Superior teams bring home hardware in first outing at annual EAC chemistry event
Bringing home the medals … Superior High School chemistry students Bill Oliver, Jordan Romero, Chris Floyd, Andrew Woods and Jesse Zavala had a successful trip to Eastern Arizona College in late March to take part in the college’s annual chemistry competition. They did well in the lab experiences they participated in and scored 100 percent in the graphing part of these labs. They received medals and certificates and benefited from the competition in a number of ways, according to their proud SHS chemistry teacher, Jeanne Evenson (not pictured), who accompanied them on the day trip to the EAC campus.

By Cindy Tracy Five Superior High School students traveled by bus March 29 to Eastern Arizona College in Thatcher to participate in a great science adventure. Bill Oliver, Jordan Romero, Chris Floyd, Andrew Woods and Jesse Zavala received medals and certificates and made their chemistry teacher proud by how well they did at EAC’s 19th Annual Student Chemistry Adventure. That teacher, Jeanne Evenson, who this year teaches what is SHS’ first chemistry class since, she believes, the “new” junior/senior high building opened more than a decade ago. The same holds true for the academic study of physics, which she also teaches. Evenson accompanied the five students to the chemistry competition. She says it is the first time SHS has taken part in the annual event that is hosted by EAC’s chemistry department. At the college that morning, EAC chemistry faculty Dr. Phil McBride, Joel Shelton, and Dr. Michael Neary provided a welcome to approximately 70 students who had come to take part in the adventure. Students were from not only Superior, but also Duncan, Morenci, Pima, Safford, Thatcher, and Willcox.
Following some preliminary activities, the competition kicked off with a laboratory experiment to determine the identity of an unknown metal. Competitors identified the mass and volume of the unknown metal to determine its density. They also did an experiment to determine its specific gravity. Evenson said that the SHS students were divided into two teams. They had two lab experiences at EAC. One of these they had practiced at the school for a period of time as preparation for the actual event. “They were given the lab ahead of time,” she said. “So they worked on that particular lab for about a week so that they would know what they were doing. They had the practice of identifying metal by both its density and its specific heat and they got so they were pretty good at doing that.” Following the labs, she and the SHS students had lunch at the college. During their time at EAC they also had the opportunity to watch some “really neat demonstrations that we pretty much can’t do at the high school level since safety factor wise it is just too much.” Because of time and scheduling constraints, the SHS teams had to leave shortly after lunch, she said. She said that she was very proud of how her students worked on things at the competition. Not all of the
competing teams were able to finish both labs but the SHS students. In addition, the SHS teams received a score of 100 percent on the graphing part of each of their labs. “It was a good experience for the students,” she said of their participation in this foray and adventure into the academic world of chemistry as the first SHS team to participate in the EAC competition. She said the participation and how well SHS did at the college could potentially lead to some scholarships for some of these students. Oliver, Romero, Floyd, Woods and Zavala also had the opportunity to learn more about Eastern Arizona College. All the high school competitors had an up-close-andpersonal look at the campus. They also visited the college’s Gherald L. Hoopes Jr. Activities Center and heard about the academic and extracurricular programs open to EAC students. EAC has expressed its appreciation to the high school chemistry teachers for their expertise efforts in providing quality instruction to their students. This included Jeanne Evenson from the Superior district as well as Steve Ahmann from Morenci, Duane DeSpain from Safford, Lane Walburger from Pima, Dave Parnell from Willcox and Becky Bell from Duncan.

By Cindy Tracy New and returning officers were inducted in a solemn ceremony Sunday at the George E. Truman VFW Post 3584 on Main Street, Superior. The post hall was elegantly decked out for the event with rows of flags flying banner style from the ceiling. The post’s familiar long tabletops were spread with cloths of red, white and blue. Flowers were strategically placed about the hall in those same patriotic colors. Shortly after noon, organizers began arriving and families, guests and inductees followed shortly thereafter. Food for the luncheon that followed the service was spread on serving tables. Both the VFW officers and the Ladies Auxiliary of the VFW 3584 Post officers were inducted that into their new positions. The husband and wife team of Rosie and Mike Urquijo served as installing officers for the ceremonies, Mike for the gents and Rosie for the ladies. Chaplain for both inductions was Joy Norton. “Conductors” and “Conductress” aided in escorting people through the ceremony as it
proceeded. The male inductees gathered and took their places in special chairs in the middle of the room. In a series of well-orchestrated and formal steps typical of a VFW ceremony carried out to the letter and carefully followed, outgoing Post Commander Ray Ramirez was recognized. He took his seat with the other inductees as he would continue his dedicated involvement with the service organization as a one year trustee. Inducted as the new VFW Post Commander is Carlos Solis. Charles Jarrell is the new Senior Vice Commander, Gary Despin the new Junior Vice Commander, Mike Urquijo the new Quartermaster, and Roy Tillus is inducted as a three-year trustee. It was soon the Ladies Auxiliary’s turn to hold its installation.

elders, a spokesperson, Rita Wentzel, said. “The purpose of this meeting was to create a dialogue with individuals from Superior and other communities who want to preserve the unique beauty and great outdoor environment that is ‘Oak Flat,’” she said in a media statement released over the weekend. She said main point of discussion at the rally was “how amazing Oak Flat Campground and the surrounding areas are and how we could join together in protecting and preserving this amazing historic campground for future generations to use and enjoy.” Other topics discussed included drilling in the area, cattle overgrazing the riparian areas, and the upcoming Land Exchange Legislation proposed by Representative Gosar and Senator Kyl, Wentzel said. The San Carlos representatives included Audrey Johnson, Sandra Rambler, Delores Jordan and Charlotte Buck, all of Bylas, Arizona. The gathering got rolling at its announced opening time of noon on what hot started out as an unseasonably cold morning. Though there with a serious mission to discuss the campground and perhaps raise awareness of its amenities to those not familiar with them, those in attendance seemed to be enjoying the get-together in the rocky, tree lined natural setting. People stirred coals in fire beds for the cookout, brought out ice and beverages and potluck dishes from coolers. Chairs were set around the campfires and folks bundled up against the rapidly warming day sat around and talked casually. A local man pointed out where there was a lake sometimes when it rained. He mentioned how he and some other kids used to raft there, explaining that the raft was made of wood and parts of a century plant. The people that had been there overnight said the evening before the campground had been
filled with various campers, not necessarily affiliated with their group. Wentzel summed up the event by saying that “… friends and family who care about Oak Flat shared ideas, comments and concerns with one another and

simply enjoyed the beauty of the area. While this journey may be long and difficult, everyone agrees that it will be worth the effort in their common goal to ‘Save Oak Flat.’ Anyone with questions or concerns can contact 520-827-9133.”

CONGRATULATE YOUR SENIOR
By Taylor Sheaffer Ritter It was an unfortunate week for the Lady Panthers. While the ladies had high hopes for going to the State finals, this was not how things worked out. The team is full of talented athletes, yet they had forces working against them; mainly that many of them had not played together until this season. Hence with such a short time to get to know each other’s style, sometimes it is difficult to bring it all together quickly enough to workout in a beneficial manner. ‘Breathe’ by Telepopmusik is recommended listening for the team, especially to the lyrics

started out here as an outreach fellowship from Calvary Chapel, beginning in May of 2009. Mueller and his family have been attending church at Superior First Baptist Church and when the church’s need for a new pastor became known, he interviewed with area Baptist pastors to see if he was compatible with the beliefs and doctrines of the church. “Of course it took a year of praying and talking with people and feeling each other out to find out,” he laughingly said. He explained that from there the church asked him to preach a couple of times and he was then elected and invited to be the official pastor on March 13. Considering that the First Baptist Church had not had a full time pastor for many years, bringing on Pastor Bart must have been a breath of fresh air, the church no longer being in limbo, as it had been for quite a while. What is he like? The best way that you can get a better idea of who Bart Mueller is, is simply to walk up, talk to him and ask him questions. He explained that he was never raised in the Baptist church and that his experience as a pastor is very much experience based. Now there are usually two camps on this topic: the camp that believes the best experience is educational and the camp that believes the best experience is experience. Pastor Bart has found a nice way to mesh these two camps, while most of his education is based on experiences, he is very dedicated to learning and expanding his theological education. Pastor Bart is a person who understands his strengths and

Bart Mueller weaknesses and is doing everything possible to strengthen those weaknesses. He also truly, genuinely wants to help everyone, as many people as possible, whether they come to his church or not. He is looking to “ignite … get them out of the rut and rekindle the flames,” feeling that he wants to spread the many beautiful aspects of having a flourishing community built around the church. He is extremely excited about the Sunday School for kids. “There are kids coming to the Sunday School who don’t come to the church and I think that’s a great thing because the kids are where we need to reach…before they get into the years where they start making bad decisions…reaching the kids is important,” he said. Pastor Bart is also a huge advocate of the personal experience. “The folks here took a huge leap of faith because I am not a Baptist Pastor,” he said. “I was ordained through Calvary Chapel and I think that’s a great testimony for change. Instead of churches splitting, it’s two churches coming together to form something stronger…it’s a great start.” The new pastor believes coming to Superior was the Lord’s doing. “The only reason I am in this town is because I believe God lead me here…I know he brought me here for a reason,” he said. Beyond his personal experience, he said the best way to show them you care is through simple one on one interactions; he noted that Jesus drew believers through his one on one experiences with them. It wasn’t the mass congregations that proved what he said, it was the testimony of those he had personally healed or helped. This is quite true, especially in this day, one doesn’t typically take a person at face value, rather they wait and see if the person does what they said they would. Pastor Bart is a musician and is excited to help bring music to children in the community. This is just one of the many ways he is looking forward to helping in the community. Another is becoming involved with the Superior Food Bank, of which he now sits on the board. Pastor Bart expressed a real desire to become an active part of the community. Now begins that journey! Anyone interested in learning more about Pastor Bart or helping him become part of the community is invited to stop by the church and meet him, help him become involved. The First Baptist Church is located at 921 Belmont Avenue and can be reached at 520-689-5751.
