Special programs, a video about the history of the area, and activities are continuing this summer at the Tubac Presidio State Historic Park. And visitors will notice the newly-painted exterior of the visitors’ center and 1885 Schoolhouse, along with a freshly-landscaped park entry, said Shaw Kinsley, park manager.During May, the park will host a party to celebrate its second anniversary under the operation of the Tubac Historical Society and a large group of enthusiastic volunteers. It’s planned for Saturday, May 12, from 5 to 7 p.m. and will off er a reception with wine, appetizers, live music and period costumes.Kinsley said that for this event, several artifacts rarely viewed by the public will be brought from the museum’s storage. Tickets are $35 and benefi t the presidio. For reservations, call (520) 398-2252.As part of the anniversary, the park will show a video daily at 2 p.m. during May. Th e colorful 20-minute documentary which premiered in 2011 and features 90 local actors is about the historic Juan Bautista de Anza Expedition of 1775-76 which departed for California from Tubac, opening a new route to what became San Francisco. Th ose who want to view vintage photographs from Ambos Nogales or are intrigued by the “Gunpowder Press” exhibit which displays printing equipment should be sure to stop in soon. Th e exhibit ends June 30, but until then is open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.Th e Festival Kino, celebrated in Sonora, Mexico, for years, branches out this year and additional activities will be held at the Tubac Presidio Park. Th e park is collaborating with Instituto Sonorense de Cultura of Hermosillo, Kinsley said, during the week of May 16-20, with special speakers and events.If you’re looking for schedules, or for information to pass on to visitors to the area, the updated web site is a great option. Th e site is at www.tubacpresidiopark.com and was modernized by a Rio Rico volunteer, Vicki Fisher.It points out that the Tubac facility is “the largest and best preserved Spanish Colonial Presidio in the world.”Other regularly scheduled activities include Frontier Printing Press demonstrations on May 3, May 10, June 16, June 30, July 14 and July 26. Th e Fiber Fridays when individuals come together to focus on knitting, crocheting, spinning or quilting are held on the last Friday of each month from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.Th e park will be open on Memorial Day, Monday, May 28. Th e park admission fee is slated to rise June 1, Kinsley said, increasing from $4 to $5 per adult. Th e children’s (ages 7-13) entry fee of $2 remains the same while children 6 and under are admitted free.
Independence Day funTh e Tubac Presidio State Historic Park has in recent years hosted a delightful family-centered Fourth of July and the tradition continues this year. Th ere are expected to be games for children, hot dogs and watermelons, and free admission to the park during the event.
Th e program runs from 10 a.m. to noon, and at 11:30 a.m., the Tubac Fire Department is scheduled to provide its annual “squirt down” with a fi re hose, sprinkling the children.Groups expected to participate to provide games include the presidio park, the Tubac Historical Society, the Tubac Chamber of Commerce, the Tubac Community Center Foundation, the Anza Trail Coalition, the Tubac Rotary Club, the Tubac Center of the Arts, the Santa Cruz Valley Citizens Council, St. Ann’s Church, Th e Church at Tubac, and Global Community Communications Alliance.
Recently completed projectsKinsley complimented the improvements provided by park volunteers. For example, he said, Tubac resident Judy McNally urged that the entry area be landscaped more attractively and so she held a fundraising cocktail party at her house.George and Irene Perkow of Tubac volunteered to design the three separate spaces to be landscaped in xeriscape, or low-water-use designs, including cactus, raised mounds of dirt and trees in specifi c spots to provide shade.Volunteers with the Anza Trail Coalition including John Cloninger, Patty Hilpert and Glenn Vierra used the coalition’s trail maintenance equipment such as gators and small tractors to complete the landscape project.Th e repainting of the building housing the visitors’ center and 1885 Schoolhouse fi rst required that cracks in the stucco be patched in a historically correct manner using lime plaster. Training in that was provided and Ramon Estrada Jr. did the work, supervised by David Yubeta. Th e painting was done by volunteers Rich Barnes and Donald Moore.Th e Otero Hall in the park will be repainted this summer with two coats of whitewash. Historic preservation training for that will be provided to volunteers by specialists at the Tumacácori National Historical Park under the direction of Jeremy Moss. Kinsley said anyone interested can call him to learn when the project will start.Other summer activities that make use of volunteers
include clipping newspaper articles that have a connection to the park or to Tubac history and fi ling them in the Tubac Historical Society library; and managing a grant-funded project to transfer oral histories done in the past from cassette tapes onto a digital format.

At The Tubac Center of the Arts

What do the state of Arizona and Trudi Fletcher have in common? They are both celebrating their centennial year in 2012.
During the month of May, Tubac Center of the Arts is privileged to feature wonderful paintings of current works by Trudi Fletcher. Trudi has been a well-known artist, gallery owner and resident of Tubac for over 40 years.
Trudi Fletcher first visited Tubac in 1949 when Dale Nichol’s art school was running. Trudi never forgot Tubac and eventually, she and her husband Albert settled in Tubac in 1967 where she opened the Dos Hermanas Gallery with her sister, Kay Davis. Dos Hermanos Gallery, which Trudi operated until age 87, was a fixture in the village of Tubac where her distinctive style of watercolors, oils, silk-screens and batiks were shown.
“At 99 years of age, the year 2011, a strong creative excitement came over me. I didn’t want to paint landscapes or still life’s, so I was painting shapes and colors. I began to see people, animals and exotic birds emerging from my paintings,” said Trudi.
Three generations of Trudi's family members were at the TCA for a very special party on Saturday, May 5th, for an opening reception for the exhibition featuring over a dozen of Trudi's 2011 series of paintings known as “The 98’s”, her age during the year she painted them. In this year of Arizona's centennial, join us to celebrate Trudi's centennial year also.

WaTer sTorage Tanks expensive
The price tag could be $1 million to $1.5 million to construct a water storage tank for fire-fighting capability, community members heard at the April 16 meeting of the Santa Cruz Valley Citizens Council.
Council President Rich Bohman spoke about his communication with the president of Epcor Water, Joe Gysel, and with Ian Crooks, Epcor’s director of engineering.
The cost, which might have to be borne by the 550 or so customers of the water company in Tubac, was for a tank with a capacity of 280,000 gallons, Bohman said. It would also include booster pumps and a new main, and require boring a tunnel under Interstate 19.
Even so, he said “a lot of subdivisions would be unserved” because many of the current water main lines are four-inches in diameter, too small for increased water flow.
Bohman said, “It doesn’t look like a water storage facility is on the near-term horizon.”
Tubac Fire Chief Kevin Keeley then spoke and said that the department’s trucks have adequate water capacity.
Keeley said the department has four “front line engines and three tenders” with a total capacity of 10,000 gallons to fight fires.
He pointed out that anyone living in the Barrio de Tubac, served by Baca Float Water Co., has the recommended amount of water supplied through hydrants for firefighting purposes.
As well, there is a mutual aid agreement in which the Green Valley Fire District and the Rio Rico Fire District will respond when called to assist.
chamber in neW locaTion
The Tubac Chamber of Commerce recently moved to a new location in the center of the village located at 12B Tubac Road. Previously
the employees worked from an office at the Tubac Community Center.
Open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., the office is staffed by Executive Director Angela Kirkner and Barbara Hahn, administrative assistant.
Chamber board President Mindy Maddock said, “In order to best meet our mission of promoting the galleries, restaurants and businesses of Tubac to our visitors, we needed to be in the village itself.”
Other board officers include Patti Todd, vice president, Jane Lowder, treasurer, and Mesia Hachadorian, secretary. Board members are Garry Hembree, Jacque Brasher, Ellen Carpenter, April Drake, Angel Fernandez, Debbie Barrios, Kelly Jones and Arlene Miller.

decreased in the current school year by 133 students which meant a $440,040 loss of revenue from the state aid.
As a result, 10 teaching positions were cut during a governing board vote at an April 10 meeting. The change takes effect with the new budget year that starts July 1.
Of those, one teacher did not receive a contract renewal and the other nine positions were expected to be vacant due to reasons including teachers moving away or retirement, said district spokeswoman Carol Cullen.
Enrollment is about 3,325 at the six schools; Rio Rico High School, Coatimundi Middle School, Calabasas Middle School, Mountain View Elementary, San Cayetano Elementary and Pena Blanca Elementary.
Other job changes required to balance the budget, Cullen said, include dropping three bus driver positions, cutting one security guard, reclassifying a grants position from director to
coordinator, and eliminating one library aide at Rio Rico High School.
As well, the high school has had two assistant principals and next year it will have one assistant principal and one dean of students, for a cost savings of $20,000.
Cullen said the district will incur a $266,542 increase in costs next year. These include: 2.3% increase in medical insurance ($69,572); one time salary adjustment to all certified and classified employees, equal to one step
increase ($180,652); one time salary adjustment to all administrators, equal to teachers’ highest step: $775 ($12,912); one time cost of living adjustment to eight employees at the end of the salary schedule with no step potential ($3,406).
high school graduaTion seT
Rio Rico High School will hold its graduation ceremony on Wednesday, May 23, at 7 p.m.
The school, which educates students from Amado, Tubac, Tumacacori and Rio Rico, anticipates that approximately 230 seniors will graduate this month.
The guest speaker is John Fanning, principal at Coatimundi Middle School in Rio Rico. He’s held that post since 2008 and before that he was principal at Calabasas Middle School in Rio Rico from 2006-2008. He holds a master’s degree in educational leadership from Northern Arizona University.
The top five percent of seniors in the graduating class at Rio Rico High School were honored at an “Excellence in Education” recognition banquet held April 30. The students received plaques. As well, each chose a teacher who had made a lasting impression and the teachers were also honored. From left are seniors Lauren Badertscher, Michelle Bland, Edgar Sawada, Cesar Manjarrez, Jr., Daniela Gonzalez, Iliana Rosas, Luis Ursua, Sarah Maudlin, Andres Lake, Gilbert Hays, Joy Noriega and Elizabeth Parker.

i-19 sign replacemenT
As part of a statewide eff ort, the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) is replacing more than 2,000 outdated highways signs with brighter, larger and more legible ones that are easier to understand at freeway speeds along Interstate 19 between Tucson and Nogales.
Th e federally-funded $1.6 million project was expected to start in May and be completed by the end of the year, a spokeswoman said. Th e project will not aff ect signage announcing distances to exits, including kilometer measurements.
ADOT will replace regulatory, warning, speed limit and some guidance signs, which include hospital signage and signs with road names containing directional arrows, in the area. Th e corridor’s traffi c interchange signs are also included in the project, along with sign poles and foundations that meet new standards.
Th e existing I-19 signs are wearing out due to age and sun damage and need to be replaced so that they comply with current highway standards, the spokeswoman said.
animal commission meeTs may 17
Th e next meeting of the Santa Cruz County Animal Care and Control Advisory Commission is scheduled for Th ursday, May 17 at 9 a.m. at the Board of Supervisors meeting room at the county complex in Nogales. Th e meeting is open to the public.
Th e agenda might include a potential proposal for a law that requires owners to tie up their animals when they are in the yard. Th at was discussed at the commission’s March meeting. Th e group meets every other month.
Th e agenda is prepared by commission Chairman Hank Th ysell and a copy is available by calling county employee Jeannette Martinez at (520) 375-7636. It will also be posted on the county’s web site in the animal control section several days before the meeting, Martinez said.
elecTion To Take place june 12
Tubac and Amado residents will choose a replacement for former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giff ords in a special election set for Tuesday, June 12.
As demonstrated in recent elections, many people will be voting by mail prior to election day.
Republican Jesse Kelly won the April 17 primary election and Democrat Ron Barber was unopposed. Also on the June 12 ballot will be Green Party candidate Charlie Manolakis.
Th e individual elected will serve until Giff ords’ term is completed at the end of this year.
Tubac and Amado will be in a diff erent Congressional district – District 3 -- beginning in 2013 as a result of statewide redistricting, which is carried out every 10 years. For that reason, voters will be asked to choose their representative for that district in the August primary and November general elections.
Giff ords resigned in January to focus on her recovery from being shot in the head in January 2011.

While many Tubac area residents are bilingual, there are many others that have the desire to be. Until this year, local classes in Spanish were few and far between. Now, Spanish is taught by three capable instructors at the Evolution Dance Studio. Cheryl Todd, who operates the Evolution Dance Studio, has set up the Spanish classes. Tuition is $10 per class. At the present time there are three instructors:Lead teacher Paula Beemer of Tubac is a native Spanish speaker, born in Chile. She has a bachelor’s degree in business and economics. She also teaches private classes.Beemer said, “My students are all very enthusiastic. It’s a very comfortable setting and we laugh a lot. A great part of the success is the students’ drive and willingness.” Arlette Rivera's fi rst language also is Spanish. A Rio Rico resident, she graduated with a bachelor's degree in law from UABC, the university in Baja California, Mexico, and then studied criminology and real estate in the U.S. She has worked as a substitute teacher since 2006 in the Rio Rico school district.
Sue Webb-Rees of Tubac learned Spanish as a child and has worked with Spanish speakers for 35 years. She lived in Mexico and Guatemala and has a master's degree in psychology. Her classes will resume in the fall.To register, call Todd at (719) 237-7364. Classes are held at Evolution Studio in Tubac (20 Avenida Goya) in the same shopping center as the Tubac Market and Crista's Fitness Center. Th e class schedule at Evolution is:Tuesday, 10:30 to 11:30 a.m., Beginning Spanish, Paula Beemer.11:45 a.m. to 12:45 p.m., Intermediate Spanish, Paula Beemer.Wednesday, Conversational Spanish, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., Paula Beemer.Intermediate Spanish, noon to 1 p.m., Paula Beemer.Saturday, 9:30 to 10:30 a.m., Beginning Spanish, Arlette Rivera.10:30 to 11:30 a.m., Beginning and Intermediate Spanish, Arlette Rivera.1 to 2 p.m., Intermediate Spanish, Arlette Rivera.

TEACHERS MAKE LEARNING SPANISH
ENJOYABLEby Kathleen Vandervoet
People assume that because I live in Tubac I must be a painter, a sculptor, a potter or something of that sort of artistry, but the truth is that up to this point I have not been able to discover how to connect what I see and imagine with what my hands can do. I have the desire, but I was not given the ability at birth to create pieces of art, in other words I don’t think people would refer to me as a “natural.”
However, I believe I have been given the talent to communicate through writing and that has led me to meet interesting people and experience interesting activities as it was on the day I met Diane Lisle, owner of Clay Hands Gallery and Studio, who invited me to take one of her pottery classes.
Before I describe my experience I have to shout that I LOVED IT! Hours after the class had ended I still felt the excitement of creating or having my hands working the clay, shaping a cone on the potter’s wheel and pressing the clay down with my fi st, repeating the process and ending with an artifact.
Not knowing anything about this activity, except what clay is, I arrived at my class at 10 a.m. on Sunday. I wore my good jeans and a clean shirt, which revealed my ignorance in the matter. I was there to get dirty in a fun way.
Diane brought blocks of clay that she set on a table and told us to start wedging. A big question mark appeared over my head, but it was clear once she started kneading, rolling, mixing and taking a few other steps that she was preparing the material. She explained the methods of wedging and the ideal conditions to avoid cracking and failure of our work.
Once the clay was ready, perfect in moisture and consistency, we made four balls, put them in a plastic bag and took them to the potter’s wheel. She demonstrated
the process and explained the importance of the hand movement, the use of water, pressure and speed. I observed with anxiety, I couldn’t wait to get my hands involved in the project.
Diane handed me a long apron and I sat with the wheel between my knees. I grabbed a ball of clay, slammed it to the wheel so it would stick and save me from the embarrassment of my ball fl ying away as the wheel turned. Once it was in place, I squeezed a sponge full of water over it and turned the switch on for the wheel to spin.
It was challenging, but relaxing, it reminded me of those squishable balls they sell to fi ght stress, but easier. At the same time it was nice to have more students next to me as we would share our limited knowledge and laugh with each other at our mistakes.
After a few practical exercises, we were ready for our fi rst project, the creation of a ring holder. At least I thought I was ready, but I realized that it may take more than a day, a week or years to master perfection. My clay went up, went down and went crooked, I tried again and again, and fi nally I was able to end up with a decent shape that I left to dry.
We also did some hand projects where I learned how to make a pinch-bowl and we started the creation of masks.

Tsunamis are not too common in Tubac, and neither, thank goodness, are earthquakes. Th e latter are truly at fault for having a nasty habit of bringing the future of brick and mortar structures to a grinding halt.Neglect and abandonment have done their gradual damage to the Spanish missionary structures of Eusebio Kino’s Sonoran Desert, but the California missions of Junipero Serra came to a more sudden conclusion. And more than once, at that.Th roughout the centuries of their existence, many of the missions of California Alta have tumbled to dust and were repeatedly repaired, strengthened, or replaced. Th e continual resources devoted to salvaging these structures attest to their value as part of our heritage. Today, the Catholic Church owns nineteen California missions, and the state of California owns two. Responsibility for upkeep is more complicated.Since heritage photography is that thing I do, the California missions draw my attention, along with those in southern Arizona. A heritage photographer worth his salt doesn’t stop at the skin-deep beauty of the structures, but will delve into the past to understand their provenance. Coincidentally, now, the April 2012 issue of Noticias de Anza, the bulletin of the Juan Bautista de Anza National Historic Trail, features the “parallel lives” of the two men behind the missions. Reaching from today’s Mexico into the entire southern part of today’s United States, the Viceroyalty of New Spain wanted assimilation: command and control of its new territories, and along with the military, missionaries such as Kino and Serra entered this grand stage as a
fundamental part of that eff ort. Th eir goal was of course to convert zealously the locals to Christianity.
Th e two chains of self-sustaining mission villages created fi rst by Kino, then Serra, are the focus of my attention. A few comparative facts of these missionaries are off ered as follows:
Even though they lived at diff erent times, as the “Noticias de Anza” informs, the lives of these two great men intersected, in a way, at Tucson’s Mission San Xavier del Bac. It was Kino, a Jesuit, who initiated the fi rst missionary activities there, but it was Franciscans later who oversaw the fi nal construction of the main structure we enjoy today.By policy, California’s missions were built close to the mighty Pacifi c ocean. Just imagine that magnifi cent country in the pristine splendor of those times!But this was also earthquake country. Th e inevitable damage or destruction of the California missions by earthquakes spared the two examples extant here in southern Arizona. Th is benefi ts current pilgrims in the sense that our structures, not having been rebuilt, may be somewhat more original. Even so, the current, local

Tumacácori structure is a second rendition of that mission, having been moved from the east side of the Santa Cruz River and itself having fallen into severe disrepair from neglect.In southern Arizona there are, as far as I can tell, three other mission structures with bits and pieces still above ground, but their remains can’t approach the photogenic charm of Tumacácori or the magnifi cence of San Xavier. It’s hard to go wrong photographing these precious relics of our heritage. Photographer Ansel Adams, my “mentor,” famously captured San Xavier’s exterior on fi lm from the 1940s through the 1960s. For exterior pictures of the White Dove of the Desert, (not to mention most landscapes in the great American West), you can probably start and stop with Ansel. But, if you insist on making your own pictures, the Spanish missions of either Arizona or California off er a perfect destination for travel and heritage photography. A trip for a
week or two visiting most of the California missions is a dandy notion. Only a few no longer exist. When photographing them, a few hints: use a tripod indoors without fl ash, since fl ash is no good due to “hot spots.” Any tourists in the way will probably blur out due to the time exposure. For outdoors, move backward and take maximum advantage of the (sometimes rural) settings of these precious structures. Plan your day for just the right angle of sunlight.
As part of their reward, Father Kino is now approaching beatifi cation in the Roman Catholic Church, and Friar Serra is headed toward sainthood. You, the borderlands photographer, may or may not be saintly, but immersing yourself thoroughly in the sepia-toned history of Old California and Old Arizona is itself a very fi ne reward.

Folklorico 2012 had the largest participation in the 10 years it has been celebrated, with 345 attendants. Although it is too soon to provide a fi nal result in terms of income, it is expected to be signifi cantly better than last year, says Bob Phillips, director of the Santa Cruz Community Foundation. Attendants, sponsors and donors realize the importance of this fundraising celebration, which helps the SCCF to achieve its mission by giving scholarships for youth with leadership potential, providing technical assistance to strengthen and expand the non-profi t sector, making transformational grants to area non-profi ts and more, as listed in their brochures.Th e theme for this year was “a step back into history on the way to the future.” In my opinion, the organizers developed the idea very well by combining the historical site of the Tubac Presidio, the clothing that many wore that night, the entertainment and the food. We enjoyed the presence of groups such as Mexicayotl Academy Dancers performing Azteca dances and from Nogales, Sonora, Crazy Art acrobats, Ballet Folklorico Pasco performing traditional Mexican dances, Nogales Mariachi and the Nogales Municipal
Band who delighted us with their instruments and music that encouraged people to dance.Th e tables were elegantly decorated, the food, prepared by Mono cuisine, was delicious and the program was nicely executed. As we all sat down to enjoy our dinner, a live auction took place with items such as a beautiful leather tote donated by Ruby Firecat Designs, -paintings donated by David Simons and Barbara Gurwitz and others. A silent auction also occurred with many attractive items as well. Phillips says the two auctions raised about $18,000.Th e generosity of individuals and organizations was outstanding. Phillips expressed his gratitude for all sponsors and donors such as La Posada, Wells Fargo Bank and in particular with Fundación del Empresario Sonorense (FESAC) who contributed not only in the fi nancing of the event, but also bought several tables. “It has been the strongest collaboration and attendance we’ve had from Sonora, Mexico,” Phillips says.FESAC is a partner foundation from Nogales, Sonora that, together with SCCF , collaborates to facilitate cross-border community

Very nice! -- Roseann Munger“Th anks to all of the volunteers and staff who made this year's Folklorico event so special.

The impressive array of beautiful birds that live in -- or visit -- Tubac and Rio Rico was the topic of guest speaker Jim Lockwood at the annual meeting of the Friends of the Santa Cruz River held April 21.
The river and its accompanying dense waterside trees and plants encourage a huge number of migrating birds to stop for a few days or for months every winter and early spring, Lockwood said.
Because of that, the Santa Cruz River Valley is one of the most important areas for birders in the United States, he said.

Common Black Hawk Grey Hawk
Phainopepla Thick-billed Kingbird Tropical Kingbird
A volunteer bird walk guide for the Sonoita Creek State Natural Area, Lockwood and his wife, Sally, live in Rio Rico.
Enthusiastic and knowledgeable, he presented a slide show at the Tubac Community Center depicting a wide variety of birds from tiny hummingbirds to large hawks. Most of the photos were taken by himself along the Santa Cruz River, he said.
Four water birds that migrate through Tubac on their way to Alaska include the long-billed dowitcher, Wilson’s snipe, least sandpiper and blue-winged teal.
Speaking about the Townsend’s warbler and Wilson’s warbler, he said, “You see them when they are migrating here. They are really spectacular.” If a viewer misses them in Tubac, “you have to go to the Sky Islands or the Chiricahua mountains,” he said.
Photos of kingbirds included Cassin’s and Western, which are the most common, and the unusual tropical and thick-billed, which Lockwood said are not often seen in the United States.
Two hawk photos included the common black hawk, with a white band along its tail, and the grey hawk. He played the grey hawk’s call and noted, “You hear them all the time on the Anza Trail” along the river.
Another bird call which listeners heard was the Bell’s vireo. “They never stop,” Lockwood said, but added they are “terribly difficult to find.”
Bullock’s oriole is yellow with a black bib. “They love to come to the hummingbird feeders,” Lockwood said. A year ago, the
orioles “stayed and nested” on their way north but this year that didn’t happen, he said.
Birds that migrate from the Tubac area, rather than to it, include sparrows such as white-crowned, vesper, Brewer’s and Lincoln’s.
The brightly-colored elegant trogon is a favorite of Lockwood’s and he’s seen it up close many times. He believes the same one returns yearly to Lake Patagonia in mid November for the winter. It leaves in late March or early April and flies to the Madera Canyon area of the Santa Rita mountains since it prefers a 5,000-foot to 6,000-foot elevation during the summer.
Summer viewings are typical for the yellow-billed cuckoo, usually in August or September, Lockwood said. “This is the bird that comes when the monsoons come,” one person added.
Lockwood made a plea to encourage people to share their love of birding with others. “We need to involve more young people. It’s an amazing thing to live here. We want to make sure it’s maintained.”
A brochure with about 150 bird names can be found at the visitor center of the Tubac Presidio State Historic Park and makes a good checklist for birdwatchers in the area. It details which birds are year-round residents, which are migrants and which are considered uncommon or rare.

Annual picnic for historical society supporters
On April 15, THS hosted their annual picnic at the breathtaking Tres Alamos
Ranch venue that has been used for the last few years. Th e ranch is on the east side of the Santa Cruz River and includes horse pastures and mature trees. Th e picnic is one of the biggest fundraiser events benefi ting the THS, says Susan Buchanan, member and secretary of the organization.
It was a beautiful sunny Sunday, we were welcomed and invited to go through the main door of the magnifi cent house to fi nd ourselves in front of a grassy patio fi lled with tables surrounded by cottonwood trees, a pond and view embellished with the soothing motion of the leaves and ripples in the water of a nearby pond.
On one extreme of the patio a buff et table was laden with dishes such as “pecan smoked beef ” coleslaw and potatoes, prepared by Stables Restaurant. In the center the band “Way Out West” were playing what they called “bordergrass” a mix of bluegrass, western and Norteño music. To the side there was a stand where Sam Chilcote, THS vice president, gave a welcoming speech to the attendees.
Buchanan says they are very pleased with the participation of 250 people this year and although plans have not started for next year’s picnic, it will happen.
For more information about future events call 520-398-2416.

It is that time of year rolled ‘round again to remind me I have lived long enough to know that life moves fast and has rewards and challenges we can’t anticipate. I was born into a generation who
believed that things were going to get progressively better. And they have, in so many ways. I’ve watched the United States evolve into a more compassionate place, despite our sleazy political campaigns. I’ve seen us off er our citizens all sorts of things my parents only hoped for; things like better schools, fi nancial aid, improved medical care, civil rights, animal rights and social security. Although I lost family and friends to illnesses that no longer have to be fatal, I rejoice for those who will not. But we aren’t done yet, are we? Don’t we still have to raise the bar? We want the fairest courts, the most sensible laws, the best educators, the cleanest air and the continuation of hard won protections we put in place for our daughters and sons.
I watched us fl y to the moon, literally move mountains, restore cities spoiled in smog, clean rivers, re-plant forests and pull roads across the country to connect one end to another. I remember when bridges were erected that defi ed imagination; tunnels dug, dams built, water channeled. For a while we were number one in health care, in justice, in opportunity and education. We like to be in fi rst place, and try to correct our blunders, preserve what cannot be replaced and protect our environment. I worry about the toxicity of soil and shrinking sources of water. (I have grandchildren, after all.) I try not to think about the key deer, kit foxes,
spotted owls, bumble bees and the 900 plus native critters that are on the threatened species list, but I do.
Just as we want to protect the creatures of the earth, we want to remember our own species and take care of the very young, the disabled and the needy. We want our mothers and fathers to know there is a net under them as they age, and police and fi reman to rescue us when we call. While I respect the systems of law and care that are in place to insure our well-being and the well-being of others, I, for one, want to honor their distinct responsibilities. I don’t want rogue protective services or an armed nation. Vigilantes, bounty hunters, neighborhood watch groups, local militias, Minutemen and such scare me, as does easy gun access. Th ey are signs of fear and brutishness, representing the success of those wishing to frighten us, keep us slightly off -balance. Too many hunters empowered with too many guns almost insures tragic mistakes. I had hoped we would evolve like so many other modern nations, disarming for the sake of safety and civility. Maybe we should follow post-war Nicaragua, bury our guns in a cement heap and free our gazillion prisoners. (743 per 100,000 -- more than all the European countries combined.)
Speaking of outrageous numbers, since I have been born, the universe has expanded exponentially. In fact, it expands at a rate of billions of miles in all directions daily, and houses 70,000 million, million, million stars that are dying and being born at rates we can only imagine. Aren’t the heavens all the more amazing in the light of this new knowledge? Isn’t it remarkable that 95% of our universe is fi lled with dark stuff that confounds us? Don’t we want science to seek and fi nd stunning
new data? I mean, there’s so much left to do! Let’s cure Cancer, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s disease, mental disorders, cystic fi brosis and all those other menaces that disrupt life and cause families intense pain. We have the potential for life improving discoveries. We need to know more about cause and eff ect.
Humans are hard-working task masters and spiritual, too. However, while we profess to love creativity and good intentions, we tend to distrust high intellect and new ideas. Perhaps it’s because so many of us are traditionalists at the core. Perhaps we’ll grow psychologically as the cosmos stretches.
I love being part of an expanding universe and part of an eclectic nation. I fear that we may become complacent with our past successes or dismiss the very thing that made this country strong. Our diversity has set us apart and now we are turning away immigrants who could enrich our nation and the world with their extraordinary talents and energy. Immigration laws have become so tight, our colleges and universities now produce experts that are forced to go elsewhere to work.
I feel so lucky! I was accidentally born in this land where people have choices, where they can recover and respond to a changing world and its complex demands. To be an American has always meant to move forward, not backward, and I am grateful to be here for my piece of the action. What a day! What a world! What a life!
Yes! Happy Birthday to me.

happy birthday to me!

Identifying a signifi cant
community need, Boy Scout Ty Schneider, 17, led a crew of about 16 volunteers in March to improve the exterior appearance of the Rojas House inside the Tubac Presidio State Historic Park.
Schneider, who lives in Tucson and is a member of Troop 747 in the Boy Scouts of America Catalina Council, said he chose the project as part of the requirements to become an Eagle Scout.
“I thought it would be hard,” he said. “But because I got so many people, it actually was pretty easy.”
Schneider made three trips to the state park in Tubac to talk with park director Shaw Kinsley prior to the March 10 work day. Schneider had to plan the project, develop a budget, ask for donations, request volunteer help and organize the schedule.
Th e Rojas House is a row house which demonstrates the way average people lived in the early 1900s in the Santa Cruz Valley and in Southern Arizona. Constructed of mud adobe, it’s compact and has just three rooms, but lacks an indoor bathroom.
Schneider’s project had three parts – a three-foot tall fence of ocotillo, mimicking an original fence, was constructed around the front of the house; an extension was added to the metal roof of the small tack house; and the exterior wood trim around windows and doors was repainted in blue.
Kinsley said he’s thrilled with the result. Th e woodwork urgently needed paint since in some spots it was down to bare wood. Th e roof extension on the north side of the tack room is a critical improvement to protect the structure’s wall from erosion by rainwater, he said.
An ocotillo rib fence was originally part of the home when it was lived in and Kinsley said there is a photo to prove that. However, when the property became part of the park it had a decrepit chicken wire fence which was soon removed.
Th e work meant that this area of the park looks much nicer than it did before, Kinsley said, and the volunteers “preserved a cultural treasure for others to enjoy.”
He felt Schneider did a great job. “He was thoughtful, and careful, and he
was decisive, making many decisions” on the day of the project, Kinsley said.
So many volunteers came to assist that the project was completed earlier than expected and Kinsley was able to have a few other small projects done around the park, he said.
Th e budget for the work was about $512, with another $100 needed for lunches and beverages for the volunteers, Schneider said.
He said he had to go to about 10 hardware stores to fi nd the fencing wire needed to make sure the ocotillo fence was sturdy. He received a 20 percent discount on the ocotillo ribs, among other donations.
Also participating were Scoutmaster Sam Aston, Venture Crew advisor Chip Travers, and his parents, Sheri and Jerry Schneider.

Happy May and June to all you dear people. � e mountains remain majestic, the Grosbeak are back in all their glory, the Orioles are brighter than ever, the mourning doves still mourn, birthdays come and go, friends move on to other lives, the sun is getting warmer, the stars becoming brighter what a wonderful life, all is right with the world! Enjoy each day! "Everything's coming up Roses."When WWII ended in 1945, Rano Papini and I were married. We were both stationed at Fort Romulus Air Force Base in Wayne, Michigan. He was a mess sergeant and I was a driver in the motor pool.We bought a home in Northville, Michigan and Rano found a job at the Daisy Air Ri� e Company in Plymouth, Michigan.He began making co� ee and bringing donuts from a local bakery, so he could supply breakfast for work men who came early. President Cass Hough knowing that Rano had been a cook in the Army allowed him to open a small cafeteria in an unused room in the plant, and it thrived, with 10-15 cent sandwiches and 35 cent meals.Daisy was besieged with the Union wanting to take over and Cass was faced with the choice of moving the Daisy Co. to Rogers, Arkansas. Gov. Orval Faubus at that time governor, had just integrated the high schools in Little Rock.
� e Union was voted out, and Daisy moved in 1958. Rano's little cafeteria moved to Arkansas along with the Daisy plant. � ere were about 20 couples that were � own to Rogers, to see the city and meet the people, we had a wonderful weekend and all decided to move with Daisy.Rogers, at that time, a lovely city of 5,000 was good to us and our children, Penn, age 12, Claire, age 11 and Rano Paul age 3. � ey liked school, made dear friends and were happy.I was always a Republican, voting as my parents had and in Rogers I worked on Win Rockerfeller's campaign, he was governor from 1967-1971.When Bill Clinton began his campaign for governor I could feel the change coming. � e 100th anniversary of Daisy's existence cinched it for me. Governor Bill Clinton was the main speaker. I gave a brief history of Daisy but he won the crowd over. He was eloquent and statesmanlike when he said good-night, he told me he'd never forget my name, PAPINI, because it sounded like a B.B. rocking o� a tin roof! He never did forget me, nor I him. I voted for Bill Clinton to become president each time, I'm a full blown democrat. Love me or leave me, I can't change, I still care for my readers. Now, I'm hoping Hillary becomes president in 2016!
