Be true to self and pursue the dream that is in your heart, Class of 2011 graduates told last week
By Cindy Tracy Don’t worry too much about what others think about you but go ahead and follow your own vision of who you are and what you want to do in life. Though not the exact way he phrased it, that seemed the gist of one of the wise points Manuel Silvas made as guest speaker at the May 27 Superior High School graduation. SHS alumni Silvas explained in his speech to the 38 graduating seniors that a person is just a blip on the radar to others. Don’t let what people think keep you from being what you want to be or want to do. Silvas illustrated this general point and others by sharing his own story of how he rose from a troubled early life where others sought to define him to become a prominent attorney. He received a gift of appreciation and much applause from the Class of 2011 for his motivating and frank address out there on Memorial Field that night. The ceremony was held under the new stadium lights despite starting at 6 p.m. when the sun still blazed. It added to the celebratory mood when darkness finally fell and the new lights shone in all their glory. Someone shouted for everyone to look, the lights were back. Silvas started his speech talking about that celebratory mood. “Graduations are a time for celebration,” he told the Class of 2011, “a time to think what the future holds for you.” But he said they had plenty of time to do that thinking after the ceremony. Instead he asked them to listen to a story, which he said came from his heart. He told them that when he was a student there he did not do very well. “That I’m here before you now,” he said, “is absolutely amazing.” He said that his life was riddled with truth, “truth that I’ve never forgotten.” When he was nine years old, he said, his father committed a horrendous crime. “He murdered another human being. Four years later his dad was executed in the Arizona gas chamber,” Silvas said. He said that in his young life following this, he was very dysfunctional. “I was totally incapacitated. I didn’t do well in school because I had to deal with what was going on in my life,” he said. “My self-esteem, my selfworth was nonexistent. I didn’t like myself.” The odds of him succeeding at anything were totally against him, he said. “I didn’t like school,” he said, “I really didn’t.” He once had 33 straight absences and was expelled. “That was a happy moment for me,” he said. He was arrested for the first time in his life when he was 12 years old. He was adjudicated a juvenile delinquent and spent a few days in the facility at Florence. But as he spoke, Silvas’ tale took on a more positive tone. He became focused in on a dream back then. He would go to college. He said when he told people he was going to college, they did not believe him. “I had problems with teachers,” he said. “I had problems with teachers all the way from 1st-grade to when I got out of high school.” When he signed up for the SAT test, he was told: “You can’t go, Manuel, you can’t take the test because all you’re going to do is disrupt things.” But he did take the test, did graduate from Superior High School, went to college and eventually obtained an undergraduate degree and a master of arts in education. He taught school for a number of years and also attained his law degree. “What’s amazing,” he said, “is that I knew that I had it within me to do something.” He told the graduating seniors that they should find out what it is that they want, not allow the opinions of others to drown out their inner voice. “You follow your heart and your passion,” he said. “Remember this: Your most difficult obstacles are within yourself.” He advised them not to wait 30 years to say, “Boy, if I had my life
to live over again, I would make some changes.” He told them to do it now. Follow their heart, choose their experiences wisely. Don’t be afraid of failure. “At least you tried,” he said. Salutatorian Reinhold Everhart and Valedictorian Monica Ochoa gave their addresses early in the evening as well. “I know I have not had enough experience in life to give much advice,” Everhart said. “However, my dad told me that my time is limited and so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.” His father said to not be limited to other people’s thinking, be true to yourself. Don’t live in fear and “no matter what happens, you’ll know everything will be alright because you know who you are and you know you can go through it.” He asked his classmates to not get
caught up in the bad things of life, to focus on the good things because these are what make us who we are. Ochoa asked for a round of applause from her classmates for those who had been there for them in their lives. She thanked those special people for helping them to become the “wonderful young ladies and gentlemen we are today.” She gave a history of the classmates’ years together in school and how their friendships became even stronger. Going into high school was a year of unknowns, she said, “But we got through it together. This is where we knew some of the best memories that we will never forget,” she said. “Yes we had our ups and downs through the years but look at us now. We all are here together at our graduation.” There were a number of musical See Graduation, Page 6

‘Wall of Honor’ dedicated during Memorial Day service By Cindy Tracy Freedom isn’t free, it comes with a cost. That is an axiom oft repeated on patriotic holidays across the land. Freedom isn’t free, the speakers say as the sacrifices by U.S. soldiers of life or health or separation from loved ones is honored and remembered in speeches. That was what it was all about at the George E. Truman Veterans of Foreign War Post 3584 on Main Street, Superior on Memorial Day, 2011. On that May 30th Monday, the Post and Ladies Auxiliary dedicated the Wall of Honor they had created and placed in the lobby of the Post Home. Visible as you walk into the lobby on the wall facing the pool table, the Wall of Honor is a huge collage of pictures of soldiers who have served. It is a tangible reminder of their sacrifices and those of their families and a tribute to the concept that freedom isn’t free. Superior Police Detective Marshall Harshman was one of a number of speakers at the VFW service. He reflected on the cost of freedom and how we think about it on Memorial Day. “Backyard celebrations will rule the day,” he said about the Monday holiday. “The smell of charcoal grills will fill the air and the sound of children splashing in swimming pools will be heard. Neighborhood parks will come alive with Frisbees and neighborhood
football games. Neighbors gathered around picnic tables will laugh and enjoy each other’s company,” he said. “Today is a day for family and for friends and that’s the way that should be.” Those who fought for our freedom and liberty deserve to be celebrated, he said. “They also deserve to be honored, so right now, we pause. We lay aside for a few brief moments the hustle and bustle of our busy lives,” he said, “just to remember the one thing that we all have in common and that is that our freedom came with a price.” He discussed America’s history and wars and the many men and women throughout that history who have “given the last full measure of their devotion” as part of the cost of freedom. “The families of those men and women let go of their sons, their daughters, their parents, their spouses,” he said, “for a flag that sadly seems to mean less and less to people as time progresses.” He said that our desire for freedom has been met throughout history with opposition. “The liberty that we have grown accustomed to and the rights that we occasionally take for granted have been paid for. Our freedom to worship does not come from the clergy,” he said. “Our right to privacy is not granted by the police. Our expectation of a fair trial is not given by a benevolent lawyer or a judge. Our right to free speech does not
Pledge … Members of the local VFW recite the Pledge of Allegiance at Memorial Day services May 30. (Cindy Tracy photo) come by way of the media and our right to vote does not come from the politicians.” These rights and freedoms were paid for in places like Bunker Hill, Gettysburg and other locations, Harshman said. “On Memorial Day, we celebrate heroes,” he said. Included were heroes of the past, present and sadly, heroes of the future. Freedom isn’t free. There was a
price. Other speakers at the event included Mayor Michael Hing and Fire Operations Chief Todd Pryor. Frank Rabago led the crowd in the National Anthem and performed a number of patriotic songs, as he so ably does at every Memorial Day service. The Reverend Alvie Amos said the opening prayer. Rene Risinger said a prayer. Mike Urquio conducted See VFW, Page 4

Letter to the Editor: Recall of Mayor Hing in progress Editor, Superior Sun: The Citizens for Responsible Government Committee filed our second group of petitions recalling Mayor Michael Hing on Tuesday, May 17, 2011. These petitions consisted of even more signatures than our initial effort, with over 300 signatures submitted to the Town of Superior for verification. The next steps in this process are as follows (based on ARS 19-201): • May 17, 2011 to May 31, 2011 (10 days or it can be less) – Town of Superior forwards copies of the completed petitions to the County Recorder’s Office; • June 1, 2011 to July 29, 2011 (usually 15 days or less but legally it can be up to 60 days) – Pinal County Recorder verifies signatures and responds to the Town of Superior; • When the County notifies the
Call
Town that there are a sufficient number of signatures (178 needed), the Town then notifies Mayor Hing and he has the option of resigning. The Town then Calls for the Recall Election and makes available Nomination Petitions for those persons wishing to run in the election. Those wishing to run have 30 days to complete and submit their petitions. Based upon the maximum timeline, the latest date for the Recall Election would be sometime in September 2011. The Committee wants to thank both candidates running in the May 17, 2011 run-off election of one Town Council seat for conducting clean campaigns. Congratulations to Ms. Peralta for her win.

Editor, Superior Sun: I don’t understand why Chairman Rambler, San Carlos’s new tribal leader, is trying so hard to stop Resolution Copper Company Project’s land exchange just like they tried to stop BHP’s Pinto Valley Project from opening. If it wasn’t for all of our
surrounding copper mines who have hired a lot of men and women and sub-contractors like myself, they would have had to close down the Apache Gold Casino and put more people out of a job. This is called a no brainer. Thank you, /s/ Albo Guzman

Eighth-graders move to the status of high school students, advice given: ‘Get involved!”
1st-graders next school year … The John F. Kennedy Kindergarten Class of 2011 held its end-of-year celebration on May 25. The children performed a number of recital pieces and received certificates for their achievement in completing kindergarten. (Cindy Tracy photos)
By Cindy Tracy An important milestone for a group of young people was celebrated in the Superior Junior-Senior High School gym on a bright spring morning last week. The occasion was the Superior Junior High 8th-Grade Promotion 2011. Thirty-six strong, the class members marched confidently through the gym entrance and across the floor to the chairs that had been set up for them. Cameras and cell phones clicked, whirred and flashed from an appreciative group of school staff members, parents, friends and community members. The crowd had come to bear witness to the moment when the junior high students crossed the symbolic threshold and became official high school freshmen. Guest speaker was Monica Ochoa, Valedictorian of the Superior High School Class of 2011. She congratulated the students and told them that high school was really a whole different story from what they had experienced in junior high. “You guys will soon find out,” she said. Her advice to them was to have fun, make the best of their high school years and start off strong. “Because your first years are your most important,” she said. She told them to take advantage
of the learning opportunity that is being given to them. Be involved in extracurricular activities. “And when I say extracurricular activities,” she pointed out, “that doesn’t only mean sports.” There are clubs such as FCCLA, yearbook, DECA and many more. “Just be involved, guys,” she said, “It’s going to help you out a lot.” She wished them the best of luck in high school and congratulated them again. Also participating in the ceremony was Student Council President Cierra Navarrette, who led the Pledge of Allegiance. Principal/Superintendent Pete Guzman gave the welcome,
introductions and closing speeches. He, along with Vice Principal/ Athletic Director Billy Duarte presented the class to the audience. Promoted to the high school were Zachary James Allison, Alfredo Arvayo, Clarissa Celeste Arvayo, Devin Isiah Banks, Ariel Hilynn Bueno, Angela Francisca Campos, Melissa Christina Castellanos, Maria Esmeralda Cruz-Basoco, Brianna Monique Denogean, Lindsay Danielle Duarte, Corina Estella Enriquez, Joshua Evans, Hunter Lea Flanagan, Alysia Andrea Fuentes, Jesica Adelina Garcia, Aide Leticia Gonzalez-Morales, Marcus David Hiracheta, Ricardo

Cruz’n Main: The Allure of Motoring By Taylor Sheaffer Ritter From a very young age, I grew up around cars, loving them, admiring them, dreaming about them. My grandfather and my father both have had a slew of cool cars, so I had plenty to gawk at. Motoring is sort of a family enjoyment. I have a cousin who built a beautiful replica of a 1960s Shelby Cobra from a kit, absolutely gorgeous and if I am lucky he will drive Ben and I around for our first spin as a married couple in it. My grandfather had the first Jaguar XK120 racing version in the US, I have a great photo of he and my very young mother in the front. He currently has a 1917 Cadillac, a 1928 Lincoln Limousine and a 1964 black Lincoln Continental, you know, the one with suicide doors, like that in which Morpheus and Neo get about in during The Matrix. Sadly, when I was nine, excited to be going out for ice cream on Labor Day, I
accidentally drove my mother’s new Acura through our garage. Pops has never quite trusted me around his cars since; I mean, come on, 19 years later. We love cars. I love cars. So you can imagine my enjoyment when I was asked to cover last year’s Cruz’n Main event in Superior…it was like asking a sugar addict to cover the unveiling of a candy shop (technically this analogy would also apply to me). I ran around like a maniac, snapping up as many pictures as I could whilst I drooled over the 1947 Buick, the 1955 Chevy, the Carmingia, the hot-rods and low-riders. I was in hog heaven and there were even a few of those two. Not to mention some great food and fantastic entertainment via a bumpin’ DJ and stocked talent show line-up. It was way bueno. Naturally, this excitement carries over to this year’s event, the Fourth Annual Superior Cruz’n Main, taking
place on Saturday, June 4 in Superior on Main Street from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m. Entertainment wise, from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. the street will be bumping from the undoubtedly good tunes of DJ John Moreno…then from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. The Three Noblemen will be playing. If you are interested in entering a car into the show, the fee is $15 and you will have a chance to win the coveted People’s Choice awards; mind you, your car does not have to be a 1964 Aston Martin DB5 to enter, you can just be stoked on it and want to show it off. If you just want to look at cool cars and enjoy good music, then this is the place to be. Bring your cameras, I promise you’ll want keepsakes. For more information regarding the Fourth Annual Cruz’n Main, please contact the Superior Chamber of Commerce 520-689-0200 or 520-827-0692.
Prefer something with some muscle? How about this ‘68 Mustang? This Pony looks like it is chompin’ at the bit to head down Main Street again in this year’s show.

Discovery Core is a program that is geared towards males of 13 years of age and over; this program is similar to the Boy Scouts in that it challenges mental and physical abilities along with an individual’s creativity. “Future activities and programs are in the process, but we are in dire need of volunteers!” Casillas said.
