Arizona Food Insecurity Rising
The United States Department of Agriculture says that more than 15% of Arizona households do not have consistent, dependable access to enough food for active, healthy living. That’s a 5% increase from the last report.
Public News Service says that Arizona food banks are seeing a lot of families who have lost their jobs and exhausted their savings as the recession continues.
Fortunately, donations to the state’s food banks are holding up well, in spite of the record demand for emergency food boxes.
More than 1600 Arizona households were polled for the annual USDA survey.

Tanner Fire Visible From Globe
Pleasant Valley Ranger District fire specialists are managing the lightning-caused Tanner wildfire. The fire began August 20 near the peak of Armer Mountain. It has burned about 800 acres.
Fire activity may be visible to vistors and residents in the Tonto Basin, Globe and Young areas and also when looking south from State Route 260.
Due to current weather conditions, including monsoon humidity, the lightning-caused fire can be allowed to play its natural role in the ecosystem. Assistant Fire Management Officer Johnny Whatley says managing fires now can help prevent catastrophic wildfires in the future when weather conditions are much less favorable.
