LETTER TO THE EDITOR Local impacts of tax bill Taxpayers and voters of the Tri-Community and Copper Corridor will soon come face to face with what the Tax Cut and Jobs Act means for our communities. Based on demographics of the region, it’s clear that most local taxpayers won’t be major beneficiaries. In fact, Eastern Pinal taxpayers will be big losers if adding a trillion + dollars to the federal deficit triggers cuts to entitlement programs like Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security and Food Stamps.

Rich people and big corporations aren’t located here so their gains won’t be felt here.

At best a handful of small businesses may benefit at the margins from changes in tax rules regarding treatment of pass through profits. Another handful who currently deduct contributions to churches and charities may gain from a doubling of the standard deduction.

But religious institutions and non profits themselves may be losers as local donors lose tax incentives to make contributions.

On the job growth front, Eastern Pinal County needs investments in infrastructure, education and training to both grow and access good paying jobs. Tax cuts targeting big corporations and the super wealthy will produce none of the above. Even a best case scenario put forward by corporate tax cut devotees fails to envision a surge in good paying jobs to replace those lost to mine, mill and smelter closures in places like San Manuel, Mammoth, Oracle, Hayden, Winkelman, Kearny and Superior.

Many Tri-Community residents will recall that what closed the San Manuel mine, mill, smelter and refinery, when still profitable wasn’t the price of copper, labor contracts, environmental regulations, the corporate tax

rate or some combination thereof. It was demands made by a multi national corporation - BHP Billiton headquartered in Australia - for an unattainably high return on capital investment and a tax write off that Congress is leaving untouched in current negotiations.

Of course, the well being of workers and their families never figured in these corporate calculations any more than the well being of ordinary tax payers figured prominently in congressional deliberations. The rock solid heart of the new federal tax cut legislation is not “middle class tax cuts”, which are uncertain and, at best, piddling, but huge cuts designed to make Corporate America more profitable than it currently is. Ironically because 35% of US corporations are owned by foreign investors the payoff to them from this legislation is gigantic.

The claim that going deeper into debt to aid big business serves the common good is ridiculous on its face.

Congress, as of this writing, is wrapping up the Tax Cut and Jobs Act before sending it to the President for his signature. Unsurprisingly their most recent move is to make additional cuts to taxes on the wealthy.

What we now know is that when the tax bill’s impacts are finally tallied through real life experience, there will be a few big winners and and lots of losers including our children and children’s children who will assume responsibility for the nation’s staggering debt load. If the citizens of the nation can’t stop this massively unpopular legislation now, opportunities for redress at the next election in November, 2018 loom on the horizon. /s/ Frank Pierson Oracle, AZ

Good Things Happening

ome good things happened along the Gila this week. The new center behind Kearny’s town library was dedicated last Friday. The Pinal County Courthouse, also in Kearny, has received extensive physical improvements. The people of Riverside had a “town square” celebration complete with a visit from Santa Claus, other food and fun, and a large display of lights. And the people of the Copper Basin are reaching out in many ways to provide Christmas gifts, especially for children.

The old youth center behind Kearny’s library has been a building in search of a purpose. The folks at the library had a vision for a multi-purpose program involving not only the young people, but a space for community projects to take place. Over the last few months, with the help of volunteers, the Friends of the Library, the Town of Kearny and ASARCO the building has been transformed, inside and out. New cabinets, new paint and substantial equipment for youth activities have come about.

The date of the dedication, on a Friday, recognized that one of the building’s purposes is for young people.

The Friday program for youth has already been a going proposition, and the building’s new look will only make things better.

The courthouse in Kearny has been receiving many improvements from Pinal County. It now sports a new efficient furnace and air conditioning system. This week the walk and curb at the entrance were improved with a strikingly-designed ramp to make the building access easier. Other improvements have been put in place, too.

Last week, in this paper, Pinal County Supervisor Pete Rios wrote that the county plans to continue supporting the Free Saturday at the Kearny transfer station. He mentioned that the county would provide service every other month. That led to questions like, “Does this mean that the Town of Kearny is taking away the other Saturdays?” Well, on a happy note, the answer is that the usual schedule of the second Saturday of each month will continue. I know that the volunteers who make this service possible are glad for its continuance. This is an

integral way to keep our homes and businesses blightfree, along with the new monthly curbside pick up of yard waste by RAD Sanitation.

Now we can count the hours until Christmas comes. The folks at Good Shepherd Church in Kearny, who have a new pastor and are still working out service times, announce that regular Sunday worship will be at 9 a.m. with coffee hour and refreshments both before and after worship.

They also invite everyone to their 3:30 p.m. service of Lessons and Carols this Sunday, just before the sunset betokens the coming of Christmas Eve. The Light House Assembly of God is offering a series of Financial Peace University classes, with Carol DuBois and Amber Barton offering their leadership. The weeks courses begin on Thursday, January 18 at 6:30 p.m. and will end in March. This is a serious program, and has been very helpful to many people in handling their finances in a better way. There is a fee for this course, for this is much more than is offered by many so-called “financial helpers.”

Call Carol DuBois at (520) 591-1923 for more information.

Have a blessed Christmas, everyone.

Annie’s Mammoth Memories

n her memoirs, Annie Forbach said she had been born in 1891 along Aravaipa Creek where her parents, James and Caldonia Brandenburg, had settled just a few years previously. Annie was the youngest of her siblings who were James (Jim), William, May, and Robert, and before Annie was old enough to go to school, her mother moved to Mammoth, Arizona each Fall so May and Robert could attend school. They lived in a house that the family owned there, and their mother kept boarders who were men who worked at the mill there, as the mine was in full operation. Annie also said that Mammoth was a very busy town with lots of businesses, among them the general merchandise stores of Mr. E.E. Putman (who was also the Post Master) and E.W. Childs.

Annie stated that during her first year of school in Mammoth, there was an epidemic of diphtheria and an elderly Army doctor, Doctor Pool, took over the care of the sick people. After Annie’s sister, May, was married, Annie stayed with her sister and continued school in Mammoth which she stated was an “old type” mining town; that the Schultz, Collins, and Mohawk group of claims were being worked at the town of Schultz, five miles northwest of Mammoth; that the ore was sent by an aerial tramway in big iron buckets to the stamp mill in Mammoth; and that the gold was milled from the

ore and smelted into gold bars and shipped to Tucson where it was shipped to other markets.

Annie stated that after two sons had been born to her sister, May, her sister was glad to have Annie stay with her through the school year, and she helped with the housework and care of the children.. One errand for her sister that she disliked was having to go through town past three saloons to get yeast from a Chinese restaurant so her sister could make her bread. She said the saloon bartenders didn’t always look before they threw water out on the street or sidewalk, and there was always several Chinese men lounging about , some sleeping, and others smoking the long Chinese pipes with opium.

Make the gift buying experience for young kids easy, by keeping it simple

SAN MANUEL (December 2017) – Every year there’s a hot new toy that sells out and drives parents to race from store to store in search of the latest gadget or stuffed animal.

This year, make the gift buying experience for the youngest kids in your life easier.

When it comes to promoting learning for children 5 and younger, basic toys and quality time with adults are the best gifts an infant, toddler or preschooler can receive.

First Things First has compiled some suggested toys by age and stage that promote learning and language development.

Books are one of the best gifts for all ages. Daily reading has been shown to help young children develop language skills and increase vocabulary – both crucial if they are going to be good readers in the future.

Other good choices for different age groups include: For babies under 1 year old, focus on toys that stimulate curiosity. Babies are fascinated by their surroundings, especially faces and bright colors. They enjoy playing hideand-seek with different objects. Look for things such as: • board books • safe, chewable toys • toys with mirrors For toddlers between 1 and 3 years old look for toys that

encourage imagination and problem-solving such as: • pretend versions of everyday objects • balls to roll or catch • building-type toys, including fill and dump varieties.

• matching and sorting toys • large crayons or markers with plain paper • simple puzzles For preschoolers, which covers ages 3 to 5, look for toys that help them relate to each other and the world around them include: • dress-up clothes • simple board games • counting and letter games • sports equipment suitable to their size • musical instruments • art supplies such as play dough, safety scissors, glue, etc.

Another thing to keep in mind is that parents and family members talk the most to babies when they are engaging their child with books and traditional toys, rather than electronic toys that claim to promote language development. Young children learn through play, through experimenting with the world around them and through interaction with other kids and adults. The best toys are those that appeal to the way their minds work. Those toys

will get used most and will help children develop skills they will need to be successful once they enter school.

About First Things First – First Things First is a votercreated, statewide organization that funds early education and health programs to help kids be successful once they enter kindergarten. Decisions about how those funds are spent are made by local councils staffed by community volunteers. To learn more, visit FirstThingsFirst.org.

Dear Santa ...

As has happened in days of yore, children gathered in classes, at home, snuck a little private time and took their opportunity to reach out in thanks to Santa, and, in hope of delightful gifts under the tree come Christmas morning. He, in turn, shared with us some of the special local letters that touched his heart or really gave him reason to let out a hardy “Ho ho ho!” of laughter.

Now, even though Santa can read the heart as well, we have to rely on just our eyes, so where the pen was pressed lightly or the scanner shone too brightly, there may be words missing or misunderstood. Don’t let that distract you from the enjoyment of these sweet missives.

Hello Santa, My name is Andrew Granillo and I am 4 years old. For Christmas, I would really like PJ mask cars, go Power Ranger, Imaginex, transformer bumble bee and the flash action figure or t-shirt.

Six CopperArea football players named All-State

By Andrew Luberda Copper Area News A total of six football players from Superior, Ray and Hayden high schools were named to the 2017 Arizona Football Coaches Association 1A All-State Team.

Three members of the Ray football team – Dyllin Lopez, Fabian Valenzuela and Nathan Molar – earned honors.

“The awards of these three Seniors are made possible only by the ‘Total Team Contribution’ that was displayed on and off the field,” Ray head coach Frank Lechuga wrote in an email to Copper Basin News.

Continued on page 18

#56 Dyllin Sanders-Lopez was selected to the AZFCA and AIA All State 1st team – Defensive Line and also to the AZFCA DIV 1A Top 30. Dyllin was also selected DIV 1A East Defensive Player of the Year and led all of DIV 1A with 15.5 sacks for a total of 144 total yards lost; #25 Fabian Valenzuela was also selected to the AZFCA and AIA All State 1st team – Offensive Wide Receiver and also to the AZFCA DIV 1A Top 30. Fabian ended the season with Touchdowns in 6 of 7 categories ( 6-Passing, 7- Rushing, 4-Receiving, 1- Interception Return, 1- Punt Return and 2 Kick Return ) coming up short only in the Fumble Return Category.; #22 Nathan Molar was selected to the AZFCA and AIA All State 2nd Team – Defensive Linebacker. Nathan had a total of 80 tackles in which 30 of them were solo tackles that lead the team.

Nathan’s speed and agility allowed him to close in quickly on opposing ball carriers with a force “Second to None” on the Bearcats defense. The awards of these three Seniors are made possible only by the “Total Team Contribution” that was displayed on and off the field. On behalf of Assistant Coaches James Fessenden, Fred Cruz and Tomas Sublasky , we would like to thank Ray Schools and our Fans for their continued support. Congratulations, Bearcats, on a successful season!

Arizona looks to make a penny on copper industry

By Leah Gilchrist Arizona Sonora News Copper’s value is on the rise, and equipped with new mining technology, Arizona has a promising future in producing the nation’s copper.

The value of copper hit $3.20 in mid 2014, before taking a dive to $2.50 in early 2015. It took a significant dip into an all time low of $1.60 in 2016. Now, copper value is rising again, passing $3 for the first time since 2014, according to the NASDAQ stock exchange.

Arizona produces 65 percent of the nation’s copper, leading the copper industry in the U.S. As mining continues to become economically feasible, new mine sites have been proposed across the state.

New technology for mining had made the production process more sustainable after the U.S. Environmental Protection

Agency set the Clean Air Act into place in 1970 and the Clean Water Act in 1972.

“We better hope it’s very sustainable, because mining is in the foundation of society,” said Brad Ross, the Co-director of the Lowell Institute for Mineral Resources.

Ross said technology to pull copper from the ground is always changing and improving as new technology is created.

Copper has become a staple not only in its consumption, but also as a source for jobs and the economics of the state.

“We use the most up-to-date technology, and control on technology helps sustainability.” Ross said, describing methods modern technology used to keep environmental impact low.

Ross said technology developed for mining today helps keep dust down to keep the air clean, and keeps water clean through checking for water Continued on page 22

There are five proposed copper mining sites in Arizona, including the Resolution Copper Project, Rosemont Copper, Florence Copper, Gunnison Copper and Mineral Park Copper Mine on the way, according to Suzanne Kinney from the Arizona Mining Association.

Mining companies have faced the challenge statewide of producing copper without doing significant damage to the environment around the site.

Save the Scenic Santa Ritas is a non-profit organization, which assembled in 1996 to protect the scenic area on and around the Santa Rita mountains.

The proposed Rosemont mine has challenged the group because of the environmental impact it would have on the region.

the bedrock. The company is looking to tap into copper in the Historic Copper Corridor in Arizona.

The project is in permitting stages and will then enter a 1 to 2 year testing process.

“What makes us unique is we do this in-situ copper recovery,” said Stacy Gramazio, the Manager of Communications for Florence Copper.

The process will leave very little environmental damage when the mining wells are removed. The in-situ recovery method digs beneath the bedrock and injects a solution, which dissolves the copper and allows it to be pulled up through the ground.

This method will allow the company to recover 55 million pounds of copper a year the first six years of the project and 85 million pounds of copper a year the final 14 years of the project. The project is expected to Continued on page 23

Hartmann said the new mine would impact clean water, air quality, local economics and traffic.

The organization is against the proposed Rosemont mine, and has worked with members of the community to ensure education and awareness is spread on potential harm the project might cause.

“The damage is permanent.” Hartmann said, “We as human beings need to learn to coexist with our environment.”

Hartmann said Save the Scenic Santa Ritas is working to educate members of the surrounding communities of the harm mining can cause to the environment.

last around 25 years, following passing regulation and a testing period.

The Florence Copper Project is expected to create over 700 direct and indirect jobs in Arizona, with 480 jobs directly related to the mine. The Florence Copper Project is expected to bring a $3.4 billion in economic uplift to the state, with $2.1 billion economic uplift to Pinal County.

According to Kinney, the hard rock mining industry has created 31,800 jobs in the state, with 12,000 directly related to the mines. In 2014, mining brought a total economic impact of $4.29 billion.

While mining is deeply rooted in the history of Arizona, it won’t be returning to any of the historic mining boomtowns any time soon. The proposed mining sites are new sites built with new technology to pull untapped copper.

“There’s a very slim possibility,” said

Carrie Gustavson, the director of the Bisbee Mining and Historical Museum.

In many of the towns in the southeastern region that originally supported the state’s copper mining, there are now environmental reclamation processes taking place to recover the environment after years of practice that was not sustainable.

“There’s a huge difference between the mining we see now and the mining we saw 100 years ago.” Gustavson said.

Bisbee, home to the Copper Queen mine, was built on mining copper. The mine that served as the foundation of the town shut down in 1975, and is now used for tourism and education Leah Gilchrist is a reporter for Arizona Sonora News, a service from the School of Journalism with the University of Arizona.

GEORGIE Continued from page 6

Chinese restaurant from the dining area, with a glass jar in her hand in which to put the yeast, one of the men was coming through the door with a long carving knife as she started to enter. She ran home very frightened, and her sister got no yeast that day.

The next day she went to another restaurant owned by a Mrs. Boise who was one of her father’s customers for fruit and produce from the Brandenburgs’ Aravaipa Creek property.

Remembering how Mammoth was in my early years , and how it

now is, I wonder where those very early businesses, including saloons and restaurants, were located in Mammoth.
