Douglas School Sisters of Notre Dame Host International SHAloM RepresentativesBy AALIyAh MOntOyAFor the Douglas Dispatch

The local School Sis-ters of Notre Dame ( S S N D ) s p ent O c t . 18-22 in southern Ari-zona, leading a “life at the border and im-mersion experience” wher e t hey ho st e d eight i nter nationa l SSND SHALOM repre-sentatives.

S H A L O M , e s t a b -l i s h e d i n 1 9 9 2 b y SSN D, is “an inter-national network for justice, peace, and in-tegrity of creation”. Members take the op-portunity to explore current social justice concerns, while work-ing with prayer and r e f le c t ion t owa r d s spreading awareness.

The SHALOM North America Coordinators c a me f r om M i n ne -sota, Wisconsin, New York, Missouri, Can-ada, and Italy to hold their annual meeting in Douglas.

The representatives were taken along both sides of the US/Mex-ico border, Douglas, and Agua Prieta, as well as the San Xavier Mission in T ucson. W h i l e t h e r e , t h e y were informed about present issues at the border, and how they have affected the com-munity. After several

days of meeting with com mu nit y leaders a nd le a r ni ng more about the border and migrants, representa-tives spent Tuesday, the 21st, exploring mi-grant trails in Mexico and visiting the bor-der wall for prayer.

The day ended with a “Healing Our Bor-der Vigil”, a weekly vigil that recognizes migrant bodies found in Cochise County.

Held ever y T ue s -day for the public, the vigil meets at 5:15 p.m. near McDonald’s on Pan A merican Ave. beginning with a mo-ment of silence. The members then walk down Pan American, raising l it t le white c r o s s e s w i t h t h e names of more than 260 bodies found in the county. Each name and cross was pro -jected and then placed along the sidewalk, creating a line that nea rly reached t he Port of Entry.

“Our mission with other people is to work towards unity,” said Sister Christine Gar-cia , Doug l as SSN D said. “This is a tan-gible way of trying to show that a wall does not sepa rate u s as human beings.”

For those involved in the vigil, and those who passed by to wit-ness, it did just that.

The representatives, spent their last days i n D ou g l a s coordi -nating their annual p l a n n i n g m e e t i n g and reflection.

L u c y Ni g h , Ju dy Bourg, and Christine Garcia all of the Sis-ters of Notre Dame in Douglas have spent t he last f ive yea rs here, dedicating their work to volu nte er -ing and col laborat-ing with others in the community; bringing awa reness to t hese

c o mpl e x i s s u e s at the border.

Their hopes are to one day eliminate so-cial injustices, both l o c a l l y a n d g l o b -a l ly, whi le spre ad-i n g p e ac e, ju st ic e ,

Douglas CBP officers seize marijuana load, weaponsIt was a busy week for Cus-

toms and Border Protection of-ficers assigned to the Douglas Port of Entry.

On Saturday, Oct. 18 a local woman was arrested following an unsuccessful smuggling at-tempt of marijuana.

Juliana Yamilet Campas, 22, was arrested for attempting to smuggle more than 276 pounds of marijuana through the Douglas Port.

CBP of ficers selected her Volkswagen sedan for a more thorough search and found 185 packages of marijuana worth an estimated $138,000, concealed throughout the vehicle.

Officers seized the vehicle and marijuana and referred Campas

to U.S. Immigration and Cus-toms Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations.

On Oct. 20 several firearms and thousands of rounds of am-munition headed for Mexico were seized by Customs and Border Protection officers.

CBP officers conducting rou-tine outbound operations re-ferred a 22-year-old Nogales, Arizona man for further inspec-tion of his pickup truck. During the inspection, officials found more than 2,000 rounds of am-munition, five Colt M-4 rifles, one Bushmaster M-4 rifle, one 9 mm Beretta pistol, and seven ammunition magazines.

Officers ran record queries on the firearms and found the Bushmaster was reported stolen out of Carter County, Tennessee.

Officers seized all the items and handed the man over to U.S. Immigration and Cus-toms Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations for further investigation.

Multiple weap-ons were seized Oct. 20 along with ammunition and ammo car-tridges by cBP officers assigned to the Port of Douglas.photos courtesy department

Dear Savvy Senior, I had dental insurance through my work for many years but lost it when I retired. Where can retirees find affordable dental care? Need a Dentist

Dear Need, Finding affordable dental care can be challenging for seniors living on a tight budget. Most re-tirees lose their dental insurance after leaving the workplace, and original Medicare does not cover cleaning, fillings or dentures. While there’s no one solution to affordable dental care there are a number of options that can help cut your costs. Here’s where to look. Medicare Advantage While original Medicare (Part A and B) and Medicare supplemental policies do not cover routine den-tal care, there are some Medicare Advantage (Part C) plans that do. Many of these plans, which are sold through private insurance companies, cover dental care along with eye care, hearing and prescription drugs, in addition to all of your hospital and medical insurance. If you’re eligible for Medicare, see medicare.gov/find-a-plan to look for Advantage plans in your area that covers dental care. Dental Discounts Another way you can reduce your dental care expenses is to join a dental discount network. How this works is you pay an an-nual membership fee – around $80 to $200 a year – in exchange for 10 to 60 percent discounts on service and treatments from participating dentists. To find a network, go to DentalPlans.com (or 888-632-5353) where you can search for plans

and participating dentists by zip code, as well as get a breakdown of the discounts offered. Another option that’s currently available only in the southern Cal-ifornia area is Brighter.com. They provide users free access to a net-work of dentists offering up to 50 percent discounts on all services.Dental Schools Dental school clinics offer sav-ings opportunities too. All 65 ac-credited dental schools in the U.S. offer affordable care provided by dental students who are overseen by their professors. You can ex-pect to pay about half of what a traditional dentist would charge and still receive excellent, well-supervised care. Another option is to check with local colleges that offer dental hygiene programs. For training purposes, many programs provide teeth cleanings by their students for a fraction of what you’d pay at a dentist’s office. To search for nearby dental schools or dental hygiene pro-grams visit ada.org/dentalschools.Veterans Benefits If you’re a veteran enrolled in the VA health care program, or are a beneficiary of the Civilian Health and Medical Program (CHAMPVA), the VA is now offer-ing a dental insurance program that gives you the option to buy dental insurance through Delta Dental and MetLife at a reduced cost.

The VA also provides free den-tal care to vets who have dental problems resulting from service. To learn more about these options, visit va.gov/dental or call 877-222-8387.Low Income Options If you’re low income, there are various programs and clinics that provide dental care at a reduced rate or for free. To look for options in your area contact your state dental director (see astdd.org), or your state or local dental society (ebusiness.ada.org/mystate.aspx).

You may also be able to get dis-counted or free dental care at one of the federally funded HRSA health centers (findahealthcenter.hrsa.gov, 877-464-4772), or at a privately funded free clinic (nafc-clinics.org). Also check with the Dental Lifeline Network (dentallifeline.org, 888-471-6334) which provides free dental care for low-income elderly and disabled; Remote Area Medical (ramusa.org) which offers free health, eye and dental care to people in select locations; and Indian Health Service (ihs.gov), which provides free dental care to American Indians and Alaska Na-tives who are members of a feder-ally recognized Indian tribe. Also see toothwisdom.org, a website created by Oral Health America that will help you locate low-cost dental care. SEND YOUR SENIOR QUESTIONS TO:Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC Today show and author of “The Savvy Senior” book.

DEAR DOCTOR K: I have frequent back pain. I usually take acetaminophen (the Tylenol brand), but I hear it may not be effective for back pain. Is there anything to that?

DEAR READER: If you’d asked me that question even a year ago, I would have said, “Acetaminophen works fine for most people.” Lots of people are bothered by back pain. When it strikes, all you want is relief — and fast. Many folks turn to over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or NSAIDs (ibuprofen, naproxen and aspirin).

Most doctors I know would have shared my impression that acetaminophen works for back pain. I respect the opinions of seasoned doctors, but I also know that there is no substitute for actually studying a question. Indeed, a recent study has challenged my long-standing assumption about the value of acetaminophen for back pain.

Researchers wanted to know if acetaminophen shortened the time from the start of acute back pain (back pain that comes on suddenly) to complete relief. What they found was surprising.

For people who used

acetaminophen only when their back pain bothered them, it took about 17 days to get complete relief. For those who took the medication three times a day, it also took about 17 days for full relief. And for those who took a placebo — a sugar pill with no medicine at all — the time to recovery was 16 days. In other words, the medication made no difference in how fast back pain went away and stayed away. In addition, all three groups had similar experiences in terms of the severity of their pain, disability and function.

Does this mean that you shouldn’t bother to use acetaminophen for back pain? Not necessarily. Randomized studies like this can tell you the reaction of the average person in the study. But people are all different. It may be that some people really do get good relief from acetaminophen, even if the average person doesn’t. So if it works for you, stick with it.

But acetaminophen does have its own risks and side effects. Taking too much acetaminophen can seriously damage the liver. Ideally, the average healthy adult shouldn’t take more than 3,000 milligrams a day.

The safest option is to try to get through the worst of your back pain without medication:

• Use cold compresses or an ice pack, not heat, immediately after an injury. About 48 hours after back pain hits, heat may be more helpful. The warmth soothes and relaxes aching muscles.

• Try to keep moving. A limited amount of activity is better than lying in bed. Ask your doctor about appropriate exercises to start sooner rather than later. Exercise therapy can help heal acute back pain and help prevent a repeat episode.

• Chiropractic manipulation, acupuncture, massage or yoga provide relief for some people with acute back pain. Several studies support using these alternative/complementary therapies.

Many people can relieve their back pain with these simple measures. If they don’t provide complete relief, then non-prescription NSAID medicines often will do the trick.

This is the year for you to be more assertive. Discipline and sticking to a strict regimen will help you reach your goals. Most impor-tantly, it’s necessary to make sure that others know you mean business. You will make great progress if you are firm, decisive and proac-tive. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Friends and relatives will question what you are trying to accomplish. Your impulsive na-ture and effervescent disposition will attract attention and bring about a personal chal-lenge. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) It’s vital that you keep meticulous records of your personal expenditures and assets. You work hard, but money has a way of slipping through your fingers if you become too com-placent. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You will have to decide whether a romantic relationship has become too one-sided. If you do not share the same depth of feeling, a seri-ous discussion is in order. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Trust your intuition if something doesn’t feel right, and make the necessary alterations. Use discretion, and refrain from being too forthcoming with your opinions to avoid being put in a vulnerable position. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) An unusual creative project will get you heading in a new direction. Not only will you make new acquaintances, but you will also discover abilities and skills you didn’t know you had. ARIES (March 21-April 19) Find a quiet corner where you can reflect on your personal life and explore your emo-tions. Soul-searching will give you a better understanding of your motivations, needs and wants. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Let your charm lead the way. New friend-ships will develop if you mingle. Attend events that bring you into contact with those who share your favorite pastimes. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Read the fine print. Make sure you under-stand what’s included and what isn’t. It’s up to you to be diligent and to ask questions before you sign on the dotted line. CANCER (June 21-July 22) You may be feeling anxious or temperamen-tal. You won’t be helping anyone if you fly off the handle. Keep your opinions to yourself for now. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Things will improve if you work alone. You will accomplish more without distractions or interruptions and if you eliminate jobs that have been put on hold for too long. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Take advantage of your high energy and clear thinking so you will be able to accom-plish your goals and open up time to do things you enjoy. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) You will face ups and downs regarding fam-ily matters. Listen to complaints and work to rectify the problems that exist before they have a chance to escalate. It’s essential to co-operate.

Turkey Trot hamburger fry a big successBy Bruce WhettenDouglas Dispatch

The Douglas Turkey Trot hamburger fry which was held Oct. 11 at Border Mart was a big success bringing in an estimated $5,000.

E v e n t o r g a n i z e r Linda Gomez said “it takes a village to plan and organize a suc-cessful fundraiser and on Saturday, Oct. 11, that’s what happened.”

The event was spon-sored by the Douglas High School P TSO, DECA, Athletics and skills USA with pub-licity provided by the Douglas Dispatch and KDAP Radio.

G o m e z s a i d t h e first round of cooks were Ken C or mier, Raul Montano, Mike Ortega, Mayor Danny Ortega, Carlos De La Tor r e , O s c a r M a r -i sc a l , Jose M a nuel Perez Cantu, Chub -by F lor e s a nd D r. Ed Gomez.

“Our local Border Mart, Wal-Mart, Mi R a n c h it o , D ou g l a s Meat Market and Fo-gatas went above and beyond with generos-ity,” she said. “Olga Salazar worked tire-lessly along with the Jennifer Cormier fam-ily, Pat Ortega, Lisa Watkins, Nicole and Paige Mariscal and the Hoyack family.”

G omez adde d M r. Q u i n o n e z a n d h i s staff at DHS were also very helpful.

The Knights of Co-lumbus held a 50/50 ra f f le which Nicole M a r i s c a l wo n a n d donated back to the Turkey Trot.

All the profits from t he h a mbu rger f r y were donated to the D ou g l a s Ru n / Wa l k for the Cure, a local organization that pro-vides aide to Douglas residents diagnosed with cancer.

The big event itself, the Turkey Trot, is

scheduled for Nov. 27 at AirportPark. Par-t icipation for ms as well as sponsorship forms are avai lable online at www.doug-lasturkeytrot.org.

Bisbee artist adds touch to Pediatric waiting roomBy Bruce WhettenDouglas Dispatch

One of the waiting rooms at the Chirica-hua Pediatric Cen-ter on 15th Street has taken on a new look thanks to the efforts of a Bisbee artist.

Pete Goldlust, the art-ist from Bisbee, was recognized last week by the hospital staff for his work in making the waiting room a little friendlier place to wait.

Dr. Darlene Melk and her staff honored Gold-lust with a plaque that will hang in the room where his art work is now on display.

According to Gold-lust the art display was commissioned with as-sistance from the Ari-zona Commission on the Arts.

“They provided two grants,” he said. “This was a collaboration between t he Pedi-atricCenter and the Arts for Border Chil-dren which is a local art organization.”

The installation, con-structed of recycled plastic wear, is called Polyjellies. They all hover over head in the waiting room.

“It’s a great big group of imaginary creatures or futuristic space ships or micro organ-isms,” he said. “It’s up to the viewer to decide what they are.”

Goldlust said he’s hoping this will help create a sense of play and wonder for the kids that are coming in to the pediatric center.

He said the proj-ect took about six months to complete followed by two days

of installation.Goldlust has two

young boys he’s been taking to the pediatric center since it opened.

“I can’t tell you how much it means to me and my wife to have this level of care,” he said. “We come down from Bisbee to have our kids seen here be-cause they do great work.”Jill Japlan, a friend of the Pedi-atricCenter, said the building is one of two green buildings in southern Arizona.

“The instal lation is from recycled blue jeans,” she said.

Goldlust has shown his work in venues throughout the U.S. including solo exhibi-tions in Chicago and Los Angeles.

His work has been featured in publica-tions ranging from Art in America to Ripley’s Believe it or Not and from Elle Belguim to Raising Arizona Kids.

Pete’s public art-work in Arizona in-cludes commissions for Tempe, Tucson and Scottsdale, the Children’s Museum of Phoenix and now the Chiricahua Pediatric Center in Douglas.

part the budget is M&O money and the biggest part of that is for personnel salaries and benefits. The budget has to be approached by thinking of what is best for the students and personnel.

Mary Morris Bond: Obviously, we cannot keep doing what we have been doing because that has resulted in a deficit and higher property taxes. We need to go over the budget line by line. There are numerous grants available to districts such as ours and we should pursue these resources more aggressively.

Mitch Lindemann: I believe my eight years of experience serving as the Chairman of the City of Douglas’ Finance Committee and as Councilman for Ward 2 working with and understanding a budget that is larger than the school district’s gives me a unique and strong perspective on the budgeting process. The Board should hold work/study sessions during the budgeting process to ensure that the taxpayers’ money is well spent benefiting the student’s education and providing full transparency; annually review the effectiveness of schools and programs in terms of student achievement and fully fund the classrooms!

Mario Ramos: Douglas Unified School District works with approximately $17,000,000.00 dollars in its budget. Although the Federal and State have made several cuts, it is still possible to for the District to make adjustments in some areas. Insuring that student recourses and faculty salaries are just and adequate. We must cut unnecessary spending and siphon these money to the students and teachers without placing any more tax burden on our stake holders. Our number one goal should be the highest quality education for our children, everything else secondary.

2. Preparing students for America’s jobs of the future is a national priority. What would you do in this district to increase and improve student access to computers and other classroom technology?

Dr. Ed Gomez: The district is very involved with IT for the pupils and teachers of DUSD. A special election was discussed to get money for five years to upgrade hardware and to purchase computers for the students and teachers. The voters seemed to be against that proposition therefore the district must upgrade as best it can.

Mary Morris Bond: As a former Career and Technical Education teacher, the objective has always been to provide students with the necessary skills for college and career readiness. I would promote using Career and Technical Education money that is available for technology and applying for E-Rate funds and every Grant opportunity that presents itself. There are dollars available specifically for S.T.E.M.(Science, Technology, Engineering and Math).

Mitch Lindemann: I would look at re-allocating budget expenditures to improve computer access in the classroom. I would urge the board to investigate potential partnerships with other school districts, corporations, the County Superintendents Office, the Arizona School Boards Association, other State and Federal agencies as well as private foundations and entities for grant opportunities to provide more hardware and better access to computers and other classroom technologies. As Chairman of the Finance Committee we funded infrastructure improvements and major purchases for the benefit of the City without raising taxes!

Mario Ramos: The District is not behind in technology compared to other district, but there is always room for advancements. There are

grants available for such needs, we just need to continue searching and applying for them. This is one of the reasons you need qualified personnel in the district, to be on top of these matters. We must remembers, computers and technology alone won’t prepare a student for the future, Teachers and parents do.

3. What changes do you feel need to be made in the District?

Dr. Ed Gomez: The district needs to give personnel a raise. The district needs to improve IT. The administration needs to improve the letter grades to all schools. The question is how to accomplish this with the districts limited resources.

Mary Morris Bond: Redirect more money toward classroom teachers and classified personnel. Recognize the importance of class size. Currently, we have too many classrooms with full-time substitutes rather than a highly qualified teacher. We need to change that.

Mitch Lindemann: I believe in free and open communication between all parties and providing transparency at all levels. I encourage all employees and parents to directly communicate to their elected officials providing unfiltered information and concerns. I will work to ensure that all employees are treated fairly with respect and include a ‘Call to the Public’ at all School Board meetings including ‘Special’ meetings. As a Councilman I was available to any Douglas resident whether they were a member of my Ward or not, I always tried to meet their needs and concerns. I will do the same on the DUSD Board!

Mario Ramos: Focusing on insuring a high standard of education and not be distracted

by petty and insignificant issue. Recruiting highly qualified teachers and doing what is needed to retain them so they won’t want to leave Douglas. Not just because of inadequate pay, but selfish vindictive turmoil within the District. We as a community must set an example for these new out of town or state teachers coming to Douglas.

4. Why should I vote for you?Dr. Ed Gomez: A board member

serves at the will of the district voters. If the voters think I have done a good job as a board member the last four years then they should vote for me.

Mary Morris Bond: I am a person who does my homework. As an example, I have been attending school board meetings for over a year. I will listen, ask questions and base my decisions on what is best for the students. I have no personal agenda. I believe that Douglas Unified School District can be better and I am willing to offer my experience and knowledge to make it happen.

Mitch Lindemann: I have a long history of service to our Community. I served as a member, Vice Chairman and Chairman of the Douglas Planning and Zoning Commission from 1994 to 2005; as Councilman for Ward 2 from 2006 to 2014; as Finance Committee Chairman from 2006 to 2014; as Mayor Pro Tempore (Vice Mayor) from 2010 to 2014 and as Douglas’ representative to the Southeast Arizona Government Organization (SEAGO). I wish to continue my service to our community and will do so to the best of my ability!

Mario Ramos: I have four years of experience as board member and ASBA training. I will keep our students as the number one priority. I will work with the

other board members to reach the goals set for the district, and will do anything needed to accomplish them. I am not seeking the position for personal gains or fulfillments, only serve my community and children.

5: What experience do you have in education that you feel would make you a good board member?

Dr. Ed Gomez: A good board member is interested in education and cares for the children of the district. A good board member is one that wants to learn all aspects of education and will take the time to attend Arizona School Board Association Meetings to learn these skills. A board member does not need experience in education, as that would exclude a majority of the people that might be interested in the position of board member.

Mary Morris Bond: I was a student and athlete in Douglas Public Schools. I have been a teacher and athletic coach in Douglas Public Schools and I have been a teacher and athletic coach in the Mesa School District. I have 37 years of experience in education. Included in these years is experience as department head, club sponsor, writing curriculum, participating in professional development, and serving on numerous committees addressing issues in education.

Mitch Lindemann: Besides being a career Educator with thirty years of experience I have a Master’s Degree in Elementary Education and a Master’s Degree in Education Administration. I have also completed the Superintendent’s Internship and have State of Arizona Certification in English as a Second Language (ESL) and Structured English Immersion (SEI) as well as Administration.

Mario Ramos: My four years of ASBA and Academy of Boardmanship training, but most of all common sense in making decisions. I will take the position seriously and give it my best effort.

6: How do you feel and how would you fix the negativity the District has been but in?

Dr. Ed Gomez: I was elected to the board during a period of turmoil. I believe my first two years were very calm and productive. The turmoil the district is currently going through is being caused by a very small number of district citizens with a very narrow agenda.

Mary Morris Bond: Every employee has to be valued for the job they do and for the person they are. All employees of the District need to become a united team that is working to accomplish the same goal. That goal should be to provide the best possible education for the students in the district. When you have success, there is no need for negativity.

Mitch Lindemann: I believe the School Board must demonstrate that it is working to improve our schools by increasing communication, monitoring student achievement and accepting accountability. I will work to increase Parent participation and to listen to Parents and students, to listen to the teachers and professionals working in the trenches, to listen to the employees and staff. I will work to provide the Leadership for a better school district. As the National school Boards Association’s guidebook states: Excellence in the classroom begins with Excellence in the Board room! As a team we will succeed!

Mario Ramos: Being a board member of a school district doesn’t mean you micro mange. Your job is to insure administration is doing what is needed to run the district correctly. I dislike agenda items that are personal and disruptive with little bearing in education. As a board member you need to work with administration and change what needs to be changed for the betterment of the district, not your self-satisfaction.

’Dogs fall to Sabino on Senior NightBy Bruce WhettenDouglas Dispatch

With their season winding down and playing for nothing more than pride the Douglas Bulldogs had the challeng-ing task of hosting a Sabino team Friday night that had outscore their opponents 302-0 during its current five game winning streak.

It was Senior’s night for the Bulldogs who were playing their final home game. The goal going into the game was to shoot for an upset and if they could not get the upset to at least score snapping Sabino’s scoreless streak.

Late in the fourth quarter and down 49-0 with the mercy clock already running the Bull-dogs did score against Sabino’s first string defense in what would be a 56-7 loss for the Dogs in their final home game.,

Sabino was just as good as advertised. After holding Doug-las to a three and out and its first possession the Sabercats needed just one play on its first possession to score. A penalty nullified that score however and the Cats had to try it again. Three plays later they were back in the endzone taking a 7-0 lead 45 seconds after getting the ball from Douglas.

The next series the Bulldogs

had the ball for five plays be-fore punting it back to Sabino. The Sabercats drove down to the two before fumbling the ball back to the Bulldogs.

Douglas moved from its own 2 yard line out to the 18 before a penalty pushed them back to the 8 where they would end up punting the ball back to Sabino.

One play later Sabino was back in the end zone. They scored again on their next pos-session and with 1.1 seconds left in the quarter and facing a first and goal at the 8 they scored again taking a 28-0 lead at the end of the first quarter.

Midway through the second quarter Sabino had a 42-0 lead which meant a running clock was in effect.

The rest of the half moved quickly and Sabino carried that 42 point lead into the lock-er room at halftime. Douglas also lost three key players in the first half to injury. None of them would return.

At halftime Bulldog coach Riki Valdez honored his 20 se-niors plus two senior manag-ers. In return the players and managers presented him with a signed banner.

Sabino came out in the sec-ond half and scored again tak-ing a 49-0 lead.

In the fourth quarter the Bulldogs moved inside the Sa-bino 30 for the first time in the

game. They kept inching clos-er and closer to the goal line. Once they got inside the 10 the Sabino defense seemed to get nervous. On a third and goal from the 5 quarterback Blaze Rose hit Miguel Vasquez for a touchdown. Rose then booted the extra point cutting the Sa-bercats lead to 49-7.

The ensuing kickoff was sup-posed to go out of bounds but instead wound up in the arms of a Sabino player who ran 92 yards for a score giving Sabino a 56-7 lead.

The Sabercats won last years game in Tucson 69-0.

St ats for t he ga me had Douglas with just 88 yards in total offense.

Rose was 10 of 31 in passing for 74 yards and a touchdown.

Fernando Chacon had two re-ceptions for 19 yards; Carlos Es-trada one for 20;

Vasquez three for 11 and a TD; Alexis Selig two for 16 and Jesus Cisneros one for eight.

Douglas had just 14 yards on the ground as Fernando Mi-randa had three carries for six yards; Vasquez two for 15 and Rose 10 for minus seven.

Douglas, 2-7, closes out its sea-son this Friday at Empire who narrowly beat Catalina 28-20 this past Friday night.

On Thursday the Douglas freshmen fell to Sabino 20-6. There was no JV game.

The ACT Call Center on 10th Street is inviting the public to attend their haunted house this Friday from 5-8 p.m.

Admission is a nonperish-able food item or a toy for the food and toy drive the ACT Call Center will be having in the coming months.

Shannon Gundlach, the Opera-tions Manager at ACT said com-munity members will be allowed inside through the east side of the building.

“As the children come through

the hall way they will be able to stop and trick or treat at a station then they will be able to go into the Haunted House,” she said. “Expect the unexpected. I’ve heard we’re going to have a crazy doctor show up. They can expect many chills and thrills.”

The ACT Call Center had a similar event in 2012. It was well received.

Gundlach said ACT is doing this as a way to stay connected with the community.

“We invite the public to stop by and visit our Haunted House,” she said.
