One year later, UA president still striving for greatness

STEPHANIE CASANOVA Arizona Summer Wildcat

Since she first arrived on campus one year ago, UA President Ann Weaver Hart has worked to better the university, impressing administration, government and business leaders along the way. Named the UA’s first female president on July 1, 2012, Hart has appointed multiple senior administrators, helped to create a new academic plan and gotten to

know a variety of business leaders and Arizona legislators, including the Arizona Board of Regents and Gov. Jan Brewer. Her academic plan, which has had input from more than 4,000 people, is intended to help students apply what they learn outside of the classroom, as well as encourage students and faculty members to find new ways to apply knowledge. “The academic plan … is very much structured around what we do best at the University of Arizona,” Hart

said, adding that executing the new academic plan is her biggest goal in moving forward as president of the UA. One goal is to increase partnerships between the UA, other businesses and the city of Tucson, in order to meet goals for the community. The plan is now in its execution phase, and Hart, administrators and faculty members have started to work on a budget that will ensure these goals will be met. J.C. Mutchler, executive director

Hart Q& A reflects on first year at UA STEPHANIE CASANOVA Arizona Summer Wildcat

What has surprised you the most about the UA? What surprised me most about the University of Arizona … was a combination of incredible pride and uncertainty in the face of major challenge. And by that I mean the U of A is a marvelous institution with a grand tradition of accomplishments. You place that in a context where there have been so many changes, the loss of $180 [million], $190 million dollars of state funding and the challenges of the last four or five years, and it presents perilous opportunities for change and development, but under pretty intense pressure. What has been the biggest change or adjustment you’ve had to make since you moved to Tucson? I feel very much at home here, so I’m not sure I would describe it as a big change or adjustment, but the culture of every state in which I’ve worked in higher education is a bit different, and it’s important to get to know the place where you’re working. I’ve focused a lot on getting to know our legislators, understanding and knowing and having a relationship with the governor, working with our Board of Regents and really trying to get an in-depth sense of the kind of place we are. Reflecting on your year here as a whole, what has it been like for you? I have been increasingly impressed with the incredible intelligence, knowledge and pride that everyone associated with the University of Arizona articulates and along with that growing appreciation for how hard people work and how committed they are.

Yarnell Hill fire claims lives of 19 firefighters mcclatchy tribune

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. — Nineteen firefighters died Sunday while battling a fast-moving wildfire northwest of Phoenix, the worst firefighter loss of life in a wildland blaze since 1933. The firefighters went missing while fighting the Yarnell Hill fire, an out-of-control blaze that had engulfed the evacuated community of Yarnell, population 649, burning down much of the town, officials said. An estimated 200 structures were lost. The firefighters belonged to the Granite Mountain Interagency Hotshot Crew, an elite unit sponsored by a fire department in nearby Prescott, where residents were grieving through social media after word of the deaths arrived Sunday night. “This is as dark a day as I can remember,” Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer said in a statement. “It may be days or longer before an investigation reveals how this tragedy occurred, but the essence we already know in our hearts: fighting fires is dangerous work.” The blaze was sparked Friday by lightning, officials said, and remained out of control. Officials lost radio contact with the crew at 4:30 p.m., said Steve Skurja, assistant spokesman for the Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office. A helicopter crew spotted the bodies, he said. He said all of the firefighters had deployed their fire shelters — an emergency measure when there is no escape. Skurja confirmed that 19 members of the 20-person crew had died. One survivor was hospitalized with injuries, he said, but he did not know the firefighter’s condition. “The fire was very aggressive. It just overtook them,” Skurja said. Roxie Glover, a spokeswoman for Wickenburg Community Hospital, said officials had told her to expect injured firefighters. Then the grim news arrived. “It became clear that the firefighters had been The City of Prescott has released the names of the 19 firefighters who lost their lives on Sunday fighting the Yarnell Hill fire: Ashcraft, Andrew - Age: 29 Caldwell, Robert - Age: 23 Carter, Travis - Age: 31 Deford, Dustin - Age: 24 MacKenzie, Christopher - Age: 30 Marsh, Eric - Age: 43 McKee, Grant - Age: 21 Misner, Sean - Age: 26 Norris, Scott - Age: 28 Parker, Wade - Age: 22 Percin, John - Age: 24 Rose, Anthony - Age: 23 Steed, Jesse - Age: 36 Thurston, Joe - Age: 32 Turbyfill, Travis - Age: 27 Warneke, William - Age: 25 Whitted, Clayton - Age: 28 Woyjeck, Kevin - Age: 21 Zuppiger, Garret - Age: 27

deceased,” Glover said. “We were told that we were not getting firefighters.” But homeowners flooded in, suffering from smoke inhalation as well as shock at losing their homes, she said. Sunday’s incident appears to be the deadliest in modern wildland firefighting. The previous highest number of deaths in a fire came in Colorado on July 6, 1994. There, at Storm King Mountain near Glenwood Springs, 14 firefighters were trapped when a wind-driven blaze blew up a hill. Since the 1950s — until Sunday — only three other wildfires had claimed the lives of 10 or more firefighters, and each prompted changes in safety regulations and training. According to National Interagency Fire Center statistics, Sunday’s deaths were the worst since 1933, when a fire in Los Angeles’ Griffith Park killed at least 25 firefighters. Officials said some of the Arizona firefighters had been found in fire shelters in the area, where winds occasionally exceeding 40 mph helped fan the flames in 95-degree heat. Deploying a fire shelter is typically a “last desperate step” for survival, said Timothy Ingalsbee, executive director of Firefighters United for Safety, Ethics and Ecology. “That means they have been trapped.” A couple dozen firefighters are killed on average each year, he said, but 19 firefighters dying in one fire is a “horrific tragedy.” When they are fighting fast-moving fires and trying to save lives and property, “firefighters are put into this no-man’s land, having to make these heroic stands ... against the unstoppable force of wildfires,” he said. Prescott Fire Chief Dan Fraijo appeared grim in a late-night news conference. “Emotionally? We’re devastated,” Fraijo said. “We just lost 19 of some of the finest people you’re ever going to meet. Right now we’re in crisis. ... Truly, we’re going through a terrible crisis right now.” — Source: City of Prescott Press Release

On Monday, UA President Hart sent an email to all UA employees regarding the events. “Our thoughts and prayers also go out to the many Yarnell residents who, in addition to grieving for the loss of the fallen heroes, also lost homes and businesses to this devastating and deadly wildfire,” Hart said in her email. “The Wildcat family has been touched as well, for at least one of the fallen firefighters was a UA alum. Words cannot express the sadness and sorrow we feel at times of such inexplicable loss. These firefighters bravely made the ultimate sacrifice to protect the lives and property of their fellow citizens. We honor their courage and selflessness as we mourn with their families, friends, fellow firefighters and the nation.” The name of the UA alumnus has not yet been confirmed.

Tucson needs local shops, adds charm and quirk Casey knox Arizona Summer Wildcat

ucson is one of the most cultured cities in the state of Arizona, defined by starving artists, warm community members, and mom-and-pop shops. The shops that line Fourth Avenue and Congress Street are now seeing a decrease in revenue, thanks to the streetcar construction. As an advocate for the Tucson community and member of many committees, Miguel Ortega has taken the initiative to help these struggling shops by launching a campaign called “Move Your Meetings.” This community-driven campaign is designed to encourage struggling stores to host local business meetings, in the efforts of generating revenue. Chocolate Iguana, The Hopyard, Caffe Luce, and The District Tavern, all participated in the “Move Your Meetings” kickoff on June 21, in the hope that people will move their meetings from the confines of conference rooms to local coffee shops. “The mom-and-pops that don’t make it this summer are not going to survive at all,” Ortega told the Arizona Daily Star. Hopefully, the money gained by this initiative will be enough to keep these stores above water until their business picks up again during the fall season. For some businesses, however, the damage has already been done. As a direct result of the streetcar construction, Enoteca Pizzeria and Wine Bar located on Congress Street off of Church Avenue, has shut its doors. Restaurant owner Rick Sabbagh told the Arizona Daily Star that construction created financial distress thus leading to its demise. Ortega is pushing the publicity of “Move Your Meetings,” as he believes it will prevent owners like Sabbagh from pulling the plug on their oncepopular businesses. But why does it matter?

Why should anyone care whether or not these local businesses are able to economically thrive throughout their slowest months? The fact is Tucson needs its local shops. The hanging welcome signs and colorful exteriors of these businesses are what give Tucson charm. What would this city be without “that-little-shopon-the-corner-of-so-and-so?” It would be nothing short of dull and depressing. Café Passe is the perfect example of a restaurant that contributes to the favored appeal of Fourth Avenue and Congress Street. The atmosphere of this small eatery is welcoming and relaxed, from its hardwood floors to the quirky art that hangs on the walls. Café Passe is also a member of many local organizations and business efforts, such as a non-profit called Local First Arizona, and the Food Conspiracy Co-Op, which is also found on Fourth Avenue. Most importantly, the service provided by employees of this urban little restaurant trumps that of any large-scale franchise. What makes this area of Tucson so special are these small-chain, local businesses. They are run by community members trying to make a living with the support of our community. Their incentive isn’t to make millions like consumerdriven corporations and fast food chains. They thrive on community involvement and creating a memorable experience for their guests. From University Boulevard to Congress, and everything in between, these shops bring in bustling business from coffee-lovers, meateaters, and intellectuals. Whether it’s Caffe Luce’s warm environment, or Chocolate Iguanas’ delicate pastries, Tucson flourishes on the uniqueness of each shop. “Move Your Meetings” may be the push these little shops need to keep them alive and well for the duration of the summer, in the hopes that students and Tucson residents are able enjoy the charm of these shops years down the road. — Casey Knox is a sophomore studying journalism.

Immigration bill can only survive with collaboration

Brian peel Arizona Summer Wildcat

ompromise has become a dirty word in politics lately. Reaching across the aisle to work in a bipartisan matter has been construed as neglecting and abandoning one’s own party, even when cooperation would likely benefit the American people in the long run. This selfish nature of partisan politics has been especially evident in Congress where progress is minimal, even for the most routine of legislation. In June, only 6 percent of voters gave a Congress a positive rating and they are the individuals with the most direct voice of the American people to Washington. But despite the anemic showing from Congress in the last few years, things started to get a little better last week. After six months of debate and negotiation, a new immigration bill was finally pushed through the Senate with a 68 to 32 vote that saw every Democrat and 14 Republicans approve the legislation that had been negotiated and debated for the past six months. This was a step in the right direction, with both sides seeing the benefits of proposed new immigration laws — the first since 1986. The drafted bill saw provisions that favored both parties’ visions on immigration reform and exemplified how compromise to reach a favorable solution is possible. Democrats — who support greater amnesty — would see millions of undocumented workers in the country gain citizenship status, but not before a 13 year process that includes learning English and paying various legal fees. Republicans on the other hand support the new security measures at the border that will double the amount of Border Patrol agents while also adding 700 miles worth of new fencing.

While the new bill isn’t cheap — coming in at around $50 billion according to the Washington Post — it’s necessary given the poor state of our current immigration system. The undocumented workers who have been here for years — and call it home — deserve a chance at American citizenship after helping drive our agricultural and service industry while receiving minimal wages. They have paid their dues and deserve an equal chance at becoming American citizens. At the same time, our border does need to be secured more effectively, not only to keep people from illegally entering our country but also to prevent more unnecessary deaths for those trying to cross our deserts. Perhaps no state in the country is more affected by illegal immigration than Arizona and it seems everyone here has some opinion on the matter. But when all is said and done, most can agree that finding a solution that is both humane and effective is the right way to go. Beyond the economic and moral obligations to pass the bill, Republicans also have another added benefit, the potential of more Latino support in elections. Reestablishing support from Latinos is key for Republicans in future elections according to CNN, as Latinos make up 16 percent of the country’s population and are also the fastestgrowing minority. Instead of alienating Latinos, Republicans need to relate better to problems that affect them instead of just looking to please the middle-age, white vote. The immigration bill is at least a start — even Fox News conservative pundit Bill O’Reilly understands that. “It’s not perfect, but it’s the right thing to do. The Republican Party has a lot to lose here. If it doesn’t compromise, many Hispanic voters will reject the GOP entirely, pretty much dooming the party in the future,” O’Reilly said. This is a far cry from the Republicanbacked concept of self-deportation that was considered as recently as last November. The Senate did its job for once last week by passing the bill and moving a very complicated issue closer to a solution, but it is still a long way from becoming law. The House of Representatives may be a bigger mess than the Senate and with a Republican majority, things don’t look great for the bill passing in the House — at least not before drastic amendments are made to it. It’s great news we finally reached a compromise, but how much of it was really a sacrifice of political beliefs, or just a way to pander to an important demographic is difficult to determine at this point. Let’s hope for the sake of good politics, it’s the former. —Brian Peel is a senior studying history. He can be reached at letters@wildcat.arizona.edu or via Twitter @WildcatsOpinons.

Draft gamble pays off for young Jerrett

Hill, Jerrett headed to NBA

kyle johnson Arizona Summer Wildcat

hen news broke in mid-April that freshman forward Grant Jerrett was leaving Arizona to enter the NBA draft, the most immediate reaction was — him? Sure, the Wildcats had plenty of pro talent on the roster and have even more coming in with five-star forward Aaron Gordon. And when the trio of freshmen bigs came to Tucson, it was with the understanding that each of the three would eventually bolt early for greener pastures. But that was when each player had boundless potential. Not after they (ahem, Jerrett) averaged 17.8 minutes and 5.2 points per game off the bench for a No. 6 seed in the NCAA tournament. It was a baffling decision by Jerrett, even with Gordon committing to the UA two weeks prior and clogging up the frontcourt. Basically Jerrett bet against himself — admitting that he couldn’t earn enough playing time in Sean Miller’s rotation — while betting on himself that he’d be an NBA draft pick despite being on zero teams’ draft radars at the time. That’s not exactly what a Vegas sharp would call a “good bet.” Sometimes, though, it’s better to be lucky than good and Jerrett’s decision paid out as well as he ever could have hoped for. After sitting outside even the furthest reaches of mock drafts early on, Jerrett quickly rose up the boards and was eventually snatched by the Trail Blazers at the 40th pick before they promptly traded him to Oklahoma City. You might be asking, how is going in the mid-second round to a team that drafted two big men (center Steven Adams and forward Andre Roberson) before him good fortune? It’s simple — he was drafted to a team that clearly wants him. As a second-round pick, Jerrett isn’t guaranteed a contract. The fact that the Thunder traded cash to get his rights from

GRANT JERRETT went 40th overall to Portland before being traded to Oklahoma City.

James Kelley Arizona Summer Wildcat

Over the years Arizona men’s basketball has earned the nickname Point Guard U. After the selections of senior Solomon Hill and freshman Grant Jerrett last Thursday, the name NBA U might be more appropriate. The Indiana Pacers selected Hill with the 23rd pick in the first round and the Portland Trail Blazers drafted Jerrett with the 10th pick in the second round. Portland then dealt Jerrett, the 40th overall pick, to the Oklahoma City Thunder for cash. “I’m very thankful for the opportunity, but I just woke up [Thursday] morning with no expectations and I just wanted to enjoy the day,” Hill said in a telephone press conference after the draft. Arizona has had 65 players drafted by the pros since 1948. Hill, who was not expected to be a first round draft pick and was not even in some mock drafts, was the 18th first-round pick in Arizona history and the Wildcats’ fourth first-rounder since 2008.

World class paralympian faces another challenge JAMES KELLEY Arizona Summer Wildcat

lana Nichols’ inopportune injury in late June will make the defense of her two Paralympic winter gold medals difficult. But if anyone is good at playing catch up, it’s this University of Arizona alumnae. Nichols, the first female American athlete to win gold medals in both summer and winter Paralympic Games, injured her rotator cuff in preparation for the 2014 Paralympics in Sochi, Russia. The injury will require surgery and cause Nichols to miss training in Australia, New Zealand and Austria. “It’s gonna put me out three to six months, which means I won’t have any summer training and I basically will have to make up a ton during the race season, like starting in December,” Nichols said. “So I’m gonna be playing catch up, but I’m trying to stay in the best shape that I can.” Nichols, who graduated from the UA in 2006, started competing internationally in alpine skiing after winning world championships on the USA women’s wheelchair basketball team. Nichols has competed in three Paralympic Games. She won a gold medal in Beijing in 2008 for basketball. In 2010 in Vancouver, she won two golds, a silver and a bronze in skiing, and the 2012 games in London, where USA finished fourth in basketball. Nichols said she didn’t expect to become the first female athlete to win gold in both the summer and winter Paralympic Games, especially since Vancouver was her first winter games. “On a scale of one to 10, it’s like a 15,” Nichols said. “It still kind of blows my mind that I made history. Nobody else can do that now, because I did it. It’s amazing, it honestly just blows my mind. It just happened and I got to be that person.” Going into her first winter Paralympic games, Nichols said she didn’t make winning gold a goal. “Well, I knew it was a possibility going into the Vancouver games, I was a rookie on the team in Vancouver,” Nichols said. “I just had to give it my all and I couldn’t really set those massive goals of winning gold or anything, I had just started really ski racing about two years prior to that I was just happy to be there, you know?” A softball star at Farmington High School in New Mexico, Nichols broke her back snowboarding when she was 17, causing her to be paralyzed. “I’ve been an athlete all my life, since I was five, I played three sports [softball, basketball and volleyball] throughout my younger

childhood and into my teenage years, until I broke my back,” Nichols said. “Being an athlete, it really helped build my confidence when I was a younger person and helped me set goals and achieve them.” About two years after her accident, Nichols said she decided she was finally ready to get back into the sports world that defined her childhood. She first started on the slopes after Sante Fe Mountains Resort gave her a scholarship. In 2002, Nichols learned about Arizona’s wheelchair basketball program, headed by current men’s wheelchair basketball coach Derek Brown. Nichols decided to make the switch to Arizona. “I didn’t even know there were other women my age in wheelchairs, let alone a team and possibly being able to compete on a scholarship to the University of Arizona,” Nichols said. She decided to move out to Tucson that summer, first attending Pima Community College before she tried to get into the UA. “It was a really big move on my part … but I really wanted to play basketball and the coach [Brown] there was really excited to have me and saw lots of potential in me,” she said. A decade later, Nichols is one of the top paralympians in the world.

Cordes, Steel punch tickets for World Championships 1:01.14 while Steel touched the wall in seventh place (1:01.80). During his first event, Cordes fell just short of Akihiro Yamaguchi’s world-record of 2:07.01, but still managed to finish with the best mark in the world this season. The Naperville, Ill., native beat all competition in the 200y-breaststroke event with a time of 2:08.34, clearing Vyacheslav Sinkevich’s previous world season best of 2:08.62. Cordes also shattered his own personal best of 2:09.16 from that morning’s prelims. Cordes didn’t sweep the events, though, as fellow teammate Steel bested him in the 50y-breaststroke event with a time of 27.26. Cordes finished second with a time of 27.38. Steel’s time shattered his U.S. Open record of 27.33 from prelims and topped the previous best mark of 27.34 set by Mark Gangloff. Steel’s time is now the third fastest in the world. Olympian Matt Grevers, who swims for the Tucson Ford Dealers Aquatics, earned a spot on the national team, placing second with his 53.23 time in the 100y-backstroke event.

Arizona swimmers Kevin Steel and Kevin Cordes captured first-place finishes last weekend at the Phillips 66 Nationals and World Championship Trials in Indianapolis. It earned them a spot at the FINA World Championship in Barcelona, Spain starting July 19. Steel, a senior next season, broke his own record to win the 50y-breaststroke, while Cordes, a junior, placed first in the 100 and 200y-breaststroke. Only the top two finalists of each event qualify for World Championships. The five-day meet concluded with the finals on Saturday. Cordes already had the 200-yard title and added to it with a first place finish in the 100y-breaststroke event. Cordes compiled a time of 59.99 in the finals and is now in possession of the third fastest time in the world rankings. He became the third sub-1:00 time this year. Former Wildcat Clark Burckle finished after Cordes in the event, placing fifth, with a time of

JERRETT from page 8

Portland shows they’re clearly interested in signing him. For a player in that range, he’ll likely get league minimum around $500,000. Oklahoma City also has shown it likes projects, playing draft-bust Hasheem Thabeet 11.7 minutes per game and loading up on prospects like Baylor’s Perry Jones. With a wealth of young talent (and since the Thunder are one of the NBA’s top teams), Jerrett will likely see a lot of action in the D-League next year. Even if it’s with the Tulsa 66ers, Jerrett will still get paid his NBA contract and can be sent up or down whenever the Thunder choose. As unappealing as that sounds, and as dumb as the initial decision to leave the UA first seemed, Jerrett actually made the right choice. With Gordon coming to Tucson, the frontcourt minutes obviously shrunk for lesser players. Most of those covering the Wildcats assumed that just meant forward Angelo Chol would transfer (and he eventually fulfilled that prophecy). It looks like Jerrett too was afraid of his minutes getting slashed, and if that was the case, then declaring for the NBA Draft was his only option. Playing less than 10 minutes a game next season would’ve ruined his stock; transferring would’ve been even worse. Instead Jerrett took the leap, made the right choice for himself. He also ruined his Arizona legacy. But, with a nice little pay day coming his way,

Arizona Summer Wildcat • 11 I don’t think he’ll lose any sleep. Jerrett’s decision to leave obviously hurt Arizona’s depth, but Miller’s squad is still loaded. Some fans undoubtedly were upset, but with such a winning program, fans have short memories. Just ask someone about Marcus Williams. The former Arizona guard/forward pulled a Jerrett back in 2007, bolting for the NBA after his sophomore season. Williams led Arizona in scoring (16.6 points) and was second in rebounds (6.7), earning All-Pac-10 First Team nod, but he was overshadowed by freshman phenom Chase Budinger. Arizona had an early first round exit in the tournament, though with two five-stars coming in (Jerryd Bayless and Jamelle Horne), it looked like Arizona would be primed for a deep run — the perfect chance for Williams to prove his credentials on the big stage. Instead, Williams curiously left for the NBA. He was picked 33rd overall and only played in 13 NBA games before going overseas. He also got banned by the Chinese Basketball Association for cannabis use in 2012, but that’s another story. Jerrett didn’t come close to the college success of Williams, but at least he left when his stock was high. And as Williams proved, even if you spurn your fans and then crash and burn in the NBA, you’ll quickly be forgotten not despised. Neither Jerrett nor Williams will have their jerseys retired in McKale Center. But Jerrett shouldn’t care. He’s on the Thunder now.

NBA DRAFT from page 8

when the New York Knicks picked Jordan Hill eighth and the Detroit Pistons drafted Chase Budinger 44th overall. In 2001, four former UA players were drafted — Richard Jefferson (13th), Gilbert Arenas (31st), Michael Wright (39th) and Loren Woods (46th). Robertas Javtokas (56th) was also drafted in 2001, but he only played eight games at Arizona before he returned to Lithuania. Pacers team president and Hall of Fame forward Larry Bird said the former Wildcat will be a “great fit” in Indiana during Hill’s introductory press conference Monday. “I’m very happy to have Solomon be a part of our team,” Bird said. While Hill’s college experience helped push him up the draft board to Indiana, Jerrett’s

By the numbers:

— At least one Wildcat player has been selected in 21 of the last 25 NBA Drafts, including 16 first-round selections and 11 lottery picks. In fact, nine of Arizona’s last 11 first round selections were lottery picks. ESPN ranked Arizona No. 6 in its list of NBA talent producing schools. — According to the UA, former Wildcats will have earned over $960 million by next

potential helped boost his stock as well. The one-and-done Jerrett has company too, as Arizona has had 12 underclassmen enter the draft before him. Ten of the 12 players lasted at least a few seasons in the NBA, with Wright and Marcus Williams, a member of the 2007 draft class, being the exceptions. There were three former UA students selected in the 2013 draft, with the Trail Blazers picking two in a row — Kansas senior center Jeff Withey 39th and then Jerrett. Withey attended Arizona for a semester, but transferred before playing. It’s also never too early to look ahead and the UA is expected to continue producing more draft picks next year. “Draft Express” has incoming freshman forward Aaron Gordon as No. 3 pick in its 2014 mock draft. Also, nbadraft.net has Arizona sophomore center Kaleb Tarczewski going No. 14 to the Utah Jazz.

Whether you are looking to spend the Fourth of July in Tucson at weekend-long festivities with your family or with friends at an 8-hour Eegee’s-filled movie marathon, these events are definitely worth checking out. If you want a place to take the whole family, then book your stay at the JW Marriott Tucson Starr Pass Resort and Spa for its annual July 4 Experience. In her article “Our Summer Staycation at JW Marriott Starr Pass,” blogger Nicole Bateman said, “We stayed for two nights over the 4th of July weekend. It was the first time we have been to Starr Pass and it was absolutely amazing. Our room (when we were in it) was clean, beautifully decorated and quiet. We had a balcony with the best photo courtesy of Steven Soloway view in the entire resort.” Moviegoers line up at concession stands at The Loft as part of the Fourth of July activities. “Jaws” is one of the films being shown Guests will enjoy this year. a dive-in movie, resort rubber [“Jaws”] is set on the Fourth of duck-hunt, bubble July.

If you are already excited to finally begin using the Tucson Modern Streetcar in 2014, a project that has been under construction since March 2012, now you have one more reason. Collaborating with the launch of the streetcar, the UA Poetry Center will be adding its own artistic flair to the long-awaited transit project with custom LCD poetry “reader boards” at nine of the 17 streetcar stops. “While we are still developing the process by which we will provide poetry content to the reader boards, we know that we will be submitting short poems to the City of Tucson on a regular basis,” said Gail Browne, the executive director of the UA Poetry Center who will be replaced by Tyler Meier this coming fall. Meier and the Poetry Center will be tasked with procuring and clearing licensing rights to various poems that reflect the current season or specific values of the Tucson community. Browne was approached by Tucson artists Ben Olmstead, a UA alumnus, and Simon Donavon, who both excel in fine art and performance art mediums, to develop the poetry boards. Donavon and Olmstead are no strangers to high-grade street art, having worked on installations at Reid Park Zoo, Tucson International Airport and the iconic Diamondback Bridge, a gigantic pathway that resembles one of the desert’s most feared snakes. While there is art to be curated for each of the stops, it’s the blending of the Poetry Center’s top-notch literary contributions, and
