What an up and down place, both in terms of elevation and economic opportunities. The town has “good bones,” and even the empty buildings in the old downtown have real restoration potential. The growth of North Tucson and Oracle will certainly influence conditions in Mammoth, and the Apache Sky Casino is already making its presence known. The many successful cafes and services demonstrate the value of Mammoth’s location along the San Pedro.

This past week I went to a planning session, led by Ginger Chester, the new President of the Board of the Copper Basin Chamber of Commerce, on the upcoming Great Pumpkin and Trunk-or-Treat Festival which will be held Saturday, October 28, in Kearny. Interest in the event has grown, and many new people came to be volunteers and help plan all the events. The group worked on improvements for this already popular event, thinking of more things for the children and also for their parents and friends.

Beginning of school year often reveals child abuse, neglect The end of summer and the start of a new school year is an exciting time for most children. But for some, the beginning of school could reveal a dark secret when signs of abuse and neglect these children have suffered over the summer are noticed by teachers, staff and other parents.

“Because children are subject to less adult supervision over the summer, it’s not uncommon for reports of suspected abuse and neglect to spike at the start of the school year,” states Patti Dremler, CASA Coordinator of Northern Gila County.

Many of the children who are confirmed as victims are removed from their homes and placed into foster care— often far from their friends, families and schools. CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) volunteers from CASA of Gila County are specially screened and trained to speak up for abused and neglected children who, through no fault of their own, end up in the foster care system.

“Being uprooted from their homes and families is scary for these children. We at CASA want to make sure that they do not get lost in the overburdened foster care system,” Dremler states. “For that reason, we need more people in our community to speak up and make sure these children’s voices are heard. We want to help ensure that their stay in foster care is as short as possible and that they are placed in safe, loving homes quickly so they can begin to heal.”

There are 110 children in the child protection system in Gila County, and only 18 CASA volunteers to advocate for their best interests.

“Too many children are forced to go through the chaos of moving through the child protection system alone,” Dremler said. “CASA of Gila County needs more volunteers to step up and be a voice for children who desperately need them.”

Joanie King has been a CASA volunteer for 2 years. As a CASA volunteer she advocates for children’s needs in court and in the child welfare system. She helps them through their struggles in foster care. Joanie’s main objective is to help the children obtain the services they need to help them heal from the trauma they experienced and to feel loved and safe.

“We need more dedicated CASA volunteers like Joanie to walk with children every step of the way and ensure

Kearny Police Report According to state law, there are two methods by which police may arrest suspected offenders.

The suspect may be physically taken into the department and booked into jail, or the arresting officer may write a citation and release the suspect to appear in court later. All suspects are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Only criminal citations are listed. All damages are estimates.

Activity listed from Aug. 28 to Sept. 3.

that they are placed into safe, permanent homes as quickly as possible,” Dremler said.

This school year, become a CASA volunteer and help

children in need find safe, permanent homes. For more information, visit casaofgilacounty.org or contact Emily at 928-402-4427.

Kids Need to Read ‘Grow Your Library’ program coming to the Kearny Library

Kearny, AZ – Kids Need to Read (KNTR) will be arriving at the Kearny Library with Grow Your Library, an inspiring library donation program led by KNTR Board Member Gary Mlodzik and his wife Tina.

Inspired by the Mlodzik’s shared love of reading, family, and public libraries, this program delivers free books and story time to local libraries and children during the couple’s travels.

“I developed the Grow Your Library program to introduce a giving culture in the youth we meet at literacy events,” said Mlodzik. “Putting a book in the hands of a child and allowing them to expand their

horizons is magical. Allowing that child to make a small effort in order to share that magic for future generations is a priceless lesson. It is my hope that the children will be proud of the book donations made in their name and tell their friends, thereby further encouraging both literacy and philanthropy.”

The 13th national Grow Your Library event will be visiting Kearny Library at 10 a.m. on Monday, Oct. 23, 2017 with a donation of 240 new books to the library, valued at $3,144, and a special story time presentation for children. At the request of Library Director Janet Danilow, many

of the books selected for this donation are for young adults, however, the adults in the community should love them also. The library is located at 912 Tilbury Dr, A, Kearny, AZ 85137. Each child in attendance will receive a free book and Highlights magazine courtesy of KNTR. They will also learn how they can use their own love of reading to help the Kearny Library earn even more free books in the future. When asked about the motive behind the project, KNTR Executive Director Denise Gary stated, “The importance of reading extends far beyond the mechanics. Its greatest

power is determined by how each person uses reading to shape their lives. Inspiring children to read at an early age allows that vital, lifelong process to begin.”

About Kids Need to Read: Founded with a passion to improve the lives of disadvantaged children by providing inspiring book collections and engaging literacy programs to underfunded schools, libraries, and Continued on page 12

Local area sees increase in bed bug activity Bed bugs.

The name alone can cause shudders of revulsion.

They are just so icky.

While there has been an increase of bed bug activity reported in the Copper Basin area, the Pinal County Health Department reported that the good new is they don’t transmit infectious diseases. The only time the department does step in is when bed bugs are reported at hotels.

Graham Briggs, a Pinal County Health Department official who works in the

infectious diseases office, recommends that if a homeowner has noticed bed bug activity, they should call a licensed pest remediation company.

“Call pest control,” he suggests.

The health department doesn’t track bed bug complaints, but it has seen an uptick in complaints. Briggs explained that this uptick is in line with what is happening nationally. It’s pretty much everywhere, he said.

According to the Centers for Disease Control:

What are bed bugs?

Bed bugs (Cimex lectularius) are small, flat, parasitic insects that feed solely on the blood of people and animals while they sleep. Bed bugs are reddish-brown in color, wingless, range from 1mm to 7mm (roughly the size of Lincoln’s head on a penny), and can live several months without a blood meal.

Where are bed bugs found?

Bed bugs are found across the globe from North and South America, to Africa, Asia and Europe. Although the presence of bed bugs has traditionally been seen as a problem in developing countries, it has recently been spreading rapidly in parts of the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and other parts of Europe. Bed bugs have been found in five-star hotels and resorts and their presence is not determined by the cleanliness of the living conditions where they are found.

Bed bug infestations usually occur around or near the areas where people sleep.

These areas include apartments, shelters, rooming houses, hotels, cruise ships, buses, trains, and dorm rooms. They hide during the day in places such as seams of mattresses, box springs, bed frames, headboards, dresser tables, inside cracks or crevices, behind wallpaper, or any other clutter or objects around a bed. Bed bugs have been shown to be able to travel over 100 feet in a night but tend to live within 8 feet of where people sleep.

Do bed bugs spread disease?

Bed bugs are not known to spread disease.

Bed bugs can be an annoyance because their presence may cause itching and loss of sleep. Sometimes the itching can lead to excessive scratching that can sometimes increase the chance of a secondary skin infection.

What health risks do bed bugs pose?

A bed bug bite affects each person differently. Bite responses can range from an absence of any physical signs of the bite, to a small bite mark, to a serious allergic reaction. Bed bugs are not considered to be dangerous; however, an allergic reaction to several bites may need medical attention.

What are the signs and symptoms of a bed bug infestation?

One of the easiest ways to identify a bed bug infestation is by the tell-tale bite marks on the face, neck, arms, hands, or any other body parts while sleeping. However, these bite marks may take as long as 14 days to develop in some people so it is important to look for other clues when determining if bed bugs have infested an area. These signs include: • the bed bugs’ exoskeletons after molting, • bed bugs in the fold of mattresses and sheets, • rusty–colored blood spots due to their blood-filled fecal material that they excrete on the mattress or nearby furniture, and a sweet musty odor.

To learn more about bed bugs, visit https://www.cdc.gov/parasites/bedbugs/ faqs.html.

Blessed Sacrament to host annual Fiesta

It’s time for the annual Blessed Sacrament Church Fiesta, when great music, food, friends and fun blend together to create a pleasant day flowing into an exciting evening.

Which is as true as it has been, year after year, sometimes with the help of the weather and sometimes in spite of it.

People come from all over the Copper Corridor to attend this event, which commemorates the ringing of church bell by Roman Catholic Priest Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla on Sept. 16, 1810, which began the call to arms that began the Mexican War of Independence. This happened in the town of Dolores in the state of Guanajuato.

In October 1825 this day became known as Mexican Independence Day, While the exact words and give or take between Hildago and the crowd during the Grito de Dolores (Cry of Dolores) are a matter of debate, the spirit of the message was an opposition to bad government and a call to adhere to their faith. This cry of independence has become an integral part of the celebration of Mexico’s Independence Day. On the night of Sept. 15, at 11 p.m., the President of Mexico rings the very same bell, but, from the National Palace in Mexico City. After each ringing of the bell, he then repeats a cry of patriotism based on the Grito de Dolores, known as a Grito Mexicano. This will include the names of important heroes of the Mexican War of Independence who were present during the original bell ringing and end with the threefold shout of “Viva, Mexico!”.

The following day is Fiesta Patrias (Patriot Festival), also Continued on page 13

The new Director of the Chamber will be announced at a community gathering at the Chamber Offices in the Pinal County Courthouse of Friday, Sept. 15, at 6 p.m. It will be an old-fashioned ice cream social with all the goodies. We will learn about the Chamber’s work, meet the new Director and (this is not a paid advertisement) be given the opportunity to join the Chamber in its work for this and coming years. I hope to see you there.

This week I also went to the “rollout” in Superior of the Food Hub Study which the Economic Development groups of southern Gila County and eastern Pinal County sponsored this past year. A food hub is a formal organization as well as an informal

affiliation of people who grow food, make foods (such as cheeses and sauces), or raise animals for market. We learned there are many people who would like to do these things, but need support in doing them. We also learned that the two EDCs (economic development commissions) are working together to help accomplish them.

Rosemary Slotter from Palo Verde RV Park in Dudleyville was also a participant in the meeting. Even backyard gardeners could be part of something like this. A marketing plan is in the works.

Do you realize there is a winery in Gila County (in Young)? Do you know that one of our area ranchers is already selling cuts of high-quality meat on the web? Do you know that some local gardeners are already selling their produce? By working together we can make the label “Product of the Copper Basin” a real player in Arizona’s economy.

Learning a Little About Aravaipa Creek

ike so many rancher families, the Fred and Cliff Wood families had experienced both good and bad times when they had their Wood Brothers Panorama Ranch whose headquarters was located along the western end of Aravaipa Creek in Pinal County, Arizona The children of both families had also taken part in the hard work involved, and the memories of those earlier years are treasured.

Many changes concerning Aravaipa Creek and some of its residents had started in the 1960s. Aravaipa Canyon had become more well-known because of the publicity to “save it”, so many people wanted to come to the canyon, and those who had come through the west end had to first go through our ranch homesite along the creek to see the inner canyon, known as the Box, which wasn’t far upstream of our home. In 1966, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) wanted the inner canyon to be set aside as a Natural Scenic Recreation Area, and then in 1969 the over five-thousand acre Aravaipa Canyon Primitive Area was established, and BLM’s plan was to coordinate recreation, grazing, and other public uses, besides wildlife management.

Naturally, our lives were really affected, so in 1970 we sold our ranch to The Nature Conservancy (TNC), the national conservation organization who claimed their primary objective was to acquire and protect outstanding natural areas. It was

GEORGIE DIGS!

By Georgie Wood Special to Copper Area News

in 1978 that Wilderness designation of the Aravaipa Primitive Area and contiguous lands had been recommended.

I have often wondered what our lives would have been like if we hadn’t sold our ranch when we did. For those who are interested in learning about some of the history of Aravaipa Canyon and some of the people who had lived there, read my 2014 published book A CREEKSIDE STORY - FROM BUCKBOARD DAYS TO ECOTOURISM. It can be obtained via Amazon, and I really appreciate the comments about my book on Amazon by some who had bought my book via Amazon and read it.

FIESTA

Continued from page 11 known as Independence Day in Mexico, and is marked by parades, patriotic programs, marching bands, concerts and other outpourings of celebratory patriotism and community fellowship. This is also celebrated in the United States of America, in areas with large populations of persons with Mexican heritage.

In the Town of Mammoth and the surrounding Tri-Community, the celebration has been an annual event for a very long time. Sometimes, it was large and impressive, with delegates visiting from the Mexican Consulate, and other times the celebrations were more modest in scope.

Regardless of size or impressive title of

visitors, it is an event that brings people in the community closer to each other and reminds of the importance of human dignity.

This year, the Blessed Sacrament Parish Fiesta will be held on Saturday, Sept.

23, at 122 W. Church Dr., Highway 77 in Mammoth. It will start with a 2 p.m. Mass, followed by Joe Arbizo and Conjunto from 3 p.m. through 4:30 p.m. Ballet Folklorico Del Sol will perform from 4:45 p.m. - 5:45 p.m. The Mariachis Corazon de Tucson will perform from 6 p.m. through 8 p.m. and, finally, from 8 p.m. through midnight, Britney y Su Conjunto will round out the performances. All are invited to attend.

• Prickly Pear Cactus Fruit Class with Botanist Patty West at 10:30 a.m. Wish you knew how to pick a peck o’ prickly pears, turning the bright red fruits into syrup you can use in margaritas, smoothies - or a batch of tasty jelly or tangy BBQ sauce? Flagstaff ethno-botanist (and farmer) Patty West is a special guest presenter on Saturday, coaching the finer points of processing ripe fruit of the season. She has been picking and preparing for over 20 years and has her own unique spin on cactus cuisine and will share her favorite techniques for de-spining and processing prickly pears – she may even have a unique desert edible snack for her audience to sample as the class concludes.
