Why was it buried?

Why were three feathers in the metal cylinder?

Why was a copy of the Aug. 30, 1932, issue of The Bisbee Daily Review in the
container?

Why weren’t there other items inside the heavy tube?

Was it even a time capsule?

The answer is — well the answers may never be known.

It was about a year ago when Hubert Polo Rodriguez, who was helping to clean out a home in Old Bisbee, came upon the container in the backyard.

Adam Curtis

Herald/Review

Almost three months since the first speed and red-light enforcement camera in Sierra Vista went online, the early data shows a slight reduction in accidents.

Yet with just two months of stats ready for comparison, the anecdotal results may be encouraging from a public safety standpoint but are still far from establishing a trend.

A power pole was damaged after a single-vehicle accident east of Sierra Vista, though no electrical service was disrupted, a spokesman for Sulphur Springs Valley Electric Cooperative said Tuesday.

The accident occurred around 3:25 p.m. near the intersection of Moson Road and Highway 90.

The pole was “basically destroyed” by the impact, said Wayne Crane, media relations manager for SSVEC. However, there was enough support in the power lines that crews were still debating whether the pole needed to be replaced on Tuesday evening.
