"Making a Diff erence"continued on page 11

Making a Diff erenceby Rick Bass

Pam Bateman had a vision for a diff erent kind of school. After relocating from Bend, Oregon to Tucson some 16 years ago, that vision came to fruition as the creator and site director of the The Civano Community School K-8. Pam has recently retired from this unique school and states her proudest moment was back in 2002 when they broke ground for the new charter school with the support of Vail School district superintendent Calvin Baker and other visionaries.

Voted "The Greenest Grade School in America" in 2008, the school received a $50,000 grant prize and a special video segment on

the Ellen DeGeneres Show. The much-needed money to help start a building fund for a commercial kitchen which has been completed. Currently, a community garden is being developed to supply fresh fruits and vegetables for student meals.

Civano Community School provides some of the most innovative learning to 110 students. Located in the close-knit community of Civano, students, teachers and parents collaborate to bring the best qualities of a small charter school setting with the core

subjects of math, reading/language and humanities. Pam states: "the hands-on approach combined with a philosophy of curiosity, stewardship, tenacity and grit allows the students to construct their own knowledge." (The student input generates many possibilities within the academic curriculum and provides a sense of responsibility for their learning that is fun and creative).

Another unique feature of the school is the blended classroom approach. Students are grouped together in consecutive grades (k and fi rst grade, second and third, etc.). This collaborative pairing allows each student to learn,

ROUNDABOUTSThere is a possibility that the intersections at Camino Loma Alta/Colossal Cave Road and Via Rancho Del Lago/Colossal Cave Road will be changed to roundabouts in hopes of reducing traffi c buildup and dangerous accidents. There are many advantages to managing traffi c in this way according to industry sources. They reduce the number of fatal accidents by 90% and injury accidents by 75%, as well as reduce fuel use and pollution because much of it is emitted when cars are idling at stop lights.

COMMERCIAL CONSTRUCTIONUnderstandably, there have been many rumors about restaurants and retail opening up in our area. As of this writing, no franchise or national chain sit down restaurants are planning to move into the area.

"Crowdfunding in Arizona"continued on page 24

Crowdfunding in ArizonaRaising money to start a business or take a business to the next level has always been a challenge. Many great ideas and businesses have gone under because they lacked the ability to stay in the game long enough before revenues could support the business. Under capitalization is the number one reason business fail.

Banks know this. Unless there is collateral or solid fi nancial history, it’s not likely they’re going to lend money. So where does that leave the small business owner wanna-be? Typically, they resort to using their retirement funds, obtaining a 2nd mortgage, maxing out credit cards, and borrowing from friends and family to help fund their business. In most cases, it is not enough. Without the ability to tap into other sources of funds, many businesses are doomed for failure. That’s why the Arizona Small Business Association championed a new law that allows Arizona businesses to solicit investors for an equity position in their company without having to comply with SEC laws.

Equity Crowdfunding is diff erent than typical Kick Starter crowdfunding in that you are actually selling shares of the business in return for an investment. Previously, this option required SEC compliance, which is complicated and expensive and reserved for companies seeking millions of dollars.

The 2012 JOBS Act allowed for equity fundraising at much smaller levels and bypassing SEC requirements, but states needed to set up the framework

Bonds 101On April 21, 2015, the Pima County Board of Supervisors in a bipartisan vote approved calling a bond election to be held on November 3, 2015. This ballot will include seven propositions totaling $815.8 million that will give Pima County citizens the opportunity to address road repair, economic development projects, historic preservation, parks, libraries and more. It is a cafeteria-style ballot that I put forward where the voters can cherry-pick propositions and is a great opportunity for both Republicans and Democrats to invest in the infrastructure that we so desperately need in our community.

Historically, Republicans favor bonds over a pay-as-you-go system because we have an advantage with bonds. With the latter method, there will always be unmet needs and a lack of revenue. Bonds ensure that projects are funded fairly throughout Pima County and benefi t the community as a whole. Currently, on the Board of Supervisors, Republicans are in the minority. However, there is an opportunity for us to support these comprehensive bond propositions and build much needed infrastructure and projects in our Districts.

These bond propositions are the collaborative result of a seven-year community eff ort which I supported.

Proposition Projects and Estimated Cost (total cost not exceeding this value)

• Prop 425: Road and Highway Improvements, $200 million

• Prop 426: Economic Development, Libraries and Workforce Training, $91.375 million

• Prop 427: Tourism Promotion, $98.6 million

• Prop 428: Parks and Recreation, $191.5 million

• Prop 429: Public Health, Welfare, Safety, Neighborhoods and Housing, $105.3 million

but not necessarily healthier. Feeling tired and sluggish, lack of sleep and managing chronic illness for many individuals means having to accept that weight gain is inevitable. In fact, you can lose weight gradually just by reducing portion size and taking small steps to cut out sugary foods, breads, soda and drinks with excessive sugar. Start drinking more water and increase your water intake every day up to at least 8 glasses of water. Commit to exercising and stretching for 15 minutes a day and gradually build it up to 30 minutes. Love and enjoy the body you are in now and set goals to change your lifestyle to a better and healthier you. Adding more fresh vegetables with every meal and snack will help you limit the intake of other unhealthy foods. Staying active is key in burning calories.

need to push this idea also. They are asking for photos of the location, etc. I cannot provide these, but I assume there is someone that could. Who owns the land?

I think we need to suggest to Whole Foods, Sprouts and even Trader Joes, the idea of a location in Vail. I met a lady from Sonita that drives to shop at Frys every week. I am sure a lot of surrounding communities would shop at a Vail Location. Fry's does not have a location in Willcox but they make sure to advertise in the paper there. The only problem I see is the rail stopping traffic many times a day and people getting discouraged waiting at the rail crossing. We do not have to mention that.

I agree with the idea of contacting them often, but maybe some push from the Landowner would help also.

Thank you

Dear Editor,

I picked up a copy of your paper at Miller-Golf Links Library, I think, and enjoyed reading it for the 1st time. I particularly liked the Academy Village program listing because we saw that Ryan Hood was singing there today! We went and thoroughly enjoyed the free concert. We have seen Ryan-hood several times and always enjoy their music. I am a former member of the Vail Chorale and I heard that they sometimes put announcements in your publication.

Ken Unwin hhhhhhhhhhhhh

Dear Editor,

A Peter Piper restaurant in the area would be wonderful. Finally, a place where we could take our children to have fun and have piece of mind in-stead of the only place being the Pur-ple Heart Park. Don’t get me wrong, the park is great but you could only take your kids there so many times. I have lived at Rita Ranch for about nine years; yes the schools are great, but I am hoping that one day some-one would build something that is kid friendly like a Peter Piper or maybe a movie theater. I know that sounds a little far-fetched, but it’s worth a try.

to the importance of moving forward with a sense of region/community intact. As Vail has boomed in growth over these last two decades, it seems that it has not come about with a solid vision of itself. While our school district has gained honors for its superlative planning, and guidance, I feel that the surrounding community has not so well followed suit.

This community has easily reached a crossroads where a solid unifying symbol that attends to its unique identity and spirit is needed. Such need at this point is far greater than the next possible commercial enter-prise. The time has come for such a statement to come to the forefront of our planning for the future of Vail. Clearly there could be no stronger physical point of support for such appreciation in this region than this expansive site where most all major roads in the area meet. While I have no problem with a Whole Foods mar-ket (or any other commercial concern) identifying Vail as their next target market, the people who make up this community both need and deserve a space large enough where they might come together in celebration of all that’s special about living here. Can we for once set our personal interests aside for consideration of a greater good? What a feather in the cap of all who have a stake in that piece of property to give back to an area which has provided so well to their prosperity over the years.

Dear Editor,

I went on the website and did the search as suggested in the Letter to the Editor on Whole Foods last month. It is a long process to final-ly get to their store information. It appears they watch the zip codes and keep track of the areas or hits. I'm wondering if a better way of communication would be to use the "customer service” tab, where you can send them an email in reference to proposed store locations.

Whole Foods also has parameters that they used for new store loca-tions. The only parameter that might not fit our area is the requirement to have 200,000 people within 20 minutes of the location. I assume it is likely close to that as it takes 23 min-utes for me to get to the airport.

complex on that corner, traffic and noise increases, leading to accidents, sirens, honking, blaring lights on the hill from the parking lot of the businesses. There would be more traffic signals, congestion leading to even more road construction. Semi-trucks and trailers, graffiti would increase and before you know it Vail would become another Rita Ranch.

Is traveling 7 miles (ten minutes) and not having a large chain food store and strip mall in Vail really a bad thing?

Matthew Bruns (Coincidentally, not related to Fred Bruns). hhhhhhhhhhhhh

Dear Editor,

In response to Fred Bruns' letter to the editor in your last issue, I am definitely in favor of having a healthy store at the site which he is proposing, Colossal Cave Road and Mary Ann Cleveland Way. However, I would much rather have a Sprouts than a Whole Foods. Sprouts is much more affordable. I would certainly be willing to do my part to try to make that happen.

Thank you, Arna Kentla hhhhhhhhhhhhh

Dear Editor,

Upon reading a recent letter which appeared in the June issue of your paper, I felt prompted to forward this note. Reading that yet another pos-sibility for development of the pres-ently open land at the intersection of Colossal Cave road and Mary Ann Cleveland seems short of the mark. Over time we who call Vail “Home” have heard it rumored that various commercial concerns have shown interest in this prime site. Now we are being encouraged to lend support to the possibility of yet another enter-prise in the form of a Whole Foods Market. As a long time resident of the Vail

area I have witnessed great change. The semi rural quality which drew me here has become increasingly harder to connect with. While I am not my-opic to a point of denial for all things growth connected, I remain clear as

hhhhhhhh

Dear Editor,

Regarding the "letter to the editor" in the last Vail Voice issue from Fred Bruns of the subject of persuading Vail residents in having a food chain store at the corner lot of Mary Ann Cleveland and Colossal Cave road. These are my thoughts on his story: Rita Ranch is a quick 7 miles away. Everything a person needs is there. Most Vail residents travel there for food, gas, healthcare, auto parts, Walmart, donuts, pool supplies, paint, hardware, haircuts, fast-food, etc.

Rita Ranch also has lots of traffic, lines of traffic at rush hour, bad accidents, hurrying bad drivers, lots of bright lights lighting up the sky all night, many traffic lights and intersections, honking horns, semi-trucks bringing in goods, crime and graffiti (at least more than we do in Vail), and the list goes on.

A vast majority of Vail residents (with the exception of the Del Lago sprawl, perhaps) seem to like the peace and quiet, especially at night. They also voted away the incorporation attempts. They like the quietness and the escape from the traffic and noise here in Vail. That's what caught our attention when we first visited the area 4 years ago. The parcel in question looks like it was bladed a decade ago in preparation for some commercial food stores and outlet businesses from the housing and construction boom days. Personally, I really like the fact that they never went ahead and commercialized the area. Since the original blading, the desert has slowly grown back sage, brooms and desert grass. Wildlife is also present. Vail remains dark and quiet for the most part. Whistling trains chug and fly by at night. The beauty of the natural open desert landscape and wildlife that we all enjoy changing by the seasons. A small portion has some landscaped city pavement islands and small businesses already. The convenience store for those who "just need it quicker." Envision a shopping

them. I searched Google and many titles came up dealing with revenge: Taken, Commando, Gladiator, Kill Bill, Death Wish, Man on Fire, and The Count of Monty Cristo. These are just a few examples – there are many more. Then I typed in fi lms about forgiveness, it took me 5 times as long to fi nd such fi les as Terms of Endearment, The Straight Story, Avatar, and Resurrecting the Champ.

On a deep primal level, stories about revenge are somewhat deeply satisfying. They appeal to our sense of reciprocity, justice and fairness. Stories about forgiveness are nice, but they lack the deep appeal to the more elemental aspects of our human nature; however, they do speak to our higher selves, our spiritual nature. We know we ought to forgive and revenge is not good.

Perhaps even more important is the critical understanding that being able to forgive is strongly linked with increased mental and physical health. For examples, studies at the International Forgiveness Institute, show that people who are able to forgive are happier and healthier – they have less illness and have improved functioning in their cardiovascular and nervous systems, than those who continue to hold resentments. Other studies indicate that people who learn to be more forgiving have reductions in stress and an increase in overall vitality.

Being able to forgive is not easy and often does not give us the sense of satisfaction (however shallow and short lived) that our innate human nature sometimes seeks. Essentially, while often a hard to achieve ideal, being able to forgive not only brings peace, but has positive benefi ts for the mind, body, and spirit.

is hard-wired into human nature. If you do good to another you expect to receive good in return. If you injured by another, you expect them to try to injure you in return. Our language itself gives away our innate sense of justice when someone says, “I will pay them back” or “I will get even.”

Interestingly, as I thought about this concept, I decided to look at the English roots of our word forgiveness. The meaning behind the word is “to give up on the desire or power to punish.” This understanding of the

word makes clear the obvious link with getting even or paying back. Therefore, when we are asked to forgive, we are in confl ict against our innate sense of justice.

As I pondered this, I thought of the many fi lms in which the once victim turns the tables on his adversaries and gets even with

always easy. I know that I would not be able to demonstrate this level of faith and character. I know exactly what I would do. While I would like to be able to forgive, and eventually would get there, I likely would hold on to and nurse my anger, with righteous indignation, for some period of time. Unfortunately, there have been times when I have even fed my anger and helped it grow, much to my disappointment in myself.

Why is it so hard sometimes to forgive? As I thought about it, I fi gured that what makes forgiving hard is that as human beings, we are born with a well developed and strong sense of fairness and justice. We also have a strong sense of reciprocity, or it is often referred to as “an eye for an eye.” This sense of equitable justice

connects with rail to terminals on the west coast.” “Plastics are sold to plastic users, including the carpet industry, textile manufacturers, plastic strapping and pipe manufacturers, and other users. Aluminum cans are sold to aluminum can manufacturers and tin cans/ferrous to steel companies. Glass is sold to a secondary glass processor in Phoenix, who further processes the glass and sells it back to the glass bottle industry,” Herzog explained.

ReCommunity stresses that recycling must remain as pure as possible in order to avoid having an entire load rejected. Additionally, some items are potentially dangerous to MRF employees and clog the processing system. Will mentioned, “It is extremely important for residents to make the right choice – put acceptable recyclables in the recycling container, but non-acceptable items must stay out of the recycling.”

Never put the following items into a recycle bin: plastic bags of any type, yard waste, food, liquids, diapers, computers, phones, oil, paint, or even frozen food boxes (they are sprayed with a plastic polymer and can’t be reused).

Recycling In Vail Part 2 by Trent Thomas

Last month I wrote an article that covered what happened to items when placed in a recycle container and how they traveled to the Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) in Tucson. This article will cover the processes your recycled items go through from the time of truck delivery to the MRF, all the way to processing plants for reuse.

Will Herzog is the Director of Marketing for ReCommunity, the company that owns and operates a Tucson MRF. Will said ReCommunity’s Tucson operation is one of 32 sites across 14 states in the nation. “We have between 60-75 residential recycling trucks that arrive each day in Tucson,” Will stated. Inbound residential recycling trucks are fi rst weighed as they enter the facility. Then trucks download the materials straight onto the fl oor of the MRF. At this point, a wheel loader maneuvers around the small mountain of items and dumps the materials straight onto a conveyor belt.

Workers monitor the high-speed sorting belt.

The conglomerate of items are sped away on the belt toward over a dozen waiting ReCommunity employees and over a dozen complex sorting machines. Each machine extracts a specifi c commodity, whether it is aluminum cans, tin, plastics, paper, cardboard, etc. Workers continually monitor the high speed sorting process and intervene when needed. “Typically it takes 24-48 hours for recycled items to complete the process of arriving at the facility until it is baled and ready for shipment,” Will stated. He went on to explain, “We ship between 6-10 tractor-trailer loads each day... and sell both domestically and (internationally).”

Recycled product bales then make their way toward purchasers for reuse. “We often ship through the Port of Tucson, which is an intermodal shipping facility that

personal look at this planet through a telescope.

As you go out beyond Saturn, you encounter planets far more diffi cult to observe through a telescope. Pluto is the hardest, but on July 14 (Bastille Day, the 226th anniversary of the 1789 storming of the Bastille that ushered in the French Revolution) something extraordinary will happen. The American New Horizons Spacecraft will pass 7,800 miles from Pluto. What it will show us is anybody’s guess, but the fl yby will be a fantastic event. During that time Wendee and I will be at our annual Adirondack Astronomy Retreat near Lewis, NY. I will give a lecture on Pluto on encounter day, and later, Wendee and I will deliver a second lecture about some little known facts concerning Pluto’s discoverer, Clyde Tombaugh, a man we knew very well. Most important, every reader will have a chance to see the fresh details of this wondrous world.

While we are at our retreat, we will be looking farther out into space. The remains of a star that blew off its outer atmosphere shines dimly as the Ring Nebula in Lyra, as does the “Dumbbell Nebula” in Vulpecula the fox. Much farther to the east, we leave our galaxy entirely to view the Great Andromeda Galaxy. It is splendid, superb. It is so far away that we see it as it appeared when our species was just beginning on Earth almost two million years ago. On the clearest nights you might be able to see the galaxy as a faint smudge, but through a telescope the magnifi cence of this lovely galaxy becomes obvious.

Enjoy the start of the summer of 2015. From lovely Saturn to the Andromeda Galaxy, the sky off ers wonders almost beyond belief.

Summer SkiesThe summer of 2015 is about to start. For most of North America summer means clear, mild weather, with starry, though often hazy, nights. In southern Arizona, summer usually means rain and clouds, but still, the summers do off er many clear nights, particularly after midnight. As we head for a new summer, it might be fun to explore what sights we’ll have in store for us.

The fi rst and brightest thing is the Moon. When summer begins on June 21, the Moon will be a fat crescent setting a few hours after sunset in the west. With each passing night, the Moon will grow brighter as it passes fi rst quarter phase and enters its gibbous segment. The full Moon will be on the fi rst of July.

Saturn is the major planet best seen these nights. Shining high in the southern sky, Saturn is beyond beautiful through almost any telescope. The observations of the ring system date back to Galileo, who thought that Saturn was a triple body when he fi rst studied it with his telescope in 1610. Within a few years the two outer components faded and vanished, but they came back. In 1655, Christiaan Huygens solved the puzzle: “It is surrounded by a thin, fl at, ring, nowhere touching, inclined to the ecliptic.” No one can rediscover the rings now without sharing the same thrill that Huygens must have felt when he fi rst encountered them.

Pam states that although the school has been a great success since its inception, she is concerned about the current financial climate for educational funding and is a real challenge for schools like Civano Community School. She adds that school funding needs to be saved

"Making a Difference"continued from page 1

You’ve heard of “shop local” but what about “fundraise local?”

For many schools, churches and organizations, fundraising is a challenge. You plan, sell, and work hard to get people to your event. It’s exhausting for you, the students, and the parents. Everyone is grinding day and night to try to raise enough money to support a specific cause.

What if there were easy fundraising ideas to bring your local organization more buyers and money? With local businesses, there is. Local businesses give your organiza-tion an upper hand when it comes to fundraising. Here’s how:

Local Businesses Have Local Connections.Local businesses work hard to build a following in the area and build a reputation of trust. When you host a fundraiser, you get access to the group of people already in tune with that business.

Local Businesses Support Your Community.The money spent with local businesses goes directly back into the community. This support of your community makes it easier for your organization to thrive in the long run.

Local Businesses Have More Incentive to Give Back.Your local business owners also have family and friends living and working in your community. They care about the success of the area and are more incentivized to give back – especially to fundraisers that support local groups.

Rita Ranch Storage, Car & Dog Wash gets fundraising. We’ve participated in hundreds of fundraisers in the area as both as hosts and participants.

Here’s what we have to offer:• Using our car wash bays for a car wash fundraiser;• Selling our ultimate car wash coupons and keeping the

profits;• Holding a dog wash fundraiser at our secure, fun dog

wash tubs;• Selling dog wash coupons and keeping the profits.

We’re always open to new ideas for how to help your team or organization raise money. Contact owner Mike Adams at [email protected] to brainstorm exciting ways to fundraise.

these dreams. If you are willing to make the time for this process—and if you remain open to what your dreams (and the dreams of those around you) have to tell you—you will fi nd guidance, solutions, and a fuller, richer understanding of yourself and others.

1. At bedtime, count backwards from 60, then repeatedly tell yourself that you are going to remember your dreams.

2. Keep a pen and a “dream journal” near your bed. Dreams disappear quickly, so record them as soon as you awaken—include dates and times. Include anything that stands out (for example, any noticeable or repeated words, names, symbols, themes, or phrases).

3. If possible, allow yourself to wake up naturally. If using an alarm, use a low tone and no radio or music.

4. Stay completely still until you remember your dream—not moving can fool the brain into believing that it is still in the dream state.

5. Give the dream an immediate title—this assists recall.

6. Later, fi ll in any additional information or further recall—moods, possible interpretations, related ideas, feelings, emotions, impressions, or explanations about what may have prompted the dream.

7. If comfortable, share your dreams with others for additional insight.

8. Practice daily—recall ability is like a muscle. The more that you use it, the stronger it will become.

Becoming a “Dream Catcher” Human beings have long under-stood the power and signifi cance of dreams; and, throughout time, dreams have been considered meaningful and sacred—and have been used to fi nd guidance and purpose in life. Countless examples of inventions, literature, works of art, and other human successes and discoveries have been attributed to dreams. A purported window into the subconscious, dreams have long been recognized for their therapeutic potential—and contemporary psy-chotherapy techniques continue to include the utilization of dream inter-pretation and analysis.

However, in our present culture and fast-paced world, many of us neglect to take the time to analyze what our dreams are trying to tell us—even ig-noring messages that our inner world may be desperate to communicate to us. Perhaps a great deal of the trouble and turmoil some of us ex-perience today is due to the fact that we have lost our connection to this inner world and do not make room in our day for studying and utilizing our daily dreams—a practice which could guide us towards greater self-aware-ness and enhanced physical and emotional well-being.

So, how can you begin the pro-cess of studying and utilizing your dreams? All you need to do is to practice remembering and recording your dreams; then, you must commit to being open and accepting of the information which you gather from

Extreme Heat Survival Tipsby The Pima County Health Department

As the next several days bring triple digit heat and at or near record breaking temperatures, the Pima County Health Department would like to remind everyone to take extra care and avoid the dangers associated with these extreme temperatures.

• Stay hydrated and drink plenty of water.

• If you can, avoid going out in the heat of the day, (10 am – 4 pm) and run errands in the morning or late afternoon.

• When you go out, protect your skin – wear a hat and light fabric long sleeve shirt and pants and don’t forget the sunscreen.

• Do not leave people or pets in your car – not even for a minute!

Read More to Be MoreYou’re reading this right now. Why did you pick up this paper and why are you continuing to read it? The reasons- reading is relevant, stimulating, and vital for having an enriched life. Not everything you read will draw you in, but encounters with the written word have numerous perks.

Exposure to books off ers mental stimulation unlike anything else. It boosts your imagination and has the ability to enhance your creativity. When reading is performed as a solitary act, it not only silences all the noise around you, but halts your inner dialogue. This gives you pause to concentrate on something outside of yourself. When you put the book down, you will have better focus and be able to think more clearly.

Reading to or with another person connects you in a way unparalleled to any other experience. You are both immersed in an altered world and are on that journey together. It’s a shared involvement that even time cannot unravel.

Engaging with books is a journey that spans a lifetime. Conversing with very young children is crucial, but providing them experiences with written material allows them to hear diff erent voices and expands their escalating vocabulary. It’s never too early to introduce a baby or toddler to books. The joyous bond created between the enthusiastic reader and the engaged listener sets in motion a wonderful and productive path towards literacy.

Most of us have heard the dictum that kids should read for at least 15 minutes per day. Regular reading makes for more adept readers. Children can get lost in a character’s foibles or transport themselves to a distant place or era. As a seasoned tutor, I believe early and ongoing interactions with books are the key to achieving academically. It creates better writers, thinkers, and communicators.

Letting Go by Anna Steele, Licensed Master Social Worker at Turning Points Counseling

As summer vacation ends and children go to school or college, most parents expect a mix if emotions ranging from pride to sadness. During these moments one part of parenting that has surprised me are the feelings of self-doubt. Do I encourage my child to be brave? How much affection do I show? How much do I share about my own feelings?

Prior to becoming a parent, I had time to think through the perfect balanced responses. I know it is important to balance firmness and structure with affection and love. Then I became a parent and I had to think on my feet. When my kids throw me a curve ball my first thoughts are “that’s not supposed to happen, what do I do now?”

As my kids mature I have come to realize I not only have to let go as they grow up, but I also have to let go of the moments I wish I could do over. It helps to remember the things I did do well, and the abilities I have seen my kids develop. Even Freud said parents only need to be “good enough,” because a child with perfect parents will never learn how to cope with difficulty. Well, at least that is one mistake I have not made.

Rincon Valley Fire District gets Improved Fire Risk Ratingby Kimberly Crossland

Homeowners and business owners could see lower insurance premiums after the Rincon Valley Fire District (RVFD) improved its fire risk rating. The insurance rating firm, Insurance Services Office, Inc. (ISO) rates fire districts in the quality of protection offered to the communities they serve. A few years ago, RVFD received a class-5 rating. Since then, they’ve worked hard to continuously improve. This year, RVFD received a class-3 rating. Sun City West is the only fire department in Arizona labeled class-1.

For property owners in Vail, this improved rating could mean a better insurance rate. The rating takes effect in July 2015, which is when homeowners could start to see their insurance rates fall. The amount saved by property owners in Vail will depend on the insurance company. Each company calculates rates differently, so the savings could vary widely.

ISO reviews four main categories; Emergency Reporting, Fire Department, Water Supply, and Community Risk Reduction. Two reasons for the improved rating is the improvement in firefighter training and the adoption of a community risk reduction program. Overall, RVFD received 77.31 points out of 100.

Of the 49,000 fire departments nationwide, only 2,400 have a class-3 rating, which puts Rincon Valley in the top 5%. The improved fire risk rating comes at major milestone for RVFD – the 30th anniversary.

RVFD started in October 1984 as a volunteer fire department. In 1995, it became a career department with reserve firefighters. Station 2 didn’t open until 2006. During this time, they operated out of the old Vail Winery while the new station was being built. Over time, the department has continued to improve its service levels with education, training, and equipment.

"Defeat Obesity" continued from page 3The Symphony Has

Arrived in Vailby Jessica Breen

Vail Youth Symphony (VYS) enjoyed its debut concert at the Vail Theatre of the Arts on Saturday, May 9, 2015 with performances from its Strings Orchestra and its Symphony Orchestra. Directed by Jessica and Mark Breen, both former Vail School District music teachers, the Symphony Orchestra was comprised of 35 students, while the Strings Orchestra lead by Allison Minch and Whitney Olson, also Vail School District music teachers, had 18 participants. Students representing most of the Vail schools, home schooled students, and surrounding district students completed the ensembles.

The debut concert far exceeded the expectations of the public. At the conclusion of the final note, an audible yet whispered, “Wow,” summed up the event. The brief

silent awe was followed by a standing ovation. Included in the concert was a piece featuring harp soloist, Sarah Carruth along with another featuring flute soloist, Victoria Martel. Another

exciting treat featured a trombone quartet from the ragtime era of the 1920’s with director Mark Breen on drums. Scholarships towards tuition or private lessons were also granted to one student from each group.

Attendee, Superintendent Calvin Baker, said of the concert, “The VYS gave a great concert in the Vail

Theatre of the Arts today… The Vail Youth Symphony provides yet another valuable thread in the strong fabric of our healthy community.”

VYS, now officially a 501c3, had a great kick off season, and the group is anticipating even more growth in numbers and achievement next year. Along with the spring concert, VYS will be adding a formal performance in the fall, a dinner concert to raise the funds needed to send the young Symphony on tour. They will also make appearances at community events like Vail Pride Day in February.

Audition registration for the 2015-2016 season is now open. Students of all ages

up to their 21st birthday interested in joining the Vail Youth Symphony can register for an audition online at vailyouthsymphony.org. The audition deadline is July 31st.

Students will be placed in ensembles based on ability, not age. Follow VYS on Facebook to learn more. hhhhhhhhhhhhh

Civilian Conservation Corps Museum at Colossal Cave Mountain Park

There exists a long list of Arizona sites in which the men of the corps lived and worked. In this article we will mention only a few of those sites which are present today in Southern Arizona. While on your travels, you will see many positive instances of the presence of the CCC in our state.

The Civilian Conservation Corps in Arizonaby Jim Gressinger from Southernarizonaguide.com

The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) was a National public work relief program. Operating from 1933 to 1942, it was organized to assist unemployed, unmarried men from relief families as part of the New Deal. The CCC provided jobs for these young men, helping families who were having diffi culty fi nding jobs during the Great Depression. In addition to jobs, it was designed to provide a natural resource conservation program in every state and territory. Three million men participated in the CCC, providing them with shelter, clothing, and food, as well as a small wage of $30 a month, $25 of which was required to be sent home to their families.

The CCC was the most popular of all the New Deal programs. Benefi ts of working in the CCC included improved health, self-esteem, and employability. The CCC also led

in order to participate. With the new Crowdfunding law, Arizona businesses can solicit up to $10,000 per investor and raise as much as $2.5 million. The Arizona Corporation Commission will have oversight and, along with submitting a business plan, there are several disclosures that a company must comply with in order to participate in Equity Crowdfunding.

This new way for businesses to raise capital is a game-changer. Businesses that have a solid business plan, competent people at the helm, and a clear plan to profi tability will succeed in raising the needed capital. The obvious by-product will be new jobs and added tax revenue for Arizona. It will also provide the public with the opportunity to invest in ideas, people and businesses within their community, creating opportunities in areas of the state where none existed before.

But as with all investments, it’s buyer beware. Due diligence will be critical. The average person new to investing will need to be diligent, educating themselves before investing in any opportunity. Asking the hard questions will not only help the investor learn more about the business, but also force the business owner to know more what investors are expecting.

It is hard to predict what equity crowdfunding will look like in 10 years, but one thing is certain: Opening a new avenue for small business to access capital will create new opportunities and new competition in the business lending/funding arena. It’s the booster shot the Arizona economy needs to continue the gradual climb back to economic relevance.

abused children!’, but ultimately, Moselle takes a more invested interest in the belated socialization of the family.

Her approach in documenting their story left a lot to be desired, however. To begin with, Moselle sets up the family as having good guys, and bad guys. At least that’s how the children see it, as they blame their father and exonerate their mother. One of the children explicitly states that his mother is what made his childhood bearable. While this works as a juvenile perspective, and is completely understandable as a coping mechanism, Moselle does not explore this view, and I was left wondering why no one held the Angulo mother accountable for her actions. After all, she was complicitous concerning her husband’s abuse.

I got the impression that Moselle didn’t want to disrupt the family very much and expose some tough issues. I question her motive to fi lm a documentary on the family in the fi rst place. Her interest didn’t seem to be in helping the young men socialize, or break out of their abusive paradigm, the fi lm didn’t do anything to help any of the brothers get jobs or raise money or any of the typical ‘philanthropic’ ventures usually embarked upon. The fi lm didn’t dedicate itself to investigating the most mysterious and problematic parts of their story.

In addition to the unexamined role of the mother, the fi lm also almost entirely glosses over the only daughter of the family, Visnu, who is said to be ‘in her own world’ early on, and not mentioned again for the duration of the picture. The other part of the movie begging for exploration was the perspective of the oldest son. At one point he says that he doesn’t want his mother to get a job ‘out there,’ and will not allow his brothers to attend ‘real school.’ This is troubling to me, as he has adopted some of the views of his despised father, but without any refl ection or further explanation on the part of Moselle. Instead, she focuses on the mother's morning jogs, trips to Coney Island, and the like.

The most infuriating part of the Wolfpack is the extremely muddled timeline. For their fi rst trip to a real movie theatre, the boys go to see the

A Case of Misguided Philanthopism by Jared Free

Documentaries have always been somewhat of a hard sell for me. Although they have the power to tell small and important stories in an easily accessible way, I’ve always struggled with their exploitative properties. Recently, when I was sitting through Grey Gardens, although I found it extremely moving, I felt negligent and dirty digesting the mostly tragic tale of two real life people as popcorn entertainment. I wanted to shake the fi lmmakers by their shoulders and ask how they could sit idly by and fi lm the Beales' without intervening.

With that context in mind, I had a tough time sitting through the Wolfpack, a documentary by Crystal Moselle about the Angulo family who, up until 2010, were not able to leave their Lower East Side apartment. For the fi rst fi fteen or so years of these children’s lives, the only connection to the outside world available to them, was the movies that their father brought home. Moselle discovered the brothers walking around together in New York City (they make a very distinct impression) and befriended them, before deciding to fi lm their lives. The fi lm feels marketed specifi cally to cinephiles, operating as a validation of an obsession with movies—‘look! Movies saved these

Arizona State Land Department announced their portion of the land was being considered for public auction. A small, but vocal group of mountain bike enthusiasts called for meetings with public offi cials, which quickly overfl owed capacities, ultimately calling for the creation of the Fantasy Island Task Force in early 2005. Including a broad variety of constituents, over a period of several months, a theme quickly surfaced that access to trails is equivalent to the tennis courts and golf courses for this generation. With that thought in mind, The Fantasy Island Park Master Plan was developed and approved by Pima County Supervisors as a part of the larger Houghton Area Master Plan, acknowledging the importance of Fantasy Island and further establishing the protection of over 340 acres in perpetuity.

Fast forward 10 years later, with the City of Tucson announcing plans to sell some of their land, providing the opportunity to see how well the work from a decade ago would hold up. After months of working with the City Planning Department, several stakeholders developed plans that were presented at public meetings and just recently approved by the Mayor and City Council - with only minor adjustments to the City’s portion of the original plan. This process stands as a fi ne example of democracy in action; bringing together multiple user groups to work with multiple government agencies, setting a precedent in trail advocacy for generations to come.

enjoyed a 23 year career as a middle

Island Task Force and current planning meetings).

Fantasy Islandby Hank Rowe

For many, the words “Fantasy Island” bring back the 1970s TV show with Mr. Roarke and Tattoo dressed in white tuxedos, preparing to grant the island’s guests their wildest dreams. However, for trail users in Tucson, Fantasy Island is a dream of a diff erent kind.

Residing in a three square mile stretch along the west side of Houghton Road, between Valencia and Irvington, Fantasy Island initially started in the 1990’s, when Chuck Boyer sought to connect already existing motorcycle trails in the area, also having become a haven for wildcat trash dumping. Since then, Fantasy Island has expanded to over 19 miles with established trailheads along both Irvington and Valencia, and marked with several iconic landmarks resurrected from trash piles of the past. While the largest user group is mountain bicyclists, other users include joggers, hikers, and equestrians – all with rave reviews locally, in magazines, and drawing tourists from around the world.

The signifi cance of Fantasy Island came to a head in 2004, when the

Fighter, but early in the fi lm, there is a re-enactment of what appears to be the Dark Knight Rises. Moselle puts a lot of energy into intentionally distorting the timeline, and therefore, artifi cially reconstructing the emotional and psychological journey of the Angulo boys. Again, this feels negligent, insincere and improprietous. Ultimately, it’s hard for me to recommend a movie that feels so wishy-washy - a fi lm so uninterested in either taking a stance or presenting an accurate nuanced portrayal. One positive of Moselle’s picture is the compelling story of these young boys who grew to manhood by stepping outside only a handful of times. The garbled storytelling doesn't reveal enough of what is happening until a full 1/3 of the way through the movie. This makes the remaining hour nigh impossible to sit through.

There were enough wild horses and burros running loose, so the Vail’s didn't want the goats. They got very angry with him! Perry didn't have any fences. His whole place was open range. Those Vail Company Cowboys sure didn't like those goats! I never heard if there was a shoot-out. They probably just used words.”

“Mister Hilton had around two, maybe three thousand goats. That was in the (teens), twenties, and early thirties. He would shear them two times a year, in the spring and in the autumn. Three or four men had to roll them into the truck. At the shearing shed, they had a platform, we would set up some planks, and roll the bales into the truck. He had a bale box, about 6’ X 8’; it was made out of real thick lumber. We would throw the mohair in there, and, he had a top for it, the same size as the box. We would press it with a big screw-jack. We put a bar, or a crowbar, in there and turned it. He always had some baling wire, and, somehow, we tied them (bales) inside the box, with the baling wire. After we got them out of there, we would cover them with a double layer of gunny sacking. The heaviest ones were over four-hundred pounds. Very heavy! I'm sure the wool went to England. Mr. Hilton got paid from there (England).”

“He didn't have too many shearers. One man was from Texas, and there was Pedro, from Solomanville, he would hog-tie them. Perry wouldn't tie those goats...I don't know how the hell he did it. He was a little man of around a hundred and twenty-fi ve pounds, and he took those goats...close to a hundred pound goat, and held them with one hand, and sheared them with the other. He would get one of the goat’s legs between his, I don't know how, and they couldn't get away.”

In Their Own WordsThis series will feature stories of the greater Vail area told through oral histories, VPS has collected over 70. Ramon Morales lived in the Empire Mountains with his family until he left to serve in WWII. After his return, he worked off and on with the Hilton’s. The scenic Sonoita Highway winds between the Empire and Santa Rita Mountains just southeast of Vail proper. Perry and Louisa Hilton were some of the earliest homesteaders in the Empire’s. Perry died in 1919, Louisa in 1950, and their son, Ed, in 1974. They would all be amazed at the many homes dotting the landscape along Hilton Ranch Road in 2015. Ramon’s recollections, recorded by Mr. Thayer, are an important part of our community’s story.

Two Dollars a Day and Free Goat Meat! by Bill Thayer, Interviewer J.J. Lamb, Editor

Ramon Morales Reminisces About His Work on the Hilton Ranch.

When young Ramon Morales wasn't hauling ore, he “used to cowboy for Mister Ed Hilton for two dollars a day, it wasn't much, but it was money! Just two dollars, and free goat meat! Sometimes, Mrs. Hilton would leave free eggs, when the chickens were laying strong.”

According to Ramon, "The fi rst time I saw Perry Hilton was when he ran us (Morales family) off the well. He had a beard about this long (chest length). It was in 1918, he was a real tough guy. Mister Perry Hilton was hard to work for. He kept us working in the summer until the sun went down behind Mt. Fagan. He used to say that he hated the winter because the days were too short. Perry worked by the sun, not the clock!”

Among his other business interests, “Perry raised goats, Angoras for wool, and Nubians for meat. He also successfully grew milo maize to feed the goats, as well as truck crops, frijoles, corn and so forth, for the family. Perry Hilton’s goat ranching caused a problem with the Vail Land and Cattle Company.
