Bertha Vir.mond, Cochise County. Arizona, 1937. - 3 - HO\(JNAXERS CLUBS History - See 1935 and 1936 reports. The Homemakers groups of this county have been carrying the outline as suggested by the State Home Demonstration Agent tor the past three years. Additional group. have used these outlines tor miscellaneous work. However, the Stewart, SUlphur Spr1ngs, Double Adobe and Whitewater groups have completed three years requirements. These outlines have baen used as the basis tor each meeting. �e one criticism bas been that the Agent has had to do �ost ot the work. However, in each group each woman has assisted and in sane eases they have given demonstra­ tions. Bach year at the annual birthday party, which is really the achievement day of the stewart Homemakers, Miss Frances L. Brown has been present and has listened to a review of the years work. The Homemakers groups ot Stewart and Double Adobe have attended the County Far.m Bureau picnic far the past three years. At such meetings there has been much enjoyment in comparing notes on what various clubs are doing and in free comparison as to what can be done to ma�e their organizations better. During the pest year the Stewart Homemakers have taken over ODe room at the Stewart School and have established a Club House. They have built two tables, each twelve feet in length, and have started the necessary equipment to serve their own community dinners, parties, ete. During the year the Homemakers had a joint picnic with the �H Bertha Virmond, Cochise Oounty, Arizona. 1937. -4- �ealth Club at Stewart. This is the first time that the Homemakers have Joined with the 4wH Clubs and an "enjoyable day was the result. The � Club presented a model business meeting for the occasion, providing the music and program. '!he SUlphur Springs Homemakers have completed six of the required third year demonstrations and have had ten meetings during the year. They have maintataed their club room but have had no new equipment. They have taken care of the sick, remembering each club member who bas been Sick with letters, flowers and baskets or food. They presented the agent with a beautiful brief case during the past year. They voted fund. to send the outstanding � girl in their community to the 4-H Round-Up. They have prepared a Christmas box tor the Children's Home. Double Adobe Homemakers have spent much of the past year on activities within their own community. Each month a mamber of the Homemakers group or a commdttee of several members has served a community dinner to the local Farm Bureau organization. These have been quite elaborate affairs. Their club room has been decorated and dinners have been beautifully served and a program furnished for the evening. In addition to the equipment reported last year these women have stained and varnished their six tables, have bought dishes and silver· sufficient to serve Sixty people. They have just completed paying for three dozen steel chairs which will add materially to the Bertha VirmoM, Cochise County, Arizona. 1937. - 5 - !._omtort ot the hr10U8 groups. '!he Homemakers have added material- 11 in the 4-H Club Work that has been carried on in the Double Adobedletrict. They have chaperoned the youngsters on each occasion and have cooperated in everr way possible in making the Social Progress Club in this community outstanding in the state. The Whi tews ter Homemakers, known as the Valley Woman's Club, has been untortunate in not having a Club Room ot their own. They have had to meet· in each others homes but at the same time they have been able to carryon a worthwhile years work. They have campleted/nine ot the outline! demonstrations. It is true that the agent has had to help with the demonstrations but the women have gained much contidence and have affected a good organization. The agent devoted ten days to work in four communities. She had five meetings with an attendance ot 140.

Four demonstrations were given in two communi ties with holiday menus as a subject with an attendance or 58.

Food preservation has been an important part of Home Demonstration Work tor the past eight years. During this time demonstrations have been given to practically eTery communi ty in the eounty. The agent feels th�t most of the rural women are able to take care ot their canning problems quite efficiently. However, from time to time the agent is still called on to visit small groups, especially new comers in various communities. We have tried to do this whenever the occasion arises and have found that working wi th small groups in their own kitchen has been quite worthwhile. Where 8 series or demonstrations have been given the agent likes to give' a demonstration on the use of the pressure cooker. in the canning or non-acid vegetables and meats in both tin cans and glass jars. The canning ot fruit has been lim!ted to exhibit canning. The competition in exhibit canning 1a thi8 county 1s still interesting.

    •• NATIVE FISHES AND NATURAL AQUATIC HABITATS IN U. S. FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE REGION II WEST OF THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE A Review of Population and Habitat Status and Evaluation of Survival Potentials for Native Freshwater Fishes, with Recommendations for Manaoement to Perpetuate the Indigenous Regional Fauna by W. L. MinckiPs,' Department of Zoolooy, Arizona State University, Tempe, Arizona 352S7 4 30 December 925 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Natural aquatic habitats are becoming scarce in the arid American Southwest due to man's expanding needs for water. Native fishes are in direct competition for this resource, and are rapidly losing in their struggle for existance. Judicious husbandry of existing habitats, reclamation of those which remain relatively natural, and an intensive program of management of native fishes can stop and reverse current trends toward faunal extinction. Recommendations are to treat these fishes as faunal complexes, and define, delineate, and acquire for management those habitats with attributes suitable to support groups of species in perpetuity. Already-protected and geographically remote habitats are of top priority, those used by man but still in a natural or semi-natural state are second, and others requiring increasing levels of reclamation are decreasingly emphasized. Big rivers and their fishes are most critically endangered, streams and fish species of intermediate and high elevations are least so, and special habitats and fishes are manageable through site acquisition and reintroduction programs. There is not =.uffirient time for in-depth research prior to artinnq to recover many of the imperiled species and populations. Collection of basic information on reproduction, species interactions, and population dispersion and dispersal, must occur concurrently with habitat and species recovery and management operations.

These dynamic geological symbol of the events shaped the valley, creating a National Wildlife picturesque landscape, establishing Refuge System. permanent water sources, and allowing for a variety of plants and animals to flourish here. The San Bernardino Valley once supported permanently flowing creeks, springs, and marshy wetlands. The giant sacaton grassland in the valley was described as “a luxuriant meadow some eight or ten miles long and a mile wide.” The dependable source of water and grass made the area invaluable to fish and wildlife, and a hub of human activity. Rare thrive in Twin Pond at San Bernardino National Wildlife Refuge. Beginning in the late 1800’s, increased human development brought farming, mining, and livestock production to the region, bearing pressure on the precious water. While the area’s extensive wetlands once provided habitat for eight different kinds of native fish, the lowering water table led to severe changes in the habitat and the eventual local extinctions of many species.

Plans are published by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, sometimes prepared with the assistance of recovery teams, contractors, State agencies, and others. Objectives will be attained and any necessary funds made available subject to budgetary and other constraints affecting the parties involved, as well as the need to address other priorities. Recovery plans do not necessarily represent the views, official positions, or approval of any individuals or agencies involved in the plan formulation, other than the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. They represent the official position ofthe U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service only after they have been signed by the Regional Director or Director as aDproved. Approved recovery plans are subject to modification as dictated by new findings, changes in species status, and the completion of recovery tasks. This revised recovery plan was essentially completed when the Secretary of Interior’s policy initiatives regarding public participation in recovery plan preparation and implementation was announced on July 1, 1994.
