Local students attend Girls State at University of Arizona With their junior year of high school behind them, Yvette Balderrama and Vanessa Goff are two of the nearly 300 young women from across Arizona preparing to attend the 64th American Legion Auxiliary Girls State on the campus of the University of Arizona in Tucson, June 5-11, 2011.

This premier program is a leadership conference designed to provide practical insight into the working of government, to instill a sense of pride and loyalty to America and create friendships and memories that last a lifetime.

Balderrama and Goff both attend San Manual High School.

A key component of the Girls State program involves mock senate sessions complete with debating of

bills that range in topic from personal issues to political concerns. Campaigns are held to elect city, county, party and state officials.

The elected Governor and Secretary of State return to preside over the following year’s Arizona Girls State.

In addition to legislative forums, the girls hear distinguished guest speakers.

“The Girls State experience is one of both privilege and responsibility. While it offers each girl amazing opportunities for personal growth, there is certainly the expectation that she will be energized to share that learned knowledge with others in her local community,” said Penny Maklary, the Director of Arizona American Legion Auxiliary Girls State. Maklary, along with

American Legion Auxiliary volunteers, former girls state citizens and educators encourage the delegates to continue their community service and practice good citizenship.

For more information on Girls State or the American Legion Auxiliary contact the Auxiliary Unit located in your city or the American Legion Auxiliary Department of Arizona at 602-241-1080. As the largest women’s patriotic service organization in the world, it is fitting that The American Legion Auxiliary is the proud sponsor of both Girls State and Girls Nation. Founded in 1919, the Auxiliary boasts a membership of nearly 900,000 members and has a commanding presence in more than 9,500 communities nationwide.

By Lana Jones Dr. Ron Rickel, superintendent of MammothSan Manuel Unified School District, is retiring at the end of this month after 30 years in education.

He spent over 14 of those 30 years in the M-SM district, first as a math teacher and later as a superintendent.

During Rickel’s time as superintendent, the high school was named one of the best in the nation by U.S. News and World Report (in 2010).

Two district schools were also named A+ schools by the Arizona Education Foundation: First Avenue Elementary in 2007 and San Manuel Jr/Sr High in 2008.

“These types of awards and recognition are important because they can only happen when students, teachers, support staff and administrators are all excelling,” Rickel said.

The district was also excelling at a time of frequent budget cuts.

Rickel said that the hardest part of his job was maintaining, “a comprehensive, quality

50 Cents

education for our students and a competitive salary for our employees, during a time that funding was significantly cut from the State and additional funding was lost due to declining enrollment.”

“The last couple of years have been incredibly difficult economic times for our district, our community, our state, and our nation,” he said.

Rickel said that he hopes the district can come to an agreement about what is best for the students as everyone continues to struggle through these tough times.

“Traditionally we have had strong support from parents, businesses, community members, and SaddleBrooke,” he said. “That continuing support will be critical to the future success of the district.”

The future of the district will also depend upon its new leader, John Ryan. Rickel said that hiring Ryan was a great choice.

“He brings both change and stability to the district,” said Rickel. He explained that Ryan would bring change because of his different point See Rickel, Page 8

Tributes Ernest Franklin Ivy Sr. March 26, 1929 - May 15, 2011

Ernest Franklin Ivy and Sr. was born in Webb City, Missouri, March 26, 1929 to Henry and Mable Ivy. He spent his childhood on a farm in Southern Missouri. In 1947, at the age of 18, Ernest entered the United States Army and was active in the Korean War. He left the Army in 1954, decorated with the Bronze Star and Purple Heart.

On August 4, 1951, Ernest married Mary Cummings. A few years later, they moved to Arizona, settling in San Manuel in 1956. Together, they raised four boys: Ernest Jr., Henry, Charley and Richard. In 1979, with the boys all grown, Ernest moved with Mary to their property in Redington.

Ernest’s roots run deeply

through the Southern Arizona desert. He toiled away in the underground mines of Magma for 30 years before retiring.

He was a community man, serving as the local president of both the Pinal County Search and Rescue, in the mid60s through the early 70s and the Lions Club, where he was an active member for 20 years.

Ernest was an avid sports fan and spent much of his time attending and supporting the high school, junior high and community sport functions in the San Manuel area. This community was his home and he loved the place and people, dearly.

Ernest was a hard-working, honest man. When the occasion called for it, he could be as strong-willed as they come; but, for all his strength, he still loved the lighter side of life. He built and raced cars, from “claimers” to “super-modifieds,” with his sons, when they were young.

He loved practical jokes and played them on his family, even in the very end. His playfulness could be seen when grandchildren and greatgrandchildren came around.

Ernest loved kids, in many different ways, he was a big kid, himself.

On May 15, Ernest graduated

Samuel Milford Jones died early Wednesday morning, June 1, 2011 at The Carriage House in Snowflake, Arizona at the age of 81. He was affectionately known as Sam to everyone who knew him.

Sam was born on Jan. 27, 1930 in Morton, Smith County, Mississippi to the late Chesley Ebbie and Mahalie Jane (Bynum) Jones. He grew up on farms in Smith and Jones Counties in Mississippi. He moved to Arizona from his native Mississippi 56 years ago. Sam loved to hunt and fish and he was well-known for his prize winning pumpkin garden. Sam also had a love for good music and was an excellent guitar player himself. He had a career in mining as a journeyman welder; working for the Magma Copper in San Manuel, Arizona for 36 years. Sam was schooled at the University of Arizona in Tucson at the School of Metals.

He was a member of the Town

He also was a dedicated bus driver to the members of the congregations of the Baptist Churches in Mammoth and Show Low.

Letter to the Editor: Another update on the Verizon issue Editor, San Manuel Miner: Several questions have been asked by Oracle residents this past week about the status of the search for alternate Verizon Wireless tower sites for this town. The answers might prove helpful to others.

First, unless some unforeseen circumstances arise, the search for viable cell tower sites to present to Verizon Wireless for consideration is now concluded.

As of June 1st., thirteen Oracle landowners have come forward to offer up possible sites for this tower since the search began with the May 12 Oracle Town Meeting at the Oracle Community Center (OCC).

With the original Darimont property tower location included as another potential site, we have well exceeded in three

weeks the original goal of this search process of finding another ten sites.

Pinnacle Consulting, Inc. and Verizon Wireless are currently in the process of reviewing each site for its potential, to find the location that best meets the engineering criteria needed to provide better cell phone service for Oracle. When this review is concluded, we will schedule a final midweek evening Oracle Town Meeting at the OCC with plenty of public notice to present to residents the top three finalists for this tower installation location. Until that date, we will not disclose the names of the landowners who offered up these 13 other sites, as a matter of privacy and courtesy to the landowners.

At the final Town meeting, those who attend will be given

a public briefing on each of the best-of- three final top sites, and the reasons behind their ranking and selection as finalists. A question-andanswer session will follow for those residents who want more information about the selection process. Following this Town Meeting, the site selection process will shift to negotiations on a private business level between the owner of the selected site, and Pinnacle Consulting, Inc.,and Verizon Wireless, which is the fair and appropriate method to resolve this issue.

For those residents who object to the selected site, they will have ample opportunity to present their concerns during the public comment and participation portions of the formal process, that is currently in place for such

applications to Pinal County for the special use permit required to erect such an cellular communications installation.

These include the opportunity to submit comments in writing to the Planning and Development Department when the application process is announced, and attendance in person in Florence before the Planning and Zoning Commission during a formal public hearing on the permit application. Finally, public input will be invited at the meeting of the Board of Supervisors (BOS) in Florence, when the final decision will be made by the BOS as to whether to approve or deny the permit to erect the tower. If you have any questions, please call 8962832.

Thank you, /s/ Ross Hopkins

Editor, San Manuel Miner: Congratulations and good luck! How many times did we hear those four words over the past couple of weeks? I think it safe to say that it was at least a few hundred times.

Another graduating class of San Manuel High School seniors walked away with their diploma in hand and right into the warm congratulatory hugs and well wishes of family.

So how could these very same proud well-wishers jeopardize the safety and lives of their teens? I saw it time after time at several of the graduation parties I was invited to during graduation week. Parents and other adults provide alcohol at their kids’ graduation parties.

Why do parents think it’s acceptable for their minor child to consume alcohol on this occasion? Okay so they

rationalize that the alcohol is for adult guests, but yet they don’t intervene when they see underage youth helping themselves to any of the multitude of alcoholic beverages available at these parties.

Some parents chose to look the other way, or pretend to not hear the drinking games, toasts and challenges going on with the youth; while others actually encouraged and supported their graduate’s consumption. I actually heard one kid bragging about the number of Jello shots he swallowed on his graduation night. In addition to the number of bottles of beer and hard liquor he had consumed; in fact he said, “So many that I didn’t remember much.”

Unfortunately this kid’s memory of graduation will be

of a drunken stupor, instead of the sense of accomplishment and fellowship of his fellow graduates.

Tragic health, social and economic problems result from the use of alcohol by youth. Underage drinking is a causal factor (which means is caused by) in a host of serious problems, including homicide, suicide, traumatic injury, drowning, burns, violent and property crime, high risk sex, fetal alcohol syndrome, alcohol poisoning, and need for treatment for alcohol abuse and dependence.

As a community we should be outraged at such behavior from adults. Our job as parents and community members is to ensure that our youth have an environment which promotes positive development.

Children live what they learn.

Parents often try to be friends to their children. It’s more important to be a parent—to establish rules, set limits and help children learn to be safe and healthy. Research shows that parents are the leading influence on kids’ decisions about drinking alcohol. So for those parents who provided alcohol free celebrations for their graduates keep up the great work. You will be rewarded over and over again by watching your child succeed. Those of us who are parents know that the greatest sorrow a mom or dad can experience come from seeing your child in pain or on a destructive path; but by the same token the greatest JOY comes from seeing your child succeed in all aspects of life. Youth who abstain from drinking alcohol until they are 21 are far more likely to be successful than those who begin drinking in their teens.

So I’ll say it one more time “Congratulations” class of 2011 on getting through the graduation without a fatality in which alcohol or drugs was involved; it was sheer……..

Good Luck. /s/ Betty Chavez

Comet Wrestling Club competes at Cholla and T.C.C.

By Frank Smith The Comet Wrestling Club

took to the mat in Tucson at Cholla High School and the

Tucson Convention Center for the Grand Canyon State

Games.

On May 7 at Cholla High

Members of the Comet Wrestling Club bring home some impressive hardware from recent meets. (Submitted photo)

School, the Comet Wrestlers had two first place finishers in Gilbert Rodriguez wrestling in the 55 lb. weight class and Frankie Renteria wrestling in the 90 lb. weight class.

Rodriguez had four wins with no losses and Renteria also had four wins with no losses for the first place finish.

Bringing home a second place finish was Ruben Hernandez who wrestled in the 155 lb. weight class, compiling a record of four wins with one loss.

Wrestling in the 60 lb. weight class was J.R Franco who had three wins against three losses.

At the Grand Canyon State Games on May 14 at the T.C.C., Rodriguez and Renteria earned a championship in their weight classes, with Hernandez taking another second place finish and Franco facing stiff competition for a strong finish.

At the 55 lb. weight class, Rodriguez took on his opponent from Sunny Side who carried a record of 25 – 0 into the Championship match. Rodriguez wasted no time pinning his opponent in 45 seconds of the first period to earn a 4 – 0 record and a first place finish to complete an outstanding season record of 22 wins with only two

losses.

Renteria wrestling at the 90 lb. weight class also brought home a championship, avenging his only loss of the season against Brice Jackson for the first place finish.

Renteria started out the match strong, winning the first period 3 – 0 and winning the second period 4 -3 for the victory with a 5 – 0 record for the day and an amazing 27 – 1 season record.

Wrestling at 155 lbs., Hernandez finished the day with a 4 – 1 record and a second place finish.

Hernandez also had a chance to avenge his only two losses of the season as he made his way to the championship match but could not overcome his opponent, needing only a takedown in the final seconds – took the loss 6 – 7 for second place.

Hernandez finished the season with a respectable record of 23 win and three losses.

In the 60 lb. weight class, J.R Franco faced off with some really tough competition finishing the day with three wins against three losses. Franco worked hard all season long posting a competitive record of 12 wins with 10 losses.

Congratulations to the Comet Wrestling Club on a great season!

FLORENCE – Pinal County Public Health serves as the issuing party for birth certificates for anyone born in Arizona and death certificates for deaths that occur within the county. Pinal County and the Arizona Office of Vital Records have had the same fee schedule since 2002. With the passage of Senate Bill 1612, which was signed into law by the Governor, a statewide fee increase was approved.

Effective July 1, the amount charged for birth and death certificates issued by Pinal County will change as follows:

• Certified copy of birth or death certificates was $10, will be $20 after July 1 • Amendments/corrections/ establishment of paternity on birth certificates was $23, will be $30 after July 1 • Amendments/corrections on death certificates was $23, will be $30 after July 1 • Non-certified copies of birth or death certificates was $3, will be $5 after July 1 The fee for amendments and corrections for birth or death certificates includes one certified copy of the amended certificate.

Any requests for birth or death certificates that are received prior to July 1 will be fulfilled at the existing rates.

“If someone anticipates a need for a birth or death certificate for any purpose, we recommend filing now,” said Tom Schryer, Director of Public Health. “We anticipate an increased volume of requests between now and July 1.”

Arizona is a closed records state, meaning that you have to meet certain criteria to obtain birth and death certificates. To learn more about ordering vital records, call 1-800-231-8499 or view general information at http:// bit.ly/kSUqm5. Information specific to birth certificates is posted at http://bit.ly/ kCWlWY. For information about death certificates, go to http://bit.ly/m8vbsI. (Please note that these are official county website links that were shortened for ease of use.)

Sheriff warns of possible phone scams On June 1 and 2, the Pinal County Sheriff’s Office received two calls related to a “Publishers’ Clearing House” phone scam. Citizens are reminded not to fall prey to these scams by giving out personal information over the phone.

The first call we received regarding this scam was on June 1. The caller who lives in San Manuel stated that she received a phone call from an individual and felt it was a scam. The victim received a phone call and the male subject on the other end of the line stated she had won money from “Publishers’ Clearinghouse.”

The victim was told she needed to give the caller her credit card information so they could release the money to her. The victim put her husband on the phone who also refused to give their credit card information. The caller then made threats to come over to their residence in 15 minutes and hurt them if they did not give him their credit card information. The victims hung up and called 9-1-1.

The second call received regarding this scam was on June 2. The caller who lives in SaddleBrooke stated that she received a phone call from an individual and she felt it was scam. The victim received the phone call from somebody who identified himself as an “FBI Agent.” The individual stated that her mother had won money from

“Publishers’ Clearing House” but the money was in Spain and she needed to wire $3,000 by “Western Union” to receive the money her mother had won.

The victim questioned the authenticity of the information.

The caller told the victim she could call the Pinal County Sheriff’s Office and verify it through the Region Lieutenant.

After she hung up the phone with the caller, an individual called her and said he was a Lieutenant with the Pinal County Sheriff’s Office and he verified the information to be true regarding her winning the money.

The victim went to Western Union and wired $3,000 per the caller’s request. The victim still had a bad feeling about this so she called the Pinal County Sheriff’s Office and asked to speak with the Lieutenant she spoke with earlier. She was connected with the Lieutenant who supposedly called her before. The Lieutenant was not the same individual and told the victim it was a scam. The victim was able to quickly cancel the wire transfer and was able to get her money back.

All of the calls came from blocked lines which could not be traced.

Copper Basin Railway named one of the ‘Safest Railways in America’

By John Hernandez Copper Basin Railway (CBRY) just completed 21 consecutive years without an injury accident. This is a phenomenal achievement considering the railroad operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week hauling ore, copper concentrate, acid, lumber and military tanks.

This record has resulted in the American Short Line and Regional Railroad Association naming Copper Basin Railway one of the safest railroads in the United States. This achievement is largely due to the management style and innovations of CBRY’s Chief Operating Officer L.S. ”Jake” Jacobson.

Jake is a third generation railroader and it would be safe to say a living legend in the railroad industry.

In 1994, Railway Age magazine named Jake “Railroader of the Year.” He was the first and only Arizonan to receive this award. When Jake was given this award, he received letters of congratulations from Speaker of the House, Newt Gingrich,

and Arizona’s favorite son, Barry Goldwater. Jake has also been named one of the Great Railroaders of the Century.

He has 53 years of experience working for railroads. He has probably worked every job on the railroad not including when he was 11 years old and carried coal and water for the railroad in Kansas where his father worked.

He learned from his father and grandfather about safety and between the three of them they have a combined 129 years of service without a personal injury.

Many of those years were before there was safety equipment or government safety regulations.

Jake worked for 29 years with Union Pacific Railroad. One of the highlights of his career was coordinating and supervising the last leg of President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s funeral train in 1969. The train delivered the President’s body along with his family and close friends, secret service agents, military personnel and railroad officials to Abilene, Kansas where the President was laid to rest.

Scams

because you’ll get a “free gift.”

• Get all information in writing before you agree to buy.

• Check out a charity before you give. Ask how much of your donation actually goes to the charity. Ask that written information be sent to you so you can make an informed giving decision.

• Don’t invest your money with an unknown caller who insists you make up your mind immediately.

• If the offer is an investment, check with your state securities regulator to see if it’s properly registered.

• Don’t send cash by messenger or overnight mail. If you use cash rather than a credit card in the transaction, you may lose your right to dispute fraudulent charges.

• Make sure you know the per minute charge for any 900-number call you make.

• Don’t agree to any offer where you have to pay a “registration” or “shipping fee” to receive a prize or a gift. If you have to pay, it’s a purchase — not a prize or a gift.

• Don’t confirm your account information over the phone or by email. Some callers have your billing information before they call you. They’re trying to get you to say “okay” so they can claim you approved a charge.

• Check out unsolicited offers with the Better Business Bureau, local consumer protection agency, or state Attorney General’s office before you agree to send money.

• Beware of offers to “help” you recover money you may have lost previously. Be wary of callers saying they are law enforcement officers who will help you get your money back “for a fee.”

• Don’t be afraid to say “no thanks” and hang up the phone • If you don’t want a business to call you again, say so. If they call back, they’re breaking the law.

Continued from Page 6 around for decades but scammers are still finding new twists to trick consumers. The best way to protect yourself is to know the difference between legitimate offers and fraudulent ones.”

How Can You Protect Yourself?

• Don’t be pressured to make an immediate decision.

• Don’t give your credit card, checking account, or Social Security number to unknown callers.

• Don’t pay for something merely

had returned to the same train depot he had departed Abilene from when he left for West Point, New York to attend the United States Military Academy in 1911.

Jake said he has seen many changes in the railroad industry – from “steam engines to diesel engines, telegraph to email and the power of computerization.”

After leaving Union Pacific, Jake became a consultant in safety management. Everywhere he went he improved the safety record of the company.

“I enjoy turning troubled properties around,” he said.

Jake’s name is synonymous with safety in the railroad industry.

The American Short Line Regional Railroad Association award for safety was founded by Jake Jacobson and bears his name. It is known as the Jake Jacobson Safety Award but usually shortened to the Jake Award.

When a safety award is named for you, besides talking the talk, you better walk the walk. Jake has been walking tall his whole career.

More and more railroad lines are being awarded the Jake Award for Safety. Most of them because they have adopted the management style and the ideas that Jake has been successful with. His success has been praised by companies like insurance giant Zurich and Dupont.

Jake was asked what he attributed CBRY’s remarkable safety record too. He replied, “It is pretty simple: treating all people fairly and equally and having a true partnership with employees.”

Congratulations to Copper Basin Railway and Jake Jacobson for being a national leader in safety management.

Continued from Page 1 of view and stability because he understands the district’s core values.

“The combination of change and stability is exactly what is needed to take the district to the next level,” Rickel said.

Rickel’s fondest district memory is from his work as a teacher.

“To this day the first year that we offered AP Calculus was the most rewarding year of my 30 years in education,” he said. “Those kids in that class were so dedicated and were determined to prove to everyone that they would succeed—and they did.”

He said that what he’ll miss the most though are the many great people he’s come to

Volunteer

Continued from Page 1 on their board and also with day-to-day operations.

At the end of May, the TCFB had to close on a day they would normally be open because they didn’t have enough volunteers.

Their bylaws also stipulate that the TCFB Board should have three members each from Mammoth, Oracle, San Manuel, and SaddleBrooke.

Lately they’ve only met that goal with board members from Mammoth and SaddleBrooke.

Having fewer board members makes it difficult to keep up with acquiring funding and filing reports.

The TCFB works with multiple groups, like the United Way and the Salvation Army, to serve the people of the Tri-Community.

Joyce McClung, TCFB treasurer, said that the food bank must have a board that oversees everything to be able to work with these groups.

“The board tries to work to see if we can be recipients of funding from a variety of groups,” she said, “and every group that gives you something wants reports.”

McClung said that having an all-volunteer food bank was rare and that it was something the community could be proud of.

“We’ve always been proud that the Tri-Community was taking care of our food bank,” she said, “now it’s extremely difficult to find people who live in the community willing to take a leadership role.”

An all-volunteer food bank means that all the donations the TCFB receives go towards food.

McClung said that the TCFB’s food boxes exceed the minimum requirements. “We have more items in our food boxes. We spend our money on food. That’s something our community can be really proud of,” she said, “that we are operating one of the best food banks for our rural area.”

Volunteers don’t get paid or get any material benefits but they still come help the TCFB one or more times per week.

Why do they do it?

Maybe they want to help those in the community that have hit hard times. McClung said that the TCFB serves people throughout the three communities.

“We have senior citizens that are trying to get by on their Social Security check; we have families that have lost employment who are just barely making it. There’s lots of poverty in our area,” she

Local girl helps drive Sun Life

By John Hernandez Natalie Ivy has been working for Sun Life Family Health Center in San Manuel for five years. In that time she says “the place has come a long way.”

“It was difficult to work here (at first),” she said.When she first started “Since Al Gutierrez took over as manager, it is a great place to work.”

Al Gutierrez, Regional Manager says that Natalie is a true leader. “Together in five years we have come a long way. Her input has been huge in what we are offering,” he said.

“We are a team now. We all work together, both front and back office.”

Natalie has lived in San Manuel since 1995. She graduated from San Manuel High School in 1999. She attended Pima Community College where she received her nursing degree in 2004. She is

married to Ernest Ivy III and has two daughters Adriana and Brianna. Northwest Hospital employed her as a nurse in the oncology department prior to working at Sun Life. When she hired on with Sun Life, she took the opportunity to be close to home.

“San Manuel is a nice place to live,” she said. “Sun Life is a great place to work. The staff is great.”

Natalie supervises the back office staff at the Sun Life Family Health Centers in Oracle and San Manuel. She also supervises the nursing staff and medical assistants.

Part of her job is resolving issues between patients and providers as well as the providers and staff.

Al called Natalie the “backbone” for the back office.

“She is the person in charge when I am out of the office,” he said. “She knows what patients need and the needs

The ones who make it happen ...

Denielle Apodaca, Davina Taylor, Natalie Ivy, Yolva Perez, Lisa Rodriguez, Annette Altimirano and Xochitl Salas really love what they do – working with folks from the community at Sun Life Family Health Care. (John Hernandez photo) of the employees. I trust her ability to see that the services we provide for our patients are the best available. Thank you Natalie for everything you have done.”

There are four medical assistants that work with Natalie in the San Manuel office. They are all San Manuel High School graduates. The four girls in San Manuel are Davina Taylor, Lisa Rodriguez, Xochitl Salas and Yolva Perez.

Davina graduated from San Manuel in 2007. She attended

Pima Medical Assistant School. She has been working for two years with Sun Life and says she loves it.

Lisa graduated from San Manuel High School in 2002. She is from Oracle and a graduate of Carrington College. She has worked here eight months and “likes it a lot.”

Xochitl is a member of the San Manuel Class of 1997. She received her medical assistant training at Tucson College.

She has been employed at Sun Life for six years and enjoys it.

“We’re a great team,” she said.

“We work together well.”

The Oracle Sun Life office now has two medical assistants that are also local girls Denielle Apodaca and Annette Altimirano. Denielle attended Pima Medical Institute and Annete attended Carrington College.

The Sun Life Family Health Center offers training for local students in the medical field.

They have even hired two of the students that trained with them. Natalie says she would like to go back to school and

get her Bachelor’s Degree in nursing. She would like to teach nursing at a local college. Natalie sees better things ahead for the Sun Life Family Health Centers.

“I see it continuing to expand.

We have specialists that come in, x-ray services, and new technology. We can get more services at Sun Life so people in our area don’t have to travel. I see it growing and improving,” With Natalie guiding the people she works with, we are sure it will.

The pools are open: are you?

Are you open to joining in the fun with friends and family in the open swim; in experiencing the benefits of low gravity exercise that firms and youthens? To the bliss of water therapy, bringing you closer to nature? Fun? Frolic?

The pools in San Manuel and Mammoth are open and waiting for you. Remember, though, that they do have a budget so to keep them open on schedule the managers need to see decent attendance.

What happens, so many years, is that no one much comes and for a while and then, when the schedule is shortened, people show up on the days that have been lost to practicality, standing out in the sun, disgruntled. So, tell your friends, tell your family and come often, to enjoy this inexpensive summertime treat, that can’t be beat, whether it’s that you want to escape the heat, drop a few pounds or enjoy the happy company of your fellow man at play.

Both the San Manuel and Mammoth Pools have been

open since May 28, with the usual admission of $1 for adults and children alike with kids four and under free if accompanied by a paying adult. All entrants to the pool must pay, regardless of whether they are swimming or not. There are season passes available at a cost of $65 for immediate family or $35 per single person.

For those who wish to schedule pool parties at the San Manuel Pool call Jeanine at 385-9854 or stop by the pool during business hours. Use the same number to call Jeanine if are interested in the free swim lessons that are available, at the pool, from 11 a.m. – 1 p.m., Tuesday – Friday, thanks to SaddleBrooke Community Outreach.

The regular recreational swim times are Wednesday and Friday Afternoon Swim, 1 – 4 p.m., followed by Sea Lions Practice from 4 – 6 p.m.; and Night Swim from 6:30 – 9:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.

Adult Swim is from 11 a.m.

This week – one time only

– the Mammoth Pool will be open for public swimming from 1-4 p.m. on Friday. The pool will be closed during its regularly scheduled hours of 6-9 p.m.

FLORENCE – By order of state statutes, Pinal County voters will be electing a five member Board of Supervisors in 2012, based on population data gathered in the 2010 census. The state’s population growth also means that Arizona will gain a Congressional district. Statewide redistricting has an effect on countywide redistricting yet the planning needs to follow a similar track and timeline.

The Board of Supervisors and Pinal County Elections Department is seeking preliminary public input through a survey that is posted online. You can find a link to the survey under Hot Topics on

the Elections Department website or you can access it directly thorough this link: http://www. surveymonkey.com/s/ZPJ796W. Residents who do not have access to the internet can complete the survey at their local library.

SurveyMonkey is a free survey development tool used by more than four million customers.

The survey will be closed after two weeks and the results will be presented to the Board of Supervisors at a future date.

With a major presidential election next year, finalizing voting districts is an urgent matter for many states and counties throughout the nation.

Pinal County seeks citizen input on redistricting
