VIBRANT COMMUNITY

Last month, Goodrich achieved designa tion as an aquatics professional by the As sociation of Aquatics Professionals (AqP). The designation means he has the educa tion, background and training for what the Association of Aquatic Professionals be lieves describes an aquatic pro.

“It’s a fun job and I love it,” he said in an interview at the 50-year-old swimming pool. “I’m very happy to have it. I’m super proud of the (AqP) designation.”

A Marana Cultural and Heritage Preserva tion Plan will be done to provide a comprehen sive record of historic and cultural resources.

The town aquatics staff and programs are the on cusp of a major expansion. Marana is going to build an indoor aquatics build ing. The project is in the design stage.

Invite citizen involvement and deliver transparent and timely distribution of in formation through a variety of traditional and innovative platforms.

CHERISHED HERITAGE

As aquatics supervisor for the town of Marana, he has his hands full, training life guards and overseeing maintenance of its swimming pool and two splash parks.

Goodrich, 34, has been a town employee for 15 years and has been aquatics supervi sors for six years.

“In the last two years,” he said, “I started a drowning awareness campaign to prepare people for response to a drowning.”

has good memories about hanging out at the Marana pool. He later worked for the town parks and recreation department and became lifeguard certified.

Provide high level public safety services that strengthen Marana’s reputation as a safe and secure town: prepare an annual re port that tracks departmental performance per industry standards and recommends strategies to improve the Marana Police Department; support a safe and informed community through public safety educa tional programs, events and surveys.

A new aspect of this strategic plan is the addition of software that will let town offi cials and the public know how new projects are progressing. It’s by the Envision Com pany and is used for strategic planning and performance management, among other things, Caicedo said.

The town hopes to have the software up and running by the first quarter of 2023, Caicedo said. “This will provide a public dashboard (on the town website).”

Educational programs and initiatives will increase community awareness of the town’s rich heritage.

The town also will provide locations where residents can celebrate and learn about Ma rana’s history and traditions. To that end, the town will leverage developments and public facilities, events and amenities to embed heritage-related art features and cultural ex pression. Also, the town will identify heri tage sites for a heritage museum.

“There’s a lot of new things (in the plan), but it doesn’t highlight everything the town is doing,” Caicedo said, “because there’s a lot going on in the community.”

Goodrich keeps up his lifeguard certi fication and rotates shifts with the eight lifeguards and one head lifeguard on duty during the months the pool is open (Me morial Day through Labor Day). “I see that as very important,” he said.

Build a Marana-wide lifestyle brand; enhance architectural sites and landscape design stan dards: work with Marana Unified School District, MHC Healthcare, Northwest Fire District and others to identify and develop venues for expressing local arts, music and cultural talent in public spaces and facilities.

“I love my job,” Goodrich said. “I get to work in a space where people enjoy being. I’m very humbled to get to be here. It’s very rewarding.”

evin Goodrich has put down deep roots in Marana. They’re so deep he supervises the pool where he learned to swim as a boy.

Lifeguard dives headfirst into career

Provide a safe and connected multi-mod el transportation system to support the mo bility needs of present and future residents: Update the Transportation Master Plan to support a complete streets approach to street design; improve safety for people using all modes of travel by implementing programs, policies, educational resources and infrastructural improvements to min imize traffic congestion.

So what can Marana residents expect from the plan? Here is an abbreviated list of the pro posals under each of the five focus categories:

Historic heritage will be embedded in policy and planning to ensure continuation of the town’s heritage. That will include advance development of Marana Heritage Park and an expansion of current art pol icy to require integration of public art into public and private development projects that captures the town’s heritage.

Establish a strong sense of place through the creation of unique public spaces and architecture that foster community pride.

“We’re excited for the new one,” Goodrich said. “It will be open year-round.” He said he was not sure whether the current pool will re main open when the new facility is completed.

When the pool is closed for the year Go odrich remains busy. He oversees an aquat ics maintenance employee and a parks and recreation worker.

When Goodrich came on board, there weren’t many aquatics programs, he said. He’s proud of the activities the town has added. They include swimming lessons, junior lifeguarding and a youth swimming team. His own children, a son and a daugh ter, are involved in town aquatics programs.

“This new program will show how we are progressing ...,” Honea said. “You’ll say, ‘Hey, you’re doing a plat for a park or they’re going to finance it with this. Now, you’ll be aware of the progress far before you see movement on the site.”

THRIVING COMMERCE

Every week during the summer lifeguards go through rigorous training in CPR and lifeguarding skills. Goodrich also is work ing with the Marana Police Department on CPR and first aid training.

In 2006, he graduated from Marana High School and went on to earn a twoyear degree in fitness and sports science at Pima Community College. Before becom ing aquatics supervisor, Goodrich worked in the town’s recreation sports division.

Half of an avocado also contains 7.5 grams of monounsaturated fatty acids and 1.5 grams of polyunsaturated fatty acid. It has 13 grams of oleic acid — about the same as 1 1/2 ounces of almonds or 2 table spoons of olive oil. (These “good fats” can help you feel fuller longer, too.) Vitamins C, E, and B6 are also found in avocados.

Evidence from an unearthed cave in Mex ico showed that avocados were used as long ago as 10000 BCE and the cultivation of the trees in 5000 BCE. In the United States,

A 30-year study followed 168,786 female nurses from The Nurses’ Health Study (ages 30-55 years) and 41,701 men from the Health Professionals Follow-up Study (ages 40-75) and examined the relationship between avocado consumption and the risk of cardiovascular disease.

“We had 1,200 last year and this year, we’re hoping to have between 1,500 and 2,000.”According to the nonprofit, in 2020, 150,000 Arizonans older than age 65 had Alzheimer’s. By 2025, that number is ex pected to balloon 33.3% to 200,000.

A retired nurse, Debi started having headaches, so she went to a neuro ophthal mologist, that ruled out any eye issues. At the end of 2020, a neurologist at Banner Alzheimer’s Institute ordered a PET scan, which detects early signs of cancer, heart disease and brain disorders.

“I do not want to diminish what every body’s doing for other things. What they’re doing is absolutely fantastic. But patients sit down and hear devastating news, ‘I’m sorry. You have cancer.’ At least you’re able to step back, take a deep breath and hear the physician say, ‘Let me get you with so

“The first year was really hard because we kept getting our hopes up that it was some thing else. She had a CT done and they thought they saw high pressure in the spinal cord.”The two saw a neurologist, who per formed a lumbar puncture and MRI, but the pressure was fine.

That confirmed the Alzheimer’s diagnosis.

“Since then, we’ve been trying to find voic es who will talk about Alzheimer’s because, on TV, you see ads for cancer or Parkinson’s or cystic fibrosis. I don’t know why there’s this stigma with Alzheimer’s. It’s not part of the daily conversation like other diseases.

“It’s many artists, many nonprofits and many organizations coming together to create All Souls, to create this weekend,” said Nadia Hagen, artistic director.

And then there’s the absolutely bizarre obsession with the NFL Draft, which is the oddest phenomenon in all of sports. The day after the Super Bowl, people start talking about the draft, which won’t happen until April. Then, you have guys who make huge bank and their only job is to predict which teams will draft which players. I usu ally don’t begrudge people their money, but these guys have become rich doing the NFL Draft and they are never right! Sometimes they don’t even get the No. 1 pick correct.

They start this year with their best player out for six games and on the You Shouldn’t Have Taken That Drug list. Their quarter back has one of the biggest contracts in the history of the NFL, but still hasn’t shown us anything. He’s a highlight reel machine, but is he a winner?

and started improving, it was still heart breaking. Remember when they got to the Super Bowl and it went down to the wire? They trailed the Steelers, but then Kurt Warner and Larry Fitzgerald hooked up on one of the greatest touchdowns in Super Bowl history. All they had to do was hang on for a couple minutes and Eternal Glory would be theirs. But the Cardinals let the Steelers nickel and dime their way down the fields and score in the final minute.

It wasn’t always this way. A few decades ago, the NFL was deep in the rearview mirror of Major League Baseball. But then baseball got stodgy and steroid-y at the same time and the NFL zoomed past and hasn’t looked back. The NFL is a year-round attention grabber. It’s headline news when the next season’s schedule is announced, prompting media pundits and analysts to pore over the data and say stuff like, “That week 14 matchup between This

Teams that struggled the previous year are given easier schedules, while di vision champs get more challenging slates. Note how the Super Bowl champion Rams had to open the season against this year’s favorite, the Buffalo Bills.

Brooklyn Dodgers general manager Branch Rickey once said that luck is the residue of design.

Athlete of the Week: Chloe Thome

“I used to play the clarinet. I don’t do that anymore.”

BY TOM DANEHY Tucson Local Media

Cross-country runner Chloe Thome attends Canyon Del Oro High School, where she enjoys chemistry. (Chloe Thome/Submitted)

hloe Thome doesn’t really have a fa vorite cross-country course. They all fall in the narrow range between bru tal and completely evil. She’s used to her home course around Canyon Del Oro High School and is familiar with others around Southern Arizona. But while she may not have a favorite, she definitely has a least “Thefavorite.courselast year at state was awful,” sheTherecalls.course in question is the Cave Creek Golf Course, which happens to be in North Phoenix, not in Cave Creek. As it turns out, golf courses are popular places to hold cross country events, especially in Arizona, where courses are carved out of the nat ural surroundings. Golfers can face hilly terrain, undulating fairways, and narrow paths. It’s challenging for golfers but down right nasty for runners.

While Chloe has decidedly mixed feeling about the Cave Creek course, it should be said that she at least battled it to a standstill (although “standstill” is not a good word when you’re talking about cross country).

The first nine finishers all made it un der 20 minutes, but Nos. 10 to 27 were all bunched together between 20 and 21 min utes. She was the top finisher for the Dora dos and helped CDO finish in the Top 20 in the state as a team. (Marana and Ironwood Ridge also both finished in the Top 20.)

But what’s one thing that most people don’t know about her?

Like many high-achiever kids in high school, she has a wide range of interests and isn’t completely sure where she wants to go to college or what she wants to study.

She’s also a hard-working student who carries a tough course load. When asked what her favorite class is (the answer should always be math) she said that she really enjoyed chemistry.

When a runner gets to state, many things can go wrong. They can overtrain that last week leading up to the race instead of re alizing that, after a long, hot season, their body might benefit from easing up a bit. Then there’s the fact for almost everybody in the race, it’s an unfamiliar course. And don’t forget the fact that there are 200 or so people in the race, all wanting to win a StateSomechampionship.quickmath: Two hundred run ners means 400 elbows, all of them flying at the start of the race, staying at the ready in the middle stages, and then making one
