Th e Bully, Part 2 Last month we defi ned bullying and shared some experiences that we can all generally relate to. This time I would like to make a rudimentary attempt to introduce some of the characters in what is essen-tially a power “Play”. I use this metaphor because once it begins, I am not certain
that it really ever ends. One of the signifi cant dy-namics of growing up, which continues through adulthood, is the ability to learn how to interact with our siblings, neighborhood peers, school classmates, etc. Kids, like adults, often make a quick assessment, based on fi rst impressions, of another per-
son’s likability. I have to admit that based on my life’s experience, some people are more pleasant to be around than others. What determines my reaction is dependent on too many things to list. So-ciology or Psychology 101 would be a better venue than my ramblings. My point is that explaining bullying is far more complex than one has been led to believe. Did any of you ever exert power, physical or otherwise, over your younger or weaker relatives? Did you ever exert that power over a neighbor-hood kid or a fellow class-mate? Did you ever belong to a group, club, or “clique” that excluded others? Is it possible that it made you feel superior to or better than
those excluded from the “In Crowd”? Perhaps you felt nothing more than comfort-able with people who shared common interests. Perhaps the excluded, less popular people had their own person-al biases and exaggerated the actions of those who rejected them. Bullying is so serious a subject, that it will take a number of articles to do it justice.Mr. Weber is the chief in-structor at the Aikido Acad-emy of Self-Defense located at 16134 North Oracle Road, in Catalina. He has more than 40 years of experience in the Martial Arts and has achieved skills in a variety of disciplines. He also teaches Tai-Chi with classes on
Wednesday from 11 a.m. to noon and Saturday from 9 to 10 a.m. Please call (520) 825-8500 for information regarding these and other programs. If you wish, check out the website at www.AikidoAcad-emyOfArizona.com.

Cinco de Mayo, or the 5th of May, is a day many celebrate Mexican heritage with traditional food, drinks, music, and customs. Though many confuse the celebration with Mexico’s Independence Day on September 16th, Cinco de Mayo festivities celebrate Mexico’s victory over the French in the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. For more than 28 years, thousands of Globe, Miami and San Carlos citizens and visitors have converged in “Historic Downtown Globe” in order to celebrate the
Celebrate Cinco de Mayo in GlobeMexican’s army unlikely victory over French forces. History says that’s when Napoleon’s French army of around 8,000 soldiers was defeated by a much smaller and poorly armed Mexican militia of around 4,500. This battle truly exemplifies “victory in the face of great odds”. This year’s Fiesta will
once again be filled with celebration and a blend of tradition, art, music, culture, community, and the enticing smell of authentic Mexican and other foods. Exhibitors, artisans, musicians, businesses and local organizations all take part in this grand celebration. Please join us and bring
your family and friends to the 28th annual Cinco de Mayo Fiesta in Historic downtown Globe, Arizona. This cultural celebration of music, food, art and community, with live entertainment including
Mariachis and Ballet Folklorico, vendors, food court and beer garden is, of course, on May 5th, beginning at 10 a.m. and spanning the day until 10 p.m. For further information,
please contact Carmen Casillas at (928) 701-2357 or Matt Jankawoski at (928) 425-7146 x 20. If you are interested in booth space, please contact Matt Jankawoski at (928) 425-7146 x 20.
In Tina Howe’s 2009 comedy “Chasing Manet,” two elderly ladies, consigned to the indignity of nursing home life, dealing with their own individual problems, encounter one another and find themselves having to deal with each other as roommates who hail from very different lifestyle perspectives. The rebellious painter, Catherine, comes from a distinguished Boston family. She is as sharp of wit as she is of tongue, but, legally blind. Rennie, by contrast, is both cheerful and dotty, with sharp eyes

By John Hernandez In August of 1904, the Florence Blade newspaper reported that “John Cochran has laid off a town site on the flat just east of the old Butte smelter site. The Phoenix & Eastern Railroad has made a station there and called it Cochran. John expects to put up a family hotel and establish a winter resort.” The town of Cochran was settled in 1905 with the Post Office established
Cochran and the Coke
on January 3. John S. Cochran was the first postmaster. Cochran owned the land there and had mining claims in the area. His partners were A.L. Jones of Globe and Frank Harvey of Kelvin. The town was a small mining camp along the Gila River between Kelvin and Florence. It was a train station for the Phoenix & Eastern Railroad which was serving the local mines in the area and putting in track up to the Ray and Hayden-Winkelman area. The railroad would help the mines to prosper now that they had a cheaper and more efficient way of transporting their ore and supplies. Residents of the town numbered 100 at its peak with a general store, boarding house and a few other businesses. John Cochran resigned as postmaster and was replaced by Charles M. Clark on April 27, 1909. The post office was discontinued in 1915 and Cochran became a ghost town. You can still see a few foundations of the buildings at the Cochran

Ovens: Who Built Them?townsite. There is an old rusted water tank, a slag dump and water pipe laying on the grounds. On a hillside across the Gila River you can see the bee hived shaped charcoal kilns. Many people associate them with Cochran and call them the coke ovens but they were there before Cochran was built. It is believed that the kilns were built by the Pinal Consolidated Copper Company in 1882 to supply their smelter furnace with charcoal. The site for the kilns was four miles from the smelter. The kilns were built along the Gila River to take advantage of the supply of timber, mostly mesquite which grew on the hill sides and along the river. A newspaper report from that year reported they were paying woodchoppers $2 per cord of wood. Pinal Consolidated mined lead and silver ores in the Mineral Hill District. A mining camp known as Butte City grew around the mine. The community was started in late 1881 or January of 1882. A post office was established there in 1883 with Maurice B. Fleishman
as its postmaster. During the first six months of 1883, the smelter turned out 2,000,000 pounds of lead and silver. The
mine closed in 1885 due to litigation problems within the company. Butte City would be gone by 1886 when the post office
was discontinued. All the equipment that was salvageable was removed from Butte. It is not known if there is anything to see
around the ghost town site which should be in the
hills somewhere above the kiln site.

Saturday there’s also a general tour of the main trail at 11 a.m., and a geology walk at 1:30 p.m. This is the final week for daily Eleven O’Clock guided walking tours of the main trail, and also the final week for Fall-Winter-Spring hours. Starting May 1 BTA returns to the summer schedule and will be open at 6 a.m. daily, closing at 3 p.m. (and with each day’s final admission taken at 2 p.m. so those
end-of-the-day visitors still have an hour to explore the gardens). Guided tours continue all summer; popular Fall-Winter-Spring guided walks switch to morning start times to take advantage of comparatively cooler temperatures. Once-a-month this summer you can attend the ‘Plants-of-the-Bible’ walk, or learn about edible-medicinal Sonoran desert plants. The Arboretum is a scenic 45-minute drive west of Globe-Miami, near highway 60 milepost #223 just past the historic copper-mining town of Superior. Visit often? Annual memberships are the best way to learn about our Sonoran Desert while
helping support the Arboretum’s ongoing mission of desert plant conservation and education. Memberships start at $45 and include a year’s admission plus a pair of one-time-use guest passes to bring friends or family. Explore the gardens online at ag.arizona.edu/bta, or connect with nearly 3,000 fans of BTA at facebook.com/boycethompsonarboretum.May-June events include:• May 2 Photography Workshop at 10am with Michael Madsen (“Switching to Manual” a $39 class for beginners and intermediate photographers).

By Mila Lira The Copper Corridor is encompasses two national forests (Tonto and Coronado), much of the lands in the southern part of the corridor near the Gila River are managed by the Bureau of Land Management. If you are using these lands please make sure to check on any rules and restrictions for camping, and exploring. The Copper Corridor is home to many private mines and ranches, most of these lands are not open for public access. Off Highway Vehicle users will fi nd plenty of areas to four wheel drive and get off the highways to explore the Copper Corridor. There are many existing trails and
loops throughout the Copper Corridor. Some of the more frequented loops are in the Tonto National Forest near Superior. There are also ample four wheeling opportunities of off Highway 177 in the White Canyon and Cochran area. The Town of Kearny has developed the Mescal Mountain OHV Park. If you are not planning on using a four wheel drive vehicle but would like to wonder off the beaten path consider taking a drive on the Florence-Kelvin Highway. This is a dirt road but connects the north eastern part of the corridor with Florence, the Pinal County seat. Both forests also have some roads that are
Outdoor activities part of the Copper Corridor quality of life
open for passenger vehicles and you do not need four wheel drive or high clearance vehicles to access.Hiking and Biking in the Corridor There is nothing like a relaxing hike or bike ride to engage your senses. The Copper Corridor is proud to have the Arizona National Scenic Trail travel through a majority of the Copper Corridor; nine of the 11 Copper Corridor communities are considered Gateway Communities to the Arizona Trail. The trail is a non-motorized trail that travels from the southern border of Arizona at Mexico to the northern border with Utah. The trail is more than 800 miles of exclusive access for hikers, mountain bikers and equestrian users. The main trailheads in the Copper Corridor to access the AZT is at Oracle State Park, the Picket Post trailhead near Superior and the Kelvin Riverside Trailhead off of the Kearny/Kelvin highway. There are plenty of opportunities for short hikes in the area on the Arizona Trail but if you are planning on doing a through hike make sure to visit the AZT website to download their guide book. In December of 2011 the Arizona Trail Association celebrated the completion of the 800 mile trail when they completed the last segment between Picket Post and See Outdoors, Page 10

Kelvin. This segment is said to be one of the most exhilarating segments of the entire Arizona Trail due to its terrain, and construction. This segment of the trail takes users to areas of Arizona that are only accessible via the Arizona Trail. The Town of Superior recently opened the first gateway connector trail called
the Legends of Superior Trails. You can access this trail at the Hewitt Station Road Trail head just north of US 60. The six-mile trek will lead you through the remains of Pinal City and point out many interpretive spots. The desert segment of the trail ends at the Superior Airport and picks up again off of 177 near Queen Creek through the Canyon Segment of the Trail.

Compiled by John Hernandez Ranching has been important in the development of Arizona and the Copper Corridor. The rich and fertile San Pedro River Valley was home to many ranches and farms as was the Gila River Valley and
Aravaipa Creek area. In the San Pedro Valley permanent settlements did not occur until the Apaches were placed on the reservations. In 1877 and 1878, the land along the San Pedro was surveyed and open
Arizona’s Centennial: Ranching in the Copper Corridor 1912
for homesteading. Although there were still small bands of hostile Apaches to deal with, prospectors, ranchers and farmers began flocking to the area. At one time there were more than 50 farms along the lower San Pedro River. Overgrazing by cattle and sheep would lead to flooding of the San Pedro River which resulted in the loss of the choice farm lands. The drought of 1890, 1891 and 1893 would hurt the farmers more. The owners of the bigger ranches began buying up the homesteaders land. The railroads also allowed for produce and agricultural products to be shipped from around other parts of the state and country. The railways also helped the ranchers as they could now ship their cattle across the country cheaply.
In 1912 ranching was still an important part of the Copper Corridor. ARAVAIPAThe Graham Guardian – April 12, 1912 Word comes from the Aravaipa country that Oscar F. Webster, during a recent storm lost 845 fine goats.HAYDEN-WINKELMANArizona Republican- March 25, 1912 There is now being erected a transmission line between the power plant of the Ray Consolidated Copper Co. here and the ranch of Joe Winsor south of Winkelman on the San Pedro River. This line will be several miles in length and will transmit power to the town of Winkelman See Ranching, Page 12

that can see just fine, but a mind that often sees things that are not there. Giving their elderly years and failing faculities, this play could have been a drama about the pain and trauma of growing old and being forgotten, of losing one’s dignity and coming to terms with one’s mortality. Instead, within the confining walls of Mount Airy Nursing Home, two strangers befriend each other and, taking us along for the romp, plot an escape to Paris aboard the QE2. Can they pull off this caper? The tension and comedy grow as they struggle to take wing, for the last time, and the laughs abound as they make ready their escape from amidst the chaos of their surroundings. The San Pedro Actors Troupe will be performing this play from May 11-27, Fridays and Saturdays at 7 p.m.; and on Sundays at 2 p.m. at the SPATS Theater, 730 East American Avenue, Oracle. For ticket information and reservations call 520-896-9496. Tickets are $15 and you can receive a $1 refund at the door if you bring canned food for the Tri-Community Food Bank.
