rystal Ellsworth has danced on stage with the biggest names in music, starred in a feature film, and is awaiting release of her latest project – Lethal Love Letter, a film shot in 14 days in the heat of a pandemic.

“I knew I wanted to pursue dance,” Krystal says, “but I didn’t know I could make a career of it until I went to college.”

Considered by some “too sweet” to compete in the cutthroat world of women’s dance, Krystal has been making a living in Los Angeles for the past 15 years as a professional actor/dancer. She got her start at a dance studio in downtown Globe.

Krystal Ellsworth takes center stage in the movie Heartbeats, which was filmed in Mumbai, India.

BY PATRICIA SANDERS

Kale has become a beloved staple for good reasons. The trend started more than a decade ago and appears to be here to stay. If you’re new to kale, looking for some fresh ideas – or think you don’t like it – we offer a smorgasbord of tips and facts.

Kinds of Kale:

Kale comes in many kinds.

These are the most popular: Curly kale: frilly and versatile, can go in salads, soups, and smoothies Lacinato kale: also called dinosaur kale or Tuscan kale, dark green and rumpled, tenderer than curly kale, great in soups and stews, also works in salads Red Russian kale: oak-leaf shaped, more tender and sweet

than regular kale, perfect for salads Chinese kale: also called Chinese broccoli, often used for stir-frys, good steamed or boiled, can substitute for broccoli Siberian kale: a cold-hardy variety with large ruffled leaves, best cooked Salad Savoy: ornamental kale often seen in garden beds Amazing Kale, Continued on page 27

Meeting the Challenge

BY PATTI DALEY

“Nothing can prepare you for Globe,” says Chief of Police Dale Walters, a big man in charge of a big mission:

To provide security and confidence within our community Through a dedicated commitment To service, integrity and professionalism The biggest challenge for GPD, day in and day out, is simply the number of calls. GPD responds to about 11K calls per year; slightly down during the pandemic. In the past 2 ½ years, police calls included a mass shooting downtown, 5 fatalities on the highway, deaths of infants by neglect, accidental deaths, and other significant crimes.

GPD serves not only Globe’s 7200 residents, but 20K from surrounding areas that come into Globe for services, and the many who drive through. Chief Walters is familiar with the pace. He worked in Page, Arizona for 4-5 years, a town smaller than Globe that swells to 150K in the summer with the flow of tourists.

“I learned a lot there,” Chief Walters says. “You really had to deal with a variety of things.”

OPINION

MAYOR’S MONTHLY REPORT AL GAMEROS CITY OF GLOBE Covid Update And Vaccines

DEAR GRADUATE

BY PATRICIA SANDERS

The root meaning of the word graduation is to step forward. When you graduate, you’ve taken a step ahead, or up. It’s a big, meaningful step, and you’ve worked hard, so you rightfully celebrate and receive lots of congratulations, and hopefully take a vacation to recuperate.

It’s funny that the very first big step most people take is a literal step. Most babies learn to walk before they learn to talk, so for most people, your first step is your first big achievement. One small step for a baby is a giant step in their development. After that, life will never be the same again – not for them, and not for their parents.

Human beings started to walk upright about 4 million years ago. We aren’t the only species to walk on two legs – bipedal locomotion – but the list is short. Kangaroos, wallabies, and other macropods, along with a few other mammal species, are bipedal, but they hop, not walk. Some animals, like lizards and horses, become bipedal at times for certain reasons, like to run or fight. But only humans, gibbons (another ape), and birds walk by raising one foot at a time. So when a young child learns to walk, it’s a clear sign that this little person is well on the way to becoming either a human, a gibbon, or a bird.

But the thing about learning to walk is that the whole idea is to keep going. A baby doesn’t take its first step and then sit down on its rump and call it a day. The big thing that the baby accomplished wasn’t really to take its first step, although that’s what we celebrate. The big thing was that it learned to walk. The baby graduated into being a toddler. Now that the kid can walk, they probably won’t stop for the rest of their life, unless an injury or disease interferes.

Same goes for graduating from kindergarten, elementary school, middle school, high school, college, or any of the other steps that people take in their lives. As with a child’s first step, we celebrate the event, the step itself – but the real accomplishment is what led up to it.

A baby who takes their first step has learned how it’s done. By graduating from school, you’ve learned how that’s done – how to accomplish a big, significant goal that changes your life.

It takes a lot of time, which means patience and determination and perseverance.

It takes work, but not just on your part – you had teachers and tutors and other students, probably parents, siblings, and friends who played a part in your everyday work toward this accomplishment.

There were people who inspired you, encouraged you, and motivated you.

And it took courage and commitment to stay on track – especially during a global pandemic.

It took believing in yourself and believing in your goal.

All these are platitudes that get mentioned and praised in every graduation speech – but they’re real, too, and by graduating from school you’ve proved you have them. You deserve to be proud.

You built up these qualities of character during school, and they will serve you in everything you do later.

They’re like muscles you’ve developed.

Those qualities and strengths are the real reward for getting through school.

The diploma is just the icing on the cake.

So now, you not only have made a big, significant step. You’ve learned how to take a step like that. And just like you wouldn’t expect a baby to take one step and then sit down and rest on its laurels for the rest of its life, why would you, now that you’ve learned how to do something big?

I mean, look at Dave Kunst – he walked all the way around the world, and was the first person ever to do that.

Or George Meegan – he walked almost 20,000 miles, from the southern tip of South America to Prudhoe Bay in Alaska, and while he was at it, he got married, had two children, and wrote a book.

What I mean is, it’s a big, big world, and there’s so much to do in it. Even Globe-Miami is a big world, so full of opportunity when you look around.

And you’ve learned how to do big things.

So when I say keep taking steps, I don’t necessarily mean literally. I mean, keep doing big things, now that you know how.

So what’s next?

And congratulations!

With about 2.3 million Arizonans fully vaccinated, approximately 35% of the population, there has been a slowdown of vaccinations being administered. It was anticipated that Arizona would have about 60-70% of the people fully vaccinated in order to reach herd immunity. For the first time since the end of February 2021, Arizona recorded 1,000 new cases in twenty-four hours on April 30th. The daily average of new cases for April was 21,379 every 24 hours and 361 new deaths for the month.

There appears to be some light at the end of the tunnel to return completely back to normal, but this virus is not completely over.

The CDC still recommends the wearing of mask indoors and social distancing.

Gila county documented 339 new cases in April with 46 new deaths. The Globe-Miami community documented 12 new cases for the month with 5 of them currently active.

The number of vaccinated residents in Gila county continue to be much higher that the state average. The population for Gila county is 53,598 residents. The percent of the eligible population vaccinated with one dose is 68.7%. The percent of eligible population that have received both doses is 59.3%. Adults in Gila county over 65 years of age that have received at least one dose is 81.2%. These are impressive numbers, thanks to our local Gila County Health Department. I urge all of our residents who have not yet been vaccinated and are hesitant, to consider getting vaccinated.

The Gila County Health Department is now offering FREE Covid-19 Testing at their site at 5515 S. Apache Avenue in Globe. You can call or text to schedule an appointment at 928-961-1284.

Please continue to pray for the country of India as they battle this virus with a disastrous number of cases and deaths with 400k new cases and 3600 deaths daily.

Projects In Progress The Connies Bridge project has reached 90% completion of the design phase. The next step will move the project into the construction phase with the advertisement for bids. This project is being funded from the State budget at a total amount of $2.8 million. The City Council was presented with two options for the lighting of the bridge.

The recommendation was to move forward with lighting on the siderails and two acorn lights at each entrance of the bridge.

Council approved to utilize a cooperative agreement with Pinal county and Cactus Asphalt to complete various seal coat and asphalt projects in different locations of each of the districts. One of the projects is to pour a 2 inch mill and fill on the road between Taco Bell east and the Speedway store. The total amount approved is $750,000.00 that will be funded from the HURF one half cent excise tax.

The replacement of the sidewalk at the 100 block of East Mesquite is close to completion. Many sidewalks in the

5

community have been identified and prioritized in the order of the most severe and will be addressed as funding is available. The Mesquite sidewalk was one of the worst and was completely removed and a new and wider one was poured. The street will remain a one way, but the parking will be changed to parallel from angle parking decreasing parking spots by two.

This is to help satisfy the distance required for emergency apparatus. The intersection at Mesquite and Broad will also be turned into a four-way stop to help with the safety of pedestrians and slow traffic down.

Structural Preservation Systems presented Council with an updated proposal for the rehabilitation of the Globe Community Center Pool. The cost for the rehabilitation is $1,080,000.00 with a life expectancy of 25-30 years and can be completed in 6 months making the pool available for next summer. There were comments from the public in support of the project and against it. Evelyn Vargas from the Cobre Valley Aquatic Center committee also gave an update on the status of their project. Similar Aquatic Centers have been built in other cities such as Florence and Coolidge, but their financial status and population is much higher than Globe at this time. Direction was given by council to add the rehabilitation of the Community Center Pool to this year’s upcoming budget process and to seek out funding assistance from stakeholders to help offset some of the costs for the project. This project will provide recreation opportunities sooner than a long-term project like the Aquatic Center for our community by next summer. The hope is to be able to support both projects in the future.

Effective May 3rd, the city lobby will open for the outside public to enter the building to conduct business. Barrier protection has been installed at all the counters and anyone entering the building will still be required to wear masks. The Council chambers will be open for meetings for members of the public and masks required. The Library is open to the public with a limit of 10 people at any time. The museum is open to the public and will return to weekend hours in the future.

The Active Adult Center will reopen after June 1st with a limited number of persons allowed for inside dining. In all these facilities social distancing and face masks are required.

Upcoming Events May 7, 2021: First Friday Historic Downtown (all day) May 11, 2021: Copper Hills Family Advocacy Center Grand Opening (11am-1pm) May 13, 2021: Chamber Mixer at the Waggin Vineyard (6pm-8pm) May 15-16, 2021: Globe Grand Prix Race May 29, 2021: Silver King Scramble 50K Run From Miami to Globe June 5, 2021: Rotary Round Mountain 5K Sunrise Challenge

CELEBRATING POWER ELITE DANCE ACADEMY’S FIFTY-YEAR PAS DE DEUX WITH GLOBE-MIAMI “Dancing at Power Elite was one of the greatest experiences of my life ...

I will always be grateful to Tina McCarey and her staff for their dedication to keep the art of dance alive in that sleepy little copper mining town.”

– AARON TARANGO

Shortly after she opened the school, Lynn’s enrollment swelled from 50 to 350. A year later, Suzanne Lederman, a prima ballerina from New York City who happened to be vacationing in Arizona, fell in love with the area and decided to move there, becoming one of the school’s longest-tenured teachers, along with Donna Fountain.

Over the years, the studio underwent various changes—a new location, the addition of gymnastics, jazz, and contemporary dance in addition to ballet and tap—but through it all, Tina continued with dance and gymnastics at her mom’s school. After graduating, Power Elite dancers perform at Bullion Plaza during the Miami Fiesta in 2016.

A Look at Covid-19: APRIL/May 2021

USA VIEW

By the Numbers

✦ As of May 3, 2021, there had been roughly 33.2 million cases and 590,000 deaths from COVID-19 in the United States. The country saw a surge in the second week in April, when case numbers reached a new peak of 70,000 per day, above the peak of July, which was 67,000 cases per day.

GLOBE-MIAMI VIEW

✦ Michigan experienced a steep increase in case numbers during the first part of April, but the numbers ticked down again as the month went on. ✦ Claims for unemployment benefits continued at massive rates.

The week ending April 23, 553,000 Americans applied for benefits.

Before the pandemic, a typical week saw below 220,000 claims. ✦ Globally, weekly case numbers reached a new record. The second week in April, the world had 5.24 million new cases. The previous record had been 5.04 million cases in one week (in January).

WORLD VIEW

World Coronavirus Hotspot: India

✦ In the second half of April, India saw the beginning of a spike in cases. By the 27th, the country was registering more than 300,000 new cases every day. The State Department advised U.S. citizens to leave India because of the strain the pandemic was placing on India’s healthcare system.

ARIZONA VIEW

✦ By the end of April, major hospitals were turning patients away because they were running out of oxygen. People were standing in lines up to 12 hours to get portable oxygen cylinders, and paying upwards of $1,000 for them.

USA VIEW

✦ A video showing two men from southern India carrying the body of their deceased mother on the back of a scooter – because it wasn’t possible to get an ambulance – went viral. Crematoria were running day and night, and the country was facing a shortage of firewood to fuel them.

VACCINATIONS ✦ By April 20, more than 200 million coronavirus vaccination shots had been administered. It was President Biden’s 92nd day in office. ✦ On a single day in April – the 10th – 4.6 million people received a Covid jab. By May 3, more than 104 million Americans had been fully vaccinated, equal to 31.6% of the total population. Nearly 70% of seniors were fully vaccinated. ✦ President Biden ordered that by April 19, all states should make every adult eligible to receive the vaccine. However, a CNN/Quinnipiac poll found that more than 1 in 3 young adults said they don’t plan to get vaccinated, and overall, 1 in 4 adults plan to skip the vaccine. ✦ The Johnson & Johnson vaccine was put on a pause, out of an “abundance of caution,” due to a few cases of blood clotting, which could be fatal. Fifteen people had blood clotting issues out of 8 million people vaccinated with the J&J jab. The use of the J&J vaccine was resumed two weeks later after a federal panel investigated its risks. ✦ The B.1.1.7 (“U.K.”) variant became dominant in the United States in June. This variant is 50% more contagious than other ones and is now causing more than 1 in 4 infections in the United States. In particular, this variant is more transmissible for young people and appears to be connected to recent outbreaks in day care centers and youth sports. ✦ April 27, the CDC updated its guidance to say that people who have been fully vaccinated no longer need to wear masks outdoors, except in large gatherings. The CDC had already changed its guidance on travel to say that Americans who have been fully vaccinated can now travel domestically and internationally “at low risk to themselves.”

However, by April 23, the State Department had put 33 countries on a “do not travel” advisory list due to Covid risks.

Globe High School Graduating Class of 2021, you will go into the GHS history book as one of the most resilient, courageous, and engaged classes ever. On behalf of the staff at GHS, I would like to let you know how proud we all are of each one of you and wish you the best that life has to offer.

It has been an honor and a privilege to serve as your principal. You have the knowledge to accomplish all you set your mind to.

Congratulations “TIGERS”!

R.C. Armenta GHS Principal

TO MY DEAR CLASS OF 2021 I know I say this all the time, but you’re going to have to hear me say it once more. You will ALWAYS have a special place in my heart, because I started at GHS the same year you did. I am pretty sure I was just as nervous of a first-year counselor as you all were in your first year of high school. However, I vowed that I was going to do anything and everything I could to keep you going and help you make it to graduation and beyond. I now know that I had it all backwards. It wasn’t me keeping you all going. You kept ME going!

This has by far been the hardest year since I started, but every single day you inspire me with your resilience, kindness, humor, and love. Thank you for sharing that with me and letting me be part of your journey. I can’t wait to see what the future holds for all of you!

With love, Ms.D., School Counselor

Congratulations to Early Recipients of State FFA Degree This year’s group of seniors is such a hardworking, focused, engaged, enthusiastic, and fun group of students! I am so excited to see where their futures take them!

Four of our seniors this year will be receiving the high honor of being awarded their State FFA Degrees later this summer.

Kaitlyn Oddonetto, Kaitlyn Attaway, Hannah Dalmolin, and Hannah Salcido. To qualify for this degree, a student must have been actively involved in FFA for at least two years, invested funds or spent several hours completing a supervised agricultural project, have an excellent academic record, and have participated in several hours of community service. There is a rigorous application process to determine which candidates meet these high standards.

Hannah Dalmolin, Hannah Salcido, and Kaitlyn Oddonetto are also on this year’s FFA officer team, which is a significant commitment and responsibility.

They have overcome so many challenges this past year, and I could not be more proud of them!

CLASS OF 2021

MIAMI HIGH SCHOOL VANDALS PRINCIPAL’S LETTER Dear Class of 2021, “Lately it seems to me/What a long, strange trip it’s been” is a line from one of my favorite songs, the Grateful Dead’s 1970 Truckin’. Hard to find a better description of our last year together bouncing from distance learning to hybrid, back through both, and finally to our fourth quarter of everyone on campus every day.

Through it all we stuck to our knitting – all of our classes met every day, our sports teams played whenever AIA rules permitted, we maintained the safety protocols needed to protect our students, our staff and our families – which is what being Vandals is all about. A hundred years ago your predecessors at Miami High School chose to call themselves Vandals because of their drive, their focus and their single-minded pursuit of the things they found important. The Class of ’21 didn’t sack Rome like the original Vandals in 455 CE, but you did come through the worst pandemic in a century and are ready to go out into the world.

I’m proud of you.

You persevered through a challenging time. No senior class has ever spent their final year learning online, or wearing masks everywhere they go. In fact, our dress code actually prohibited masks at school until we required them this year!

You persisted in doing difficult things even when you didn’t know when the difficulties would melt away. Some of you lost family members or friends, all of you lost a chunk of your high school fun, and yet you persevered.

That’s an admirable thing.

It’s also what will stand you in good stead as you go out into the world. There will be people who expect less of you because you’re the “COVID generation”, thinking that missing some school means you missed growing up. Nothing could be further from the truth. You are tougher, more resilient, more equipped to succeed in an uncertain world than any class before you.

What you’ve learned at Miami will go with you. Your network of family and friends will support you. And you’ll always be Vandals.

God bless.

CLASS OF 2021

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE CLASS OF 2021!

PRINCIPAL’S LETTER It is my sincerest hope that the 2021 San Carlos High School graduating class has nothing but the fondest of memories of their time at SCHS. Their freshman, sophomore and junior years were filled with activities, friendships, great teachers and memorable experiences that no pandemic can ever take away. Even if their senior year has not gone as planned, I believe their time as a Brave was one of joy, engagement and deep meaning. Excelling academically was just one of the goals reached by our students; they were also encouraged to keep alive the spirit of their Apache culture and traditions.

This past year all students went through a once-a-century event.

I know deep down that our Brave seniors will come out of this stronger with an even better understanding of themselves and their ability to withstand tremendous challenges and adversity.

Resilience is a trait that we covet for our students and living through a global pandemic can be a transformational experience.

Through their engagement and determination in fulfilling their responsibilities of attending virtual classes and earning the necessary 23 credits for graduation, our seniors have demonstrated the type of resilience that is sure to lead to success in a postpandemic world.

The students of the senior class have goals and dreams that will lead them to community colleges, four year universities, vocational schools, military enlistments and the work force. As they have proven, they will bounce back, work hard and, eventually, become leaders in their chosen field and in their community. I urge all of our graduating seniors to use this past year as a means of motivation to achieve their goals through persistence, grit and a renewed sense of self-confidence; all while employing large quantities of empathy and a working knowledge of the importance of self-care. Each student has the capability of becoming a truly empowered, culturally responsive, global Nnee.

I wish nothing but the absolute best for all of the San Carlos High School graduating class of 2021. To our seniors I would like to say that I am so proud of you and it was my honor to get to know you and thank you for letting me into your lives, even for just a little while. I love you and will miss you and look forward to hearing about the great things that you will accomplish.

Hopkins, Porsha King Jr., John There isn’t a one-size-fits-all postsecondary path for every high school student, so it is critical for them to be prepared for success on whatever path they take after graduating – whether they enter the workforce, join the military, or continue their education.

Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs prepare students to enter the workforce with the academic and vocational skills they need to compete successfully in the job market. CTE courses typically include competency-based learning.

Our Vision: Ensure a dynamic workforce by fully developing every student’s career and academic potential.

Our Mission: Prepare Arizona students for workforce success and continuous learning.

Throughout the school year 2020-2021, CTE educators at San Carlos High School became extremely creative and adapted their coursework to allow for remote learning. Many have combined online live classes, simulation activities and athome projects to teach new concepts and prepare students for post-secondary pathways.

A Huge Shout Out to the following students who successfully completed a CTE Program!

CLASS OF 2021

San Carlos High School BRAVES CLASS HIGHLIGHTS The San Carlos High School Class of 2021 has made history. Despite spending an entire year attending school virtually from home, they were still able to achieve academically and culturally while staying on track to graduate on time. As a result the students were able to show their ability to adapt and to be resilient.

Highlights for the Class of 2021 began early on when they joined the virtual Senior Orientation Day, where they discovered what they needed to accomplish as a graduating senior. The Student Council was quickly established through online campaigns and elections.

The bond between the administration, teachers and students remained strong when the Senior Student Council created StuCo BRAVEtv Announcements that first ran daily, then bi-weekly, right before the live zoom classes. The Student Council was able to keep the positive feelings going by creating activities for Homecoming Week, as well as celebrations for the Fall Festival, Red Ribbon Week and Christmas Special. Another highlight was Senior Picture Day, which provided some of the staff and students an important opportunity to see each other in person, socially distanced, of course.

The Senior Class was invited to attend in-person classes for five days in May to take their final exams. After each period, the fantastic 12th grade teachers facilitated fun activities, thus leaving the seniors feeling happy and glad they had come to campus.

Their high school days may have come to an end and

they may have faced the greatest crisis in education, but because of the Class of 2021’s resiliency and the hard work of their teachers, this year can be counted a smashing success and one that has surely brought many life lessons that will not soon be forgotten. So here’s to the Class of 2021, continue to shine on!

ACKNOWLEDGING OUR STUDENT COUNCIL LEADERS Braves are resilient – and this year’s STUCO officers and members showed what that means. SCHS is truly proud of their achievements.

President: Annabell Aunquoe, Vice-President: Cameron Norman, Secretary: Palicio Ramos, Treasurer: Shania Cassa, Members: TayAndre Wright, Jack Moses, Michael Thompson, Makenna Starr, Shanaya Victor, Kayani Case and Samantha Stauffer This dynamic group of student leaders organized fun and motivating activities such as Fall Festival, Pre-Thanksgiving Week Celebration, Red Ribbon Week, Christmas Special, Pre-Valentine’s Dress-Up Day and the Teacher Appreciation Week Celebration Weekly grade level attendance contests to encourage peers to attend classes Pre-recorded STUCO announcements played in virtual classes, highlighting the mission and goals of the school as well as academic and social activities.

PALICIO RAMOS

SHANIA CASSA

These student leaders served as role models for attendance and engagement, and developed their own leadership qualities through their work. With passion and commitment, they did their very best to inspire school spirit at SCHS through these unprecedented times.

Go Braves.

AVID 12 This senior class was the first to participate in SCHS’s new AVID program - and as a result, all six seniors who took part in the program will be attending college in the fall. AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) is a college readiness program that helps students develop the skills to attain their goals, whether they plan to attend college, enter the military, or join the workforce.

AVID begins in freshman year, helping students learn good study habits. Sophomores and juniors focus on building vocabulary and essay writing. By the time students are seniors, they’re ready to apply to colleges and universities, with scholarships in hand to fund their tuition.

Congratulations to the AVID seniors of the class of 2021, and good luck in achieving all your goals!

*In honor of History Preservation Month, here is a piece we did over a decade ago on the effort which went into saving the old Globe Cafe.

In memory of...

GLOBE CAFÉ

BY LINDA GROSS

The old Globe Café at the corner of Broad and Bailey has been undergoing renovations since 2005, when fate and investor/owner James Dowly stepped in to rescue the building from becoming another casualty of neglect. At the time, anyone looking at the building might have been forgiven for thinking it was too far gone. A large crack running through the back of the building was only the most visible sign which suggested the whole building was just one good shake away from crumbling. The year was 2005, and after years of accumulated back taxes and deterioration, the City was considering taking over the property for back taxes and taking a sledge hammer to it due to the liability it presented in its current condition.

That is when Kip Culver, Globe’s Mainstreet Director stepped in and argued the case for saving the building first to a local investor, and then to the You can see where the seams of the old and new come together, reminding us that City. A deal was struck and the building preserving history is a choice we can make. was saved. The local investor, Tommy Thompson was the one who tore off the back of the building and rebuilt the back wall brick-by-brick. He then sold it to James Dowly a year later. It is Dowly and his friend, Jim Ohl, a contractor who has worked off and on with James for nearly 25 years who took on the full renovation of the old building.

Since then, the building has been gutted from top to bottom and everything replaced including; the electrical, plumbing, interior walls, ceilings, doors, windows… and roof. The bricks have been re-pointed, and a tiled outdoor patio installed in the The Globe Café is recessed entryway. A professional was brought in to ‘refresh” the old Max Latin testament to what cigar sign on the side of the building, being good stewardship careful to match the original patina and can mean for a building, colors so the sign would not look “new”, simply fresh. a historic district and but The history of the building goes back to a community. the early 1900’s when it was originally built as a bar. Later in the mid-1900’s it housed Max Latin’s Men’s store and finally it was sold to the Globe Café which served the community for another 45 years before closing. Purchased by an investor over in Europe, it sat empty for years before coming under the scrutiny of the City and its close brush with an ignoble end.

Today, it is on the verge of a new life as a historic building with modern bones.

The upstairs contains three small studio apartments. While the wood floors came out of a salvage project involving a 1905 apartment building, the appliances and the hot water heaters are all state of the art- 2008 models. The glass is double pane for insulation and the apartments have central heating and cooling. Not bad upgrades for an old building! The main floor is being prepped for a commercial tenant and the sound of public chatter may once again grace the interiors as plans for a new coffee/ sandwich shop get underway.

“Owning old buildings is a huge responsibility,” Dowly explains. “These are not collectibles…not like blown glass or butterflies stuck on a board…The impact of these structures on a community is critical. When you buy a building that looks well and people are using it – there is something healthy about that. But the reverse is also true, as he points out, “…when you walk by a building that has graffiti, broken windows, crumbling facade. You don’t feel very good. “ When asked if he was considering any other projects in the area, Dowley referred back to the responsibility which comes with each and every project.

It has taken him nearly three years and close to $300,000 to bring this project full circle. “Having just one (building)…and doing it well,” says Dowley, “that’s important to me.” u

May 2021 hold the leaf up upside-down – stalk pointing up – and run a sharp knife down each side of the stalk.

• To soften up tough raw kale, rub it down! Massaging the leaves to break up the cellulose causes a magical transformation into silky, sweeter kale.Dusting with salt or adding a light dressing of olive oil, lemon juice and salt while you rub it down will speed up the process.

Massage it with your fingers by the handful. And don’t overdo it – massage just until the kale begins to wilt, about one or two minutes. Then let the kale rest for at least five minutes before serving. Tender baby kale doesn’t need massaging.

• You can freeze kale! Just destem, chop, wash, dry, and pack in freezer bags. It lasts in the freezer for a few weeks, or up to a year if you steam or blanch it for two or three minutes before freezing.

SOUP OR SALAD?

Peter Bigfoot and his Reevis Mountain Farm is legendary for Growing fresh produce including kale.

AMAZING KALE, Continued from page 1 beds or table decorations, coarse but edible and often mellower in flavor than curly kale, great as a colorful garnish or interesting addition to a salad Redbor kale: an ornamental – but edible – hybrid with reddish leaves that can turn almost violet in cool weather, excellent for color on your plate

TO COOK OR NOT TO COOK? You can saute, bake, roast, boil or stew kale, add it raw to salads and smoothies, or juice it.

Cooking reduces kale’s bitterness – but also decreases its nutritional value. To preserve kale’s abundant antioxidants and minerals, steaming is the best cooking method. Dr. Beth Basham recommends mixing it up – prepare your kale in a variety of ways, both cooked and raw. And combine it with healthy fats such as olive oil or coconut oil to give it a nutritional boost. Avoid overcooking – this will make your kale bitter.

PREP TIPS • Buy crisp, fresh-looking kale and use it soon – as it sits in your fridge, it gets more bitter.

• Always remove the center vein or stalk – it’s edible but can be tough. Add it to your compost heap, chop the stalks into small pieces for soup or stew, or make kale stem pesto! An easy way to remove the stalk:

Kale makes a delicious, nutritious addition to many soup recipes – toss a handful in at least 10 minutes before the soup is done. But don’t cook longer than about 25 minutes, to keep the kale from turning mushy.

Kale serves as the base for many delicious salads. Use baby kale as is – just give it a rinse and a trip through the salad spinner. For mature kale, massage the leaves to tenderize them (see Prep Tips). Devein and chop or tear the leaves, then rinse and dry.

Vinaigrettes work great on kale because the acidity helps make the leaves even more tender. Or try a light, garlicky tahini dressing. Just avoid creamy dressings, such as blue cheese, which often don’t combine well with kale’s heft. Instead, top a dressed salad with pecorino or parmesan.

Dress It Up! Try these favorite dressings for your kale salad:

Green Tahini Dressing (Cookie+Kate): 1/3 cup olive oil 1/3 cup lime juice 1 small jalapeno, chopped 2 tablespoons tahini 1 ½ teaspoons honey or maple syrup 1 clove garlic, chopped handful fresh cilantro ½ teaspoon ground cumin ¼ teaspoon sea salt or to taste pinch red pepper flakes (optional) – Combine all ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. If the flavor is too strong, add a little olive oil and reblend.

Lemon Dijon Dressing (Cookie+Kate) ¼ cup olive oil 2 tablespoons lemon zest 1 tablespoon maple syrup 1 teaspoons Dijon mustard 1 teaspoon lemon zest 1/8 teaspoon salt ground black pepper to taste – Combine all ingredients in a bowl and whisk until the mixture emulsifies.

Kale leaves turn a brilliant green when massaged, and make an excellent summer salad. Courtesy photo.

Cilantro Lime Dressing (Love & Lemons) ½ cup olive oil ¼ cup lime juice 2 teaspoons maple syrup or honey 2 cups fresh cilantro 1 clove garlic ½ teaspoon ground coriander ½ teaspoon sea salt 1 avocado (optional) – Place all except the olive oil in a food processor or blender until combined. Then drizzle in the olive oil, with the blade running. Blend until smooth.

KALE Q&A Q. Why kale?

A. Kale is incredibly versatile, delicious when properly prepared, and one of the most nutritious foods there is – full of fiber, vitamins C and K, calcium, and lutein, which benefits eyesight. Kale has been shown to protect against cancer and heart disease. It’s available year round and easy to prepare and store.

Q. Can you eat too much kale?

A. Probably not, unless you’re having multiple servings of kale per day, or if you have hypothyroidism. Raw kale contains small amounts of a substance called goitrogens, which can cause problems with thyroid function. You would have to eat a lot of kale for this to become an issue – but if you do eat it every day, cooking your kale should solve the problem. Kale also contains oxalates, which, if eaten in large amounts, can lead to kidney stones. If your doctor has told you to avoid oxalates, use kale with moderation.

KEY COMBOS Super versatile, kale goes great in a variety of dishes.

Here are a few classic combinations to try: • Peppers, tomatoes, zucchini and carrots • Butternut squash, red onions, roasted pine nuts and a garlic tahini dressing • Tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers and olives for a Mediterranean twist • Walnuts and pecorino cheese • Apples, fennel and goat cheese • Roasted beets, winter squash and broccoli • With cremini mushrooms in a stroganoff

KALE CHIP TIPS These easy-to-prepare oven-roasted treats pack loads of nutrition and make a delicious, super-healthy substitute for junk snacks. Just devein, chop or tear, rinse and dry your favorite kind of kale. Massage with olive oil, toss with salt – and, optionally, chili powder, cayenne, paprika, garlic powder or onion powder (or all of the above!) – and spread on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake at 300F for about 25 minutes. Let them cool for at least three minutes before you dive in.

For the crispiest kale chips, follow these suggestions: • Be sure the leaves are totally dry after washing. Any moisture will steam the chips instead of letting them bake.

• Don’t overdo the oil. One cook recommends using no more than ½ tablespoon of oil for each baking sheet of chips. Massage the oil onto the leaves, don’t just mix with a spoon, to fully coat the leaves.

• Resist the temptation to add liquid other than olive oil – any liquid can make the chips soggy.

• Spread in a single layer. Baking them in piles is another way to make soggy chips.

• Turn the sheet about halfway into the baking time.

Flipping the chips isn’t necessary.

• Use a low heat to avoid scorching. 300F seems to work best. Any higher can result in burnt chips. Check the kale near the end of the baking time, as the chips may need more or less than 25 minutes.

• Don’t skip the cooling time. It gives the chips a chance to get crispy, similar to baking cookies.

• Store for up to three days in an airtight container at room temperature. To help them stay crispy, add a spoonful of rice to the container. u

DANCER, Continued from page 1 The Origin Story “Dance is something more motivated in me,” says Krystal, “I knew at a young age that I loved it.”

She first attended Lynn’s School of Dance in Globe, AZ at age 5. Her mother, Sheila Rodriguez, enrolled her in gymnastics; a year later, in ballet and tap dance. Time at the studio led to lifelong friendships for both mother and daughter.

“It was my safe space,” Krystal says. “There was a spirit of community with the girls at the studio. Being together... sweating, working so hard together.”

From age 6-17, Krystal was trained in ballet by Suzanne Lederman.

“She (Lederman) and Tina (McCarey, the owner of the studio), were such incredible dancers. I was so inspired,” Krystal says. “I wanted to be just like them.”

Sophomore year, Krystal and her dancemates traveled to New York to take in musicals and classes with Broadway instructors. The girls from Globe held their own.

“The instructors were really impressed by the training these girls had,” remarks Sheila. “From Globe to New York. That’s something.” she even has a stunt credit on Covid & Current Projects The studio is now the her IMDb profile.

CHIEF OF POLICE, Continued from page 1

A self-described small town guy and huge history buff, Dale Walters grew up in Flagstaff and began his career in 1990 as a Detention Officer at the Coconino County jail. He became a deputy and patrolled boats on Lake Powell. In 1995 he joined the Chandler Police Department (CPD) where he served as a Patrol Officer, Field Training Officer, Narcotics Detective and more. He was promoted to Sergeant, Lieutenant, Commander and in 2016, Assistant Chief of Police for CPD. With 30+ years as a law enforcement officer, his key take-aways are the importance of high standards and moral leadership, the benefits of small agency, and the importance of community partnerships for effective policing.

When he became Chief of Police in September, 2018, he wrote down a list of the things he needed to focus on.

“I stopped when I got to 100,” he says.

Establishing Best Practices “We’re actively involved in accreditation right now,” says Chief Walters. “It is incredibly important to the city because it assures best practices.”

The department has contracted with Edwards & Amato to help update policies and procedures and provide training on legal updates, intervention, de-escalation and mental health.

Challenges include the cost and availability of officers to cover the shift.

In an ideal structure, Chief Walters explains, the department is staffed so officers spend their time on calls, doing paperwork, on training and paid time off.

“When the pie shifts to 85% calls, 10% paperwork and 5% training and pto, the job gets significantly more stressful and unpleasant,” he says.

In September 2020, GPD was fully staffed for the first time in 15 years with 23 full time sworn officers, 1 reserve officer, and 4 civilian personnel. Is it enough? His gut says no.

“But I’m not going to come to you with just my gut; I want to see what it is,” says Chief Walters. “Every matrix I look at tells me we’re about 30% low.”

Officer retention is a challenge. For the 5 years prior, GPD had a 200% turnover rate. Last year it was down to 0%. There has been some attrition since then. Chief Walters aims to fill open positions with local talent; Sergeant Mike Boyd was recruited out of retirement. He hopes to restart the Explorer program and attract local youth into law enforcement.

“The best way to police is with people who know and belong to the community,” he says. “A little empathy goes a long way.”

Building Coalitions “My entire career has been working with other organizations,” Dale remarks.

Chief Walters is currently working with a law enforcement coalition of police

chiefs and county attorneys in the region, Payson to Hayden, Greenlee, San Carlos.

Their goal is to pool resources for training so that they’re “all on the same page and moving in the same direction.”

Chief Walters has engaged Globe PD in the first Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with San Carlos PD. It is the first known MOU between the two forces.

“Chief Binale is a stellar individual and has been great to work with,” says Chief Walters.

He notes strong relationships with the Sheriff and Miami PD and Jerry Jennex, Principal of Globe High School, among others.

“It’s about having conversations. Not trying to be a silo,” he says. “We can’t survive without these partnerships and a willingness to share resources.

Recently, Globe PD, Gila House and Cobre Valley Regional Medical Center (CVRMC) partnered to open the Copper Hills Family Advocacy Center. Adjacent to the ER, the facility provides forensic and counseling services to victims of crime and their families.

“The partnership between the hospital and Globe PD has been phenomenal,” says Evelyn Vargas of CVRMC. Debbie Cox is on the board of both the advocacy center and Gila House. She acknowledges Sergeant Steve Williams and others in the effort, but says Chief Walters ‘got it rolling.’

“He gets it to steps 2, 3 and 4,” Debbie says, “and now our small little community has access to these services.”

Challenges of Mental Health “When it comes to public safety, both fire and police need to have quite a bit of training in mental health because we deal with it quite a bit.” says Chief Walters.

He seeks a full-time mental health coordinator to effectively use the community’s resources to best effect.

Lots of GPD calls involve drugs. Drugs and mental health are interrelated, and according to Chief Walters, the problem for local officers is that they don’t know what the underlying issues are until they are on the scene.

“It’s not one simple issue from an organizational standpoint,” Chief Walters explains. “We have to have the tools in our toolbox.”

Communication between community resources like Community Bridges and the hospital have improved. The city is investing in mental health awareness, deescalation and decision-making training for officers; it was shut down due to Covid last year.

Chief Walters would like to see more officers on the street. Police officers spend most of their time with only 2-3% of the community they serve, he notes, yet knowing your community is incredibly beneficial.

“You can’t train for it,” he says. “You only get it through longevity.”

CHIEF OF POLICE, Continued from page 1

The Man on the Job “Globe has a remarkable history,” remarks Dale Walters. “People here haven’t changed.”

Dale discovered Globe’s true beauty when his teacher/coach wife of more than 30 years encouraged him to come see the view from the track near Copper Rim. They’re building a home a few miles out of town.

In his office, walls are adorned with photos of calvarymen and centuryold Globe, medallions in display cases.

Shelves hold wooden animals, police caps and awards of every sort. There’s a copper tree from Pickle Barrel and a hunk of silver ore. The furniture is rich dark wood and black leather. The chief bought it himself.

“I think it’s important to have a professional atmosphere,” he says.

A new fleet of pursuit-rated SUVs has been acquired for the force. First floor offices have been renovated. The mission statement looms large in each. There are no holding cells at the police station.

Anyone arrested in Globe is booked into the county jail. Downstairs, what was once a “drunk tank” will be converted into an employee lounge.

“I’ll keep these bars,” says the chief, “they’re historic.”

Chief Walters speaks in serious tones with clarity and openness. He pulls back only when questioned about a lawsuit currently pending against the city charging undue force against a mentally ill woman, still pending.

“The policy is to deal with any individual that we come in contact with with minimal force,” states Chief Walters.

“If they present a threat, the officers will respond to the threat. They will do it as cautiously as they can. It doesn’t change whether you have mental health or anger management issues, the police officers are going to respond.”

Dale Walters, an avid hunter, has never fired his gun on the job. He has come “terrifyingly close.” He has seen children die and colleagues killed in the line of duty. He has made the arrest of a fellow police officer. Daily images of protests and police brutality “take a toll” on him and others in the profession. Applications for open positions are down.

“It’s a stressful job and people make mistakes” says Chief Walters, “but many lives have been saved by police that never get mentioned.”

GPD does get some support on their Facebook page and there is rarely a day when somebody doesn’t secretly pay for the chief’s lunch.

“There is some demonizing of people who show support for law enforcement,” he notes. “At some point it will swing back the other way and there will be some realistic measures taken.”

He agrees police reform is needed, “even in this state,” but has his own ideas about what that means. Budgetary constraints, he says, causes cities and municipalities to lower their expectations about who they hire and how they operate.

“It should be a requirement for a police department to have to maintain certain standards,” says Chief Walters, “for police chiefs to have a certain level of experience and education.”

Debbie Cox, 15-year Globe resident, has known five police chiefs in her time here. Owner of Service First Realty, she manages 190 rentals in the area and is proactive about keeping track of crime.

“It’s important to me,” she says. “It affects our business, and I live here.”

Debbie and the chief meet monthly to discuss what’s going on in the community.

The two share a good rapport and healthy respect. She appreciates his serious approach, productive action and the improvements in policing consistency and officer attitude.

“He is responsive, and he is realistic about what we can do” says Debbie, “but we have to do this together, as a community, with the police force.” u
