The 100-Mile Quest

By Patti Daley, Photos by LCGross

Jared Yuhas, 29, is training for a 100-mile run. He’s taken on the challenge as a way to motivate himself to run as often as he can.

“Everything feels better after a hard run,” he says. “I’m at peace.”

Before the run, however, there’s “always a small dread.”

“It’s not a pleasant process, for the most part,” Jared explains. “You feel great. You hit a wall. You can’t go on.

You do. The next few miles feel great.

Then horrible. It’s an unpredictable mental battle.”

In the battle he seeks a “bulletproof mind.”

Born in New Jersey, Jared is the third of eleven children. His mother teaches fifth graders in Queens, NYC; his father left the scene when he was 8. A stepdad came on the scene, not to his liking, and Jared felt “on his own” by age 13.

You might have heard that the libraries are closed, but that’s not completely true. The physical buildings and books might be unavailable – but the library has always offered lots more than that, through its online digital offerings. You can still access these resources – books, magazines, newspapers, audiobooks, and more – right from your phone, tablet, or computer.

And all for free.

The following is just a sampling of what’s available online through the Gila Public Library system. Much of it has remained undiscovered, but you might be amazed to find out what’s been there all along.

Reading Arizona

Copper Mining in the Corridor

Reading Arizona is a selection of nonfiction and fiction e-books and audiobooks for all ages.

The books in this selection all have a connection to Arizona, but that includes more than you might think – including novels by J.A. Jance, Barbara Kingsolver, Tony Hillerman, and Edward Abbey, biographies, many guidebooks and field guides, and the Images of America series.

Examples: Ghosts of the Grand Canyon; the guidebook Hiking Arizona; Inland by Tea Obret; First: Sandra Day O’Connor by Evan Thomas.

Local Schools Launch Remote, Off-Campus Learning

By Cheryl Hentz

The COVID-19 pandemic is changing nearly every aspect of how we live our lives. One of the major areas impacted is education. In March, Arizona schools temporarily closed until April 10, and just as we were going to press, the Governor and Secretary of Education closed all schools throughout the state until the end of the year. Since the onset of the closures, educators and school staff have been scrambling to put new tools in place and think outside the box to enable learning and support services for students to continue.

Schools in the Globe-Miami area are up for the challenge, to be sure.

Here’s what they’re each doing.

COBRE VALLEY REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER IS PREPARING FOR COVID-19

“The surge capacity of the hospital is 50 beds (14 ICU). If this disease should spread quickly, the number of needed beds may surpass the number of beds available. This is why social distancing, limiting personal contact, covering your cough and sneeze, washing your hands, and staying at home unless it is an emergent situation are critical actions. These behaviors help to slow down the spread of the disease to people at high risk who may need hospitalization. Patients who are hospitalized for other medical conditions need to be considered in this bed count, also.”

PUBLISHER’S NOTE

The chances to smile this month were fleeting, so that is why, when my friend Kathryn posted about how she tried to teach her 96-year old mother about Clorox and COVID-19, I reached out to her and asked if I could share it with you (page 5).

The message here is elegant in its simplicity. And crystal clear.

Most of us have never experienced the hardships, fears, and uncertain times of that generation.

We are facing our first “rodeo.”

I can vividly imagine three young mothers - not even 30 years old - dancing and hugging in the middle of the street the day a vaccine for polio was announced.

I can imagine their joy and relief, knowing that they would no longer have to fear the fate of iron lungs and permanent paralysis that came in the night to steal away their childrens’ futures.

Hers is the same generation whose parents faced down the Great Depression and found hope in a president - himself stricken with polio. A president who had an empathetic heart for adversity and saw himself as a champion of all Americans.

A man who led the nation out of despair with his belief in the American people, and who used the power of the federal government to help us, as a nation, find our way back to selfsufficiency, while improving every corner of our parks, roads, and infrastructure.

Blessings we came to take for granted for decades.

FDR reveled in the “can do” American spirit of putting shoulder to the wheel.

But he understood the government’s role in providing that wheel. He created the WPA (Workers Progress Administration) to carry out public works projects to build public buildings and roads and put unemployed people to work, and the TVA (Tennessee Valley Authority), which was sponsored by Tennessee Republican George Norris, as a regional economic development agency to help modernize the rural region’s economy and society.

His administration created Social Security, a federal safety net for older Americans, and he championed workers rights.

The legacy of these programs have made an immeasurable difference in our lives.

We are a people who have been raised to believe you pull yourself up with your bootstraps.

But we are learning, if we didn’t understand already, that way too many Americans are without bootstraps. Affordable healthcare is needed so one crisis doesn’t bankrupt dreams. Financing that is good for small business, not just financers, and a jobs program like the WPA that not only creates jobs, but addresses our failing infrastructure are just some of the things that good government for the people can do. It’s increasingly apparent that it will take a new level of graciousness, grit, and government leadership to meet this challenge.

I believe that beneath the disturbing headlines, we still have the know-how and the heart to overcome the significant challenge in front of us and arrive on the other side.

Stay Strong.

OPINION A Generational Perspective: Not My First Rodeo

April 2020

By Katherine Nakamura “This isn’t my first rodeo,” my mother asserted when I tried to give her the recipe for a bleach solution as a cleaning agent against COVID-19. Not sure what she meant by that, I was just glad that, after returning from the hospital to her home in Hemet after a near stroke, my 94-year-old mother had immediately launched a rigorous decontamination campaign, leaving her shoes and purse outside, stripping off all her clothes to immediately put them in the washer, and then walking straight back naked to the shower. When I caught up with her by phone she was fully clothed and preparing to mop the floors, clean the bathrooms and wipe down the kitchen counters with bleach, concerned that COVID-19 might have hitched a ride with her back from the hospital. I was just concerned she didn’t fumigate herself in the process, but was clearly told she knew what she was doing.

But what had she meant by “rodeo”? Though she had first been a business woman who started her own company in 1954, then a beloved English teacher with impeccable diction, I am getting used to these uncharacteristic lapses into frontier terminology from my South Dakota mother as she has grown older. As in, “I just won’t trade with them, I just won’t,” when she learned years ago that the Wal-Mart that doesn’t offer health insurance to all its employees had decided to move into her neighborhood. I was tempted to remind her that trading posts were long gone, but thought better of it when I saw that familiar jut of the jaw and glint of South Dakota stubborn glaring back at me. Although I never once proposed that we shop at this suddenly nefarious company, her outrage at the injustice of it all still blanketed our conversation. But in this particular conversation, it was the word “rodeo” that stuck with me, and today I finally figured out why.

When I was growing up, my mother had often told me how as a child and later as a young mother she had lived in dreaded fear of polio. How they had all lived in fear of polio. It had struck several childhood friends in

her town, had been the constant companion of FDR, the only president she had known as a child, and when she had children of her own, living in a small community of parents and children, they had all feared it terribly. Two particularly bad years of polio had made it worse, years when my brothers were just learning how to swim confidently on their own, swimming holes and even swimming pools being a known place to catch the disease. To this day, my mother loves to swim like a fish loves water. She still begs us to bring our bathing suits when we come visit, as though we were all still 8 years old. A champion diver, she could do a back dive off the high dive board when she was 4. The contradiction between the water she adored and the catastrophic disease she feared, must have been quite a struggle for her.

Then, on March 26, 1953, all that changed. So odd that

5

my mother’s return from the hospital and her cleaning spree would be exactly 67 years later to that day, a day when she would have been just 27. On that day Jonas Salk announced his discovery of the polio vaccine on CBS radio.

As one, my mother and her friends had all rushed out of their houses at the same time, embraced in the street, overjoyed, relieved and thankful they would no longer have to live in fear of polio, or infantile paralysis, as it was known. Their children would live, would never need leg braces or be kept alive in iron lungs. It must have been quite a scene.

My mother has told me often of Salk’s miraculous announcement, the sheer joy of it. So she’s right. This isn’t her first rodeo. This isn’t her first bucking bronco or raging bull.

Yet, how could I have forgotten? Or not realized? She must have mopped countless floors, wiped down innumerable counters and cleaned hundreds of bathrooms all those years that they waited for the polio vaccine, for antibiotics, for hope, for certainty. Her own mother must have lived with that same cold fear in her heart, must have used the same or similar recipe for the simple bleach cleaning solution that I had so assuredly tried to give my mother, as though she had never had to do anything like this before.

So what I realize from “rodeo” is what a privileged life I have lived to have never really known this fear that sits and visits with us all now in the form of COVID-19. The privilege of thinking my own mother didn’t know the recipe for bleaching solution just because througout all the years of my childhood and even into my adulthood, we hadn’t once needed to hold that recipe next to our heart, or all the dozens of other things you needed to know to keep your family safe. Not really. Not like we do now as we face our own first real rodeo.

Katherine was a Trustee on the Board of Education for the San Diego Unified School District when it named one of the schools after Jonas Salk in 2005. She now runs a small nonprofit for the performing arts. Her mother is Gladys Roby, who lives in Hemet, California after teaching English in L.A. Unified for 30 years.

The Hidden Effect of the Coronavirus

This Earth Day we are seeing an unprecedented rollback of environmental regulations

By Paul J. Buck While the nation is coping with coronavirus impacts and precautions, countless Americans are dealing with new realities such as unemployment, food scarcity, and isolation through social distancing. For most of us, this means prioritizing the things in our lives that mean the most such as family and caring for those who are most at risk. Unfortunately, there are those in Washington D.C. who are taking advantage in this time of caution and restriction to push ahead corporate agendas that could have precedent-setting effects on the health of our environment and on Americans.

On Thursday, March 26th, The Environmental Protection Agency released a memorandum announced a sweeping relaxation of environmental rules in response to the coronavirus pandemic, allowing power plants, factories, and other facilities to determine for themselves if they are able to meet legal requirements

on reporting air and water pollution as reported by the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, and other news outlets. This move comes amid an influx of requests from businesses for a relaxation of regulations as they face layoffs, personnel restrictions, and other problems related to the coronavirus outbreak. The rule, which will remain in place indefinitely, means factories, power plants, and other major industrial polluters have tremendous discretion in deciding whether or not they think the coronavirus will prevent them from meeting certain legal requirements.

Issued by the E.P.A.’s top compliance official, Susan P. Bodine, the policy sets new guidelines for companies to monitor themselves for an undetermined period of time during the outbreak and says that the agency will not issue fines for violations of certain air, water, and hazardous-waste-reporting requirements.

“The consequences of the pandemic may affect facility operations and the availability of key staff and contractors and the ability of laboratories to timely analyze samples and provide results,” says the EPA memorandum. The EPA’s decision was comprehensive, forgoing fines or other civil penalties for companies that –failed to monitor, report, or meet some other requirements for releasing hazardous pollutants.

The move was the latest, and one of the broadest, regulation-easing moves by the EPA, which is seeking to roll back dozens of regulations as part of President Trump’s purge of rules that the administration views as unfriendly to business. The oil industry’s lobby American Petroleum Institute requested regulatory relief from President Trump, citing concerns for workers and limited numbers of staff due to the outbreak. Many experts and environmental advocates say that

while case-by-case relaxation of rules for companies that are short-staffed due to the pandemic makes sense, the expansiveness of the EPA’s directive appears both unprecedented and designed to give a green light to polluters to act recklessly at a time when air quality is acutely important for public health, according to the news site Vox. Gina McCarthy, who led the E.P.A. under the Obama administration and now serves as president of the Natural Resources Defense Council, called it “an open license to pollute.” She said that while individual companies might need flexibility, “this brazen directive is nothing short of an abject abdication of the E.P.A. mission to protect our well-being,’’ as reported by the New York Times. “No one has ever seen anything like this. This is a complete pass for every industry. It basically says that if somehow it’s related to COVID-19, then you don’t have to worry — and this is retroactive to earlier in the month (March 13th) — about monitoring or keeping records.” Monitoring or record-keeping may sound like “just paperwork,” McCarthy went on to say, but it’s the most fundamental way for the public to know what pollutants are getting emitted into air and dumped into our water.

The LA Times reported McCarthy as saying “It’s ludicrous; this is standard work that takes very few people to do — especially when you’re trying to keep the factories running.” It amounts to a free pass for all the entities that the EPA normally regulates under the Clean Air and Clean Water Acts. That’s a huge swath of industry, including facilities like refineries, smelters, and chemical plants—the same types of sites that can trigger asthma attacks—even as these plants continue to operate during the pandemic. EPA is essentially ceding its federal authority to state offices and deferring to the polluters, even on issues

that could pose an “imminent threat” to public health or the environment, according to the news magazine Mother Jones. Cynthia Giles, the EPA’s former head of enforcement during the Obama administration described the EPA’s suspension as “an abdication of EPA’s responsibility to protect the public.

Incredibly, the EPA statement does not even reserve EPA’s right to act in the event of an imminent threat to public health.”

David Uhlmann, director of the environmental law and policy program at the University of Michigan and former chief of the environmental crimes section at the Justice Department said that while it was no surprise people would be suspicious about the decision, considering the Trump administration’s “deplorable record” on environmental protection, “this policy may be less nefarious than the alarming environmental rollbacks that the Trump EPA continues to pursue, even as the nation is fighting the COVID pandemic,” reports the LA Times. In the 24 hours after the EPA freeze, the Trump administration rolled out a host of other policies that suggested it’s exploiting the pandemic to more broadly deregulate the private sector and advance controversial policies surrounding both public health and the environment that might otherwise garner more scrutiny.

In the past, the Globe-Miami area has been plagued with poor soil, air, and water quality due to the mining industry which brought these towns to life. Through a combination of science, technology, and government regulations, those once life threatening pollutants have been greatly reduced. With an informed citizenry and the continued positive relationship these communities share with our local mines, hopefully we can avoid unnecessary increases in pollution and emissions under the pretenses of assisting industry while getting the local economy back on its feet.

POLLINATOR PROJECTS TO LIFT THE SPIRIT Freeport-McMoRan Enhances Pollinator Habitats While Providing Educational Opportunities Since 2011, Freeport-McMoRan’s Pollinator Conservation Initiative has worked to increase habitat relied upon by pollinators, while providing learning opportunities for all ages through Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics.

More than a dozen Freeport-McMoRan sites throughout North America have implemented pollinator conservation and education projects both on and off company properties. In the past year, staff reached 1,500 students and community members through pollinator-focused education and outreach activities, including Earth Day celebrations, pollinator education workshops and hands-on planting events in the field. These types of programs have been recognized through the Wildlife Habitat Council’s Conservation Certification program.

The Pollinator Conservation Initiative has resulted in success stories companywide.

or beating stress and calming anxiety, two of the best things you can do are to, one, stay active - especially if you choose an activity that will be meaningful beyond your day-to-day life. And, two, get outdoors. The fresh air and natural beauty can heal your soul and help put things in perspective.

Arizona’s pollinators – our bees and butterflies, plus some birds, bats, and moths – work tirelessly to help plants grow, which in turn provides us food, green landscapes, our cotton and linen clothing, and so much more. And our pollinators are in distress, what with habitat loss, pollution and pesticides in the environment, and disease. A quick pollinator project can be just the thing to lift your own spirits and lend a hand to these beautiful, indispensable creatures.

Your project doesn’t have to be as ambitious as a pollinator garden. These gardens can create a lively corner in your yard and provide a great service to the animals that use it – but even a small project can make a big difference. Here are a few ideas that can make your existing yard or garden a little more pollinator-friendly, and attract the butterflies, bees, and birds that can be so enjoyable to watch throughout the year.

Plant a few more native flowering plants. It’s most helpful if you add plants that will flower during times of the year when your garden doesn’t already bloom. For a planting guide, visit www.pollinators.org/resources, and click on the Arizona-New Mexico guide. Or use the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum’s interactive list at www.desertmuseum.org/plantcare.

Plant milkweed to support monarch butterflies.

The Desert Botanical Garden recommends several varieties to plant and gives planting instructions at dbg. org/community/great-milkweed-grow-out.

Create a small water feature. A small pool with sloping sides will give pollinators a chance to drink without drowning. Or install a birdbath or a small fountain.

Create nesting habitats. This can be as simple as clearing an area where ground-nesting insects would be able to tunnel into the soil. Since most of Arizona’s

wild bees nest in the ground, this can be one of the most helpful things you can do to support them. It should have no gravel or mulch, and would preferably receive a lot of sun. The tunnels will be very narrow and hard to see, about the size of a pencil eraser.

Choose an area to leave a little messy. Another way to create nesting habitats is simply to leave leaf litter, dead plants, branches, and logs on the ground. These provide valuable nesting places for pollinators.

Build a bee box. This is different from a beekeeper’s beehive – it’s a nesting box. Sort of a birdhouse, but for bees. Instructions can be found at www.nationaltrust. org.uk/giants-causeway/features/how-to-build-abee-box.

Plant some sunflowers. Scientists believe plants in the genus Helianthus might help bees stay healthy.

They also provide beautiful cut flowers, they attract wild birds, and they even help detoxify contaminated soil.

Turn a flowerpot upside down. It’s that easy to create a safe nesting place for bumblebees.

We’re all connected, and we’re all in this together – possibly nothing demonstrates that better than our pollinators. So when you’re feeling alone, overwhelmed, or anxious, helping these little creatures could be a great way to help yourself, too.

At Freeport-McMoRan’s Miami operations in Arizona, the site maintains a pollinator garden that hosts not only a diversity of native wildflowers, but provides a butterfly puddle (a water source) and a bee block for wood-nesting solitary bees.

Invasive plant species are regularly managed using best management practices in consultation with conservation experts. The garden also serves as an outdoor classroom for students to learn about relevant STEM topics.

The company’s Copper Queen Branch in Bisbee and Sierrita operations near Tucson have each taken a different approaches to pollinator conservation by collaborating with schools in their communities to establish native wildflower gardens on school grounds.

In addition, numerous operations utilize their reclamation areas to promote pollinator and wildlife habitat. A diversity of native plants – comprising grasses, forbs, wildflowers, woody shrubs and trees – are included in sites’ reclamation seed mix to bolster ecosystem diversity, structure and function.

New protocols due to COVID-19 issued by Service First Realty I just wanted to let you know some new protocols we have enacted in our offices. We do not want owners to have to suffer any more than necessary if they have empty rentals, but we have decided to institute the following: We are still in the office to deal with calls and repair issues, as well as showings for inventory we have for sale.

All of our listed properties for sale are on lockbox to decrease the traffic into the office to pick up keys.

We are not open to the public. All of our business is being done by appointment only.

When we get repair requests, we are asking the tenants if anyone is currently ill or has been within the last week. We pass this information on to the vendors we use so they can make informed decisions about entering residences.

We are not taking any out-of-state appointments, as there was a couple that wanted to view houses and they were from a heavily infected area of the United States. I think these people were irresponsible to come into our community to talk with realtors and eat in our restaurants. It is behavior like this, and even more irresponsible behavior, that led me to make the decision to protect our staff, our family, and our tenants.

Of course, we are also sanitizing our offices and disinfecting often. We are using Glove Hand (a cream that acts as a barrier on your hands) when we deal with money.

None of us is freaking out, but I do think you need to take this virus seriously. I don’t care about the numbers of coronavirus versus the H1N1 flu.

I don’t want anyone I know to have to suffer through

it, and potentially cause them a great deal of harm.

My mother is compromised with her health issues, and I want to see her live a very long time. I am keeping all of our community in my prayers, and I want people to know that we will get through this temporary but challenging time.

Anyone that runs a small business knows that the never-ending decisions that have had to be made over the last two weeks have been exhausting.

I myself believe that even if you only believe half of what you hear and read, the coronavirus is still something to take seriously, due to the large elderly population we have in our community and considering all the information that we can only guess at.

A Look at Covid-19 in March WORLD VIEW

Note: We will take a look at the pandemic as it unfolds each month and have divided our coverage into 4 categories: Pandemic Numbers, ARIZONA VIEWinto world, USA, Arizona, and Globe-Miami news.

Economic Impacts, Healthcare Impacts and Personal Impacts. Each category is then broken down

Pandemic by the Numbers WORLD VIEW

USA VIEW

✦ A s of March 31 the world had 845,720 confirmed cases, 41,437 deaths. ✦ O n March 26, the global number of confirmed cases passed 500,000.

WORLD VIEW

✦ One-third of the world’s population is in lockdown. “An estimated 1.7 billion people have

ARIZONA been orderedVIEW to remain at home as governments take extreme measures to protect their populations.” (Guardian, March 30)

ARIZONA VIEW VIEW ✦WORLD Hotspots include Spain, France, and Italy. Japan is warning of an imminent explosion in cases.

USA VIEW

✦ A s of March 31, the United States had 180,789 confirmed cases, 3,580 deaths.

✦ On March 26, the number of deaths in the USA passed 1,000, and on the same day, the USA became the country with the largest number of cases: 83,507. On March 28, the number of deaths passed 2,000. On March 30, the number passed 2,978, GLOBE-MIAMI exceeding the number of persons killed on September 11. The U.S. is now the worstVIEW affected country in the world. ✦ The hotspots in March were New York City, Detroit, Chicago, and New Orleans.

Orleans Parish in Louisiana had the highest per-capita coronavirus death rate of American counties. But rural counties that receive high amounts of tourism are also becoming hotspots, including Blaine County, Idaho; Summit County, Utah; and Eagle County and Gunnison County, Colorado. ✦ At least 30 states have stay-at-home or shelter-in-place orders in effect, covering some 250 million Americans - about 75% of the population.

USA VIEW ARIZONA VIEW

✦ As of March 31, Arizona had 1,289 confirmed cases and 24 deaths.

GLOBE-MIAMI✦ As of March 31, one case has been confirmed in Gila County. This case VIEW GLOBE-MIAMI was confirmed on March 28. It is a 40-year old woman in Payson who USA VIEW was asymptomatic. This announcement means the county must now VIEW adhere to the governor’s declaration and requires that non-essential businesses close their doors.

✦ As of March 29, the federal government is weighing rolling back guidelines on social WORLD VIEW distancing in areas that have not been as hard-hit by the outbreak, after a nationwide 15-day effort to slow the spread of the virus. Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, on CNN’s “State of the Union,” predicted the United States would see between 100,000 and 200,000 deaths from COVID-19.

He said, “We’re VIEW going to have millions of cases,” but added, “I don’t want to be held to ARIZONA that,” because the pandemic is “such a moving target.”

GLOBE-MIAMI

VIEW ECONOMIC IMPACTS

WORLD VIEW ✦ The Dow Jones index fell to a March low of 18,591 on the 23rd - a drop of 37% from its high of 29,551 on Feb. 12.

USA VIEW It closed on March 31 at 21,917.

WORLD VIEW ✦ Many countries have established quarantine requirements for people entering the country or entry bans, either global bans or bans from hotspot regions. Commercial flights have been grounded in much of the world, and the reduction in air travel has devastated the airline industry.

ARIZONA VIEW ✦ Due to the global slowdown in economic activity, economists are concerned that “the best economic outcome that anyone can hope for is a recession deeper than that following the 2008 financial crisis” (Project Syndicate, March 24).

✦ On March 27, Donald Trump signed a $2 trillion coronavirus economic stimulus bill, ARIZONA VIEW the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, to aid businesses GLOBE-MIAMI and individuals.

VIEW

✦ 3.3 million people have applied for unemployment benefits. More than half of Americans have already had their work or pay cut because of the pandemic.

(ABC News) USA VIEW

✦ The economist USA VIEW Nouriel Roubini is warning of the risk for a “Greater Depression” WORLD VIEW because of the inadequate public health response, the potential for stagflation, and

GLOBE-MIAMI VIEW

geopolitical shocks. (Business Insider, March 28)

GLOBE-MIAMI ARIZONA VIEW VIEW

✦ March

4, Gov. Ducey obtained $500,000 in initial federal funding for Arizona’s COVID-19 response.

✦ March 12, Gov. Ducey obtained an additional $12.4 million from the CDC allocated $55 million in state public health funding to address COVID-19, and met with school leaders. ✦ March 25, VIEW Gov. Ducey announced $5.3 million for Meals on Wheels.

GLOBE-MIAMI VIEW

HEALTHCARE: CARING FOR COVID

✦ Local SBDC appeared on Facebook to explain the Economic Investment Disaster Loan Program that was just approved for Arizona. (See City of Globe, page 15.)

✦ March 18, the City of Globe issued an Emergency Proclamation to “ensure emergency procurement and economic recovery of Globe.” ✦ March 26, the City of Globe moved to close all bars and movie theaters. Also, all restaurants and food service businesses were ordered to close on-site dining areas and move to drive-through.

You cannot fight a fire blindfolded, and we cannot stop this pandemic if we don’t know who is infected. We have a simple message for all countries: Test, test, test.”

WORLD VIEW World Health Organization Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus

WORLD VIEW

WORLD VIEW

✦ Stories have come out of China, Italy, Spain, France, and the United States of nurses, doctors, and hospital administrators becoming infected and dying, as shortages of personal protective ARIZONA VIEW equipment plague hospitals around the world. In Spain, 14% of confirmed cases are medical professionals.

ARIZONA VIEW USA VIEW

USA VIEW

✦ Because women make up a large proportion of healthcare workers, and many have had to stay home to care for their children, healthcare facilities have been left understaffed during the crisis.

✦ Hospitals in hotspots are facing severe shortages in PPEs, ICU beds, and ventilators.

States are competing against one another to purchase ventilators, amid a lack of GLOBE-MIAMI federal coordination. Volunteers are sewing masks and making ventilator valves on 3D VIEW printers. In some hospitals, healthcare workers are using garbage bags as personal protective equipment. But some healthcare workers are being disciplined for wearing masks, because hospitals fear they might scare patients away. Medical professionals are discussing the ethical issues around rationing care due to the shortages of hospital beds and ventilators. (New York Times, March 31)

GLOBE-MIAMI VIEW

✦ Local companies are stepping up to manufacture ventilators in the face of federal inaction. BreathDirect is one, who estimates they will be producing 40,000 per month by June. (Thomson Reuters Foundation News, March 28)

ARIZONA VIEW ✦ March 2, Arizona’s state lab started testing for COVID-19. ✦ March 11, Gov. Ducey declared a public health emergency and issued an executive order to protect high-risk populations and ensure care.

WORLD VIEW

USA ✦ MarchVIEW 21, Gov. Ducey arranged for medical personal protective equipment to be

shipped to Arizona county health departments from the National Strategic Stockpile.

✦ March 25, Gov. Ducey signed legislation to increase AHCCCS provider rates in order

ARIZONA VIEW to increase resources for Arizona hospitals.

GLOBE-MIAMI ✦ March 26, Gov. Ducey issued an executive order to expand hospital capacity by 50% VIEW and changed licensing requirements so that professionals don’t lose their licenses during the pandemic.

USA VIEW ✦ March 28, Wendy Smith-Reeve resigned as Director of Arizona’s Department of Emergency Management after 24 years of service.

GLOBE-MIAMI VIEW

✦ Abbott received approval for a test that can detect coronavirus in five minutes. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce reported that the company plans to supply 50,000 tests per day beginning April 1.

✦ With masks in short supply, a local effort to sew masks ballooned into a massive DIY manufacturing effort involving a dozen-plus crafters, including Holly Brantley, Bunney Keesler, LeeAnn Powers, and others. Masks are made as backups for hospital workers, but are in high demand by front-line workers and local businesses.

And it hit the world. And we’re prepared, and we’re doing a great job with it.

And it will go away. Just stay calm. It will go away.”

Donald Trump. Mar. 10.

April 2020

We want the markets to succeed. That’s very important. Markets are not going to succeed unless we take care of people and we restore their health. Whether there is a cure or whether there’s WORLD VIEW behavior that reduces this tragedy in our country. But let us work together in the most bipartisan way possible to get the job done as soon as possible. It won’t happen unless we respect science, science, science.

And for those who say we choose prayer over science, I say science is an answer to our prayers.”

ARIZONA VIEW Nancy Pelosi, March 26

PERSONAL IMPACTS WORLD VIEW

✦ T he 2020 Tokyo Olympics were postponed to July 2021.

The torch relay and handover ceremony in Athens still took place, but without audiences. Association football has been put on ice everywhere except Belarus and Nicaragua.

✦ In Spain, people who are sheltering in place in city apartment buildings have been holding concerts and community workouts from their rooftops and balconies. In Italy, small-town mayors are becoming famous for viral videos of them exhorting people to go home and stay there. One shouts, “You are not Will Smith in I Am Legend! Go home!”

ARIZONA VIEW

✦ As of March 28, more than 1.7 billion students - nearly 90% of the world’s student population were not going to school because their schools had closed.

USA VIEW

GLOBE-MIAMI VIEW

✦ Democratic primaries were postponed in many states.

✦ Tom Hanks, Rita Wilson, Placido Domingo, Prince Charles, John Prine, Boris Johnson, and Harvey Weinstein have all tested positive for the virus.

ARIZONA VIEW

✦ March 15, Gov. Ducey closed schools to address staffing shortages and partnered with Boys & Girls Club to ensure childcare. ✦ March 16, Gov. Ducey issued new guidance on social distancing and recommended canceling or postponing gatherings or 10 or more people.

USA VIEW ✦ March 19, Gov. Ducey activated the Arizona National Guard to help at grocery

stores and food banks. He also released new guidance requiring restaurants in Arizona counties with confirmed COVID-19 cases to provide dine-out options only, while closing bars, gyms and movie theaters, and obtained Small Business Administration disaster loans for local businesses.

GLOBE-MIAMI ✦ On Friday, March 20, while many Arizona schools were on spring break, coaches VIEW were making hard decisions about whether to continue practices and meets.

Meanwhile, “thousands of boys and girls [were] competing in a variety of sports as of Thursday afternoon.” (Azcentral 3/12)

✦ March 20, Gov. Ducey extended school closures through April 10, expanded access to unemployment insurance, and extended the tax deadline to July 15. ✦ March 22, Gov. Ducey launched a statewide 2-1-1 hotline for COVID-19. ✦ March 23, Ducey issued an executive order prohibiting any county, city, or town in Arizona from issuing any order or regulation “restricting persons from leaving their home due to the COVID-19 public health emergency.” Ducey’s order prevented local municipalities from issuing shelter-in-place regulations.

(Forbes 3/30) ✦ March 24, Gov. Ducey launched the Arizona Together initiative to help Arizonans link to resources and information. He also launched Arizona Enrichment Centers to provide childcare for children of first responders, healthcare workers, and essential public sector workers. Ducey also issued an order delaying evictions for renters impacted by COVID-19. ✦ March 26, Gov. Ducey announced an electric utility relief package so no one has their power shut off due to COVID-19. ✦ March 27, Gov. Ducey announced $5 million in rental assistance for Arizonans and expansion of unemployment benefits. He also announced support for schools, teachers, and families to provide educational opportunities during the pandemic. All school employees will continue to be paid during the closures. ✦ March 30, Gov. Ducey extended school closures to the end of the school year and announced an agreement with Arizona banks to prevent evictions and foreclosures. Ducey also issued a stay-at-home order to slow the spread of COVID-19. The order mandates that all Arizona residents stay in their homes with the exception of essential trips, such as trips to the pharmacy, grocery store, bank, or a medical facility. This stay-at-home order will be in effect from Tuesday, March 31, at 5 p.m. MST until April 30. Ducey issued the order after receiving pressure from mayors. But the list of “essential businesses” allowed to remain open is huge and includes golf courses and nail salons - leading many Arizonans to wonder how effective this “lockdown” will really be. ✦ March 30, the AIA Executive Board announced that AIA sports at all levels are canceled for the remainder of the school year. ✦ Katie Hobbs, Secretary of State, designed a solution to allow voters to submit mail-in ballots by using a workaround developed in Michigan. It could work! (AZ Central, March 26) ✦ One Arizona man died and his wife was hospitalized after they ingested chloroquine phosphate, a chemical used to clean fish tanks that is also found in an anti-malaria medication. Donald Trump falsely stated in a news conference that the FDA had approved the use of chloroquine as a treatment for COVID-19.

(Guardian, March 24)

✦ Residents of New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut have been ordered to refrain from non-essential domestic travel for two weeks. The Canadian and Mexican borders have been closed. ✦ St. Patrick’s Day parades were canceled in many cities - but Mardi Gras went on, and has apparently led to a hotspot in Louisiana. Many major conventions and conferences were also canceled, including SXSW in Texas. The Emmy, Tony, and Country Music awards were suspended. Broadway shows have closed their doors. Zoos and aquariums across the country are closed, leading to a spate of delightful viral videos of animals being allowed to tour their own zoos.

✦ Many churches have closed or have suspended services but are still open for prayer. Pope Francis is livestreaming daily masses from his home. On March 27, the Pope gave the Urbi et Orbi blessing, normally reserved for Christmas and Easter, from an empty St. Peter’s Square.

During a prayer for the health of all the world, he used the crucifix from San Marcello al Corso that had processed through the streets of Rome during the miraculous plague cure of 1522.

Saudi Arabia has closed the major mosques in Mecca and Medina, and Muslim leaders are asking people to stay at home for Friday prayers.

WORLD VIEW

✦ Donald Trump played down concerns about the coronavirus for two months, apparently more concerned USA VIEW about financial markets than the spread of the disease.

The administration issued “guidelines” on March 16 that emphasized social distancing and good hygiene, while many states and localities were passing much more stringent measures. The guidelines were set to end after 15 GLOBE-MIAMI days. On March 24, Trump tweeted that he would like to see the USA return to normal VIEW life by Easter (April 12). On March 30, Trump extended the guidelines until the end of April, after hearing warnings from America’s top health officials that the death toll from COVID-19 could reach 200,000, even with mitigation efforts. (Whitehouse.gov)

✦ As of March 21, more than 118,000 public schools in the United States had closed, affecting nearly 54 million students; 46 states and Washington D.C. have implemented statewide school closures. Parents are homeschooling their children, often while also working from home. Some schools are continuing to offer free breakfasts and lunches during the crisis to help families that depend on school meals to have enough food for their children. ✦ The NCAA canceled winter championships and tournaments, including March Madness. MLB suspended spring training and postponed Opening Day. WrestleMania 36 took place without an audience and will be broadcast in April. Many other sports events have been canceled or postponed, or are happening without live audiences. ✦ Many TV shows are being produced without a live audience or have been postponed or suspended. ✦ All the shelter dogs in New York City have been adopted out – pet owners are allowed to go out for more walks, so dogs have become a popular item. ✦ While under lockdown, people are learning new skills, like ballet or braiding their hair, participating in worldwide book clubs, resurrecting 19th-century parlor games, and playing more online poker. Zoom has become the go-to platform for staying in touch with family and friends.

WORLD VIEW

I call it Matilda’s Law. My mother’s name is Matilda.

Everybody’s mother, father, sister, ARIZONA VIEW friend in a vulnerable population—this is about protecting them. What you do highly, highly affects USA VIEW their health and wellbeing.”

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo

GLOBE-MIAMI VIEW

✦ M arch 15, State School Superintendent Kathy Hoffman closed all schools until March 26. The Governor’s office later extended the closure to April 10 and then to the end of the school year. Schools are making plans to move classes online.

✦ March 16, the AIA canceled all school sports activities through March 28. The cancellation was later extended to the end of the school year. ✦ March 21, Superior’s Farm-to-Fantastic Farmers Market moved to pre-orders and new protocols for selling produce, to make sure residents continue to have access to fresh produce. See the farmers market’s Facebook page. ✦ March 26, the San Carlos Tribe banned religious gatherings, including Sunrise dances, and limited commercial travel on Highway 70 within their boundaries. ✦ As of March 28, all gyms are closed.

All restaurants outside of Globe, which had remained open, must now close as well per the Governor’s order. City offices, including City Hall, the Water Office, and City Court remain open. City parks and hiking trails remain open.

Hill Street Mall supplied much of the fabric. A large ad hoc collection of crafters/sewers heeded the call put out

by LeeAnn Powers to sew 500 masks for CVRMC. Since then, hundreds of orders have flowed in from businesses and individuals. See FB Group: 500MasksForCVRMC.

Globe Miami Times Adapts to COVID-19 “Newspapers are pretty sterile because of the way they are printed and the process they’ve been through. Traditionally, people have eaten fish and chips out of them for that very reason. So all of the ink and the print makes them actually quite sterile. The chances of that are infinitesimal.

There are ZERO cases reported of transmission. Newspapers remain a viable and important source of community news in these difficult times.” ~ John Innes Centre virologist George Lomonossoff, BBC

CVIT: CREATING OPPORTUNITIES – BUILDING FUTURES

April 2020

WELCOME

CVIT is the Copper Corridor’s public Career & Technical Education School District providing local students with the knowledge & technical skills for tomorrow’s workforce.

CELEBRATING OUR STUDENT SUCCESSES: PRESLEY MARTINEZ Seventeen-year old Presley Martinez has much to be proud of. The Globe High School senior is far beyond most teens in terms of secondary education and starting a career.

In May 2019 she graduated from the Medical Assistant program at CVIT Central Campus at EAC- Gila Pueblo Campus and has worked as a registered Medical Assistant at Palo Verde Family Care since August. This year, she’ll not only graduate from Globe High; she’ll also receive an Associate Degree in general studies from Eastern Arizona College. She will be attending ASU for kinesiology – the scientific study of human and animal body movement.

“I eventually want to be a physical therapist, so I think this will help me get into physical therapy graduate school,” Martinez says.

Martinez decided to pursue medical field training because she enjoys helping people and wanted to give something back to the community.

As a dancer and cheerleader, she’s always been around people who get injured, so she’s always had strong feelings for the physical therapy field. “I also did my externship at Cobre Valley Regional Medical Center in the physical therapy department. So, I was able to experience some (very educational) things there.”

Although we are all going through some very scary and difficult times, we hope that students will seek some of the local educational opportunities that are offered at CVIT Central Campus Programs on the EAC - Gila Pueblo Campus. Please review CVIT website at cvit81. org and for more information contact Mike O’Neal at 928-242-1907 or mo’neal@cvit81.org. CVIT will start accepting applications May 1, 2020 for the 2020-21 school year.

SKILLSUSA:

TEACHING SKILLS WHILE BUILDING LEADERS Research shows that the “The SkillsUSA portion that successful completion of a high takes place at school obviously school Career and Technical isn’t taking place. SkillsUSA has Education program contributes canceled their annual (National enormously to students getting Leadership and Skills Conference through college in four or five originally scheduled for June), years. Because of that, Miami primarily because that’s where High School requires the state teams compete and the states completion of a CTE course have almost all canceled their sequence for graduation. conferences,” says Glen Lineberry, CTE programs are built Miami High School principal and on data for employment needs CTE director. “So, the opportunity based on what local industries for interscholastic competition is might need, but it’s also about gone for this year. But our teachers giving kids the skills that will help are continuing to include SkillsUSA them become lifelong learners and self-managers, according learning and activities as much as to Glen Lineberry, Miami High’s they can in the distance learning principal and CTE director. that we’re offering our students.”

At Miami High, the CTE program is provided by SkillsUSA, a partnership of students, teachers, and industry working together to ensure America has a skilled workforce.

Each year, SkillsUSA holds a leadership training event. “The program gives students a real introduction into why we have leaders, how we select them, how you run a meeting, and so on,” says Lineberry. “They are fundamental citizenship-type lessons that kids need to know. What schools used to do was reify the teachings that kids got at home. Now, increasingly we are the ones providing that instruction.”

“Instead of holding our national conference as planned this June, SkillsUSA will be holding virtual state officer training, delegate sessions and national officer elections, along with other recognition programs as yet undetermined. All other elements of our conference — including our SkillsUSA Championships — will be canceled due to COVID-19.” ~ SkillsUSA Executive Director Chelle Travis

All CVIT 2020-21 programs are open to students from public high schools, charter schools, online schools, and home schools. Programs offered for 2020-21 school year include Cosmetology, Dental Assistant, Fire Science, Industrial Electrician, Medical Assistant, Nursing Assistant, Precision Machining, and Welding.

Schools are building up their CTE programs so that a lot of their students will go directly to college. But many students are also finding places in programs like the IDEW Electrician apprenticeship program. And high schoolers interested in graphic design are performing graphic design work for Arizona Special Olympics. Through opportunities like these, students are getting experience in real-life work while also performing a public service.

“In a small school we have limited resources, so everything has to do more than one thing,” Lineberry says. “So our graphic design kids also do design work for the school. Culinary kids run a little diner at the end of school each day where kids can buy food. They also cater school events. Each of our programs has to answer multiple needs.”

Beyond that, students who are heading directly into the job market emerge from CTE programs with the kind of solid credentials that employers look for. These credentials boost their employability in those jobs. For students who will be going to college, the experience makes them employable on a part-time basis.

High schoolers who have attended a leadership training seminar not only learn content there, but they also come away with the idea that they should spread their new knowledge and skills, creating a cycle. “Those kids who are eighth-graders this year, when they get into SkillsUSA as sophomores or juniors, they’re going to be really psyched to go to that training,” Lineberry says. “So this builds a positive learning and feedback loop that can help these kids guide their own future learning and training.”

Cobre Valley Institute of Technology serves students from Superior, Miami, Globe, San Carlos, Hayden-Winkelman and Kearny including home school and charter students. Our career and technical education programs are approved by the Arizona Department of Education and supported by our community partners including Eastern Arizona College Gila Pueblo Campus and Central Arizona College Aravaipa Campus.

CAPSTONE – PINTO VALLEY MINE

Senior Geologist, Resolution Copper, Superior

“It’s just a huge puzzle.

I love that!”

“I find it fascinating,” says Joanna Marshall, describing the small bits of rock she studies as a geologist for Resolution Copper. “It’s a huge jigsaw puzzle and you’re missing most of the pieces. You bring in your geological knowledge to create a feasible model.”

Big Picture Role “We want to find the copper,” she explains. “Our job is to establish how much copper is in the core, and where to find it.”

Geologists get this information from drill core – roughly 4 inch cylinders mined from the shaft that can be thousands of feet long, analyzed in 10 to 20 feet sections. The drillers mine the core and bring it to the geology offices where it is cleaned, analyzed and stored.

“Because Resolution is such a deep deposit, we need a lot of information about the ore before we drill,” explains Joanna.

Joanna works with a team of people and computer software to make 3-D models from the drill core data. The goal is to understand what’s going on underground. New models are created every six to eight months to integrate new information.

“Once we’re happy with a model, we pass it onto the mining engineers,” explains Joanna, “and they make the plan for how to get the rock out of the mine.”

The employees of Capstone Mining Corp. salute you!

First Responders • Healthcare & Public Health Providers Government Officials & Civil Servants • Grocery & Food Service Workers Delivery Drivers & Transportation Services • Small Businesses, Vendors & Contractors Banking & Financial Service Representatives Thank you for your sacrifice, diligence & service during these trying times!

RESOLUTION COPPER

Day-to-Day Work Every day starts with a meeting of all the geologists, to discuss the safety hazards of the day and review general safety.

• 75% work on 3-D resource models • 25% communication, meetings How were you inspired to pursue mining?

“My favorite thing is to go hiking in the hills,” Joanna says.

Joanna grew up around mining. Her father was a hard rock miner and worked all over the world. But it was a trip to some South African mines in her 4th year of college that helped her see mining as a career option. She graduated, in 2009, with a degree in environmental engineering.

“I was going to save the planet,” she says.

The global recession steered her back to school; she earned a Master’s degree at Campbell’s School of Mines a year later. During this course of study she learned 3-D modeling.

“That’s what interested me most,” Joanna says; it remains the favorite part of her work.

Joanna was hired by Rio Tinto while working on her PhD. at a mining site in Peru. She’s now been with the company for 8 ½ years; four years ago she came to Resolution Copper to get core logging experience, which she deems invaluable.

“Every geologist needs one-on-one time working with the rocks,” says Joanna. “If you don’t know the rocks, the numbers mean nothing.”

It helps to be detail-oriented and to have a thirst for knowledge, according to Joanna, and of course, to like shiny rocks. Her favorite is bornite.

“It’s got a lot of copper and it’s very beautiful,” says. “They call it peacock ore; it has all the colors of a peacock tail.”

Outlook on the mining industry “It’s interesting and exciting,” says Joanna. She encourages women interested in a career in mining to “go for it.”

“We’re working hard to make an equal partnership,” she says, “and it’s happening.”

In the last 10 years, there’s been a lot of push on safety. That will continue, she says and notes with pride that Rio Tinto had zero fatalities last year for the first time ever.

“Everyone wants copper. The demand is not going away,” says Joanna, “As long as people want cell phones and air conditioners, there will be mining.”

There is a need, she stresses, to make mining as green as possible.

“I want that for my kids,” says Joanna, “I’m still that geologist at heart that wants to save the planet.”

At the time of this interview, Joanna was expecting the birth of her second child. Born in northern England, she resides in Mesa with her husband, a geologist turned high school teacher, who’s been “happy to move around the world” with her. They enjoy hiking in the hills, running and triathlons, and traveling, much of it job-related. “I’ve seen some amazing places,” she says.

Our main focus is on the safety and wellbeing of our employees, contractors, and the community. A big thank you to all the medical professionals, truck drivers, police/ fire/emergency responders, grocery store employees, and so many more that are out there every day serving the community. With the World Health Organization (WHO) now assessing COVID-19 as a pandemic, here are some of the actions we’re taking at Resolution Copper: halted all work-related travel, excluding visitors from site, providing flexible work arrangements to support our affected employees and their families, intensifying our focus on cleaning at our operations and offices, and ensuring our employees and contractors have the necessary resources available. We are also looking at ways to support our communities – which we will continue to work with through this challenging time.

Off-Campus Learning, continued from page 1

San Carlos Unified School District One thing that goes hand-in-hand with productive learning is having good, nutritious meals. SCUSD is helping students in the district by providing them breakfast and lunch, and maintaining social distancing by having them go to a drive-through.

To aid remote or off-campus learning, SCUSD offers a one-to-one device program for students in grades 6-12, meaning those students will have their own laptops to work on. On March 20, the district provided iPads to kindergartners and first-graders, and Chromebooks for kids in grades 2-5. On March 30 the district gave to middle school and high school students the laptops they had left at school when spring break occurred.

“SCUSD has partnered with Schoology. This program is linked with our student information system (SIS), PowerSchool,” says Donna M. Manuelito, Assistant Superintendent of Academic Excellence for San Carlos Unified School District and the principal at San Carlos Middle School. “Schoology allows SCUSD to bring everyone together – students, teachers, coaches, parents, and administrators – with one communication and collaboration platform. Students will be able to work from home and collaborate with teachers and other students in real time.”

The district is also partnering with the San Carlos Apache Tribe and their Tribal Emergency Response Committee (TERC) to make sure families and students who need help, get it. “We have also partnered with San Carlos Apache Telecommunications Utility Company (SCATUI) to help students get access to their Internet services,” says Manuelito.

She added that for students without

Internet access, the district will be providing grade-level packets for pencil and paper learning, and those packets will be delivered during meal drivethrough times.

“Not only is this a learning experience, it has taught us at San Carlos Unified School District that we are more than a district; we are a family,” Manuelito says. “We use Zoom and WebEx to hold virtual staff meetings [and] administrator meetings, and we are also using our District Facebook page and Auto-caller to send out messages to help families and staff keep informed on how we are handling this unique situation.”

They will continue to assess the pandemic situation and learning alternatives during their twice-weekly virtual administrative meetings.

www.cvrcaz.com Our facility is supported through generous contributions by Freeport-McMoRan, a proud member of the Globe/Miami Community.

“As a district, we are shifting, largely, to online instruction, but we have to maintain a physical packet program in order to provide services to kids who can’t get onto the Internet,” explains Glen Lineberry, principal of Miami High School. “We’re going to use this opportunity to load information into online course modules because, with all the reports saying this virus is going to be with us a while, even when we come back into school, we’re likely to have kids who are required to isolate or quarantine for extended periods of time. So we’re going to use this as an opportunity to develop a parallel delivery system for our students.”

The district assembled learning packets for kids K-8 that they will be getting one week at a time, either when meals are delivered or at other designated pickup locations. They also sent out surveys with the meals and to all students through their student email addresses to find out who has Internet access, how much data they have, and what devices they have.

“So if a senior is required to do a 10page paper, for example, I really don’t want them doing it on a phone,” says Sherry Dorathy, superintendent for Miami Unified, adding that the district has enough Chromebooks to make sure each senior has one so they can get their work done, graduate, and move on with their lives.

The course modules Lineberry referenced are available even via phone with a dataset, making it available to a few more students. “We’re going to have to redo some of our pedagogies because even a student with a computer and Internet access at home may not have a printer or the capacity to scan work back to us. So we’re going to have to change up a lot of our teaching.”

How things proceed in April and May will be guided by what the district learns about its students’ Internet access.

“But I think we’ll be delivering the learning opportunity – both online and physically – through these packets for offcampus learning. And we’ll be learning as we go,” Lineberry says. “We’ll be learning what works and what kind of student responses we’re getting. I’m 100 percent confident that we can deliver the learning opportunities. What I don’t know is how we engage the students. A big chunk of teaching is classroom management, and we’re going to have to learn how to replicate some of that.”

Lineberry sees off-campus learning being used on an ongoing basis, even after physical classes resume. “We still have students who miss school, or students who didn’t quite understand something in class. They would be able to use the online facility to get that information… But let me be really clear: there’s not an online instructional system that yet exists that beats a good teacher in the classroom with the kids. We teach a lot more than just academic content, and I don’t know how we’re going to deliver that online.”

“There are a lot of working pieces with this, and once we get more guidance, we’ll be prepared to move forward with whatever that looks like,” says Dorathy.

Globe Unified School District During the week of March 16, GUSD mobilized and certified 13 feeding spots throughout the Globe, Miami, and San Carlos school districts and served more than 1,500 breakfasts and lunches. That meal service will be continued for the duration of the mandated school closure.

“We know we don’t have 100 percent of our families with technology access in their homes,” says GUSD Superintendent Jerry Jennex. “We will be working on a digital platform, with things posted on social media, on the district’s website, etc., and for those who don’t have technology available, they will be using pen and pencil, paper methods with lesson packets being developed.”

Like other districts, GUSD will deliver those packets when they deliver lunches.

“But we may have to go so far as to run our buses with all those materials and deliver them to each bus stop to make See Off-Campus Learning, page 23

continued from page 22 sure that every kid gets an opportunity (for learning),� explains Jennex. “Right now, we’re only doing 13 bus stops, so we may not get close to some kids. So we may have to use all of our buses to transport those packets.�

Beyond that, Jennex says educators are continuing to be as proactive as they can. “Teachers will be doing a lot of work from home trying to stay in contact with their students. And we’re still doing our best to live up to our mission of ‘Capturing Hearts, Empowering Minds.’�

New Normal in Education Leaves Unanswered Questions “The Arizona State Legislature has passed the Enabling Authorization, relieving us of the need to make up these days, provided we’re pushing out this alternative approach,� explains Lineberry. The latest update, ordering schools closed through the end of the year, poses challenges to the school systems.

According to Lineberry: “Let’s say we put out these packets and shift to a lot of online learning. What do I do with the kid who just doesn’t participate?

Do I flunk him? Do I require him to go to summer school, if we have summer school? What do I do with a senior who was in the process of catching up credits and was probably going to graduate this spring? Do I graduate her?

There may be guidance coming out on this, but there’s not yet, and there’s an awful lot of completely unanswered questions.� u

His passion is for mixed martial arts.

By age six, Jared was a wrestler. Later, a boxer. He experienced many victories and encountered extreme lows. Fatigue, in the act of sparring. “Being tired and getting punched in the face is the worst feeling ever,� says Jared.

It’s what drives him to run.

The Training He runs on his lunch breaks – 3 miles up the hill in Nike Zoom running shoes.

Usually 10-15 miles after work. He goes to the Gilbert hills for sprints, does six mile loops around Tempe Town Lake. Close to the event, he trains most in the San Tan mountains where the terrain is similar to the race track.

One thing consistent about Jared’s running is that it’s “always solo.� “Train for loneliness,� he says. “I’m a blackbelt in that.�

Jared credits running for calming him and benefitting “every part of life.� “I find a park, get out of my car, run 10 miles or so,� he says nonchalantly, “I feel better, emotionally and physically.�

Running strengthens, he says, “the will to push forward.� “An obstacle can be overcome,� he asserts. “When it gets uncomfortable, that’s when most people quit, but that’s when it’s just getting started.�

The Move to Arizona “It was a shocker,� says Jared, “I arrived in July.

He made the move cross-country in 2011, at age 19, with a new girlfriend and a plan to live with her mother. The adventure left him heartbroken, laid off, and living out of his car in the valley. He bounced from one construction job to another, working as an electrician. He rented a room on Craigslist and used his car to drive for LYFT. A housemate told him about Freeport and the copper mines. He applied. A month later, on a visit home to New Jersey, he got a call from Freeport-McMoran.

Could he be there for an interview on Wednesday? Yes.

Jared got in his car and drove three days straight across the country and into the interview. He got the job and works for FMI as an Industrial electrician apprentice. Nearly a year later, gratitude for his boss Manny flows freely from him.

Beyond Limits Looking for his next challenge, a buddy suggested Jared try running a marathon. It seemed “too normal� for Jared, but got him researching longdistance running events. He signed up for the Beyond Limits Ultra (BLU) 100-miler in California, Apr. 2-5.

It will be his first running race ever.

The race runs through wildlife preserves in the San Jacinto Mountains, at a “comfortable� altitude of 4500 ft. There is a 32-hour time limit for completing the 100-mile race. Participants are provided campsites close to the course, but Jared’s not planning to sleep. “If I stop, the muscles seize up,� he explains. “It’s better to keep moving.�

Jared is aware of the risks in the

attempt, to his body and life, and takes them seriously. The run, he says, requires constant awareness of what could go wrong, mentally, physically. To know the symptoms and how to respond.

For most, running a 100 miles without rest would seem impossible.

But Jared knows that what is impossible, is temporary. It’s tattooed on his left forearm. The idea keeps him going when he hits a wall, and is affirmed each time he breaks through to a new level. “I’m thinking of it as a 10-mile run, 10 times,� he says with a smile.

The Plan Changes On March 16th, Jared learned via email that the BLU multi-day race was being postponed until September.

Disappointed, but not deterred from his goal, Jared will forge ahead. “Trained too hard to not do it,� he says; it’s just a matter of when. “Not waiting until September,� he texts, “I’ll find another race.� u
