The Center for the Arts Celebrates 30 Years And continues to grow from small beginnings Story by Jenn Walker ~ Photography by Kenneth Chan*

efore the Center for the Arts became the dazzling white gem of Broad Street, serving both as the creative pulse of this community and the core of so many events, it was on its way to becoming one of downtown Globe’s forgotten structures, lost beneath layers of dust and dirt.

The neoclassical revival building’s 14-foot ceilings and 20,000 square feet once housed Globe’s courthouse and seat of county government for nearly 70 years. On May 27, 1975, it was included in the National Register of Historic Places.

A year later, the county administration abandoned it. For another eight, it laid vacant, and the building began to quickly deteriorate and collect dust.

That is, until 1984, when a third generation Globe native by the name of Bob Bigando – Globe’s development director at the time – cut a deal with the county to lease the old courthouse to a group of artists who would adopt the building in exchange for restoring it to its original condition. Envisioning an art gallery inside, with a third floor allocated to putting on community plays, Bigando raised $8000 in contributions and grant funding.

In an interview with the Arizona Republic, he said that he saw the restoration as a means to solving a number of problems, including preserving a valuable structure and revitalizing downtown. Of course, it was also a means to celebrate art and culture within Globe.

Not to mention the fact that a group of local artists had been restoring various buildings around town to use as an art gallery, only to get thrown out of each one.

The Evolution Of A Band

Miami Big Band Sound

GIT 'ER DONE AWARD

By Jenn Walker

By Jenn Walker

It’s the first Friday of June, and the sun is beginning to set behind Miami. An eight-piece band plays a lighthearted ‘50s tune in front of Bullion Plaza as a woman dances her heart out in the empty street in front of them. With a bounce and loaded shimmy in every step, she dances solo. A few other bodies jitter by her, but this woman’s gusto is hard to ignore.

She has danced to this band’s music time and time again for years, she says as she finally pulls away from the music and asks for a hand up on to the curb.

After 23 years serving in office, congressman Ed Pastor (D-Ariz), member of the 113th Congress, is cleaning house.

With his last day in office approaching at the end of the year, the representative of the Seventh Congressional District of the state is preparing to pursue another path.

The Miami native certainly left his mark. Not only is he Arizona’s first MexicanAmerican elected into Congress, he has now spent a good 20 years overseeing energy and water development, as well as transportation, housing and urban development, while serving on Congress’ appropriations committee. He also served as a Chief Deputy Whip.

SUMMER 2014

Going Steady With Your Smart Phone Camera

By Kim Stone

e’ve all heard this before: The best camera is the one you have with you.

To some, this means $15,000 of equipment so massive that a backpack is inadequate, requiring what looks like a multi-tiered, chrome-plated baby stroller to push it around. Others never leave home without their tried and true point-and-shoot camera with its compact size and ease of use. The great equalizer has become the smart phone, the ultra thin electronic marvel that doubles as a camera and graces nearly every pants pocket from Wrangler to Versace.

At the Arboretum – a photographer’s Shangrila, by the way – it would be unusual to spot a visitor without a camera. Half are using DSLRs and point-and-shoots, but the other 50% are using their smart phones – alternately snapping photos, talking, and texting as the scenery and their social circle dictates.

I was a confirmed digital SLR user for a decade, but when my shutter malfunctioned (and I had neither the money to repair the camera nor purchase a new one), I reached into my pocket, pulled out my iPhone 5, and decided to make it my full-time camera replacement.

Even with all its fancy camera features, like an 8 megapixel image sensor and F/2.4 lens, my biggest disappointment was that there is no way to attach the phone to a tripod. Even pro photographers with image

Upcoming Events All walks and tours are free with paid admission unless otherwise noted.

July 12 – Lizard Walk July12 – Kids photography (fee) stabilizing lenses use a tripod to get their sharpest image, and every point-and-shoot has a tripod mount, so why doesn’t the iPhone?

There’s no app for that, so over the past year, I have explored a handful of solutions that allow me to capture a satisfyingly sharp image.

The lowest tech way to stabilizing any camera is to use what’s nearby. At the Arboretum, I will often brace my phone on a tree, a boulder, atop someone’s head, or lie down and use my knees or elbows for support. When out in the open, I’ve learned to cross my arms Cossack-style, using my locked, horizontal forearm as a rigid support. This latter technique works for shooting video, too.

But these are just coping mechanisms, and useless for a self-timer, stop-action, slo-mo, or capturing a sharp flower macro.

So I researched and purchased several aftermarket solutions, starting with the Joby Griptight Mount. Despite its name, its springloaded grip on my phone was tentative at best.

When the wind blew down my tripod and the Joby’s cheap plastic broke into three separate pieces, I cried – but not as hard as I would have if my phone had still been in it.

The Olloclip Quick-flip case was my second purchase, setting me back more than twice as much as the Joby. It’s a more elegant solution that combines a form-fitting case that slides into a U-shaped tripod mount. The mount then screws securely to a tripod. After a few months of use, part of the plastic tripod mount broke off, leaving me a barely useable set-up.

My most recent discovery is the Anycase, a solid aluminum tripod mount that fits any size smart phone, with or without a case. It holds my iPhone securely, feels very stable, and its metal

construction gives me confidence that it will outlast anything made of plastic. It’s my favorite so far.

With the phone now firmly attached to a tripod, you still have to tap the screen to take a photo, and this can cause some vibration. To remedy this, the volume control on the stock iPhone ear buds doubles as a shutter release, reducing camera shake to nil.

Even better, I recently purchased the Ipega Bluetooth Remote Control Self-timer that works with both iPhone iOS and Android phones. As long as I am within 30 feet of my phone, the Bluetooth connection wirelessly triggers the camera’s shutter to capture intimate portraits or video of stampedes, active beehives, or squirrels – all from an unthreatening distance.

There are plenty of reasons to keep your DSLR or pointand-shoot camera, but if your smart phone happens to be the one you have with you, keeping it rock steady is the best way to capture an enviably sharp photo – at the Arboretum, or anywhere.

SUMMER 2014 Though the towns of Globe-Miami have only been around 100-plus years, the stories these old mining towns have to offer history are endless.

Arguably one of this area’s most prominent storytellers is Christine Marin, a Globe-Miami native, prolific writer, historian, former archivist, professor emeritus, and recipient of many awards (most recently the 2013 “Golden Bear Leadership Award,” awarded by Phoenix College and Maricopa Community Colleges). Since her studies as a graduate student at ASU in the ‘80s, Marin has shed light on so many Globe-Miami stories that might have otherwise gone untold.

One of those stories includes the unification of Mexican Americans and African Americans to overcome segregation and discrimination in Miami, which Marin describes in her dissertation “Always A Struggle: The History of Mexican Americans in Miami, Arizona.”

“It’s more than the history of a copper town. It’s more than the history of Mexican Americans in a copper town, or sports, or labor, or unions,” she says of her dissertation. “I think it’s also the story of people coming together, struggling together, doing the best that they can to be good citizens, to be good families, to be good parents, to be workers.”

Marin wrote her 217-page dissertation while she was a part-time student pursuing a PhD in history at ASU. She interviewed as many as 300 individuals,

including teachers, in Globe and Miami.

She also used her own family history and community history to tell the story.

“I always knew I was going to write something about Globe-Miami. I just didn’t know what,” she says. “I [wrote] different themes in those chapters that relate to what I learned from my parents

growing up in Miami and what I learned growing up in a mining town.”

Marin’s roots in Globe-Miami extend several generations. Her parents, Lupe Trujilllo Marin and Eulalia Renteria Marin, were both born in Miami in 1921.

They spent portions of their youth there and both attended segregated schools.

Once her father returned home from the war, Marin’s family moved to Globe, where Marin was born and raised. Marin’s father worked as a copper miner for the Inspiration Mine for 42 years; thus, her family was pulled into labor union politics. Her parents’ activities would leave a lasting impression on Marin.

“They made sure they had a voice,” she recalls. “So I learned from them that I had a voice, and that I could express it in a different way.”

Growing up, however, Marin didn’t anticipate that she would become a historian. In fact, that happened by accident.

“I thought I wanted to be an English teacher,” she remembers. “But it was

actually history that changed everything for me.”

In 1961, Marin graduated from Globe High. In her eyes, college was a gateway to opportunity. Thanks to President Johnson’s war on poverty funds in the ‘60s, she, along with her siblings, relocated to Tempe to attend ASU. She explored a psychology major and a sociology major before receiving her bachelor’s degree in English in ‘74.

After Marin got her bachelor’s, she began working full-time at the Hayden Library. She started out as a clerk typist in different departments. Later, she became a bibliographer full-time. All the while, she continued going to school as a parttime student.

“I just knew that I was going to pursue getting that master’s degree,” she says.

“Along the way, I met a history professor who changed my whole direction.”

It was thanks to ASU professor Dr. Servin that Marin became interested in history. She took two of his history classes.

“He encouraged me,” she remembers.

“I liked what I was learning. I was learning Arizona history, and I was reading and learning about the things I was hearing about growing up that related to my dad’s life as a miner, my parents’ lives in Miami, growing up in a mining town [and] what all of that meant.”

his summer we grabbed a tiger by the tail and hung on!

GMT took on history in a big way this summer when we chose to cover the hundred year history of Globe High School and the Tigers. We worked with historians and photographers, combed through old newspaper accounts and spent weeks shooting a series of ads featuring GHS students, alums and ... Vandals.

Our series on what brings Tigers and Vandals together was great fun to photograph and design, but if I had to pick just one that best captures the message we wanted to convey, it was the one we did at Chalos with Roberta and her grandson sporting Tiger/Vandal t-shirts. (see pp #16 ).

It’s about family.

Although I realize our story and timelines only scratch the surface of the GHS legacy and the Tiger/Vandal rivalry in this community, it’s a start. The real show is this September when the Globe Alumni Association and GHS will be hosting the Centennial Celebration. (see pp #24 in the pull-out section) As for our summer edition, the lead story on the Center for the Arts shows that the high school is not the only one celebrating an anniversary this year. The CVCA has been the jewel of the downtown district for as long as I can remember, but it wasn’t always this way. Its evolution from court house to social hub of the community is because of the people who have helped make that happen along the way. (see pp #1) Plus, coming up this fall we will be featuring the 50th anniversary of the United Fund; a unique organization which was established in 1964 by local businessmen to raise funds from locals to support local organizations and services. It’s a success story worth telling.

We have featured several individuals this time including Congressman Ed Pastor (pp #1) and Christine Marin (pp #3). Both people have contributed to the state and this community in countless ways. As Pastor gets ready to retire after 23 years in congress, we were happy to catch up with him at his mother’s home in Miami for an interview. (see pp #1) It is good to know that although he is retiring from congress, he is not stepping out of the arena of politics and public service. We need his skills now, more than ever.

And speaking of public policy and finding solutions to the challenges of rural communities, the Arizona Rural Policy Forum is set to take place at Bullion Plaza Cultural Center and Museum this August bringing together people from all over the state to our community for two days. If you would like to be part of the solution, there is still time to register. (pp #17) It is always a pleasure to showcase our communities to both visitors and locals. The more I cover the people and culture of Globe-Miami, the clearer it is that we have much to be proud of in this community – even while we keep an eye on the future and work on our challenges of today.

Wishing you a great summer. See you at The Game!

SUMMER 2014 Marin, Continued from page 3

Many of her classmates were from out of state, and knew little to nothing about Arizona, union families, or mining towns.

“I wanted to know more about unions and unionism, because I knew I was different from the other kids I was going to school with,” she continues.

From then on, she immersed herself in history. She signed up for more history classes. Next thing she knew, she was on her way to receiving a master’s degree in history at ASU. Working in various positions at the library groomed her to become a historian. She knew how to use research and reference tools – these were invaluable skills, especially because Google and the Internet did not yet exist.

By 1982, Marin had a master’s degree under her belt and became an archivist.

She worked with collections of all kinds, including old photos, manuscripts, brochures, newspaper clippings, magazine articles, and posters.

She also began teaching. She taught classes on womens’ history, the history of Mexico, and the history of Mexican Americans in the West. She integrated archives, manuscripts, and collections into her lessons.

Meanwhile, she continued up the ladder toward a PhD in history, and gained increasing recognition for her work. In 2000, the Chicano/Latino Faculty and Staff Association at ASU began the Dr. Christine Marin Staff Award in her honor.

In 2003, she received an “Outstanding Faculty Award” from ASU’s College of Extended Education, as well as a “Latino Pioneer Educators in Excellence Award” from Arizona’s LULAC (League of United Latin American Citizens).

In 2005, she earned her PhD from ASU. Two years later, she received the “Advocates for Social Justice” Award from the Intergroup Relations Center at ASU. She continued to uncover the stories of Globe-Miami, focusing on events that occurred between the ‘30s through the ‘60s.

In her article “Courting Success and Realizing the American Dream,” Marin published the story of Miami High’s Dream Team, who, under the guidance of their Finnish American coach Ernie Kivisto, snagged the 1951 state basketball championship. The article was first published in The International Journal of the History of Sport in 2009, and again in Emeritus Voices in fall 2012.

That story, which illustrates how a team of underprivileged Mexican American boys overcame discrimination and adversity, is just as important and relevant now as it was back then, Marin says.

In 2009, she also co-authored the article “Histories of Mexican Origin Populations in Arizona,” which was published in a report entitled The State

of Latino Arizona. At that same time, she had been chosen for the “Arizona Latina Trailblazer” award.

In 2009, 2010, and 2011, she published three consecutive volumes of stories (published as both books and DVDs) called Arizona Latina Trailblazers: Stories of Courage, Hope & Determination.

She is now on the Arizona Latina Trailblazers selection committee, and recently wrote about three women from Globe who had been selected and honored by the organization: Angie Tewksbury, former president of Globe public schools; Lillian Carrillo, former businesswoman of Globe; and Lupe Yanez, a volunteer civic worker.

“These are women people don’t really know much about,” she says.

She is now also a member of the Western History Association, president of the Arizona Women’s Heritage Trail, board member of the Raul Castro Institute in Phoenix, selection committee member of the Arizona Women’s Hall of Fame, and serves on the Arizona Humanities Council’s board of directors.

She has written and published numerous other pieces on Mexican American women, biographies, Miami history, Mexican Americans in World War II, and civil rights in the ‘60s.

These days, she is further studying the stories of African American women in Globe and Miami. She also continues to study sports in Globe and Miami, like basketball, as well as unions. One way she continues to share her research with the community informally is by posting short historical anecdotes on Facebook, like on the “Growing Up in Globe” Facebook page, which has received a tremendously positive response.

Globe-Miami remains a favorite setting for research and storytelling, Marin says, because so many of the issues that were prominent back then are still present today–namely discrimination and racism.

“We’re still talking about the same issues we’ve always been talking about: immigration reform, poverty, social issues.

Those kinds of things are right in our faces all the time,” she explains. “And I still have to write about these issues because that’s my responsibility as a historian, to write this, to study it, and to interpret it.”

SUMMER 2014

Ask me if I’m an outdoors woman and I’d have to say no.

I’m a publisher/writer by trade and passion and as a result of that I now spend countless hours in front of a computer and writing at my desk at home. I’m one of those people who have to be admonished to step away from the computer and smell the daisies.

But underneath that exterior is a woman who grew up riding horses and was always outdoors. I considered hiking through the Alaskan wilderness or doing a rim-to-rim at the Grand Canyon with Our camp portrait on the first day.

JUST TRY IT Discovering your outdoor mojo at camp B.O.W. Story and photos by Linda Gross

my girlfriends. The fact that I haven’t done any of those things for a long time went unnoticed, until recently when I got a chance to attend a three day camp in

Prescott this Spring put on by the Arizona WIldlife Federation called, “Becoming An Outdoor Woman.” I decided it was time to step away from my computer and see if I could get that outdoor mojo.... back!

The B.O.W. program designed by a woman, for women, was first launched in 1991 by Christine Thomas, an Associate Dean and Professor of Resource Management who did a study to find out why more women didn’t participate in outdoor activities like hunting and fishing.

She found that women were more apt to participate if they could learn in a noncompetitive atmosphere taught by other women. Thomas then partnered with Minnesota’s Division of Wildlife to offer the first “Becoming an Outdoor Woman” workshop and today there are B.O.W. events in almost every state in the U.S. At the weekend I attended in April, over sixty women from all over the state descended on the Friendly Pines Resort in Prescott. We were invited to check our real lives at the registration desk and become

outdoor women for three days. I was a bit nervous at first thinking that being an outdoor woman meant rugged individuals who liked roughing it. I was relieved to see the variety of fellow campers as they unpacked their cars; grandmothers, soccer moms, artsy-types and me. At the registration table we were given a name tag, a B.O.W. shirt and a cabin assignment.

It felt like girl scout camp all over again, but this time we were all big girls with overly-busy lives we were putting on hold for these three days.

The dining hall, built for campers of all ages, was one of my favorite places.

Zip-lining is the easy part. It is the 24 ft. climb to the tree perch which is the challenge.

Camp, Continued from page 6

My team of dancers for the talent show on Saturday did a routine to, 'My Boyfriends' Back." OK, so with less than an hour to coordinate moves for six dancers, our performance may not have been stellar, but the practice session was priceless. We'll be baaack next year: Go BOW-ettes!

The next B.O.W event is September 5-7 at the Friendly Pines Camp in Prescott

The Dutch oven cooking class n included chicken pop pie, hot cinnamon buns and spiked nt coffee with a hint of caffeine and cinnamon for starters.

Cost is $250 for three days and includes your lodging, food and workshops. Choose from classes on hunting, outdoor knowledge, paddling sports, camping, climbing, firearms, fishing, survival and self defense and more. You must be 18yrs or older to attend. Scholarships are available and you can learn more about the program and register by visiting www.azwildlife.org/BOW .

Once you get hooked, you’ll want to know more about Kathy Greene and the Beyond B.O.W trips she sets up throughout the state. The upcoming Beyond B.O.W. trip in October is a hiking/kayaking adventure through the Black Canyon on October 2-4th. These are mini adventures based on extending your skills and friendships made at camp. For more information see: www.arizonaoutdoorwomen.com.

Our first stop was at the large outdoor amphitheater where we learned the first of several campy songs which oddly was both embarrassing and bonding. Lastly, we were lined out on need-to-know items like what was the earliest we could walk down to the dining hall and get coffee in the morning. As I said, it is a Big Girl scout camp.

The variety and number of classes offered at one of these weekends is astonishing considering the logistics of putting together the instructors, equipment and training for each one from zip lining, to archery, kayaking, tracking and survival skills, self defense and dutch oven cooking to name only a few of the classes. I signed up for tracking, self defense and camping, not just because I thought these might be useful skills I should know about, but because I no longer felt athletic enough to take on rappelling and zip-lining.

But as it turns out, that is exactly the point of the program.

The staff at B.O.W. is excellent at helping everyone to “just try it!” In fact, it reminds me of one of my favorite scenes in the movie “Spanglish” with Adam Sandler. In it, Sandler’s daughter, a slightly overweight, charming 9 year old has been given a too-small designer jacket by her clueless mother. Paz Vega, the nanny, with a sure touch of just what’s needed, takes the jacket and adjusts the buttons. In the morning she implores the girl to “just try it on!” knowing it will fit just right this time around.

The staff at B.O.W. is our nanny with the sure touch.

“Just try it!” they say...and then they adjust the training and the experience to fit the woman. Next year I’m definitely down for zip-lining, rappelling!

SUMMER 2014

If you see Lori, the Czech German Shepherd, in public, you might look twice.

You might spot her in the supermarket, sitting patiently in an aisle with the end of her leash hanging loosely over the side of a shopping cart or on the floor next to her.

Ken Matthews, her owner, is always just a few feet away. He is 100 percent comfortable leaving Lori while he steps away to grab ice cream from a freezer. He knows that when he returns to his cart, Lori will still be sitting exactly where he left her.

Lori may be the most well-behaved dog in town, thanks to Matthews. At the same time, Matthews is perhaps one of the most cool and collected individuals you’ll find around here. It is no surprise, then, that he was a teacher for 34 years, and simultaneously worked with dogs throughout his entire career.

“As long as I was a teacher, I had dogs and was training them,” he says.

The Dog Whisperer Ken Matthews shares his dog training secrets Story and photos by Jenn Walker

It is likely this cool demeanor that has allowed him to train dogs like Lori with such success. He showed dogs in AKC obedience competitions. While he was an obedience instructor in Duluth, MN (his hometown), he saw 30 new dogs every eight weeks. Since 2010, when he and his wife began spending half of each year in Globe, he has voluntarily evaluated dogs for the Humane Society. Most recently, he took a scent protection course at the University of Illinois last summer.

The best way to train a dog, he says, is to use the same technique trainers use to train dolphins at Sea World. It’s a technique called marker-training, and he swears by it.

The earliest beginnings of marker training first surfaced from animal behavior experiments in the 1940s. It really exploded, however, in the 1990s, thanks to the book Don’t Shoot the Dog!, written by former dolphin trainer Karen Pryor.

Marker training is a method of training animals using positive reinforcement instead of punishment. For dogs, the positive reinforcement usually comes in the form of dog treats, and sometimes dog toys.

Matthews has been interested in dogs since he can remember.

“I read about dogs every day of my life,” he says emphatically.

But it was when he saw a police demo with an unleashed German Shepherd that he really became interested in working with dogs. Soon after, he learned about marker training.

Now, when Matthews trains a dog, he never lays a hand on it.

“They’re not afraid of you because you’re not touching them,” he explains.

“You can’t just be heavy handed, like you can’t muscle a killer whale.”

Rough handling is a common mistake made by pet owners. It’s what Matthews refers to as the old school method. For example, many pet owners still think the best way to potty train a dog is by rubbing its nose into its own mess on the floor.

This, Matthews says, is completely ineffective. For one, the dog usually has already forgotten it made a mess by the time the owner finds it. Second of all, whatever actions from an animal you pay attention to, you will get more of, he explains.

That is why Matthews will overlook a dog’s mistakes, only acknowledging its positive behavior with a treat or dog toy.

That’s not to say that he doesn’t establish authority with the dog.

“In the world of dogs, you either lead or follow,” he says. “You got to show them you’re worth following.”

That’s also why alpha dogs are not the best to train.

“Most people think they want an alpha dog,” he adds. “You don’t. They will challenge you for anything.”

Perhaps the best way to understand Matthews’ technique is by simply watching him work with Lori outside of Fry’s during lunch hour. At any given moment, Matthews can, and does, let go of Lori’s leash, and leave her to her own devices in front of the store’s ceramics display as clusters of shoppers walk past.

Dog Whisperer, Continued on page 9

SUMMER 2014

Dog Whisperer, Continued from page 8

Again, even when Matthews is approached by a person just feet away, she continues to lay in the exact same spot, her lips pulled back into a panting grin.

After several moments, Matthews walks back to her, looks directly into her eyes, and says “ready?”

Lori’s ears twitch at the sound of his words. She sits up abruptly, her eyes focused on Matthews. He hands her a treat, and then says “free,” which means Lori can stand up and greet the nearby person with a few sniffs and a wagging tail.

It is this constant communication using eye contact, words, and treats in exchange for desirable behavior that makes Lori’s and Matthews’ interactions so fluid.

Whenever he works with a new dog, eye contact is the first thing Matthews establishes with a new dog.

“The first time I catch the dog making eye contact, I give it a treat,” he says. “Pretty soon, the dog won’t take its eyes off of you.”

Then he can hang a treat right above the dog’s nose, until its butt lands on the ground. As the dog lowers its body, Matthews will say “there.” This word becomes critical during training. It translates to “you’re doing it right, and a treat is on the way.” Once the dog sits completely, it is rewarded both with the treat and a simple praise word “good.”

From then on, Matthews will say “there”

whenever a dog starts to do something right, and “good” when the dog completes the action. He then immediately gives it a treat. This is considered “marking” positive behavior.

It’s not all that different from working with children, he explains, because humans and dogs respond to the same positive reinforcement.

Contrary to popular belief, Matthews can train dogs at any age, not just puppies.

The key is consistency. For this reason, Matthews will not train a dog without its owner present. In order for training to stick, a dog should have the same interactions it has with its owner as it does with Matthews. In fact, the hardest part about dog training are the owners, he professes.

“If you train with me, I want you to say you are going to learn something,” he says.

Otherwise, the first training session may go well, but if a dog’s owner stops enforcing positive behavior once a session is over, then the training is useless.

Whatever positive habits the dog just learned during training are soon forgotten, and should an owner try to revisit training days or weeks later, the dog no longer understands.

“That will drive the dog nuts,” Matthews says. “How you live with a dog everyday is what gives you a trained dog.”

If you want a well-trained dog, then you, too, have to be trained as an owner.

INSIDE THE KITCHEN

Olga Rogers preserves the old ways of Slavic cooking

To make rostule, Rogers mixes flour with an egg and a little sugar.

By Jenn Walker

verything Olga Rogers knows about traditional Slavic cooking, she learned from her grandmother as a child on a farm in what was formerly Yugoslavia. There, in a small, rural village called Boca Kotor, there was no shortage of livestock–they had ducks, cows, sheep, chickens, and goats abundant. Growing up alongside her grandmother, Rogers cooked everything fresh, from scratch. She remembers making noodles using a crochet noodle.

“There was nothing to buy in the stores. We didn’t have anything,” she recalls. “Everything was homemade.”

More than 50 years later, little has changed for Rogers when it comes to cooking–except she now calls Globe, not Boca Kotor, home.

She never longs for food from back home, though, because she recreates it here.

Rogers’ cooking is perhaps the most sought-after Slavic food in Globe-Miami. She makes stews and soups, and homemade breads and cheeses. She is crazy about making pastries and desserts. She makes things like priganitze, a Serbian pastry that she compares to a fried doughnut with raisins in it, or torta, a seven-layer pudding dessert.

“I make the best pork roast,” she adds with pride.

She’ll infuse it with rosemary and garlic, and serve it with thinly sliced fried cabbage, onions, and garlic.

Her dishes are often livestock dependent. They call for cheese, polish sausage, lamb, fish, and poultry. What she can’t get in Globe, she gets at Haji Baba in Tempe.

This includes things like seasonings, dried figs, olives, and plenty of olive oil. And, from time to time, her family ships her ingredients from back home.

Regardless, whatever she makes, she makes it just like she did with her grandmother back in Boca Kotor.

“I cook the old-fashioned way,” she says simply.

On the morning GMT pays a visit to her kitchen, Rogers promises Serbian macaroni and rostule (in English she calls them angel wings).

“Nobody makes it anymore except me,” she says.

In addition to cabbage rolls, the angel wings, as well as her macaroni, are some of her most popular dishes.

When we enter her kitchen, she has already been cooking chicken drumsticks on the stove over low heat for two hours. Inside a large pot, the drumsticks float in

a soupy mixture of olive oil, onions, celery, garlic, and tomato sauce. Later, this will get mixed into the macaroni.

The scent is robust and smells of spices.

Just an arm’s reach away from the stove, she has an egg and a metal mixing bowl waiting on the kitchen table.

These are for the angel wings, she informs us.

As we take a seat, she cracks the egg into the metal bowl. Then, wearing a mischievous grin, she pours in a secret ingredient. Supposedly it adds to the crispiness.

“Don’t write it down, whatever you do,” she says in a low voice.

Next, she adds sugar and flour, little by little, to the bowl. The mixture soon turns into a dough. She pulls it out of the bowl and plops it onto the table. As she flattens it out with a rolling pin repeatedly in a steady rhythm, she tells the story of how she wound up in the states.

In the 1940s, Rogers’ father left the family for the war overseas. He joined the Merchant Marines. He decided to jump ship when he got to New York, and next thing he knew, the government was after him. He got lucky in San Diego, however, when he found a Yugoslavian-American bride from Claypool. They got married, and he was no longer on the run. Together, they traveled to Miami, and started a new life.

Meanwhile, Rogers was living a simple, happy existence in Boca Kotor. Her grandmother raised her with her two siblings there.

“It was difficult growing up, but it was fun. I enjoyed it. I didn’t know any better,” she remembers. “I didn’t have a radio, I had never seen the radio or TV until I came to the United States. No telephone, no nothing.”

But President Josip Tito’s rule over Yugoslavia was going strong, and when Rogers was 17, her grandmother decided to send her to the U.S. This way, she might not be pulled into the world of communism at age 18.

“My grandmother wanted me to get out of this culture,” Rogers remembers. “I didn’t know one word of English. I had never left my grandmother or my sisters.”

When Rogers arrived to New York, she came holding a handwritten note. It said, “My name is Olga Pima, I do not speak any English. The only language I know is Yugoslavian.”

That was in 1958.

Rogers made it to Globe, where she was reunited with her father. Shortly thereafter, she was hired as a launderer at Copper Hills, and later worked in housekeeping. She worked there for ten years.

Sometime later, she met her future husband Tommy, and they fell in love. They had two children, and she raised her kids and babysat. Then, in 1988, she picked up work at the school cafeterias, making lunches for students at Globe High School and now High Desert Middle School.

She’s been doing this now for 25 years. (Unfortunately for the students, she doesn’t make them Slavic food.)

It’s been more than 50 years since Rogers came to the U.S., but her grandmother’s culinary ways remain in her memory intact. Whatever Rogers does in the kitchen is intuitive. Don’t ask her for recipes. Most every time she cooks something, she cooks it based on memory.

“It’s all in my head,” she says.

Rostule means angel wings in English.

SUMMER 2014 Olga Rogers, Continued from page 12

Don’t ask what measurements she uses, either, or how long to keep something in the oven. She doesn’t know.

“I do not measure anything, girls,” she insists in a loud voice. “We didn’t have measuring cups. We didn’t have a clock to say, it’s like an hour and half to make the thing. We would go see where the sun is.”

Whatever she makes is almost always cooked in a pot on the stove or in the oven.

On top of all this, she usually has multiple dishes cooking at once. It might seem like a miracle that everything turns out perfectly, but, of course, she’s had years of practice.

The next step, she says, will be to cook and drain the macaroni, and combine it with the chicken. Then she’ll top it with butter and parmesan cheese.

After she fries the angel wings, she tosses them into a bowl, sets them on the table, and sprinkles them with sugar.

“You guys have to try them!” she exclaims. “And you can’t just have one.

You have to have more than one.”

The rostule are crunchy yet very delicate, and not too sweet. On Christmas Eve or Christmas Day, supposedly there are bowls of them dispersed throughout Rogers’ house.

It is around Christmas time that she also makes her infamous cabbage rolls, stuffed with Polish sausage. Not

“I start 10 different things,” she laughs, throwing up her hands. “Then I finish it all.”

After flipping and flattening the rostule dough time and time again, she picks up a pastry press and cuts it into strips. Then she slices a sliver down the middle of each strip, and tucks one end through the sliver. Now they are in the shape of angel wings.

“They’re really not that hard to do,” she says nonchalantly, carefully cutting and folding each dough strip between her fingers. “It’s just a little time consuming.”

She lays each pair of angel wings out on a paper towel. Now they are ready to fry.

Each step, she completes with patience. Her kitchen is cozy and pristine.

It feels like a grandmother’s kitchen.

She moves around it calmly, not like a panicked chef in a hurry. Throughout two hours of cooking almost nonstop, her honest jokes has the kitchen erupting with laughter.

It’s not long before her chicken concoction is ready for sampling.

She pauses, grabs a fork and and asks sweetly, “Why don’t you try this?”

The chicken is savory and tender, falling apart with each chew.

“It is delicious, huh?” she asks with a warm smile. “Have another bite.”

finds excuses to cook Slavic food and give it out to all of her neighbors and friends.

She loves a good party, as long as it’s not a potluck.

“When I prepare, nobody brings anything,” she says firmly.

And she prefers it this way.

Even if you go to the same meetings as her, you reap the rewards. Take, for instance, the Serbian cemetery meetings.

“They are always at my house,” she says slyly. “You know why? They know they’re going to get rostule... When we have our meeting, they don’t have very much dinner before.”

And this is how Rogers’ cooking has become so well-known in the community.

Even her husband cannot resist.

surprisingly, she pickles her own cabbage, too. She’ll combine a whole head of cabbage with things like green tomatoes, green chiles, and spices, and then let it pickle for six to seven weeks outside.

“After you do that, you get the best cabbage rolls,” she says with conviction.

“Nobody makes those anymore.”

On Christmas Day, she has tables covered with Slavic foods, all prepared by her.

Truly, it must be a blessing to be Rogers’ neighbor. On Christmas, she may have more than 30 people over for a sitdown dinner. Holidays or not, she often

“When I got back from Vietnam, I weighed 117 pounds,” Tommy chimes in. “We got married on the 24th, and I averaged 5 and a half pounds a month for six months.”

The challenge in upcoming years, Rogers says, will be to find others in her family to carry on the Slavic way of cooking once she is gone. It’s not like she has this stuff written down.

Until then, though, she will simply carry on.

“Sure, like anybody else, I get tired,” she says with a smile. “But I love to cook, period.”

Band Program Continues To Grow At High Desert Middle School Story and photos by Jenn Walker

In the band room at High Desert Middle School, tennis shoes tap in sync on the floor to Queen’s “Another One Bites the Dust.” Flutes, clarinets, saxophones, and trumpets blare. The music reaches a crescendo, and then suddenly comes to a halt.

The tempo was a bit slow, says band director Tara Brewer to the 24 students seated in front of her. These students make up High Desert Middle School’s symphonic band. She hums the tune for them and waves her baton to show

them how the song should sound. They pick up where they left off. The second time is a charm.

These students, all 7th and 8th graders, have been taking band with Brewer since she first began teaching at High Desert in 2012. She had 33 students that year, from grades 6th through 8th. Because the school had just restarted its band program, all of them were beginners.

“When we first started, it was just a bunch of noise,” professes 8th grade

Taylor Wilson, Shailene Edwards and Haylee Goeders

trumpet player Victoria Mata. “Now that we’re in 8th grade, our music is all together.”

According to Brewer, the transformation has been huge.

“I can’t even begin to explain it,” she says. “These guys [learned] from barely starting an instrument, I mean, barely learning the notes.”

In 2012, High Desert Middle School was looking for a band director. Hailing from Texas, Brewer happened to show up in Globe at the right time. She filled the position at the beginning of 2012.

Since then, the school’s band program has continued to grow. Last year, Brewer had 41 students. This year she had 64, and next year she projects that she will have close to 100.

Mata, like other students in the symphonic band, has been taking band with Brewer since 6th grade. Mata’s class will be the first that Brewer has watched grow from 6th grade up to graduation.

For many students, including Mata, Brewer’s classes were their first exposure to music.

“I thought it would be fun to read notes and know what musicians are playing,” Mata remembers.

“What is difficult for many students

now is they have to understand that you learn any instrument the same exact way as the people learned them in the 1600s, 1700s, and 1800s,” Brewer says.

“We’re so used to–you want something to eat, you put it in the microwave for three minutes. Everything is so fast, so rapid. But to learn an instrument, that process has not changed, it takes time.”

Students at High Desert can join beginning band in 6th grade, and move up to the symphonic band in 7th and 8th grade.

Brewer chooses songs that cater to each level, and the students will learn the songs line by line in class throughout the year. That includes songs like “25 or 6 to 4” by Chicago, or “Crazy Train” by Ozzy Osbourne. She uses songs by Queen for the difficult rhythms, or songs like “The Forge of Vulcan,” where the band drummers bang on trash cans to imitate the sound of blacksmiths pounding metal, to keep Band, Continued on page 15

The Best Care Possible BOOK REVIEW

things interesting. Last year, students learned a Swahili Christmas song.

“It’s really cool for them to do that kind of fun stuff, because you’ll never hear it on the radio,” Brewer says.

Getting music like this for the band program requires immense support from principal Steve Estatico and vice principal Lori Rodriguez, she points out.

“All of this music that you see here, they found the money to get it to these kids, because naturally you can’t have a program without music that will help these kids grow,” she says, pointing to a stack of books in her office.

It was her own experiences playing and growing in school bands, in fact, that drove her to become a band director. Her hope has been to give her students the same kind of band experience she had.

“My high school band experience was incredible,” she remembers.

Brewer came up in Plain View, Texas, where the high school marching band has been dubbed the “Power House of the Plains.” She started out on the clarinet as a teenager. By the time she was in high school, she was playing baritone sax for Plain View High, which is more than 300 strong. Three years in a row, she was an all-state band member.

By 2006, she graduated from West Texas A&M University cum laude in music education. She began teaching as an assistant band director in fall of that

same year in Hereford, Texas, where she remained until she moved to Globe.

“It’s really good for these kids to stick with something and persevere,” she says. “Just the fact that they have the drive to make themselves better at their instruments is so beneficial for the rest of their lives... It builds that self-confidence, it builds that sense of ‘I can do anything if I just sit down and work at it.’”

And they do.

Eighth grader Gabriel Angulo began playing in the High Desert band just to try it. Like Mata, he has been taking band with Brewer since 6th grade.

“I thought it would be cool,” he remembers.

Now, as a member of the symphonic band, his favorite part of being in band is being on the stage.

“It’s hard at first, but once you get the hang of it, you start building up your skills,” he says.

Next he is considering playing trumpet in high school.

With her 8th graders moving on to high school, Brewer has her sights set on her next goal–to get as many kids into band as she can.

Just as this was going to press, GMT found out that Brewer’s husband had recently taken a job in Texas and she would be leaving HDMS. Principal Steven Estacio says she will be greatly missed at the middle school where they are currently in the process of looking for a band director who can carry on the program which Brewer so ably led.

When you or someone dear is lying ill in a hospital bed not knowing what tomorrow will bring “life is more than a set of medical problems to be treated.

The fundamental nature of illness is not medical; it is personal” writes Ira Byock, MD in his captivating and thought provoking book, “The Best Care Possible”.

Recently given to me by a friend, the description on the cover said something about “transforming care through the end of life” and that the author had also written a book called “Dying Well”. It is true, that I will probably reach the end of my life eventually, but what’s the rush?

And yes, I do have parents and they are not young. But they are doing just fine, thank you very much. I’d rather deal with that when the time comes, I was thinking. Wouldn’t you?

Well, it turns out that the end of life and dying are important, like having babies, getting married and choosing a career. And they do have everything to do with me and everyone, actually.

Not only is the end of life and dying important, they are worth thinking about before you get there.

The story of Gerry Thorsen is only one of many. As an active and generally healthy man, Gerry went to see his family doctor about a stomach ache and was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.

Gerry was “a glass half full kind of guy”, his focus was on living, not dying. Then this cancer situation seemed to drop out of the sky. He and his wife Elaine weren’t sure why he’d been given an appointment for palliative care, which they had to look up on the internet to find out what the heck palliative care even was. “Something to do with hospice. But I am not ready for that” Gerry told Dr. Byock.

Gerry and Elaine Thorsen were beginning a journey guided by caring professionals that would bond them even more deeply to each other, to family and friends and would lead them to understand that dying well is an integral part of living well.

Every patient has a story and every story has the depth of history, relationships, struggle and longing. If there was ever a time when those things mattered, it is when you know that your time may be short. The author is the Director of Palliative Medicine at the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, New Hampshire. He cares for the critically ill, you could say he specializes in “Dying Well”. Taking the end of life care out of the closet, Dr. Ira Byock MD is not afraid to open his

heart to love and loss and whatever lies between the two to make this difficult time of life as fulfilling as possible.

As with giving birth, dying is not easy and there is no right way or “one size fits all”. Every situation is different, every individual values different things and every family has different dynamics. “The Best Care Possible” is about listening to patients and their loved ones, about discovering what is most important and about doing what is needed for that most important thing to be achieved.

Mikey Zimble was not ready to die but he was aware that his time was near.

Like Gerry, he too was dying of cancer.

His pain was so extreme he was often unable to speak, he was exhausted and weak. But after only eight days as an inpatient at the hospice clinic, the professional team was able to lessen his symptoms through medication and soon after that, Mikey was able to leave the hospice facility to be treated as an outpatient. Comfortable and in the familiar surroundings of home, he began walking, even playing golf, his appetite returned, he was able to sleep.

Three months after thinking his life was over, he told Dr. Byock that he had had the best summer of his life. He died seven months later peacefully, at home and with his family beside his bed.

Mikey’s wife credits the Palliative care he received as improving his quality of life and giving him more time. His wife remembers those last months as a wonderful gift. “Human beings belong to one another before we are born and long after we die. In a morally healthy society, people are born into the welcoming arms of the human community and die from the reluctant arms of the community” the author points out.

A virtuous goal for hospices care to aspire to, “Dying Well” is both an adverb and an adjective. It can be perceived as a description of the dying process, as in “I am dying well” and also as a description of the person, as in “ I am well in my dying”. Facing the difficult process with eyes open so you can say goodbye, complete unfinished business and, if you very sadly do die, so you can rest in peace.

As Dr. Byock writes, “It is possible to feel well within oneself and right with the world even as one dies. Therein lies hope for all of us.”

Old Tales of Law and Order in Globe-Miami

By Jenn Walker

Drunken dog owner tries to uppercut sheriff, fails After his fourth drink, G.R. Hutchinson decided it was a good idea to start a fight between his dog and another dog on Broad Street one afternoon. When Gila County Sheriff Shanley tried to split up the two dogs, Hutchinson went for an uppercut on the sheriff without success.

"He contested every foot of the way to the bastile, but weakened very materially when behind the grating," wrote the Silver Belt. "As it was his first offense here, Judge Thomas let him off with a light fine, but it added a whole lot to the price of four drinks."

The original version of this story appeared in the Arizona Silver Belt on August 3, 1905.

Phoenix Tourists Locked Up Four Phoenicians stop in Globe on their way to the White Mountains for a hunting trip. One of the tourists, J.A.C. Martinez, leaves the group to invite Globe’s Deputy Sheriff Duncan in on their fun.

Next thing Martinez knows, Duncan arrests him, and he is taken to court, where he is emptied of all his loose change and placed before the judge for trial. Soon after, his three companions are hauled in, too. Their charge?

“Coming to the city of Globe with brags about a ‘little village called Phoenix.’”

After all four men were drilled by the judge and forced to hand over any cash in their pockets, the court gave them a certificate granting them “free entry to the jail any time during the next thirty days.”

“About seven hours and thirty-six minutes after it happened, Martinez began to see the joke and laughed heartily.”

The original version of this story appeared in the Arizona Republic on Aug. 28, 1908.

GLOBE MIAMI FARMERS' MARKET IS UP AND RUNNING

By Jenn Walker

The Globe-Miami Farmers’ Market season is up and running. From fruits and veggies to soaps and produce, there is something for everyone. Make sure you don’t miss out on what these vendors are selling this year!

Annie’s Edibles You wouldn’t believe all the goodies Annie’s Edibles has – cherry pie, pear pie, cinnamon sticks and rolls, pumpkin bread, apple bread, carrot bread, blackberry jam, and brownies, just to name a few!

The Rustic Bar

The Globe-Miami Farmers' Market is held every Saturday from 8 to 11 a.m. in front of Globe City Hall at 150 N. Pine Street from June to October.

You can find bar and liquid handmade soaps at the Rustic Bar booth. Kristal Freeman has been making soap for the last four years. Three years ago, she began selling it.

“Making soap is a lot of fun,” she says. “It’s become an obsession.”

Though Freeman is based in Sacramento, Calif., her mother Yvonne sells her soaps at the market in Globe.

Freeman makes her soaps in batches using an oldfashioned lye process. She heats a three-oil combination of castor, olive, and coconut oils in a crock pot. After letting it cool, she will add things like lavender from a friend, herbs, or goat’s milk.

Right now, Freeman’s best seller is the gardenia bar.

Ancient pueblo, which includes tonka beans and myrrh, is another favorite. It has a heavy, hearty, earthy scent, she says.

She often comes up with her own scent combinations, too, like her cedar, sage, and lavender blend. She recently added creosote, (greasewood) to her Arizona Rain formula.

Nida Rotallas with her daughter Vise Palmer. Palmer assists Nida with selling produce at her booth at the Globe-Miami Farmers' Market.

Nida’s Garden When Nida Rotallas moved to Globe from the Philippines, she continued to do what she had been doing for years back home – gardening.

“She owned a big farm in the Philippines,” says her daughter Vice Palmer. “So when she came to the U.S., it was something she wanted to do. She has all kinds of fun.”

When you go to the farmers’ market, surely you will spot Rotallas and Palmer at their booth selling Nida’s produce, both wearing big smiles.

“She does all of it,” Palmer says. “I’m just the helper.”

Nida grows all kinds of produce on a half-acre in Globe.

This season, she planted things like long beans, okra, eggplant, bell peppers, zucchini, and tomatoes. Palmer hopes they will have grapes to sell, too, by the middle of the season.

Big Band, Continued from page 1

The musicians are situated just across from where the Plaza Ballroom, an old social hub of Miami, once stood. They play classics like “Hey Baby, Que Paso” and “Blue Moon,” taking occasional requests from their audience seated in lawn chairs lining the opposite side of the street. In fact, they can play just about any pop standard from the ‘30s on up, as well as boleros and cumbias, by memory.

With trumpets, trombones, and saxophones in hand, Miami Big Band Sound has entertained at First Friday events like this - as well as reunions, weddings, benefits, birthdays and anniversaries anywhere from here to Kearny and Phoenix - for the last 24 years.

Whether they are playing Latin, country, or jazz numbers, the band has that unmistakably smooth, seamless, cohesive sound of musicians who have been playing for decades.

And they have, which is why money is no longer a motivation.

“We get some paying gigs, which isn’t bad every now and then,” says trumpet player George Sanchez.

Band members have come and gone. Yet, many of these musicians have been playing their songs in these towns long before they were ever a part of Miami Big Band Sound.

To understand Miami Big Band Sound, you have to understand the band’s roots.

In the beginning, Miami Big Band Sound was called Sipie and the Big Band Sound. That’s because Sipie Martinez, a professional tenor saxophonist originally from Miami, was responsible for starting the band around 1990.

But Sipie and the Big Band Sound was, in fact, a reincarnation of an even older band that once filled the old Plaza Ballroom on Saturday nights back in the ‘50s. That band included Joe (George's brother) on drums. That band included keyboardist Joe (George’s brother), trombonist and vocalist Cruz Mendoza, and Sipie (all of whom later formed Big Band Sound).

At the time, the mambo and chacha were all the rage, and Globe-Miami, Superior, and Morenci-Clifton were hotbeds for talented musicians.

“In a lot of small mining towns, after the war, folks went to dances.” Joe says.

“That’s all there was to do in those days.”

Back then, the Plaza Ballroom was the place to go dancing in Globe-Miami.

Everyone dressed up. The George Sanchez Orchestra would show up in all white and play for a packed house. And every other Saturday, there was a fight.

It was also a time when segregation still divided the community. Originally, the Plaza Ballroom had two dance nights - Saturdays for the Anglo crowd, and Sundays for the Hispanic crowd. The band played on Sundays; but before long, they were attracting not only Hispanics, but white folks as well.

First Friday Lecture series wrapped up the season with a concert on the steps listening to the Sounds of Miami

It was only a matter of time before the band was asked to play on Saturdays for both crowds. Without realizing it, the band had integrated the two dances.

“We happened to come around at the right time and the right place,” George says. “That shows what music can do.”

George Sanchez and the Sounds of Miami playing at Bullion Plaza in 2008.

Back then, musicianship was really encouraged among young people.

“The schools had great music programs,” Joe recalls. “A lot of us were not athletically inclined, so we turned to music instead.”

Joe and George got music lessons from a fellow by the name of Genaro Bocardo in the back of their father’s barbershop in Miami.

“When dad wasn’t cutting hair,

musicians would come in and play,” Joe remembers. “The music influence was everywhere.”

Joe and George learned music from Bocardo with a ruler, and a clunk on the head for getting notes wrong.

Mendoza, meanwhile, learned music on his uncle’s trombone, which had been put away during the war. When his school’s band director asked during an assembly for band players, Mendoza volunteered.

By the time Mendoza and the Sanchez brothers were just finishing high school, playing gigs became a means to make enough money to get into college. The George Sanchez Orchestra would often have whole weekends booked, playing music for a prom on Friday night, the plaza on Saturday night, and a tardeada (afternoon party) on Sunday. They would play for big events too, like dances on New Year’s Eve. At their peak, George Sanchez Orchestra was invited to play the Phoenix Riverside Ballroom in Phoenix, the home of big bands.

“The Riverside was the place where good bands played,” George recalls.

Then, life happened.

Musical talent swept Sipie away at age 18, though he didn’t leave without some sound advice from George and Joe’s father. George can recite his father’s words to this day: “Sipie, no drugs, no drinking, no smoking. Women are okay.”

“He lived up to that, which is unusual for touring musicians,” George remembers. “He was a killer with his looks.”

Meanwhile, most of the band retired from music, moving on to marriages, families, and careers. Joe later became mayor of Miami. Mendoza became Globe’s high school band teacher. George became an optometrist.

Sipie continued to have a successful career playing with big bands throughout the ’40s and ‘50s.

Eventually, he came back to GlobeMiami. When he did, he brought the old band back to life in the form of Sipie and Big Band, Continued on page 29

SUMMER 2014 Big Band, Continued from page 28

the Big Band Sound. They got gigs around town, and began practicing in Joe’s garage once a month.

Then Sipie passed away.

“He continued to play until he died,” he adds. “You could name a tune and he played it.”

Original band member George Rayes also passed. Since then, other band members have come and gone, and the band eventually evolved into the eightpiece that it is today. Beyond Mendoza and the Sanchez brothers, the band currently includes saxophonist Keith Gustafson, his wife, drummer Linda Gustafson, Larry Munoz on tenor sax, guitarist Mariano

Gonzales, and steel guitarist Troy Porter.

It is the love of music that keeps the musicians of Miami Big Band Sound together, Mendoza, Joe and George agree.

“We basically play because we enjoy playing. If we get paid, that’s great. If not, that’s okay,” Mendoza says.

Of course, none of them would have made it this far without their families’ tolerance, he points out.

“If our wives didn’t put up with it, we couldn’t do it,” he says with a grin.

Keep an eye out for Miami Big Band Sound in August at the Hamburger Fry at the Gila County Historical Museum. The band will also play the Centennial High School reunion in September.

SUMMER 2014 Ed Pastor, Continued from page 1

As Pastor has been packing up his offices, his seat has been sought after by the likes of former state representative Ruben Gallego, former County Supervisor Mary Rose Wilcox, and Scott Fistler, who was removed from this year’s ballot after he went so far as to change his name to Cesar Chavez and switch his party affiliation to Democrat with hopes of winning over voters. (In 2012, Fistler lost the election race for District 4 to Pastor, and in 2013, Fistler lost the race for a Phoenix city council seat to Pastor’s daughter Laura.)

Meanwhile, in a recent conversation with GMT over his mother’s kitchen table in Claypool, Pastor hesitates to reveal what his next move is. What he does know is that while he won’t be running for office, his political life is not coming to an end.

“I’ll always continue in politics,” he assures.

“There are very few things that happen to us on a daily basis that are not influenced by politics, so I will continue in the political arena in terms of working for candidates or working for particular issues. I haven’t given up on that completely.”

Not only do politics run in his blood, he grew up around them.

Pastor was born in the house that sits on what is now Avenida de Ed Pastor. It is the same house that his 93-year-old mother Margarita still lives in to this day; it is the same house in which he sits at the kitchen table on this particular afternoon, next to his sister Eleanor and across from his mother.

Occasionally, he stops and poses a question to her in Spanish. It is also the same house that Pastor’s father Enrique built, including the bricks, which he laid out into an iron mold.

At home in Miami with his mother Maggie and sister, Eleanor.

Ed Pastor, Continued on page 31

SUMMER 2014 Ed Pastor, Continued from page 30

When Pastor was a child, Enrique worked in the smelter and was involved in the steelworkers union. Pastor remembers going with his father to the strikes at the picket line around age seven or eight.

Enrique’s penchant for politics and his involvement in the union rubbed off on Pastor. He quickly learned that whether or not you like a situation as it is, you go out and campaign for it or against it.

“If you were able to organize and be a unit, then you were able to bring about change,” Pastor remembers.

Neither of Pastor’s parents graduated from high school, so they always pushed Pastor and his siblings to excel in school while growing up.

Pastor had his first taste of politics while he was a student at Miami High. In fact, the only election he has ever lost in his life was for student body president.

“Damn Jim Bradbury beat me!” he laughs. “But ever since, I haven’t lost an election. So I think my DNA enjoyed that part of being involved.”

After Pastor graduated from Miami High in 1961, he studied at ASU, where he continued his involvement in politics.

As the eldest of three children, he was the first in his family to attend college, and he graduated in 1966 with a BA in chemistry.

After college, Pastor became a chemistry teacher at North High School.

His time spent working with students, families, and seniors as the deputy director of the Guadalupe Organization Inc. (a non-profit, community-based organization) inspired him to study law.

He returned to ASU to attend its College of Law, and received his JD in 1974.

Two years later, he was elected to the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors.

After three terms, in 1991, he resigned to run in the special election for the

congressional seat vacated by the late Mo Udall. He won and was sworn in on Oct. 3 that year as the first Hispanic person from Arizona elected to Congress, serving in what was then Arizona’s Second Congressional District.

In addition to the House Appropriations Committee, Pastor has also served on the Committee on Standards of Official Conduct, the Education and Labor Committee, and the Committee on Small Business, and the Democratic Steering and Policy Committee. He also was appointed to the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence in the 113th Congress.

Pastor talks with Stan Gibson who served three terms as mayor of Globe, at the fundraiser for the Bullion Plaza museum.

During his conversation with Globe Miami Times (GMT), Pastor took some time to reflect on the state of Congress and his time spent in office. He also made it clear he has had his fill.

“Twenty three years is a good run,” Pastor says. “It’s time for somebody else to get in.”

Below are excerpts from that conversation at his mother’s home in Claypool.

when you have governance, when you’re governing as an elected official, you always have special interests that are trying to win your favor or trying to influence you in decision making. In those terms, I don’t think governance has changed that much.

What has happened in Gila County, as I recall it, and in Arizona, is at one time, it was almost entirely all Democratic. In the ‘60s, you began to see an emergence of Republican elected officials, mainly in Maricopa County. And so today, you come to Gila County or Pinal County, or different counties in Arizona, and state legislature is now dominated by Republicans. So I’ve seen that change come about. In Congress, the politics have become more partisan, but you know, that comes and goes. But politics is a partisan game.

On that note, how has it been for you working across party lines?

Very easy, because politics is developing personal relationships. [laughs] It’s not an abstract science.

Politics are about people getting to know each other and being able to work with each other. My political philosophy is to work with the people who I deal with and who are my peers. That’s been my working attitude. You have to learn how to work with people, and you do the best you can.

Starting from the time you were first involved in politics until now, how would you say politics have changed?

As the first Hispanic individual elected into Congress, how do you think things have changed for Hispanics and minorities in Arizona since you first took office?

I don’t think politics have changed that much, in terms of the fundamental politics. It’s trying to govern. Obviously

Well, I think there’s been increased efforts to ensure that there are more economic opportunities and more

educational opportunities. So, if you use traditional gauges, the number of Hispanic students going into college and graduating from college has increased. If you look at the economic standards, more people have gone into a higher standard of living. But the reality is, even though you’ve had those advances, you still have a large number of people, a large part of the population, who have not been able to move forward as we would like for them to move forward... You still have a great number of people who are still struggling with lesser income or lesser education.

Drop out rates have improved, but they are still very high.

Spending your last months in Congress, what do you view as maybe the greatest challenges faced in Congress today?

Just being able to govern. If we’re able to pass the appropriation bills, and at the end of this fall, do what we call an omnibus bill, that will fund the government, I think it will be a great accomplishment... Right now, it’s just the ability to govern. The partisanship is getting in the way.

What do you identify as perhaps some of the most salient issues that Congress is addressing currently?

Ed Pastor, Continued from page 31

Well, I hope this year we take care of immigration reform. We talk about veterans’ health care and the problems we’re having today just with the backlog of cases, but this is the tip of the iceberg.

You’re going to have more veterans that are going to have greater difficulty in terms of their health needs. If we don’t solve the problem of meeting their health needs, that’s going to be a big challenge... Also, the cost of education. Right now, you have college students graduating with $18,000 worth of debt: professional students, doctors, dentists, etc., probably hundreds of thousands. Obviously, that’s not a good

way to maintain these professions. So the cost of education, we’re going to have to address it, and make sure our young people can get educated and go into a professions, because they’re the ones who are going to be taking care of the older people like me and providing services.

And, basically, how do we continue to do the research that allows this country to have an advantage over other countries in terms of being innovative, whether it be sciences or technology, or stuff like that?

What are your plans after your term?

When I announced, I said I was going to look for a job as a crossing guard so that I could continue to protect children.

[laughs] I really have no plans right now.

Some universities have offered some positions if I want to teach. They would like for me to teach in public policy.

Other people have approached me about joining an organization and helping out with the organization. But at this point, I really don’t have any definite plans.

Congressman Pastor meets with Mia Daniels to discuss Special Needs Girl Scouts Troop # 2760 serving the Laveen, AZ area.

There are several individuals vying for your seat, including former state representative Ruben Gallego, former County Supervisor Mary Rose Wilcox, and then there is Scott Fistler...

Aka Cesar Chavez?

Yes. I couldn’t not ask what your thoughts are on that.

Well, he ran against me. He’s a very colorful young man. What he’s done is he followed the law and changed his name, you surveyed the Mexican Americans thinking that would help him. But I don’t here, the expectation was either you were think he thought it out, or considered going to be in the Marines or be a miner. the fact that once people found him out, People saw the service as a way of getting he was going to be criticized and find it out of here or doing something with their was demeaning to Cesar lives.

Do you have any pieces of advice for youth, and maybe particularly for youth in this area or in this region, if they want to enter politics?

Center for the Arts, Continued from Cover

“The minute we got a building in good shape, the people who let us have it ousted us,” remembers Charmion McKusick, who had been previously running a pottery business in Tucson with her husband Robert McKusick.

Needless to say, when the old courthouse became available, the McKusicks, along with the other artists, were on board to restore it. Over the next decade, they dedicated themselves to bringing the building back to life.

“There were pigeon holes everywhere.

If I had to use one or two words, they would be rat hole,” Manzano adds. “At first, we worked a few hours a couple times a week. Then we realized that wasn’t going to cut it. We just about lived in that building.”

The group knocked out all the wall partitions that had been put into the building to create cubicles. They removed false ceilings, tore out worn linoleum, patched up holes in the floors and refinished them, cleaned up water damage, repainted, rewired, and re-plumbed as much of the building as they could.

The crew easily moved 15 dump truckloads worth of plasterboard, old carpeting, and linoleum out of the building.

In the words of Suzanne Lederman:

"Many people from all over the country and the world visit the CVCA. Many comment that they wish their community had a "place like this."

It was no easy task. Jon Stahlnecker and Laurie Manzano remember well. The couple are part of the original restoration group. As a 42-year-old sculptor and 38-year-old painter (respectively), the East Coast natives saw the renovation as an opportunity to create a place where they could showcase their artwork, so they embraced the cleanup of the building as a full-time job.

“It was dark and dungeon-y,” Stahlnecker remembers.

There was only a pathway to the front room. The other rooms were blocked off and the windows were caged. The roof leaked.

Governor's Room

Robert, a tile and mosaic artist, cast reproductions of the one remaining capital of one of the columns. McKusick remembers building it up and restoring it.

They used a combination of maguey (aka century plant) and hydrocal. It’s ten times harder than plaster, McKusick says, and it’s the next best thing to stone.

At the time all this was happening, the artists formed the Cobre Valley Fine Arts Guild. Once the front room was complete (it took less than a year), the guild hosted one-person and group exhibits for years. Bit by bit, the popularity of the center grew.

“Everyone was glad we were doing this because the center had been such an eyesore,” McKusick remembers. “There it had sat at the main intersection of town.”

After the center was brought to a presentable condition, the artists, in partnership with the Copper Cities Community Players (the local acting troupe), raised money to bring the building up to state fire and safety codes.

A fire escape and a walk-in safe door was added to the building, in addition to a chairlift and sprinkler system.

Center for the Arts, Continued on page 34

Center for the Arts, Continued from 33

Stahlnecker and Manzano remained involved with the center and the guild for roughly ten years.

“I didn’t realize it would be such a rich part of our lives,” Manzano, now 69, says in hindsight.

“Overall, what we were doing was so rewarding,” she adds. “That building is a treasure now.”

More artists came and others left.

The center only continued to grow and evolve as each artist left their mark. In alignment with Bigando’s early hopes, the Community Players adopted the third

floor to put on plays, and took on the task of restoring the third floor.

The center attracted artists from all walks of life, including Suzanne Lederman, a dancer from the East Coast, who became a choreographer for the Community Players in 1990. Like the rest, she saw great potential in the center, and is now in charge of the Summer Youth Musical Theater Program, which also puts on performances at the center.

“It’s really exciting to be in a place that supports the creative,” she says.

“What’s important about this place is the possibilities... The beauty of having our theater is it gives you the opportunity

to bring your ideas into being, to realize your ideas.”

Renovations of the building continued over the years so it could be used for a wider variety of uses. For many years, it housed a photography club, as well as a film club.

In 2000, artist Frank Balaam and Globe native Kip Culver became the new codirectors of the center.

Culver had been away from home for some years. Yet, prior to ever becoming director, he had, in fact, been given a tour of the center back in the mid-80s.

“My initial association with the the arts center was you knew it was a wonderful place,” Culver recalls.

Balaam eventually resigned as codirector. Culver remained, and over the last 14 years has overseen a wealth of projects, including: the development of the Rose Mofford Collection Room, the remodel of the main gallery, replacing the florescent lights, the creation of the Governor’s Room, installation of air conditioning on the third floor, the recovery and remodel of the first three rooms, repairing the exterior paint, an electrical upgrade, and reclaiming a good 5,000 square feet of the building, to name a few.

These days, the center continues to house member artists and the Community Players, as well as the Blue Hands Art Academy, the Music Academy, the Copper

Country Quilters, the Globe-Miami Youth Choir, and the White Porch Gifts & Antiques.

Though grant funding has shriveled in the last five years, Culver continues to successfully pull in funding and volunteer work for the center.

“You’ve got to keep growing up,” he says.

Now, the center is on its way to having an elevator. In fact, at the time this story was written, bids for the elevator were scheduled for June 25.

The way Culver sees it, the center was aptly named.

“It’s the core of our community,” he says. “I can’t see our community without it.”

REFLECTIONS OF THE PAST 100 YEARS

This time line is meant as just one of many snapshots reflecting the highlights of GHS and Globe over the last one hundred years. Gleaned from school yearbooks, newspaper accounts and other documents, our thanks go to Joyce McBride, historian, and Dee Hunt, GHS archivist, with providing much of the research and photos we then selected for this Centennial time line.

– 1896

Central School. Built in 1896, it was completed despite a lively debate as to whether the school was too close to houses of ill repute.

Although questionable, it was decided to be legal and an eight-room school house was built for grades 1-8.

– 1914

In November of 1914, Globe High School opened its doors to approximately 250 students, grades 7-12.

Globe was considered quite prosperous at the time and was the 4th largest city in Arizona. Speaking of the $87,000 investment in the new school, board member R. Q. Baker is quoted as saying, “This school was not built cheaply. It was built of good material and meant to last forever; a beautiful structure that rivals ancient Greece.”

1916

First year GHS produced a yearbook. Originally called ‘The Papoose’, it would change it’s name to ‘The Wigwam’ nine years later in 1927.

Highlights of 1916: Besides a variety of literary clubs, the folk dance club and the sorority, “Keepa Keepa Gabbin”, along with the boys’ fraternity, “Eata Haffa Pi”, kept the social life going. Boys and girls had tennis and basketball, while just the boys had baseball and track. With the increased enrollment, a third floor by Trost & Trost Architects was added to accommodate the 7th and 8th graders, much to the noisy distraction of students. Dances, picnics, parties, socials, carnivals, hayrides to Wheat fields and school plays made up most of their entertainment. Styles ran from straw hats, Vaseline in boys’ hair, and bobbed hair and shorter skirts for the girls.

– 1917

Labor unrest and mine strikes brought the 17th US Cavalry machine gun company to town to keep the peace.

1924 Highlights Twelve water fountains, but only four work and those recirculate the “used” water, making for a most unsanitary situation for thirsty students. Night school was a Spanish Department and a Commercial Department attended by seventy-five students. An annual circus was held with floats, a Queen and various performances were held.

GHS Centennial Celebration 1914-2014

100 Years and Moving Forward

By Jerry Jennex, School Superintendent

The 2014-2015 school-year is a momentous milestone for Globe Unified School District. Most of you will know by now that Globe High School will be celebrating it’s 100th Birthday this fall. There are many opportunities for anyone with an interest in Globe High School’s past, present, or future to get involved in the full slate of events planned to commemorate this important milestone.

As superintendent of GUSD I stand in awe of the community’s long-term commitment to do it’s best for it’s young people. As I start my third year in this leadership role, I have just begun to scratch the surface of understanding how Globe High School has made an impact on this community, on the State of Arizona, and even on our nation. Working with the Globe High School Alumni Association, I have met many people who have made outstanding contributions to the world.

While there is a special emphasis on the importance of the history of Globe High School in the upcoming months, I want to communicate with you about the future of Globe Unified School District. The district continues to work on implementing it’s vision, “Capturing Hearts, Empowering Minds." The district will be starting it’s second year with two major programs.

Capturing Kids’ Hearts is a student engagement process that GUSD began to implement in the 2013-2014 school year.

About 150 GUSD teachers and staff were trained in the process in the past year. This July there will be another 50 trained in the CKH process. The purpose of this training is to put into place a district wide process for engaging our students and preparing them to learn. It is based on the simple philosophy stated by the program’s founder, “You can’t capture a child’s mind until you capture their heart.” We are striving through this program to make GUSD a place where every student feels accepted. I know we have a long way to go for that to be true, but that is our goal and CKH is a tool to help us reach that goal.

Beyond Textbooks is a curriculum calendaring program that GUSD implemented in the 2013-2014 school year as well.

This program provides clear direction for our teaching staff to follow so that the state required student learning standards are fully addressed in every classroom. While we are still waiting for state testing results as of this writing, we are seeing evidence that this systemic approach to teaching to required standards is making a difference in our student learning.

As September of 2014 approaches I believe we can look back at 100 years of Globe High School knowing that there is much to celebrate. I also know that there are no perfect organizations and Globe High School is no different. The leadership team of Globe Unified School District, the governing board, administrators, and staff, are deeply committed to trying to start the next 100 years with the same dedication, enthusiasm, and most of all, willingness to strive for improvement so that the legacy will continue. Thanks to all who have made Globe High School and Globe Unified School district a school system that has lasted for a century. Let’s all work together to make the 2nd century even better and brighter than the first!

Bobby Armenta, Globe High School Principal It is a pleasure to be part of the Centennial Celebration and serve the students and the community of Globe as the principal of Globe High School. Our Centennial is a great opportunity to reflect on the rich history of this school and the many examples set by GHS alumni over the last 100 years. As our students reflect on the life and times of our alumni and the strong traditions passed on by generations of family members, we know that many today will be joining this roster of accomplished individuals. I'm proud to be part of a tradition so heavily built on family and community, so as we celebrate the past this fall, we also look to the future.

“We need to help students and parents cherish and preserve the ethnic and cultural diversity that nourishes and strengthens this community - and this nation.”

– Cesar Chavez

Stories from Globe High School’s Past...

By now you may have read all about the buildings, the dates of additions, annexes and upgrades, and sports wins, but what about the people who attended or worked at Globe High School? Who were the heroes, the inspirations, the rags to riches stories, and those who gave back to the community? What did they do for fun, live through wars, hard times, and other challenges?

You’ve read the facts, now what about the stories? What follows are a smattering of snapshots, peepholes into the past, not complete by any means. But we hope this helps you get to know these GHS youngsters and mentors of yesteryear, traveling in your imagination to what it was like back then.

One of the earliest stories is about a teacher. Parke E. Vickrey became the Industrial Arts Teacher at Globe High School just after it opened. He lived in Mrs. Sobey’s boarding house at 300. E. Mesquite Street. Vickrey became the football coach, and then the basketball coach. He led that team to the state’s first championship in 1921, and another famous Tiger, Jess Hayes, was on that team. In a newspaper interview with Ted Kazy, Vickrey said, “We didn’t have a school bus, so we scrounged around for transportation. Safford was a sixhour trip from Globe, if we were lucky.”

Vickrey gave up coaching in 1932, but he continued to teach for almost forty years. His wife Irene, the archaeologist who managed the reconstruction of Besh-ba-gowah, died young in 1941, and he never remarried.

John Youmans, Class of 1920, recalled some school memories for the GHS Wigwam staff as they prepared for their 75th anniversary. Youmans remembered blowing up the chemistry lab, and that he wore knickers (short pants that buckled around the knees) to school. His fondest memories were his involvement with the Boy Scouts, Globe Troop 1.

The following words by Jess G. Hayes, also Class of 1920, come from the files of the Gila County Museum: “I was born in Globe, the eleventh child in a family of six boys and seven girls. During my high school career, I became interested in basketball, and it was my privilege to have been selected the first all-state center after Globe had won the first official interscholastic championship in 1921. I taught in Globe schools for 12 years, and in 1940 the good people of Gila County elected me their school superintendent and reelected me to this office time and time again.”

Like his coach Parke Vickrey, Hayes remembers that famous 1921 championship and the road trips in particular. In a 1956 narrative from the archives, Jess said they “spent more time traveling over rough and rugged roads, exhausted more energy fixing flat tires, and pushed our automobiles farther than any team in the state.”

Probably the most famous Globe graduate, Rose Perica, was president of the student body in 1940. That was not her last political office, of course.

She went on to be Arizona Governor Rose Mofford. Interviewed by the Wigwam staff in 1992, Rose said that Stories, Continued on page 7

...Students and Staff Remember

By Jim Turner, Historian

Sp ts wasn’t wasn t everything e Sports at GHS, h wever. A 1928 graduate, Marie however.

Hachtel, wa as a m was member of the “Uke Club.” There were many college fads in the Roaring Twenties, wenties among them “coonskin co on fur coats” (bulky racco raccoon ost everyone everyo played overcoats), and almost the Hawaiian ukulele. Singe Singer Rudy Vallee and movie Pickford, e actors Mary P ckford, Douglas Fairbanks, ks, and Clara Bow Bow were their super stars back in the day. day Hachtel graduated from Northern Arizona State Teacher’s College and taught Commercial Work (Office Education) at GHS. According to the Globe Hall of Fame book for 2011-2013, at the beginning of the year she told her students, “this is about survival of the fittest!”

Horace “Hoss” Johnson’s story is an inspiration. A 1935 graduate, Johnson was the first black athlete at GHS, and he says he owes his success not to his coach, but to the principal, H. E. Stevenson. In a 1988 Arizona Silver Belt article, Johnson said, “He was a wonderful principal, a wonderful man.”

When Johnson was a junior, Stevenson wrote to his mother in Wyoming and convinced her to let her son stay in Globe and finish school, and then they would help get him placed in college. Even though Johnson had scholarship offers from several Big Ten schools, Stevenson convinced him to go to North Dakota, where they would let him play basketball.

Johnson said, “I was the only black male student at the school at the time, but I wasn’t treated differently from others. It seemed like everyone was my friend. We all were like one family.” Johnson flew with the famous Tuskegee Airmen in World War II. He retired as a Lieutenant Colonel, then taught and coached at schools in Oklahoma.

COACH CAMPO

her “thorough education, wonderful friends and a supportive family” all enhanced her successful career. She told the students to “stick to your goals, pay attention, and take advantage of any opportunity.”

In World War II, many GHS graduates became pilots. Why? According to Globe High School archivist Dee Hunt, it was one of few high schools in the nation that offered a course in aeronautics.

Jim Harbison, Class of ’42, was assigned to a B17 bomber and flew 35 missions.

Bob White, Class of ’43, flew off to war as well, as a naval aviator. His claim to fame, however, is as the creator of the UofA mascot cartoon characters, Wilbur and Wilma Wildcat. In 1948, his senior year at UofA, he entered drawings of “Cactus and Cathy Cat.” The judges liked the artwork but not the name, and Bob’s cartoons have been the official UofA mascots for more than half a century.

Once the war was over, things calmed down and people returned to local interests. Hazel Jo Hardt, now Jo Foti, Class of ’55, is the daughter of longtime Arizona Senator Bill Hardt, who came to Globe with the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1933. Foti said that her favorite classes were chemistry from Mr. Stirewalt, science from Mrs. Fulton, and photography. Foti said she didn’t date much in high school, and her first beau played semi-pro baseball, first for Globe/Miami, and then for Phoenix. “Everyone, even the high school kids, went to the semi-pro games in those days,” Foti said.

She remembers, “Surprisingly enough, when he asked my dad to borrow his car so we could go out, my ‘tough guy’ dad said yes – with a time limit, of course!”

Richard Goodwin, Class of ’63, said his fondest memories are the band trips, choral trips, and his fellow students in those groups. He said their music teacher, Mr. Nunimaker (Nunie), “taught from the heart.” When asked who he still keeps in touch with from GHS, he said, “everyone who is still above ground.” His story is another example of how world events affect high school students for the rest of their lives. He said that Kenny Green, killed in Viet Nam, is the person he misses the most.

Following Richard six years later, Class of ’69, is Globe High School’s most famous celebrity, “Wonder Woman” Lynda Carter.

She’s still an incredibly busy actress/songwriter/singer, but it’s nice to know that she keeps in touch with her classmates through the “Growing up in Globe” Facebook page.

Tim Truett, Class of ’86, says that he is most proud of classmates Frank Holder, Larry Perino, and Jeannie Uhl. He said that Frank and Larry both earned their way into military academies, which is an accomplishment in and of itself. They both served their countries honorably and have achieved a great deal of success.

Truett said that “Jeannie was always about the nicest person any of us knew. She came back to serve our community and our school as a teacher and unfortunately was taken from us much too early. But she made a significant difference in the short time she was given.”

Throughout their history, GHS students have always been concerned about what was happening in the world. Truett remembers his AP calculus teacher wheeling in a TV and they all watched coverage of the space shuttle Challenger explosion.

When asked why GHS was the best place to go to school, Truett had a Goldilocks kind of explanation. He went to three different high schools: Bagdad, Arizona, 123 students “too small,” Mountain View (Mesa) 4,500 students “too big,” and then Globe, about 800 students at the time “just right.”

So that’s almost a hundred years of stories in a nutshell, and thanks to all of those who shared their stories. Tough times or not, GHS has a lot to be proud of, and there are special bonds among the alumni that last a lifetime and go back several generations, more so than most American cities. Regardless of who was “Most Likely to Succeed,” and who actually did, the real winners are the Globe High School alumni who made friends and stuck by them for one hundred years.

An Interview with

Stories, Continued from page 6

iger football coach, Al Campo has been training high school gridiron players for 40 years and says it is all about faith, football and family and not necessarily in that order.

“Whatever faith they have should be first and after that it should be family and football.”

When it comes to winning football games, Campo says it comes down to blocking and tackling better than the other guys. “It’s all about execution, fundamentals and techniques,” he says.

Although Campo recognizes the importance of the rivalry game to the local community, to him the Tiger/Vandal match up is just another game in the season. Still, it’s the Copper Kettle we’re talking about here and he is making sure his players are prepared.

Campo, who is from Southern California, spent a career coaching in California, Arizona and New Mexico before taking over the football program with Globe High School where he says he is trying to build the program. He believes there are many areas to improve on but points to the overall attitude of the kids.

“These kids will give their heart and soul and that’s the foundation for a successful program.”

For the upcoming season in which the Tigers will meet the Vandals for the 100th time, Globe is going in with a strong roster of 12 seniors, most of them having played under Coach Campo for the last three years.

“You’ve got to have those seniors to provide the leadership on the field,” says Campo.

Barring any injuries, Campo says this year’s team is going to be very tough. “Of course, we’ll match up with Miami real well,” he says. “Last year was a tight game and they beat us 10-2. They will have alot of their kids back too, so I expect going in it’s going to be an even game again this year.”

So what’s the plan?

“Most football games are lost – not won – because of blocking or execution errors.”

“You just can’t underestimate fundamentals.

Take care of the ball... and execute. That’s our plan.”

1944

Although the official record shows the first game taking place in 1927, it appears the teams played four years earlier at a time when Miami had a fully developed team and Globe did not. That didn’t stop Globe from laughing at the Vandals when they were trounced

by Tucson and Phoenix. Miami responded by inviting Globe to play them – twice. Globe, which had neither a coach, equipment or training, badly lost both games to the Vandals; 48-0 and 31-0.

“Thirty Years of Football” 1953

The teams played twice that year winning 6-0 and 15-0. “The powerful Tiger eleven fought their way tooth and nail with their rivals, the Miami Vandals ... And again in 1945 they played twice beating the Vandals 45 - 0 early in the season and again 32 - 7 on Turkey Day. But ’46 proved a losing season when the Tigers lost their all but one team member from the previous year. They lost both games to Miami 0 -6 and 0 - 12. In ’47, with some experience under their belts they came back to beat the Vandals twice, 14 - 0 and 21 -7.

Papoose: Nov. 4 “First Game in History” “On Friday, November 11, at the Association Park, the Globe High Eleven will match their skill with the Miami High School Trojans.” Globe was sorely outmatched by a more experienced Miami team that first official game losing in ’27 and ’28 until roaring back in 1929 to win the first of many gridiron contests to come.

The game was dedicated to peace in recognition of Armistice Day. The Wigwam called it the “best season in the history of the school,” which really meant - all of four years. The Tigers won the Easter Division Championship. “This game as in the past was hard fought but Miami out classed the Tigers in everything but fight and in this they were about even.” The Apache War Cry, Miami, Arizona Friday, Dec. 4th, 1931

November A disputed touchdown causes many hot tempers but would not have changed the outcome. The Vandals reigned victorious. Vandals 12. Tigers 0 “Nearly 2000 fans packed School Hill park that afternoon to watch the Tigers square off once again with the Vandals. A disputed touchdown by Globe was hotly contested but the argument never went to the executive committee of the Eastern Arizona Conference because it was decided that the Vandals would win even with the disputed touchdown going to the Tigers. Gordon Johnson, referee, said in his opinion the score should have been 19-6”

Globe Tigers take the Eastern Conference Championship - “This was an all-around banner year for the Globe Tigers with a 9-1 season record. The team consistently shattered their opponents only losing one game that season to Casa Grande by one point 13 -14. The 1953 team was considered “ one of the best grid squads in GHS history averaged 36.4 points per game.” They beat Miami 47-12 in the final match. Coaches Pavlich and Troutt were selected to coach the Class “B” High School All Stars. (Wigwam 1954)

“Globe Tigers will dash out on the field tomorrow night to face the Vandals from Miami. Miami, sporting an experienced line with at least four players weighing over 200 pounds, will come up against the Bengal’s light and green line. Lack of experience however may not tell the tale. Globe’s backfield is a fast, illusive aggregation that will take advantage of any openings.” Arizona Record, September 17, 1953 “No matter how either team has played against other teams during the seasons, the Thanksgiving Day classic always brings out heroic football.” AZ Silver Belt.

“The Tiger Squad has had a very successful season this year with a 7-3 record. This year’s annual Thanksgiving Day game turned out to be a great one for the Tigers when they cut up the Miami Vandals 26-0. Coach Pavlich, in his last year as Tiger football coach, produced one of his best teams.” (Wigwam 1964)

Will be remembered as the year the Tigers beat the Phoenix Coyotes considered to be a much larger, heavier team in a “feat long to be remembered.”

However in the game that mattered, the Tigers tied the Vandals 7-7 despite leading at half time.

Papoose 1990 Globe Tigers win by one with a score of 29 - 28 Globe Tiger Martin Miller, a small freshman, grabbed a fumble on Vandal Field and headed for the goal post, and then the GHS school bus. Martin later explained how he had the “guts” to grab that ball and run to the goal.

“In my past, I was used to grabbing things that didn’t belong to me and running like hell. I knew if I stopped I’d be pummeled, so that’s why I ran to the safety of the school bus!”

The Copper Kettle exchange moved onto the football field for the safety of the opposing team. Going to the winning school was always a volatile situation-in both gyms.

GLOBE-MIAMI WAR GAMES

By Joyce McBride, Historian. Class of ‘64

prouts of school rivalry first appeared in 1916, shortly after Miami High School was built for 70 students and just two years after Globe High School opened its new doors to 250 high school and junior high students. Surprisingly, the catalyst that sparked the rivalry war wasn’t football, but rather baseball, and by a baseball series. Of the seven games played, Globe won the first, Miami the second, third and fourth, then Globe took the fifth, sixth and seventh and thereby the championship.

Besides baseball, in those early days GHS played basketball, track and tennis. Neither Globe nor Miami played football. Further, in 1917, the GHS athletes who lettered were two girls for basketball. The boys basketball team was inactive due to the fact there was no place to practice.

every football game except 1, including to Miami.

But in 1929, just weeks after the NY Stock market crash had ushered in the Great Depression; the Globe Tigers football team gasped new life and burst out in a winning streak, never looking back until they’d captured the Conference Championship by beating the Miami Vandals 31-0.

What slapped them awake? One can assume the sudden increase of 250 new students to Globe’s School District had something to do with it. As the

Depression worsened, school districts started falling like dominoes under across-the-board budget cuts.

First, Lee School, destroyed by fire, petitioned the Globe School District to annex the Ice House Canyon School District. Next, the acquisition of Six-Shooter Canyon’s “Little Blue Schoolhouse,” followed by the annexation of the Copper Hills and Wheatfields school districts.

When the Old Dominion Mine closed in 1931, Globe’s school budget was cut 40%, forcing teachers

The coveted Copper Kettle at Globe High School.

The first rivalry between Globe and Miami was on the baseball field.

Weeks after Armistice In 1918, Globe-Miami games in November became tradition when that game was dedicated to Peace. Globe-Miami school rivalry was as traditional as turkey, typically thought synonymous, on Thanksgiving Day. But since 1967 the traditions have split and the games are earlier in the season.

Globe High School Coach Parke Vickrey first developed a football team in 1923. Humble beginnings to be sure, but consistent! The Tigers football team lost every game they played of every season against their then opponents, Hayden, Safford, Superior and Mesa their first two years. In 1925 the Tigers won their first ever two games against Safford and Superior, only to be promptly demoralized by Mesa, who sent them whimpering back to their losing position the rest of the season and the next.

In 1927, Miami developed a football team. The first football game played between the Globe Tigers and Miami Vandals was Globe’s 4th game of the season.

Globe’s Virgil Shute made the only touchdown, thus losing to Miami 18-6. And then in 1928, the Tigers lost

to teach multiple classes in overcrowded schools.

Football Coach Pieper also taught a surveying class.

Two students proposed a project of putting a big letter “G” on a hill in downtown Globe. Coach Vickrey joined in and recruited athletes and other students to haul rocks onto the hill and build the “G,” we have today. That year the Tigers defeated the Vandals on Thanksgiving Day when Giacoma ran 80 yards through the entire Miami team.

By 1946, Globe had won 15 and Miami ten with one tie. So in 1947, Miami High School boosters asked The International Smelting and Refining Co. to create some sort of symbol of the Globe-Miami football game, a trophy to be awarded to the victor each year. Master mechanic P.A. Foust suggested, and both Globe and Miami’s smelter workers created the 100+ lb. copper kettle with an ever-growing chain of footballs attached.

Each link is inscribed with the name and date of the latest victor.

“Each year two towns come alive. The quest for the copper kettle is a communal one. One town will be cast into darkness, the other into the light of victory.

All will be touched by the Globe-Miami struggle. The newspaper, radio, and booster clubs spread the word of the coming battle.

Day by day each school moves closer to conflict.

The contest spills over into the classrooms, the hallways, and the Friday afternoon pep rallies. Each school seeks the best in itself; old troubles are put aside for the sake of conquest.” . . . (1983 Wigwam p79) Of the 99 games played, Globe has won 61. Miami has won 34 and there were four ties. On September 19, 2014, the 100th game will be played at Harbison Field.

It’s anyone guess which team will win it, but you can be certain that night every student and alum in the Globe-Miami community will have adrenalin coursing through their Tiger and Vandal veins.

A Shout Out to Tanner Yeager - GHS 2011 - Photographer Tanner Yeager was the Globe Miami Times official go to photographer for the centennial photo shoots involving students and local merchants. He not only handled the photography, but in most cases helped line up the students, and worked closely with GMT and our customers to schedule the shoots. As a 2011 GHS graduate, he is well known among his peers, but is also making a name for himself on the Motocross circuit and keeps expanding his photography to include portraits, events, seniors and more.

We hope you'll visit his gallery on Smugmug where he will be posting photos taken during the process of compiling the GHS Centennial edition.

Visit http://tanneryeager.smugmug.com/ where you can purchase prints by contacting Tanner at tanneryeagerphoto@gmail.com.
