Excellent SHS showing at robotics competition applauded at school district board meeting
Competitive robot … The robot that helped the Superior Robotics team place well during a recent three-day robotics competition visited with the Superior school board and public at a presentation about the robotics activity. The group was also on hand at the recently held Apache Leap Day and showed off to those in attendance just exactly what the robot can do. Cindy Tracy photo
By Cindy Tracy Its name is “CatRaptor” and though it doesn’t have a head, it is very smart and obeys the commands of the Superior High School robotics club members who gave it “life.” If a member of that team, say, hands an inner tube made of very light, white plastic to CatRaptor, the robot will pick it up and hold it in the air. CatRaptor can also move about a room and do other robot things, always guided by members of the Robotics team. The team brought this clever mechanical individual to the April 6 Superior school board meeting. The robot had been there before but never demonstrated its robotized arm and ability to hold on to an inner tube. The robotic appearance was a part of a report to the board and public about the team’s experience in a three-day FIRST Robotics competition in Chandler March 17-19.
CatRaptor is named for science teacher and robotics team mentor Cathy Denogean, who told the board that the toughest part of the competition for the team had been not being able to anticipate exactly what problems they might face with the robot on the scene. She said there had been a lot of competition at the event. “But they did excellent,” she said. Robotics Club President LeAndrea Rivera thanked the school district for their support in making it possible for the team to be involved in the robotics activity. “Because without a place to build it,” she said, “we probably wouldn’t have gotten so far.” She said that it really helped them to be allowed to stay in the lab in the evenings to work on the project and getting ready for the competition. “We got this down before ‘bag and tag,’” she said. This referred to a competition requirement that the robot had to be bagged and tagged
at a certain time before taking it to the event. The team was not allowed to touch it after it was bagged and tagged until they walked in the door the morning of the competition. Resolution Copper has been the sponsor and mentor of Superior’s participation in the FIRST Robotics activity and Rivera told of how much it helped having the opportunity to talk to Resolution mentors out there at the event. Denogean elaborated a bit more about Resolution’s financial and mentoring aide in the program. Superior placed 23rd out of 42 teams, which it was pointed out, was an excellent result especially in light of how small the Superior district is in relation to some of the competition. There was enthusiastic applause from the board and audience for team, mentor and, of course, CatRaptor, following the presentation.
TALKIN’ TRASH
Majority of residents Summer school, free breakfast and lunch for students and community, fully cooperate in recently stadium lights and more coming up implemented curbside recycling initiative on school campus in near future By Cindy Tracy The Superior Unified School District is winding up its current school year, honoring its students and soon-to-be graduates, and doing some mighty positive planning. Planning efforts are underway for the return of summer school for the first time for a while and following that, the 2011-2012 school year. Actions taken at the April 6 Superior Unified School District meeting all reflected that positive spirit. For one thing, there are two new key positions open in the district. Pete Guzman, who for a few years has been wearing the hats of principal of the elementary and the junior and senior highs in the district, as well as that of superintendent, said he has suggested the position of assistant principal in the junior-senior high be created. The board agreed and the job is being advertised in-house and out-of-house. “I recommended that now is the time to add an administrator back on,” he said. “This new principal will take over most of the discipline and will be available for teachers and students more than the time that I can give them. This is the right time to do it and I commend the board for taking those steps.” The second open position bears the title of “staff development/implementation coordinator.” This person will deal with staff management and handling different assignments that teachers do now. “I’m making this recommendation because I want to see teachers more in the classroom,” Guzman said. “That’s what we hire them for, rather than doing other duties.” The district is able to contemplate adding the new staff members because, according to Guzman, they

are looking at a possible carryover of funds from the current budget year. “Depending on what happens between now and June,” he said, “we have figured the carryover could be approximately $104,000.” Why did this possible budget carryover occur? “It occurred because of the wise planning that was done in the past two years of cutting certain personnel and cutting programs when we needed to because of the economic times,” he said. “The economic times are still rough right now but because we took those measures now we have a surplus.” He credited members of the staff for making this happen. “We cut administrators,” he said, “so teachers stepped up and helped me do the work. Now I’m able to tell them, ‘Thank you very much. You’ve done a great job and now we’re going to hire somebody to take over these things so that you don’t have to do them.’” He said a lot of money had been saved when staff members left and the district did not fill the position. “We also took advantage of the relief pool, where we are able to call people in and they work only the hours that we need them,” he said. Another future advantage in the area of finances is the self-funding facility improvements being coordinated by Arizona Public Service Energy Services. These improvements, which include a plan to bring stadium lights back in the very near future, possibly by graduation, will be a great cost saver for the district, Guzman said. “They are going to come in and put different types of equipment that save energy, from windows to skylights. They are going to do this in all three buildings and it will result in savings. It will help us,” he said. As far as having the lights up for graduation, Guzman said it kind of worried him to tell people that as there is always a chance it might not happen, but that is the goal. However, he said, as of now, graduation is still scheduled for 6 p.m. on May 27. Positive actions were also taken by the school board at the meeting in the approval of the new “Schoolmaster” school management program by Tyler Technologies for the 2011-2012 school year, the Leo student assessment program and the expansion of the MAC-Ro Math Program to Grades 5 and 6. Guzman was also upbeat last week
about the return of summer school to the district. “We are finally going to get summer school back,” he said. “We lost it because of budget cuts in the past.” During the summer session, in the high school there will be recovery for students who have lost credits. This will be done through the credit recovery Plato program. “It’s been a very successful program for us and we’re going to provide it for the high school students,” he said. “I think we have a targeted number of 24 students in the high school for that.” In the junior high, there will be three teachers who will concentrate solely on math and reading for students who have been referred to that program, he said. In the elementary, 45 children have been targeted out for summer school. “We have three teachers who will fill those spots,” he said. “They will also work hard on reading and math.” Along with the school, the district will provide free breakfast and/or lunch for not only the students but the community, along with transportation. The summer school program will last approximately three to four weeks and begin the first week of June. For more information, contact the school And, following an executive session at the school board meeting, was a decision that perhaps Mayor Michael Hing of the Town of Superior had come to be informed about first hand. He had sat in the first row all evening as the board conducted its business. He waited patiently until they came out and one of the items they had discussed was the recent negotiations regarding the sale of Roosevelt school. The board voted to accept an offer by the town to purchase the Roosevelt school site from the district. This had been a concept that had been discussed at numerous meetings of both the Superior Town Council and the school district. The idea has been that the school district can no longer afford to maintain the site since capital funds cannot be spent on a school district property where there are no students. Roosevelt was constructed in the early 20th Century and has been an elementary school, a junior high and has been used for administration and See SCHOOL on P. 5
By Cindy Tracy Curbside recycling is a success in Superior! The mandatory program was a focal point of negotiations until last year between Allied Waste and the Town of Superior before the council voted in a program for residential curbside pickup. It was predated by an also successful voluntary recycling tryout where people brought recyclables to giant blue bins places around the town. Sue Anderson of the Let’s Talk Trash Committee has been a driving force among those who have worked so hard to get curbside recycling into Superior. She reported to Superior Town Council and members of the public at the council’s April 7 meeting on the program and thanked everyone for how well it was doing. She said she wanted to clarify to the public that the 4 percent increase they are seeing on their trash bills are not due to the recycle program. The increase was a result of previous negotiations regarding the Allied Waste trash pickup contract.
She said 70 percent of households are participating and putting their recycle bins out regularly. The next program goal is in education, she said. That includes involving students in the school so that they can learn about the benefits and the “how to” of recycling and be a force for change in the community about this activity. Another aspect of education is an outreach to the 30 percent of households who are not putting out their bins. Finding out why they are not participating and helping them to resolve any issues keeping them from doing so would be the goal of that outreach. $604 has been earned in rebates by the town through the recycle program so far. Anderson said she proposed setting aside these recycling earnings and earmarking them in some kind of program to aid in code enforcement as to the condition of property in the town.
Easter in the Park takes place April 23 on Saturday before the holiday By Cindy Tracy The Easter season is just around the corner! On Saturday, April 23, the Annual Town of Superior Parks & Recreation event “Easter in the Park” takes place downtown. This year, the Easter Bunny is a little behind in his work. He is very, very busy preparing for all the Easter egg hunts taking place in all the communities, towns, cities and individual households across the nation. This includes Superior, but luckily, the Bunny has some helpers here. Save Money Market is donating ALL of the eggs for the Easter Egg Hunt for children planned for Easter in the Park. The Superior Head Start Children are going to help also! They will be coloring all the eggs that the Easter Bunny will hide for the hunt. The Easter Bunny commented
to The Superior Sun that he is grateful and appreciative for this assistance and hopes everyone can come out to the April 23 event and have a good time. There will be prizes for the egg hunt. The focal point for the event is Besich Park. Tentative plans call for an 11 a.m. or noon start, according to Parks & Recreation Director Barbara Arriola. The festival is scheduled to run until approximately 4 p.m. There will be an Easter Hat Contest, for all ages, with 1st-, 2nd- and 3rd-place prizes. There will be other fun activities throughout the day. Posters about the event have been sprouting this week all over town, just like flowers in the spring. Make sure to look for them for more information and read about the event in The Superior Sun as well. And for even more details or to make a donation or volunteer to help, call Arriola at 520-827-0052.

Editor, Superior Sun: The recall group continues to make more accusations toward me, and, I will respond with the same statement: “Simply untrue.” Let’s look at the good things that are happening around our community, just in the past several months. With the Town being able to obtain a San Carlos Apache Tribe Casino Grant,that helped in facilitating in restoring the lights at the High School Football field, the 2011 Superior High School Graduation ceremonies will be under the lights again. We have seen a handful of grand openings of new businesses in our community, from the coffee shop on Highway 60 to the new cafe in downtown Superior. We even have a new business open on Pinal Avenue in the old neighborhood. I congratulate all these new business owners for starting a business in our community, especially during these hard economic times. With the grand opening of the LOST (Legends Of Superior Trails) Trail, this will have a major impact to our Eco-tourism in the near future. Our towns has been labeled as one of the premier gateway communities for the National Recognized Arizona Trail. If you are not familiar with the LOST Trail, it stretches from the
upper Queen Creek Canyon area (old Highway 60 road) through our Historical Downtown District, to, eventually, connecting up with the Arizona Trail east of Town; all in all covering over eight miles. We, also, recently opened the Superior Visitor Center at the US 60 Highway Park. As the Red Train Caboose sat empty for many years, the Red Caboose is now the home of Superior’s Visitor Center. The Town has formed a great partnership with the Superior Chamber of Commerce and the Red Caboose is, also, now home for their office. Since the opening of the center, it has been a success, as hundreds of visitors have already stopped and inquired about our community, and, the surrounding area. I want to mention that these civil projects from the construction of the LOST Trail, to manning of the visitor center, are all thanks to community volunteers. I want to report on the curbside recycling, that it is a success. Thank you to the community of keeping our environment a little cleaner. And we are expecting a rebate for over $600.00 from just the first month of collections. I, also, don’t want to forget the groundbreaking of the new Superior Clinic, planned to be operational by late August. This new facility will be a
great addition to our community. Again, I want to thank the new business owners, as well as Cobre Valley Regional Medical Center, for believing in Superior, and, seeing a great future for our community. There are new things that are developing just around the corner as we strive in improving the quality of life in our community.
By the way, I did not see the recall committee at any of the grand openings or ribbon cutting ceremonies. I guess this is not economic development in their eyes. To the recall committee: bring your work gloves and help us continue on the LOST Trail construction. It was your idea. /s/ Michael O. Hing Mayor of Superior

Pet of the Week ... An elegant ‘royal’ canine personage appropriately named ‘Royal,’ is the current Pet of the Week at the town animal shelter now operated by Superior Animal Rescue (SAR). But though this four-footed doggie individual seems to perhaps be a long lost member of a royal family, the beautiful tan-and-brown pooch is as friendly as a dog can be and would adore to be adopted into a loving household. Like all the dogs at the shelter, Royal enjoys a healthy and happy residency at the facility where there is a yard with trees and grass to play in and comfortable pens for the animals to hang out in and have their own special territories. But Royal and all the guys and gals out there need ‘FOREVER HOMES’ with humans of their own to care for them. For info on adopting Royal or any of the dogs or cats being sheltered by SAR and needing homes, call Superior Animal Rescue President and Adoption Coordinator Carol Dodge at 602-999-9106. Call the Town of Superior at 520-689-5752 or contact Jed Lant at the town’s public works department for pick-up of stray animals. The shelter is open to visitors by pre-arrangement. Community members and visitors are invited to come and tour the facility, visit with volunteers there and spend time with the animals. Call Dodge for an appointment. Volunteers are also being sought to help care for animals or to provide temporary housing for pets sheltered off premises. Individuals are also needed to walk the dogs, providing them with socialization and attention. The Superior Sun publishes Pet of the Week as a service to the community and animals who need care. Adoption fees apply. Cindy Tracy photo

Newly formed and located in Superior, CRC Inc. is ‘committed’ to community By Cindy Tracy The new kid on the block as far as exciting businesses locating in Superior is Copper Resources Contracting (CRC) Inc. Superior residents may have seen members of this organization coming and going and putting in hours of hard labor at the Little League Field upgrade project back in March. CRC and Superior Environmental, helped by many volunteers, provided upgrades and renovations to the field, courtesy of a contract from Resolution Copper. A number of other donors have contributed to the field project as well. The most visible, perhaps, of the upgrades to the field is a lovely green carpet of REAL GRASS and Superior can see their teams playing
on it all during the Little League season, which opens in the coming week. Contact the Little League for details. Recently formed and employing 43 full-timers and on average 10 contract labor employees, CRC is a General A Engineering Company, Superior Chamber of Commerce President Pete Casillas has said. The firm’s principal managers are Doug and Jeb DalMolin. CRC hosted a delicious buffet April 7 in its offices on Magma. Served were sandwiches, fruit, sparkling select sodas in a variety of flavors and other items. The buffet followed the official ribbon cutting ceremony held in honor of the new company officially opening its doors at the Superior location.
In an exclusive interview that day, Casillas told The Superior Sun that a few years back, the principals of what is now CRC cleared out more than 8,000 square feet for the Superior Bow Hunters Club. “They had heavy equipment and manpower that they used to clear that at no charge,” he said. “They did it on a volunteer basis.” He said that CRC had been “instrumental” in supporting the March baseball field project in “helping that get up and running, along with Superior Environmental and a lot of volunteers as well.” He said that CRC had also been really supportive of the community on all levels “as far as donations and so forth.” Now that CRC has branched off from the DalMolin firm, he said,
“they could have opened up in Globe but they decided on setting up shop here in Superior and we want to thank them for doing that,” he added. “I want to say that throughout the years DalMolin, Doug and Jeb, have been really supportive of the community,” Casillas said to the attendees at the ribbon cutting event. “They also did a fantastic job assisting with the baseball field and they’ve been really committed to the community and supporting it. We want to thank them and welcome them to Superior.” He acknowledged and expressed gratitude to CRC for “opening up a shop here in town.” He said that “on behalf of the Chamber of Commerce and the Superior community, we welcome you to Superior.”

Panthers’ double-header rained out By Taylor Sheaffer Ritter Following their loss to Valley Lutheran, the Panthers came back with a fighting vengeance; poor Gilbert Christian got smacked around a bit and that probably stung a little. The boys played a dynamic game on Tuesday, April 5, against those Valley boys who just can’t grasp the idea of ‘really’ playing in the desert, as they come from the land of pavement and strip malls. Can you imagine what they would do if they ran into a javelina on the field? Superior straight up stomped these dudes into oblivion, literally not letting them get plays in during many of the innings. Gilbert Christian managed to eke by a few points during the first and third innings, but any hopes of doing anything with those points ended pretty quickly and the Panthers ripped the Knights’ skills to shreds. The Panthers managed to bring home at the very minimum one run each inning, but usually bringing home more bacon than that; the final score ended 16-5. Following this game, the boys continued to blast their way through games as they met with Thunderbird Academy on Thursday, April 7. What can be said? The Panthers “beat them pretty bad in baseball with Martin Granillo getting the win in game one, and Chris Grap getting the win in game two,”
explained Coach Billy Duarte. Yes, the scores from these games definitely reflect getting badly whooped! Game One score was 16-1 and Game Two felt no better for the Thunderbird with a final score of 14-3. Sadly, the weather did not let this winning streak continue since it decided to rain out the games that were due to take place on Saturday against San Carlos and San Manuel. Bummer, Boys! Softball The ladies had a nice go of things. Superior’s Rockin’ Gals played a double header against Thunderbird on Thursday, April 7, and really focused those amazing skills, bringing the birds to their knees…uhh, yeah birds
have those, right? Assistant Coach Anna Campos has been doing an incredible job with the team while Coach Carmen Preciado is out recovering from knee surgery. Having awesome coaches is definitely a huge plus for athletes who are perfecting the art of the game. The first game was a serious smash, with the Lady Panthers screaming their way to a big, beautiful win with a final score of 25-5…this apparently did not sit well with the Thunderbirds because they did make an honest attempt during the second game. The Lady Panthers again fought them off for the win with a final score of 12-11. Christine Grap pitched the first game with four strikes; the team had seven RBIs, took 30 walks, and
had three one base hits, two two base hits, and one three base hit. Marissa Vidal pitched in the second game for first time this season with eight strikes; the team took 15 walks, had three one base hits, three two base hits and two homeruns from two seniors, Ana and Nicole.

How cool are these people? Superior artists contribute much to local community By Taylor Sheaffer Ritter When I moved to town, I was lucky to very quickly meet many cool people, but strangely one of the people I was unfortunate not to meet immediately was Nancy Vogler. I say strange because Nancy is everywhere, very “high profile” and everyone knows her, her husband Bill and their dog Chuy. Who could miss Chuy, right? In my new group of friends I kept hearing about Nancy and Bill… ”Nancy and Bill did blah” and “Nancy and Bill made blah” and “Nancy and Bill blah”…needless to say my curiosity was well beyond peaked. Usually I am not a meek person and if I want to meet someone, I go right out and meet them. But surprisingly here I forgot completely about Facebook and wasn’t sure how to meet Nancy. So finally after a few months I was introduced to her and her husband Bill at a barbeque and immediately it was as if two lost friends had found each other. She complemented me on my writing and I complemented her on her shirts and we were off from there. I found out very quickly that Nancy has a bevy of wonderfully artistic, quirky qualities…so I guess this profile of she and Bill (and maybe even Chuy) qualifies both as a business feature and artist profile. Most people know Nancy and Bill for one thing or another…Eccentric. Harley Davidson. Aloha Shirts. Awesome Fudge. Blackberry Jam. Chuy Valentine Cards. Chuy Christmas Cards. Cholla Furniture. Volunteerism. Energy. This list really could go on forever because there are so many unique and wonderful aspects about the Voglers.
Let’s start with Something Fishy… this is Nancy’s business venture comprising of inventive ideas taking everyday items of clothing beyond the boundaries of normalcy. It all started when Nancy took a sewing class from her mother when she was 10 years old. “I absolutely hated it,” she said. “It was the most frustrating thing I had ever done.” I laughed at this since it seems to be a large part of her life now. Isn’t it funny that something you hate as a child becomes something you rather enjoy as you get older…for me this equates to gardening and being in Arizona, I am rather crap at it. She explained to me that in the 60s, it was cheaper to sew than to buy ready-made, but in the 70s, when she was “growin’ [her] kids”, it was cheaper to buy ready-made. Nancy started out with Hawaiian inspired shirts, which she made for her father and Bill since they traveled a lot to Mexico as “Hawaiian shirts were what you wore when you were relaxing with a margarita.” She looked for loud, colorful prints for her custom shirts and eventually people began approaching her to purchase them. From here everything just took off! The name for this lovely venture came from the fact that many of the prints she used were fish-themed, but that died down after a while and the name, stuck. So she began looking for, shall we say, “off the grid” prints to use. Her shirts are bright, colorful and spicy to say the least, and because of her ingenuity, she has amassed of following from all over the nation of people who love her individual approach, my fiancé Ben being one. He bought
matching shirts for he and his twin brother; both having rather kooky attitudes, Nancy’s aloha shirts suit them perfectly. Since the shirts have been so popular, she has moved over to aprons, which add some serious sass to the kitchen…she comes out with new aprons as upcoming holidays approach or the weather changes. For instance, as Day of the Dead approached, Nancy searched out and found the most perfect print to showcase this holiday. Then right around the time that pomegranates were becoming ripe, she lovingly came up with some rather excellent aprons to peak that moment. Nancy is definitely a calendar girl, loves dates and holidays and special moments and this definitely shows in her work, but beyond that shows in many other things. The prints she uses are simply dynamic and I am willing to bet that if there was a print that you really loved and you wanted Nancy to make a shirt or apron, she would be happy to. She has recently started making scrubs, so for all of you in the medical field who are not a big fan of the plain green scrubs, Nancy is your go-to-gal. I am a big fan of the red ones with lizards; at the very least they are a conversation starter with your patients. Beyond things of fabric are the very cool pieces of furniture that Bill is working on creating out of Cholla. You can see a few examples at the Copper Gecko – talk about recycling in the best possible way. Bill takes Cholla that has died and cleans them up and turns them into tables, coat racks, shelves, and more. I never thought about the possibilities of Cholla until I talked to Bill, but the
possibilities are truly boundless. I am seriously considering stringing lights through some Cholla just for fun. Bill is the type of guy who finds some object that is truly junk to others and makes something really cool out of it. For instance, he has created an arbor in their backyard with old metal objects, crowned with an old hubcap. Big surprise that Nancy
would be married to someone as equally creative as she is. Then we have Chuy, their miniature Australian Shepard, who I am fairly certain every single person who lives in Superior has at some point interacted with. Whenever I get the pleasure to cross paths with Chuy and his parents, Chuy starts whining/ gurgling/purring at me and then takes my hand gently in his mouth
and leads me to some spot where he knows I will sit down and give him a good rub down. Adorable dog owned by two wonderful people, both artists at heart and they bring their creativity to Superior and definitely enhance the community. You can see Nancy’s shirts and aprons and Bills Cholla furniture at the Copper Gecko, located at 203 West Main Street, Superior.
