AHS Sports Skies, Highs in the 70S and Lows in Involved Were Provided by Life Enrichment Organization Through Its Paint Our Town Project YOUR HOMETOWN NEWSPAPER SINCE 1916 Ajo, Pima County, Arizona Wednesday, January 15, 2014 Volume 90 Number 19 ©2014 Supervisors elect Bronson as chair Supervisor Sharon Bronson, whose District 3 includes Ajo, was elected chair of the Pima County Board of Supervisors on January 7. Bronson’s 7400-square-mile district includes all of western Pima Coun- ty and shares more than 130 miles of international border with Mexico. “I am delighted to have the confidence of my colleagues, and look forward to continuing our efforts to create a better life for all of us in the county,” said Bronson. “My interest is, and always has been, to do what I can to provide parity, equity, and a voice for all our community members. My district includes the most far-flung communities in Pima County, and some of the most challenged. “A rural place like Ajo – which I get to visit often – is as deserving of first-class representation as any urban center, and I feel a responsibility to focus attention, where I can, on finding solutions to issues common to us all.” Bronson was first elected to the board in 1996, and has focused her efforts of economic development, job creation, and balanced smart growth strategies. She served as a member and board co-chair of Tuc- son Regional Economic Opportunities, Inc., and is a member of Visit Tucson, formerly known as the Metropolitan Tucson Convention and Visitors Bureau. She is a member of the environment, energy, and land use steering committee of the National Association of Counties. Bronson, instrumental in the development and implementation of the county’s Sonoran Desert Conservation Plan, has also served as president of the County Supervisors Association of Arizona, and president of the What are a pair of gravediggers like Jose Castillo and Jim Reiman, a retired cop like Bob US/Mexico Border County Coalition.

This is the second largest family in the flora area after Asteraceae. A total of 97 taxa in 46 genera of grasses are included in this publication, which includes ones established and reproducing in the modern flora (86 taxa in 43 genera), some occurring at the margins of the flora area or no long known from the area, and ice age fossils. At least 28 taxa are known by fossils recovered from packrat middens, five of which have not been found in the modern flora: little barley ( Hordeum pusillum ), cliff muhly ( Muhlenbergia polycaulis ), Paspalum sp., mutton bluegrass ( Poa fendleriana ), and bulb panic grass ( Zuloagaea bulbosa ). Non-native grasses are represented by 27 species, or 28% of the modern grass flora.
