Funeral Notice

Helen P. Meyer

I find it quite interesting that the upcoming Recall Election for August 27, 2013, pitting pro-mine advocate Mila Lira against current Council Member “Kiki” Peralta, really IS all about the mine! In searching public records for campaign financial disclosures, I obtained the list of contributors to Ms. Lira’s

campaign. The majority of these individuals do not live in Superior, BUT they are also closely affiliated with the Resolution Copper project. Records indicate that the Vote Mila 2013 Political Action Committee received substantial monetary assistance from the following:• Kimberly Wold, Donor, the

Recall election really is all about the minepast Arizona State Director for US Senator Jon Kyle from 1998 – 2013• Snell & Wilmer, a full-service business law firm with more than 400 attorneys practicing in eight locations throughout the western United States and in Mexico, including Denver, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Reno, Salt Lake City, Tucson, and Los Cabos. This is a firm with a long history of providing quality legal services to the mining industry, including Resolution Copper (RCM). They have brought some of the toughest mining projects in the Southwest to fruition, and they understand the issues of heavily contested mining projects.– Richard Mallery, Senior Partner and Attorney, Donor

• DMB Associates, a high-powered real estate company based in Scottsdale whose common link with Resolution Copper is that they share, or have shared, the same public relations firm, Gordon C. James Public Relations Co. This firm develops branding and media campaigns, and they list RCM as a client.– Charley Freericks, Executive President, Donor– Karrin Kunasek Taylor, Executive Vice President, Donor– Dea McDonald, Senior Vice President, Donor– Michael Davenport, Real Estate Broker, Donor• Sundt Construction, a Phoenix-based construction company who specializes in mining and industrial projects.

They installed the RCM #10 shaft cooling system, receiving over $9,000,000 for the job. They were also contracted by RCM to repave a 1 ½-mile segment of the roadway from the US Highway 60 to the #9 and #10 mine site.– David Crawford, Owner and Chief Executive Officer, Donor– G. Michael Hoover, Chief Operations Officer, Donor– Jeff Williamson, Senior Vice President, Donor– Clint Sundt, Mining Area Manager, Donor• Superior Copper Alliance, Donor, Recall Committee formed after the Superior Town Council took action to not support the RCM land exchange legislation. Their

membership is made-up of RCM supporters.• The remainder of the list I identified as local donors—who are also RCM supporters. You can read the full report on the Town’s website at: http://bit.ly/13vOAsx The campaign financial report (as of August 6) indicates that over $3,200 was collected. This is surprising since I hear that most local candidates receive under $500 for their campaign. However, the biggest surprise for me is that the majority of Mila’s funds came from outside our community—and more specifically, from companies doing business with RCM. You have to ask yourself: WHY does the funding for a local recall campaign in a small, rural community come from big-name contributors, outside of Superior, who all have done business with and profited from this mining project? In my opinion, this recall election is nothing more than blatant support of the RCM project and land exchange before many critical questions and issues are resolved. It is for this reason that I support the Town Council’s decision to oppose the legislation and based on this, I fully support Soyla “Kiki” Peralta for re-election. She is not all about the mine; she’s all about the entire community. Sincerely,/s/ Sonnie SansomSuperior resident

On August 15, 2013, the Town Council voted 4 to 3 to move one more step towards replacing our police department with the Pinal County Sherriff’s Department. Their intent is clear now, but they have not yet disbanded our local police. The Pinal County Board of Supervisors has the final say and they are listening even if our own Town Council won’t. We

have just a few days to make our voices heard. A petition requesting that the responsibility for maintaining law and order in Superior should remain in the hands of our local police department is currently circulating in Superior. If you want to keep our police department, please sign the petition and tell your friends. The petitions are

located at Save Money Market, Porter’s Café and His and Hers hair Salon. Thank you to all of those 220 people who have already signed. If you signed the petition the first time it went around in June, please don’t sign it again. Thank you for your support./s/ Merry Darr14 years Superior Resident

Support your local police! I’ve been hearing the term “outsider” in town, usually used by people who are afraid that our town will be over run by people who don’t look like they do, or people who are of a different background, people of a different economic class, etc, etc. This is unfortunate. Perhaps we should all remind ourselves that, like our nation as a whole, our little town is made up of

a very diverse rainbow of people, something we should all be very proud of. None of us are “outsiders.” I find it ironic that some the same people who are bellyaching about “outsiders” are the very same individuals who want to invite the Pinal County Sheriff’s Department to take over our police department. If someone is truly afraid of a destructive takeover of our

town, they should oppose this ill conceived and costly idea. Fortunately, the final word on our police department is up the Pinal County Board of Supervisors, not the town, or Superior’s government. We should all be sure to sign one of the petitions opposing this hostile takeover by an outside force. Do it soon!/s/ Charles DavisonSuperior

By Nina CrowderSuperior Sun The Superior Town Council has decided to continue negotiating with the Pinal County Sheriff’s Office for police coverage in the town of Superior. The council is looking for a five-year contract with Babeu’s office. There was some discussion about whether to continue talks or retain the town’s police force. Councilmen John Tameron and Hank Aguilar made the motion and second. Near the end of Thursday’s meeting, the town council went into executive session and upon return a motion was made by Councilwoman Soyla “Kiki” Peralta and seconded by Aguilar to hire Margaret Gaston as interim town manager effective Sept. 2, 2013. The motion was approved. Gaston has been working with the town as town clerk and has served as the interim town manager for the town of Kearny. Kane Graves mentioned the upcoming Prickly Pear Festival on Aug. 24. This one day event will showcase local restaurants which have a special signature dish celebrating the ripe fruit. The event is free. Graves also updated the town council that on the September agenda there will be information on the Magma Hotel project. There were a few special presentations. Elizabeth Magallanez presented a certificate of appreciation to Sylvia Perez for all her hard work with the records area. Perez worked for

Gaston named interim manager; council votes to continue negotiations with PCSO

a year and a half going through boxes. The boxes had mixed paperwork from different years. She went through everything by box

and after separating all the paperwork, she organized everything and put them in binders. Mayor Jayme Valenzuela said, “Thank

you very much for your hard work and dedication to the town.” Councilwoman Peralta announced that she had received some funds to donate and she chose the Friends of the Library and Red Bear Outfitters. Peralta said she felt that the Friends of the Library are on a tight budget and could use a little extra; they graciously received a donation of $75. The Red Bear Outfitters were also chosen since they do a lot for the community without much recognition;

“Yum” is not the first word that comes to mind when most people view a hardy, spiny prickly pear plant.

But visitors to the Second Annual Superior Prickly Pear Festival on Aug. 24 will learn to peel and eat the succulent

Superior to celebrate the humble spiny pads, or nopales, or turn the juicy rosy-purple fruits into juice, syrup, wine, beer and all sorts of tasty main and side dishes. The festival, set in the old copper mining town of Superior, is the only one of its kind in the country and celebrates all things prickly pear.

The event, sponsored by the Superior Chamber of Commerce in conjunction with the Boyce Thompson Arboretum, will begin with an early-morning hike to Old Pinal City led by Tonto National Forest Archeologist Scott Wood. The hike is free. Meet at the Superior Municipal Airport,

on Highway 60, at 6 a.m. for the moderate two-hour walk. Wood will discuss the colorful history of the once thriving mining town and how

both Native Americans and European settlers utilized the local wild desert plants . From 8 to 10 a.m., the Superior Fire Department

RESOLUTION COPPER MINE OPEN LETTER TO OUR SUPERIOR NEIGHBORS

Dear Neighbor,

Many of us who work for Resolution Copper Mining, including me, attended the Superior Town Council special meeting on August 1. It was a pleasure to see such a good turnout and to see such strong interest in the future of the town and the mine. We thank the council for setting aside time to conduct the meeting.

Council members explained their current stance on the project and the land exchange bill pending in Congress; many residents of the community and the region voiced their opinions. We hope the meeting might help us all open a fresh discussion about the issues faced by the town and the mine. We now have a better understanding of the council’s concerns, and we are confi dent that we can work with all the council members to address them. Our hope is that we can regain the council’s support for both the mine and the land exchange bill.

The council and the residents of Superior have helped us not just to communicate our plans better, but also to improve our plans in important ways. They have helped us earn the support we have, and the additional support we hope to earn in the months ahead. Our desire is to create a positive, constructive partnership between the council, the town and ourselves that will allow us to address both the short- and long-term issues we all face.

We hope to work with the council in an e� ort to reach agreement on how we can work together and defi ne a path forward. Our goal is a solid, constructive relationship leading toward a better future for the community, the region and the mine. We anticipate that the mine will have a life of 40 years or more, and we recognize the importance of maintaining a strong relationship with the community throughout the mine’s life.

As always, we are willing to discuss any question or concern you might have. Come by our o� ce at 402 W. Main Street, call us at 520.689.3409, or email us at [email protected].

Sincerely,

Andrew TaplinProject Director

By Nina CrowderSuperior Sun Sometimes even the school board needs to go to school. Last week’s special meet-ing of the Superior School District Governing Board had the school coming to them. Julia Smock with the Ari-zona School Board Associ-ation (ASBA) held a work-shop for the governing board. Smock discussed the school board policies and informed the board that they can change the policies and adopt them as needed. The school board establishes policies that are their responsibilities. It is the superintendent’s responsibility to translate them and put them into ad-ministrative action. There was a great deal of explain-ing the relationship and duties of the school board and the superintendent. The school board and superintendent work hand in hand. Communica-tion to the public, staff and parents plays a key role. The superintendent recommends and imple-ments programs of school community relationships and keeps the community informed of district perfor-mance, policies, programs and procedures. The board adopts programs of school

community relations and remains responsive to the community. The school board com-mits to a vision of high expectations for student achievement and quality instruction and defines clear goals towards that vision. The board has shared beliefs and values about what is possible for students, their ability to learn and the system’s ability to teach all children at high levels. They are data savvy, embracing and monitoring data both posi-tive and negative. They use data to drive continuous improvements. They align and sustain resources, such as professional develop-ment, to meet district goals and to lead as a united team with the superinten-dent. Together they are a strong collaboration with mutual trust. Setting appropriate agen-das, making procedures, meeting procedures and school board communica-tion was also addressed. The most important item was communication. Board members have to communicate with the superintendent. The super-intendent needs to know that the board members are following the com-munication policy that has been adopted for the staff

Superior School Board setting new goals

and community. If a board member acts outside of policy it can damage the school board and superin-tendent relationship as well as create confusion and distrust among the staff and community.

The district mission state-ment was discussed at great length. The current mission statement is as fol-lows: It is the mission of Superior Unified School District to provide a nur-turing environment that en-sures that students will be provided an opportunity to attain maximum achieve-ment, academically, social-ly, culturally, physically, ethically and emotionally. Students will work toward acquiring a social aca-demic foundation essential for achieving individual and group success and will make contributions to con-tinually improve self and society. This mission will be ac-complished by the board, the administration, the staff and the community by cooperating as a team and working together in a positive direction with cur-riculum/instruction as the number one priority. Public records, meeting agendas, open meeting laws and educational phi-losophy were discussed as well. The school board is operating within the Arizona School Board As-sociation standards. Some of the goals the school board and super-intendent said they would like to see are: increased academics, ‘A’ rating for the school, programs like music and art to add to the curriculum, and handicap improvements on the facil-

By Nina CrowderSuperior Sun Where are the tailings go-ing? That was the question of the

night at last week’s forum hosted by Resolution Copper Company. Andrew Taplin, project director with Resolution

Resolution Copper discusses tailing sites with publicCopper welcomed the public and many elected officials including Mayor Rankin of Florence, Lerry Alderman of Globe City Council, Dave Richards of Mesa, Superior Town Council members, Mayor Jayme Valenzuela, John Tameron, Mike Alonzo, “Kiki” Peralta and Steve Estatico. Pinal and Gila county boards were also rep-resented. “We have held many meet-ings and they have been very successful and we appreciate everyone taking their time to come to the meetings,” Tap-lin said. “We desire to have a positive and constructive relationship with the Town of Superior, the Superior Town Council and public so that we can work through this world class project.” The purpose of last week’s meeting was to inform the public about the Resolution Copper Mine Tailings Proj-ect and answer questions the public may have. Resolution Copper Mine (RCM) will create 3,700 jobs. $5 bil-lion or more will be spent to design and build the mine, and close to $1 billion has already been spent to date. The mine will be in opera-tion for 40 to 50 years. The mine will create $220 mil-lion in annual wages. It will produce $61 billion in total

economic benefits to the state of Arizona. The mine will generate $20 billion in total federal, state, county and lo-cal tax revenue. They plan to produce one billion pounds or more of copper each year. During the life of the mine, the tailings storage will re-quire 3,000 to 4,000 acres (4.6 to 6.2 square miles) of land. The tailings consist of

sandy, clay, dirt and leftover materials after ore has been mined. They are stored per-manently in impoundments that must comply with strict environmental requirements for controlling dust, prevent-ing acid, rock drainage and protecting water and other

resources, as well as recla-mation and closure. RCM’s first choice for the tailings site was Pinto Val-ley but since it has reopened the option of using that site has been eliminated. There are several places they are

Superior Police Report

By Rev. Dennis Van Gorp Family Life Christian Center In Matthew chapter 4, we find Jesus fasting for forty days and forty nights. Genesis 7:12 tells us that it rained upon the earth for forty days and forty nights. In Exodus 24:18 and 34:28, we find Moses on Mount Sinai with the Lord for forty days and nights. Exodus 16:35 tells us that Israel ate manna for 40 years in the wilderness until they entered the Promised Land. Also, in 1 Kings 19:8 we find

the prophet Elijah traveling for forty days and nights to reach Mount Sinai. The number 40, in the Bible, refers to completion. Forty days of rain was the correct amount of time to flood the entire earth. God’s instructions for Israel required forty days for Moses to take it all in. Eli-jah’s journey to talk with God at Mount Sinai required a forty day trip through the desert wil-derness. God is not in a hurry. He wants you and I to get things

right and do them correctly. He will take the necessary amount of time needed to pre-pare us for our next assignment from heaven, or for the next season in our ministry or lives. Do not get frustrated when you are in the middle of your forty day journey. I’m certain that forty days of walking through the desert wilderness was a tiring and monotonous trip for Elijah. So, hang in there. Your journey will be successful and you will reach your destina-tion!

Pastor’s Corner – Forty Days, Forty Nights


By Andrew LuberdaSuperior Sun Head football coach Ryan Palmer has a roster full of young players on this season’s team. Those younger players are getting all the repetitions they could ask for during training camp. With the graduation of several seniors, including two of the most decorated student-athletes (Louis Fuentes and Mario Padilla) to attend Superior High School, there are plenty of opportunities for the Panthers to gain experience. “We’re a really young group,” Palmer said. “We lost nine starters from last year that had been starters for at least two years. We have a group that has potential and they show promise. It’s getting them the reps and experience.” Most of the younger players are freshman who have not played at the varsity level but, according to Coach Palmer, will be counted on to perform against more experienced

players on other teams. “They are going to be asked to compete,” Palmer said of his young roster. “It puts us at a disadvantage in that aspect but there is potential. I see it there.” The Panthers return only three players with varsity experience including Matthew Zavala, the only returning starter. Coach Palmer said Fuentes and Padilla were great players and leaders for his program but their departure provides an opportunity for someone else. “We need some of the younger kids to step up and fill those roles,” Palmer said. “Like I said, we’re learning and getting better every day.” Palmer said Nicolaus Cruz and Elias Olmos are currently competing for the starting quarterback position. He said the team is scheduled to scrimmage Salt River HS on Aug. 23, 2013 and expects their performances in the scrimmage will help

Panthers’ youngsters getting much needed reps

Other goals include: improve staff moral, in-crease staff salaries, school nurse, new playground and safety equipment, improve current school website, communication with pub-lic, increased enrollment, more food options for school lunches, improve technology and increased technology education. Ms. Smock went over some different ways to try and make these goals attain-able. The school board and superintendent will be hav-ing some workshops before the regularly scheduled meetings to discuss steps in obtaining these goals. In other business, Mila

Besich Lira, the Superior School Board president, recently attended a Rural Economic Development Conference. The confer-ence provided information on different ways to ob-tain grants for the school, ways to develop new ideas and strategies, strengthen ability to operate, build and renew relationships, community services and economic development in rural schools, how to allow everyone the opportunity to obtain a GED and how to promote education across America. “It was a very informative conference and I obtained a great deal of informa-tion,” Lira said. Just a few action items were discussed as per the agenda. An additional

substitute teacher, Shirley McCauley, was approved and added to the Superior Unified School District list of substitute teachers. The school board discussed and approved Food Service Manager Melissa Perez’s salary. William Duarte’s salary will be discussed at the Sept. 4 meeting. The Superior Unified School District Board’s next regularly scheduled meeting is Sept. 4, 2013 at 7 p.m. at the John F. Ken-nedy Elementary Audito-rium.

looking at now. There are competing interests for the land on U.S. 60 near Flor-ence. RCM is looking to an area west of Superior on U.S. Forest Service land along with Potts Canyon/Hewitt Canyon, Gonzales Pass and Silver King. RCM has recently submit-ted an application to the U.S. Forest Service for permis-sion to gather baseline data over a general area west of Superior covering several tailings alternatives. This means they have asked to do research which includes some drilling on the site. No decisions have been made. The application involves a review process under the Na-tional Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). It may take up

to a year before RCM can gain permission to gather the baseline data. NEPA is a public process, which gives opportunities for public input. Frank Deal, the tailings manager for RCM, provided a power point presentation explaining what tailings are. He explained how they are stored, how they will be transported (pipeline), and locations they are looking at that included before and after reclamation. Many of the questions from the audi-ence were answered in the presentation by Deal. A few questions required a little more explanation. He ex-plained how the 3,700 jobs will be broken down. Ac-cording to Deal, 1,400 jobs will be directly employed with Resolution Copper while the remainder 2,300 jobs will be with contractors

as indirect employees. The ore will be hoisted through the shaft onto a conveyer and transported. The old Magma tailings site will never be used again. Legally they are not allowed to build or put together a tailing site like the Magma tailings site any lon-ger. The legal aspects have changed. A question was asked about the possibilities of earthquakes due to the drilling but the RCM panel said they are not concerned with earthquakes. The Resolution Copper Mine appreciates public opinions and questions and hopes to continue to work with the public, the Town of Superior and surround-ing communities. If you have additional unanswered questions, please feel free to email Resolution Copper at [email protected] or call 520-689-3409.

The proposed project meets the criteria needed for the project and Pinal County will oversee the project. This project was approved by the town council. In other business, the council approved Resolution 543 and Ordinance 115 setting the tax levy amount and rate for the 2013-14 budget. The council heard from resident Sue Anderson during the call to the public who had more information about the Prickly Pear Festival. There will be a hike to Pinal City, wine tasting, it is free and should

be a lot of fun. She also asked for clarification on the vote for the PSCO negotiations. The council heard a report on the Caboose Visitor’s Center. A door is stuck and it has been for a while now. They also heard from resident Benny Hernandez during the call to the public about an incident that happened. He said that Pinal County Sheriff’s Office was the only agency who helped him. Since the incident he has been harassed by a Superior Police Officer. The Superior Town Council’s next regularly scheduled meeting will be Sept. 4, 2013 at 7 p.m. The meetings are held at the Superior Senior Center, 360 W. Main St. Mayor Jayme Valenzuela openly encourages members of the public to attend the meetings.

By Mila Besich LiraSuperior Sun The AIMS test is not an easy test to pass. It is designed to challenge students and help schools determine where students are at in their academic careers. While most students pass the test and move on, it is not easy to excel in one yet alone all three subjects math, reading and science. Two students from the Superior Junior-Senior High excelled at all three subjects in last year’s AIMS tests. Those two students are Matthew Hernandez an eighth grader and Allison Martinez a Freshman. The students were awarded a gift bag full of Superior Panther clothes, and other spirit

merchandise donated by Ms. Sommers, the Woodmen of the World and the Superior Booster Club. The Superior Optimist Club gave each of the students a $25 Visa Gift Card. Both of the students have big plans for their futures explained Billy Duarte, Principal at Superior Junior-Senior High School. “These two students have the potential to continue to make us proud through their hard work and great accomplishments,” he said. Matt Hernandez wants to be the best of the best educationally. He would like to attend NAU or ASU after high school to earn his degree as an engineer and then earn a Doctorate. His hobbies are running

and he is always looking for new challenges. Allison Martinez goals for high school are to exceed all her AIMS and maintain a 4.0 throughout her high school career. She would like to attend Central Arizona College for two years then transfer to the University of Arizona to major in Veterinarian Science. She plans on earning her Master’s degree from one of the universities in Colorado. Her plans after college are to either to become a veterinarian here in Arizona or move to her family’s ranch in Mexico to care for the cattle they raise with her skills. She enjoys volleyball, basketball, reading, practicing her French and crocheting.
