fter retiring in 2020 after two decades leading the Oro Valley Police Department, Danny Sharp is now running for mayor against incumbent Joe Win�ield in the August primary election.

“I thoroughly enjoyed my 20 years as police chief and had a great staff, great people working at the police department and for the town and we did a lot of great things over those 20 years,” Sharp said. “I love this community. That’s the reason why I decided to throw in my hat because I’m concerned about the direction we are going,” Sharp expressed concerns about the need for more police of�icers and criticized the current council for selling bonds to improve parks.

Sharp also said he would have supported a controversial proposal to build �ive-story hotels and apartments

nterfaith Community Services will host the in-person fundraiser of “Rise - A celebration of Empowered Women” at Sheraton Tucson Hotel and Suites, 5151 E Grant Road, on Saturday, June 25, to support the Single Mom Scholars program.

The Interfaith Community Services (ICS) breakfast fundraiser begins at 10 a.m. and features speaker Tiffany Nakatani, founder and creator of Love In A Cup Tea Blends and Boss Women Unite.

The Single Moms Scholars Program is a scholarship program that supports low-income single mothers and pledges to lift them out of poverty.

The program is based on need and can be used towards furthering a single mother’s education.

Featured speaker Nakatani was raised by a single mother and became a single mother herself for a period.

When Nakatani tried to lift her small business off the ground she hit barriers put up, surprisingly, by other small businesses. This experience led Nakatani to found Boss Women Unite, a business platform for women to network to support each other. There are no barriers in place to exclude women.

“What I found in my research is that women experience more closed doors, and they see a lot of obstacles when they’re trying to start a business,” Nakatani said.

And although Nakatani had to step back from Boss Wome Unite for the past year to focus on her family and her business, she still keeps the community open for conversation and connection through social media. Nakatani said she fell into a trap that most women, especially single moms, fall into. She was putting more effort into supporting other women than herself. themselves putting their children’s success and hap-

“But I needed help because I had no idea of how to start a business,” Nakatani said. “It was kind of a challenge for me in the sense (that) there was just a lot of spaces where it seems a little bit cliqu-

piness over themselves.

“Although that’s taking me far, it hasn’t taken me far because when we adapt to that hustle mentality, I gotta do all the things, right?” Nakatani said.

The hustle mentality that single mothers develop can be a double-edged

we’re damned if we do, we’re damned if we don’t,” Nakatani explained. “We want to spend all this time with our kids, but we can’t because we have to get an education.”

“It was like I won the lottery,” Whitney said.

began. Before going back to school, Whitney suffered from meth addiction and survived domestic violence before deciding she needed dent for her three kids.

“CPS (Child Protective Services, now the Department of Child Safety) was like, ‘Well, it’s not you and you need to get away,’” Whitney said. “So I’m in the DV shelter and I was angry. I could not support my kids with associate’s degree right now so I went all the way.”

Whitney pushed through her degrees with success. She said she couldn’t have achieved everything without the help of Single Moms Scholars.

Supreme Court rejects Arizona’s attempt to defend ‘public charge’ rule

BY TRACY ABIAKA Cronkite News

W

ASHINGTON – The Supreme Court last week dismissed Arizona’s attempt to defend a Trumpera “public charge” that would have made it harder for immigrants to gain permanent residency, after the Biden administration refused to defend the policy.

Wednesday’s decision means that lower court rulings that had blocked the public charge rule will stand, an action that one migration lawyer said closes the door on “a very dark chapter of the weaponization of the public charge rule.”

Adriana Cadena, director of Protecting Immigrant Families Coalition, said Wednesday’s ruling “paves the way for the Biden administration to issue public charge regulations that improve protections for immigrant families.”

“It ensures that eligible immigrant families can continue to get the care and help every family needs,” she said in an email.

But Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich, states to defend the rule

after it was dropped by the Biden aedminifstration, said in a prepared statement that despite the ruling, the “coalition of states will evaluate how best to continue this

“Allowing the Biden administration to recklessly abandon the defense of such rules will further the devastating consequences of this border crisis – now and for many years to come,” said Brnovich spokesperson Brittni Thomason in a statement.

The rule, which has been on the books for more than 00 , ernment to deny admission or permanent residency to immigrants who cannot prove that they will not rely on public assistance or are not “likely at any time to become a public charge.”

The Trump administra20 the rules more broadly and expanded the procan be considered a “public charge” when determining immigration status.

That rule was immediately challenged by governments and advocates across the country, who went to court seeking –

successfully in most cases – to block the law that they said would deny basic necessities to their residents. The Trump administration fought back.

But shortly after tak202 , Biden administration said it would no longer enforce the harsher interpretation of the public charge rule that it said “was not consistent with our nation’s values.” It also stopped defending the rule in courts, then pointed to a U.S. District Court ruling from Illinois that vacated the regulation and said U.S. Citizenship and Immigration and Citizenship Services would no longer be able to enforce it.

That prompted Brnovich and attorneys general from other conserva-

seeking to take the place of the federal government and defend the rule in the Appeals. The circuit court refused, sparking the appeal to the Supreme Court.

The states argued in February that the federal government violated the Administrative Procedure Act by dropping the rule

and holding public hearings on the issue.

But the Supreme Court did not rule on that argument, instead dismissing the case last week as having been “improvidently granted” – essentially that it made a mistake agreeing to hear the

In a concurring opinion, Chief Justice John Roberts said the court was right to dismiss the case, which he called a “mare’s nest” of issues that could make to decide if the Biden administration violated the process for dropping the rule. But he said it is still an issue that need to be looked at by the court.

Roberts said a new administration is entitled to decide what policies to defend, but that the Biden administration “took a further step” that let it “circumvent the usual and important requirement” of giving notice under the APA. “As part of this tactic … the government successfully opposed efforts by other interested parties … to intervene in order to carry on the defense of the Rule, including possibly before this court,” he

said in the concurrence that was joined by Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch. The dismissal “should not be taken as

of the foregoing issue” or any current or future litigation, he wrote.

Brnovich had said that “commonsense immigration policy requires noncitizens to be responsible, , uting members of society in order to obtain green cards,” arguing before the Supreme Court in February that this country is the “land of the free and of industrious immigrants, but it is not a welfare state.”

He has said that implementing the Trump-era rule would save states

payments for programs such as food stamps, Medicaid and Temporary Assistance to Needy Families.

Advocates say those programs are there for a reason.

“These programs are designed to serve children of low-income households,” said Jose Patiño, vice president of education at Aliento. “For me, anything that we create programs to support children, I

would normally support.”

Patiño said some immigrant families stopped ap, during the pandemic, because “they feared that that would be considered within the public charge rule” and that it would affect consideration of their immigration status.

“Because of misinformation a lot of folks still have not fully come back in terms of applying for the programs entitled to,” he said.

The Biden administration proposed a new public charge rule in February that it said will not penalize individuals for “choosing to access the

other supplemental government services available to them.”

The proposed rule would drop the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, the Children’s Health Insurance Program, housing and , and pandemic assistance from those programs that would affect a public charge determination.

The results could be devastating.

• NEVER leave your child in the car for a “quick” errand. When left in a hot vehicle, a child’s core body temperature can increase

• NEVER “forget” about your precious cargo when dropping off children at a day care or other location that is not part of the normal

• VISUAL REMINDER: Use a diaper bag or backpack next to your bag as your cue to take your child with you when you exit the car.

• If anyone should see a child left in a vehicle, call 911 immediately.

■ ARIZONA AREA RESIDENTS CASH IN: It’s hard to tell how much these unsearched Vault Bags loaded with rarely seen Gov’t issued coins that everyone will be trying to get could be worth someday. That’s because each Vault Bag is known to contain nearly 3 pounds of Gov’t issued coins some dating back to the 1800’s including all those shown in today’s publication. In addition, after each bag is loaded with over 200 rarely seen coins, each verified to meet a minimum collector grade of very good or above, the dates and mint marks are never searched to determine collector values. So you better believe at just $980 these unsearched Vault Bags are a real steal.

Rarely seen United States coins up for grabs in Arizona -zip codes determine who gets them

Unsearched Vault Bags loaded with rarely seen U.S. Gov’t issued coins some dating back to the 1800’s and worth up to 50 times their face value are actually being handed over to residents who find their zip code below and beat the 48 hour order deadline AZ RESIDENTS: IF YOU FIND THE FIRST THREE DIGITS OF YOUR ZIP CODE BELOW. CALL: 1-800-869-3164 UV33046 850 852 853 “The vaults at Federated Mint are going empty,” said Laura A. Lynne, Director of Coin and Currency for Federated Mint.

That’s because a decision by Federated Mint to release rarely seen U.S. Gov’t issued coins, some worth up to 50 times their face value, means unsearched Vault Bags loaded with U. S. Gov’t issued coins dating back to the 1800’s are now being handed over to U.S. residents who find the first three digits of their zip code listed in

“But don’t thank the Government.

As Director of Coin and Currency for Federated Mint, I get paid to inform and educate the general public regarding U.S. coins. Ever since the decision by Federated Mint to release rarely seen Gov’t issued coins to the general public — I’m bei ng a sked how much are the unsearched Vault Bags worth? The answer is, there’s no way to tell. Coin values always

Each unsearched bag weighs nearly 3 pounds and is known to contain rarely seen Morgan Silver Dollars and these coins alone could be worth $40 - $325 in collector value each according to The Official Red Book, a Guide Book of United States Coins.

So there’s no telling what you’ll find until you search through all the coins. But you better believe at just $980 these unsearched Vault Bags

These are rarely seen silver, scarce, collectible and non-circulating U.S. coins dating back to the 1800’s so we won’t be surprised if thousands of U.S. residents claim as many as they can get their hands on.

verified to meet a minimum collector grade quality of very good or above, the dates and mint marks were never searched to determine collector values and the bags were securely sealed. That means there’s no telling what you’ll find until you search all the coins,” said Lynne.

The only thing U.S. residents who find their zip code printed in today’s publication need to do is call the National Toll-Free Hotline before the 48-hour deadline ends.

This is very important. After the Vault Bags were loaded with over 200 Gov’t issued coins, each verified to meet a minimum collector grade quality of very good or above, the dates and mint marks were never searched to determine collector values. The Vault Bag fee has been set for $1,500 for residents who miss the 48-hour deadline, but for those U.S. residents who beat the 48-hour deadline the Vault Bag fee is just $980 as long as they call the National

Toll-Free Hotline before the deadline ends. “ R ememb er th is , we ca n not stop collectors from buying up all the unsearched bags of coins they can get in this special advertising announcement. And you better believe with each bag being loaded with nearly 3 pounds of Gov’t issued coins we’re guessing they’re going to go quick,” said Lynne.

The phone lines will be ringing off the hook beginning at precisely 8:30 a.m. this morning. That’s because each unsearched Vault Bag is loaded with the rarely seen coins pictured left and highly sought after collector coins dating clear back to the 1800’s including iconic Morgan Silver Dollars, a historic Peace Silver Dollar, stunning Silver Walking Liberty Half Dollars, the collectible Silver Eisenhower Dollars, spectacular Silver Liberty Head Half and Quarter Dollars, rarely seen Silver Franklin Half Dollars, high demand President Kennedy

Silver Half Dollars, beautiful Silver Standing Liberty Quarter Dollars, American Bicentennial Quarters, rare Liberty V Nickels, one cent Historic Wheat Coins including 1943 “Steel Cents”, one of the beautiful Winged Liberty Head Dimes, scarce Indian Head one cent U.S. coins and the last ever minted Buffalo Nickels.

“With all these collectible Gov’t Issued coins up for grabs we’re going to do our best to answer all the calls,” said Lynne.

Thousands of U.S. residents stand to miss the deadline to claim the U.S. Gov’t issued coins. That means U.S. residents who find the first three digits of their zip code listed in today’s publication can claim the unsearched bags of money for themselves and keep all the U.S. Gov’t issued coins found inside.

If you find your zip code listed, call 1-800-869-3164 EXT.UV33046 immediately. Just be sure to call before the deadline ends 48 hours from today’s publication date. ■

Dreamer drama: Arizona man hopes play about his life drives DACA discussion

BY TRACY ABIAKA Cronkite News

N

EW YORK – Tony Valdovinos is sitting outside New World Stages, a performing arts complex in Manhattan where his life story has been taking center stage in the musical “¡Americano!” for weeks now.

The former Arizona resident is talking about the need to continue the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program – what he calls a “saving grace” in his life – and the role his story plays in about meeting Barack Obama. Again.

Obama visited the show recently, 13 years after Valdovinos and other immigration activists asked the then-president for help. He said Obama told them to organize, organize, organize.

“To be sitting (there) a foot away from him having a dialogue, a discussion and sharing that story and telling him we did just that,” Valdovinos

said of his “incredible” reunion with Obama.

Obama had come to the show to mark the 10-year anniversary this week of DACA, a program that plays as much of a role in “¡Americano!” as Val-

That story has taken Valdovinos, who turns 32 on Sunday, from a Camelback High School senior whose dreams of being a Marine were dashed when he learned he was undocumented, to an immigration activist whose life story is being told in an off-Broadway musical. for Dreamers to tell their stories, in this case, now on a global stage,” said Maria Jesus Cervantes, vice president of public relations for Chicanos por la Causa. It partnered with Phoenix Theatre to bring the musical to the stage in Arizona before taking it to New York this spring. so many like him,” Cervantes said, “that despite the barriers that they have, they are able to continue to serve our country

through other avenues until they are able to get temporary relief.”

The story begins at Camelback High School where Valdovinos, spurred by 9/11, had dreams of enlisting in the Marine Corps. As a 17-year-old senior, he went to the Marine

the school, scared, but eager to enlist and realize his dream.

But when the recruiter determined that Valdovinos, who had been born in Mexico, was undocumented, he told him to leave. He said Valdovinos was wastConfused, embarrassed and angry, Valdovinos went home, where his

him that the family was “never part of a legal process to get documented.”

Valdovinos has said that his citizenship had never been an issue to that point, since he mostly worked construction jobs with his father.

DACA is aimed at undocumented immigrants who were brought to the U.S. as children – like Valdovino.

The renewable program protects them from deportation for two years at a time, while providing them with the documenta, license, go to school and more.

After DACA took effect in 2012, it opened the door for Valdovinos to land a job as a community outreach director with the Phoenix City Council. He left that tor on what would become run for Congress in 2014.

It was during that campaign, that Valdovinos was interviewed by NPR about his canvassing work in local politics. A producer at Phoenix Theatre was lis, artistic director, Michael Barnard, reached out to pitch a musical based on “¡Americano!,” opened at the Phoenix Theatre in late January 2020. Proshow to Broadway were complicated by the pandemic, but it debuted off-Broadway on May 1 at the New World Stages.

challenges: It is also a story about Dreamers. That resonates with Sean Ewing, the actor who plays Valdovinos in the musical.

“I think that has always been my passion with this piece, delivering and acknowledging the repre-

ing for,” said Ewing.

E , Colombian, said the play is important for the Latin community, and for the message it delivers about the thousands of Dreamers “who still dream today about the opportunity to live the American dream.” “¡Americano!,” which ends its run at New World Stages on Sunday, comes as DACA is turning 10 – an anniversary that sparked ater to meet with Valdovinos and four other DACA recipients – and as advocates are mounting a new push to win immigration reform.

DACA has survived several legal and political challenges over the past

decade, but it is far from secure. A federal judge in Texas last year found DACA had been created improperly and ordered the government to stop processing new applications. The Biden administration has challenged that ruling, with arguments set for the appeal in July.

SPORTS EXTRA POINT WITH TOM DANEHY & RECREATION Athlete of the Year: Flowing Wells’ Navine Mallon TOM DANEHY Special to Tucson Local Media

T

he Northwest area of Tucson—from Oro Valley to Marana—has a rich athletic tradition dating back nearly a century (although, for some reason, the website for the Marana School District says that it was formed in 2015). This year, as schools (and the nation) emerged from the pandemic, there were several outstanding athletic performances this , country meet in late Au-

of the State Track Meet in mid-May. Choosing just one athlete can be daunting. It could be Mountain View’s , chored the line for Coach Matt Johnson’s Mountain Lions last fall and then won two State throw ti-

spring. It could have been Marana super freshman Dezman Roebuck, who was an instant impact player in football and Defensive Player of the Year in basketball. Or, perhaps his sister, Makayla, who played basketball for the Tigers, was an All-Region pick in beach volleyball and placed at State in wrestling.

In the end, our choice for Outstanding Athlete is Navine Mallon of Flowing Wells. A multi-sport athlete and straight-A student, Mallon is a leader on and off the court. She anchored the Caballero basketball team that reached the 5A State Championship game for the second consecutive year. (They also lost to Millennium for the second consecutive year.)

Said one opposing coach of Mallon; “(Navine) is just about perfect. You play against her team and think, ‘Yeah, she’s pretty

good.’ And then you look at her stat line and she had 14 points, 12 rebounds, , , and a couple blocked shots. She’s ridiculous.”

While Millennium has won a crazy four straight State championships, the title of 5A State Player of the Year went to Mallon. “That’s kinda cool,” she says, but she would gladly trade it for a State championship.

“We tried so hard (last year). We did all the lifting, the running, the conditioning. We improved our shooting and defense.

We did everything that champions do, but…” Her voice trails off.

While she would take some time to compete for the Caballero track team, her focus from the moment the buzzer sounded to end the championship game has been to not only get back there, but to win it all in her senior season.

(She scored for her team

by grabbing sixth place at State in the shot put.)

She is continuing to work toward her senior year.

She is no stranger to hard work, having come back from ACL surgery after her freshman year at Flowing Wells. She works on her own, plays with the Flowing Wells team in a summer league, and plays on one of those club teams. (At press time, she was in Phoenix at one of those meat-market AAU tournaments that allow overpriced college coaches to pick out kids without having to do any real recruiting.)

Navine has received a few college nibbles so far, but being a tweener (an undersized player who plays down low against the taller opponents), it’s going to be interesting to see who offers her a scholarship. That doesn’t concern her right now.

She knows that she’s going to go to college and

LISTEN NOW

she knows that she’s going to play ball. (She has an older sister who ran cross country and played basketball at Smith.)

Her senior year will present an extra challenge for her. Flowing Wells, which had been competing at the 5A level for the past few years, will be in 4A this coming year.

Her Region opponents will include perennial powerhouses Pueblo and Sahuaro, both of which have been ion the State championship game in a past four years and Salpointe, the defending 4A State champion.

“It should be fun.”

Our pick for Northwest Coach of the Year is Canyon Del Oro baseball coach Jason Hisey, who coached the Dorados to the Class 4A State championship last month. CDO sixth inning to take what, ,

comfortable lead against in-town rival Salpointe.

But the Lancers put on a furious rally of their own in the bottom of the seventh to erase any of the aforementioned comfort.

CDO held on for a 7-6 win and the title.

Hisey, who pitched for the University of Arizona in the late 1980s, has a storied career in local coaching circles, with successful stops at Pima Community College, Ironwood Ridge High, and Catalina Foothills. He had three Foothills teams reach the State championship game (2002, 2004, and 2005).

But this, in his 17th sea, He is very quick to share the credit for the championship with his staff, his players and the Dorado fans. Hisey even gives a nod to history.

“That’s what CDO baseball does, right? They win State championships.”

Horoscope By Holiday Mathis ARIES (March 21-April 19). New habits are fragile. Unexpected and extra events such as visits, travel, projects and other challenges could throw off your rhythms and delay your goals. So take advantage of the less hectic early week, perfectly suited to repeating behaviors you want to habituate so they’ll be ingrained when life gets trickier.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Those on a these types because their mission will

on the hunt for fun, which will involve joining with agreeable people who keep it light and bring a spark of playful curiosity to the picture.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The secret to your charisma may be known to others but not to you because the very nature of your charm is unselfconsciousness. Having fame and power isn’t your goal, though it may come as a byproduct of your passion and dedication to the goal. Part of your appeal is that you don’t care to whom you appeal.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). There is a wealth of knowledge that happens at a deeper level than the one where words can explain what you know, and this is worth working on, but in the meantime your intuitive leanings shouldn’t be discounted. Act on instinct.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). To connect in perfectly mannerly ways, which fall neatly within the acceptable boundaries of mutually understood roles, were it even possible, would be pointless. The ensuing boredom would only ruin the social arena for all. So go on, make an honest mess and enjoy the unfolding excitement in relationships this week.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Pride goeth , pride will matter here. Letting people know what you do isn’t about pride but usefulness. The process goes better when they trust you, so your credentials matter.

Explaining your expertise isn’t bragging; it’s making the process easier for all.
