Town receives herbicide sprayer with Tonto National Forest By Taylor Beard Hurrah for the Cacti! As part of the recent RAC forestry grant of $27,900 that the Town of Superior and Tonto National Forest jointly received from the Southern Resources Advisory Committee in Tucson, the Town of Superior will be receiving two large ‘gifts.’ Sure these ‘gifts,’ coming from the $15,500 portion of the grant directed to the Public Works Department, will not be arriving boxed, wrapped and topped with a large yellow ribbon, but the town should appreciate
them as such. These two gifts are a big deal to the future beautification and botanical health of the town and the surrounding area. The most immediate ‘gift’ to be granted is an industrial-strength herbicide sprayer, a 500 gallon Water Dog Herbicide Trailer, which the Town of Superior will share with Tonto National Forest will be used for some industrial-strength killing of noxious, invasive non-native weeds, more specifically Fountain Grass and Buffel Grass, two
of the most problematic weeds in the area. Killing Grass? Sure, it may seem low on the list of things-to-do, but it’s really not. The invasive weeds affect everything that you might really love about the desert that surrounds you. These weeds, among others, threaten the health and life of the desert area that includes Tonto National Forest, spreading rapidly and choking off water and nutrients that native plants, such as the Giant Saguaro and Cholla cacti, desperately need. These
grasses could even be attributed as part of the reason why the Picketpost wildfire spread so rapidly. Unfortunately, once these grasses catch fire, they burn hot and burn fast, thus helping to quickly kill off any native species in the area of incineration; as a double-whammy, once everything grows back, the grasses are some of the first, growing quickly and further damaging the life of the native species. If, heaven-forbid, some dude shooting his rifle off in the desert starts another fire, don’t the cacti, cat
claw and jojoba deserve a fighting chance? Does it make more sense as to why a massive, industrial sprayer is necessary? As if that wasn’t a big enough bundle of joy for the town that is superior, there is an even better Part Two! The grant once it was awarded, was broken up in to two parts, the first being the sprayer and the second being money available for a NEPA (National Environmental Policy Act) Environmental Assessment Study to be conducted on the Town of Superior. The study
will be conducted by an outside contractor who will begin as soon as the monies are available for the project. The funds will hopefully be available in the winter of 20112012. The purpose of the study is to analyze and determine certain environmental affects and impacts in a given area. Having the study will open the Town of Superior to wider variety of grants that will be available specific to the findings of the study, along with grants available to only those See Sprayer, Page 7

and yes, while most would make this trip for funding, most would not take the time to drive three hours if they knew that they were only going to be given five minutes to talk. Three hours, with traffic, each way, is a long way to drive to only talk in front of a board for five minutes. Most people would do the math and think, ‘NAH! It’s not worth my time.’ Not Mila and not Mayor Hing. They took the time to travel down on the behalf of the Globe Ranger District of the Tonto National Forest to pitch what they felt was a very reasonable request for funding in Tucson to the Southern Resources Advisory Committee. They requested funding from this forestry grant in the amount of $12,400. This will provide the LOST

Trail with two weeks of professional crews of trail builders to do all of the manicuring and maintenance necessary to the Desert Gateway portion of the LOST Trail, which extends from the Airport to the Hewitt Station Road trailhead. While there is a large community of volunteers in and around Superior who are willing to give their time graciously and help build the LOST Trail, there are certain attributes that they are just simply not skilled enough to cover, such as fixing water crossings or other maintenance issues. “It was a very competitive process,” Lira said. “We were given five minutes to sit in front of the entire RAC approval committee and pitch ourselves. So myself and Mayor Hing and Pablo Burkehardt, went to Tucson and the

committee asked us different questions.” The reasoning for having such a process is that the Southern Resources Advisory Committee is allowed one large pot of money and it is up to their purview as to how they will divvy it out; hence the competitive process of questioning. They have a large amount of projects vying for the funds and need a way to decided who is most worthy. It is unfortunate that Superior and the Tonto National Forest happen to reside in the northern most part of the Southern RAC section, but that is simply how the blocks fall. Yet, our representatives were not going to let the distance stand in their way. Due to the large amount of requests, the SRAC asked the delegation if they would be willing to reduce the amount of their request, which they were. However, the team did such a bang up job in their presentation, married with their willingness to make the trip, that the committee decided not to reduce their requested amount. “They decided not to reduce our requested amount because they were
so pleased that we cared enough to come down and make our presentation,” Mila explained. Having been granted their specified amount, the money will become available in the winter of 2011-2012 and the trail building will likely begin in the Spring of 2012. Mila happily illustrated other new developments taking place with the LOST Trail, such as a new partnership with the Bureau of Land Management to identify watchful wildlife areas throughout the Copper Corridor and into Southern Gila County. “They are really looking at the Lost Trail as one of the major interpretive areas to talk about watchable wildlife in the Copper Corridor,” she said. Mind you, the LOST Trail is the first gateway trail in the entire Arizona Trail system, which is a pretty big deal. The LOST Trail will be having a trail building day on Saturday, Oct. 8. For information about how you can volunteer for this project, please contact Mila Lira at mlira@ miracleexecutiveservices. com.

Here Come the Colors! Dia de Colores set for Oct. 15 By Taylor Beard Ooooh Yeah! The temperature has dropped a bit – just a bit – but just enough that you can open your windows at night and enjoy the cool breeze in the evenings. School is back in; football games are back on; the fiestas just did a bang up job of feeding the whole town and then some…and since the culture and beauty of this desert settlement is so rich, all of these happenings remind us that one more is coming up quick, like those last fleeting colors of the evening sun. DIA DE COLORES, FOLKS! That wonderful celebration of art in our lovely little community so blessed with culture and history it might just explode. The 10th Annual Dia De Colores Art Festival is taking place on Saturday, Oct. 15, and the Superior Chamber of Commerce is more than pleased to invite you to come and partake in the wonder that this town can produce. Entering this year’s Dia de Colores Art Festival is Home grown tattoo artist, Javier ‘Javi’ Campos! Born and raised in Superior, Javi has been honing the art of tattooing for almost two years. Having worked at Flesh Creations in Tolleson, Arizona, he specialized in custom-script, Chicanostyle tattoos and enjoys working on vividly-colored tattoos. Javi and his close friend Al (another supremely talented artist) will be hand-styling tattoos during the festival. It is possible that the owner of Flesh Creations, Duane Rhodes, who specializes in portraits, Japanese and realist tattoos, will also be on hand during the festival. Javi and Company will be setting up shop for the day in the old Roses building located at 350 Main Street. To view Javi’s incredible work, check out www.
facebook.com/javitattoos, and www.fleshcreations. com. The Main Art Exhibit, with Javi and other wildly talented artists, will be taking place from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. There will also be an Art in the Park project for children taking place at Besich Park from noon to 2 p.m. This is worth checking out as you might have the chance to be present for a child’s first experience creating artwork. Way too cool for words! In addition to the already fabulous line up, there will be an extensive art tour taking place through the day. The Dia de Colores
Art Tour will include four Artists’ studios hosted by the artists themselves: Mari Jackson, Tommy Macias, Charles Davison and Bernie Nienaber. Also included in the art tour are the Rolling Rock Gallery, Porter’s Café, La Serna General Store and the Copper Gecko. Each location offers a variety of different mediums of art. The art tour will be open to visitors from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. As an added bonus, there will be a fantastic car show to supplement the already awesome line-up of talent. Also at Besich Park, Safety Patrol will perform from 2:30 - 3:30 p.m.
To top of the event, that evening there will be a dinner held under the stars at the newly renovated
Magma Club which will be held from 6 to 9 p.m. with tickets running $20 per dinner guest including
dinner and live musical entertainment by the regional jazz duo “Uno See Colors, Page 14

The price of Copper has been slowly dropping over the past few weeks; the drop has been attributed to the unfavorable economic situations in Europe.

Copper Basin artist to be featured during annual Art and Wine Auction “Painting is something I’ve always loved and was encouraged to do throughout my life,” Wanda Mitchell-Tucker speaks about her life-long passion with her dad as her biggest supporter. “He purchased a set of oil paints and brushes and told me, ‘Now you do something with this.’” She continues, “I am so blessed for my dad to have lived long enough to see my success.” Wanda Tucker’s painting will be the “theme” painting for the CV Foundation Art and Wine Auction fundraiser to be held at the Gila County Fairgrounds beginning at 6 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 3. “The old cowboy is sharing stories of his life with friends as a nice bottle of wine is enjoyed,” Wanda describes the painting specifically created for the event. “The saddle represents his life’s work. The painting is called, Warm Fire and Fine Wine.”

Pastor’s Corner By Rev. Dennis Van Gorp Family Life Christian Center The quality of a person is often found in their determination and persistence. It is the ability to stick with a task and see it through to the end. Employers love to see this trait in their staff. In the book of Genesis, we find a man gifted with such abilities. His name is Noah. He came from an interesting family. His story is told in Genesis 5-9. His great-grandfather was Enoch, a true believer in God. He walked with God for three hundred and sixty five years and then he was taken into Heaven without dying. His grandfather, Methuselah, lived to be nine hundred sixty nine years old, the oldest human
in history. His father Lamech lived 777 years. Noah was 500 years old when he became the father of three sons. Humanity had become evil and corrupt in their lifestyle and God was not pleased. He was watching Noah and his family, a very Godly people. He, like his ancestors, walked with God. At the ripe, young age of 500, God called him to a special task. He was to build a very large boat to hold his family, many animals and food for all of them. For one hundred years he labored at building the Ark; 450 feet long, 75 feet wide and 45 feet high. It was one and a half football fields in length. In a land of people who did not believe in God, they thought he was a

He further explained that the Forest Service and Town of Superior worked together to identify the needs of both parties with the Tonto National Forest writing the grant. Well, kudos to both the Town of Superior and the Tonto National Forest for all of their hard work. Both of these projects will help the community of Superior in more ways that can be readily listed. Look for future articles on the various weeds being eradicated by the Water Dog and what you can do to help.

crazy old man. He kept talking to them that it would soon rain and create a flood. The problem is, no one knew what rain was, because it had never rained before. He was talking of a world-wide flood and needing to save the animals; yet his boat was many miles from the nearest body of water. Had he lost his mind? Many thought so. During this hundred year project, life was not easy for Noah and his family. His friends tried to talk him out of this silly idea. They disagreed with his weather forecast of severe rain and floods. They tried to discourage the task of rounding up all those
animals. They criticized his construction of a four story boat. They argued about hearing from a divine being who, to them, did not exist at all. Despite everything, Noah stuck with his job. Genesis 6:9 says, “Noah did everything just as God commanded him.” He wasn’t listening to the local people. They did not understand or comprehend a God who would require such a thing to be done. At the wonderful age of 600, the task was complete. It took desperate determination to stick with it, despite all the negativity from his neighbors, local officials and tourists coming to see

were in trouble. But it was too late. When God tells you what He needs done, give it your all. Do your very best job. Just like Noah did, see it through to completion. Disregard those who say it can’t be done. God does not ask us to do the impossible, although at first glance, it may seem impossible. The Lord will honor you with many blessings for your obedience, determination and persistence.

Panthers take down the Wildcats By Taylor Beard Well, that was easy! Or if it wasn’t the boys sure made it look like it was. The Superior Panthers made excellent use of their time during the break, working on drills and running through plays. Aching from their loss against Pima, the Panthers were looking for some payback when they headed to Cibeque to meet the Wildcats on the field. Do you think the Wildcats saw it coming, the beating that they were about to endure? The Superior boys kicked some serious feline behind during the game, ending with a score more than double their opponent’s, 53-26. Whooop! What do you have to say about that! With this win, the Superior Panthers upgrade their overall season record to 4-2, with a league record of 3-2, leaving them 11th in standing in Division VI. Next up the boys take on the Duncan Wildkats in Superior, Friday, Oct. 7, at 7 p.m. Be there or be square! Come see this excellent team play through the cool evening breeze, as they get back to Friday Night Lights.
Lady Panthers suffer a loss against Gilbert Christian
By Taylor Beard Having lost many of their power players with the graduating class in May, the Lady Panthers are struggling to find the ebb and flow of their excellent team. Do not misunderstand! This team has talent, serious talent, yet it takes time for a young team to get their bearings and come together. Communication and cooperation is needed, but first the girls must find a balance that works for them and learn to trust each other as teammates. Once they bridge that gap, the will come together as a strong unit and rock the house. With their loss against Gilbert Christian on last Tuesday, leaving with a score 0-3 is a harsh reminder of how important team work is. They’ll get there, but they need your support to do so. The Lady Panthers will next battle it out in Superior with the ladies of the San Tan Foothills on Wednesday, Oct. 5, with Junior Varsity playing at 5 p.m. and Varsity hitting the floor at 6 p.m. Following this, the girls go against the Lady Tigers of Globe, again in Superior, on Thursday, Oct. 6, with the JV at 5 p.m. and Varsity at 6 p.m. At press time, the outcome of the Lady Panthers match against the Miami Vandals was unknown and will be reported next week. Come out and support the ladies. They need some cheering in their favor!

Head Start kids tour Resolution office The Resolution Copper Company is a proud supporter of Superior Head Start’s focus on mathematics, science, safety and literacy; and to show their support, their Community Liaisons, Elizabeth Magallanez and Jessica Castillo, hosted the children and parent volunteers in a walking field trip to the Main Street office. Field trips provide experiences that can last a lifetime, allowing children the chance to learn valuable lessons outside the classroom through hands-on experience, Walking field trips in the business community , combined with the captured photographs also help children to visually and physically connect to the community and strengthen their learning. Elizabeth read aloud the story book titled, Earthly Treasures, which was recently donated by Resolution Copper to the Superior Head Start classroom, asking openended questions; and the children responded enthusiastically. When asked what they knew about mining, one child exclaimed, “My dad has worked there!” And another child demonstrated “digging” with an imaginary shovel. Resolution Copper Company provided goody bags filled with bottled water, granola bars, pencils and more. This walking field trip is just one example of the many valuable resources Resolution Copper Company has provided to the Head Start children throughout the program year. The first fatherhood activity coverage was “..awesome!” as described by Teresita Martinez-Olmos.
“The children, parents, grandparents and staff were thrilled!” she went
on to say. The children also expressed thanks
and appreciation to Resolution Copper Company and their
staff for their continued support of the program.
One child said, “They are good neighbors.”

Uncovering the hidden gems of Superior: By Taylor Beard One of my first assignments when I moved to Superior was to cover the Cruisin’ Main event. This was easily like the jackpot of events because, as I am sure most of you know at this point, I love cars. LOVE Cars. My father and grandfather have always been car guys and absolutely imbued that love in me from a very young age. On rainy days, I sit around and nerd-out on the British car show, Top Gear (the original), and when I was younger I used to pour over my grandfather’s subscriptions of the Automobile and Car & Driver. Yeah, I am a big nerd. Big Nerd about cars. My perfect job would probably be the job that Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May currently have. Not only do these men get to bound around the UK in awesome cars like the new Lamborghini ‘Aventador’ or the ever luscious Aston Martin ‘Vanquish’, but they get to fly all over the world to do random challenges like beat a professional skier from the top of the French Alps to the bottom in an Audi Avante – first to make it to the pub wins. I am envious of these men. Though, let’s be honest, I will never be able to afford anything even remotely close to an Audi Avante unless I get published J.K. Rowling-style. Yet, the cars are fun to dream about, right? Happily, for those of us who don’t deem $200k to be a drop in the bucket, there are a bevy of other vehicles that are worth just as much praise and I have been finding out that there is a wonderful gathering of car lovers right here in Superior. At the last Cruisin’ Main, I decided to seek a few out. Naturally, I wandered over to Ted Eminowicz, a.k.a. Mr. E. The man reminds me of Santa Claus in biker garb. Jolly! How could he not be my first choice?
And I lucked out: the man has, I would say, the personality of Santa Claus in biker garb. He rocks! He is a supremely cool dude. So I met up with him one morning and he wandered out into the sunshine, coffee in hand, beard full with a huge grin on his face. Did I mention that the man is awesome? He’s not going to put up with any bull, but he is going to give you the help if you need it and do so with a smile. I like this about him. Gruff, but loveable. First, he began by schooling me on the differences between car fanatics. “There are three categories,” he said simply. “You got your restorers, who restore cars back to original. And then you’ve got your custom car builders and then you have your hot rodders, like me. You know, I’m an old biker who can’t really ride anymore so I figured I would go find one of them old hot rods I had back in the day.” Three categories, hmm! You learn something new every day. I am pretty sure somewhere in the depths of my mind, I knew this had to be the case. I just had never had it spelled out for me. Now visions of different vehicles were spilling into my brain and it all made sense. Mr. E explained that there are some who have the luxury of getting everything done by someone else and then there are those who do it themselves. “That’s the group I am in. I like doing it myself,” he said plainly. Plus you know you’re doing it right when you do it yourself. So here is where the interview changed a little from the original plan…I thought I was going to ask him about building cars, and well, he had a different plan, and it was definitely one that I was game for. He started telling me about
all of the ‘Hidden Gems of Superior’ – all of these little jewels of vehicles that are just hanging out in people’s backyards that had either been re-built, were in the process of being re-built or were begging to be re-built. He told me that within a block, I could easily see a handful of examples of this. Yep, I am game. We walked outside and he led me next door to his brother’s place and we stood in front of a locked up shed which Mr. E fumbled through a ring of keys looking for the right one…I am so glad he found it, since waiting behind closed doors was a beautiful 1960 Chevrolet Impala that was completely restored. I sort of spazzed-out a little when I saw it: beautiful and black with a pair of dice hanging from the rearview. I kind of thought it was my birthday come early! I expected to get to see one cool old car and instead got a whole handful. “Here’s another car in the making,” he pointed to an old rusted out something that was sitting in a neighbor’s yard. It was for sale and though it didn’t really have a front end to it, I could see the potential. The fact that it was pulled apart was like a big neon sign yelling “Put Me Back Together!” As he closed the Impala back up for safe keeping, he started rattling off some of the old awesomeness that I might have seen as I drove over to his house. “Right when you turn onto Palo Verde from Sunset, right across from the Saint Mary’s…if you stop at the stop sign and look kind of kitty-corner from the stop sign, there’s a ’59 Chevy Biscayne, kinda white and blue, sitting in the back yard. You can see it from the stop sign, and he just got it done,” he said. I hadn’t seen it, but sure enough every single time I drive past that stop sign, I now look for the Biscayne and stare at it for a second or two before I move on.
We moved next to Larry’s house. Larry Velasquez is Mr. E’s neighbor and fellow car fanatic. And sitting in his yard was a ‘72 vintage Chevy C10 truck in the process of being restored. Hanging out next to it was a ’63 Thunderbird, also in the process of being restored. I found myself wanting to stick around and help. Mr. E popped the hood on the Chevy to show me the engine and sheepishly grinned over at me. “See it’s all tricked out,” he said. It’s not often that you get
to experience Santa Claus saying, “It’s all tricked out”…it’s quite the joyful moment. At this point we attempted not to trespass and failed, hanging over Larry’s fence into his next door neighbor’s yard that housed a ‘60s station wagon, also looking for a restorer to freak out all over it. “Ahhh. He’s got a nice set of Krager SSs on it already. Polish them up,” Mr. E was already seeing the immense potential of the station wagon. So…what about Mr.
E’s car, right? You are all wondering when it cruises into the picture? This is quite the story of “getting’ back together,” probably one of the better ones I’ve heard. Back in the day (way back in the day), Mr. E had a special little coupe that he enjoyed rather a lot, but he eventually sold it off to a friend and regretted it. But that was that and no big deal. Well the friend didn’t enjoy the car nearly as much and eventually the car fell into derelict order and became a chicken coop for a nice flock

A short walk with Mr. Eminowicz of brown hens. Time went on and the friend eventually passed away, but here is the kicker…that friend knew how much Mr. E enjoyed that little coupe, so in his will he left Mr. E the 1933 Ford 3-Window Coupe that had once been his. Last year, Mr. E headed down to Texas, fished the ’33 Ford out of the chicken coop, put it on a trailer and brought it home. He
then lovingly restored it to the absolutely fantastic condition it is in today. It’s perfect. In the course of my interview, I wandered from two beautifully restored classics through others that were well on their way to glory and even had the opportunity to understand the potential of a few that just needed a loving hand. He was right, we didn’t wander that far, but
Mr. E was reunited with an old love – A ‘33 Ford Coupe. (Taylor Beard photos)
the bounty that we found was overflowing. I now constantly find myself searching for the hidden gems of Superior, and I find them all the time. I pride
myself on having a pretty large vocabulary, yet while in the company of Mr. E I found myself only saying “Awesome,” repeatedly. It’s excellent when you
find yourself at a juncture where only one word can effectively describe the situation. You can see many great examples of the three types:
restored, custom and hot rod at the upcoming car show taking place during Dia de Colores on Saturday, Oct. 15, on Main Street in Superior.

No Bull Ranching, more exciting than we knew: Part Two, What I know now By Taylor Beard Previously, I told you about the “hard” life I had known to be ranching. Oh and I thought I was tough and hardy and “blah-diblah-di-blah.” Then there’s Dave Ericcson and Dave’s style of, shall we say, “KICK-IT-in-the-pants” ranching. Dave ended up in Arizona due to the fact that he is literally one of the best ranchers alive. When I first met him, the famous Beef: it’s what’s for dinner! commercials kept playing through my head and if I didn’t have the complete package of savory steaks, Marlboro-man images, bells, whistles and xylophone, I at least had Aaron Copland’s Hoe Down theme blasting my dendrites. Occasionally, the Lone Ranger theme decided to pop in for my listening pleasure. Aside from being a National and World Champion Bronc rider, he is one of the most capable individuals on the planet when paired with a horse and rope. Because of this, he is hired by several groups (i.e. ASARCO, BHP, Resolution, U.S. Forest Service, among others) to come in and extract wild animals (burros, mustangs, cattle, etc.) from either various National Parks, National Forest or the land surrounding private operations. Very few, if any, people can get this type of job done. Tame cattle can be “interesting” to deal with, so I was pretty intrigued when I heard about the truly wild relatives of animals that I already considered, at times, ferine. Dave could easily be considered an expert, the expert, in ranching and when I asked him what he enjoyed the most about ranching, he replied, “That would be really hard to say, I like it all really, very much…it’s all

I’ve ever wanted to do and I have been awfully lucky,” which is very evident considering that he could have happily retired several years back but has chosen to stick with it. He has this magnificently soft tone and manner that makes you like him that much more. This would have been a deep love and commitment for someone who ranches in the normal manner, yet bearing in mind the environment and circumstances by which Dave, his truly wonderful wife Jennifer and their family operate their ranch, the depth is amplified ten-fold. On the afternoon that I went up to spend time with Dave and Jennifer, in the middle of our conversation, Dave received a call that there were cattle loose on Highway 60 and within minutes the horses were loaded and he was off in retrieval mode. It is possible that the cattle were part of his herd or that they were wild, I never thought to ask, but at any given time he can be tasked with either. As I spent time with the Ericssons, their commitment to this way of life unfolded like layers of a splendidly sweet onion, sweet with a bit of bite… there are many more complicated adjustments that they must make to an already difficult lifestyle. In normal circumstances, if you want to be a true cowboy, you’d use horses, dogs and a large team of wranglers each trained along with their horses in the art of “cutting” the herd (separating heifers, cows, steers and bulls into groups or one to
a few animals from the entire group); each part of this equation has its specific purpose. To make things easier, many ranchers now ride ATVs during a round-up or drive; thus eliminating the need for trained riders and horses and to many people they are no longer considered true to the cowboy nature. There are several changes to this sense of norm that the Ericssons must make simply to get by and this is just the first layer of the onion. First, typically a roundup or cattle drive will take place on open, relatively flat ground (hence making atvs a possibility), yet there are instances which take place in areas of national forest. However, these are still relatively navigable and many can still be done by ATV. The Ericssons ranch and retrieve on a vast stretch of the Tonto National Forest, and for various reasons, this is immensely more difficult. The geologic make-up of the area is certainly not flat or even remotely smooth; the majority of it is strewn with all sizes and types of boulders and less than pleasant flora and fauna. I definitely never dealt with cholla, saguaros or javelina when ranching in Utah and even though one type of rattlesnake existed there, I never saw one. Naturally, due to these factors regular antics really don’t work that well for the Ericssons. They have to raise their horses from birth in the wilderness for the first 4-5 years to acclimate them or, basically, they would die; it is not possible to bring in adult animals to the area, they simply are not hardy enough. This is the
same situation with the cattle…the Ericssons have slowly built their herd up over the years from an original herd that was raised here since it is not possible to integrate grown cattle into this situation. “All of the cattle, we bought the remnants,” Jennifer said. “All the cattle were born and raised here; you can’t bring horses in, you can’t bring cattle in because they don’t know how to feed, they don’t know how to make it in the rocks.” I don’t think I could make it in those rocks and I have the privilege of critical reasoning. Typically, dogs used in herding cattle will be trained to approach the cattle from behind to herd the animals into a group, yet in the case of the Ericssons’ dogs they are trained to go for the head to stop them rather than herd them. “The terrain is so rugged that by the time you can get to the cattle on a horse you don’t want them going anywhere you want them stopped,” Jennifer said. So right there, much of what is normal is broken…the usual formula fails. You can’t cut the herd because you can’t really get to the herd quickly, you definitely cannot use ATVs. And…it get’s even more gnarly than this bump in the road. I mentioned that Dave, aside from having his own herd, captures wild cattle…cool beans, right? You capture wild cattle and add them to your herd, right? No…they are apparently quite mean and this is a real bummer. Let me explain. With cattle in a normal herd, you have the ability See Ranching, Page 13
October 5, 2011
Ranching
Continued from Page 12 to dock their horns and work with them constantly so that they are used to your company. Wild cattle have generally never been around humans so they are fiercely defensive and aggressive towards anyone trying to capture them. Imagine the bull in Spain who has recently been gaining publicity because he has killed several people…now imagine that bull on crack and that’s what you’ve got here. That bull has been around people; these animals have not. Now consider the fact that because these animals have never been around people, their horns (even the females) have been allowed to grow and be honed into sharp points. The wild cattle don’t care what they go after; they just go after something, whether it is horse, dog, human or even other cattle. Dave has definitely found this out, with a wild bull once flipping his horse over on top of him. So instead of adding wild cattle to the herd, Dave sends them to auction. Originally Dave was hired merely to take the animals off the land, but the companies were having a hard time keeping their cattle gentle, so Dave began herding to rectify this situation. So far, Dave and his family have taken over 1,700 cattle off the land from the original ASARCO herd that was composed of 280. Aspects of ranching like working the herd aren’t really possible, aside from the fact that herding on this terrain can literally be described as sticking yourself between a rock and a hard place. “There is not a fence between here and Mexico, maybe some old farmer has one or something, but beyond that no, so that cattle just go,” Dave said. So gathering up the whole herd becomes a bit of an issue. Naturally, things like breeding or tagging or branding or castration in a “mannerly” way kind of blows up right in your face. The norms of structure that I once knew in ranching are no longer a viable option for the most part. You know earlier when I talked about checking on newborn calves regularly to tag them earlier to make life a titch easier? Yeah, that’s not happening. First, breeding no longer happens just once a year because the bulls are always in with the cows and heifers, so you are always looking for newborn calves. Nature rocks and things usually
Superior Sun, Superior, Arizona take their course as they should, but occasionally they don’t and birthing becomes a problem. On our ranch we would just load them up and bring them to the vet. Usually that’s not an option in this situation. “Any calf is better than no calf to me,” said Dave. Then, because the cattle that Dave deals with can be anywhere from 50 feet to miles upon miles upon miles (remember the Mexico comment?) away across rugged terrain, you might find a “newborn” calf that is almost a year old and oh what a joy that is to capture in an open area that is the opposite of flat and simple. Now it makes more sense as to why the dogs are trained to stop the cattle rather than herd them, right? Did I mention that there are no roads across much of this landscape? This means you have to pack everything in: Salt licks, branding iron, tools for castration, food, water, dog food, toilet paper, EVERYTHING. AND you no longer have the luxury of working with chutes to work the cattle (I never thought I would think of the chutes as a luxury). This forces you to always be Johnny on the spot. Always. Poor little dudes, everything happens all at once pierced ears/chopped testicles/ charred skin; what a crappy day! “It’s not an easy task,” Jennifer said. “It’s not modern, but I think that is what Dave loves about it. I always say ‘It’s not what’s going to happen today, because something’s gonna happen, it’s how bad is it going to be?’” It’s definitely not monotonous or hum drum. So—this is just a small portion of how I got schooled on the true tough side of ranching and I am not going to lie, it was awesome! Dave and Jennifer Ericsson are, in my opinion, two of the humblest, most enjoyable and fascinating individuals I have had the pleasure of coming across and the really cool thing about them is that they want to share this unique lifestyle of theirs with others. If you are ever interested in finding out more about catching wild cattle and ranching in this singular style, not only is there a documentary on Dave, Wild Cow Catchers, but the Ericssons willingly invite others to visit the JI Ranch to check it out. Contact Jennifer or Dave Ericsson, easily found in the local phone book, to make arrangements. It is one of the coolest things you can do for yourself.
