Douglas & Nacozari: Sister citiesBy AALiyAh MontoyADouglas Dispatch

History was made at the Douglas-Williams House on Friday Nov. 21, where Douglas Mayor Danny Ortega Jr. and Nacozari De Garcia Mayor Marco A. Montes Navarro signed a formal agreement that named Douglas and Nacozari, sister cities.

The signing was witnessed by Jorge E. Espejel Montes of the Mexican Con-sul. Prior to the signing Montes spoke a little bit about the Sister Cities Pro-gram. Adopted by Mexico in the early 60s as the program “People to People”, the program served as a “proposal to preserve world peace when there was a possibility of a new world war”.

Former President of Mexico, Miguel Aleman, founded the Sister City Pro-gram, which is a symbol of not only alliance, but brotherhood and friend-ship. There are approximately 158 twin cities tied to the United States that strengthen the bond between the two nations.

“I am sure that the signature of this agreement for twinning Douglas and Nacozari will shape the bilateral friendship and cooperation that al-ready has a municipal level,” Montes

said. “Promoting the cultural under-standing and stimulating the econom-ic development in both cities.”

A document manifested in 1975, lead community leaders to thinking that Douglas and Nacozari have al-ready been sister cities for some time. Although Nacozari and Douglas have always had a close relationship, it was revealed that the document was not a valid agreement.

This official agreement signing cre-ated a basis for promoting cultural,

commercial and tourism development in both cities.

Mayor Ortega showed great en-thusiasm after the event, his own g r e at - g r e at g r a n d m o t h e r w a s from Nacozari.

“This shows that we’re going to start bringing together our cultural events,” Ortega said. “As well as the business sector, many of the goods that cross through the Douglas Port of

Douglas crowns first Reina Blanco y NegroBy AALiyAh MontoyADouglas Dispatch

Nubia Romo of Once Upon a Dream Dance Company shared a night of elegance, music, and dance at the Black & White Ball, Nov. 22 at the Gadsden Hotel where guests voted on who would be crowned Reina Blanco y Negro.

The contestants were: Ashlee Hernandez 21, Celene Arvizu 18, Jessica Smith 17, Tanya Lopez 18, and Mary Moreno 18. The girls practiced for two weeks, walking up and down the Gadsden steps, learning an enchanting waltz by Jesus Ar-menta and Dylan Romero.

The first Black & White Ball was held in New York City in 1966, created by an inspired Truman Capote. Since then, balls have been held every year, partaking in this lavish theme. This was the first ever Black & White Ball to be held in Douglas.

The evening began with an eye-catching dinner compli-ments of the Gadsden Hotel res-taurant. They served a spring salad with toasty rolls, and de-licious Chicken Parmesan on a bed of pasta with assorted veggies.

One of the night’s biggest highlights was the black carpet entrance. Guests posed for the camera in their elegant attire.

Music was provided by Dj Legacy and the Thunder Moun-tain band from Sierra Vista.

A f t er p er for m i n g t hei r m a s k e d W a l t z , c o n t e s -tants lined up to reveal the night’s results.

The winner crowned ‘Reina’ will be the Black & White am-bassador for one year and will be present at many of the city’s future events.

Our beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother passed away peacefully at University of Arizona Medical Center on Nov. 16, 2014.

She was born Aug. 27, 1931, to Alejandro and Mercedes Morales in Bavispe, Sonora. She is preceded in death by her parents; brothers, Manuel and Jose Maria, and daughter Maria del Carmen Montano.

She is survived by her husband of 59 years, Julian Montano Sr. ; daughters Ana Luz Moreno (Daniel), Maria

Jesus Hurtado (Gus-tavo), Loreto Montano (Hector Moreno) and sons, Julian Montano Jr., and Jose Montano (Melissa), as well as 16 grand children, and 15 great-grand children.

Loreto was a home-maker all her life and

was a child care provid-er for a period of time. She was a great wife, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother. She will be missed dear-ly by all who knew her.

Memorial services were held on Saturday Nov. 22, 2014 followed by a rosary and a mass.

Burial took place at Calvary Cemetery in Douglas.

Pallbearers were Gus-tavo Hurtado Jr., Daniel D. Moreno, Jose Julian Montano, Alex Monta-no, Emilio Moreno, Hec-tor Moreno, Julian Mon-tano, and Jose Montano.

Our beloved brother, father, grandfather, uncle and cousin was called home to be with the Lord on Oct. 29, 2014, in Tucson.

He was born to Emilio and Guadalupe R. Ju-saino on Oct. 27, 1950, in Douglas. Frank was preceded in death by his parents, his broth-ers Raul R. Montano

(Corinne), Cruz Jusaino and Bernardo Jusaino; sisters, Alicia Zamora (Fermin), Felicitas Ju-saino and Adelina Ju-saino Ortiz; along with one nephew and one niece. He is survived by his sisters, Socorro Quiroga (Ernie), Yolan-da Mendoza (Jesus), Gloria Arvayo (Trini) and Olga Jusaino. He is also survived by wife, Josefina, and daughter, Roxan, along with four grandchildren. Pancho, as he was known, was

a good friend to all who met him but his pride and joy was his extend-ed family. He was deeply loved and will be sorely missed, but will never be forgotten. May he rest in peace.

A Rosary will be re-cited at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 29, 2014 at Immaculate Concep-tion Church. A Mass of the Resurrection will be celebrated follow-ing the Rosary at 11 a.m. also at Immaculate Conception Church.

Jim Edgerton entered eternal rest on Nov. 14, 2014. He was born Feb. 24, 1929, in Elba, N.Y.

He has two sisters, Pat Edgerton, from New York, and Vera Savage, from Tampa, Fla.; and a brother, Ron, who is de-ceased. He also has two sons, Judd and Jess, three grandchildren and six great-grandchil-dren, all from Alaska.

Jim served in the Marines in the Second World War. He made his living working with harness horses but also enjoyed stock car rac-ing and was a member of NASCAR in 1949.

In 1952, Jim married Jan, in Greece, while

he was in the military. Hewas assigned to Alas-ka, which was great because wives could go along.

When Jim was dis-charged, they stayed and homesteaded, and also had a contract to furnish all horses for the government rec-reation and big game hunting. However, they

wanted to raise cattle, so in 1967, they bought a ranch in Gusher, Utah. In 1976, they moved their ranchin goperation to Arizo-na. After many years, they retired on a small ranch north of Duncan. Jim also was a lifetime Arizona Ranger and started the Coronado Co. for Greenlee and Graham counties in 2001.

A rosary was held on Nov. 20, at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Duncan. Services and Mass were held Nov. 21 at St. Mary’s Catho-lic Church, followed by the gathering in the church hall.

Pet of the weekHello there and Happy

Thanksgiving. I am this week’s Douglas Dispatch Pet of the Week.

I am a male Mastiff. I am just over a year old. I wandered into the Douglas Animal Shelter recently and these nice people are hoping you will help me find a new forever home.

I am very playful, friendly and am healthy. I really love to play fetch and just run around.

I have not had my shots and I have not been neutered.

There are 15 dogs and one kitten here at the Douglas Animal Shelter. We all would like to go to a forever home where we can be loved and love you back.

Last week’s pet of the week was adopted shortly after his picture came out in the paper, lucky dog. I am hoping the same will happen for me.

If you, or if you know of someone who is willing to adopt us or one of our other friends here please stop by the Douglas Animal Shelter at 2017 N. Rogers Ave. or call (520) 364-7567.

You can also visit us on Facebook under the Douglas Animal Shelter.

Just a reminder the Douglas Animal Shelter will be closed for Thanksgiving Day but it will reopen on Friday at 8 a.m.

Please come by and see us and help us find forever homes.

artists, filmmaker meet with local officialsBy AALiyAh MontoyADouglas Dispatch

Artists Cristoubal Martinez, Kade Twist, Nathan Young, and Raven Chacon of Post-commodity, met with c o u m m u n i t y l e a d -ers at the Meixican Consulate on Friday, Nov. 14, where they presented a project proposal for a land art installation.

F i l m m a ker, S a m Doug l as of Au sti n, Texas was also pres-ent w it h h i s crew, working on his film about land art.

Postcom modit y i s a n ‘ i nt e r d i s cipl i n -ary artist collective’ that looks at relation-ships between people and land with focus on issues with inter-connected ness i n a s en s e of hu m a n it y and traditions.

The project in pro-posal is a land art in-stallation piece called the “Repellent Fence”. It is a two-mile-long ephemeral monument that would stand per-p e n d i c u l a r l y w i t h the border, one mile on the Douglas side and one mile on the Agua Prieta side.

T h e i n s t a l l a t i o n wou ld b e m ade up of 28 vinyl spheres, 14 on each side of the border in 150 -meter i n c r e m e nt s . T h e s e balloon-like spheres wil l be 10 f t . in di-

a meter, f i l led wit h helium, and tethered to the ground with a concrete block.

Being that it is a monumental installa-tion art piece, it will stand for four days starting Oct. 9 and fin-ishing Oct. 12, 2015.

The design on the spheres is an iconog-raphy used by Indig-enous people for thou-sands of years from Central to Northern America. It is more commonly recognized as a “scare-eye bal-loon” a consumer bird repellent product sold in hardware stores.

The piece is a meta-phor t hat is to act like a suture, in the h o p e t h a t i t w i l l el iminate the pres -ence of a border wall and revive a sense of interconnectedness.

“It’s a metaphor for a community engage-ment process,” Cris-toubal Martinez said. “This fence is really a symbol of respect. It’s a symbol of shar-ing, reciprocity, re -lationships, and it ’s

also a symbol of re -sponsibi l ity toward one another. That ’s a very grounded and simple explanation of our intensions.”

The project is sup-ported by the Creative Capit a l Fou ndation and Native Arts and Culture Foundation.

The artists’ wishes, are that the commu-nity will be able to see the art piece for its true meaning as safe as possible, one year of planning and out-reach will ensure that.

Generous amounts of documentation are expected to take place, the photos taken from this are expected to live in museums all around the world. It is sure to bring vis-ibility to Douglas and Agua Prieta.

“I think it’s impor-tant to have total com-munity involvement in this,” Douglas Mayor Danny Ortega Jr. said. “I would really like to see Douglas and Agua Prieta come up a nd sh i ne t h rou g h this event.”

Stage welcomes Clinique, Estee LauderBy AALiyAh MontoyADouglas Dispatch

Officially welcoming customers, Stage Stores held a ribbon cutting event for their new cosmetic coun-ters featuring Clinique and Estee Lauder on Thursday, Nov 20.

Mayor Danny Ortega Jr. cut the red ribbon for the event kick-off, alongside visiting Stage Stores Dis-trict Manager Tom Miller.

Stage now offers a full range of Cl-inique and Estee Lauder products. It’s been said that both companies are very particular with where they choose to place their counters.

“It’s really going to separate us from other retailers.” Miller said.

Estee Lauder Manager, Dani-ella Acosta and Clinique Manager, Georgina Teran showed an im-mense amount of enthusiasm at the event. Both Acosta and Teran went through weeks of training and preparation to make these new counters possible.

“I think it’s going to bring some

excitement to the town,” Teran said. “It’s something new and re-freshing, it provides a type of el-egance that customers can’t find anywhere else.”

At the event, customers helped themselves to assorted pastries and beverages, as well as free makeup consultations. The first 50 ladies left with a gift bag filled with cosmetics.

Newer products are expected to hit shelves, beginning Dec. 1.

Volunteers needed to provide free tax help in Douglas

Last year in Douglas, several local residents gave back to the community as tax volunteers by preparing, at no cost, federal and state of Arizona individual in-come tax returns through the IRS’ Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program.

“The IRS and its partners are looking for volunteers that are in-terested in taking a little time to learn about taxes and then help-ing others by preparing federal and state income tax returns for free,” said IRS spokesperson, Bill Brunson. “Volunteers are certified to prepare simple, non-business tax returns for people with low to mod-erate incomes. People of all ages and backgrounds are welcome to volunteer. There is a role for any-one who is interested and wants to help give back to their community.”

Anyone can be a volunteer and bi-lingual volunteers are particular-ly needed. Volunteers can help in various capacities: return preparer, greeter, screener, instructor, and quality reviewer.

Volunteers wil l be provided with free training materials on how to prepare basic individual income tax returns and how to file them electronically. Instruc-tion will cover both federal and State of Arizona individual income tax returns.

Training will be held during the first three Fridays of Jan. 2015 or volunteers may study online, using IRS’s interactive Link & Learn Taxes course to obtain their vol-unteer certification. The Link & Learn program is an interactive course that teaches all of the ba-sics needed to prepare simple in-come tax returns accurately for individuals. Once certified, volun-teers can spend as little as three to four hours per week volunteering between the months of January and April.

To volunteer, please contact Er yka Est rada at ( 52 0 ) 2 6 4 -6789. More information about the IRS volunteer tax preparation pro-gram is available at www.IRS.gov, keywords ‘Tax Volunteer’.

Sheriff’s Office receives donation of armored vehicleBy ShAr PorierWick NeWs service

Thanks to the Buffet Foundation, the Cochise County Sheriff’s Office has an $800,000 BearCat armored vehicle to add to its fleet.

Board of Supervisors members Pat Call, Ann English and Richard Searle approved the do-nation during a meet-ing on Tuesday, after discussions with Sher-iff’s Office Chief Deputy Thad Smith.

English asked for more information on why the Sheriff’s office needed a BearCat.

“Just because some-one wants to give us somet hi ng, do esn’t mean we have to accept it,” she said. “I need in-formation on why we need this.”

Searle said he had received emails from concerned citizens ques-tioning the militariza-tion of the Sheriff’s Of-fice, and noted that an armored vehicle was frequently on display during street protests in the Ferguson, Mo., last month, after a police of-ficer shot a suspect. He asked Smith if Sierra Vista had a vehicle like the BearCat.

Smith said yes, but the city would not be eager to provide it for the county’s use.

“They need it for their residents,” Smith added.

Searle replied, “The saying ‘Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth’ is good, but that doesn’t al-ways mean you have to take the gift.”

Call noted, “I try to

rely on information from the professionals we hire. If they think this is something they need, I support it. This is nothing new, since we have a vehicle like it.”

T he BearCat is a law enforcement ve-hicle that can be used in critical situations and for rescue opera-tions, Smith said. At an incident in Bisbee a few months ago, the BearCat would have made getting neighbor-ing residents away eas-ier and safer from the scene of a shooting. The vehicle seats 10 people.

The Sheriff ’s Office already has a series 2 BearCat. Now that there are two, and they can be strategically placed in the county, added Smith.

TODAY’S ANSWERS

Dear Savvy Senior,Can you recommend any tablets, smartphones or computers that are specifically designed for seniors? I would like to buy a device for my technology-challenged grandmoth-er so she can get online and keep up with her grandkids better, but it needs to be super simplified so she can use it. -- Holiday Shopper

Dear Shopper,There are actually several new tech

products on the market today that are designed specifically for older boom-ers and seniors that are unfamiliar or uncomfortable with technology.

These devices come equipped with simplified software, big, vivid fea-tures, less clutter and better custom-er support packages, which makes them more appealing and much eas-ier to use than mainstream devices. Here are several top senior-friendly options to look into. Smartphone

If you’re thinking about a smart-phone for your grandmother, check out the new GreatCall Touch3. Made by Samsung, this Android smart-phone has a 4-inch touchscreen with an organized large icon menu list on the home screen that provides users simple access to often-used features like the phone, text messages, cam-era, pictures, email and Internet, along with your contacts and apps.

It also has a 5-megapixel camera, a full-size onscreen keyboard, and offers a variety of health and safety features like the 5Star app that lets you immediately speak to a certified agent 24/7 who can identify your location and get you the help you

need. Urgent Care, which provides access to registered nurses and doc-tors for advice and diagnoses. And MedCoach, which sends medication reminders.

Available at greatcall.com or 800-918-8543, the Touch3 sells for $170 with a $20 introductory discount, plus a one-time activation fee of $35, and no-contract is required. Monthly service plans that include unlimited 5Star and Urgent Care service start at $25. And their data plans start at $2.50 per month for 20MB. Tablet Computer

If you’re considering a tablet, a top senior-friendly option is AARP’s new RealPad, which costs $189 at aarpre-alpad.org, walmart.com/realpad or Walmart stores.

Produced in partnership with Intel, the RealPad is an Android tablet with a 7.85-inch touchscreen. It provides a clutter-free simplified home page with large text icons to frequently used functions like email, social net-works, weather, news, games, camera and pictures, Google, the Web, apps and more.

It also has a 2-megapixel front cam-era and 5-megapixel rear camera, and comes with 24/7 phone support, a bunch of tutorial videos, and a “Real QuickFix” tool that connects users to technology support agents over the Internet who can access the tablet and fix problems.

Desktop Computer If you think your grandmother

would like a desktop computer, the Telikin (telikin.com, 800-717-7640), which has been around for three years now, is an excellent choice.

Ready to go right out of the box, this all-in-one touch-screen computer dis-plays a big button menu on the screen at all times, providing simple access to most functions like the Internet, email, games, video chat, photo shar-ing, news and weather, and more.

Available in two sizes – the 18.6-inch “Telikin Touch” that costs $699, and the 22-inch “Telikin Elite II” for $1,079 – these computers come with built-in speakers, a Web cam-era, microphone, wired keyboard and mouse. They also offer a “tech buddy” feature so you can access your grandma’s Telikin computer remotely from your computer to help her when she needs it.

Running on Linux software instead of the standard Windows or Mac OS, the Telikin is also virus-resistant, comes with a 60-day trial period, a one-year warranty and free tech sup-port.

It’s also worth noting that Telikin has a partnership with firstSTREET – a senior product direct marketing company – that is also selling the 22-inch Telikin for $1,079, but have rebranded it as the “WOW! Computer for Seniors.”

DEAR DOCTOR K: I have rheumatoid arthritis. Can you explain what is happening in my body to cause such uncomfortable symptoms?

DEAR READER: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic (long-term) disease. It causes painful and sometimes disabling inflammation of the joints. RA can also affect other tissues in the body, such as the skin, eyes, lungs and blood vessels.

RA is an autoimmune disease. That means the immune system mistakenly identifies normal, healthy cells as dangerous and attempts to destroy them. Why does this happen? Do the normal, healthy cells somehow “look” foreign to the immune system? Or is there something in the normal cells, like a virus that hasn’t yet been discovered, that attracts the attention of the immune system? There are a lot of scientists trying to figure that out.

In RA, the immune system targets synovial joints, the movable joints found in the shoulders, elbows, wrists, fingers, hips, knees, ankles and toes. In these joints, a protective layer of cartilage covers the ends of the bones where they meet. The joints take their name from the synovium, a membrane

that lines the joint.The synovium produces synovial

fluid, a thick, sticky, yellowish liquid. It lubricates the joint and minimizes friction. It also forms a seal that allows neighboring bones to slide freely against each other without pulling apart.

RA occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks the synovium. The attacking cells release inflammatory chemicals that increase blood flow to the site. They direct an army of white blood cells, germ-fighters and other substances into the invaded tissue. White blood cells produce intense inflammation.

In response to the inflammation, synovial cells also begin to multiply. This causes the normally smooth synovium to form a rough, grainy tissue called pannus. The pannus grows into the previously empty space in the joint. In addition, synovial cells and other cells produce chemicals that eat away at the cartilage in the joint.

Together, the pannus and the inflammatory chemicals badly damage the joint. If the tendons become inflamed, they may shorten and prevent the joint from bending. If the tendons rupture, the joint may become loose or floppy. (I’ve put an illustration of this process on my

website, AskDoctorK.com.)In a normal immune system

response, inflammation subsides when the threat is removed. But in RA, the immune response is not normal; it continues indefinitely. This prolonged inflammation can be devastating. The result is swelling, redness, heat and pain in the joints. Ultimately, the joints can be so badly damaged that they become deformed. People with RA can have great difficulty walking, bending, lifting or using their hands.

As RA progresses, it can limit a person’s ability to carry out normal daily activities such as dressing, bathing and walking. However, with medications, good self-care and, if necessary, surgery, most people with RA can avoid disability. In the past decade, research has led to powerful new medicines that prevent the slow destruction of the joints in many people with RA. I hope your doctor has prescribed one of these medicines for you.

By Bernice Bede Osol

Diplomacy and planning will be instru-mental to your quest for success this year. Take your time and shop around for the best possible information regarding how to reach your goal. Interacting with experts is essen-tial if you want to learn the ropes and hone your skills. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- If you pay close attention, you will learn valu-able information from one of your peers. Consider the motives of someone who is after your personal information. Only offer what’s necessary. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Love looks promising. If you are honest about your expectations, you will build a solid relation-ship. Make a point to protect your valuables, whether at home or away. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Greater stability will be yours if you are ready to make a commitment. Rumors will spread if you try to keep matters hidden. Tell the truth and silence your opponents. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- It’s time to put your plans into action. You will waste precious time if you wait for someone else to make the first move. If you take the initia-tive, you will stand out. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Start sav-ing for your future. Curb unnecessary spend-ing and look into various ways to market your services. You have more to offer than you realize, so don’t sell yourself short. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Go after your dreams. Once you learn the fundamen-tals, you can begin training for the career that appeals to you the most. It’s never too late to start something new. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You will gain plenty of inspiration if you are around optimistic and enthusiastic individuals. Ar-guing will be a waste of time and could end in emotional, physical or financial loss. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Make your home your sanctuary. Redecorating or mak-ing minor renovations can add value to your property and impart a sense of well-being to you and your loved ones. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Finish off odd jobs you have been postponing. You will have more time to spend with friends and family once your to-do list is complete. Take charge in order to make a lasting impression. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Don’t con-fine yourself to the same old routine. Make travel arrangements that will give you a chance to explore new cultures, different points of view or a unique lifestyle. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Find a way to keep busy away from home. Being in too close contact with certain people will lead to ten-sion that you can do without. Focus on self-improvement, not what others do. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Stand up for your rights. If someone tries to take credit for your work, make sure to set the record straight and get the acclaim you deserve.

’Dogs begin season tonightBy Bruce WhettenDouglas Dispatch

The Douglas Bulldogs kick off the basketball sea-son tonight taking on the Empire Ravens in Vail.

The freshmen play at 4 p.m.; junior varsity at 5:30 and the varsity at 7 p.m.

Bulldog basketball coach Oscar Mariscal took his team to Safford this past T hu r sd ay wher e t hey scrimmaged Safford and Fort Thomas.

B e c au s e t h i s wa s a s c r i m m a g e n o s c o r e was kept.

Coach Marisca l said Friday all in all he was pleased with what he saw from his players.

“We saw some things we liked and some things we need to work on,” he said. “I thought our defense played well and our offense is starting to click.”The coach said if his team can play solid defense and not turn the ball over they will

be okay and should have a good season.

The Bulldogs were 10-15 last year and missed out on the playoffs.

Returning for the Bull-dogs are returning players are Roman Ovando, Mat-thew Rascon, Alejandro Villalobos, Jayson Esquer and Diego Tostado.

The coach said he had an estimated 45 kids out for basketball this season and feels good about the group he has chosen to keep on the team.

Following today’s game at Empire the Bulldogs will play in the Buena-Safeway Classic this Friday and Sat-urday in Sierra Vista.

The Bulldogs home open-er will be Tuesday, Dec. 2 against Tucson High. The freshmen will play at 4 p.m.; junior varsity at 5:30 and the varsity at 7 p.m.

The games will be played in the newly redone gym at Douglas High School.

High school gym repairs completedBy Bruce Whetten Douglas Dispatch

Fifteen months ago a busted water pipe caused severe damage to the gymnasium floor at Douglas High School.

Insurance issues delayed the gym being repaired in a fairly quick manner. Finally, several months ago, the insurance issues were settled and a company located to come in and repair the damage.

Douglas High School Athletic Director Randy Walker walked through the gym last week and then announced it would be avail-able this week for the DHS winter sports teams to start using once again.

Both basketball teams practiced in it Mon-day and the DHS wrestling team hosted a three team multiple in it on Tuesday.

The Bulldogs will host Empire in the gym next Tuesday.

Walker also announced the gymnasium,

which is an old airplane hanger, is going back to its original name of Memorial Field House.

The original plaque was found and rein-stalled outside the main door.

The building has been the gym since the mid 1950’s. Costs to repair the floor were just under $250,000.

Bulldogs looking to make it back to stateBy Bruce WhettenDouglas Dispatch

State playoffs have become a word Douglas Bulldog soc-cer fans have become accus-tomed to over the years.

Seven times in the last nine years the Bulldogs have made it to state and two of those trips resulted in state championships.

Last year, for only the sec-ond time in nine years, the Bulldogs finished 8-4 and missed out on making the state playoffs by just two goals. One of those losses was at home where Doug-las fell to eventual state champion Tucson High 3-2 in overtime.

Had Douglas won its reg-ular season finale against Cienega the Bulldogs would have made it back into the state playoffs. Instead Ciene-ga beat Douglas 1-0 dashing that hope.

Close to 70 kids came out for soccer this year and with his team now set Bulldog soccer coach Ken Cormier feels he has the team that will get them back into the tournament.

The Bulldogs begin that journey next week when they begin play in the Bran-don Bean tournament.

On Monday Douglas will host Nogales at 6 p.m. at DouglasHigh School. The Lady Bulldogs have the 4:30 p.m. game also against the Lady Apaches.

On Tuesday both Douglas teams are at Sahuarita and

on Wednesday the Bulldogs and Lady Bulldogs will be at Cienega.

Thursday will be on off day and single elimination tournament play will take place Friday and Saturday Dec. 5 and 6.

The coach said there are a lot of question marks about this team but the Brandon Bean tournament which is followed by the Chris Maier Invitational at Sabino will give him two solid weeks to find the right playing com-binations that will hopefully get him through the season.

“All of our practices have been very intense, we’re looking forward to another good year,” he said.

Changes in the schedule this year have allowed the tournaments to be played in front of the regular sea-son where as in the past, regular season games were mixed in and around the tournament dates.

“It really makes more sense this way,” the coach said. “To be able to have six, seven maybe eight games under our belts and with the tournaments meaning noth-ing, we’ll get to see what combinations work best. This should help us solidify and make any corrections that we need so we will have our best team ready to go when we meet the defend-ing state champions Tucson High in our regular season opener on Dec. 15.”Leading Douglas this year is one of

the main defensive stoppers on the team, goalie Mark Gonzales who was the teams MVP last year.

“We’re expecting a really solid year out of him,” the coach said.

Also returning is junior Ra mon Romo who wi l l be playing sweeper. Ju-nior German Galaz will see lots of action as an outside defender.

Other returners are Hugo Grijalva, Zeke Miller, Alan Mahtapene, Jacob Ortega and Jesus Loretto. Ortega led the men’s soccer league in scoring this past summer.

The coach said this squad will not be one of the tallest teams he’s had in years but it will definitely be one of the fastest.

Last year powerhouse teams like Salpointe, Sa-bino and Rincon also didn’t make the state playof fs gives an indication just how tough the Bulldogs region really is.

“I think last year’s expe-rience moving from Divi-sion III to Division II the players did a great job of adjusting to that, we just fell a little short,” Cormier said. “This year the atti-tude is we know we deserve to be there and our goal is to get into that state tour-nament with the under-standing once there any-thing can happened why can’t we be state champi-ons this year if we work hard enough.”

SELLS — Cochise turned on the afterburners to start the second half and turned what was a one-point game into a 104-63 romp Saturday night at To-hono O’odham Community College.

“We really scored the ball well in the second half, made like eight threes,” Cochise head coach Jerry Carrillo said. “We really defended and imited them to one shot.”

Jordan Martin led all Co-chise scorers with 31 points followed by Brayon Blake with 23 and Arell Hennings with 18 points.

“Hennings had a nice floor game; he really found people,” Carrillo said.

Cochise, now 7-0 on the

season, was at Chandler-Gilbert on Tuesday.

College women’s basket-ball team bounced back from being beaten by Mesa on Tuesday on a three-quarter court shot at the buzzer, to handle Tohono O’odham, 81-60. Te Oramae Solomon scored 23 points to lead the Apaches and Ashleigh Sparks scored 14.

“We scored better in transition and we have to do that,” Cochise head coach Laura Hughes said. “We score under 60 points when we don’t so we’ve gotta have that… I thought we did a good job bouncing back.”

Thanksgiving safe driving tipssubmitteD

The Arizona Highway Patrol Association (AHPA) wants to ensure all families make it to and from their holiday destinations safely. AHPA offers these reminders for your family this Thanksgiving.

“Historically, injury and fatal crashes increase over the days surrounding the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays,” states Sgt. Jimmy Chavez, President of the Arizona Highway Patrol Association. “Increased traffic means drivers need to increase their awareness behind the wheel. We want to make sure everyone makes it to their destination safely.” Additionally, four Arizona officers were killed this year in auto-related incidents.

Driving tips:• Blinding dust storms can pop up even in the Arizona

winter months. Drivers need to be aware of the possibility of dust storms and know what to do if caught up in one. “Drivers should reduce their speed, pull over off the highway as far as possible and wait for the storm to pass,” says Chavez. It is critically important to turn off your lights, including making sure your foot is off the brake so brake lights are not illuminated which can attract other motorists. Other drivers on the road tend to verge to lights in limited visibility.”

• Plan enough time for your drive and observe posted speed limits.

• Check your vehicle ahead of time. This includes fluid levels, belts, hoses, and tire pressure/condition.

• Be prepared for the unexpected. You can encounter delays due to accidents, road closures, inclement weather or drivers who appear to be lost.

• Be rested before traveling and take breaks during long drives.

• Carry an emergency kit that includes items such as a cell phone, a flashlight with extra batteries, flares, jumper cables, basic repair tools and drinking water.

• Watch out for other drivers. People can become frustrated, and even aggressive when driving in traffic for during long periods.

• AHPA encourages anyone on the road to call 9-1-1 if you view suspicious or aggressive drivers, breakdowns and accidents. Again, make sure calls can be made safely using a hands-free device and without taking the driver’s focus from the potential hazard. If possible have a passenger make the call.

• Use a designated driver or call a taxi if consuming alcoholic beverages or taking impairing medications, including prescribed medication.

important Driving Laws:• DPS is cracking down on drivers who are texting or

driving distracted. AHPA recommends eliminating driver distractions. Limit cell phone use to emergencies only. If a call must be made, use a hands-free device, or if possible, have a passenger make the call. Under no circumstances should a driver text or email while driving.

• Remember the “Move Over Law.” Move over one lane or slow down for vehicles on the side of the road. Help keep our DPS officers, other public safety officers, and other motorists safe.

• Buckle Up! It’s the Law! AHPA wants everyone to be safe, by having all passengers use seat belts, including children. Child safety restraints can be installed with assistance from DPS, your local police or fire department. Seat belts and child safety restraints have been proven to be effective in reducing and/or preventing injuries in vehicle crashes.

• Don’t drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Looking back on the past 12 years with the Turkey Trot Gomez said there have been many success stories.

“It’s really busy that day and we are trying to get people signed up and also start on time so we are not there all morning,” she said.

“I know people want to get home. Anyone wanting to take part can even call me at home the day or night before and bring me money that day. That would be easier than registering that day.”

“S omet i me s I r e -ally don’t know these people,” she said. “My husband usually takes over the first check so he can meet them and kindly establish a connection where they can call me in a month, two or three. … I’ve had a lot of peo-ple come up to me on the street or in Wal-Mart and throw their arms around me. … When I find out who they are, it ’s a nice visit.”

Science alliance visits schoolsBy AALiyAh MontoyADouglas Dispatch

Bill and Susan Bos-worth of the Science Alli-ance, presented a fun and educational assembly on physics for first graders at Stevenson Elementary on Wednesday, Nov. 19.

Their day began in the Stevenson cafeteria, en-tertaining first graders from both Stevenson, and Joe Carlson. Later in the day, they would per form for Clawson, Sarah Marley and Faras Elementary Schools.

Bosworth established the Science Alliance in 1990, pledging to inspire kids to explore science before they reach high school. He has “educated and inspired hundreds of thousands of kids since beginning his teaching career in 1980.”

The presentation began with a segment on light and sound, properties were demonstrated by using a slinky to represent differ-ent frequencies. The stu-dents also learned a little bit about ROYGBIV, the colors of the rainbow. Bos-worth shared his pinwheel of colors, and beamed light through a prism that pro-jected rainbow-like images all over the walls.

Student volunteers went on stage to help Bosworth demonstrate ultra vio-let light, lasers, and why f luorescent lighting is energy efficient.

One of the biggest hits with the students, was when liquid nitrogen was brought out. Bosworth poured the nitrogen onto the floor and passed a laser pointer through it.

An important aspect of the presentation was safety. Bosworth repeat-edly reminded the stu-dents the dangers of play-ing with fire and electric-ity. There was also a brief demonstration of safe static electricity.

Students explored Ber-noulli’s Principle of air in motion. They worked with different types of air pro-ducers, like a blow dryer, leaf blower, and even bendy

straws, to hover objects into the air.

The final segment of the program was on Isaac Newton’s Laws of motion and gravity. Newton’s third law of ‘Equal Opposite Pushes’ was demonstrated by a jet bike that Steven-son first grader, Matthew Fontes got to ride. The bike

was equipped with a fire extinguisher that pushed Fontes and the jet bike across the room.

To finish off the assem-bly, 12 students were picked to take a ride on the Sci-ence Alliance hovercraft. The students seemed to enjoy the brief ride across the floor.

Bill Bosworth picked students from the audi-ence to help him build a “human electric Bridge.”

Celene Arvizu won Miss Congeniality, Mary Moreno won Miss Photogenic, Ashlee Hernandez won the title of ‘La Vama’, and Tanya Lopez was crowned Princess of the night.

Miss Douglas Days, Danit-za Robles, gave the honor of c r ow n i n g t he Rei n a , Jessica Smith.

Smith, 17, is the daughter of Gilbert and Belinda Smith of Diuglas. She is a senior this year at Douglas High School where she works with kids in the preschool. She plans on at-tending the nursing program at Cochise College. She enjoys being involved in the commu-nity, previously she won Miss Congeniality in the Douglas Days pageant.

Smith spoke of the excitement she felt when she heard her name called for the title, saying

she was honored to be crowned by Miss Douglas Days and it was a surreal moment for her.

“I would like to give recogni-tion to Nubia Romo, who coor-dinated the ball and did such a great job in doing so,” Smith said. “I gained plenty of aspects from this experience, as well as the other girls. It is very much true when they say everybody is a winner. I look forward to my reign as Douglas’ first ‘La Reina de Blanco y Negro’.”

The night’s events were sponsored by Sun Magazine, Special Rose, Gadsden Hotel, Son Paises, Babycakes Cake Shoppe, Maddskai Ink, Double Adobe Campground & Shoot-ing, Palo Verde Stop N Go, The Douglas Dispatch, Two Flag Computers, and The Pearl Event Club.

“It was a beautiful eve-n i n g ,” Romo s a id . “ T he girls worked very hard, I’m very pleased with everyone who came.”
