Cactus & Crocodilians: Arizona's Newest Resident Missed the Memo About the Desert‼️
This picture was supposedly taken by someone Tuesday late afternoon on Frontage Road in Elfrida Arizona. The pic was then posted in the Eldrida News Facebook page by Shelly Sherwin. A call to the Cochise County Sheriff's Office - Mark J. Dannels Sheriff was also made in which we do have the voice call. We are unsure what happened after the call was made however.
Alligators are not known to naturally wash down Arizona washes during heavy rains because alligators are not native to Arizona.
Alligators require humid, water-rich environments like the swamps and bayous of the southeastern United States. Arizona's arid desert climate and temporary "washes" (arroyos)—which stay dry for most of the year and only flood rapidly during massive storms—cannot sustain a native alligator population.
The belief that this has happened usually stems from a few specific things:
1. The Famous "Grand Canyon Alligator" (Clem)
The most prominent real-world story of a "desert gator" involves an alligator named Clem. In 1986, a rancher was given a 16-inch baby alligator as a gift and released it into man-made livestock ponds at Pakoon Springs in northwestern Arizona. Clem surprisingly survived for nearly two decades by eating frogs, minnows, and rabbits. When the property was sold in 2005, the Phoenix Herpetological Society captured the heavily malnourished, 400-pound alligator and moved him to a sanctuary. While he lived in Arizona, he did not wash down a desert storm wash.
2. Escaped or Dumped Exotic Pets
On very rare occasions, Arizona wildlife officials have captured small alligators in residential areas. For example, a two-foot alligator was once found sitting under a running lawn sprinkler in a Phoenix front yard. These are always cases of people keeping illegal exotic pets and either losing them or intentionally releasing them when they get too large or aggressive.
If anyone has any info on the ELFRIDA sighting in the pic below feel free to comment or give us an update of real or not.

SSVEC CEO JASON BOWLING TALKS ABOUT THE NEW PROPOSED SPACE X DATA CENTER AND WHAT IT MEANS FOR COOPERATIVE MEMBERS....
According to application documents it could ultimately grow into a 6-gigawatt data center campus on approximately 747 acres along U.S. Highway 191. This would be the largest of its kind in Arizona.
The proposed campus would include nine computing buildings, each approximately 493,000 square feet, along with electrical infrastructure, cooling and battery yards, and an operations building.
Construction could employ approximately 5,500 workers at its peak. Once fully built, the project is estimated to support approximately 1,000 permanent operations, security, maintenance and contractor positions.
The proposal also describes approximately $3.6 BILLION in applicant-funded transmission and substation improvements in Cochise County through an electric energy services agreement involving the applicant, SSVEC and AEPCO.
According to the application, the facility would use dry cooling with no cooling towers. Estimated water consumption at full build-out is approximately 7 to 10 acre-feet annually, which the application compares to the water use of roughly 20 to 30 Arizona homes.
The proposal states that no new groundwater well would be constructed and groundwater would not be used for industrial purposes.
Because of the project’s proximity to the Willcox Playa, the application also outlines measures intended to address wildlife and bird impacts, including bird-safe glazing, shielded lighting, wildlife-friendly fencing, bird flight diverters on certain overhead lines and environmental monitoring.
IMPORTANT: The information regarding the project’s size, construction, water use, employment, infrastructure and environmental measures reflects what is currently proposed in the submitted application. It does not mean every component has received final approval or will ultimately be constructed as proposed.
CoolFMLive is continuing to gather information regarding SpaceX’s involvement in the project and will provide additional reporting as more details are confirmed.

As Space X puts forth their initial plans for a data center in Cochise County we thought it would be good to inform you just what a data center is for⬇️
Data centers serve as the core physical foundation of the digital world, acting as central hubs that store, process, and transmit the data powering daily business, technology, and personal services.
Key reasons for their importance include:
• Powering Everyday Digital Services: They process requests for email, streaming, online banking, and social media instantly.
• Supporting Business and the Cloud: Companies rely on platforms like AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure to host critical databases, run software, and facilitate remote work.
• Enabling Artificial Intelligence (AI): They provide the massive computing power (via specialized GPUs) and infrastructure required for AI models and machine learning.
• Underpinning Critical Infrastructure: They serve as the backbone for healthcare systems, emergency services, banking, power utilities, government operations, and schools.
• Centralizing Security and Reliability: They secure digital assets in climate-controlled, high-security facilities with robust backup systems and firewalls.
• Driving Economic Impact: Their development can create jobs, attract business investment, and generate millions in revenue for local communities.
As highlighted in a recent Forbes article, What Is A Data Center And Why Are They Suddenly Everywhere?, the rapid expansion of these facilities is primarily driven by the massive scale of soaring AI and cloud demand. For instance, if you comment on this article, a data center is needed to process it. Simply put, if you want your way of life and how you use technology to continue, you need data centers.
The debate and concern from many on data centers is how they are constructed and how water, noise and electricity usage will affect those around a center. We will do our best to keep you informed on all your concerns on this project.

‼️ADDITIONAL FELONY SEXUAL ASSAULT CHARGE FILED AGAINST ARIZONA DPS TROOPER IN COCHISE COUNTY‼️
COCHISE COUNTY, Ariz. (November 4, 2026) — An Arizona Department of Public Safety (DPS) trooper arrested following an incident on Sunday, November 1, is now facing an additional felony charge after investigators submitted further evidence for prosecutorial review.
According to an update released by the Cochise County Sheriff’s Office on Tuesday, November 3, 35-year-old Aiden Rosebeck has been charged with Sexual Assault involving a Vulnerable Adult, a Class 2 felony.
Following Rosebeck’s initial arrest, detectives continued their investigation and submitted additional evidence to the Cochise County Attorney’s Office. After reviewing the evidence and circumstances surrounding the incident, the additional charge was filed.
According to the Sheriff’s Office, Rosebeck was in the process of being released from custody on November 3 after posting bond on his original charge.
The original bond was set at $10,000, with a 10% secured payment requirement, meaning Rosebeck paid $1,000 to secure his release.
As he was being released, the additional felony sexual assault charge was filed.
During his initial appearance on the new charge, Rosebeck was released on both the original charge and the additional Class 2 felony charge under the same bond amount, according to the Sheriff’s Office.
Cochise County Sheriff Mark Dannels publicly expressed frustration with the court’s decision, raising concerns about the bond amount in relation to the seriousness of the allegations.
“When such a low bond threshold is set with the actual secured payment of only $1000, this is a failure of the court,” Dannels stated.
The sheriff also acknowledged the independent role of the judicial system while emphasizing his department’s responsibility to investigate allegations thoroughly and pursue accountability regardless of an individual’s position or profession.
The Cochise County Sheriff's Office - Mark J. Dannels Sheriff says it will continue working with the Cochise County Attorney’s Office as the case moves through the criminal justice system.
Investigators have indicated that additional information will be released when appropriate and when doing so will not compromise the ongoing investigation.
Authorities are asking anyone with additional information about this case, or anyone who believes they may have experienced suspected wrongdoing involving Rosebeck, to contact the Cochise County Sheriff’s Office at 520-432-9500.
IMPORTANT: All charges are allegations. Rosebeck is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.

UPDATED INFORMATION ABOUT TONIGHTS DATA CENTER MEETING AT COCHISE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
CoolFM has received the below notice from Tombstone Resources regarding tonight's meeting pertaining to the proposed SpaceX data center next to the Apache Generating Station in Cochise.
Here is the notice:
SpaceX will host a community town hall on Wednesday, November 4, at 6:00 p.m. at Cochise Elementary School to share information about the proposed supercompute project in Cochise County, answer questions, and hear directly from local residents.
Because seating capacity is limited, priority for attendance will be given to residents living closest to the proposed project site, followed by other Cochise County residents.
We recognize the significant community interest in this project and are committed to making the discussion as accessible as possible to the local community, prioritizing opportunities for the residents nearest the project to participate. Our goal is to ensure those most directly impacted have an opportunity to be heard and engaged in the conversation.
We look forward to an informative, respectful, and productive discussion with the community.

🎓 THREE SIERRA VISTA SCHOOLS EARN TOP “A” RATINGS — DISTRICT CELEBRATES ACADEMIC SUCCESS!
SIERRA VISTA, Ariz. — There’s plenty to celebrate in Sierra Vista classrooms! The Sierra Vista Unified School District (SVUSD) is recognizing some exciting academic achievements following the release of Arizona’s 2025–2026 school letter grades.
Three of the district’s five current schools earned an “A” rating, including two schools that improved their grades from the previous year!
🏆 A-RATED SCHOOLS:
* Buena High School — A ⬆️ Improved
* Pueblo del Sol Neighborhood School — A ⬆️ Improved
* Huachuca Mountain Neighborhood School — A Maintained
The district’s other current schools received the following ratings:
* Town & Country Neighborhood School — B
* Carmichael Neighborhood School — C
The results represent an encouraging milestone for the district, reflecting the dedication of students, educators, school staff, and families working together to support academic success.
💬 “We have so much to celebrate across Sierra Vista Unified School District,” said Superintendent Terri Romo.
Romo praised Buena High School and Pueblo del Sol for advancing to A ratings, while recognizing Huachuca Mountain for maintaining its A. She emphasized that these accomplishments reflect the hard work and commitment of the entire school community.
A LOOK AT THE BIGGER PICTURE
Arizona’s school letter grades are based on several measures, including student achievement, academic growth, and other indicators of school performance.
District officials also emphasized that while these ratings are important, they represent just one measure of success. The relationships, learning experiences, and opportunities students receive every day are equally important.
As part of the district’s recent consolidation, three former campuses also received final ratings: Village Meadows earned a B, Joyce Clark Middle School received a C, and Bella Vista received a D.
Sierra Vista Unified School District #68 says it remains committed to improving academic performance, supporting teachers, strengthening family partnerships, and ensuring every student has the resources and opportunities needed to succeed.
👏 CONGRATULATIONS, SIERRA VISTA!
A special congratulations to the students, teachers, administrators, support staff, and families at Buena High School, Pueblo del Sol, and Huachuca Mountain for their A-rated achievements!
And recognition to educators and students throughout the district who continue working toward academic excellence.
Great schools help build strong communities, and these achievements give Sierra Vista something to celebrate!

ELECTION 2026 UPDATE: ARIZONA PROPOSITIONS 318 AND 319 PROJECTED TO PASS — UPDATED STATEWIDE RESULTS
ARIZONA — Updated results from the November 3, 2026, general election show Arizona voters supporting two statewide ballot measures addressing school athletics and facilities, as well as automated traffic enforcement cameras.
Both propositions have now been reported as passed by election results sources, although the vote totals remain unofficial pending final certification.
PROPOSITION 318 — SCHOOL SPORTS AND FACILITIES
Proposition 318 establishes additional restrictions on participation in school athletics and the use of certain school facilities based on biological sex as recorded on an individual’s original birth certificate.
The measure requires schools and athletic associations to restrict access to sex-designated restrooms, locker rooms, and other private spaces according to the measure’s definition of sex. It also expands restrictions on participation in sex-designated school sports.
A YES vote supports implementing these requirements, while a NO vote supports maintaining existing law.
UPDATED STATEWIDE RESULTS:
* YES: 1,096,104 votes (58.2%)
* NO: 786,262 votes (41.8%)
Status: Reported as passed.
PROPOSITION 319 — TRAFFIC CAMERA RESTRICTIONS
Proposition 319 places additional restrictions on automated traffic enforcement systems, including speed cameras and red-light cameras.
The measure generally restricts the establishment of new photo enforcement systems and requires local voter approval for qualifying existing systems to continue operating, with renewed approval every 10 years.
A YES vote supports these restrictions, while a NO vote supports retaining existing law.
LATEST REPORTED STATEWIDE RESULTS:
* YES: 1,052,008 votes (59.2%)
* NO: 724,143 votes (40.8%)
Status: Reported as passed.
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
Although both propositions have been reported as passing, election officials must complete the remaining ballot tabulation and canvassing process before the results become official.
The passage of a proposition does not necessarily mean its provisions take effect immediately. Implementation is governed by applicable effective dates and legal requirements.
CoolFMLive will continue monitoring statewide election results and providing updates as additional information becomes available.

ELECTION 2026 UPDATE: SIERRA VISTA MAYORAL RACE — LATEST UNOFFICIAL RESULTS
SIERRA VISTA, AZ — Updated unofficial results from the November 3, 2026, general election show minor changes in the vote totals for Sierra Vista’s mayoral race as Cochise County continues its election reporting process.
According to the latest figures published on the Cochise County election results dashboard, Carolyn Flowers currently has the highest number of votes, followed by Mark Rodriguez and Brandon Martin.
LATEST UNOFFICIAL RESULTS — SIERRA VISTA MAYOR
* Carolyn R. Flowers: 5,122 votes (40.07%)
* Mark Rodriguez: 4,311 votes (33.72%)
* Brandon Martin: 3,310 votes (25.89%)
* Unofficial write-in votes: 28 (0.22%)
* Unassigned write-in votes: 13 (0.10%)
A total of 12,784 votes are currently reflected in the mayoral contest.
Flowers holds an 811-vote lead over Rodriguez, while Martin trails Rodriguez by 1,001 votes.
WHAT HAS CHANGED?
Compared with the previously reported figures, Flowers and Martin have each gained one additional vote, while Rodriguez’s total remains unchanged.
The results dashboard continues to show 17 of 17 Sierra Vista precincts reporting.
However, this does not necessarily mean all eligible ballots have been counted. As previously reported, Cochise County’s second preliminary results upload included verified early ballots and Election Day totals from 8 of the county’s 18 Vote Centers.
Additional ballots may still be processed and included in subsequent updates.
RESULTS REMAIN UNOFFICIAL
The current standings are preliminary and subject to change. The reporting of all precincts does not constitute official certification of the election results.
CoolFMLive will continue monitoring updates from Cochise County election officials and providing the latest information as it becomes available.
