by the many businesses thathave populated it. In the com-ing December edition, we willcontinue to feature other localbusinesses.

BY DAVID RAMIREZ MATUS

NOTE FROM THE EDITOR

In the late 1800s two young men, Manueland Leocadio Escalada embarked on a long voy-age across the seas looking for the land of oppor-tunity. The travelers were only boys, Manuelwas only 15 and Leocadio was 13. Their family,which included eight siblings, suffered hardtimes and were encouraged by their parents toacross the vast ocean to seek their own fortunes.Penniless and exhausted, the boys entered theAmericas, ambitious and ready for what mightcome their way.

The Escalada brothers soon found work asclerks in a mercantile business in the bordertown of Brownsville, Texas. After twelve years ofworking, they had saved enough money to fi-nance their own mercantile business. The broth-ers packed up and moved to Lochiel, Arizona,where they first established their business. Atthe time there was free commerce between Mex-ico and the United States and cattle rancherspopulated the border along Arizona and Sonora.The mercantile business thrived in the northernparts of the state, but the Escalada brotherswhere the first to establish themselves in the un-tamed southern parts of Arizona.

Native American raids were still a commonoccurrence at the time but the Southern PacificRailroad decided that they would lay their railsinto Mexico through the town of Nogales,which later sparked a boom in commerce andthat lead to the opening of many industries thatare still relevant today. Word soon reached thebrothers in Lochiel of the plans that Southern

Pacific Railroad would traverse Nogales andthey realized that the business they sought wasthere, so once again they packed up they madethe trek to establish their mercantile store, Escal-ada Brothers in Nogales in 1892.

With visions of the old west, one can onlyimagine what the mercantile store was like. Thelocation provided all the dry goods that ranchersand farmers needed like feed for the cattle andhorse. The ambiance of the store conjured thesmells of the old west; the fragrance of newleather and freshly grown tobacco. Familiesflocked to the local store to get the items thatthey needed for their day-to-day lives. Ranchers,farmers and locals ran into each other there andit ended up becaming a social hub where localswould go to get their items and neighbors couldget reacquainted.

The business at that time was located righton the international border in the historic Mor-ley Avenue area. This location allowed familiesto shop for their goods at Escalada Brothers,walk down Morley and continue on with theirshopping at the various stores and maybe evenwalk over to Mexico for lunch at the “La Cav-erna” restaurant.

By the year 1913, the Escalada Brothersbegan to sell wholesale dry goods to Mexico viathe railroad. At this point, they were providingsupplies to the large Sonoran ranches owned bythe likes of the Eliases, Camous, Cubillas, Es-calantes, Romeros and Sotos and alsoto the Ari-zona ranchers like the Parkers, Hathaways,Titcombs, Sorells, Vails, Noons, Clarks and oth-ers. The store was stocked with everything the

locals needed and if they didn’t have it, it wasmost likely that people would not be able to findit elsewhere.

With their success, Manuel Escalada re-turned to Spain and in 1899 he married andbrought home Domitila Revuelta. Manuelpassed away in 1927 and his wife, Domitila,bought out the business from her brother-in-law,Leocadio, who longed for his home country andreturned to Spain. From 1927 until 1934, Domi-tila owned and ran the business with the help ofher three sons, Jose (Don Jose), Manuel andLouis. The three boys had worked all their livesin the family business and decided to purchase itfrom their mother in 1934. By 1973, Don Josebought out his brothers, Manuel and Louis. In1988, Tila, Joe and Simon took over the businessafter the death of their father, Don Jose.

Throughout its time in Nogales, the busi-ness has been situated in four different locations,two of which were right along the Internationalborder. The two other spots were located in theEscalada Plaza in Nogales, where their head-quarters is located besides the Escalada ranch.The business has weathered the test of time andhas witnessed many historic events such as thetime when Mexican President Alvaro Obregonmade his was through the streets of downtownNogales.

Walk into the Escalada Brothers storetoday and it’s like walking into a piece of history.The Escaladas are dedicated to providing thesame service for their customers as it was doneone hundred years ago. Ranchers still walk in thestore looking for the day-to-day needs a rancherof today might need, and because of its long his-tory, most shoppers are known on a first namebasis, something that is pretty much unheard ofthese days. The store is now ran by Tila, Joe andSimon Escalada and it continues to keep its tra-ditions. Tila actively operates the store and theranch. She received a degree in business fromEast Central State College in Oklahoma in

The Lions Clubs from Nogales, Arizona andNogales, Sonora along with the Camp Lowell Sur-gery Center in Tucson, Arizona coordinated Opera-tion See on September 10, 2011 to help low incomeindividuals from Mexico receive life changing eye sur-gery, which they would not be able to afford on theirown. The Lions Club has been providing these oper-ations for over 30 years and they go to extraordinarylengths to make them happen.

Nogales Lions Club member James K. Clark ischairperson for the project and helps organize theproject from start to finish. The project requires thepatients to undergo an economic study and back-ground check to ensure that there is a need for finan-cial help and to be able to be cleared by HomelandSecurity in order to cross into the United States to getthe needed surgery.

“These are the poorest of the poor, manytimes these individuals have no documentation at allso we try to clear them with Homeland Security sothey can enter the country to receive the operation,”said Clark. “We go through a long and rigorous roadto conduct the surgeries. We need to clear the facili-ties, get the physicians, volunteers and clear the pa-tients so that we are ready to go when we set thedate.” The patients are transported from Mexico at5am, so they could be at the facilities by 8am and havethem prepared for the surgeries.

Surgeons, nurses and Lions club members vol-unteer their services and time to perform the opera-tions. Additional equipment was donated along withmedications and supplies. In total, Dr. Jack Aaronperformed 15 cataract surgeries with intraocular im-plants.

Staff and Lions club members were at the facil-ity helped set up the surgeries, assisted with the pre-operative patient examinations, provided patient care,assisted and cleaned the rooms between surgeries.

The patients, who were all from Nogales,Sonora, varied in age and were very happy and appre-ciative of the surgeries that they had received. “I amtouched and very happy. One patient expressed thatshe will be able to see her grandchildren for the firsttime in her life. This is what it’s about, making a dif-ference in people’s lives,” states Clark.

Our dental office has been declared a FLOSSFREE ZONE. No longer will we burden you withoutrageous flossing requirements. No more goopystring, snapping between your teeth. No more get-ting busted at your cleaning visits. Our intentions aregood. Dentists want you to have healthy gums butunless we clean BETWEEN our teeth, gum diseasewill take hold. Gums will begin to bleed. Your amaz-ing breath will move loved ones a few paces back. Andthe jawbone holding your teeth will literally dissolve.This generates business for dentists, but it’s not sogood for your own health, self-esteem, and pocket-book. As you may know, I'm big on prevention. I’mconstantly looking for those things that make it easierto keep our teeth and mouth healthy. Here are 3things that can make a difference.

1. Toss the string floss. Substitute instead, a

WATER FLOSSER, a new name for an old device.Water Pik changed its marketing to better describewhat its oral irrigator really does. And that's to blastout the bugs between your teeth with a jet stream ofwater. Studies show that flushing beats flossing by anincredible 93%. We personally have seen teeth,scheduled for extraction; recover completely after pro-fessional treatment and twice a day WATER FLOSS-ING. Be sure to direct the water jet (90 degrees)perpendicular to the tooth. Don't blast down into thecrevice as this will only force bacteria deeper!

2. The SONICARE ultrasonic tooth brush.The bristles vibrate at a very high frequency creating amicroscopic tsunami, exploding any plaque and bacte-ria in its path. Katrina in a brush. Again, the researchshows significantly better plaque removal than withmanual brushes.

3. XYLITOL is a natural sugar that cavity-forming bacteria cannot digest. Remember, cavitiesare caused by a bacterial infection. Studies prove thata 3 to 6 month Xylitol program can actually starve thebad bugs in your mouth, eliminating the infection, thesource of cavities. CARI FREE has developed 100%Xylitol based oral care products. They feature chew-ing gum, candy, toothpaste and mouth rinse. Westock CARI FREE in the office. SPRY is another100% Xylitol product line manufactured by Xlear and

with similar products. Proper usage consists of at least5 applications daily: 1. MORNING: brush with aXylitol tooth paste. 2. AFTER BREAKFAST: chew 2pieces of Xylitol gum or mints. 3. AFTER LUNCH:chew 2 more Xylitol products. 4. AFTER DINNER:chew 2 more pieces. 5. BEFORE BED: brush againwith Xylitol toothpaste. Xylitol can be safely used byinfants. It doesn't raise the glycemic index so diabeticscan safely use it with approval of their physician. Xyli-tol is found in fruits, vegetables, and our own bodiesand has no toxic side effects. I love this stuff!

80 to 90% of bad breath originates from in-fected gums, and decayed teeth. Mouthwashes, sugarmints, and regular chewing gum only add a cloyingsweetness to bad breath. What’s worse, odor causingbugs love the sugars found in conventional mints andgums, which contributes to even more tooth decayand gum disease, and of course malodor. If none ofthis applies to you, great! But if you're part of theother 73% of the population, then some of this infor-mation should be useful. Dentists are always harpingon flossing…it’s a genetic thing. OUR re-program-ming will be a challenge. You, on the other hand,should have a much easier transition.

One of the most notable features of Hotel Fray Marcosis the Sky Room. The Sky Room is famous for it’s beautifulviews located on the top floor of the hotel. It was known forthrowing distinguished New Year’s parties, playing host to fa-mous artists and musicians and only gained popularity as theyears passed.

Businesses along the Mexican side of the U.S.-Mexicanborder have come together to form a committee in an effortto try and bring foreign tourism back into the area. Businessessuch as dentists, restaurants and Mexican shops (curios) arecoming up with strategies and goals to boost the traffic in thearea. The name of the committee is WELCOME TO NO-GALES or BIENVENIDO A NOGALES in Spanish.

A website was created where all the participating busi-nesses are listed and people can look up the products and serv-ices these businesses have to offer. The purpose of the websiteis to provide people with as much information as possible,such as phone numbers, addresses, how to make reservationsand other relevant information about the participating busi-nesses. It would also provide a schedule of transportationservices.

As of right now, transportation services are offered fromGreen Valley to Nogales, Sonora but there’s hope of expand-ing these services to Tucson and Sahuarita. If your visit toNogales, Sonora is for a medical or dental reason, you mightqualify for a gas mileage deduction if you visit a WELCOMETO NOGALES certified business. For a low price, they alsooffer tour guides with security provided by local law enforce-ment and ends at a restaurant that is certified by the WEL-COME TO NOGALES group. The tours are coordinatedwith the Department of Economy and Tourism.

The participating businesses are encouraged to providecostumers with discounts, gifts and souvenirs when you visittheir place of business.

BUSINESS OF THE MONTH

Border Echo 201122

The realty business has had their hard-ships these past couple of years due tothe current economic crisis, which

means that the American dream of owning a homehas been put on hold. Locals are losing theirhomes, cars and jobs, which has resulted in astream of abandoned homes throughout SantaCruz County. Despite the current economic situa-tion, hope remains in tact as people adjust to a newway of life and fight to achieve the Americandream.

Acclaim Realty in Nogales, Arizona openedits doors in August of 2010. It celebrated its firstfull year and the fact that it has managed to survivein the middle of these tough times. A collaborativeeffort that began in 2009 by a group of agents whonot only shared a vision to pursue their venture butalso had over 30 years of experience in the business.Acclaim Realty has opened their doors and hascontinued to succeed in such tumultuous timesconnecting locals with their piece of the Americandream.

“What we pride ourselves with is service.Talking to people regardless of how busy we are,

and after the sale we don’t forget about our clients.It’s the follow up with the buyers that we committo,” says Aracely Stout, Designated Broker for Ac-claim Realty Group. “Right now we have severalgreat properties on sale. We don’t specialize in highend properties, but it seems that lately we have hadgood success with this market.”

Over the past year, Acclaim Realty has set

out to establish a presence in Santa Cruz Countyand has had success building a good reputationwith the community. “Our goal is to sell morehomes and hire some more agents to present Ac-claim Realty. We worked really hard to build thereputation of the company, so we are really de-manding about who we want to represent us,”Stout said.

Another area in which Acclaim Realty pridesitself in is education. Every agent at Acclaim Re-alty takes realty educational classes to keep ahead ofthe curve and always be on the forefront of the realestate business and better provide its customerswith the best possible deals. Stout is currently thepresident of the Santa Cruz Board of Realtors andhas been involved with the group for the past nineyears. “I wanted to be involved with the group be-cause of the great opportunities I had to learn andeducate myself and our agents in the realty busi-ness. It has been extremely rewarding, especiallybecause of the fact that the real estate market wehave today is completely different than the marketwe saw three years ago, and the opportunity tolearn has been invaluable.”

GRAND OPENING FORCPLCS’ NEW HOME

Nestled in the majestic Rio Rico moun-tains, you’ll find the Esplendor Resortat Rio Rico. Locals and tourists alike

can indulge in these magnificent amenities likeworld-class golf on the Robert Trent Jones Sr.championship course, tennis on four lighted courts,or hanging poolside basking in the Arizona sun.It’s maginificant views and accomodations make itan ideal place for anyone to enjoy. For an excep-tional dining experience look no further than theSan Cayetano Restaurant and the San CayetanoSaloon and Bar.

The Old West décor with breathtaking viewswas the set for the fairly popular PBS cooking

show, Prime Grill where it featured some of thefine dining options that are available at these loca-tions. For lunch, head over to the San CayetanoSaloon and Bar where you can enjoy a deliciouslunch where the atmosphere and décor are pictur-esque.

The lunch menu features starters, sand-wiches, salads, and lunch combinations. The

Southwestern Chipotle Chicken Caesar salad is anideal candidate for those who love the sweet andspicy taste of chipotle chilies. The salad is made ofromaine lettuce with a chipotle infused Caesardressing drizzled with grilled corn niblets, dicedred bell peppers, and grilled chicken breast. Ifyou’re looking for something a little more filling,the lunch combination is highly recommended.The lunch combination is made up of a small cupof soup, half a salad and half a sandwich. Not onlyare both these choices light and filling but they’realso very delicious.

If you’re in the mood for a sandwich, theBistro Tender Steak sandwich features a deliciouscut of steak and it’s served with caramelized sweetonions, jack cheese on a Kaiser roll. This sandwichis tasty and filling but will not leave you comatoseafter eating it, which is always a plus when having aquick meal or traveling. The menu also includesother lunch specialties that feature regional cuisine.There’s the enchilada style chimichanga that ismade of shredded beef or chicken rolled in a flourtortilla topped with a red chile sauce with a side ofrice and beans. Another well-known favorite is thePrickly Pear baby back ribs, which are slow roastedpork ribs smothered in prickly pear barbeque saucethat is made from the fruit of local cactus.

The true gem and an extraordinarily succu-lent item is not a lunch or dinner menu but isproudly featured on the dessert menu. This deli-cacy is a Mexican style flan with its mouthwateringrich custard topped with a soft caramel layer whosedecadence is fit for a king. Locals have enjoyed thisdessert for years but the Esplendor Resort is worththe journey if only to taste this wonderful dessert.
