Four Steps to Changing Your Relationship with Money

A good amount of people are continu-ously occupied with money No wonder since we all must deal with it

Have you noticed that it is hard to control

your thoughts and feelings about money It is easier to control how you talk about it take note that I said ldquoABOUTrdquo it Yes most people talk about money in a descriptive way as observers as if we report about it based on our past experiences or present situations There seems to be a repetitive aspect to it As if your ways were embedded already and made no difference Talking ABOUT money just does not seem to pro-vide a whole lot of possibility for change So a new way is in order

What if we talked FOR money If we did

that we in fact would have more power around it and have a say about how it is going to go This would require working backwards from our goals Instead of using descriptive language use INVENTIVE lan-guage and literally construct your relation-ship with money with the following

1Promises 2Requests 3Commitments 4Declarations

By changing how you use the language you can transform your relationship with money and invent the future itself You do not believe me In 1962 President John F Kennedy challenged NASA and said

ldquoWe choose to go to the moon We

choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things not because they are easy but because they are hard because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept one we are unwilling to postpone and one which we intend to win and the others toordquo

Seven years later on July 20 1969 Neil Alden Armstrong stepped foot on the Moon

Inventive communication leaves very lit-

tle space for complaints and hope a favor-ite of many Hope is nice but if you really think about its passive nature it is not very energizing If you want a powerful life you need to be in ldquoactive moderdquo

Individuals and businesses seem to think

differently about money When individuals discuss money there are a lot of emotions secrecy and complaints as well as the feel-ing of being at affect When businesses dis-cuss money they view it as a tool of survival and community companies are in action and at cause

Therefore if you viewed your money situ-

ation as a business you would free yourself from resignation resistance and emotions enabling you to focus on what you want Also create a business plan as any business would so you can succeed

Last but not least remember inventive

language is not specific to money matters Apply it everywhere where you want to see real difference and while you are at it enjoy being a game-changer

Kudos to go out to the Greenlee Chamber of Commerce for sponsoring the creation of the RVMampT Tourism Council at such an auspicious time in the history of Greenlee County In particular as mentioned by the new RVMampT Chairperson Gail Hackney on page 3 the effort was incepted by Becky Nutt a proud supporter and champion for the cause of rural Arizona and all of Green-lee County

Please join us in wishing tremendous success to the new RVMampT Tourism Council - click here to send an email of congratulations to Gail Hackney and click here for Becky Nutt

I am the newly elected Chairman of the Tourism Council My family has been in this area since the late 1800rsquos and as a long term member of the region I know how unique the people and region are My fam-ily has lived in almost every corner of the region and we are still awed by its beauty and charm

This is little scary for me because I feel that this position is a huge responsibility Our future in this region is dependent on what we do now We are going to grow the question is do we want to manage the growth or have it control us I feel it is im-portant that we preserve our heritage and lifestyle while we grow We do not want to lose what makes us unique

Dentist Jeff Gaskin owner of the former Morenci Miners Local 616 Union Hall in

Clifton is also a caretaker of a historic mural by Tucson artist David Tineo

To meet Jeff Gaskin and get a tour of the union hall and Chase Creek Street go to Cliftonrsquos website I also recommend the Simpson Hotel in Duncan Owner Deborah Mendelsohn has put together a great list of 100 things to do within 100 miles of Dun-can

A friend warned me as I took off for the eastern Arizona mining town of Clifton that Irsquod better not blink or Irsquod miss it

But isnrsquot that the point of road tripsmdashto take you to places you think time forgot to be reminded that interesting people live in those far corners and that what we really need to do is to visit more often

A mural and historic district make Clifton worth the drive

That was the lesson learned from my trip to Clifton a three-hour drive east on Interstate 10 and US Highway 191 I start-ed out with one goal to meet an African-American dentist with the federal prison in Safford who unknowingly became the caretaker of an important slice of Arizonarsquos Chicano history

While the road trip started out as a way to connect with history through Cliftonrsquos noted mural and its 1916 union hall it ended up being a chance to meet a group of newcomers to Clifton whorsquove bought and remodeled historic structures in the busi-ness district

Dentist Jeff Gaskin bought the former Morenci Miners Local 616 Union Hall about 10 years ago In the main room is a mural by Tucson artist David Tineo thatrsquos at least 25 feet wide and almost 10 feet tall When a real estate agent took him to the building Gaskin said it was obvious the hall was in need of care

ldquoParts of the ceiling were coming down and there was water damagerdquo Gaskin re-called during my visit ldquoI didnrsquot know any-thing about the mural or the history but I felt that I better buy this building in order to save itrdquo

The mural is one of about 100 that remain out of the more than 200 murals Tineo cre-ated during his 40-plus-year career It de-picts the 1983-1986 United Steelworkers strike in Clifton and neighboring Morenci

The union hall was the center of the strike which still sparks anger from many Arizona Chicanos and union organizers In 1983 then-Arizona Gov Bruce Babbitt sent in the National Guard to break up the strike against Phelps Dodge sending tanks and helicopters into Morenci to help strike-breakers continue copper mining produc-tion That move earned Babbitt the nick-name Bruce ldquoScabbittrdquo

Helping Rural Arizona grow Rural Graham amp Greenlee Counties boosted by money invested by USDA RD

People in rural Ari-zona face unique chal-lenges Many still donrsquot have access to modern broadband Internet and in too many cases our rural communi-ties rely on aging in-frastructure to provide vital utilities

Declaring that ldquoall Americans deserve a fair shotrdquo President Obama and Depart-ment of Agriculture Secretary Vilsack have made a strong commitment to helping rural America They recognize that rural Ameri-ca is where our values as a nation and our ldquocan-dordquo spirit as a people are rooted That commitment has resulted in great strides in Arizonarsquos rural communities including in rural Greenlee and Graham counties

By Alan Stephens state director of USDA Rural DevelopmentArizona

Story courtesy of the Eastern Arizona Courier USDA has made record investments dur-ing the past three and a half years of this administration strengthening the rural economy and communities and maximiz-ing opportunity for folks who call rural America home

For example since 2009 USDA has in-vested in new and improved broadband service for nearly 7 million rural Ameri-cans and more than 360000 rural busi-nesses Many of those projects were in rural Arizona There were 11 projects on Native American land in Arizona that received loans and grants for broadband develop-ment over the past 3 and a half years

This administration also contributed to the overall revitalization of rural Ameri-can infrastructure investing in more than 6250 community facilities across the na-tion In Arizona our Community Facility Program invested $96194029 in rural por-tions of 14 of Arizonarsquos 15 counties funding

such projects as a refrigeration unit sani-tation vehicles classrooms health clinics trucks medical equipment libraries day care centers hospitals a community center police cars fire stations a composter park-ing infrastructure a community kitchen a greenhouse offices a homeless shelter a bookmobile and sidewalks mdash all of these in just ONE of our program areas

In rural Graham and Greenlee counties USDA RD made a $2768000 low-interest loan and a $4054660 grant to the San Carlos Apache Tribe for a new water and wastewater system The tribe also received a $326960 loan and $100000 grant to build an office building As well the Graham County Interfaith Care Alliance received a $14077 grant for a food bank and the town of Duncan used a $56377 loan and $30357 grant from USDA RD to purchase

Letter To the Editor

With the next Congressional recess about to begin (August 6mdashSeptember 7) now is the perfect time to schedule federal project tours and meetings with your Members of Congress

With the intensifying debate over the nationrsquos almost $16 trillion debt and more scrutiny than ever on existing federal com-munity economic rural transportation and workforce development programs each Regional Development Organization (RDO)Economic Development District (EDD) should focus on building strong re-lationships with their congressional delega-tions

As Congress continues to make diffi-cult cuts it is critical that both the federal

elected officials and their policy staff have a solid understanding of what your organiza-tions do and the programs you work with

As just one example of the need to reach out to your Members of Congress the Economic Development Administra-tion (EDA) is poised to receive between a $19 and $38 million dollar cut in FY2013 (and possibly more with the automatic cuts known as ldquosequestrationrdquo scheduled to be-gin in Jan 2013) We fully anticipate that there will be more frequent and louder calls next year to eliminate EDA

In the US House of Representatives Rep Mike Pompeo (R-KS) continues to regularly call for the termination of EDA through frequent ldquoDear Colleaguerdquo letters to all 435 members of the House Click
