By Cindy Tracy Superior High School students received numerous awards and rewards during the school year 2010-2011 now winding to a close. Their achievements were recognized at the May 5 Superior High Honors Assembly. Following a welcome by Superintendent/ Principal Pete Guzman and the Pledge of Allegiance led by Student Council President James Gonzales, some introductions took place. Topping the list of student introductions were those of 2010-2011 Valedictorian Monica Ochoa and Salutatorian Ryan Everhart. Student Council officers were recognized. These included President Gonzales, Vice President Martin Granillo,
Secretary Andrea Betancourt, Treasurer Julian Contreras, Parliamentarian James Roten and Publicist Yvette Gonzalez. Class Presidents Nicole Montoya (senior), Shayna Wickwire (junior), Mario Padilla (sophomore) and Ceasar Villalobos (freshman) were introduced. National Honor Society officers Christine Lopez (president), Eric Smith (vice president), Lorena Medrano (secretary) and Julian Contreras (treasurer) received recognition as well as members Jesse Aguilar, Sabrina Castillo, Jessica Castro, Simon Ochoa, Monica Ochoa, Jordan Romero and Shayna Wickwire. Presenters then stepped to the podium and give out scholarships and various
awards. Morgan Flanagan received a scholarship from Central Arizona College. Recognized for CAC’s Promise for the Future award were Andrea Betancourt, Ana Campos, Jessica Castro, Ryan Everhart, Morgan Flanagan, Chris Floyd, James Gonzales, Nicole Montoya, Monica Ochoa, Alex Romero, Gilbert Romero and James Roten.

Student names and their awards as listed in this story were provided by the school.)
Academic junior high achievement recognized at awards assembly By Cindy Tracy Excellence was rewarded with recognition May 3 at the Superior Junior High Awards Assembly held in the presence of school staff, friends and community members. Following the Pledge of Allegiance led by Student Council President Cierra Navarrette, Superintendent/ Principal Pete Guzman welcomed everyone to the assembly. He said the highly achieving junior high students being honored that night had “already figured out that good grades equal opportunity.”
Introduced were student council officers, including Navarrette, Secretary Lindsay Duarte and Treasurer Hunter Flanagan. Also recognized were Junior National Honor Society members Brianna Denogean (president), Lindsay Duarte (vice president), Cierra Navarrette (secretary) and Hunter Flanagan (treasurer). Receiving the Woodmen of the World History Award was Lindsay Duarte, the Bonnie Delbridge Memorial Math Award Hunter Flanagan and awards for perfect attendance Anthony Denogean and Ricardo Ochoa.
Achieving the honor roll one time were Tyler Allison, Maria Cruz-Basoco, Anthony Denogean, Corina Enriquez, Serrina Fuentes, Jose Lira, Kaya Rodriquez, Gabrielle Salcido, Cody Schcolnick, Phalicitee Thomas and Keana Torres.

(Student names and their awards as listed in this story were provided by the school.)
Parents advised to call superintendent about four-day school committee By Cindy Tracy A committee is being formed to consider the question of whether moving to a four-day per week school schedule would benefit Superior students and/or the school district as a whole. Superintendent Pete Guzman received the go-ahead May 4 from the district governing board to form
the committee. He said he would like the group to include teachers, parents and classified staff. Parents are encouraged to call Guzman if interested in participating in this committee or for more information. The committee’s mission would be not only to research four-day school and whether it would be good for the
General Election to decide council race is Tuesday

district but also to bring a plan back to the board for further consideration. Guzman stressed that the concept of four-day school in Superior did not mean students just went to school four days a week and were off on Fridays. He said he is talking about the possibility of enrichment programs on Fridays. To name a few, there could be arts and crafts for interested students, educational opportunities for all students, gifted and talented programs and more. He is thinking along the lines of the committee researching “a good plan to benefit our kids.” Board President Cynthia Benson said one thing the committee should be looking into is how those Fridays
could be used to augment the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) curriculum in the district. She said it is reasonable to plan but her concern is that “we look at data, not just anybody’s opinion” in considering this new type of schedule. She said planning efforts should include what kinds of things the district would be offering students on Fridays. “It is important that we plan,” she said. She said the whole week had to be valuable for students, including Fridays. During the discussion Guzman and board members mentioned the need
for data, public input, forums, etc. Guzman said that one of the concerns with a possible schedule change such as this would be longer work days for the staff. In his comments regarding the four-day schedule, he stressed how the opportunity to use the Friday for student enrichment programs was the rationale and the idea was not a budgetary measure. The notion of four-day school with Fridays being used for enrichment or other purposes is a growing one in the U.S. and in the local area as well. Proponents say it helps with budgetary concerns, improves teacher and student attendance and does not hamper student achievement.
Mobile Animal Surgical Hospital coming to Superior! By Cindy Tracy Remember the long running, classic TV show called MASH? For those too young to remember, “MASH” in that storyline was about a group of dedicated military surgeons who served their country and all human kind in a mobile army surgical hospital during the Korean War in the middle of the last century. In Superior, on May 26, 2011, there is another kind of MASH unit that
will start to serve the community in a different way. This MASH stands for “Mobile Animal Surgical Hospital.” The Mobile Animal Surgical Hospital provides access to low cost spay/neuter services in a variety of different locations. They offer vet services for private individuals and also work closely with many rescue groups in locations around central Arizona. This roster of animal rescue groups
now includes Superior Animal Rescue (SAR). SAR currently operates the town animal shelter and coordinates pet adoption services out of that shelter for animals housed there and fostered by volunteers in the area as well. “Superior Animal Rescue and MASH encourage spay/neuter for all pets,” according to information released by SAR and the Mobile Animal Surgical Hospital (MASH).
Wander the world without leaving home, local library launches travel themed summer reading program
John F. Kennedy students at all grade levels participated voluntarily in the school’s recent science fair held May 4. Principal Pete Guzman said he thought it was great that the majority of students made the decision to do a science project and take part in the event. Project encompassed everything from turning an ordinary egg into a bouncing egg to creating a dry ice crystal bubble and much more. (Cindy Tracy photo)
Critics cite possible longer working days for teachers and class days for students. These might result from districts having to lengthen Monday through Thursday to meet various state requirements for classroom instruction. Another concern could be parents who have to change their timetables or child care arrangements to accommodate their children’s fourday schedules. A number of school districts in the state of Arizona have either gone to a four-day schedule or have approved it for the future. These include Willcox, which is already on this kind of schedule, and Hayden-Winkelman, which recently voted it in for the 2011-2012 school year.
By Cindy Tracy Wishing you could take a trip to a far off destination this summer? Would you like to book a tour around the world, see new things, meet new people, and learn about other cultures? Well, it’s easy to do just that if, instead of heading for the travel agency to book a trip, you book on over to Superior Public Library and sign up for a great adventure. “Readers of all ages will travel the globe this summer as Superior Public Library presents ‘One World, Many
Stories’ during their summer reading program,’” Superior Public Library Director Josie Campos said recently. “Children will explore places from Oceania to Russia through stories, crafts, music, dance, and other fun activities,” she explained. “The 2011 Summer Reading Program is open to young people, preschool through young adult and new this year is a program for adults with programs, prize drawings, story hours, a reading club and more. Families are invited to join the Read-to-Me portion of the program.”
She said Superior Library is “proud” this year to offer a teen program for junior high and high school students. She said this is an important event at the library. The program will aim at encouraging area youth to read and enjoy the benefits the library offers over the summer. The theme for the teen program is: “YOU ARE HERE.” Campos said that reading throughout the summer benefits students. It also helps them retain skills learned during the school year. See Reading, Page 4
Prices for spay/neuter start at $35 for cats and $65 for dogs. Contact MASH for full details and to book appointments. The phone number for MASH is 480-656-4479. To book an appointment online, visit www. mashvet.net. SAR can be reached at 602-9999106, or carolatlarge@yahoo.com or 520-827-0886. The Mobile Animal Surgical Hospital does not spay or neuter any dog or cat more than five years of age because of possible complications that can arise in older dogs while under anesthesia. They also do not spay or neuter English Bulldogs.

Tribute
Emilio D. Palacio
Emilio D. Palacio, 79, passed peacefully at his home in Queen Valley among his family and friends on May 5, 2011. He is survived by his loving wife of 54 years, Carol; his children, Albert, Jerome, Elizabeth, Emilio Jr., Rosalena and Peter; siblings, Isabel, Fred, Rosalee and Pete; 16 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren. Emilio was a selfless entrepreneur and his unselfish capacity to help others will be greatly missed. We will miss his sharp and relentless sense of humor and his passionate love of practical jokes. He was very dedicated to his church, Life Restoration
Center, of Superior, Arizona and was always willing to guide others to a faith in the Lord. He was visited by hundreds of people who came from all over the USA during his short illness and had an amazing ability to remember names and faces. Thanks to all of you who called and visited. It meant a lot to him and his family.

Jury finds Superior resident guilty of drug charges
Editor, Superior Sun: I usually do not take political sides, when it comes to elections in our community; however I am today. I support the reelection of Lynn Heglie to the Town Council. Mr. Heglie has demonstrated and contributed his time and effort in improving the quality of life in Superior. Mr. Heglie came to our community years ago and his artist friends also followed. This sector of our community has contributed to bringing their touch of beauty to our community through their artwork, especially during the depressed time our community faced after the mine closure. The artist group has and continues to bring local annual festivals to our community, giving Superior a diverse environment other than mining. It is amazing that with the presence of the artist group, they help bring out the fact that our community had its own talented group of local
artists. Mr. Heglie was heavily involved in helping in beautification projects and always quick to volunteer to be part of these committees. Mr. Heglie has been supportive of the code enforcement process, in keeping our community healthy and safe for the present and the future. Lynn has been and is a true entrepreneur in our community. He has started several businesses, and, restored older homes in our town, always believing in Superior that one day our community would return back to the thriving days we longterm residents remember. Mr. Heglie has just not spoken words of hope but put actions behind those words with a lot of sweat and financial investments. Lynn has always said to me and I agree, “Superior is a great community and will thrive with or without the return of the mining industry.” He has
been not simply a Council Member but has fully taken the role with the responsibility it carries; he rarely misses any meetings or arrives late. Moreover, he is an activity Council Member, who gets involved in committees that are working to improve our community in every way. Ms. Peralta does support the recall against me and, I guess, has cleansed herself of accusations, which I consider not just against myself but against the town council. There is still a lot of work ahead for us and Lynn seeks these challenges with a positive attitude. No matter what the outcome of the election would be, Lynn Heglie will continue to pour his heart and soul into our community. Remember to vote Tuesday, May 17. The polling place is the St. Mary Center on Sunset Drive. /s/ Michael O. Hing Mayor of Superior
Editor, Superior Sun: I’ve read the recent letters supporting Lynn Heglie for reelection to Town Council and I also wish to offer my observations here. Lynn Heglie is a profound example of a first-class, quality leadership. And here’s the proof: • He is extremely bright and an excellent communicator, particularly in that most important part of positive communication, the lost art of listening. This is because he is humble enough to hear all our concerns, including from diverse personalities and interests. This means he then exercises good sound judgment in fair decision-making with responsible perspective. • When he first started on the Council, he arrived with an extensive knowledge of good leadership and great social skills. This means we didn’t have to wait for him to grow up. • He has the classic insight and experience to disagree without being disagreeable, keep his equilibrium and move forward to the best solutions. This means he’s the kind of person who sees the positive solution, and, the good in every problem, not the other way around. This quality, alone, is refreshing beyond belief. • In all the years I’ve associated with and watched Lynn Heglie,
I can honestly say I’ve never heard him make any derogatory or petty remarks about anyone, including behind their backs. This is because he is always building up, never tearing down. This means he doesn’t waste time blaming, finger pointing, sulking, resenting, composing and spreading fictionalized harmful gossip or engaging in one of Superior’s favorite pastimes: whining. He handles problems like an adult. • In his Council work, Lynn has offered viable programs, not weak excuses. His motivation is working for the good of the town. This means he is most capable of original thought and not sinking into the mentality of “this is how it has always been done here.” • Lynn Heglie demonstrates the rare and uncanny talent of a self-starter. Look at his businesses. Every one of them has been successful – each one a decent, clean and wholesome place, where we can feel good about taking our friends and families. This is because his businesses and properties are both respecting and respectful, a most important characteristic. This means our neighborhoods are safer and more attractive with decent standards because of the presence of these businesses and properties and the support he has shown to other businesses and properties. • Lynn’s properties have provided much needed, valuable, employment opportunities for many. This is because he personally created with imagination and hard work fine services and nice facilities with good products, none of which existed before Lynn took
action. This means even better services and facilities for our community to enjoy and a healthy, growing, local economy for our children to participate in. Since returning to Superior, I’ve deeply sorrowed over the pitiful condition of my town, akin, perhaps, to watching a once proud, strong, wonderful, noble animal, wounded, starving, helplessly suffering and dying. I’ve watched various Council members come and go and I say to you, without a doubt, Lynn Heglie is by far the most consistently, and, conspicuously, valuable member I and many others have observed. Try matching that statement to anyone. Lynn Heglie is a natural leader. He has demonstrated outstanding, positive, concrete results right in front of all of us to see. What Lynn Heglie does, works; and it works very well. This proves his results don’t lie and we must give him credit where credit is due. As a person to vote for, I judge Lynn Heglie’s actions by their consequences, and, other persons’ actions by their intentions. For our town, do we want real, constructive, positive leadership with demonstrably positive results of which we all are the beneficiaries? Then, vote May 17, re-elect Lynn Heglie to Town Council, and, watch our town, and, each of us, experience continued healing, progress, self respect, and, success. From our loving past, to our loving and promising future, Sincerely, /s/ Kathleen Porter
Editor, Superior Sun: I moved to Superior in 1994. Since 1999, I’ve owned and operated three eating establishments, all located on Main Street in downtown Superior. What I’ve witnessed in those 12 years is a remarkable transition in the downtown. I’ve been pleased to be
a part of this progress and believe I can take some small credit for it. I’ve been a member of the Superior Town Council, for eight years, and, hope to continue as an effective councilman. Thank you for your support. Vote May 17th! /s/ Lynn Heglie

Letter to the Editor: Re-elect Soyla “Kiki” Peralta Editor, Superior Sun: We have known Councilwoman Soyla Peralta most of our lives. To us, she is simply “Kiki.” She was born and raised in Superior and graduated from Superior High School. Kiki married her husband and raised three (3) children here. She is employed in the medical field and provides medical assistance to those in need in and around our community. Kiki is in a run-off election on May 17, 2011, against a fellow Councilman. We urge all of you to support her in the run-off and get her re-elected! We have heard her competitor and his supporters’ say that Kiki is against Resolution Copper Company. We can tell you from personal experience, that premise is untrue! We reviewed the council’s voting record on these issues. Kiki has never voted against any agenda item concerning Resolution Copper. In fact, it was Kiki that brought Mr. Salisbury and our Mayor to the table to sign the first Memorandum of
Understanding. She did raise some specific and important questions during review of the latest Mutual Benefits Agreement. She pushed to have Resolution Copper Company make a larger annual contribution to the Town for the benefit of its growth and development. We think that was a good idea since Rio Tinto (Resolution Copper’s parent company) posted approximately $5.8 billion dollars in profit in 2010. We agree that a company with that kind of backing should contribute more than a mere $100,000 a year to the Town of Superior. Maybe if Resolution Copper Company paid annual property taxes to our Town as other businesses here do, we would immediately be able to provide more and better services to the members of our community! We think it is the responsibility of a council person to act in the best interests of our Town and residents. Kiki strongly represents that goal. Her responsibility is to us. She has no vested interest in
keeping Resolution here as does her competitor and some of his supporters. Kiki does not have any real estate to rent to workers and families employed by Resolution Copper. Nor does she have a business that depends on Resolution workers’ patronage or company catering for survival. She is simply a home-town girl who wants the best for all of us as well as the special community in which she was born and raised. Kiki absolutely supports any company or business that provides jobs for the people in our community, contributes to our economy and sponsors our numerous charitable organizations. Now, get out and Vote for “Kiki” Peralta for Town Council! Sincerely, /s/ Ray & Molly Ramirez, Jr.

Editor, Superior Sun: We need to keep Soyla “Kiki” Peralta as our community representative on the Town Council. Kiki represents those of us who have grown up and lived most of our lives in Superior. Anytime that I have a question or concern, Kiki always takes time to listen to me. She explains the things I don’t understand or takes my valid concerns to the Council and staff. Kiki stands behind our culture and traditions. She understands how important our family and friends are and why issues with the Cemetery are so vital to our community. Recently, her brother was inducted into the Superior High School Hall of Fame. Even though he is not living
in Superior, he was honored because of what help he continually brings to our town. Like her brother, Kiki exemplifies so much of our past and mixes it into our current economic progress. It is great to plow ahead, but you need to keep the Town’s rich, unique history and understand the ups and downs that we have endured. Kiki has that strong combination of past and present to bring the community through our current, tough economic times to a brighter future. Please take the time to vote for Soyla “Kiki” Peralta on May 17, 2011, at St. Mary’s Center. Thank you, /s/ Eldefonso Duarte (Fonso)

Graduating from another high school?
By Cindy Tracy A special 7th of May rendition of Cinco de Mayo in downtown Superior on was a day for everyone to celebrate and enjoy Mexican culture, history, costume, music and dance. Attendees at the Superior Substance Abuse Coalition’s fourth annual Cinco de Mayo celebration enjoyed the drug and alcohol free event from 1 p.m. to 5 in the downtown food court and Besich Park area. On hand was DJ Roy Chavez and officials of the SSAC to keep things moving along during the day. Among the first to arrive were members of the Mariachi Colonial de Lupe Esparza who provided a lively accompaniment to the action around the booths where activities and information on various issues and services was available. Among these was a booth from the Superior Animal Rescue organization that operates the town shelter and adoption services. Volunteers from SAR had brought a cute young dog that needs a home. To inquire about adopting a dog or cat for your very own, contact Superior Animal Rescue President and Adoption Coordinator Carol Dodge at 602-999-9106. Superior Police Officer Ken Burnside and Police Service Dog Ajax were a popular attraction at the event. K-9 handler Burnside, assisted by Sergeant Larry Bartlett and Chris Tomerlin, who is a sergeant with the Superior Public Safety Explorers as well as a member of the town council, put on a canine demonstration. Tomerlin is also co-chair of the Superior Substance Abuse Coalition. In an exciting few moments, Ajax showed how he would “bite” Tomerlin if ordered to do so by the handler and instantly pull back if ordered. Tomerlin, wearing protection around his arm, seemed at ease with the orderly demo of how the dog would assist police if needed. Ajax also showed how when narcotics were placed in one of three metallic wheel-like objects and told to find the illegal substance, the dog quickly did so, to the appreciation of the audience. Burnside explained that the police dog was allowed a moment of quick play following the carrying out of these missions and that was the reward the animal sought. Araceli Bonner and Paul Licano gave a reading explaining the Cinco de Mayo holiday. Licano presented the reading in English and Bonner in Spanish. The festival had a queen and king who were chosen as essay winners in a competition for students of Superior Junior-Senior High School.

Reading
Continued from Page 1 “As part of our efforts to draw teens to the library,” she said, “we will be offering special incentives and prize drawings for those who participate.” New this year also is an adult summer reading program. Campos said that adults look forward to summer as much as children and teens. “They plan for time to relax, take vacations, and catch up on reading,” she said. “That makes summer a great time to offer special programming for adults. Adult summer reading programs can offer adults the opportunity to have fun, explore new interests and interact with other adults. It also offers a good model for children enrolled in summer reading programs.” The theme of the adult program is “NOVEL DESTINATIONS.” The name calls to mind a time for adults to read about dream vacations, exotic locales, exploring other countries and cultures, mysteries set in other countries, novels in translation, and so on, according to Campos. “Our global and travel theme for 2011 offers many opportunities to encourage adults to come to the library and to read,” she said. Registration for the 2011 summer reading programs is May 16-27. “Come to the library at 99 Kellner Avenue to register,” Campos said. “For more information, call the library at 520-689-2327 or visit our website, www.superiorpublib. wordpress.com.

Picket Fire near Superior evidence of fire risk FLORENCE – Pinal County Board of Supervisors’ Chairman Pete Rios said on Monday that the county is ready to provide support in fighting the Picket Fire as needed. “The Board of Supervisors is receiving regular updates on the status of the fire near Superior,” Chairman Rios said. “We are ready to offer any help that is needed at this time. I am hoping the winds will calm, allowing the crews from the San Carlos Indian Reservation, Apache Junction Fire and Queen Valley Fire to get the upper hand on the fire.” Rios added that he is grateful for the men and women who exhibit such bravery and commitment in fighting wildland fires. “It takes special training and incredible stamina to fight unpredictable wildland fires even in familiar terrain.” Pinal County’s Emergency Management Director, Lou
Miranda, said the fire is an urgent reminder to avoid campfires, fireworks and open burning. Effective in May, Pinal County initiated a burn ban and suspended the issuance of burn permits due to the increased risk of fire. “Low humidity, high winds and dry vegetation adds up to a significant fire danger,” Miranda stated. “This week, the State Forestry Division is issuing fire restrictions and I would urge everyone to check the Public Lands Information Center website for additional information. Also, I am urging everyone to put cigarettes out in ashtrays, extinguish fires immediately and avoid the use of fireworks. One small fire can get out of hand quickly, affecting our air quality, causing property damage and potentially affecting hundreds of lives. Wildfire risk is substantial, even in our desert environment.” The Public Lands
Information Center link is: http://publiclands.org/ explore/?plicstate=AZ Info on Fire The Picket Fire began May 8 at 11:40 a.m. near Boyce Thompson Arboretum. According to the information provided by State Land, approximately 1,200 acres was burned and the cause of the fire, unknown, is under investigation. Eighty-two personnel were on the ground battling the blaze with two Type 2 crews, five engines and one Type 3 helicopter. The cost to battle the blaze was estimated at $150,000. As of Monday at noon, the incident commander, John Johansen, reported that the fire had settled down with less wind. Crews were holding the existing lines and beginning mop-up. Highway 60 was closed until 7 p.m. Sunday from Florence Junction to Miami. The Arboretum remained closed on Monday.
