Douglas man arrested
the following night
By Bruce Whetten
Douglas Dispatch
New Year’s revelers brought
in the New Year last Wednesd ay n i g ht i n a r el at ively
calm manner.
W hile some local establishments celebrated officials with
the Douglas Police and Fire Departments both reported a fairly
uneventful New Year’s Eve and
New Year’s Day.
On Friday, Jan. 2 a Douglas
man was arrested however for
misconduct involving a weapon.
Sgt. Jose Duarte of the Douglas
Police Department reported four
local homes reported New Year’s
Day their residence had been hit
by stray bullets. Only three of the
homes, in the 1800 block of 23rd
Street, the 1700 block of 20th and
the 500 block of Elizabeth filed reports with the DPD.
Duarte added he didn’t have actual numbers at press time as to
how many vehicles were stopped
by the DUI Task Force but that
one woman was cited and released in the 1200 block of 18th
Street for D.U.I./ open container.
Matt King, Public Information
Officer for the DFD said New
Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day
saw nothing unusual for them.
“We had numbers of calls both
days that fall with-in our normal
daily response numbers, and we
didn’t have anything that appeared particularly unusual or
exciting,” he said.
Shortly after 10:30 p.m. Friday
Douglas Police Officers were dispatched to the 1400 block of 23rd
in reference to a male subject
shooting a weapon in the area.
Sgt. Duarte said Douglas Police
Officers arrived and observed a
male subject carrying multiple
rifles. They ordered the male subject to stop but he decided to enter
a residence and close the doors.
Several minutes later the same
male subject, later identified
as William Caldwell, exited the
residence and was ordered to
show his hands and get on the
ground. Caldwell began to comply but subsequently reached
into his pant pocket and re moved a handgun and threw it on
the ground.

Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey delivers his inaugural address on
Monday at the State Capitol in Phoenix.
Inaugural address focuses on ‘opportunity’
By Howard Fischer
Capitol Media Services
PHOENIX — Wasting no time after being sworn
in, Gov. Doug Ducey immediately took the possibility of higher taxes off the table to balance the state
budget, even on a temporary basis.
In his inaugural speech Monday at the Capitol,
Ducey acknowledged the fiscal problems facing the
state as he takes the reins. That includes an immediate $500 million in red ink for the current fiscal
year and another $1 billion deficit for the new budget year that begins July 1.
But Ducey derided those who contend that the
only solution is to increase state revenues.
“It will be said that the state has already found all
the savings that can be found, cut every line item
that can be cut, and now, every option exhausted, it
is for the people to pay for the shortfall with higher
taxes,” he said in his prepared speech in front of
the old state Capitol. “And I will reply: Not on our
watch.”
Ducey said. He said that his four years as state
treasurer have convinced him that “a more efficient
government is not only necessary, but sensible.”
“In the plainest terms, it’s not that the people are
taxed too little,” Ducey said. “It’s that their government is spending unwisely.”
Ducey did not spell out what spending he considers “unwise.” Those details will have to wait until
at least next Monday, Jan. 12, when he gives his

Douglas cemetery fees increase in 2015
By Aaliyah Montoya
Douglas Dispatch
Pursuant to Ordinance 12-1021, Cemetery fees have increased as of Thursday, Jan. 1, 2015.
According to a press release from
the City of Douglas, following an action taken by the Mayor and Council,
previous Ordinances dating back to
2008 programmed incremental fee adjustments, based on costs of providing
City cemetery services.
In 2011, the City Council voted to
approve Ordinance 11-1003, to freeze
these programmed burial fees, in an
effort to provide a better value and
serve the public’s needs. The rate
implementation was delayed again, in
2012.
The rates scheduled for 2011 were applied in 2014. Currently, the Ordinance
in place calls for the previous 2012
rates to carry to this year.
This year’s new fees are scheduled
Bruce Whetten/Douglas Dispatch
Cemetery fees for Douglas increased effective Jan. 1. Cost per lot in dirt will be $555
while the cost per lot in grass will be $858.

Granite headstone install 25’’ to 48’’
$210.
Burial and exhumation rates vary
and are available upon request.
According to Deputy City Manager,
Ana Urquijo, this change was initiated in 2008 as a result of rising operating costs. Douglas cemetery rates
were noticeably lower compared to
other areas in the county. City staff
will continue to look at ways to maintain a cost effective cemetery facility
while ensuring quality service to the
community.

A diagnosis of cancer can be a devastating diagnosis for both
patients and for their
families. Breast cancer is the most common cancer for women
and world wide, the
second most common

t wo most com mon
risk factors for breast
cancer include being

older. Unfortunately,
one i n ever y ei g ht
women will have a lifetime risk of developing
breast cancer. Cer vica l cancer is
equal ly devastating. Risk factors for cervical cancer include multiple sexual partners,
early sexual activity,
a weak immune system, using birth control for five or more
years, giving birth to
three or more children
and smoking. Cervical
cancer used to be the
leading cause of cancer
death for women in the
United States. However,
in the past 40 years,
the number of cases of
cervical cancer and the
number of deaths from
cervical cancer have
decreased significantly. This decline largely
is the result of many
women getting regular Pap tests, which
can find cervical precancer before it turns

BENSON — Visibly exhausted,
members of the Cochise County
Sheriff’s Office held a press conference in Benson Thursday to
answer questions about a horrific helicopter crash near Benson late Wednesday afternoon
where a pilot and mechanic
were killed.
The two men were flying the
Cochise Air helicopter — an
aircraft used by the Cochise
County Sheriff’s Office for law
enforcement and safety missions
— to the Sierra Vista Airport
from Glendale where it had undergone a routine maintenance.
Sometime around 7 p.m. the
Sheriff’s Office was advised by
the leasing company they had
lost contact with the aircraft.
Sheriff Mark Dannels started
the conference by extending condolences to the families of the
two men who lost their lives in
the crash.
“These two men supported the
Cochise County Sheriff’s Office
as a specialized resource which
benefited the citizens of Cochise
County,” Dannels said.
The pilot, 48 year old Jeff
Steele, was a retired Glendale
police officer employed by Airwest Helicopters LLC, and was
assigned to the Cochise County
Sheriff’s Office. Steele worked

Pet of the week
Hello there and Happy
New Year. We are this
week’s Douglas Dispatch
Pets of the Week.
If it seems like there are
more of us than normal
in the paper this week it
is because things got a
little crowded here at the
Douglas Animal Shelter
over the New Year’s holiday and we are
near capacity.
These nice people are hoping you will
help us find forever homes, and quickly.
I am a 1-year-old male Pit Bull. I was
picked up over on Eighth Street and would
sure like to go to a good loving home.
I have not had my shots and have not
been neutered.
The dog next to me is a female Cocker
Spaniel. She is less than a year old and she
too, was found wandering the streets of
Douglas. She has not been spayed and has
not had her shots.
The four little puppies are one male and
three females. I think they are part Pit Bull
and part SharPei. They are about eight
weeks old and would make good pets.
They still need their puppy shots.
All of us are very friendly and want
nothing more than to go to a good, loving
with the Sheriff’s office since
the inception of the Cochise Air
program in May 2014, Dannels
said. Steele retired from the
Glendale police force in June
2011.
Airwest certified mechanic
Marc Hansen, 59, also died in
the crash. Hansen also was a helicopter and airplane pilot and
served in the U.S. Navy.
“This has truly been a horrific tragedy where two men were
taken away from their family
and our family too early in their
lives, but leaving a legacy which
will make their families and our
county proud,” Dannels said.
Mark Genz, project manager
for Cochise Air, also spoke, describing the crash site as “horrific.” Genz said two members of
two counts of unlawful discharge of a firearm (shooting twice at
the 1400 block of 23rd
Street) and two counts
of disorderly conduct
with the same weapons same location.
Caldwell was subsequently transported
to the Cochise County
Jail for incarceration.
“Douglas Police Officers responded to
multiple calls of shots
f i r e d for t he New
Year Eve and Day, but
this shows that officers showed great
restraint in dealing
with Mr. Caldwell this
night,” Sg t. Duarte
said. “No one was inju red a nd mu ltiple
weapons were secured

the National Transportation and
Safety Board are investigating
the crash, along with one Federal Aviation Administration investigator and a Rolls Royce engine technician. He also expects
a Bell aircrew technician to join
the investigation.
When questioned as to whether Wednesday’s windy conditions may have caused the aircraft to go down, Genz said he
could not answer the question.
An incident in September
where a Cochise Air helicopter
went down with what is referred
to as a “hard landing” also
raised questions among members of the media, with some
wanting to know Wednesday’s
aircraft was the same helicopter. While the same model, Genz
said it was not the same aircraft.
There were no injuries in the
hard landing incident.
Describing the crash site as
horrific, something you’d expect
to see in a bomb blast, Sgt. Ursula Ritchie, a Sheriff’s Office
Search and Rescue Coordinator,
said the terrain at the crash site
is extremely rough, with ravines
and large mesquite trees, making access difficult. In addition,
weather conditions Wednesday
evening were rough.
Along with the Sheriff’s Office, responders included Mescal
and Benson Fire Departments,
Search and Rescue volunteers as
well as members of the Sheriff’s
Assist Team.

letters to the editor
Demand accountability for
children’s education
Dear Editor:
W hy does a school
district exist? To educate children. Why hire
a Superintendent? To
coordinate and guide
the children’s education. Why elect a school
board? To make sure
t he S up e r i nt endent
does the job and hold
her accountable for the
children’s learning.
A consu lti ng f i r m
h a s b e en h i r e d for
much money to help
the Superintendent in
e duc at i n g ch i ld ren.
But that firm was only
at one board meeting,
that when it asked to
be hired.
The Superintendent
said “(O)ur scores are
slowly starting to show
gains. We have a plan
… that I believe will really make a difference”.
We were told student
achievement is showing “great gains,” there
is “great momentum
in this achievement”.
Lies! Two elementary
schools dropped to “D”
grades each, and the
district earned a worse
“C” grade.
• The Superintendent
has not repor ted as
promised monthly.
• The Board President has not had the
Board discuss student achievement for
months.
• The Board has not
g ive n t h e S up e r i n tendent direction on
i mprovi ng st udent
achievement.
• The consult-
ducey
CONTINUED FROM A1
State of the State address to the Legislature
— and possibly until
Jan. 16, when he unveils his budget.
But Ducey made
it clear that he will
not balance the budget w it h add it ion a l
revenues.
“Raise taxes and you
h aven’t solve d a nything,” he said. “All
that does is excuse the
inef fective spending
and invite more of it.”
A nd he wa r ned of
implications of higher
taxes.
“Prosperity moves,”
he said, going from one
place to another. “And
as taxes go up, it moves
away,” Ducey continued, a long wit h t he
jobs, the people “and
companies that found
a better welcome someplace else.”
Ducey’s promise of a
balanced budget drew
appl au se f rom b ot h
Senate President Andy
Biggs, R-Gilbert, and
Sierra Vista Republican David Gowan, who
is in line to become
speaker of the House.
But Bi g g s ack nowledged it’s one thing to
talk about balancing
the budget with spendi n g c ut s a nd qu it e
something else lining
up the votes to trim or
eliminate a particular
program.
Ducey made no mention Mond ay of hi s
campaign promise to
submit legislation each
year to actual ly cut
personal income tax
rates as a method of
stimulating the economy. But he did promise
focused efforts that he
said will lead to “new
investment, more companies moving here,
growing here, starting
here, and many new
jobs added these next
four years.”
T he new gover nor
said, though, that his
spending plans “will
not meet with general
approval among special
interests,” though he
ing firm has not appeared to report at any
Board meeting.
What should be done?
• The Board must demand Superintendent
ac c ou nt abi l it y. T he
Board President must
have the Superintendent report as promised at every meeting.
The Board must tell the
Superintendent what it
expects for the children
and demand the Superintendent do this.• The
Superintendent must
report what the consulting firm is doing to
help children learn, not
tell us lies!
• T he consu lti ng
f i r m mu st repor t
why it thinks student
achievement became
worse, tell the Board
t h e c h a n g e s i n it s
plan to increase student achievement, and
must report at every
Board meeting what it
has done.
Why must the Douglas community be vitally concerned as I
am? These are Douglas’ children, and our
community’s future!
What price is to be
paid by our community
and its children if the
Board does not do its
job, does not demand
accountability from the
Superintendent and the
hired-for-much-money
consulting firm? Our
Children Fail!
Sincerely,
Michael F. Nava
Douglas Resident
did not define exactly
who he thinks fits in
that category. Instead,
he promised to focus on
“opportunity for all.”
His speech did contain one specific promise: expansion of school
choice.
“The right to a real
education will not depend on family wealth
or sheer luck,” Ducey
said. He said he wants
options available “to all
parents, whatever their
means, wherever they
live, period.”
H e d i d n o t s a y,
though, whether that
means expanding existing programs which
provide parents with
vouchers of state funds
to send their children
to private and parochial schools. Press aide
Daniel Scarpinato said
those details will have
to wait until next week.
Ducey spoke to his
aud ienc e, i nclud i n g
the new crop of legislators who take office
next week, about what
he c a l le d “si mpl ic ity” in the goals for
government.
“Equal justice, public
safety, aid to the helpless and the defense of
the weak against the
strong ; take care of
those duties and you
have served well,” he
said.
Here, too, there were
few specifics. Instead,
he listed the “fundament a ls” of gover nment, including guardi ng public he a lt h,
protecting chi ld ren,
supporting higher education, “building roads
where we develop and
p r e s e r v i n g n at u r a l
lands where we don’t.”
Ducey extended an
olive branch of sort to
the Democrats who remain in the minority
in both the House and
Senate.
“We can have legitimate differences and
debate t hem op en ly
and honestly,” he said.
“We can acknowledge
that al l members of
an elected body chosen by the people are
worthy and we can act
accordingly.”
Pay attention to the plan
I
f the long weekend of the
New Year holiday hasn’t
provided you time for personal reflection, you’re just
not getting the message. Modern media is bombarding its
audience with the idea that the
start of a new year is a chance
to catch up on our goals, whatever they may be.
It is also an important time
to plan.
That four-letter word will
become anathema by the time
the season changes in Arizona,
with governments at all levels
rolling out plans and priorities.
Casual observers are missing an opportunity if they fail
to realize that determining
priorities is the first step in
planning.
At the state level, we’ll hear
what Gov. Doug Ducey has to
say on Jan. 12 when the 52nd
session of the Arizona Legislature convenes at the newly-remodeled State Capitol.
The governor will tell us his
priorities for the state and to a
guest opinion
sierra vista herald
limited extent how he plans to
legislate.
At the local level, extended
sessions are already on the calendar for the city council and
school board in Sierra Vista.
Members will discuss and determine the priorities for the
upcoming year, which will
then direct staff members to
plan accordingly
Cochise County is finalizing
its Comprehensive Plan for
zoning.
There’s another use of that
word, plan.
Unfortunately, what Cochise
County is attempting to accomplish involves a somewhat disinterested public.
At least the results of multiple efforts to gather opinions
and comments from county
residents would seem to in-
dicate people are simply not
interested.
Exc ept
for
t he
environmentally-minded.
Those who are conscientious
of the advantages that Mother
Nature has bestowed on this
corner of Arizona have been
active in forming the county’s
zoning future.
They have done so by paying attention to opportunities for public comment and
participation.
The online response by this
interested group resulted in
more than 52 percent calling
for growth and development
concentrated within existing
cities within the county. Nearly 28 percent said the county
needs to stay rural and limit
growth.
With the public response
being what it is, county planners use the results to guide
policy and establish zoning.
Those policies and laws influence what the county will look
like for years to come.

Arizona adds 100,000 new residents
That’s more than virtually
every other state in the nation
By Howard Fischer
Capitol Media Services
PHOENIX — Arizona added
nearly 100,000 new residents
this past year, more than virtually every other state in
the nation.
New figures Tuesday from
the U.S. Census Bureau put the
state’s population as of July
1 at 6,731,484. In pure numbers, Arizona had the fifth
highest increase.
That’s also translates out to
a 1.45 percent increase from
the same time a year earlier, a
growth rate the seventh highest in the nation.
Despite that, Arizona still
remains only No. 15 in overall
population, the same as it was
in 2013.
But at the time of the 2010
census, Arizona was 16th. And
if the growth rate continues at
this pace, Arizona could gain
enough to pick up a 10th congressional seat after the 2020
decennial count.
Nationally, Texas led in pure
population growth — and at a
rate that could result in that
state adding to its 36 seats in
the U.S. House. But California,
which did not grow nearly as
fast, remains the most populous state in the nation.
In terms of pure percentages, though, tiny North Dakota
topped the list, with its 2.16
population growth fueled by
energy exploration.
So how did Arizona grow?
Some of it involves people
here having babies. More than
86,000 of them. But that was
partly offset by nearly 52,000
deaths in the same period.
But what really fueled Arizona’s growth came from outside.
According to Census Bureau
figures, Arizona added close to
42,000 people who moved from
some other state. And another
more than 14,000 came here
from other countries.
That computes out to more
Fastest
growing
states by
numbers:
1 Texas — 451,321
2 California — 371,107
3 Florida — 292,986
4 Georgia — 102,584
5 Arizona — 96,487
6 North Carolina
— 95,047
7 Washington
— 87,788
8 Colorado — 83,780
9 South Carolina
— 60,553
10 Virginia — 55,944
Source: U.S. Census Bureau
Fastest growing states by
rate of increase:
1 North Dakota
— 2.16%
2 Nevada — 1.71%
3 Texas — 1.70%
4 Colorado — 1.59%
5 District of Columbia
— 1.51%
than 150 people moving here
each and every day of the year.
Obviously, that’s nowhere
close to Florida which grew
by close to 690 people daily, including 380 from other countries. But that net in-migration
still ranked Arizona No. 5 nationally for folks who came
here from elsewhere.
The new Census Bureau figures for Arizona’s population
growth are a bit higher than
what the state itself has estimated. The Office of Employment and Population Statistics
computes the year-over-year
increase at just 86,187.
Economist Tom Rex of the
W.P. Carey School of Business at Arizona State University said he believes the
state’s figures are probably
more accurate. That would put
Arizona’s population about
64,000 less than the Census
Bureau numbers.
But Rex is not making a big
deal about the disparity.
“Population estimate is very
inexact due to data limitations,”
he said. Unlike the decennial
count, annual figures are put together working from samples including birth and death records
and housing counts.
6 Florida — 1.49%
7 Arizona — 1.45%
8 Utah — 1.38%
9 Idaho — 1.34%
10 South Carolina
— 1.27%
“A difference of 10,000 a year
is not very large,” Rex said.
Rex was did question estimates of the number of people
who have moved to Arizona in
the past year.
The Census Bureau puts that
at about 56,000; the state is figuring about 6,000 less. He said
the difference “seems high
given the employment change.”
During that same period, the
state Department of Administration says Arizona added
fewer than 60,0 0 0 jobs. But
Rex said the numbers are not
necessarily wrong.
“Presumably a fair portion
of the net migration consists
of retiring baby boomers,” he
said, people who don’t need
jobs here.
And Rex said even an influx
of job seekers can be explained.
He pointed out that the state’s
unemployment rate is dropping
ever so slowly. It remained at
7.8 percent last month, down
just a point from the same period a year earlier.
“In-migrants are filling a lot
of the jobs created,” he said,
rather than the new positions
going to people who already
are here and have been looking
for work.

Couple honors Bob Waldmire
By Aaliyah Montoya
Douglas Dispatch
Local residents, and
teachers at Douglas
High School, Mark Silverstein and Maggie
Schmidt have begun
the construction of a
mini museum attributed to the late Bob
Waldmire, a famous
Route 66 icon, artist,
and traveler. Wa ld mi re was a n
American artist who
was well known for
hi s c a r tog raphy of
U.S. Route 66. One of
his famous modified
vehicles, an orange
1972 Volkswagen Microbus, was the character inspiration for
“Fi l l more” i n t he
2006 animated motion
picture Cars. His vehicles can be found at
the Route 66 Museum
i n Poniac, I l li nois.
His father, Ed, is said
to have taken part in
the invention of the
corn dog, before establishing the legendary
Cozy Dog Drive-In restaurant in Springfield.
Si lverstei n a nd
Schmidt took g reat
interest in Waldmire,
who died of cancer in

said. “It was part of
his home and it holds
historical value.”
Si lverstei n a nd

some of Waldmire’s
belongings they have
stored in their home.
So far, the trailer has

film about Waldmire,
which Silverstein has
been working on since
the summer of 2012.
The documentary features interviews with
some of Waldmire’s
friends and family in
Poniac and Springfield, Illinois. Silverstein also made trips
to Rodeo, New Mexico,
and Portal, where he
shot additional footage.
The Springfield (IL)
State Journal-Register
published a story on
Si lverstein and his
fi lm production. In
his interview, Silverstein mentioned that

his passion.
Once completed, the
trailer’s mini museum will be displayed
on the grounds of the
Portal Lodge, where
Waldmire spent a lot
of his time.

lead but Babo evened
things out a little in the
second quarter with
some tight defense. For
the second night in a
row we were uncharacteristically cold from

we worked hard on the
boards, and we never
stopp ed r u n ni ng. It
was a great team effort.
We’re hungry for the
second half of the season and for conference
play to start.”
In the semifinal game
on Tuesday, Dec. 30 the
Blue Devils were facing
the Santa Rita Eagles, a
4A school out of Tucson
and came away with a
63-56 win.
T he Blue D evi l s
jumped out to an 11-4
lead only to see Santa
Rita storm back and
take a 32-30 lead at
the intermission.
In the second half the
Eagles went up 35-28. A
bucket by Cummings
was followed by four
straight three’s from
Cummings, Gamez and
two from Ur tu zua ztegui gave the Devils a
42-35 lead.
Santa Rita responded

Union a 52-48 lead and
the Devils cruised from

a three at the buzzer
to cut the final deficit
to seven.
Urtuzuaztegui led all
scorers with a game
high 24 points, 21 of
which came from beyond the arch. Cummings and Gamez each
followed with 15.
“It was a game of
runs, and we had a
great one when it counted most,” Coach Batty
said after the game.
“We gave up 10 3’s, and
that was more than
half of their points, but
we tightened up our defense and raised our
level of intensity in the
second hal f. Gamez,
Cummings, and Urtuzuaztegui all had great
stat lines, but the effort
by the entire team was
key. Usually we’re a decent free throw shooting team, but we were
a little cold until it
mattered most.”
The Blue Devils, 14-1,
are at Duncan on Friday
and Tucson on Saturday
for two sectional games.
Their next home game
will be Jan. 15 when
the Blue Devils host the
Bowie/San Simon Cougars. That game will

“My heart is
doubly grateful!”
Mike Strohm
is so thankful the Cardiac
Catheterization Laboratory at Sierra Vista Regional Health Center
features some of the region’s most advanced medical technology. In
just its first year, the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory performed
almost 500 procedures, from pacemaker placement to angioplasty,
a non-surgical procedure used to open blocked heart arteries.
The U.S. Army colonel used the life-saving services twice since it
reopened in November 2013. “It started this past April when I
started feeling pressure in my throat,” Mike said. “In just two hours,
I had deep pain in my right shoulder joint and jaw.” Together with
the cardiology team, Dr. William Elliott, a cardiologist, coordinated
complex cardiac interventions. “I was so impressed with the care
I received at the Cardiac Cath Lab,” Mike said. “Everyone had such a
positive attitude which helped calm my nerves. Now I’m back working
full-time as a counselor and traveling to Korea, Kuwait and Germany to
serve our soldiers and their families. Having these cardiac services right
here in Sierra Vista has been a real difference to me and saved my life!”
Together, we commit to build a healthier future
for all of Cochise County, Fort Huachuca,
and the surrounding communities.
