The project opened to traffic Aug. 1 and will be fully finished on Aug. 22, Marana town offi cials said. By that date solar streetlamps will be installed. Solar lamps are necessary because there is no dedicated public electrical access in the area.

A new roundabout is changing traffic flow for the better at the intersection of Twin Peaks and Sandario roads in Marana.

The city promised nearby Marana High School that it would finish the project by the opening of school (Aug. 8). In order to complete it in two months’ time, the city closed Sandario Road to traffic during construction. “If we had to do it under open road (condi tions), it would have taken four months,” said Mac Murray, project manager with the town of Marana Public Works Department. “It was a unique challenge with all the material challenges but we were able to pull it off,” he said. There were concrete shortages during con struction and contractors couldn’t get full orders of concrete, Murray explained. That was ironic, considering there are two cement plants in Ma rana: CMEX Marana Apex Concrete Plant and CalPortland Rillito Cement Plant. There were plant shutdowns, Murray said, and a lot of the concrete produced here is sent to oth er places. The cement shortage also affected new home construction in Arizona.

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 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!

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. 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. 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. 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)

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 Adult Probation Department of the Superior Court in Pima County launched Clear My Warrant, a felony warrant resolution plan that will help bring probation absconders back into com pliance without serving time in jail. A person on probation “absconds” by not following the terms and conditions set by the court, including not making themselves available for supervision. Clear My Warrant is a no-court, no-jail program that will allow many the ability to clear their felony probation warrant with out fear of being arrested and incarcerated. Individuals will contact the adult probation department, and, if eligible, have their war rant quashed and be reinstated to probation supervision without going to court or to jail. To the absconder, this may seem too good to be true. “It is about public safety and reforma tion,” said David Sanders, Pima County Su perior Court’s chief probation officer. “The public is much better protected when the probationer complies with proba tion conditions. The probationer is much more likely to be rehabilitated when they receive services enabling them to live and thrive in the mainstream of public life.”

Pima County Superior Court’s Adult Probation Department is one of only five jurisdictions countrywide participating in ISLG’s solutions-based “Reducing Re vocations” program. The initiative directs resources to local court and justice agency leaders to support individuals on probation experiencing the effects and challenges of substance use, mental health disorders, un employment and homelessness. Unanswered, all create barriers to a pro bationer completing supervision success fully. Clear My Warrant will help individu als accept accountability and get their lives back on track without the fear of being arrested and incarcerated. This in turn will reduce violence, uphold public safety, save taxpayer dollars, and promote fairness and justice in our community, helping close the probation-to-incarceration pipeline.

Sanders stressed that not all absconders are el igible for warrant resolution without jail, includ ing those convicted of certain violent crimes, those who have new felony charges pending, or those who are wanted on additional warrants.

County unveils Clear My Warrant

“Individuals most appropriate for the Clear My Warrant program are on proba tion for drug or property crimes, who may have absconded because of their substance use issues,” Sanders said. Grant funding for this initiative was pro vided by the CUNY Institute for State and Local Governance (ISLG). ISLG’s support will also subsidize drug testing and pay for public transportation, helping remove some of the barriers an individual con fronts when trying to comply with their probation conditions.

Tucson author pens debut picture book

Tucson Local Media Cynthia Harmony was devastated when a tragic earthquake hit her hometown of Mexico City while she was living in Tucson in 2017. Even from afar, Harmony was touched by the resolve of her friends, family and one-time neighbors. In her debut children’s book, “Mi Ciudad Sings” (Penguin Ran dom House), she shares a fictionalized ver sion of the story. In “Mi Ciudad Sings,” a little girl and her dog embark on their daily walk through the city, they skip and spin to the famil iar sounds of revving cars, clanking bikes, friendly barks, and whistling camote carts. But what they aren’t expecting to hear is the terrifying sound of a rumbling earth quake—and then silence. With captivating text and lively illus trations, this story leaves readers with the message that they can choose to be strong and brave even when they are scared, and can still find joy and hope in the midst of sadness. “My family was in Mexico and a lot of my friends who were psychologists were offer ing services for people,” she said. “People really came together. What was striking about it was the outpouring of generosity. It was very moving and inspir ing.”Harmony will sign copies of her book from 11 a.m. to noon Saturday, Aug. 20, at Barnes & Noble in Foothills Mall. Harmony has long published for the educational market here and in Mexico City. “I’m an educational psychol ogist,” said Harmony, who has lived in Tucson for 12 years. “For my graduate school, I went to Spain and after that all the re search for that went into a series of textbooks that were published in“AfterMexico.that, I wanted to continue doing that.

The Twin Peaks and Sandario roads roundabout is the second to have been completed in recent months. On June 24, the “Spirit of Marana” public project was unveiled at the Main Street and Sandario Road roundabout in downtown Marana. The art features a cowboy on horseback, cow and a saguaro cactus made from met al plating. Also featured are letters reading “Downtown Marana.” It was made possible by the Pima Association of Government’s Transportation Art by Youth Program and Marana Unified School District. Designer and welder Trevor O’Tool oversaw the production by Marana High School students Gabrial Kilbarger and Joseph Wagner, along with welding instructor Kenton Webb. Murray said there are no current plans for an art project at the Twin Peaks and Sandario roads roundabout. But he said he wouldn’t be surprised if it became the site of a future art project.

Pain, sensitivity to hot and cold food and drinks, infection and possible tooth loss are direct consequences of dental caries. Longer-term outcomes include continued pain (acute or chronic and dull), decreased hygiene because it hurts to brush, halitosis (bad breath), diminished nutritional status leading to malnutrition, poor appearance, alterations in speech, and periodontal dis ease.These then can lead to further problems such as inattention and distress at work or school, greater pain, loss of more teeth, con tinued degradation of appearance which has psychological and emotional effects. Research into the link between oral health and systemic illnesses such as heart disease continues to be a hot topic. Good dental health is vital for good general health. We all have bacteria in our mouths. These bacteria change all foods (especially sugar and starch) into acids. The bacteria, food, saliva, and acid combine to form plaque that sticks to the teeth. The plaque can be gin to accumulate in just twenty minutes after eating. If this is not removed with regular brush ing and flossing, it hardens into tartar which can irritate the teeth and gums caus ing tooth decay and gingivitis, an inflam mation of the gum tissue. The acids in the plaque dissolve the enamel surface of the tooth and create holes in the tooth. The tooth decays and, if left untreated, an abscess can develop, or the internal structures are damaged enough to cause tooth loss. Aging teeth must be cared for to protect against gum disease as well as tooth decay.

9Marana News, August 17, 2022 BY MIA SMITT Who has not experienced the oc casional ache of a dental cavity? A dental cavity (also known as caries) is a hole that damages the structure of a tooth. Despite being preventable, dental caries is perhaps the most prevalent chronic dis ease in both children and adults. The CDC reported that 76% of 12 to 17 years old ad olescents have had at least one cavity and 94% of all United States adults ages 18 and older have had cavities. We have seen significant improvements over the past 50 years in the United States from almost universal water fluoridation to improved treatment option. Unless treated early and effectively, the damage from caries is both irreversible and cumulative. Dental cavities have both immediate and long-term consequences. Anyone who has suffered from a cavity or broken tooth knows the aching and in creased irritation it causes.

This certainly includes tooth and gum dis ease.Of course, the No. 1 prevention strategy is good oral hygiene. Regular brushing at least twice daily, flossing at least once daily and regular dental exams with professional cleaning every six to twelve months are the foundation of good dental health. Sealants are popular for children, but older people also benefit from the pro tective coating the sealants provide. Fluo ride protects the enamel from the acids in plaque. In addition to the fluoride in our water supply, it is often added to toothpaste and mouthwash for a topical application. As with all health issues, diet plays an im portant role in good dental health. A good diet promotes good general health which promotes better dental health. Chewy foods, sticky foods, even healthy snacks such as raisins and other dried fruits should be eaten as part of a meal rather than as a snack.They stick to the teeth and the action of chewing other foods and drinking liquids helps to loosen them from tooth surfaces. Frequent snacking creates a constant sup ply of acid, potentially harming the teeth surfaces. This includes sugary candies, chewing gum, and mints. bid was submitted by Granite Construction. There was about one year of design work needed before construction got underway, Murray said. On the day the roundabout opened, traf fic was running smoothly, Murray said. “It’s performing way better without the fourway stop,” he said.

The Speedway Boulevard oddity shop — the parent company of Where + When Co. — is home to the macabre as well as refurbished furniture and secondhand home goods. Co-owned and operated by former spouses Bridgett and Bryan Scofield, the business part ners connect through their love of vintage. Bridgett was raised in the “business” of yard and estate sales and flea markets, later becoming a vendor at antique malls. “I was the one who would go in and make stores pretty with all the vignettes of dis plays,” Bridgett said. She balanced her time between stores in Tucson and Phoenix, working for lit tle return, before opening a store with a “community focus” that benefits vendors. Woolly Fern, which moved to its current location over a year ago, offers lower rent al spaces and commission rates, keeping more of the sales in vendors’ pockets. The space “rotates” its vendor booths, while the sellers bring in fresh goods, Bridgett said. Even moving a furniture piece on display from the front to the back of the store or bringing it to eye level can make an item feel new. The vintage business is hard work and time consuming, and society’s short atten tion span is an added obstacle. But the Sco fields’ keen eyes have helped them develop a curated collection with a lot of character.

“There are all kinds of ideas and collabo rations and new friendships that are sparked through these events,” Bridgett said. The events include monthly art shows, flash tattoo specials, oddities markets and the upcoming Dirty T Punk Rock Flea Market on Saturday, Oct. 1, and Sunday, Oct. 2, at the Tucson Expo Center. The Hal loween-themed event will include over 100 “spooky and vintage” vendors and tattoos.

reminiscent of childhood. Items like Corelle Vitrelle dishware sets from the 1970s “remind people of their youth,” Bryan said. “It’s really cool when people make those connections.” From “crafty stuff” to coffins, World War II military memorabilia to Halloween dec orations, the items span decades. The Scofields notice a resurgence of mid-century modern and gothic furniture and home decor and even 1970s everything. “It was an era of carefree, anything goes, good vibes, positive energy,” Bridgett said. “A lot of people are going right back to that because that’s what it encompasses — hap py, good times.”

The turnaround rate was a week or two. Like a well-oiled machine, Bryan strips and sands a piece before handing it off to Bridgett, who determines a color scheme and completes the final finishing. In the on going battle of old versus new, the two have also noticed a difference in quality between modern-day and vintage furnishings.

“That’s why we always go back to vintage and antique because we know that the items were created to last,” Bridgett said. “We want to give people alternative options.”

While the Scofields do recognize a de mand for “locally made small business” items, they apply their own twist on home made products using mostly salvaged ma terials to prevent waste. “You know that you’re not increasing the carbon footprint of stuff being man ufactured (nor) supporting sweatshops,”

“Even what’s considered a cheap dresser, it’s still together,” Bryan said. “Whereas a new one, if you set it or move it wrong, it’s going to fall apart.”

“It comes down to fostering positive and healthy relationships with other business es,” Bridgett said.Vintage cameras are among the items available at Woolly Fern. (Katya Mendoza/Staff)

The store, which tries to “hit every demo graphic,” is constantly finding “that” cus tomer base while prioritizing affordability. “We purchase a lot of high-quality vin tage and antique furniture that needs to be refinished in some way,” Bridgett said. “Sometimes we end up buying too much.” With a background in construction, Bry an refinishes furniture, while others are placed on display as is. With stores like Home Depot color matching, refurbishing is affordable. Furniture paint, finishes and waxes are in increased demand. Bridgett said some are updating existing furniture in their homes due to the increased cost-of-living expenses.

Another element of xeriscaping is what you use to “bed” your plants. There are a variety of options, including rocks, mulch, wood chips. The benefits are many. “It keeps weeds down,” Mead said. “It also helps prevent soil erosion. It brings the surface temperature down, too, so it pre vents evaporation.”

“Monsoon season in late, late August is really the perfect time to plant,” he said.Where does a novice xeriscaper be gin? The first thing Mead will ask you is “Isthis:it full sun, part sun? So, the shade-sun situation,” he said. Then he will want to know if you have drip irrigation in place. If not, are you willing to hand water the plants? Even native plants need a bit of extra water. “We just cannot rely on rainfall alone,” Mead said. Some people do not want to fuss with their garden. In that case, Mead recommends planting cactus. Next to consider is where the cacti will be planted. “Is it on a berm, which is like on a hill?” Mead asked. “Or the opposite of that would be a swale, which is a basin where water rests. If it is at a low point, I might suggest that you plant it somewhere else because if we do get heavy rains, the water sits there, and it might rot out the cactus.”There’s also how the cactus was oriented in relation to the sun when it was growing up. Some cacti are marked with that infor mation, but you should also ask the person at the nursery, Mead said. “The western part of the cactus that gets more intense sun actually develops thicker tissue to prevent it from burning,” he said. “Always check for orientation.”

Just to get you started, Mead has a couple of favorites he likes to recommend, begin ning with a semi-evergreen native shade tree, called lysiloma watsonii or fern of the desert. It grows to about 20 to 25 feet and its leaves are tiny and soft. It’s only draw back, Mead says, is it drops seed pods. “The benefit to planting trees in a xeriscape situation is that it provides shade, which also cuts back on evaporation,” he said.

“I want to put an emphasis on planting native because that will reduce the need for water, and it will promote native flora and fauna, like pollinators and native species that rely on these plants,” Mead said. “Wa ter conservation is very important.”

“To start off, you could collect seeds from around your neighborhood,” he said. “You can plant your own plants from seeds that are grown here in town. It’s that easy.”

BY KAREN SCHAFFNER Tucson Local Media It’s dry out there. No, not the humidity, we all know that’s fairly high, but accord ing to drought.gov Tucson is experienc ing its ninth driest year in more than a century. Like, in 128 years. This might be a good time to consider switching to xeriscaping. What’s that? For Frank Mead, a supervisor and plant expert at the nursery/gallery Green Things, it means using native plants or plants that are well adapted to this Sonoran Desert climate.

Although concern over water usage is only growing, there is still a need for green spaces, which can be achieved using a min imum amount of water. In addition, be cause this is monsoon season, which Mead calls a second springtime, it’s time to plant.

For shrubbery, Mead suggests creosote bushes, which has a great aroma when it rains, or Apache plume, which has a showy flower with feathery plumes. Mead also recommends native grasses such as pink muhly grass. Are you confused yet? Another plant ex pert at Green Things — and just about any nursery — will tell you to simply ask. They do have answers. Take Jonathan Wolfel; he wants to help. He said you don’t even have to start at the nursery.

Xeriscaping achieves a lot with a little

“We all started off as novices,” Mead said.

Still, “Low water doesn’t mean no water,” he added. “Everything needs a little supple mental water to thrive.”

The main thing to remember is to con sider native species.

It’s a lot to keep in mind, but both Mead and Wolfel have an encouraging word.

“You can plant things and design your yard so you can use as little water as pos sible,” Mead said. “I prefer going all native; that’s kind of a trend right now, because it’s not just the plants but the fauna, the wild life they attract. There’s a lot of native spe cies that rely on these native plants.”

Things are looking up for Wildcats football

EXTRA POINT WITH TOM DANEHY

Where last year, I expected the Cats to win (at least) two of their three non-conference games, I can’t see how they will win any of them this year. They open at San Diego State, which will be unveiling the school’s shiny new football stadium. Then there’s a game at Ari zona Stadium against Mississippi State, which is not necessarily one of the stronger teams in the Southeastern Conference, but is neverthe less a team in the Southeastern Conference.

BY TOM DANEHY

Last year at about this time, I wrote a col umn that was somewhat dismissive of the oddsmakers in Las Vegas who gave the Arizona Wildcats football team a really disrespectful over/under number of 2 1/2. That meant that bettors could wager as to whether the Wildcats would either win two games or fewer, or three games or more. In strictly mathematical terms, the over/ under is one of the better wagers one can make, especially if it has a 1/2 in it. De pending on how skillfully the Vegas people place the line (and they are very good at it), it comes out to a 50-50 proposition, odds which are the best you’re going to get. That’s why, during the Super Bowl, with its 8,000 different dumb things on which to bet, one of the most popular bets is on the pregame coin toss (another 50-50 opportunity).

19Marana News, August 17, 2022 &SPORTSRECREATION

Finally, the Cats will take on North Da kota State, which is the No. 1 team in the country in Division II. (We’re not supposed to say Division II; the NCAA wants us to use FCS because it’s more confusing.) Anyway, North Dakota State won the na tional championship last year and is ranked No. 1 in the preseason poll this year. The Bison have won nine of the past 11 nation al championships. They’re way better than NAU, which…well, you know. If each game were independent of the oth ers, Arizona would probably be an underdog in 11 of the 12 contests. The Cats get Colora do here in Tucson, but then again, Colorado beat Arizona, 34-0 last season. Even stinky ASU, which is reeling from a coaching staff scandal, has an over/under of 6. In fact, other than Colorado (which matches Arizona’s O/U of three), every team that the Cats will play has an over/un der of at least 5 1/2, with several in the 8 1/2 to 9 range. Gulp! On an unrelated note, the University of Arizona men’s basketball team, currently ranked in the Top 20 in preseason polls, will open its season in the Maui Invitational during Thanksgiving week.

After making it clear that I don’t gamble and making it even more clear that I would never encourage anybody else to do so, I mentioned that I thought that the under was almost a sucker bet. I mean, Arizona was playing so-so BYU at a neutral site, then had home games with San Diego State and, ahem, Northern Arizona. That should be good for at least two wins right there and then the Cats would just have to win one of nine Pac-12 games. If you are blessed with a mind that can erase painful memories, allow me to remind you that Arizona choked away the BYU game in Las Vegas, got smoked by San Diego State in the home opener at Arizona Stadi um, and then lost to NAU. So, that wasn’t a bad dream; it really did happen. Arizona stumbled through a historical ly terrible season, winning only one game (and nobody is quite sure how that hap pened). Here’s how bad they were: In an era of college football where offense is king, the Wildcats managed to score more than 19 points only twice in 12 games. That’s hid eous. (The one game that they did win was by the score of 10-3. More hideous.) All that is in the past. Arizona football has gen erated serious positive buzz since last season mer cifully ended. Somehow, the coaching staff has been upgraded and that upgraded coaching staff miraculously brought in the top recruiting class in the entire Pac-12. They also have a fairly decent young quarterback to transfer from Washington State. Things are looking up. Of course, after last season, that’s the only direction available. The Vegas people have noticed and have raised Arizona’s over/under number all the way up to three. (If anybody’s wondering, in that case, if you bet either over or un der and it lands on three, you don’t win or lose. It just means that you get your money back. It also means that Arizona fans will have suffered through an only slightly less hideous season than last year. Unless one of the wins is over Arizona State, in which case there will be a parade.)

“I think I heard (a snippet) of that song once and now it just pops in my head and won’t go away,” she said. For Danielle, it should have been a won derful summer. The good student, athlete and friend should have been swimming, learning how to drive and contemplating college. Instead, she spent it rehabbing after knee surgery for a torn ACL, doing count less lunges and learning to walk without a limp. And there’s that scar that remains. Her sophomore year had been going well. Her Amphi volleyball team had made it to state and then she found herself starting on a basketball team that would win the region championship. But just a few games into the season, she went up for a three-pointer and a defender jumped at her. She landed on the defender’s foot and suffered a severe Adding to the emo tional turmoil is her younger sister, Kayla — who is a couple inches taller and just as athletic as Danielle — and her status as an incoming freshman at Amphi. All summer, Danielle watched Kayla excel as part of the Amphi varsity squad that was playing in summer leagues at Flowing Wells and Sahuaro. “Yeah, I got to watch my sister and my boy friend play in their games. I was happy for them, but I would also like to be happy for me," Danielle said. She was recently cleared to jog, and she said she can run without and limping or wobbling. She knows she will miss volley ball season, but she is joining the Amphi golf team this season, with her doctor's blessing “I’ve never played golf before, so this should be interesting,” she said with a laugh. Her doctor said she should stick to irons. No grip-it-and-rip-it-off the tee for fear of putting too much torque on her knee.

Danielle and her medical team hope she'll be ready by the start of basketball. (The first day of practice is Halloween.) She survived her cruel summer. Now, she deserves a cool winter.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It's not always possible to decide how you're going to re act to life and follow your own commands. Feelings don't like to be bossed around. Though, with your incredible imagination, you may be able to conjure and coax a feel ing into being. Such emotional exercises are ripe for exploring this week.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). In case you were wondering just how badly you want a thing, today will show you. Seeing some one else have it is a huge hint; getting close to having it is another. But of course the best gauge of all will be the level of sat isfaction you experience when the thing is snug in hand, as it will be for a time this week.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Even when many aspects of your life are going well, you sometimes struggle with negative thoughts. It will help to isolate each one and challenge the truth of it. Many ideas don't originate in our heads. Ideas are everywhere, and our minds are like a net that can't help but catch the flotsam and jetsam drifting by.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). While gos sip can be erosive to a social circle, it's important to understand it for what it is. People bond over this type of information. It gives them something to talk about and is a source of entertainment. Providing other kinds of entertainment and oppor tunities for closeness may eliminate all need of gossip.

22 Explorer and Marana News, August 17, 2022 Horoscope By Holiday Mathis

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). As you play, the lessons you learn in the game become a part of you. The big prize at the end matters only in that it gives you a goal and a reason to keep going when it's hard. Your experiences, relationships, skills and challenges are the real treasure you'll take away regardless of the final score.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You're capa ble of much more than you once thought. You'll be inspired to test the limits. Revolt against routines that don't seem to be adding up to anything. If you let yourself do the same thing you've been doing, you'll soon find yourself in a rut that's hard to break out of.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You'll win over even the most difficult personalities through kindness and consistency or with toughness, logic and strategy. You inocu late yourself against the virus of egoism by being in service to those around you. With your ego in check, you can maintain a firm connection with the energy of the world.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Approval-seeking is the death of charisma. Time with those who need constant validation will get tire some, but you can prevent this emotional dynamic altogether by providing plenty of warmth and acceptance up front. Put people at ease so you can get down to business. There's much to learn and do this week.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There was a time you strived for perfection through addition. More people, embellishments, rules, more color and music, more, more, more. For this week's endeavor, you'll find better results going the opposite di rection, subtracting for clarity, simplicity and brevity. You'll strip the thing down to essentials and build anew.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The old adage goes, "In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock." It can be challenging to discern exactly what you're dealing with. Distance yourself from the scene to get a better per spective. Don't act until you can clearly see the principles in play.
