Pinal County Sheriff’s Office makes arrest in connection to Roach Fire On July 14, 2017, Pinal County Sheriff’s deputies arrested James Brumley for his involvement in starting the Roach Fire. On July 7, at approximately 7:30 p.m., deputies responded to the Dudleyville area in reference to reports of an active fire scene. Upon arrival, deputies discovered the fire was spreading quickly and several residences were in danger of being destroyed. Deputies began evacuations immediately. The fire, named “The Roach Fire”, would

ultimately burn over 300 acres and destroyed a total of 14 structures to include 1 occupied residence and 4 unoccupied residences. The cost to fight this fire exceeded $1.1 million dollars, with close to $1 million dollars in damage and financial loss. During the investigation, it was found the fire may have been human caused and may have started out as a controlled burn that got out of control. Witness statements led

investigators to James Brumley’s residence. Arson investigators from the Golder Ranch Fire Department also assisted in the investigation and were able to trace the fire back to Brumley’s property. They advised a smoldering burn pile was reignited due to the winds and spread. Investigators questioned Brumley, who denied starting the fire. Brumley was arrested and booked on reckless burning and five counts of criminal damage.

Oracle Firewise meeting welcomes Superior Fire Oracle Fire District undisputedly has an amazing base of volunteers who are ready and willing to help out during an emergency. And not just in Oracle. Earlier this month when the Roach Fire broke out in Dudleyville, Oracle Firefighters, as well as firefighters from all the communities in the Copper Corridor, answered the call and went to help battle

the blaze. Along with the firefighters, though, came the Oracle CERTs. CERTs, or Community Emergency Response Team, are volunteers dispatched with firefighters to lend their support at the scene. They dispense water, run errands and generally help out wherever they can. Oracle has another group of volunteers that support the district in another way.

The Oracle Firewise Board works with local residents to educate them in how to protect their property in the event of a fire emergency with the main message on creating a defensible 30-foot, brush free space around the home. This helps keep wildfires from easily burning homes.

Other fire departments at the scene of the Roach Fire took notice of the Oracle Fire District CERTs and Firewise program. On July 11, 2017, the Oracle Firewise Board met at the Oracle Fire District. In attendance were Superior Chief of Continued on page 9

Community Development - A Project for Everyone

uring our July Council meeting, the council voted to create a Community Development Committee. This committee will provide oversight and advisement to the Town Council on everything from tourism development, marketing, annexation and our upcoming General Plan process. We are inviting local residents to apply to the committee to be appointed by the council. During the 2017-18 budget year, Town staff and the council will embark on a comprehensive planning process that will help us set our General Plan along with developing sub plans to be implemented. Those sub-plans include downtown development, planning for a multi-generational com-

munity center and library, comprehensive parks plan and our capital improvement plan. These plans and modeling are needed before the Town can acquire funding to make these improvements. Even if you are not interested in serving on the committee, please come out and participate in the public meetings as they are scheduled. We are all anxious for the completion of the highway construction. We are anticipating that the road will be striped and all barricades will be removed from the highway by the end of the week. They will then focus their work on the final landscaping, the Stone Avenue underpass and curb repairs. I want to personally thank everyone who

came out and supported the Fourth of July Pool Party and Fireworks show our staff and the volunteers from the Junior and Senior High School Student Councils. Everything was a team effort by our staff and the many contributors to the event. Providing financial sponsorship to the party were: Superior Chamber of Commerce, OMYA Inc., Red Bear Outfitters, Cooper & Rueter LLP, Western Environmental Technologies Inc., and Colby & Powell PLC. Thankfully we were able to have our fireworks show in a safe location. Thank you to Resolution Copper for allowing our Fire Department access to the tailings site on their property. These types of partnerships is what makes us Superior!

Pickle Barrel Trading Post L

ocated on Broad Street in Globe is the region’s number one trading post shopping experience. From antiques, turquoise jewelry, Native American pottery, rugs, art and more, you never know what you might find at Pickle Barrel Trading Post. The Trading Post is owned by Kevin and Saundra Moss and Jim and Kelly Moss. Kevin and Jim grew up in Globe and visited family on a regular basis as they grew their careers. Kevin and Saundra saw a great opportunity to buy the building which was formerly the Dominion Copper Company warehouse from another local entrepreneur who had started to remodel the building to sell antiques. Kevin and Saundra started the business in 2004 and together with Jim and Kelly the two couples have grown it into an 8,000 square feet destination shopping location. Customers often drive anywhere from 90 minutes to two hours to visit the trading post to shop for unique and one of a kind items. The Pickle Barrel Trading Post is a store that you must give yourself ample time to browse and visit each area of the store. The store also has an assortment leather furniture, wall hangings and other artifacts. Their advice for business success: “Maintain quality customer service and keep your hours consistent,” explained Jim Moss. The Pickle Barrel Trading Post is open seven days a week. Monday through Saturday 10 a.m. to 5:45 p.m. and Sundays 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. They are closed on Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter. The store employs about 12 employees who are often the ones who help set up merchandise displays. “Our employees have a great eye for arranging the merchandise,” said Kelly. “One of the hardest things to do is buy merchandise that you might not like. You always want to buy what you like but not everyone will like everything that you like.” The couples also diversified their sales opportunities by adding a fully functional website and social media campaigns to aid their customers in shopping. Their website www.picklebarreltradingpost.com features many items that can be ordered and shipped directly to the consumer. You can also keep up with new merchandise at the trading post by following them on Facebook, Instagram and You Tube.

Copper Area grads play in Senior Bowl By Andrew Luberda Copper Area News

Football players, and members of the Class of 2017, from Superior, Ray and Hayden high schools accepted invites to don their pads and strap up the helmets one final time to play in the annual 1A Conference Senior Bowl, which took place June 3 at Duncan High School. Nicoalus Cruz, Edgar Galindo, Dominic Perea and Jalon Murray from Superior were joined on the Red team with a quintet of players from Hayden, including Brandon Cruz, Devin Donovan, Ryan Donovan, Michael Guerrero and Adrian Encinas. Paul Wormwood and Anthony Acuna were on the roster of the victorious Blue team that defeated the Red, 46 – 30. The Superior trio of Cruz, Galindo and Perea were named Offensive MVP, Defensive MVP and Coach’s Awards, respectively, for the Red team. The game represented the final high school game for all the players in the game. That made it a differently feeling than most other games they played in during their careers. “The emotions I had before the game weren’t the usual emotions I’ve had. I was sad because I switched my jersey number. I usually wear number 6, but I decided since it was the last game I would ever play I should make it special,” said Perea, who wore number 40 in memory of

his Uncle Joseph Perea. Perea, who lined up at four different positions – wide receiver, linebacker, safety, and defensive end – played an inspired game, perhaps the result of some divine intervention. “That was the first time I’ve played that good in a while,” Perea wrote in an email to the Copper Basin News. “So much of my family came to watch me play and I was glad they did. The first thing I did after the game was point in the sky and I said, ‘I love you uncle.’” The Superior football team experienced tremendous success the last two seasons and arguably was the best team in the state not to win it all. Perea, like every other player, will remember their high school careers for as much that happened off the field as on. “My greatest high school football memory was going to the semi-finals my junior and senior years,” Perea recalled. “Even though we lost, my team and I put everything we had into both of those undefeated seasons. My teammates became my brothers through the years. I guess you could say my favorite memory was creating a bond with all of my teammates.” The Senior Bowl provided one more lasting memory and kindled new relationships too. “The players and guys I met at the Senior Bowl were amazing people,” said Perea. “I created bonds with a lot of them and they are now my friends.” Congratulations to all of the Copper Area players for

Superior Panthers who played in the Senior Bowl are from left: Jalon Murray, Edgar Galindo, Dominic Perea, and Nicolaus Cruz. representing their schools and our community extremely well.

FIREWISE Continued from page 3

Police, David Neuss and Superior Fire Department Communication Officer, Captain Richard Drennan. The Board and those in attendance discussed the recent Roach fire near Dudleyville. Chief Neuss and Captain Drennan asked questions about Firewise and the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT). Superior Fire Department is strongly considering starting a CERT program. The CERT program is a nationally-affiliated group that educates the community in disaster preparedness and offers training in basic disaster response skills, such as fire safety, light search and rescue, team organization and disaster medical operations. This volunteer group can then assist the community in responding to emergencies and offers support to emergency response agencies. For Superior residents, if interested in learning more about CERTs or becoming Firewise, contact the Superior Fire Department on their non-emergency line, 520-6895671. In Oracle, contact the Oracle Fire Department at 520-896-2357.
