New director at the helm of Sierra Oaks School By John Hernandez Sierra Oaks School in Oracle has a new School director. Michael Hart is replacing Paula Jensen who has accepted a position as Principal at the new Legacy Traditional School in Tucson. Michael is originally from Alabama and has lived in Arizona the past seven years in the Mesa – Gilbert area. He has a Masters in Educational Psychology from Antioch University in Utah and did his undergraduate work at Columbia College in Salt Lake. He taught for more than five years and has administrative experience from working as the Director of Junior Achievement in Utah, Floor manager of the Pacific Science Center in Seattle, Washington and Manager of the Arizona Science Center in Phoenix. Michael said that the first time he came to Oracle there was snow on the ground. He knew then he would like it. He loves the outdoors, hiking and biking. His hobbies are racquetball and reading, especially biographies. “I like to read about people’s lives and why they’ve done the things they’ve done,” he said. He also has a real appreciation for science.
When Michael accepted the position, he liked the direction charter schools were going in Arizona. He was impressed with Sierra Oaks School. “I am very happy with the direction the school is going,” he said. “The small size of the classrooms has been very effective. We’re able to focus on art as well as academics. I like the broader focus on academics that includes art, music and drama. We will have more of that this year.” Michael says there will be a strong emphasis on the “Classics” or abridged classics to supplement the school’s character education program. “You can learn a lot from the characters in classic literature on how to be or not to be,” he said. Michael also likes projects especially science projects. “Project work has ongoing events that students keep up with that requires them to think about how the project will end. The fun is getting there and working as a team with other students,” he explained. Michael is excited about the new teachers and what they can bring to the school. He would also like for the school to provide opportunities for the community
even if they do not have kids. Adult classes such as Spanish, creative writing, or reading are a possibility. Events open to the public will be scheduled. “We are working with an astronomy group in Tucson to have a ‘Star Night’ in September,” Michael said. Other events from time to time will be scheduled and posted on the school website: www. sierraoaksschool.com. The school would also like to see the community get involved as volunteers. They are always in need of skilled workers to help with maintenance or small construction projects. Lunch time volunteers, guest speakers, skill sharing volunteers, field trip chaperones, class room or office volunteers, and tutors for the kids are always needed. The Sierra Oaks School is hosting a “Back to School Fun Night” on Thursday, July 28, from 5-8 p.m. at the school. The community is invited to meet the new Director Michael Hart and the staff. There will be food, fun and games with a special surprise from the Phoenix Science Museum. Come out and welcome Michael Hart to the community. School will begin Aug. 5.
By Jennifer R. Carnes Despite a budget shortfall of $170,000 and two budget meetings, several members of the Mammoth Town Council were surprised that the tentative budget approved by the majority of the council at the June meeting included a property tax increase. “We didn’t put it on the budget,” said Councilman Al Barcelo, when the Truth in Taxation Public Hearing began at 7 p.m. on Thursday. “First time I’ve heard of it too,” said Councilman Rudy Romo. Town Clerk Rachelle Sanchez explained to the council and members of the public attending the hearing that the increase in the property tax rate was expected to generate approximately $10,000 for the Town of Mammoth’s General Fund. Vice Mayor Frances Wickham told fellow council members that she was told that raising the property taxes was up to the council and if they chose not to do the increase that it was their prerogative. The increase, Sanchez explained, was included in material that was covered during the two budget workshops. “It’s always been in there,” she said. “It was not snuck in there.” Mayor Craig Williams agreed. “We adopted that as part of the tentative budget,” Williams said. In the legally prescribed advertisement in the San Manuel Miner, it was reported that the proposed tax rate would increase to $2.6295 per $100 assessed value from $1.8193. For a home with an assessed value of $100,000, taxes were expected to increase from $181.93 to $262.95. This number was mentioned by several council members as well as members
of the audience. Sanchez pointed out that there aren’t many homes in Mammoth, if any at all, with an assessed value of $100,000. Most homes, she said, would only see an actual increase of $10 per year on their taxes. The revenues expected to come from the increase was minimal. When the hearing was over and it came time to approve the budget and tax levy, the meeting nearly came to a screeching halt. The initial motion to approve the budget died for lack of a second. Three of the council members present wanted to have additional hearings on the property tax levy. By law, the council was expected to approve the final budget before July 31. Any public hearings on property taxes must be advertised in the paper of record for two consecutive times. Sanchez, finally, provided an “out” for the council: approve the budget with the tax increase, but when it comes time to approve the proposed increases to town utilities (water, sewer and trash pickup), the council could choose not to make those increases. The increases to those revenues, she explained, were not included in the timesensitive budget and could be put on hold until the next round of budgeting. With this suggestion in mind, the council moved, seconded and unanimously approved the budget and property tax levy for the Fiscal Year 2011-2012, which officially began July 1. Open Meeting Law Violations The Mammoth Town Attorney, Tresa Georgini, informed the board that the Arizona State Attorney General had received four complaints alleging Open Meeting Law violations by the Mammoth Council.
Assistant Attorney General Ron Aschenbach had sent a letter to Georgini asking that she address the matter with the council. The four complaints, she said, had not shown any real violations of the Open Meeting Law. However, reviewing the documents did show that there were other matters of concern and violations of the OML. Aschenbach first called into question the practice of having members of the public sign in before the meeting. Whether or not it is a mandatory requirement to participate in the meeting, there is a perceived requirement – possibly having a “chilling” effect on members of the public. “People do not want to attend as much when a sign-in sheet is involved,” Aschenbach wrote. Aschenbach also was concerned that the council agendas do not have sufficient detail to let the public know what will be discussed at the meeting, the descriptions being vague listing a grant for example, but not saying which grant will be discussed. The worst of the violations, Aschenbach reported, concerned the Jan. 20, 2011, council meeting. During the executive session, which was supposed to be for discussion and/or action regarding legal advice with an attorney, no actual legal advice was sought during the executive session. Instead the council discussed police department matters and announced that the police chief had resigned. “The executive session was in violation of the open meeting law since the discussion should have occurred in open meeting and not in executive session,” Aschenbach said. Since the violations were found, the State Attorney General requested that the Mammoth Council

Increased property taxes, Open Meeting Law violations top concerns at Mammoth Council meeting acknowledge the violations, agree to receive at least three hours of training regarding the OML and that the town’s attorney be required to independently review all notices, agendas and meeting minutes before posting for the
next year. The council accepted the recommendations and requested that a resolution be drawn up to make it official at the next meeting. Future Meeting The next regular meeting of
the Mammoth Town Council is set for August 11 at 7 p.m. at the Mammoth Town Council Chambers. A public hearing to discuss proposed increases to sewer, water and trash rates has been scheduled for the same time.
Two arrested in Gardner Middle School break in During a security check at Gardner Middle School on July 14, two PCSO deputies observed an opened door leading into gymnasium. Deputies found that someone had completely expelled a fire
extinguisher throughout the gym. The extinguisher had been removed from the boy’s the locker room. Several light bulbs were also removed and broken. During the investigation,
school maintenance staff alerted deputies that two males were seen pulling on exterior doors prior to the break-in. Staff identified the two males as Isaiah Austin, 19, and See Arrests, Page 2

Mary (Cardell) Dungan was to travel with her nephew, Alan Wright, and sister, Lola McGovern of Oracle, to California where she was able to spend a few days visiting with her brother, Dock Cardell and his family as well as a niece, Dolly, and other family members, some of them she hadn’t seen in years. Another trip was to Thatcher to visit her sister Mattie which she really enjoyed. Another highlight was a large family gathering and dinner at Lupe’s in her honor for her 85th birthday, a big surprise for Mary, and engineered by her brother Bobby! She had a great sense of humor, often playing funny tricks on and teasing people. She often commented that she was so glad that she returned to Arizona to spend time with her family, because she got to be near them before they passed away, and she got to know some of her nieces and nephews and their families better. Her brother, Dock, preceded her in death on July 10 in California. They were born two days apart in June (different years) and passed within a day of each other! Mary was preceded in death by her parents; her son, Jimmy; husbands, Carl, Harvey and Bill; brothers, Buck (Murel Eugene), Charles, Dock, Billy and Johnny Cardell; sisters, Ursie Uvalde, Mildred and Opal.

Continued from Page 1 William Hyde, 18. On July 15, deputies made contact with Austin at his home. The deputy requested Austin to accompany him back to the PCSO substation for questioning to which Austin agreed. During the interview, Austin admitted to going into the school with Hyde through a door that was propped open by a rock. He also admitted to expelling the fire extinguisher, removing fluorescent light bulbs and breaking them
outside the school. When asked by the deputy why the two decided to break in and damaged school property, Austin said, “It’s San Manuel, it’s boring here.” Austin was then taken into custody. On July 16, Hyde was located at his residence and also interviewed by a PCSO deputy. Hyde admitted his involvement and was also taken into custody. Austin and Hyde were booked into the Pinal County Adult Detention Center for one count each of aggravated criminal damage/defacing of a school, trespassing and third degree burglary.

Guest Editorial: The $206,098,920 Endangered Species Act Settlement Agreements: is all that paperwork worth it? By Karen Budd-Falen The headlines question whether Congress and the President can make an agreement on raising the debt ceiling or will America stop paying military servicemen and social security recipients. I have a solution to the dilemma .... On July 12, the Justice Department and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (“FWS”) announced “an historic agreement” which will require the American taxpayers to pay $206,098,920, just to process the paperwork, deciding whether to include over 1000 plants, bugs, worms, and other assorted creatures on the Endangered Species list. None of this money goes to on-the-ground conservation; this taxpayer funding is just to process petitions filed by only two,out of dozens,of radical environmental groups who think newts and moths are more important than the elderly or our children. The average social security beneficiary makes $21,600 a
Pinal County Sheriff’s Office employees receive Lifesaving and Purple Heart Awards at an Arizona D-backs Game For a second year in a row, the Arizona Diamondbacks Baseball organization partnered with the Pinal County Sheriff’s Office to commend the heroic and lifesaving actions of many Pinal County Sheriff’s Office employees. The award ceremony took place Friday, July 22, on the field before the Arizona Diamondbacks took on the Colorado Rockies, near home plate, in front of the hometown fans of the Arizona Diamondbacks and 2,000 Pinal County Sheriff’s Office employees and family members in attendance. The game started at 6:40 pm. The Pinal County Sheriff’s Office Honor Guard presented our national colors at 6:30 p.m. “Everyday men and women of law enforcement across our great nation risk their lives so that all of us can be safe,” said Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu. “I am very proud to honor these award recipients for their bravery and selfless acts of courage. My deputies are not only enforcers of the law, but also protectors and lifesaving heroes. This is our way of thanking all of our employees for the outstanding work they do day in and day out for the citizens of Pinal County.” Members of the media were welcomed to interview the employees following the award ceremony. Additionally, the victim who Deputy Erickson saved and his wife were asked to come to the ceremony to personally thank him. Fellow award recipients for a Life Saving Medal were Deputy Doug Peoble, Deputy Art Carillo, Officer Jacob Robinson and Sergeant Mark Tercero, for their actions on Dec. 9, when members of the Pinal County Regional SWAT Team executed a high-risk search warrant on a residence in Coolidge. A male suspect at the location was involved with the sales of methamphetamine and heroin, as well as involved with a murder-for-hire plot. Upon seeing the SWAT Team, the suspect barricaded himself inside of the residence and lit it on fire. Flames were visible both inside and outside of the residence. The suspect began to scream for help. SWAT Team members Peoble, Carillo, Robinson, and Tercero disregarded their own safety and pulled the suspect from the burning structure saving his life. Their brave and selfless actions without a doubt saved the man from burning to death. It is for this reason each of them was awarded the Life Saving Medal. On February 3, Deputy Robert Taylor saved the life of an eightmonth-old infant and 45 minutes later the life of an 83-year-old man. The parents of the eight-monthold child made a frantic 911 call, when their child stopped breathing. Deputy Taylor responded within minutes and conducted Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) See Awards, Page 10
year and a basic military recruit makes a little over $15,000 per year. Our elected officials are contemplating not paying these Americans while the Justice Department is readily agreeing to spend an average of $100,690 per individual species listing and $345,000 per individual proposed critical habitat designation for over 1053 creatures. And to add insult to injury, the Justice Department has agreed that these two groups “prevailed” in the litigation and will pay their attorney fees in an amount that has not been disclosed. Has America lost its collective mind? These two settlement agreements are the culmination of what is known as the Endangered Species Act (“ESA”) multidistrict litigation. This case was formed in 2010 by combining 13 federal court cases filed by either the WildEarth Guardians (“WEG”) or the Center for Biological Diversity (“CBD”) regarding 113 species. On May 10, 2011, the FWS announced its settlement agreement, with the WEG with the promise that the agreement would help the FWS“prioritize its workload.” That settlement agreement was opposed by the CBD who wanted other species added to the list. The Justice Department obliged the requests of the CBD and on July 12, 2011 filed the second agreement, now
pending before the District of Columbia Federal District Court, that would require the FWS to make 1201 decisions on proposed listing and critical habitat designations for 1053 species. The reason that these two number are different is because for some of the species, the FWS is committed to make more than one decision. The total cost to the American public for the FWS completing all this paperwork is $206,098,920, all by FY 2016. These settlement agreements are being touted by the FWS as a “catalyst to move past gridlock and acrimony” to enable the FWS to “be more effective in both getting species on the endangered species list and working with our partners to recover those species.” Really? How can that be, considering the requirements of the agreements and the state of the American budget? For example: The settlement agreements only include two of the numerous radical environmental groups that have sued over the Endangered Species Act to force more species listings and critical habitat designations. This agreement does nothing to stop the National Wildlife Federation from filing more federal court litigation over species such as the Northern
Grey wolf; nor does it include Western Watersheds Project’s litigation related to the sage grouse. The Sierra Club is not bound by this settlement agreement and neither is the Natural Resources Defense Council, nor the Environmental Defense Fund. Between 2000 and 2010, 455 lawsuits were filed by environmental groups against the FWS alone. It is hard to move past “gridlock” when only two of the numerous groups causing the gridlock are willing to move out of the way (sort of). The settlement agreements require the FWS to work on a very strict time schedule. At least 94 decisions have to be made by FY 2011 and 61 decisions are to be completed by the end of FY 2012. The entire list of 1205 decisions have to be made by FY 2016. According to a FWS Federal Register notice published November 10, 2010, it costs the agency and the taxpayer a median of $39,276 per species just to make a “90 day finding” regarding whether the FWS should even continue with a scientific review; $100,690 per species for the FWS to make a listing decision; $345,000 for each proposed critical habitat designation and an additional $305,000 for the FWS to make a final critical habitat designation. Multiplying the FWS’s own numbers by the
actions for each species in the settlement agreements brings the cost of the settlement agreements to the American taxpayer to a grand total of$206,098,920 — just to process the paperwork, that figure excludes the payment of attorney fees to the CBD and WEG. The amount of those payments has not been publicly released. What is even more distressing is that the settlement agreements go far outside the bounds of the original multidistrict litigation. The original litigation dealt with 133 species for which the Justice Department agreed that the FWS had failed to follow the procedural ESA requirements. In contrast, the settlement agreements expanded that number to include 1053 species; 940 of which were not part of a federal court complaint. How can the FWS with any conscience agree to this expansion? Even more unconscionable is the way the FWS press release describes the settlement agreements. According to the FWS announcement, the settlement agreements and work plan “will enable the agency [FWS] to systematically, over a period of six years, review and address the needs of more than 250 candidate species to determine if they should be added” to the ESA list. But look at the list attached
to the settlement agreements and read the settlement agreements themselves. The official species list that has to be considered contains 1053 species, which is 76% more than admitted by the FWS. While technically 1053 species is “more than”250 candidate species, my children would not get away with that kind of creative factual accounting. The bottom line analysis of the multidistrict settlement agreements is this —the Justice Department and FWS agreed to two settlement agreements that represent an 89% increase over the number of species included in the original litigation; that commits the FWS to spend over $206,000,000 over the next six years to do the paperwork on 1053 bugs, worms and grasses that two radical groups think are more important than humans in all 50 states;to add to an ESA list that already includes over 2000 species when only 10 have been removed from the list since twas passed in 1969;and the Justice Department has agreed to pay the attorney fees to the two groups for suing in the first place. I would argue that$206,098,920 plus added attorney fees payments would pay a lot of benefits to deserving Americans including those who are serving this Country. That is where my tax dollars should go.
Editor, San Manuel Miner: There are no words to describe the Mammoth Town Council meeting that was held this past Thursday. I am appalled by the behavior of Council Members Frances Wickham, Alvaro Barceló and Rudy Romo! Meeting after meeting these three have been disrespectful and well as downright mean to Department Heads. Who do they think they are? They come in once a month and are supposed to make final decisions on town matters. Instead they use the Council meetings to show their ignorance. The budget meeting is a good example. The questions they asked about the
property tax increases showed just how much they don’t know, although they sit up there pretending they do. How could they not know what this was about? This is the backbone of why they sit up there. Did I hear correctly: they had two budget workshops? Yet they failed to question why there was an increase on the property tax! Then because of their inability to understand the budget forms that were given to them, they blamed the clerk. Although the three of them try to find errors in her work, when questioned she has always given the answers and has been professional, unlike the three council members and
their entourage. I encourage the good members of this community to attend these meetings to see what those few are trying to do to the Town. The Council didn’t vote the way these few wanted them to so now they want to recall those Council members. With the town’s financial situation is this really what we need to be doing with the little revenue we have? When there are so many repairs the town needs? What are you going to do if the people you want in there don’t vote in your favor? Are you going to call for another recall? Month after month Wickham, Barcelo, and Romo claim that they are there to do what is in the best for this town. I disagree; they are there to destroy what’s left of this
town. They have employees that are working there and have the best interest of the Town first and foremost. Why else would these employees put up with the disrespect of the Council? They don’t know how good they have it, having the staff they have. Who are they going to find, within the Town limits, that
have what it takes to keep the Town running with these three Council Members and their entourage consistently trying to underhand what they do? I want to thank those Town Council members who actually have the Town in their best interest and not some personnel agenda. /s/ Patricia Johnson

Harry Potter and the Deathly School starts Hallows, Part II: A movie critique Aug. 11 for
By Alicia Sanchez Bristow I recently attended the preview of the last Harry Potter 3D movie courtesy of the Arizona Daily Star (contest). Accompanying me was Karen Medley, retired San Manuel art teacher. The first thing we noticed was the age group of movie goers; they were adults, like us. The smell of theater popcorn is always an exhilarating smell and as we waited in line to enter, we had the opportunity to speak with many Harry Potter fans. Directly behind us was a couple. The husband was a tall burley guy wearing his “Veteran” military baseball cap. He definitely didn’t look like the Harry Potter type. I am surmising that his wife, a spunky fun-chatting lady must have convinced him to accompany her to the movies. After waiting for one hour to enter, our winning documents were scanned and we entered the very large El Con Theater
for the 7 p.m. showing. Excitement was in the air. True to character the actors did not let us down; it was the final battle of good against evil. Decked out in 3D Harry Potter glasses we laughed, cheered, and cried with a sense that we were part of the final curtain that would be lowered on this remarkable tale which finalizes with Harry Potter learning many truths. Lessons demonstrated through the movie were: Things are not always what they seem, friendship is a very powerful, good does triumph over evil, and it is important to never lose hope. While the movie was intense, periodic cheers and laughter filled our ears as we too applauded for our favorite heroes. It is not the intent to give away the plot, but to give readers a feel for the intensity of the movie should they decide to go see it. Karen and I thoroughly enjoyed
the movie and we left relishing our “Harry Potter 3D glasses” as our memento of the evening. For those of you who enjoy flight of the
imagination and whimsical fantasy instead of the nudity and bad language this is a must see movie. We give it A++.

Stakes are high for kindergartners: is your child ready? As thousands of Arizona kids start kindergarten over the next few weeks, they face high expectations and a state ultimatum: learn to read by the end of third grade or be held back. The class of 2024 is the second class of kindergartners subject to the new requirement, approved in 2010 by the state Legislature. “As parents and caregivers, we are counting on Arizona schools to help our children meet those high expectations,” said Rhian Evans Allvin, Chief Executive Officer of First Things First. “But, there are many things that we can do – every day at home – to help prepare our children for success in kindergarten and beyond.” It’s never too early to start. Research shows that 90% of a child’s brain develops by age 5. The experiences a child has during that critical time shape the foundation for a lifetime of learning. Kids who have positive experiences from birth and leading up to kindergarten are more likely to do well in school, graduate and go on to college. Gathering information from a variety of early childhood and parenting resources, FTF has developed tip sheets for
parents to help them prepare their kids in the weeks leading up to and on the first day of school. With just a few weeks remaining before the start of kindergarten, the tips range from making sure kids are caught up on all their medical and dental check-ups to practicing new routines and reducing first day anxiety. “Being prepared means that the child comes to school ready to succeed; they are meeting or exceeding typical developmental milestones for a child their age and they have a desire to learn,” said Jolene Mutchler, a preschool teacher who also is a member of the First Things First Central Pima Regional Partnership Council. By contrast, children who are not prepared when they enter school face challenges from the start, said Mutchler, who has worked with children 5 and younger for a decade. These children must first play “catch up” in order to be able to absorb the rigorous curriculum of kindergarten. They often display more acting out behavior due to frustration and require more teacher attention to manage and educate, which often detracts from their peers, See Kindergarten, Page 5

Local teams compete during Tobler Combine in Superior On Saturday, July 23, several local football teams converged on Superior to compete in the Tobler Combine Challenge, sponsored by Tobler Physical Therapy. Teams from Superior, Ray, San Manuel and San Carlos came together at Superior Junior-Senior High School competing in bench press for reps, squat for reps, medicine ball throw, vertical jump, standing long jump, 40 yard dash and two timed agility drills with cones. Dr. Amit Sahasrabudhe, an orthopedic surgeon from the AZ Sports Medicine Center, who works with the Arizona Cardinals, was on hand to help out during the event. The San Manuel team took first place, winning the grand prize of a package of Gatorade
products totaling more than $500. The second place team was San Carlos, earning around $200 in Gatorade products. Every participant and coach received a Gatorade water bottle and Tobler Combine T-Shirt; the shirts were donated by Steve Tobler of Tobler Physical Therapy in Mesa, who helped sponsor the event and were printed by Chris Ronquillo of Miner Creations in San Manuel. The boys from Superior came in a very close third, just barely missing out on the prizes. They lost out in the tug-o-war to San Carlos, who was beaten by San Manuel to win first place. The talented athletes from Ray came in fourth in the competition. Everyone had fun.
Patrick Castillo, who organized the event, explained, “My staff was very happy with the attitude and the manners that the student athletes had. I really enjoyed the smiling faces and the competition.” He wanted to thank everyone for their help, but especially Billy Duarte and Coach Ryan Palmer. “I couldn’t have pulled this off without Coach Palmer,” he said. Patrick will be doing game coverage for most of the home football games in Superior this year. Following the event, participants ate burgers and hot dogs paid for by the Superior Chamber of Commerce and Superior High Football and many ended the day with a dip in the pool to cool off.
By Mila Lira Copper prices remain on an upswing in last month’s Mining Report we reported that Copper was being sold at $4.12 a pound the current price is listed at $4.41 a pound. That is a 29 cent increase. Freeport McMoran Freeport McMoran is reporting that Morenci, FCX completed its project to ramp up mining rates to 635,000 metric tons of ore per day and milling rates to approximately 50,000 metric tons per day, resulting in an increase of 125 million pounds of copper per year. FCX is advancing a feasibility study to expand mining and milling capacity at Morenci to process additional sulfide ores identified through positive exploratory drilling over the last few years. This project, which would require significant investment, would increase milling rates to approximately 115,000 metric tons of ore per day and target incremental annual copper production of approximately 225 million pounds within three years, following completion of the feasibility study, expected by year-end 2011. The ramp up of mining activities at the Miami mine continues. FCX expects production at Miami to ramp up to approximately 100 million pounds of copper per year by 2012. Freeport -McMoRan Environmental The Arizona Department of Environmental Quality and
Arizona Attorney General’s Office announced recently that Freeport-McMoRan Morenci Inc. has agreed to a $150,000 settlement for releasing 168,000 gallons of sulfuric acid and heavy metals from a pipeline into Lower Chase Creek, a tributary of the San Francisco River. Freeport-McMoRan will pay a $75,000 penalty and complete a supplemental environmental project valued at $75,000 as part of a consent judgment in Maricopa County Superior Court for water quality violations caused by the Oct. 30, 2008, spill from its Morenci copper mine in Greenlee County. The supplemental environmental project agreed to by Freeport McMoRan includes conducting one or more household hazardous waste collection events for residents within Graham or Greenlee counties at dates and locations to be announced. Freeport McMoRan’s Morenci facility discharged the highly corrosive acidic solution directly into Lower Chase Creek from a storm water pipe. The material traveled downstream for a distance of more than two miles, passing through areas of the creek publicly accessible from both Morenci and Clifton. The discharge occurred after one of Freeport McMoRan’s contractors incorrectly connected an
electrolyte solution pipeline into a pipeline dedicated to transporting storm water through the mine. The pollutants in the discharge exceeded Arizona surface water quality standards for copper, zinc and pH in Lower Chase Creek. The company’s Aquifer Protection Permit and Arizona Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit do not authorize the release of these substances into the environment. After becoming aware of the spill, Freeport McMoRan acted to mitigate environmental impacts by constructing a series of four temporary earthen check dams, which stopped the discharge only 120 feet upstream from the confluence of the San Francisco River, which was flowing at the time. In the hours and days following the spill, Freeport McMoRan also minimized the potential impact to the aquifer by recovering 93,000 gallons of discharged liquids and removing 85,000 tons of contaminated sediment from the creek bed. “The spill jeopardized the safety of the public who use Lower Chase Creek and impacted its delicate environment. Fortunately, no injuries were reported and Freeport McMoRan acted appropriately to minimize risk to the public and the environment through its quick remediation activities,” ADEQ Director Henry

Continued from Page 4 Mutchler said. Parents can help by making sure their children have positive experiences in the critical years between birth and 5 years old. “Students who have spent time in quality early learning environments – whether school, childcare or home – have had learning experiences thru exploration and play that prepare their minds and hands for K-12 academics,” Mutchler said. Parents should look for early learning environments that have a low ratio of children to caregivers, teachers who are highly trained, a teaching curriculum focuses on literacy and language development, and safe classrooms with lots of books and toys appropriate to the child’s age. At home, parents should focus on reading, talking and playing with their children as much as possible. The First Things First website also offers parents tips on what they can do at home during different stages of their child’s development to promote learning. First Things First expands services that help kids birth to 5 prepare for success in school. Funded programs support parents in their role as a child’s first teachers; promote early literacy; improve the quality of child care settings; increase the professional skills of those working with the youngest kids; expand access to preschool services; and, enhance the availability of a myriad of preventive medical and dental services for children statewide.

Darwin said. Darwin also said he was pleased that Freeport McMoRan would be conducting household hazardous waste collection events in the area as part of the settlement. “The company has taken its environmental obligations at its Morenci Mine seriously, including the protection of human health and the environment in Arizona, by offering local residents upcoming events in Graham and Greenlee counties to safely dispose of electronic waste, refrigerators, waste tires and household hazardous waste,” Darwin said. “I am appreciative of Freeport McMoRan’s quick response in cleaning up this spill,” Attorney General Tom Horne said. “Mining companies need to rigorously comply with state standards to protect the health of our citizens and our environment.” The consent judgment is subject to court approval.

quality, Maguire has been hired to help advance the company’s commitment to responsible mineral development. A longtime Arizona resident, Maguire’s career spans the private, nonprofit and public sectors. Maguire served as Director of the Arizona Department of Water Resources from 1993 through 2001. During her tenure as Director, Maguire represented the state’s interests in the Colorado River Basin, was a key figure in the development of the Arizona Water Bank Authority, and played a central role in Native American water rights negotiations in Arizona. As Deputy Chief of Staff for Governor Fife Symington, Maguire oversaw the operation of the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality and the State Land Department. Tombstone Mining Tombstone Mining has renewed all of its State Exploration Permits in the Tombstone Mining District and they have been executed and finalized by the Arizona State Land Department. The renewals encompass five sections, totaling approximately 2,600 acres in the Tombstone Mining District. These sections are underlain principally by the Bisbee Group sediments and metasediments that have been highly productive in both the Tombstone Mining District and in the Warren (Bisbee) Mining District, Arizona. Resolution Copper The Southeast Arizona Land Exchange and Conservation Act Bill received a hearing by the full House Natural Resources Subcommittee on National Parks, Forests and Public Lands. The full House of Representatives is expected to vote on the bill before the August Congressional recess. The vote could be delayed due to the current debate on the National Debt Ceiling. It was reported at a recent Superior Town Council meeting that Resolution Copper currently is employing a total of 520 employees: 135 are direct Resolution Copper Employees with the remaining 385 being employed by contractors.

We believe Copper Creek will be the cornerstone of significant new copper production operations in this part of Arizona and our plans are directed towards this goal.” In order for Redhawk to move forward with their development they have added six new geologists to their team in addition to their consultants. They will continue to add consultants and other professionals as needed. Recently they have completed a number of the main environmental reviews, and received the necessary Aquifer Protection Permit (APP). They are working to complete the environmental review for all biological and cultural aspects on the rest of the property to ensure that there is full access for operations. They have also completed the rights of way to provide commercial access and routes for services to the Copper Creek on seven of the ten miles of roads. Right of way completion is expected to be completed in December 2011. Redhawk has moved into a permanent office and core storage facility in San Manuel, Arizona that will accommodate the development of the Copper Creek Mine.

Library Lines: Mammoth Library Hosts Teen Lock-in By Diana Stirling Mammoth Public Library is gearing up for participation in the Teen Lock-in on Friday, August 5, from 6 to 10 p.m. Kids from 11 to 17 are invited to join us as we have fun with friends far and near. Thirtyeight libraries in the U.S. and Canada are participating in the event. Our kids will be locked into the library where we’ll enjoy food, online and in-house games, an online interview with teen author Gabrielle Zevin, crafts, and generally raising a ruckus. Space is limited. To participate you must preregister. If you’ve already registered, be sure to stop by the library this week and pick up an information sheet and permission slip. If you haven’t registered yet, what are you waiting for? Our book club is reading These Is My Words by Nancy
Turner. This is an historical novel set in the Arizona Territory in the late 1800s. If you’ve read the book or you just want to learn more about it, please join us on Saturday, July 30, at 11 a.m. Don’t forget that our hours are changing on August 1. Although we’ll be closed on Thursdays, we’ll still be open 20 hours per week. The new hours are Monday 4-8, Tuesday and Wednesday 12-6, and Saturday 9-1. Remember that you can search the catalog, place holds, and renew items from any computer that has Internet access. We’ll be happy to show you how. For more information about any of our programs, or for help signing up to write online movie and book reviews, contact us at 520-487-2026 or come by the library, 125 Clark Street (in the basement of Town Hall) in Mammoth.

CHANecdote #6: Teaching, Toes, and Dirty Clothes Dear Friends and Family, My second week in Bulgaria was definitely a busy one, hence the reason my blog has been silent for the last week. And so now this weary traveler sits curled up in the warm serenity of a feather bed in a Sofia hotel for a couple of days . . . resting, rejuvenating, and considering the next phase of this grand adventure. However, before I move on to whatever comes next on this journey, I wanted to make a few comments about some of the experiences last week brought for me. Montessori Children’s House – Sofia,
Bulgaria: Yesterday and today were quite literally “days of rest” after a busy week helping my friend Diana at her wonderful little Montessori preschool. Diana is a hard worker and a great teacher and she started this little school . . . I was thrilled to get to experience it, give them a hand, and learn about new methods of education all the while. The children at the school were smart and adorable and I was amazed at their capacity to speak and understand English (the school is an English-speaking school, even though
Chantel and her friend Diana.
most of the children are Bulgarian) and some of them were a little wary of this new, strange American entering their little school. I knew I was in for it when, on my first day there, one little girl kindly informed me in English, “I don’t like you.” I spent the week pushing swings, engaging the children in great conversations, observing little minds at work as the children explored their learning environment, teaching the children new songs and stories, chasing after little ones until my head spun, making some of the youngest toddlers burst into terrified tears every time I so much as looked at them, and then crashing out dead to the world every night after very busy days. The children loved some of the new songs I taught them and they especially loved this “magical paper story” I am fond of telling in which I fold a piece of paper into many different objects as I tell the story . . . they begged for that story, many times in a row, all week and I think I must have told it at least 100 times! It was fun, although now the quiet seems strange . . . PEDICURES – Bulgarian Style!!! And then, after a busy week at the Montessori school, Diana treated me to my first Bulgarian pedicure. I sunk my feet into that foot bath like a pig ready to gorge on a trough full of fresh slop. Water sloshing, feet quivering with unadulterated excitement, toes doing a “happy dance” the moment they sunk to the bottom of the scintillating
water. The vibrations from the foot bath coursed through my entire body and I knew I was in trouble when the latex gloves were strapped on and the heavy artillery came out to smooth and scrub my poor, mangled feet. My throbbing heals shouted with joy as the little twirly thing danced across them . . . you see, my heals have NOT been the same since March, when my dear friend Sarah “made me” walk up one side of Disneyland and down the other for 15 hours straight. As my feet danced for joy, the pedicure girl was bent in deep concentration over the altar that was my foot bath. It took years for her to pry the old polish off of my toe nails, which was apparently super glued on them. And, as the old polish finally eased its way off and my toe nails finally made an appearance, I was pleased to discover . . . . a fresh layer of good old Bulgarian Dirt embedded within the filthy nails. What can I say?! Many a cobblestone street have I tread! So, the pedicure girl dug in, her head still bent in deep concentration (focused on my glorious feet), scraping out and scraping off two weeks worth of Bulgarian dirt and callouses. I was shocked, horrified, and dismayed when she began cutting the toe nails (with a chain saw) and nails were flying everywhere . . . some even making a nice little home on the pedicure girl’s gray sweat pants. What can I say? I forgot to bring my toenail clippers to Bulgaria! However, my feet certainly left the Pedicure Place feeling
fresh, happy, clean, and as smooth as a baby’s bottom!!! Washing Off the Glorious GRIME!!! So, the last couple of days have entailed resting, rejuvenating, and trying to figure out the next phase of this adventure. But, in the meantime, all of my clothes STUNK to high heaven . . . literally. So, I decided to spend a couple of days at a hotel that has a laundry service, only to discover that said “laundry service” is outrageously expensive! So, I decided to resort to “the good old days” and just wash everything by hand. It brought back memories of my days in the Peace Corps when I would wear clothes until they were basically brown and black shreds of limp fabric, the perfume that I wore was that ripe scent of a Peace Corps Volunteer (“Eau de Peace Corps”), and I would then spend an entire day washing, rinsing, wringing, and hanging piles of laundry. In the winter, my clothes would freeze on the clothes line (so frozen they would stand up straight on their own!) and come in stinking like a Bulgarian dumpster because Bulgarians would often throw hot coals from their fires into the dumpsters, setting everything inside ablaze and creating a lovely “Dumpster Smoke”. The hot water was also always very limited, so, when my parents came to visit me and decided to help out by doing my laundry, the three of us all managed to bathe and wash loads of laundry in the same tub of water. So,
as I piled my stinking clothes into my hotel tub the other night and filled the sinks with my underwear, my mother kindly reminded me via “Chat” that I am not in the Peace Corps anymore and that I didn’t have to bathe in my laundry water . . . thanks for the reminder, Mom! I got on my hands and knees like “the good old days” scrubbing and pulling and twisting and wringing. The water instantly turned a nice shade of brownish-black and my fingers shriveled into little prunes. I decorated my nice hotel room with dripping shirts, pants, socks, and underwear . . . for a moment, I thought it was raining inside the room as I surrounded myself in drips and drops. I washed every shred of clothing that I brought to Bulgaria with me, so you can imagine (or try NOT to imagine!) what I’ve had to “wear” the last couple of days! My hotel room looks like it was either invaded by a nudist colony or a rock band . . .but, “Mission Accomplished” is all I can say. At least my clothes (and my underwear) smell a little bit better. And so the journey continues . . . . . Footloose and Fancy Free, Chantel Editor’s Note: Chantel has started a daily blog to document her time in Bulgaria. If you wish to read about her adventures, head over to this website: http://chantelsloan.wordpress. com. Chantel teaches kindergarten at Oracle Ridge Elementary School in Oracle.

he saw a home fully engulfed in flames. He drove towards the fire and stopped at the residence to make sure everyone had exited. A female resident told him, her elderly father was still inside of the home. Without hesitation, Detective Westerfield ran into the burning home, ignoring the obvious dangers and potential harm to himself. He found the 78-yearold man disoriented and still trying to salvage personal property. With great urgency, Detective Westerfield grabbed hold of the man and tried to get him out of the home. Smoke and flames blocked their exit through the doors so he extricated the man through a side window. The man was treated at the scene by medical personnel and then taken to a local hospital. While off duty, Detective Westerfield risked his life to save the life of a man he didn’t know. It is for this reason he has been awarded a Life Saving Medal. Deputy Darin Erickson, on
June 16, responded to a call of a 76-year-old male subject who had stopped breathing. Deputy Erickson arrived within minutes and immediately began performing life saving measures on the subject. He used an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) and also Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and within minutes the subject began to breathe. He was transported to a local hospital where he made a full recovery. Had it not been for the quick response and actions of Deputy Erickson medical staff advised the subject would have died. It is for this reason he has been awarded a Life Saving Medal. Detention Officer Roman Salazar was attacked by an inmate on April 17. The inmate was ordered released from custody by a judge after serving time for an outstanding probation violation warrant. While waiting in the booking area to be released, the inmate without any provocation attacked Detention Officer Roman Salazar. Officer Salazar was hit in the face as he was walking by the inmate. He had no time to react to the vicious attack. Once knocked down to the ground, the inmate continued to punch and kick him. Officer Salazar was able to get to his feet and with the assistance of several other officers, the inmate was restrained. The inmate later told investigators he attacked the officer because he didn’t want to be released from custody because the drug cartels had placed a “hit” on his life. Officer Salazar had to undergo multiple surgeries as a result of his injuries. As a result of the serious injuries he sustained while in the performance of his duties, Detention Officer Salazar has been awarded the Purple Heart. On April 18, Deputy Heath Rankin attempted to stop a vehicle for speeding. The driver fled at speeds close to 100 mph. In an attempt to evade Deputy Rankin, the driver pulled into a hotel parking lot, lost control, and struck two vehicles
narrowly missed a family walking towards their vehicle. Four suspects fled on foot. Deputy Rankin was able to catch the one of the passengers who resisted arrest. The suspect fought with Deputy Rankin to avoid being arrested. Deputy Rankin was able to take him into custody despite the fact he received a broken hand during the fight. The vehicle contained more than 400 pounds of marijuana and was occupied by four illegal aliens. All four suspects were taken into custody and charged with various offenses. As a result of the injuries he sustained while in the performance of his duties, Deputy Heath Rankin has been awarded the Purple Heart. On July 9, Sergeant White responded to a call where a victim had been threatened by two male subjects with weapons. Upon approaching the suspect residence contact was made with a male subject who was not complying with law enforcement orders. The subject was taken down by Sergeant White and Sergeant Villegas and still was not complying with their orders. Another male subject appeared from near the residence and Sergeant White immediately engaged the subject ordering him to the ground. The subject did not comply with Sergeant Whites orders. Sergeant White took down the subject in attempt to secure him in hand cuffs. A dog came out from near the residence and began attacking Sergeant White. The suspect also attempted to take Sergeant White’s slung rifle. Sergeant White kicked the dog numerous times while still struggling to keep his weapon from the suspect. The incident came to a safe ending when a responding Sergeant neutralized the dog by shooting it. A total of 4 weapons were found inside the suspects residence. A rifle with a fully loaded magazine was found near the entrance to the residence where the suspects were originally seen. Sergeant White sustained multiple puncture wounds in and around his leg area. Sergeant White’s actions were exemplary and courageous while facing a difficult situation. His tenacity and dedication is a credit to the Pinal County Sheriff’s Office. Sergeant White’s actions clearly protected the citizens of Pinal County. It is for this reason, Sergeant white was awarded the Purple Heart. In June of 2009, Jennifer Foster joined the Pinal County Sheriff’s Office as the Public Safety Communications Center Manager. Since then, many improvements and successes have been recognized in the Communication Division, including employee morale and a focus on exceptional customer service. The Pinal County Sheriff’s Office Public Safety Communications Division team answers nearly one million calls from citizens and visitors each year. Since her arrival, responsiveness to 911 calls has improved by 23 percent. The Communications Division has become a leading resource to other Arizona Law Enforcement Agencies in ways such as policy, procedure, and training. As a subject matter expert, Jennifer has been called upon to teach leadership development to law enforcement leaders both in and out of state. It is for these reasons Jennifer was nominated for the very prestigious 2011 National Public Safety Communications Association Manager of the Year award by her employees and was selected by her peers from across the state and country.
Continued from Page 3 on the infant. The infant began to breathe on his own and was taken to a local hospital where he made a full recovery. The 83-year-old male had fallen into a 15-foot deep well. Deputy Taylor located the injured man after neighbors reported they could not find him. Deputy Taylor located a ladder and climbed down into the well to rescue the injured man. The man was barely conscious, suffering from frostbite, and was having difficulty breathing. Deputy Taylor was able to get the man out of the well and have medical personnel transported him to a local hospital. Deputy Taylor saved two lives in one day because of his quick instinctive actions. It is for these reasons he was awarded two Life Saving Medals. Detective Robert Westerfield was vacationing on May 12 when
