Trail Running in Globe by Patti Daley

eid Burrows, 27, an ultramarathoner from New Brunswick, Canada, has run all over the U.S., and for two weeks in March 2022, he ran around Globe. “Globe is a hidden gem for the trail community,” he says. “It’s a hidden gem in Arizona.” Reid came to Arizona to train for the Canyons Endurance Run, a 100-kilometer route with a 16,000-foot ascent. The event will be held in California on April 23rd. The top three finishers get into Western States 100, an iconic 100 mile race. “I was looking everywhere around the Phoenix and Tucson areas and saw this tiny town surrounded by mountains,” Reid says.

RCAC Comes to Globe

Reid Burrows, who came to Globe to train for a 100-kilometer route in April, says Globe was just the place to focus on training. He found trails, like the 651, that were still open despite many closures due to the fires last year in the Pinals.

The Return of Our Forests by Patricia Sanders

When the Telegraph and Mescal fires blazed across the hills, searing the earth and sending much of the vegetation up in smoke, it probably looked like the end of the world – or at least the end for the forest. The reality is less apocalyptic – and the fires could even turn out to benefit much of the land they burned. According to UofA fire ecologist Molly Hunter, it takes about a year after a fire to determine what its long-term effects will be. For the Telegraph and Mescal fires, an assessment will be undertaken this summer. Then we’ll have a better idea how long recovery will take, and what it will look like in various areas.

Jim Lindstrom’s Oh-Sew-Interesting Hobby by Deborah Dove

“I’ve always had a weird fascination with cameras and sewing machines”

While COVID-19 presented numerous challenges for most Americans, for Globe’s Jim Lindstrom, the pandemic also launched a new passion: restoring old sewing machines. A modern-day Renaissance man of sorts, the Pickle Barrel Trading Post manager was already a gifted graphic designer, gardener, and photographer. But about a year ago, when he grew bored with photography, he revisited his childhood interest in sewing machines.

s we were going to press this weekend, Globe’s downtown district was filled with lots of people, cool cars, and a heap of motorcycles from one end of the Historic District to the other. The cool cars on North Broad come to Globe in droves each year for the Wings of Hope Show ’n’ Shine event, which is celebrating its sixth anniversary this year. The hundreds of motorcycles are part of the 17th Annual Firefighter Charity Ride. And in Miami, their monthly Second Saturday event is under way, including building tours, live entertainment, and a chance to explore Sullivan Street. The event organizers who create these opportunities for all of us to rub shoulders and enjoy the company and sense of community they bring are to be applauded. Much, if not all, of the effort to organize, manage, and run the events is done by passionate volunteers. They bring so much pleasure to what it means to live here - in a small community. So thanks! And speaking of events, the annual Spring Fling in downtown Globe will be back on May 7. The organizers are expecting an even bigger crowd this year than last…and last year they had over 1,000 people. It’s a fabulous family/community event! Another labor of love, where people donate their time and talents so we can all have a muchneeded smile or laugh, is the Community Players. After a year-long hiatus thanks to Covid, they’re back with a new stage production of “You Can’t Take It With You.” All the monies from ticket sales go towards keeping theater alive and well here. And a good investment can be found in the season ticket of $65, which gets you into all their performances (p. 1). Finding a passion and a way to Just Do It, as Nike might say, is a hallmark of our feature stories on Reid Burrow, who left his job to see if he can make it as a professional runner (p. 1), and Jim Lindstrom, whose latest passion in restoring old sewing machines will have you wanting one - even if you don’t sew (p. 1)! There is much to appreciate and celebrate about life here in Globe-Miami. Small-town rural life is pretty good! Look for our two special projects coming up which are aimed at highlighting that fact: the Senior Tribute and the Business & Community Guide for 2022-23. Our high school seniors are all getting ready to graduate this May, and we’re in the process of putting together our annual Senior Tribute featuring Globe, Miami and San Carlos seniors. We hope you’ll join us in congratulating them. We’re offering parents a special rate to showcase their senior in the publication. (See p. 14 for details.) A passion of mine has always been to represent the full spectrum of the Globe-Miami community, and while weekly or monthly publications can bring you snippets of what it’s like to live, work and play in our community, so far there’s been nothing that has pulled all that we are under one umbrella. That’s the driving force behind this annual publication which looks at our commerce, community and culture in Globe-Miami. (p. 2). The Business & Community Guide offers a complete overview of the Globe-Miami community - from health care to mining, and recreation to entertainment. Even many longtime local residents aren’t aware of the full range of opportunities and activities. But the guide really comes into its own as a way to introduce prospective investors or hires, visitors, and family friends to our story. It’s everything we all know from years of living here, in one attractive package. Being able to tell our story just by putting the Guide in someone’s hands will be a win-win for them – and for us as a community. Please make sure you’re represented in this annual guide, and join us in telling that story.

OPINION

APRIL 2022

The Taste of Change by Patricia Sanders

Bananas used to be better – back in our greatgrandparents’ day. They tasted better and had a nicer texture, and didn’t bruise so easily. The old bananas were a kind called Gros Michel (Big Mike, in English). But a fungus killed the Gros Michel plants starting in the 1890s. By 1947, they’d been replaced by a different type, called Cavendish. The industry chose Cavendish because it shipped better and resisted the fungus. The fact that it tasted worse apparently wasn’t really a consideration. If all you’ve ever had is Cavendish bananas, you wouldn’t know what you’ve been missing. You might just think bananas aren’t that great. Imagine being someone living in the 1940s, who loved bananas, and all of a sudden bananas changed and stopped being good. But loss has been happening for a long time. It’s a fact of life. A few years ago I visited Australia and went for a walk with a local guy, and he pointed out a koala bear high up in the treetops. I couldn’t see it, but I thought, that’s all right, I’ll have another chance. I didn’t ever see a koala on that trip. I always thought I’d go back to Australia someday and see them. Since then, the population of koalas has been decimated. They were already in trouble from loss of habitat and other pressures, but Australia’s bushfires two years ago severely affected the forests where they lived. Those fires burned 47 million acres – 10 times the size of the Rodeo-Chediski fire. Koalas are now listed as endangered, and they’re a lot harder to get to see. When I think of loss, I always remember a man I saw at a lecture once, who had been in two horrible accidents in a row, leaving him a quadriplegic. He had a great outlook on life: he said, “Before my injuries, there were five million things I could do with my life. Now there are four million.” Is the lesson to appreciate simple things like bananas while you can? To do things while it’s possible – even if you think it always will be? I think so. The phrase “carpe diem” – seize the day – was invented in ancient Rome, which tells you people have always needed to be reminded to live life to the fullest. But something else is going on, too, something new. Loss has always been a fact of life, but the people living on Earth right now are experiencing it in spades, maybe more so than any generation since Nero’s. Probably more than that, even. We’re living through a mass extinction of animal and plant species – a thing that hasn’t happened before in human history. (The last mass extinction was 65 million years ago.) We’re living through climate change that is drastically reshaping our world. Within a decade or two, the Arctic won’t be frozen anymore, the Amazon could well have changed from rainforest to savanna, and the coastlines of the world will be significantly redrawn. The Earth has needed us to change, and we haven’t. Last week’s report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change shows we’re standing on the edge of the cliff. We need to stop moving toward disaster, and start backing away – fast – now. That means drastic, immediate change. To have any hope of avoiding the worst outcomes for the climate, we need to cut greenhouse gas emissions significantly – today. Either way, whether we act or whether we don’t, change is upon us. When I’m out for a walk with my puppy and he decides to sit down and stop walking, I pick him up and carry him. That’s what’s happening to us. The world is not going to let us sit still any longer. But that isn’t all bad. I carry my puppy because I know where we’re going, and he doesn’t. I know how big the world is and that even though he’s enamored by some little piece of trash or doo-doo, he’ll be happier when we get where we’re going.

And that’s the lesson I want to take from the bananas and the koalas. Not to take things for granted. But also to accept the inevitability of change. Resisting change has gotten us in this mess, and paradoxically, has practically locked in a bigger change. Having been through massive, overwhelming changes in my own life, I know how hard it can be to believe it’s not the end of the world. Every time, those changes showed me the world is much bigger than I thought it was. That change and loss are real and painful, but always give way – eventually – to growth and wonder. The Earth-scale changes we’re beginning to undergo pose a challenge to faith in a larger world, a larger purpose. That, in itself, may be their unexpected gift. Just a few days ago I had a loquat for the first time. They’re ripening now on a big tree near my house. It’s a yellow fruit, the size of a walnut, with soft flesh, like a very ripe plum. They taste like a mix of apricot, plum, and cherry. They’re delicious. My puppy likes to have a bite. Change is terrifying, and loss feels tragic. But when you work your way through the fear and grief, change can taste like a loquat. It’s never really the end – I believe that. Change is just change. Even when it’s a doozie.

MAYOR’S MONTHLY REPORT AL GAMEROS | CITY OF GLOBE COVID UPDATE

the city limits of Globe. This plan is for the development of an 84-home community. We look forward to this project coming to fruition in the future.

The number of positive covid cases in March continued to decrease throughout Arizona and Gila County. The number of new cases in Arizona for the month was 26,411 with a daily average of 880. Hospitalizations are also down from 1,316 last month to 1,169 this month. The number of Covid related deaths for the month was 1,560. In Gila County, the total number of new cases for March was 220 an average of 7 per day. In our Globe-Miami-San Carlos community, new cases for March were 95 for an average of 3 per day We need to be aware and stay updated on the new variant, BA.2 which is growing in numbers and is responsible for 55% of all new cases across the nation. Although we are at a point now where we can enjoy a decrease in restrictions, be aware that there are still many people who are not vaccinated and this virus is not over. The CDC is now recommending that indoor masking can be eased up and leaving it up to businesses on how they move forward with enforcement. Please continue to respect those who choose to continue to mask up until they reach their own comfort zone. We should keep our contingency plans in place to immediately address spikes as they occur and keep them from getting out of control. The Gila County Health, Emergency, and Prevention Department continues to recommend getting a vaccination and booster shot. For questions, you can contact the Health Department Hotline at 928-2007668. To schedule a test, call 928-961-1284. To schedule a Covid vaccination or booster, call 928-910-4009.

ONE CENT SALES TAX INCREASE At the March 22nd meeting, an initial public hearing was held to discuss and consider a text amendment to the City Tax Code for a proposed increase of up to 1% in sales tax excluding retail food for home consumption. After closing the public hearing, Council moved forward to begin the process and approved Ordinance 880, relating to the Privilege License Tax, amending the city tax code by increasing the rate of taxation from 2.3% to 3.3%. This qualifies as the first reading and a public hearing is scheduled for May 24, 2022. The vision of this council has remained focused on growth and progress and the needs of our city in regard to the quality of life for our residents. We need to think bigger and bolder of our city and not be complacent with existing conditions. Our council and staff have continued to work hard for the past four years to build a sustainable economic future for our city. These measures included the completion of a branding and marketing campaign and the creation of an economic development plan. We added an Economic Development Department in 2018 for the first time in our city’s history, to take the lead that has helped elevate our city to the next level for tourist attraction and become a final destination point. Our population has remained the same for many between 7,200 – 7,500, but we service four times that amount on a daily basis with a drive-through traffic count of vehicles around 30,000. Many cities have seen the increases in population to help bring additional revenues in property taxes and state shared revenues. We have not seen that type of growth in our city, but we are now experiencing an increase in the

RAYES RIDGE DEVELOPMENT On March 8th, Council approved the initial plat plan for the Rayes Ridge Development. This is a 25-acre area just south of the Community Center within

activity and interest of visitors. Our city resources such as fire, police, public works, and our roads are utilized by many non-city visitors and our city residents foot the entire cost. So how do we spread these costs to everyone that utilizes these resources? The one way to help recover some revenue is to put in place an appropriate and proportional sales tax so visitors and non-city residents help pay for services provided. Through our Strategic Action Planning process, we have identified the need for continued upgrades to our infrastructure, facilities, and equipment. We have also identified the need for investments in our most important city assets, and that is our employees. In 2022, we will see new projects with the completion of the new Community Center Pool, installation of new playground equipment at both City Hall and the Community Center, installation of outdoor exercise equipment at the Active Adult Center, and the installation of water filling stations throughout the downtown area. All these upgrades require continued maintenance and manpower to make them sustainable projects for the entire community. Our Economic and Development Services Department has been extremely busy with the interest in new proposed projects from investors and developers. The deficiency in our community with the lack of housing and rentals is being addressed on a daily basis by our staff with the potential of four new housing developments coming to our city. Our community has not had any large housing developments since the early 70s. Our everyday residents will not really see a difference in their everyday purchases, but the return in revenue to our city from non-resident taxes will have an effect of four times the amount. The 1% increase does not apply to food purchased at the grocery store for home consumption. The 0.3% portion of the city sales tax is solely dedicated to paying the unfunded liability for public safety and has a sunset clause once it is paid off. I encourage our city residents to reach out and talk to me, your city council, staff, or City Manager to learn more and have a better understanding of the vision of our city. You can also visit our City of Globe website to see our updated Strategic Action Plan.

STUDENT MURALS We hope that everyone has had the opportunity to see the murals that are painted on the North wall of the Silver King building in the historic downtown. This mural project was made possible by funds awarded to the City of Globe’s Arizona Creative Community Team (AZCCI) from the Arizona Commission of the Arts. A portion of the grant was dedicated for a community student interaction mural project. We were able to partner with Mary Yazzie, Art Teacher at Miami High School, and students from her Career and Technical Student Leadership Organization (CTSO) to create six murals, draw them on the wall and paint them. The AZCCI city team then partnered with the I Art Globe team, who have been very active in bringing art to our community to create an additional four murals to be painted on the back part of the wall. They completed that project with the help of many volunteer families, students from the Future Farmers of America FAA, and 4H members. This entire project is a huge win for our community. We want to thank everyone involved that helped complete this project.

FIRST FRIDAY EVENTS AND DOWNTOWN CRUISE The “First Friday” events continue to grow each month with more participation from downtown businesses, vendors, and cruisers. Everyone is invited to participate in the downtown cruise that begins at 6 pm. We invite all the community to come downtown and support the participating businesses and enjoy live music, food trucks, and vendors. Anyone wishing to set up a vendor booth during any First Friday event may do so at no cost by contacting Linda Oddonetto.

by Vincent Amico

My name is Vincent Amico, and along with my wife, Pam, I founded Arizona Paranormal Investigation & Research Society (AZPIRS) in 2009. My first paranormal experience was as a child of six seeing my recently passed grandfather. While my encounter was not frightening, I was confused. My grandfather was supposed to be in heaven, but here he was smiling at me and watching me play. My parents wrote it off as my imagination, leaving me with my unanswered question: Why? There was no one for me to turn to. Since then, I have been researching and investigating the paranormal for over four decades, looking for the answer. The job of a paranormal investigator is to help others with their encounters. We give people the opportunity to express what they experienced, and provide guidance. Our paranormal team has had the pleasure to investigate some incredible locations in Arizona, including the Orpheum Theater in Phoenix and the 1910 Gila Jail in Globe. Over the years, we’ve seen some wonderful buildings torn down to make way for parking lots or strip malls. Once a piece of history is gone, it can never be replaced. While paranormal investigating is our core function, historic preservation and restoration are also priorities for us. Our fundraising program, operated as AZ Ghost Tours, is our way to give back to these historical locations and help their supporters raise money for upkeep and preservation. AZ Ghost Tours, along with Molly Cornwell and the Historic Globe Main Street Program, is pleased to announce we will be hosting the Ghost of Globe ParaCon this spring. The event will be held at the 1916 Train Depot Complex and Museum at 230 S. Broad Street on May 14. While the theme of ParaCon is the area’s history and its influence on the paranormal, the event is really all about community. There will be a vendor area free to the public with a variety of vendors and artisans, many from the community, on hand where you’ll find stones, crystals, jewelry, tarot, Anime, special creations, authors, psychics, paranormal teams and more. Ghost of Globe ParaCon will feature several speakers, all Arizona residents, from a variety of paranormal fields. These experts - many seen on various Travel Channel shows - will present compelling lectures and workshops for both the skeptic and believer. In the early evening, you’ll have a chance to mix and mingle with our celebrity guests at a meet-and-greet. For entry to both the lecture/workshops and the meet-and-greet we ask for a $10 donation per person. Seating is limited. The event will also include a historic tour down Broad Street with a local historian - a chance to learn about the various buildings and events from times past. On Ghost Tours at the 1910 Gila Jail, you’ll learn of the haunted history of the Old Gila Jail and possibly see paranormal evidence. We ask for a $10 donation per person for each tour. In the evening, Ghost Hunts will happen at four of the most haunted locations in the area, led by seasoned paranormal investigators. You’ll use the latest equipment seen on TV used by professional paranormal investigators. Spend the night roaming these locations and try to communicate with spirits who have not yet left. Prices start at $30 per person. Attendees under 16 years will need to be accompanied by an adult. For more information and to purchase tickets, visit www.gogparacon.info. All proceeds will be donated to the Historic Globe Main Street Program. Come out for fun, learn about the paranormal, and help keep history alive!

RCAC brings annual conference to Globe

PHOTO BY DAVID ABBOTT

by David Abbott

The organization that provided resources to help establish Globe’s Economic Development Department (EDD) is coming to town for its annual retreat this month, in an effort to show its members the results of their work and to highlight the successes of the Building Rural Economies (BRE) initiative in rural Arizona. The Rural Community Assistance Corporation (RCAC) will be bringing 100 people to Globe from across the country from April 18 through 21 for a series of seminars, discussions and events for the nonprofit’s annual retreat. “They’ll be staying at our hotels, eating at our restaurants, and using facilities such as the Depot and the Elks Hall,” says EDD Director Linda Oddonetto. “They’ll be shopping locally and really giving us a chance to highlight our hometown.” RCAC, founded in 1978, is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that works with rural communities in 13 western states to provide “training, technical and financial resources and advocacy so rural communities can achieve their goals and visions.” The City of Globe began its relationship with RCAC in February 2018 with a series of meetings known as “Recharge Our Community Economy,” to get community feedback on the most important aspects of future community development. There was a broad range of buy-in from several community partners including the City of Globe, Gila County, Central Arizona Governments and Local First Arizona, a nonprofit organization committed to economic development in the state. The initial meetings covered a wide range of topics related to economic development including downtown revitalization, housing, education and recreation. The meetings were so popular that the scope of the RCAC work was expanded beyond the original economic development project into the creation of a 3-year partnership to help create a strategic action plan for future economic growth. In addition to bringing economic expertise and perspective to Globe leadership, RCAC provided a $45,000 grant via its BRE initiative to “provide training in comprehensive community economic development to support and develop local assets and talents.” Its goals are to increases local entrepreneurship and jobs; develop catalytic projects that seed additional investments, and develop a supportive, entrepreneurial environment for economic development to thrive. The three-phase program focused on identifying economic opportunities in the community and leaders to guide them. In phase two, RCAC provided training for local entrepreneurs and business owners and phase three focused

“We decided to come to Globe because we’ve been working [here] the last few years.The event is sort of putting a bow on the work that we’ve done, and there is more to come, of course.” – Carol Cohen, RCAC’s Assistant Director of Community Environmental Services

on implementation of the strategic plan created with the support of RCAC. The ultimate goal for RCAC though, is to create selfsustaining programs for its targeted communities. “It’s all about building the community’s capacity,” says Elizabeth Bernal, a Rural Development Specialist for RCAC based in Albuquerque, New Mexico. “We’re kind of working ourselves out of a job by trying to build their capacity to where they don’t need us as much, and then they can teach us.” According to Oddonetto, RCAC gave a boost to her department in its early stages of development. “Our economic development plan was going to happen anyway, but RCAC has been a wonderful resource,” Oddonetto said. “Our partnership has been a win for the city. Economic development is a long game and as a community, we have to be invested and stay true to the plan.” Bringing its annual “in-service” to Globe is a big departure for RCAC, as its corporate offices are located in West Sacramento, California and that is where they traditionally meet. According to Ari Neumann, RCAC’s Director of Community and Environmental Services, the decision to come to Globe came as a result of a decision to spread the wealth to its community partners rather than focusing on a major urban area. Neumann, who is from Genesee, Idaho, a town with a population of about 900, sees Globe as something of a poster child for the success of the BRE initiative that is focused on rural development. “We settled on Globe really quickly, because it’s such a success story with what they’ve done already,” Neumann says. “I’m excited to be going back into rural communities, and supporting a community that’s done so much, to really showcase Globe’s success story.” To Oddonetto, it all comes down to another aspect of a partnership that has brought value to the area beyond its initial investment. “RCAC is a key partner and a great resource we’ve been fortunate to have,” she says. “It’s good for us and exciting for them to see our successes.” u

The Cast of “You Can’t Take It With You”

Community Players Take the Stage with New Production by Kim Stone

The Copper Cities Community Players will perform You Can’t Take It With You on April 28, 29, and 30 at 7 pm. Tickets are $20 each with 2022 season tickets available for $65. Tickets are on sale at the Cobre Valley Center for the Arts. Set in the 1930s, this comedy features the culture clash of two New York City families at opposite ends of the social spectrum. The Sycamores are an extended houseful of quirky individualists who live their lives exactly as they please, ignoring the social pressures that tend to make most people more alike than different. Whether it’s playing the xylophone, ballet dancing, playwriting, snake hunting, or making homemade fireworks in the basement, everyone in the Sycamore clan is free to follow whatever strikes their fancy. The Kirbys, by contrast, are card-carrying members of high society—a distant cry from the devil-may-care Sycamores. Wall Street has made Mr. Kirby a rich man, but the constant pressure of his business obligations has consumed his life. He’s unhappy, but unwilling to admit it. When Kirby’s son Tony falls in love with Alice, the lovely daughter of Paul and Penny Sycamore, the two families are thrust together and forced to reconcile their conflicting values. Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman wrote You Can’t Take It With You in 1936. It was quickly made into an Academy awardwinning film starring Jimmy Stewart and Lionel Barrymore in 1938. In 1979, a more theatrical version starring Art Carney made its way to a wide television audience.

The Copper Cities Community Players The Copper Cities Community Players, more often referred to as just “The Players,” began their first theatrical productions in the early 1980s. At first, performances were staged at the YMCA and local venues around town. In the coming years, volunteers lovingly transformed the original courtroom at the old courthouse into the intimate 100-seat theater we know today. Fire codes required a fire escape and sprinkler system, so the first official production inside the newly restored Old Courthouse Theater was delayed until spring of 1990 with the performance of Twain by the Tail. An elevator was installed in 2015 and continual upgrades in heating, cooling, and other infrastructure have been made over the years. Nearly all of the improvements were funded directly by ticket sales from theatrical productions. A core group of actors, directors, lighting and sound techs, set builders, musicians, dancers, choreographers, composers, and writers has kept the Players a vibrant and growing performing arts community in the Globe and Miami area for the better part of three decades. The musicals Rhythms of Life and Broad Street Does Broadway showcased a wellspring of local singing and dancing with annual productions from the mid-1990s through the 2000s. Little Shop of Horrors, The Crucible, and Moon Over Buffalo are a few of the dramatic plays staged during those early years. Justa Cafe, a musical based on the staff and patrons of a famous local restaurant, was written and composed entirely by local residents, including the late Kip Culver. It was so

popular that the Players reprised it several times, performing it first in 2007, with the latest in 2015. More recent theatrical productions during the 2010s include Lend Me a Tenor, Addams Family, Is He Dead, and Neil Simon’s The Odd Couple and Rumors. For reasons that no one needs reminding, the Players were forced to shut down their annual Spring, Fall, and Christmas productions for all of 2020 and most of 2021. Now, in April 2022, the Players are back in full force and ready to present You Can’t Take It With You.

The Cast The silver lining of the two-year performing hiatus is that February 2022 auditions attracted some new talent that will showcase their acting chops in the current production of You Can’t Take It With You. This new slate of actors making their debut performances includes Justin Rockhill as Tony and Aly Buhler as Tony’s love interest Alice. Linda Alvarado portrays Rheba and her reallife husband Paul Alvarado plays Rheba’s boyfriend Donald. Nick Smyers plays Ed, and Laura Nordan channels the uppity Mrs. Kirby. Offstage, Justin Rockhill works for Southwest Gas alongside fellow actor Jason Marr. Justin often brings along his loyal dog Gatlin, who obediently sleeps quietly and unnoticed through every rehearsal. Aly Buhler is a self-proclaimed stay-at-home-dog-mom and is currently finishing up a Masters’s degree in social work. After growing up in Globe, Nick Smyers graduated from ASU and returned home to do public relations work for Cobre Valley Regional Medical Center. The Alvarados are happily retired and generally bring their teenage grandkids along to watch every rehearsal. Laura Nordan’s previous travel schedule with ADOT as a Water Resource Specialist had prevented her from auditioning with the Players, but now that she works from home, she has found the time to get up on stage. Along with all these fresh recruits come the familiar faces of veteran actors with a long pedigree of productions under their belts. These seasoned actors need no introduction and include Cathy Montoya, Rudy Amador, Jason Marr, Guillermo “Willy” Thomas, Laura Stenerson, Kim Stone, Eileen Harbison, Chris Jones, and JohnyD and Moquie Flores. Each of these experienced actors has committed anywhere from a handful of years to several decades to bring Copper Cities Community Players productions into existence on stage. Their familiar presence and perseverance have helped keep community theater thriving in Globe/Miami.

The Crew None of these theatrical productions would be possible without a director at the helm, and for the past few decades, that has been JoNell Brantley Thomas. She and her full-time team member and husband Guillermo “Willy” Thomas know all too well of the vast undertaking required to pull these plays together. Often what happens behind the scenes can be filled with more drama than anything that happens on stage. (Someone should write a play about that.)

Aly Buhler (Alice) and Justin Rockhill (Tony)

Laura Nordan (Mrs. Kirby) and Rudy Amador (Mr. Kirby) Sets must be built and volunteers need to do make-up, music, props, tickets, costumes, lights, sound, and a hundred other details that can make or break a production. All of this takes a coordinated team willing to work outside the limelight with little expectation of glory except a small mention in the program. Along with the spate of newbie actors in You Can’t Take It With You comes Cecil Anthony Hernandez. He wrote and directed a one-act play for the Players three years ago, but now he’s fulfilling the job of JoNell’s right-hand man as Assistant Director and Producer for this full-length production. Originally from Gilbert, AZ, Anthony has a background in screenwriting, directing, and music production.

GOOD NEWS AROUND GLOBE

INSIDER’S SCOOP

PHOTO BY LCGROSS

The Copper Hills Family Advocacy Center is one of those community projects which Chief Walters and his leadership team strive to foster. The facility, which opened last May, was spearheaded by Detective Sergeant Steve Williams. It is designed to help victims of crime receive the assistance they need here without transporting them to another facility.

Moving to the Forefront Globe Police Department

by Patti Daley Chief Dale Walters says there are two things cops hate – 1) status quo 2) change. He’s the exception. “I love change,” he says. “If you’re not at the forefront, you’re falling behind.” To date, he has focused on partnerships and training, personnel and professionalism. “There’s not a whole lot that’s the same,” says Chuck Haines, who joined Globe PD in 1996. “We’ve got a whole new department.” After serving the department as a patrol officer, narcotics agent, criminal detective and squad patrol sergeant, Haines retired in 2016 and went on reserve. “Things were not running too smoothly,” he recalls. “It was difficult to get funding for different things. We didn’t have the best equipment… or pay. Things were in shambles.” Then Dale Walters became Police Chief in late 2018. He took Mike Boyd and Chuck Haines to breakfast and served up his vision. “Everything was going to get touched,” says Chuck. “Building, cars, pay… and he was accurate.”

Facilities & Equipment The remodeling of the police station is nearly complete. For the first time in history, Globe PD has a professional interview room. The old drunk tank has been converted into a breakroom and the basement is under construction to become an onsite training space and co-ed locker room. Dale Walters, Chief of Police, spends a lot of his time in meetings, on boards, building partnerships, but he’s also been known to do drywall patches and take out trash. Lieutenant Steve Williams deals with day to day management of patrol and criminal investigation units and Commander Chuck Haines oversees the civilian staff, coordinates personnel training and applies for grants. “I’m a paper pusher,” says Commander Haines with a laugh, “the administrative guy.” His paperwork results in grant funding for everything from equipment upgrades to overtime pay for officers. The speed display signs on Highway 60 that reduce traffic injuries and fatalities along the corridor. “It’s not always about law enforcement,” notes Chief Walters. “Sometimes it’s about awareness.” Purchases of new police vehicles were made through AZ CARES funding in 2021 and a federal grant from Homeland Security is currently being used for radio improvements. Globe PD teamed up with Globe Fire, Tri-City, Miami PD, Gila County on the application. The first year $80K was awarded and fully funded digital radios for Globe PD and the Gila County Sheriff’s office. The final $200K has been approved; these funds will fully outfit both fire departments and Miami PD with radio handhelds and vehicle radio upgrades. “With the digital upgrade we’ll have a better system of communication which in turn is going to benefit the community,” says Chuck Haines. The federal Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) grants put more police officers on the streets to build community trust and safety. Applications open in April. Globe PD has one grant-funded School Resource Officer (SRO) splitting time between the senior and junior high schools. For the size of the community, two would be beneficial, according to Commander Haines.

“It’s always a major benefit to develop the relationships with the students at that level,” he says, “it develops trust with the department and pays off in the end.” Commander Haines is also working on one of the department’s top priorities – accreditation by Arizona Chiefs of Police (ACOP). He is responsible for providing proof of compliance with each policy. “Not just policies, its leadership, changes to training and personnel,” says Chief Walters. According to Chief Walters, ACOP accreditation was designed for rural agencies, but could be adopted statewide and is essential for a professional department. “It forces you into progressing as social norms and laws and expectations change,” says Chief Walters.

Drugs & Mental Health Though a lot has changed in law enforcement technology in a quarter century – body-worn cameras, computers in the vehicle, tasers – the problems that police deal with in Globe, have not. Drugs and domestic violence remain high on the list. There have been recent improvements. Training helps officers know the difference between someone on drugs and someone having a mental health crisis. Officer Roman Hernandez has a particular interest in drug interdiction and says it’s about more than preventing overdoses. “There is a lot of domestic violence and a lot of time there are drugs involved,” he says. “A lot of traffic stops with drugs affecting their driving.” Police can call for a Behavioral Health Counselor to come out and assess a suspect. They can help get people placed in mental health care facilities. With few beds available, however, most end up in jail. “Law enforcement is not the solution for mental health issues, says Chief Walters. “We cannot arrest our way out of this; there has to be something else.” Dale Walters spent years undercover and then nearly seven as head of the Narcotics department in Chandler. Some of the worst experiences he’s had in law enforcement are witnessing the impact that illegal drug use has on individuals, the victims of crimes and the devastating impact on families. “Whether it’s alcohol or hard drugs, if people understood the devastating impact it has on families and societies, they’d stop celebrating it like it’s something cool,” he says. The general population, he adds, doesn’t realize how overpowering addiction can be. “People will do almost anything to fill that need,” says Dale Walters. “You can’t see a counselor every two weeks and kick it. You need to be in a facility.” “Probably the greatest need is for mental health assistance,” says Commander Haines. “It’s almost nonexistent. We’re dealing with the same people over and over again.“ “If we could take the politics out of everything we’d get a lot more done,” says Chief Walters. “We’ve got to start looking at things reasonably.”

Community-Facing Activities “We serve the community,” says Chief Walters. “We want to be part of the community,” To counter the negativity inherent in the profession, officers are encouraged to participate in public events and connect with the citizens in the community, especially children.

Commander Chuck Haines joined the department in 1996. “There’s not a whole lot that’s the same,” he says. We’ve got a whole new department.” He is taking the lead on one of the department’s top priorities- accreditation by the Arizona Chiefs of Police. (ACOP) “Kids can get scared of police, fire or anyone in uniform,” says Roman Hernandez. “It allows us to make a positive impact on them.” Roman Hernandez, 28, is a Globe PD patrol officer and father of five. He recently participated in a mock DUI for Globe High School students to educate kids on the importance of seat belts and the dangers of texting and driving. Done in collaboration with Arizona Youth Partnership, CVRMC and Globe Fire,drama students acted as patients and airevacuated. Counselors on scene for students who may be emotionally triggered by the event. A graduate of Miami High School, Roman has worked on railroads, mines and the oil fields of Texas. All his street time has been in Globe, under the leadership of Chief Walters. “No two days are the same,” he says. “Everything changes.” It is an extremely busy agency, says Commander Haines. “If they’re not out on a call, they’re writing up reports.” Currently Globe PD is fully staffed but not fully deployable; some personnel are still being trained. More officers and staff live here than do not. Chief Waters would like to achieve 80% staffing (34-36 officers), to allow for vacations and training without overtime. “A lot of days when we’re going from call to call to call,” says Officer Hernandz. “If you need an extra person for a fight in progress, you can’t get that.” He makes a point to end each day in normal conversation with someone getting coffee at Circle K. “There are a lot of people who reach out,” adds Officer Hernandez. “ I’d like to see more of that. I would like everyone to see that we’re humans. We have feelings.” Chief Walters puts an emphasis on hiring men and women that live in the area. “When I started looking at people within the Gila County region that had longevity, they were from here,” he says. Together with law enforcement from all over the region, Globe PD will support a 1-year academy at Gila Pueblo Community College campus. “We’ll work together to make it successful,” says Chief Walters. All part of the “can-do” attitude he likes best about the community of Globe. “Obviously, we have our critics,” says Commander Haines, “but for the large part we have an immense level of support for the department.”

Exploring Highway 77, Tucson to Globe photos and story by David Abbott

olcanic activity and millennia of erosion from wind and water shaped east-central Arizona over the course of millions of years. Through this region runs one of southern Arizona’s most scenic stretches of highway – Arizona State Highway 77 between Globe and Tucson. Over the course of geologic history, natural forces have also made the area one of the richest in valuable minerals – including, of course, king copper. Mining these resources has further reshaped the landscape in the past two centuries. Not only is the region rich in minerals, but it is rich in Arizona history. Small desert communities such as Oracle, San Manuel, Mammoth, Winkelman and Hayden offer a glimpse into the past – as well as recreational opportunities for visitors and Arizonans who love the natural beauty of the Sonoran Desert.

What to See To the northeast of Tucson, past Catalina and Oracle Junction, Biosphere 2 still stands as a monument to Earth sciences, and a seemingly innocent time when society had a more expansive view of the universe and our place in it. Built between 1988 and 1991, Biosphere 2 was originally intended as an experimental self-sustaining community. It was hoped that the lessons of the experiment would assist in outer space exploration and the possible colonization of other planets. The University of Arizona purchased the 312-acre science lab in 2011 and opened it to the public. You can visit from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. every day of the year except Christmas and Thanksgiving. Go to biosphere2.org for details about ticket prices and tours. Oracle, a short distance from Biosphere 2, combines the elements of a hip art enclave and outdoors Arizona in a fairly remote region – what Tucsonans call the “backside” of Mount Lemmon, at the northeastern foot of the Santa Catalina Mountains. With several good restaurants, Oracle is a great place for a day trip. Start with breakfast at the Oracle Patio Cafe, which features homemade pies. Indoor dining is still on hold due to the pandemic, but there’s plenty of room on the patio. For dinner, try the Ore House Hilltop Tavern, surrounded by mining remnants and sculptures, offering good bar food and 16 beers on tap. For the recreationally minded, Oracle is an Arizona Trail Gateway Community, and Oracle State Park offers miles of trails in an out-of-the-way and low-traffic area. History buffs will want to visit the historic Kannally House, part of the state park, affording a glimpse back at the lives of early ranchers in the region. The house was built between 1929 and 1932 and stood at the heart of what was at one time a 50,000-acre cattle ranch, established in 1903.

An even older frontier home – turned B&B – is the Triangle L Ranch, part of the “Boot Ranch” established in the 1880s by rancher Charlie Moss. The house, built in 1903, is now an “art ranch” featuring ongoing art exhibits and more. For the adventurous, try out the ziplines at Arizona Zipline Adventures, off-road vehicle rentals with Titan Power Rentals, and even caving at Peppersauce Caves, a series of wild underground caverns that have not been developed. Spelunk at your own risk. As an International Dark Sky Park, Oracle State Park is a great place to be at night. Stargazing is at a premium, and the Milky Way is on display most nights. For a taste of Oracle’s night sky, consider attending the Earth Day event on April 23 to celebrate the seven-year anniversary of the park obtaining its dark sky designation. The all-day celebration will feature hikes, workshops, tours and, of course, stargazing after dark. Go to azstateparks.com/oracle/ events/earth-day-event-at-oracle for details. East of Oracle is San Manuel, a living museum of the boom-and-bust cycles of the copper industry. The Magma Copper Company built the town when it began mining copper in the early 1950s, and before long Magma was the largest copper mine in North America. The company town has the distinction of being the first Del E. Webb planned community. Webb was at one time co-owner of the New York Yankees baseball club, but his true claim to fame was as a visionary post-war developer in Arizona. San Manuel thrived for decades through several ownership changes at the mine, but that all came crashing down in 2002 when BHP Billiton abruptly halted operations and shut the mine down. In one horrific day, BHP laid off somewhere between 2,500 and 3,000 people, devastating the town’s economy in one fell swoop. “It was horrible,” says Kathy Phipps, a 50year San Manuel resident who volunteers at the San Manuel Historical Society Museum. “The only thing that got us through it was the way we all came together as a community and helped our neighbors.” On Jan. 18, 2007, BHP demolished two 500-foot-tall smokestacks that had towered over the community for decades, marking a profound metaphoric end to the age of copper in San Manuel. Still, when BHP departed, turning off the pumps and leaving the mine to fill with water, it left a large copper deposit behind. Nowadays, visitors can take advantage of the remote desert of the area around San Manuel. Off-road vehicle rentals are available through Peppersauce Motorsports. San Manuel is home to the annual San Manuel Copper Classic off-road motorcycle race, which brings people from all over the country.

Dennis and Kathy Phipps volunteer at the San Manuel Historical Society Museum. They’ve lived in San Manuel for more than 50 years and experienced Magma shutting down the mine due to a crash of the copper market in 2002.

APRIL 2022

The meat market in Mammoth, offering plenty of great Mexican grocery items and quality meat products. The museum in San Manuel is open Wednesdays and Thursdays, but the friendly volunteers live nearby and will do their best to accommodate visitors who call contact numbers posted on the door. A few miles to the north you’ll pass through another boom/bust town, Mammoth. Although now only a shell of what it once was, Mammoth still has a reputation for great food, found at venues such as the Rancheros Carniceria Mexican market, Mi Pueblito Tortilla Factory and Bakery, and Las Michoacanas restaurant. From Mammoth north, Highway 77 winds its way between the Tortilla, Dripping Springs, Mescal and Pinal mountain ranges, through stands of majestic saguaros and landscapes where myriad desert fauna can be glimpsed. Off the highway just south of Apache Sky Casino, E. Aravaipa Road parallels Aravaipa Creek for 12 miles to Aravaipa West Trailhead. This road is best traveled with a high-clearance vehicle, and recreational users must have permits. For more information, go to ww.blm.gov/visit/ aravaipa-canyon-wilderness. Highway 77 is fairly flat from Mammoth to Winkelman, which sits at the confluence of the San Pedro and Gila rivers before it rolls up to the Pinals through ancient rock formations – the remnants of an ancient inland ocean, overlaid with rocks and lava spewed from the earth during eons of volcanic upheaval. There are several access points to the Gila River along the way. Winkelman is a handy stopping point before the final leg of the journey through the mountains.

Highway 77 Throughout History According to the book Roadside Geology of Arizona, published in 1983, this mountainous region is a remnant of a time when a great inland ocean covered the area more than 2 million years ago. When the ocean receded, it left behind sedimentation including the great limestone deposits that can be seen on the east side of the Gila River just past Winkelman. According to the book, these mountains contain “complex arrays of Precambrian

granite, schist, and quartzite, finely sliced Paleozoic limestone and quartzite, and several Tertiary granitic intrusions, shallow, rapidly cooled masses of porphyry” – the latter of which created the copper deposits that attracted so much attention from humans. The Pleistocene Epoch was replaced by an age of volcanic activity when layers of lava and molten rock dropped over the ancient seabed. Empty magma chambers led to the collapse of the Earth’s crust, which can be seen in the patterns of the limestone ridges surrounding the Gila River. “That’s the heart of the porphyry copper country,” says Globe geologist John Trimble. “There’s Escabrosa limestone that goes through there, and Dripping Springs quartzite. It’s got cool fossils in it: horn corals, arachnipods. It feels like we’re on an oceanfront.” The ancient formations and remnants of creatures that died millennia ago serve as reminders of the blip humans are on the geologic timeline, Trimble says. “It’s designed to make us humble,” he says. “We have not lasted anywhere near as long as the dinosaurs.” More recently in time, the state of Arizona created the road we now know as State Highway 77. According to a history of the Arizona State Highway Department published in 1939, the change from primitive roads and prehistoric trails began in the wake of the Treaty of Guadalupe after 1848, with Arizona’s territorial designation on Feb. 24, 1863. Territorial leaders realized the nascent state’s lack of roads posed a major problem, and improving them was seen as “necessary for the advancement of the Territory.” Once Arizona became a state in 1912, the office of the State Engineer was created, which became the State Highway Department in 1927. The existing 82.8mile stretch of State Highway 77 – from the current intersection of U.S. 70 (Ash Street in Globe) to Oracle Junction – was established in June 1938. The northern stretch of 77 from Globe to Holbrook had already been built in 1930. By the end of 1938, Arizona had built or proposed 3,632.7 miles of highway. Much of the physical work was done by prison or day labor.

After the Fire

ARBOR DAY, Continued from page 1 Telegraph and Mescal fires. It will clear out the understory, get rid of invasive species and allow natives to take their place, and restore nutrients to the soil. Some shrubs are already resprouting, Hunter says. We all would like to know when the Pinals will be open again, and whether they’ll ever be the same again. The area has been closed not so much to protect the forest but to protect people: the fire and subsequent flooding caused washed-out trails, and dead trees could fall. But Hunter says wherever the fire wasn’t too hot – and that does seem to have been the case for the Pinals – the forest will return to the way it was before. “People will be able to enjoy it again,” Hunter says. The one concern is that the same area might re-burn before it has a chance to heal. Re-burning has become more of a problem in recent years because fires have gotten more intense and more frequent. The way the forest grows back could also be affected by recent changes in temperature, rainfall and soil moisture across the year – which could make it harder for seedlings to grow. People can help by being even more careful than usual about fire safety – avoid causing sparks, and don’t drive on dead grass. “With fire comes change,” Hunter says. But the forest will recover, probably much better than most of us imagined when we witnessed the fire’s destruction. u

Initially, Hunter says, there will be a mosaic of effects, depending on the intensity of the fire. Soil burn severity was rated high in the aftermath of the fires only on Madera Peak and on the west side of East Mountain, according to the Forest Service. Since soil burn severity and high fire intensity generally go hand in hand, we can hope that the vast majority of the burn area experienced only low or moderate fire intensity. But even where the fires burned hottest, the effects might not be severe. Those areas tended to be dominated by chaparral and scrub, which tolerate fire well. Although the chaparral will grow back very slowly, it probably wasn’t killed by the flames. Many areas already show forbs growing – the fast-growing, herbaceous annuals that are the first to regrow burned areas. Succession is the term for how burned areas return to life. After the forbs will come the grasses, which eventually will take the place of the forbs. Next, pioneer trees establish themselves, and over time these will drop needles or leaves to create a mulch that will eventually turn into new soil. But that pattern varies and sometimes speeds up. If the original trees weren’t completely destroyed – even if there are just a few left – Hunter says they’ll be able to reseed the forest and renew it much faster. Fire can be good for the forest when it’s low or moderate-intensity – as seems to have been the case for almost all of the

District Announces Finalists for Building-Level Teachers of the Year (TOY) Congratulations to our Building-Level Teachers of the Year! We are thankful for the difference these teachers make in our students’ lives and in our school. This is one of the most important awards that an educator can receive. The selection committee is made up of those who work beside their peers each day. A Teacher Appreciation Luncheon will be held on April 29. The event will honor these finalists and announce the award for the 2021-2022 SCUSD Teacher of the Year.

Mrs. Tiffany Smitley

Mrs. Kim Chae

Rice Primary School Teacher of the Year Ms. Chae is has taught at San Carlos Unified School District for over 26 years teaching various grade levels. Ms. K. Chae is like a ray of sunshine when it comes to her personality, she is fun to be around and is a very positive individual. I am glad she is part of our Rice Primary community she is definitely an asset to our school “family.” She always thinks of her students first and makes sure they are learning in a safe environment. She is patient with her students, taking the time to listen and tend to their needs. When collaborating with her grade-level team, she willingly participates, provides her input, and completes tasks and responsibilities expected of her. Ms.Chae is deserving of this honor and we are proud of her.

Rice Intermediate School Teacher of the Year Ms. Smitley is a dedicated teacher and has served our Apache students for 10 years. Her willingness to accept coaching and feedback has allowed her to grow immensely over the past two years. This is evident in the growth her students displayed in their reading fluency scores during our Amplify benchmark testing. A great deal of learning was lost due to the pandemic, and she was able to help her students close this gap and become grade-level readers.

Mrs. Analiza Ciar San Carlos High School Teacher of the Year

Mr. Greg Sanchez San Carlos Middle School Teacher of the Year Mr. Gregorio Sanchez, a 7th grade math teacher, regularly works to assure his students succeed in math by providing many examples, creating community-building activities and displaying immense patience. Greg says, “Many students find math challenging, but I work to build relationships with them, and by the end of the year many students share a new-found love for the subject.” Students say they enjoy coming to Mr. Sanchez’s class because he makes learning fun. Students regularly seek out Mr. Sanchez to get additional support in not only his own class but other classes as well, and life in general.

A truly excellent teacher knows that content knowledge, lesson preparation, and engaging instruction are secondary to caring for, empathizing with, and promoting an inclusive environment for every single student. Mrs. Analiza Ciar does all of this and a whole lot more. Mrs. Ciar builds a strong sense of community in her classroom, and she does it with patience, respect, and love. In addition to being a creative, dynamic, and inspiring biology teacher, Mrs. Ciar is also the Student Council sponsor, putting in countless hours to ensure these students have a meaningful and fulfilling experience.

Miami Vandals have put the pandemic in the rearview mirror and are moving forward. Over spring break, eleven students from SkillsUSA created and executed a large mural in downtown Globe, one of four projects funded by the Arizona Arts Commission. The invitation for this community project came from Globe Mayor Al Gameros, and Ms. Mary Yazzie and her students went to work. Student muralists included Dennis Davis, Josie Klindt, Elizabeth Mathews, Sara Nesbitt, Trinity De La Torre, Kyra Thornbrugh, Larenz Combs, Dylan Mancha, Nea Mancha, Casimir Terrence and Hannah Pryor.

1910

Irene Vickery was born on April 4, 1910 in Hume, Illinois. She took law and archaeology classes at the University of Illinois and then came to Arizona where she studied archaeology and was part of the archaeology field school at the University of Arizona. She became assistant to Roy Lassiter the project supervisor for the WPA Statewide Archaeological Project and was assigned to “Subproject E”, the excavation of Besh-Ba-Gowah. By the time work at Besh-Ba-Gowah was halted due to the ongoing war effort on October 4, 1940, more than 200 rooms and 350 burials had been excavated. In May 1941 she organized a community pageant, “The Last Days of Besh-Ba-Gowah” that depicted an attack on the pueblo by outside raiders. The pageant became an annual event with a cast of over 100.

Celebrating the life of Irene Vickery Irene, who had married local school teacher Parke Vickery in 1931, was very active in the community. She was a member of the Order of Eastern Star, and was legislative chairman of the Business and Professional Women’s Club of Globe. She reportedly suffered from respiratory health issues when she came to Arizona. The issues were exacerbated by the dusty conditions of her excavation work. Although quite ill near the end of her life, as a Christian Scientist she refused treatment by a physician. She succumbed to what appeared to have been congestive heart failure on January 19, 1946 at the age of 35.

TRAIL RUNNING, Continued from page 1 Globe was just the place to focus on training. No distractions. One coffee shop. “There are trails everywhere,” says Reid. “3 kilometers in every direction I could be on a trail.” In the first week he ran a little over 100 miles. Time on feet: 13-14 hrs. All of it in nature. He ran out Icehouse Canyon to Kellner Canyon and took the windy climb up Sixshooter Canyon to a windmill. Four to five loops around Round Mountain at a time. “I like how simplistic Round Mountain is; you can experience a lot in a very short period of time,” Reid says. Another favorite was the road to Pinal Peak. “651 is still open. It’s so nice to run on – smooth, no cars. Just beautiful,” says Reid. “You close your eyes and run on it, a nice gradual climb.”

A Good Start Reid Burrows was born into a family of athletes. His parents are long distance runners and world class triathletes. He followed his older brother into swimming and then took to triathlons. Reid has raced in triathlons all over the U.S. and Canada, in Mexico and Brazil. He was on an Olympic trajectory and training with the Canadian National Team when a shoulder injury sidelined him. He stopped competing in triathlons in 2017. A year later, to fend off boredom, he decided to run a marathon (26.2 miles) on the trails. “I ran on trails for fun,” says Reid. “I haven’t looked back.” In 2019 he participated in a 12-hour timed event, his first ultramarathon.An ultramarathon, or ultra, is any running race longer than the 26.2 mile marathon (42.2K). Common ultra distances are 50 or 100 miles. Reid ran 125 miles to win the 2019 event.

Photo by a fellow runner taken up by Sedona this winter shows Reid in his element.

“I felt amazing, it was the first time I felt like me. Myself. The whole time.” He raced 2 more 100-milers and was hooked. He ran for records, aka Fastest Known Time (FKT) and nabbed a couple in Ontario, Canada, where he currently lives.

Crew, Sponsor & Mental Health The logistics behind a long race get complicated and analytical, explains Reid. He keeps spreadsheets on his performance. Running for 9 to 11 hours requires fuel and sock or shoe changes. Reid’s father, a business owner and fellow long-distance runner, provides financial, emotional and logistical support. He is Reid’s only crew member. For now. A good crew makes a big difference. “With 30 seconds vs 5 minutes, you can make a lot of gains,” Reid says. “You see your crew 3 to 5 times.” Merrell came on board as a sponsor near the end of 2020. A Race Director in Ontario connected Reid with a representative. “They sent six or seven pairs of shoes and found some I liked,” Reid says.

PHOTO BY LCGROSS

Reid loved the vibe of downtown Globe and says he would like to return someday to live…or train again.

Reid quit his job to devote himself to full-time running, hoping to make it as a professional runner. His biggest fear is not failure; it’s regret, he says.

His current trail running shoe of choice is the Moab Flight. “I don’t feel pressure to perform,” Reid says of the sponsorship, “they see me as a human who suffers and goes through it.” Reid has struggled with mental health and depression. Running, he says, is one way to deal with whatever life throws at him. “When I face adversity in life, it makes me a better runner,” says Reid. “Adversity during running makes me a better human.” Reid takes on weight training in the winter months to strengthen the large leg muscles. “Climbing beats up the bigger muscle

groups,” he says. “You need to strengthen them so they deteriorate slower.” Reid prefers running solo, but when he does run with buddies, he never stops talking. Even during hard workouts. ”It feels like you’re just hanging out,” says Reid. “I’m always having fun.” Maybe not always. Once he threw up 26 times during a 100-miler. He led the race for the first 160K and was passed in the last kilometer to finish second. Not once did he think of stopping. “Once I start something I have trouble not finishing,” he says. “It’s just my mindset.”

Reid had a “sweet job” doing logistics for a concrete company. Salary and benefits and the potential to make a lot of money in a lifelong career. He was good at it. But he’s also an “against the grain kind of person“ so he quit his job and is giving himself a year to make it as a professional runner. His biggest fear is not failure; it’s regret. “I’m basically just running,” says Reid. When he is not running he’s resting, reading, journaling and drinking coffee. Reid posts his thoughts and adventures on Instagram @ReidBurrows and has over 2,100 followers. u

The first Pfaff sewing machine was built in 1862. Originally made for industrial use only, Pfaff expanded into the domestic sewing machine market in 1931. This Pfaff30 electric sewing machine was produced in the 1950s. “This machine is so cool and sews beautifully. The Pfaff 30 is pretty rare so I was really happy to find this one.”

SEWING, Continued from page 1 No stranger to sewing, Jim grew up watching his mother, a gifted sewer (although according to Jim, she hated sewing), make down jackets and other clothes for Jim, his dad, and his brother and sister. “I used to watch her, and I thought it was so interesting to watch this machine make different stitches and zigzags.” Even today, he can spend hours in his sewing room stitching pieces of fabric, which he finds relaxing. “I love the way sewing machines sound, because each one is different,” he says. “Some have this cool vintage clackety sound that I love hearing.” He learned to sew himself in home economics class in junior high, a skill that came in handy in the 1980s when he began making pants with a friend to wear to the dance clubs they frequented. The pants, which flared when you spun around on the dance floor, became so popular the two friends started selling them. Years later, when the pandemic started, Jim’s coworker at the Pickle Barrel convinced him to get back into sewing. He began making masks, which became wildly popular due to their unique, comfortable design and fun southwestern prints. He eventually grew tired of trying to keep up with the massive demand for the masks and started making and selling ribbon skirts instead. “Of course, I needed an expensive sewing machine for that, and then another sewing machine,” he says with a laugh. “Eventually, I decided I needed a vintage one.” After purchasing the vintage machine, Jim wanted to learn to how to take it apart and fix it. He watched videos on YouTube, and before long, he was buying old sewing machines, restoring them, and reselling them at the Pickle Barrel. At any given time, he has four to five he’s selling, and another ten at home that he’s working on. He takes them apart, cleans everything, puts the machine back together, and make sure it sounds right and runs smoothly.

The most exciting part for him is when he gives the machines – which are always filthy – their first bath. “The minute you wipe all that dirt off, you go, ‘Oh my God, this thing is beautiful underneath, especially the ones with really ornate details.’” Although the first sewing machine dates back to 1755, it wasn’t until 1855 that the design was patented for what became the basis of the modern sewing machine. Throughout the 1850s, several inventors continued perfecting the design and applying for patents, each suing the others for patent infringement, triggering what became known as the Sewing Machine War. However, most of the machines Jim refurbishes were manufactured in the 1940s or later. The most popular brands he sees are Singer, Bernina, and Pfaff, but every once in a while, he finds a “clone” – a sewing machine from the 1940s or 1950s sold under a different brand. He finds most of his project machines on eBay, Etsy, the Goodwill Marketplace, and Facebook Marketplace, although sometimes they find him. One time, a woman in a Pfaff Facebook group contacted Jim and wanted him to have her grandmother’s Pfaff 30 because of his obvious love for sewing machines. Regardless of where he finds them, a lot of the thrill is in the chase. “Sometimes you get obsessed with finding them. It’s almost like a gambling addiction,” he laughs. Although he sells most of the machines he refurbishes, he has several that he can’t part with and that remain in his permanent collection. His favorite is a Pfaff 130, which was made in Germany. “It’s the Rolls Royce of sewing machines,” he explains. Another is a Sew-Gem, a rare machine manufactured in the United States that was meant to be comparable to a Singer but easier to use and cheaper to buy. It has a toploading bobbin case with a unique sliding cover and runs on what looks like a miniature bike chain. “It looks so cool and so beautiful. I’ll never get rid of that one,” he says. He also has a machine he calls his “Frankensinger,” a rare, old Singer in almost perfect condition that he modified with

Lindstrom recently refurbished this 1952 Singer 66 with Godzilla/krinkle finish. This type of finish is rarer than the standard gloss finish. Representing exquisite design and amazing stitch quality, Lindstrom says this is a machine he’ll be keeping.

The White sewing machines were a staple of American homes for 150 years. Praised for their solid craftsmanship, they were a workhorse of nearly every family home. This machine manufactured in the 50s is probably one of the last models produced by White. The company lost its contract with Sears Roebuck and was bought by HusqvarnaViking in 1960.

“The reason manufacturers decorated early sewing machines so beautifully is because there was no culture of bringing machines into the home. Back then, machines were strictly used for industrial purposes. By adorning sewing machines in lavish art, manufacturers hoped to make them look more domestic and convince families to purchase them for personal use.” “The History of Sewing Machines” by The Hog Ring.com

different old parts from other machines to make it unique, including adding a better foot, a bigger wheel, a pretty, scrolled faceplate, and a rough, stippled Godzilla finish. Not surprisingly, his 100-year-old home overflows with sewing machines. Four reside in his official sewing room, while the rest are displayed on windowsills and tucked under tables and desks. Occasionally, they’re even outside. In an ironic but serendipitous twist of fate, several years ago he and his partner discovered a coveted Singer Red Eye – a Singer 66 with ornate details – buried underneath their house. Obviously, some

things were just meant to be. It now resides as a piece of art in his home. Jim’s passion for old sewing machines comes at a good time, as sewing has seen a resurgence of popularity in the last few years. But for Jim, it’s about pursuing new hobbies – the things that capture his attention and provide a respite from the stressors and sadness of life. “I just love learning stuff and staying busy with things that make me happy,” Jim says. For the foreseeable future, that means continuing to hunt the perfect old sewing machine to restore. “The next one is always the Holy Grail,” Jim says. “But that’s all part of the fun.” u
