Councilwoman Sarah Pacheco wanted to pass a resolution that would have expressed the council’s dismay with the actions of pro-Trump supporters at the Capitol. Now, our feature story.  Councilwoman Sarah Pacheco wanted to pass a resolution at Thursday’s meeting that would have expressed the council’s dismay with the actions of pro-Trump supporters at the Capitol last week. The resolution was not placed on the agenda for Thursday’s regular city council meeting, a disappointed Pacheco said Friday morning. Pacheco later said this is the second time since she’s been on the panel that the City Council does not place a proposed resolution on the agenda that sends a message. She said her reasons for wanting such a resolution placed on the agenda was threefold: To express disagreement for what happened at the Capitol; to show that the city affirms the results of the 2020 presidential election; and to urge the country toward a peaceful transition of power at every level. In other business, the Sierra Vista City Council unanimously approved the following items: An intergovernmental agreement continuing the joint emergency medical services and fire science program between Sierra Vista Fire & Medical Services and Cochise College. A memorandum of understanding with Cochise College for the city to provide fleet maintenance services for a 1997 Pierce 1,000-gallon pumper fire truck that was donated to the college from the city for use in the fire science program.

The heads of high school athletes, coaches and fans are spinning after a whirlwind week and offseason for winter sports. Arizona Interscholastic Association member schools were given permission last week to reinstate winter sports after a previous vote to cancel the season. One of the reasons for the revote was to give schools the opportunity to choose whether or not they will offer sports and give athletes and their parents the choice to play. Finally - we’d like to remember the life of Adrienne Smith. Adrienne was born in 1944 in Germany. She loved animals, especially dogs and over the years she adopted countless rescue dogs. Her most recently adopted chihuahua, named Chico lived 13 years. Her love of animals also included wild birds, as well as stray parakeets. Coco, a lost parakeet, found a home with her for 15 years. She came to Sierra Vista in 1976 and made it her home when she settled in Hereford. Fond of the fresh mountain air she created her own garden paradise, complete with a green house in which she spent her free time growing exotic plants, and vegetables. On many weekends she and her grandson would enjoy spending time together working in that greenhouse. Adrienne was a trusted member in the community and developed strong bonds and friendships, through her hard work and dedication to perfection. She loved life and this town and the people in it, and was always willing to lend a helping hand. Thank you for taking a moment today to remember and celebrate Adrienne’s life.
