Drive hammered, get nailed BY matthew rein

Arizona Summer Wildcat

Drinking and driving arrests increase exponentially around Independence Day. Last year, during the holiday weekend, 534 people were arrested.

In 2014, according to the Arizona Governor’s Office of Highway Safety, there were 29,250 total DUI arrests in the state of Arizona. This means that a single weekend in July produced 1.8 percent of all DUI arrests during the year.

Journalism freshman Alexander Peet said, “The rate of DUIs would certainly escalate over Independence Day as holiday weekends are notorious for accidents caused by drunk driving.”

Adding on to this sobering opinion, the National Highway Safety and Traffic Administration reported that 40 percent of the traffic fatalities over the past five years during the Independence holiday have occurred due to drunk driving.

Even though DUI rates were still high in 2014, they are down 2,655 arrests from 2013 and 2,924 from 2012.

This decline is mostly due to the tireless work of Arizona police who make a concerted effort to stem DUIs and prevent impaired driving accidents, especially on holidays like July Fourth.

“We have put in more traffic

stops, more officers, and increased messaging, and we’re now seeing a decrease in the number of DUIs,” said AGOHS director Alberto Gutier.

Gutier believes prevention programs and awareness campaigns have had an immense effect in causing the number of year-round DUIs to drop. Gutier is now hoping this effort can translate into less drunk drivers on July Fourth.

For the upcoming holiday weekend, the AGOHS is continuing the slogan, “Drive Hammered, Get Nailed” on freeway message boards across the state in order to raise awareness, which Gutier calls the key to preventing DUIs and drunk driving.

Among the various sobriety checkpoints stationed throughout the city, Deputy Tom Peine said the Pima County Sheriff’s Office will have its own sobriety checkpoint, and will be conducting “saturation patrols.”

“These saturation patrols mean that extra officers will be out in specific locations and strategic points to catch people driving under the influence,” he added.

In addition to these saturation patrols, the entire DUI prevention squad will be out looking for suspicious drivers who might be driving under the influence.

According to Officer Joe Bermudez, crime prevention specialist for the University of

Law enforcement officers conduct “saturation patrols" at sobriety checkpoints located across the city on July Fourth. The entire DUI prevention squad will also be patrolling for suspicious drivers who might be driving impaired.

Arizona Police Department, the UA campus will have a similar set up on July Fourth.

Officer Bermudez added that, thanks to a grant from AGOHS, “[UAPD] will have additional officers within our jurisdiction to patrol the streets, and our officers will look specifically for drivers who might be under the influence.”

AnonGhost hacks, defaces UA websites

BY Alexis Wright

Arizona Summer Wildcat

Last weekend, around a dozen university websites were hacked by international hacktivist group AnonGhost.

In Nov. 2014, AnonGhost took control of the United Nations website in the wake of the Al-Aqsa mosque pressure. According to the International Business Times, the 15-person, pro-Palestinian group, founded

by Mauritania Attacker, is based in Africa, the Middle East and Europe.

IBT noted that the group has also taken over several websites internationally, including the Shropshire Fire and Rescue website, the Nottinghamshire Police website and, last weekend, the UA Museum of Art. “It’s never convenient to have your website go down,” said Gina Louise Competillo, the museum’s marketing manager.

AnonGhost’s invasion on the UAMA’s website is classified as web defacement.

According to Christian Schreiber, university information security officer, it is an unsophisticated attack on a website, similar to painting graffiti on a building.

Typically the websites are able to be attacked because the software is not up to date. This type of defacement is meant to attract attention and make a splash.

The group, not widely known until recently, is more focused on spreading a political message, than nabbing secure information.

“They want people to pay attention,”

Schreiber said. UAMA’s website defacement was temporary and rectified by Monday morning, but not without the efforts of those in the computer world.

Cynthia Barlow, the information technology manager, principal, for the College of Fine Arts, noted that she went through the computer system in a way similar to a homeowner going through a house that has been broken into: cataloging what is damaged, fixing the broken or outof-date software and changing the locks to patch the system up.

“Some people are always looking to do mischief,” Barlow said.

Speculators have associated the hacking group with Anonymous, an assumption that holds little water because of the groups’ differing ideologies.

According to Mic.com, Anonymous is a group that declares themselves the conveyor of Internet freedom. By scouring the Internet for websites and other groups to display the inner workings, Anonymous walks a fine line between helpful and devious, whereas AnonGhost focuses on gaining attention for less celebrated political causes.

Either way, both groups are causing damage to personal and public sites and forcing targets of interest that store information online to become creative in their security strategies.

Firework sales explode for July Fourth

BY Samuel GrosS Arizona Summer Wildcat

Effective Dec. 1, 2010, the state of Arizona made the sale and use of fireworks legal. This change has prompted a seasonal surge of roadside firework stands, as well as sparking new traditions for Tucson residents.

With Independence Day fast approaching, the city and residents of Tucson are gearing up for the pyrotechnic flare of both professional and amateur fireworks.

Arizona State firework law is relatively convoluted, and varies from county to county. Thanks to Senate Bill 1158, Pima and Maricopa County residents can be sure that their right to light and sell Fourth of July fireworks is protected. The exception is that the fireworks sold and used within

the county must be approved for sale and deemed “consumer fireworks.”

Approved consumer grade fireworks are still only legal at certain times of the year. May 20 was the first day this year residents could legally purchase fireworks in Tucson, and that window ends on July 6. Fireworks once again become available in the winter, from Dec. 10 to Jan. 3 — just in time to bring in the new year with a bang.

The dates that actual ignition of fireworks is legal differ slightly from the dates during which they are available for sale. The use of fireworks becomes legal from June 24 to July 6 and again from Dec. 24 to Jan. 3. If a Tucson resident were to choose not adhere to these legal use dates, they would face a $1,000 fine.

Barrett Baker, public

information officer for the Tucson Fire Department, is a voice of safety for this Fourth of July weekend. His advice for using approved fireworks is simple: Just be safe.

“Follow the instructions, be aware you are still handling something dangerous, and prepare for the worst,” Baker said. The most common calls to TFD during the Fourth of July are related to fireworks, such as burns to the hand and brushfires.

Baker could not overstate the importance of staying away from illegal, unapproved fireworks ­— particularly the ones that leave the ground and detonate in the air.

Of course, not all Tucson residents have followed the rules.

Sociology junior Katie Emory remembers driving over the New Mexico border to get fireworks

even before they became legal in 2010.

“Every trip my family took to New Mexico we would pick up fireworks,” Emory said. “My neighbors growing up always had fireworks, too, so we would go over there for the fourth.”

Here in Tucson, the legalization of consumer fireworks has sparked a new seasonal industry, and a competitive one at that. The local roadside fireworks stands that pop up all over the city are beginning to steal business from the large, well-established fireworks vendors just over the New Mexico border.

“Yeah, they don’t like us very much,” said Ernesto Valenzuela from ArizonaFireworks.com, a roadside fireworks stand on the corner of Park Avenue and Irvington Road. “In just four years of being open, we’ve gained a

good amount of clientele.”

Those large New Mexico vendors are trying to move in on the local fireworks stand’s territory. Phantom Fireworks, one of the large vendors with stands from coast to coast, is one of the popular firework sellers just over the New Mexico border with stands in the Tucson area.

Valenzuela isn’t worried, though.

“They are no competition,” he said. “Our customers come back to us because they know we have things that others do not.”

Red's Smokehouse opens Sept.

BY Sarah Pelfini

Arizona Summer Wildcat

In September, Pasco’s Kitchen and Lounge owner Ramiro Scavo will open a new eatery celebrating Arizonan barbecue on University Boulevard.

Since opening in 2011, Pasco’s has become a vital part of the university community and a mainstay for urban comfort food.

Scavo made the decision to open Red’s Smokehouse and Tap Room after noticing an absence of barbecue and creative uses of outdoor cooking in Tucson. He hopes to celebrate local flavors while “showcasing something home cooks and pit masters have been doing for years.”

Scavo is excited to bring something new to University Boulevard and maintain the same sense of community that has helped Pasco’s grow. He hopes to continue contributing to the “energy and buzz that is on the block” with his fresh interpretations of barbecue.

Having worked in a kitchen since the age of 14, Scavo understands the

Pasco's Kitchen & Lounge has served UA students and Tucson residents locally grown good since 2011. Their second restaurant, Red's Smokehouse and Tap Room, opens in September.

necessary elements to operating a restaurant like a family.

“I worked my way from cook to sous chef, executive chef, corporate chef, to owner,” he said.

This sense of community has helped Pasco’s produce delicious food and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Scavo attributes Pasco’s success and its vibrant atmosphere to the people of Tucson.

“We love being a part of university,” he said.

As we approach tailgating season in the fall, Red’s Smokehouse will provide the perfect place for ZonaZoo goers and fans alike to get their fix of brisket and craft beer.

Menu items include beef brisket, pork shoulder with a sassafras and root beer dry rub, and ribs rubbed with locally grown chiles and brown

sugar. To complement the warm weather of Tucson, Scavo also hopes to feature fish-smoked sashimi and croute plates.

Red’s Smokehouse is expected to have an emphasis on craft beer and cocktails.

“We will have a full cocktail bar focusing on whiskey, bourbon and scotch, because it’s a natural pairing with barbeque,” Scavo said. There will

also be an assortment of beers with which customers will be able to build their own six-packs.

Scavo believes it is important to celebrate the global culture of grilling and barbecuing.

“Every part of the world cooks outside on open flame or in a smoker or pit,” he said. Red’s Smokehouse is expected to have a pig roast each week celebrating different regional flavors such as Hawaiian, Asian and South American.

Scavo is excited for the future of Red’s Smokehouse and anticipates the university community welcoming them. Scavo hopes that Pasco’s and Red’s will “be here for the university and community for many years to come.”

Red’s Smokehouse will be located at 943 E. University Blvd. — just a short walk away from Pasco’s. Look out for information on the restaurant’s grand opening and upcoming events.

Curator vs. director in exhibition smack down

BY Alexis Wright

Arizona Summer Wildcat

June 26 marked the start of the so-called artistic smack down between two museum employees at the UA Museum of Art. The Director’s Choice and Curator’s Choice exhibit gives each contestant an assortment of about 21 pieces of art to display for the public to choose their favorite. To vote attendees can place a donation in a box on either side of the room, which is divided diagonally, separating the two different curatorial styles. The donation acts as the voting ballot.

With pieces stretching eight centuries in age, the show offers an all-encompassing look at the museum’s permanent collection for the general public to view.

Described as “proactive, diverse and thought provoking,” by director W. James Burns, his side of the exhibit is painted a deep red.

“I want a visceral reaction — whether they like a piece or they don’t,” Burns said.

If he has attendees talking, he noted, then he has done his job as a curator. Burns does not have a classical art degree, but looks at

art through a humanities lens, which he notes makes art more accessible.

The contrasting walls reflect the differences in each curator’s choices of artwork. Facing Burns’ selection, on soft blue walls, are Olivia Miller’s choices.

Miller’s pieces focus more on different time periods and locations, varying from Renaissance prints to work done in the 1990s.

As the curator of exhibitions and education, she noted the three goals of both the exhibit and the museum: educating the public on the permanently housed collections, allowing the art to spark conversation about similarities and differences and finally to show how art is used, spanning from something visually beautiful to a political message or profound statement.

Miller was an undergraduate student at the UA School of Art and graduated in 2005.

After graduate school, she returned to her alma mater.

The words ‘art’ and ‘smack down’ do not always go together congenially in the same sentence. Gina Louise Compitello, the marketing manager for the museum, noted that the organizers jokingly titled it a ‘smack

down,’ and somehow the name stuck. With the opening last Friday, attendees had a chance to observe and converse with the director and curator about their individual styles.

“The curators have such a refined eye and such a sense of depth behind a work of art,” said Laura Cortelyou, Tucson Museum of Art’s director of public relations and marketing. “When they have free reign, it's amazing.”

The competition will run through Aug. 30 with the aim to inspire more interest and bring more people the museum during the summer months to interact with the local communities.

“We want to be a resource for the university. Not just [for] the art majors, but to everyone,” Compitello said.

The museum is open to all and free for UA faculty and students. Simply flash a CatCard at the front desk.

"Terminator: Genisys" less than apocalyptic

By Michael Phillips Tribune News Service

Humanity gets a do-over in “Terminator Genisys,” the fifth in the franchise begun in 1984 with “The Terminator.”

But this screwy revision of the previous “Terminator” movies is so muddled and yakky, you may find yourself rooting for the apocalypse. At one point Arnold Schwarzenegger is thrown through a wall into a Pepsi Max vending machine (if the rise of the machines means the fall of product placement, I’m all for it), and for a second I was pulling for a slugfest between the former bodybuilder and the Pepsi dispenser. Just to see who’d win.

Remember how the second “Back to the Future” film got mixed up in alternate time-lines and parallel universes and such?

Delivered in wee truckloads of exposition

by Laeta Kalogridis and Patrick Lussier, “Terminator Genisys” is like “Back to the Future Part II” times 20, or the more recent “Looper” with a hundred extra loops.

Director Alan Taylor’s picture begins as a homage/recap/rip-off of the first, cheapest, meanest and best “Terminator,” the one written and directed by James Cameron.

We learn of the nuclear devastation and the rise of the machines, vending and otherwise, and the decimation of all that was good and true on our planet. Sgt. Kyle Reese (Jai Courtney) explains as much in voice-over, focusing on the 3 billion killed off on Judgment Day 2017.

The narrative starting point is 2029, with the human resistance being led by Reese and his legendary mentor, John Connor (Jason Clarke, whose character’s true character is foreshadowed in a way that puts the “obvious” in “obvious”). Thanks to time travel, we’re soon back in ‘84, and then forward to 2017, on Judgment Day eve. Sarah Connor, the tank-topped Mother Courage of the revolution, is portrayed by Emilia Clarke of “Game of Thrones.” She calls her guardian Terminator, played by

Courtesy of Paramount PIctures / TNS

Former Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger reprises his role as the Terminator in "Terminator Genisys."

Schwarzenegger, “Pops,” who repays her for the endearment with moral lectures delivered in monotone. Sarah Connor, meantime, bickers with Reese, with whom she must mate so that she can give birth to the man who will alter the course of ... oh, hell, that’s enough.

There are scenes of “old” Arnold thrashing his younger, ‘84 self. There are scenes featuring J.K. Simmons, bless him, as a sympathetic and dogged ally of our motley heroes that redeem entire minutes of the movie. The title refers to a “killer app” and coveted operating system that gives rise to the fall of humanity. Made on a reported (and mystifying, given its lack of visual imagination) budget of $170 million, “Terminator Genisys” doesn’t

take any pokes or try any dark satire in its technology-enslavement angle. This is strictly business, and dull business at that, for all the metal/flesh impalings and a bus dangling from the Golden Gate Bridge.

The bridge is destroyed in the flashback prologue, and got creamed in “San Andreas” earlier this year. Does landmark status count for anything in California?

Arnold, for the record, has a new catchphrase: “I’m old. Not obsolete.” He also reprises his greatest hit : “I’ll be back.”

He may have trouble pronouncing the word “cellular,” but that doesn’t matter.

Everything’s at stake yet nothing comes to much in “Terminator Genisys.” I did admire the sight of the disintegrating Bad Terminator struggling to break free of an

MRI, but by the time Arnold’s hushed by one of his exasperated cohorts with, “Whaddya gonna do, talk us to death?” a very expensive and very poorly written movie has begun to disintegrate itself.

Adam Scott is best known for playing calzone-loving, all-around nice guy Ben Wyatt in the TV show, beloved by all demographics, “Parks and Recreation.”

If you’ve ever thought to yourself, “I love Adam Scott, but I wish he was in a raunchy comedy that claims to push boundaries, and maybe it’s about some swingers or something and there’s the potential to see him nude,” you’re in for a treat. “The Overnight” was made just for you.

“The Overnight” opens at The Loft

Cinema on July 3 with a special guest joining after the first 6:30 p.m. screening.

Adam Scott will Skype in following the film, providing the perfect opportunity to discuss the film as well as any other burning questions surrounding the rising star.

Riffing off of the increasingly popular middle-aged, suburban comedies such as “Neighbors,” “The Overnight” tells the comedic adventure of Alex (Adam Scott) and Emily (Taylor Schilling), who have just moved to L.A. from Seattle and meet their first potential “California friends” Kurt (Jason Schwartzman) and Charlotte

(Judith Godreche).

After being invited over for a welcome dinner, Alex and Emily reluctantly agree after asking the age-old movie adage, “What’s the worst that could happen?”

Republicans lost in echo chamber, send help

BY Greg Castro

Arizona Summer Wildcat

While the majority of the country celebrated last week as marriage equality finally became a reality, Republican presidential candidates took the opportunity to share their disappointment with the ruling.

Though not all of these responses were necessarily hateful, most reinforced the current GOP pastime of being as out of touch with the American public as possible. Ted Cruz went so far as to say, “Today is some of the darkest 24 hours in our nation’s history,” a statement which, taken at face value, indicates that Cruz finds affordable healthcare and equal protection under the law to be on par with 9/11 and Pearl Harbor.

With Donald Trump announcing his candidacy June 16, the current roster of GOP presidential hopefuls has become an undeniable farce, with moderate

(read: electable) candidates such as Jeb Bush gaining little publicity.

Indeed, Bush had perhaps the most reasonable Republican response to the marriage equality ruling.

“I also believe that we should love our neighbor and respect others, including those making lifetime commitments,” Bush said while still voicing his disagreement. And yet, despite this fairly rational platform, radical party members continue to leave Facebook comments for Bush such as “the ONLY people who want you to win the GOP nomination are the Democrats!”

How is it that Republicans have arrived at a point where their 2016 chances are so minimal that even conservative publications such as the National Review are willing to run columns with headlines that read “Five Reasons Why Hillary Wins in 2016”?

Welcome to the Republican echo chamber, where, as PolicyMic’s Mike Young once put it, “Republicans live in

their own right-wing world devoid of the reality.” This is a party that has relied for years on hot-button issues such as gay marriage and abortion, issues that, for the most part, have been decided in courts of law rather than on the legislative floor.

This realization is nothing new.

Pundits have noted the Fox News effect ever since the last presidential election in which President Barack Obama led prediction polls throughout election night only for Republicans to awake the next morning and become legitimately surprised at their rather handy defeat.

Of course, many will recall the election as closer than that, but considering that Obama is the only president since Dwight Eisenhower to receive 51 percent of the vote for both terms, it’s hard to view the 2012 race as a close call.

Astonishingly, it’s three-and-a-half years later and Republicans continue to beat the same old dead horse. Responses to last week’s marriage equality ruling

serve as a flaming example. Beyond Cruz’s aforementioned hyperbole, candidates such as Scott Walker began calling for a constitutional convention.

“The only alternative left for the American people is to support an amendment to the U.S. Constitution to reaffirm the ability of the states to continue to define marriage,” Walker said.

While it’s difficult to imagine anything more banal than an attempt at creating the first-ever amendment to actually restrict American freedoms — unless you want to count the 18th Amendment, which was, naturally, repealed — several other Republican candidates are now campaigning with this exact stance.

What can the Republicans do to possibly have a chance at winning in 2016? Drop this entire aspect of the platform, for one. Presidential candidate Lindsey Graham put it best.

“I don’t believe there is any chance

for a constitutional amendment defining marriage between one man and one woman to get a two-thirds vote in the House or the Senate and be ratified by three-fourths of the states,” she said.

Furthermore, they can stop making “Nobody would vote for Hillary if she wasn’t a woman” their chief argument against the current presidential frontrunner and start producing practical alternatives to her popular stances on immigration, healthcare and education.

If Republican candidates continue with their bizarre fixation on issues over which they frankly have no control, then the country is likely to go another couple of decades before seeing a conservative back in the White House.

Dramatic conservatives desert democracy

BY Nick Havey

Arizona Summer Wildcat

Sometimes, fleeing the country seems like a good idea. Perhaps a warrant is out for your arrest because you’ve murdered several people, or maybe your visa expired and you don’t want to be deported. Or, just maybe, someone has been given rights they’ve deserved since the inception of this nation, and you can’t deal with it. Marriage equality was legalized last week, and if you proclaimed that you would flee the country to move to Canada, Mexico or anywhere else, you’re not only an idiot, you’re the embodiment of democratic failure.

In a week fraught with legal precedent, it’s no wonder that over-privileged and over-reactive conservatives are crying as they pack their minivans and drive north of the border. With the classic symbol of Southern pride being removed or combatted, where Southern pride is the equivalent of white supremacy and the perpetuation of slavery, it’s a really tough week for homophobes and bigots. That the flag, symbolic of a war of oppression, is being replaced with a rainbow one celebrating marriage equality and everything queer only makes it worse for the hateful.

I have something simple to say to those abandoning the nation’s progress: please, go ahead and leave. It’s not the first time that y’all have paraded your intolerance around in a poorly thought out temper tantrum, either; when President Barack Obama was elected, it looked like

Canada was getting a ton more immigrants, and it this analogy will be exploited by those who are was even worse the second time. I’m confused as determined to stamp out every vestige of dissent.”

I completely understand Justice Alito’s to why anyone who would leave now that marriage perspective. Of course the people who are the equality is okay hadn’t already left.

The problem with this drastic action, ignoring beneficiaries of oppression don’t assent to the the fact that by rejecting America you’re rejecting dismantling of the system that upholds oppression American democracy and subsequently negating and subsequently maintains their privilege.

Comparisons of marriage equality the whole “you are ruining to that of segregation and the fight Christian America!” argument, Should those for suffrage are dangerous in their is that same-sex marriage has who refuse implications of equality — the been legal in Canada for over to assent to the notion America was built upon. a decade and was legalized in Should those who refuse to assent Mexico this year. new orthodoxy of In his dissenting argument, rejecting racism and to the new orthodoxy of rejecting racism and homophobia be vilified?

Chief Justice John Glover Roberts writes the majority’s position Jr. noted that the issue presented is in represents a “threat to American no way affected by the constitution, democracy.” The confusion within Justice Scalia’s dissent, and those of Justices willfully ignoring that oppression and the need for Samuel A. Alito Jr. and Clarence Thomas, represent the ratification of rights changes as new identities a misconception that America is a Christian nation. emerge. Injustice isn’t predicated upon a finite set It’s not — it is a nation where freedom of religion is of obstacles to be overcome, but rather is generated on the basis of new biases and hatred. celebrated, but freedom to persecute is not.

“The nature of injustice is that we may not In his dissent, Justice Alito found concern in an assault on the minority opinion. He claims the always see it in our own times,” Justice Anthony precedent “will be used to vilify Americans who Kennedy writes. “The generations that wrote and are unwilling to assent to the new orthodoxy,” ratified the Bill of Rights and the 14th Amendment Justice Alito writes. “In the course of its opinion, did not presume to know the extent of freedom the majority compares traditional marriage laws in all of its dimensions, and so they entrusted to to laws that denied equal treatment for African- future generations a charter protecting the right of Americans and women. The implications of all persons to enjoy liberty as we learn its meaning.”

“

Make no mistake that black people, women and queer-identifying people have faced a horrific onslaught of injustice throughout the entirety of this nation’s history. The ratification of marriage equality is one tiny, long-awaited step in resolving centuries of injustice.

If you cannot recognize this injustice, and if you feel privileged enough to announce that you’re moving, you are a beneficiary of the system that doles it out. Bobby Jindal, the perennially insane governor of Louisiana, isn’t going to give up the fight.

“This decision will pave the way for an allout assault against the religious freedom rights of Christians who disagree [with it],” Gov. Jindal wrote in a statement following the decision. Gov. Jindal isn’t completely wrong; it is going to pave the way for an assault against intolerance and hatred predicated upon religious freedom, but is in no way an assault on Christians, who are welcomed and freely accepted in this nation.

So, if you’re part of the group who wants to leave, please do so. And if you’re a citizen of the great states of Alabama, Arkansas, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi or Texas and are actively preventing or trying to evade cooperating with the law of the land, maybe consider asking your locally elected representative what their thoughts are on secession.

The f-word means fun for Rob Gronkowski BY justin spears

Arizona Summer Wildcat

New England Patriots tight end and former Arizona Wildcat Rob Gronkowski might be having the most exhilarating off-season in NFL history with the help of his family and teammates, along with intense partying. Gronkowski made his case as the most entertaining player in football history and has turned into the poster child of the Wildcats in the NFL. The three-time Pro Bowler’s partying ways didn’t just happen overnight, even though he’s only been a household name since he joined the Patriots. How can we forget his world-famous “Yo soy fiesta” remark he said in a locker room press conference.

Gronkowski hails from Amherst, N.Y., and took his talents to the Old Pueblo to highlight a 2007 recruiting class. While Arizona was known for power running backs with Mike Bell, Chris Henry and Nic Grigsby, under former Arizona head coach Mike Stoops, Gronkowski would immediately add another dimension.

Why would a 6-foot-6 man that weighs 265 pounds come from living in a state like New York to Tucson to play football? The same reason as any student from the east coast that attends Arizona: the weather, Greek life and parties. At some points during the

school year, all three of those go hand in hand.

Around the country Arizona is notorious for being one of the biggest party schools in America.

In 2014, Playboy ranked Arizona as the No. 4 party school in the country. Gronkowski, in his tenure with the Wildcats, evolved into what many consider to be a bro.

Once Gronkowski was drafted in 2010, his football game and his party game skyrocketed.

Whether it was partying with Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel or kicking it with Floyd Mayweather Jr. in Las Vegas, Gronkowski takes his job in the NFL very seriously. He’s a likeable teammate with an unstoppable motor that makes him a matchup nightmare for any team on the other side of the scrimmage line.

He received a great amount of criticism in 2012 after his first Super Bowl appearance, in which he was a game-time decision with an ankle injury. Gronkowski actually played, and the Patriots wound up losing to the New York Giants. He received national criticism after he was spotted dancing in a nightclub where his ankle looked completely normal again.

Formerly known as Gronk, he isn’t afraid to use the f-word — fun. That goes for any situation, including spending time with teammates at the Kentucky

Derby in the morning and taking a private jet to Las Vegas for the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight by night.

Just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, Gronk took his father to a race car track and drove at speeds up to 120 mph.

Face it, Gronkowski is living the high life, and even though he receives large amounts of grief for his partying, he’s living his dream.

On top of that, how can you hate a man who is family oriented?

Gronk and his cast of brothers were on an episode of “Family Feud” that aired June 21 to take on the Manning family.

Gronkowski may be a knucklehead at times and a total bro, but, like it or not, he is the poster boy of the Arizona Wildcats in the NFL. Unless Nick Foles or Ka’deem Carey win Super Bowls, Gronk will always be atop the Wildcat faithful.

Past and present 'Cats run at Nationals BY ezra amacher

Arizona Summer Wildcat

A handful of current and former Arizona athletes competed at the 2015 USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships over the weekend in Eugene, Ore. The meet, held at the University of Oregon’s Hayward Field, served as a qualifier for both the upcoming IAAF World Championships and Pan-American Junior Championships.

Freshman Bailey Roth had perhaps the best weekend out of all the Wildcats competing, as he won the 3,000-meter steeplechase event at the Junior Championships on Saturday, June 27. Roth won the race with a time of 9:08.70, finishing well ahead the rest of the field.

The first-place finish earned Roth a Team USA spot for the Pan-American Junior Championships, which takes place from

July 31 to Aug. 2 in Edmonton, Canada.

Liz Patterson, a former NCAA outdoor national champion in the high jump, also had an impressive outing by taking second place in the high jump event. The 2009 UA alumna cleared a mark of 6-2 (1.88m) to place in the top three.

However, Patterson did not qualify for the World Championships, as she did not meet the minimum 1.94m standard. She now has until Aug. 10 to pass that mark and gain a spot on Team USA. A testament to Arizona’s program success in the high jump, the UA has had a female athlete medal in the event for the sixth consecutive year.

Another strong showing came from sophomore Wildcat Tiana Bonds in the Junior Heptathlon. Bonds finished in fifth place overall after winning the 100-meter hurdles and setting a new personal best mark in the high jump at 5-4.5 (1.64m).

Along with Roth and Bonds, sophomore Claire Green was the only other current student athlete to compete. Green finished in seventh place in the Junior Championships 800-meter race with a time of 2:12.01.

She came short of qualifying for the PanAmerican Junior Championships.

Volunteer assistant coach Jill Camarena Williams finished fourth in the women’s shot put competition, while alumnus Nick Ross placed sixth in the men’s high jump.

Neither athlete earned a spot in the World Championships.

A couple more athletes affiliated with Arizona track and field also struggled over the weekend.

The biggest disappointment came Sunday in the 400-meter hurdles finals race, where former Wildcat and Olympian Georganne Moline failed to finish the event. Moline fell when trying to clear the eighth hurdle. A day

prior in the semifinals race, Moline ran her top time of the season in the event at 54.28.

Meanwhile, volunteer assistant coach Bernard Lagat finished in 10th place in the 5,000-meter race. A former four-time Olympian, Lagat was far off from qualifying for the World Championships.

In the men’s pole vault event, former Arizona athlete Nick Mossberg took sixth place after failing to clear a height of 184.5 (6.60m). The mark would have tied his personal best.

Another Wildcat alumna, Taylor Bush, fouled on each of her three attempts in the women’s hammer throw event.

In total, 13 Track Cats competed at the championships.

Wildcats wear stars and stripes for summer BY ezra amacher

Arizona Summer Wildcat

A pair of Arizona Wildcats are competing in school colors this summer. But this time, the colors represent the USA, not just the UA. Bobby Dalbec and Allonzo Trier will both be expected to contribute heavily to their respective teams at Arizona this upcoming school year.

For now, the star athletes are spending the next few weeks leading Team USA on the diamond and on the court.

Dalbec, a rising junior who is both a position player and a pitcher, is off to a mixed start for USA Baseball’s Collegiate National team. The U.S. team is playing most of its games at the National Training Complex in Cary, N.C. After having started seven of the team’s first eight games, the Colorado native was batting just .190 at the plate. However, two of Dalbec’s four hits were big flies.

In fact, Dalbec is the only player on the USA team to have hit a home run thus far.

For those who have followed Dalbec’s career at Arizona, that shouldn’t be too surprising. As a sophomore, he accounted for nearly

half of the Wildcats’ 31 team homers with 15.

Dalbec also drove in 53 RBIs this past year, the team’s best, placing him second in the Pac-12 Conference.

Now that Dalbec is facing premier amateur competition — seven of the USA’s first ten games were against Chinese Taipei — and still delivering power, it can only be a sign of good things to come as he embarks on his junior season.

Something to look out for as USA enters the second half of its summer schedule is if Dalbec also gets some work on the mound. Down the stretch of Arizona’s 2014-15 campaign, he turned into one of the Wildcats’ most reliable pitchers.

On the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, Allonzo Trier is competing for the USA Men’s U19 World Championship Team at the FIBA U19 World Championship. The team is led by none other than Arizona men’s basketball coach Sean Miller.

Trier, an incoming freshman who was a McDonald’s All-American in high school, scored 17 points in the U.S. 103-81 win over Croatia on Sunday.

“I came in right away and was really aggressive and played like myself,” Trier told usab.com. “I attacked the

basket, made some 3s to help open the floor up and just made plays for my teammates and tried to ignite us in the press.”

With the win, Trier and the U.S. U19 team moved to 2-0 in preliminary group round, all but assuring a spot in the round of 16. The U.S. opened up the tournament with a dominating win over Iran.

By competing for the United States, Trier not only has a chance to win a medal for his country but can also earn valuable knowledge from his future college head coach. Trier will get to spend practically the entire summer learning from Miller.

If the U.S. wins the 2015 FIBA U19 World Championship, it won’t be the first time an incoming Wildcat played a contributing role.

Two years ago, Aaron Gordon was named the MVP of the U.S. U19 after the Americans won the gold medal.

Trier and Miller would surely love to duplicate Gordon’s success.

Arizona Summer Wildcat

Then-Arizona forward Brandon Ashley (21) makes a jump shot during Arizona's 68-60 win in the Sweet Sixteen of the NCAA Tournament in the Staples Center in Los Angeles, Calif. on March 26.

While draft night was a great night to be a Kentucky Wildcat, it was also pleasing to be an Arizona Wildcat.

Stanley Johnson was drafted to the Detroit Pistons and Rondae HollisJefferson, who originally signed to the Portland Trail Blazers, traded to the Brooklyn Nets. However, two of the arguably most beloved players in recent history and consistent offensive players last year, Brandon Ashley and T.J. McConnell, did not hear their names called last Thursday — but all is not lost.

Ashley signed to compete in the Las Vegas Summer League with the Atlanta Hawks after considering the Los Angeles Lakers, and McConnell inked a six-figure deal with the Philadelphia 76ers.

Jordan Farmar, for instance, started his career with the Lakers before playing in leagues in Israel

and Turkey while unsigned to an NBA team.

With the NBA draft only being two rounds, having players who were stars in college not get drafted has become a common occurrence in this day and age. Quite often, second round and undrafted players relocate overseas for a period of time before returning to the league.

Ashley’s decision to sign with the Hawks makes more sense than the Lakers due to their reliance on outside shooting from their big men such as Al Horford, Paul Millsap and Pero Antic. Had he joined the Lakers, we would have no idea how he would fit into their future plans. With Kobe Bryant, Nick Young and D’Angelo Russell on the team, Ashley might not have even touched the ball even if he did join the team.

McConnell on the Sixers could become very interesting considering their current point guard situation and their drafting of Duke

All-American Jahlil Okafor. Their current point guards are the littleknown duo of 2013 second-round pick Isaiah Canaan, who is also on the Sixers Summer League team, and NBA journeyman Ish Smith. Factor in Philly’s current penchant for not caring at the moment and we could see McConnell in the state he grew up in.

The way McConnell’s contract is set up, he will play on Philadelphia’s summer league teams in Utah and Las Vegas and also attend their fall camp. Even if he fails to make their roster, he will receive the six-figure sum Philly inked him to.

Being undrafted does not mean we may as well consider their careers over. From the electrifying Jeremy Lin, to lockdown defender Raja Bell, to All-Stars Ben Wallace and John Starks, sometimes going undrafted means being the victim of uncontrollable circumstances.

No matter the outcomes of their

pro careers, Wildcat nation will honor what McConnell and Ashley achieve in the future. While the highlights and praise may have been given mostly to Johnson and HollisJefferson last year, and Nick Johnson and Aaron Gordon in 2013, Ashley and McConnell each contributed tremendously with their consistency and unselfishness. Wherever their careers may take them, basketball won’t be in their rear view for many years to come.
