🇮🇹 A New Italian Tradition is Coming to Sierra Vista! 🍕

A dream years in the making is almost ready to welcome the community.

Nonni’s Copper Forno Italian Restaurant, Bar & Pizzeria is preparing to open at 185 E. Wilcox Drive, bringing authentic Italian cuisine, one of the largest copper fornos in Southern Arizona, a beautiful indoor dining room, and an inviting outdoor patio.

While the final touches are completed and indoor dining approval is finalized, Nonni’s Taste of Sicily International Catering will continue serving the community through catering and will soon begin offering takeout from the new location.

The menu will feature homemade pasta, cheese wheel pasta, Osso Buco, Steak Pizzaiola, Chicken Parmigiana, grilled chicken cutlets, authentic East Coast-style pizza, toasted Italian sandwiches, fresh bread, traditional desserts, and much more.

Owner Gaetana’s recipes are inspired by her mother and generations of family tradition rooted in Sicily, New York, and Germany. After her parents settled in Cochise County following their move to Fort Huachuca in 1981, the family made this community home. Now, after years of serving others in the medical field, she’s turning a lifelong dream into reality.

“This restaurant has truly been a labor of love,” Gaetana shared. “We’ve taken our time because we believe in doing things the right way, and we can’t wait to welcome everyone through our doors.”

She also expressed heartfelt thanks to her husband, Pancho, her children, extended family, Mr. Politi and his hardworking team, and everyone in the community whose encouragement and support helped make this dream possible.

Congratulations to the entire Nonni’s family! We can’t wait to see the doors open and welcome another outstanding locally owned business to Cochise County.

City Seeks Feedback On Bella Vista Neighborhood Sector Plan 📝

The City of Sierra Vista is seeking resident feedback on its Bella Vista Neighborhood Sector Examination plan.

The City, in partnership with the Neighborhoods Commission, has begun working with local residents to create a series of online interactive maps and supporting plan documents for the City’s residential neighborhoods. These maps and plans are meant to make it easier for people to find information about current conditions and future development in the City’s neighborhoods, subdivisions, and commercial areas. The first area being covered is the Bella Vista Neighborhood Sector.

The City held a meeting on March 30, 2026, to show the online web app and gather residents’ feedback about the neighborhood’s current conditions and future growth. After that meeting, City staff put together a plan document that includes the community’s input along with earlier analysis of the area. The plan also lays out goals for future policy, operations, and development.

The City is now asking for more feedback on this supplemental plan, especially on the goals for the future, because it’s important that the next steps reflect the community’s needs and ideas.

“To truly understand the current strengths and challenges of any given neighborhood, the best course of action is to ask the experts: the people who live and work there each day,” Sierra Vista Community Development Director Matt McLachlan says.

Residents can review the plan and offer feedback online by visiting engage.sierravistaaz.gov. Residents can also learn more and offer comments in person at a public meeting on Friday, July 31, at 5:30 p.m. inside the Sierra Vista Public Library’s large meeting room.

For more information or assistance, contact the Community Development Department at (520) 417-4413 or Planning@SierraVistaAZ.gov

‼️BISBEE HOMICIDE CASE ADVANCES; JUDGE FINDS PROBABLE CAUSE ON MULTIPLE FELONY COUNTS ‼️

The homicide case stemming from the death of a man discovered in a desert area behind the Safeway shopping center on South Naco Highway in Bisbee has moved forward in Cochise County Superior Court.

According to information released by the Cochise County Attorney’s Office, a Direct Information has been filed against Miklejon Cory Nelson following a preliminary hearing held in Cochise County Superior Court, Division I.

During the hearing, multiple witnesses testified, and Judge Joel Larson found probable cause to proceed on six felony counts, including:

• First-Degree Murder
• Possession of Dangerous Drugs
• Aggravated Assault
• Mutilation of a Dead Human Body

The charges stem from a homicide that investigators allege occurred on or about July 10, 2026, in a desert area behind the Safeway on South Naco Highway in Bisbee.

According to prosecutors, deputies responded after receiving a report of a deceased man with apparent gunshot wounds whose body had also been burned. During the investigation, neighboring witnesses reportedly provided information regarding the alleged shooting and alleged attempts to conceal the crime. Authorities also stated that suspected methamphetamine was found on Nelson at the time of his arrest.

Following the preliminary hearing, Judge Larson ordered that Nelson remain held without bond pending trial.

An arraignment has been scheduled for Monday, July 27, 2026, in Division I of the Cochise County Superior Court.

The case continues to be investigated by Detective Jesalen Luna of the Cochise County Sheriff’s Office and is being prosecuted by Deputy County Attorney Terisha Driggs, with assistance from Paralegal Anahi Barron.

This case originated from the Cochise County Sheriff’s Office investigation after a deceased man was discovered near a homeless encampment south of Highway 92 in Bisbee. Investigators later identified Nelson as the suspect, and he was taken into custody by Bisbee Police officers later that same evening.

🔗 Original CoolFMLive coverage: www.facebook.com/share/1D5SkDbsSk/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Information for this update was provided by the Cochise County Attorney's Office.

As with all criminal proceedings, the charges are allegations. The defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.

CoolFMLive will continue to follow this case and provide updates as court proceedings move forward and additional verified information becomes available.

🇺🇸 A LIVING HERO IS COMING TO SIERRA VISTA — DON’T MISS THIS HISTORIC MOMENT

Some stories are too important to read in a history book. They deserve to be heard from the people who lived them.

This July, Sierra Vista will have the extraordinary privilege of welcoming 100-year-old World War II veteran Anderson Pollard, a true American hero whose life is woven into the fabric of our nation’s history.

A recipient of the Purple Heart for wounds sustained during the fierce fighting in Sicily, Mr. Pollard served with the legendary 92nd Infantry Division after training right here at Fort Huachuca. More than eight decades later, he is returning to the community where part of his remarkable military journey began.

As part of Buffalo Soldier Days, the City of Sierra Vista will officially proclaim itself “America’s Buffalo City,” recognizing the extraordinary legacy of the Buffalo Soldiers and the generations of Black servicemembers whose courage, sacrifice, and dedication helped shape both our nation and our community.

📅 Saturday, July 25
🕙 10:00 AM
📍 Buena High School

Following the proclamation by Mayor McCaa, attendees will have the rare opportunity to hear Mr. Pollard share his firsthand experiences from World War II—a chance to hear living history from one of America’s Greatest Generation.

The celebration begins the evening before with a special dinner on Friday, July 24, where guests will also have the opportunity to meet and hear from Mr. Pollard.

Hosted by the Southwest Association of Buffalo Soldiers (SWABS), Buffalo Soldier Days is dedicated to preserving the rich history of the Buffalo Soldiers and their lasting impact on Cochise County.

As SWABS President Demetria Warren so eloquently stated:

“If we lose our past, we will have nothing.”

From protecting settlers and mining communities throughout the Southwest to serving with distinction in conflicts across the globe, the Buffalo Soldiers left an enduring legacy of courage, perseverance, and service. Their story is America’s story—and Sierra Vista is proud to help preserve it.

This is more than an event. It is an opportunity to honor a hero, celebrate our community’s military heritage, and ensure these incredible stories continue to inspire future generations.

For additional information about Buffalo Soldier Days, contact Charles Hancock at (520) 226-7453 or c.hancock@cox.net.

Join us as Sierra Vista honors the past, celebrates our heroes, and welcomes home one of the last living members of the Greatest Generation.
