Region gears up for yearround wildfire seasons by David Abbott

oodbury, Bush and Telegraph: The names of those fires will be branded on the memories of Globe-Miami residents for a long time to come. They burned nearly a half-million acres from the Pinals to the Superstitions and left a swath of scorched desert – and millions of dollars in property damage – in their wake. As wildfire season turns into a yearround affair, and fires become hotter and more catastrophic, funding and education are becoming ever more important to fire management and public safety in our national forests and the communities that share their spaces in the arid Southwest. Last year, conditions in the region generated a literal firestorm as the Telegraph Fire swept across more than 180,000 acres of the Tonto National Forest. An aftermath of Biblical-level flooding followed when heavy monsoons carried water thick with mud and debris down washes and streambeds and into buildings throughout the Copper Corridor.

Miami calls itself the copper center of the world. A quaint Western town connected to Globe with many of the 2,000 or so residents living on a picturesque hillside off of U.S. Highway 60 and State Route 77, it boasts one of the best Mexican food restaurants in the state — Guayo’s El Rey — and maybe the best three-sport athlete in Arizona — Gabe Escobedo. Crowds have gravitated toward every game he has played since his sophomore year, and, during the COVID-19 era, Escobedo has galvanized the Globe-Miami mining community like no other athlete in some time. Maybe ever. ESCOBEDO, Continued on page 7

indness, community, friendships and love. Those are the themes of this month’s issue, which features our annual Senior Tribute honoring the graduates from Globe, Miami and San Carlos. It’s the core message behind Patricia’s op-ed this month (p. 4). And it’s a thread that runs through Thea Wilshire’s article on community murals being created by volunteers (p. 1). You can find this theme in the monthly Mayor’s Report, by Globe Mayor Al Gameros, as he talks about community improvements and gives an update on the closure of the Old Dominion Mine Park following the public meeting earlier this month (p. 5). And you can see it in the graduating classes of our schools. For behind every beaming senior face are the teachers, administrators, bus drivers, coaches, mentors and shared friendships that made this moment possible. You can see it in the work of Congressman Tom O’Halleran (p. 33), whom I had the pleasure of getting to know when I ran for office back in 2018. He’s an honest, decent guy who is doing quite a bit of good for our district. You won’t find him tearing people down as a political strategy. As we head into the midterms, I’ll be looking for leaders who can work effectively on solutions for the real problems we face. O’Halleran knows how to get things done and has the heart of a public servant. You can also find these elements in the efforts of all the firefighting personnel and “cooperators” who are on the front lines during fire season - which is getting longer and more intense each year (p. 1). The experience and professional knowledge brought to bear by Barry Johnson and others in managing and fighting these massive fires is one reason we didn’t lose parts of Globe or Miami last year during the Telegraph Fire. As devastating as it was, it could have been worse. We’re a community that’s deeply connected through kinship and friendship, and rich in a sense of community that goes back generations. Whether we agree on everything or not, it’s still reassuring in this crazy world to be a part of all that is Globe-Miami.

OPINION

May/June 2022

by Patricia Sanders

Yesterday I finally did the laundry after procrastinating for a long time, so this morning I woke up to clean clothes to choose from, and I can’t tell you how happy that made me. Simple pleasures. We’re all always chasing after happiness, but I’ve noticed that as I get older, my idea of it is getting simpler and simpler. A good night’s sleep, clean clothes, a long springtime walk with the dog. Then I wonder, is happiness really that simple? Or as we get older, does it start to seem out of reach, so we settle for peace and comfort? I went back to the ancient Greeks to find out what they thought – they usually had something interesting to say. Turns out the Greeks had five different ideas of what brings happiness, but I found their ideas unsatisfying. Mostly they thought you’re happy as long as you’re not suffering and not burdened with concerns. Socrates thought you had to be poor to be happy (nothing to worry about), but Aristotle thought you had to be rich (nothing to worry about). The Epicureans said pleasure is just the absence of suffering, so all you have to do is avoid things that feel painful. But the Stoics said that isn’t even possible, so you should zen out and just not let painful things bother you. The Hedonists went all out, apparently, and advised people to enjoy themselves and not be concerned about anything else. Which only works, I think, if you have a very

enlightened perspective on what enjoyment is. I’m not sure I would ever have clean clothes. The trouble is, pleasure isn’t the same thing as happiness. At all. Pleasure’s a honey trap – it lures you in and then rewards you with a shot of dopamine, and meanwhile you’ve missed the train to a life that would be rewarding and enjoyable in deeper, sustainable ways. It’s long been known that practicing gratitude can improve your mood, and I’ve heard of people for whom gratitude has worked almost miracles. A practice of gratitude helps you focus on what’s good in your life and helps you feel more connected and secure. You start to realize the world isn’t so bad and you’re not really alone in it. But gratitude, by itself, doesn’t tell you how to make choices in life – so you’ll have more to be grateful for. The Declaration of Independence enshrines the pursuit of happiness right up there with life and liberty. The Founding Fathers obviously considered happiness, or at least the pursuit of it, indispensable. But they didn’t give much in the way of hints as to how to do that or what happiness is – because liberty. We all get to choose. Only liberty, aka freedom, isn’t the endall. Yes, freedom means you get to choose. But if you never actually make a choice, that freedom goes to waste. You end up doing nothing, or just waving the flag, and I seriously doubt that’s what the Fathers had in mind.

So, what should we do, to be happy? It has to be more than finishing chores on a regular basis. There’s got to be more to life than clean jeans. Fortunately, modern science has jumped in. In the past few decades, researchers have really gotten on board to study happiness, partly because it’s been shown to improve business performance. There’s even a degree program at the University of Pennsylvania. And there’s a whole peer-reviewed journal devoted to the subject – the Journal of Happiness Studies. Which apparently enjoys a high degree of prestige and is not as silly as it might sound. The psychologist Daniel Pink has been studying regret, which you could say is the opposite of happiness – it’s the feeling you’re left with when you miss that train. After asking thousands of people what they regret in their lives, Dr. Pink concluded happiness comes from making sure you live according to four principles: integrity, boldness, connection, and security. That is, 1) do what you think is right, 2) be brave and willing to take risks, 3) value your family, friends, and community, and 4) do your best to have a foundation of physical and economic resources. Then you’ll avoid regret, which in turn suggests you’ll be happy. One study in particular has proved to be a gold mine of carefully validated insights into happiness. Back in the late 1930s, researchers at Harvard University started studying Harvard graduates’ lives. The scientists followed 724 grads, periodically

asking them questions about their work, health, and home life. John F. Kennedy was one of them. That study has now been going on for more than 80 years and has been expanded to include participants other than rich white men – including the original participants’ children. When you read the results with regard to happiness, the researchers always sound a bit startled. Because their findings don’t point to wealth or power, or anything like that. Over and over, they find happiness flows from one single thing: relationships. The Harvard study shows clearly that happiness comes from having harmonious social relationships – family, friends, and community. Lack of relationships and having conflictual relationships not only destroy happiness, they damage your health, reduce your longevity, and actually harm brain function. Put the other way, having good relationships in your life almost guarantees you’ll be happy – and it also boosts your health, helps you live longer, and helps keep your brain in good working order. The main investigator in the Harvard study put it this way: “Happiness is love. Full stop.” Somehow, I’m not surprised. It seems like it’s always true that the best things in life tend to go together: Chocolate and strawberries. Jeans and t-shirts. Love and happiness. So, having learned this, my advice to you is: do your laundry. But also find someone who’ll tell you how good you smell.

MAYOR’S MONTHLY REPORT AL GAMEROS | CITY OF GLOBE OLD DOMINION MINE PARK A Town Hall meeting was held on May 3rd at Globe City Hall to discuss the status of the Old Dominion Mine Park. The meeting was sponsored by the City of Globe and BHP Copper. Alexandria (Ali) Dionne, from Principal BHP Corporate Affairs, served as the moderator. Kevin Ramsay, Manager of BHP Arizona Legacy Assets gave a PowerPoint presentation on the history of the mine leading up to its current status. The presentation included the reason for the full closure in 2020 that we were aware of due to continued testing on the site to evaluate the inherent risks to the public. Just recently, in 2022, it was discovered that there was a partial shaft collapse at the 2,600-foot level that has made the situation more complicated. The priority of their strategy has now shifted to work on the stabilization of the collapse and the continued distribution of the water at the base of the mine shaft. That is the reason for the announcement of an indefinite closure because of the unknown. Their intention is still to work towards the re-opening of the mine park, in which their projections could be in 2027. Ali from BHP assured those present at the meeting that they understand the importance of this park to our community, not only for recreation but the importance of the education of the history of mining and economic development. BHP has already provided funding for several recreational projects in the community and is committed to providing additional funding sources for more recreational opportunities throughout our Globe-Miami community. The City of Globe looks forward to a continued strong relationship and partnership moving forward. We are focused on the big picture outcome as we make future decisions for our city and community.

CONNIE’S BRIDGE UPDATE At the April 26th meeting, the council heard a presentation by Jerry Barnes and Rick Powers on the current status of the Connies Bridge project. The City of Globe was awarded $2.8 million for the replacement of the bridge. The design phase has been completed, and the advertisement for bids for construction went out in February. Only one bid was received that was not accepted due to the amount. Our city is experiencing the same issues as the rest of the country is with inflation, supplies, demand, and the lack of available contractors. The plan is to repackage the bid to be ready to go out again in October, when hopefully the economy will stabilize a little better. Advertisement for bids will also follow for the Hill Street corridor project that goes along with the bridge project in which the city was awarded an additional $1.5 million to complete. The Cottonwood Bridge project is in the design phase. The city was awarded $1 million to complete.

WIFA PROJECT The current WIFA project that is moving forward is the Community Center sewer line project. The city was awarded $600K for this project. It is currently in the design phase at 80% complete. This project should go out for bid in two months.

SEAL COAT ASPHALT PROJECTS Council approved a cooperative agreement contract with Cactus Asphalt to complete seal and asphalt projects at various locations throughout the

City of Globe. The amount for these projects is $561,154.00, which includes a 10% contingency. The projects are funded with HURF (Highway User Revenue Funds), ½ cent excise tax that can only be used for road construction and maintenance. The roads selected were prioritized by our Public Works Department throughout the six districts in the city.

NORTH BROAD STREET STAIRWAY Council heard a presentation by the Globe Historical Museum Director, Bob Bigando, on the history of the recently painted stairway that is currently referred to as the Silver King Stairs. There have been several names submitted as to what the final name should be for the stairs. Bob explained the process they went through to come up with a recommendation to the city council to name the stairs. After their research, they feel the most appropriate name for the stairs is “Pascoe Stairs”. Due to the stairs being city property, the Council will review all recommendations and have the final vote as to what the stairs will be called.

REPLACEMENT OF PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT The work began last week on the replacement of the playground equipment at both City Hall and the Community Center. Crews are currently working on leveling the ground out and the installation of curbing. Residents will not be able to access these areas until the equipment is installed. Temporary fencing has been erected during construction for the safety of everyone. It is estimated it will take about three weeks to install the equipment. There will be continued work by city crews and APS after the installation of equipment to upgrade the sidewalks and lighting at both locations.

GRADUATING STUDENTS

Getting Your Affairs in Order By Deborah Dove As high school seniors prepare to start the next chapter of their lives this spring, it’s a good time for seniors on the other side of the journey to make sure their affairs are in order. And really, it’s a good idea for adults of any age since, unfortunately, none of us are promised tomorrow. While no one wants to think about wills, funeral expenses, or DNRs, if we don’t, our loved ones will have to, so planning ahead can make all the difference in the face of the unexpected. The internet is rife with estate planning horror stories, such as the wealthy California man who never made a will, and whose entire estate—a home, a vacation home, bank accounts, shares of stock, cars, etc.— was tied up in probate for years while his family scraped to make ends meet and paid court costs. Or Hollywood filmmaker John Singleton, who slipped into a coma but hadn’t created a medical directive or a power of attorney, sparking a family battle over guardianship. You can avoid these scenarios by taking action now and getting your affairs in order. As high school seniors cross the stage this May, set the stage to ensure your assets go to who you want to have them and avoid the hassles of your estate going into probate with some basic estate planning. Following is a checklist of “to-dos” to guide you in the process. Get your paperwork in order. Put all your important papers in one place and tell your loved ones ahead of time where to find them. What are considered important papers? Wills, trusts, and advanced directive; life insurance policies; titles to vehicles, deeds for property; social security and Medicare information, etc. Include the contact information for key managers of your affairs such as your attorney, bank, insurance company, investment firm, doctors’ offices, clergyman, etc., as well as a list of accounts and account numbers (bank, credit cards, and utilities), login credentials, and when and how bills are paid. It’s also a good idea to make sure your designated beneficiary can access your accounts and that your doctor(s) has written permission to discuss your health and insurance claims with whomever you want to share that information. Finally, create a master list of your passwords (including your Apple ID) and put it in a safe place along with your other documents. Who knows? If you’re anything like me, you might need it yourself!

Create a will or trust. Wills and trusts allow you to specify who you want your property, money, and other assets to go to when you die, as well as guardianship for any minor children. Although there are online DIY options, it’s best to hire an estate attorney to ensure your will holds up in court and your wishes can be legally honored. Draft advance directives. These include two practical and necessary documents. A living will spells out medical treatments you would and would not want to be used to keep you alive, as well as your preferences for other medical decisions, such as pain management or organ donation. A durable power of attorney for healthcare lets you name the person you want to make medical decisions for you if you can’t make them yourself. Estate attorneys can help with these also. Designate powers of attorney for legal matters. A general power of attorney allows you to give someone else the authority to act on your behalf, but this power ends if you are unable to make your own decisions. A durable power of attorney also allows you to name someone to act on your behalf, but it stays in place if you become unable to make your own decisions. Designate beneficiaries. Designating a beneficiary on your life insurance policy and bank accounts, including investment accounts, can save your spouse, children, or other designee time and money. Complete a transfer on death deed if you own a home and file it with your county. This document, which allows you to transfer ownership of your home to your designee, can keep your home out of probate and save your heirs thousands of dollars. Create a funeral planning declaration. Fill out a funeral planning declaration form (there are many available online) to specify to your loved ones your wishes concerning funeral services, organ donation, and disposition of your remains (i.e., cremation or burial). Written funeral plans also spare your family worry and confusion.

I want to congratulate all Globe and Miami graduating students of 2022. Remember always to take pride in how far you have come. Have faith in how far you can go and enjoy your new journey.

COVID WEEKLY REPORT Covid case updates are now only reported on a weekly basis every Wednesday. Here are the numbers for the month of April. In Arizona, there were 18,255 new cases recorded and 921 deaths. In Gila County, there were 323 new cases recorded.

INSIDER’S SCOOP

Globe Fire Department – Saturday shift.

Kendall Cormack in the bay.

Who You Gonna Call? Story & photos by Patti Daley

“Be prepared, be professional, be safe, be nice.” That’s the creed put forth from the Globe Fire Department (GFD), one of the busiest single house departments in the state. With 17 career firefighters & up to 15 reserves, GFD handled nearly 2000 calls in the past year. 80% of them are medical calls. GFD keeps 2 paramedics on duty each shift. There are approximately 250-300 fire responses in a year, covering a broad range of building, car and false alarms, of which there are many. There are the odd calls too. Someone is stuck in a swing, on the roof, in the back of a garbage truck. There’s a cat on a telephone pole.. “We’re not here to judge your emergency,” says Captain Kendall Cormack. “We’re here to help.” GFD is an all-hazards department. During the summer months, they rescue 3-4 rattlesnakes from frantic home dwellers, engage a bee vacuum for threatening swarms and handle about 5-6 technical rescue calls during the year, mainly cars driving off the road. “Our goal is to be the best that we can at anything we’re doing,” says Chief Gary Robinson. He’s been fighting fires in Globe for 22 years and served as Fire Chief for the past seven. Gary says he misses being on the truck, but according to Captain Kendall Cormack, he responds to more calls than anyone in the department.

Be Prepared

“We’re constantly working to make sure our personnel have the training and equipment in order to meet the needs of the community — fire related or medical related,” says Chief Robinson.

Several on his team took an advanced swiftwater course to learn about boat operations, and rope systems. “You think you know how to swim, but you can’t swim!” Kendall Cormack exclaims. “You need to read channels, read debris in the water, read the situation. Do I need to be in the water? Do I need ropes?” Kendall Cormack has been with GFD for 15 years. A graduate of Miami High, he started his career with the U.S. Forest Service and was a Hot Shot with Globe Ranger District. He caught the fire bug early – the feeling of facing a wall of fire, heart going crazy, scared and excited and working hard. “Once you get it, it’s hard to get rid of it,” says Kendall. “You just enjoy it.” He got his Fire Science degree from Central Arizona College and was recruited by then chief Al Gameros. Today he is one of three captains and supervises a team of 5 including himself. The hardest part of his job, he says, is managing the down time and getting all the in-station and training activities done. “It’s easy to motivate a guy to respond to a structure fire or help someone with a broken leg,” he says. GFD will soon advertise for reserves. Local high school students can earn their certifications necessary to become a reserve firefighter in one year through CVIT programs. Shift-ready firefighters must also have a basic EMT certification, a semester long course. Paramedics have 1100-1500 hours of training. Full-time personnel are required to have basic wildland firefighter certifications and FEMA courses as well. Captains or shift supervisors have additional training in tactical operations – offensive or defensive attacks and accounting for personnel. How to keep

the fire from spreading. In all positions, Captain Cormack points out, it helps to know how to do laundry and use a mop.

Be Professional

Cooperation and clear command are key to firefighting. GFD and Tri-City Fire operate under an auto-aide system, empowering them to serve the entire community, not just the citizens of one city or fire district. The command structure, for firefighting operations, adapted from the military, is a huge aid to the safety and Chief Gary Robinson effectiveness of fire operations. “A system for management predetermines how the leadership house firewise.

May/June 2022

ESCOBEDO, Continued from page 1 No matter what ball he picked up -football, basketball or baseball -- magic happened. He is now deep into his final season of baseball that could turn to a 2A championship to gold. The Vandals are 24-4 and ranked No. 2 by the Arizona Interscholastic Association, behind Scottsdale Christian, in the conference. The 6-foot-2, 180-pound Escobedo has played every position. He is 9-1 with a 1.80 ERA on the mound, and is hitting .571 with 52 hits, 15 doubles, six triples, three home runs and 47 RBIs. In 80 career varsity baseball games, he is hitting .520 with 109 RBIs. In 26 varsity football games in his career, the senior racked up 3,136 receiving yards and 58 touchdowns. He also played quarterback in order to get the ball in his hands on as many plays as possible. In basketball, his favorite sport, he averaged 26.1 points, six rebounds, three assists and three steals his senior season, as he packed the Miami gym for games. Asked if he’s a local celebrity, Escobedo, a man for all seasons and few words, reluctantly says, “Yeah, something like that.” But there aren’t autograph seekers. “Normally, he’s the talk of the town,” said Ron Escobedo, Gabe’s dad, a police officer in neighbor city Globe. “I like to stay humble,” Gabe said. Escobedo flirted with competing in sports at a big school in the Valley. He attended Desert Ridge High in Mesa his freshman year, but he missed his roots. “I just wanted to be with my friends more,” he said. The family is rooted in the Globe-Miami area. Both his parents went to Globe High School. His older brother and sister went to Globe. He wanted to go to Miami, because many of his travel ball friends were going there. His father played football and baseball at Globe. His mother Kylene played volleyball. The coaches at Miami have never seen an athlete come through and dominate in every sport the way he has. Escobedo says he is planning to compete in the 100-meter dash and the long jump in the state track and field championships May 14 at Mesa Community College, already qualifying in those events. “I just love to compete in everything,” he said. When Escobedo plays, the crowds converge to watch. He had different gears on the court, sometimes swooping by defenders to dunk. “The noise level was amazing,” Miami basketball coach Ken Vargas said. “With all the COVID and the things that hit us hard in the small community, it was really nice to see him bring some life back, to the excitement of the school, to the excitement of the games. “He was at the right time at the right place. Just an amazing kid.” Kids like to stay after games to meet Escobedo, who sticks around to talk to them. “He always took his time to see them,” Vargas said. “He’d kneel down on the floor and laugh and talk, just to make that connection. I always tell him, ‘You’re the window to their future.’ They want to see him.” Ron Escobedo said his son has always been skilled at everything. Even shooting arrows from a bow. “From a young age, shooting a bow, from 15 yards, he was hitting a string with a pin at the end of it,” Ron said. “He was blessed at everything he did.” Miami and Globe is one of the longest running high school rivalries in the country.

He went from being a quarterback in junior high to wide receiver at Miami, where coach Brandon Powell’s son, Ryan, was the quarterback. They became one of the most dynamic small-school passing duos in the state in 2019, when Ryan was a junior and Gabe a sophomore. Powell passed for 2,911 yards and 32 TDs with Escobedo catching 68 passes for 1,627 yards and 17 TDs. Escobedo had nearly 2,000 all-purpose yards that season, adding in his kickoff and punt returns. In a COVID-reduced, seven-game 2020 season, Escobedo caught 47 passes for 1,061 yards and 13 TDs. With Powell graduated, Miami needed a quarterback. Escobedo took control, and averaged 10 yards a carry. In a 46-44 win over Whiteriver Alchesay in late September, on a night he was crowned the homecoming king, Escobedo ran for four TDs, threw a TD pass and converted five twopoint plays. “That kid has been around my house probably since he was in diapers,” said Brandon Powell, who also coaches the Miami baseball team. “I couldn’t compare him to anyone. “Everybody in the area knows him. They come out to see him. Especially in football. Teams tried to kick the ball away from him. But we did one play where he did a bunch of laterals and he returned it for 85 yards.” The numbers he has produced in every sport is mind boggling. After the first couple of football games last season, Powell said he didn’t have anybody who could get Escobedo the football. “I said the heck with it, I’m just going to put Gabe back at quarterback,” Powell said. “I can put the ball in his hand every play. “Having the ball in his hands, it made us a touchdown threat on every play on offense.” Powell didn’t expect Escobedo would wind up doing the things he has done on the football field, but, his sophomore year, “He proved to be unstoppable.” Escobedo is often asked what his favorite sport is. He admits to favoring basketball. But he said he’s going to pursue football in college. He is looking at Arizona Christian. He said his athletic director has been working

February 7, 2022 vs Santa Rita Miami won 71-42 and went undefeated in section play. with colleges to find him a home. There’s even a chance he could take a prep year before college.

For now, he’s just enjoying life and helping his baseball team win. “I just want to be a leader,” he said. u

FIRE SEASON, Continued from page 1 The threat of wildfire is increasing after 20 years of extreme drought and as the result of outdated forest management practices. Local jurisdictions are adapting as quickly as possible. “For three consecutive years, we’ve had large, catastrophic fires in our forests right in the same area,” says Barry Johnson, Fire Management Officer for the Tonto National Forest Globe Ranger District. “Gila County and Pinal County have been hit hard. So has the Tonto Basin and Roosevelt. It’s been rough.” Johnson has been fighting wildland fires for 20 years with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the US Forest Service. He has worked his way up the ranks and currently is in charge of coordinating fire resources from his office in Globe. Johnson says much of what his team of firefighters and “cooperators” do flies under the radar, because most of the fires his people respond to are put out long before they’re big enough for us to remember their names. In 2021, while images of the Telegraph Fire beamed out to television screens across the country, a total of 113 fires burned in Tonto NF. Combined, they charred more than 191,000 acres. The Telegraph was responsible for 180,757 of those burned acres. The remaining 112 fires were dispatched without any loss of life or serious injury to either firefighters or members of the public. “I think the general public sees wildland firefighting forces as having more power than we really do,” Johnson says. “We try to smash fires when they’re small, as fast as we can with our resources but sometimes these things move faster than we can react or get people into. It’s a very challenging time, given the current state of everything.” When small fires grow large enough to overwhelm local resources, state and federal agencies come to the rescue. They provide equipment and personnel in a coordinated response, with a goal of protecting human life first and foremost. Secondarily, they work to protect property in the wildland urban interface (WUI), where people and nature come together. During the Telegraph Fire, the US Forest Service was joined by six other federal agencies, including BLM, US Fish and Wildlife Service, and the San Carlos Apache Tribe – although the tribe had problems of its own with the Mescal Fire, which burned more than 72,000 acres southeast of Globe. Gila County contributed equipment and personnel, including the Sheriff’s Department, and the State of Arizona provided services through the Department of Corrections and Department of Transportation, among others. Additionally, local fire departments from Winslow to Mohave to Tubac offered their support in a multi-agency effort that spanned weeks last summer. “With any fire that’s getting of size, you’re working with all your cooperators,” Johnson says. “Those relationships are very important to maintain and strengthen. Without us all cooperating together, we fail.”

Tougher stuff To become a firefighter, a candidate must receive training for five certificates and must be physically fit enough to run three miles in 45 minutes carrying a 45-pound pack. And that’s the “bare minimum,” according

I still go to classes to continue to improve my career as well. So you’re basically always a student of fire.” The Globe Ranger District has a permanent, year-round force of about 20 personnel. During what’s traditionally known as wildfire season, an additional 20 are brought on, for a total of 40 in the crew. The heart of the crew is a group called the Globe Hotshots, an elite team of firefighters specially trained to survive in the most savage of conditions. Half of that group can be called to fires in a different part of the country at a moment’s notice. Hotshot crews originated in Southern California in the late 1940s; the concept quickly expanded throughout the western United States. Staffing shortages have been the bane of firefighting organizations – particularly in the past two decades, while wildfires have increased exponentially – but new sources of funding from state and federal governments could help out in the near future. The INVEST in America Act, also known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Framework (BIF), the Biden Administration’s $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill, devotes $3.4 billion to fighting fires nationwide. It provides funding for Department of Interior and Forest Service initiatives such as mechanical thinning, controlled burns, the Collaborative Forest Restoration Program and other firefighting resources.

“We want to be able to designate our community as a Firewise Community, then you’re able to get additional funding.” – Globe Mayor Al Gameros

The BIF also includes base salary increases for federal wildland firefighters “where it is difficult to recruit or retain a federal wildland firefighter.” At the state level, Gov. Doug Ducey recently signed the Arizona Healthy Forest Initiative, providing $24.5 million for fuel reduction operations and to help fund an inmate wildfire training program that employs low-risk inmates on wildfire prevention projects. For Johnson, that means he can hire more hotshots and start to work on clearing out the accumulated underbrush that fuels modern wildfires. He says he’ll be able to recruit five temporary crew members to full time and increase the number of hotshots from 11 to 16. Additionally, Johnson plans to hire two new fuels specialists to get a fuels program up and running, as well as an assistant fire management officer and a fuels technician. “We’re increasing the full-time workforce as well as implementing more fuels projects,” he says, adding that the inmate crews are an integral and dependable workforce to tap into. “The Department of Corrections has had crews that assist us for many years. They’re a huge help.” Another tranche of money is coming from Senators Mark Kelly and Kyrsten Sinema, who recently received $12.8 million in disaster relief funds from the US Department of Agriculture for wildfire and flood relief relating to several recent wildfire disasters. A press release from Kelly’s office stated, “This funding will help Arizona recover from some of the largest and most destructive wildfires in recent history.” The statement continued, “Years and months after these fires, communities near Globe, Miami, Flagstaff and Saguaro Lake still face serious public safety risks from post-fire flooding that endangers ranchers, tribal communities and others who utilize and care for our land. I will continue to advocate for more federal resources to help protect Arizona from wildfires.”

Kelly Mott Lacroix is the Emergency Response Coordinator for Tonto NF and part of the Burned Area Emergency Response (BAER) team tasked with post-fire assessment. “I go in after the fire is largely contained and help the soils folks assess what’s called soil burn severity – how the fire has impacted the soils,” she says. “Then I use that in hydrologic modeling programs to determine both the flash flood risk, which is those first couple of floods after, as well as the ongoing flood risk after the fire.” Mott Lacroix often partners with Mary Lata, a long-serving fire biologist who assesses ecological damage after fires and monitors the Tonto NF for invasive species and areas with a high potential for future fires. Lata says one of her jobs is to let people know that not all fire is bad and that fire is a natural part of the ecology of the desert. “I’m trying to help the public understand that fire is inevitable in this landscape,” she says. “It’s going to occur, it’s always been here, and we have a ton of different ways of proving that it’s always been here.” While the primary goal of wildfire suppression in the national forests is to protect life, property and cultural resources, the assessments that are usually done within a week after fire containment are intended to minimize danger to humans afterward and to reduce the possibility of erosion that can damage the land. The emergency response team usually has to act fast, as prime wildfire season coincides with the monsoons, when flooding is a very real possibility – although last year’s flooding came as something of a surprise after several years of “nonsoons.” “What’s interesting is last year felt like an outlier to all of us, because we had two years of essentially no monsoons,” Mott Lacroix says. “I went back and looked at the data, and it turns out it was a normal monsoon last year. It felt crazy big, but it was actually more like a return to normal.” Once the post-fire assessment is complete, the BAER team gets to work clearing channels or mulching to reduce erosion. This work can run into the millions of dollars, given the cost of quality mulch and the area that needs to be covered. Aside from humans and lightning strikes, another factor in increasingly catastrophic

Humans cause most fires Although much of the fire activity in the desert results from lightning strikes during the monsoons, the lion’s share of Arizona wildfires are caused by humans.

According to the National Interagency Fire Center, an Idaho-based multi-agency coordination group, of the 1,773 total fires in Arizona in 2021, 1,267 of them were human caused. These fires burned a total of 337,276 acres. Lightning started 506 fires and burned 187,153 acres. People start fires in a number of ways: chains dragging from towed vehicles, cigarettes carelessly tossed from moving vehicles, vehicles with hot exhausts parking over dried vegetation. Many are started by fireworks and guns. “Target practice is a big one for us,” Johnson says. “Especially before we go into restrictions that shut that down. It’s sad and unfortunate.” Another problem that can threaten property during wildfire season is vegetation around homes in remote areas. To address this, many jurisdictions are working to become Firewise communities. Firewise provides guidelines for protecting homes and property, particularly those located in WUI areas. “We want to be able to designate our community as a Firewise community – then you’re able to get additional funding,” says Globe Mayor Al Gameros. “Firewise is basically education to the residents to help them understand what types of fuel they have around their homes, and of what type of mitigation they need to do.” Gameros spent more than 30 years as a firefighter in Globe after 12 years at Pinto Valley Mine. He was fire chief for 18 years, which gives him a lot of insight into the necessity for collaboration within the community and with other agencies and jurisdictions. The City of Globe is using some of the extra funds for firefighting to purchase a new Type 3 wildland firefighting engine. And last October, the City received a $15,000 grant from the Tohono O’Odham Nation to obtain wildland personal protective equipment, including helmets, fire shelters and ratchet replacements.

Fire aftermath After a fire is put out, the Forestry Department sends in biologists and hydrologists to assess the damage and prepare for the flash flood risks of the monsoon season.

fires is the type of vegetation that fills the deserts in the 21st century. A proliferation of non-native grasses is contributing to the high-intensity fires that are becoming more common. Weeping lovegrass, Mediterranean grass, red brome and salt cedar are growing in monocultures that are more susceptible to fire. These are often considered invasive plants, but Mary Lata thinks we need to reconsider how we classify invasive species, since many of them have been around for a century or more. “What is an invasive species?” she asks. “At what point do we start to call it naturalized?” Another factor intensifying fires is how dry many areas have become as a decadeslong drought continues unabated. Lata encourages people using outdoor recreation areas to be vigilant, particularly in the summer, when a random spark can become a disaster for thousands of people in the region. “Parking a hot vehicle in dried grass at the side of the road can and has started many fires, most notably the Bush Fire,” she says. “Campsites are another source when they aren’t put out cold. You can dump a lot of water on a campfire, but the underside of a log or some fuel just below the surface can still be smoldering. Campers should use the back of their hand to feel for heat to be sure their fire is out before they leave a campsite, or leave the fire sitting overnight while they sleep.” As to Johnson, he’s grateful for the way everyone works together during fire season, whether the task is taking care of small incidents that the public never hears about, or multi-agency weeks-long events. Whether it’s coordinated efforts by Hotshot teams with full air support, communities providing staging areas during a fire siege, or the biologists and work crews cleaning up in the aftermath, he says the sense of camaraderie is a big part of the draw to his calling. Johnson’s comment points to the silver lining of the more intense fire seasons we’ve been experiencing lately: the way the community has come together to get through the crisis, recover and move forward. These fires will leave a scar on the land and on our memories, but they also leave Globe-Miami stronger and better prepared to face the inevitable crises of the future.

Much of their high school experience has been overshadowed by the cloud of COVID-19, but they have persevered to completion. As superintendent I could not be any more pleased with the 2022 graduating class. Congratulations to each one of you on achieving this milestone in the face of unprecedented adversity. On behalf of the GUSD Governing Board, central office administration and staff, all building administrators, and our Globe Tiger family, we say to your future, “Go Get’em Tigers.” Jerry Jennex, Superintendent Globe Unified School District

PRINCIPAL’S LETTER TO THE CLASS OF 2022

TOP OF THE CLASS

Casimir Terrence

Dear Class of 2022, Each graduating class makes me think of a particular song. Last year’s graduates reminded me of the Grateful Dead’s Trucking: “Lately it seems to me/What a long, strange trip it’s been”. The year before, when we stood on the curb handing out diplomas to the Class of 2020 as they drove by, I thought of Springsteen’s You’re Missing: “God’s drifting in heaven, devil’s in the mailbox.” But I’m having trouble identifying the song for y’all. Partly it’s Anna Nalick’s Breathe: ‘Cause you can’t jump the track, we’re like cars on a cable. And life’s like an hourglass glued to the table. No one can find the rewind button, girl. So cradle your head in your hands And breathe, just breathe, Oh, breathe, just breathe Students your age have had pretty much the strangest high school experience ever. You spent days stuck to Zoom and months coming to school on hybrid schedules seeing only half your friends. You worked hard to prepare for games and events that might or might not happen, and had to wear masks for way longer than anyone wanted. But you and we have managed it together. We had school this year, every day, all year. We played all our sports and we sent kids to state CTE competitions. And we took care of each other, showing some patience when people were stuck at home on quarantine or just needed some support.

There were times you tested our patience – those are the days we love you even if we don’t much like you at the moment – but you’ve come through and are ready for your second wind. It’s that second wind – and third and fourth and fifth – that will get you through life. You will be challenged in everything you do. College and work are hard. Relationships and parenting are way harder. You’ll catch yourself thinking or saying things that sound like your parents or your teachers. Maybe even your principal. That’s because you’ve been surrounded through all this by people who do truly love you and who’ve done their level best to support you through trying times. So for the Class of 2022, I’m settling in on Bruce Springsteen’s You’re Only Human: We’re only human, We’re supposed to make mistakes, But I survived all those long lonely days, When it seemed I did not have a friend, ‘Cause all I needed was a little faith, So I could catch my breath and face the world again, Don’t forget your second wind You’re Vandals and you’re going out into the world. Keep your friends close and your values closer, and you’ll do well. When it’s hard going, catch that second wind and get going. When the going is easy, look around for the friend you can help. You have what it takes to do well, and we will be cheering you on. God bless. Glen Lineberry, Principal

Congratulios, Clas of 2022!

PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE

The ability to recover from setbacks; to keep going in the face of adversity; adapting well to change; able to withstand hardship; weathering a storm; bouncing back; facing challenges with grit. How ever we define resilience, it is a fact that the students at San Carlos High School have demonstrated the skill and aptitude to succeed in the face of the unknown and to overcome the effects of a worldwide pandemic. Despite all that has occurred this school year and the uncertainty that COVID brought to our community, our students succeeded in staying engaged. Whether it was online learning, the hybrid program or back to fully in-person school, the SCHS Braves attended classes, completed assignments and earned their credits. As always, I am proud of our students, and especially so this year. To our graduating seniors I want to extend my most sincere, heartfelt wishes for success and happiness in your future. I have seen you grow from 8th graders into the mature, intelligent,

thoughtful and caring individuals you are. You endured the interruption of your sophomore year, your completely online junior year and this mixed bag of a senior year. In the face of all this turmoil you managed to come through by showing grit, persistence and determination; three traits that will serve you well throughout your lifetime. I look forward to hearing about all of your future accomplishments and how you reached your unlimited potential that I saw in you five years ago. So, as we get back to our new normal we will adjust to a post-pandemic life in which COVID may be sticking around in one form or another. What will also not be going away is our strength to endure, our ability to rise to the occasion and face down any challenges we may face. Braves are irrepressible, Braves are courageous, Braves are resilient. Braves will succeed. Go Braves! Your Very Proud Principal, Susan Poole

Seniors celebrate contributions to the school rebrand

Salutatorian REGINA JOE

Regina has many achievements under her belt during her time as a Brave. In addition to winning the Gila County science fair in 2019 in the category of Social and Behavioral Sciences with a project entitled “Correlation of Psychosomatic Trauma and Academic Performance,” she then presented her project in the Arizona Science and Engineering Fair in 2022. She is the current Ms. San Carlos High School and is part of the student council, a three-sport athlete, and is earning college credits in several dual enrollment classes. She will be attending Eastern Arizona College, where she plans on entering the Emergency Medical Technician program.

Career and Technical Education (CTE) graphic design students from the class of 2022, Maria Garibay, Lorena Cosen, Jeremiah Ailak, Kaden Phillips, Cathleen Bowman and Edward Lara all contributed to the design process the successful rebrand of the school in 2019 as sophmores. Students traveled as ambassadors of our reform to Las Vegas, Nevada and presented the completed project at the annual National Indian Impacted Schools Association and later presented to the Tribal Council. The integration of western knowledge with San Carlos Apache wisdom serves as a foundation of student achievement, which is now embodied and stamped as Shiłgozhóó. The emblem clearly depicts the journey of reaching Shiłgozhóó as an important process needed to truly support student achievement and the six core principles of learning. As the 2022 school year ends, these students have demonstrated Shiłgozhóó by overcoming disruptions in their school routine, conquering social and emotional challenges, and taming the impacts of the pandemic. These seniors are a true representation of empowered N’ee - San Carlos Apache people. We are so excited to celebrate them and the class of 2022.

HISTORY LIVES HERE A long-standing rivalry began with baseball

Sprouts of school rivalry first appeared in 1916, shortly after Miami High School was built for 70 students and just two years after Globe High School opened its new doors to 250 high school and junior high students. Surprisingly, the catalyst that sparked the rivalry wasn't football, but rather baseball, and by a baseball series. Of the seven games played, Globe won the first, Miami the second,third and fourth, then Globe took the fifth, sixth and seventh and thereby the championship. Excerpt by Joyce McBride

Murals, Continued from page 1

Mini-Murals The first project is a series of 13 Instagram-worthy mini-murals on the side of the building at 491 N. Broad. These murals are meant to be interactive so visitors can playfully become a part of the picture, then share images with friends and family on social media. This project was led by Mayor Al Gameros with the City of Globe and paid for by the Arizona Commission for the Arts (ACA). In 2017, Globe was selected as one of 9 inaugural cities awarded a $15,000 “Creative Communities” grant through the ACA. This program involved two years of seminars on all forms of public art for Globe’s Creative Communities team and then finished by awarding the funding. The Globe team invested this in recording equipment, a movie screen, and sound system, all of which are available for check-out at the library. When they learned additional money was available, they submitted a second proposal for community murals and received another $15,000.

“We emphasized student art and involvement in our grant application. This is why we were originally chosen,” explained Gameros. After working out some challenges with accessing the funding, the City of Globe hit the ground running with the mini-mural initiative about a month ago with the goal of finishing the project by Poppyfest on 4/1/22. Gameros approached both Miami High School and Globe High School to see if they would like to partner on this project and split the mural space. Miami teacher, Mary Yazzie, excitedly signed her Career Technology Student Organization leadership students up and they began designing interactive murals that day. Yazzie used a projector at night to trace the student’s designs onto the wall with chalk and pastels. Glen Lineberry, the Miami High School principal, allowed the students to be bussed from campus during their school day to paint the walls. The students finished their work in 3 days and did the first 6 murals seen from the street. Gameros created the capstone mural in the middle of the wall. He drew a wooden arch celebrating Globe and our recent Poppyfest.

He plans to change the “event marker” aspect of the painting throughout the year. The final 6 mini-murals were done by community volunteers through the “I Art Globe” (IAG) initiative organized by Thea Wilshire as a positive response to the challenges our community has faced secondary to COVID, fires, and floods. The IAG designs were also traced at night and then, on 3/27/22, 39 people ranging in age from 2 to 75 showed up to add the paint. The mini-mural project is a short-term installation that will be in place for 6 to 18 months. The City of Globe purchased the building where the murals are located and plans to tear the building down to create a North Broad parking lot, skate park, and children’s playground to be built with the support of the Dylan Earven Foundation.

Large Murals To utilize the rest of the ACA grant, Gameros and the City of Globe are collaborating with the IAG committee to connect with artists to get some large-scale murals painted in the historic downtown. For one of the murals, Corona Signs has

been tapped to replace the “Dominion Hotel Cactus Room” ad at 476 N. Broad that had been created in 1970 as a movie prop for the filming of the Great White Hope. The original sign was painted by Paul Contreras’s father and he will now paint the replacement 52 years later. The City is also looking into possibly repainting the teepee and several other mural opportunities. In addition to the ACA funds, IAG received a $10,000 mural grant from Peter Beesley, in memory of his wife, Carol “Ginger” Booth-Beesley. IAG worked for six months to connect artists and business owners, get the Historic Preservation Advisory Commission and City of Globe’s approval, and acquire needed supplies and lifts for the work. The first large IAG mural is being created at 198 W. Oak by local muralist, Myron Starr. Carol Hindenberger of Diamond M Dental is sponsoring the art highlighting local culture and architecture. Matt Kannegaard of RAM Specialists stepped up to assist with getting the lift the artist needed for the upper sections of the wall.

Murals, Continued from page 33 Other IAG collaborations for downtown murals include one with the High Desert Humane Society at 178 W. Mesquite, one with Farm Bureau Financial Services at 138 S. Broad supporting work already started by Therese Hicks and Jill Wilson, and one with Western Reprographics at 461 N. Broad supporting Tanner Hunsaker’s ongoing efforts to mount a 10’ by 35’ frame that will allow art to be put on canvas and changed regularly. Hunsaker is designing the “Welcome to Globe” inaugural artwork that will grace the frame.

Stairizona Murals The Stairizona Trail is a new urban trail being developed in response to the loss of walking trails at the Old Dominion Historic Mining Park and within the Tonto National Forest after the devasting wildfires of 2021. This trail capitalizes on the 90-year-old concrete staircases located in the hills of the neighborhoods around the historic downtown area.

forward We lookin g you. rv to se garet Ann,

IAG worked with Freeport McMoRan to get a $10,000 grant to begin working on the new trail and Regina OrtegaLeonardi championed the project. This money was utilized to hire local artist Rob Otero to paint a mural at the top of the first staircase, bring in Brandt Woods of Safford to paint a cascading poppy art installation on the stair risers, and engage Jim Ohl of Dripping Springs to create handmade light bollards for the stairs. A ribbon cutting for the trail was held on 4/1/22. IAG recently received a $50,000 public art grant from BHP to continue to add art along the trail. Once city approval is received, this money will be used to hire artists to paint two large murals, beautify the next three staircases, add signage (both directional and educational), purchase benches, and add other art installations along the Stairizona Trail route. If you are interested in being considered as an artist for any of these upcoming works, please contact Thea Wilshire (928-200-8733) or Regina Ortega-Leonardi (808-373-0032).
