SIERRA VISTA -- Team Cochise members said Wednesday that they have
concerns about the future of Sierra Vista public schools and the impact
it will have on the next round of military base closures.

The group members also have rising concerns about a potential leukemia
cluster in the area, which could have a negative impact on
decision-makers, said members of the team.

Team Cochise is a group that is trying to find solutions to many issues
to ensure that there are excellent education, health, housing and
employment opportunities for soldiers and their families, as well as
others who live in the region.

The team met on Wednesday to discuss some issues, with the major ones
being education and the alleged leukemia cluster in the area.

"Education is a more significant problem than water," said Ted Fichtl,
the team's coordinator.
