Hazmat flow on I-19 monitored

KITTY BOTTEMILLER | GREEN VALLEY NEWSPHYLLIS GRIFFITHS (left) of FEMA’s Community Emergency Response Team, Danny Casey and Craig Koblitz of Green Valley Sheriff Auxiliary Volunteers, count the latest hazardous material-carrying truck on northbound Interstate 19 Wednesday afternoon from the Duval Mine Road bridge in Sahuarita. They were among volunteers from Sahuarita, Quail Creek, Green Valley and else-where collecting a snapshot of hazmat traffic through the area.

By Kitty [email protected]

Clusters of neon-vested vol-unteers with pencils and paper were out on the Duval Mine Road overpass last week helping keep the community safer.

Seventeen people signed up to assist with a two-day hazard-ous materials commodity flow study involving counting cars along Interstate 19. More spe-cifically, semi-tractor/trailer trucks with placards denoting various poisonous, toxic, caus-tic, explosive, flammable and other dangerous chemicals.

A d d i t i o n a l vo l u n t e e r s helped along other major routes, including State Routes

77, 85 and Interstate 10.Pima County emergency offi-

cials want to know what and how many chemicals move through the area, and are using informa-tion collected during the road survey as a good indicator. The

concern: Chemicals let loose dur-ing a malfunction or crash could harm the environment, residents and other travelers

They hope to perform similar surveys periodically, perhaps ev-ery few years, to keep tabs on and note any changes in volume, what’s being hauled and in what type of container so first responders and the general public can plan for re-sponse if a spill does occur, said Steve Hulland Sr., from Elephant Head and survey coordinator for the Sahuarita-Green Valley area.

They already get information from what trains carry from Union Pacific Railroad, he noted.

Changes, questionssurroundgolf in GV

Lawyer details lookat officials’ spending

By Dan [email protected]

The golf industry in Green Valley is turning into a soap opera.

As winter visitors return, a course that seemed on the verge of missing out on the high season appears to be making a surprising comeback, while one that was doing well has just hit the ball into the lake.

Figuring out who owns and manages four courses that have made local headlines for the past three years has just as many twists and turns. And insiders say there are likely more changes coming in the next few weeks.

An email sent on Canoa Ranch letterhead to members Nov. 14 said RDM, which entered into a lease-purchase agree-ment last spring for San Igancio and Canoa Hills golf courses, had returned them to Green Valley Golf Holdings, led by David Williamson.

The email was signed by RDM — Recreational

Development Manage-ment — which is headed by Dale Beddo and Ron-nie Black.

On Friday, Black told the Green Valley News that he is no lon-ger with RDM and that he has been named the new golf pro at San Ig-nacio, which remains unopened. He also said Morgan North, CEO of Borderland Construc-tion, “is the one calling the shots” at the course, and that Williamson is no longer involved.

Wi l l i a m s o n s a i d Thursday via email that he is “not ready” to talk about the courses. North did not return a call.

San Ignacio is owned by GVGH along with Canoa Hills, Canoa Ranch and Torres Blan-cas golf courses. Canoa Hills closed in July 2013, and doesn’t appear to be a priority to reopen anytime soon. RDM said San Ignacio missed two reopening target dates last month when it failed to get the water turned

A lawyer looking into the donation of Pima County funds to private groups said the Board of Supervisors has made some improvements but could face legal action if it doesn’t adopt stricter spending guidelines.

Jared Blanchard, a staff attorney with the Goldwater Institute, a conservative public policy group in Phoenix,

spoke about the spending to more than 30 people Friday in Sahuarita at a meeting of the Quail Creek Republicans.

Blanchard was asked to present the Institute’s perspective on some of the county’s five supervi-sors using unspent por-tions of their $399,000 office budgets to give to private non-profits and causes, instead of re-turning that money to

AGreen Valley traveler has clocked more than 44,000 miles in his converted camper in the last two years and is heading off on

another adventure next week.But Bill Tyndall covered a lot

more ground before he retired. Tyndall, 92, flew 37 years as a Unit-

ed Airlines pilot and 57 missions with the U.S. Army Air Corps’ 490th bombardment squadron in Burma during World War II.

He has 22,000 hours of flight time to his credit but says, “I have a way to go before I hit that number of driving hours on land.”

That’s the equivalent of two and a half years in the sky.

Tyndall retired from the airline in 1982, and he and his wife, Marjory, retired to Arizona. They moved to La Posada in 1995.

No strangers to camping and trav-el, the couple enjoyed trips for years until Marjory said “enough of this.”

“We were in Glacier National Park in early September one year and Marjory turned on the water in the morning and it was frozen, so she called it quits.”

Bill took her to the airport in Great Falls, Mont., so she could catch a flight home.

“I had to drive the camper across

country by myself — and I kind of liked it. After Marjory died in 2012, I decided to continue the tra-dition, but I always think about her and the times that camping was fun for both of us.”

The couple were married 67 years.

One for the roadBILL TYNDALL recently returned to Glacier National Park, a place he says he never tires of seeing.

On Oct. 24, a U.S. citizen who had recently visited the western African nation of Ghana tried to enter the country from Mexico through the Mariposa Port of Entry.

U.S. Customs and Bor-der Protection officers re-sponded by screening the traveller for Ebola and call-ing local emergency medi-cal services “to conduct a physical check,” according to CBP and Nogales Police Department dispatch re-cords.

Describing the incident, a CBP spokesperson wrote in an email that “through an abundance of caution” port officers “exercised screening protocols and coordinated with appropri-ate partner agencies.”

The person, who was not showing any symptoms, was eventually cleared

It is 4 a.m. on a Wednesday at a McDonald’s in south Tuc-son, and Matthew Vargas and Michael Steward are meeting up for their 90-minute carpool to work.

They coach at Tohono O’odham Community College in Sells, about 90 miles from Sahuarita. Vargas was hired as head basketball coach and athletic director in 2011, and was tasked with building an athletic department from the ground up.

In just three years, he has seen big changes at the school, which went from a collection of portables in a parking lot to a series of brick-and-mortar buildings with well over 200 students.

Tohono O’odham Commu-nity College opened its doors in 2000 as an accredited junior college affiliated with the To-hono O’odham Nation. The school’s student body is 88 per-cent American Indian or Alas-kan Native, led by President James Vander Hooven.

The school, 23 miles north of Mexico in western Pima Coun-ty, operates on federal grants and tribal dollars.

Vargas, who lives in Rancho Sahuarita, said he has built a solid relationship with the community and the school.

“I am fortunate to have the president and board that we have at the college, because I think I have their complete trust, and it’s not something that I take lightly,” he said.

The coachVargas’ path to the Tohono

O’odham is as full of twists and turns as his daily commute.

He was born and raised in Tucson and played basketball at South Mountain Commu-

nity College in Phoenix before transferring to Arizona Chris-tian University (then South-western College) to continue his academic and athletic ca-reer.

He played pro ball in Mexico after graduation, then worked for a logistics company in Chicago. He continued volun-teering with youth basketball leagues in the Windy City be-fore he was transferred to Lou-isiana in 2007.

His head coaching career started in the Bayou State, where he took over as the coach at Hammond High School after its coach was seriously injured in a car crash.

Vargas coached in Ham-mond for two years, winning the District 7 5A Coach of the Year award in 2009, before com-ing home to take an assistant coaching job at Pima Commu-nity College under head coach Karl Pieroway. He was there when Pieroway resigned in 2010, but the school went with somebody else in the head coaching job.

Vargas said the school’s de-cision motivates him to prove wrong those who doubted his ability to be a head coach of a college team.

“I took this job because I al-

ways told myself that if I ever had the chance to be a head coach then I’d do it bigger, better and make sure that we structure everything so our students get ahead academi-cally,” he said. “I want our kids to have the best experience, better than anyone else, and be successful as students, and not just as athletes.”

Vargas faced naysayers when he decided to start a To-hono O’odham basketball pro-gram.

“At the first athletic direc-tors meeting I went to with the college, there was an AD from Phoenix that turned to me and asked if I could even form a competitive team,” he said. “What makes me angry is that people like that think tribal means inferior or less than. That’s not it; it means better, and that’s why we do every-thing first class.”

Unflinching, Vargas moved ahead with the program that reaches beyond sports.

“We have two goals here, to win national championships and chase degrees,” he said.

The facility Vargas also wants to see

an improvement to the facili-ties used by the men’s team.

The Jegos (tribal word for the dust storm before a monsoon) practice from 5:30 to 7:30 a.m. weekdays at Baboquivari High School in Topawa.

The state requires any non-high school teams using school gyms do so before or after school.

“We need a new facility,” Vargas said. “Every single day to add on 20 miles round trip between the gym and the col-lege, even our home games are kind of away games because of the miles we have to drive.”

“I’m all for it,” Vander Hooven said. “In fact I sup-port him every step of the way, what he’s trying to do is give student-athletes an opportuni-ty to continue playing. But also creating programs that grade-schoolers can enjoy down the road as well.”

A new facility will cost mil-lions of dollars, and Vargas can’t raise that himself.

“To be perfectly honest, I don’t know if I can do any-thing on my end other than to keep building a program that is very well-respected across the country,” Vargas said. “In our first year, we only won three games, then won 10 in
