CAC students honored for academic successes
EASTERN PINAL COUNTY, Ariz. – Fifteen students will receive 17 degrees and certificates on Friday, May 13, during the 2011 Central Arizona College Aravaipa Campus commencement ceremony. The outdoor ceremony begins at 6:30 p.m. on the Aravaipa Campus which is located at 80440 East Aravaipa Road just off of Arizona State Highway 77 between Mammoth and Winkelman. Pete Guzman, Pinal County native and a highly-respective educator in the county, will serve as the commencement speaker, while Amanda Hughes and Aracelli Castañeda have been chosen as the student speakers for the ceremony. Castañeda is an All-Arizona Academic Third Team recipient. A 1969 graduate of Hayden High School, Guzman eventually earned his associate of arts degree in 1971 and his bachelor’s of arts degree in 1973. He later earned his master’s in education degree and his administration certificate from Northern Arizona University. Guzman worked for the Hayden-Winkelman District
as a teacher, coach, athletic director and principal. In 2001 he left the district to build the Cobre Valley Institute of Technology in Globe, from the ground up. The C.V.I.T. now has a membership of five local schools. In 2002, Guzman was named the superintendent in the Superior Unified School District. Today, he is superintendent of two school districts and is the principal of the John F. Kennedy Elementary School, Superior Junior High School and Superior High School. In 2007, Guzman was selected by the Arizona School Boards Association to receive the All-Arizona Superintendents Award. This summer, he and his wife Roberta, will celebrate 39 years of marriage. During the graduation ceremony, CAC students will don a variety of medallions, tassels, stoles and colors signifying their accomplishments in the classroom. Some students will graduate with honors after posting a minimum grade point average of 3.5, while several students will earn both a degree and
certificate. Students gold stoles are members of the Phi Theta Kappa International Honor Society, while students donning blue cords are members of the STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) program. Graduates wearing white tassels will receive associate of arts degrees, while gold tassels signify associate of science. Associate of business degree recipients sport drab tassels, associate of applied science students wear green, and those earning an associate of general studies degree don gray tassels. Students earning certificates have caps adorned with blue tassels. Female graduates at the Aravaipa Campus outnumber male graduates 12-3, with the oldest graduate crossing the outdoor stage at the age of 49 and the youngest graduate being 21. For the district, CAC will deliver 653 degrees and certificates to 616 students with 399 representing women. The oldest graduate is 71, while the youngest is just 17.

Annual horseshoe tourney to take different format, set for Saturday St. Bartholomew’s fiesta horseshoe tournament will take a different format this Saturday, at the Don Potter horseshoe arena, behind the church at Park and Main in San Manuel. A “blind draw” method of selecting teams will ensure some upsets and surprises according to tournament organizer Roberto Estrada. In a blind draw, individual names are put in a hat
and two person teams are put together by randomly drawing names. “Every year we get a pretty good field of competitors, including nationally ranked players, as well as the strongest local players. A blind draw will be sure to shake up any predictable results,” Estrada said. Individuals can sign up at 1 pm
with play scheduled to start at 2 p.m. The cost is $15 per player, with trophies going to the top five teams. The trophies were donated by local justice of the peace Arnold Estrada and five Superior Court judges, including presiding judge Carter Olson as well as Gilbert Figueroa, Kevin White, Steve McCarville and Rudy Georgini.

Editor, San Manuel Miner: For those Oracle residents with a couple of hours to spare this week, we invite you all to attend the Thursday, May 12, Town Hall Meeting at 6 p.m. at the Oracle Community Center (OCC) to get involved in a little positive urban planning for our town. The goal of the meeting is to start a four-week search to locate alternate sites for a tower that will improve Verizon Wireless cell phone coverage in Oracle - nothing more, nothing less... The purpose of this May 12 public meeting is NOT to select a site that evening for the proposed Verizon Wireless cell tower; rather it is an effort to invite landowners in Oracle to learn if their property is in the roughly rectangular area located inside the town core, and is a site that would be suitable engineering-wise for consideration by Verizon Wireless to lease for a tower installation. Over the next 4-5 weeks, we hope to solicit contacts from landowners who are comfortable having their property considered for such use. Pinnacle Consulting, Inc., the agent for Verizon Wireless in this cell tower installation effort in Oracle, will consider up to ten separate parcels for subsequent review by Verizon engineers. The top three alternate sites that the review concludes are the most viable, will then be presented to Oracle residents at the subsequent - and final - town meeting in the OCC in late June or early July, on a yet-undecided date. A little perspective might be helpful for everyone. The current business plan of Verizon Wireless includes improving their existing cell phone coverage in Oracle. To do this, the radio frequency (RF) wave engineering dictated a single cell phone tower in the central core of our town. In De-
cember, 2009, a low-key public meeting at the Oracle Inn revealed that a site had been selected atop the hilltop plateau just north of the Oracle Market. Many residents welcomed the service improvement, but thought the site selected was the product of a a poor decision. Last fall Pinnacle Consulting, Inc. submitted a special use permit request to Pinal County for permission to erect this tower. On January 20, 2011, the Pinal County Planning and Zoning Commission voted 5 to 2 to recommend the Pinal County Board of Supervisors ( BOS) deny this permit application. Remember: the P and Z Commission is an advisory body only; not a decision-making one. On February 8, 2011, Pinnacle Consulting, Inc. requested their permit application be withdrawn from consideration, prior to any final vote by the BOS. Today, two alternatives present themselves. First, if Oracle residents and

landowners participate cooperatively in this alternate tower site search, chances are good that an alternate site can be found. If this occurs, and the subsequent permit application survives through the Pinal County permitting process, and is approved, the original, and controversial - proposed tower north of the Oracle Market goes away. Second, if no viable alternate site is found, then Pinnacle Consulting, Inc. is free to re-submit their original special use permit for the Oracle Market site. Then it will be up to Oracle residents to fight this issue once again if they so choose, through recommending denial via the public participation process through the Planning and Development Department, before the P and Z Commission, and then the Board of Supervisors. Any questions, please call 896-2832. Thanks, /s/ Ross Hopkins

San Manuel woman takes steps to ensure a world without breast cancer; local resident commits to walk 60 miles in three days for the cause Sixty miles in one direction can take you many places, but, Judith Sharff, San Manuel resident, has joined thousands of breast cancer supporters in preparing for the 2011 Susan G. Kormen Phoenix 3-Day for the Cure, because 60 miles can take her closer to finding a cure. After months of training and fundraising, participants will walk 60 miles, during three days, to raise awareness, and, funds, for breast cancer research, and, community-based health and education programs. “This is my first year participating in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure.” said Sharff. “Through my participation in this event, I know I am making a personal impact on the breast cancer movement. The Komen 3-Day for the Cure is challenging, but, the opportunity to have an impact is enormous.” Sharff continued “As a colon cancer survivor, I am aware that I have a higher risk of breast cancer. Because of a genetic disorder that I have appeared to have passed on to my daughter, and, possibly, my granddaughters, I fear that they may, also, have a greater risk of breast cancer. I have two sister-in-laws, and, several good friends, who are breast cancer survivors. My reasons for walking in the 3-Day, 60 mile Race For the Cure is to show support for all who are breast cancer survivors, and, to raise money for the cure so that my daughter, and, my granddaughters won’t have to walk in a similar event.” Each walker is supported by coaches, and, online
assistance, aiding in all aspects of training,and, fundraising. Additionally, clinics, meetings, training walks, teams and buddy walkers provide ongoing encouragement. The Susan G. Komen Phoenix 3-Day for the Cure starts on Friday morning, Nov. 11,and, ends with the Closing Ceremony on Sunday afternoon, Nov. 13. Walkers cover about 20 miles a day, traveling at their own pace. Hundreds of volunteer crew members support the walkers through the threeday journey, providing meals, refreshments and snack stops, gear transport, hot showers, portable restrooms, safety on the streets and 24-hour medical services. The 3-Day for the Cure is the greatest distance you can go in the fight against breast cancer. Participants raise a minimum of $2,300, while education tens of thousands of people about breast health, with every step. Funds raised may impact breast cancer research, and, community-based health and education programs. The national series sponsors for the 3-Day for the Cure are Bank of America, and, New Balance. Nancy G. Brinker had made a promise to her dying sister, Susan G. Komen, that she would do everything in her power to end breast cancer forever. In 1982, that promise blossomed into Susan G. Komen for the Cure, and, launched the global breast cancer movement. Today, Komen for the Cure is the world’s
largest grassroots network of breast cancer survivors, and, activists, fighting to save lives, empower people, ensure quality care for all, and, energize science to find the cures. Thanks to events like the Race for the Cure and the 3-Day for the Cure, we have invested more than $1.9 billion to fulfill our promise,
becoming the largest source nonprofit funds dedicated to the fight against breast cancer, in the world. For more information about Susan G. Kormen for the Cure, breast health, or, breast cancer, visit www.komen.org, or, call 1-877 GO KOMEN. More than 1.4 million women will be diagnosed with breast
cancer, globally, each year. To help Sharff reach her goal by making a donation, or, joining her team, visit www. The3Day.org. To learn how to participate, more about the event on a national level, or, volunteer with the Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure, visit The3Day.org, or, call 800-996-3DAY.

Republican Women expand coupon project In January, the Republican Women of Pinal County began collecting coupons for the use of our armed forces in Germany. Since then over $4,000 worth of coupons have been clipped, sorted and sent to the Army Base in Grafenwoehr, Germany. Now, with the cooperation of Andrew Gregory, a retired US Army officer, and Manager of Sunbird Realty in the SaddleBrooke shopping center, anyone who would like to participate can easily leave coupons in a decorated box in the Sunbird office. The office is open every week day from 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. Food and nonfood coupons are needed. Each Sunday there about $125 worth of coupons in the paper. It is a shame to waste them. Instead, cut them out and leave them at the Sunbird office where they will be collected about every two weeks and sent on. Coupons are accepted at the commissary for up to six months past their printed expiration dates. The Overseas coupon Project was founded in December 1992 and helps military families stretch their grocery dollars while shopping in the commissary. In 2010 over $4,500,000 worth of coupons were sent to various bases around the world. For more information contact Barbara Treick 825-4677 or btreick@wbhsi.net.

San Manuel Miners eliminated by Morenci 0-9 from state playoffs By Frank Smith The San Manuel Miners varsity baseball team qualified for the 2A State Playoffs which began on May 3. San Manuel entered the tournament as the #18 seed and faced Morenci the #15 seed at Tempe Diablo Stadium in Tempe. The Miners were eliminated from the playoffs in the first round of the tournament losing to the Wildcats 0-9. San Manuel could not make ground on Morenci once they built a 1 – 0 lead in the first inning. The Miners threatened to score in the top of the first inning with a runner on third base but the runner was left stranded. Morenci added two more runs in the bottom of the
third inning to up the lead to 3 – 0. The Miners again had runners in scoring position in the top half of the third but failed to bring them home. The Wildcats exploded for a big inning in the bottom of the fifth pushing five runs across the plate to extend the lead to 8 – 0. Morenci scored one more run in the sixth inning to bring the score and the final to 9 – 0. The Miners could not answer the call taking the loss and the early exit from the playoffs; San Manuel finished the season with an 11 – 10 overall record and a spot in the state tournament. The Miners scored no runs on
four hits and committed one error; the Wildcats scored nine runs on 11 hits and committed one error. On the mound for the Miners were Elfie Vigil and Demetrious Dietz with Trent Brown catching. Vigil (6-5) took the loss allowing eight hits – three for doubles, eight runs – eight earned, struck out two and walked four batters. Offensively, Alexander Smith went 1 for 3, Elfie Vigil went 1 for 3, Daniel Padilla went 1 for 3, and Anthony Garcia went 1 for 3. Head Coach Donnie Payne said, “Hats off to the Morenci team! They hit the ball hard and often. We gave it all we had!”

By Frank Smith The San Manuel varsity softball team took part in the 2A state playoff on May 6 and 7 at Rose Mofford Softball Complex in Phoenix, dropping the #20 seed Miami 10-0 on Friday and losing to the #4 seed Willcox 4 - 6 on Saturday. The Lady Miners had no trouble with the Lady Vandals from Miami sending them home early with a 10 – 0 loss in four innings as San Manuel had faced them earlier with nearly the same results ending with a Lady Miners’ victory. In the circle was Brittney LeGrand with Jessica Castro catching. LeGrand threw to 15 batters striking out nine, and allowing no walks. She almost had a perfect game had it not been for an error. The Lady Miners went to bat 30 times collecting 10 runs on seven hits, no walks, and striking out six times. Offensively, Jessica Castro went 2 for 4 with singles, and two RBIs; Noelle Medina went 1 for 1 with a homerun, two RBIs, and two walks; Arianna Castaneda went 1 for 3 with a single; and Brittney Smith went 2 for 3 with two singles, a stolen base, and one RBI. The win would send the Lady Miners into the second round and set up a re-match from the beginning of the season when San Manuel faced Willcox in the Wickenburg tournament losing by a couple runs. This time Willcox was the #4 seed in the state tournament taking down the Lady Miners 6 – 4 and eliminating San Manuel from the tournament. In the first inning, San Manuel gave up three runs on errors giving Willcox the edge 3 – 0 to start off the game, and then LeGrand settled in striking three batters in a row to retire the side. The Lady Miners came up to bat in the top of the second inning, the first two batters got out, leaving the seven, eight, and nine hitters to contend with two outs. Merina Sandoval struck out but advanced to first base on the past ball; designated hitter Justeen Valdez hit a double to centerfield advancing Sandoval to third base; Brittney Smith dropped a bunt beating out the throw at first and picking up the RBI for a 1 – 3 Willcox lead. The next batter flied out to left field to end the inning. LeGrand caught fire in the bottom of the second inning, striking out another three batters in a row for her sixth straight strikeout to end the inning. The Cowgirls pushed across another run in the bottom of the fourth inning to extend the lead to 4 – 1 and scored two more runs in the bottom of the fifth to up the lead to 6 – 1. The Lady Miners scored one run in the top of the sixth with Noelle Medina starting off the inning with a triple down the left field line, Jessica Castro then came up to bat hitting a double driving in Medina for the RBI to cut into the lead at 2 – 6. Willcox was held scoreless in the bottom half of the sixth inning. San Manuel would have its last bats in the top of the seventh inning putting forth a great effort to rally for two runs. Valdez came to bat hitting a triple. Smith came up to bat once again dropping the bunt and beating out the throw bringing in Valdez for the RBI. LeGrand came up to bat and Smith stole second base setting
up in scoring position. LeGrand grounded out to the third basemen advancing Smith to third. Emmy Lou Clark stepped up to the plate hitting a double driving in Smith for the RBI to bring the score to 4 – 6. Willcox held the lead. Medina was walked, and Castro hit a line drive to the short stopdoubling up Medina for the third out and the game. Head Coach Deanne Brewer said, “It was a tough game for us. We literally beat ourselves. Again, errors haunted us making it difficult to close the gap. The Cowgirls went to the plate 26 times, earning only two hits, while LeGrand retired 11 batters with strikeouts. We committed nine errors - five of the runs that they scored got on by errors. The other run that scored was also by error - she actually got on with a double.” The Lady Miners went to the plate 30 times scoring four runs on seven hits, and one walk. The ladies struck out five times and three of the four runs were earned. Offensively, EmmyLou Clark went 1 for 4 with a single and one RBI; Noelle Medina went 1 for 3 with a triple and a walk; Jessica Castro went 2 for 4 with singles and one RBI; Justeen Valdez went 2 for 3 with singles; and Brittney Smith went 2 for 3 with two singles, a stolen base, and two RBIs. Coach Brewer said, “We had a good season. I think we struggled more defensively than we have over the past several years. We beat ourselves more this year than we allowed other teams to
beat us. It seems like we couldn’t find a balance with our hitting/ defense. When we hit well, we didn’t commit a lot of errors, when we had a lot of errors, our hitting seemed to be a problem. We were in our own heads too
much! “But overall, we did a good job. We ended our season #2 in our conference behind Pusch Ridge. I really had a great group of kids and will absolutely miss the seniors... all nine of them.
Lady Miners drop Miami, lose to Willcox in 2A state playoffs Needless to say, we have a lot of work ahead of us next year!!!
I’m looking forward to the challenge.”

Check it Out: Library volunteers recommend their ‘Favorite Reads’ By Suzan Austin THANKS TO ALL those who gave us their opinions and comments earlier this year on our library survey. We wanted to know how well we were meeting your needs and what we might do to improve our service to you. Interestingly, of the one hundred-plus forms returned, a majority asked for “reading recommendations.” So, our volunteers are sharing their favorite titles -- some new, some old, and all available for perusal and check-out. PAULY recommends the latest page-turner by Lis Weihl, Heart of Ice: a Triple Threat Novel. Whether you’ve read her previous books or not, you won’t be able to put this one down. LAURA recommends Prayers for Sale by Sandra Dallas (current Library Book Club selection), a story of the friendship between two women in a Depression-era Colorado mining town. VERNA recommends J. A. Jance’s Fatal Error, the newest Ali Reynolds novel set in Sedona. MARION AND BILL recommend NY Times columnist David Brooks’ The Social Animal, a fascinating look at how human beings and communities succeed. For science fiction aficionados, MARK recommends A Mighty Fortress, which is the fourth in David Weber’s The Safehold Series. KATHLEEN recommends FDR’s Deadly Secret by Steven Lomazow M.D. and Eric Fettman. They challenge the accepted cause of FDR’s death and present a thought-provoking case about a disease then discussed only in whispers. SUZAN recommends Bliss Remembered by Frank DeFord. Set around the 1936 Olympics and swimming hopeful Sidney Stringfellow’s poignant love affair, the book slowly reveals her secrets in a series of conversations with her son. All the volunteers recommend Michael Connelly’s latest Mickey Haller (The Lincoln Lawyer) novel entitled The Fifth Witness. YOUR OWN RECOMMENDATIONS to other library patrons are welcome, too. Post the title and author on the board attached to the back door (next to the new-books shelves.) BOOK SALE BONANZA. Our spring book sale last month was a record-breaker! We sold more books than ever. Which means our booksale cupboards are nearly bare. Which means we need donations of many books in advance of our fall book sale. Clean those shelves, bring ‘em in.

The Rammed Earth home of Quentin Branch and Julie Szekely was the site of a classical music recital by a child prodigy. The proud grandparents hosted the afternoon program where their talented grandson, Cameron Williams, performed the music of Bach, Haydn, Mozart, Chopin, Liszt and Edvard Grieg. Cameron is a very talented pianist. The Tucson Symphony Orchestra has performed one of his compositions. He recently placed second in the 2011 Fountain Hills Cultural Association’s statewide competition even though he was the youngest competitor. Donations for the recital and the sales of CDs of Cameron performing went towards defraying costs for Cameron to attend the Interlochen Center for the Arts Summer Music Camp. After the summer he will be attending the International Institute of Music at the University of Kansas. Cameron is passionate about his music and it showed in his performance. The audience enjoyed a relaxing afternoon of beautiful music. Go online to www.copperarea.com to see a sampling of Cameron’s music. (John Hernandez photo)
County warns restaurant/ bar owners to beware of ‘imposter inspectors’ FLORENCE – Pinal County’s Environmental Health department is warning restaurant and bar owners that potential scam artists are making threatening phone calls to area bars and restaurants claiming to be health inspectors. The ‘imposter inspectors’ who are making these phone calls are sometimes demanding money or threatening to shut down the business. “We do not announce our inspections in advance, all of our inspectors carry identification and in no case would we threaten to shut down a restaurant over the phone,” Reg Glos, Director of Pinal County Environmental Health. “This appears to be a scam and, according to my colleagues in other jurisdictions, it is not unique to Pinal County. So far, we have received enough calls about this to merit an advisory to food service establishments in Pinal County.” Restaurant inspections are routine and unannounced, Glos said. The only time a restaurant would know of an inspection in advance is if corrective action is required and a re-inspection is set. “Sometimes we find things that need to be corrected immediately, such as food stored at an improper temperature. Other times, restaurants are given time to correct the violations and a reinspection is scheduled,” Glos explained. Here are some points to keep in mind about Pinal County Environmental Health inspectors: * They carry County identification and business cards, * They do not charge money or collect fees during a random inspection, * Inspectors do not accept tips, gifts or other compensation. “This scam preys on the fears of bar and restaurant owners who worry about their livelihood, so this is particularly disturbing to hear about,” Glos said. If someone receives one of these calls, Pinal County Environmental Health recommends that the recipient take down as much

She has currently made plans to place this child for adoption through Christian Family Care Agency, 3603 North 7th Avenue, Phoenix, Arizona 85013. The telephone number is (602) 234-1935. 2. Under Arizona law, Arizona Revise Statutes §8-106 and 8-107, you have the right, as a potential biological birth father of this child, to consent to the proposed adoption. You also have the right to withhold your consent to the proposed adoption. 3. If you give your consent to the adoption, your consent is irrevocable once you give it. 4. If you are not in agreement with the adoption plan, and want to withhold your consent to the adoption, you have thirty days (30) from the date that this notice is served upon you to complete both of the following: a. You must initiate paternity proceedings under Arizona Revised Statutes, Title 25, Chapter 6, Article 1. b. You must have the mother served with the paternity paperwork in compliance with Arizona Revised Statutes, Rules of Civil Procedure, Rule 4.1. 5. If you initiate paternity proceedings, you are obligated to proceed to judgment. 6. Should you establish paternity, you would have a right to seek custody of the child. 7. It is your responsibility to provide financial support for the child if paternity is established. If paternity is not established until after the child is born, you may be responsible for past support. (A.R.S. §25-809(A)). 8. Failure to file a paternity action within thirty days of completion of the service of this Notice pursuant to Title 25, Chapter 6, Article 1 of the Arizona Revised Statutes and to serve the mother with paternity paperwork within 30 days of completion of service of this notice upon you and to pursue the action to judgment bars you from bringing or maintaining any action to assert any interest in the child. 9. Your failure to file a paternity action within thirty days also constitutes a legal ground for the termination of any parent-child relationship that may exist between you and the child. A.R.S. §8-533(B)(5). 10. You may wish to consult with an attorney to assist you in initiating a paternity action, or determining what course of action you wish to take in response to this Notice. 11. The Indian Child Welfare Act may supersede the Arizona Revised Statutes regarding an adoption and paternity. THIS IS A LEGAL NOTICE. IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE MEANING OF THIS NOTICE YOU SHOULD IMMEDIATELY CONTACT AN ATTORNEY. YOUR RIGHT TO PARENT YOUR CHILD WILL BE LOST IF YOU DO NOT ACT TO EXTABLISH YOUR PATERNITY WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS. NO FURTHER NOTICE WILL BE GIVEN 4/27, 5/4, 5/11, 5/18/11 CNS-2085410# SAN MANUEL MINER

Velasquez couple to celebrate 50 years together Saturday Richard and Esther Velasquez will be celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary on Saturday, May 14. They met in 1953, in Nogales, when they were both 15 years old. He was in high school, and, she was attending classes to learn English. Everyday, when she would walk to class, he would be waiting to see if she would talk to him. After many months, Esther finally did and they became friends. Richard enlisted in the Army in 1958. They continued writing to each other and kept in contact. He served for three years, stationed in Korea then moved to Tucson. He began working at Magma Copper Company in May 1960. A year later, on May 14, 1961, Richard and Esther were married at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Nogales. They lived in Tucson for one year, before moving to San Manuel, where they have resided ever since. Richard retired from BHP Copper Company in May 1997, after 37 years. During this time, Esther stayed home to help raise the family. Her children always knew that when they came home, she would be there for them. She was and always will be the heart of their home. They were blessed with five children: Richard (Sofia) Jr., Gabriel (Trish), Annie (Carlos), Louie (Michelle) and Fernando; 16 grandchildren: Ricky (Jessica), Ray Jr., Mark, Ruben, A.J., Jessica, Carlos, Ariana, Alicia, Julia, Eric, Michael, Gabriel, Christian, Alex and Nicolas; and two great-grandchildren: Sabastian and Janae. We’ve all been blessed by your love, and, support. We love you very much, and, wish you a very happy 50th anniversary! Thank you, Mom and Dad, for giving us the gift of family!
