Good morning, Arizona. Here’s what our reporters are working on and what you should know about what’s happening across the state before you start your day.

Arizona’s 10 most fearsome insects and reptiles

Thirteen species of rattlesnakes live in Arizona, more than any other state, according to Arizona Game and Fish. If you hear the warning rattle, it is just that — the snake is telling you not to come any closer. Stay calm and give it a wide berth. Move away from the rattler with slow, non-threatening, non-sudden movements.

Today in history

Here are just some of the events on this date in the past.

•	On this day in 1894: President Grover Cleveland issued a proclamation pardoning bigamists, adulterers, polygamists and unlawful cohabitants, primarily targeting members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons). This act restored their civil rights and property, which had been taken away during the government’s efforts to eliminate polygamy in the Utah territory.
•	In 1957: The “Little Rock Nine” began their first full day of classes at Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas, under the protection of the U.S. Army’s 101st Airborne Division. Arkansas Gov. Orval Faubus had called out the National Guard to prevent the students’ entry, which prompted President Dwight D. Eisenhower to intervene by federalizing the National Guard and sending in federal troops to ensure the students’ entry.
•	In 1965: Satchel Paige, 59, pitched three scoreless innings for the Kansas City Athletics against the Boston Red Sox, becoming the oldest pitcher in Major League Baseball history. He needed just 28 pitches to face 10 batters over the three innings, retiring all but one.
•	In 1970: “The Partridge Family” premiered on ABC, immediately following “The Brady Bunch.” The show, inspired by the real-life musical family the Cowsills, quickly became a hit and launched star David Cassidy into teen idol status.
•	In 1992: NASA launched the Mars Observer, a robotic space probe designed to study the Martian surface, atmosphere, climate and magnetic field. Unfortunately, communication with the spacecraft was lost on August 21, 1993, just before it was to enter Mars’ orbit.
•	In 2018: Bill Cosby was sentenced to 3-10 years in state prison for drugging and sexually assaulting Andrea Constand in 2004. However, after serving nearly three years, his conviction was overturned by the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, and he was released.
