Two young prostitutes agreed to share their stories with 7 On Your Side Fighting Back against crime investigator, Jennifer Donelan, after they met with troopers. One young woman said she started to sell herself for money when she was just 14 years old. <a href=http://www.coachonlineoutlet.us.com/>coach outlet</a> Ted De Grazia was a prolific artist who left a legacy of art and a gallery.Some called him an artist-merchandiser. His art could be found not only on Christmas cards, but on playing cards, puzzles, and other merchandise.White this may have lowered the value of his art in some people's view, it contributed to the name of De Grazia being well-known even years after his death.He was born Ettore De Grazia June 14, 1909 in Morenci.From the Arizona Daily Star, Sept. 29, 1949:<h3 style="text-align: center;">Arizona-Born Artist Returns Home to Continue Art WorkBy Judy FriedmanArizona-born Ted De Grazia has returned home, both in spirit and in art work."And I'm my own welcoming committee," said De Grazia.Born in Morenci, De Grazia spent his first 16 years in Italy. He returned to Arizona until 1942 when he went to Mexico to study art with Diego Rivera and Orozco.Up until this year, most of De Grazia's work has been of Mexico. Scenes depicting the native people in their every day life is his favorite topic.Came HomeBut this year De Grazia came home with his work. He has spent the summer traveling to various southwestern Indian reservations. His new paintings are of Apache, Papago and Yaqui tribes and of scenes like San Xavier mission.His choice of coloring has changed too. De Grazia, an impressionist, has previously been known for boldness in color and sweeping designs. Now he paints in shades leaning toward the pastel. However, movement of design is still definite, though his surface is flat. De Grazia does not believe in perspective.Promote TucsonNow De Grazia wants to lend his talents to promote Tucson and the southwest in general. He feels that his paintings will help to show the cultural aspects of native-born Arizonans.Yesterday in his adobe home on North Campbell avenue, De Grazia met with Mayor E.T. Houston and Russell L. Soden, manager of the Tucson Sunshine Climate club. Tentative plans discussed include a preview showing of the artist's new works, with proceeds going to the Climate's club fund. De Grazia's work may also be used in the Climate's club future advertising.Tentative ArrangementsThese tentative arrangements will be brought before the Sunshine club's board of director's meeting Oct. 11.Main showing of De Grazia's southwestern works will be held in Los Angeles Nov. 20 to Dec. 4. "Only two weeks in California," said De Grazia. "I can't stand a longer stretch."Outstanding pieces include a view of the San Xavier mission with a cart full of Papago Indians in the foreground; an Apache devil dance, done with bold outlines of the moving figures; and two Yaqui men performing the traditional deer dance.The Bronc-RiderReminiscent of De Grazia's well-known Mexican cockfight, bullfight and dancing figure paintings is the Indian bronc-rider. It is done in the circle design of broad, palette-knife lines. Speed describes the racing horse with Apache Indian rider. The dashing form is symbolized by streaks of grey and blue, emphasized by the rider's red shirt.De Grazia will show 30 paintings in Los Angeles. He has scheduled showings in Santa Fe, N. M. in January and in Minneapolis in early spring. De Grazia has also been invited to present his southwest scenes at an early 1950 showing in La Jolla, Calif.Discuss PlansToday De Grazia will discuss preliminary plans for a newspaper mural at the Tucson Press club.Once a month De Grazia will present showings of other artists in his studio-home. The first showing will be works of De Grazia's newest discovery, Mrs. E. J. Nagoda of Tucson. A primitive artist, Mrs. Nagoda's paintings are done in oil. Her works will be shown in December.As he approached his 68th birthday, De Grazia was profiled by the Star's J.C. Martin.From the Star June 12, 1977:<style> #video-ad-asset-container, #video-ad-asset-container-played max-height: 0px; overflow: hidden; -webkit-transition: max-height 1s; -moz-transition: max-height 1s; transition: max-height 1s; #video-ad-asset-container.expand max-height: 800px; </style> <video id="video-ad-asset" class="video-responsive video-js vjs-default-skin"></video> <h3 style="text-align: center;">De Grazia at 68Artist-merchandiser says he 'never expected to hit it big' 鈥?but he didBy J. C. MartinThe Arizona Daily StarTed De Grazia will be 68 years old Tuesday.This compact, bearded, tattooed, jewel-bedecked, chino-clad artist and entrepreneur extraordinaire, born on Flag Day in Morenci when it was in Arizona Territory, can still muster a little wonder when he says he "never expected to hit the jackpot, never expected to hit it big."But that's exactly when he did.If he is not Arizona's most celebrated artist, he is certainly its most successful artist-merchandiser.You want a deck of playing cards? A paperweight? A laprobe? All are embellished with those famous faceless figures of Indians or Mexicans with the impossible anatomies 鈥?little more than graceful pear-shaped swirls of color. (A critic once called him "an expressionist Walt Disney.")Or a jigsaw puzzle, dart board, T-shirt, wall plaque onto which the De Grazia figures have been painstakingly transferred and a few (authorized by De Grazia himself) brush strokes added to give it a final cachet.Can't decide? There's a 56-page catalog to take with you (that costs $1)."I'm glad," De Grazia will say absently from time to time, "I never really did develop a taste for money."Nothing has De Grazia merchandised more persistently or successfully than himself. All the best De Grazia stories still belong to him, although they are available for purchase in books, albums and movies. Last April De Grazia conducted two five-day pack trips into the Superstition Mountains where, for $235, you could probably hear him tell them in person.The stories are a shrewd mixture of humor, humility and showmanship.De Grazia is proud and he has reason to be. An Italian miner's son who was 23 years old before he graduated from high school, he became a millionaire by doing exactly what he wanted to do 鈥?paint.He likes to recall that he once told an aspiring woman artist to "grow a beard. That's what I did and it worked for me."He also likes to tell how he attempted to attract customers at his first gallery at the corner of Prince Rd. and Campbell Ave.: "I propped my paintings up on a wide flat board that went from the gallery's doorway to the curb. And sometimes I'd get drunk and forget to bring them in at night. The next morning, they'd all be there. People wouldn't even steal them."He remembers when he painted patio walls. One wall owner, years after De Grazia had become famous, remembered that wall and, to his dismay, that he had had it painted over. The wall owner decided that his insurance company should share in the loss, and he appealed to De Grazia for an estimate of the wall's value. "I told him," says De Grazia happily, "$25, $50 was the most I ever got for painting a patio wall."If De Grazia owes his success to anyone outside his family 鈥?and today is the 30th anniversary of his marriage to his second wife, Marion 鈥?that person would be Raymond Carlson.De Grazia first met Carlson, long-time editor of Arizona Highways magazine, in Phoenix in the lobby of the old Adams Hotel where De Grazia was conducting a one-man show with his pictures ranging from $3 to $15."Carlson bought $50 worth," De Grazia says, then pauses. "But all he had with him was $20."It was a loan wirth floating. De Grazia first turned up in Highways' pages when it was still black and white. Highways continues to spread De Grazia's fame around the world, and he is still a steady contributor.No longer Highways editor, Carlson lives today in a nursing home in the Salt River Valley where De Grazia visits him."He still calls me 'Barbon' (bearded.) "'Barbon,' he says to me, 'I don't give a damn what you do, I like your work.'" De Grazia grins mischieviously. Like a lot of basically conservative people, he enjoys making himself out to be a rascal."Rough" is the word he uses. "I like to come through a little rough." Somehow a Los Angeles Times reporter recently got the impression that De Grazia's mother, whose decidedly Italian name is given in De Grazia's Who's Who listing as Lucia Gagliardi, was a Tarahumara Indian. Discovered at this game, De Grazia shakes with silent glee. Sometimes, he acknowledges, he gets bored with the same questions and "roughs out" an answer.De Grazia estimates it has been 15 years since he personally sold one of his own paintings. He has a representative in Scottsdale. It's been more than a year since he produced an oil painting at all. A restless sleeper, he often awakes at midnight and sketches in pen and ink on anything at hand. One of his favorite surfaces is a U.S. Post Office envelope.Of all the De Grazia items sold, not only in his own three galleries but in a variety of other outlets including several well-known department stores, the biggest moneymakers are the fine china serving plates and the plastic pendants. The plates are made by Fairmount and Gorham; there are two new designs each year, fired in "limited editions" of 10,000. They sell for between $45 and $60. The plastic pendants, made in Tucson, carry established De Grazia figures and retail for $10 and $20."People come to me and say, 'I've got an idea for a new product,'" De Grazia explains. "If I like it, I say go ahead, but I don't get involved. On everything I get my cut 鈥?10 per cent of the retail price. When I autograph it, I ask for more. How much more? A lot."Not counting oils, which are said to have sold for as much as $30,000, or area rugs, of which De Grazia has only allowed one to be sold (for about $1,200), and an occasional doll, probably the most expensive item in the current inventory is a limited edition of a book of Papago Indian legends. Each volume contains an autographed original De Grazia watercolor. There are 50 of them selling for $1,000 each.The cheapest thing is a 5-cent gift tag."You come here," says De Grazia, looking around his comfortable, cheerful Gallery in the Sun which he completed in 1965, "and spend a nickel or a thousand dollars."Or," he adds as an afterthought, observing with satisfaction a roomful of people busily exchanging cash for greeting cards, enamel earrings, handmade wastepaper baskets, "nothing at all. I'm glad I never really did develop a taste for money."On the same page was another article about De Grazia's antics with a film crew and getting bumped by Queen Elizabeth:<h3 style="text-align: center;">NBC visitors leave stymied but well-fedThe NBC film team has been here for two days. That's a producer, a cameraman, light and sound technician and a writer. They've shot five 400-foot reels 鈥?55 minutes' worth 鈥?of film. They've poked and probed and been wined and dined, but they are still not sure whether the stash is for real.The stash in question consists of an indeterminate number of paintings that De Grazia has told the Los Angeles Times and now NBC that he has started hiding in the Superstition Mountains.A year ago De Grazia led a cortege, which included a camera crew of his own, into the Superstitions and burned 100 paintings. NBC producer Dianne Wildman has that film tucked tightly under her arm. The well-publicized burning was De Grazia's protest against current inheritance tax laws which, the artist says, make it financially impossible for family and friends to accept any work he may will them.Now, De Grazia tells NBC, "I hide my paintings, mostly in caves and that way, if you find one, you can have it."Finders, keepers. Who needs to know?On the other hand, De Grazia adds, he is not planning on any of the many casual hikers who annually traipse around the Superstitions, often on conducted tours, to stumble over a real De Grazia oil."No one," he says positively, "is gonna find them." And that's all the NBC team has been able to squeeze out of him.Tuesday, De Grazia took the team, along with a quart of Chivas Regal, to the Fiesta Mexican Restaurant in his Prince Rd.-Campbell Ave. crafts shops complex. They spent the whole afternoon. The cook ate with them. De Grazia says he got drunk and he doesn't know what he told NBC. The NBC team says that's okay because none of them remembers.Suddenly De Grazia's tone is sharp. "You know what I hate? I hate growing old. I'd give everything I've got if I could go back 25 years." He recalls a few days ago trying to saw off a swinging tree branch. "After about 10 stroked back and forth with the saw, I couldn't do it any more. I hate that. I just cracked off the son of a bitch."He's not joking. There's a silence. A little girl comes up with a post card to be autographed. It's for her grandmother. The NBC team begins to say goodbye. Wildman says the two days' work could wind up as two minutes as an "ender" for an NBC news show. "It's kind of upbeat, you know."But if NBC decides to wait for the Today Show, De Grazia could get five minutes. He's been bumped this past week for the Queen of England.At least getting bumped by the queen might be good for bragging rights.Ted De Grazia died Sept. 17, 1982. His Gallery in the Sun is still doing business.

A total of 418 cases, up from 285 cases, have been reported in 31 states, up from 27 states two weeks ago, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.In the Tucson fatality, the woman was older than 50 and she became ill in the latter part of August. She died in early September, Garcia said. She lived in a nursing care facility in a midtown neighborhood.The woman鈥檚 death was associated with cucumbers served in the nursing care facility where she lived, Garcia said.The garden-variety cucumbers, which are the thick-skinned unwrapped cucumbers, came from Andrew & Williamson Fresh Produce of San Diego. The cucumbers were imported from Mexico, Garcia said.The San Diego company initiated a voluntary recall of all cucumbers sold under the Limited Edition label from Aug. 1 to Sept. 3 because of possible contamination with salmonella, officials said.In regards to the Tucson case, 鈥渢he voluntary recall was issued on or about the day that she died,鈥?said Garcia. 鈥淚f you have cucumbers that can be sourced back to Andrew & Williamson, do not eat the cucumbers. Throw them away.鈥?/p><style> #video-ad-asset-container, #video-ad-asset-container-played max-height: 0px; overflow: hidden; -webkit-transition: max-height 1s; -moz-transition: max-height 1s; transition: max-height 1s; #video-ad-asset-container.expand max-height: 800px; </style> <video id="video-ad-asset" class="video-responsive video-js vjs-default-skin"></video> 鈥淚f you have cucumbers that are grown in the U.S., those are probably safe. Wash them and get all the wax off. Make sure your hands are clean and your utensils for food preparation are not contaminated.鈥淢ost of the cases of salmonella happen with chicken and meat. Keep your refrigerated foods in the fridge. If you want to thaw or marinate food, leave it in the fridge, not in the sink,鈥?Garcia said.No more salmonella cases have been reported in Pima County since Sept. 5, he said. 鈥淲e believe we are on the resolution end of things. We are sharing this latest information because of the woman鈥檚 death,鈥?Garcia said.鈥淭here is no call to action to avoid cucumbers. If someone is elderly, young or medically ill, then know the source of the cucumbers. If the cucumbers are domestic, then there is not a lot to worry about,鈥?Garcia said.A Seattle law firm has already filed seven lawsuits on behalf of salmonella victims against Andrew & Williamson Fresh Produce, according to a news release from the firm.According to the Pima County Health Department:Anyone interested in recall information and alerts can sign up by visiting www.fda.gov/food and clicking on 鈥淩ecalls, Outbreaks & Emergencies.鈥漇almonella infection symptoms usually include headache, stomach pain, diarrhea, nausea and sometimes vomiting beginning 12 to 72 hours after consuming contaminated food or beverages. The illness usually lasts four to seven days, and most people recover without treatment. People concerned about their symptoms should see their health-care provider. tag http://www.coachonlineoutlet.us.com

u For more information on Toledo, Ohio, visit: <a href=http://www.coachonlineoutlet.us.com/>http://www.coachonlineoutlet.us.com</a> Arizona isn鈥檛 preparing adequately for future climate risks even as it deals well with current problems stemming from climate change, a new report says.The state got a C- overall grade in the national report done by Climate Central, a nonprofit science and journalism organization based in Princeton, New Jersey. Arizona drew a C+ in preparing for future extreme-heat risks, and a D+ and D-, respectively, in preparing for future drought and wildfire risks.The report compared all 50 states鈥?climate-preparedness efforts. Some Arizona officials said it didn鈥檛 give Arizona enough credit for some of its current, climate-related planning efforts. Climate Central said it was the lack of long-term planning that concerned it, and that Arizona 鈥渉as a long way to go.鈥?/p>All three of these future risks are considered significant, and in some cases, among the worst in the country or well above the national average, the report鈥檚 Arizona section said. If the state isn鈥檛 prepared enough, 鈥淚t will cost more to deal with these threats when they happen down the road,鈥?said Richard Wiles, a senior vice president for the group.鈥淚f you prepare now, you can save money or lives,鈥?Wiles said.鈥淭he threats we are looking at are about things that are pretty evident today,鈥?Wiles added. 鈥淟ook at the extreme heat in the Southwest. Arizona is one of the most-quickly warming states in the lower 48. You鈥檝e seen how that plays out with snowpack melting earlier and a longer wildfire season.鈥?/p>But officials of the Arizona Department of Water Resources and state forester Jeff Whitney said their agencies have done far more to prepare for drought and wildfire risks than the report gives them credit for. The Arizona Department of Health Services, which deals with health impacts related to extreme heat, didn鈥檛 respond to requests from the Star to comment on the report.In particular, Arizona is believed to be far ahead of the country in its water management. That鈥檚 due to its 1980 Groundwater Management Act and to its use of artificial recharge to store 9 million acre-feet of Central Arizona Project water for future shortages.Part of the disagreement stems from Climate Central鈥檚 standards for grading states. The group looked at whether state officials have plans assessing future vulnerability to heat, drought and wildfire, and whether they have published specific plans for adapting to them. In many cases, the answer was no, the group said.State officials said the group鈥檚 criteria didn鈥檛 account for their actions.鈥淚n my years at ADWR and in my prior job at the city of Phoenix, I鈥檝e seen groups like this, who, when you don鈥檛 have a specific plan labeled 鈥榗limate-change adaptation,鈥?they sometimes tend to discount the elements you have in place that essentially would be adaptation actions for climate-change impacts,鈥?said Tom Buschatzke, the state water agency鈥檚 director.鈥淣o, we don鈥檛 have a report that鈥檚 titled 鈥楥limate-Change Risks鈥?or 鈥楥limate-Change Adaption Report,鈥?but we do factor in climate variability as we鈥檙e planning for drought,鈥?added Michelle Moreno, a water department spokeswoman.Kathy Jacobs, a former top state water official who runs a University of Arizona climate research center, agreed the state has a 鈥渧ery advanced鈥?water-management system governing five active management areas in populated areas of Central and Southern Arizona. Arizona is better-prepared than most states to deal with short- and medium-term droughts, said Jacobs, director of UA鈥檚 Center for Climate Adaptation Science and Solutions.But she also took the state to task on several other points, including its lack of programs and regulations governing water use in the rest of the state, 鈥渁ll of which will be affected by these droughts.鈥?/p>She also noted major budget cuts the Legislature imposed in recent years on the water department. The department鈥檚 budget and staff are down from $22.8 million and 236 employees in fiscal year 2007-08 to $15.2 million and 111 employees for fiscal 2015-16.鈥淵ou can鈥檛 do resilience planning for climate change in the context of no water- management staff,鈥?said Jacobs, former director of the department鈥檚 since-shuttered Tucson Active Management Area office. 鈥淭he entire water-management division was essentially eliminated. There are four people left out of what was 60.鈥?/p>Spokeswoman Moreno said a recent water initiative launched by Gov. Doug Ducey is adding five staffers to the department.鈥淲hile it is true that ADWR鈥檚 budget and staffing have been significantly reduced over the years, we have survived and have adopted the lean mindset of maximizing efficiencies,鈥?Moreno said.Also because of that water initiative, ADWR will initially focus efforts on rural areas, work with those communities to define their water-resource issues and identify strategies to help them meet demand, Moreno said.Today, Arizona鈥檚 drought threat is below-average among 36 states the Climate Central report assessed for drought. But by 2050, Arizona is predicted to experience one of the biggest increases nationally in summer drought, raising its overall threat to above-average, the report said. Arizona鈥檚 2014 drought-<style> #video-ad-asset-container, #video-ad-asset-container-played max-height: 0px; overflow: hidden; -webkit-transition: max-height 1s; -moz-transition: max-height 1s; transition: max-height 1s; #video-ad-asset-container.expand max-height: 800px; </style> <video id="video-ad-asset" class="video-responsive video-js vjs-default-skin"></video> preparedness plan includes a 10-year action plan to safeguard water supplies, in part by settling issues of allocation among neighboring states, the report said.鈥淏ut this plan does not account for the effects of climate change, nor is there evidence of dedicated funding, policies or guidelines for addressing future drought resiliency challenges,鈥?the report said.But Arizona鈥檚 requirement for all public water systems serving at least 15 connections or 25 year-round residents to have a drought-management plan is just as valuable for dealing with climate impacts as an adaptation plan, the department鈥檚 Buschatzke said. The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation鈥檚 2012 Colorado River Basin study and a separate study that the water department and Arizona State University did for Phoenix鈥檚 Salt River Project both looked at potential climate change impacts on water supplies, he said.As for wildfires, Climate Central noted that Arizona already ranks second nationally in the number of days each year with high wildfire potential, but that the state has taken strong action to prepare for that risk. But by 2050, the number of such days each year is expected to rise from 80 to 115, second only to California, and 2.9 million people will be at risk of being impacted by such fires, the report said.鈥淎rizona has taken limited action to understand its future wildfire risks, but like most states, it has taken almost no action to plan for or adopt wildfire-related adaptation measures,鈥?the report said.But in a news release, Whitney said the state is making great strides toward reducing wildfires.鈥淯nfortunately, the national forests within Arizona鈥檚 borders have suffered decades of mismanagement by the federal government,鈥?Whitney said. 鈥淔lawed forestry practices and a lack of a timber industry in our state have resulted in forests that are densely overgrown and prone to disease, insect infestation and catastrophic wildfire.鈥?/p>He pointed to two steps taken by the federal governments to cut wildfire risks: the White Mountain Stewardship program that has thinned smaller trees from more than 49,000 acres in East-Central Arizona鈥檚 Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest and the Four Forest Restoration Initiative, which seeks to thin 50,000 acres a year over 20 years in four Northern and Central Arizona national forests.In a state program known as Firewise, officials work with about 67 communities to make them aware of wildfire threats on 13 million acres of pi帽on-juniper woodland, among other places, he said. His office is also starting a website AZWRAP, designed to provide an opportunity to assess wildfire risks to communities statewide. Contact reporter Tony Davis at tdavis@azstarnet.com or 806-7746.

Mrs Sonora Vasquez, thanks for the memories and sad to hear of all the businesses that have closed I had been looking up some info on your cities fire department and came across your article. John Cravea was my uncle and Godfather and Joseph Cravea, and Evaristo Cravea were of course my uncles as well. My grandmother was Josephine Lucchelli and of course Frank and Pauline Lucchelli were family that lived in San Juan Bautista as well. Your story brings back great memories of me growing up around the Lucchelli and Cravea family. Robert 鈥淏ob鈥?Lucchelli and Joe Cravea used to take me around the fire house and i tried to get as many rides in the fire truck as possible. In the summers i practically lived in Uncle Johns Shoe store and would help him in his store. I frequently sat outside with him on the Liars Bench it was fun to hear all the stories and listen to the daily gossip of what was going on around town. On occasion i went out with Uncle Evaristo at the end of his mail runs and we usually stopped at Casa De Fruita for a shake or sweets. I always loved having the opportunity to watch Uncle Evaristo play at the Cutting Horse, talk about a passion he loved his band and his accordion.

MIDDLETOWN, Pa., Feb. 19, 2016 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- One Pennsylvania Lottery Cash4Life鈩?ticket sold in Chester County for the Thursday, February 18, drawing won a prize of $1,000 a week for life.

Please remember that 12 percent of our paycheck every two weeks is put into ASRS. So if the average salary during a 30-year career was $45,000 then 12 percent of that is about $5,400 of the teachers鈥?own money put into retirement. That is $162,000 of their money put into the ASRS. So, yes, collecting $3,000 a month is about right when compounding interest over that period.鈥?/p> <a href=http://www.coachonlineoutlet.us.com/>http://www.coachonlineoutlet.us.com</a>

You can book it now.Someone will then lower the banner that lists PCC鈥檚 All-Americans and add Stallworth鈥檚 name to a list that has grown so much that there is almost no space for Stallworth鈥檚 name.In the last eight years, coach Todd Holthaus鈥?women鈥檚 basketball team has produced eight first-team NJCAA All-Americans. Stallworth, a freshman from Palo Verde High School, will be No. 9.Amazing.But at the Aztecs practice Tuesday afternoon, Stallworth wouldn鈥檛 bite on questions about being the ACCAC鈥檚 Player of the Year, or about being an All-American or about Pima鈥檚 chances of winning a national championship next week in Kansas.鈥淚f you think about that stuff you get a big head,鈥?she said. 鈥淭his is about our team, not me. We鈥檝e got a lot of work to do.鈥?/p>Next question.The Aztecs are the No.鈥? seed for the Division II NJCAA championships. This isn鈥檛 new territory; Holthaus coached Pima to the title game in 2011. He is 194-98 in nine remarkably successful years at the school.As he watched his team go through drills Tuesday, Holthaus shook his head when Stallworth buried a deep three-pointer, a catch-and-shoot, 2-feet-behind the three-point-line shot the way Gabe York does it at Arizona.鈥淪he鈥檚 a pit bull,鈥?he said. 鈥淵ou get a player like that, and you鈥檝e got a chance.鈥?/p>Sydni Stallworth is 5 feet 3 inches tall. She averaged 15.7 points for a balanced PCC offense this year and runs the offense like a pit bull protecting his turf.鈥淵ou rarely see someone with a motor like Syd has,鈥?said Pima assistant coach Jim Rosborough, who has coached motor-driven players like Damon Stoudamire and Jason Gardner to the Final Four. 鈥淓verybody feeds off her.鈥?/p>Pima Community College鈥檚 rise as a national power in women鈥檚 college basketball is no longer a novelty. It鈥檚 almost taken for granted that the Aztecs will win 20 or more games in the ACCAC, which is probably the nation鈥檚 top junior-college basketball conference. With four region championships in eight years, four trips to the NJCAA championships, Holthaus seems to successfully reload, year after year after year.You forget how difficult it can be.On Tuesday, for example, assistant coach Chris Klassen told Holthaus that their little pit bull had played so hard that she had blown out her shoes and needed a new pair.鈥淟et me see your shoes,鈥?Holthaus said.Stallworth鈥檚 once-white Adidas, now smudged and worn after four months of basketball, had indeed sprung a leak. The tip of her right shoe had become unstitched and unglued.鈥淟et鈥檚 get you another pair,鈥?the coach said.鈥淏ut these are my lucky shoes,鈥?Stallworth insisted.鈥淭hey are falling apart,鈥?said Holthaus.鈥淧lease let me keep them,鈥?she said.This is when you realize that basketball at Pima College isn鈥檛 the same as basketball at a Nike-sponsored school such as Arizona, which has its own shoe store, in sizes, colors and models not available at the local mall.<style> #video-ad-asset-container, #video-ad-asset-container-played max-height: 0px; overflow: hidden; -webkit-transition: max-height 1s; -moz-transition: max-height 1s; transition: max-height 1s; #video-ad-asset-container.expand max-height: 800px; </style> <video id="video-ad-asset" class="video-responsive video-js vjs-default-skin"></video> To get their Player of the Year a new pair of Adidas, Pima must order the shoes through a Phoenix distributor and wait a few days.鈥淚鈥檝e got a pair of yellow shoes,鈥?said Stallworth. 鈥淢aybe I can wear those.鈥?/p>It makes what Holthaus and the Aztecs have done that much more impressive. Eleven of the 15 players PCC will take to the NJCAA championships played high school basketball in Southern Arizona. When assistant coach Pete Fajardo drives to Phoenix to scout and recruit a potential prospect, he pays for his own gasoline.Third-team All-ACCAC forward Shalise Fernander, a standout from Flowing Wells High School, not only attends school full time, she works a regular shift at Culver鈥檚.鈥淪he has been their Employee of the Month,鈥?Holthaus said, beaming.Second-team All-ACCAC guard Denesia Smith, who was a star at Cienega High School, fills time between school and basketball by working at Home Depot.The makeup of this PCC team, and of many junior college teams, can be fascinating. One of the top additions to the 鈥?5-16 Aztecs is Erin Peterson, who graduated from Catalina Foothills High School in 2011. She was one of the state鈥檚 top 100- and 200-meter runners, but now, as a 23-year-old freshman at PCC, Peterson is an invaluable off-the-bench player, averaging five points per game.鈥淲e don鈥檛 overpower people, but we鈥檙e deep and athletic,鈥?said Holthaus. 鈥淥ur speed gives other teams problems.鈥?/p>When Pima won the region championship last weekend, the Aztecs鈥?gymnasium was standing-room only. Fans had to stand on the upper concourse to get a view of a team that appears to be peaking at the right time; it beat second-seeded Mesa College 78-54.鈥淚t鈥檚 funny, but when I was hired (in 2007), a newspaper article said coaching the women鈥檚 basketball team was the 鈥楧eath Valley of coaching,鈥欌€夆€?Holthaus said. 鈥淥n Saturday, we had more people in this gym than I鈥檝e ever seen. It has been quite a ride.鈥?/p>The Aztecs are no longer riding. They will fly to Kansas City early Sunday morning.They鈥檝e been on a high all year.
