General Election 2018: Who will be on the ballot?

Most of the national news has already begun to focus on the 2020 Presidential Election, almost as if the 2018 Mid-Term elections have been finalized. Voters across Arizona will head to the polls on Tuesday, November 6th to cast their votes for many state wide and local offices.

The last day to register to vote in the upcoming elections is Tuesday, Oct. 9. Early ballots will be mailed on Oct. 10.

The last day to request an absentee ballot is Friday, Oct. 26, 2018.

Governor Doug Ducey will face Democratic candidate David Garcia. Arizona will be electing its first female United States Senator as Kirsten Sinema the Democratic candidate will face Martha McSally the Republican contender. Congressional District One, Congressman Tom O’Halleran will run against Republican Wendy Rodgers to keep his seat.

For the Copper Corridor, the Legislative District 8 Senate and House of Representative seats will be up for election.

Senator Frank Pratt will run against Sharon Girard who won the Democratic spot on the ballot. She is from the Eloy area. Rep. TJ Shope and Rep. David Cook, both Republicans, will be running against Carmen Casillas and Linda Gross – both are Democrats out of Globe.

Countywide, one of the biggest contests locally was the race for Justice of the Peace for District 5. With the combination of the JP Courts, Judge Larry Bravo of the Superior/Kearny Court faced Judge Arnold Estrada from the Mammoth/San Manuel Court. With all votes cast, the Democratic voters of the combined JP District 5 which now spans from Oracle to Superior elected Judge Arnold Estrada; he will face Republican Judge Nancy Discher from the Oracle/SaddleBrooke court.

The combination of the Justice Courts have also called

for the consolidation of the Constable Duties. Democrat Christopher Alvarado of Kearny will face Republican Mike Sloan of the San Manuel area for the position of Constable.

The Superior Chamber of Commerce has invited the JP, Constable and Legislative District 8 Candidates to their September Luncheon. If you are interested in listening to the candidates and attending the luncheon, please contact Sue Anderson at 602-625-3151.

In local municipal elections, races were mostly decided during the September primaries and the local town governments will not need to call for general election runoff races.

Kearny: Mayor Debra Sommers will remain as Mayor; she ran unopposed and will serve another two year term.

Incumbent council members Rudy Flores, Nancy Hinojos and Daniel Radcliffe were all re-elected. They will be sworn into their next terms in January.

Hayden: Councilmember Dean Hetrick ran unopposed for the position of Mayor. Mayor Bobby Smith chose to run for a council seat and was elected to serve a four year term as a Councilmember. This leaves four council seats open in Hayden. Current council members Bernardino Cruz and Thomas Lagunas are expected to apply to be appointed by the Council. This leaves two seats vacant, as Vice Mayor Maria Munoz did not seek re-election and there has been a vacant seat for two years. Officials at the Town of Hayden expect that the council will seek out applications from interested residents to be appointed to those seats.

Superior: Mayor Mila Besich-Lira ran unopposed for a four year term as Mayor of Superior. Three council seats were open in Superior: the two incumbent candidates

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Superior EMS is Superior indeed I have fallen in love with Superior, AZ. since moving into our home over 1 1/2 years ago. There is such a wonderful sense of caring and community. In the middle of August I became very ill again for the second time in less than a month. This time it was necessary for the Superior EMTs

to come to my rescue. I can’t thank them enough for their wonderful care and concern. I feel truly blessed to be lucky enough to live in a community with this level care.

Thank you, Superior EMTs so much. /s/ Natalie Bakke

Have a service man or woman you’d like us to recognize? We are proud to support our military and will publish the information at no charge. Email information to cbnsun@minersunbasin.com.

Michael Alonzo and Stephen Estatico both ran unopposed.

The Council will take applications from local residents in January for the third seat which is being vacated by Councilmember Gilbert Aguilar. Aguilar did not seek reelection.

Winkelman: There were three council seats open for election this year. Three candidates sought election to serve on the Winkelman Town Council. Incumbents Felix Marques and Nolberto Wadell were re-elected and Joe Marin, a new face to the council, was elected. All three will begin their new four year terms in January.

Mammoth: At press time, the lead vote getters for the Mammoth Town Council were Ernest Bustamante, Annie Martinez and Rogina Medina. It was still being determined if these candidates received enough votes to avoid a run off election at the general election in November. Arizona state law requires the candidates in municipal elections receive 50% plus one of the votes cast.

Superior remains unbeaten behind Ybarra’s 6 TD’s

By Andrew Luberda Superior Sun

The Superior football team improved to 4 – 0 after last Friday’s 72 – 15 victory against visiting Arete Prep. Senior quarterback Steven Ybarra threw for four touchdowns and ran for two more in the win, in which the Panthers tallied their highest scoring total of the season, so far.

“We executed well on offense,” Superior head coach Ryan Palmer told the Superior Sun. “We had some undisciplined play on defense, but we are continuing to work on that.”

The Panthers’ defense posted shutouts in the first two games of the season, but has allowed 12 and 15 points, respectively, in the last two. Every other team in the state wishes they had the Panthers’ concerns, especially when the offense is averaging 50 points per game.

“We want to play at a championship level [on] every play,” Palmer said. “It is more about us than the other team. We strive for perfection and learn from our mistakes. As long as we are giving a hundred percent effort and learning, we are improving.”

On Friday, Ybarra was 6-of-10 for 140 yards passing in addition to 153 yards rushing on 10 carries. He connected with Adam Navarrette for two of his scoring throws. Cedric Mendoza and Jesus Castellanos caught the other two. Navarrette finished with a team-high three reception for 84 yards. The sophomore also had 154 return yards, including a 75-yard kick return for a touchdown.

Gabe Otero rushed for 59 yards and two touchdowns on only three rushing attempts.

Defensively, the Panthers had three interceptions, two by Sammy Lopez and the other by Otero.

Matthew Diaz-Gonzales (1), who led the Panthers with six tackles in the game, and Mendoza (2) combined for three sacks.

Three of the four Panthers’ four games have been decided in the first half, or even the first quarter.

The team should be commended for maintaining its focus. In lopsided games, the Panthers are competing against themselves perhaps more than the opponent.

“We have a lot of areas we need to improve on to reach our full potential,” Palmer said. “We just won a game (by 57 points) and after the game the kids were disappointed. They know we are better than we have been playing. As long as we stay humble and hungry we will get there.”

Up next: The Panthers play their third-straight home game this Friday when they host Phoenix Day School for the Deaf. The Roadrunners (1 – 3) picked up their first win last week, defeating Bowie/San Simon, 12 – 8. In their three losses, the Roadrunners have been outscored 172 – 8.

Friday’s kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m.

Superior all but crushed Arete Prep at Friday night’s game.

Heavy Lifting: Superior LL needs more volunteers to reduce the load

By Andrew Luberda Superior Sun

The African proverb suggests it takes a village to raise a child, but what is required to run a little league program full of children?

Volunteers.

Lots of them.

“The more volunteers we have, the better this program runs,” Superior Little League President Theresa Sestiaga recently told the Superior Sun. “Each year it becomes more and more difficult to fill board member positions.”

It isn’t just board positions that need to be filled, it’s any position, according to Sestiaga, who says, “The more volunteers, the easier the work.”

The league is, in fact, needing to fill vice president, secretary and other board positions. Preferably, two at each position for baseball and softball.

“Having two vice presidents will allow the (league) to function better,” Sestiaga said.

The vice president is responsible for scheduling, pictures and more.

“It makes the work a lot easier because they can bounce ideas off each other and focus on just one division instead of both (baseball and softball),” Sestiaga said.

Coaches, umpires and any volunteers in general will help.

“We are seeing currently the same parents who are coaching baseball and softball,” Sestiaga said. “Sometimes the coaches are (faced with conflict as a result). There aren’t a lot of volunteers who are saying, ‘Hey, I’m here to

help.’”

Perhaps potential volunteers are concerned they don’t possess enough knowledge to serve as a coach.

Don’t let that be a deterrent, Sestiaga says. No experience is needed.

The league has tools to assist inexperienced coaches, as well as other experienced coaches who also are a source of advisement.

Superior Little League is not about wins and losses.

“Our values are based respect, loyalty and courage,” Sestiaga said. “We’re emphasizing a lot of life skills more than anything, in addition to the fundamentals of the game, just not (the score).”

The T-Ball season starts first and is followed by the upper leagues later, which is partially necessitated by too few coaches.

The upper division teams have the opportunities to reach the little league regionals and world series on both baseball and softball, which requires even more attention.

“It requires a lot of time, communication and teamwork,” Sestiaga said. “When it’s well-working machine that’s (loses or is missing) one part, the machine can malfunction.”

High school-aged individuals and older are needed to volunteer as umpires. According to Sestiaga, time spent in this capacity can count for community hours.

Additionally, Sestiaga encouraged anyone interested in supporting the league to simply offer to do what they do best. If a person like to make coasters, wants to be a DJ or even help with print design for pamphlets or brochures,

there is a need for those volunteers too.

“It’s not just about what we need,” she said. “It’s also about what you do best that could benefit our league.”

Anyone interested in volunteering, learning more about the league, or those who have questions should attend a league meeting on Thursday, Sept. 13, at the senior center in Superior. The meeting is schedule for 6:30 p.m., but Sestiaga and other league representatives will be there as early as 6 p.m.

Prickly Pear Chair Auction raises funds for art supplies Marilee Lasch, one of Superior’s resident artists, took on the challenge of coordinating the second ever, Prickly Pear Chair Auction. She invited many other local artists to paint and design these unique and creative seating accommodations. The fundraiser was coordinated with the support of the Superior Chamber of Commerce.

Each chair was unique, from painted desert scenes to other types of designs and painting techniques.

“This project was a great way to bring our local artists together and work on a project. We all know how important arts education is for children, this was our way to help.

We cant wait for next year,” explained Lasch.

Once the chairs were painted and designed, they were on display at the Superior Town Hall then auctioned off during the 7th Annual Prickly Pear Festival. The auction raised $500 which the Superior Chamber of Commerce donated to the Superior Unified School District for art supplies.

“We certainly appreciate all of the time and effort that Marilee and our local artists gave to ensuring the chair auction was a success. This was a fun way to support our young artists and give back to our community,” said Chamber President Sue Anderson.

Top Photo: Sue Anderson, President of the Superior Chamber of Commerce, along with local artist Marilee Lasch and Mayor Mila Besich presented a check for $500 to JFK Principal Ken Majors and Superintendent Steve Estatico.

Old Dominion Days – A celebration of a golden age in Globe Echoes of pickaxes chinking against stone and the clatter of pasty buckets hastily stored in the shade of a mesquite tree float down through time. Excited chatter rides the wind from the turn of the 20th Century as a prospector uncovers a vein of copper sure to lead to the mother lode at the Old Dominion Mine in Globe.

The Gila County Historical Society will host Old Dominion Days on Sept. 12-15, 2018, to relive a time when pioneers struck out West to make their fortunes and survival depended on sheer grit. The celebration will feature a guided tour of the Old Dominion Mine, which, although still considered active, is now a minethemed park complete with hiking trails lined with historic information placards, a zip-line and a family park.

“This mine, this park and these photos give us a glimpse of the golden age of Arizona and our area,” said Vernon Perry, president of the Gila County Historical Museum. “That is what Old Dominion Days is all about. We want people to get a taste of that exciting time

of discovery and prosperity in our amazing community. “ Old Dominion Days – a Globe event designed to be fun for the entire family - kicks off this year on Wednesday, Sept. 12, with historical presentations, music and Chuck Wagon grub and culminates Saturday, Sept. 15, with an Old West shoot-out, copper panning, a tortilla toss, square dancing, a pasty supper and music from the Arizona Territorial Brass Band. The event will also feature antique appraisals, an old-fashioned candy store, family and kids day activities, a Big Nose Kate Fashion Show and an Old Dominion Mine guided tour.

“We wanted to bring a signature event to the community that celebrates our history and our community,” said Fernando Shipley, chairman of the Old Dominion Days board. “We chose our events so there is something fun for everyone to do.”

Tickets can be purchased at the Gila Historical Museum (928-425-7385), the Globe-Miami Chamber of Commerce (928425-4495) and Turn the Page (928-910-9033)

The railroad was brought into Globe in 1898, greatly increasing the profitability of the mine. Pictured is a 1917 train crew that worked for Old Dominion Mine. or visit www.gilahistoricalmuseum.org/ old-dominion-days/#tickets. For lodging call
