Sadly, the rain in Louisiana doesn’t douse the flames that rage in California. Weather doesn’t come where we will it or ever, it seems, in moderation anywhere. But Iranian poet Majid Naficy is not roused by nature in this excerpt from his poem, “To a Soldier’s Wife.” “I see you looking at him In a sad mortuary in your town Where the chimneys have darkened the sky And poverty passes whistling In its dirty suit. “There, I became a drop of tear Falling from your beautiful eyes Onto his sutured mouth And his torn body And I became a mournful cry From your tightened throat As his casket was carried away And placed into the shameless ground.” Copyright Majid Naficy, iroon.com. With so many reasons to weep these days, sometimes it helps to funnel emotions into words. Join us as we share what we write via Zoom.

The successes of our representative government depend so much on the hurly-burly of Arizona’s generally hardworking legislators. We are inviting members of the Arizona House of Representatives to help us understand not just how a bill becomes a law, but to tell us what real opportunities and obstacles our legislators grapple with. We will share which Arizona issues we want our legislators to work on next.

Slowly but surely we are making improvements to the K-9 Korral. There is a new rules sign posted on the fence along the walkway. There is also a new park bench on the upper end of the large dog park. This bench was donated by Paul Jensen and his dog Hazel. In October we will install a plaque on this bench honoring their donation. We are still working on options for shade structures for both the large and small dog sections. Due to the Arizona climate and the annual monsoon season, we need a structure that can withstand Arizona weather. This will require approval from the SCOV Board, the ARC, and the Oro Valley Building Department. We are working with SCOV on constructing a new entrance sign to the park, and lastly, we are working on an official logo for the Fido’s Friends Dog Club. We will update the membership on all of our initiatives when we restart our meetings in November.
