From the side the 2013 Kia Sorento EX 4WD looks similar to a more expensive SUV like the BMW X5, which is not a bad thing at all. Inside, it also has lots of similarities from dual-zone air-conditioning to leather to that quiet yet very agile ride. I have no problem with a $34,390 SUV looking and handling like a more luxurious and sportier competitor that costs 15 to 20 thousand dollars more. I suppose KIA doesn’t have a problem with it, either.

This is a really roomy, well-designed and well-proportioned vehicle for all sorts of families. It’s not too big, it has seating for seven people, and it just has that big-time SUV feel without being too much of a monster on the highway. Speaking of highway, I got 28 miles per gallon when driving on long desert roads, which is better than the 26 the EPA says I should have achieved. I had the A/C on and the radio full blast. Although radio volume

doesn’t detract from mileage in a technical sense, it certainly can when Tom Petty encourages me to roll on down the road to lyrics like I heard the other day: Mary got a brand new car Mary got a brand new set of wheels Now everyone here is so charged Man, you don’t know how good it feels And we wanna go where she goes We wanna listen to her radio It was one of those cosmic moments when the radio and the day combine to bring about the feeling that anything and everything is possible, and I have the Sorento’s outstanding Infi nity

sound system to thank. Although Mary actually did get a brand new car (for a week’s test drive), she had to share it with her husband. One single feature would place this SUV at the top of my shopping list and that is its ability to remember my seat and mirror positions. Let’s just say that Cliff is six-foot-

Steven Storm and Danielle Neibling in front of the original “Oracle” Quince. This is the link between Oracle and Tucson’s Mission Garden! (Submitted photo)

By Danielle NeiblingSpecial to the Crier A four-acre historic garden is coming back to life in Tucson. The Mission Garden has officially occupied its present location since 1770, and yet this landmark does not appear on downtown maps or guides. It was built to supply the Convento and San Agustin chapel residents and the

Tohono O’odham living around its walls. For now, if you can find the foot of A Mountain, you will find yourself impressed at authentic recreations of the buttressed adobe walls that seem miraculous materialization considering our recession. Father Kino was familiar with the existence of the unlikely; after all, a garden in the desert is an ultimate

Garden with Oracle ties coming back to lifegesture of faith. What was treasure within 200 years ago is again pertinent as we come to understand that heirloom food crops make sense. On a recent Tues. afternoon, I called the number on TucsonOrigins.com and spoke to Roger Pfeuffer, who suggested I come on over. Keys in hand, he swung open the rustic mesquite gates to show me the future. On wrought iron hinges, these gates evidence the attention to detail being lavished upon this project. Two ramadas, one native and the other Spanish offer the only shade from which to absorb the quantity of what has already been achieved. The ‘Mission Orchard’ section is already thriving with young cultivars of pear, fig, apricot, orange, lime, plum, grapes, pomegranate, and quince- of which one cultivar came

directly from Oracle. “All the trees are part of the Kino Heritage Fruit Trees project and are descendants of trees that existed at the time of the Spanish Mission era,” Pfeuffer said. It’s being achieved through a three-way, five-year agreement between Pima County, the City of Tucson and the Friends of Tucson’s Birthplace, a 501(c)(3) created to protect and restore the rich cultural treasures, west of the Santa Cruz River adjacent to downtown. Subsequent phases of Mission Garden are well in place. Planting schemes on paper, water sources that will breathe life into the concrete Acequia with its four channels, and next, a Winter Garden between the dormant fruit trees will feature lentils, garbanzos, epazote, garlic and onions just to name a few. Work is being carried out on a volunteer basis, and

newcomers are welcome to come visit, learn and pitch in. Walking the garden is easy, even for those with a handicap. The paths are wide and covered with fine gravel. So as you stand taking it all in, it’s impossible not to indulge your imagination, seeing straw hated gardeners pushing wooden wheel barrows, their rough tunics catching a breeze as they bear in compost and seedlings; the ghosts of things to come. There are hopes for workshops, lectures, cooking and preparation of native crops, which will

teach us how to grow these plants and integrate these foods into our diets. The current board welcomes involvement and inspiration. Themes of future planting areas echo history, early agriculture, Hohokam, O’odham, Mexican era, territorial era, and statehood era with a Chinese contribution. Visiting hours currently are from 8 a.m. until 12 p.m. each Sat. Plan to take a side trip to see for yourself- it’s not far from Desert Survivors, a source for many cultivars you will see installed at San Agustin.


Oracle Union Church will host its annual “all-you-can-eat” breakfast from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. on Sat., Nov. 17, 2012. The menu includes biscuits, sausage gravy, scrambled eggs with or without ham, orange juice, tea, coffee. The cost is $5 for adults, $3.50 for children under 12 and free for children under

five. This is a fund raiser for the church’s women’s group. Come and enjoy a visit with your neighbors and a wonderful breakfast. The church ladies will also have a yummy bake sale featuring cakes, cookies, breads and soups. The proceeds are used to purchase Christmas gifts for children held in Pinal County Protective Services

Oracle Union Church to host annual breakfast, bake sale

and to help needy families during the Christmas holidays.

By Gary Every Special to the Crier Alice Ivers was born in Sudbury, England in 1851. Her family left England and ended up in Colorado when she was a teenager. Alice Ivers married a mining engineer named Duffield. Her stint as a housewife was a short one because Duffield died in a mining accident before his wife had reached her twenty-first birthday. The widow received a generous pension so it must have been boredom and not money which first propelled her to gravitate towards the saloons. She took a fancy to playing cards and soon earned the nickname “Poker Alice.” She also acquired a liking

for fat cigars and kept a .45 revolver with her at the gambling tables but always refused to gamble on Sundays. Poker Alice followed the gold rush to Deadwood, South Dakota. Her skills as a card sharp brought her a great deal of fame and fortune. Although Poker Alice never confessed to cheating it was certainly a standard practice of the times. It was obvious she admired the men who had the stuff to pull off such nefarious schemes. Poker Alice became adept at the tricks of the trade herself; her soft gentle hands were much valued in the card sharp business. Soft hands were better at

reading the notches and bumps found on marked cards. Poker Alice claimed she never cheated although her profession required her to learn the tricks of the trade to protect herself. She swore that in all her years of gambling, “I handled a cold deck only once, and that for a joke.” She traveled all across the west, riding the rails and hustling the tourists. At least until the locomotive lines got wise and banned professional gamblers. Before the end of the century she had returned to Deadwood. Poker Alice remarried a gentleman named Tubbs. The newlyweds had a great

By John Hernandez The Oracle Run celebrated 30 years of running on Sat., Oct. 27. There were 181 runners that participated in what many say may be the toughest 10K in Arizona. It was a windy day but it didn’t stop the enthusiasm for this year’s race. A special commemorative T-shirt featured the art of Elizabeth Ott. Elizabeth was a beloved young woman by all that knew her in Oracle. A special exhibit of some of her paintings was displayed in the Acadia Ranch Museum. Another special feature was the return of an Oracle “home girl” and Oracle Run record holder Kellie

Cathey (Archuleta). Kellie still holds the best overall time for women. Kellie was a prolific runner at San Manuel High School and the University of Oklahoma. She was a high school and college All-American. She competed against the best runners in the world after leaving school and more than held her own. Kellie no longer runs but was named the official starter for this year’s race. The men’s overall Oracle Run record holder and last years overall champion Craig Curley made an appearance although he did not run. No records would be broken this year. The overall first place men’s

finisher this year was James Miles of Tucson with a time of 37:32:00. Aaron Ragsdale took second place overall and first in the 20-24 age division. Third place overall went to Brian Hall. He finished first in the 35-39 age division. The women’s overall best time was 42:36:00 by Polly Campbell of Tucson. Second place overall female finisher was Allie Keogh who finished first in the 20-25 age division. Marjanne Schnarr finished third overall and first in the 35-39 division. Ken Huff “The Man Who Runs in Jeans” of Oracle was the top finisher of local runners. He finished 34th overall but third in his age division 55-59. The top local women’s runner was Cathleen Piermarini of Oracle who finished first in her age division 60-64. The first place finisher

in the one-mile fun run was Andreas Valenzuela. To view all the results of the Oracle 10K run visit AZRoadrunners.org. This year’s award plaques contained the image of an Elizabeth Ott painting of Cherry Valley in Oracle. There were many raffle prizes given away including pumpkins from the historic Carlink Ranch, dinners from local restaurants, margarita glasses, a one night’s stay at the Triangle L Ranch and much more. A special commemorative clay mug made by Oracle artist Karen Medley was given to the overall men and women’s winners. The mug also contained a small bag of 100 percent Kona Coffee from the Kona Coffee Café in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii. The café is owned by former San Manuel resident Trish Merschdorf. The Oracle Historical Society would like to thank

the family of Elizabeth Ott, the Southern Arizona Roadrunners, Ken and Marie Huff for the great food, all the volunteers, donors, runners, Kellie Cathey Archuleta and of course Darrell “Hills R’ Us” Klesch who made the Oracle Run another successful event.

deal in common for they were both professional gamblers. They decided to retire from their dangerous past time and purchased a chicken ranch. They enjoyed a rather peaceful, pastoral, but odorous existence of wedded bliss until Tubbs died of pneumonia in 1910. Alice once again grew bored of the widow’s life. She returned to gambling, saving her winnings until she could afford to open up a saloon called “Poker Alice,” located in South Dakota between the town of Sturgis and South Fort Meade. Business was quite lucrative. For the benefi t of the local soldiers Alice imported some soiled doves. Alice’s puritanical Victorian English upbringing revealed itself and none of her working girls were permitted to employ their trade on

Sundays. Alice would round the girls up and drag them to church every Sunday as a condition of employment. Alice married again. The groom was another professional gambler who went by the name of George Huckert. Prohibition now darkened the land but the local law stayed away from a celebrity such as Poker Alice. At least until Alice was charged with shooting one

of the Fort Meade soldiers. Although the jury acquitted Alice by saying that she acted in self-defense, the irate D.A. did manage to close the saloon. In the late 1920’s George Huckert had gone to meet his maker. Alice retired to a small house in Sturgis and kept chomping cigars until her own death in 1930 when Alice Ivers Duffi eld Tubbs Huckert folded her last hand.

By Skylar KhanSpecial to the Crier In their book ‘The Day America Told the Truth,’ James Patterson and Peter Kim report that 91 percent of Americans lie regularly. The authors continue to identify the number of specifi c groups being lied to: 86 percent of the people lie to their parents, 75 percent of the people lie to their friends, 73 percent of the people lie to their siblings, 69 percent of the people lie to their lovers, 61 percent of the people lie to their boss and 59 percent of the people lie to their children. These numbers are higher than one would expect, to say the least. It raises the question whether, and to what extent, values like truth and integrity are still relevant. The general public’s attitude appears to be one of forgiveness toward lies from professionals, politicians, celebrities, students and anyone else for that matter, indicating to us that wrongful statements have become the norm rather than the exception. Perhaps the root cause of this development is the fact that many citizens have lost touch with their community and/or human interaction. Many people now fi nd their ‘friends’ on sites like Facebook when, in reality, they have no true friends to share a cup of coffee with or whom they can join for a walk. This fosters an attitude of taking care of themselves instead of being concerned about the welfare of others. When addressing the subject of honesty in a handwriting specimen through the eyes of a Graphologist, we would fi rst of all look at global factors like form, rhythm, spontaneity, style and clarity in the writing. In addition, special attention would be given to communication letters such as a, o, g and d to ascertain whether the characters are penned without loops or hooks inside the ovals, see below.

The trait of diplomacy represents the art of telling you bad news in a pleasant manner. Diplomacy is considered to be an asset in well-developed writing, and a liability in underdeveloped poor-form writing. The words gradually become smaller toward the end, as seen in the signature below.

A reductive to honesty would be the trait of ‘evasiveness.’ Evasiveness is observed as a small initial hook inside oval letters, as seen in the second a and inside the letter q below:

Another form of dishonesty would be self-deceit. Faced with an unhappy situation, a person may unconsciously alter reality by telling themselves that things are really not as bad as they appear. The easiest person to deceive is oneself. The trait of self-deceit has been found in the writings of highly skilled and successful individuals. Graphic expression of self-deceit is an initial loop on the left, inside oval letters such as a, d, g and o. See below:

Deliberate deceit, or outright lies, are seen in a double loop inside these same oval letters. Below, please note letters a and o with overlapping loops inside the oval.

Readers are cautioned not to be hasty in jumping to conclusions when seeing this trait in a friend’s handwriting. Someone may be deliberately covering up a sensitive issue that they are currently dealing with. Once the problem has been resolved, the ovals may revert back to being clean. The same applies to children’s writing as well. If the above ‘liar’ loops are coupled with ‘diplomacy’ however, you can be assured that the person is a calculating manipulator. Habitual liars are not bothered by ethics or conscience and therefore loops would not necessarily be found in their handwriting. Sometimes it is important to read between the lines and to observe unusual signs in a writing specimen. For example, if certain letters drop below the baseline or jump into the upper zone where they do not belong, it would be a red fl ag. Unusual spacing can be another indicator of behavioral problems. No trait stands alone, and the whole document needs to be examined in order to arrive at an accurate personality profi le. As far as truth is concerned, former governor of Illinois and ambassador to the United Nations sums it up best with his statement: “You will fi nd that the truth is often unpopular if the contest between agreeable fancy and the disagreeable fact is unequal. For, in the vernacular, we Americans are suckers for good news.” –Adlai Stevenson

Health Issues: DiabetesBy Dr. Michael MilesSpecial to the Crier This is another instance of “too much of a good thing can be bad for us.” Sugar is an essential part of life. It is required as fuel by every cell in our bodies. It is provided in every food that we eat. Problems occur when we take in too much of it too quickly. Some foods have just “bare naked” sugar, like we find

in candy and cake and soda pop. This enters our blood stream in large amounts instantaneously without other nutrients to help process it. Other foods deposit sugar into our system just as quickly, but give us a few vitamins, minerals and enzymes to help us process it. This is what happens with fruit juice and honey. Finally, Mother Nature

packages sugar in fiber-rich foods like vegetables that release it slowly and evenly over time so that we have a constant supply of manageable fuel at our disposal. We can get ourselves into trouble if we are exposed to too much sugar at any one time. This is basically the definition of diabetes, too much sugar in the blood stream consistently over

time. Think of the blood stream as the highways of your body. Sugar will be carried along these highways on their way to feed all of your cells. Insulin acts as a key to unlock the doors of the cells and allow the sugar to enter from the bloodstream. The cells then use the sugar as fuel to do whatever it is that they are programmed to do (for example a heart cell will pump, a liver cell will detoxify, a brain cell will think, etc.). Insulin is a hormone made in the pancreas. It is released in various amounts depending on the amount of sugar that it’s used to seeing in the blood stream. People with Type I Diabetes have a malfunction in their pancreas that is considered permanent. They are unable to produce the insulin necessary to get the sugar out of the blood stream and into the cells. These people require an outside source of insulin in order to survive. They comprise less than 0.2 percent of the population. A problem that is more

prevalent ( two percent or more of the population) is Type II Diabetes, which is excess sugar in the blood stream caused from exhaustion of an overworked pancreas rather than by a non-repairable problem. Another cause of Type II diabetes is insulin resistance - the cells rebel against the constant onslaught of insulin over many years and “change the locks” so that insulin no longer provides access for the incoming sugar (fuel). The result is the same - too much sugar in the blood stream. Type II diabetes is usually correctable. A commonly seen scenario is that a person regularly eats a lot of sugar (I’m referring to candy and the like – stuff with “table sugar” in it). This sugar is sometimes referred to as “simple” carbohydrates because there’s nothing with it, just pure sugar (carbohydrates). Then, the pancreas works overtime to put out lots of insulin in order to get the sugar transferred into the cells. When the pancreas

puts this much insulin into the bloodstream it quickly pulls all the sugar out and leaves you “empty.” There is then no fuel available to feed your cells. This is called hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). It is considered “pre-diabetes.” After many years of overworking, the pancreas may simply give out and be unable to produce the insulin necessary to process the sugar coming into the body. Now we’re back to the first definition of diabetes: sugar without insulin to deliver it. The problems of diabetes are many and varied. In extreme cases you can go into a coma. You can develop hardening of the arteries easily. You can develop high blood pressure, cataracts, foot ulcers, nerve damage and kidney failure among other things. Some of the first signs of diabetes are increased urination, increased drinking and increased eating. Simple blood tests are available to detect a tendency towards diabetes. In addition, the cure for Type II Diabetes is relatively simple (on paper). Just start eating complex sugars, also known as “complex” carbohydrates (those packaged in fiber – like vegetables) and completely avoid the simple sugars of colas and candy. Supplements like chromium can help your insulin to do its job. It may take a year or two to retrain your pancreas, but it’s worth the effort to avoid some major health problems in the future. If medications are chosen to assist sugar management during this process, it is important to determine the cause of the diabetes first. An insulin test will help distinguish between insulin depletion and insulin resistance.

four and I am not. It is so nice to be able to get in, press a button and have the seat and mirrors glide into just the right spots for me to zoom away. And the visibility

in the Sorento is great all the way around. Even though the EX model comes standard with the rear-view camera, I appreciate a clear view in all directions as I back out of parking spaces and check the lanes next to me when driving. When I had a bunch of stuff

to haul I was pleased at how easily the seats folded flat to accommodate. Spending a week with the Sorento was like having one of those multi-tools right when I needed it. Except this is a multi-tool with a great sound system and excellent timing. And I am sure Tom Petty

would agree. Clifford and Mary Fewel offer unique driving impressions with their He Says/She Says columns in Copper Area News publications, and join forces each quarter with a dialogue about cars, trucks and life in Pinal Ways magazine.
