Tipping tree worries residents
The Sierra Vista Herald01/25/2012 - 20:16

A partially uprooted tree has a Cochise County enclave resident too worried to sleep in his home, while a utility provider said the tree poses no immediate threat.

Between 4th and 5th streets south of Tacoma Street in Sierra Vista, a 40-foot tree tilts precariously above the alley separating the backyards of residents, warping a chain link fence under its weight and touching the guide lines of nearby power poles.

Victor Soltero lives directly across the narrow alley from the tree. He said he has been worried about the possibility of it falling over for some time,...

DOUGLAS — Todd Inglehart’s 13th year at the helm of the Cochise College baseball program proved unlucky indeed. Coming off a 41-18 season that saw the Apaches reach the finals of the NJCAA Region I playoffs, the team took a severe step backward in 2011, posting a mark of 27-27 and missing out on the postseason for only the second time in eight years.

The Arizona Folklore Preserve in partnership with the University of Arizona South Presents

America’s Western Sweetheart, Belinda Gail

Saturday, January 21, at 2 p.m., and Sunday, January 22, at 2 p.m.

Belinda Gail was raised on ranches in Nevada’s Carson Valley and in the California Sierra Nevada foothills near Sequoia National Park. Her rich ranching heritage and love of the West run deep in her music and evoke the character of the people, as well as the beauty, majesty, and deep connection to the land that only those who have lived the ranch life can truly capture. Ranching and the “cowboy life” are very much part of the essence of this dynamic Western performer.

Belinda is honored and humbled to be counted...
