AROUND TUCSON

Nearby ‘shelter’ for undocumented minors under fire Last week, the Los Angeles Times featured an article quoting Antar Davidson, a former employee of Estrella del Norte, a “shelter” in Tucson for newly separated and unaccompanied undocumented minors.

The facility, located at 1601 N. Oracle Rd. — about three miles from UA’s Main Campus — is run by Austin-based non-profit Southwest Key, and is one of 26 similar facilities contracted with the organization across Arizona, Texas and California.

Davidson, who had been employed for a little over three months before quitting last week, said the facility had gone from “a transient facility with a staff that was strained and struggling,” to something “prison-like” now.

As evidence, Davidson pointed to a May 27 incident where four youths scaled a fence surrounding the facility in an escape attempt.

According to Davidson, only one was apprehended, despite extra security measures such as security doors and cameras.

“I can no longer in good conscience work with Southwest Key programs,” Davidson wrote in his resignation letter. “I am feeling uneasy about the morality of some of the practices.”

While a representative for Southwest Key disputed Davidson’s accounts in a statement, the company acknowledged it is looking to hire more help.

“We are hiring additional staff to meet an increase in all our facilities due to the number of children we are being asked to care for by [Office of Refuge Resettlement],” the statement said.

Monsoon season won’t be a wash

The 2018 Monsoon season started with a splash on June 15 as the weekend’s rainfall broke a National Weather Service record from six years ago and the fifthlongest drought.

Friday’s rain — 0.14 of an inch — brought an end to a 106day rainless stretch. Saturday’s rainfall of 0.75 inches blew past the previous record for June 16, which was 0.29 of an inch in 2012, according to a Daily Star article.

All official readings for Tucson are taken at the Tucson International Airport, as rainfall levels can vary widely within the city. The TIA reading is taken by the National Weather Service.

Also measured at that station is temperature, relative humidity, heat index and visibility, all of which can be found online. The readings are updated every hour.

If you’d like to see what the rainfall is like closer to your home, try Rainlog.org. Data is complied from citizens around Tucson who have set up rain gauges in their yards. On Saturday, the people around the city reported readings

from 0.3 of an inch near Pima Community College to over an inch on the east side of town.

NEWS | ‘WILD’ CATS

Club cares for feral cats on campus

BY MEKAYLA PHAN @DailyWildcat

Sergio is the big cat of the yard, a leader. Oreo is a trap-savvy mama who knows her way around town.

Dumbledore is just another guy trying to get by with what he has. And a few cool cats like Melman become celebrities on the street.

The University of Arizona campus is an unexpected home for many stray and feral cats, roaming around side streets, hiding in the dense bushes and simply living their lives among us.

That’s where CATS4Critters comes in.

CATS4Critters is a five-year-old UA club of independent people working to improve the cats’ lives by helping them get fed, sheltered and spayed or neutered.

“It’s a little hard to say, right now we have a few — six or eight members who are active,” said CATS4Critter cofounder and club advisor Susan Miller.

Miller estimates there to be around 40 known stray cats living on campus and many new ones that usually come in at the end of spring semester.

Two sisters who are club members, Jennifer and Dana Von Berg, said they wonder if this is because students are leaving them behind after they graduate.

“There are a lot of good students who wouldn’t do that, but there are some,” Dana Von Berg said. “We kind of think that Neville and Dumbledore might have been left behind. It’s a theory that we have.”

Dumbledore and Neville were cats on campus that were recently rescued by the club and accepted into the local Hermitage No-Kill Cat Shelter and Sanctuary. The two appeared to be comfortable around humans, more stray than feral.

Unlike strays, which are pets that have been abandoned, feral cats like Sergio and Oreo have had little to no socialization when they are young. That makes them avoidant of humans and almost impossible to be adopted out.

The best that the club can do with feral cats is humanely trap them so they can be neutered and then return them to the street. This is done to decrease overpopulation. An indicator a cat has been TNR’d — trap, neutered and released — is a clipped ear.

“When Dumbledore first showed up, they were really leery of him and he’d have to eat last,” Jennifer said, describing how many of the cats have made their own colonies with their

own hierarchy system.

However, that made Dumbledore stand out, and when he was accepted into the Hermitage cat shelter, veterinarians found he had feline immunodeficiency virus, an autoimmune disease in cats that is usually transmitted through biting. He is now doing well in the shelter’s FIV rooms, as cats with FIV can live long, healthy lives with proper care.

Neville was caught in a TNR trap and is also ready to be adopted at the shelter.

David Bishop, Hermitage’s president of the board of directors, CATS4Critters club member and owner of eight cats himself, said he’s glad the two cats were able to enter the shelter.

“The Hermitage has a pretty great reputation of finding homes for cats that have sorts of things that make it harder to adopt ...” he said. “We are also Arizona’s first no-kill shelter.”

The Von Bergs and Bishop were members who had independently been helping the cats on their own before coming across the CATS4Critter club.

The club’s email listserv allows members to keep each other informed about the cats and keep them posted on their progress with things like TNRs. Since cats are cautious creatures, sometimes catching one can take months, even up to a year in some cases.

CATS4Critters would like to know more about the cats on the UA main campus and those feeding them, since a majority of the members are focused in the north campus area. So far the group knows there are cats around the Main Library, McKale Center, garages like Cherry and the Park Student Union area.

Cats have been on campus for years.

One cat, Melman, a good-natured feline who hung around the Health Sciences Library for at least six years, was particularly memorable.

“He was friendly, people would come by to pet him and leave him food. A lot of people loved him, and finally someone found someone who was interested in taking him home,” Bishop said. “He’s doing very well.”

The cats seem to make a positive impact on many lives here, but Bishop believes there are some people who don’t like them for various reasons, including that they sometimes kill songbirds.

One problem CATS4Critters ran across last year was someone throwing away the cat food they left out north of

campus. There, the club feeds over a dozen cats.

“I hope that the UA community would understand that the cats are here because nobody else wanted them and the ones that are feeding them are trying to take care of them because they feel that they deserve to be cared for,” Bishop said.

From enduring the dangerous Arizona summer heat to finding shelter in the cold monsoon and winter seasons — along with construction, cars and predators like coyotes — it

can be difficult for cats to survive. It makes one realize that Sergio, Oreo, Blackberry, Hermione, Bessie, Millie and many of these cat are all members of the Wildcat family who need help, and CATS4Critters’ members are prepared to do what they can, from keeping their car trunks full of cat food to fostering a few of them on their own.

“They’re wonderful little cats.

They’re just homeless cats that we just want to feed and make their lives a little easier,” Jennifer Von Berg said.

Wildcats finish on high note at NCAA’s

BY AMIT SYAL @ASyal21

Arizona track and field completed its final hoorah of the 2018 season with a trip to Eugene, Oregon for the NCAA Championships.

The three-day trip to Eugene had many highlights from athletes competing in a myriad of events.

On June 6, the Wildcats started their first day of competition led by freshman runner Maksims Sincukovs and thrower Jordan Geist.

Sincukovs clocked a time of 50.49 in the 400-meter hurdles, setting a collegiate personal best and a new Arizona freshman record. With his remarkable time in Eugene, he now holds the No. 2 and No. 3 marks on Arizona’s all-time list. As a result, Sincukovs advanced to the final round.

Jordan Geist ended with a fifth-place finish after throwing a mark of 20.32 meters in the shot put, garnering himself his second First Team All-American honors since January of this year. With his impressive toss, Geist also advanced to the final round.

On day two, the women’s 4x400-meter relay team had a strong run and earned themselves second team All-American honors.

The team of Diana Gajda, Karolina

Pahlitzsch, Katelin Warren and Tatum Waggoner finished in 12th place with a time of 3:34.26, good enough for a season’s best and All-American honors.

The women’s 4x100-meter relay team of Savaughn Christman, Tatum Waggoner, Pamela White and Brena Andrews clocked a time of 45.10 to finish in 23rd place.

On the last day of competition, Sincukovs earned First Team All-American honors with his time of 50.63 to take seventh place in the 400-meter hurdle. He was the only freshman in the race and was just one of three underclassmen.

After crushing day one of competition, Geist finished 12th place in the discus throw with a mark of 54.95 meters and freshman Turner Washington took 19th in the discus with a mark of 53.36 meters.

“Our three big freshmen [Sincukovs, Geist, and Washington] did a great job this year and put us in a great position,” UA head coach Fred Harvey said to Arizona Athletics.

Senior Alyssa Thompson competed in the heptathlon 100-meter hurdle, scoring 618 points, but exited the competition with a lower body injury, per Arizona Athletics.

After ending the NCAA Championships, the Wildcats distance runners will prepare for the upcoming cross-country season in the fall.

‘Cats new tennis coach comes home again

BY DAVID SKINNER @Davidwskinner_

In a sudden and unexpected move last month, women’s tennis head coach Vicky Maes stepped away from her position, one that she had held for 17 years.

After the conclusion of another winless season in the Pac-12 and the team seeming to fall apart after a 6-0 start, Maes felt like it was a good time to make way for another voice and direction.

Arizona chose former UA assistant and Fresno State head coach Ryan Stotland to take over the middling Wildcats program.

Stotland comes off a season in which he led the Bulldogs to the Mountain West Conference championship game and a first round appearance in the NCAA Tournament.

That success is an indicator that the up-and-coming coach is checking all of

the necessary boxes to be ready to take over a Power-5 conference program at Arizona — one of the most prestigious conferences in women’s tennis.

The Pac-12 features perennial powers in UCLA, USC and Stanford, who all compete for national championships every year.

Stotland won’t be taking over a program that is bare-bones, with the core of the team being mainly underclassmen that have experience under their belt.

The Wildcats lose only two players from this past year’s roster, with returning players Camila Wesbrooks, Mary Lewis and Paris Corley all looking to be compete for the top spot in the rotation.

Stotland will have a little breathing room in bringing in high-end talent to the Old Pueblo as the roster he has inherited will be able to carry the Wildcats for next year and maybe the year after.

In turn, that should be helpful in getting the young coach established in Tucson.

The good news for Stotland is that the 2018 mid-season collapse had many different factors that led to it, including family issues with certain players and injuries up and down the roster.

As a result, the Wildcats were never able to regain their early rhythm. This can be looked at positively for Stotland, knowing that what derailed the team wasn’t a lack of talent or effort, but rather things out of Maes’ control.

With a group that figures to be refocused after a team trip to Japan — one that will be listening to a new voice and philosophy for day-to-day operations — this young group of Wildcats could go on to surprise some people early on.

With a new, yet experienced, coach in Stotland, Arizona women’s tennis could be a dark horse in the Pac-12 if the right pieces come together.

LOW COST FASHION

FILM| INCREDIBLES 2

The Do’s and Don’ts of Goodwill shopping OPINION

BY PASCAL ALBRIGHT @pascalloves

W

hen it comes to saving a dime and finding that discount, college is the perfect time to practice. College students have to pay for tuition, food, housing, books and other necessities.

For some, fashion is a necessity.

Like many young people, I find that my fashion is a statement of how I feel or how I want to present myself. That leads me to how one can save money and still look good.

The answer? Bargain shopping, a.k.a. shopping at Goodwill.

Goodwill, a non-profit organization, not only provides job training, employment placement services and other communitybased programs, but it is also funded by a massive network of retail thrift stores which operate as nonprofits as well.

When it comes to finding a unique wardrobe while also saving money, Goodwill is the way to go. Here are some simple do’s and don’ts that you should learn.

The first thing with any thrift shopping is that you always need to wash before you wear. When you locate a good find, make the purchase and bring it home and — unless it’s a vest that you want to wear to a rap concert right after — wash that article before you wear it.

The second thing is that you should never pay more for less. If you purchase one shirt at a thrift shop, you should not pay the same as if you were buying three shirts.

The price range depends on what article of clothing you buy. A longsleeved collared shirt should not be more than $7, while a t-shirt should not be more than $4.

“People who love thrift stores really love thrift stores. And they were gaining in popularity well before Macklemore’s ‘Thrift Shop’ made its best attempt ruin that trend,” said Andy McDonald from The Huffington Post. “In 2012, the

number of thrift stores was up 12 percent from the previous two years.

Data shows that in a given year, approximately 16 to 18 percent of Americans will shop at a thrift store.”

The third thing one should remember when thrift shopping is to be a cautious shopper. This means that when buying undergarments either don’t do it or buy wrapped.

I don’t need to tell you that 25-cent underwear is too good a bargain.

That leads into the fourth point: If the deal is too high or too low for your liking, there is a better article of clothing to be found. You have to remember the fashion rules, too, like no stripes on stripes — unless of course there is a sports coat that you want to pair with some plaid pants, but that comes next.

Remembering fashion rules is important. Yes, you can have fun when shopping and getting a bargain, but remember to stay true to yourself. I assemble my fashion to mirror an upper New York style — at least, that’s what a woman in Goodwill once told me. I pay what I want but stay classy, and that is important to me when I shop.

The location on Fourth Avenue is the only location in town that gives you that student discount. That is on top of any other discounts that are available, like color of the week, and you should use that to your advantage. There are articles of clothing that fit your style and are also low cost.

“You can create your own style,” McDonald said. “And you can do it using the past styles of so many others. We’re not here to judge the bowling alley computer you have in your living room. Hey, just do you.”

There are many more tips and tricks to a good thrift shop, and each location will vary. Just remember to wash, be cautious and find those good deals. Whether it be a big hat to match your yellow coat or a new suit or some spectacular spectacles, remember to have fun, save money and stay true to yourself.

— Pascal enjoys a good bargain while also looking good. He enjoys wearing blue and likes fun coats and big hats.

Pixar’s latest is simply ‘Incredible’ REVIEW

BY JASMINE DEMERS @JasmineADemers

T

he opening weekend of the longawaited Disney-Pixar sequel, “Incredibles 2,” was, for lack of a better word, incredible.

With $180 million in ticket sales, the movie set a box-office record for the highest-grossing animated film debut of all time, according to Box Office Mojo.

The title was previously held by another popular Pixar sequel, “Finding Dory,” which reached $135 million during its opening weekend in 2016.

Additionally, the film came in eighth for the largest opening of all time, pushing “Captain America: Civil War” to ninth place with $174.7 million.

Back in 2004, the original movie, “The Incredibles,” held the title for the second-largest opening of an animated feature at the time with $70.5 million.

It would go on to win an Oscar for best animated film of the year.

For those of you who have been counting down the days like I have (13 years, 7 months and 11 days), I am here to tell you that it is well worth the wait.

The movie starts off where the first movie ended nearly 14 years ago, giving everyone in their 20s a strong sense of nostalgia. Our favorite family of superheroes is back with Bob as Mr. Incredible (Craig T. Nelson), Helen as Elastigirl (Holly Hunter), Violet (Sarah Vowell), Dash (Huck Milner) and of course baby Jack-Jack (Eli Fucile). Other returning favorites include Lucius Best as Frozone (Samuel L. Jackson) and Edna Mode (Brad Bird).

Bird, the mastermind behind the films, brings back much of the charm that made fans fall in love with the first movie, including the adventure, the mysterious secret villain, family dynamics, hilarious encounters with our favorite superhero fashion designer Edna Mode and of course Frozone’s offscreen nagging wife.

The best part about this sequel, and about “The Incredibles” storyline in general, is that it is entirely and beautifully human. You have this superfamily who wants to do good, protect the world and make a difference, but they are forced underground by

a society who doesn’t understand their value. Just like the first movie, superheroes are still outlawed and the family is struggling with the concept of abiding by the law or doing what they believe is right.

In an effort to bring superheroes back and overturn the ban, Helen, a.k.a Elastigirl, is chosen by siblings Winston Deaver (Bob Odenkirk) and Evelyn (Catherine Keener) to fight crime and change the public’s perception about them. While Helen is away, Mr. incredible stays home and cares for the kids.

Mr. Incredible struggles with his wife being chosen over him and has a difficult time balancing his new gig as stayat-home dad. Through her superhero endeavors, in this movie we see more of Helen’s strengths. Not only is she an amazing mom, but she’s resourceful, determined and inspirational. On the other side, Mr. Incredible is put to the test when he finds that full-time child care is no simple feat, but possibly even more difficult than fighting crime.

Learning how to be there for Violet while she struggles with feelings for her first crush, helping Dash with his homework and of course taking care of Jack-Jack as he develops his own super powers, Mr. Incredible is faced with one of his most difficult battles yet: parenting.

Overall, this sequel attempts to smash through traditional gender roles and shows us a mom who struggles with being away from her kids and a dad who has to face his own toxic masculinity head on. In the end, they again realize that family is the greatest adventure.

Lastly, “Incredibles 2” centers on a villain called the Screenslaver, whose ploy is to control human beings through the device that already controls them anyway: a screen.

Through this theme, the movie takes another reflective approach to reality, urging audience members to look away from screens and look at what’s happening around them.

Overall, “Incredibles 2” is definitely worth the anticipation. This movie will bring out the kid in you once more, while also introducing real-world themes, dilemmas and social issues.

ARTS & LIFE | 23 MILES OF MEXICAN FOOD

Tucson’s Mexican culture (and food) on display

BY MONICA BARICEVIC @monicabaricevic

The Southern Arizona Arts and Cultural Alliance, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the creation, preservation and advancement of the arts, hosts several events throughout the year that highlight Tucson culture, from music to food. SAACA held the third annual Tucson 23 Miles of Mexican Food Festival at the JW Marriott Tucson Starr Pass Resort & Spa on June 16 which featured food, live music, art and drinks.

This event celebrates the best 23 miles of Mexican food, which is one of Visit Tucson’s main campaigns for the tourism industry according to Shelby Scheer, the operations manager of SAACA. Visit Tucson partnered with SAACA to help represent Mexican culture in an interdisciplinary format.

“We are celebrating the culinary arts, we are bringing out large scale Mexican restaurants that are well-known and also bringing a lot of smaller ones that have never done an event before and haven’t had this kind of exposure,” Scheer said.

The event aimed to drive business back to the restaurants and vendors after the event. It also featured hand-painted Mexican murals, Bale Folclorico, mariachis and the depth of Mexican culture at one venue.

“This year I am very excited about the incorporation of the large scale murals and having wonderful artists such as Patricia Silva with Sol Design Studio come out,” Scheer said. “The other aspect this year that we are really proud of is [that] we commissioned a painting.

Ruben Moreno is the artist, [he] created the official Tucson 23 painting and it encapsulates everything that we want to show about this festival and Mexican culture itself.”

Brent Gibbs, the bachelor of fine arts theater arts director at the UA, was in attendance and said that the event was “a great thing to do in the middle of the summer.” Gibbs said he enjoyed the variety and quality of the festival.

Dozens of Tucson’s Mexican cuisines from all over

town were in attendance at the festival, with the message of collaboration and innovation, according to Scheer.

Carlos Ruiz, beverage manager at the JW Marriott Tucson Starr Pass Resort & Spa, said that there were individuals that may not have the opportunity of trying food from these restaurants on a day-to-day basis because of their location but this event caters to having them all in one place.

“For Mexican food restaurants to come out here and show that they’re passionate about their food they want people to try is great,” Ruiz said. “It’s an awesome opportunity that we get to showcase and be a part of.”

Ruiz said that the event is a partnership in cultivating the food and beverage culture not only in restaurants in Tucson but throughout the surrounding communities as well.

One way they keep that culture is through the 5:30 tequila toast, Arriba Abajo, that was a partnership of food, drink and storytelling that gives people an opportunity to see Tucson and its spirits, according to Ruiz, who is in charge of Arriba Abajo.

The festival also showcased La Estrella Bakery, Boca Tacos y Tequila, Reforma, Rollies Mexican Patio and Gringo Grill and Cantina. Drink vendors were also in attendance at the event, including local beer brewing companies, local tequila, Tito’s Vodka and drinks from the resort bar.

Samuel Jimenez, baker at La Estrella Bakery, said he sees this event as “a representation of Mexican culture and tradition.” He said the chance to market its pastries gives the bakery an opportunity to show the community what it can make through tasting of the food.

“It’s good to get the Mexican cuisine out there, our food is all natural ingredients, all organic and we are looking to spread this culture because it’s great showing Mexican food in a fine dining setting,” said Enrique Tribolet, sous chef at Reforma.

Isaiah Lopez, sous chef at Boca Tacos also thought that the event was a way to highlight the Mexican food community.

“Tucson has a lot of flavor here that needs to be discovered. To be in this community and to be a part of

that is really special,” lopez said.

The Mexican food restaurants were excited to spread the word on their delicious variety, according to Lopez.

Morgan Matchett, a UA journalism alum of ‘04, said she enjoyed sampling different dishes. “It is wonderful to taste all of the different varieties of the Mexican food that you can get around Tucson,” she said.

Matchett is a Tucson local and was familiar with the Mexican food selection but really enjoyed the ceviche.

There were several types of ceviche at the event and it was “absolutely wonderful,” according to Matchett.

She is a friend of Scheer and shared that, because of her, Matchett is now involved in the arts world doing fundraising at the Drawing Studio as the development director.

Compost Cats were also in attendance, helping guests separate recyclables and trash in hopes of collecting and creating zero waste. Samantha Normandia, an ecology and evolutionary biology major, explained that Compost Cats is a student-run, studentled organization of the UA. “We have about 15 students and everyone does a little bit of everything, whether its farm managing or just being on the farm and business detailing, also event planning and communications – everyone is super connected,” Normandia said.

She explained how excited her and her team were to be working at such a large festival, as this was their first time at the Tucson 23 Miles of Mexican Food Festival. They made an agreement with SAACA to be composting at all of their events, according to Normandia.

They have worked at SACCA’s previous SAVOR event at Tucson Botanical Gardens and have a partnership with San Xavier Co-op Farm, where they will create compost following these events.

“Seeing everything come full circle, seeing the moving elements, there is a presentable aspect to it,” Ruiz said. “It’s not just thrown together; it is a great organization that is able to showcase all of these different elements.”

ARTS & LIFE | ART HISTORY

Celebrating the life, impact of Sonoran artist DeGrazia

BY AMBER SOLAND @DailyWildcat

Ettore “Ted” DeGrazia was an everyman’s jack of all trades — an impressionist, painter and sculptor, a composer, an architect, a director and a lithographer, among other roles. His work was all created in and inspired by the world of the Sonoran Desert and the melting-pot culture it contains.

The DeGrazia Gallery in the Sun has 15,000 original DeGrazia pieces in the vault, but there are more than twice that number scattered around the world, according to the DeGrazia website.

On Thursday, June 14, the DeGrazia Gallery in the Sun celebrated the 109th birthday of the prolific artist by inviting the public for free cake and ice cream.

Despite DeGrazia’s passing in 1982, his presence in the world is as strong as it ever was, with his mission and memory carried out by the DeGrazia Foundation and the DeGrazia Gallery in the Sun. DeGrazia’s youngest son, Domingo DeGrazia, was only eight years old when his father died. For Domingo, the gallery is one way of learning about his father through the memory of others.

“I got to learn more about my dad after he passed through the stories that people told me about him,” Domingo said.

According to the DeGrazia Gallery in the Sun executive director Lance Laber, DeGrazia’s story is one of perseverance, humanity and success.

DeGrazia came from “humble beginnings.” Born of Italian immigrants in a miner’s camp in Morenci, AZ, living was a daily struggle, according to Laber.

DeGrazia was raised in an ethnically diverse community in the Sonoran Desert, and these origins served as his greatest inspiration throughout his art career.along with the mine.

“A copper mine is full of color — turquoise, greens, blues,” Laber said. “It was inspirational to him.”

The mine closed for five years, and in that time DeGrazia returned to Italy with his family and forgot the English language.

Upon returning to Morenci when the mine reopened, DeGrazia enrolled in first grade as a teenager. He graduated high school at 23 and, after some deliberation, journeyed to Tucson soon thereafter to attend the University of Arizona.

DeGrazia was a remarkably dedicated artist and student, earning three degrees from UA. His master’s thesis was titled “Art and Its Relation to Music in Art Education,” for which he built a color-and-sound machine to assist in his research.

He also managed to gain an internship with the masterful Mexican artists Diego Rivera and Jose Clemente Orozco after a chance encounter with Rivera in Mexico City in 1942.

During his early years as a professional artist, DeGrazia found little success among the higher art communities. The UA and surrounding galleries showed little interest in displaying his work. “[DeGrazia] really had a hard time with the [higher] art community,” Laber said. “They really thought DeGrazia was a sellout because he sold commercial stuff.”

DeGrazia reproduced his own pieces in the forms of magnets and pins and other affordable trinkets, which made his work more attainable to people across the economic spectrum.

The DeGrazia Gallery in the Sun was his response to the lack of support he received from the local art community. DeGrazia and his second wife, Marion DeGrazia, bought a ten-acre plot of land in the foothills and built their own gallery from adobe.

“When you go into a museum, the building itself is built by

somebody else,” said Michelle Raygoza, who has been working at the DeGrazia Gallery in the Sun for fifteen years. “Not this building. This property was made by DeGrazia himself.

Everything you’re looking at and walking on is DeGrazia’s work, so it’s very different from other museums.”

With the help of his Yaqui friends, DeGrazia designed and constructed the gallery, his home and a mission built in honor of Father Eusebio Kino and dedicated to the Lady Guadalupe complete with an open roof, wall murals and a shrine.

The buildings were made completely from natural and recycled materials and built with the same care and symbolic attention DeGrazia afforded his smaller projects. He made traditional adobe bricks onsite and saw through his vision with his own hands.

The entrance to the gallery is an iron replica of the Yuma Territorial Prison gate. Within is a Cholla cactus floor DeGrazia once compared to a “magic carpet,” straw textured and painted adobe walls, and a tumbleweed Christmas tree.

The garden itself resembles a “fairy land,” according to fouryear-old Ella Rienstra, who visited the gallery, where she enjoyed feeding geckos with her six-year-old brother Nathan Rienstra.

It’s a desert oasis blooming with native life from mesquite trees to cacti and wildflowers, decorated with recycled ornaments like toilet bowls, shovel heads, chains, steering wheels, hanging glass and handmade sculptures. Pathways are carved in the land with bridges made of old pipes and withered wood. At its center is a fountain overflowing with lily pads with a large metal statue of a deer dancer.

DeGrazia’s capitalistic methods of selling art were precisely the reason for his success, according to Laber. He made his art available to regular people and became the everyman’s artist.

“The one thing that really set [DeGrazia] apart was his popularity with regular people, they loved him,” Laber said. “He got no support from the ‘real’ art community, but he got support from millions of people around the world.”

DeGrazia’s work often depicted Native American culture, Southwestern history, Sonoran environments and culture, like the rodeo.

He was particularly inspired by the history of his home, taking the time to create entire series dedicated to the stories of Father Kino, Cabeza de Vaca and many Tohono O’odham legends.

According to Domingo and Raygoza, DeGrazia’s appreciation for culture shined through in those series. DeGrazia was inspired by the journeys of those explorers who, despite their colonial beginnings, found themselves in a culture they truly wanted to be a part of.

DeGrazia respected and admired Father Kino’s dedication to helping the Native Americans, asking for nothing in return. He was inspired by Cabeza de Vaca’s perseverance in a foreign land and his willingness to integrate himself into the Native society.

Growing up in such an ethnically, culturally and environmentally diverse community, DeGrazia had more than respect for the world around him, according to Raygoza.

“He had an awareness for the state of the environment that wasn’t around in the mid-1900s,” Raygoza said.

Today, those works remain part of the permanent collection at the DeGrazia Gallery in the Sun. According to Raygoza, after fifteen years of working there, she still has not seen every work in the vault — DeGrazia’s dedication to his trade and love for his community remains to be an inspiration to the guests who walk through the iron gates of the gallery.

Domingo only remembers so much of his father — fishing trips, road trips to Mexico and panning for gold. He has carried on DeGrazia’s legacy as a musician and hopes to make him proud in his work as an attorney, but he is always in awe of the real impact DeGrazia had on random strangers.

“He was always a bit of a character, but that’s what people loved about him,” Domingo said. “What strikes me is that he’s just so present still, even after he’s passed.”

NEWS | ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE

UA’s cyber ops progam one of the best The program has been designated a National Security Agency Center of Academic Excellence in Cyber Operations. It’s one of only 20 programs to achieve that level of recognition

BY MARISSA HEFFERNAN @_mheffernan

The University of Arizona’s cyber operations program has joined a small group of institutions designated as a Center of Academic Excellence in Cyber Operations by the National Security Agency.

Only 20 programs have this designation, and the UA’s program, based at the UA South campus in Sierra Vista, is a bachelor’s of applied science program and a transfer degree. That means students start at a community college and transfer to finish their last two years with the UA, according to Melody Buckner, interim dean at UA South.

“Our program has always been accredited to be a full degree at the University of Arizona,” Buckner said. “Now, it’s going to have this behind it, so it will attract more attention. We will be getting money from the NSA, students will see that this has been elevated, because we met their criteria.”

Buckner said the program, designed by Program Director of Cyber Operations Jason Denno, was created with the NSA CAE-CO designation in mind, which is how it achieved the CAE-CO status after only about 18 months.

“When [Jason] created the program, he created it from the ground up, knowing that he was going to one day apply for the NSA Center of Excellence designation,” Buckner said. “So it’s been designed to always be that, but

“

COURTESY UA CYBER OPERATIONS PROGRAM

THE UA CYBER OPERATIONS Program has received official designation as a Center of Academic Excellence in Cyber Operations, by the National Security Agency, an arm of the U.S. Department of Defense.

it took us two years to get that, which is really pretty fast.”

The program has two tracks right now, engineering and forensics. The engineering track is the track that received the designation, according to Buckner.

“That’s the harder track, so the students that are going into that track need to have the higher level math, they need to have the discrete math, they need to have assembly language, so they’re more like computer science,” Buckner said. “It’s a little more elevated.”

The CAE-CO designation lasts for five academic years before the program needs to reapply to renew the designation, Buckner said.

Denno said the application process has two phases after filling out the initial application. In the first phase, the program is examined on paper by experts who review the detailed application. The second phase is an on-site evaluation where NSA experts come to the school.

“They come to your school for a day or two and they review every lecture, every

lab, quizzes; they interview your professors, and they go through 10 [criteria] and only criterion number one is academic,” Denno said.

The other nine criteria are based on things like outreach and research.

As for the academic portion, Denno said the NSA specifies 10 mandatory content areas and 17 optional content areas.

Programs must offer 10 of those 17 areas — UA South offers 11 — and students must take four of the optional areas in addition to the 10 mandatory areas.

The students coming through the NSA engineering track, they’re truly the cyber Jedi.”

— JASON DENNO, PROGRAM DIRECTOR

“What the CO program tries to do is create a graduate who had the ability to look at a network, look at a system, look at an application, find vulnerabilities in it and write exploitation code that could take that machine over because of that vulnerability, but also be able to write patch code that could close that vulnerability and secure that system,” Denno said.

Part of that ability comes from training in a virtual city called CyberApolis.

“CyberApolis is a virtual city that we built because what we teach our students in offensive cyber would be illegal for them to do on the open internet,” Denno said. “So we had to build a completely virtual city with banks and hospitals and car companies and water

companies — online news media — we have our own ‘Facebook’ in there … and there’s 15,000 virtual people that are in that city that are run by a very advanced artificial intelligence we developed.”

Denno said the virtual personas have working bank accounts, working credit cards and working medical records that actually have x-rays in them, making it an extraordinarily advanced virtual cyber learning environment.

According to Buckner, they worked with a local company, Ephibian, to develop the virtual environment that has set their program apart.

While the program was already in high demand due to the amount of military bases in Arizona, Buckner said the fully online program will now be expanding even further with the aid of NSA designation and funding.

“

out of the program will certainly be able to do so.

“These graduates are capable of building cyber weapons for the nation,” Denno said. “When the NSA gets them and the government gets them they’re going to have the ability to do some of the most advanced cyber offensive operations on the planet.”

As this program results in an applied degree, not a theoretical degree, Buckner said students graduate ready to walk into an office on the first day and hit the ground running.

“I really see this as a partnership with the NSA,” Buckner said. “It’s us helping them create a whole employment population for them — that’s why they’ll be funding us.”

Denno added that students will also be able to work at companies like Facebook and Visa, running sophisticated cyber defense, as they’ve been trained to find weak points.

We really need to start getting students to go through this [program] and really learn how to protect our country.”

— MELODY BUCKNER, INTERIM DEAN UA SOUTH

Starting this fall, the program will be offered at the University of Mauritius in Africa, at a UA microcampus there, Buckner said.

“We’ve already signed the agreement and now we’re working on the curriculum, and that’s very exciting,” Buckner said. “Mauritius is on the exact opposite side of the world from us. If you were to stick a stick right through the globe from Tucson, you would almost hit Mauritius.”

Buckner said this program is needed due to the lack of qualified workforce for national cyber security.

“There are so many jobs without people qualified to do them,” Buckner said. “We really need to start getting students to go through this and really learn how to protect our country.”

Denno said the graduates coming

“The students coming through the NSA engineering track, they’re truly the cyber Jedi,” Denno said.

“When they graduate, they are the highest-skilled undergraduate cyber engineers in the nation. Handsdown, no ifs, ands or buts about it.

There’s no program in the nation more rigorous than the CAE-CO program.”

In addition, Denno said the NSA told him after a school is designated as CAE-CO, it can see growth up to 600 percent.

Denno said the first day the NSA linked to UA South’s Cyber Operations website, the site had 59 new visitors from across the nation in just a few hours.

“We desire to build one of the best programs in the nation,” Denno said.

“And I think we’ve done that.”

ARTS & LIFE | PLANETARIUM SUMMER LINEUP

Flandrau starts summer with full agenda

BY NICOLE GLEASON @DailyWildcat

The University of Arizona Flandrau Planetarium, located at 1601 E. University Blvd., offers several summer events to the public. It showcases attractions like light shows, science exhibits and a large mineral museum.

Flandrau, known for its laser light shows, will hold sessions all summer until Sept. 2. Each show incorporates a specific theme. “Laser Stranger Things,” for example, features 80s music and imagery from the Netflix series. It plays every Friday and Saturday at 5 p.m.

Other music-related shows include “Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon,” which plays every Saturday at 9 p.m. and “We Are Stars,” which plays at various times throughout the week. “[‘We Are Stars’] is about the entire process of how atoms are formed from star explosions and seed the galaxy with elements of life,” said Jonathan Schmid, a planetarium operator and UA undergraduate studying astronomy.

Winston Bardsley, a UA undergraduate studying geosciences and a planetarium employee, said that “Tucson Sky &

Beyond” is his favorite show.

“We go over the constellations in the nighttime sky and then we go into a ‘beyond part’ which goes beyond our solar system where we line up the universe and show how small we are in comparison to all that is around us,” Bardsley said.

“The Fossil Corner” demonstrates different forms of life that existed long ago. “Puzzles, Proofs and Patterns” allows visitors to mathematically try to solve their way out of several games.

In the summer, the planetarium also has several programs for children, including the Discovery Program that enables undergraduate students to teach children about different fields in science. The programs include marine life, chemistry, insects, Earth science and physics.

Birthday parties can also be hosted and include add-ons such as liquid nitrogen ice cream for additional fees.

General admission into the planetarium is $16 for adults, $12 for minors and free for children 3 and under. Theater shows are an additional $3 per person.

The planetarium is open to the public seven days a week, Monday through

BOARD OF REGENTS | SUMMER MEETING

Regents approve coach’s contract, purchase Robbins’ house

BY JASMINE DEMERS @JasmineADemers

The Arizona Board of Regents recently made decisions on a variety of topics that affect the university.

Here’s what you need to know; The University of Arizona will purchase a $1.3 million home, located just east of campus, to serve as the residence of President Dr. Robert Robbins after approval by the Arizona Board of Regents.

Robbins has been living in the 3,756 square foot home since last August, which was originally purchased by the UA Foundation at the university’s request. With the board’s approval, the university will now buy the home from the UA Foundation, along with its furnishings.

Originally built in 1936, the house has four bedrooms, three baths, a pool and a separate office and gym.

While the home is being used as a personal residence by Robbins and his family, it will also be used to host a variety of meetings and events for UA employees, community members and visitors.

According to the regents executive summary, in purchasing the home from the foundation, the university can more efficiently help to prepare for presidential events and maintain the grounds. Funds for the transaction will be provided by resources dedicated to capital projects, according to the report.

Robbins has been paying rent to the UA foundation via his $70,000 annual housing allowance. Once the home is purchased, he will no longer receive the housing allowance as part of his salary.

Arizona baseball coach Jay Johnson has been granted an annual bonus and contract extension through 2023 after it was

approved by the regents last Friday.

Johnson, who currently makes $500,000 a year, will receive his first pay increase on July 1, 2018 in the amount of $10,000. He will receive an additional $10,000 each year on the same date.

As the UA’s 16th head baseball coach, Johnson was hired in June 2015 and has amassed a 121-67 record overall.

The amendment to his contract also provides Johnson with the opportunity to vest an additional 10,000 units per year to a Longevity Fund, which entitles him to cash payment for the number of shares he vests through 2023.

Johnson’s contract also states that he is not allowed to leave the UA for another Pac-12 school and he will be allowed the use of a car, cellphone, country and health club membership, tickets to athletic events and use of university facilities.

ELIZABETH O’CONNELL | THE DAILY WILDCAT

THE ARIZONA BOARD OF Regents meet on Feb. 2 in Phoenix. UA President Dr. Robert Robbins will speak to the board about his goals and vision for the university.

Along with other recent revisions to the contracts of university officials within the Athletics Department, Johnson’s contract now includes new provisions regarding his

responsibility under Title IX. The provision includes details on mandatory reporting, cooperation with investigations and participation in trainings.
