Pickleball Pictures

From Tammy Kempton


In spite of the heat, there have been a solid group of 8-10 pickleball players all summer long. We have been meeting in the morning at 7 and play for an hour and a half.  It's a great group...we are crazy (but joyful)!


What Are You are Reading This Summer?


Here's a book suggestion for your Summer reading from Louise McCabe.


The White Lady

by Jacqueline Winspear

From Louise McCabe


I just finished The White Lady by Jacqueline Winspear. It's a stand alone. Not part of the Maisie Dobbs series which I have enjoyed very much. The White Lady is during the same time period as Maisie. WWI &WWII and the post war years. 


What are you reading this summer? We'd love to hear your book recommendations. Please send your book suggestions to Judy Hayes, jkhayes70@gmail.com.

Sheriff Departments Are Warning the Public of a Telephone Impersonation Scam



Source: Composed from Sheriffs Department's by John Nesavich

Pima County Sheriff Department, Denver Sheriff Department, Phoenix Sheriff Department


This scam is appearing around the Country. The Sheriff's Departments reports the impersonator will “spoof” the Sheriff Department information telephone number on the victim’s caller ID, but give the victim a different call-back number. The impersonator will request the victim to meet to pay bond or bail or wire money for payment of a warrant.


Recently, the phone scam's victims have also met an unknown male to pay a cash bond or bail. The victim is then instructed to go to the downtown jail to finalize the release of a family member. Sheriff's Deputies will never request payment for a warrant, bond, or bail nor make contact by phone, and a Deputy Sheriff would never meet or suggest a member of the public meet someone on the street to pay cash for a bond or bail.


If you receive a suspicious call from someone alleging to be a Deputy Sheriff, report the information to your local police department.
