Missing in Monsoon
During a recent monsoon, Linda Hoy's large American flag
and its metal pole were blown off her house on S. Circulo
Napa. She looked around right after the storm but has
not been able to locate them. Please contact Linda if
you see them anywhere.
Show Us Your Treasures
The Periodico staff is planning a future article about
residents' treasured keepsakes. The item doesn't need
to have monetary value, just a good story to tell.
Perhaps something passed down in your family? If you
have the item at your summer place, please remember to
take photos of it before you return to EE. Contact
cjsurprise@verizon.net if
you would like to participate.

Ellie Returns Home
Nancy Moore's white
toy poodle mix, Ellie, had quite the adventure this
week. Slipping out a not-quite-latched gate, she
managed to evade well meaning EE residents bent on
corralling her for more than 36 hours.
Joan Moreaux commented
that "probably a hundred people were involved" in
advertising Ellie's predicament and joining in the
search for her. Checks of Green Valley and Pima
County animal shelters failed to turn up the escapee. Flyers with Ellie's picture were created and posted and
dog walkers from adjoining Portillo and Villas
neighborhoods were on the lookout for the missing
pooch.
Ellie is safe now. It's good to know that Green
Valley has such good neighbors.
Arizona's Protected Native Plants
Reports of an EE resident's encounter with an
unidentified cactus thief are a reminder that removing
protected plants from any Arizona land requires a permit
and written permission from the owner of the land. All
land in Arizona belongs to someone, so even undeveloped
land requires permission. The list of protected plants
is a long one--including saguaro, barrel, and cholla
cacti, the native dessert willow, honey mesquite, and soaptree yucca.
You'll find the complete list at http://plants.usda.gov/java/threat?statelist=states&stateSelect=US04.
If you encounter a suspected cactus thief, note their
license number, take a picture of the vehicle/and or
individual, and report it to law enforcement.
You Know It's Summer in Green Valley When....
you expect a rainbow after every afternoon shower.
