Out of the 11 women in the film, one is from Arizona: Terri Topmiller of Wellton. She is also a veteran. Following the documentary will be a panel discussion with four to five Tucson veteran spouses. The Gold Star Family Memorial was created by Medal of Honor recipient Hershel “Woody” Williams. “It started with that desire to build something for our Gold Star families,” Brownlie said. “They shouldn’t be forgotten. They paid the ultimate sacrifice. People on the streets don’t know about them. We want it to be beautiful location for the Gold Star families to sit and remember their son or daughter.”Thedesign is striking: four granite panels that sit on four granite bases on a concrete foundation. The front will be engraved with “Gold Star Families Memorial Monument” to the left of a saluting soldier. To the right it will say, “A tribute to Gold Star families and relatives who sacrificed a loved one for our freedom.”

“The park has a ramp with an overpass over it and benches at the top of the ramp. It looks at Davis Monthan runway,” she added. “Last year, a friend and I went out there to watch the air show.”

Chris was the 46th member of the military with Southern Arizona ties to die in the ongoing war. Brownlie said she hopes the memorial will be finished by next summer.

CHRONIC PAIN TREATMENTS NOT WORKING!!

Tucson is the birthplace of a brand-new facility that sheds new light on this pressing problem of peripheral neuropathy and chronic pain. The company is trailblazing the medical industry by replacing outdated drugs and symptomatic reprieves with an advanced machine that targets the root of the problem at hand.

Thread could make an appearance next year, Stout said, provided she can find a brand not already available in Tucson and provided the shop grows enough to support it.

New quilt shop brings a modern twist

Tucson AZ – When it comes to chronic pain and/ or neuropathy, the most common doctor-prescribed treatment is drugs like Gabapentin, Lyrica, Cymbalta, and Neurontin. The problem with antidepressants or anti-seizure medications like these is that they offer purely symptomatic relief, as opposed to targeting and treating the root of the problem. Worse, these drugs often trigger an onset of uncomfortable, painful, and sometimes harmful side

The drugs your doctor might prescribe will temporarily conceal the problems, putting a “Band-Aid” over a situation that will only continue to deteriorate without further Thankfully,action.

THE GREAT NEWS IS THAT THIS TREATMENT IS COVERED BY MEDICARE, MEDICAID, AND INSURANCES!!MOST Depending on your coverage, your peripheral neuropathy treatment could cost almost nothing – or be absolutely free.

“The response was just overwhelming,” she said. “It was very clear that there was a need for another quilt shop in town.”

Arrowhead Physical Medicine begins by analyzing the extent of the nerve damage – a complimentary service for your friends and family. Each exam comprises a detailed sensory evaluation, extensive peripheral vascular testing, and comprehensive analysis of neuropathy findings.

Theeffects.only way to effectively treat chronic pain and/or peripheral neuropathy is by targeting the source, which is the result of nerve damage owing to inadequate blood flow to the nerves in the hands and feet. This often causes weakness, numbness,balance problems. A lack of nutrients causes the nerves degenerate – an insidious As displayed in figure 1 above, the nerves are surrounded by diseased, withered blood vessels. A lack of sufficient nutrients means the nerves cannot survive, and thus, slowly die. This leads to those painful and frustrating consequences we were talking about earlier, like weakness, numbness, tingling, balance issues, and perhaps even a burning sensation.

See QUILTS P8

Effective neuropathy treatment relies on the following three factors: 1. Finding the underlying cause 2. Determining the extent of the nerve damage (above 95% nerve loss is rarely treatable) 3. The amount of treatment required for the patient’s unique condition Arrowhead Physical Medicine in Tucson, AZ uses a state-of-the-art electric cell signaling systems worth $100,000.00. Th is groundbreaking treatment is engineered to achieve the following, accompanied by advanced diagnostics and a basic skin biopsy to accurately analyze results: 1. Increases blood flow 2. Stimulates and strengthens small fiber nerves 3. Improves brain-based pain

BY KAREN SCHAFFNER Tucson Local Media By & by quilt shop isn’t the stereotypical store. It has a lot of the familiar stuff: bolts of cotton fabric lining the walls; fat quarters, quilt kits and patterns; and a green self-healing mat and rotary cutter. One look at the fabric and patterns, however, and you know by & by is a shop for a new generation of “Youquilters.cancall me hipster,” owner Bailey Stout said, when someone suggested the appellation. “No one ever has before but I approve.”There’s the Quilt Basket on Tanque Verde, the Quilter’s Market on Speedway and Cactus Quilt on Oracle. Now, located in a cute little building — only 900 square feet, so don’t expect loads of selection — at 2569 E. Fort Lowell, by & by is the latest addition to Tucson’s vibrant quilting community.Stout opened the shop in April of this year but has been in the quilt shop business since 2020, going live online during the pandemic lockdown. It’s something she had been thinking about for some time, but going into business for yourself is not the way to a fat bank account, she said. Still, she was not stepping into unfamiliar territory.“I grew up in retail,” said Stout, who also offers items online. “My dad had a department store and we lived above the store, and it was kind of my life.” Although she had always wanted to own her own store, Stout studied education in college, making international higher education her career. Then the pandemic hit, which “changed the landscape of my field,” she said. “No one was traveling here or anywhere else. The field was bleak.” She made her own escape route, she said. “Being able to do it from home is perfect because no one can go anywhere,” Stout said. “I can sell from my own home.” It wasn’t such a big leap to opening her brick-and-mortar store. The problem, though, is cost. It is just so much more expensive because of the overhead. Stout raised the capital by vending at local and Phoenix quilt shows. She not only raised the funds, she learned that although there are already three quilt shops here, there’s also a place for her brand of quilt making.

The number of treatments required varies from patient to patient, and can only be determined following an in-depth neurological and vascular examination. As long as you have less than 95% nerve damage, there is hope!

The shop really only carries fabric and patterns; do not look for notions here.

It’s really the type of fabric that distinguishes by & by from the other shops. The fabrics are, well, quirky. Take, for example, the small bananas or typewriter prints.

BY KATYA MENDOZA Local Media he San Xavier Mission School suspended its academic operations indefinitely Aug. 12, two weeks after the first day of school. Opened in 1864, San Xavier is the first Catholic school in Arizona and ministry of the San Xavier del Bac Mission. The Roman Catholic Diocese of Tucson ceased operations after the discovery of the lack of a kindergarten teacher, forcing five kindergarten students who were enrolled, to move to other schools. The principal had also resigned the week before the start of the school year. This resulted in a drop of enrollment numbers that the school budget could not support, according to a letter that was sent to families written by the parish’s pastor, Friar Ponchie Vasquez OFM. The school had experienced about a 50% decrease in enrollment over the past five to six years, said Sheri Dahl, superintendent of Catholic schools. “The students deserved the type of quality education that the school unfortunately can’t provide right now.”

“It’s going to take a collaborative effort with the local community, with the parish and the diocese,” Dahl said. “We are hopeful that it’s going to open in a way that will engage the community and will be a quality education center.”

“We must suspend school operations indefinitely with the goal of restructuring and reorganizing with the goal of reopening San Xavier Mission School in the future,” Vasquez said. Dahl said the Diocese called every affected family that evening to talk with them and let them know that the other nine Catholic schools in Tucson had their doors open.Santa Cruz Catholic School, which is about 10 to 15 minutes away from San Xavier, was prepared to admit all 45 students, Dahl said. “Currently, a majority of the families are transferring to Santa Cruz,” Dahl said. Staff from St. John the Evangelist Catholic School, said they would also be accepting students as well as St. Ambrose Catholic School, with the possibility of one.

“Tuition is not a barrier at all,” Dahl said. “They will be taken care of.” Students’ scholarships would transfer over to any other Catholic school with the support of Arizona’s Catholic Tuition Support Organization.Dahl,who has been with the Diocese for 13 years, said that after students and families are taken care of, the next phase will be renovating and working on a plan of reorganization.

The school had restructured to a K-6 school just last spring. After school let out Aug. 12, Diocesan staff handed the letter from Father Vasquez to families explaining the situation.

The cozy midtown restaurant closed for part of July for a facelift and additions to its drink menu, to install booths, a bar and new wood flooring. The restaurant reopened July 26 with a bit more capacity, from 48 to 52. The brighter color scheme and new lighting also have resulted in a more bright and open space. “We tried to refresh everything, to be more friendly,” says Polish Cottage’s owner, Robert Stawicki. “My wife had a vision.”Agnieszka Stawicka modestly describes what she did to reimagine the pace. “I’m a little artistic,” she says. “I did those paper cutouts.” After a decade, Stawicka says it was time to change things. “We decided to refresh, but we also kept some of the old decorations,” she says. “We decided to do the lighter colors on the walls.”Customers seem to be happy with the revamped space. “I think it’s more airy and lighter than before,” says Anna Clayton, a 42-year-old electrical engineer in Tucson. “I’ve visited Poland twice, and it feels like I’m in Poland again when I eat here.” Polish Cottage opened in September 2011, 10 years after the owners moved to Tucson from Warsaw. They brought recipes that have been in the family for generations.While diners take advantage of specials and enjoy traditional fare and friendly service, Polish music plays in the background. Happy hour takes place from 3 to 6 p.m. Tuesdays to Fridays and feature $2 off appetizers and specialty drinks; $3.50 16-ounce Polish beer bottles; and $7 house wines by the glass. A late-night menu is from 7 to 9 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and features half-priced bottles of wine. And on Sundays, enjoy $5 mimosas all day. From 6 to 8 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays, buy a bottle of wine and get a dozen free pierogi. On Wednesdays, purchase one order of pierogi and get a second order for half-price.Peopletend to think of hearty dishes of meats, pierogi and stuffed cabbage when it comes to Polish food. While that is true, Polish Cottage’s menu also features sandwiches, soups, starters and desserts. The pierogi are filled with potatoes and cheese, beef, sauerkraut and mushrooms, or sweet farmer’s cheese ($11.49 for eight pieces; $13.95 for 10 pieces; $16.20 for 12 pieces).Diners who can’t decide can opt for the Polish combo plate ($23.95 for one; $45.50 for two) or the vegetarian polish combo plateManager($17.50).Aleks Stawicka, 22, has managed Polish Cottage for her parents for about three years. “It’s very homey food,” she says. “A lot of it is stews and sausages. I think for a lot of people it reminds them of home or their family’s cooking. It provides something unique and special.”

“I see more and more peo ple here using the equipment,” says Therese. “I can say you really do have to be trained in how to use it correctly, and once you do, it’s almost as good as a post-workout massage.” Todd adds, “Residents now have access to unique equip ment that will enrich their fit ness routine, and more impor tantly, enhance mobility while reducing pain.”

Measuring Success Todd and his staff knew these tools could be effective, yet they wanted real proof. So they re cruited 18 residents and staff members for a six-week program that explained the Therabody tools and how to use them. “Our results were remarkable, indicat ing multiple improvements in the participants’ optimal quality of life,” says Todd. “After we in troduced and demonstrated the devices the first week, people practiced isolating specific body areas on their own and—with the Theragun—during a group exercise class.” Resident Therese Jezioro found the program extremely valuable. “I use the devices after exercise, mainly, and they really do take away soreness—espe cially in the big muscle groups,” she says. “The WaveRoller can hit all the parts of your back, and it makes a big difference. Today, after circuit training, I targeted my glutes and quads.” Participants were surveyed before and after the program.

“Our survey responses show that 88.2% participants no ticed marked improvements after using the devices,” reports Todd. Areas of improvement included pain levels, range of motion and mobility, soreness, and blood circulation. “The most frequently cited area of improvement was upper legs, followed by shoulders, lower legs and gluteal muscles,” says Todd. Looking Ahead The Splendido fitness team plans to offer more Therabody workshops and is using the de vices in personal training ses sions and circuit training class es. Residents who participated in the first training continue to use the devices on their own and tell others about the bene fits they are experiencing.

By the time this appears in print and online, the U.S. Open might well be over for Rafael Nadal. The limits to which he has pushed his body and his mind in pursuit of tennis excellence are taking their revenge. At the age of 36, he is both a living icon and something of an oldIt’sman.like what Apollo Creed said to Rocky Balboa, “It’s a shame that we have to get old.” A great athlete like Nadal spends the majority of his life getting in top shape, working on his game, toughening himself up mentally (a big part of tennis), only to get to a point where things start going downhill.Heholds the record for the most major tournaments won (22), but he could have several more were it not for injuries popping up at the most inopportune times. He was cruising at Wimbledon when an abdominal injury caused him to forfeit in the semifinals. He’s in a good spot if he can stay healthy. A couple of top challengers got upset in the first round and knucklehead Novak Djokovic was not allowed in the country because he still refuses to get vaccinated. All politics aside, the absolute worst thing the vaccines have proven to be for some people are ineffective.

Nadal can win a few more before his 36-year-old body fails on him for the final time. It will be tough for him to stay ahead of Djokovic, who is one year younger than Nadal, but much less injured. Whatever happens, Nadal is guaranteed to go down as one of the all-time greats in the history of tennis.

I played tennis in high school and college, but it was always No. 4 for me. It was miles behind football and basketball for me and, at the time, it was even behind baseball! (Oh, the folly of youth!) When I was a kid, I loved to watch Rod Laver play tennis. He was like a bully gnome. Listed as 5-foot-8, that was either vanity or a defective measuring device. He couldn’t have been more than 5-foot-7 (and probably shorter). Adding to his vertical deficiency, he walked somewhat stooped over; I guess his greatness was just weighing him down. Laver was (and, at 84, still is) a pale Australian who had a constant sunburn during the season. (I guess they didn’t have sunscreen back then.) He was a left hander who, like most people back then, hit a one-handed backhand. What he did mostly was demolish people. He once won the Wimbledon title match in 58 minutes! If you don’t know how crazy that is, watch the U.S. Open this week. They have a giant clock showing how long the match has been going on. It often says three or four hours. So, the year after he won the championship match in 58 minutes, he won it again, this time in 57 minutes.Laver is the only player ever to win the Grand Slam twice. He probably could have done it more times, but during the peak years of his career, there was an upheaval in tennis where some events were reserved for amateurs, while others were for professionals only. He missed out on around 20 opportunities to win majors during that period.When you mention Grand Slams, you just have to mention what Don Budge did in the late 1930s. He was the first person to win a Grand Slam and he also won six major titles — in a row. At the age of 22 (and 23), he won Wimbledon and the U.S. Open in 1937, and then the Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon, and the U.S. Open in 1938. Those turned out to be the only major titles he would win because tennis basically shut down with the onset of World War II in Europe in the late 1930s and the rest of the world in the early ’40s. The early focus of this U.S. Open was on Serena Williams, who announced that this would be her last major. She won her opening round match easily, but then faced the No. 2 player in the world in the second round. All Williams did was knock off the highly favored Anett Kontaveit in a threesetHowthriller.cool would it be for Williams and Nadal to both go out as champions?

he city’s only professional ballet company has made of lots of changes thisButyear.the future looks great. The new company director, Margaret Mullin, danced for years at the revered Pacific Northwest Ballet and rose to the coveted role of solo ist. She’s young and energetic, a Tucson na tive who studied at Ballet Tucson as a child. She’s already created her own works, and she knows star choreographers. For the November concert, just for exam ple, she has lined up Justin Peck, the cho reographer at The New York City Ballet, to mount one of his pieces. Mullin has brought in a pair of married dancers, Danielle Fu and Liang Fu, who have danced for years in Kansas City and at Cincinnati before that. Liang has hit stages around the world. The two of them will take the stage as principal dancers and serve as co-directors of the school. Chieko Imada, long a main stay of the company, now also holds the title of choreographer in residence, in addi tion to associate artistic director. With the company now 31 dancers strong, the troupe is raring to dance. They will have plenty of chances in the compa ny’s three concerts this fall. Here’s a brief list of the shows.

Justin Peck’s “In Creases” brought him to national attention in 2012. The 15-minute modernist piece, with eight performers, shows off “his mastery of geometry with dancers,” Mullin says. The music is by Phil ip Glass, and Peck was the choreographer for Steven Spielberg’s “West Side Story.”

Next is “Pas de Deux” from “Klein Per spectives,” a work by Andrea Giselle Scher moly, with music by Olafur Arnalds. The dance is a short series of vignettes inspired by the French artist Yves Klein. “Raymonda Variations” is a 19th century classical ballet choreographed by Chieko Imada, after Marius Petipa. Danielle Fu and Liang Fu play lovers who dance the famous pas de deux. The dance has with a big cast of dancers in fluffy white tutus.

In the 1980s and 1990s, she sang jazz and R&B at jazz festivals, benefit concerts and community events. She’d pack the house at the former Obsessions night club. She even performed at the Apollo Theater in Harlem and was filmed for the series “Showtime at the Apollo.” She and the band she sang with per formed for the NAACP and the Urban League. “We got top-notch gigs,” Austin said. “Never enough, they were few and far be tween and they didn’t pay a lot. We did it because that’s what I loved to do. It’s a gift that God gave me.” She even sang twice for then-governor Bruce Babbitt.

Ada Redd Austin has come a long way since the days of singing songs from Dionne Warwick, Sarah Vaughan and Nancy Wilson into her hair brush.The Tucson jazz artist is looking forward to packing the house on Saturday, Sept. 10, at The Dunbar Pavilion when she’ll per form the R&B songs that made her famous in a concert titled “An Evening of Beautiful Music.”Theevent is a fundraiser, produced by Jennifer Davis-Paige, the founder of Boom Goddess Radio, Tucson’s top Black wom an-owned podcast company. The bene ficiary is KRDP Radio, a public station of Desert Soul Media. The two women have a lot in common. Both have blazed trails for women of color and pursued their dream with passion and perseverance. They met a year ago when Davis-Paige was doing a podcast on June teenth. Austin, in addition to being a musi cian, is a retired schoolteacher with plenty of knowledge about the holiday celebrating the day the last enslaved people in Texas got word of their liberation. “When I was looking for people to inter view to talk about it, her name came up,” Davis-Paige said. “I have a four-part inter view and that’s how she and I met. At that time, she told me she was a singer. I went to a couple afternoons that she was perform ing, and I loved her voice. Then COVID came and nobody could go anywhere or do anything.”Whenthe opportunity came up for this fundraiser both jumped at the chance to make it a concert featuring Austin.

KRDP Radio is Arizona’s first Blackowned radio in more than 20 years and they are raising money to pay for their FCC licensing. While they are based in Phoenix, they have plans to expand to Tucson and people can listen to the station online.

KRDP launched after years of effort on the part of the found ers, Kaja Brown and Calvin J. Worthen, who are also the top executives for Desert Soul Media. They re cently secured their FCC license. “I would like (Tuc son residents) to know how important it is that there hasn’t been an African Ameri can-owned and -op erated radio station in Arizona for over 20 years,” Davis-Paige said. “These two young men have been working on getting a station for four years. This has been their goal and their dream.” The benefit evening will have two parts and patrons can buy tickets for either just the con cert or the concert and VIP event. The con cert will be $30 in advance and $35 at the door and the VIP event is $250. The VIP event starts at Urban Grove at 4 p.m. with wine and hors d’oeuvres.

“The night of the show — it was standing room only,” Austin said. “It was packed. I was so grateful for the community. I’m a people person, I’m a retired schoolteach er. I taught kids in sixth grade and love to interact with the audience. I have them singing. I talk to them and serenade them. I love on them.” It was the start of her launching her own series of concerts, often as fundraisers or celebrating events like Juneteenth.

The Dunbar has been remodeled since Austin last performed there in 2017, but she said it will build a smaller stage for her designed in a crescent so that she can be closer to the audience. “I don’t like to be way up,” Austin said. “I don’t want to be looking down at the audi ence. I want to be looking at them the way they’re looking at me. I like that intimacy.”

a Valentine’s Day gig at the Tucson Museum of Art. However, for the next couple years she struggled to find the number of gigs she wanted, despite her se ries of sold-out shows. It was then she decided to take a different track with her career. “I decided maybe I can produce my own show,” Austin said. “I had never thought of doing that at this late state in my life. I prayed about it, and everything just started falling in place.” She approached Doug Martin, her longtime band leader and pianist, and he was on board. His wife, Cheryl Martin, helped to publi cize her first self-organized event that took her back to the Dunbar.

Like Austin, Davis-Paige grew up listen ing to the great female jazz stars such as Sarah Vaughan and Ella Fitzgerald. “Ava reminded me of those women’s voices,” Davis-Paige said. “She’s got won derful followers in Tucson. This will be her first concert since COVID.”

“It was a really serious decision I made when I was pretty young, but I’m glad I did it. I love football and I love Mountain View football.”

Isaiah Ramirez learned a hard lesson about inflation at the beginning of this school year. The senior two-way football player at Marana Mountain View High School actually lives in the old mining town of San Manuel. It’s a 45-mile drive each way; not a bad drive, really. Up Veterans Me morial Boulevard, past the airport and the golf course, until you get to State Route 77 (which we in Tucson know as Oracle Road). Route 77 takes you past the town of Or acle and the Biosphere, into the town of Catalina and finally to Oro Valley. Isaiah sees this every single day and has for threeplus years. But this year is different. “Man, the price of gas hit really hard. I was spend ing like $100 a week just to get to school andWhyback.”would someone who lives in San Manuel go all the way to Mountain View for school? “I did it for football. I love football. I love everything about it, and no offense to San Manuel, where I grew up and a lot of my friends still are, but I wanted to chal lenge myself.” For the first couple years that Isaiah was at Mountain View, San Manuel was in Class 2A, the second-smallest level for schools in Arizona. But recently, the Miners were dropped down to Class 1A, the lowest lev el. Not only did it mean that they would be playing the smallest schools in Arizona in every sport, it also meant that the football team would go from playing 11-man foot ball to playing eight-man football. (Small schools often have enrollments of around 100 students or less, so playing eight-man is often the only way that a school can field a team.)“Imiss my friends and all, but I’m glad I’m not playing eight-man football. Like I said, I want to challenge myself, but I would also like to continue playing football af ter high school. It would be pretty hard for a player from an eight-man squad to get a scholarship or even get looked at by col leges.”Isaiah plays running back and linebacker for coach Matt Johnson’s Mountain Lions.

As for a long way, Isaiah knows all about that. Having driven that route through blaz ing heat and thick snowfall, he has never re gretted his decision.

Johnson, who had remarkable success as a member of Vern Friedli’s staff 20 years ago before turning around a moribund program at Rincon and then winning a state title at Ironwood Ridge, has struggled a bit at Mountain View. His program got slammed by COVID-19 two years ago and his team was only allowed to play two games.

Isaiah Ramirez loves football and, especially, Mountain View football. (Isaiah Ramirez/Submitted)

Last year was supposed to be a good year, but the Lions lost a heartbreaking, season-opening 13-12 game to district rival Marana and stumbled home to a 4-6 record and missed the playoffs. “This year is different,” Isaiah said. “Last year, we had good players, but the team didn’t come together all that well. This year, you can just feel the energy. You feel it in the weight room, on the practice field, and I think everybody is going to feel it when we start playing games.” Mountain View opened its season at home Sept. 2 against Marana. Both teams are hop ing to reach the 5A state playoffs this year and that season opener might go a long way toward determining whether one or both teams have a shot at the postseason.

Gloria P. of Tucson AZ worked overtime as a nurse to help people get through the pandemic.

Fortunately for Gloria, Acupuncturist Renée Stucklen has been reversing the effects of peripheral neuropathy for over 10 years without invasive surgeries or medications that come with uncomfortable side effects.
