Recount nears completion

Random precinct count Friday is all that remains

BY SHAR PORIER shar.porier@bisbeereview.net

BISBEE — For the past three days, the staff at the Cochise County Elections

Office have been recounting ballots in the election for the U.S. House of Representatives District 2 seat.

Wednesday, election workers finished the job of counting ballots and determined there was a one ballot discrepancy from the more than 32,000 ballots that were recorded and canvassed in the Nov. 4 general election.

All that remains for Cochise County to complete the formal recount process is a hand count of three random precincts, which will be done Friday morning.

“That shouldn’t take us very long,” said the county’s new Elections Director Katie Howard. “What is going to take some time is for me to find where the one ballot

discrepancy is. I don’t know why we have this difference, but I’m going to figure it out.

Logically, I can’t give you an answer.”

Howard and Martha Reynolds, elections program coordinator, were busy Wednesd ay a f t e r n o o n d i g g i n g through stacks of papers from the precincts and from early ballot counts.

“I am going to figure this out,” Howard promised the representatives of the incu mbent c a ndid ate Rep. Ron Barber and candidate Martha McSally.

Due to an equipment failure on election night, the first count of the ballots was

WINNERS HAD GREAT FUN

SIERRA VISTA — With a history of conducting a strictly verbal evaluation of the city manager, the Sierra Vista City Council has taken i nterest i n developi ng a more standardized process, to include a paper trail.

While staff has been researching a written form under direction from the council, Council Member Tom Reardon brought the issue up at Tuesday’s work session, offering his final recom mendations before leaving the council at the end of the month. He wants to see a formalized procedure that would compile each council member’s opinion into a single document representing the council as a whole, which could be discussed with the city manager in executive session.

“We’re no longer a small town … I think it’s important for us to elevate the city manager evaluation to meet t h at new envi ron ment ,” Reardon said.

He was also concerned that some of the areas the council may be asked to rate the city manager on are not necessarily observable by all the council members, for instance, how the manager interacts with the general public.

Mayor Rick Mueller said he agrees that meeting with the city manager as a whole council makes good sense but he thinks it’s important for individual council members to share their personal expectations, too. He also thinks it’s incumbent on city council members to talk to people internally and externally in order to judge the city manager’s performance in certain areas.

That said, he also believes city council members should be able to leave certain fields unfilled, denoting them as

FROM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BRAZIL PANEL DETAILS 1BRUTALITY MILITARY REGIME’S Brazil took its most significant step yet to address the human rights violations of its military dictatorship on Wednesday, releasing an exhaustive report that documents nearly two decades of government-approved political killings and torture.

After 30 years of impunity for crimes of the state, the National Truth Commission report names 377 people allegedly responsible for 434 deaths and disappearances, and thousands of acts of torture. The list includes top regime figures who instituted policies of persecution, and lowly soldiers who carried them out.

The nearly 2,000-page report describes crimes against humanity in excruciating detail, and calls for the perpetrators to be prosecuted.

WHALES INCREASING IN 2 HUMPBACK WATERS NEAR N.Y.C. Maybe they want to sing on Broadway.

Humpback whales, the gigantic, endangered mammals known for their haunting underwater songs, have been approaching New York City in greater numbers than even old salts can remember.

Naturalists aboard whale-watching boats have seen humpbacks in the Atlantic Ocean within a mile of the Rockaway peninsula, part of New York’s borough of Queens, within sight of Manhattan’s skyscrapers. Humpbacks were spotted 87 times from the boats this year, and by cataloging the whales’ markings, at least 19 different humpbacks have been identified in the waters off the city.

CABINET MEMBER DEAD 3 PALESTINIAN AFTER ISRAEL CLASH A Palestinian Cabinet member died Wednesday after a scuffle with Israeli troops during a West Bank protest, and images of an Israeli officer grabbing the 55-year-old by the throat before he collapsed quickly stirred Palestinian anger at a time of badly strained relations with Israel.

An autopsy has yet to determine what killed Ziad Abu Ain, but Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas called him the victim of a “clear crime” and a “barbaric act.” He decreed three days of mourning for the minister, whose portfolio included organizing protests against Israeli settlements and the West Bank separation barrier.

The incident threatened to further inflame tensions between Israel and the Palestinians.

TO REUNITE WITH DAD FOUND 4 SON AFTER 12 DAYS AT SEA The estranged son of a 67-year-old Hawaii fisherman rescued after 12 days at sea says the ordeal has motivated him to reunite with the man after not speaking to him since the 1990s.

His father, Ron Ingraham, arrived Wednesday on the Hawaiian island of Molokai, where he lives on his boat that was towed to shore by the Coast Guard. He was found dehydrated and hungry Tuesday after being missing since Thanksgiving, when the Coast Guard picked up his first mayday call. He radioed that he was in danger of sinking nearly 50 miles from the Big Island. Coast Guard officials sought to contact his next of kin, son Zakary Ingraham, 43, in Missouri. They were unable to reach him until the following Monday, the day they decided to suspend the search.

CONGRESSIONAL DEAL UPENDS POT LEGALIZATION IN D.C.

Elected officials and drug-policy advocates hoped to make the nation’s capital the first place on the East Coast with legal pot. They wanted to use the District of Columbia as further encouragement for states to make their own marijuana laws, and they were optimistic that Congress wouldn’t intervene, pointing to a Republican caucus that’s far from unified against pot.

Those hopes were crushed late Tuesday when Congress reached a $1.1 trillion spending deal that bars the District from legalizing marijuana. The move by Congress followed a familiar playbook when District leaders try to enact social policies that conservatives on Capitol Hill disagree with. Rather than trying to vote down the pot initiative — which Congress has the power to do — opponents placed language in an essential spending bill that would prevent the city from spending any money to enact it.

This photo taken Dec. 8 shows Alameda County Deputy Sheriff Jorge Ferreira in front of the REACH Crime Prevention unit in San Leandro, Calif. Jorge “Jinho” Ferreira feels the tension between being black and carrying a badge every day as a sheriff’s deputy in Alameda County, Calif.

POLICE STRADDLE A LINE BETWEEN 6 BLACK RACE AND DUTY Jorge “Jinho” Ferreira feels the tension between being black and carrying a badge every day as a sheriff’s deputy in Alameda County, Calif.

“I feel like you have to prove yourself on every level,” said Ferreira, 39, who patrols about 30 miles east of San Francisco.

“You have to prove yourself to the black community, you have to prove yourself to all of your co-workers, you have to prove yourself to society.”

With the nation roiled by two grand juries’ recent decisions not to indict white police officers in the deaths of unarmed black men, some black officers say that as they enforce the law, they also wonder whether the system they’re sworn to uphold is stacked against black men.

In interviews conducted by Associated Press reporters across the nation, retired and active black officers expressed concern about how black men are treated by the largely white police forces in the United States, an issue that has led to protests alleging police brutality. The officers say they want change just as much as anyone else, and advocate for it where they can because they, too, have something to lose.

Caught in the middle are blacks working in law enforcement. There were an estimated 55,267 AfricanAmericans in local police departments and an additional 15,500 in sheriff’s departments in 2007, the latest information available from the Justice Department.

“We’re called things like Uncle Toms and traitors to our community, in spite of the fact that we sympathize or we agree with the anger that our community holds, because we feel that same anger,” said Noel Leader, a retired New York City police sergeant who in 1995 co-founded an advocacy group, 100 Blacks In Law Enforcement Who Care.

SETS LETTERMAN’S LAST SHOW 7 CBS FOR MAY 20 More than 32 years of late-night talk will pass into history next May 20, with CBS’ announcement Wednesday that David Letterman will host his final “Late Show” on that day.

If Letterman makes all of his scheduled broadcasts until then, CBS said he will have hosted 6,028 versions of the “Late Show” and its NBC predecessor, “Late Night.” Letterman moved to CBS in 1993.

Letterman, 67, announced his impending retirement last April. CBS later named Stephen Colbert of Comedy Central as Letterman’s replacement. Colbert hosts the last episode of “The Colbert Report” next week.

CBS has not announced when Colbert will take over the “Late Show.”

Letterman debuted on “Late Night” on NBC on Feb. 1, 1982.

He jumped to CBS when NBC named Jay Leno instead of him as Johnny Carson’s successor on the “Tonight” show.

LAWMAKERS NARROW LETHAL 8 OHIO INJECTION BILL Ohio lawmakers on Wednesday removed a provision from a death penalty bill that doctors and drugmakers warned could have led to shortages of a key drug and set anesthesiology back 20 years.

At issue was a requirement that would have told drugmakers they couldn’t restrict distribution of drugs that could be used in executions. Opponents of the requirement warned the European Union would quickly ban the export of the anesthetic propofol to the U.S. if Ohio’s bill became law.

Europe supplies almost 90 percent of propofol used in the United States and no similar drug shares its safety and effectiveness, Dr. Robert Small, an anesthesiologist representing the Ohio Society of Anesthesiologists, told the Senate Civil Justice Committee.

The president of a company whose drugs include propofol said the restriction would have a “cascading effect” that would harm patients and their families in Ohio.

CIA fights back after torture report WASHINGTON (AP) — Top spies past and present campaigned Wednesday to discredit the Senate’s investigation into the CIA’s harrowing torture practices after 9/11, battling to define the historical record and deter potential legal action around the world.

The Senate intelligence committee’s report doesn’t urge prosecution for wrongdoing, and the Justice Department has no interest in reopening a criminal probe.

But the threat to former interrogators and their superiors was underlined as a U.N. special investigator demanded those responsible for “systematic crimes” be brought to justice, and human rights groups pushed for the arrest of key CIA and Bush administration figures if they travel overseas.

Current and former CI A of ficials pushed back, determined to paint the Senate report as a political stunt by Senate Democrats tarnishing a program that saved American lives. It is a “one-sided study marred by errors of fact and interpretation — essentially a poorly done and partisan attack on the agency that has done the most to protect America,” former CIA directors George Tenet, Porter Goss and Michael Hayden wrote in a Wall Street Journal opinion piece.

Hayden was singled out by Senate investigators for what they said was a string of misleading or outright false statements he gave in 2007 about the importance of the CIA’s brutal treatment of detainees in thwarting terrorist attacks. He described the focus on him as “ironic on so many levels” as any wrongdoing predated his arrival at the CIA. “They were far too interested in yelling at me,” Hayden said in an email to The Associated Press.

The intelligence committee’s 500-page release concluded that the CIA inflicted suffering on al-Qaida prisoners beyond its legal authority and that none of the agency’s “enhanced interrogations” provided critical, life-saving intelligence. It cited the CIA’s own records, documenting in detail how waterboarding and lesser-known techniques such as “rectal feeding” were actually employed.

The CIA is now in the uncomfortable position of defending itself publicly, given its basic mission to protect the country secretly. Its 136-page rebuttal suggests Senate Democrats searched through millions of documents to pull out only the evidence backing up pre-determined conclusions.

“That’s like doing a crossword puzzle on Tuesday with Wednesday’s answer’s key,” the CIA said in an emailed statement.

Challenging one of the report’s most explosive arguments — that harsh interrogation techniques didn’t lead to Osama bin Laden — the CIA pointed to questioning of Ammar al-Baluchi, who revealed how an al-Qaida operative relayed messages to and from bin Laden after he departed Afghanistan. Before then, the CIA said, it only knew that courier Abu Ahmad alKuwaiti interacted with bin Laden in 2001 when the al-Qaida leader was accessible to many of his followers. Al-Kuwaiti eventually led the U.S. to bin Laden’s compound in Pakistan.

Poring over the same body of evidence as the investigators, the CIA insisted most of the 20 case studies cited in the Senate report actually illustrated how enhanced interrogations helped disrupt plots, capture terrorists and prevent another 9/11-type attack. The agency said it obtained legal authority for its actions from the Justice Department and White House, and made “good faith” efforts to keep congressional leaders informed.

Former CIA officials responsible for the program echoed these points in interviews.

John McLaughlin, then deputy CIA director, said waterboarding and other tactics transformed Sept. 11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed into a U.S. “consultant” on al-Qaida.

Tenet, the director on Sept. 11, 2001, said the interrogation program “saved thousands of Americans lives” while the country faced a “ticking time bomb every day.”

Vice President Dick Cheney also pushed back. And former top CIA officials published a website — ciasavedlives.com — pointing out decade-old statements from Sens. Dianne Feinstein and Jay Rockefeller in apparent support of agency efforts.

The two Democrats spearheaded the Senate investigation.

Nearly 9 in 10 people doubt Obama, GOP can break gridlock

BY JENNIFER AGIESTA AND EMILY SWANSON The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Americans may not agree on much lately, but one opinion is nearly universal: There’s almost no chance that President Barack Obama, a Democrat, and the Republican Congress can work together to solve the country’s problems.

A new Associated Press-GfK poll finds just 13 percent of Americans are confident the leaders, separated by nearly 2 miles of Pennsylvania Avenue, can work together, while 86 percent have no such faith.

That’s far more than the 58 percent who felt that way just

after the 2010 midterm elections in which the tea party movement rose to prominence.

The doubts cross party lines: Fewer than 1 in 5 Democrats or independents have confidence the two sides can cooperate. Republicans are even more pessimistic, with just 1 in 10 confident Obama and Congress can work together.

Those who lack confidence spread the blame around: 41 percent say neither side would do enough to work together, 35 percent place more blame on the Republicans, 22 percent on the president.

Neither side holds much hope things are going to get better, either. Just 16 percent

think the president is likely to restore public trust in government in the next two years, while 20 percent feel congressional Republicans will.

Robert Cole, 65, says both Democrats and Republicans deserve blame for Washington’s stalemate: “If you want to place the blame, it rests on the American voter.”

“They’re not doing their jobs, and we as the electorate are stupid in sending the same people back and expecting things to change,” said Cole, a retiree who lives in Ocala, Florida.

But not everyone sees cooperation as a positive.

“In my view, the Republicans

were doing what they needed to do to block a harmful agenda coming from the executive branch,” said Ron Tykoski, 42, a paleontologist from Nevada, Texas.

What does the public think they’ll be able to do? A majority say Obama is likely to prevent Congress from repealing the health care law passed in 2010, while nearly half say the GOP is likely to block Obama’s executive order on immigration. Another 42 percent think the GOP will block or roll back Obama’s environmental regulations. Fewer think either side will be able to enact the policies on their agenda.

Tamara Watson, 35, a high

school teacher in West Columbia, South Carolina, said immigration and health care are the two issues where both sides do need to work together.

She sees Republicans as the bigger roadblock.

Politic a l g rid lock itsel f ranks pretty low on the issue scale, 47 percent call it extremely or very important compared with 83 percent who say the economy is important, 76 percent who consider health care a key issue and 64 percent who say unemployment is important.

Respondents were first selected randomly using phone or mail survey methods and later interviewed online.

Faith in government

I

t’s hard for taxpayers to put their faith in state government when there are headlines that 169 employees received unauthorized pay raises — some as much as 20 percent.

Tuesday The Arizona Republic broke the news after reviewing records the newspaper requested from the Department of Administration.

During the 12 months between July 2013 and July 2014, three elected state officials were among those who handed out pay raises without obtaining the required approval of the DOA. The procedure to grant an employee a wage increase was part of Gov. Jan. Brewer’s initiative to reform the state’s personnel practices, which lawmakers approved in 2012.

Instead, Attorney General Tom Horne, schools Superintendent John Huppenthal and newly-elected governor Doug Ducey, the former state treasurer, along with other state officials, ignored legislative procedures and awarded state employees more money.

We’re talking healthy raises at a time when the state economy is lagging behind the nation and with Arizona facing a budget deficit of as much as $1 billion by 2016.

Even more disturbing than the fact that some officials ignored the stateapproved procedure is the attitude expressed in a statement issued by Huppenthal’s office.

“As a department led by an elected official, it was felt that the superintendent should have the ability to determine the appropriate salary for staff within the budgetary limitation of the agency, not the Department of Administration.”

But that’s not the law.

When state officials demonstrate the kind of arrogance expressed by the head of the Department of Education and blatantly ignore the procedures approved by lawmakers governing employee raises, why is there any reason to believe that state government will abide the changes necessary to solve its impending budget crisis?

If you’re wondering what the state plans to do about this violation of its own rules, it’s a quick and easy answer.

Nothing.

It is our sad nature to assign the acts of one, or of a few, to the many (see: Islam) and that’s one reason why we appear to be going nowhere when it comes to racial harmony in this country.

The other day while police escorted students from Denver East High School in a peaceful protest over events in Ferguson and Queens, N.Y., a motorist inadvertently slammed into four officers, critically injuring one.

Police asserted that a few students cheered the accident.

Denver Post reporters on the scene said they heard nothing of the sort.

Nonetheless, Fox News reported, “Denver high school students protesting recent civilian deaths involving police chanted “Hit him again!”

Whatever the case, by all reports, most of the students — of many colors — behaved just as peaceful protesters should. They were aghast.

What happened in Denver and wherever police do their jobs brought home the collective sacrifice they make, the collective dangers they face.

The destruction in Ferguson and at a few other protests around the country brought home the fact that a few idiots can succeed in distracting the easily distracted masses from the justifiable grievances others seek to address.

One of the under-reported stories

of the civil rights movement was the extent to which Martin Luther King Jr. went to keep people peaceful and peaceable in the protest marches he led.

In fact, King ROM THE WEST pulled out of a muchanticipated march LOOKING EAST in Memphis just as it began when a few JOHN YOUNG hooligans started breaking windows. He didn’t want his movement associated with idiots. Of course, opponents of the movement quickly supplied the linkage between King and the worst kind of behavior. So, too, with the destruction in Ferguson.

When the TV scenes show flames, it’s easy for those who aren’t there to assume the worst about generally peaceable people.

So, too, of course, in generalizing about police.

That doesn’t mean the protesters don’t have a legitimate grievance.

They do indeed.

I spoke to an African-American in Central Texas who likes to customize cars and who has a dazzling set of wheels. He constantly gets stopped by police — the quintessential crime of “driving while black.”

No one who doesn’t share his pigment can understand the added dimensions this man’s life assumes simply by stepping out the door.

As to injustices, when I read John McWhorter’s words, “Black bodies are devalued,” in Time

magazine, I didn’t think of Michael Brown or Trayvon Martin. I thought of the frantic search in the summer of 1964 for Mississippi civil rights workers Andrew Goodman, Mickey Schwerner and James Chaney — frantic only because Goodman and Schwerner were white.

When dredging creeks and ponds looking for the three, whose grisly deaths shocked the country, searchers found a succession of unidentified black bodies.

What had sealed victims’ fates?

Registering to vote? Whistling at a white woman? No calls for justice would ring out on their behalf.

Back to King. Though he and his fellow protesters faced horrific indignities at the hands of police, at some point police became allies in the movement by making it possible for participants to carry out what King wanted — calculated nonviolence. That’s all we can hope for some day in this land — that “the few” on either side will become fewer still. Fewer cops will shoot first or otherwise use excessive force. Fewer protesters will see communal outrage as reason to break and enter.

Maybe that day, because of King’s successes and the example his movement set, fewer of us will be in our neutral corners on matters of race, and all will be outraged about pointless violence.

These contributions are used to fund extracurricular activities of the students to include: sports, band, speech, debate, FFA, JROTC and field trips.

Contributions of $200 for a single tax filer or $400 when filing jointly will allow the contributor to subtract that amount as a tax credit from their Arizona State Income Tax. So if your tax liability is greater than that amount you will get the money back when you file your yearly tax return.

You do not have to contribute that amount. If you contribute less than $200 per taxpayer you can deduct the amount you contribute from your tax liability. So contribute to the schools now and get it back as soon as you file your tax return.

You can also contribute to more than one school or school district.

You can take the tax credit for the amount you contribute in total up to the limits of $200 or $400. This allows parents with students in two or more districts to support those districts where their children (or grandchildren, neighbors, friends) attend school.

This is a great opportunity to designate money from your taxes to support the public education system.

These contributions cannot be used to pay salaries or other operating expenses of the schools; they must go directly to supporting programs for the kids.

Contributions must be made by Dec. 31 and many districts accept

credit or debit through their online system. Just go to the school district website and look for the tax credit or call the district (or school) office and they can direct you how they accept payment of the credit.

OUR READERS’ VIEWS First secure the border To the Editor: In a letter published on Dec. 2 Mr. Smittenaar lists a number of executive orders issued by presidents over the years. I will not disagree with his statement because I have no idea which president issued which order.

I was stationed in Germany in 1956 when the Hungarian uprising occurred and President Eisenhower ordered the military to set up tent cities with mess halls and aid stations as a humanitarian gesture to care for the refugees. I just don’t understand why he would use an executive order when as the Commander in Chief when he could just tell the military to “getter-done.”

If memory serves me correctly the refugees asked for political asylum and the majority stayed in Western Europe. Are you sure he used an executive order?

Unless the border is first secured, the president’s executive order is an amnesty program that will recur every few years. In the 1980s President Reagan signed an amnesty bill for millions of illegals after the Democratic Congress promised that the border would be secured. After the bill was signed they conveniently forgot their promise. And here we go again; does anyone believe the border is secure?

I have never questioned the president’s religion or his nationality.

His “lawless conduct” however is another matter. I seriously question his ideology and you can bet your

bottom dollar “I have no shame” in strongly objecting to his issuing orders that even he admits is a violation of the Constitution.

Thank you to the donors To the Editor: I would like to say thank you to our donors, volunteers and the VFW for supporting another outstanding Salvation Army Thanksgiving meal.

We couldn’t have done it without the help of all of you.

Our thanks also to all of our volunteer bell ringers and those who give to the kettles. We would also like to thank those who are purchasing toys for the children on our giving tree. We truly appreciate the ongoing support — support that is muchneeded. Please remember us when you see the red kettles.

God bless and have a Merry Christmas!

Time to think of tax credits To the Editor: Now is the time to remember your schools and students if you haven’t already. Anyone can contribute to the schools via Extracurricular Tax Credits, you don’t need to have a student in the school.

Several random acts of kindness To the Editor: I am blessed with the world’s greatest neighbor. He always returns my trash and recycle bins to their places knowing I need his help.

Last week my husband decided to wander — he is in the latter stages of Alzheimers — I was deeply disturbed, knowing he wouldn’t know his way home.

Tom walked over the neighborhood to find him. This was remarkable, but especially so because this occurred at 5 a.m.

My friend Tom performs acts of kindness all throughout the year,not just at the holiday season.

McSally named to two House committees

Armed Services Committee, McSally said she could not ask for a better assignment.

“I’m honored to serve on a committee that has such a large impact on our district a nd cou nt r y,” said McSally.

As a member of the Armed Services Committee, McSally will have direct input on legislation affecting U.S. military policy.

McSally, who retired from the Air Force as a Colonel in 2010, served 26 years in the military and has two master’s degrees — one from Harvard and one from the U.S. Air War College — focused on national security.

She also served in two joint assignments and six deployments to the Middle East/Afghanistan for operations in Iraq and Afghanistan and led oversight of cou nter-ter rori sm missions in Africa.

She further emphasized local concerns in her comments regarding her appointment to the House Homeland Security Committee.

“I’m glad that I’ll have the chance to work directly on an issue that is so important to the people of Southern Arizona,” said McSal ly. “The safety and security of our communities is a top priority and I look forward to working with my colleagues on the Homeland Security Committee to represent Southern Arizonans on this critical issue.”

A ri zon a’s S econd District includes 83.5 miles of the U.S.-Mexico border and is one of nine Congressional districts that includes a portion of the Southwest border.

SIERRA VISTA — Yet to be seated congresswoman Martha McSally has already b e en app oi nt e d t o two committees that will be called to order when the 114th Congress begins its work on Jan. 3, 2015.

McSa l ly’s spokesperson, Patrick Ptak, issued press releases Wednesday announcing the appointments to the House Armed Services Committee and the Homeland Security Committee.

McSally is currently le adi ng i ncu mb ent c on g r e s s m a n , Ron Barber, in a recount of the Nov. 4 general election. The recount is required by Arizona law after canvassed election results showed McSally won the contest by less than .01 percent — 161 votes — in a contest that tabulated more than 220,000 ballots for Congressional District 2.

Cochise County election workers began the recount process this week and were expected to finish the task by Friday. Portions of Pima County also reside within the congressional district and election workers were also busy this week completi ng a recount of all ballots recorded on election night in that county.

I f McSa l ly’s margin of victory holds through the recount she w i l l t r avel t o Washington, D.C., to begin her congressional service on Jan. 3.

Wednesday, her comments ref lected the significance of her appointments on local issues.

Drought dominating Colorado River states meeting

BY KEN RITTER The Associated Press

LAS VEGAS — Amid worries that crucial multi-state water agreements are beginning to erode due to concerns about supply and ongoing drought, representatives of seven Colorado River basin states are emphasizing cooperation during annual meetings this week in Las Vegas.

David Modeer, general manager of the Central Arizona Project and keynote speaker at the conference on Thursday, is pointing to a new agreement aimed at keeping 4 feet of Arizona water in Lake Mead through 2017.

The deal involves CAP, the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, the Southern Nevada Water Authority and the federal Bureau of Reclamation. Modeer said California, Nevada and Bureau of Reclamation conservation efforts could yield another 6 feet of elevation at the lake, for a total of 10 feet.

“If the river continues its decline, everyone is affected,” Modeer said in an interview ahead of the three-day conference at the Caesars Palace resort on the Las Vegas Strip. “We need co-

water goes out of Lake Mead than goes in,” he said.

The agreement was approved last week by the Central Arizona Project board, and approved Wednesday by the SNWA board.

Bob Muir, spokesman for Metropolitan, said board members of the Los Angeles-area agency were notified of the agreement Monday.

Modeer said Arizona aims to keep water in Lake Mead by using local water supplies for Phoenix instead of reservoir water. He said CAP was also working on agreements with farmers to use less water.

The conference in Las Vegas involving the upper basin states of Wyoming, Colorado, Utah and New Mexico and lower basin states Arizona, California and Nevada came amid a flood of developments about water in the West.

Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper received a report Wednesday calling for his state to capture and use every legal drop of Rocky Mountain snowmelt before it flows downstream. Colorado cities are projected to grow from 5.5 million today to up to 9 million by 2050, and farmland is going dry as cities buy out farmers to get their water.

operation among the states that use the water.”

Officials acknowledge the effort to prop up the water level is a short-term fix. But keeping the water level higher than 1,075 feet above sea level is key to avoiding agreed-upon cuts in water deliveries to Arizona, Nevada and California.

Lake Mead stood Wednesday at a little under 1,085 feet above sea level — only 10 feet above shortage declaration.

The reservoir behind Hoover Dam is the key measuring point of water in the vast Colorado River system that also includes the Green, San Juan and Gila rivers and some 55 dams and diversions. The basin is home to some 40 million people and 4 million acres of farmland.

Lake Mead dropped to historic levels this year after almost 15 years of regional drought, leaving a distinctive white mineral “bathtub ring” on surrounding canyon walls.

John Entsminger, genera l manager of the Southern Nevada Water Authority in Las Vegas, called the plan to create what he termed a “system conservation agreement” a template for future pacts.

California is expected to experience, forecasters say.

“It’s a short amount of time for that amount of water,” weather service forecaster Diana Henderson said. “We are anticipating some localized f looding, maybe some downed trees and downed power lines. It could have an effect on a wide range of people.”

The storm is expected to be one of the windiest and rainiest in five years and could also cause debris slides, especially in areas affected by this year’s intense and widespread wildfires. Big waves are expected along the coast.

Wind gusts of up to 70 mph were expected on mountain tops, creating possible blizzard conditions in the Sierra. Rain, pounding surf and gusty wi nds were forec ast for Southern California starting Thursday evening.

SA N F R A NCISCO (A P) — A p ower f u l storm expected to pack hurricane force winds and heavy rain triggered emergency preparations across Northern California on Wednesday, with residents gathering sand bags, crews clearing storm drains and San F rancisco school officials canceling classes for the first time since 9/11.

As much as 8 inches of rain could fall on coastal mountains over a 24hour period starting late Wednesday, the National Weather Service said.

Ski resor t s i n t he northern Sierra Nevada could get more than 2 feet of snow before the storm moves through S out her n Ca l i for ni a and to the east with less strength through states including Nevada, Idaho, Arizona and New Mexico. Those states could get rain and snow, but nothing like what

We just lost the sweetest, most generous, loving wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother on the planet. She died at the Sierra Vista Regional Health Center with her husband and two daughters at her side.

Jeanette had a hard last five years, suffering several severe falls.

Jeanette was born in Fargo, N.D, to Doyle and Magda Ogren and raised across the Red River in Moorhead, Minn. She graduated from Moorhead State High School College in 1949. She then attended business college and started her career as a secretary. She was the mother of three daughters and a longtime Army wife married to MSG Clarence Reynolds.

She spent almost 12 years in Germany and was the secretary at Frankfurt High School.

Jeanette was a 40 year resident of Sierra Vista and was a secretary in Greely Hall, DEH and finally in the Post Commander’s office. She medically retired from there as the result of a stroke in 1988 with 20 years of federal service.

She was predeceased by her parents, her oldest daughter Beth Reno, her brother Doyle Ogren and her first husband, Clarence Reynolds.

She is survived by her devastated husband, Richard Petty; his son Richard and wife Tonya and daughter Jade in Oroville, Calif.; daughters Lynn DeMello of Tucson, Ariz., Lynn’s daughter Cami Yeager and great-granddaughter Gwen of Tucson, Ariz.; Gail Gustavson and her daughter Alexandria Zingale of Sierra Vista, Ariz.; and her only grandson Matt Capas of Sierra Vista, Ariz., and his son Ryan of Phoenix, Ariz. She has several nieces and nephews in the area. She would also want to remember her two closest friends Dicksie McDaniel of Tucson, Ariz., and Diane Gorzoch of Portland, Ore. Jeanette was an avid reader and an accomplished oil painter. She was a longtime member of the Huachuca Art Association. She was the most intuitive, irreverent fun to be with person. She will be so missed and never forgotten by those who loved her. Good bye my Sweetie.

Most of our longtime co-workers and friends have either died or moved away, so there will be no funeral services.

A viewing will be held for family and friends on Dec. 12 between 5 p.m. and 8 p.m. at Hatfield Funeral Home.

ON THIS DATE Today is Thursday, December 11, 2014.

On this date in 1915, University of Arizona students built the huge letter “A’’ on Sentinel Peak in the Tucson Mountains.

On this date in 1933, the natural gas pipeline from El Paso reached Tucson and a 40-foot torch was lighted in celebration.

COUNCIL: Calhoun: city manager evaluation key document

“not observed.”

“I agree that doing an overall evaluation is the right thing to do,” Council Member Rachel Gray said.

She does think it’s also important to touch base with the city manager individually throughout the year but the formalized evaluation should be from the council as a whole.

Council Member Gwen Calhoun said she thinks the city is in good shape with the work City Manager Chuck Potucek has done, but there’s not written record showing his evaluation over the year that she’s aware of.

“We need to have documentation of our actions,” Ca l hou n said. T he city m a n a ger eva lu at ion i s a key document to have on record.

Cit y C ou nci l Memb er Tom Crosby voiced his disagreement with the council — manager form of government itself, saying it leads to the growth of government and that there’s more direction from the city manager to the council

Objective measures After the council directed staff to change the evaluation process, Potucek reviewed the form human resources came up with and thinks it could be localized.

“Each council and their manager needs to develop process that works best for their city,” Potucek said.

For Sierra Vista, that would include an evaluation of the manager’s working relationship with Fort Huachuca, which is of critical local concern.

He also offered a variety of objective metrics and can be included, in addition to the subjective aspects inherent to any evaluation.

He listed a wide variety of measures like audit findings, crime rates, turnover rates, and lawsuits, which could help provide objective assessments of a manager’s performance in different areas.

Regardless of what the council decides, Potucek admitted that, in his 29th year with the city, he is not in the beginning of his

career and this evaluation procedure will pertain not just to him, but future city managers and councils.

“There’s a lot that goes i nto t he job,” Pot uc ek said. “I think it’s important to focus on what Sierra Vista needs out of their manager.”

Mueller said he agrees that there needs to both an objective report and a subjective portion to the evaluation and requested that staff begin to put together a draft for the council to look at.

Potucek said staff will st rive to have a rough d ra f t ready for counci l discussion by the Jan. 9 administrative retreat.

At that point, new council members Alesia Ash and Craig Mount will also be able to take par t in the discussion.

“The conversation we’ve had today was excellent, it’s exactly what I’d hoped we’d have,” Reardon said.

He thinks documentation of the evaluation process is vital.

“That protects both the city manager and the city council,” Reardon said.

SIERRA VISTA — Quick work by a U.S. Border Patrol agent and a passing motorist helped prevent a fire from spreading to nearby homes last week.

Shortly before 2:30 a.m. on Thursday, Dec. 4, a U.S. Border Patrol agent assigned to the Sonoita Station was traveling to his assigned

area when he noticed what appeared to be a travel-trailer on fire in the Sierra Vista area.

The agent arrived at the scene at the same time as another man and his teenage son, who were looking to assist.

The agent and father attempted to alert residents of the fire by banging loudly on

the exterior walls, while the teenager was instructed to call 911.

W hile the agent attempted to disconnect a propane tank from the burning structure, the man was able to open a side door to the home and determine that it was unoccupied. The men then knocked on the doors of sev-

er a l nei g hb or i n g homes to alert them of the possible danger should the propane tank explode.

A f ew m i nut e s later, Sierra Vista and F r y Fi re de pa r t ment p ersonn e l a r r iv e d a n d were able to extinguish the fire, and also confirmed that the structure was vacant.

AT A GLANCE S. Az. man gets 488-yr prison sentence TUCSON (AP) — A Tucson-area man has been sentenced to 488 years in prison in a child sexual exploitation and molestation case. Pima County prosecutors say 47-yearold Ronald Paul Gulli was sentenced Tuesday and state law requires the prison

completed by equipment in Graham County. The equipment was subsequently fixed and the recount has been completed in Cochise County.

In a spreadsheet Howard provided to the representatives, a few discrepancies could be explained away by human error.

For instance, Batch 1 came in at 200 ballots in the Graham County count, but 199 in the recount. Batch 3 was labeled 199 from Graham, but t he r e c ou nt s howe d there were 200 ballots, Howard said. The same was true for Batches 77 and 78. In the recount, the numbers were reversed which made everything equal.

Then in Batch 104, there was a difference of one vote in the count from Graham County — 212 — and Cochise County that batch count was 211. The one vote difference between the original canvass and the recount is well under the margin of error allowed by the state, added Howard.

Even the party representatives were impressed by Howard’s due diligence and determination. They were not concerned with the one mystery ballot.

Howard and Reynolds plan to have the problem resolved before the hand counting of random precincts begins on Friday morning.

“This is a challenge and I’m going to solve the problem,” she said. “We’ll have it ready for the state’s deadline.”

There were 32,217 votes recounted over the three days that included early ballots, ballots cast at polls and provisional ballots. The original canvass totaled 32,218 votes.

The state has mandated the recount be completed and turned in to the Arizona Secretary of State’s office by Monday, Dec. 15.

T he M a ricopa Sup erior Court will announce the results on Tuesday, Dec. 16.

No results on the recounts will be available until then, noted Howard.

The race for the CD2 seat is close, with McSally ahead of Barber by 161 votes after more than 220,000 were cast

terms to be served consecutively.

Gulli was convicted in October on 26 counts of sexual exploitation of a minor and of sexual conduct with a minor.

The former Vail School District volunteer was arrested in June 2012 after Tucson police got a tip.

Benson/JSix — 45.17 percent Cochise Stronghold — 43.38 percent Hereford — 42.78 percent Pomerene — 42.81 percent Portal — 49.65 percent St. David — 43.81 percent SV County Club — 52.42 percent SV Yaqui — 45.88 percent for the office in the Nov. 4 election.

Arizona statutes require a recount when the difference is 200 or less, so Cochise and Pima counties had to go through the process under t he watch fu l eyes of t he representatives from each candidate’s campaign and political party.

Howard appointed as Elections and Special Districts Director Katie Howard was appointed to the position on Nov. 23, while she was on vacation. The former Clerk to the Board of Supervisors retired a few years ago and did think a bit about taking on the job.

“Once I was here and doing all this, I found I actually enjoyed it. It is a challenge and we have a lot of work to do to get us where we need to be,” said Howard.

She is a cer ti f ied elec tion official and has a background in technology, so she will be putting that experience to work as she hunts for a new system to replace the current equipment.

“We have to have the system up and running before the presidential election in 2016,” she said. “That may be two years away, but we have a lot of work to do. I have to find the system which will take some research time.

Then when we do get a new system, all our poll workers and staff will have to be trained.”

She will also set new protocols that will establish easy to understand procedures to follow to prevent problems at the polls and at the elections office during the counting process.

Benson Council hears frustrations from local radio station

BY DANA COLE dana.cole@svherald.com

BE NS ON — A f t er hearing a warning issued by local radio station owner Paul Lotsof during a call to the public, the regularly scheduled City Counci l meeti ng breezed through a routine list of business items.

Frustrated by what he perceives as resistance on the part of the city when it comes to replacing a dilapidated, 50-year old building on the radio station property, Lotsof threatened to “pack up and leave� if the city continues to refuse to work with him when it comes to being f lexible with its current codes. Lotsof, who wants to move a new building onto the radio station site, cannot afford the financial outlay required to bring the property up to the current code requirements with the replacement building, but argues t hat t he new st r uc ture would be a major i mprovement to t he property.

The city’s position

is that Lotsof will be required to follow current codes if he replaces the building, said Brad Hamilton, city engineer. “A s t h e p r o p e r t y now sits with the existing building, it falls under old, out- dated codes,� said Hamilton. “Bri ngi ng i n a new building triggers the current code regulations and he will have to comply with those code requirements.�

L otsof represented the meeting’s only call to the public, where he spoke of the challenges he has been facing with the city in his effort to replace the 50-year-old building. In addition, he says the radio station’s needs a re becoming “worse with every passing day.� He told the council that he has been attempting to replace the current structure, built in 1964, with a new building for several years, but has been met with resistance from the city. “As nearly as I can piece it together, it appears that the mentality that went into the city’s codes is that if prop-

erty owners are given a choice of improving t hei r prop er t y f i rst class or doing nothing at all, they will opt for first class,� Lotsof said.

He a rg ue d t h at t he city’s “first class mentality may work in San Francisco, but not in impoverished Benson.�

The result of the codes, Lotsof added, “is exactly the opposite of what was intended when they were written.�

He expressed his concern about working with the incoming council, to be seated in January, stating that it is nothing more than a “reincarnation of the previous council.�

In his parting words to the council, Lotsof warned that if the radio station cannot get relief from the building and zoning codes, he will no longer continue to fight with the city, but will “pack up and leave.� He added that “Benson will be losing a very valuable community resource.� Lotsof stated that as the city is forced to choose between a “hard-nosed enforcement of codes

and retaining Benson’s only local broadcast service,� he is hopeful they will make the right decision.

T wo c it y e mpl oyees — Melissa Tibbitts and Tim Brandenburg — wer e r e c o g n i z e d for 15 and five years of ser vic e wit h t he city respectively.

In new business, the c ou nci l appr ove d a contract with newly elected city magistrate Bruce Staggs, winner of the November general election. Staggs will be replacing the cit y ’s cu r rent ly ap p oi nte d m a g i st rate, Joe Knoblock, who did not run for reelection.

The city’s contract with Staggs is similar to the contract approved by council in 2007.

I n ot her busi ness, the Benson Area Food Bank was g ranted a c ont i nu at ion o f it s lease with the City of Benson on the property located at 370 S. Huachuca St. T he D ec. 2 2 cit y council meeting has been canceled be cause it falls during Christmas week.

Under the Enterprise Fund, with the exception of the gas fund balance and city-owned golf course, all enterprise funds are showing positive balances.

As cooler winter weather rolls in, the gas fund balance is expected to improve, Moreno said.

The golf course continues to struggle, with its operations fund balance showing a negative $31,000 for October and a negative $ 91,000 year to date balance.

On the food and beverage side, the golf course is sitting at a negative $4,000 for October and $14,000 year to date.

RUSSELL: Coming in January FROM PAGE A1 proving Buf falo was the site of the original Garden of Eden and people would be drawn to the city.

T hen t her e’s Wi l l Roger s, t he c owb oy comic, who made many political jokes including that he was not a member of a n organized political party “I’m a Democrat,� to which Russell said the line could now be “I’m a Republican.�

As with any political satire, jokes have a short shelf life. Russell said a joke about an issue may “get a 10 on Monday but by the end of the week it’s down to zero.� Saying when he develops a routine, he skewers politicians of all persuasions.

A nd, ju st b e c au se B a r ack Oba m a w i l l only have two years lef t as president doesn’t mean he will not escape being the butt of some humor, Russell said.

And, the two chambers of Congress have a lot of fodder waiting to be used, he added.

And, of course, there are state and local politicians and other subjects involving the political stage which cry out for use, as well as government agencies of all levels, Russell said.

One large area which has so much material waiting to be used is Texas “which always m a ke s my d ay,� he said, adding “I hope Ted Cruz does somet hi ng u sable b efore the show.�

His appea ra nce at t he 7 p.m. show on Jan. 10 at the Buena High School Performing Arts Center is a fundraiser for the Sierra Vista Symphony

Orchestra, and will be the second time Russell has appeared in the community at an orchestra benefit.

While tickets are $35 each, there will be an advance sale for $ 30 tickets on Saturday at the Sierra Vista Herald, located at 102 Fab Ave., from 8:30 a.m. to 10 :30 a.m. After that the $ 35 tickets will be sold at the Herald office during regular business hours from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. The office will be closed on Dec. 25 and Jan. 1.

R u s s e l l’s s how i s called the “Laughter and Song of Politics.�

Saying he is a threechor d pi a no pl ayer “and not that good,�

Russell said he uses popu la r songs a nd changes the lyrics to make political points.

O n e d it t y i n t h e ma ki ng “is a new Arizona state song,� and he wasn’t talking about ASU. A nd wit h t he outcome of the recent congressional elections it appears Republicans want to use the song — “Happy Days are Here Again� — which was a Democratic favorite during the early years of the administration of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, he said.

W hat Russel l does promise is he will use humor, spoken and musical, to bring his take on the political life of t he com mu nit y, t he state, the nation and the world.

A nd don’t b e su rprised if part of his s h ow w i l l b e R u s sel l tout i n g “ how I saved For t Hu achuc a,� a s lon g a s t he man in his late 70s, can remember how to pronounce “Huachuca.�

City Finance Director Megan Moreno presented t he city’s f inancia l high lights through October, with the overall picture reflecting trends similar to this time last year. A drop in new construction has created a dip in construction sales tax, which impacts the cit y’s t a x revenues.

Moreno explained that October does not look good on paper because of a three payroll month.

O n t he p e r s on nel side of the financial report, there was an increase of $134,000 for the month, compared to 2013 because of the t h ree pay rol l sit uation. However, there is a $3,000 decrease when looking at the year to date figure.

Arizona can clinch a playoff spot with win over hot Rams

BY BARRY WILNER Associated Press

Even as the Arizona Cardinals are presented an opportunity to clinch a playoff berth, they have plenty to be concerned about.

Injuries, for one. No contender’s lineup has been more damaged than Arizona’s, with the latest being the sidelining of top running back Andre Ellington.

It’s somewhat astonishing that they not only lead the NFC West, but could grab a wild-card spot with a victory at St. Louis on Thursday night.

yes, they were against Oakland and Washington, and we’re not exactly talking the John Madden Raiders or Joe Gibbs Redskins. Still, St. Louis is not a team anyone wants any part of right now.

Particularly the defense.

“They’ve always been as good a front four as anybody in the league and you’re watching them jell and become an outstanding defense,” Cardinals coach Bruce Arians says. “(Safety) Mark Barron was a great addition.

They’ve stayed healthy, that’s a big thing.”

Preparation is at a premium for a short week, but neither is a fancy team with a lot of tricks. Most important

BY KEVIN CAROLAN SPECIAL TO THE HERALD/REVIEW

SIERRA VISTA — The B uen a C olt w r e st l i n g team ran their season record to 5 - 0 Wednesday, routing Palo Verde, 78-5 and holding off a strong Salpointe Catholic team before coming away with a 51-27 win.

Oregon State hires Wisconsin’s Gary Andersen The Associated Press

Wisconsin coach Gar y Andersen has stepped down to become the head coach at Oregon State.

Andersen, the Badgers’ coach for the past two seasons, informed the team of his decision Wednesday afternoon, the school said.

Wisconsin (10-3) is scheduled to play in the Outback Bowl against Auburn (8-4) on Jan. 1.

Athletic director Barry Alvarez said he hoped to have a replacement in place by then.

Andersen replaces Mike Riley, who left the Pac-12’s Beavers to accept the head coaching job at Nebraska

after the dismissal of Bo Pelini. Oregon State finished this season 5-7 and had two conference wins, but one c a me at home against then-No. 7 Arizona State.

Andersen thanked Wisconsi n i n a prepa red statement.

“We worked very hard together and accomplished some great things. I had the opportunity to meet and coach some g reat young men and I look forward to watching them as they continue their careers and move through life,” he said.

The Badgers had an inconsistent season, losing two of their first five games but recovering to win seven

straight. But the season ended with a thud when the team was blown out by Ohio State 59-0 in the Big Ten championship game.

A lv a r e z s a i d h e w a s taken aback by Andersen’s announcement.

“I thought Gary and his staff did a very good job.

Nobody likes the way they played in the last game, but that happens occasionally,” Alvarez said. “I really don’t care about style of play on offense and defense, as long as it’s sound ... We were sound with what we did.”

Overall, Andersen was 19-7 as Wisconsin’s coach.

He came to the Badgers from Utah State, where he spent four seasons.

J

ust a couple months ago, we were all convinced the NFL had finally done it. The spate of domestic violence offenses with the commissioner’s fingerprints all over the cover-up, were going to be enough to bring the league to its knees.

Instead, we’ve learned the NFL is so impervious to blame, so implacable, so utterly Teflon, that it has managed m to position itself itss as a leader in the lea a fight fig g against violence vii against ag g women and wo o children. ch h This T AILY ISH diabolical dii PR R campaign started by sta a MATT HICKMAN blending bl current and former NFL players with entertainment celebrities for the No More PSA blitz.

In recent weeks, the NFL has taken the football and run out on its own for a series of PSAs with players, acting, albeit poorly, without saying a word.

At the end of these awkwardly silent testimonials, the words “Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault are Hard Subjects for Everyone to Talk About… Help us Start the Conversation,” dominate the screen in what has to be the most cynical, diabolical, doubleminded maneuver in the history of manipulation.

In this one, seemingly well-meaning commercial, the No More has invented a brand new tactic Sun Tzu is rolling over in his grave about for not having invented himself — inventing a taboo as an excuse for past misbehavior. After weeks of essentially mea culpa PSAs, the NFL has the audacity to pretend that domestic violence and sexual assault are things guys don’t talk about.

Either your pappy learnt you to never hit a woman or he didn’t; either your pappy learnt you ‘no means no’ or he didn’t; either your pappy taught you ‘spare the rod, spoil the child,’ or he didn’t.

These are all things men have talked openly and freely and frequently forever! If anything, the problem has been too much talk because it makes these behaviors seem less criminal and more a matter of taste and upbringing.

To invent a taboo where there wasn’t one, and make that out to be the reason you failed to act for so long… the word sinister only begins to describe it!

Owners approve new personal conduct policy IRVING, Texas (AP) — NFL owners unanimously approved changes to the league personal conduct policy Wednesday, but Commissioner Roger Goodell will retain authority to rule on appeals.

A special counsel for investigations and conduct will oversee initial discipline, Goodell said. “This will be a highly qualified individual with a criminal justice background hired as soon as possible for the newly created position,�

Goodell said. “The person will oversee our investigations and decide the discipline for violations of the policy.�

The commissioner also may appoint a panel of independent experts to participate in appeals.

After the Ray Rice and Adrian Peterson cases, a more extensive list

of prohibited conduct will be included in the policy, as well as specific criteria for paid leave for anyone charged with a violent crime.

A suspension of six games without pay for violations involving assault, sexual assault, battery, domestic violence, child abuse and other forms of family violence will be in effect, but with consideration given to mitigating or aggravating circumstances. “The policy is comprehensive. It is strong. It is tough. And it better for everyone associated with the NFL,�

Goodell said.

The players’ union has sought negotiations with the NFL on any revamping of the policy, and said Tuesday it would “reserve the right to take any and all actions� should the owners act unilaterally. The union could consider Wednesday’s

vote by the owners as a violation of the collective bargaining agreement reached in 2011, giving the union cause to file a grievance.

A mong the union’s options is pursuing an unfair labor practice charge with the National Labor Relations Board.

The players could argue this policy is a change in terms and conditions of employment; the National Labor Relations Act says such changes in unionized situations are subject to collective bargaining. “We expected today’s vote by the NFL owners from before Thanksgiving,� NFL Players Association spokesman George Atallah said on Twitter. “Our union has not seen their new policy.�

That new policy will include a conduct committee made up of several

team owners that will review the policy at least annually and recommend appropriate changes. That committee will seek advice from outside experts, the NFL said.

Members of the committee will be Arizona Cardinals owner Michael Bidwill as the chairman; Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank; Kansas City Chiefs owner Clark Hunt; Dee Haslam, the wife of Cleveland Browns owner Jimmy Haslam; Dallas Cowboys executive vice president Charlotte Jones Anderson, chairwoman of the NFL Foundation; Chicago Bears owner George McCaskey; Houston Texans owner Robert McNair; and two former NFL players who have a stake in N F L team ow nership, Wa r rick Dunn of the Falcons and John Stallworth of the Steelers.

Rivera: Derek Anderson replacing Newton at QB

AP PHOTO/LENNY IGNELZI

CH A R LOT TE, N.C. (AP) — Cam Newton will not play Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers while recovering from an automobile crash that left him with two fractures in his lower back.

Panthers coach Ron Rivera con f i r med Wednesday that Derek A nderson wi l l sta r t and Joe Webb will be his backup. “I won’t expose him,�

Rivera said. “I don’t want to put him in a bad position.�

New ton was discharged from the hospital earlier Wednesday, a day after he was

injured when his truck crashed a nd overturned in a two-car accident. Charlotte-Mecklenburg police issued no cit ations for t he accident.

Newton was not at the team’s facility on Wednesday, though Rivera said he is expected to be in on Thursday and his playing status wi l l be reeva lu ated next week.

The coach said he met with Newton on Tuesday at the hospital and “in true Cam fashion, he was disappointed for his teammates. He feels like he is letting us all down.�

I thought Saska’s match with Salpointe’s Nicholas Woolridge was very good. Both wrestlers were state qualifiers last year and Saska beat him, 8-5.

Sudoku is a number-placing puzzle based on a 9x9 grid with several given numbers.

The object is to place the numbers 1 to 9 in the empty squares so that each row, each column and each 3x3 box contains the same number only once.

The difficulty level of the Conceptis Sudoku increases from Monday to Sunday.

FAMILY CIRCUS

Constantly running into the ‘other woman’ DEAR ANNIE: I have been with my husband for 10 years, and we have two children. Two years ago, I found out that he was bothering a 19-year-old girl. He was 30 at the time. We separated over this, but six months ago, we got back together.

Now when I ask about this young woman, his story keeps changing.

He says they were just friends, and then he says he tried getting together with her after we separated. He admits he still cares about her.

Here’s the current problem: This woman has a young child and uses the same daycare center that I do. I see her whenever I drop off my children. I jump through hoops to make sure my husband isn’t the one dropping off the kids, because I don’t want him to run into her.

This situation is driving me crazy, but my family members tell me I should stay with my husband because we have kids and because he quit drinking. So do I stay and look the other way, or should I leave? — Only Questions DEAR QUESTIONS: You have another option. For your marriage to succeed, you need to know that your husband will not pursue this young woman, and he hasn’t responded in a way that merits your trust. Because you have children, please make an effort to work on this before giving up. Ask your husband to go with you for counseling.

If he refuses, go without him.

DEAR ANNIE: I am a veteran. I served proudly and now have a decent job in the civilian workforce.

I appreciate everything that our country does to honor our nation’s veterans and their families, from the parades and ceremonies to the

business discounts and free meals.

But I often wonder why veterans are not provided with a “holiday” from work on Veterans Day to attend these ceremonies, have lunch or just spend time with NNIE S their families. To attend these funcAILBOX tions, veterans must apply for vacation KATHY MITCHELL time. Many therefore AND MARCY SUGAR choose not to attend.

I realize some businesses do provide their employees with the day off, but they are in the minority.

If Veterans Day honors this nation’s veterans, why can’t we change the law by giving veterans the day off without penalty? — Answered the Call DEAR ANSWERED: It does seem logical that those being honored would get the day off. Veterans Day is a federal holiday, meaning most government offices are closed, no mail is delivered and federal workers either get the day off or are paid for working a holiday. Many non-governmental businesses also close on Veterans Day, but it is not mandatory. We suggest you talk to your boss about this for next year and see whether some accommodation can be worked out.

Keep neck in neutral position to eliminate pain WIZARD OF ID

DILBERT

MALLARD FILLMORE

RETAIL

DEAR DOCTOR K: I’m a woman in my late 40s, and I have mild but aggravating neck pain that flares up from time to time. Can you suggest simple changes I can make at home and at work that might help?

DEAR READER: There are many things you can do to minimize your risk of recurring neck pain. Start by keeping your neck in a neutral position whether you are sitting or standing. That means your head should balance directly over your spine and not lean forward or be cocked to one side.

Here are some more tips: • At the computer or desk, keep your head balanced directly over your spine as much as possible.

Set your chair height so both your feet can rest on the ground, and sit with your buttocks far back in your chair, using a small pillow to support your lower back if needed.

That’s what I’m doing as I write this column at my desk at home.

But it wasn’t always that way. Until recently, when I worked at home, I used my lightweight computer with its small screen. That small screen, plus my aging eyes, caused me to bend forward a lot to read what was on the screen.

When I told my wife that my neck was hurting, she said: “I think it’s because you don’t use a big flat screen at home like you do at work.

You’re hunched over a lot.”

Bingo! I got a good-sized home flat screen. The screen sits directly in front of me so that I can see it without tilting my head down or back. No more neck pain.

Also, when you’re working at your computer or doing any type of desk work, get up and move around every half-hour. (I’ve put a detailed illustration of proper desk posture

on my website, AskDoctorK.com.)

• When using a telephone, a headset, earbuds or speakerphone are good options to help keep your head in a neutral position for hands-free talking.

DR. ANTHONY • If you are sitting in KOMAROFF a chair while reading, maintain an upright posture. Hold the book so you don’t have to lean down or forward to see it.

• Avoid wearing high heels, which change the alignment of your entire body and stress neck muscles.

• Choose a lightweight purse or backpack, and don’t overload it. Use a backpack designed to put weight on your hips instead of just your upper back, and don’t sling it over one shoulder. With heavier loads, use a wheeled pack or briefcase.

If you must use a shoulder purse, alternate which shoulder you use.

• If you drive long distances, periodic breaks can help to reduce or prevent neck strain.

• Sit far enough from a TV or movie screen that you can watch without tilting your head back.

Don’t sit off to the side, which forces you to turn your neck for long periods.

If you follow these simple suggestions, your neck pain should be considerably reduced, or even disappear.

BRIDGE

By Phillip Alder

MARVIN

MUTTS

Vannevar Bush, an innovative scientist who, inter alia, was head of the U.S. Office of Scientific Research and Development during World War II and founded Raytheon, said, “Fear cannot be banished, but it can be calm and without panic; it can be mitigated by reason and evaluation.”

At the bridge table, it helps to be thinking calmly, evaluating the evidence, and working out the best bids and plays.

In this deal, look at the South hand. He opens one spade, his partner raises to two spades and East overcalls three diamonds. What should South do now?

With the known nine- or 10-card spade fit, South may add shortage points: one for each of his doubletons.

So, since his hand is worth 18 points, he should jump to four spades. (The Losing Trick Count also evaluates the South hand as worth a jump to game. The curious may go to my website: www.phillipalderbridge. com.)

West leads the diamond three.

East wins with his queen, cashes the diamond ace and shifts to the heart nine. West takes South’s king with his ace and returns the heart jack.

After winning with his queen, how should South continue?

Declarer has four losers: two in each red suit. He has only nine winners: six spades, one heart and two clubs. He must gain a third club trick by establishing dummy’s fifth card.

The right line is to cash the spade ace and club ace, play a club to dummy’s king and ruff a club high in hand. Back to dummy with a spade to the 10, declarer ruffs another club high, leads a spade to dummy’s king and cashes the club six, on which he discards the heart five.

in Cochise County, thanks to the initiative of Sierra Vistan Liz Manring and Tombstone resident Larry Bowers. “We thought having a TubaChristmas in Tombstone would draw a crowd — players and audience — because it’s Tombstone,� Manring said. “Brass instruments, in general, are associated with holiday music, so TubaChristmas naturally fits into that tradition.�

Usually belting out the bass notes from the back row of a symphony, TubaChristmas gives the tuba and its cousins a chance to o go front-and-center, sans the rest of the band. “Tubas make wonderful music.

They’re big and loud and boisterous, but they’re also very melodious. Not other instrument has a Christmas event dedicated to it,� Manring said. “People like decorating their tubas — there’s a lot of room to get creative.�

The concert starts at 1 p.m.

Saturday at the Tombstone City Park. The event is free and open to the public, though there is one contingent not welcome. “There are no trumpets allowed,�

Manring said.    Fast-forward to next Friday and St. John’s Episcopal Church in Old Bisbee is the site of the converging of two of the areas best-known bands.

The Sugar Beats and Nancy Weaver’s Swing Quartet will combine forces for a 7 to 9:30 p.m. show at the church’s Fellowship Hall.

Admission is free, though there is a $10 suggested donation at the door which will go to help refurbish the church’s kitchen facility.

ith its name derived from the catchphrase of Bill Hader’s SNL character “Stefon,� this column tries, first and foremost, to promote things at clubs, bars and other places of ill-repute.

But with it being the holiday season and all, there’s tons of entertainment of the more, let’s say, square variety.

If you’re like me, you can’t stand Christmas music mostly because it never changes. Each year you get the same old yuletide carols, the same old Nutcracker, the same old Messiah, and pretty soon it gets to being a whole lot of the same and a whole lot of the old.

That’s why Sierra Vista’s hottest Christmas-season concert is tonight at the Village Meadows Baptist Church (1407 El Camino Real) at 6 p.m.

Former Buena High School basketball and football standout Solomon Buckhanan is now a youth pastor with St. Paul Missionary Baptist Church, and he helped make Sierra Vista a stop between Washington, D.C., and Los Angeles for the Amani Children’s Choir on its Joyful Africa Tour 2014.

Not sure this 20-strong group of young singers from Uganda will be singing Christmas Carols per se, but they’ll be singing Christian praise music in English and Swahili, which sounds kind of interesting.

Admission to the show is free, and donations will help go to the Amani Choir’s mission of helping the youth of Uganda attain better health care and education.

For more information, call Buckhanan at (520) 442-7085. Â Â Â Another kinda square, but wholly different take on Christmas music happens Saturday in Tombstone with the sixth annual TubaChristmas.

The first TubaChristmas was in 1974 at Rockefeller Center, organized

by Harvey Phillips as a dedication to his tuba teacher William Bell.

Ever since, this rendition of popular carols arranged for, not only the tuba, but the sousaphone, baritone and euphonium, has spread all over the world.

Six years ago, it made its debut

Year after year, families, individuals, small businesses, performance artists, and neighborhood organizations flock to Armory Park to brighten it with vibrantly lit vintage vehicles, music, dance, mod LED lights, floats, marching bands and free fun for the whole family.

This is an event that has the heart and soul of the Old Pueblo.

Now in its 20th year, the Downtown Parade of Lights is a valued holiday tradition for thousands of Tucson families. “The best part about this parade is that it promotes community,� says Brandi Haga-Blackman, Events Manager of the Downtown Tucson Partnership. “It draws people from all walks of life together for a very memorable event.�

The holiday fun starts

Making history: Female filmmakers and their fight for equality

BY MANOHLA DARGIS New York Times News Service

On a swampy afternoon in late June, director Ava DuVernay stood not far from the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Ala., that haunted place where, President Lyndon B. Johnson told the country, history and fate met. She was instructing a group of white extras on all the ugly things she wanted them to yell at the several hundred black extras snaking across the bridge, part of a sizable army of cast and crew that had been gathered together for “Selma,” her new movie about the campaign for black voter rights.

That day, DuVernay was restaging Bloody Sunday, March 7, 1965, when the police violently attacked marchers trying to walk to Montgomery, where they would eventually hear the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.’s call out to the world: “How long? Not long! Because the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.” A centrifugal force, DuVernay rarely seemed to stop moving. As she called “Action!,” and people and horses began to run, smoke flooding the air, it was thrilling to witness a female director bring this agonizing American story to life and, in the process, stake her own claim on our cultural history.

DuVernay, 42, belongs to what she calls “a small sorority” of black female filmmakers, who are part of another modest American sisterhood: female directors of any color.

And with “Selma,” she has done what few female directors get the opportunity to do, which is go large — with politics and history — with a decent budget and serious muscle.

Paramount Pictures is releasing the movie Dec. 25, and the producers include Oprah Winfrey, who has a small role in the movie as an activist, and Plan B, Brad Pitt’s company.

Four years ago, Kathryn Bigelow became the first woman to win an Academy Award as best director; DuVernay has a shot to become the second.

Like many, I had hoped that Bigelow’s Oscar for “The Hurt Locker” would be transformative and that soon female directors would be accepted as equal to men, and, crucially, hired as equals. But that hasn’t happened. In 2009, when “The Hurt Locker” was released, women made up 7 percent of the directors

Lauzen.

As of early December, by my count, only 19 women — 7.6 percent — were directors on the top 250 grossing features released this year. “Selma” may increase that percentage, as might another big-studio release, Angelina Jolie’s “Unbroken,” about Olympic runner and war prisoner Louis Zamperini.

It will take more than these two filmmakers to disrupt the industry’s sexism, which has long shut women out from directing movies and, increasingly, shuts them out on screen. Notably, DuVernay and Jolie, having made movies about women, have now made the leap to bigger stakes with stories centered on men.

I hope their movies burn up the box office, but I also hope they return to movies about women. We need those stories, and these days, female directors are often the only ones interested in them. Gender equality is an undeniable imperative. But it’s also essential to the future of the movies.

DuVernay’s path to “Selma” is unusual, not only because she belongs to a small sorority but also because she came to directing through publicity. After graduating from the University of California, Los Angeles (she majored in English and African-American studies), she had a flirtation with broadcast journalism

before landing a publicity job. At 27, she founded her own agency, working on movies by the likes of Steven Spielberg, which embedded her in every stage of the movie process, all the way to award shows. She was on the set of “Collateral” (2004) the moment that she realized what she wanted.

“I just remember standing there in the middle of the night in East LA and watching Michael Mann direct and thinking, ‘I have stories,’” she said. “That was the moment I thought: ‘Wow, I could do this. I would like to do that.’”

She narrated this origin story back home in Los Angeles in September, as we talked in her house, a midcentury perch overlooking Beachwood Canyon with a view of the Hollywood sign. Hours earlier, she had, in the fashion of 21st century cinema, delivered her cut of “Selma” through a high-speed file transfer. Now people whose opinions mattered — including the producers on the Paramount lot a few miles away and the famous one in Chicago (“Ms. Winfrey,” as DuVernay calls her) — were looking at “Selma” for the first time.

“Your foot is shaking,” I said. “Are you nervous?”

DuVernay radiates terrific selfconfidence, but I assumed that she was anxious.

“No,” she shot back.

With its $20 million production budget and the support of a major

studio, “Selma” is far bigger than any of DuVernay’s previous movies.

She made her last one, “Middle of Nowhere,” for $200,000. A smallscale, lapidary drama about a woman finding love, though mostly herself, it was beautifully shot by cinematographer Bradford Young.

(They reunited for “Selma.”) It was well received at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival, but, like the rest of the entries that year, it was overshadowed by the juggernaut known as “Beasts of the Southern Wild.” DuVernay became the first black woman to win the dramatic directing award at Sundance, and while that was gratifying, it didn’t translate into any immediate gains.

“No one offered me anything,” she said matter-of-factly.

This is in stark contrast with what happened to Colin Trevorrow, whose first feature, “Safety Not Guaranteed,” was also at the 2012 festival. In what has become a familiar story of male success, he went on to direct the relaunch of a franchise behemoth, “Jurassic World.” Women rarely receive those kinds of big breaks. Director Mimi Leder (“Deep Impact”) and writer Linda Woolverton (“Maleficent”) have made a lot of money for the industry, but they recently told me they, too, don’t get the calls you might expect. That no one clamored to hire DuVernay is even less a surprise given the segregation of American cinema and an industry mindset that deems that a movie with two black leads is no longer simply a movie but a black movie.

DuVernay started directing first in documentary, where budgets tend to be low and you don’t necessarily need to ask anyone’s permission, two reasons so many women may gravitate to the field.

DuVernay said the first director who considered “Selma” was Mann, who was followed by an intriguing list of directors that she ticked off with a practiced air: Stephen Frears, Paul Haggis, Spike Lee and finally Daniels. She said that with the exit of Daniels the producers “just gave up.” David Oyelowo, who plays King, did not. DuVernay had cast him in “Middle of Nowhere,” and he believed she could handle “Selma.” He made his case for her in a letter to Pathé, the company that originally financed the movie. (Paramount came onboard later.)

The story of Moses has inspired many film adaptations over the years. Here are a few notable examples: The Ten Commandments (1956) Produced and directed

by Cecil B. DeMille and starring Charlton Heston in the iconic role of Moses and Yul Brenner as Rameses, the film was nominated for seven Academy Awards, winning for best visual effects.

The Prince of Egypt (1998 animated film) The first traditionally animated film produced and released by DreamWorks Pictures, the film is an adaptation of the Book of Exodus and follows Moses’ life from being a prince of Egypt to his ultimate destiny to lead the children of Israel out of Egypt.

The Exodus Decoded, a 2006 documentary produced

by Simcha Jacobovici claiming to verify the biblical story. The program was created

by Israeli-Canadian filmmaker Simcha Jacobovici and the producer/director James Cameron.

The Ten Commandments: The Musical (2006) The story of Moses from the bible in musical form, filmed live at the Hollywood Kodak Theater. The musical received mixed reviews from theatre critics.

However, the actors earned nearly unanimous praise for their performances, except for Val Kilmer, who was seen as miscast in the role of Moses.

Moe and the Big Exit (2007) The 31st episode of VeggieTales tells the story of a cowboy living a privileged life while his relatives dig the Grand Canyon as slaves. After hearing from a burning tumbleweed, Moe returns to Dodgeball City to save his people.

SIERRA VISTA — Sharon Schade was never very much into the performing arts when she was a child, so as her children entered school age and began to display an interest in singing and dancing and acting, she looked for a place to turn.

“I homeschool my kids, but even in the public schools there’s not a lot in the way of the performing arts,” Schade said.

As fate would have it, Schade was working on another business venture when she ran into an old friend Nancy Genys, the founder and director of Talent Team Performing Arts in Mesa.

Genys told Schade that her business model would work very well in Sierra Vista, and last year, Team Talent Sierra Vista was born.

“Nancy mentioned that she had a system in place that would allow anyone to license the name and run a satellite studio with her Talent Team programs,” Schade said. “I looked over the material and came to the conclusion that Talent Team was the business opportunity I could pursue, and not the other venture I was considering. ”Talent Team Sierra Vista opened its doors in August of 2013 and performed at the Festival of Trees at the Mall at Sierra Vista two years running, and in May held their first stage performance at Berean Academy.”

On Monday, Team Talent Sierra

Vista will hold its second Christmas special, “Santastic Season” from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Apache Middle School cafeteria.

The show is free to the public, and the material for the show comes right from the Talent Team network.

“The fact that they had pre-made programs to choose from with different themes helped,” Schade said. “We could choose one out of 6 or 7 available. I let my dance teachers and voice teachers go through the songs. There were different things they wanted to do and I was flexible.”

In its infancy, Talent Team Sierra Vista has forged a partnership with longtime local talent academy Alma Dolores, which is holding its Christmas spectacular on Dec. 19.

“I had the benefit of meeting with Alma Delores, who is highly supportive of programs for youth in our community, with a particular fondness for the performing arts,” Schade said.

“We now have a working relationship with her International School of Dance to use her studio space.”

That arrangement will begin Jan. 16, and Schade is hoping it will help make the third year of Talent Team Sierra Vista the most successful yet.

Fun, historical haunted cart tours are being offered by author Francine Powers on Friday and Saturday nights in Old Bisbee.

Powers wrote a book about her experiences with ghosts from her childhood days and into adulthood called “Mi Reina: Don’t Be Afraid” and she takes people to the nowdeserted home site as well as other haunts on the one and a half hour tour.

“On one of the Haunted Historical Cart Tours, we were at my childhood home. Someone was throwing pebbles at us and all the passengers tried to hide behind me,” she said. “There was no one around and the house is empty. It was thrilling for the guests.”

What makes the tour fun are the golf carts, owned by Thomas Enriquez of the Bisbee Tour Company, lit with blue lights, that let the passengers enjoy some of the more inaccessible parts of town without exertion while learning its spooky history.

The tour takes visitors up and down Brewery Gulch, Zacatecas Canyon, OK Street and some of Bisbee’s back streets to old haunts and down Main Street.

The tours run at 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. on Friday and Saturday nights.

Tickets are $25 each, though there are discounted rates for groups.

One cart can hold five people and another holds eight.

Clark readies for Miss Teen Phoenix/Tucson

thursday december 11, 2014

BY ROBERT CHARETTE robert.charette@svherald.com

Buena High School senior Ashley Clark will compete for the title of 2014 Miss Teen Phoenix/ Tucson pageant Dec. 21 for the chance to advance the Miss Teen National pageant, where she will be eligible to win $30,000 in scholarship money.

“I think it will be challenging because its my first pageant and I don’t know what to expect, but I think I can do it,” Clark said.

A first-timer competing in beauty pageants, Clark was able to successfully register her way on to the pageant stage. In what makes Miss Teen National stand out from similar pageants is that there is no swimsuit competition as contestants compete in three arenas that include modeling in casual wear and formal wear as well as participating in a personal interview with judges where she will be judged for

her personality.

“I liked the fact you interview for it because its not based on all looks,” she said.

Community businesses, organization, and individuals are able to sponsor Clark so she can properly train and rehearse in preparations for the pageant. If she does advance to the national pageant, she will face off against other metro-area representatives in Orlando, Florida on a week-long expense-paid trip.

So far, she’s been able to get the Sierra Vista Wendy’s, from where she works, to sponsor her.

“I’m nervous, but I’m determined to go to Nationals because I need scholarship money for college,” she said.

Businesses, organizations, or individuals interested in becoming a sponsor for Clark may contact the Miss Teen Phoenix/ Tucson Pageant Coordinator at 1-877-4036678.

Canticles in the Candlelight at Methodist service On Sunday, the 45-voice Sierra Vista United Methodist Church Chancel Choir, under the direction of Carl Coss, will present its Christmas Cantata “Canticles in Candlelight” at the 7:30, 9 and 10:30 a.m. services.

This year’s special selection is written by Joseph Martin. The music used to retell the birth of Jesus blends traditional Christmas carols with new Christmas anthems.

“Canticles in Candlelight” is a musical service of illumination designed to fill the sanctuary with music and light. Using scripture, narration, carols and candles, the service offers a variety of traditional music, classical references and congressional singing. From the hushed whisper of the “Candlelight Processional” to the festive arrangements of beloved carols, this work

aspires to have something for everyone.

“With great expectation we gather close to the flickering flames and gather our strength for the journey to dawn. We warm our spirits at the hearth of worship,” comments Carl Coss. The prayer, he adds, is that “we linger in the glow of prayer and devotion and discover the illumination of truth and

the warmth of fellowship.”

As well as having narrators Kris Hagerl, Gary Snyder, and Carol Downey, Dorothy Schaefer is the accompanist on the piano.

SVUMC is located at the intersection of Buffalo Soldier Trail and St. Andrews Drive. For more information, call 378-3352 or visit www.sierravistaumc. org.

ABOUT THE ARIZONA FOLKLORE PRESERVE:

BY CAROLYN SANTUCCI For the Herald/Review

It’s not often that people use the words “classical” and “banjo” in the same sentence. But that’s the best way to describe Tim Weed’s banjo playing, along with words like “amazing” and “phenomenal.”

As Mike Kropp writes in Banjo Newsletter after hearing Tim’s CD “Milagros,” “His execution was flawless, with great tone and dynamics. We were listening to Tim’s original compositions — a melodious mixture of bluegrass, Spanish, classical and jazz. Wow! This guy had to be the world’s greatest player I’d never heard of. I thought I’d heard most of the great players — well, add Tim to the list!”

Tim Weed was a 16-year-old surfer in Southern California when he broke out as a banjo-playing prodigy and catapulted into his lifelong courtship with the banjo.

He honed his playing alongside Grammywinning artists Stuart Duncan and Alison Brown. His music has developed into an eclectic blend of bluegrass, roots and world music with stunning harmony vocals, drawing influences from India, Tibet, Africa and South America.

Weed has appeared on National Public Radio as a featured artist on Bob Boilen’s All Songs Considered, and he has played for the Dalai Lama. A veteran multiinstrumentalist singer-songwriter, he has produced over 100 albums, and inspired Phil Ramone to call him “an incredible singer.”

“Tim can play everything from hardcore bluegrass to Bach,” said David Grisman.

“He’s the Ali Akbar Khan of the banjo.” Do yourself a favor and make your reservation now to hear this performer. Musicians like this don’t come along every day, and you won’t want to miss this show.

The AFP offers an intimate, appealing theater seating just 60 guests. The rustic, comfortable performing space also boasts excellent acoustics and a state-of-the art sound system. The AFP bookstore stocks CDs by featured artists as well as Western-themed books and art, along with handmade jewelry and more. Beverages and snacks are available for purchase to enjoy during the performance.

Operated in partnership with the University of Arizona Sierra Vista and staffed entirely by volunteers, the AFP is a 501(c)3 organization.

Founded in 1996 by Dolan Ellis, Arizona’s official state balladeer, the AFP’s mission is “to collect, present and preserve the songs, stories, legends, myths, and western poetry of the State of Arizona.”

COMING SOON: Upcoming performers at the Celtic fiddler and Native American flute player Arvel Bird on Dec. 20 and 21 and Arizona’s Official State Balladeer, Dolan Ellis, on Dec. 27 and 28. For more information, including performance schedules and additional information on featured artists, visit www. arizonafolklore.com, or call (520) 378-6165.

Painting across the USA to premiere at the Bisbee Royale

The film “Alex and Chris Paint the USA” will be premiered at 7 p.m. Jan. 2 at the Bisbee Royale on Main Street.

Alex Schaefer and Chris Hernandez traveled across 15 states in three weeks and painted the scenes they saw from the spectacular Grand Canyon, to the Old World charm of Bisbee, to the Gateway Arch in St. Louis. The men often bartered their paintings for fuel, food and lodging.

Filmmaker Luke Homay Lewis joined them on their excursion to make a full-length documentary on the unusual trek.

Schaefer and

Hernandez spent a few days in Bisbee after their Bisbee friend Tamara Holcomb Page found out about their project. She invited them to stay and they loved the town.

Hernandez noted they made stops in Las Vegas, Nev., the Grand Canyon, Arches National Park, St. Louis, Mo., Austin, Tex., and New Orleans, La., among others.

Two new documentaries released this week

by Connected Walls explore the connection humans develop with wildlife as a result of the existence of dividing walls. Four filmmakers in the United States/Mexico and Morocco/Spain borders present stories that take place in the Arizona Desert and in the ocean between Morocco and Spain. The films can be seen at www.ConnectedWalls.com.

“Since this wall was built, there’s at least 75 percent fewer animals than there was before 2007,” says John Ladd, an Arizona rancher whose family has lived in the same ranch for five generations. He and his family have seen the decline in wildlife in their area but humans have not stopped crossing the border wall.

On the other side of the world, Adam, from Equatorial Guinea has tried seven times to cross the sea between Morocco and Spain.

One of those attempts would have been fatal if an ocean friend had not guided them to safety.

Over the course of two months, two film crews made up of four directors living on each side of the U.S./Mexico and Morocco/ Spain borders will have to communicate with each other to take up a challenge: co-direct 5-minute documentaries every 10 days based on topics chosen by the public. This time, people chose the topic “Animal” and that is how the filmmakers developed their stories.

Connected Walls is an international interactive film project that, 25 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, will explore these two standing walls.

Through 12 films, Connected Walls will explore the human consequences of the imposition of a wall, and also its impact on the environment and other areas. The project also seeks to virtually connect the U.S./ Mexico and Morocco/Spain walls by linking people with others on the opposite side of their wall to start a dialogue.

Through the eyes of the filmmakers working together from each side of the borders, and through the actions of users voting for topics and engaging with each other, Connected Walls aims to prove that online technologies can lead to dialogue and virtually break the structures that physically separate people.
