well I think the people who thrive by stirring up hatred and pitting us against one another may finally have over played their hands

Illegal migration from Mexico is much in the news A recent

issue of Time magazine expanding on that topic mentioned a book titled a Country for All An Immigrant ManifestoI have long been concerned that the earth will not support an ever expanding population I have also been concerned that US consumption of illegal drugs is a cause of problems faced by Mexico Until today I had not heard that drought in Mexico is the worst in 71 years and that 25 million Mexicans are affected by that drought which extends across two-thirds of Mexicorsquos states (The Christian Science MonitorndashMarch 12) The state of Guanajuiato is ldquoone of the biggest growers of produce in the country Since October 2010 there has been no significant rainfallrdquo Mexico needs helpndashthe US should send food In the meantime the drought is coming our way Maybe we should move to Alaska and Canada Folks from other countries including Afghanistan are seeking asylum The Monitor reports that US military leaders want to remain there until they can withdraw with pride We went there after 911 to capture bin Laden Now wersquore there for prideOther Monitor news US refiners are exporting gasoline to India China South America and Europe As prices rise in the US consumption falls So our oil industry serves customers elsewhere In the meantime US political candidates are smiling and uttering sound bitesWe continue to strive to run the world while the mess at home grows worse Irsquoll leave the March 12 Monitor at the library the next time Irsquom in Arivaca Maggie thanks again for the Connection It is a temptation to thank you for pieces page by page But Irsquoll settle for thanks to Daniel Chitwood and his poem C Hues Saw Hues I love her mural in the Old Schoolhouse Ralph Shelton

There is a gentle breeze today blowing fluffy white pieces of cotton from the cotton wood

trees around It almost looks like it is snowing but it is a pleasant 75ordm I didnrsquot bother brushing my hair today and I am feeling a little unmotivated lounging on a chaise in the sun I can think of plenty if things that I want to do but there are so many things that I need to do first that my mind is just sort of spinning in circles ndash much like the swirl of cotton now trapped on the porch that my cat is also transfixed by Much of my job description on the farm these days involves office work It is agonizing for me to let a spring day like this go by without fully appreciating it When I was teaching second grade I refused to keep my class inside on days like these With writing journals sketchpads or stacks of reading materials in hand twenty-five 7 and 8 year-olds would stretch out in the grass for a warm afternoon lesson outside Unfortunately my laptop screen that I need to use today is impossible to see if I sit outside and the breeze would blow my papers away

This year I have been more aware of the changing of the season and itrsquos affect on the plants around the hacienda than ever before I have never been a winter person and have always been keenly aware of the first signs of spring ndash the tweeting of a bird I havenrsquot heard for a few months the first bright green leaves marking the path of the Santa Cruz Since farming with Stewart I have felt even more in touch with the season changing with my hands literally in the dirt coaxing spring plants along and starting summer seedlings in the greenhouse This year ndash while I am stuck in the office - Stewart is doing most of the planting with our current intern and I feel a little disconnected But sitting on the chaise I vow (again) to start a journal dedicated to the blooming of plants and arrival of birds ndash maybe I will even look them up and write down their species and draw little sketches in the margins Today I noticed that the yellow iris is blooming Purple iris has not started yet The plum trees are waking up I hope we have plenty of plums again this year Ours are small and hold onto a yellow color when they are ripe but they are infinitely better than the mushy gross things that I had thought plums were ndash until I ate our own I hope to make some plum jelly but last year we ate them all right off the tree

Unfortunately there will be no peaches this year Fooled by the warm temperatures the trees bloomed early and were then zapped in a frost

The mulberries will be next to leaf-out and by May there will be ripe berries to harvest for jelly I have been staring up at these towering trees for years envious of birds that come in droves each spring for the sweet

feast until a couple of years ago with a GOOGLE search I learned how to harvest the berries They are small like a wild raspberry but the trees are giants and the fruit is too high up to reach Stewart and I spread old sheets under the limbs and using a garden hoe shook the branches allowing the ripe berries to drop We were late in the harvest and I made two or three cases ndash my first jelly actually It was so tedious There are tiny seeds in the berries that need to be extracted I followed the directions of the recipe I had and purchased a jelly bag to squeeze the juice away from the seeds but it took forever Then the next day while berries threatened to go bad in the refrigerator Stewart happened on some sort of press at The White Elephant thrift store It may have been designed for just this job ndash or perhaps tomato pressing ndash it was perfect and cut the time extracting the juice in 4ths Later that fall I felt like a seasoned jelly maker when I was able to quickly and efficiently can our pomegranates with what I had learned from the mulberries This spring I am watching the trees more carefully and I hope to get more of my share (as apposed to the birds who have been hogging them all for years)Yesterday we moved the horses and cows into the northeastern pasture (what number has Stewart named that field) Stewart has numbers for all the pastures ndash ldquoWe are going to put tomatoes in 9Ardquo he will say and I will counter ldquoDo you mean the south field next to the junk pilerdquo Or ldquoThe one where we had pumpkins last yearrdquo I have not taken the time to learn his numbering system but he has never shown any annoyance with me for it Every intern who works here for a month or two readily learns the numbers of the fields but I donrsquot I would prefer to give the pastures actual names ndash something romantic

and relevant ndash but I have no brilliant suggestions Anyway whatever number field the horses were moved to today is green Hay prices these days are outrageous and given our dysfunctional need for equines we are very lucky to have plenty of grazing land I was all geared up for an excuse to play cowgirl My horse Cody and I make a good team herding cattle around but I wasnrsquot needed The animals are trained to come to the sound of a whistle that I heard from the office where I was working (boo-hoo) I ran to get my cowgirl boots but with a quick look out the window I could see that the job was nearly done With my goofy mustang Willy in the lead the whole herd including 4 horses 2 ponies 2 miniature horses 2 donkeys and 8 cows excitedly raced through the fields towards the open gates and greener pastures Back to the officeLstewartagualindafarmnet

Heading South

by Grant Hilden

The old Spanish colonial mission church at Cocoacutespera abides in

silence overlooking the valley where it has stood for more than three hundred years The river that flowed then flows now Today trucks lumber by and the occasional car while this lovely old ruin waits quietly above hoping someone will look up and rememberSilent now but not always This great church was the center of a lively self-contained community Families lived and worked sharing good times and bad Directed by their missionaries toward the European model of Christianity Pima Indians accepted the new religion while continuing to practice and cherish many of their traditional life-ways Priests complained of native intransigence yet the determination to hold tight to old values has given us the Mestizo mix of cultures we enjoy today in Mexico

Jesuit Father EF Kino was exploring when he found a Pima (Oodham) rancheria here in 1689 Native farmers must have received him with fear and curiosity But Kino often traveled without soldier escort and could not have been a very threatening figure And the gifts of food and trinkets surely made him welcome He seemed to want nothing in return only the chance to tell of his new religionOver time the Pima continued to welcome Kino and built a ramada for religious services At the same time the missionary was sharing new crops and ways to increase production of foodIn 1702 the Pima began building this grand church Labor flooded into the community from as far as Bac the great rancheria to the North Wages took the form of food and clothing Thousands of mud adobes were formed some burned into traditional bricks Timbers cut in

nearby mountains were dragged in by oxen Kino described the new church as an adobebrick structure with a flat roof topped with grass and mud A traditional transept allowed for arched side chapels the whole topped with a dome and a lantern to welcome those seeking shelter

Cocoacutespera Sad Queen of the Desert

Life in the isolated community was a struggle Apache raiding and the arrival of devastating European diseases made life precarious The church was several times burned and the Pima forced to flee only to return and rebuild when danger had passedWhen Franciscans replaced Jesuits in 1768 the church was in ruins Archeologists tell us the present building is Franciscan built over and around the bones of Kinorsquos old church They added a new facade bell towers barrel vaulted ceiling and choir loftThe Franciscans were themselves gone by 1828 The old community soldiered on but was finally abandoned for the last time in 1845Since 1845 Cocospera has not received much love Scalawags searching for Jesuit gold destroyed the church interior and ruined the altar Moving outside they desecrated ten generations of Pima dead No above ground evidence of the old burial sites existModern day neighbors have continued to bury their dead at Cocospera These burials marked by simple rock cairns are still visible some marked by wood or metal crosses The ground is littered by the glass of broke vases and faded plastic flowers A few family pictures have faded away under the fierce Sonoran sunThe church is melting back into the desert Plaster remaining on the church front is littered with thoughtless graffiti Rusting scaffolding now decorates the facade someonersquos dream of assisting the old church long forgotten Even in ruins this is a haunting and beautiful building Take a lunch find some shade and take it all in Cocospera is an easy day-trip from Green Valley From Mariposa border crossing drive south on Mexican Hwy 15 to Imuris (about 40 miles) On the south end of Imuris look for an intersection on the left Cocospera is about twenty

miles on the left side You canrsquot miss it

I think both the Iranian and the Israeli governments recognize that when the United States says it is unacceptable for Iran to have a nuclear weapon we mean what we say I donrsquot bluff - President Obama

I assume (I fervently hope) that the president in saying those words

is sending a message to Israel to not attack Iran I cannot believe that Obama who opposed the war in Iraq is actually contemplating another American invasion of a Middle Eastern country We are finally out of Iraq after one war of eight years and winding down another in Afghanistan after ten years Make no mistake to take out Iranrsquos nuclear facilities either by us or Israel would not be as easy as when Israel destroyed Iraqrsquos and Syriarsquos Iran is a much larger and richer country with sizeable armed forces anti-aircraft defenses and more important credible means of retaliation And retaliate I am sure it wouldBut is Iran with or without nuclear weapons a threat to us or other countries When the G W Bush administration continued to build a missile defense system in eastern Europe even after the USSR had ceased to exist and Russia complained it was aimed at them Bush replied that no it was to protect Europe from Iran So

which European country did Bush think that Iran wanted to go to war with Switzerland Sweden Maybe Andorra Or how about Denmark where those cartoons of the Prophet had been published But hold on Denmark is a member of NATO and an attack on one is an attack on all France Britain the United States et al The first question is whether Iran even intends to develop atomic weapons Iran is a signatory of the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty All officials in Iran claim that its nuclear development is for peaceful purposes And in spite of the ranting of president Ahmadinejad Supreme Leader Khameini (who wields more power than Ahmadinejad) issued a fatwa declaring that nuclear weapons are forbidden under Islam But as long as Iran refuses inspections by the IAEA we canrsquot be sureSo the second question is if Iran does develop an atomic bomb will it use it On whom Unlikely a European nation despite what George W Bush thought Probably not the US as we do have overwhelming means of retaliation Saudi Arabia Possibly but unlikely This leaves Israel but Israel has many atomic weapons and will always maintain many more than Iran And an attack on Israel invites retaliation by both Israel and the United States Giving a bomb to Hezbollah to set off in Israel would fool no one not least

the IsraelisIf not to use it why would Iran or any nation want to have an atomic weapon First Iran might want to show it is the leader of the Muslim countries of the Middle East Second it might want it as a deterrent President George W Bush named Iran as one of the ldquoAxis of Evilrdquo Then he invaded and occupied the two countries on either side of Iran Iraq and Afghanistan Imagine if during the Cold War the Soviet Union had conquered Canada and Mexico Could it be that just perhaps Iran feels a bit threatened by the USA Would Iran getting weapons start a nuclear arms race in the Middle East Recall that when North Korea was developing nuclear weapons many pundits stated that this would lead countries like South Korea Japan and Taiwan to go nuclear But North Korea did get the bomb and the others did not So a Middle East nuclear arms race is not inevitableFinally what is the history of nuclear warfare since Hiroshima and Nagasaki Uh nothing zero zip Just after World War II when America was the only country with nuclear weapons many US military leaders claimed that nuclear weapons were just larger bombs and there was no reason not to use them After all during the recent war the terror bombing of cities with little or no military value was common Dresden Tokyo etc An atomic bomb only meant one plane instead of many the number of civilians killed was the aim One seldom hears such a view nowadaysWhen the Soviet Union acquired the bomb almost all thinkers were

convinced that a third world war with the use of nuclear weapons was inevitable Not if but when Those of you who were school children then must remember air raid drills of hiding under your desks And all the bomb shelters being built In our early post WWII wars there were calls for using atom bombs General MacArthur in Korea Barry Goldwater in Vietnam After fighting several wars first India and then quickly Pakistan acquired nukes And havenrsquot fought a war sinceWhat really shows the change in attitude about nuclear war is how many non-nuclear countries have stated wars with nuclear powers without seemingly any worry about nuclear retaliation North Korea North Vietnam Iraq Panama and Yugoslavia took on the United States Afghan and Chechen insurgents defied the Soviet Union Egypt fought Britain France and Israel (the latter more than once) Vietnam started a war with China The Argentinean junta ordered the invasion of the Falkland Islands in full confidence that Britain would not retaliate by reducing Buenos Aires to radioactive rubble Atomic war seems to have gone from thinkable to unthinkableIdeally would be the complete elimination of all nuclear weapons everywhere A probably impossible utopia Next in desirability would be keeping the number of nations with nuclear weapons to as few as possible Thus the Non-Proliferation Treaty However the issue here is whether we Americans are willing to start another war in the Middle East (or anywhere else) to prevent one more nuclear nation Letrsquos hope not

Iran and the Bomb

After 35 years of the Food amp Drug Administration ignoring the health and safety of US consumers of factory-farmed beef a recent decision by a New York court will require the FDA to get serious about antibiotics in meatThe court ruled on a lawsuit brought by the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) Center for Science in the Public Interest Food Animal Concerns Trust Public Citizen and Union of Concerned Scientists This is a pretty big dealIt was in 1977 when the FDA saw the first clear evidence that connected low doses of growth promoting antibiotics in animals to the existence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria capable of infecting peopleThe FDA sat on the information caving to the beef industry only putting out ldquovoluntaryrdquo guidelines in 2010 The judge ruled that once the FDA discovered these drugs were unsafe for consumers or animals the agency was obligated to withdraw approval for their use in animal feed The FDA failed to do so because of industry pressure

Vulture capitalism at work ndash beef producers knew the dangers yet proceeded to use penicillin and tetracyclines in livestock feed because these drugs increase their profit marginAlthough the ruling does not compel the FDA to ban growth-promoter (or lsquofeed efficiencyrsquo) use of antibiotics it does require the FDA to follow through on a process that it began in 1977 And considering how much pressure the FDA faces from the meat industry that follow-through is likely to be a long painful process Public health should be the first consideration of the FDA - it is obviously not And now studies are beginning to show that these drugs are showing up in the environment as well - in our soilAs consumers we can help in the cause of getting these drugs out of our food supply simply by knowing where the beef you eat comes from and if itrsquos factory-farmed then have a salad Since the beef industry is more interested in our money than our health ndash we can close our wallet and get their attention

Three thoughts have been recurring to me for well over a

year now 1 What were the personal beliefs of those ever-aloof elders of our familymdashmy grandparents for example who died so long ago 2 How completely do modern technologies and other aspects of the world lsquoout therersquo distract us (especially youngsters) from introspection and from getting to know our inner selves 3 How might young people and old make more productive use of spare time whether it be the little snippets when waiting in lines or for a bus or during those longer periods between job-related work or high school classes Then some months ago I stumbled upon a pocket-sized paperback by one Mortimer J Adler PhD titled Great Ideas from the Great Books (Washingotn Square Press 1961) In less than 270 pages Adler packed in no less than ninety four chapters each of which presents a mercifully brief and easy to digest answer to a question that some ordinary citizen had written in Some came when Adler was at the University of Chicago editing the 54-volume set titled Great Books of the Western World (published by Encyclopedia Britannica) while others arrived later when he was director of The Great Books FoundationAnyway so taken was I with the bookrsquos portability readability and second-hand price of twenty five cents() not to mention the authorrsquos exalted reputation that I bought it on the spot and have been browsing it in spare moments ever since Irsquoll never share any of Adlerrsquos theistic views and biasesmdasha believing Jew in childhood he was so taken with Thomist philosophy in college that he converted to Catholicismmdashbut I really admire the plain-spoken way that Adler presents the views as we now know them from some of the greatest minds of Western Culture So much so in fact that I copied the entire table of contents onto a single double-sided sheet of paper

and mailed it off to our seventeen year old grandson who plans to enroll next Fall at a college in the Colorado Rockies My gentle challenge went something like this lsquoLet me know which topics if any interest you and Irsquoll send copies one or two at a time each with some thoughts of my own enclosed But be sure to deliberate a bit maybe even jotting down a few of your own thoughts before perusing Adlerrsquos authoritative version or my annotationsrsquo I thought this might prove a useful and interesting way to spend idle moments as well as providing a relatively painless introduction to some of the major currents of Western Culture thought By ldquopainlessrdquo I merely meant ldquowithout having to sit through hours of formal lectures or read countless pages of ponderous rhetoric before suffering through graded tests Of 94 to choose from the boy eventually requested 23 which included such topics as ldquoLiberalism and Conservatismrdquo ldquoThe Conflict between Reason and Emotionrdquo ldquoThe Purpose of Liferdquo and twenty others To my chagrin he did not list chapter

Recently I had the pleasure of riding trail with some delightful

ladies These ladies came from Canada Minnesota and Oregon each with a desire to see some of the Southwest from the back of a horse All of these women are excellent equestrians and have many years in the saddle making my job a total pleasure from start to finish Trail is what I love the most and my horses Mo Bert and Sissy are very happy to be out trotting down trailBecause we would be riding in some challenging terrain our safety was at the top of my list Over my years of Endurance riding I have experienced and watched things happen on trail that called for a lot of trail savvy for the horse and rider to come out in one piece I intended to bring my riders home safe and happyTrail riding should be fun and relaxing and most of the time it is but the unexpected can happen and cause a horse or rider to be injured When riding alone or with others the following items are essential for our safety and that of our horseThese take-along basics will likely cover any immediate need in an emergency and keep you safe until help arrives Almost all of it will fit into a fanny pack so that they are on you if you should become unhorsed

Cell Phone - remember some remote areas may have no signalWhistle -to alert people to your location Blowing a whistle takes less effort than shouting and is

much louder You may want to practice a cue for your horse to come at feeding time because it may reunite you with your horse if you fall off and he runs awayPocket Knife - the Leatherman type is best because they include tools necessary for the trailBailing twine - to repair tack or help build a shelterBandana - to use as a sling pressure bandage or cooling clothEasy boot - in case your horse should lose a shoe The boot is kept in a pouch on the horseFoil blanket - to use as a shelter or keep you warm They come folded in a little package no bigger than a tissue packageRain slicker - they also come folded and easy to packDouble-end snap - to repair tack or help build a shelterHoof-pick - to clean feet or dig holesPortable First-aid kit - these small soft kits include things like Band-Aids Tylenol antibiotic cream they usually also have instructions for First Aid and CPR I recommend that you take Red Cross classes in first aid and CPRWater - as much as you can carry to avoid dehydration or to clean woundsItinerary - always let someone know where you are riding and when you expect to be back The last time I checked for Search and Rescue to come after you was $3000 plus Chances are nothing will happen but itrsquos better to be safe than sorry And always always ride with a helmet you make better decisions when yoursquore consciousldquoTrail now this is what riding is all aboutrdquo Judy WilloughbySafe and Happy trails

J Wilson Green ValleyI donrsquot know if Mitt Romney is eligible to be President of the United States He hasnrsquot volunteered any proof that he was born in the USA A candidate who is not forthcoming in producing his legal long form birth certificate is suspect and should be kept off any ballot until said birth certificate is produced Many of you Republicans in Arizona have already voted for the guy in the primary Why didnrsquot you ask for proof of his citizenship before the primary I never heard any Constitution Lovinrsquo Republicans ask for it Is it because he ldquolooksrdquo American Because he has the ldquorightrdquo shade of skin Because you just ldquoknow he was born hererdquo Do we A lot of the Romney family traveled to and from Mexico back when the Mormon Romneys were searching for safe harbor to keep as many wives in their stable as they wanted Damn the US governmenthelliponly ONE wife Letrsquos pack up Mildred and Agnes and Sheila and Doris andhellipmove to Mexico where we can practice The Book of Mormon as we see fit Then some of them moved back to the States when the Mexican Revolution became too intense for them to practice their ldquoreligious freedomrdquo There seemed to be a lot of movement to and from our neighbors to the south Mormons being as enigmatic and clannish (notice I didnrsquot say cultish) as they are who knows which Romneys were born in Mexico and which ones werenrsquot Documents tend to get lost destroyed and misplaced when people uprootWe do know that George Romney (Willard Mittrsquos father) was born in Mexico and according to Mexican law that would have made him a Mexican citizen when Willard Mitt was born Does that make Mitt a Mexican citizen too President Obama had a father

born in Kenya If you listen to some bottom feeders and Tea Party panderers in this country including Joe Arpaio they contend that makes the President a Kenyan too despite the fact he was born in Hawaii (the 50th state to all you Flat Earthers out there) So by that logic Mitt Romney is Mexican Absolutely nothing wrong with being Mexican but it does disqualify him from being PresidentShow me the birth certificateThen again Mitt Romney could have been born in outer space There are times when he acts and talks as if he has only recently come to this planet His stiff robotic behavior suggests he missed the last semester of the ldquoBeing Humanrdquo class at Galaxy U He is still learning the English language While in Alabama and Mississippi during his campaign he spoke for the very first time ldquoYarsquollrdquo and flubbed his English lesson by blurting out ldquocheesy gritsrdquo instead of simply ldquogritsrdquo His extraterrestrial handlers canrsquot seem to find him a pair of jeans that make him look like a normal human beingHe talks about the trees on earth ldquobeing the right sizerdquo The right size for what What sinister use of our trees do you have in mind if you became President Mr Romney When he campaigned in Michigan he told us of his fascination with cars Irsquom pretty sure where he came from cars are a quaint oddity of the distant past A brilliant attempt on his part to seem like ldquoone of usrdquoI wasnrsquot born in Missourihellipthe ldquoShow Merdquo state but I also wasnrsquot born yesterday If Willard Mitt Romney thinks he can just waltz in here from another planet and ruinhelliperrun this country hersquos got another think comingShow me the birth certificate

Charles R KellySome kind of philosophy is a necessity to all but the more thoughtless said Bertrand Russell a renowned philosopher and peace activist He meant that ever since we were children most of us have had a desire to learn Philosophy which means lsquolove of wisdomrsquo encourages the normal inclination to know what is true The desire to form a coherent interpretation of reality is natural to the reflective mind Almost all the questions of most interest to speculative minds are such as science cannot answerrsquo Russell taught One of the functions of philosophy is to keep alive interest in such questions Our consciousness wants to expand We want to know the truthSadly truth is a rare commodity these days We need only tune into our national politics or advertising to dismiss all doubts The news media have become mostly outlets for public relations offices telling us what they want us to know And the truth gets tweaked or suppressed How can a society founded on democracy survive without the truthBertrand Russell was a foremost

supporter of democratic causes devoting his life to principles of human freedom He sponsored a movement of nuclear disarmament condemned the creed of militarism and won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1950 He reminded us that democracy is the safeguard against arbitrary power Humans have acquisitive and predatory impulses and a function of the state is to control those impulses The aim of those in power should be the betterment of the human race and the state is a means to that end and not an end in itselfAs a senior citizen who has seen the glory days of America suddenly slip by I look with dismay and sadness at what the young people are going through these days many who are either without employment or in dead-end jobs They are forced to choose either to forego college or to go into big-time debt It didnrsquot use to be this way kids not before the wars and the Wall Street bailout leading to the financial stranglehold of the mega-rich and their minions

The Reflective Mind

David L Divine Green Valley

A Christian family values group Center for Arizona

Policy (httpwwwazpolicyorgabout us) has just used its lobbying power to kill SB 1462 a bill to help establish rules about bullying in public schools Cathy Herrod president of CAP said ldquothe bullying theme is agenda driven propagandardquo Gay rights groups the Anti-Defamation League and Equality Arizona testified in support of the legislation which would have provided training to help teachers and parents recognize and deal with bullying The homophobic Ms Herrod thought that this would give ldquothemrdquo access to our schools - them being LGBT persons - even though there is no mention of protection for any special group in the proposed legislationSo because of this prejudice all children subject to bullying do not have all protections in place to assure their safety in school This is another example of how the mullahs in our society use their religious beliefs to affect the establishment of laws that could be beneficial to society as a wholeArizona state representative Debbie Lesko Republican District 9 (httpdebbieleskoorg) has authored HB 2625 which gives employers the power to refuse to pay for employeersquos coverage for birth control medicine if contraception is against the EMPLOYERS religious beliefs She states on her web page that ldquothe

employer can opt out IF and only IF they have a religious objectionrdquo She further states the ldquogovernment should not be mandating people to do something against their religious beliefs That violates their First Amendment rights and is un-American We must protect our First Amendment right to freedom of religion The future of America is at stake ldquoChanges in the proposed law have been forced by public opposition to the law No longer will it be a requirement for employees to state that contraceptives are not being used for contraception Employers would not be able to deny contraceptive coverage based on religious or moral reasons but employees of religious organizations would not be protected from discrimination by employers who object to an employee who independently chooses to obtain insurance coverage or prescriptions for contraceptives from another source The changes to this proposed legislation are being made by Deborah Sheasby of The Center For Arizona Policy proving again that lobbyists write laws This bill will be reviewed by the Senate Rules Committee on April 2nd Government intrusion into private health care decisions must not be allowed especially when that intrusion is based on the religious beliefs of a certain sect

The American eagle canrsquot fly with one wing We on the left of a political spectrum are called to be more open to religion else 40 or more of the population will be forever beyond reach Most of our grievances come from lsquoorganizedrsquo religion and not the spirituality inherent in each one of us Making a distinction between religion as an institution and our natural religious instincts is critical Russell was an agnostic who liked to remind the churches that theyrsquove frequently done more harm than good invoking theology for persecutions and religious wars Nevertheless he attached value to any religious attitude concerned about life The worthwhile life for him was one inspired by love and guided by knowledge He writes in praise of the lsquospiritrsquo that enables us to transcend the search for purely personal satisfaction by feeling the same interest in other peoplersquos joys and sorrows and serving ends which are supra-human Truth or Beauty or for religious people the Divine Itrsquos doubtful the enthusiastic energy that is focused in a positive direction can be sustained within the protest movement without a spiritual element Both Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King stressed that point speaking of the lsquospirituality of loversquo which they knew was in the heart of everyone who listened And they believed passionately

in a transformation of human consciousness There is so much more that binds us than divides us But there are strong forces of political economic and corporate power that seek to distract and divide us in order to maintain control over the earth and its people Perhaps thatrsquos why the Star Wars movies were so popular The story comes so close to the truthHuman history has long been a struggle between light and dark forces those who want to live freely and those who want to subject others to their whims and fancies Where is the lsquoforcersquo of Star Wars thatrsquos supposed to be lsquowithrsquo us That seems to be the missing dimension the one we need if we are to wrest control of our world and our lives from lsquodarkrsquo powersBertrand Russell lived to be an old man yet he continued his battle on behalf of the welfare of humanity He kept his mind alive with the sense of inquisitiveness and desire for knowing that we all had as children His reflective mind wanted to know the truth which shall set us freeCharles Rayner Kelly is a retired educator a philosopher and a novelist Among his books are Little Poor Man - The Story of St Francis of Assisi Keeper of the Sacred Pipe Flight of the Goddess and Black Robe

unsuccessful expeditionAn event near Ruby in early 1917 made the national news The Utah Cavalry had arrived in late 1916 as guardians of Arivaca and points south complete with a pack train of 60 mules These troops were part of the contingent of National Guardsmen called up by President Wilson in light of the Mexican Revolution and the troubles with Villa In late January of 1917 these troops were involved in a skirmish at the border near Casa Piedra (Stone House) in California Gulch This landmark is an old building about a thousand yards north of the border on elevated ground on the east side of the canyon Reportedly it

was originally a line camp for the Arivaca Land and Cattle Company Apparently Mexican troops had been stationed in the canyon below the border it being close to the American mining camps in the Gulch Warsaw Canyon and Ruby and a large population of Mexican expatriates who might be expected to join the revolution at any time One Lieutenant Reyes was reportedly in command According to various newspaper reports and letters cowboys for the Arivaca Land and Cattle Company were retrieving cattle from near the border when Mexican soldiers fired on them The cowboys were armed of course and they returned fire Troops F and E of the Utah Cavalry numbering about a hundred men under the command of Major Wallace Captain Bassett and

Lieutenant Arnes were stationed at Arivaca A unit of these troops was passing by Casa Piedra on a regular run and they were called upon to help More troops followed as the day progressed The Utah cavalry were stationed behind rocks about half way between the house and the fence from which point they returned fire Apparently the battle went on for more than a day One Mexican soldier was apparently killed one captured and the others fled The Star reported no casualties among the American soldiers The captured soldier was taken to the border and released on the Mexican side When the Mexicans evacuated their post a live calf with an American brand was found tied near one of the adobe houses and two hides one with Phil Clarkersquos brand and the other with the Arivaca Ranch brand were found Four rifles five saddles and three belts of ammunition were also found by American troops afterwards The houses were wrecked and burned The American soldiers went a mile and a half into Mexico One found a live chicken and another a pair of shoesrdquo Several of the locals including my grandfather had followed the cavalry down into the Gulch to watch the action staying well back on the hills and out of range Apparently the sight of soldiers coming out of the canyon carrying chickens was reportedly almost as exciting as the shooting itselfThe Star related the following incident ldquoCaptain St Clair an English mining man formerly of the English army wanted to go and talk to the Mexicans and settle the trouble when the first fighting took place He walked coolly up to the fence and leaned against the gate smoking calling on the Mexicans to come out and talk it over Suddenly the door of the adobe opened and several rifles cracked the bullets barely missing

the peacemaking EnglishmanldquoI thought my hour had comerdquo he said afterwards However several cowboys and soldiers came to his aid and covered his retreat with firing directed at the door of the adobe The captain retreated in dignity for a short distance and then went lsquodouble quickrsquordquoOn the Mexican side of the line some thought that the Mexicans were followers of Francisco Reyna a bandit but another bandit by the name of Salazar was also operating just south of the border Some 75 Mexican soldiers had gone to that vicinity shortly before this incident These were government soldiers or Carrancistas because Venustiano Carranza was President of Mexico at the time His government was supported by the US (Remember though that other factions were trying to take power from himmdashPancho Villa for instance) In a news article General Francisco Serrano the military commander of Sonora stated that American filibusters attacked the Mexican garrison at Casa de Piedra and were repulsed by their troops He said ldquoIn that region there have been very frequent incursions by cattle rustlers from the American side of the line and that is why we have been compelled to redouble our vigilance on that part of the borderrdquo An article in a Salt Lake newspaper said that US officials refused to discuss this incident due to diplomatic concernsDue to this incident and others at Nogales the Alabama Signal Corps was sent to Arivaca in early February as part of reinforcements along the border The 10th Cavalry some of which had been in Mexico with Pershing was then stationed in Nogales with an outpost in Arivaca General Pershing was never in Arivaca He became General of the National Army during World War I in Germany
