TAD BLOSS, NEW PRINCIPAL OF GREENWAY ELEMENTARY

A week of firsts in Bisbee

BY CHRISTINE STEELE christine.steele@svherald.com

BISBEE — It wasn’t without its share of tears and mean girls, but students in Bisbee — and the schools’ three new principals — all survived their first week of school.

At Greenway Elementary, principal Tad Bloss returned to greet students. He started in December as an interim principal, his first experience in an elementary school setting during his 30 years in education, he said. “Until last year, my involvement with elementary school was just that I went to elementary school,� he said. “My whole experience in education has been as a high school teacher and principal for 30 years.�

Bloss came out of retirement after serving as the principal for eight years

at Buena High School from 20 01-20 09, then at Cactus High School in Glendale. “W hen t his oppor tu nity came up and they said ‘would you be interested,’ I said sure,� he said.

He said he and his wife had a house in Bisbee and they had lived here when he was principal at Buena and he commuted to Sierra Vista, so it was very much like coming home.

Bloss served as interim principal beginning last December but if there were any doubts on how the former high school educator and administrator would do in an elementary school setting, those were quashed when Superintendent Jim Phillips received a letter in support of Bloss from Greenway teachers before the end of Bloss’ first year.

Bisbee eliminates public auction for certain parcels Too late to help couple who lost their garage to high bidder

BISBEE — In quite possibly the shortest city council meeting ever, held in a record 20-minutes time, the Bisbee City Council approved in a split 5-2 vote an ordinance amending city codes to eliminate the public auction for selling off certain parcels.

S I E R R A V I S TA — T hrough the ef for ts of three crafty women, Kino Hall at St. Andrew’s Catholic Church on Friday was filled with dozens of bakers, jewelers, craftsmen, artisans and other vendors selling their wares, all in an effort to help some of Cochise Cou nty’s least fortunate.

A year ago, Carol Sessa, Suzanne Taylor-Bruce and Kathy Riebock — each of whom are also vendors at this year’s event — came together with an idea and a lot of good intentions.

The result, the first ever Foster a Future craft fair, was a resounding success, raising $2,300 for the Catholic Community Services’ foster program.

This year, the trio got

Mayor Ron Oer t le a nd city council woman Anna Cline voted against the ordinance, which would eliminate the public auction requirement for parcels under one acre and valued at less than $ 5,000, city attorney Britt Hansen explained at the July 21 meeting. The Mayor previously said he was against the change and

EPA: No word yet on health risk from mine spill DENVER (AP) — The mustard-colored muck that spilled into a river from a shuttered Colorado gold mine contains heavy metals including lead and arsenic, but it’s too early to know whether they pose a health risk, federal environmental officials said Friday.

No health hazard has been detected but the tests were still being analyzed, said Joan Card, an adviser to Environmental Protection Agency Regional Director Shaun McGrath.

The spill also contained cadmium, aluminum, copper and calcium, the EPA said. The concentrations were not yet known.

At least two of the heavy metals can be lethal for humans in long-term exposure. Arsenic at high levels can cause blindness, paralysis and cancer. Lead poisoning can create muscle and vision problems for adults, harm development in fetuses and lead to kidney disease, developmental problems and sometimes death in children, the agency said.

The sludge is creeping toward communities in northern New Mexico, where tests also were being done. But the EPA says no information has been released yet.

An EPA-supervised cleanup crew accidentally unleashed 1 million gallons of the wastewater from the mine on Wednesday, and it flowed into the Animas river through a tributary.

The EPA warned people to stay out of the river, which is popular with boaters and anglers, and to keep domestic animals from drinking from it.

No drinking-water contamination was reported. At least seven water utilities shut down their intake valves ahead of the plume to keep it out of their systems. Farmers also closed the gates on their irrigation ditches to protect their crops.

Many in southwest Colorado regarded the EPA’s initial response to the spill as too slow

JERRY MCBRIDE/THE DURANGO HERALD VIA AP

People kayak in the Animas River near Durango, Colo., Thursday in water colored from a mine waste spill. and too small, Colorado’s lawmakers in Washington noted in a letter Friday to EPA administrator Gina McCarthy.

The spill threatens not only public health but the area’s agriculture and tourism, U.S. Sens. Michael Bennet, a Democrat, and Cory Gardner, a Republican, wrote, along with Republican U.S. Rep. Scott Tipton, whose district includes the area of the spill. “We urge the EPA to take full responsibility for this accident,� the Colorado lawmakers wrote. That includes with compensation to the communities hit by the yellow-orange surge of water, they said.

Colorado officials put 108 young trout in cages in the river to test the effects, and one died within the first 24 hours. It was too soon to draw any conclusions, Colorado Parks and Wildlife spokesman Joe Lewandowski said.

Water was still spilling from the mine Friday but officials didn’t know how fast. Crews were building containment ponds to catch it.

Card said the EPA has no way to get the discolored water out of the river and that it will eventually dissipate. It wasn’t

clear when that will happen.

Some of the heavy metals likely are settling to the bottom of the river or on beaches, Card said. Tests will be done to see if cleanup work should be done, said Martin Hestmark, an ecosystem remediation and protection administrator for the EPA. New Mexico officials were angry they were not told of the spill until Thursday, nearly a day after it occurred. “New Mexico deserves better,� state Environment Secretary Ryan Flynn said.

McGrath apologized for the EPA’s response and for previously sounding “cavalier� about the concerns for public health and the environment. “Our initial response to it was not appropriate in that we did not understand the full extent of what we were looking at here,� he said.

Few details have been released about the spill, except that the cleanup crew of EPA employees and contractors accidentally breached a debris dam that had formed inside the mine. The crew was trying to enter the mine to pump out and treat the water, EPA spokeswoman Lisa McClain-Vanderpool said.

Years in the making still worth the result

Opinion

Opinion Editor: Eric Petermann, 515-4610, eric.petermann@svherald.com

T

he wheels of government grind deliberately and slowly.

Any doubt in the validity of that statement was erased earlier this week at a meeting of the Metropolitan Planning Organization, the group primarily responsible for transportation planning in the Greater Sierra Vista area.

Members of the MPO board learned that efforts are underway to change the west end of Sierra Vista, both the entrance to the city and North Garden Avenue. Someday in the future, council members may look at plans to narrow the roadway, add a bike lane and make the area more “pedestrian-friendly.” At this juncture a more exact cost for the project is being studied, after which affected property and business owners will be asked for their input.

If the stars align, people don’t object, and the money can be found — renovation of North Garden Avenue might be the start of something special on the city’s west end.

Those are all big “ifs.”

As we witnessed with the Buffalo Soldier Trail plan, it doesn’t take much to knock a development plan off the “to do” list. At the same meeting, MPO board members learned that the BST extension — once planned to connect Highway 92 and Moson Road — is on indefinite hold. That project was moved to the back burner when two members of the board — Mayor Rick Mueller and County Supervisor Richard Searle — objected to the use of eminent domain to claim the private property needed to complete the road extension. The objections followed vocal opposition from several property owners affected by the proposed project.

It’s good to hear that the city and the MPO are beginning to focus on what can be done to improve the appearance and attractiveness of the West End, even if the results may be years away.

Making it easier and safer for pedestrians and bicyclists to access the businesses in that neighborhood will provide a living example of the good outcomes that can result from making a public investment to encourage another form of economic development.

Waiting in the wings

he Republicans have the largest candidate field for president in memory. The Democrats, on the other hand, may end up with only three serious contenders: Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Sen. Bernie Sanders and Vice President Joe Biden. And a Biden run is only speculation at this point.

Leading in the New Hampshire polls for Democrats is Hillary Clinton. Her advisers need to continue to keep foremost in their minds that this is 2016, not 1996, when her husband, Bill Clinton, was last elected. This is going to be an election, not a coronation.

So far, Hillary Clinton’s campaign seems to have a hard time getting any positive news.

But if anyone on Hillary’s team is even thinking of ignoring the Democratic primary voters and running a general election campaign, then her campaign is heading for a train wreck.

By running a general election campaign this early, she would fuel momentum for Sanders, a long-shot insurgent who is doing surprisingly well against her.

Hillary has to stiff-arm Sanders’ candidacy while embracing his progressive followers, a move requiring enormous political flexibility.

Hillary (and serious contenders in both parties) needs to address President Obama’s 2015 State of the Union challenge: How to ensure that all Americans share in the economic recovery.

Some interpreted his address as a challenge to the Clintons, but Obama implicitly praised Bill Clinton’s record by citing 1999 as the best year for the economy in recent memory.

Voters have short-term political memories. It’s political professionals, like myself, who recall the daily assaults on Obama’s recovery efforts as “job killers” and the false claims that his stimulus produced “zero jobs.”

Clinton needs to stay on course,

and continue to insist that all Americans share in the recovery. The Republican policies that put millions of American families on a personal austerity budget of hot dogs and chili OMMENTARY are waiting in the DONNA BRAZILE wings.

Also waiting in the wings are Hillary’s opponents, both Democratic and Republican, who hope to capitalize on an issue, any issue, that will knock her out of contention. Many hope that particular issue is Clinton’s use of a private computer server, and private emails, while secretary of state.

It isn’t the actual facts about the emails that are important to the politicians. Most voters do not know the details of her private server emails. Rather, what is being sold is the perception that something wrong was done.

Combating a shadow is the hardest job for a candidate. Right now, Hillary is boxing her own shadow, albeit a shadow that is gleefully distorted by her opponents’ spotlights.

Neither that shadow, nor the polls (which show some Clinton slippage), are her problem. We are 15 months from Election Day in November 2016. Today polls are entertaining snapshots of a race that is far from being in focus.

This far out, they are literally useless in predicting a winner.

No, Clinton’s current troubles come from being the frontrunner of 20-plus candidates, each one gunning for her. No other candidate has two House committees acting in tandem with the sole purpose of shooting down her candidacy. Congressional Republicans are using every lever of government that they control to try and see to it that their party controls the White House after this election.

The House select committee

C

on Benghazi has morphed from Middle-East terrorism into the “Hillary Email Committee.” Its chairman, Rep. Trey Gowdy, is a Republican politician who protests that he’s just seeking truth — yet permits leaks of parts of closeddoor testimony that distorts what was actually said, and every week labels Clinton news statements as “false,” when they are either demonstrably true or accurate within context.

Yet, for those who hope to spring traps for Hillary, hope springs eternal. If voters believed Harry Reid’s false 2012 claim that Romney didn’t pay taxes for 10 years, others will believe Gowdy.

But here’s the key: For a rumor, or a charge, to be believable, there has to be a kernel of credibility somewhere among all the husk layers. Reid’s charge was believed because Romney flatly refused to reveal his tax returns.

Charges that Clinton has not been fully forthcoming about her emails stem from her natural desire for privacy. Resisting press inquiries is an ingrained, longstanding habit for Hillary.

For instance, although Clinton published all her public-business emails, 50 percent of her emails were considered private and deleted. That allows opponents to endlessly speculate about what was in them.

Clinton’s only recourse is to vigorously confront the hypocrisy of the Benghazi probe, both over the emails and the response to the terrorist attack. That will keep her in fighting form right up into the thick of the race. Maybe getting her dander up is the biggest campaign boost Gowdy can gift Clinton.

Right now, let’s see what happens during the debates. Someone is always lurking in the shadows — waiting in the wings.

Commissary reformers eye repeal of ‘cost-plus-5%’ pricing

That, in turn, support for commissaries would allow cuts in the $1.4 while maintaining still billion annual appropriation attractive savings for of the Defense Commissary patrons.

Defense example, 15 percent below officials use “a myriad competitive off-base of business arguments … retailers would impact about a better commercial shoppers differently if approach. The fact is they assigned to high-cost San want to increase the costs to Diego than to low-cost Fort military patrons and make Sill, Oklahoma.

If grocery prices in DoD’s “draft” response are set not by cost but tied

M

to recommendations for reforming on-base store operations from the Military Compensation and Retirement Modernization Commission, which released its report last January.

Defense officials intend to reject, at least for now, the commission’s call to consolidate DeCA and the three military exchange services into a single defense resale system.

They note that DeCA and exchange services, which run base department stores and a host of other retail outlets, serve different purposes. Commissaries offer groceries at a discount and rely on appropriated funds. Exchanges sell products and services that generate profits and help to fund on-base morale, welfare and recreational activities. Exchanges get little taxpayer support.

Indeed, the deeper discounts offered at commissaries help to attract exchange customers.

A merger now, before adopting common business processes and developing a solid business plan, would be impractical, officials contend. But they also assert that with some legislative relief, including repeal of cost-plus-5-percent pricing, they can maintain current shopping benefits and achieve efficiencies that “result in significant savings for the taxpayer.”

To do this they need more flexibility in how commissary products “are sourced, where they are sold and how they are priced.” This would free commissaries “to adopt best commercial practices and

act in a more business-like manner without reducing the benefits” to shoppers.

Requiring that all goods be sold at cost plus a 5 percent surcharge is a disincentive to efficient business practices, says DoD’s draft document. Any retailer forced “to charge the same markup across its entire stock assortment will not be able to achieve the same efficiencies as a private-sector entity operating within a profitdriven market,” it says.

Congress ordered DoD a year ago to commission a study of the military resale system by business experts who could propose changes to make stores more efficient while preserving the benefit. That study by the Boston Consulting Group is almost complete.

An early draft runs to 270 pages and identifies actions to save DeCA by as much as $700 million a year.

Topping its list of “winwin opportunities” for taxpayers and patrons is transition from cost-plus-5percent to variable pricing.

This would allow the introduction of private label goods if Congress removes a mandate that commissaries can stock only national brands. Commercial grocers use private labels to offer lower prices and raise profit margins. DeCA could too, it says.

Current commissary pricing, it says, prevents DeCA from capturing any profit beside the 5 percent surcharge. That means DeCA, in effect, incurs a loss on each transaction. With cost-plus, it says, higher sales mean higher costs,

a perverse incentive for retailers. That leaves DeCA with few levers to pull to cut costs that aren’t negative for shoppers, such as reducing store hours. It also dampens its incentive to lower prices because that would mean lower surcharge revenue on which it relies to modernize stores.

Critics say many costs targeted by consultants actually are the unavoidable expense of delivering a prized shopping benefit to the military.

One part of the Boston Consulting Group study that can’t thrill DeCA casts doubt on its claim of 30 percent average savings.

Most patrons don’t believe that claim, the report says citing its own survey, and the claim doesn’t survive price comparisons with popular grocery stores off base.

“When compared to the lowest priced nearby competitor, we believe most patrons are actually experiencing 15 percent (to) 20 percent savings in (continental U.S.) locations,” the report says.

It cautions against narrowing savings too sharply, however. One finding of its patron survey is that a 5 percent price increase would shift 30 percent of commissary spending elsewhere.

A second risk for one type of fermented food: The World Health Organization has warned that heavy consumption of pickled foods may increase the risk of cancer.

Also, not all fermented foods contain live bacteria or probiotics. For example, fermented vegetables such as sauerkraut that are sold in grocery stores have been heated to a very high temperature. This kills all of the bacteria present in the food. The Nutrition Facts label on foods will contain the phrase “contains live and active cultures” if probiotics are present.

Do the probiotics present in many fermented foods have health benefits? In my opinion, this remains possible but unproven. Medical science is just in the beginning stages of learning about the possible value of different probiotics.

So, if you are someone who is not at risk from fermented foods, by all means enjoy them.

Dr. Jack Roland Hoffman, 86, dedicated physician and cherished husband, father and grandpa passed away on Tuesday, Aug. 4, 2015, at Lima Memorial Hospital in Lima, Ohio.

Top Ducey staffer leaves for private sector job

PHOENIX (AP) — Gov. Doug Ducey’s chief of operations is leaving after just eight months at the Republican governor’s office.

The governor’s office announced Friday that Ted Vogt will be leaving “to pursue a new opportunity in the private sector.”

The job wasn’t announced.

Ducey said Vogt was critical to his successful transition from former Gov. Jan Brewer’s administration in January.

Vogt will be replaced by the current director of the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality.

Charles Darwin will be replaced as ADEQ director by the agency’s current deputy director, Misael Cabrera.

Ex-con arrested in Tempe; Believed to be a serial burglar TEMPE (AP) — Authorities say they’ve arrested an ex-con in Tempe who they believe is a serial burglar.

Tempe police detectives and the U.S. Marshals Service Task Force arrested 41-year-old Michael Anthony Gaglio on Friday after he allegedly committed two early-morning burglaries in Tempe.

Police believe Gaglio is responsible for a burglary trend targeting small businesses in Tempe and other surrounding agencies.

It’s believed Gaglio has committed more than 20 burglaries in Tempe alone, starting in June 2015.

Authorities say Gaglio has a history of committing burglaries and he was arrested by Tempe detectives in 2000 for an identical burglary trend.

He was released from prison in March 2015.

It was unclear

Friday if Gaglio has a lawyer yet.

Passengers escorted off disabled train at Phoenix airport PHOENIX (AP) — An aerial train at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport is running again after being disabled for about three hours due to a power outage.

That resulted in firefighters escorting dozens of Sky Train passengers along a walkway to a nearby station Friday morning.

Airport spokeswoman Heather Lissner says the outage occurred about 9:40 a.m. when construction workers in a terminal inadvertently cut cables serving the train system’s controls.

She says the train’s two cars were safely evacuated after a wait of about 20 minutes, with passengers being escorted along a walkway along the train system’s aerial guideway.

Lissner says buses were used to take passengers between two airport terminals and stations at a parking garage and a connection to the Phoenxi metro area’s light rail system.

3 dogs dead, another injured after bee attack EL MIRAGE (AP) — Three dogs are dead and another injured after a bee attack in El Mirage.

Authorities say an El Mirage resident turned over an old couch Thursday and a swarm of bees flew out, stinging the home’s residents multiple times.

Emergency crews were able to foam the bees down and stop any further attacks, but it was too late for some of the dogs who were covered with bees and stung numerous times.

Phoenix TV station KTVK reports that one dog died at the scene.

dent that those charged h ad c om m it t e d t he crimes.

It’s unknown whether Simpson will now seek a Simpson hearing. His lawyer, Hector Diaz, didn’t return messages seeking comment.

Michael Black, a longtime Phoenix defense attorney who isn’t involved in Simpson’s case, said lawyers often seek Simpson hearings, but rarely succeed in getting bond for their clients in those cases.

“Even t hough you are entitled to the hearing, there are very few cases that I have heard of where somebody prevailed and has been entitled to bond,” Black said.

In the criminal case that led to the decision, Simpson was denied bail on a 2003 charge of engaging in sex with a child younger than 15.

The case’s outcome is unknown. A court has barred the public from viewing court records.

Hears second bus presentation for purchase of new busses

PHOENIX (AP) — A man whose court case a decade ago led to a reg u larly cited bai l rule in Arizona courts has been charged with trying to molest two 13-year-old girls after g iv i n g t hem e d ible marijuana.

Jason Donald Simpson, 45, is known for the 2004 appeals court decision that concluded people jailed without bond are entitled to a hearing to examine whether there’s proof to back up the charges before a judge can deny bail. The decision, which applies only in Arizona, led to what lawyers and judges regularly refer to as “Simpson hearings.”

Authorities say Simpson was arrested on July 27 after the sister of one of the victims discovered inappropriate text messages Simpson sent to the 13-year-old.

He has since been indicted on 33 charges, including child molestation, child prostitution

SCHOOL: Principals tackle challenges new year brings FROM PAGE A1 “ T h at w a s r e a l ly nice,” Bloss said.

“It’s been enjoyable,” he said of his beginnings as an elementary school principal. “It’s a much smaller setting, so you really get to know your students a lot more in that situation. It’s been a great experience working with young kids in kindergarten through fourth grade. They are just blank slates. They are excited and they are at that age where they still love school. It’s just really fun. They hug you every day. You don’t get that in high school.”

The 270 students at Gr e enway su r v ive d their first week as well, Bloss said.

“We had some tears the first day when they got off the buses,” he said. “You just have to reassure them that it’s going to be OK.” The biggest problem of the first week was just making sure that the kids got on the right buses, Bloss said, and the teachers all did a great job of that.

“It’s just been a wonderful experience to be able to come back to Bisbee,” he said. “It’s just a new experience and being a life long learner it’s fun to have this new chapter and develop it professionally,” he said.

“My whole goal is to be the best elementary school principal I can be.”

last week. New to the position and to Bisbee, Hardy said she survived a lot of firsts this last week on the job.

Prior to arriving in Bisbee, Hardy had been an eighth-grade science teacher at Joyce Clark Middle School in Sierra Vista for three years and she taught for three years in Douglas before that.

“This week has been so great, a big learning curve for all of us,” she said. “The teachers are great, the kids are happy, I met a lot of great parents who want to volunteer in our school.”

The 193 students in g rades five through eig ht a l so su r vived their first week, but not without a little mean girl drama.

“I had a little conversation with a little group of girls who were saying mean things ab out e a c h o t h e r,” Hardy said, “and we t a l ked about how women should lift each

other up instead of tear each other down.”

By t he end of t he week, the girls were all hanging out again, Hardy said.

She remarked on the differences between the age groups.

“We had an assembly for the fifth and sixth graders and we will have a separate one for the seventh and eighth g r ader s,” she s a id .

“They had some interesting questions.”

The younger ones are worried if they turn in assignment late will the teacher still accept it.

She was heading off to the afternoon assembly on Thursday with the older students. “ I k now t hey a r e going to ask questions like why do we have to have a dress code, and things like that,” she said. “Things have gone pretty smoothly.

Other than the mean girl incident, which really ended up being a nice conversation with the girls, and I have

“We have seven new t e acher s a nd t h r e e paraprofessionals and that is a lot of new faces for this size school but ever yone is just re ally collaborative and sharing. Our returning teachers are amazing and have been really welcoming to our new teachers. As a new principal I had my concerns but it’s just been smooth as silk, and our first fire drill went off without a hitch as well, so that’s awesome,” she said. “ M r.

came around to make sure everything went smoothly. In one of the classrooms our air conditioner stopped but the mai ntena nce people came out and fixed it within the hour. Everyone has just been really responsive. I couldn’t be happier.”

Bisbee High

At Bisbee High School, new principal Laura Miller isn’t a new face, as she taught English at the high school for three years, but is in her first principal job.

Miller served as an assistant principal at an elementary school previously so she is not completely new to administration.

“We are in the honey moon phase right now,” Miller said of the 350 students at the high school.

She said she was a little nervous because

a pipe had bu rst in the breezeway of the school in the week before school started but it was fixed before the first day of school.

“I was pleasantly surprised,” she said.

Four new teachers started this fall, Miller said, and the first week of classes at the high school went pretty smoothly.

“Ou r loca l K BR P r a d io p e r s o n R y a n Br uce is r u n ni ng a class for us and we have a powerhouse science teacher coming in, Ben Rey na, who will be starting up robotics for us, and Colleen Myers, who ran Rosa’s here in Warren, is the new culinary arts teacher and Christopher Hamilton will be teaching senior English,” she said. “It was a pleasant week, a good week.”

Now let’s see what the rest of the year brings.

After approving that ordinance, the council approved two more publ ic auc tion s for transfers of city property, one adjacent to 534 B Warren Hill St. and the other at 536C Warren Hill St. Bui lding inspector Joe Ward told the cou nci l t he properties were inaccessible to anyone else except the two adjacent landowners and he established bid prices of .90 cents a square foot for each. The first parcel is 2,0 4 2 square feet and the other is 2,280 square feet for minimu m bid pr ic e s of $1,838 on the first parcel and $ 2,052 on the second.

Swimmer still competing at 85 PEOPLE MY AGE WHO ARE STILL ABLE TO SWIM SHOULD DO IT. YOU DON’T HAVE TO COMPETE, JUST DO SOME PHYSICAL ACTIVITY. WE NEED TO TAKE CARE OF OUR BODIES FOR OURSELVES AND OUR FAMILIES. — FLORENCE FLOYD-SEVERSON

BY MAX LANCASTER For the Herald/Review

SI ER R A V ISTA — T h ree days a week, Florence Floyd-Severson, 85, wakes up, eats brea k fast, a nd goes for a swim. She dips her body in the pool a nd swi ms i n what she calls “therapeutic water.”

Floyd-Severson has been swimming in Sierra Vista since she was 65, a weekly ritual that has helped her compete and medal in three National Senior Games competitions.

“I am really blessed to be so strong and healthy,” Floyd-Severson said. “I would not be able to compete if I was not as healthy as I am.”

Floyd-Severson started competitive swimming at local Sierra Vi st a S en ior G a me competitions, a nd e ve nt u a l ly — t h a n k s to the advice from a friend— decided to compete in state qualifying, where she won gold in 1995.

Floyd-Severson went on to compete in three National Senior Games in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in 2004, Louisville, Kentucky, in 2007, and Minneapolis, Minne., in 2015.

During this year’s c omp et it ion , F loydSeverson won a silver medal in the 200-meter freestyle and a bronze medal in the 100-meter freestyle.

“I didn’t swim in my first competition ’til I was 65 years old,” she said. “I started swimm i n g when A r t hu r

Haight, my aerobics i n st r uc tor, s aw my stroke and told me I need to compete.”

Floyd-Severson admits that her swimming talents are not a natural gift but come from a childhood that nurtured aquatic fun.

“I grew up in New Hampshire and New Jersey, and there was always a lake and a reservoir to swim in,” Floyd-Severson said.

“My aunt even joined a beach club just so my sister and I could swim.”

An active li festyle has always been a must for F loyd- S ever son.

As a multi sport athlete in high school, she played basketball and baseball, the latter she claims she was not very good at. However, swimming has always been her favorite sport. It’s activity that she feels is just “really fun” and has kept her in good health.

“Swimming has kept me so healthy,” FloydSeverson said. “When I am swimming, I breathe better and my back does not hurt.”

Swimming has kept Floyd-Severson spry and it’s one of the reasons she still does the majority of her house a n d y a r d wo rk b y herself.

However, there have been times in her life t hat F loyd- Severson questioned if she could swim again. A car accident in 2009 and an infection last year almost kept her from it.

10-year-old girl youngest swimmer at worlds

BY BETH HARRIS The Associated Press

K A Z A N, Russia — Alzain Tareq led the parade of swimmers to the starting blocks for the first heat of the 50meter butterf ly at the world championships.

C a r r y i n g a wh it e towel, the 10-year-old girl from Bahrain was dwarfed by the taller and much older girls in her heat. A buzz quickly built among spectators in the stands at Kazan Arena, startled at the sight of the tiny figure on the blocks. " I wa s wonder i n g how they make suits that small," marveled American star Missy Franklin.

Ta req b ec a me t he youngest swimmer to ever compete at the worlds on F riday, a major step toward accomplishing her goal of qualifying for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

She was last in her preliminary heat with a time of 41.13 seconds, slowest among all 64 swi m mers. She f i nished 15.70 seconds behind leading qualifier Sarah Sjostrom of Sweden, who clocked 25.43.

"I feel so happy," said Tareq, who succeed-

Her time didn't matter; she is in Kazan to s o a k up k nowle d ge from her opponents.

"I want to learn the techniques and how they swim," she said.

access to 25 - and 50 meter pools in the capital of the Persian Gulf nation, which has no swimming tradition.

She st a r ted swi mming at age four, and is being overseen in Kazan by her father.

T h e you n g s t e r h a s raced at meets in her home country as well as t he United A rab Emirates, Qatar, and Jordan.

"She has the experience of competing, but this is a completely different level," her father said. "She is loving it."

Tareq is one of 12 girls — all under 12

— training on a team in Bahrain. She is the fastest of them all, so she was chosen by her coach to compete in Kazan. " I wa s ver y, ver y scared to go for all the attention she is going to get," her father said.

"She made history and we are very proud."

During her first few

days in Kazan, Tareq was busy taking photos with swimmers from countries like Brazil and Japan. Now athletes are approaching her for photos.

"She said, ' L ook, these are my idols. I want to beat them in the future,'" her father said. "I said, 'W hen you reach that time they are probably gone, but you can beat their times.'"

"For a 10-year-old to be able to put into perspective her own goals at this meet is really cool," Coventry said.

"It's exciting to see such a young swimmer with so much confidence, and she knows what she wants."

Franklin called Tareq "the cutest thing I've ever seen in my life."

"I got in her warm down lane the other day because I wanted to be friends with her, but I didn't get a chance to talk to her," she said.

"Every time she sees me she gives me the biggest smile."

Tareq returns on Saturday to compete in the 50 freestyle, an event dominated by another of her idols, Cate Campbell of Australia.

Ready for football? So are we.

Watch the Herald/Review all next week as we start scouting area high school football programs. Beginning Sunday, we’ll present “7 Positions in 7 Days,� in which we’ll look each day at the players competing for starting spots at Buena, Bisbee and Tombstone high schools.

Quarterbacks? Linemen? Wide receivers? We’ve got you covered.

We start Sunday with the quarterback spot at all three schools, followed by running backs on Monday, wide receivers on Tuesday, offensive linemen on Wednesday, linebackers on Thursday, defensive backs on Friday, and defensive linemen on Saturday.

Any coach will tell you that starting spots are guaranteed to no one, especially during training camp’s daily evaluations. But we’ll look at which players are in the mix as the season fast approaches.

Also, watch for our Cochise County High School Football 2015 Season Preview special section, which will publish in the Sierra Vista Herald/Bisbee Daily Review on Aug. 26.

Before then, starting Sunday, our “7 in 7� series gets you a look at the position battles brewing in preseason practice.

The Cochise women’s rodeo team finished 16th in the nation last year, and returns three nationals-qualifying competitors in 2015-16.

Apaches open practice this month, then hit the road

BY STEVE STOCKMAR steve.stockmar@svherald.com

DOUGLAS — The Cochise College rodeo team will log plenty of miles in the 2015-16 season, as they return following the women’s top 20 finish at nationals a year ago.

Logging lots of miles is nothing new in the sport. From an 11-hour trip to Arizona’s northeast corner in the Navajo Reservation town of Tsaile, to another stop in Tucumcari, N.M., it wouldn’t be rodeo without the road. “That’s rodeo,� longtime Apaches head coach Rick Smith said Friday. “Rodeo is traveling.�

Team members will start arriving on campus this weekend ahead of the first official practice on Aug. 17.

Cochise is coming off a season in which the women’s team finished 16th in the nation at the College National Finals Rodeo in Casper, Wyoming. Better still, three of the team’s placers at nationals — Janey Reeves (sixth, breakaway roping), Makayla Boots (22nd, goat tying)

DID YOU KNOW:

and Georgia Diez (23rd, goat tying) — are back for another run this season.

The women’s team will add recruit Haley Dalton to the mix in 2015-16. The Las Vegas product was a three-event qualifier for the National High School Rodeo Association Finals. “The type of kids we try and recruit are gonna stay in shape,�

Smith said. “They’re self-motivated, hard working kids. That’s what we look for.�

The Apaches wi l l have their two traditional home rodeos this season. The first takes place during the Cochise County Fair on Sept. 24-27, and the other comes during the spring portion of the team’s schedule in March on Fort Huachuca. “I’ve been doing this for 21 years now, and I coached 17 years in Wyoming, which is the heart of rodeo country. We had 10 rodeos a year in that region. And the two most wellattended college rodeos I’ve ever seen are our rodeo in Douglas and our rodeo on the fort,� Smith said.

The College National Finals Rodeo is the “Rose Bowl� of college rodeo.

More than 400 cowboys and cowgirls from over 100 universities and colleges compete in Casper each year. “The crowd participation is great at both those rodeos.�

The team has three rodeo arenas at its Douglas facility, not to mention its own practice stock. By the second week of school, the Apaches’ four-days-a-week practice schedule will be in full swing, even throughout the winter months between the fall and spring competition dates.

It’s all part of the journey to return to the national finals in Casper, although the practice pace to get there is very structured, Smith says. “You don’t want them to leave everything at practice,� he added. “You want them to be ready when the rodeo starts, so it’s a feel that you develop over the years of how strenuous you make practices versus taking it easy at times and letting them recuperate mentally and physically.

Because they need that, too.�

Phelps leaves no doubt he’ll be ready for Rio Olympics SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Michael Phelps held up one finger, leaving no doubt he’s No. 1.

Then he pounded the water defiantly — first with one hand, then with both.

Yep, he’s back.

Removing any uncertainty about how ready he’ll be for the Rio Olympics, Phelps turned in his fastest time in the 200-meter butterfly since setting the world record in a high-tech suit six years ago.

Phelps’ stunner — 1 minute, 52.94 seconds at the U.S. national championships Friday night — came after months of lackluster performances and serious problems away from the pool. “This next year is going to be pretty damn fun,� said Phelps, who unleashed one of the biggest celebrations of his career when he saw the time.

This cartoon gives me a sore neck.

The Eiffel Tower has changed color several times over the years. Today, the tower is painted with three shades of “Eiffel Tower Brown.” The bottom of the tower is the darkest shade. The middle section is slightly lighter, and the top section is the lightest. The different shades make the tower appear to be one color when viewed against the sky.

THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT News, upcoming events and the stories that will be talked about today:

HERALD/REVIEW

FROM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BLASTS KILL 35, TEST AFGHAN 1 KABUL PRESIDENT’S PEACE PLAN

KABUL, Afghanistan — Two massive attacks in Kabul on Friday, one near a government and military complex in a residential area and the other a suicide bombing outside a police academy, killed at least 35 people, sending the strongest message yet to Afghan President Ashraf Ghani that militants are still able to strike at his heavily fortified seat of power.

No one claimed responsibility for the attacks, though officials indicated they blamed the Taliban.

The implications of the assaults, however, undermine claims by security services and the government that the capital is immune from devastating attacks. They also pose a major challenge to Ghani, who has made the peace process with the Taliban the hallmark of his presidency since taking office last year.

In the evening hours, a suicide bomber dressed in a police uniform struck outside the gates of a police academy in Kabul, killing at least 20 recruits and wounding 24, Afghan officials said.

The attacker walked into a group of recruits waiting outside the academy and detonated his explosivesladen vest, said a police officer, who goes by the name of Mabubullah. Many Afghans use only one name. A security official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to reporters, said there were at least 24 wounded among the recruits.

Later on Friday evening, insurgents launched an attack on a NATO military base near Kabul’s international airport, according to the coalition spokesman, Col. Brian Tribus. Two insurgents were killed in the assault, he added, without giving further details.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

An Afghan police officer inspects the site of a car bomb attack in Kabul, Afghanistan, Friday. A bomb hidden in a truck exploded in the center of the Afghan capital, killing several people and wounding hundreds, police and health officials said Friday.

FRENCH PAIR WHO DIED IN 3 SHERIFF: U.S. DESERT LIKELY SAVED SON

ALAMOGORDO, N.M. — A French couple who died during an afternoon hike across the searing New Mexico desert likely saved their 9-year-old son by giving him two sips of water for each one they took before the supply ran out, a sheriff said Friday.

The boy was dehydrated but in remarkably good shape when he was found alongside his dead father on a trail in the White Sands National Monument, Otero County Sheriff Benny House said.

The father and son were found Tuesday about an hour after park rangers found the mother dead.

“That may be why he fared so well, is he was a lot smaller and probably had twice as much water,” House said. “He was well hydrated, compared to the other two.”

House identified the couple as David Steiner, 42, and his wife, Ornella Steiner, 51. The boy’s name wasn’t released. They were tourists from the small town of Bourgogne, near the city of Reims, France.

The couple appears to have died of heat-related causes, House said. An autopsy to determine the official cause of death was pending, according to the state medical investigator’s office.

TOP BEER SCARCE 4 VENEZUELA’S AMID HEAT WAVE

VERDICT MEANS JAMES HOLMES 2 JURY WILL SPEND LIFE BEHIND BARS

CENTENNIAL, Colo. (AP) — Twelve jurors failed to agree on a death sentence for Colorado theater shooter James Holmes on Friday, prompting shocked sobs from victims, police officers and his own mother. The former neuroscience graduate student will instead spend the rest of his life in prison for mass murder.

The nine women and three men said they could not reach a unanimous verdict on each murder count. That automatically eliminates the death penalty for Holmes, who blamed his killings of 12 people on mental illness.

The verdict came as a surprise. The same jury earlier rejected Holmes’ insanity defense, finding him capable of understanding right from wrong when he carried out the 2012 assault that injured 70. Jurors also previously moved closer to the death penalty when they quickly determined the heinousness of Holmes’ crimes outweighed his mental illness.

As the sentence was read, Holmes’ mother, Arlene, who had asked the jury to spare her son’s life, leaned her head against her husband’s shoulder and began sobbing.

Tears broke out across the courtroom. In the back, Aurora police officers who responded to the bloody scene of Holmes’ attacks began crying.

Sandy Phillips, whose daughter Jessica Ghawi was killed by Holmes, shook her head no and then held it in her hands. Ashley Moser, whose 6-year-old daughter died in the attack and who was herself paralyzed by Holmes’ bullets, also shook her head and then slowly leaned it against the wheelchair of another paralyzed victim, Caleb Medley.

Families of victims began to leave the courtroom as Judge Carlos Samour Jr. continued reading the verdict.

Their wails were audible through the closed courtroom doors.

As in previous proceedings, Holmes, who is on anti-psychotic medication that dulls his responses, showed no reaction. His attorneys left court without commenting.

CARACAS, Venezuela — Venezuelans are facing the prospect of a heat wave without their favorite beer, the latest indignity in a country that has seen shortages of everything from disposable diapers to light bulbs.

Cerveceria Polar, which distributes 80 percent of the beer in the socialist South American country, began shutting down breweries this week because of a lack of barley, hops and other raw materials, and has halted deliveries to Caracas liquor stores.

“This is never-never land,” said Yefferson Ramirez, who navigated a rush of disgruntled customers Thursday behind the counter at a corner store in posh eastern Caracas. The shop has been out of milk and bottled water for months, but the beer shortfall is provoking a new level of irritation.

“People more freaked out about losing beer than water — it shows how distorted our priorities have become here,” Ramirez said.

Some of the customers walking away emptyhanded headed a few blocks down to El Tigre, a prime showcase of the country’s beer culture, where people while away balmy nights with a steady stream of light beer that comes in undersized bottles to ensure it never gets warm. Waiters ran around the bar’s outdoor plaza plopping down fresh drinks on plastic tables covered with dozens of empty bottles.

El Tigre has kept going during a heat wave that has seen temperatures soar as high as 30 C (86 F) in a month that averages 23 C (about 73 F) by buying up all the Polar beer its waiters can find at supermarkets and selling the bottles for 200 bolivars rather than the normal 150, in violation of government price controls.

Angel Padra was arranging his empty bottles into concentric circles Thursday night, lamenting that Venezuela wouldn’t be the same without the dark version of the popular beer, Polar negra.

U.S. economy adds 215k jobs WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. job market just demonstrated that it may be nearing full health more than six years after the Great Recession — and showed why the Federal Reserve may be about to raise interest rates from record lows.

July marked the latest month in a streak of solid hiring, with employers adding 215,000 jobs and the unemployment rate holding at a relatively low 5.3 percent, the government said Friday.

Month ly job g row th has averaged 211,286 so far this year, a level suggesting that employers are confident the economy will continue to expand and require more workers in the coming months and years.

The government also said employers added a total of 14,000 more jobs in May and June than previously estimated.

"Another solid jobs report suggests the economy is gaining strength and keeps the Fed on track to raise rates as early as the next meeting," in September, Sal Guatieri, a senior economist at BMO Capital Markets, said in a research note.

The Fed has held its key short-term rate near zero since the financial crisis of 2008 to try to energize borrowing, investing and spending. But now the Fed is close to concluding that the economy is strong enough to withstand higher rates.

Still, many Americans remain anxious about the modest recovery. The economy's overall growth rate has remained lackluster at an annualized pace of 1.5 percent in the first of half the year, and pay raises have been sluggish, with average hourly earnings in July up just 2.1 percent from a year earlier.

Some of those misgivings were on display Thursday night at the first Republican presidential debate, where the candidates talked of simplifying the tax code, slashing regulations and easing the pressures on American workers resulting from immigration and global trade.

"The jobs that once sustained our middle class — they either don't pay enough or they are gone," said Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, offering a perspective shared by many Democrats as well.

Companies are laying off fewer and fewer workers, with the monthly average of people seeking unemployment benefits near a 15-year low. At the same time, roughly 8.3 million Americans are looking for work, and many others have given up.

Since the recession began in late 2007, 14.5 million people have left the job market, either abandoning their search for work, choosing to retire or staying in school longer. The result is that the share of adults working has fallen to 59.3 percent, the lowest level in 31 years.

The pace of hiring has managed to help revive housing and auto sales, according to industry reports. Friday's jobs report also suggests that employers anticipate higher consumer spending. Retailers added 35,900 workers in July and restaurants 29,300.

Rising home sales helped boost construction jobs by 6,000. Manufacturers added 15,000 jobs, with food, plastics and rubber factories accounting for most of the gain. Business services — a category that includes lawyers, accountants and engineers — added 40,000 workers, though the number of temporary employees on short-term contracts fell 8,900.

In New York, Paul Persiani recently turned his temporary job into a permanent position with a food manufacturer.

An accountant by training, he lost a job last year and then spent his downtime upgrading his computer skills. It allowed him to command a higher salary in his new position at Materne North America.

"I'm a lot better off than a year ago due to the tricks I taught myself," said Persiani, 30.

Overall, though, the strong dollar has slowed economic growth by making U.S. exports costlier overseas. And lower gasoline and oil prices have yet to deliver the kind of economic boost they have in the past.

Energy companies responded to oil below $50 a barrel by cutting orders for equipment and pipelines, prompting many manufacturers to slow their hiring.

And instead of spending the money saved because of cheaper gas, consumers have mostly pocketed the cash.

School takes energy.

HERALD/REVIEW

Daughter-in-law keeps a messy home DEAR ANNIE: My son and daughter-inlaw have two beautiful children, ages 6 and 7.

Since my retirement, I’ve taken care of the children while the parents work. I also gave them a large sum of money for the down payment on their home in an area with good schools.

Over the past couple of years, I have noticed that they spend money extravagantly and have failed to keep up with the maintenance of their house. Last month, they informed me that they may need to sell the place, because they find it difficult to keep up with expenses, even though I know their income is perfectly adequate to cover all of their household costs.

I have a real estate background and explained to them that the market has declined, making the value of the house less than what they

SUDOKU

FAMILY CIRCUS

ANNIE'S MAILBOX KATHY MITCHELL AND MARCY SUGAR owe on it. I became quite impatient and almost angry, suggesting that they seek financial guidance to get back on track. In addition, I am emotionally and physically drained when caring for the children, as they do not keep the house clean and piles of dirty clothing can be found all over. At times, I have done the wash and cleaned the house, simply so I can tolerate being there. I am concerned about my grandchildren in that environment.

I have spoken to my son and he says he won’t confront his wife on these issues because he wants to choose his battles. My daughterin-law does not seem to mind living in a

dirty, disorganized environment. I feel she is negligent and not providing the proper care and nurturing for my grandchildren. She only works part-time and could do these things.

Should I bring the kids to my house instead? I am trying to be positive, but it is becoming difficult to maintain a relationship with her. — Need Cleanliness DEAR NEED: We cannot caution you enough that you are risking your relationship with your son and grandchildren by being so critical of your daughter-in-law.

Unwashed clothes and dishes in the sink do not constitute a danger to the children. The fact that her job is parttime does not mean all the responsibility for the house falls on her shoulders. Your son can do laundry, too, and the children are old enough to pick up their clothes.

It may not be up to your standards, but that’s not your decision.

Here’s our advice: If you can bring the kids to your home, do so. You will be calmer. But do not say anything to your son or daughter-in-law about the cleanliness of their house. Your advice that they seek financial counseling is excellent and we hope they take it, but they are less likely to listen to you if you are impatient, angry and overly critical. Tread lightly.

By Eugenia Last TODAY Turn your dreams into reality. Don’t let drawbacks or disappointments stop you from reaching for the top.

Determination and willpower will help you overcome any roadblocks. Follow your instincts to a more productive and happier lifestyle. It’s up to you to make things happen.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Save your breath. Getting into a battle of wills with someone who won’t back down is pointless. Agree to disagree, make your own decisions and do your own thing.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Tend to the needs of someone who is struggling. Don’t get stuck in a routine or be afraid of trying something new. Take a stand and make decisions that will improve your life.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Spend time improving your living space. Get rid of items that are no longer useful and replace them with products that will make your life more comfortable.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Don’t allow anyone to make you feel guilty for doing things you enjoy. You will eventually overextend yourself if you keep paying for others. Consider your health and well-being.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — If you surround yourself with people who share your beliefs and morals, you’ll feel secure. Judgmental, critical or negative people are best avoided if you want to get ahead.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Updating your look will help improve your image and self-confidence. Presenting a capable, take-charge persona will make others see you as an accomplished and responsible leader.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Take a close look at the people around you. It’s time to break free from anyone who is too controlling or only looking to use you to get ahead. Focus on your own advancement.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Organize a get-together with people who make you happy. Workplace woes will fade into the background once you are having fun with like-minded people.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Look into making a professional change if you feel that your talents are being wasted.

Do your research and stay on top of job opportunities both in and outside of your locale.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Don’t jump to conclusions. If you are not clear about something, ask. You are likely to end up in a vulnerable position if you have made an assumption or misinterpreted an offer.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Money matters are highlighted. Focus on building a secure future. Purchases that grow in value should be considered. Be smart, do your research and make your move.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Concentrate on important relationships. Do something you enjoy with the people you care about. Building closer ties with loved ones will relieve stress and promote happiness.

Need something done? This is the place to find the solution!
