The Great Get-Away Theodore Roosevelt Lake By Patti Daley

RAYES RIDGE DEVELOPMENT Page 7

Roosevelt Lake is the largest lake within the borders of Arizona. Located just 30 miles from downtown Globe, 80 miles east of Phoenix, and 150 north of Tucson, it’s the place to go for folks wanting a wet way to beat the summer heat. “Two and a half hours door to door, it’s a really easy trip up here from Tucson,” says Kim Turk. “I make Globe part of my journey – for lunch, to see friends, to shop.” She takes the trip monthly during the winter and more often during lake season, which runs approximately May 1 through the end of October – though many lake lovers also spend Thanksgiving there. Semi-retired, Turk often comes up midweek and stays anywhere from two to five days at a time. She stays at her mobile home in Lakeview Park, at the southern end of the lake. Activity at Roosevelt Lake, the marina and Lakeview Park, she says, has boomed.

Get Away from Congestion “Covid has encouraged people to get out of the city and congestion and work from home,” says Margaret Rambo of Rambo Realty. “Many are moving onto property they already own.”

Creek bank stabilization along Six Shooter Canyon Road targets trees, riles residents By David Abbott

Ira Dickison’s family has lived on the property since 1965. According to him, his family gave the county an easement to the creek in exchange for a paved road. The lane beside the wash is named after the Dickison family.

Residents along Six Shooter Canyon Road have tangled with Gila County administrators and Supervisor Tim Humphrey’s office for the past few months over a project that is expected to remove a number of large trees from the wash that parallels the road. There may have already been 18 to 30 trees removed, according to Floyd Krank, who has led the charge to protect the trees being removed in response to the massive flooding in Globe-Miami last July in the wake of the Telegraph and Mescal fires that ravaged the Pinals. The County has been working with engineering firm J.E. Fuller to create a flood mitigation plan that includes shoring up and clearing streambeds along Six Shooter Canyon Road, Icehouse Canyon Road, Russell Gulch and Bloody Tanks Wash in Miami. Construction is slated to begin in the fall, after the monsoons have passed, and is expected to be finished by next summer, before the next monsoon season begins. The projects are being funded by about $13 million through a 2021 supplemental appropriation for the Department of Forestry for wildfire management, as well as a $10 million grant from the National Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), according to Gila County Emergency Manager Carl Melford, who touched on the project at a June 7 post-fire and flooding Globe-Miami Town Hall meeting at Miami High School.

Summer is in full swing

PUBLISHER’S DESK

Summer is in full swing, complete with summer sun and rolling monsoons. Here at the Globe-Miami Times offices, we’ve barely noticed. This last month for GMT has been filled with crazy-busy days working on the new Official Business & Community Guide for Globe Miami. This has been something I’ve wanted to do for a long time, and it’s been rewarding to see it come together with so much participation from our local businesses and partnerships! Our lead story this month covers a County-led effort to secure the creek bank along Six Shooter Canyon. (p. 1) The County is undertaking the work to prevent erosion and flooding resulting from the massive amounts of water that now flow fast and hard through this area – an after-effect of the burn scar left by the Telegraph Fire two years ago. At issue is the removal of large, mature trees, which has homeowners in the area at odds with the County’s effort to secure the banks in some areas. As we deal with hotter and hotter temperatures, it’s hard to let any tree go that’s providing shade. That is, unless it leads to an eroded bank that could allow flood waters to threaten homes. The trade-offs aren’t easy. This month, we also bring you another story from Six Shooter Canyon: news on Rayes Ridge, the new housing development being proposed there (p. 7). It’s just the kind of development we need in terms of housing. It will substantially add to the housing stock in the area, with 28 proposed sites, while not overtaxing the infrastructure and services needed to support it – as we’ve seen happen in some rural communities with unlimited growth. Makes me glad to have a life here and have the restrictions and the topography we all seem to love and hate at times. We can’t have unlimited growth. So we have to have smart growth. We wrap up this month with a feature on lake living (p. 1) and the people who call Roosevelt Lake their second home. We know it’s our favorite place to put in a kayak and spend the late evening discovering the water banks, or take a spin on a jet ski. The lake now has a couple of places where you can rent a kayak or jet ski, and there’s always the Marina, which offers houseboats for a day on the lake. So however you choose to stay cool this summer, we wish you fun in the sun!

Copper in Art, Architecture and Living BY AISHA PERINO

opper: It’s a mineral as recognizable as it is essential to the very fabric of modern life. But what is it? Where does it come from? And what makes this ore so important? Copper is famous for its color – it’s one of the few metals that displays a range of colors besides grey or white. When freshly exposed, it showcases a pinkish-orange color, similar to a grand Sonoran sunset. Over time, depending on the climate, copper will develop a beautiful green or nutbrown patina, making it useful for artists and architects alike. Copper is a native metal, meaning it’s found in nature in its purest form. This means it’s instantly useable, which accounts for its being one of humankind’s oldest metals, possibly having been put to use as far back as 11,000 years ago. The Ancient Romans and Greeks regarded copper as a sacred metal, thought to represent the goddesses Venus and Aphrodite. The Romans and Greeks used lumps of copper ore as an important form of currency. The first North American copper mines were discovered in the Great Lakes region of the United States. Many copper artifacts have been found in that region, including fish hooks, projectiles, awls, axes and knives. Recent carbon dating shows Native Americans mined copper much earlier than once thought – as far back as 9,500 years ago – making Native Americans among the first people to mine and use copper. In the Verde district of modern-day Jerome, Native Americans used copper minerals as a pigment for skin and dye. Copper mining has been a major industry in Arizona since the 19th century. Spaniards established the state’s first industrial coppermining operation in Ajo in the 1750s. Silver mining started in the Globe-Miami district in 1874 but ceased operations only three years later. Soon after, copper production took off. Arizona has been a major copper producer since then: In 2007, an enormous 60% of the world’s copper originated here. Without copper mining, many of Arizona’s small communities wouldn’t be what they are today. In art and architecture, copper lends grace and dignity. Copper domes bring prestige and beauty to significant buildings in the Western world. The Macon City Auditorium in Macon, Georgia, features the largest copper-domed roof in the world. In Berlin, Germany, resides the famous copperdomed Berlin Cathedral Church. Copper appears in artful applications including jewelry, home decor and sculpture – such as the one-and-only Lady Liberty. The style and design of the Southwest feature copper in abundance. The region has produced many talented coppersmiths.

When the Ground Shifts Under Your Feet by Patricia Sanders

Railroad tracks are great places to camp, I’ve heard. They’re flat and usually level, you have open sky above, and when you hit the sack, you can nestle cozily between the sleepers. It’s just, sometimes you’ll start to feel a vibration under you. Or you get a kind of presentiment, a feeling something’s going on, so you put your ear down to the rail, like in old movies. And you hear it coming. But it’s not a problem. You have some time, so you gather up your gear, pull up the tent stakes, and move off the tracks. In reality, I’ve never camped on railroad tracks and probably wouldn’t sleep too deeply if I did. But the point of the illustration is: fear doesn’t have to come into it. You don’t move your campsite off the tracks because you’re afraid of the train, you move it because staying there would lead to an unsatisfactory result.

You do need to move, if you don’t want your tent to get smashed flat. But there’s no need to be scared about it. The vibrations on a railroad track are a minor example of the ground shifting under your feet and prompting you to move. But imagine tightrope walkers. For them, there isn’t a ground. Only that barely existent, unstable rope or wire that responds to the wind and to any movement in its fixtures, and to the movements of the rope walker, too. So the person on the rope has to respond to the rope, and it responds to them, and the whole performance becomes this spectacular dance of the rope walker with the rope. Philippe Petit, the guy who once walked on a wire between the World Trade Center buildings, says he feels no fear. You couldn’t do a thing like that if you did.

The world is moving, and we have to move with it. Maybe we were leading too long, and because we felt in control, we forgot we were supposed to be dancing. We got very stiff for a while, and we got used to that. It felt comfortable, familiar, and predictable.

It’s like when you run down a dry wash, from boulder to boulder. Or when you’re coming down a trail that’s full of cobblestones, like there is on the way from the Reavis ranch down to Campaign Creek. It’s so hard to walk on because you have to choose every step and the rocks will shift under your feet. It’s slow going, and tiring, and after a while it kills your knees and ankles. But if you run, it’s so much better. Scary at first, but once you realize how well it works and get a little confidence, it’s pure joy – barrelling down the trail, totally in flow. I like modern dance sometimes, and there’s a wonderful one on YouTube called “Celui Qui Tombe” – French for “He Who Falls.” It’s performed on a square platform about 15 feet on a side. The dancers – six of them – start out just standing still. They’re wearing street clothes, so they look like normal people. Then they start to look a little concerned, and you realize it’s because the platform is very slowly starting to move. The dancers all start to look around, as if they’re trying to figure out what’s going on. The platform is gradually starting to rotate. As the rotation builds, the centrifugal force starts to affect the dancers, and they start to respond to it. They try to brace themselves against it, and some of them stumble. As it picks up speed, they begin to reach out to each

other to keep from falling. Soon they’re all standing together linked by their arms, because it’s more stable to be all connected. As the performance goes on, the platform rotates faster and faster. Eventually some of the dancers seem to realize there’s nothing to be afraid of, and they go to the corners, where the platform is moving fastest, and they lean back. The centrifugal force holds them up and they put their arms out and it’s like they’re flying. In reality, it’s quite a daredevil thing for the dancers to perform. There really is a lot of centrifugal force, and with one misstep or moment of weakness, they could all be thrown off the platform. The dancers must have to be just as brave as the people they’re portraying. I suppose my point is obvious: we’re all those dancers on the moving platform. We’re all tightrope walkers now. We’re all camping on the railroad tracks. The world has changed from what it was fifty or even twenty years ago, and it’s not just that it’s something else now. It has changed from no change to constant change, and it doesn’t look like it’s going to stop. Business people have been on to this for a while. About 20 years ago tech developers started talking about agility – processes that were more about flexibility, collaboration, and empowerment than the rigid style of management that went before. Now, practically every business is practicing agility, because the world is changing too fast for anything else to work. Even capitalists are learning to dance. That’s what it is: the world is moving, and we have to move with it. Maybe we were leading too long, and because we felt in control, we forgot we were supposed to be dancing. We got very stiff for a while, and we got used to that. It felt comfortable, familiar, and predictable. But now the ground is shifting under our feet, all the time, reminding us it is a dance, this life. It’s time to move. And we need to learn to be good followers. To respond to the lightest touch, to move with the world, in harmony, not resisting, but trusting, and fearless. The music has started again. u

MAYOR’S MONTHLY REPORT AL GAMEROS | CITY OF GLOBE 1% SALES TAX INCREASE A public hearing was held on May 24 on Ordinance No. 880, which amends the City tax code to increase the City’s sales tax rate from 2.3% to 3.3%. After public comment, the public hearing was closed and Council voted unanimously to approve the increase, which will take effect on August 1, 2022. The vision of this council has remained focused on the growth and progress and the needs of our City in regard to the quality of life for all of our residents. Our council and staff have continued to work hard for the past four years to build a sustainable economic future for our City. Through our Strategic Action Planning process, we have identified the need for continued upgrades to our infrastructure, facilities, and equipment. In 2022, we are seeing new projects with the completion of the renovated Community Center Pool, installation of new playground equipment at both City Hall and the Community Center, installation of outdoor exercise equipment at the Active Adult Center, and installation of water filling stations throughout the downtown area. All these upgrades require continued maintenance and manpower to make them sustainable projects for the entire community. Our Economic and Development Services Department has been extremely busy responding to the interest in new proposed projects from investors and developers. The deficiency in our community with the lack of housing and rentals is being addressed on a daily basis by our staff, with the potential of four new housing developments coming to our City. Our everyday residents will not really see a difference in their everyday purchases because of the sales tax increase, but the return in revenue to our City will help to sustain and enhance more projects. The 1% increase does not apply to food purchased at the grocery store for home consumption. The 0.3% portion of the City sales tax is solely dedicated to pay the City’s unfunded liability for public safety and has a sunset clause once it is paid off.

TENTATIVE BUDGET APPROVAL On June 28, City Council approved Resolution 1858, which adopts a tentative budget for FY 2022-2023 in the amount of $42,541,669. The tentative budget approval sets the ceiling amount, which cannot be increased but can be decreased before final budget adoption. The final public hearing and adoption of the final budget will take place on July 26. The actual total operational expenditure budget is $12,635,329. The rest of the budget allows for capital improvement projects, matching contributions, anticipated grants, and contingency unrestricted funds. Included in the total amount is a $3 million restricted contingency fund balance and a $4,177,897 unrestricted contingency fund balance.

We cannot overstate how important a census count is every 10 years for our City. The final results for the 2021 census showed a decrease in population of about 120 from our previous census count in 2011. We were informed by the state that this loss in population equated to a decrease of state shared revenues in the amount of $81,000 for this year. The City’s Interim Finance Director, Chancy Nutt, advised Council during her presentation at the public meeting that this is a very healthy budget for a city our size. We want to thank our Finance department and all staff members and department heads for their hard work these past couple of months to finalize a balanced budget.

USDA LOW INTEREST RURAL LOAN At its June 28 meeting, Council approved Resolution 1859, which directs staff to apply for a low-interest loan from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). The loan will be used for the construction of a new fire station in an amount not to exceed $8 million and for the purchase of a new ladder truck not to exceed $2 million. Our staff will begin the application process, which is very long and detailed and is due by September. The announcement of funding should be around January of 2023. Our current fire station is around 120 years old and our ladder truck is 30 years old. This project would not be possible without the increase in sales tax.

Southwest Gas will be installing the gas lines for the heating of the pool and splash pad. APS will be installing the lighting around the pool areas. After seeing the work that is being done, we believe this project will be something our entire community will be proud of. There is no solid date for the official opening of the pool.

COVID UPDATE Covid case updates are now reported on a weekly basis every Wednesday by the Arizona Health Department. Here are the numbers for the week of June 23 through 29. In Arizona, there were 16,514 new cases recorded and 63 deaths, and a PCR% of 12.3%. In Gila County, there were 111 new cases and zero deaths recorded, and a PRC% of 9.1%. You can still schedule an appointment to get your vaccine or booster at the Gila County Health Department by calling the Vaccine Hotline at (928) 910-4009 and choosing option 1.

HILL STREET SCHOOL APARTMENT PROJECT Gorman & Company received notice on June 1 from the Arizona Department of Housing that their application was successful to receive an allocation of a

9% tax credit to help make the Hill Street School project possible. This project will bring to life this historic school building and create an additional building, which together will house a 64-unit affordable senior housing apartment complex. The next step is to complete the design phase and permitting process in order to finalize the financing. Gorman & Company anticipate closing on the financing sometime in 2023 and then beginning construction. This project is estimated to cost around $18 to $20 million and will take 16 to 18 months to complete construction. We anticipate the opening to take place in the fall of 2024.

FIRST FRIDAY EVENTS AND DOWNTOWN CRUISE The First Friday events continue to grow each month, with more participation from downtown businesses, vendors, and cruisers. Everyone is invited to participate in the downtown cruise, which begins at 6 p.m. We invite all the community to come downtown, support the participating businesses, and enjoy live music, food trucks, and vendors. Anyone wishing to set up a vendor booth during any First Friday event may do so at no cost by contacting Linda Oddonetto.

GLOBE CEMETERY Also at the June 28 meeting, Council approved a contract with Rick Engineering for the Globe Cemetery Expansion Project Design in the amount of $29,950. More space is needed at the City’s cemetery to provide additional burial plots. Because of the low number of plots available, a Declaration was signed in June that allows only City residents or individuals who have close family ties to Globe to purchase one of the remaining plots until more become available.

COMMUNITY CENTER POOL UPDATE City Council and the public had an opportunity to tour the Community Center Pool site these past two weeks. The construction remains on track as expected with the ongoing issues with supply and demand as well as the many additions that have been added on to the initial rendering. The initial flooring for the pool has been poured and the gutter system installed. The next steps are to erect the new entryway, which includes the bathrooms and showers. The poles that will hold up the large shade area will be cemented in, along with the legs of the large slide to be installed, which is one of three that will be on site.

INSIDER’S SCOOP

City of Globe addresses sustainability of new community amenities in new budget

By David Abbott

The City of Globe City Council is in the process of approving a far-reaching 2022-2023 budget that will include funds dedicated to providing citizens an improved quality of life with investments into City parks and a reimagined community pool. “This is a great moment in the history of our City parks,” says Globe Mayor Al Gameros. “We are grateful to BHP, CVRMC, Freeport, Gila County, and our other community partners for providing funding for these important projects.” The City of Globe has received more than $700,000 from BHP to upgrade parks around the city, including the community pool, and install water refill stations throughout historic downtown in an effort to increase recreational options for citizens and travelers alike. The work is part of the city’s Parks and Recreation Revitalization Plan that also includes reopening the pool later this summer. Additions to the City’s parks includes: • Replacement of playground equipment at the Globe Community Center and City Hall Veterans Park, paid for with $250,000 in grant funds; • A new Splash Pad, paid for with a $100,000 in grant funds; and, • Water bottle filling stations throughout Historic Downtown, via a $30,000 grant. The Parks and Recreation Revitalization Plan is part of the City’s 2020-2023 Strategic Action Plan and through the generosity of BHP, several of the recreational goals for the community are well on the way to being met. “We want to thank BHP for bringing these new playgrounds into the community,” says Linda Oddonetto, Globe Economic & Community Development Director. “City Council has prioritized recreation and improving our parks as a key Council focus in the years ahead and this will be a big help.” Oddonetto added that Gila County deserves a big thanks too, as earlier this year, the Board of Supervisors approved an impressive $100,000 expenditure that will go a long way toward helping meet Council’s goals. There was a dramatic increase in park use during the COVID-19 pandemic, and now the community demand for recreational amenities is at an all time high. The City continues to work to make them a more valuable and welcoming resource. City parks not only encourage more healthy lifestyles, but they have also been identified as important economic

drivers by several City initiatives, including the Strategic Action Plan, the Recharge Our Community Economy Action Plan that was sponsored by HUD, and facilitated by Rural Communities Assistance Corporation, as well as the Cobre Valley Collaborative Three-Year Community Action Plan, sponsored by Vitalyst Health Foundation and Arizona Partnership for Healthy Communities, facilitated by Pinnacle Prevention. Parks and places of recreation can contribute to community well-being by increasing physical activity and reducing stress, and strengthening social ties by providing spaces for art, athletics and events. Open spaces have also been attributed to decreases in crime. Globe’s Recreation Master Plan is a direct result of a desire to establish social and built infrastructures that reinforce the ability to recover from shocks to the community, such as the recent pandemic. “We’re excited to see the community turn out to use our public facilities,” Oddonetto says. “These grants, including $250,000 from BHP to help fund the Community Center Pool Complex project, bring us so much closer to our goals for parks in the City, and when these upgrades are done, our community’s parks will be a place of pride for our residents.”

Globe Community Center pool project moves forward amid delays The refurbishment of the Community Center Pool has been a long time coming since the pool’s closure in 2014, as citizens of the Globe-Miami area waited for a dependable place to play and compete during Arizona’s long, hot summers. In 2019, with financial help from Freeport MacMoRan, the City executed an engineering study and found that for an estimated $850,000, the pool could be brought back into service for the foreseeable future. Plans were put in place and a budget set aside for 2020, but then the pandemic hit and everything stopped. “During the pause, we had time to reconsider the project and with community input decided to expand it to fit in with our vision for a first-rate park system in Globe,” Oddonetto says. “We approached several potential partners and reimagined possibilities for the facility.” The City sought to create a complex that would reflect its commitment to parks and recreation and a better quality of life for the people who live in the area and

residents the City hopes to attract in the future. The result was a $2.3 million overhaul of the pool, its grounds and facilities that will add a new dimension, and some much-needed relief from the heat. The new site footprint will be double the size of the old and will feature new decking and bathrooms, slides, an outdoor seating area, a grassy area for kids to play, shade awnings and a splash pad. The pool will be refurbished and heated and will have an open swimming area as well as lanes specifically set aside for lap swimming and a removable bulkhead for competitive swimming events. Thanks to funds from the American Recovery Plan Act (ARPA), as well as donations and grants from a variety of community partners, the project is well on its way to completion, despite the hardships of a post-pandemic world that has seen supply chain issues in every business sector and a nationwide material and labor shortage. Last December, the Cobre Valley Regional Medical Center announced it would dedicate $1.9 million to the Community Center Pool, funding that was dedicated by the hospital board to increase health and wellness opportunities for our community. Through its Community Investment Grant Program, Freeport McMoRan awarded the City $250,000; the United Fund of Globe-Miami awarded a $200,000 grant; Capstone contributed $100,000 and BHP provided a total of $250,000. The Gila County Board of Supervisors contributed $100,000 as well as about $60,000 in services hauling away concrete and debris from the site. For its part, the City will take on all pool staffing, operations, and maintenance responsibilities. City staff rolled out a preliminary $42.5 million budget in June, which includes full funding for pool operations, and should everything fall into place, the final budget will be adopted at council on July 26. The budget also includes additional maintenance funding for our Public Works Department allowing the City to uphold its commitments to investment partners and to the community we serve. “These gifts require maintenance and we’ve agreed to pay operation costs,” Oddonetto says. “Our partners from BHP to Gila County to the federal government are investing capital in our community, so we need additional people to take care of the things we’ve been given to maintain their value over time.” Quality of life investments are paramount to the City’s goals for the foreseeable future.

Housing development moves forward

by Thea Wilshire

In an area parched for new housing, Rayes Ridge appears like a cup of cold water. Adrea France and Josh Asanovich are third-generation locals, siblings, and Realtors. Four years ago, they also became partners in a large housing development project named Rayes Ridge. This venture plans to build new homes on a tract of land above the Globe Community Center. “This will be something we can all look forward to,” says France. She believes this is a prime time to invest in Globe-Miami. “After graduating from high school, I was eager to leave town and go to college. I married my husband who was in the military, finished college, and lived in various places prior to starting our family and settling back down in Arizona. I am grateful for the experiences I have had but now appreciate all of the benefits GlobeMiami has to offer and see everything through different eyes now. I love this town and everything it has to offer.” She sees opportunities all around her; from the real estate market to local business and community growth. The need for housing in the area has been a point of discussion among city leaders and stakeholders for decades and a recent housing study confirmed what everyone knew. There is not enough workforce housing. It has been cited as a hiring impediment for major employers and is seen as one of the most important ingredients in a successful regional economic development plan. Rayes Ridge homes will help meet this need. While a development of this size takes a lot of planning and time to get all necessary approvals to keep the project moving forward, France says they are hopeful. “We’re not one of the big, main builders in the region. We’ve never developed a property this raw into the subdivision we envision it to be, so we’re learning along t he way.” France started in real estate in 2000, working in mortgages and titles/escrow services before she became an agent in 2007. Smart Concept Realty Group is a family affair including Josh & Jami Asanovich, Shane Peck, Daniel Bartlett and Adrea’s husband, Justin France, who is in mortgage lending. As Realtors, they did their homework before purchasing Rayes Ridge. “The city of Globe has been extremely helpful from the beginning,” says France. “We met with them prior to purchasing the land to brainstorm ideas due to more housing being in everyone’s best interest. The current city council has been doing an amazing job in promoting new business and growth and we are grateful for their support and guidance.” They purchased the property from The Rayes family (Nick & Betty Rayes and children) who were the prior owners of this 30-acre piece of land. Nick had a dream of developing the ridge into a single-family home site and started working on it in 1956. He completed the land excavation and neighborhood plans soon after. France

and Asanovich have been working to ensure the 85-90 single-family dwelling home subdivision becomes a reality and have named the community “Rayes Ridge” in the family’s honor. Talmage Hansen, the owner of TallyHo Engineering, has been instrumental in designing the plat map and working with the city to ensure all requirements are met. “The land that was previously developed has eroded over the years but we were able to use the existing topography to develop our new plan which takes advantage of the elevation changes and natural drainage. When compared with Nick’s plan from ‘50s, it was remarkably similar,” says France. The location of Rayes Ridge takes advantage of the mountains and hills which are a draw to future homeowners but also provides unique challenges in regards to water runoff and lot retention needs that aren’t required when developing on flat land. France and Asanovich have invested several years of work into Rayes Ridge and are happy with the progress that has been made. The City of Globe has annexed the land, engineering and infrastructure studies have been done, and the preliminary plans have been completed. “We finally have a preliminary plat map with a list of items we need to take care of before we go back to P&Z [Planning and Zoning] and then to the City Council for final approval. We need to keep chipping away at the list,” explained France. One of the items on the list is a traffic study. Currently, the development has its primary entrance off Ice House Canyon and a secondary access point behind Trinity Baptist Church off Hagan Road. “We know

this is something residents are looking at and we’re taking this seriously,” says France. As France and Asanovich move their development through the process of planning and permitting, they are active in real estate purchases, sales and development in the Globe-Miami area. “We’ve been really busy in Globe-Miami area for the last six to seven years,” says France. She loves representing homes in GlobeMiami, where, she points to the diverse and unique qualities of homes here. She sees more properties becoming available as the market heats up and people are recognizing the cost of holding on to family homes that are long vacant. Even if you

don’t have a mortgage, there are expenses to maintaining a vacant property and for some, that often leads to selling in order to take advantage of the market and cash out vs. continuing to invest in the home. With the average cost per square foot increasing in the last two years, now is a good time to sell, France says. She sees a lot of new people who’ve moved to Globe-Miami from other communities in Arizona, as well as all across the country. New residents bring fresh energy and enthusiasm, she says. “There’s been a lot of exciting things happening in Globe-Miami and we are happy to be a part of it, “ she says. u

Car show coming to Miami in September by David Abbott

The Town of Miami is revving up for a car show this September, and downtown will be lively with music, food, and activities – culminating in a show that will whet everyone’s appetite for Miami’s Second Saturdays to follow. “We just figured it’s about time to bring another car show back to the Globe-Miami area,” says Miami Councilman Michael Sosh. “We’ll have music, street merchants, and great food trucks, so nobody will go away hungry.” Sosh, a lifelong Miami resident, born and raised, is leading the effort for the Town, along with newcomer Phil Stewart, who opened an antiques shop last year that specializes in refurbished classic radios. Sosh wants to resurrect car shows in Miami, a tradition he says goes back to the days when local car aficionados would pile into their hot rods and head to Globe for street cruising. In 1991 or ’92, Sosh joined the Golden Oldies car club and was “bit by the bug.” He says car shows back then were more like informal social gatherings. “Back then, there were a whole lot of cool cars. I just don’t think we had car shows,” he says. “They had get-togethers and cruises. My memory of that is probably since ’72. That’s when I got my first vehicle and went to cruise the streets of Globe.” His current pride and joy is a 1972 Chevy pickup that’s been in his family since it was hot off the showroom floor. For about four years, the Angel Perez Wings of Hope Show ’N Shine was an annual fixture in Miami, raising money for scholarships through the Pinal Mountain Foundation for Higher Education and suicide prevention awareness. But after the pandemic, the show moved to Globe.

Other than that, Sosh says it’s been at least seven years since there was a car show in his hometown. Show to run Friday evening and all day Saturday The festivities will begin Friday, Sept. 9, with a “burger burn” from 5 to 7 p.m. at Miami Veterans Park. The burger burn will feature hamburgers, hot dogs, and all the fixin’s, provided by the Miami Senior Center, for anyone entered in the show. In addition to food, paid participants will receive a commemorative t-shirt, dashboard plaque, and a goody bag. The car show begins Saturday morning at 8 a.m. and runs until 2 p.m., taking over Sullivan Street in Miami with plenty of music, food vendors, and art displays throughout downtown. Merchants will throw open their businesses so visitors can get a taste of what Miami has to offer. The Miami Senior Center will host a pancake breakfast beginning at 8:30 a.m. to get everyone charged for a day of activities. One of the feature events of the weekend will be a “poker walk” for women. Participants will get a wristband qualifying them for discounts in shops throughout downtown. At the shops, players will pick up cards and try to put together a winning hand. “We’re going to make it for the ladies only,” Sosh says. “If they buy something, they can get a card. It’s going to be a lot of fun.” Live music will be performed by Doc Fletcher at Veterans Memorial Park, in addition to oldies and a mix of music from Dacite Audio of Miami, which will provide a DJ. There will also be a 50/50 raffle, plenty of door prizes, and a popup bar at Miami Mercantile, featuring tours of the former 1917 YMCA building. The iconic building, located at 155 Miami Ave., has been refurbished into a performance and event venue. Throughout the day, a shuttle will run every hour to take attendees to the Bullion Plaza Museum to experience Miami’s past and its place in the mining history of Arizona. An awards ceremony is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. to recognize the best entrants in at least 20 different categories.

Proceeds to benefit civics education Phil Stewart and his wife, Katie, opened their antiques shop in August 2021 and recently sold their home in Mesa to move to the Copper Corridor. “I’m the new kid in town,” Stewart says. “We survived the fire, survived the mud, survived all that. We mucked it all out and have been hooked ever since.” He says he volunteered for the car show to help get better integrated into the community and to help Miami High School kids learn about civics. Proceeds from the show will go to help Miami High students attend the annual Arizona Cities and Towns Conference in 2023. “The big driver here is to help these kids who are interested in civics excel,” Stewart says. “That’s where the next generation of town leadership is going to come from, so we need to foster that and make sure they have a great understanding of government civics.” He’s putting energy into the event, but says he will probably not enter “Bluebell” – the couple’s 1963 Ford Falcon – or “the Moose,” a 1953 Chevy two-ton farm truck, into the competition. He prefers to leave space for more entrants.

Students encouraged to enter Sosh is encouraging students to enter with whatever vehicle they drive. “I don’t care if it’s got a gun rack on the back end or it’s a big old four-wheel-drive that doesn’t have any paint,” he says. “If a student drives it, bring it. We want to get the students involved.” The show is open to classic cars, trucks, and motorcycles. The entry fee and the fee for vendor space or a sponsorship are all the same, at $30. Entry fees include the t-shirt, dash plaque, goody bag, and burger burn. To enter, contact Sosh at (928) 200-0909, or email mcsosh@yahoo.com. Information is available on the Town of Miami website, at miamiaz.gov/events/ and at the event Facebook page at www.facebook.com/ Miami-AZ-Car-Show. The show has a lot of community support, including sponsorships from Capstone Mining, Source One, the Town of Miami, Stewart’s Antique Nook, Michael and Patti Sosh, Miami Mercantile, Dave’s Fast Stop, Micah Gaudet, Allstate in Safford, Trophies and Tees in Safford, BHP Mining, Resolution Copper, and Dominion Firearms. Sosh also recognized contributions of the Miami High School band, choir, and students, as well as Angel Medina. Sosh hopes to make the car show an annual event. At the very least, it gives the Town of Miami a chance to strut its stuff. “For newcomers that come up, it gives us a chance to sell the town. There’s a lot to be seen here,” Sosh says. “Just to show the diversity, we’ve got retail, we’ve got restaurants, we’ve got diverse manufacturing, anything from growing some wacky tabacky, to banjos that get shipped all over the world.” u

MIAMI HIGH SCHOOL AT NATIONAL CLOSE UP CONFERENCE Left to right – Back row: William Price, Jeffrey Sanders, Dennis Davis, Josephine Klindt | Middle row: AnnMary Terrence, Kaycee Valencia, Olivia Romney, Brynnleigh Dickison, Eric Troglia | Front row: Jasmine Flores and Rhiannon Oldfield

Vandals Descend on Washington, DC

June saw a dozen Miami High School students visiting our nation’s capital for two different events. Unlike the original Vandals’ visit to Rome in 455 AD, the students all had a wonderful time and left the capital in good form. Ten Miami students attended the Close Up Foundation program to meet people and tour the institutions at the heart of our national government. Designed to empower citizens to participate actively in our democracy, the students visited all the major memorials, the Smithsonian Institution, and Capitol Hill. They completed workshops applying what they learned to contemporary political issues, something particularly timely as the Supreme Court reversed Roe v. Wade during the program, so students witnessed a major political development and the protests it engendered. The trip was entirely free thanks to the generosity of the Arizona Cardinals and owner Michael Bidwell, who covered the costs and even flew the kids to DC in the Cardinals’ private jet. Emma White and Serenity Verdugo placed in statewide competitions for Educators Rising, the national organization for students interested in becoming teachers. Emma and Serenity competed against students from across the country, with breakout sessions to discuss current isses in education and to help them prepare for college. Emma delivered a speech about why she wants to be a teacher in the EdRising Moment contest. Serenity competed in the Lesson Plan and Delivery: Humanities category, and placed in the top ten nationwide.

BY DEBORAH DOVE For many of us, summer means soaking up the sun, whether sunbathing by the pool or on vacation at the beach, enjoying outside activities such as floating down the Lower Salt River, fishing on Seneca Lake, or hiking and bicycling outdoors. But however enjoyable those activities are, your skin pays the ultimate price for summer fun, particularly if you aren’t diligent about using sunscreen. The sun’s UVA rays are responsible for premature aging, while its UVB rays cause sunburns. Both forms of UV rays also damage your skin cell DNA. This is even truer for fair-skinned people, a whopping 40 to 50 percent of whom will develop skin cancer by the age of sixty-five. This rate is likely higher in Arizona due to a multitude of factors, including higher elevation, being closer to the equator, and a warm climate much of the year. While skin cancer is America’s most common cancer with over 5 million cases diagnosed each year, luckily, skin cancers are also one of the most preventable and treatable cancers. Even melanoma, the most invasive skin cancer with the highest risk of death, is highly curable if caught early, but prevention and early treatment are critical. Sun exposure can also prematurely age the skin, causing wrinkles, age spots, and actinic keratosis (AK), a rough, scaly patch that appears on the skin due to extended sun exposure. In fact, much of what we think of as natural aging is, in fact, due to sun exposure (it’s estimated that 90 percent of skin aging is due to the effects of the sun). However, that means it can be avoided—and it’s never too late to start. Following are steps you can take today to protect your skin from the sun’s harmful rays: • Don’t intentionally sunbathe or use tanning beds. • Always wear sunscreen when going outdoors. Choose a product with a sun protection factor (SPF) of 30. The hands, face, and neck are particularly vulnerable to sun damage since they’re exposed most often. • Wear a hat with a brim to protect the face when out in the sun. • Avoid the sun between 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m., when ultraviolet rays are the strongest and most damaging. • See a dermatologist for an annual checkup to catch precancerous spots early. • Thoroughly examine your own skin monthly at home to detect early changes in your skin. Schedule a visit with your dermatologist immediately if a mole or patch of skin has changed in color, size, or shape or you experience symptoms such as itchiness, bleeding, or scaliness. Similarly, get any new bumps, lesions, and moles checked out to be safe. What if your skin is already damaged from those teen years, or a life lived working in the sun? At Cobre Valley Regional Medical Center Skin Care Clinic and Medical Aesthetic Center, we offer comprehensive diagnosis and treatment of skinrelated problems. We offer screening for skin cancers and provide both surgical and cosmetic services to address skin cancers and skin repair. Contact us to schedule an appointment. We are often able to offer same-day appointments. Open 1pm - 5pm Monday,Tuesday,Wednesday and Friday.

Welcome to the Stairizona Trail

By Thea Wilshire

Have you discovered the Stairzona Trail, Globe-Miami’s newest recreation resource? Recently, Globe residents and visitors have temporarily lost access to trails in the national forest and the Old Dominion Historic Mining Park. To compensate, volunteers with the local public art initiative I Art Globe proposed a creative solution: an art-filled urban trail good for the body and the soul. Several routes were discussed, and finally the organizers landed on a unique alternative: a trail featuring the hidden, historic concrete staircases scattered throughout the neighborhoods surrounding Globe’s downtown. Many longtime residents have been amazed to learn of the existence of these staircases, some located only half a block from their own homes. Other residents have been asking for maintenance of these historic stairs for decades and felt these were untapped community gem. The staircases were built in the mid-1930s by federal Works Progress Administration (WPA) workers. They formalized routes that historians think residents first created as shortcuts for getting around town. The Stairizona Trail includes these staircases, as well as sidewalks and huge retaining walls created by WPA workers. The WPA stamp can be seen everywhere once a person knows to look for it. President Franklin Roosevelt created the WPA to combat the joblessness and despair of the Great Depression. Employing 8.5 million workers, the WPA focused primarily on the construction of roads, parks, schools, and public buildings. Globe was a base for a large WPA crew who created many public safety and recreation features in the Globe-Miami area, in the Tonto National Forest - including the CCC camp and the Kellner Canyon Picnic Area - and even Besh ba Gowah. Highlighting the history of the WPA in Globe is a secondary benefit to creating this outdoor walking route for the community. Borrowing a name Dezi Baker coined a decade ago, the Stairizona Trail was proposed, and Regina Ortega stepped in as the champion overseeing the project. The proposed route is designed around the historic staircases, a pedestrian bridge, and art. I Art Globe committee members selected a theme of flora and fauna that will unify all the trail art. Community members were asked for input, and people loved the initial concept. They pushed to include other staircases and another footbridge not part of the original design. In response, both a 1.5-mile and a 2.5-mile route were designed. Then additional residents asked for inclusion of the stairs and bridge near the “G” and also wanted to include the historic cemetery, so a third route was mapped. With the routes roughed out, I Art Globe began fundraising, with plans to install art along the route one piece at a time. Since

the City intends to build a playground, skate park, and parking lot on the site of the former Pascoe Livery on Broad Street, this site made the most sense for a future trailhead, so the art started here. Freeport McMoRan jump-started the project with a $10,000 grant to begin three art projects on the first staircase - an 82step monster now named the Pascoe Stairs. Brandt Woods painted a cascading poppy design, where each step has the number of flowers corresponding to its location, resulting in more than 3,400 flowers in this mural. Local artist Rob Portero completed the Gila monster and poppy mural at the top of the stairs, and another local artist, Jim Ohl, started a creative lighting project, which unfortunately was derailed due to the historic nature of the site. Next, BHP awarded $50,000 to continue adding art along the trail. Artistic benches have been ordered (including one with a Chinese design to honor the former location of Chinatown), and artist Katie Stewart was hired to create a quail-themed mosaic on the Yuma staircase. The BHP grant will also fund murals on the Sutherland wall (leading to the footbridge), Sutherland Stairs, East Street Stairs, Sycamore Street wall (between the East and High staircases), and High Street Stairs.

Globe Mayor Al Gameros has adopted the Sutherland pedestrian bridge. Gameros has also invested $1,000 from an Arizona Creative Communities Initiative grant to purchase copper paint to repaint the bridge. Currently I Art Globe is awaiting approval of designs submitted to the City of Globe for three additional painting projects - one of which will be completed

by community volunteers if approved. The Sycamore Street wall mural is scheduled to be finished in July by Averian Chee, who will paint an impressionistic landscape on this massive wall. Keep your eye on the Stairizona Trail as new art arrives over the coming year. And please volunteer if you can, to help create more beauty!

Floyd Krank near the wash. The bridge is the Abiquiu bridge, which will be stabilized during the process.

SIX SHOOTER, Continued from page 1 But residents along Six Shooter Canyon Road are frustrated with the part of the plan that will remove several more large trees along the banks that they say will “denude” the area, reducing the value of their homes and making the properties unlivable. Dickison Drive parallels Six Shooter Canyon Road between E Abiquiu Trail and Thetford, a private road that was the location of what neighbors say was an illegal bridge that may have exacerbated some of last year’s flooding. The bridge was removed after the floods, and now the County is preparing to clear out vegetation and stabilize the sides of the wash with concrete. While the County has said it will not remove trees from private property through eminent domain, there are areas where it already has easements. Dickison is a small access road for a handful of properties, and is one of those places controlled by the County. At the June 7 meeting, Krank took the opportunity to address county representatives directly. “They’re talking about repairing some road washouts that took place in our area five years ago when I brought it to the county’s attention about an illegal bridge that was downstream from my property,” he told the gathered officials. “What they’re

proposing right now in our area is removing a tremendous amount of the trees up Six Shooter Canyon.” He added that as yet, no one from the County has gone to the property despite multiple requests. Krank says he had five feet of water and debris during the big flood, but in subsequent floods last year, once the bridge was removed, it did not happen again. Dickison Drive is a short, tree-lined lane on Six Shooter Canyon Road between the Gila Pueblo campus of Eastern Arizona College and Besh Ba Gowah Archeological Park. The larger cottonwoods there are decades, if not hundreds of years old. “I have heartburn about it,” says Ira Dickison, whose family has owned property there since 1964 and gave the county and easement in order to build the access road. Dickison is concerned that once the trees are gone, the value of his property will go down significantly, a feeling shared by several of his neighbors. At a June 29 public forum the County hosted to provide details of the project, eight-year Dickison Drive resident Margo Flores voiced her displeasure via phone to Humphrey and county administration. She said her property has gained at least $100,000 in value since she purchased it, but the value is in jeopardy because of the plan.

For a description of the Six Shooter Canyon NRCS Emergency Watershed Protection (EWP) Project, go to www.globemiamitimes.com, where we have posted a document from J.E. Fuller about the project. From bank stabilization and bridge upgrades to tree removal, the document describes what the County intends to accomplish with the work and the justifications for doing it.

“The only reason I bought this property is because of the seclusion, because of the foliage,” she said. “My huge concern is, if you take away all the natural greenery and what attracts us to these places in the first place it’s going to reduce the value on my property and I’m not happy about it.” Flores, like others, believe they have not been consulted in a meaningful way about what is going to happen. The project is being designed and will be completed by J.E. Fuller, a hydrology and geomorphology engineering firm that operates all over the state. According to Joe Loverich, who represented the company at the June 29 presentation, the trees must be removed to allow the County to stabilize the sides of the creek with riprap—strategically placed rocks that help create a foundation—and shotcrete, a “blown slurry” that will cover the banks with added steel mesh for stability. Several bridges along the creek will also be shored up in order to handle more water and debris. Loverich says clearing the wash is not necessarily to increase capacity, but to help avoid future “scour,” or erosion. “We love our riparian areas, because there’s not a lot of them,” he explained. “We’re trying to limit our impact to the trees,

but in certain areas, some of the trees have to come down to put this in.” He added that the county will not exercise eminent domain and take property it does not own, but since the county has an easement on Dickison, it can move forward with the work there. From the county’s perspective, trees are important but protecting lives and property is the priority. Recently retired Gila County Assistant Manager Homero Vela weighed in on the project just days before his retirement. “We have to decide what we want to do: protect trees? Or do we want to protect life?” he said. “Our decision is basically that we want to save lives. ... But when the trees get in the way of saving lives, we’ve got an easy, quick answer for you.” The project still needs to get federal permits, but plans are nearly complete for work to begin this fall. Toward the end of the June 29 meeting, Krank hinted that the issue is far from over in his eyes. “If this thing gets tied up in litigation, you will have to prove that it increased the flows below for the purpose of making it better,” he said. “And you won’t be able to do it.” u

In these days when the Miami district is coming so rapidly to the front as a great copper-producing section, and when the amount of building being done there gives promise of a large and growing population for the region within the next few months, the development of every mine in the district is watched with great interest by people connected with mining in the territory, and by everyone who is endeavoring to promote Arizona’s rise to a position second to none among the states.

LAKE LIFE, Continued from page 1

Rambo has worked the Roosevelt Lake real estate market for 42 years. She says demand is definitely high now, but there are “fewer listings than ever.” The age and individuality of the properties makes them difficult to price and compare. “We try not to get too crazy with our prices,” Margaret says. “We don’t see bidding wars like in the Valley and some parts of the country.” Californians are coming to Arizona – including retirees and younger people working remotely – and driving real estate prices up. But they’re mostly moving to Scottsdale, Pinetop, Show Low, and Strawberry Basin. “People have always come from out of state for the fishing, the trails and the open state, but we don’t have the services that people from out of state want,” Margaret explains. “What I see is the Arizonans moving out of the city and coming here…trying to escape the growing crowds.” Land with the flexibility to park an RV fetches the highest price, according to Rambo, and the latest trend is the “barndominium” – a big metal garage for the boat, RV, side-byside, and jet skis. Some are built with a one- or two-bedroom apartment inside.

Get Away from Development Location, location, location. How far is the land from where you can launch onto the lake, in minutes or miles? For most out-of-state clients, that’s the big question. “There is no private land on the lake,” Margaret says. “That’s by design.” Roosevelt Lake lies within the Tonto National Forest, and facilities located near the lake are managed by that authority. “You can’t build homes there,” Kim Turk says. “There’s little for sale, and no slips available for rent at the marina. There’s a waiting list.”

Lakeview Park – a community as close to the lake as you can get – has 185 rental spaces. Its convenient location, near the center of the lake’s southern shore, provides easy access to Tonto National Monument and the Apache Trail Scenic Byway. The RV park sits on land leased from the Tonto National Forest. Originally built in the early 1970s, it comprises 174 manufactured homes and 11 RV spaces. People own their homes but rent the space. “The early single-wides just keep getting remodeled because they’re too old to move,” Rambo says. Counties have restrictions about moving models older than 1977, the year HUD began standardized inspections. “People are spending a lot of money renovating trailers,” Kim says. “Some of them are just stunning. They don’t even look like mobile homes.” As the owner of a large home in Tucson, Kim never thought she would want a vacation home. “I want to travel all over the place,” she says. Turk moved to Arizona in 1985. A California kid, she missed the ocean and enjoyed going to Roosevelt Lake, the closest body of water. At 30, she started a coffee business, and then she had a son; there was little time for lake life. Decades later, as the pandemic took hold, with the business winding down and her son grown up, Turk returned to Roosevelt Lake and stayed in a friend’s trailer at Lakeview Park. “I just fell in love with it,” she says. “I love being here.” The first trailer that came up for sale was a one-bedroom with a covered patio – perfect for Kim and her dogs, but too small to accommodate friends. When a three-bedroom, twobath home came up for sale, she jumped at the opportunity. Her smaller trailer sold quickly, too. “It’s an investment, but not such a huge one,” Kim says. “ I can button it up and have it sit here.” Margaret Rambo and her husband have lived in the Tonto Basin since 1978. They bought their first lot at the northern end of Roosevelt Lake in 1973, on the other side of the creek. “No one promised us a bridge,” Margaret says. Nearly 50 years later, bridge construction is expected to begin this fall.

LAKE LIFE, Continued from page 18

Get into the Water Down on the marina, million-dollar houseboats bob alongside humble fishing boats. Roosevelt Lake is home to bass-fishing tournaments that draw fishermen from all over the state. In addition to largemouth and smallmouth bass, fisherman sport channel catfish, flathead catfish, bluegill, crappie, and carp. One college graduate in his mid-thirties started winning tournaments, so he quit his job and, with prize money, bought an RV. “It’s a relaxing atmosphere,” Kim says. “There are a lot of kids and teenagers here.” Polly Mayfield began coming to Roosevelt Lake and Lakeview Park as a child. Her father drove a pontoon boat and grilled hot dogs on board. Today, Mayfield is a forensic scientist, and her husband, Elliott, a firefighter for the City of Tucson. They make the trip to Roosevelt Lake with their daughters, Cali, 13, and Ollie, 5, as often as their schedules permit. “On Thursday we grocery shop and clean the house, and on Fridays after school we head up here,” Polly says. “I’d rather be here,” Cali says. “Wakesurfing is my sport.” Cali Nance began wake surfing at age nine. She now practices year round; last October she entered her first competition and came in second. Surfers compete buoy to buoy, earning points. Judges reward variety, intensity, difficulty, and execution. In contrast to wake boarders, surfers aren’t strapped to their 4’ 2” boards. Elliott drives the boat, and he loves doing it. He turns serious about boat safety as the lake enters peak season. With more traffic from residents and tourists, you have to expect some of them to have less experience or rusty skills. “It’s so busy,” Elliott says. “Once there are a lot of people, you should make etiquette a priority.” There have been six deaths at Lake Pleasant this spring, motivating more Phoenix-area folks to make the drive to Roosevelt Lake. “I have jet skis, and my son loves them and he brings his friends up,” Kim Turk says. “You have to be careful.” But among the lake’s denizens, there’s a feeling of care

and consideration. When big storms come in, Elliott Mayfield says, people look out for each other. Those capable head to the marina and help get the vulnerable boats out. Elliott had never been to the lake before he met Polly. Happily, he loves the lifestyle and the commitment it requires. When Polly’s father died unexpectedly and her mother was ready to sell their mobile home, Polly and Elliott stepped up to buy it. For Polly, it’s filled with childhood memories of Roosevelt Lake. “We’re going to work on it together, slowly but surely,” Elliott says. They’ve painted the cabinets, redone the floor, and bought new furniture. On the outside, the house has fresh paint, new windows, new skirting, and a spruced-up front porch. Elliott took the pontoon to the fire station and, with help from his friends, rebuilt the boat. When it was complete, they celebrated by grilling hot dogs for everyone. Many members of the Lakeview Park community

coordinate to celebrate birthdays and holidays. They have dinner at each other’s places and cook their own food down at the dock. Everyone looks out for each other’s kids. “When people are here, everyone’s on vacation. So you’re kind of in a good mood,” Kim says. Everyone has something to offer: Fishing boats. Surfing boats. Paddleboards. Over the summer, the part-time neighbors meet up in a cove and tie their boats together. The kids swim. People wave. “No one is on their phone,” Polly Mayfield says with a smile. “The service is terrible up here.” No one seems to mind. There’s wifi at the marina. “The world is smaller,” Elliott says. Cali celebrated her thirteenth birthday with two friends from home – and all of the family’s lake friends. They held a big BBQ block party, complete with cake and piñata. “Not everyone is able to do what we do,” Elliott says. “It’s nice to be able to do this for our kids and keep them close.” u
