OV Mayor’s Race pits Winfield vs Sharp Nicole Feltman Tucson Local Media

ro Valley Mayor Joe Winfield is facing a challenge from former Oro Valley Police Chief Danny Sharp in this year’s election. Both men filed nominating petitions with the Town Clerk’s Office by this week’s April 4 deadline. They will face each other in the Aug. 2 primary election. A 26-year resident of Oro Valley, Winfield unseated two-term mayor Satish Hiremath and won the mayor’s office four years ago by campaigning against rezoning decisions and the town’s spending on golf courses. Before becoming mayor, he had served on the committees for the 2006 and 2016 Oro Valley General Plans. See OV Council, P4

OV Council: Challengers line up for the August election Continued from P1 He also served as vice chair of the Oro Valley Parks and Recreation Advisory Board, and chaired the Oro Valley Trails Task Force. Sharp, a Oro Valley resident, has worked for the town for 20 years as chief of police. During that career, he spent a year and a half as the interim town manager for Oro Valley. Winfield said he is seeking another four-year term to continue projects that have launched under his tenure, including the replacement of irrigation systems on town-owned golf courses, expanding parking at the community center,

continuing improvements at Naranja Park and other parks around town through a bond program, adding to the multi use path system and transforming the recently acquired former Vistoso golf course into a town park. Winfield said he wants to see town dollars spent on parks and recreation programs and updating the town’s facilities, such as the municipal court and the police headquarters. He wants to continue to work with fellow mayors to develop a plan to extend the Regional Transportation Authority, funded through a half-cent-per-dollar sales tax, for another 20 years. The RTA has been funded by the sales tax since it was

approved by voters in 2006. Winfield also wants to continue annexing areas to expand the boundaries of Oro Valley, as well as expanding the veterinary school in Oro Valley. Sharp paints a dire warning about Oro Valley finances. Even though the town has seen record revenues thanks to federal pandemic funding, Sharp warned that the town is “headed towards a cliff because we have no revenue coming in, we’ve got a record debt and our public safety is in jeopardy.” Sharp said since Winfield’s election, the town has experienced a “deterioration of quality of life, and a loss of sense of community.” “I can either sit by and watch it happen, or roll up

my sleeves and get involved and run for mayor and get us back on track,” Sharp said. Sharp said the town had issued too much spending through bonds for park improvements, but Winfield countered under his administration, the town had reduced spending on townowned golf courses and was able to divert a portion of sales-tax dollars to cover the repayment of bond debt. Sharp also said he’d seen major problems with public safety since he left the job. He sees a shortage of police officers in the towns, leading to safety concerns at high schools. Sharp wants to use the community policing model he developed for OVPD

as a model for community government. He wants to reduce town spending and bring in more engagement from residents and businesses. Council Member Joyce Jones-Ivey, Vice Mayor Melanie Barret and Josh Nicolson, who were elected alongside Winfield, are running for re-election. Four candidates had filed nominating petitions to challenge the incumbents, including: • Former council member Bill Rodman, who lost his seat four years ago; • Retired university professor and dean Charlie Hurt, who lived in Oro Valley when he worked at the University of Arizona and who later moved back

after finishing his academic career at the University of Wisconsin. Hurt has since chaired the town’s Planning and Zoning Commission and Water Utility Commission; • Joseph Erceg, a marketing executive who has helped organize various sporting events and served as president and CEO of the Green Valley Sahaurita Chamber of Commerce; • and radio show host Christopher DeSimone. Any candidate who gets more than 50 percent of the vote in the Aug. 2 primary wins a council seat. If every seat is not filled, the remaining candidates will run at large in the Nov. 8 general election.

OUR TOWN

Female Business expo this weekend at El Conquistador resort Nicole Feltman Tucson Local Media

teer group’s president, Hilda Ramirez, has organized a luncheon and fashion show in addition to the expo, which will feature up to 30 vendors. The vendors and the fashion show will be free, but the noon luncheon costs $80 per ticket, or $800 dollars for a table of 10 people. This event is a great opportunity for business women of Tucson to meet each other and formulate connections and collabo-

rations that will allow for local businesses to thrive and for the local economy to flourish, according to Deborah Kinkel-Suarez, executive chair of Women Entrepreneurs of Oro Valley. Kinkel-Suarez wants the event to “inspire women to follow their dreams and open the business they have been thinking about, or at least asking questions about some of the other vendors.” There will be three

speakers at the event, sharing their own experience with business and how they have overcome their challenges. Oro Valley Police Chief Kara Riley, El Rio Health Center Foundation Executive Director Brenda Goldsmith and iBalance Wellness Spa owner Lynda Barber will all be speaking. “The luncheon is going to be something where you can see three different women in three different areas and how they have

succeeded and how they overcame during and after COVID,” said Kinkel-Suarez. “Anyone that goes to the luncheon will have some community gathering as well as supporting our local Oro Valley businesses and hearing and being able to take a way a tidbit from one or both or all three and help them in their business here in Oro Valley.” Raffle Tickets will be drawn by vendors at 1:30 pm.

Proceeds from this event will support the efforts of Women Entrepreneurs of Oro Valley. This is their second annual event and they hope to continue hosting the Women’s Expo every year, along with hosting consumer-focused workshops throughout the year. If you want to apply to be a vendor, or register for the event, be sure to fill out the form at https://forms.gle/ HZDadZEGMkJtEoe29.

Kids Camp!

Towns, museums and theaters hosting classes and camps this summer Jake O’Rourke and Jeff Gardner Tucson Local Media

he saying goes “if you can’t beat them, join them” — but there are many classes available this summer that allow kids to beat the heat while also joining in on team activities. Every year, Tucson Local Media rounds up a sampler of some of the summer camps and classes, and this edition continues that tradition. There are plenty of the classic outdoor recreational opportunities and overnight camps, but there also technology, arts

and culture opportunities depending on your preference. Whether they’re hosted at a community pool, indoors, or outdoors away from peak heat hours, there are plenty of ways to keep kids active and engaged this summer without getting too hot. Some even get kids up in the mountains as a way to beat the heat. Of course, there are far too many opportunities for kids around town this summer, so this is by no means a comprehensive list. This is a look at many of the options hosted by our local governments, museums, churches and more. We know it’s technically summer break,

but you never know, kids might learn a thing or two at these summer camps as well. TOWN OF MARANA Marana is offering several options to keep campers active during the summer months.

The 17th annual Gootter Grand Slam and Gala returns this weekend

Special to Tucson Local Media

emale business owners will have a chance to network at the Women Entrepreneurs of Oro Valley’s Business Expo on Saturday, April 9. The event will take place from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the El Conquistador Tucson, a Hilton Resort, 10000 N. Oracle Road. The 17th annual Gootter Grand Slam and Gala returns to celebrate life and raise awareness about heart health this weekend. Held at La Paloma Resort’s tennis courts on Sunday, April 10, the event serves the Steven M. Gootter Foundation and its mission to defeat sudden cardiac death. “We’re combining the gala with the tennis exhibition so that in itself is new,”

President Andrew Messing said. “And normally we have dinner in the ballroom of La Paloma, but as soon as we’re done with the exhibition we’ll have dinner under the stars this year.” The exhibition will feature a battle of the brothers with world famous doubles teams the Bryan brothers and the Jensen brothers facing off, as well as University of Arizona football head coach Jedd Fisch and tennis men’s head coach Clancy Shields playing the Bryan brothers. Tennis was a sport Steven Mark Gootter loved. In 2005, a healthy 42-year-old Gootter passed away from sudden cardiac death, leaving behind a devastated family. “Steve was a really healthy guy, it happened during a jog one morning before work, and it just left

a huge hole in the hearts of his family and friends,” Messing said. “Steve touched so many people. He was a people person. We all handled grief in different ways, and for us we wanted Steve’s life to be meaningful and do something to honor him.” Soon after Gootter’s death, his family established the foundation.

They work to fund research at UA and Stanford University, raise awareness on the condition, and place automated external defibrillators, or AEDs, in public spaces. “We distributed AEDs to high schools, churches, synagogues, YMCAs, and other nonprofits,” Messing said. “We also felt it would be great if the Pima County police departments all had AEDS in their cop cars and so we partnered with those organizations.” Sudden cardiac arrest is the largest cause of nat-

ural death in the U.S., with about 325,000 deaths in the U.S. every year. And as of Oct. 29, 2021, Murphy Jensen was almost among that statistic as he went into cardiac arrest on a tennis court. “I wasn’t a CPR dummy, I was a human being lying on that court,” Jensen said. “I was that person, that entity that CPR compression and AEDs and all the research and education and science the Gootter foundation supports and represents. It was now saving my life.” The grand slam and gala will be honoring Jensen with the Gootter Foundation Philanthropic

Award. Jensen has been a supporter of the Gootter Foundation and guest at the exhibition for more than 10 years, and now he has become living proof of the foundation’s efforts. “It’s been five months of recovery and I’m stronger than ever. Coming to be the honoree for the Gootter foundation might be the most important thing I’ve done in my life,” Jensen said. Following the tennis matches, the Gootter Foundation will host a dinner on the tennis courts under the stars. The dinner will feature an international buffet with “dishes representing the great tennis venues in the world,” plus music, live and silent auctions and more. The cost to attend

the Gootter Grand Slam and Gala is $300 per person, with proceeds funding research and efforts to prevent sudden cardiac death. This will be the first public tennis match Jensen will participate in since his heart attack. This event not only serves as a fundraiser, but also a celebration of life and those afflicted with the condition like Jensen and Gootter. “My heart has been cracked open in the most important way,” Jensen said. “I didn’t know it before, but I know it now is what’s really important is that we love one another and we don’t take anything for granted. The worst thing that could have happened to me has become the best thing.”

Come on out for Oro Valley’s big birthday bash Lynanne DellermanSilverthron Special to Tucson Local Media

eady to Celebrate? Oro Valley Parks & Recreation is excited to be back in person to bring the community together for the Town’s annual birthday party event, Celebrate Oro Valley. The town of Oro Valley was incorporated in April of 1974 and the event is held annually on the second Saturday in April to commemorate our founding. Celebrate Oro Valley highlights the five elements that make Oro Valley a great place to live and play. These elements, or “pillars of Oro Valley,” help guide the theme of the event year to year.

They are Arts & Culture, Science & Technology, Sports & Recreation, Landscapes & Wildlife and Leadership & Direction. In addition, the event is held at the Town’s historic park, Steam Pump Ranch and will follow the theme “As Our Story Grows.” There will be chalk boards placed throughout the event where you are invited to share your favorite part of living in, playing in, or visiting Oro Valley. At the conclusion of the event photos will be taken and posted to social media for all to read and enjoy. The event will also be highlighting the history of horses that were in use throughout the early days of the southwest. Multiple shows will be

offered, showcasing riders from the Therapeutic Ranch for Animals and Kids (TRAK), Charros y Modelos de Arizona, and the Spanish Barb Horse Association. Charros y Modelos de Arizona is well known across the region for their Charros, and won the award for best dancing horses at the Tucson Rodeo Parade in 2019 and 2022. Most people familiar with Tucson history will know the name Father Kino, but not everyone will know that the Spanish Barb horse was one of his contributions to the local horse stock. Along with the wonderful equine shows, there will be fantastic music throughout the day provided by bands,

Cowboy at Heart, Adara Rae and the Homewreckers, and the Craig Green Band. These three musical groups will bring a variety of styles and genres of music to the ranch providing a “something for everyone” atmosphere. Styles will range from classic western, a mix of country rock and bluesy pop to Americana. The event will also host fantastic dance shows. Modelos de Arizona will provide a colorful Folkloric dance, local elementary school children dance teams will perform, as well as the dance program from Quest for Education and Arts. The celebration will also have great community antiques, crafts, and art for sale, as well as the

Heirloom farmers market vendor booths sharing their products and services. Also available throughout the event are tours of the Historic Pusch house provided by the Oro Valley Historical Society. Prehistoric activities will be provided by Archaeology Southwest and crafts for kids provided by the Town’s Parks and Recreation Department. Mrs. Cheryl Leiber, one of the last residents to live at the ranch, will also share her family stories and history from the front porch of the Proctor-Lieber house, her former family home on the property. Finally, in honor and remembrance of two great representatives of Art and Culture in Oro Valley that were recently lost, Mr.

Robert (Bob) Weede and Mrs. Gail Munden, video and art displays will be shown to commemorate their contributions. Please stop by and take a look at all they did to help make Oro Valley the great place it is today. This display will be located near the Proctor-Leiber house. There will also be great food trucks, games and activities throughout and lots of fun for the whole family! Head on down to Steam Pump Ranch, 10901 N. Oracle Road. Join the fun and Celebrate Oro Valley and the History of Horses in the Southwest, As Our Story Grows, on April 9 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Visit orovalleyaz.gov to see the full schedule of events.

EXTRA POINT SPORTS WITH TOM DANEHY &RECREATION Baseball strikes out: Bringing the DH to the National League is the final blow Tom Danehy

Special to Tucson Local Media

ear Major League Baseball, We’re done! After decades of making moves that seemed designed specifically to alienate fans like me, you’ve finally lost me for good. And it wasn’t easy. You guys had to work extra hard to push me off the bandwagon. I’m of a generation where those of us who wanted to try to be athletes played everything. Growing up in L.A. in the 1960s with larger-than-life pitching heroes Sandy Koufax and Don Drysdale carrying the Dodgers to the World Series, baseball was king. My buddies and I played it all summer long. I was okay at it. I played in high school and college and even, for a time, in Mexico, but it was always my least-favorite sport to play. It was just too slow. (If they had had ADHD when I was a kid, I would have been the Poster Child for it.) It was fun, but for me, anyway, it was something to do between the end

of basketball season and the start of football practice. For my first three decades, small-b baseball was cool, but capital-B Baseball was to be revered. Giants walked the earth. Players like Roberto Clemente (my all-time favorite) played the game with passion and skill that made it impossible to hate on the game. But then came the strikes (and not those of the wicked slider variety). I endured the strikes/ lockouts of the 1970s and 80s, but the one in 1994-95 (that killed the World Series) was it for me. I know all that stuff about billionaires fighting with millionaires. I generally side with the players who have a limited time in their lives to make as much as possible, while most owners are born fabulously wealthy and die even richer. But both sides know where they’re going to settle, so settle, already. Unlike some people, I wasn’t drawn back into the game by the grotesque exploits of the Steroid Monsters of the late 1990s and early 2000s. If anything, it turned me off even more. I

would check in every now and then and I realized that as the years went by, the game had become unwatchable. Three-and-a-half-hourlong games had become the norm. (Or even four hours!) There was a steady stream of relief pitchers trudging to the mound, each capable of throwing a baseball 100 miles per hour but none capable of pitching to more than a couple batters. And teams were using analytics to employ bizarre shifts on defense. It was hideous. When this latest labor thing happened, I was deeply into so-what mode. I had this little tiny glimmer, wondering what the non-steroided Murderers’ Row of Shohei Ohtani, Mike Trout and Anthony Rendon might do for the Angels, but now…the final blow! I had always counted on the fact that the National (rhymes with Rational) League would NEVER go with the Designated Hitter. It’s such a dumb gimmick anyway. I can’t believe it didn’t get hooted off the sports stage after a year or two. Here’s the guy who, in

almost all cases, was the best all-around athlete in high school, an absolutely studly athletic specimen who has reached the pinnacle of his chosen sport…but he’s only allowed to play part of the game. I understand why the players would want the DH. It gives players who have lost a step (or three) in the field a chance to still be in the majors. Take an at-bat, sit in the dugout for three innings, take an-at-bat, get a big check. But it takes away some of the strategy that used to constitute part of baseball’s unique character. The rules of games change

over time; that’s inevitable. But the DH changes the character of the game. Then there are those who say that it adds much-needed offense to the game. This has happened over the years. In the late 1960s, when run production was plummeting, they lowered the pitching mound to blunt the effectiveness of dominant pitchers like Bob Gibson of the St. Louis Cardinals. Here’s another idea of how to increase run production. Stop paying ridiculous sums of money to people who, when they get to the plate, either strike out or hit a home run, but almost nothing in

between. Legendary manager Earl Weaver of the Baltimore Orioles used to live by the offensive philosophy of the three-run homer. But that entailed somebody hitting a lowly single and then maybe a batter drawing a walk, followed by the three-run homer. Now, it’s just strikeout, strikeout, home run, strikeout. One run, one hit, nobody left on base. As Pope Francis would say, “Ain’t nobody wants to see dat!” It’s too bad, really. Baseball used to have so much going for it. In the crowded field of sports viewing, it coulda been a contender. Now it’s just a bum.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You won’t be able to start up where you left off because you left off everywhere at once. This isn’t a linear process like climbing a ladder or building a brick wall. This is immersion in an endless ocean, and this week, it’s enough just to stay afloat. Relax and experience where you are.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’re creative, so you can make any game work. But the right challenge will elevate you effortlessly. You deserve this. You will find tremendous success with activities and pursuits that fit with your style. To honor your gifts, seek competition at your level.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Success depends on sensing the difference between reality, augmented reality and just plain lies. Something to take with you into the jungle of marketing and social media: Just because a saying is witty doesn’t mean it’s true. But if the statement is so funny you can’t stop laughing, there must be truth in it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your powers of observation are keen. Status quo doesn’t fool your eye. You look deeper, spot the flaws, notice what was missed. There are many opportunities before you, ripe for the taking. Where there is something to say, an idea to develop or a connection to make, you will pick it up and run with it.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll think about what to wear and the right topics to talk about. You’ll keep conversation starters at the ready and cue into other people’s needs and wants. These are the considerations of a person who cares about creating smooth interactions and winning impressions. Your efforts will work brilliantly.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It takes a certain maturity to realize that behavior is mostly made up of choices. The less mature are compelled to act in ways that feel mandatory, but this is mostly conditioning. The reaction that seems to come automatically is but one possibility. This week, you’ll see more options and experiment accordingly.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). This week, as you try to stay with the unfolding moment, your mind will often race off to other places, trying to work out problems ahead of time or after the fact. But all the opportunities are in the present. You don’t want to miss this. Keep guiding your mind gently back to the only moment that matters.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You want something but you don’t know why. Perhaps the reason is primal, soul deep, or it belongs to a future known only to your intuition. In any regard, as long as it doesn’t hurt anyone, why shouldn’t you have what you want? Trust yourself, even those mysterious parts of you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). As much as you try to stay out of the drama, it finds you this week. There’s something good about this. For starters, you need conflict to have a story. So, when you go for ease but happen to get friction instead, at least you’ll have an interesting, entertaining and/or informative anecdote to share later.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your project comes to what has potential to be a sticking point, but you won’t get stuck there if you keep moving. Even small steps, nudges or just leaning forward is better than stopping. Do not lie down. Do not quit. Momentum is a hard thing to drum up from scratch. Once you have it, don’t waste it.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It is easier to commit yourself to a task when you can see its parameters and sense how much time, effort and emotional investment will be needed. Undefined tasks, on the other hand, are scary. This week, be clear about what you’re asking of others and what you are agreeing to.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Fate calls you to action. The request will be specific to you, and others around may be oblivious to the urgent beckoning. Even so, answer the call when you get it. This takes courage because it requires you to run headlong into the unknown. But you can trust that you’re the one, and the time is right.
