February 14, 1982. Coconino County, Arizona. The decomposing body of a young woman is found in a remote area alongside Interstate 40 and while her exact cause of death cannot be determined, she is believed to be the victim of a homicide. Since all attempts to identify her are unsuccessful, she becomes a Jane Doe and earns the nickname “Valentine Sally”. 39 years later, Valentine Sally is identified as 17-year old Carolyn Eaton, who had run away from her home in Missouri over one month earlier. Shortly before her death, Carolyn was seen at a truck stop with an older man and while he is suspected of being her killer, the man is never identified. On this week's episode of “The Trail Went Cold”, we explore the tragic story of a Jane Doe who got her name back after four decades, but whose murder remains unsolved.

March 15th Court Leader's Advantage Podcast Episode In our last two episodes on mental health and the courts we talked about the fact that traditional criminal case management is not meeting the needs of the people we serve. We must develop a new comprehensive and collaborative model. We need to create a fair and effective caseflow management system that meets the challenges of those with behavioral health needs. There are estimates that up to 70% of the individuals seen in our criminal courts today have behavioral health issues. Currently, state courts do not generally have systems in place to help those with these challenges. This need is made even more urgent with the pandemic and the resulting case backlogs. We must find a new model to strengthen the collaborative court and community response to individuals with behavioral health needs. This month is the third of our five-episode discussion with members of the National Judicial Task Force to Examine State Courts' Response to Mental Illness. Some of the topics we will explore include: · What is this new collaborative model for addressing caseflow management? · What are the four pillars that make up the new caseflow management model? · How can court administrators integrate this new model into a court's existing practices and · What resources are available for us to use now? Our panel today includes: The Honorable Paula Carey is recently retired Chief Justice of the Massachusetts Trial Courts She was appointed Chief Justice of the Trial Court in July 2013 by the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court. Prior to that time, she had served as the Chief Justice of the Probate and Family Court beginning in October 2007.

Chief Justice Carey partnered with the Court Administrator in the oversight of the Massachusetts Trial Court, which is comprised of seven court departments with 385 judges, 6,400 court staff, including Probation and Security, and 99 court facilities. They jointly direct the implementation of Strategic Plan 3.0, which targets priorities such as user experience, judicial excellence, operational excellence and diversity, equity and inclusion. She served on the Council of State Governments Working Group and on Governor Baker's Opioid Task Force and has worked on National Initiatives in the areas of Substance Use disorders and Behavioral Health. Prior to her appointment to the bench in January 2001, Chief Justice Carey was a partner in the firm of Carey & Mooney, PC, where she specialized in domestic relations matters. She has lectured and authored material for numerous publications and educational programs in the area of domestic relations, diversity equity and inclusion as well as substance use disorder and behavioral health both as a practitioner and as a judge.

This exception does not apply to teachers, staff, or other adults in the indoor classroom setting. What does this mean for FUSD?  Since students and staff are required to wear masks at all times while indoors, except while eating and drinking, we will not have to quarantine students who are identified as close/direct contact as long as masks were worn properly while at school. Our COVID support team will be investigating the positive student's movement through the day to determine times when a mask may not have been worn properly.  Unvaccinated students will be required to quarantine if the Coconino County Health and Human Services and FUSD COVID Support Team determines that masks were not worn properly during contact with COVID-19 positive persons.  “Notice of COVID-19 Exposure” notifications will be sent to FUSD families for students in the same class or classes as COVID-19 positive individuals.  This is good news for our students and staff. This will reduce the potential for learning loss and students getting behind in school because of repeated quarantine requirements. We will continue to monitor correct mask wearing in our buildings and will send regular reminders home to families to monitor their student's health each day, and to not send students to school who are sick or who had a direct contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19.  Outbreak Determinations The Coconino County Health and Human Services Department, in coordination with the FUSD COVID Support Team, uses several factors to designate schools as being in outbreak status including the number of positive cases, students quarantining with symptoms and/or pending test results, and students marked absent for illness during a two-week period.  Actions taken by FUSD may include closing the school temporarily for a designated period of time to reduce interactions among students and staff to minimize possible transmission of COVID-19 at the site, and completing enhanced cleaning and air purification.   Decisions to close schools and transition to temporary remote learning are made only when deemed necessary.  Notifications about outbreak designations will be sent to FUSD families via phone, email, and text.  Families and students should be prepared to transition to temporary remote learning with little advance notice, including students taking iPad devices and other needed materials home each day.  COVID-19 Health Metrics and Positive Case Dashboard The Flagstaff Unified School District provides families, team members, and the community weekly updates regarding the overall risk level for COVID-19 and a data dashboard for confirmed COVID-19 cases.  Information is updated each Friday and is available at the FUSD website. Health Metrics:  https://www.fusd1.org/healthmetrics Positive Case Dashboard: https://www.fusd1.org/covid19dashboard Information and Questions Information about our Mitigation Strategies for the 2021-2022 school year are available on the FUSD website:  https://www.fusd1.org/Page/18853.    COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective. Getting vaccinated doesn't just help protect you, it also helps protect those around you who haven't yet been vaccinated including young children. With the FDA-approval of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine, the public can be very confident that this vaccine meets the high standards for safety, effectiveness, and manufacturing quality.  FUSD strongly encourages families, staff and eligible students to get vaccinated as soon as possible. Additional information regarding vaccines and vaccination locations please visit Coconino County website:  https://www.coconino.az.gov/2547/Vaccine-Info  Questions or concerns can be directed to covidhelp@fusd1.org.

She started out with 2 Rental Properties, then built a Custom Home.  She started Flipping Properties with her husband in 2004. They both felt that it is important to get more education and knowledge so they joined AZREIA, one of the best decisions they have made because It has given them the knowledge and networking necessary to involve themselves with all types of Real Estate Investing.  When they started Flipping, they had difficulty getting into Properties quickly with their Real Estate Agent, so they went to Real Estate School in 2011 and had her License in 6 weeks.  Linda currently helps Investors, Buyers, and Sellers find Properties for Flips, Rentals, and Owner Occupied and Assisted Living Homes.  They have Flipped nearly 45 Properties over the years while working a regular job.  They have invested in Wholesaling, Flipping, Rentals, Multifamily, and Assisted Living Homes.  Linda currently attends the Phoenix Real Estate Club and Assisted Living Homes Subgroup to further education and networking.  She loves helping Investors get started and working in the Real Estate Market.   Stefanie Womble started investing in real estate in May 2019. The desire to start began with listening to the audiobook Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki. Education by listening to various podcasts like BiggerPockets along with joining networking groups like AZREIA took off from there. She owned half of a duplex in Flagstaff, AZ, and started renting it out as an STR in June. Another home was purchased in June. Her husband fixed up the home and by mid-Dec it was listed as an STR. Throughout her education, Stefanie grew interested in assisted living homes. She started meeting many others interested in the same and asked AZREIA if she could start a subgroup to continue with education and networking. Most of 2020 were spent working with Coconino County to get approval to open her first assisted living home. By Nov 2020, we had our third STR. In 2020, a substantial income was earned as a side hustle while working a W2 job, which has continued into 2021.

Overcoming The Dangers Of Distracted Driving Welcome to PRIMA'S 2020 Podcast Series! On this first episode of the year we have Margaret Penado, the risk manager for Coconino County in Arizona, she will be discussing how to overcome distracted driving by explaining some history on how individually driven transportation has evolved over the years. The reality is that as technology has progressed our awareness of how powerful the cars and vehicles we operate on a daily basis has declined. Yes, they are not a horse pulling a buggy like in older days but they are not perfect and often have mechanical issues, the operators (drivers) of these vehicles large and small on the road dont necessarily have to 'do' as much which increases the dangers for themselves and others on the road.

October 31, 1988. Hidalgo County, New Mexico. 29-year old David Stone, a stock market analyst from California, is seen wandering through the desert and exhibiting strange behaviour. Two days later, David's abandoned car is discovered next to the highway, but David himself is nowhere to be found. Search efforts uncover a number of cryptic clues David left behind to suggest he was on some sort of spiritual journey related to the New Age movement. Over three years later, David's remains are discovered in the desert, but the exact circumstances of his death remain unknown. May 28, 1995. Coconino County, Arizona. 28-year old Devin Williams, a long-haul truck driver from Kansas, recklessly drives semi-trailer truck into Tonto National Forest before it becomes stuck in some mud. After Devin exits the truck, witnesses see him displaying bizarre behaviour before he takes off into the woods and disappears. Devin had been in the midst of transporting a shipment from California to Kansas until he drove over 60 miles off-course for unknown reasons. Two years later, Devin's skull is discovered near the bottom of a cliff, but no one can figure out his cause of death or why he wound up in the forest to begin with. In this month's first Halloween-themed episode of “The Trail Went Cold”, we explore two odd cases in which a victim went missing after acting strangely before they were subsequently found dead.

Jack Butala:                            Jack Butala with Jill DeWit. Jill DeWit:                               Happy hump day. Jack Butala:                            Welcome to our show today. In this episode Jill and I talk about, hey buy like Jack and sell like Jill. Jill DeWit:                               This is going to be good. Jack Butala:                            This is a really good opportunity to make fun of each other. Jill DeWit:                               Totally. Jack Butala:                            Before we get into it, let's take a question posted by one of our members on the landacademy.com online community, soon to be called Land Clique. Jill DeWit:                               Land Clique. Jack Butala:                            Clique, French-y. Jill DeWit:                               I'm going with the French thing since we all know it's C-L-I-Q-U-E, cool. All right, David asked, "How do you decide, or should you vary, lot acreage or narrow assessor values with a big county to get Real Quest Pro to populate a manageable count to scrub down from?" What this means is, Real Quest Pro, which is what we use for getting our data, it's the best data out there for all of our data for our mailers. Jack Butala:                            We're a licensed provider of Real Quest and Core Logic. Jill DeWit:                               Yes, we are. We're very happy. Jack Butala:                            They let us. Jill DeWit:                               They let us. Jack Butala:                            We have millions and millions and millions or records Jill DeWit:                               Of stuff that we've done with them, yeah. It's amazing. We obviously know what we're doing, we obviously teach people how to do it and it's perfect. Anyway, when you pull up a county, it's a pretty big list, so David is asking some questions about, how do I get this down to a manageable list to mail offers? I'm not going to mail 130,000 offers from everybody in the county. No, you're not going to do that. Jack Butala:                            Here's what David's really getting at. Jill DeWit:                               Yep. Jack Butala:                            If it's a huge county in square mile size, like Coconino County, Arizona, versus a super tiny little one like some of the counties back east, the larger the size the more opportunity there is for variance in price. Right? The more you have to put into really studying when you do your mailers to get offers out, let's say you've got a [universe 00:02:19] of five acre properties in Coconino County is like thousands and thousands of properties and in a county back east it might be 500 properties. What he's asking is, can you really seriously offer all the same amount, or do you offer it based on assessed value and the whole thing? Here's my answer. The size doesn't matter. Size matters to Jill, but size doesn't matter. We'll talk about that in a minute. Jill DeWit:                               Don't worry, I won't let it go there. Jack Butala:                            She is so blushing. Jill DeWit:                               Oh my gosh, I can't believe that came out. Jack Butala:                            She's blushing. Jill DeWit:                               I'm like, "Don't worry, you don't have to turn this off for the people who have kids in the car." That is hilarious. I won't let it go there, right Jack? Jack Butala:                            Yeah. Jill DeWit:                               Wow, okay. That woke me up. Jack Butala:                            I know, there's a pretty substantial delay.

Jill DeWit:                               Land Clique. Jack Butala:                            Clique, French-y. Jill DeWit:                               I'm going with the French thing since we all know it's C-L-I-Q-U-E, cool. All right, David asked, "How do you decide, or should you vary, lot acreage or narrow assessor values with a big county to get Real Quest Pro to populate a manageable count to scrub down from?" What this means is, Real Quest Pro, which is what we use for getting our data, it's the best data out there for all of our data for our mailers. Jack Butala:                            We're a licensed provider of Real Quest and Core Logic. Jill DeWit:                               Yes, we are. We're very happy. Jack Butala:                            They let us. Jill DeWit:                               They let us. Jack Butala:                            We have millions and millions and millions or records Jill DeWit:                               Of stuff that we've done with them, yeah. It's amazing. We obviously know what we're doing, we obviously teach people how to do it and it's perfect. Anyway, when you pull up a county, it's a pretty big list, so David is asking some questions about, how do I get this down to a manageable list to mail offers? I'm not going to mail 130,000 offers from everybody in the county. No, you're not going to do that. Jack Butala:                            Here's what David's really getting at. Jill DeWit:                               Yep. Jack Butala:                            If it's a huge county in square mile size, like Coconino County, Arizona, versus a super tiny little one like some of the counties back east, the larger the size the more opportunity there is for variance in price. Right? The more you have to put into really studying when you do your mailers to get offers out, let's say you've got a [universe 00:02:19] of five acre properties in Coconino County is like thousands and thousands of properties and in a county back east it might be 500 properties. What he's asking is, can you really seriously offer all the same amount, or do you offer it based on assessed value and the whole thing? Here's my answer. The size doesn't matter. Size matters to Jill, but size doesn't matter. We'll talk about that in a minute. Jill DeWit:                               Don't worry, I won't let it go there. Jack Butala:                            She is so blushing. Jill DeWit:                               Oh my gosh, I can't believe that came out. Jack Butala:                            She's blushing. Jill DeWit:                               I'm like, "Don't worry, you don't have to turn this off for the people who have kids in the car." That is hilarious. I won't let it go there, right Jack? Jack Butala:                            Yeah. Jill DeWit:                               Wow, okay. That woke me up. Jack Butala:                            I know, there's a pretty substantial delay.

Jack Butala:                         Jack Butala with Jill DeWit. Jill DeWit:                            Hey. Jack Butala:                         Welcome to our show today, this Tuesday. In this episode Jill and I talk about real estate agent side business. This is may or may not be ... The perfect real estate agent side business or any side business for that matter. Hey, before we get into it, Jill, let's take a question posted by one of our members on the LandAcademy.com online communities free. Jill DeWit:                            Okay, Trevor asked: "Have you ever negotiated with a county on a large group of over the counter properties that they owned? I know, send a mailer. I stay up every night looking at these properties that are so cheap, but I want them cheaper." That's so funny. Jack Butala:                         I have a lot to say about this. Go ahead, Jill. Jill DeWit:                            No, dive in. Jack Butala:                         First of all, Trevor's awesome. He's been with us for awhile. Trevor, you're kind of breaking the rule about the mailers and thank you for addressing it at the end. You generally want to send mail out so that when you wake up in the morning, you're opening the mail and you're doing deals. You don't want to spend a lot of time looking for deals, you want them to come to you. If you're a regular listener to the show, you already know that. Have I ever negotiated with a county? Yes. 9.9 times out of 10, it's useless. It's not because the person on the other end of the line that you're negotiating with doesn't love what you're saying, they do love what you're saying. It's just so hard to get anything done with any government. The county is a government. They have to go through all kinds of procedures and stuff. The first thing they do is they go to the Board of Supervisors and they bring it up. The Board usually ... Most counties that have a Board, they're unpaid or they're paid very little. They meet once a month and they go through an agenda. This gets on next month's agenda:"There's this guy that keeps calling, his name is Trevor, and he wants to buy everything but for a dollar a property." Almost always they say no because the first thing they do is they look up the rules. There's nothing there that states that or they look at the state statutes and the statutes say, "You must follow this procedure to sell these back tax properties." That doesn't involve negotiation so 9.9 times, it doesn't work. That being said, there was one time that I did this and it worked really well. I didn't negotiate the price, I negotiated a release. I said, "Yep, I want every single thing on your tax role except these four properties." It was in northern Arizona I did this a lot of years ago. "I would like to buy them 15 per month." They said fantastic. We followed all the protocol, you're not adjusting the price. We're closing this thing down. I think there was 150 properties. It was Coconino County a lot of years ago. I tried it again after that and they wouldn't do it. We had completed the deal. I'm not saying don't try, but I really think that your time would be much better spent sending mail out. The best deals, by the way, the best fantastic deals are tax liens. We shouldn't even be talking about this today. The list that you're looking at probably, in some states, are tax lien deals. You can buy the lien and then go through the 90-day foreclosure process or whatever it is in that state. Call the person and say, which is what we do all the time ... We buy the tax lien for 50 bucks and then send a letter to the person that says, "We just bought this tax lien. We don't want to go through this foreclosure. We don't want any trouble.
