By Cindy TracyDon’t worry too much about what

others think about you but go ahead and follow your own vision of who you are and what you want to do in life. Though not the exact way he phrased it, that seemed the gist of one of the wise points Manuel Silvas made as guest speaker at the May 27 Superior High School graduation. SHS alumni Silvas explained in his speech to the 38 graduating seniors that a person is just a blip on the radar to others. Don’t let what people think keep you from being what you want to be or want to do. Silvas illustrated this general point and others by sharing his own story of how he rose from a troubled early life where others sought to defi ne him to become a prominent attorney. He received a gift of appreciation and much applause from the Class of 2011 for his motivating and frank address out there on Memorial Field that night. The ceremony was held under the new stadium lights despite starting at 6 p.m. when the sun still blazed. It added to the celebratory mood when darkness fi nally fell and the new lights shone in all their glory. Someone shouted for everyone to look, the lights were back. Silvas started his speech talking about that celebratory mood. “Graduations are a time for celebration,” he told the Class of 2011, “a time to think what the future holds for you.” But he said they had plenty of time to do that thinking after the ceremony. Instead he asked them to listen to a story, which he said came from his heart. He told them that when he was a student there he did not do very well. “That I’m here before you now,” he said, “is absolutely amazing.” He said that his life was riddled with truth, “truth that I’ve never forgotten.” When he was nine years old, he said, his father committed a horrendous crime. “He murdered another human being. Four years later his dad was executed in the Arizona gas chamber,” Silvas said. He said that in his young life following this, he was very dysfunctional. “I was totally incapacitated. I didn’t do well in school because I had to deal with what was going on in my life,” he said. “My self-esteem, my self-worth was nonexistent. I didn’t like myself.” The odds of him succeeding at anything were totally against him, he said. “I didn’t like school,” he said, “I really didn’t.” He once had 33 straight absences and was expelled. “That was a happy moment for me,” he said. He was arrested for the fi rst time in his life when he was 12 years old. He was adjudicated a juvenile delinquent and spent a few days in the facility at Florence. But as he spoke, Silvas’ tale took on a more positive tone. He became focused in on a dream back then. He would go to college. He said when he told people he was going to college, they did not believe him. “I had problems with teachers,” he said. “I had problems with teachers all the way from 1st-grade to when I got out of high school.” When he signed up for the SAT test, he was told: “You can’t go, Manuel, you can’t take the test because all you’re going to do is disrupt things.” But he did take the test, did graduate from Superior High School, went to college and eventually obtained an undergraduate degree and a master of arts in education. He taught school for a number of years and also attained his law degree. “What’s amazing,” he said, “is that I knew that I had it within me to do something.” He told the graduating seniors that they should fi nd out what it is that they want, not allow the opinions of others to drown out their inner voice. “You follow your heart and your passion,” he said. “Remember this: Your most diffi cult obstacles are within yourself.” He advised them not to wait 30 years to say, “Boy, if I had my life

Be true to self and pursue the dream that is in your heart, Class of 2011 graduates told last week

to live over again, I would make some changes.” He told them to do it now. Follow their heart, choose their experiences wisely. Don’t be afraid of failure. “At least you tried,” he said. Salutatorian Reinhold Everhart and Valedictorian Monica Ochoa gave their addresses early in the evening as well. “I know I have not had enough experience in life to give much advice,” Everhart said. “However, my dad told me that my time is limited and so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.” His father said to not be limited to other people’s thinking, be true to yourself. Don’t live in fear and “no matter what happens, you’ll know everything will be alright because you know who you are and you know you can go through it.” He asked his classmates to not get

caught up in the bad things of life, to focus on the good things because these are what make us who we are. Ochoa asked for a round of applause from her classmates for those who had been there for them in their lives. She thanked those special people for helping them to become the “wonderful young ladies and gentlemen we are today.” She gave a history of the classmates’ years together in school and how their friendships became even stronger. Going into high school was a year of unknowns, she said, “But we got through it together. This is where we knew some of the best memories that we will never forget,” she said. “Yes we had our ups and downs through the years but look at us now. We all are here together at our graduation.” There were a number of musical

By Cindy TracyFreedom isn’t free, it comes with a

cost. That is an axiom oft repeated on patriotic holidays across the land. Freedom isn’t free, the speakers say as the sacrifi ces by U.S. soldiers of life or health or separation from loved ones is honored and remembered in speeches. That was what it was all about at the George E. Truman Veterans of Foreign War Post 3584 on Main Street, Superior on Memorial Day, 2011. On that May 30th Monday, the Post and Ladies Auxiliary dedicated the Wall of Honor they had created and placed in the lobby of the Post Home. Visible as you walk into the lobby on the wall facing the pool table, the Wall of Honor is a huge collage of pictures of soldiers who have served. It is a tangible reminder of their sacrifi ces and those of their families and a tribute to the concept that freedom isn’t free. Superior Police Detective Marshall Harshman was one of a number of speakers at the VFW service. He refl ected on the cost of freedom and how we think about it on Memorial Day. “Backyard celebrations will rule the day,” he said about the Monday holiday. “The smell of charcoal grills will fi ll the air and the sound of children splashing in swimming pools will be heard. Neighborhood parks will come alive with Frisbees and neighborhood

football games. Neighbors gathered around picnic tables will laugh and enjoy each other’s company,” he said. “Today is a day for family and for friends and that’s the way that should be.” Those who fought for our freedom and liberty deserve to be celebrated, he said. “They also deserve to be honored, so right now, we pause. We lay aside for a few brief moments the hustle and bustle of our busy lives,” he said, “just to remember the one thing that we all have in common and that is that our freedom came with a price.” He discussed America’s history and wars and the many men and women throughout that history who have “given the last full measure of their devotion” as part of the cost of freedom. “The families of those men and women let go of their sons, their daughters, their parents, their spouses,” he said, “for a fl ag that sadly seems to mean less and less to people as time progresses.” He said that our desire for freedom has been met throughout history with opposition. “The liberty that we have grown accustomed to and the rights that we occasionally take for granted have been paid for. Our freedom to worship does not come from the clergy,” he said. “Our right to privacy is not granted by the police. Our expectation of a fair trial is not given by a benevolent lawyer or a judge. Our right to free speech does not

come by way of the media and our right to vote does not come from the politicians.” These rights and freedoms were paid for in places like Bunker Hill, Gettysburg and other locations, Harshman said. “On Memorial Day, we celebrate heroes,” he said. Included were heroes of the past, present and sadly, heroes of the future. Freedom isn’t free. There was a

price. Other speakers at the event included Mayor Michael Hing and Fire Operations Chief Todd Pryor. Frank Rabago led the crowd in the National Anthem and performed a number of patriotic songs, as he so ably does at every Memorial Day service. The Reverend Alvie Amos said the opening prayer. Rene Risinger said a prayer. Mike Urquio conducted

suffered. He was not wearing a seat belt at the time of the crash. The westbound lanes of US 60 were closed from 8:42 a.m. to 9:54 a.m. during the on-scene investigation. Traffi c was diverted around the scene during that time. The crash remains under investigation. Matthew Schnell was a full-time Globe Police Offi cer and was off-duty at the time of the crash.

Editor, Superior Sun: I don’t understand why Chairman Rambler, San Carlos’s new tribal leader, is trying so hard to stop Resolution Copper Company Project’s land exchange just like they tried to stop BHP’s Pinto Valley Project from opening. If it wasn’t for all of our

surrounding copper mines who have hired a lot of men and women and sub-contractors like myself, they would have had to close down the Apache Gold Casino and put more people out of a job. This is called a no brainer. Thank you,/s/ Albo Guzman

Editor, Superior Sun: The Citizens for Responsible Government Committee fi led our second group of petitions recalling Mayor Michael Hing on Tuesday, May 17, 2011. These petitions consisted of even more signatures than our initial effort, with over 300 signatures submitted to the Town of Superior for verifi cation. The next steps in this process are as follows (based on ARS 19-201):• May 17, 2011 to May 31, 2011 (10 days or it can be less) – Town of Superior forwards copies of the completed petitions to the County Recorder’s Offi ce;• June 1, 2011 to July 29, 2011 (usually 15 days or less but legally it can be up to 60 days) – Pinal County Recorder verifi es signatures and responds to the Town of Superior;• When the County notifi es the

Town that there are a suffi cient number of signatures (178 needed), the Town then notifi es Mayor Hing and he has the option of resigning. The Town then Calls for the Recall Election and makes available Nomination Petitions for those persons wishing to run in the election. Those wishing to run have 30 days to complete and submit their petitions. Based upon the maximum timeline, the latest date for the Recall Election would be sometime in September 2011. The Committee wants to thank both candidates running in the May 17, 2011 run-off election of one Town Council seat for conducting clean campaigns. Congratulations to Ms. Peralta for her win. As before, we commit to continue to provide updates in The Superior Sun to keep you

By Cindy Tracy An important milestone for a group of young people was celebrated in the Superior Junior-Senior High School gym on a bright spring morning last week. The occasion was the Superior Junior High 8th-Grade Promotion 2011. Thirty-six strong, the class members marched confi dently through the gym entrance and across the fl oor to the chairs that had been set up for them. Cameras and cell phones clicked, whirred and fl ashed from an appreciative group of school staff members, parents, friends and community members. The crowd had come to bear witness to the moment when the junior high students crossed the symbolic threshold and became offi cial high school freshmen. Guest speaker was Monica Ochoa, Valedictorian of the Superior High School Class of 2011. She congratulated the students and told them that high school was really a whole different story from what they had experienced in junior high. “You guys will soon fi nd out,” she said. Her advice to them was to have fun, make the best of their high school years and start off strong. “Because your fi rst years are your most important,” she said. She told them to take advantage

By Cindy Tracy T’is the season of school ceremonies, award assemblies, graduations and moving forward for the young in the Superior school district. The moving forward being done at an event held in the junior-senior high multipurpose room on the evening of May 25 last week was that of the kindergarten class of 2011 at John F. Kennedy Elementary. That special “Kindergarten Celebration” featured and honored the children who have successfully navigated the waters of kindergarten at the school this year. They have learned many new things, completed their work and taken another step in their educational journey. When school resumes in late summer and fall, these students are offi cially going to be 1st-graders! At their celebration, they appeared to be very excited and happy about the prospective of a new year in school coming up. Dressed in their Sunday best, the kindergarten classes of Ms. Contreras and Ms. Statler smiled their way through an excellent and entertaining recital. The program showcased both their academic skills and talent as performers. The well-behaved young students didn’t miss a beat as they lined up on stage and participated in the Pledge of Allegiance. This was led by Marcos Galindo and Korina Inzunza. It was followed by a welcome speech to the packed house of parents, families and friends of the children who had come out to support them and enjoy the entertainment. The students performed “Days of the Week,” “Months Macarena” and “ABC Chant.” Following the entertainment, the teachers presented certifi cates to the children. This was followed by closing remarks and refreshments. The Kindergarten Class of 2011 included in Ms. Contreras’ class Deztyne Arujo, Tania Bacio, Tyler Carstensen, Kevin Duarte, Marisa Flanery, Anika Flores, Marcos Galindo, Aniaya Gonzales, Brenda Hernandez, Andrew Lagunas, Isabella Lara, Nicholas Mendoza, Jasmin Oretga, Isaiah Pacheco, Aliyah Ramirez, Jaidyn Romero, Yeritzel Romero, Jonathan Salinas, Leilannie Salinas, Celestial Sinteral, Gael Soto, Andres Robles and J.P. Tomerlin. Included in Ms. Statler’s class were Zoey Allison, Derek Arujo, Frank Davis, Ben Duarte, Zachary Duarte, Mira Estatico, Analise Hollenbeck, Karina

of the learning opportunity that is being given to them. Be involved in extracurricular activities. “And when I say extracurricular activities,” she pointed out, “that doesn’t only mean sports.” There are clubs such as FCCLA, yearbook, DECA and many more. “Just be involved, guys,” she said, “It’s going to help you out a lot.” She wished them the best of luck in high school and congratulated them again. Also participating in the ceremony was Student Council President Cierra Navarrette, who led the Pledge of Allegiance. Principal/Superintendent Pete Guzman gave the welcome,

introductions and closing speeches. He, along with Vice Principal/Athletic Director Billy Duarte presented the class to the audience. Promoted to the high school were Zachary James Allison, Alfredo Arvayo, Clarissa Celeste Arvayo, Devin Isiah Banks, Ariel Hilynn Bueno, Angela Francisca Campos, Melissa Christina Castellanos, Maria Esmeralda Cruz-Basoco, Brianna Monique Denogean, Lindsay Danielle Duarte, Corina Estella Enriquez, Joshua Evans, Hunter Lea Flanagan, Alysia Andrea Fuentes, Jesica Adelina Garcia, Aide Leticia Gonzalez-Morales, Marcus David Hiracheta, Ricardo

the program for the day and Debbie Townsend, Ladies’ Auxiliary president, spoke briefly. VFW and Auxiliary members placed wreaths near a “missing man” table set to

symbolize those missing from our tables because of war. Urquio, Townsend and Ray Ramirez dedicated the Wall of Honor and a last taps was played. The ceremony ended but most in attendance stayed for a delicious luncheon made available to those who came to the service.

May 30. (Cindy Tracy photo)

By Taylor Sheaffer Ritter From a very young age, I grew up around cars, loving them, admiring them, dreaming about them. My grandfather and my father both have had a slew of cool cars, so I had plenty to gawk at. Motoring is sort of a family enjoyment. I have a cousin who built a beautiful replica of a 1960s Shelby Cobra from a kit, absolutely gorgeous and if I am lucky he will drive Ben and I around for our first spin as a married couple in it. My grandfather had the first Jaguar XK120 racing version in the US, I have a great photo of he and my very young mother in the front. He currently has a 1917 Cadillac, a 1928 Lincoln Limousine and a 1964 black Lincoln Continental, you know, the one with suicide doors, like that in which Morpheus and Neo get about in during The Matrix. Sadly, when I was nine, excited to be going out for ice cream on Labor Day, I

accidentally drove my mother’s new Acura through our garage. Pops has never quite trusted me around his cars since; I mean, come on, 19 years later. We love cars. I love cars. So you can imagine my enjoyment when I was asked to cover last year’s Cruz’n Main event in Superior…it was like asking a sugar addict to cover the unveiling of a candy shop (technically this analogy would also apply to me). I ran around like a maniac, snapping up as many pictures as I could whilst I drooled over the 1947 Buick, the 1955 Chevy, the Carmingia, the hot-rods and low-riders. I was in hog heaven and there were even a few of those two. Not to mention some great food and fantastic entertainment via a bumpin’ DJ and stocked talent show line-up. It was way bueno. Naturally, this excitement carries over to this year’s event, the Fourth Annual Superior Cruz’n Main, taking

place on Saturday, June 4 in Superior on Main Street from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m. Entertainment wise, from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. the street will be bumping from the undoubtedly good tunes of DJ John Moreno…then from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. The Three Noblemen will be playing. If you are interested in entering a car into the show, the fee is $15 and you will have a chance to win the coveted People’s Choice awards; mind you, your car does not have to be a 1964 Aston Martin DB5 to enter, you can just be stoked on it and want to show it off. If you just want to look at cool cars and enjoy good music, then this is the place to be. Bring your cameras, I promise you’ll want keepsakes. For more information regarding the Fourth Annual Cruz’n Main, please contact the Superior Chamber of Commerce 520-689-0200 or 520-827-0692.

Cruz’n Main: The Allure of Motoring

Cruz’n Main in a ‘55 Chevy. What a classy ride! Who knows what beauty will drive down Superior’s Main Drag Saturday for the fourth annual car show.

Prefer something with some muscle? How about this ‘68 Mustang? This Pony looks like it is chompin’ at the bit to head down Main Street again in this year’s show.

By Taylor Sheaffer Ritter No longer a department that has been shuffled from one location to another … Superior’s Parks and

Recreation Department has a new home. With the new styling of the Magma Club, Superior Parks & Rec had to

Superior’s Parks & Rec has a new home at Rooseveltfind a new place to call home. While they lovingly enjoyed the movie nights, arts and crafts, youth theatre, ping pong and pool, board games and more that they were able to enjoy while they called the Magma Club home, it could be no more. From here the Parks & Rec department was able to move to the Old Fire Station until it was sold. Due to the recent sale, Parks & Rec was left without a home, limiting their activities to Halloween, Easter, Christmas and the 4th of July Celebrations. In spite of more permanent digs and largely due to the efforts of Parks & Rec director Barbara Arriola, the

department was able to continue offering Tae Kwon Do, Zumba® and the “Boot Camp Challenge.” With the Town of Superior’s recent purchase of the former Roosevelt school complex, many town officials including Mayor Michael Hing and Town Manager Melanie Oliver have expressed the need for youth activities in the community to continue to keep our youth active and involved, spurring on a healthy parks and recreation program. With limited space now available at Roosevelt, the Parks and Recreation Program has plans to move forward. “I have been tasked with recruiting volunteers and organizing a Parks &

Recreation Committee,” said Parks & Rec Chairman Pete Casillas. “Currently, we have a small gym with free weights and some stationary equipment for a workout facility. Ages 15 and over can register for $5 a month.” Additionally Casillas explained that beginning Monday, June 6, at 4 p.m., they will be starting the Discovery Core. Discovery Core is a program that is geared towards males of 13 years of age and over; this program is similar to the Boy Scouts in that it challenges mental and physical abilities along with an individual’s creativity. “Future activities and programs are in the process, but we are in dire need of volunteers!” Casillas said. For more information or to join as a member, please call the Town of Superior at 520-689-5752.
