BY PATTI DALEYKrystal Ellsworth has danced on stage with the biggest names in music, starred in a feature film, and is awaiting release of her latest project – Lethal Love Letter, a film shot in 14 days in the heat of a pandemic. “I knew I wanted to pursue dance,” Krystal says, “but I didn’t know I could make a career of it until I went to college.” Considered by some “too sweet” to compete in the cutthroat world of women’s dance, Krystal has been making a living in Los Angeles for the past 15 years as a professional actor/dancer. She got her start at a dance studio in downtown Globe. Krystal Ellsworth takes center stage in the movie Heartbeats, which was filmed in Mumbai, India. Available on Amazon. Courtesy photo.

Chief of Police Meeting the Challenge BY PATTI DALEY “Nothing can prepare you for Globe,” says Chief of Police Dale Walters, a big man in charge of a big mission: To provide security and confidence within our community Through a dedicated commitment To service, integrity and professionalism Kinds of Kale: Kale comes in many kinds. These are the most popular: Curly kale: frilly and versatile, can go in salads, soups, and smoothies Lacinato kale: also called dinosaur kale or Tuscan kale, dark green and rumpled, tenderer than curly kale, great in soups and stews, also works in salads Red Russian kale: oak-leaf shaped, more tender and sweet The biggest challenge for GPD, day in and day out, is simply the number of calls. GPD responds to about 11K calls per year; slightly down during the pandemic. In the past 2 ½ years, police calls included a mass shooting downtown, 5 fatalities on the highway, deaths of infants by neglect, accidental deaths, and other significant crimes. GPD serves not only Globe’s 7200 residents, but 20K from surrounding areas that come into Globe for services, and the many who drive through. Chief Walters is familiar with the pace. He worked in Page, Arizona for 4-5 years, a town smaller than Globe that swells to 150K in the summer with the flow of tourists. “I learned a lot there,” Chief Walters says. “You really had to deal with a variety of things.”

Here are just four of our favorites.

The profile on Pete Page is perhaps one of my personal favorites because it was such a serendipitous eye-opener for me. I had known Pete for nearly ten years as my “appliance repair guy,” who could fix just about anything and could keep old appliances running long past their expiration dates. But when I launched the idea for a Five & Dive Tour to attract motorcycle riders to town that summer, everyone I talked to said I needed to interview Pete Page. His story was richer than I could ever have imagined. Turns out he used to race bikes in England before coming here on a crosscountry trip with a friend on two rented BMW bikes. He told me after the paper came out that so many people had stopped in to say how much they had enjoyed his story. He passed away a couple of years later, and I was so glad we got the story of Pete Page on paper. This idea, of telling the stories of people who make up our community, is a cornerstone of GMT.

The Get Er Done series began in 2014 to celebrate people in the community who were making a difference. Since then we’ve profiled dozens, including Joe Sanchez, Ed Ortega, Susan Hansen, Roberto Reveles, Malissa Buzzan, Bruce Bender, and many others over the years.

APACHE SKATEBOARDS –REDEFINING THE LANDSCAPE

This feature followed on the heels of the documentary “Mystery of Now,” featuring Douglas Miles Jr. and Sr. and the culture they created as a result of launching Apache Skateboards. Our story looks at the skaters and the creators as they continue to attract a following.

LOVE STORY: TONY & ESTER SANCHEZ

We are often inspired by those around us, and Tony and Ester epitomize a series about love stories that was launched with them in mind. We featured their story on their 50th wedding anniversary in 2018. Tony, who played in a band, was rarely available to dance with Ester at events for much of their marriage. Once he retired, they made up for lost time and danced every chance they got. Well known for breaking out in dance while waiting in line, in a crowd, or at an event, they were recently immortalized in Patty Sjolin’s mural in Miami. [EXCERPT] The legacy of perseverance plays a large role in “The Mystery of Now,” just as it has played a large role in Doug Jr.’s life. Spending the last 19 years of his life on a board, fueling the skating movement in San Carlos as a teenager and growing into it as a young adult, at a certain age, he realized he had to make a decision.

A GENERATION OF BEADING: DALE & CLAIRE GILBERT

My profile on Dale and Claire was one of GMT’s first full-length features on the artistry coming out of San Carlos. Dale and I had met through our work at the casino, and I was familiar with his reputation as a beader, but getting an interview was another thing. As I would find out, it’s not in the nature of Apache people to talk about themselves, but I was able to convince him that stories like his were important to tell – not only for our readers, but for future generations to know.

The craftsmanship. The lessons learned along the way. The partnership and mentors who made it possible. These continue to be important in the stories we tell.

In 2019 GMT did a year long series on Women in Mining and profiled 12 women who hold various jobs in local mining operations. In 2020 we focused on Second Generation Miners - individuals who had followed in the steps of family members and now work in mining.

THE EVOLUTION OF A BAND: THE SOUNDS OF MIAMI

Music has always been a big part of GlobeMiami’s history, and its early roots go back to the George Sanchez Orchestra. Their influence lives on in the Globe-Miami Centennial band, which we profiled in 2014, and the band Imagine, also known simply as “Neto and Band.” [EXCERPT] With trumpets, trombones, and saxophones in hand, Miami Big Band Sound has entertained at First Friday events like this – as well as reunions, weddings, benefits, birthdays and anniversaries anywhere from here to Kearny and Phoenix – for the last 24 years.

NANCY SHEPPARD: LIVING THE RODEO DREAM

We have lots of talented, noteworthy people who have led big lives and have the stories to tell. It’s what keeps GMT going. One of those is Nancy Sheppard, whom we interviewed in 2015, when she was 85. She performed in rodeos from California to Boston to Texas before coming back to Gila County with her husband Lynn and raising a family. At 85, she was still doing rope tricks and performing at local events.

THRU THE YEARS

Globe Miami Times initiated the Society pages in 2007 and it has remained popular with our readers for over 15 years. Here is a random collage of the images we’ve featured during that time.

NOTEWORTHY EVENTS HOSTED BY GMT OVER THE YEARS

FINAL SALUTE

When the the Hollis family announced they would be closing the Drive-In in the summer of 2013, I felt it was something that should have its own event to mark the occasion. After getting approval from Bobby Hollis, we went to work on planning for that fall. The event attracted the notice of newspapers and radio stations from around the state and was even carried by NPR. We brought in 7 tons of sand for a dance floor, got the use of the casino’s mobile stage, designed custom popcorn cans and keychains and gave out prizes for dance, dress and group presentations.

“Tonight’s movie was supposed to be that Charles Grodin/Robert De Niro flick, “Midnight Run.” It was partially filmed in Globe. However, 35 millimeter prints of it simply don’t exist anymore. But looking around the Apache’s grounds, maybe that was meant to be. It’s hard to imagine a 1980’s crime caper stirring up this much excitement - or a Big Hair Contest.“ Stina Sieg, KJZZ The full story can be found on the GMT website: Final Salute to the Apache Drive In, along with our photo album from both the event and the photo booth.

GHS CENTENNIAL

Globe’s Centennial was produced by a committee of many individuals who designed a memorable 4 day event for locals and alumni, many who flew in from all over the US to celebrate this milestone for their alma mater. GMT produced a special publication on behalf of the Centennial which included local business ads. We took this one step further by getting current students to participate in the ads by showing up at local businesses. In addition, we played off the fact that despite a fierce rivalry between Globe Tigers and Miami Vandals, many successful marriages and work environments are a mix of Tigers and Vandals. It was fun for everyone to put these together.

Globe Miami Times was thrilled to bring Mountainfilm on Tour to Globe Miami in the fall of 2019 and be able to feature the San Carlos documentary film, “The Mystery of Now,” which had been selected by Mountainfilm to include in their world tour that year.

In addition, thanks to the efforts of Superintendent Jerry Jennex, and his staff at High Desert Middle School, we had a beautiful new screen and sound system worthy of a Mountainfilm production and the ability to seat hundreds.

Thanks to our sponsors, we were able to book Mountainfilm on Tour for two days and arrange for 2 separate showings at the school ; one geared to middle school kids and a second one geared to high school age kids. Both Miami and San Carlos bused kids in for these showings and the night of the big event we hosted over 300 people.

FIVE AND DIVE

The idea of the Five and Dive Tour was prompted by a need to generate some traffic for our bars and restaurants during the long, hot summer months and someone told me that bikers ride “no matter what!” So we designed a tour geared towards those who prefer to cruise the back roads on two wheels and worked with over 30 merchants throughout the area who participated in the event. We made it into a scavenger hunt which ran from June 18th to September 10th in which riders could complete the loop, and collect points for prizes.

Thank you to the GMT community for supporting us for 15 years through various local projects and events!
