Julissa Rose Garcia named Queen for 32nd annual Fiestas Patrias
Julissa Rose Garcia
Julissa Rose Garcia began the race with high spirits and great enthusiasm; and although the competition started slimming down until there was none, she continues to work hard and to fund raise as the 2011 Saint Francis of Assisi 32nd Annual Fiestas Patrias Reigning Queen. This year’s annual fiesta has been set for Saturday and Sunday, September 17 and 18, and this year’s fiesta theme is “Keeping the Faith.” Needless to say, Julissa is certainly abiding by the selected theme as she keeps the faith and continues her activities as though she were still in a neck to neck competition. She and her family hosted a Fiesta Steak Dinner followed by a Dance
on Saturday, August 6. Presently, Julissa is also raising funds by selling tickets to a give-away. Julissa and her family take the give-away tickets with them wherever they go. Donations for the tickets are a dollar per ticket or 12 tickets for $10. The winner of the Keep the Faith GiveAway will receive $300. Second place winner gets $150, and third place gets $75. The Fiesta Queen lives on Western Avenue with her mother, Loly Garcia, and her 11 year old brother, Lorenzo Garcia, who is a sixth grader at Superior Junior High. Adrian Jason Garcia is Julissa’s father and resides in the Valley. Paternal grandparents are Jose Luis Garcia of Hayden
and Cynthia Padilla of Mesa. Her maternal grandparents are Arthur “Tudy” Alvarado also of Hayden and Velma Sestiaga of Superior. Julissa is a nine year old fourth grader at John F. Kennedy Elementary School who likes eating ravioli and potatoes and cheese. Her favorite subject is Math, and she loves the color purple. Julissa’s favorite pastime is cheerleading. Brother Lorenzo played Pop Warner Football in Mesa, and Julissa was a member of the football team’s cheerleading squad. The Fiesta Queen loves to play school and wants to grow up to be a teacher. The young queen said, “I wanted to run for Fiesta Queen to help raise money for our church. I think we
have a pretty church and me and my family like going there. Now me and my friends want to keep the ball rolling with Saint Mary’s Center. I think all of us, big or small, should help our church.” The coronation ceremony for Julissa Rose Garcia will take place in Saint Francis of Assisi Church on Main Street immediately after the 5 p.m. Mass on Saturday, Sept. 17. Music for the Mass and the coronation will be provided by Los Changitos Feos Mariachi of Tucson. This mariachi has performed world wide and earned many awards. Their latest award came as a result of their performance in April 2011 International Mariachi Conference in Tucson.
the shuffle.” The town’s administrative staff, she said, is in the process of working through several financial audits and is transferring data to a new software system, which, she explained, should clear up many of the financial discrepancies. Another source of income, traffic fines, also came into the revenue discussion. With the installation of the traffic cameras, the town had a rough income of $27,000. But the Arizona State Legislature late last month approved some new requirements that will seriously trim the amount of revenue traffic camera citations can generate. On July 20, the legislature added the requirement that citations from traffic cameras include the comment, “You do not have to answer this notice.” Police Chief Lou Digirolamo
said adding this phrase would cut the amount of projected revenue to $7,000. Gutierrez questioned another revenue amount, other reimbursements. “On Other Reimbursements,” he said, “we go from on actual of $217,000 to an additional $270,000 which brings it up to over $480,000, what is that?” “As discussed during the work sessions,” Welty explained, “there are multiple buildings in the town that we are projecting will be sold and those are projected in that figure as well as the CAP money that will be received, there are a number of reimbursements that go into that number.” Hing explained. “Basically…we’ve got to put the number in, we may or may not (get that amount), but we have to put the number in. If
more money came in than the $480,000, we would not be able to use it in the operating budget,” Hing said. “Could it be less?...my concern is that if it comes in less, then we are going to wind up short somewhere,” Gutierrez asked. It was further explained that historically these are the type of numbers the town has seen. Throughout the remainder of the meeting, everything from other sources of income to the $6,000 delegated for the Little League Field to permits purchased by Resolution Copper to penalties to be received over unpaid sewer bills was canvassed during the discussion of the budget, by every member of the council present. During the public hearing, resident Kurt Williams asked that more hours be added to the
Superior Library. Barbara Arriola, director of the town’s Parks and Recreation Commission, asked for more facilities for the community’s children, which prompted Gutierrez to ask if the $6,000 for the little league field was an appropriate use of funds. “If you support us putting $6,000 towards the little league field then I will support it,” he said. Arriola said she did support it. Following the lengthy but necessary discussion of the budget, the motion was made to pass the budget with changes made to allow for the funding of the Economic Development Council’s incorporation, which passed unanimously. For more information on the finalized budget for the Town of Superior for fiscal year 2011-12, please contact town hall at 520-689-5752.
Superior’s 2011-12 budget passes, but not without a sound review By Taylor Sheaffer Ritter The Superior Town Council met Thursday, July 28, in a special meeting to approve the 2011-12 budget for the operations of the town. This was the final opportunity to hash out the logistics of the budget before it was set in stone and in turn a public hearing was held for the public to speak out their concerns with the proposed budget. During the discussion, several council members questioned certain aspects of the budget as to why figures were high or low according to the certain budget. Of the inquisitors, Councilman Hank Gutierrez was the most vocal on the topic of the budget, questioning many aspects of the budget carefully with full consideration into why the money was needed and where it was potentially going.
While considering the town’s proposed revenues, several council members asked if business license fees were included on the budget. Financial Director Nicole Welty told the council that there were businesses in town that weren’t current on their annual license fees. “Are you saying that during this past fiscal year or even this current fiscal year, that certain businesses weren’t paying their licenses?” Mayor Michael Hing asked. “Some business didn’t pay their licenses,” she said. “Like I said we are doing our best to keep track of those, going through individual accounts to figure out who.” Welty repeatedly told the council that certain aspects of the finances, such as business licenses, bills, invoices, and more were getting “lost in
School Board approves policy against bullying By Taylor Sheaffer Ritter Bullies, take note. Superior Schools won’t tolerate your actions. During its recent Wednesday, Aug. 3 meeting, the Superior School Board put some safeguards in place to further regulate instances of student violence and bullying. It is belief of the governing board that “it is the right of every student to be educated in a positive, safe, caring, and respectful learning environment. The Board further believes a school environment inclusive of these traits maximizes student achievement, fosters student personal growth, and helps students build a sense of community that promotes positive participation as members of society,” as stated in the regulating material. With the recent rise in numbers of children being bullied across the nation, the alarming trend as instigated many school boards to take similar action to ensure
student safety and comfort in their learning environment. So what does the new policy dictate and how does this affect students and families in the community? Here is a short summary of the policy. The policy states bullying as such: “Bullying may occur when a student or group of students engages in any form of behavior that includes such acts as intimidation and/or harassment that [a] has the effect of physically harming a student, damaging a student’s property, or placing a student in reasonable fear of harm or damage to property, [b] is sufficiently severe, persistent or pervasive that the action, behavior or threat creates an intimidating, threatening, or abusive environment in the form of physical or emotional harm, [c] occurs when there is a real or perceived imbalance or power or strength, [or d] may constitute a violation of law,” thus stating the several instances where bullying becomes a
very real possibility for a student. Beyond this though, there are so many types of bullying, especially with the advent of the internet; this too is covered in the policy stating that bullying “can be manifested through written, verbal, physical, or emotional means and may occur in a variety of forms including, but not limited to [a] verbal, written/ printed or graphic exposure to derogatory comments, extortion, exploitation, name calling, or rumor spreading either directly through another person or group or through cyber bullying, [b] exposure to social exclusion or ostracism, [c] physical contact including but not limited to pushing, hitting, kicking, shoving, or spitting, [or d] damage to or theft of personal property,” thus covering many outlets through which bullies can reach their victims.

Prickly pear cactus fruit classes at Arboretum August equals harvest time and Boyce Thompson Arboretum boasts two of Arizona’s most knowledgeable and experienced prickly pear pickers and processors. Apache Junction author Jean Groen and her harvest season accomplice Robert Lewis volunteer four mornings each summer teaching Boyce Thompson Arboretum visitors how to safely pick, de-spine, juice, and prepare these abundant desert fruits. It’s a safe bet that nobody in the East Valley collects and cans more prickly pear cactus fruit than these two intrepid interpreters. Last year the opuntia pals collected hundreds of pounds of cactus fruit and turned the ripe red beauties into 40 gallons of juice in just one day! Former Apache Junction resident Sandy Tracey (now a professional artist living in Sedona) was inspired by the season to paint six colorful depictions of prickly

Mining Report By Mila Lira Copper prices were volatile over the past two weeks and closed out Monday at $3.82 a pound. Online market analysts attributed the decrease in the Copper commodity to the 14 day labor strikes at the Escondida Mine in Chile. Escondida is the world’s largest copper mine in Chile, it was reported that the mine may have lost up to 40,000 tons of Copper and this prompted fears that there was a dearth in world supply. Copper Creek Redhawk Resources, Inc. announced that it received conditional approval to list its common shares for trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”). The conditional approval is subject to receipt of standard documentation. The common shares of the Company are presently listed for trading on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”) as well as the OTCQX. The Company expects that its common shares will
commence trading on the TSX on or before September 15th, 2011 (the “Listing Date”), under its current trading symbol “RDK.” The Company will make a further announcement once the TSX has provided the final acceptance of the listing, and issued a bulletin confirming the Listing Date. In the interim, Redhawk’s common shares will remain listed on the TSXV under the symbol “RDK”, and will delist from the TSXV on the Listing Date. Stephen Barley, Managing Director of Redhawk stated: “We are extremely pleased to have received conditional listing approval from the TSX. This graduation is another milestone for the Company and will broaden our access to the equity markets as we continue with the accelerated development of our Copper Creek project.” Curis Mining – Florence Copper Project Curis Resources welcomed the remarks made by Arizona State Governor Jan Brewer

in support of the Company’s flagship Florence Copper project. Governor Brewer made a surprise visit to a Curis Mine supporter event on August 2. More than 70 local business leaders were joined by Governor Jan Brewer and other State, County and Town officials at an evening event in Florence to celebrate the 5 C’s (copper, cattle, citrus, cotton and climate) of Arizona and to rally in support of Florence Copper. As Governor Brewer stated in her remarks, “Copper mining has long been a key industry in Arizona and we need to make sure we continue that tradition. While it’s the responsibility of state government to create an environment ripe for business growth, it’s the responsibility of cities and towns to actively seek and nurture economic development opportunities within their borders. Governor Brewer went on to say, “Every town in America is actively looking for opportunities to bring highpaying jobs to their community, but few get a chance like the Florence Copper Project. I’m grateful for the opportunity to stand together with you tonight in support of such a wonderful economic development

opportunity.” Florence Copper is an advanced stage in-situ copper recovery project that is advancing towards an anticipated start of construction and development in the beginning of 2012. As part of preparing for the first phase of development, Curis has been undertaking a comprehensive community outreach program. This work includes holding a number of open houses, hosting site tours of project facilities every two weeks, establishing community partnerships with key civic and business organizations and building educational partnerships with local schools and community colleges. “We want to be viewed as having a positive and constructive influence in the area and are working hard to establish a number of long term partnerships with community organizations,” said Mr. McPhie. “Estimated to be one of the lowest cost copper mining
projects in the world, Florence Copper represents a tremendous opportunity to both advance the practice of how copper is extracted safely and profitably in Arizona and provide multigenerational opportunities to the residents of the area.” Gold Hawk Gold Hawk Resources Inc. announced that the State of Arizona has issued Aquifer Protection Permit No. P-102110 for the proposed Oracle Ridge Copper Mine to its wholly owned subsidiary, Oracle Ridge Mining LLC. The issuance of this permit is a major achievement in the permitting process for the reactivation of the Oracle Ridge Copper Mine. This permit covers the previous area of historic tailings storage and will need to be amended in accordance with Best Available Demonstrated Control Technology (BADCT) before new tailings deposition can occur. Detailed design work for
amending the Aquifer Protection Permit is part of the overall feasibility level design and engineering program currently being conducted by Lyntek Inc., which is nearing completion. BADCT design work includes a fully lined tailings impound designed to zero discharge standards, a storm water diversion system and monitoring wells. The Company intends to employ dry stacked tailings technology to achieve significant water evaporation savings and allow for a rapid, staged reclamation of the site. “This is a major milestone for the Company and a critical step in the re-start of commercial production for the Oracle Ridge Copper Mine,” said Mr. Paul Eagland, Gold Hawk’s Interim CEO. “Our special thanks to Tetra Tech Inc., our primary environmental consultants, for having achieved such a significant goal in a timely matter.”

Letter to the Editor: New contract nothing to celebrate
Editor, Superior Sun: Copper over $4 per pound: A sellout. Some union officers and members were celebrating the new Grupo (ASARCO) contract. Why? What did the union gain? Nothing. They just extended the present contract for two years; but what did they give away? Now, when I speak of the union, I speak of the District Director and Sub-Director, more so than the local union officers who and unwittingly agreed to this settlement. Or, take it back to the membership. Which, any fool would know that the work force would accept this contract. Most of the members and some officers of the union have not been educated in the history and the function of unions. Why? The USWA locals gave away pensions. Anyone hired on or after July 1 has no pension. Be it your son, daughter, brother or other kin, they will have a 401K to look forward to. This is not a guaranteed pension. Look at today’s economy. On Oct. 31, 1949, when the first pension for the steel workers was started after a 45-day strike, which I was involved in. We struck for $100 a month, at that time.
Social Security was $37.50 per month. Bethlehem Steel Company was the first to settle. Was this all in vain? ASARCO was the last mine in Arizona to have a pension. Not now! Why? ASARCO is also the only copper company still in the union; but for how long. Maybe two years? That’s not all. The union agreed to 10 and 12 hour shifts. That is without time-and-a-half over eight hours, which was also fought for when I and the Unions were young. We will lose the time-and-ahalf over eight hours, if this is implemented. Are we going backwards? Did our forefathers die and strike for nothing? It seems we live in a world of “me first” now! What a shame. I blame this on our union officials for not educating and informing officers and members and new employees about how our union was started and what the union members did, who died and who went on strike to receive what you are giving away. That’s not all. Employees, on July 1 and after, will have to pay more for their medical insurance; more for the deductible and more for the monthly medical insurance payment and also, the
prescription drug co-payments and mail order prescriptions will be more. How can you explain this to a potential member you are trying to enlist to our one time great union? When I retired in 1996, I had held the position of President of USWA Local 5252 for more than 26 years, and had been a member of the USWA Union for 44 years, including working in the steel mills in Pittsburgh for 13 years. I have fought and lost some ground, as in 1986, because K.C.C. was going to shut us down and sell the company. We still saved pensions and the retirees were not touched. When I retired, we had a six year contract and our medicare payment was
$10 per month. Today, we pay $150 - $200 per month, for a medical program that I protested two-and-a-half years ago. That was not adhered to as agreed to. Everyone from the District Director and SubDistrict Director and USWA Technicians said I was right and that this would be a #1 in these contract talks. We were lied to; or did the union negotiators roll over, scared of Grupo, because the new membership would cross the picket line? Due to the District Officers not educating the members, new employees and the public? You be the judge! /s/ Bernard Zornakci Retired L.O. 5252 President for more than 26 years

Prickly Pears
Continued from Page 1 as one day’s installment in her ongoing Painting-a-Day series. See more of her work at sandytraceypaintingaday. blogspot.com; or take one of the original art works home as your own, they’re available at the Arboretum gift shop for $50 each, with half the proceeds donated by the artist to BTA. Jean and Robert’s How-toJuice-A-Prickly-Pear classes are a highlight of summertime and among Pinal County’s most popular events; in fact, last year, Jean celebrated teaching her 1,000th student in these informal weekend workshops. The next class is Sunday, Aug. 14, at 10:30 a.m. The same class repeats Aug. 27 and again Sept. 5. There’s no additional fee or pre-registration. Jean will share her picking and juicing techniques during this informal, outdoor workshop that will last about an hour. Each attendee will learn how to harvest these forbidding fruits without hands becoming a porcupine of painful cactus stickers, spines and glochids. And the best part is that at the end of the informal, breezy class, Jean and Robert will share prickly pear-based snacks. The menu included meatballs braised in prickly pear BBQ sauce, nopalito salad, and vanilla ice cream milkshakes made with prickly pear juice, bananas and pineapple. Preview this event, watch the short video posted at youtube.

Art donations needed for education dinner By Taylor Sheaffer Ritter Pinal Mountain Foundation for Higher Education will be holding its annual dinner and art auction on Thursday, August 18, in Globe.

Copper Mining will be assisting with the annual dinner. The Pinal Mountain Foundation for Higher Education works in partnership with Gila Community College to help surrounding communities build successful futures through educational development, along with working to advance
quality education and student opportunities; the foundation’s primary role is to raise scholarship money for Gila Pueblo College in Globe. If you would like to donate to the foundation or would like more information about the foundation or the dinner, please contact Melissa Rabago of Resolution Copper at 520-689-3230.
