Superior Fire Department adds new ambulance to EMS fleet

Emergency responders at the Superior Fire Department commissioned a new ambulance last week. This is the newest emergency services vehicle to be added to the Town of Superior’s fleet. Last year, three new police vehicles were purchased as part of Resolution Copper’s five-year Emergency Services Agreement with the Town of Superior.

As part of the agreement, Resolution Copper provides funding and support for police and fire equipment, and operations to serve residents in the Town of Superior and personnel working at the Resolution Copper Project.

“The public counts on our dedicated EMTs to provide medical aid every day,” said Superior Mayor Mila BesichLira. “This new ambulance enables us to continue to provide the best care to those we so proudly serve.”

“We are proud of this agreement with Resolution Copper because it demonstrates a unique partnership between the town and business sector,” said Superior Vice Mayor Michael Alonzo. “This agreement will provide a boost to our ability to provide critical emergency services to our Continued on page 9

Tonto Forest approves LOST Trail reroute The Legends of Superior Trails Inc. (LOST) organization received news on Monday, Sept. 18, that the re-route of the gateway connector trail between Superior and the Arizona Trail Picket Post Trail head was approved to be constructed through Arnett Canyon. The news came via a Decision Memo issued by the Tonto National Forest - Globe Ranger District.

The original gateway connector trail was obliterated when US 60 was expanded. The Arizona Department of Transportation provided funding to mitigate the loss of the trail to the Tonto National Forest which would help fund construction of a new trail. Two plans were submitted by the LOST: a northern route through Arnett Canyon and southern route that would have bypassed the Picket Post Trailhead. Outdoor recreation groups and locals alike commented favorably that the northern route through Arnett would meet the needs of both long distance hikers on the Arizona Trail as well as day use, while also providing improved access and recreation activities for Superior.

The LOST will now have a segment that connects hikers, Continued on page 9

Bye-Bye Buzzards Saturday at Boyce Thompson Arboretum This week brings the Autumnal Equinox, observed by cultures from the ancient Greeks to Aboriginal Australians.

Here in Pinal County, our own Boyce Thompson Arboretum celebrates a sure sign of Fall with the annual departure of the seasonal resident Turkey Vultures.

Saturday, Sept. 23, Join ASU Professor Dave Pearson for an early morning salute to the big, black birds; events are included with adult admission of $12.50; free to BTA annual members and AZ state parks pass-holders. Arrive early for the 7 a.m. special Vulture Viewing Saturday to observe BTA’s famous flock of Turkey Vultures perched on the cliffs before they depart to spend their day soaring the skies. World-traveled ASU Professor Dave Pearson returns by popular demand as guest ‘Vulture-ologist’ stationed near the Desert Legume Garden from about 7 a.m. until 8:30 a.m. “talking about TUVUs,” sharing jokes about the big black birds, answering questions and waxing poetic about the soaring scavengers until they take to the skies – typically by 8:30 a.m. Dr. Pearson and other guides will lead a bird walk through the gardens at 8:30 a.m. in

search of other birds, mammals and critters. Other events Saturday include a geology walk at 8 a.m. and butterfly walk at 9 a.m.; confirm event times and read more at cals. arizona.edu; connect with 10,000 fans at facebook.com/ btarboretum A special guest for the morning is author Katie Fallon.

Her nonfiction book, Vulture: The Private Life of an Un-loved Bird, was released this year from the University Press of New England. A portion of the book’s last chapter is spotlights BTA’s annual festival, and two chapters take place in Arizona and southern Utah - highlighting the Hassayampa River Preserve, the Grand Canyon, the Vermilion Cliffs, and the town of Gila Bend. Fallon will sign and sell copies of her book in the visitor center following Dr. Pearson’s bird walk – from about 9:30 to 11:00 a.m. Order copies of the book and read more about the author at katiefallon.com/books/vulture/ Want a coupon for a free (yes, FREE!) visit to Boyce Thompson Arboretum on Saturday, or to explore the Desert Botanical Garden, or nearly two dozen other

LOST

Continued from page 5 mountain bikers and equestrian users from the Picket Post trail head through Arnett Canyon to Pinal City and then to the Superior Airport. Eventually the LOST and the Town of Superior plan to build additional trails from the Airport to the US 60 Park onto Main Street then through the Queen Creek Canyon Segment of the trail to the old US 60 Tunnel.

The final approval of the reroute was studied by the Tonto National Forest and it was determined that there was not a need for further environmental assessments. Currently there are many people utilizing the canyon for recreation, however these unplanned trails are hastily created which could cause damage to the area. The approval for

construction will allow for crews and volunteers to build quality, well marked trails that will further preserve the riparian area in Arnett Canyon. Motorized access will not be permitted in the canyon.

Since 2006 members of the Legends of Superior Trails group have been supporting trail development. They became the Legends of Superior Trails Inc. (LOST), a Superior based 501 c3 non-profit in 2014. This organization will play a key role in the trail planning, construction and maintenance. In addition to this segment of the trail they also provide leadership and guidance for the Queen Creek Canyon Segment (old US 60) of the LOST.
