The right kind of economic development
Celebrating a Superior 4th of July on Main St.
By Lana Jones There’s not one right kind of economic development in a county as large as Pinal. Economic development has to be tailored to fit the ideals and resources of each community. Evelyn Casuga, co-chair of the Pinal Partnership economic development committee, said that everybody needs to realize that development can’t be approached in a single way. “People need to be very mindful of their specific needs and their specific areas,” she said. “It depends on where you are and it depends on how the communities have defined economic development for themselves.” Brian Tapp, executive director of the Central Arizona Association of Governments, also stressed the importance of a local development focus. “You’ve got to find what you’re niche is,” he said. “It may be a tourism site, it may be mining. Finding that niche and really promoting it is a great thing.” Tim Kanavel, county program manager for economic development, agreed that each region and economic development group needed to work on promotion. “We have got to do a better job of marketing,” he said. “We hear all the negative, but rarely does anybody ever here about the positive things we do in the county.” “Everybody has websites but you still have to get people
to look at the website,” said Kanavel. Promoting, and all economic development activities, take time to pay off though. Tapp said that people can’t expect immediate returns. “Folks look at return on investment too quickly on economic development,” he said. “A lot of times it’s a long process.” Kanavel also said it takes a while. “Economic development is not a sprint, it’s a long term marathon,” he said. The marathon might be faster won though, if economic development groups throughout the county shared their expertise with one another. The different groups, like the Copper Corridor Economic Development Coalition (CCEDC) and Superstition Area Networking and Development (SAND), have different focuses but also different strengths. “They just need to find a way to communicate what they need,” Kanavel said. “We all understand the we have to work together better.” Casuga said that if there was anything that the entire region and state could work on to further economic development, it was education. “The whole notion of a qualified workforce and training young people or retraining the workforce for jobs in the future,” she said. “Education offered has got to be the top of the list.”
Education is important because the county isn’t competing on only a local scale. “You have to really take a big picture approach to competitiveness,” Tapp said. “You’re really competing on a global playing field.” Kanavel agreed. “We’re competing at a global level for projects. We’re competing with Germany, Spain, and England,” he said. “We’ve got to compete at all levels. We are the third largest county now in the state. We are the largest rural county. Every rural county is looking to us,” said Kanavel. If the economic development groups and communities can find more ways to work together and help each other, we’ll be better placed to compete and succeed. “No one is in isolation out there,” Casuga said. “If one is isolated, you’ll miss out on what opportunities might be out there.” Kanavel commended the work economic development groups do for our communities. “I think it’s all tremendous,” he said. “We have somebody looking out for our best interest.” “One person in the county can’t do everything but we have these groups trying to make things better for us. They know that if you do nothing, nothing will happen.” “You just have to work at it,” he said. “You try to make a difference when you can.”
Discover Something! New program available for youth
The summer monsoons were not enough to keep folks away from Main Street and the July 4th celebration at Besich Park Monday. In spite of the cancelled fireworks (since Mother Nature was intent on having her own show), about 75-80 folks attended the annual event sponsored by the Town of Superior’s Parks and Recreation Department. Parks and Rec Director, Barbara Arriola, said that the kids attending played a lot of games, ate a lot of watermelon (courtesy of Save Money Market) and spent a lot of time sliding down the waterslide. Many prizes were awarded and folks attending were entertained by a DJ volunteer who expertly kept the music playing. Arriola had a couple of helpers who kept everything moving from the beginning until the wind blew everyone home: Christy Hayes, Karen Murrieta, Melodi Murrieta and Jewella Puentes all lent Barbara a hand (or two). Barbara gave all her helpers a heartfelt thanks! Go online to www. copperarea.com to see a slideshow from the Superior event. (John Hernandez photos)
By Taylor Sheaffer Ritter I spoke with Pete Casillas about the upcoming program The Discovery Core, quite simply because I wanted to know more about it. Pete has always been a wonderful gogetter in this small town of ours, always out to see how he can make things better for society as a whole. I figured that this would be a great opportunity to let him tell me and the rest of the town what the Discovery Core was all about. He explained to me that first and foremost, the program needs volunteers, badly…in order for the program to move forward, the town is requiring that there be a leadership committee that is dedicated. Pete really needs anyone willing to volunteer to commit to at least one hour a week; if they are able to commit more time, that would be excellent. So, at this point you are thinking ‘I don’t even know what I would be committing to’…let me get there.
VFW 3584 membership drive is underway The VFW 3584 George E. Truman Post is having a membership drive. They are looking for veterans, who have fought overseas, to join the Post as VFW members. They are also looking for family members of veterans to join the Ladies Auxiliary, and, wanting to get enough men to start a Men’s Auxiliary. The George E. Truman
has the prestigious honor of being an active post for 75 continuous years, and, on March 2012, it will be having its 75th anniversary celebration. Without members, the lifelines of the Post, though, there can be no Post and with the low membership there is a danger of it closing. Even those who are not Veterans or family members,
throughout the community, benefit from the Post through the various charitable activities and celebration events of the Veterans and the Ladies Auxiliary. Don’t let the Post close and lose out on this great benefit to the community and source of pride and comradeship in your service to your country. Anyone interested in joining the VFW, Ladies
Auxiliary or Men’s Auxiliary, please contact any of the following members: Carlis Gl Solis, Post Commander; Mike Urquijo, Post Quartermaster; Ray Ramirez, Past Post Commander; Debbie Townsend, President Ladies Auxiliary; Rene Risinger, Senior Vice President, Ladies Auxiliary; or Kimmi Minor, Secretary/Treasurer.
The Discovery Core program is based off a similar program in Switzerland, the closest example would be the Boy Scouts, yet in the Discovery Core, the program looks to challenge an individual mentally and physically while helping them develop a healthy personal view of themselves. Initially, this program was focused on males 13 years and older, yet when Pete told me this, my feminist side got a little upset and I said “What about the girls?” Here Pete explained that a curriculum for the ladies would hopefully be developed and I happily replied that I would be willing to help—this led Pete to announce a few hours later at the town meeting that I would be leading up the female portion of the program. Ahhem! Ohh, what the heck…I guess I am leading up the female portion of the curriculum; I am always happy to help the youth of Superior promote their better qualities and this is a great place to start. So naturally, especially now that I am (way) involved, I wanted to know more about this little project of ours. Pete smiled and went on to explain that the program begins with a notebooks, journal if you will, called the “Who am I and Why?” handbook; basically this book has a list of questions such as What is most important to me?, How do I view relationships?, questions about community and so forth. The children, now both boys and girls, are able to sit down and evaluate these questions at
the beginning of the program; then, six months later, they revisit these questions to look at how their answers have changed and thus their perception has changed. Sounds like a great start to awesome things, right? Pete explained that, primarily, the program will be focusing on getting the home base cleaned up, this being in the Roosevelt school, generously given access by the Town of Superior for use. Following this, they will move forward with the “Who am I and Why” handbook. The type of programs that will take place will be those that challenge the kids mentally and physically, so for instance there will be social programs, shall we say MacGyver-Style, where the kids are given a pile of objects and asked to create something useful from the detritus. The program wants to be an outlet for the youth to become involved in the community… so if there is an issue that the community is dealing with, say an excess of tires or a plot of unused land owned by the town, the Discovery Core will challenge the kids to come up with a plan for what can be done with the unused tires or how that plot of land can be utilized to benefit the community. Additionally, later in the program, the Discovery Core hopes to introduce cultural programs teaching kids that difference See Core, Page 4

Pinal Board adopts 2011-12 budget of $357 million, streamlines operations FLORENCE – The Pinal County Board of Supervisors has approved the final budget for fiscal year 2011-12, adopting a spending ceiling of $357 million. This is 17 percent lower than the authorized budget ceiling of $429.8 million for the fiscal year ending today. The reduction came as a result of budget cuts from each of Pinal County’s elected officials and county departments, County Manager Fritz Behring said. A large portion of the reduction is the result of the state privatizing the long-term care program. Behring said that all departments and elected officials shared in making strategic business decisions to reduce spending, eliminate certain programs and
streamline operations. The Board of Supervisors began the budget process with a bipartisan agreement that they would not increase the property tax rate. The average property valuation in Pinal is decreasing by about 16 percent, which means that nearly all county residents will experience a decrease in the amount of tax they pay to support county services. Only about 28 to 31 cents of each tax dollar is used for county services. The remaining portion goes to schools, special districts and municipalities. “I would like to go back to one of my original statements when we started this process,” Chairman Pete Rios said. “If the State Legislature left us alone we would be doing

I’m convinced the way we find our way out of these economic doldrums is by finding new manufacturing jobs for Pinal County. We need to find companies that will export our goods and bring in new jobs. I am convinced our Board of Supervisors is committed to that goal.” More detailed information, including presentations and summaries can be found on

The United Way of Pinal County and FamilyWize are proud to announce that their partnership has saved the people living and working in Pinal County more than $503,000 on everyday prescription costs. The free FamilyWize discount cards, distributed by United Way of Pinal County, are available to help the people in our community lower the cost of their medicine.
“No one should be forced to choose between paying for food, rent or medicine because of the high cost of prescriptions. That’s why we’ve partnered with FamilyWize to distribute free prescription discount cards to everyone in Pinal County,” said Beverly Prueter, Executive Director of United Way of Pinal County. Distributed through United Ways, the FamilyWize card
lowers the cost of medicine by an average of 30 percent or more for people without insurance or who take medications not covered by the insurance plan. It’s easy. It’s just like a coupon you can keep using every time you need to fill a prescription. All you have to do is present a FamilyWize card at a local pharmacy to get the savings. These cards can be used by everyone in the
community, not just people without insurance. They can even be used by people with health benefits, including Medicaid or Medicare. The card is easy to use and it’s free! Call the United Way office at 520-836-0736 for more information on how to get a card. Or, go to www. FamilyWize.org to print a card, look up drug prices and obtain a list of participating pharmacies.

The Evolution of Understanding Part Two: Review By Taylor Sheaffer Ritter Arizona School Board Policy SB 1308 requires that school boards review their current health curriculum and if it does not already include a definition of dating abuse, recognition of dating abuse warning signs, and characteristics of a healthy relationship, that they consider adding them to the curriculum. Additionally, the school boards are required to notify any local domestic violence organizations of the date and time of the public meeting at least two weeks prior. Under this law, the school board is required to conduct a public meeting, but they are not required to adopt any policy changes whatsoever; the law merely mandates a discussion and consideration of a dating abuse policy, but not the acceptance and approval of one. Any parent or guardian of a child under the age of 18 is allowed to submit a written request to the principal of the school their child is enrolled at, with this they will be permitted to review the dating abuse material within a reasonable amount of time following their request. Due to the advent of cell phones, smart phones, the internet, video games, mass media, et cetera, children have access to more sensitive information at a much younger age and at an age far below that which they have the correct ability/fully formed psyche to understand the information and consequences of utilizing it. The bill confirms that schools are readily able to handle the onslaught of information that their students now have access to. Additionally, it allows for students who may be experiencing new situations such as dating, friendships, the internet, be able to understand what is well within the bounds of normal and what is not. Just to be clear, following the public meeting and review of their current policy, if the school board feels they have an adequate curriculum, they do not have to adopt policy changes. Even if they school board does not have an adequate health curriculum and it is simply the mass opinion that their children do not need this additional education, the school board does not have to adopt any changes. It is simply required to review the current curriculum and consider the suggested changes. Schools that already had dating abuse as part of its curriculum were more than willing to add more. And schools that did not have dating abuse as part of the health curriculum were extensively reviewing its current curriculums and looking at the many options open to them for adding dating abuse into the health curriculum. Each appeared more than willing to update their curriculums so that their students had the appropriate information to help guide their decisions. So let’s look at why dating abuse should be included on the health curriculum. Not only does learning about dating abuse (in an ageappropriate manner) teach kids what to look out for in their dating lives, it teaches younger children how to access if they are in a healthy friendship. In addition, it allows for abstinence/sex education to be reviewed and the importance of weighing the consequences of your decisions. When you consider that human beings, for the most part, learn through experience, some students may not adequately understand that there is a problem with something they are experiencing. If you were raised believing that life originated on Jupiter, cows and dairy products come from the moon, that our planet is indeed flat or that Chihuahuas are actually ancient Greek gods—however ridiculous these sound, if you were raised to believe that, if you had never been given an alternate understanding, how would you know that there is not oxygen on the moon so cows, and by proxy, dairy products just aren’t happening up there? So if Sally is new in her first
relationship and relatively smitten with Jimmy, she may not understand that Jimmy texting her a record 156 times when she is hanging out with her friends for two hours is not normal. She may also not understand that Jimmy telling her that she needs to stop dressing nicely and stop talking to other guys, is really a sign of severe jealousy and not a sign that he loves her. She might actually like this information. Alternately, it has been proven that the center of the brain which assesses risk does not fully develop until at least age 18, sometimes as late as 22; this would be why Europeans don’t drive until they are 18. At 16 years old, most kids aren’t calculating that whipping around a sharp corner at 75 miles an hour does not bode good things; in the same respect, they are not taking into consideration the consequences of having sex. What can result from sex? As adults we can easily say
disease and pregnancy – just two consequences that will have devastating effects on a
young person’s life. Now, there are scenarios where teen moms have

‘Be the Match’ for Wayne Blake
Wayne Blake needs your help to survive. Take the first step to save a life by joining friends of the Wayne Blake family on Saturday, July 23, as they host a donor registry drive to raise awareness about the need for marrow donors. Superior and Copper Basin area residents are especially invited to join the Be The Match Registry, between 9 a.m. – 2 p.m., at the Tri-City Fire Department, located at 4280 E. Broadway Claypool. If you are reading this and can get there, you are most welcome to submit to a simple cheek swab, in hopes of finding a matching donor for Wayne Blake; or, if not him, then someone else in need. Donors with diverse racial or ethnic backgrounds are especially critical, as patients in need of a transplant are most likely to match with someone who shares the same race or ethnicity. Financial contributions are relied on to help cover costs, so, those joining the registry are asked to give what they can.

mostly medicinal, but also to cook with. I am told when you have an unusual dish and you can’t quite put your finger on the spice it is very possible it is epazote. It has a few other names such as Mexican Tea, Wormseed, Pigweed, West Indian Goosefoot, Hedge Mustard, and Jerusalem Parsley.

I hesitated about writing about epazote because too much of it can be poisonous however, it is an herb to be cooked with so I decided to go with it. I am told one of the reasons it is not in mainstream cooking is it has a bad name. In this instance, bad being the smell. Some say it smells like gasoline, turpentine, or oil byproducts. A friend of mine said she has never found a dish that needed epazote that bad. It is also said it has a hint of lemon. It grows wild and can be considered a weed. I always thought a weed is a plant that no one loves, so
maybe it is not so much a weed as it grows like a weed. You can find this herb in most Latin markets or Hispanic grocery stores. There are many places online that sell dried epazote which is a satisfactory alternative if fresh is not available. The main reason it is used in cooking is in beans to help them be more socially acceptable by making them less gassy. It is also used with fish, soups, and quesadillas. I found a recipe at mountainvalleygrowers.com for tortilla soup that uses epazote: Tortilla Soup
2 tbsp. corn oil 1 c. diced onion 1 tbsp. minced garlic 2 c. peeled, chopped tomatoes 1 tbsp. tomato paste or puree 8 c. clear chicken stock 1 med. bay leaf 1 sprig epazote (see note) 1 tbsp. ground cumin Salt & pepper-GARNISH:--1/2 avocado, diced 4 oz. grated cheddar cheese 5 oz. cubed, cooked boneless chicken 3 fried corn tortilla, cut in strips Heat corn oil; sauté diced onion lightly. Add minced garlic, tomatoes and tomato
paste. Cook until mixture is somewhat reduced. Add chicken stock, bay leaf, epazote, cumin, salt and pepper. Simmer slowly 30 minutes. Strain through a fine sieve. Garnish each serving with a little avocado, cheese, chicken and tortilla strips. Makes 10 servings. NOTE: Epazote is sometimes available at Mexican specialty markets. Cilantro is an alternative. If you try this let me know what you think and if you have some epazote bring some by sometime. Until next time, WooHoo! Selma
Fiduciary
won’t move them unless we absolutely have to. Sometimes you will go out and find people living in absolute squalor.” If the Public Fiduciary Office is named as guardian, the first step is to inventory all personal property. A pair of case workers will go to the home with a camera and video recorder to document what the person owns. The property, along with bank accounts and vehicles are secured for the individual. Within 90 days of the inventory, a written report is submitted to the court detailing what was found. “If we have to place a person in an assisted living home, we will have the person go through their belongings to see what they want to keep. The rest of the belongings are boxed and are sent to storage or are auctioned off with the proceeds being placed in their account,” Sacramento explained. An account is established in the name of each client and the funds are held by the Pinal County Treasurer’s Office. A budget is created to make sure all bills are paid on time. The fiduciary only works with the money that is coming into the individual’s account. There are no county funds used to help pay for a client’s expenses. Being placed in such a position of trust in a person’s life is not an easy task. Accountability of every penny incoming and outgoing is essential to maintain the
trust placed with the Public Fiduciary’s Office. Every year, a case manager will file a report with the court detailing every transaction that has taken place in the client’s account. Finding an appropriate assisted living or nursing home is not an easy task in Pinal County. Case managers strive to find a location that will suit a particular client in their current situation. “With the economy and state budget cuts, it is difficult to place mentally-challenged people,” Sacramento said. “We want to give them the help they need, but it is a difficult task considering the lack of money available.” Intake Coordinator Shellie Hills agrees. “Sometimes clients are placed in a ‘Catch-22’
situation,” Hills said. “They need a certain level of care, but they can’t afford it because they have sufficient income to disqualify them from Arizona’s Long Term Care System. Funding cuts and the state of the economy has played a big role in denying people the care they need.” Even with all the stress of dealing with people who are facing life-changing decisions, the job is something these case workers would never give up. “I’ve been here for 25 years,” Hills said. “It’s rewarding, but it’s not for everyone. You help a person, you bond with them and you have a connection to them. When you learn they have passed away, you mourn their death. Sometimes at the funeral you’re the only person there for them.”
Core
own beliefs and convictions, it helps form their short-term and long-term goals with greater ease. Another segment of the “Who am I and Why” handbook is titled “What it means to be” and this delves into different types of be-ing, such as ‘What it means to be a Friend’, etc. The instructor then reviews with the class why those things discussed in the handbook are important and what is most important about having friends, etc. Basically, it is a written way of analyzing their thoughts on these issues and can help them start formulating their own ideas and start developing an understanding of why certain things are more important than others. In a way, this is a mentoring program, to ensure that the children are encouraged to have a healthy development of personal view; it focuses critical thinking, instead of just the emotional thinking of developing a sense of self. If a child has a mentor or even a group of mentors, then they are given additional reinforcement as they form an idea of how they want to be as an adult; it gives them additional examples through action of the type of person they want to become as they get older. This a great way to get the youth of the community involved in the community and beyond this, any involvement in the Discovery Core would be considered community volunteerism; not only would the children benefit from being involved in the Discovery Core, but the volunteerism they exhibit will help them later on as when they apply for scholarships, college and jobs. When I asked Pete what his hope for what the Discovery Core will become, he very seriously replied, “My hope is that, number one, it creates a positive force multiplied, they get positive reinforcement for just being an individual, individual creativity, learning more about themselves, empowering themselves and having a positive attitude that ultimately rubs off on others. Especially in this community, with it being so small, when people see a group being dedicated to something positive, it becomes just as infectious as the negative. Right now, we have a real imbalance of the negative and positive energies.” The Discovery Core is in its initial stage and needs all the help and support it can get from the community. If you would like more information or are interested in becoming involved with the Discovery Core, please contact Pete Casillas, Chairman of Parks and Recreation, at 520827-0692 or email him at rebuildsuperior@gmail.com.
Continued from Page 2 changed around our division, is that we are taking a closer look at attorney’s fees,” Sacramento said. “In the past, we have asked the courts to examine attorney fees and consider a request to lower them. But what we saw in the Maricopa County case is that many of the people harmed by the private fiduciary were middle-income clients or those with sizable incomes.” The four nationally- and state-certified case workers on the Public Fiduciary’s staff presently oversee 220 cases. Clients are elderly, mentally incompetent or developmentally-disabled. Since Pinal County’s growth spurt from 2004-2007 and the decline of the national economy, the staff has seen a definite increase in clientele. “Arizona is a retirement state,” Sacramento says. “People move here when they hit 65 to enjoy the weather and get away from the city. Usually the rest of their family stays back east, or wherever they come from. As these people age, they experience a drop-off in physical or mental health while most of the family is unaware of what is going on.” Referrals can come from a variety of sources, including Adult Protective Services or the courts. A public fiduciary could step in if ordered by the court and no other person is able to manage the person’s affairs. “We’ll gladly step away from a case if there is a trusted family member or friend who can handle things,” said Public Fiduciary’s Business Supervisor Pat Carter. “We can assist that person in preparing the petition and paperwork to obtain guardianship. If we are appointed by a judge, we will do an assessment on the person and situation. We
