epic county showdown

By AAliyAh MontoyADouglas Dispatch

Love is in the air, and it has been for the last 53 years for Luciano and Mar-tha Gonzalez, who celebrat-ed their wedding anniver-sary last month.

The pair grew up as neigh-bors, knowing of each other but never really meeting unti l a fter they gradu-ated from Douglas High School in 1958. Luciano was on leave from the U.S. Navy in Alaska when he asked Martha out on their first date, a night of dinner and dancing.

He then went back to Alas-ka, and then to Japan for a whole year, during which time the couple correspond-ed back and forth. After yet another year away in Tucson, Luciano returned to Douglas, began work-ing with Phelps Dodge, and asked Martha to marry him in November of 1961.

After a rather short en-gagement, the couple mar-ried on Jan. 20, 1962. They started a family in 1963 with the birth of their first son, Luciano. Their daugh-

ter Ana followed in 1964, Christina in 1966, and Raul in 1975. They currently have 13 grandchildren, three great-grandchildren, and one more on the way.

The family has always lived in the same home, which they had built them-selves. At the entrance, there is a small sign that reads “An old fisherman lives here, with the catch of his life.”

“It has always been a com-fortable town,” Luciano said of raising a family in Douglas. “I could find my kids anywhere.”

Each of their children attended Loretto Catho-lic School, Douglas High School, and are graduates of the University of Arizona.

“There has been both tears, and happiness to see my kids’ success,” said Lu-ciano. “They’ve had some setbacks in their lives, and we’ve always been here to help them, although they have what it takes to keep going themselves.”

McSally stops in DouglasBy Bruce WhettenDouglas Dispatch

U.S. Rep. Martha McSally was back in Cochise Coun-ty Saturday for the fourth time since taking office in January.

McSally began the day at-tending a military retiree annual event at FortHu-achua where she addressed about 300 retirees.

She then came to Douglas where she met with two dif-ferent groups before moving on to Willcox for an evening meeting.

The first meeting McSally

had in Douglas was with members of the Port Author-ity, the Mexican Consul-ate and some local elected officials.

The meeting focused more on port of entry, its possible expansion and cross bor-der traffic, Douglas Mayor Danny Ortega Jr. said.

The second meeting was with a group of people who are concerned about immi-gration issues, the mayor said. It’s a faith based orga-nization that approached

APS to address council By Bruce WhettenDouglas Dispatch

Officials with Arizona Public Service will address the Douglas City Council at tonight’s city council meet-ing which is scheduled to start at 6 p.m. in the city hall council chambers.

The presentation by Mike Smith will deal with the re-cent power outage that hit Douglas on Jan. 30 as well

as upcoming reliability proj-ects for not only Douglas but also Cochise County.

Another item on tonight’s agenda will be the third and final reading of an or-dinance making Airport Park a smoke free park. If approved, the ordinance will become official in 30 days.

Students hold meeting at City HallBy AAliyAh MontoyADouglas Dispatch

The fifth grade Student Council from Clawson Ele-mentary held a special mock city council meeting, at City Hall on Feb. 4.

Kevin Ybarra played the role of Mayor, Emilie Valen-zuela was Ward 1, Lynette Escalante Ward 2, Laritza Martinez Ward 3, Katelyn Wilkinson Ward 4, Aleque Torres, 3rd grade represen-tative, was Ward 5, and Ben-jamin Sandoval, 4th grade representative, was Ward 6.

M ayor D a n ny O r t eg a Jr., and Councilmembers Margaret Morales, Ben La Forge, Patricia Lopez, Luis

Greer, and Fernando Be-tancourt assisted the stu-dents while they conducted their meeting.

Item number one on the agenda was the discussion/decision on approval of hav-ing a no-kill animal shelter for the City of Douglas. Fifth grader Alicia Guerrero took the stand to discuss her opinion on the subject.

“I think it’s sad because they don’t see it coming,” Guerrero expressed. “I don’t think it is right to put ani-mals asleep for a very long time. Although some of them are mean, that does not mean we have to kill them. Animals deserve to live.”

“ I t h i n k w e s h o u l d h ave a no -k i l l a n i m a l s h e l t e r b e c a u s e a n i -mals help us live,” said Councilmember Martinez.

The reading was approved unanimously by the Coun-cil, who all agreed kill shel-ters are sad.

Next was the discussion/decisions on a proposed caf-eteria food change to a vari-ety of fast food menu options.

“I would like to change the lunch menu,” fifth grade student, Diego Andrade ad-dressed to the council. “I would like to receive a larg-er variety of lunches and

DFD seeks info on firesBy Bruce WhettenDouglas Dispatch

Douglas Fire Department officials are reporting they are starting to have a series of trash bin fires.

The latest fire took place this past Thursday evening in a concrete trash receptacle at the Family Dollar on 11th and San Antonio.

carol Perez“i will be out of town spend-ing the day with the special people in my life enjoying a movie, shopping and a nice dinner with my son and his dad.”

richardo cruz“My girlfriend and i are going to Sierra Vista to have a romantic dinner.”

the Catholic Church, married all four of his children and recently, his oldest grandson, Luciano IV, at the St. Augusta Cathedral in Tucson.

He studied to be a deacon for four years in 1977, after almost losing his life during a horse ac-cident. Luciano claims that after not being able to work for a year, and feeling horrible, the power of prayer healed him, inside and out. In 1982, he became a Deacon, and plans to retire after 33 years, while continuing to stay active with the church. He also retired from working as a Chaplain for 10 years at the prison.

The couple has endured many trials over the years, includ-ing the illness of their children. Their eldest son has undergone three surgeries and a brain tumor in the last 18 years. Their youngest daughter has suffered from health issues as well. With their faith, prayers, and love, the family has overcome these obsta-cles, and forever remain positive.

“Actually getting married will always be a favorite mem-ory,” Martha said. “The birth of each of our children, are the real highlights.”

Luciano can recall the single best piece of marriage advice he has ever received. An elderly man once congratulated him on his engagement, and told him.

“Never go to bed, and don’t ever let the sun rise, without saying you’re sorry to each other.”

“You have to work at it,” said Martha. “You have to have a real love there, in order to

make it last. Be ready to forgive each other.”

Luciano agreed that the secret to a long and happy marriage is the ability to forgive.

“Love is forgiving, it’s part of being married,” Luciano said. “You’re going to have to forgive each other for love is merciful. When I got up to the altar, and made that promise, I kept that promise that I made to God, and I’ve never broken it.”

Martha can recall the most ro-mantic thing her husband has ever done for her.

“On my 60th birthday he sur-prised me,” she said. “He got the kids together to make a big din-ner for me, and as we were eating, three singers came to the door. He had hired a trio to serenade me, it was really nice.”

“The most romantic thing she’s ever done for me, was marry me.” Luciano said.

This year for Valentine’s Day, the couple plan on keeping to their simple tradition of flowers and candy.

These days, a lasting love may seem out of reach to some, or even incomprehensible, the Gonzales’ keep Corinthians 13 in mind.

“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, al-ways trusts, always hopes, and always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophe-cies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.”

Fourth grade heroes help a school in needBy AAliyAh MontoyADouglas Dispatch

After learning about Martin Luther King Jr., Stevenson El-ementary fourth grade teacher Meghan Gulley and her stu-dents decided to hold a fundrais-er for students in Agua Prieta.

On Friday, Feb. 6, Gulley and helpers sold Hot Cheetos and cheese for $1. Proceeds went to-wards purchasing and deliver-ing a heater for a school in need across the border.

“The kids wanted to do some-thing to make the world a bet-ter place,” Gulley said. “I had a friend who was a teacher in Agua Prieta at a school that doesn’t have heat, I told the kids and they wanted to a fundraiser selling their favorite snack.”

The students put together all of their own collected money to-wards purchasing the Hot Chee-tos and cheese. They also wrote letters to teachers and students beforehand, to promote their

sale. Each bag of Hot Cheetos sold had and individual hand-written thank-you sticker on it.

“We wanted Martin Luther King to be proud of us,” said student David Valencia. “We wanted to sell Hot Cheetos so we could raise money to buy heat for a school in Mexico, it makes me feel proud.”

The students made it very clear that their project made them feel “happy,” “cool,” and like heroes.

Meghan Gulley’s fourth grade students at Stevenson elementary put their money together to purchase hot cheetos to sell in a fundraiser that would benefit a school without heat in Agua Prieta.

Cochise College aviation to upgrade fleet with RedHawk aircraftsubmitteD

AU S T I N — Re d H awk Aero, a subsidiary of Red-bird Flight Simulations, an-nounced this week that Co-chise College has ordered six RedHawk aircraft in a move to upgrade and modernize its training fleet.

Students enrolled in the upcoming fa l l semester will utilize the new Red-Hawk aircraft while train-ing for Private Pilot, In-strument and Commercial Pilot Certification in Co-chise College’s professional pilot program.

“The selection of RedHawk aircraft for our training fleet, offers us flexibility and cost savings” said Belinda Burnett, Director of Avia-tion Programs and Chief Flight Instructor for Co-chise College. “With a field elevation of more than 4,000 feet, performance is vital to us. In our test f lights, the RedHawk demonstrated im-proved climb performance to our existing f leet while burning less than 5 gallons per hour.”

Redbird began develop-ment on the RedHawk proj-ect in 2012 with a goal of creating a standardized training aircraft that is af-fordable, operationally eco-nomical and technologically advanced. The result is a remanufactured Cessna 172, equipped with a Jet-A burn-ing, FADEC managed, Conti-nental engine, and advanced avionics.

“The combination of the Continental CD-135 twin-turbo diesel engine, and a new three-bladed, compos-ite Hartzell propeller offers outstanding performance at a fraction of the hourly

cost of a traditional Cessna 172,” explained RedHawk VP of Operations Darren Bien. “The addition of state-of-the-art Garmin avionics offers student pilots hands-on ex-perience with modern glass-panel systems without sacri-ficing the training benefits

inherent with traditional steam gauges, making the RedHawk the perfect train-ing airplane.”

Cochise College’s new air-planes will join a fleet of six other RedHawks currently operating in training pro-grams around the country.

snacks, for example, veg-gie burgers, salads, and occasiona l ly mac a roni and cheese.”

Andrade went on to sug-gest different snack op-tions, such as yogurt, ap-ples, plums, pears, cranber-ry juice, more apple juice, and nice refreshing water.

“These are just a few things I would like to change,” said Andrade. “Some kids may not agree with me, so remember, this is based off of my points of view on the situation.”

“I think we should have fast food,” Councilmember Martinez said. “But with a second plate of vegetables.”

“I think fast food will give us calories instead of energy.” Councilmember Wilkinson said.

The motion passed, 6-1, with Wilkinson opposing.

The Council then dis-cussed the request from students for a dress code change. Clawson’s uniform policy requires all students to wear a green or white collared shirt, and denim or neutral pants.

“I don’t think we should allow dress code change,” said Councilmember Es-calante. “Some kids can, and will, be bullied on the playground.”

“I think we should have a different dress code,” Counci lmember Torres said. “We can just put a little more color to our dress code.”

A request to speak on the subject was given by fifth graders, Kamila Barrios and Alan Samaniego.

“I would like to inform you that not everybody is happy with the school uniforms,” said Barrios. “We would like you to take them away so we can wear whatever we want. That would make every-thing easier. Why waste money on something we can replace with something more economic?”

“Me and most of the school want a dress code change,” Samaniego said. “Without a dress code we can come to school more comfortable and we can wear whatever we want.”

The motion ultimately failed its passing, 4-3, op-posed by Councilmembers Va lenzuela, Esca lante, Martinez, and Wilkinson.

The last item approved, was the discussion/deci-sion for an increase to recess time.

“I think we should in-crease the time of recess,” said Councilmember Es-calante “So we can have all of the fast food burnt off.”

The motion carried 6-1, w i t h C o u n c i l m e m b e r Sandoval opposing.

A report was given by Councilmember Martinez announcing that the Claw-son basketball tournaments will begin in three weeks.

Once the meeting ad-journed, Mayor Ortega Jr., and the official coun-cilmembers shared a brief summary of their time as part of the council, and why they chose to take that position.

“I joined the council be-cause I wanted to learn the process of the City Govern-ment,” Councilmember Mo-rales said. “I also wanted to be a part of making deci-sions to make our commu-nity a better place to live.”

According to Student Council Sponsor and third grade teacher, Naideny Urquijo, the students pre-pared for two weeks prior to the meeting, they dis-cussed topics they wanted to incorporate into the agenda, and conducted re-search on their own. She also mentioned that this was Clawson’s first time conducting a mock-council meeting, something that was originally suggested by Principal Jeremy Long, as a way to get his students involved in the community.

“It was a really good ex-perience,” said Urquijo. “Hopefully we can keep on doing it. This really helps and motivates the kids. When they go back to school and share this with ever yone, it a lso makes the younger kids want to be a part of the Student Council.”

On behalf of Principal Long, Clawson Elemen-tary would like to thank The Mayor and Council for hosting an excellent learning experience for their students.

TODAY’S ANSWERS

Dear Savvy Senior,Is there a good rule of thumb on who should buy a long-term care in-surance policy? My wife and I have a few assets we’d like to protect but we hate the idea of paying expensive monthly premiums for a policy we may never use. — Planning Ahead

Dear Planning, There are two key factors – your fi-

nancial situation and health history – you need to mull over that can help you decide if buying a long-term care (LTC) insurance policy is a wise decision for you and/or your wife. Currently, only around 8 million Americans own a policy. Here’s what you should know.

LTC Insurance?As the cost of LTC (which includes

nursing home, assisted living and in-home care) continues to skyrocket, it’s important to know that most people pay for LTC either from personal sav-ings or Medicaid when their savings is depleted, or through a LTC insurance policy. National median average costs for nursing home care today is over $87,000 per year, while assisted living averages $42,000/year.

While national statistics show that about 70 percent of Americans 65 and older will need some kind of LTC, most people do not need to purchase a LTC insurance policy.

In fact, according to a recent study at the Boston College Center for Retire-ment Research only 19 percent of men and 31 percent of women should actu-ally get one.

The reasons stem from a range of

factors, including the fact that rela-tively few people have enough wealth to protect to make purchasing a policy worthwhile. Seniors with limited fi-nancial resources who need LTC turn to Medicaid to pick up the tab after they run out of money.

Another important factor is that most seniors who need LTC only need it for a short period of time – for ex-ample, when they’re recovering from surgery. For those people, Medicare covers in-home health care and nurs-ing home stays of 100 days or less fol-lowing a hospital stay of more than 3 consecutive days.

So who should consider buying a policy?

LTC insurance policies make the most sense for people who can afford the monthly premiums, and who have assets of at least $150,000 or more that they want to protect – not counting their home and vehicles.

Another factor to weigh is your personal health and family health his-tory. The two most common reasons seniors need extended long-term care is because of dementia and/or disabil-ity. And, almost half of all people who live in nursing homes are 85 years or older. So, what’s your family history for Alzheimer’s, stroke or some other disabling health condition, and do you

have a family history of longevity? The U.S. Surgeon General offers a free tool at familyhistory.hhs.gov to help you collect, organize and evaluate your genetic risks.

You also need to factor in gender too. Because women live and average of 5 years longer than men, they are at greater risk of needing extended LTC.

LTC Policy ShoppingAfter evaluating your situation, if

you’re leaning towards buying a LTC policy, be sure to do your homework. The cost of premiums can vary greatly (ranging anywhere between $1,200 and $8,000 per year for a couple) depend-ing on your age, the insurer, and the policy’s provisions. To help you find a policy, get a long-term care insurance specialist who works with a variety of companies. See aaltci.org to locate one. Also shop insurers like Northwestern Mutual and New York Life, who work only with their own agents.

If you want to save money, find out if your state offers a LTC partnership program (see aaltci.org/partnership). Under these programs, if you buy a long-term care policy approved by your state Medicaid agency, you can protect an amount of assets from Medicaid equal to the benefits that your policy pays out.

DEAR DOCTOR K: I’m in my 60s. Whenever I have a cold, I reach for whichever medication treats the most symptoms. My wife says that’s not safe, even if the medication is available over the counter. Is she right?

DEAR READER: Your wife is correct. Clearly, you should listen to her more often.

Painkillers, decongestants, antihistamines and combination remedies — even those available over the counter — can sometimes cause health problems. They can interact with other drugs and can interfere with existing conditions.

When choosing a cold medication, read the list of active ingredients. Older adults in particular should pay close attention to the following ingredients:

• DECONGESTANTS narrow blood vessels, which can help reduce inflammation in your nasal passages.

The risk: Decongestants are also stimulants, which means they can increase your blood pressure. They can increase your heart rate and cause anxiety or insomnia. These drugs can cause problems for

people with heart disease, high blood pressure or diabetes. That’s because increased blood pressure and heart rate, and anxiety, put a strain on the heart. So do poor quality sleep and diabetes.

What to do: Check with your doctor or pharmacist before using them.

• ACETAMINOPHEN relieves pain and reduces fevers.

The risk: Too much acetaminophen (more than 3,000 to 4,000 milligrams per day) can harm your liver. Alcohol can increase the harmful effect.

What to do: Do not take more than the recommended dose listed on the product. Also, don’t take high doses for several days. If you’re taking a combination drug, check the ingredients for acetaminophen. If it’s listed, don’t take any other drugs that contain acetaminophen. And don’t have more than one alcoholic drink a day while taking acetaminophen.

• ANTIHISTAMINES decrease the production of histamine, a substance that leads to runny nose, watery eyes and sneezing. They can make you sleepy and are frequently found in

nighttime cold remedies to help you sleep.

The risk: Older adults don’t break down this medication well. If you take it at night, you might feel groggy and confused even hours later. This can lead to falls and injuries when you get up to urinate in the middle of the night, or in the morning on awakening.

What to do: Avoid medications with antihistamines, unless your doctor says they’re OK.

Finally, a word about combination medicines. These drugs contain several medications in one dose. They may include a painkiller, a cough suppressant and a decongestant. But you may not need all of the medications. Treating symptoms you don’t have exposes you to medicine you don’t need. That unnecessarily puts you at risk for side effects. To minimize the risk, choose cold remedies that treat only the symptoms you have.

Even over-the-counter cold remedies have risks

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21)You will not get the whole story unless you ask direct questions. Refuse to pay for some-one else’s mistake. Get the facts straight before you confront friends, neighbors or col-leagues.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)Your track record speaks volumes about you and your talents. You can achieve your goals by forming an alliance with someone from your past. Don’t let responsibilities or inse-curities hold you back.

blue Devils edge bisbeeBy Bruce WhettenDouglas Dispatch

EL F R I DA — T he Va l ley Union Blue Devils hosted their cross county rivals, the Bisbee Pumas, Friday in a classic bas-ketball showdown that featured two 20 plus win teams.

The Blue Devils, 24-2 and ranked No. 2 in the state in their division, led early, trailed brief-ly in the second half and then came away with a 67-60 win in a game that had a playoff atmo-sphere as fans from both teams were cheering all 32 minutes.

“What an intense game; great atmosphere. It felt like the battle for county supremacy,” Valley Union head coach John Batty said. “(It was) a great Senior Night and a great crowd.”

The Blue Devils led for 28 of the 32 total minutes the game was played. Valley Union came out strong and was getting some calls jumping out to a 12-3 lead four minutes into the game and an 11 point lead at the end of the first quarter.

Arthur Cummings’ three-pointer three minutes into the second quarter gave Valley Union a 28-12 lead; its largest lead of the night.

Over the next few minutes Bis-bee rallied with a 15-3 run pull-ing within four but Cummings’ three just as time expired gave the Devils a 36-27 lead at the half.

The half seemed to take Valley out of its offensive rhythm while Bisbee found its as the Pumas opened the first four minutes of the second half with a 17-4 run turning what had been a 16 point deficit at one point into a 44-40 lead at the midway point of the third quarter.

Valley eventually tied the game at 46 before Vidal Urtu-zuaztegui nailed a pair giving the Devils a 48-46 lead heading into the fourth.

Urtuzuaztegui and Cummings each hit threes in the final quarter as Valley increased its

lead to six.Bisbee was down three when

Cummings hit three straight baskets giving the Blue Devils a 66-57 lead with just under a min-ute left in regulation.

“We couldn’t have asked for a better start when we got the

tip and Junior (Gamez) went strong to the rack,” Coach Batty said. “Our strategy was to take it right at them all game long, and for the most part, we stuck with it. The three

Lady Bulldogs maul Buena on Senior NightBy Bruce WhettenDouglas Dispatch

With the post season playoffs definitely in their future the Doug-las Lady Bulldogs made a statement in their final home game of the season last Thursday night in a 56-25 rout over the Buena Lady Colts in the DHS gym.

The Lady Bulldogs came out very aggres-sively from the start and between the three point bombs of seniors Veronica Barraza and Nancy Rodriguez and the tenacious Douglas

defense the Lady Bull-dogs shutout Buena the entire first quarter tak-ing a 21-0 lead.

Buena finally scored its first points of the night just under a min-ute into the second quarter cutting Doug-las’ lead to 24-2.

B a r r a z a’s b a s k e t minutes later pushed the Lady Bulldogs lead to 29-2.

The score was 31-2 midway through the second when Buena went on a mini run just

Apaches drop 4 to Western NevadaBy MAtt hicKMAnWick NeWs service

LAS VEGAS — The Cochise College baseball team, ranked No. 3 nationally in the pre-season, salvaged a four-game set at Western Nevada College on Sunday, beating the Wild-cats 7-3.

Nick Borowski, ordinarily the team’s starting first base-man, carried the brunt of the pitching load on Sunday, going 8 innings and allowing three runs on eight hits, before giv-ing way to Austin Cooper and former Buena standout Juan Aguilera in the ninth.

Shortstop Louis Boyd went 2 for 3 with a solo home run to drive the Cochise offense. Dar-ick Hall went 2 for 4.

The Apaches, who dropped the first game of the four-game set on Friday, and the first game on Saturday, in extra in-nings, improved to 5-3 on the season with the win and re-turn home this weekend for a doubleheader with Thompson Rivers Community College in a doubleheader starting at noon, and on Saturday, host East-ern Arizona in a conference-opening twin-bill doubleheader starting at noon.

charges drawn by Isaac (Lopez) in the first half were epic. We were able to get them into early foul trouble.”

The coach said Cummings was huge all game long as he refused to back down.

“He wasn’t worried about get-ting his shot blocked or about getting hit, and he did it all game long,” the coach said.

Cummings finished with a team high 26 points and 11 re-bounds while Urtuzuaztegui and Gamez each had 16.

Bi sb e e’s S p enc er S chu l -ler, scored 30 points to lead all scorers.

“It truly was a great team ef-fort,” Coach Batty said of the win.

The Blue Devils grab the No.1 seed in their section and will face No. 4 seed St. David tonight at 7

p.m. in Willcox while Pima faces Desert Christian at 5:15 p.m.

The winners will face each other Saturday for the sectional title setting up another pos-sible showdown between Valley Union and Pima. Pima upset Valley several weeks ago in Elf-rida snapping the Devils 18 game winning streak.

On Feb. 3 the Blue Devils host-ed the Willcox Cowboys and came away with a 84-42 win.

Valley led 28-14 at the end of the first quarter and 44-31 at the half. A strong second half where the Devils outscored the Cow-boys 40-11 gave the Devils an insurmountable lead.

Valley had five players score in double figures this game. Cum-mings had 22 points, Lopez 20, Urtuzuaztegui 18, Gamez 12 and Jaret Luzania 10.

The win gave Valley Union the regular season Section II championship.

When play resumed in the third Douglas outscored Buena 14-7 taking a 49-19 lead into the fourth quarter.

“The girls totally dominated this Buena squad bringing our record to 20-5,” Coach Hill said after the game. “We will now prepare our team for the regional tournament and pos-sible state games. The gym was packed for my girls. We appreci-ate all the fans that came out to see this awesome team perform. Thank you!”

No. 1 team in the state.Douglas trailed 18-5 at the end

of the first quarter and 29-11 at the half. In the second half the Lady Bulldogs found their of-fensive rhythm and outscored the top ranked team 31-21 pull-ing within five at the buzzer falling 49-42.

Barraza scored 23 points this game, Zamora had nine and Ce-cilia Gonzalez contributed six.

Coach said he was very proud of his team for the way they bat-tled back against the No. 1 team in the state, at their place, who is also undefeated.

“To play the No.1 team in Di-vision II the way we did was a blast,” he said.

Sectional play began Tuesday night at Cholla High School in Tucson. Douglas, Pueblo, Sa-huaro and Cienega all made it into the tournament. Pueblo faces Sahauro in one game while the 21st ranked Lady Bull-dogs have a rematch with No. 1 and still unbeaten Cienega in the other.

Mayor reports on state of DouglasBy AAliyAh MontoyADouglas Dispatch

During the Chamber of Commerce monthly meeting on Feb. 5 at the M e x ic a n C o n s u l at e , Mayor Danny Ortega Jr. gave a report on the state of Douglas.

During the report Orte-ga presented some of t he on goi n g ac t ion s in the city, and where the city is at today on different projects.

He spoke mostly about Douglas’ primary proj-ect, the new commercial port of entry, which has been estimated to cost $47 million as of the most recent revisions. On Dec. 23 an application was sent to the Department of Homeland Security, uti-lizing the public-private partnership method for funding. According to the Mayor, they were ex-pecting 100 applications, and ended up with only seven, three of which will be funded.

“We have a very good chance, I believe, getting our port project funded partially through the Fed-eral Government.” Orte-ga said.

He went on to explain that Mexico has already put everything into place on their side of the border. They have permission from the Mexican Gov-ernment and are waiting for Douglas to sign docu-ments, and get a Presiden-tial Permit started.

“I congratulate them,” the mayor said. “They want it done, they see the need for the new port of entry. It’s a real necessity, for health, security, and economic reasons.”

Investments will also be made at the current port of entry, allowing north and south crossing traf-fic to be expedited. There

will also be modifications made to the Mexican Ad-uana. Long lines should go away once the improve-ments are made, and heavy traffic will be re-moved from the city lim-its and placed on James Ranch Road.

He also mentioned that the number of people crossing into Douglas has gone down signifi-cantly since Sept. 11, 2001, when eight million peo-ple were reported cross-ing per year. Today, only 3.8 million are reported crossing per year.

“Seven point three mil-lion dollars are spent my Mexican consumers in Arizona,” said Ortega. “We’re working with the State Department on see-ing how we can ease the Visa restrictions for Mexi-can citizens to just come here and visit.”

The Mayor, and Con-sul Jorge Ernesto Espejel Montes, are currently planning a trip to Mex-ico City and Washing-ton D.C., where they will promote the new port of entry, and the impor-tance of it, and Douglas, to Arizona.

In other projects, Orte-ga Jr. also mentioned the sale of the city’s share of the Government build-ing, receiving a $400,000 surplus. After several meetings, the Council has decided to put those funds toward making capital improvements to city parks, streets, and some renovations to local businesses.

Also discussed was the ranking of Douglas as Nerd Wallet’s Top Ten Best Cities for Millennial Job Seekers in Arizona. Douglas ranked number six in the top 10, ahead of Tucson, Sierra Vista, Sa-huarita, and Prescott, for

the city’s low cost of rent, proximity to Mexico, and charming character of the community.

Lastly, the Mayor spoke about the power outage the city faced at the end of last month after its single power line from Bisbee failed, due to shortage after rain.

“It’s just unacceptable for us to be in this posi-tion,” Ortega said. “We’re going to talk to the Arizo-na Commerce Authority to see if we can somehow work out a deal where we can purchase power from Mexico, which will more than likely take Presidential action.”

Following the Mayor’s report, the Chamber of Commerce proceeded to discuss upcoming city events, including the an-nual Miss Douglas Days pageant. After seeing that out of town schooling is common with the current allowed age group, ages 18 to 21, it has been decided that the new Miss Doug-las Days must remain local, and between ages 16 and 18.

The Miss Douglas Days pageant will be held one month prior to the Doug-las Days city event, so the chosen winner can be pre-pared in advance.

On Sunday, April 19, the Culpepper & Merriweath-er Circus will be perform-ing two shows in town. Tickets will soon be avail-able for purchase. Skeeter the Clown will be visiting local schools one week in advance, along with the Greater Douglas Cham-ber of Commerce, sharing the history of clowns, and promoting the circus.

For more information on upcoming events, visit the Greater Douglas Chamber of Commerce on Facebook.

“ T h e f l a m e s w e r e knocked down quickly,” King added. “Most of that time was spent waiting for the backhoe to come so that we could make sure that we got the fire com-pletely out.”

King said the DFD has had several fires in trash receptacles and piles in that area in the last year.

“There was actually a fire in the same trash bin the day before,” King added. “These fires are considered suspicious. Given the number of times that we have had fires in the area it is likely that someone has seen some-thing. Maybe they didn’t see anyone actually light the fire, but maybe they just saw something that didn’t look right at the time.”

Anyone with informa-tion regarding the fires in the areas around 11th and San Antonio or any other fires, may call 911 or 417-7550 and talk to the police.

for its third reading deals with the rezon-ing of some property located from Seventh to Ninth Street along Pan American Ave.

There will be two sec-ond readings for ordi-nance one of which is regarding the cemetery fees while the other estab-lishes a 2.5 percent conve-nience fee for credit card payments made by resi-dents to the city.

Several resolutions are up for their readings. One of the resolutions deals with the acceptance of funds for the Doug-

las rides program while another authorizes the Douglas Housing Corpo-ration to begin the appli-cation and sale process of PioneerVillage.

The third resolution authorizes the formation of a nonprofit municipal property corporation to assume, manage and operate the municipal golf course on Leslie Canyon Road.

During the consent por-tion of the agenda three local residents are expect-ed to be named to serve on two separate commit-tees within the city.

Tonight ’s meeting, which had 19 items on the agenda, is open to the public.

Son Paises celebrates anniversaryBy AAliyAh MontoyADouglas Dispatch

Tickets sold out for what was a magnificent celebra-tion of Ana Altamirano’s One-Year Anniversary of her boutique, Son Paises. Nearly 100 guests attended the spe-cial luncheon and fashion show at the Gadsden Hotel on Saturday, Feb. 7.

Entertainment was provid-ed by singer, Shani Zepeda, and the Douglas High School Ballet Folklorico. A special appearance and presenta-tion was made by the Douglas China Poblanas; Miss China Poblana Alyssa Maddux, Ju-nior China Poblana Laritza Martinez, Little China Pobla-na Naomi Carmona, and Tod-dler China Poblana Mariana Lopez Garcia.

Guests also enjoyed special raffles, and giveaways of gift certificates, coupons for the boutique, hand-made jewelry, and purses.

A fashion show featuring garments from Altamirano’s boutique was conducted by models: Elizabeth Becerra, Samantha Gonzales, Leslie Griffin, Patricia Leyva, Alys-sa Maddux, Chantal Otero, and Yahaira Othon.

Altamirano’s daughter, Nubia Romo, shared how in-credibly proud and excited she is for her mother.

“This was a dream of my mother’s, she real ly en-joys what she does, and that makes me so happy,” Romo said. “I’m glad she had such a great turn out today, and we look forward to celebrating again next year.”

Son Paises, located at 555 10th Street, is “the boutique that feels like home” offer-

ing Altamirano’s collection of timeless garments, unique jewelry and accessories, vegan leather hand bags, Mary Kay makeup, and more. The store opened on Feb. 1, of last year.

hi m a nd asked for a meeting with the congresswoman.

Bot h meeti ngs i n Douglas were closed to the media. The Dis-patch had a chance to meet brief ly with the congresswoman and the mayor before she left for Douglas.

“I think there is a lot of opportunity here in Douglas,” McSally said in the interview. “We’re in a really strategic loca-tion to take advantage of the proximity we have with Mexico and the ability we have to grow the economy and pro-vide more opportunity based on cross border trade.”

The congresswoman said it was good for her to be able to further de-velop her understanding of some of the challeng-es and opportunities that are in Douglas.

McSally said the re-cent visits are basically a continuation of the visits and conversations that she had during her campaign.

“This is just the begin-ning of a long relation-ship,” she said. “I need to keep my ear to the ground and keep strong relationships so I can adequately represent and advocate.”

McSally said she’s happy with the rela-tionship she’s starting to have with Mayor Ortega.

“I appreciate his lead-ership and his vision for Douglas,” she said. “I look forward to working with him on things that I can do at the federal level.”

The congresswoman said she wanted to be sure people knew she considers it an honor to represent Congressional District 2.

Oscar Vildosola was at the first meeting rep-resenting both the Port Authority as well as his business Osvil Interna-tional, a customs broker which is the largest firm in southern Arizona.

Vildosola said he was very pleased by what he heard from the con-gresswoman and feels the meeting was very productive.

“I feel like we have somebody who is inter-ested in what is going on down here and is going to listen to us,” he said. “She has expressed an interest in what is going on not only in Doug-las but also southern Arizona.”

Raul Montano, owner of Border Mart, was at the second meeting. He said he felt that meeting was very productive and McSally is interested in what is happening on the border.

Officials with the Mex-ican Consul said they felt their meeting with the cong resswoman was very successul in that they had a chance to hear the legislator points of views on the contribution Mexicans make to the economy not only in the state of Sonora and Arizona but in all states of this country.

“There are a whole lot of important issues fac-ing our country right now,” the congress-woman said. “I want to be a strong voice and a leader on the things that matter to us. The things that I have been focusing on the first month are things that I will continue to focus on which are economic opportunity and safety and security.”

Mayor Ortega said he felt the two meetings the congresswoman had in Douglas went well.

“We had some diverse groups talking to her today and I think she spent time listening to the groups,” he said. “She is taking our mes-sage forward. She is the voice of Douglas and the surrounding area. I think it’s important she understand who we are.”
