t age 33, Carrie “CC” Curley left life on the reservation with her spray paint, brushes, and Xacto knife, intent to bring light to community struggles.

“You don’t know what is next, but your spirit is telling you it’s time to move on,” CC muses.

“The Creator has opened a door, and who would have guessed it would be to Phoenix?”

A year later, Curley has adapted to the fast-paced city life and has many “beautiful projects” that keep her busy. In addition to mural work, she’s been traveling with her “creative resistance” team, creating banners for climate justice week, and participating via Zoom to support a community garden on the reservation.

“Art can tap into something… it can stop you in a moment and make you feel something…”

The changing face of downtown Miami

by David Abbott

The business atmosphere in Miami is getting sweeter by the day, as two new shops have opened that will satisfy a sweet tooth, or the lunch urges, of residents and visitors alike.

Both Sweet Memories and the Lyric Soda Fountain offer an array of locally made sweets, ice cream, coffee and other menu items and are making tasty inroads into the community. And both businesses are locally owned by people steeped in the community.

For those seeking freshly baked treats, or just a place to sit and browse the internet with a hot cup of coffee, Sweet Memories has set up shop on Sullivan Street in the building that once housed Mitzi’s Tax Service.

The shop is owned by Miami native Lisa Zaragosa, who also owns My Mom’s House Dzynes, operating out of the house where she grew up in Miami.

The new endeavor is a project Zaragosa has dreamed of for quite some time and with the help of her daughters, Desirea, Dionna, and Denise, the dream has finally come true.

PUBLISHER’S NOTE

Publisher Linda Gross

Fall is my favorite season, and October did not disappoint. The leaves turned a gorgeous array of colors, the temperatures turned the right amount of nippy, and community events seemed to bring out the best of our small-town community vibe (see pp. 12-14).

This month we bring you a feature on San Carlos artist Carrie “CC” Curley, who we first covered nearly ten years ago when she did her first showing at Vida e Caffe. At the time, Jen Walker wrote: “Like any artist’s tool, Curley’s brush is her voice box” (Jan. 22, 2015, “The Warrior in the Woman”).

Self-taught and grounded in her San Carlos community, CC was recently selected as one of four to receive a Mayor’s Arts Award. As her canvases have gotten larger and her audience broader, her voice remains strong through the work she does (see p. 1).

We’re also happy to bring you news of two new businesses in downtown Miami that are drawing traffic and creating a space to linger with friends and family over food. The Lyric Soda Fountain and Sweet Memories both offer a hometown atmosphere and an array of choices, from sweets to sandwiches (see p. 1).

The Globe-Miami Community Concert Series also started this month, with their next concert scheduled for December 7. This is the 68th season for GMCCA, and they continue to bring “big time” talent to our community. Tickets are just $50 for the full season, which runs through March (see p. 5).

Whether you take the opportunity to enjoy some of Globe-Miami’s fall arts events, or just linger over a cinnamon roll at a local shop, here’s wishing you an autumn full of hometown pleasures.

OPINION

Make a Little Change

ong ago, a man named Diderot lived in Paris. Diderot was a middle-aged man and had lived all his life in poverty, working as a writer and philosopher.

But one day, Diderot came into money unexpectedly.

All of a sudden, he had six figures in the bank and a generous annual income.

The first thing he did was to pay for his daughter’s wedding.

The second thing he did was replace his old, threadbare bathrobe with a beautiful new one – in bright red.

Diderot loved his new robe. It was elegant and luxurious. And as he wore it around his apartment, he noticed how out of place it looked amid his old, cheap possessions. The gorgeous robe made everything else look dingy.

So one by one, Diderot replaced almost every item in his home. He bought a new Turkish rug to replace his old, dirty one. He replaced his kitchen table with a new, better one, and he threw out his old reading chair and put a leather one in its place.

Amid all this upgrading, Diderot also added new things to his home, too – a mirror for over the mantel, and art and decorations.

One purchase led to the next, and before long Diderot’s home was completely transformed.

This pattern is called the Diderot Effect, and it’s well known to behavioral psychologists. (I came across the story in Atomic Habits, the popular book by James Clear all about using psychological hacks to improve your daily behaviors. It’s worth reading if you’re trying to kick bad habits or adopt new, good ones.)

The Diderot Effect is when you buy a new couch and then you decide you have to get new carpet and lamps, too. Or you get a new dress and now you need new shoes and new earrings to match.

But it applies to more than shopping. One action often leads to another – like when you clean a spot on the wall and now you realize you have to wash the whole wall.

For me, the Diderot Effect happened recently when I got my nails done for the first time in my life.

I’d always been perfectly happy with my short, natural nails. I garden and work outdoors a lot, and had never felt artificial nails would be practical. But recently, on vacation, I gave them a try.

And like Diderot with his red robe, I loved them. They looked so pretty and neat. Now I’m enjoying trying new colors and lengths.

Also like Diderot, one thing has led to another. Having nice-looking nails made me aware how much I had been neglecting other aspects of my appearance. My unkempt hair and hasty makeup suddenly looked awkward. Cue an appointment with the hairdresser and a trip to the drugstore for skincare products.

My point, though, isn’t about consumerism or vanity.

It’s about how one small change can lead to other small changes, that then ripple out and can lead to larger changes – even transformation.

I moved my turntable to a place where it’s more accessible and easier to use, and now I’m listening to music all the time.

I read one book by an author I’d never heard of, and now I love her and am reading all her books.

A few marigold seeds that I planted in the spring grew into plants that made more seeds – and now marigolds are springing up all over the garden.

One little change, one new action, one small experiment can lead to another thing and another thing.

Of course, you have to be careful – because there’s the Broken Window Theory, too. The name comes from the fact that when property owners don’t keep up their maintenance, buildings and even whole neighborhoods can deteriorate fast.

When people notice a broken window, they’re much more likely to leave trash around, vandalize the building, and even break more windows – because no one seems to care.

The Broken Window Theory can apply to workplace cultures, relationships, and personal choices, too.

When one problem goes unfixed, even a small one,

it can demoralize people and cause them to lower their standards.

Then people start to break rules, behave badly, and treat each other – or themselves – disrespectfully, because it doesn’t seem to matter.

It all starts with one broken window – one small issue that goes unaddressed.

People say don’t sweat the small stuff – but what they mean is, keep things in perspective. The truth is, small stuff is always part of, or connected to, big stuff. When you sweat the small stuff, the big stuff follows.

So if you want to make a big change in your life, or in your relationship, your career, your community, or your home – don’t. Just make one little change.

Then let that little thing be the start of something new.

Plant a seed.

Rearrange your living room.

Get your nails done.

Go for a walk.

Say hello to a new person.

Or just get yourself a beautiful new bathrobe.

And watch what might happen next.

Community Concert series gets late start, but features powerful lineup

By David Abbott

The Globe Miami Community Concert Association (GMCCA) season is underway, with the second of six-performances taking place on December 7 when the Diamonds take the stage for a holiday show that will include music from the 1950s and beyond.

The remainder of the series, which concludes on March 6 with the eclectic sounds of classical trio Take3, features a wide range of musical styles that will appeal to music fans of all ages.

“We don’t have any low points this year: They’re all good,” says GMCCA President Sue Jones. “It’s going to be quite a season and I think our audience is going to be really, really excited.”

In addition to the Diamonds and Take3, this year’s season will also feature Jason Lyle Black on piano; American Made: The Presidio Boys, and returning favorites Clara Hurtado Lee, Isaac Hurtado and Jeffrey Price.

This is the 68th season for GMCCA, an organization that seeks to bring live music to a remote region of the state that would not normally have access to nationally recognized talent.

The GMCCA began in 1945 and operated through 1971, when the organization entered into eight years’ of inertia. In 1979, there was sufficient interest to reanimate the series with a four-concert season in 1980-1981.

The music continued uninterrupted until a brief COVID-related pause torpedoed two seasons, and began again last year. The Community Concert Series now enters its second return season with a full head of steam and amazing talent.

The quality of acts GMCCA reflects on the work and dedication of the 20-member board, with the help of an investment by the United Fund of Globe-Miami and generous donations from businesses and individuals across the community.

The community concert concept began with the founding of the National Community Concert Association in Chicago in 1920, and by 1950 there were more than 1,000 member organizations nationally.

THE LINEUP The Diamonds – Thursday, December 7, 2023 (the REAL Diamonds whose gold records include Silhouettes, The Stroll, and Little Darlin’) Jason Lyle Black – Thursday, January 11, 2024 (a lighthearted, fast-paced journey through numerous piano styles) American Made: The Presidio Boys – Saturday, February 3, 2024 (the music of the Oak Ridge Boys, Statler Brothers, and more) TAKE3 – Wednesday, March 6, 2024 (Rock meets Bach; pop hits, Americana, signature classical mashups) Clara Hurtado Lee, Isaac Hurtado, Jeffrey Price – Tuesday, April 9, 2024 (classically trained soprano, tenor, and pianist showcase a variety of styles)

Pianist Jason Lyle Black From its foundation through 2001, the NCCA helped recruit talent that fell within each association’s budget.

But after the dissolution of the national organization, individual associations were forced to find their own performers.

For several years, the talent search was offset in part by the existence of the Arizona Humanities Commission, which offered a roster of affordable performers. But that resource went away as well, so now in addition to keeping the GMCCA afloat, the organization’s board must research and find its own talent every year.

“I spend lots and lots of time on the computer,” Jones says. “I used to look at places in Phoenix, but finally figured out Tucson is a better place to look. But the sad and difficult thing is that since COVID, most performers have either doubled or tripled their prices, and it’s been scary for us.”

As an organization that depends in large part on member participation for its financial health—last season saw 343 members signing up, while this year there have been less than 250—GMCCA needs

the support of the community to continue.

In addition to providing quality entertainment to the public, the GMCCA also provides complimentary tickets and outreach to local schools and nursing homes.

While this year’s music skews toward the Baby Boom generation, Robin Wurst, board member and membership chairperson, says that in the future, they would like to add some World Music and other alternatives to the menu.

“Currently, most of our membership is probably over 50 although we would like to appeal to younger people and families,” Wurst says. “Although we do have a few young families who want their children to hear a variety of musical genres.”

The cost of membership for all remaining

concerts is $50 for adults; $10 for students; $100 for a two-parent family, and $60 for a single parent family.

Memberships include two guest passes to share with others as well as the opportunity to bring out-of-town guests to concerts for free.

All concerts take place at 7 p.m. at High Desert Middle School, 4000 High Desert Dr. in Globe.

City of Globe designing policies to make community more business friendly B

by David Abbott

usiness activity is creating a buzz in downtown Globe, as empty buildings fill with new businesses and the City plans for future growth with a solid economic core.

Changes have come as a result of the City Council’s vision sustained over the course of the past seven years, supported by a dedication to processes that encourage progress and create an equal playing field for entrepreneurs who want to set up shop in town.

To create a fair and safe business atmosphere, Globe has added personnel to map out the future through modern and sensible policies. These include an overhaul of the City’s permitting process and building and fire codes to help attract future investment into the community.

According to District 3 Councilman Jesse Leetham, municipal codes ensure the safety and health of the public by setting standards for construction, maintenance, and use of buildings and properties, and help maintain the aesthetic appeal of the community and increase property values.

“Our codes play a crucial role in business development and growth. They provide a clear framework for businesses to operate, ensuring that they meet certain standards and requirements,” says Leetham.

“This can help to prevent disputes and legal issues down the line. Furthermore, by maintaining the overall quality and appeal of a community, these codes can help to attract new businesses and investment.”

The results can increase business opportunities through renewed community energy and add foot traffic by leaving good impressions on visitors, which in turn increase business through tourism and added customer confidence. Municipal codes can also raise the community’s profile through historic preservation and lead to a “ripple effect” of neighbors cleaning up their surroundings to create a safer, more attractive community and help mitigate potential liabilities.

The work Globe City Council, administrators and employees have put in over the past several years has paid off, both in a robust economic environment and sizable investments in infrastructure

Dan Klocke, Senior Development Project Manager for Gorman, says that without the groundwork laid by the City through its focus on modernization, the Hillstreet “project might not have been possible. Photo by Melissa Steele that will pay dividends for future generations.

“It’s about safety, it’s about standards, it’s about bringing future development to the City and making Globe more enriched,” says Tony Manfredi, who was hired in 2022 as Globe’s Building Official and is charged with updating municipal codes and processes that are more than 20 years old in some cases.

“It’s really about how we’re fair across the board,” Manfredi says. “We are being business friendly and go out of our way to promote development and guide people through that system of opportunity.”

Nowhere is that dedication to modern standards more evident than in the Hill Street School senior housing project, located on the south side of Globe at the intersection of Hill and Ash streets.

The rehabilitation of the historic building at the entryway to historic downtown Globe is being performed by a Phoenix-based division of Gorman and Company LLC. The project will

feature 64 units of mixed-income, multifamily housing targeted to seniors and located within easy walking distance of businesses on Broad Street.

Dan Klocke, Senior Development Project Manager for Gorman, says that without the groundwork laid by the City through its focus on modernization, the project might not have been possible.

“Council is very focused, and they’re very, very willing to help, so it’s been a great process for us,” Klocke says.

“Globe is a really interesting town, from a pure historical arc, architectural, and overall feel of the town. It’s a wonderful place, and that’s what first attracted us to this building.”

But in order for Gorman to secure funding for the Hill Street School project, the City had to show it was capable of handling the project and long-term structural stability exists to support future development.

That process began with proper zoning and building codes to help

Gorman obtain permits in a timely manner. Klocke has been through the process many times and was impressed at how the City handled the details and worked with Gorman, and the public, to bring the project to fruition.

He thinks it bodes well for the future.

“I think success attracts more success,” Klocke says. “When they lay the groundwork for us to have success, it sends a very loud message to others who might be interested, which only attracts more investment in the community, which makes for a better long-term project for us and the community.”

In addition to large projects, the atmosphere in Globe has also attracted entrepreneurs on a smaller scale. That has been done partially by creating a business-friendly environment, but also by creating “incubators” such as First Fridays, which attract large crowds to Broad Street on a regular basis.

Anthony Puskaric is planning to open Gila Hogs BBQ sometime in the first quarter of 2024, but has served his food in the Globe area for a number of years from his food truck - based, for now, in Payson. He says he does a variety of events in the region as well as catering for local mines.

His first foray into the local market was at the grand opening of Waggin’ Vineyard and Estate, on the east side of town.

Puskaric is a Payson native who spent 16 years as an animal control officer for Gila County. He also operated a restaurant in Rye for about a year, but decided to relocate to Globe because of its potential and businessfriendly practices.

He says working with the City of Globe was “flawless,” the fees were reasonable, and the process was straightforward.

Puskaric cannot reveal the location of his restaurant yet; he’s still addressing some of the technical aspects of the business. Until it opens, he will continue to spread the word - and amazing barbecue - at First Fridays.

CITY OF GLOBE, Continued from page 6 “For years, I told myself I would never move to Globe because it wasn’t much to look at,” Puskaric says.

“It’s a lot nicer than it was five or ten years ago, and a lot of that comes down to people starting to maintain their storefronts, so it’s a much more attractive place to go. There’s a lot of history in downtown Globe to make it a tourist destination where people are going to want to come.”

Established downtown business owner Sarah Alexander, proprietor of the Pretty Kind boutique, comes from the perspective of a successful entrepreneur.

Her business partner, Erika Flores, herself operates a number of successful businesses, along with her husband, Johnny D Flores.

Alexander is also the local contact for Eastern Arizona College’s Small Business Development Center (SBDC), so she has a unique perspective on the current business climate in the place she was born and raised.

She says in the three years Pretty Kind Boutique has been in operation, she has had “zero” problems with the City. That’s

HISTORY

1927

On November 30, 1927, the Apache Trail – linking Phoenix to Roosevelt Lake – was opened to tourists. For more than 90 years, this historic stretch of road allowed people to travel from Mesa to Roosevelt Lake on a direct route, offering access to abundant recreation opportunities in central Gila County.

But the Apache Trail’s role in state history is much more significant than that. Built between 1903 and 1905, the 62-mile road was laid along an ancient Anasazi trade route and constructed mostly by Apache laborers. It first served as wagon-haul road for transporting workers, supplies and equipment from Mesa to the site of the future Roosevelt Dam. In that capacity, the Apache Trail formed a linchpin in Arizona’s history – assisting in the transformation of the Phoenix valley into a lush oasis where settlers could live in relative comfort and build farms, ranches, homes and businesses.

Today, much of the length of the Apache Trail – officially Arizona Route 88 – remains as it was in the early 20th century, mostly unpaved. Designated as an Arizona Historic Scenic Highway, it winds through scenic desert beauty, surrounded by opportunities for hiking, fishing and water sports, and serves as a gateway to the mysterious Superstition Mountains.

However, a five-mile stretch of the Apache Trail remains closed to motor traffic after severe flooding in 2019 caused extensive damage to the road, including a large rockslide in the area between Fish Creek Hill Overlook and milepost 227. The flooding followed six inches of rain falling on the burn scar of the Woodbury Fire, which had consumed nearly 124,000 acres of forest land the previous June.

misunderstandings on some of the details, and people working out of their homes sometimes balk at the need to formalize.

“At the end of the day, there’s a procedure. But there are rules for everything in life,” Alexander says. “If you look at the new businesses that have started, there has to be the foundation and something there that’s allowing for all this to happen.”

She adds that downtown beautification, and business owners taking responsibility for their storefronts, have created a climate conducive to growth.

The SBDC will host the Launch Your Globe-Miami Business Series in mid-January 2024. It runs for five weeks, and details can be found at www.eac.edu/sbdc.

District 6 Councilman Fernando Shipley has seen Globe’s evolution from both sides of the dais, serving as mayor from 2008 to 2012 and returning in 2018 to a very different City Council: one with a laser-like focus on its goal to create a stable long-term economy that can withstand the shocks of pandemic, fire,

floods and even mine closures.

One of the biggest changes Shipley has seen is the establishment of the Economic and Community Development Department and the consistency of Globe’s leadership, both in City Council and administration.

“We have become much more professional,” Shipley says. “One of the biggest improvements is that we have an economic development person who has the education [and] training. She has certifications, and she understands what people are looking for when they’re looking to invest money in our community.”

He adds that hiring professionals like Manfredi to drive policy has also brought huge benefits, especially with the upcoming General Plan (GP) update that will begin next year.

Arizona statute mandates a GP update every 10 years, with specific criteria related to population size in any given city.

The GP update gives citizens the opportunity to offer input into the process and express their vision for the future of the city.

Leetham says the GP update is a crucial process that gives “new residents a chance to modify old visions,” and will guide the city’s growth and development over a long-term period, covering aspects such as land use, housing, transportation, environmental quality and more.

“The GP is important, as it sets the vision and goals for the city, and outlines the policies and actions needed to achieve them,” Leetham says. “Citizens can participate in the process of the GP update in several ways. They can attend public meetings and workshops where they can voice their opinions and provide input.”

The public is invited to join the City of Globe in shaping the future by actively engaging in the GP update process, and adding their voices to what can be the driving force in creating a vibrant and thriving community. City officials want to work together with citizens to be the change the community wishes to see.

Miami High School teacher recruitment adds diversity to faculty

T

by David Abbott

he administrative stability that’s been established in the Miami Unified School District over the past decade has been enhanced by diverse hiring in the teachers ranks that is giving students a global perspective in their rural educational experience.

A wide range of voices from across the U.S. and the world are bringing various cultures to the classroom, giving Miami High School students important tools they can take into the workplace, and to their own lives, after they graduate.

Students are not only being exposed to different methods of teaching, but also to people they would not normally meet on the streets of Miami or Globe.

Lizelle “Liz” Mortola Barangot

Vice Principal and Athletic Director Paul Fine “We have teachers who were trained in the American education system, but we also have teachers from India or the Philippines, who prepared in their own systems,” says Vice Principal and Athletic Director Paul Fine. “Then there’s the personal side of things where our community and our students are exposed to individuals from different cultures: They’re shown how big the world really is, which is one reason I got into education, because I had all these life experiences and opportunities, and I felt that if I share those, I’m sharing the wealth. That’s what it’s all about.”

Fine himself is an example of that diversity. A New York native, the 37-year-old went to school in Maryland and has lived all over the world, from Moscow to Las Vegas, where he attended UNLV. He even had a teaching stint at an alternative school in San Diego.

Despite his relative youth, Fine has taught for 13 years and worked alongside both former MHS Principal Glen Lineberry and current Principal Shawn Pietila in the San Carlos Unified School District.

Pietila and Fine have developed a solid personal relationship that has only enhanced their professional dynamics, making them a formidable administrative team.

“Shawn’s been in administration for four years, but I’m new to it,” Fine says. “He makes it look so easy and he’s calm while he’s doing it.”

In addition to Fine and his worldly experience, MHS has recruited two teachers from the Philippines who are now entering their second academic years and have seen both sides of the transition from Lineberry to Pietila.

Lizelle “Liz” Mortola Barangot teaches English Language Arts and Drama to 10th and 12th graders, bringing more than 10 years’ teaching experience—

one-third of her life—in the Philippines, Nanyang Henan, China, and now in Arizona.

When Lineberry hired her prior to the 2022 academic year, Barangot was considering job offers in Phoenix and Florida, but is glad she opted for the MHS job instead.

“I love Miami High School. The school itself is really positive,” she says. “I feel like it’s a family: The school, the administration and the principal are like my backbone, and whatever I need they’re always there.”

Barangot says the only difficulty she’s run into is a lack of public transportation in the region, but she is learning to drive and her love for Miami makes the struggles worthwhile.

Neil Franco is also Filipino and is in his second year teaching English, Journalism and Coding to 11th graders.

Franco has been teaching for four years and is pursuing a doctorate degree in special education.

He says the transition into American classrooms has been a challenge, but that he is learning a lot from his experiences in Miami.

“It’s a different approach, different atmosphere and everything, but change is inevitable and I learn a lot every single day,” Franco says. “I was a fan of Mr. Lineberry, and I really like Shawn, who has a completely different approach. I also like the way that they so seamlessly changed over to the new administration.”

In addition to globe-trotting teachers, MHS has also tapped into the local population to round out and enhance programs that fit in with regional demands for talent.

Jimmy Crosby To that end, the MUSD has hired long-time Agricultural instructor and Future Farmers of America (FFA) Advisor Jimmy Crosby, who has taught for 15 years in six different school districts.

Crosby’s family has been in Arizona since the 1880s, his father was born in Greer in 1936, and he has a lifetime of experience running cattle, both in Arizona and in Texas.

He began his teaching career at Snowflake High School and has taught in Round Valley and Eager as well as a stint at an Oklahoma school.

But he returned to Globe so that his wife could be closer to her aging parents, teaching both in San Carlos and for a year in Globe High School. Just as Crosby was on the cusp of leaving the area, MHS reached out and asked him to build a successful program in Miami.

He feels like he has finally found a place to settle in for the long haul.

“You know how sometimes in life when you don’t get to make the decision you want, but you find out that you made a really good decision by not getting what you wanted?,” Crosby posits. “I feel like this is probably the best opportunity I’ve had as an ag teacher: I have really liked being here as much as anybody can like a teaching position.”

The MUSD has given him the go-ahead to build an on-campus facility and Crosby is now seeking donations to get the first phase of the project underway.

Crosby credits Fine and Pietila as well as “an assistant superintendent that is contagiously motivated” to make Miami a leading agricultural school in the state. He expects it will take about three years to build the program, but sees buy-in from both the school administration and students.

“I have students that want to learn here and I think that that’s directly related to the stability of the organization,” Crosby says. “That’s the culture they’ve consciously worked to build in the last 10 years and I think it’s paying dividends.”

Fine gives some credit to the sports backgrounds he shares with Pietila and the importance it has on creating a sense of community for the smooth transition. He also thinks that the first week of the school year—dubbed “Vandal Week”—offered a chance to mark MHS’s direction for the future.

“The beginning of the year was a big neon sign that said, ‘hey, things are different now’,” he says. “I think our students appreciated the level of connection and opportunities to build connections that were available to them through Vandal Week and I think it’s led to a little bit of extra pep in students’ step.”

www.GlobeMiamiTimes.com Zaragosa is a product of Miami and her life is a reflection of her upbringing in the community. Her father, Albert, worked in the mines, while her mother, Miami native Mary, drove the Miami school bus for 18 years. To supplement the family’s income, Mary operated a small upholstery business out of the house that would become My Mom’s House DZynes.

In addition to overseeing two businesses in Miami now, Zaragosa works at the hospital pharmacy. Daughter Denise lives in Mesa and runs My Mom’s House Dzynes while Dionna and Desirea help with Sweet Memories. Desirea lives in Pima and works in San Carlos and helps on her days off and Dionna recently moved back to Miami from Gilbert.

For the family though, it’s about making Miami’s downtown look more attractive to residents and visitors alike.

“You see people walking around, trying to clean up a little bit and doing what they need to do,” Zaragosa says. “But people are definitely coming to Miami now to see what’s going on.”

She points to other businesses popping up and galleries, such as the one owned by local artist Jim Coates, as a sign that better things are coming to the Town of Miami.

Another fresh business Zaragosa highlights is the Lyric Soda Fountain, owned and operated by longtime Miami arts champion Joanna TwentyThree.

In 2007, Michael and Joanna TwentyThree co-founded Miami Art Works, offering a mix of studios, living spaces, and a gallery.

They eventually moved the family up from the Valley, hoping to create a vibrant arts community to rival other old mining towns such as Bisbee, where the arts have become vital in post-mining rural Arizona economies.

The couple founded the Miami Loco Festival and became active in the nonprofit Miami Arts Commission.

They bought the building that would become the Lyric in 2020, but the COVID pandemic halted the forward momentum of the project, which gave them time to take a more measured approach to what they intended to do with the space.

“We bought the building with the

“It’s just adding a little bit more to Miami,” she says. “That’s been my biggest thing, just trying to add one more little business that’s not antiques. A lot of people come to Miami for the antiques.”

Since Sweet Memories opened on September 15, visitors to downtown Miami have a new place to take a break as they shop for antiques or other sundries that features hot coffee, cold, freshly squeezed lemonade and ice cream.

But the real draw will be for the baked goodies that include popular items such as Dionna’s chocolate chip walnut cookies and cheesecake as well as a menu full of gluten-free, allergen-free, and vegan desserts.

BUSINESS, Continued from page 16 intention of just reopening it to sell ice cream, and then a week later, the pandemic happened and everything closed,” she says.”

So we decided to take the time to gather the equipment we needed to be able to serve lunch, as well as just ice cream.”

The time allowed them to purchase equipment and also to sell their house in Phoenix to move to Miami full-time.

At the beginning of 2023, the TwentyThrees’ goal was to be open in April in time for the Loco Fest, which they ultimately did, and in subsequent months the Lyric served its fare to the people of Miami.

Michael TwentyThree’s—often spelled “23”—untimely death in June at the age of 53 threw Joanna into a state of shock, but she realized she needed to continue the project they had dreamed of for so long.

“It feels like this is what we’ve built together,” TwentyThree says. “After I passed the shock, it seemed like a no-brainer to keep it open. When we opened he had this

sense that if anything happened to him, his family would be provided for. It took a load off his mind for our continued financial survival in the face of losing him. So it also honors his legacy.”

Helping Joanna TwentyThree continue the artistic vision is Huntington Beach, California native and two-year Miami resident Amanda Rae, who decided she needed to change her life in the wake of COVID. Rae moved to Miami on the advice of a friend who knew Michael TwentyThree for more than 30 years. She works in watercolor, mixed media, ceramics and pottery, landscape oil painting and art education and spent most of her life teaching art in Southern California.

But after she became an “empty-nester,” Rae sold her house and traveled for a while before landing in Miami and renting a living space in the Art Works. Her background includes teaching, but she cut her teeth in the arts world working in a small coffee shop her mother owned known as Jams.

The move from the coastal climate of Southern California to rural Arizona has

been refreshing for Rae, as she feels much more welcome in her new community than the one she lived in her entire life.

“I lived in the same house for 37 years and raised two kids there that whole time,” Rae says. “There’s people I lived next door to that whole time I never even made eye contact with. In Miami, if you’ve been here a week, people come up and introduce themselves, so there’s been that sense of community right from the beginning.”

She also sees continuing Michael TwentyThree’s legacy as an important thing for Miami and thinks Joanna is uniquely suited to the task.

“This was just as much Joanna’s hopes and dreams as it was Michael’s,” Rae says. “She’s a dynamic and interesting conceptual artist herself that has really made this community, so it’s definitely still alive.”

In addition to Art Works, the Lyric and the art gallery with a stage for performances, Joanna TwentyThree has

another indoor venue in the works that will be called 23 SkiDoo, but that is “a work in progress.”

For now, the focus is to make Miami a more attractive, and economically viable place to live, work and enjoy the arts.

“Michael cared a lot about trying to revitalize Miami, and it feels like this business goes a long way towards improving people’s perception of this place, and the deliverability of it,” she says. “Having somewhere to go eat and hang out is really important for people in the place where they live and I do feel it fosters community.”

The Lyric Soda Fountain is open Thursday through Sunday as of press time, although TwentyThree says she hopes to add Wednesday to the schedule soon.

Eunique was born in Chinle, a part of the Navajo Nation, and moved to Phoenix in the early 2000s to attend school to become a designer. On Indigenous Peoples Day 2021, she co-founded Cahokia. Its mission is to collaborate on projects with generational impact. They often partner with Phoenix Center for the Arts, providing collaborative space and artist recruitment.

“Indigenous people have lived on this land for thousands of years,” says Eunique.

“It’s important that their perspective is amplified through public art.”

One Cahokia/Phoenix Center for the Arts partnership is BIPOC Arts, a program that trains artists of different backgrounds to develop curriculum and teach others.

The program emphasizes the healing and therapeutic benefits of art and prepares artists for employment in youth and elder facilities. CC is enrolled in the program and excited about its potential.

“I water my roots for the younger generation to be proud of who they are,” she says.

Earlier this year, both women took part in a huge collaborative project: a mural commissioned by the NFL for SuperBowl 2023. The ambitious effort was led by the vision of Lucinda “La Morena” Hinojos.

CC points out that people don’t see the trials that went into creating the piece - they see only the finished work. To paint the 9,500-square-foot mural on the side of the Monarch Theater, the team used three rigs to move the artists up and down.

It took coordination, coping with cold weather and clogged spray paints, and artists being holstered on a four-story rig.

CC was the first artist to climb on.

“Always with prayer,” she says. “My family taught me to be confident in every space I’m in.”

The mural, a bright desert landscape, features diamond-studded mountains honoring the 22 indigenous tribes of Arizona. In the foreground is a young Apache woman, painted mostly in black and white, and dressed in a camp dress.

The woman was modeled after CC’s sister.

“I am honored,” says Carrie (CC) Curley, the 2023 recipient of the Dr. Eugene Grigsby Visual Artist Award. “I will always remember my community.” In the photo: CC’s Aunt Marcy, CC, CC’s Uncle Philip, CC’s mother Selina, CC’s cousin Mahalia. Courtesy photos “I paint women,” CC says. “They are the backbone of our culture.”

During the course of their collaborations, CC invited Eunique to her home in San Carlos, to experience the Apache culture.

“Growing up, I always thought there were vast differences - different languages, different creation stories, different beliefs,” Eunique says. “But when I was able to go into her community, I could see the similarities. I was amazed how similar we were as a community.”

Early Influences Most people think of Geronimo when they think of Apache warriors. CC paints Lozan, the female warrior who fought alongside him.

“I come from a line of praying warriors,” says CC. Her mother, Selina, is a seamstress and designs traditional camp dresses for the young Apache women for their sunrise ceremonies. While her mother puts her prayer into the making of each dress, CC takes photos, capturing the way the fabric moves as the women walk and dance on the Earth.

CC began making art as a little girl - charcoal drawings for her family. She began painting in her mid-teens. CC was

the cartoonist for the school paper at Globe High and was asked to paint her first mural there.

In 2015, CC earned an Associates of Arts degree in Art through Eastern Arizona College. She painted a work called Apache Blue. She had a solo art show in October 2012 at Vide e Caffe in Globe, and her art was featured on the poster for the annual Apache Jii festival. The following February, Curley’s work was showcased at the Navajo Nation Museum, and in 2015 she helped artists Thomas Greyeyes and Vansler Nosie paint a water tank mural as part of the “Honor the Treaties, Water Is Life ‘’ campaign on the San Carlos Apache reservation.

Then, for eight years, Curley focused on farming and did little painting. She served as vice president of Nalwoodi Denzhone (“Strength and Beauty”) Community, a 501(c)3 non-profit operating on the San Carlos Apache Reservation.

The time was critical, Curley says, for making the connection to Mother Earth.

“Art is very holistic. The time was for me to learn about seeds.”

During the pandemic, the seeds and squash the community grew were used to feed people. It’s also making its way back into the ceremonies, back to the sunrise dance.

“Everyone is praying and dancing,” CC says. “And the food is grown on the land.” u

San Carlos native, Carrie (CC) Curley was honored with the 2023 Dr. Eugene Grigsby Visual Artist Award by the Phoenix Center for the Arts. In the photo: CC’s Mother Selina, CC’s Partner Stephanie and CC

HIGH DESERT MIDDLE SCHOOL

CROSS-COUNTRY GOES INTO OVERDRIVE

by David Abbott

Running on empty hasn’t been a problem for High Desert Middle School ever since the beginning of the current school year ushered in a new crosscountry program – and the school apparently won’t be hitting a wall in the near future, either.

The new program, organized and directed by HDMS paraprofessional Rebekah Haverland, has already attracted significant interest from students who enjoy the camaraderie – and the snacks – that go along with distance running.

CVIT DENTAL PROGRAM 15

“I really try to push unity, because it’s a really self-motivating sport. They need to understand that we’re there for each other.

I’ve noticed having this cross-country team has started new friend groups, and the kids are sticking together more.”

– Rebekah Haverland

Haverland has been an employee with the Globe Unified School District for six years. Last year, she coached cross-country and track and field at Globe High School when that program lost its coach midseason. Cross-country differs from track and field in that it’s purely devoted to running, while track and field in middle school has running as well as long jump, high jump, shot put, and discuss.

Gila Monster Construction

By Patti Daley

SOCIETY PAGES 12/13

Shelby Barrowdale, owner of Gila Monster Construction (GMC), has been into construction all his life and all around the U.S. and Mexico. He grew up here in Globe – here he mostly got into trouble.

“Working in construction probably saved me from that,” he says. “I learned some discipline and structure.”

The business is off to a big start. In what has become a familiar story, GMC is “super booked”. Completing a roof a week for the past couple of years, the company is currently booking two weeks out. For interior remodel work, it’s March.

For Shelby Barrowdale, it feels good to be filling a community need.

“We intend to stay in Globe and provide quality, honest service to the community,” he says. “Help teach people how to do construction, provide jobs.”

The Origin Story

RECOGNITIONS 16

Shelby Barrowdale grew up in Globe with five siblings. His mother, Belinda Allinson, was a butcher at Safeway. Jhawn Barrowdale, his father, owned Tri-City Sanitation and still does.

Shelby enjoyed hunting and fishing with his family. He did not play sports in high school. Nor was he impressed by any teacher.

“I was always business-minded, but I lacked direction,” says Shelby. “I didn’t have the right product for sale.”

After high school graduation (GHS 2009), Shelby followed many of the men in his family into construction – his maternal grandfather, great uncles, brother-in-law, stepdad. He got his start doing industrial construction – copper mines and powerhouses. He specialized in electricity.

For ten years he traveled around the U.S. and Mexico, working and learning the trade. His early jobs had him digging holes for the electricians. A decade later he was the senior project manager for Rural Electric. Along the way he built a personal portfolio of single family homes and multi-unit rentals.

“I read Robert Kiyosaki,” Shelby laughs. “Basically, I read real estate books.

Saved earnings. Invested. Leveraged.”

ee Ann Powers’ desk is littered with stacks of papers and books.

On the wall, there’s a corkboard cluttered with notices and what look like to-do lists, one on top of the other so it’s impossible to know. Sticky notes appear to track personal requests, reminders about upcoming museum events, and a price quote for t-shirts the museum might purchase.

She pulls open desk drawers full of reels of microfilm on loan from the Arizona Silver Belt, which she is digitizing. A computer monitor hooked to the microfilm reader towers above her. As each page of the microfilm comes into view, Lee Ann adjusts the parameters to fit the screen and lightens the page to clean up the muddiness – a result of age. Then, pausing, she scans the page for items of interest before capturing the image and moving on to the next.

Lee Ann works at the Bullion Plaza Museum and Cultural Center as a research assistant, spending most of her time digitizing old copies of local newspapers – the Arizona Silver Belt and Arizona Record.

Her part-time position was initially established through a grant from Freeport-McMoRan, which also paid for the digitizing equipment and library room she uses. After the initial grant ran out, the museum found other grants and funding sources to keep her position.

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.

The building at 110 Broad Street was the first two-story brick building in town. It stood alone for years. Built by the International Order of Odd Fellows (IOOF) in 1898, the second floor was then, and remains today, the meeting hall of the Odd Fellows and Rebekahs of Globe-Miami.

“There’s a lot of history in this building,” says Greg Parisoff, current lodge President. “Once it’s gone, it’s gone.”

Sometimes behind glass encasement, but often under harsh light, the second floor holds historical records and ceremonial relics of a social organization once prominent in our society, now struggling to survive.

“It’s a challenge just to keep this beautiful building open and to keep the Odd Fellows going,” says Greg, “not just here but in the whole state. The whole country.”

“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.”

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.

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.
