SIERRA VISTA —With two weeks until Buena High School graduates line up to enjoy one of the unique community events of the year, the organizers of Project Graduation are voicing concerns that too few donations have been received.

Dee Foster, a spokeswoman for the event, said at least 300 items are usually available through the “Buck Store,” the place where seniors trade their “bucks,” for graduation
gifts.

Held in the middle of Fry Boulevard between North Garden Avenue and North Street, the fair featured more vendors, more food, and more fun than it did last year. And despite a little wind, the weather also seemed more favorable than it had in past years.

SIERRA VISTA — The gradual and enduring effort of rebuilding the Buena baseball program passed a key milestone on Tuesday, as a 6-1 win over Santa Rita gave the Colts their 10th win of the season.

“Double-figures in wins was one of our goals,” second-year Buena head coach Johnny Bess said after the senior day win. “From two wins to 10 wins in just over a year shows we’re making some progress.”

Council hopefuls address the issues

When four candidates addressed a local Republican club on Friday night, one voiced a significantly different view from the other three on many key issues.

John George, Fredrick Stickler and Laura Bouchard all started their campaigns early in the election cycle, so many community members have likely heard their concerns regarding the city’s debt, which they assert is too high. Rachel Gray’s take on this, and several other issues, was different, as she voiced a desire to keep the city on a fiscally conservative path, which includes the use of “healthy debt.”

Low temperatures, high winds, and the occasional rain drop couldn’t kill the spirit of The Town Too Tough To Die on Saturday afternoon.

Despite the extra clothing required, the 17th annual Tombstone Rose Parade kicked off without a hitch, packing the dusty streets with so many visitors it was as if the local population had doubled overnight.

“I was certainly very pleased based on the weather. The wind was unbelievable,” said Penny Germaine, coordinator of the Rose Festival, which included a number of other events held throughout the day.

After surviving for nearly a century in the southern Arizona desert, the home of Pete Tunstall met its match when the Monument Fire swept through Hereford last summer.

In the days after, little but the walls built of stone and mortar were left on the nearly six acres that make up the historic property off of Ramsey Road, but now, thanks to the continued efforts of Tunstall’s friends and family, those remains are taking on new life.
