Resolution Copper announces severe budget cuts; political uncertainty cited

Are Grinchy politics stealing Christmas at Resolution? (File photo)

By Mila Besich-Lira On Friday, Nov. 30, 2012, offi cials at Resolu-tion Copper notifi ed their staff and contractors that the budget allocated for the Resolution Copper project has been reduced to $50 million dollars. Rio Tinto who is the primary investor in this project has called for the reduction. In 2012 Resolution Copper was allocated $200 million dollars. The budget reduction will result in the loss of approximately 400 jobs, which is approximately 75 percent of their entire work force, which includes both Resolution employees and contractors. The company expects to reduce their staff by at least 175 by the end of 2012. The plan of action for the budget reduction will include the suspension of the rehabilitation of the Number 9 shaft by the end of the year. By the end of the fi rst quarter of 2013, the Number 10 shaft will be completed but further lateral development of the drifts will be put on hold and no further drilling will be done on the project. According to the US Bu-reau of Labor Statistics, the unemployment rate for the State of Arizona is 8 percent while Pinal County

remains at 8.3 percent and Gila County is at 8.9 per-cent. “To justify further de-velopment, we need more certainty around legislative and regulatory activity affecting Resolution Cop-per,” said Andrew Taplin, project director. “Specifi cally, approval of the land exchange we’ve been seeking since 2005 constitutes the critical path forward,” he continued. Without certainty around these matters, reallocation of limited capital dollars to other projects worldwide that promise the best re-turns and hold lower risk is needed. Meanwhile, the efforts at RCM will be directed toward working to obtain the certainty we need.” He went on to note that every effort would be made to help workers maintain employment either by reassignment to new duties within Resolu-tion Copper or at other Rio Tinto projects. The land exchange is a critical issue for the mine. Since 2005, the com-pany has sought through Congressional action to exchange 2,400 acres of Forest Service land, under which one of the largest undeveloped copper re-sources in the world rests,

for more than 5,300 acres of high-quality conserva-tion lands held by the com-pany. The land exchange consolidates the company’s land ownership where the proposed mine will be de-veloped and operated, and where it will invest more than an estimated six bil-lion dollars if completed. Since 2005, there have been 11 versions of the land exchange bill in-troduced into Congress. The most recent bill was H.R. 1904, introduced by Representative Paul Gosar (CD-1). The bill passed the House of Representatives in 2011 and it has yet to be considered by the Senate. Senators John McCain and Jon Kyl have been strong and long-standing supporters of the project and are working hard to get the Senate to consider the legislation this session before it adjourns in Dec Environmental groups and the San Carlos Native American Tribe oppose the project, as does Congres-sional Representative Raul Grijalva. To date the company has invested nearly one billion dollars in the development of the project that is one of the richest undeveloped copper deposits in the world. “Once the land exchange

and regulatory issues are resolved, which is now our primary focus, I’m confi -dent funding to advance the project will be restored. We remain hopeful that these matters will be re-solved and we can bring jobs to Arizona” explained Taplin. The budget reduction will affect more than just the

400 employees who are currently employed at the project. In 2011, the com-pany spent an estimated 10 million dollars in the Copper Triangle (Superior, Globe, Miami, Kearny) on goods and services. Cur-rently there are 60 employ-ees and contractors that reside in Superior and 91 who reside in the Copper

Triangle area. The reduction will also affect local nonprofi ts, ed-ucation programs and other partnership agreements although specifi c decisions have not been made just yet. Resolution Copper did announce that they would continue to honor their agreements with the Town of Superior.

Lay-A-Ways

Compiled by Mila Besich-Lira and Chase Kamp In the hours after the Resolution Copper announcement Copper Area News was able to gather many comments and written statements from local elected officials and the town of Superior as well as from those who have opposed the project. Superior’s Interim Town Manager Rita Wentzel issued a statement that afternoon, “The Town of Superior Mayor, Council and Staff met with officials from Resolution Copper Mining this morning regarding their decisions to reduce funding and staff. First and foremost, our hearts go out to those families who will be directly affected by the staffing cutbacks. We respect and appreciate their hard work and efforts toward a growing career for themselves and their families. Superior is a community that comes together and supports one another when times are difficult. As with mining cut-backs in the past, we will all need to continue to work together toward a more positive future. While these circumstances are beyond our control, the Town is committed to work with all of our business partners for the betterment of our economic base.” Pinal County Supervisor Pete Rios in a written comment stated, “This is a direct result of our US Congress failing to take action. For seven years now, Resolution Copper has been pursuing a land exchange to begin mining the largest known supply of copper ore in North America. Congress has failed America and failed

Public officials speak out on Resolution cutbacksthe people of Arizona and now 400 families are going to suffer their own ‘fiscal cliff’ - a layoff. These are high-paying, high tech jobs that would help this country deliver a valuable global commodity to the world. Corporations can’t be expected to continue to explore, build and plan if Congress won’t do its part to remove the one obstacle standing in the way of progress. That said, my constituents are deeply grateful for the passage of Congressman Gosar’s bill during the last session.” Congressman and newly elected Senator for the state of Arizona Jeff Flake provided his statement. “As if Congress needed any more urgency to pass this land exchange legislation, hopefully these 400 current jobs and thousands of potential jobs lost will send that message,” he wrote. Newly elected officials also chimed in on the news. Congresswoman Elect Ann Kirkpatrick said “Today’s announcement from Resolution Copper will have a ripple effect across Arizona’s Copper Corridor. I’ve worked hard

on past efforts to bring jobs to this region, and I understand that these cuts could devastate small communities like Superior, Globe, Miami, Kearny, Hayden and Winkelman. When a small community loses jobs, the hardship hits families, school districts, small businesses –just about everyone. My staff and I are reaching out to civic and business leaders to assess this situation and determine next steps. I stand firmly with Arizona’s rural communities and small towns, which need good-paying jobs so families are empowered to stay there, live there and send their kids to good schools. My top priority is to bring jobs to our district so regions like the Copper Corridor can build a strong foundation for the future.” Arizona Legislative District 8 Senator Elect Barbara McGuire commented, “The November 30 announcement of layoffs at Resolution Copper at Superior gives me great concern. Congressional gridlock and partisan games the past two years created another

unfavorable consequence. The world is in need of the copper. Resolution can produce and local communities of district 8 and the state are in need of the economic stimulus Resolution Copper will provide. As LD23 State Representative from 2007 – 2011, I advocated for Resolution Copper based on jobs and the attending economic development it brings. I have recently been elected to the State Senate in the new LD 8

previously LD 23 where Resolution Copper is located. I will continue to encourage the Arizona federal delegation to pursue progress on legislation and to support the measures necessary to expeditiously produce a positive solution, which will bring Resolution Copper on line sooner than later.” Those groups who have opposed the project also provided comments. Rodger Featherstone, the

director of the Arizona Mining Reforms Coalition explained, “Rio Tinto ought to be ashamed of themselves for using their workers as pawns to force through the land exchange at the end of this Congressional session. There’s good reasons that it hasn’t moved on the land exchange, because it’s a horrible piece of special interest legislation. For Rio Tinto to use their workers in such fashion is just beyond the pale.” Cutbacks, Page 9

Coach Manny Ruiz

By Mila Besich-Lira The gym was packed for the home opener of the 2012-13 SHS basketball season on Nov. 26, 2012. The excitement was not just for the opening day against the Ray Bearcats but also for the celebration of the re-dedication of the gymnasium to long time coach and educator Manny Ruiz. When the school district was in the old school, they had named the gym after Manny Ruiz. Ruiz had been a basketball coach for 26 years coaching one year at

Eloy Junior High, 10 years at San Manuel High School and 21 years at Superior High School. Over the course of this career, his varsity teams had 333 wins and 240 losses. While at Superior Ruiz coached the 1974 Class A State Champions. In 1985 Ruiz was the Arizona nominee for the National Coach of the Year Honors he is also a member of the Arizona Coaches Hall of Fame. Superior Junior Senior High School Principal and Athletic Director William “Billy”

Duarte explained that the rededication of the gym was to “honor a man who has been infl uential in the community and has touched many people throughout his career.” He thanked Mr. Ruiz for his dedication to the community and presented him with a plaque. The interior gym walls read “Manny Ruiz Gym”. Members of the 1974 State Championship Basketball team were present for the dedication ceremony and stood with Mr. Ruiz during the dedication ceremony.

Member of the team in attendance included Gilbert Aguilar, Louie Duarte, Louie Rabago, Manuel Ramirez, Gene Florez. Other alumni members of Ruiz’s teams were also invited to attend the ceremony. The Panthers played the Ray Bearcats. The Boys Varsity lost 82-59. Currently the Boys Varsity team is record 0-3. The Girls Varsity team lost 60-32 against the Bearcats.

SUPERIOR, Ariz.-The Class of 1962 celebrated their fi ftieth class reunion on Oct. 13 at the Jade Grill in Superi-or. Twenty-eight members of the class attended and a great time was had by all. First, there were plenty of hugs as each classmate ar-rived at the old Superior High School around 2 p.m., to take

a class picture on the steps of their alma mater. Cameras were busy taking pictures and each classmate busy pinning on name tags with a photo of themselves in cap and gown picture for the before look. The one who came the far-thest was Marion Pomeroy, who traveled with his wife from Baytown, TX for what

Superior Class of 1962 celebrates fi ftieth class reunionis now the fi rst class reunion he has attended. Other out of state attendees were David (Pamela) Wing from San Francisco, Jeannie ( Almejo) Yates from Santa Fe, and Raymond Gallegos from Downy, CA. The class toured the old high school and reminisced about the good old days, including

the teachers. The tour contin-ued on to the Bob Jones Mu-seum to reminisce about their hometown and businesses, view the large “Pomeroy In-surance Agency” clock hang-ing on the wall, and onto a tour of the new high school. By 4 p.m., all were at the Jade Grill for the social hour and a prime rib dinner at 5

p.m. Tables were set up on the patio roof of the two-car ga-rage, decorated in black, or-ange and overhanging lights for the later hours. The dinner was delicious and fi nished to perfection with an orange cheesecake with black crust for dessert. Oldies music played as at-

tendees ate and talked. When 7:30 pm came around, for-mer classmates began to say goodbye, expressing their regret at the reunion ending and desire to continue getting together through the coming years, if even just for lunch or dinner. “We’ll see.” said the com-mittee.

By Rev. Dennis Van Gorp Family Life Christian Center The Holy Scriptures reveal that when a person lives in obedience to God, their life is fruitful and healthy. In contrast to that, the natural and normal worries of life can stress us to the point of being unfruitful. Add to that the unexpected events and circumstances that can cause even more stressful problems to appear.

That God cares for us can be seen in Exodus 23:25 “Worship the Lord your God, and His blessing will be on your food and water.” Also in Malachi 3:10 we read – “Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in My House. Test Me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the fl oodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room

enough for it.” Notice that the blessings and provision of God are condi-tional. He expects worship and obedience and honor fi rst. Matthew 6:33 “Seek fi rst His kingdom and His righteous-ness, and all these things will be given to you.” Hard times come and go. Tragedies come and go. Dis-appointments come and go. But the Lord remains forever. He patiently waits for us to

desire and to seek His help in our circumstances. The Apostle Paul wrote in Philippians chapter 4: 12) “I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty.” 13) “I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.” 19) “And my God will meet all your needs according to His glori-ous riches in Christ Jesus. 20) “To our God be the glory for-ever and ever. Amen!”

By Mila Besich-Lira Each year the Superior Op-timist Club hosts the annual Miracle on Main St. Light parade this year the club rec-ognized John, Richard and Joe Tameron and their wives as the Spirit of Optimism Com-munity Champion. The club selects people in the community who contribute to the community and emulate the spirit of optimism. “John, Richard and Joe along with their wives Bharthie, Rosie and Vera are always volunteering and providing support to the community. We are pleased to recognize them for their contributions to the community,” explained Opti-mist President JoAnn Besich. The Tameron family and their grandchildren were the grand marshals in this year’s parade, the Town of Superior also recognized them with an official Town Proclamation in November. The festivities began with the Baile Folklorico Alma de Superior performing. Those in attendance were also able to provide entertainment with an open mic, Master of Ceremo-nies and DJ for the evening Roy Chavez played music and the crowd danced to their favorite line dances including “The Electric Slide” and “The Cha Cha Slide”. There were lots of treats and goodies to purchase, the Supe-rior Little League sold out of their hamburgers well before the event ended and the high school groups all had items to sell. Gabby Kipp reported via Facebook that the Fresh-man Class of 2016 raised over $200 selling baked goods. The Optimist Club had a bas-ket raffle with baskets which were donated and were able to raise $300 at the event. Mayor Valenzuela and his family provided free hot chocolate and candy canes to the crowd. Throughout the day there was a best cookie contest and a youth art competition.

By Chase KampCopper Area News After decades of Democratic domination, the 2012 election ushered in a flood of Republicans in Pinal County. With numerous County positions locked up and a 4-1 majority in the newly expanded Board of Supervisors, local Republicans have seized the limelight. District 1 Supervisor Pete Rios, the lone Democrat on the Board, said the results were not entirely unexpected. “I predicted 12 years ago a total takeover of Pinal County by Republicans,” Rios said. “The writing was on the wall for me a long time ago.” Rios said the rapid growth in Maricopa and San Tan Valley was a clue he could not ignore. “The people moving in were not from out of state,” he said. “They were people from eastern Maricopa County, which is very well-known for having conservative Republicans.” Newly elected Republican Supervisor Todd House was voted in to represent District 5, which contains areas of northern Pinal like Apache Junction and Gold Canyon. He lost a Supervisor race in 2004 against Democrat Sandy Smith and said the County’s shift to the right came as a pleasant surprise for him. “If you would have told me we would have a majority of Supervisors eight years later, I would have said you were nuts,” he joked. However, Rios argued most of the issues facing the County are ones he thinks will be unaffected by partisan politics.

“There are issues I suspect the majority of Board members can get behind, not based on the letter behind their name but the best interests of the residents,” Rios said. Rios said he expects the Board will primarily address issues like progress on the Picacho Peak Union Pacific yard, the continued promotion of Phoenix Mart in Casa Grande, the improvement of air quality and the fate of the Resolution Copper land exchange. The County coffers, of course, are a different story. “For our Board, the most political item I see will be the budget,” Rios said. Republicans also elected to the Board were former PCSO staffer Cheryl Chase in District 2 and former Maricopa Mayor Anthony Smith in District 4. House said he expects the Board to adopt a conservative agenda of decreased property taxes and what he called a more business-friendly atmosphere. Newly-elected Republican District 3 Supervisor Steve Miller, who formerly served on the Casa Grande City Council, agreed that County government is reflecting the area’s demographics. “The county is showing its true face,” Miller said. Balancing the desire for lower property tax rates with the necessary levels of service will be critical, Miller said. “It’s about finding out what services we’re providing that are wants and not needs,” he said, “and what service are mandated by state statute that we have to provide the funds for.” More than anything,

Republicans like Supervisor Steve Miller took numerous seats in the 2012 County election.

Elections bring new faces to Pinal County government

Miller said he aims to bolster economic development. “I think Pinal County has gotten bogged down into a municipality-type environment,” he said. “Jobs will make things get better around here.” Miller defeated Democratic incumbent David Snider in District 3, which primarily contains the city of Casa Grande and parts of northwestern Pinal. After a particularly hotheaded campaign, Republican Lando Voyles defeated incumbent Democrat James Walsh for the County Attorney seat with 53 percent of the vote. The fiery campaign had Voyles accusing Walsh of being soft on violent crime, while Walsh said his opponent’s co-campaign with Sheriff Paul Babeu was questionable. Incumbent Republican Babeu was handily re-elected as Sheriff with more than 53 percent of the vote against two challengers. A handful of Democrats did hold fast against

Chairman of the Retired Miners and Concerned Citizens Roy Chavez explained over the phone that their group is not opposed to mining, “It is what it is (the cutback situation) based on rules and laws. All we want is to see that the rules are followed”. Chavez believes that the recent outcome of the Presidential election impacted Rio Tinto’s decision. Chavez also expressed his concerns that the town has not learned anything from the boom and bust cycles of the past noting,“It has been 30 years since the shut down in 1982 and what have we

learned? We are still on the mine’s dime.” Senator John McCain did not provide a direct comment to the Copper Area News, but the following statement was found on his website. “The Resolution Copper land exchange is a top priority for the State of Arizona,” its passage requires the cooperation of the entire Arizona Congressional Delegation, and I call on my colleagues to join Senator Kyl, Congressman Gosar and myself in advocating for this legislation which is so important for job creation in our state.” For more on this story visit CopperArea.com or to comment of the situation visit Facebook.com/CopperArea.

CutbacksContinued from Page 5

the Republican torrent. Incumbent County Treasurer Dolores Doolittle held her seat against Republican challenger Steven Boyd, and in the LD-8 Senate race, Democrat Barbara McGuire defeated Republican opponent Joe Ortiz. Duos of old and new Republicans reigned supreme in the state House races, however. In LD-11, incumbent Steve Smith (R) and newcomer Adam Kawasman (R) won their House seats. In a tight LD-8 race, incumbent Frank Pratt (R) won alongside T.J. Shope (R) by margins of about one thousand votes against Democrats Ernest Bustamante and Emily Verdugo.

ElectionsContinued from Page 8

In the County Superintendent race, Republican Jill Broussard was victorious over Democratic incumbent Orlenda Roberts, while Republican Douglas Wolf won the County Assessor seat. Rios attributed the loss of these other County seats to party preference. “If you’re a Republican, your propensity is to vote Republican,” he said. “When you have more Republicans, it’s pretty simple arithmetic.” Miller said anticipates the new County government will realign its priorities and indeed scrutinize taxes. “I don’t have a scorched earth idea that we’re going to change everything,” he explained, “But over four or five years you’ll see a subtle change in how business is done in Pinal County.”

By Mila Besich-Lira Caesar Villalobos is still hard at work raising money for his trip to the Down Under Bowl in Austrailia. Recently he awarded Andy Bravence with a rifle he won as first place in a raffle and awarded Fred Miramon a new barbeque grill as second place. Currently he is raffling off two tickets to an Arizona Car-dinals game versus the Lions. The game is Sunday, Dec. 16. Raffle tickets are $20 each. To purchase ticket you can call his mom Valerie at 520-827-0676. On Jan. 19 they will be hosting a Corn Hole Tournament. To date they have already made a $2,000 payment towards his trip and fees.

Villalobos working for his Down Under trip

and all the floats had plenty of lights. The winners of the pa-rade were first place- Tameron Ice, second place-Edwardos Pizza and third place went to Baile Folklorico Alma de Superior. The winners of the youth art competition were Aliana Lopez, Sivanna Lopez and Vicente Arriola. Each of these students was given art sets. Following the parade Santa met with all of the boys and girls who stood patiently in line, some were lined up an hour before the parade, to tell him their Christmas wishes. Each child was given a goody bag that were stuffed in advance by members of the FCCLA group and Superior Senior Center. The treats were provided through financial sponsors for the event. This year the Optimist Club met a few challenges with their event preparations due to the budget cutbacks at the Town of Superior but with some creative volunteering and partnering the event was a success for the organization. Each year public works were able to provide more hands on assistance to the club with set up for the event and the deco-rating of Besich Park. This year the students from FCCLA helped with decorating and the Superior Senior Center vol-unteered to help stuff the bags for the event which helped to reduce the costs for the club. Those planning the event were concerned that the news of the Resolution Copper cut-backs would dampen the spirit of the community but that was not the case. “As always the community of Superior comes together despite bad news or tragedy and they are there to help one another. The entire Miracle on Main St. program would not have been a success without the individuals and businesses who contributed time or fi-nancial resources to the event, which is another example of what makes Superior, supe-rior.” said Besich.

Tata,Manuel Gonzales

I want to apologize to you

for not being there when you

really needed me most.

I do want you to know that I will

never forget you & I will cherish

the moments we had when I was a kid. You taking me deer hunting and you always

said I had an eye for deer, or being in your backyard helping you with

your garden, turtles and rabbits

or you taking me fishing in the White Mountains. I’ll never forget you kicking my

butt for throwing trash out of the truck camper

and you getting pulled over by

the police. I knew I was a travieso

since then.I just want you to know, Tata, I learned a lot from you and I

will always have those memories.

I love you,Your GrandsonFrankie Manuel
