Updated information regarding unaccompanied minor refugees
I
am passing along some general information on the unaccompanied immigrant children from Central America and their recent, temporary placement at Right Of Passage, Sycamore Canyon Academy seven miles outside of Oracle. I have learned that Sycamore Academy has received approximately 20 youth refugees. These are children roughly between the ages of 12 to 16. About half of these children at Sycamore Academy have already benefited from the good care and treatment from Sycamore Academy and are ready for relocation within the next 10 days. Staff at the Academy is currently processing paperwork to have these children reunited with family members in other parts of the country, until the Federal Government

processes their cases through legal channels. Other children may be returned to their country of origin, via the Federal Government. The Federal Government in their handling of these unaccompanied minors has placed these children in facilities like Sycamore Academy, a licensed state facility whose mission is to provide therapeutic counseling and guidance to children. The objective of these temporary placements for unaccompanied minors is for quick reunification with family. These refugee children that the Academy has been treating have no Central American gang affiliations. They have been examined by medical professionals in the U.S. and have been given a clean bill of health – they are not carrying any diseases or illnesses. I have to give credit to all of those individuals who have been handling this unexpected influx of these minors from Central America. They have worked hard to treat these children with grace and dignity. I know the number of

“There are numerous countries in the world where the politicians have seized absolute power and muzzled the press. There is no country in the world where the press has seized absolute power and muzzled the politicians” —-David Brinkley
Oracle residents that have joined the “Have A Heart” campaign to support these children continues to grow, thanks to Kaz and Frank Pierson. It is not an easy situation to see these kids being sent off from their homes to escape the horrible conditions that have plagued their By Pete Rios countries. I will Special to the Miner not chastise the parents who have sent their kids off in hopes of a better life. I have not walked a mile in their shoes, therefore I will not judge. I do know the number of unaccompanied minors crossing the border in Texas into the U.S. has dropped significantly and continues to fall.

Bravo retains JP seat; general election candidates set for Nov. election By Mila Besich-Lira Copper Area News
All election results are as reported through the Pinal County Elections office and the Arizona Secretary of States office. Election results are currently unofficial until they are canvassed and approved. Despite an overall low voter turnout state wide, Copper Corridor voters went to the polls and cast their vote for their party’s candidate in last weeks primary elections. Pinal and Gila county voters have played a huge role in the Congressional district one race where the republican candidates are still waiting to learn who received their party’s nomination for CD 1. Candidates for Arizona Legislative District eight were also nominated. Locally Hayden, Kearny, and Mammoth all had municipal elections and all of the Justice of the Peace and constable seats were up for re-election. Voters in Congressional district one are still waiting to see who will face incumbent Democrat Representative Ann Kirkpatrick. At press time votes were still being counted to determine the race. Only 359 votes separate Andy Tobin and Gary Kiehne and there are still 3200 provisional ballots to count. Due to the close numbers there may be a recount of all the votes before a winner is determined. Hayden voters submitted their votes to elect Bobby Smith as mayor of Hayden and they re-elected

councilmember incumbents Maria Munoz with 94 votes, Rhonda Cooper with 71 votes and Gloria Ruiz with 80 votes. Smith was elected in a write-in election that was called following the resignation of former Mayor Charles Vega. Smith received 45 votes and his opponent Jose Vasquez received 32 votes. Town Clerk Laura Romero explained that at this time is appears that Smith has the 50 percent + 1 of the votes needed to be elected as mayor however the town was waiting on confirmation from the town attorney to determine if a general election will be needed to elect the mayor. Kearny had three council seats open in this primary election, with no opposition Lana Dalton and Daniel Radcliff were re-elected to their seats and Nancy Hinojos was elected to fill the seat of Neil Gambell who did not seek re-election. Stats on the election shows that Daniel Radcliff was the lead vote getter with 410 votes, Nancy Hinojos received 390 votes and Lana Dalton received 365 votes. Voters re-elected Sam Hosler as mayor of Kearny. Hosler received 300 votes while James Hosea received 254 votes. Mammoth voters elected two councilmembers during the August primary. Pedro Chapo Gallego received 185 votes, incumbent Rogina Gina Medina received 146 votes and there were 62 write-in votes. Based on data from the League of Cities and Town Directory, Gallego will be filling the vacant seat on the council which term ends in 2014. Councilmember Erik Romero’s seat also expired in 2014, however a third candidate did not run and it does not appear that Romero sought re-election. Democratic voters in Superior and Kearny re-elected Larry Bravo as their Justice of Peace. Bravo faced Kearny

resident Michael Cosme Real. Bravo took the election with 531 votes, Real received 417 votes. Christopher Alvarado was elected as the constable, he beat out incumbent Richard Elliott. Alvarado received 550 votes, Elliott received 365 votes. There were no Republican candidates in the primary election so Bravo and Alvarado will take their oath of office in January. San Manuel and Mammoth voters elected Arnold Estrada as their Justice of the Peace. He faced Ernest Bustamante, and Peter Curley in the Democratic primary. There were no candidates in the Republican primary for JP. Henry Velazquez ran unopposed for constable for the San Manuel and Mammoth district. Oracle Republican voters elected Nancy Discher as their candidate for Justice of the Peace. Discher faced Robert Kent and incumbent Keith Miller in the Republican Primary for JP. Discher received 1,708 votes, Miller received 351 votes and Kent received 665 votes. Discher will face Gary Graham in the November general election. Oracle Republicans elected Mike Sloan as the constable with 1,492 votes. He was victorious over Brad Ray, 447 votes, and Ronald Strawn, 325 votes. There were no candidates in the Democratic primary for constable, therefore Sloan will be seated into the office in January. Arizona Legislative district eight will have Democrat incumbent Senator Barbara McGuire facing Republican Irene Littleton. Littleton beat out San Tan Valley resident Alan Pease and Harold Vangilder. Representatives Frank Pratt and TJ Shope successfully won the republican primary. They will face Democrat former Globe City Councilmember Carmen Casillas in the general election. Incumbents Pratt and Shope beat out Wayne Bachmann and Darla Dawald.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Passing Remarks and Observances Retiring from the mission field on the Navajo Indian Reservation, my husband and I searched Arizona for a place close to the VA hospital where we could retire and set down roots. We chose the beautiful Sonoran Desert along the Copper Corridor. We purchased a home overlooking the Galiuro Mountain range where we could enjoy the lovely sunsets in the evening. We’ve lived in Mammoth, AZ now for almost 4 years. It’s been a bitter-sweet time. New in town, people we met discovered that we had a lot of experience in medical and fire. My husband found out than some areas had no dedicated fire service. Many of the people living in that area asked him to help them get a quicker response in case of fire or urgent medical need. This was the birth of Pinal Rural Fire Rescue. My husband is a walking miracle. He had cancer of the throat and neck 15 years ago which should have claimed his life, but God allowed him to recover, become a preacher, and continue in Fire/EMS. Bud Paine has always been concerned about the welfare of people’s lives and their souls. It took a long time to learn to speak without a voice box but he did. Sometimes people think he’s angry when it’s just the huge amount of exertion required simply to speak. He must force air in through a hole in his neck, between his trachea and esophagus through an internal prosthesis, then up and out through his mouth to be able to form words. We both appreciate the opportunity to have served the people surrounding Mammoth. Several have hatefully spread untrue rumors and lies about us and the things we’ve done. I wish people would learn to guard their mouths more closely and look for the good in people instead of the bad. We know that the people affected in the close to 400 medical/fire calls, the students in our free CPR/AED classes, and recipients of the Home Alone Safe Alone units/guard rails are very appreciative of the services we’ve performed. Even though my husband has donated over $30,000 of his own retirement money and been awarded hundreds of thousands of grants for the fire department, the only pay we seek is the gratefulness of the people we’ve served. It has been a true honor. Please support the new Chief of Pinal Rural Fire Rescue as he has a lot on his plate. Volunteer to help and make his job much easier. There is much to be done and we’re sorry to be leaving when so much is happening and so much work needs to be done, but my family in Idaho needs me and Bud’s health really can’t take the stress anymore. You can reach Pinal Rural Fire Rescue’s new fire chief, Chief Rod Pradst, at 480-313-2928. May God bless each and every one of you! 2 Corinthians 13:11 ~ “Finally, brethren, farewell. Become complete. Be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you.” /s/ Deanna Paine LPN, NRP

Lobos score most points in 11 years in win over California team By Andrew Luberda Copper Basin News The Hayden football team did something in last Friday’s win over the San Pasqual Valley Warriors that hadn’t been in over a decade. The Lobos scored
70 points, their highest scoring output in 11 years, according to stats on MaxPreps. com, in defeating the Warriors, 70 – 6. The Lobos scored at least 14 points in each quarter; 14 in the first, 16 in the second, 24 in the third, and 16 in the fourth. They led 30 – 6 at the half,
before shutting out the Warriors in the second half, 40 – 0. The next highest scoring output by the Lobos was 68 points on September 28, 2012. They defeated the Arizona School for the Deaf and Blind, 68 – 30. The Lobos will look to win their second
game in a row and match their win total from last year this Friday in their home opener. They’ll face second-ranked Pima, which is coming off a 50 – 25 win over tenth-ranked Ray in last week’s game. The game is scheduled for 7:00 p.m.
Bearcats lose battle of top ten teams By Andrew Luberda Copper Basin News The Ray Bearcats traveled to Pima last Friday night looking to hand secondranked Pima its second straight loss of the
season in a matchup of two top ten teams in Division VI. The Bearcats entered the contest ranked sixth, according to rankings released by the Arizona Republic. Pima proved why it was ranked so highly despite an 0 – 1 record heading into the
game, defeating the Bearcats, 50 – 25. The Roughriders were coming off a loss against top-ranked Bagdad in week zero. Including last season’s 57 – 6 playoff loss to Gilbert Christian, the Bearcats have now allowed 50 points or more in consecutive
games. The loss dropped the Bearcats to tenth in the most recent rankings. They’ll try to get into the win column this week in the home opener versus Valley Union. The game is scheduled for 7:00 p.m.
Jr. Bearcats cruise to victory in season opener By Andrew Luberda Copper Basin News The Jr. Bearcats opened their season last week in grand fashion by defeating Superior, 36 – 14. The Jr. ‘Cats scored five rushing touchdowns in the lopsided victory. “Offensively, the boys did very well,
especially the line opening the holes for the rushing game,” Jr. Bearcats head coach Frank Lechuga said. Anthony Lopez and Jaden Pace accounted for all five touchdowns against the Jr. Panthers. Lopez tallied four scores while Pace ran for another. Fullbacks Danny Garcia and Romeo Varely ran up the middle against
Superior’s defense, wearing out the Jr. Panthers as the game went along, according to Lechuga. After the game, Lechuga said he was pleased with the discipline his team showed in the first game. They were flagged for three or four penalties, which is exceptional, especially this early in the season.
Lechuga expects his team to continue to work hard and display a good attitude. If they do, he says, they have an opportunity to improve from week to week and be ready when the playoffs come around. The Jr. Bearcats will travel to Oracle to face Mountain Vista on Wednesday, September 3, 2014. The game is scheduled for 6:00 p.m.
Cobre Valley Regional Medical Center to host blood drive Sept. 25 “The single contribution that you make can make a difference to your friend, family, or coworker in a time of crisis. It is definitely worth a few minutes of discomfort to give someone the gift of life!” Traci Stewart, CVRMC Lab Director, is enthused and passionate about increasing the blood supply for United Blood Services, the supplier of emergency blood for our local area. Medical advances and modern surgical
techniques, (such as cancer treatments, organ transplants and open heart surgery), have increased the need for blood. In addition, the advancing age of the Baby Boomer generation has caused stress on the blood supply. Our blood supply must be ready for everyday needs as well as the unexpected, such as accidents, natural or manmade disasters. CVRMC hosted a blood drive for United Blood
Services on Thursday, May 22, 2014 for four hours and successfully collected 41 units of blood. “Thank you, this really helped their inventory for the Memorial Holiday,” said Traci. The next drive will be held in the MOB on the campus of CVRMC on Sept. 25, 2014. To register, visit www.BloodHero.com (Sponsor Code: Cobre) or call Traci at (928) 402-1271.

She also served as a Legislative Fellow with the National Congress of American Indians in Washington D.C. – her portfolio included issue areas in the realm of education, health and human services, and youth initiatives.
Tara’s long time dedication to Indian Country will serve as an integral part of her position while she seeks to create partnerships with tribal communities and other agencies.

Whether it is assisting in the preparation for traditional ceremonies, birthday parties or our family reunion, I enjoy the time we spend with one another,” she said. “I have the pleasure of working with the public on a daily basis. Furthermore, I am learning about the needs of tribal communities and how we can make a positive difference in our relationship,” Tara explained when asked about what she enjoys most about working in the communities department.

SERVICE SALUTE Hall of Fame Inductee and Class of 2014 Exemplar Major General Richard S. Haddad honored “Integrity First, Service Before Self, Excellence In All We Do” are the creeds of the USAFA Preparatory School. It sounds a daunting task to live up to such ideals. Imagine the man who could do so. Where would he be from? In what hallowed halls would he be privately educated? What privileged life would he live, allowing him to focus on such lofty goals of self-perfection? Can you see him in your mind? Chances are, if you are old enough, you saw him in your class or buying a bottle of soda pop at your local diner. Major General Richard S. “Beef” Haddad grew up in Kearny, graduating from Ray District High School in 1976 before going onto the U.S. Air Force Academy Preparatory School in Colorado Springs, Colorado in 1977 and, in the same area, obtaining a 1981 Bachelor of Science degree in management in the U. S. Air Force Academy. He met and married Ginger, from Arkansas, on Dec. 28, 1983.
He is the son of Navval Haddad of Kearny and the late Kelly Haddad. General Haddad was commissioned through the U.S. Air Force Academy and entered active duty in 1981. During his career, he has served in a variety of positions, flying and command, including operations throughout the United States, Canada, the Caribbean, Central America, South America, Southeast Asia and Southwest Asia. He accrued hundreds of hours of combat flying time in operations Iraqi Freedom, Enduring Freedom and Desert Storm and was in command of the first gunship over Port-au Prince, Haiti, in support of Operation Uphold Democracy. After the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks on American soil, General Haddad commanded the 711th Special Operations Squadron through operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom, Continued on page 13

Bryan’s focus on positive economic development and community engagement, along with a passion for giving back to the local community will aid him as he takes on this new and exciting challenge. “I was born and raised in a mining family. Just about every aspect of my life has been affected by the mining industry. I have seen the ups and downs and how this industry can affect small communities and the people residing in them. I have a deep understanding on the importance of mining to our economic success an our communities’ livelihood. I just want to do what I can to ensure mining remains relevant in our small communities and remains an economic engine,” explained Bryan.

Over 71,000 Citizen Airmen, 300 aircraft, 33 flying wings, 12 flying groups and one space wing fall under his purview.
