The Arizona Department of Transportation has begun constructing sidewalks along State Route 77 in Mammoth from Old Highway 77 to Copper Street. The project will consist of adding curbs, gutters, sidewalks, pedestrian lighting, pipe extensions and other improvements along SR 77. The project in anticipated to be completed by fall 2011. What to expect during construction: • Crews will work Monday through Friday from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. • Work will take place on the shoulders of the road. • Speed will be reduced to

25 m.p.h. in the construction zone. • Drivers should proceed through the work zone with caution, slow down and be alert for construction equipment and personnel. The reduction of speed may cause delays. Motorists in the surrounding communities, including those commuting between Tucson and Globe, should allow extra time for travel. The construction project schedule is subject to change due to a variety of reasons, including weather, material See Sidewalks, Page 8

Graduating CAC-Aravaipa students reap reward of student success, hard work and dedication

Celebration ... A graduate offers a huge smile after receiving his diploma at Friday’s commencement exercises at the CAC Aravaipa campus. (Jennifer Carnes photo)

By Cindy Tracy An inspiring outdoor ceremony celebrating success and moving forward in life through education took place at Central Arizona College’s Aravaipa campus May 13. Shortly before the 6:30 p.m. graduation for 2011 on the campus, 15 capped and gowned students marched in step to the strains of Pomp and Circumstance and took their places in a special section of chairs on the lawn. These students, representing a wide variety of age groups, received a total of 17 degrees and certificates that night. Zachary Seth Bingham, Angela C. Bruner, Christopher E. Carrillo, Aracelli Castaneda, Maria G. Garcia, Amanda A. Hughes, Samajia Rianne Perez, John C. Prahl, Kari K. Ramsey and Yvette Leigh Trinité-Boulier each earned an associate degree. Garcia, Hughes and Ramsey graduated with honors, meaning their grade point average was 3.5 or above. Garcia and Prahl each received a certificate as well. Certificates were also received by Tracy A. Alvarez, Kelly Rene Fletcher and Sherene M. Ruiz. Guest speaker at the commencement was Pinal County native Pete Guzman. Holding Associate and Bachelor of Arts degrees as well as a Master’s in Education and an administration certificate, he has been a teacher, coach, athletic director, principal and superintendent during his long career in education. He is currently superintendent in the Superior Unified School District and Cobre Valley Institute of Technology District, which he is credited with building “from the ground up.” He also is principal of Superior High School, Superior Junior High School and John F. Kennedy Elementary in Superior.

Wearing all these educational hats, Guzman told the graduates how honored he was to be there because 40 years ago he proudly sat where they sat now. “I truly understand the pressures, sacrifices you had to make to bring you to this proud moment tonight,” he said. The graduates’ journey to continued success goes on, he reminded them. “After 38 years as an educator, my journey is almost over,” he said. “For you the journey continues.” Time moves in the blink of an eye, he told the graduates. “So when opportunity comes, be ready for it. Don’t be afraid to go and grab it.” He told the graduates that possibly at that very moment they were thinking about their next move past graduation or next opportunity for success. So he decided to talk to them about the word “success.” He quoted the iconic auto manufacturer Henry Ford. The auto mogul once said that “some people succeed because they are destined to, but most people succeed because they are determined to.” Guzman said he chose the topic of success because the students had already achieved success by being members of the graduating class. And success, regardless of how they define it, is also something the graduates can strive for all of their lives. “No matter what the job you have or the amount of education you have or wish to get, success in doing it is the underlying factor,” he said. He said that personally he sees four keys captured in the word “success.” These are competence, values, teaching and responsibility. Each member of the graduating class is competent or they would not be there, he said. Values are needed See Graduation, Page 4

all know what day Stargate SG-1 used to be on the Sci-Fi Channel, as well as what day is generally chosen for a marathon of shows, don’t we? Bless our geeky little hearts: we do! Armed with this fact, the question becomes not “if” but “why”, as in, “Why, oh why,

are science buffs, of all sorts, so drawn to Thursday?” If you, too, would like to know the answer, perhaps you’ll find it, or at least a good researcher, at the Thursday, May 19, Mammoth Elementary School STEM students display of science projects at the Central Arizona

Mammoth STEM, Mountain Vista plan science fairs for Thursday There are two science-based student events planned for Thursday, May 19, which you will not want to miss. Come and see what these kids have been working on, marvel at their intelligence, ingenuity and training, and enjoy the beaming parents standing proudly nearby.

Statistically, Thursday is the favorite day of scientists, science geeks and fans and all persons interested in science to prefer to display their exhibits, meet at their meetings and, of course, watch their Sci-Fi. This is a fact which can quickly be proven to be beyond theory, with a quick

trip to onto the Net, including a visit to Google and the hastily typed words “Thursday Science” (without quotations), being researched. Thursday Science Cafes, Science Thursday Broadcasts, Thursday Science Puzzles are right there on the front search page; and, of course, we

Manuel (near the cafeteria on the high school campus) on June 1, 15 and 29 between 6 and 8 p.m. to sign up for this oversized bit of excitement. And then on July 16, experience the gigantic fun of

the Mammoth-San Manuel Community Schools BIG Talent Show. Come show off your enormous talent to a hugely appreciating audience of more than Mammoth proportions.

College, in the Aravaipa Campus cafeteria from 1 to 2:30 p.m. Or, if not, surely some budding young scientist, meeting at 5 p.m., in the gym, for Mountain Vista’s Science Fair, will have some clue. Until proper research is accorded this phenomenon, it remains a mystery; but, what is not a mystery is where to go, to have a good time with a science bent or what’s the best day in which to do it. Live Long and Prosper.

Tributes Darryl Stanford July 2, 1960 – May 15, 2011

Born July 2, 1960, in Homestead, Florida, to Edith and David Stanford, Darryl Gene Stanford, age 50, passed away at Oro Valley Hospital on Sunday, May 15, 2011. He was a loving husband, father, brother, uncle and grandfather. He worked as a handyman and a fix-it man for the TriCommunity. He gave hope to the young men in his life by teaching them skills to help provide a better lifestyle. He was famous for deep-frying turkeys during the holidays, a great family tradition that will live on with us. If anyone ever needed help, without questions, he would be there to lend a hand. As a grandfather, he was the best: always taking his grandkids camping, boating, fishing; and, of course, movie night. He was a good man, with a big heart, and will be deeply missed. Survivors include his wife, Betty; sons, Darryl (Amber) Stanford Jr. and Andrew (Heather) Stanford; grandchildren, Rhiannon Morneweg, Angela Stanford, Julien Stanford, Lilly Stanford and Anthony Stanford; brother, John (Charlene) Stanford;

Darryl Stanford sisters, Peggy (Richard) Moss and Sherry (Chuck) Kesselring; and many nieces and nephews. He is preceded in death by his parents; brothers, J.D. Stanford, John David Stanford, and, James Stanford. Revelation 21:4 (KJV): And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. A memorial service will be held at the San Manuel Elks Lodge on Saturday, May 21, at 10 a.m. In lieu of flowers, donations can be given to the family to help with funeral services.

Sean Xavier Sloan May 22, 1964 – May 9, 2011

Sean Xavier Sloan passed away at his home in Anchorage, Alaska on May 9, 2011. He was born in Houston, Texas, on May 22, 1964, the first and only son of Bob and Margaret Sloan who shortly thereafter moved to Alaska but are currently living in Mammoth. Sean grew up in the Matanuska-Susitna Valley with his three sisters and his parents and attended school in Palmer. His younger years were divided between school, the chores necessary in a family who lived, in part, off the land, and, in exploration of Pioneer Peak and the surrounding countryside. He loved to climb the mountains, swim in the lakes, go on walks through the woods and play in the snow. Also, for a time, he enjoyed playing clarinet in band class,

at Sherrod Elementary. Sean had a lively and varied employment history, including a brief stint as a runway model as a teenager, fast food and construction but he had two jobs that he was truly proud of. The first, which he started in his teen years, was at the Anchorage Times, which he was very good at, earning consistent praise from his supervisors and which he would have gladly stayed at and progressed in, if it was not for the newspaper folding. He saw to his duties through the transition as its operation was taken over by the Daily News, and, then went on to various other pursuits until, finally, he found himself employed at the Second Chance Thrift Store on Spenard, in Anchorage, which he loved from the friendship he had with his employer, to

the conflict with other nearby businesses who sought to shut the place down, to simple pride in work well done. When one could catch him, Sean would bend your ear with tales of dog mushers, tourists and others who would come by looking to be outfitted for their various expeditions and detail with obvious pride how he could help them determine what they really needed, their amazement when they found the store had what they needed and in the proper size and how he got them on their way for a price that left them smiling. For him, it was, truly, not just a job but an adventure and a little slice of home. He is preceded in death by his nephew, Michael Mumphry; maternal and paternal grandparents; Aunt Loretta;

and, his two friends, whom he thought of as brothers, Sam Maus and Kirk Momartz. He is survived by his ex-wife Diana Sloan, whom he married twice and, afterward, maintained a close friendship with; three children, Andrew, Tiffany and Braden; his granddaughters, Glacia and Honey Jade; parents, Bob and Margaret Sloan; sisters, Letha, Roberta and Arletta; and nieces, nephews, various other relatives and friends. Sean is remembered best for his kindness, perverse wit, and, quiet humor. His family will be holding a private memorial service for him in Alaska, the plans for which are still pending and a public memorial group on Facebook, In Memory of Sean, for those family and friends who have moved and are unable to attend.

Letter to the Editor: Progress made on Verizon issue Editor, San Manuel Miner: The Thursday, May12, meeting at the Oracle Community Center to start a grass-roots process to locate alternate cell tower sites for consideration by Verizon Wireless was attended by about 45 persons and lasted about 1-1/2 hours. A brief review of the subsequent timeline of the original December, 2009 Verizon Wireless tower installation proposal began the program. Pinal County District One Supervisor Pete Rios followed with a “facts of life” discussion on how limited the decisionmaking powers are of local government leadership, to deny the special use permit for such an installation. To put it as diplomatically as possible, lobbyists and representatives of the telecommunications industry played a significant part in crafting the legislation that allows the FCC to regulate this industry in the USA today. Supervisor Rios made it very clear that denial of a cell tower install in Pinal County had to be on narrow and concrete grounds, and even a permit denial was subject to possible legal action ( and reversal) by telecommunications industry representatives.

Battalion Chief Larry Southard, and OFD Chief Albert Ortiz presented the case for the Department, explaining that an improved and dependable emergency communications system was badly needed, if they were to be able to provide the swift and responsive fire suppression and EMS roles that citizens of Oracle have come to expect from themselves and their staff. Finally, Chad Ward and Ben Feldman, of Pinnacle Consulting, Inc., agent for Verizon Wireless in this Oracle cell tower installation project, explained the criteria that is needed to locate, construct, and service a viable tower installation site that would provide enhanced coverage in the center of Oracle. General industrywide standards for tower site lease terms offered to private landowners by telecomm companies was also covered. Following these presentations, the meeting was thrown open to an extended question-and -answer session from those Oracle residents in attendance. There were only a few questions that could not be answered during the meeting. As promised, written notes were taken during the meeting, and answers to these questions will be forthcoming from Verizon Wireless, and/or Pinnacle Consulting, Inc., and will be made available via either letters-to-the-editor in the Miner, and via e-mail to those interested. This will occur when these answers are received.

Since the meeting last Thursday evening (May 12), and this week’s Miner press deadline (Monday, May 16), five landowners have indicated an interest in having lands considered for an alternate tower. As the search process now stands, interested Oracle landowners have a threeweek window (from May 19 to June 9) to contact us, and indicate a desire to have lands considered. Should a total of ten sites be offered up before this three-week window closes, we will close down the search period early, and forward the necessary parcel information to

Pinnacle Consulting, Inc., so the ten sites can be rated and ranked by Verizon Wireless engineers for their suitability engineeringwise, to provide enhanced cell coverage. When this process has concluded, and the top three sites selected by Verizon, this information will be presented at a second, and final Oracle Town Hall meeting at the Oracle Community Center. Stay tuned. If you have any questions, or have a land parcel that you wish to offer up for consideration, please call 896-2832. Thank you, /s/ Ross Hopkins

Stay healthy in Oracle with the Sun Life Family Health Center By John Hernandez You don’t have to go far from home to find quality health care in Oracle. With offices in Oracle and nearby San Manuel, Sun Life Family Health Care Center is a great alternative to driving to Tucson for medical care. Dr. Ted Crawford is an Associate Medical Director for Sun Life Family Health Center in Pinal County. He is also the D.O. for the Oracle Sun Life Family Health Center. Dr. Crawford received his Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree from the University of Osteopathic

Medicine and Surgery in Des Moines, Iowa. His post graduate training and internship were completed while serving our country in the United States Air Force. He was stationed at Keesler Air Force Base, Mississippi where he was Officer in charge of the Department of Primary Care. Dr. Crawford moved to Arizona in 1988. In 1990 he started working at the TMC Clinic in San Manuel (currently the San Manuel Sun Life Family Health Center). When the mine closed he started his own practice in northwest Tucson. In 2007 he

rejoined the Sun Life Family Health Center team. Ruth Seppala, FNP-C was born and raised in Tucson. She is a graduate of Canyon Del Oro High School and received her Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Arizona in 1977. In 2001 she received her Master of Science degrees in Nursing – Family Nurse Practitioners. She worked with Dr. Crawford from 2001 until 2007. She rejoined him as the Family Nurse Practitioner at the Oracle Sun Life Family Health Center in September of 2010. She is married with two

children and enjoys outdoor activities. Both Dr. Crawford and FNP Seppala say that they place a lot of emphasis in prevention. “We stress to our patients the importance of diet, exercise and not smoking in preventing chronic medical problems,” the duo said. “We also have a holistic approach to medicine. We are open to alternative methods and treatments for our patients.” They said that some of the more prevalent medical problems that they see in this area are high blood pressure, diabetes and obesity.

“Obesity goes hand in hand with both diseases,” said Dr. Crawford. Sun Life works with people that do not have medical insurance by providing discounts and setting up payment plans. Dr. Crawford urges the public not to go to emergency rooms unless it is an emergency. “If you are sick, we offer same day appointments and walk-ins at our Oracle and San Manuel offices,” he said. The Oracle Sun Life Family Health Center provides affordable, accessible, quality medical services. Their family health care includes diagnosis and treatment of minor and major illnesses; well-child examinations and immunizations; patient education, referral and follow

up care; lab specimens can be drawn and you can conveniently pick up your medications at the Oracle office by using their pharmacy services. With the price of gas these days, why drive to Tucson when you can get quality medical services locally at the Sun Life Family Health Centers in Oracle and San Manuel. Al Gutierrez, Eastern Pinal County Regional Manager said, “I am excited and proud of the quality of medical services Sun Life is providing for people in our area. I will continue to work hand in hand with the community to provide the services they want and need. I would like to thank the Tri-Community and surrounding areas for their support and input.”

He listed treating others as you want to be treated, being the best at what you do and contributing to the group to which you belong. Guzman told a story about a man who had tried to discover the secret known to those who had achieved

success. The man distilled all his research down to two words: “I will.” That meant, Guzman said, “I will do the best I can today; I will treat people as I want to be treated and I will contribute to the groups I belong to.” The keys of “teaching” and “responsibility” were left in understanding success, Guzman said. “I have often been amazed at how often people find themselves

teaching,” he said. “I don’t mean only in the classroom. I mean in every normal day.” We teach by what we do, he said. We teach by what we say. People teach one another whether they know it or not. “We learn from one another,” he told the graduating class. “You have been and will be a teacher.” And the final key is responsibility. Guzman broke that down further into “personal responsibility, professional responsibility and public responsibility.” He said successful people are responsible for their own well-being and the well-being of their families, friends, neighbors and fellow workers. “They are also responsible for maintaining and improving in their professions,” he said. “For some of you this is something coming

For some of you others you are already doing this.” Successful people also assume public responsibility by getting involved to make a positive difference, volunteering their time, making donations that are appropriate and voting in local, state and national elections. “It is our American way,” he said. Chosen as student speakers at the ceremony were Amanda Hughes and Aracelli Castaneda. Hughes opened her address by thanking Dr. Doris Helmich, Vice President of Student Services, the governing board and other dignitaries. “And so here we are,” she said to her classmates. “This is a very important time in our lives.” She said this was not about the grades, not about the tests or the perfect attendance. “This is really about our journey, this important milestone. It is really about our set goals, commitment to see it to the end and the wisdom we’ve gained along the way.” And, more importantly, she said, it was about the people they had met along the way. “Thank you for the opportunity to speak on this significant day, as it is a great honor,” Castaneda said after she acknowledged those in attendance. “Today we celebrate our accomplishments as graduates and reflect upon the efforts necessary to reach this stage. Endless hours of study, mounds of homework and an infinite amount of sacrifice, dedication and persistence to stick it out have gotten us to this place.” Following the speeches, introductions and acknowledgements, Gladys Christensen, President of the Board of Governors awarded the degrees and certificates. The members of the class of 2011 moved the tassels on their mortar board hats to the other side, the age old symbol of graduation. Shepherded by their proud CAC mentors and leaders and the applause of the standing audience members, the graduates marched out to the music of the Recessional. Also participating in the CACAravaipa campus graduation was the Ray High School ROTC who solemnly presented the colors at the beginning of the program. Copper Basin Idol Miranda Aviles sang the National Anthem. Vice President of Instructional Programs and Services Dr. Donald M. Pearl explained academic regalia. President Dennis A. Jenkins gave a history and recognition of the candidates. Faculty Senate President Ben VanDerLinden presented the candidates. Maria Munoz called the roll before the graduates walked in the Recessional.

The winners received their awards at a ceremony at the Pinal County Court House in Florence. Presiding Juvenile Court Judge, the Honorable Kevin D. White presented plaques to the kids and posed for pictures along with Director of Juvenile Court Diane L. McGinnis and CAB members. Congratulations Amara for a job well done! Amara is the daughter of Jeanine and Vince Apuron of San Manuel. Her essay appears below. WHAT CARING MEANS

TO ME By Amara Apuron When I think of caring, I think of teddy bears, but teddy bears just sit there. It is actually attitudes, words and gestures that all play a part in a person’s caring ability. Attitudes are the way you portray something. How you say a statement is attitude. It includes body language. Tone is also part of it. Many things are contributing to a caring attitude having a positive perspective is a caring trait. Words can also show caring. If you say something caring about someone, you’re a caring person. Caring words are nice words. Nice words can help someone through tough times. Caring gestures are things like hugs. When someone is feeling down and you hug them, they feel better. A gesture could be something like making muffins for someone or anything else that is comforting. It takes more than a teddy bear to show you care. Attitudes, words and gestures all play a part in a person’s caring ability. They all make up a caring person.

Miner Tracksters compete in Arizona Track and Field Championships

By John Hernandez Where or where will the tower go? Verizon and a group of Oracle citizens are working together to find the perfect spot for a proposed cell tower that will enhance communication in the hilly town. On Thursday May12 a group of 35 concerned citizens met at the Oracle Community Center to learn more and voice their concerns about the proposed Verizon tower location in Oracle. Representatives from Verizon, the Oracle Fire Department, Pinal County District 1 Supervisor Pete Rios and local activist Ross Hopkins spoke about the need for a tower in Oracle and the selection process for deciding a location for the tower. Hopkins talked about his group which opposed the last proposed location but said they would work with Verizon to help select alternate sites. Larry Southard of the Oracle Fire Department said that the Fire Department supported having a tower in Oracle but would remain neutral about any proposed site. Oracle Fire Chief Albert Ortiz said the main concern was public safety and he was looking forward to working with people in finding a spot for the tower. District Supervisor Pete Rios said that he “was grateful for Verizon pulling their last application and letting the people of Oracle decide” on a location.

Members of the audience were allowed to speak and See Verizon, Page 8

As the 7th Annual “Project Graduation” program is quickly approaching, the time has come to thank one of our major contributors to the great party. BHP has been one of the “backbones” of this party for 7 years. Through good times and not so good times, BHP has aways been the first to support our program in a very major way. Without their help, we would not be able to give the grads and their guests the many gifts, great food and other “goodies” throughout the evening’s festivities. Although we receive generous contributions from many people, organizations and businesses – BHP, the Pinal County Sheriff’s Department and the Pinal County Attorney are our major contributors. Thank you so much! The Project Graduation Squad ibo • Thank You • Muchas Gracias • Merci • Danke

By Guy Harrison Media and Marketing Specialist PINAL COUNTY, Ariz. – Central Arizona College will open its doors to Pinal County high school students this summer with its First Step Program. Through the program, students who aspire to attend college can get an early start on earning college credit while receiving significant cost savings. “With the continued increase in college tuition rates nationwide and the financial struggles that many families are facing today, the First Step program can provide a quality opportunity for students and their families to save on future college expenses,” Luis Sanchez, CAC’s assistant director of recruitment, explained. First Step is a summer program for Pinal County students completing their sophomore, junior or senior year of high school. The program allows high school students to enroll in college courses before graduating from high school. Students who enroll in this program may take up to seven college credits and receive a tuition waiver. First Step classes are held during the college’s summer sessions. The summer semester begins Tuesday, May 31. Prior to registering for coursework at Central Arizona College, first time First Step students are expected to complete COMPASS placement testing and attend an advising forum. Placement testing and advising forums are available by appointment only. Students must contact a CAC campus or center to schedule an appointment for COMPASS testing and advising forums. In the forum, students will take placement tests, meet with an academic advisor, turn in the First Step form (with signatures) and register for classes. Participation in the First Step program is a seven-part process: 1. Secure all signatures on the First Step form (available from your high school guidance counselor or the CAC Recruitment Office). 2. Make an appointment to attend a testing and advising forum. 3. Attend your testing and advising forum. Students will start registering for classes at the forum. 4. Turn in the completed First Step form to the CAC Registration Office. 5. Attend orientation. 6. Purchase books at the bookstore. 7. Attend all classes. First Step students are members of the college community and are expected to adhere to all college rules and regulations, attend all classes, and are responsible for completing the withdrawal process for any courses they do not attend. For more information regarding First Step, please contact Luis Sanchez at 520-494-5266 or by e-mail at firststep@centralaz.edu. Students and parents also may contact their high school guidance counselor or visit First Step on the web at www. centralaz.edu/firststep.
