****ALERT***ROAD MEETING LOCATION CHANGE
Wondering how and when Pima County roads in EE will be
repaired and what it will cost homeowners? Green Valley
Council is sponsoring an informative meeting with Deputy
County Administrator Tom Burke and County Finance Director
Keith Dommer on Tuesday, October 11 at 9:30 am.
Head over to the GVR Desert Hills Social Center at
2980 South Camino Del Sol and prepare to be
enlightened.
This is EE's largest and potentially most costly problem. The county believes
that we should bear some or all of the cost. Maximum
homeowner participation in this meeting is crucial.
Please try to attend if possible.

Madera Canyon Bear Sightings
Hikers recently reported bear encounters along trails in
Madera Canyon. Heading to the canyon? It's good to avoid
smelling like food or even toothpaste. Avoid those cookie
smelling bath and hair products. Don't wear the same clothes
that you were wearing while cooking breakfast (Yumm...
bacon-flavored hiker ahead.) Pack snacks in airtight solid
containers--not plastic bags. Don't leave food in your
vehicle. Make some noise as you hike. We suggest singing
"The Bear Went Over the Mountain." If you see a bear in the
distance, alter your route. If a bear comes close, make
yourself appear large and make noise. To report bear
sightings phone the Arizona Game and Fish Department at
623-236-7201.
