Steve Stratton is happy to be back out on the road again.

“Everywhere we go,” he says, “people come in and ask, please fix my roads.”

Steve is chairman of the Arizona State Transportation Board, a seven-member

advisory board that reviews transportation projects, legislation, financing, and planning.

After 18 months of WebEx meetings, the board met live in June. By September, he expects the public will be able to attend meetings in person.

“I truly hope at some point the voters and the state legislature will get together and resolve

the issue of how to fund the road expansions and repairs adequately,” says Steve.

Appointed by Governor Ducey in 2015, Steve represents District #4 - Gila, Graham, and Pinal counties. He sees the state fighting a losing battle when it comes to transportation funding.

Globe Miami Times is celebrating 15 years of community journalism!

“The library is the heart and the barometer of the health of the city,” says Rayel Starling, Globe Public Library Director.

The Globe Public Library closed to inperson use in March 2020, following CDC guidelines. The services continued. The staff never stopped answering the phones.

“The next day we started doing lunches for the school kids,” says Rayel. “Curbside services started the following week.”

For the next year, Rayel and her staff adapted long-running programs to the new restrictions. Couch Potato to 5K went virtual, as did Summer Reading, now running in hybrid form with paper and online reading logs and age-appropriate prizes. Teen participation has been six times higher than before. Family Storytime continued via Facebook Live and “Grab and Go” kits provided theme-related activities that families could do at home.

A Note from the Publisher

This month was a perfect time to look back at our coverage of the community over the years and acknowledge our 15-year milestone in publishing the paper. The pandemic put a quash on many of our community gatherings and events which, in better times, have brought us together and made it into the paper, so it was fun to remember the way things were – before.

The year I launched the paper, exciting things were taking place in downtown Globe, led by Kip Culver, Globe’s Main Street Director, whose mission to “preserve and protect the uniqueness of our downtown district” gave us plenty to write about over the years. Through his work, Globe got the Copper Spike Excursion Railroad and not only hosted thousands of visitors each season but gave us such memorable events as Opening Day with the Mohave Muleskinners, Valentine’s Day and New Year’s Eve on the railway, and Thomas the Train.

Our historic buildings were provided for: a new roof for St. John’s Episcopal; the rescue of the Globe Cafe from demolition, thanks to an investor, which helped preserved the integrity of a block of downtown; the old jail, which got new cornices and working mechanisms so that visitors could feel the cold clang of the doors as they slammed shut; and multiple layers of improvements to the Center for the Arts, culminating in the refurbishment of the Governor’s Room and the installation of an elevator to the third floor so everyone could have access to the building.

Fundraisers for the Center improvements were legendary and memorable – including Jailhouse Rock, the Oz Ball, Bats and Broomsticks, the cemetery tours, Desert Socials on the sidewalk, and the Governor’s Ball.

See everything.

Overlook a great deal.

Improve a little.

– Pope John Paul XXIII (found on Kip Culver’s desk) And over in Miami, we were on the ground floor as efforts got underway to preserve and protect Bullion Plaza, with a who’s who of the area signing on to ensure its future. We’ve been fortunate to have the vision, talents, and dogged determination of its director, Tom Foster, and the Board in steering the museum always onward and upward.

On the other side of town, Sheldon Miller and his Board of

www.GlobeMiamiTimes.com

the Gila County Historical Museum Society have given us such memorable occasions as Old Dominion Days and community hamburger frys – as well as the best historical records that can be found for our area.

In our coverage of community over the years, we created several series focused on themes, including the Get Er Done series, which profiled people making a difference, the Spirit of Education, drawing on the memories of retired educators, and the Law and Order series, featuring the quirky escapades of crooks and lawmen over the last 100 years.

We created a few events of our own over the years (see p. 14) and partnered with others in hosting events. Of these, the one that stands out most in my mind was the year we threw a big bash when the Apache Drive–In closed. The best events draw on a shared experience of what it means to live here, and the Apache Drive–In meant a lot to generations who grew up here. It was only fitting that it got a farewell that was one for the history books.

Our feature story on the men who helped put Globe on the map (see p. 1) shows the influence of the work of Ingo Radicke and Steve Stratton, key members of the Transportation Board, on the health and wellbeing of our community.

In fact, one of my takeaways from looking back on 15 years is the difference that individuals have made and are still making. We gravitate to those stories and will continue to bring you those. In Michael Lewis’s new book The Premonition (see p. 5 ), we also learn about individuals who saw what others did not see and laid the groundwork for curbing the trajectory of the pandemic.

In a piece we did the fall of 2015 after the passing of Kip Culver, titled “Kip, We Aren’t Done Yet,” Paul Tunis says, “Globe has a self–esteem problem sometimes. There are those who think Globe is not good enough and those who like to talk about what is wrong with this town.

“But Kip never saw any of those things. Kip’s life at the Center, and in our community, was all about potential.”

There was a meme that followed on the heels of his passing – WWKD (What Would Kip Do?) The individuals who move us forward always do so by seeing the potential and finding the path to get there. Exciting new work is underway at the City of Globe (pp. 8–9) thanks to individuals who are laying down a path for a better future, and initiatives like iARTGLOBE and others continue to move us forward.

Here’s to the future and finding the potential.

Remember: WWKD?

The Premonition: A Pandemic Story

BY PATRICIA SANDERS

The United States just experienced its most severe public health crisis in history (and it’s not over yet). The crisis exposed painful shortcomings in America’s public health system – if the response seemed to be slow, inconsistent, chaotic, confusing, and inadequate, you were noticing the effects of those shortcomings.

But into that vacuum of expertise and leadership, a few smart and courageous people came forward.

Out of passion for protecting public health and selfless concern for the welfare of people they’ve never met, they threw themselves into an effort to learn about the coronavirus, develop plans and guidance, and devise tests and analysis tools that made a difference in saving lives and reducing suffering. Their contribution is incalculable.

But part of the story is also that their efforts too often were ignored. Time after time, smart and dedicated people offered insights and solutions that went unheeded.

Part of the story is the deep dysfunction in America’s health institutions, from local public health offices all the way up to the CDC and Washington DC. Too many people whose job it is to protect Americans’ health didn’t seem to care if they lived or died.

In a recent book, called The Premonition: A Pandemic Story, journalist Michael Lewis – the author of Moneyball, The Big Short, The Fifth Risk and other bestselling books about finance and sports – tells the story of the brokenness of our health system – the system that failed to offer clear guidance and assistance during the pandemic.

But mostly, he tells the stories of the courageous, serviceminded people who did all they could to help. It’s not an exaggeration to say that these people are true unsung American heroes, who deserve our gratitude and admiration.

Charity Dean The story begins with Charity Dean, who saw the pandemic coming through intuition and public-health savvy, long before it hit the news. Dean was assistant public health chief of California when the pandemic broke. She’d had experience tracking tuberculosis and meningitis outbreaks in California – so when the news started to come in from China, she knew what she was looking at.

Dean tried to raise the red flag, but her superiors in California’s public health department disregarded her warnings. It was only when she started speaking up in meetings where she’d been told to keep quiet, that others began to understand the threat and recognize her intelligence, insight, and commitment. Charity Dean prepared pandemic plans for California – and then for the rest of the country – that went to Jared Kushner, who briefed Trump, and the bones of her plan appeared in a White House memo. But obviously, a coordinated national response was never implemented.

Dean also developed a genomic tracking system that would have let public health officers understand how the virus was behaving so they could pinpoint strategies to fight it. That system, too, disappeared into the halls of the federal government and was never seen again.

Joe DeRisi Joe DeRisi was a brilliant biochemist at the University of California in San Francisco who specialized in infectious brain diseases. When doctors had patients who were dying of some brain disease and they couldn’t identify the cause, they would call Joe on his “Red Phone” and he could often discover the culprit.

In March 2020, DeRisi realized that testing would be critical to the pandemic response – and that the country’s biggest testing labs, Labcorp and Quest, as well as the CDC, were taking up to ten days to turn around results. This would be no use at all.

Early in January 2020, the Wolverines began discussing the coronavirus outbreak. While the CDC, President Trump, and most members of the public health community were downplaying the severity of the coronavirus, the Wolverines were taking it very seriously, gathering information from Chinese sources, calculating the way it would spread, thinking about implications, and determining actions that needed to be taken and decisions that needed to be made. These men were, on their own hook, doing what the CDC and other agencies should have been doing.

Carter Mecher was the one who applied the lessons of the Mann Gulch Fire to pandemic response. In that tragedy, in 1949, 15 smokejumpers were moving toward a grass fire that they thought was small and located on the opposite side of a creek. When they came around a hill, they unexpectedly faced a 30-foot wall of fire moving toward them fast, with a 30 to 40-mph wind behind it. Twelve of the firefighters died.

One survived because he did something that had never been done before – he created an escape fire and dove into it.

The lessons Mecher took included:

“You cannot wait for the smoke to clear: once you can see things clearly, it is already too late.”

PHOTO: WIKICOMMONS

Joe DeRisi, a biochemist, was one of a handful of people profiled in the book who ‘saw the smoke and acted.’

So DeRisi converted his lab to a Covid testing lab. He asked for volunteers, and a small army of graduate students responded. Within two days, his lab was up and running.

Joe offered testing for free and returned results within hours.

His people could process 2,666 tests daily. This was a gamechanger: immediate testing meant the disease could be tracked in almost real time, and potentially stopped in its tracks with targeted interventions.

But in another tragic missed opportunity, Joe DeRisi’s lab went sorely underused. Partly due to shortages of testing supplies, but also because the healthcare system in the United States was so dysfunctional that they couldn’t – or wouldn’t – take advantage of what he was offering.

So DeRisi’s lab pivoted. They performed a genomic study of Covid transmission in a small area of San Francisco. Some of the most important early insights about how the Covid virus transmits – and therefore how to stop it – came from that study.

Richard Hatchett and Carter Mecher In 2005, Richard Hatchett and Carter Mecher helped develop the first-ever national pandemic plan for George Bush – Bush had read a book about the 1918 flu pandemic and wanted to be sure America was prepared in case something similar happened on his watch. Hatchett was a doctor at the National Institutes of Health, and Mecher worked in the VA. Mecher had a way of going to the root cause of problems so that they could be solved efficiently and effectively. The two men worked together to develop the pandemic plan for Bush, and in the process essentially invented the concept of pandemic planning.

After that, they stayed in touch over the years and often tossed ideas back and forth. A group formed around them consisting of seven medical doctors, most of whom had seen combat in Iraq, and all of whom would be involved in a pandemic response if one should occur. The group had been dubbed the Wolverines. Every time the country faced a biological threat, such as MERS, Ebola, and Zika, the Wolverines put their heads together (via email) to study the problem and offer solutions.

“You can’t outrun an epidemic: by the time you start to run, it is already upon you.”

Carter emphasized how quickly a problem – a fire or an epidemic – can explode and become extremely difficult to deal with.

Richard Hatchett was the one who got vaccine development underway before many Americans even knew that a problem existed. By the end of January, he had already contacted Moderna and AstraZeneca and arranged for funding to cover the initial clinical trials. At that time, only about five cases had been found in the United States.

Laura Glass Laura Glass was in elementary school when she got interested in making computer models of disease spread.

Her father, Bob Glass, was a scientist at Sandia National Labs and helped Laura with her science fair projects creating these models. Over time, her models became more and more sophisticated, and she came up with insights into ways to reduce the spread of disease that no one else had thought of – such as determining locations where spread was taking place and shutting down those places. In 2006, as a teenager, Laura built an analytic tool to understand the movement of disease through a population – a tool that decision makers could use to help stop an outbreak.

Bob Glass wrote an academic paper to contribute Laura’s work to the field. But no one was interested in publishing it, because he didn’t have the proper credentials.

Eventually, he sent the paper to the Wolverines, and it became part of their thinking.

Laura and Bob’s work on disease modeling contributed to a new understanding that emerged around 2006 and 2007 about how to fight pandemics. Until then, everyone thought vaccines were the only solution, and that until a vaccine was ready, all you could do was isolate ill people and, beyond that, watch as the disease ravages the population. The Glass’s work showed that something could be done, and that a disease could even be completely thwarted through contact restrictions. All of that work and tools to put it into place were ready to go when the Covid pandemic struck.

As Carter Mecher explained, part of the problem with America’s pandemic response was the same as with fire: “We are reactive and tend to only intervene when things are getting bad. And what we underestimate is the speed of what’s bad moves.” u

MAYOR’S MONTHLY REPORT AL GAMEROS CITY OF GLOBE COVID UPDATE AND VACCINES As the country and our state continue to open up and ease restrictions, we must still be aware and cautious that the Covid pandemic is still very much active. With the new Delta variant responsible for 26% of new cases in the United States, we must continue to listen to CDC guidelines so we can prevent a continued rise in numbers and have to return to restrictions. We can all do our part by considering getting vaccinated. With only 54% of Arizonans who have received at least one dose, our state is still averaging 447 new cases daily and 308 new deaths for the month. Gila County is averaging five new cases daily. There was a gathering of vaccinated and unvaccinated people in northern Gila County that is being monitored that accounted for 31 new cases.

The reporting of weekly numbers for the Globe-Miami community has been discontinued for now due to the very low number of new cases in our area. You can still get a vaccination at the local Health Department by making an appointment at (928) 910-4009. You can also get antibody or Covid testing by calling (928) 961-1284.

TELEGRAPH AND MESCAL FIRES I want to thank the incident commanders and firefighters of both Type 1 teams for their extraordinary work in bringing these fires under control. As the Telegraph fire approached the west side of Miami, it appeared that there would be a loss of many structures in the south hill of the town. But firefighters were able to force the fire south towards the base of the Pinal Mountains to keep it away from the homes. The days that followed would be a battle to keep the fire out of Russell Gulch, Six Shooter, and Kellner Canyon. As the fire moved southeast, unfortunately it did cause destruction to some homes at El Capitan. Driving between Miami and Superior, it is somewhat somber to see the devastation of this fire to so much beautiful country. But through the devastation, it is amazing that the fire was directed away from so many structures in its path by the tactical operations of the firefighters.

Our efforts as a city now are to concentrate on the

mitigation efforts of post fire flooding with interagency cooperation between the county, Town of Miami, the Department of Emergency Military Affairs, and the Department of Forestry Management. This is our community and we need to be aggressive and address this threat head-on together for the protection of our residents and their property. Our staff has created a three-prong approach concentrating on the following headings: (1) Information that covers the education of our community about the dangers of dry washes and how rapidly they can become consumed by flood waters. In areas of Six Shooter and Kellner, the recommendation in case of flash flooding is to stay in the area and seek higher ground. Prepare your home with sandbags as needed. The county has hired a hydrologist for mapping of water flow, and cameras and flood water detection meters have been placed in various areas to provide early warning of flood waters.

(2) Coordination includes efforts to contact property owners that reside along the waterways throughout our community to get permission and complete cooperation agreements to clean out these areas. These forms are available online or at the Gila County offices, Globe City Hall, and the Town of Miami. All the costs are covered under funding from the state.

(3) Action includes the process of hiring technical teams immediately to complete the work of cleaning out all the waterways that travel through our community.

This also includes the preparation of filling sandbags and making them readily available for residents that are located in low lying areas.

We signed an original Declaration of Emergency when the fire approached our city to be eligible for assistance from the state. A second declaration was signed to be eligible for funding from a $75 million Wildfire Relief Package that was created for post fire mitigation by the approval of a joint committee of the Senate and House and signed by the governor. The rapid approval of this package has given us the opportunity to begin our planning strategy immediately. The BAER Team has been in the areas of the burn scar to begin mitigation of rushing waters and complete soil sampling of the depth of the burn to determine the severity of the fire.

FLOOD WASH DANGERS We cannot emphasize enough the importance of being aware of weather updates and of the dangers of our dry washes. It is especially more important now due to the fires that have occurred around our community, as water may move more rapidly and in larger amounts.

by Governor Ducey with modified changes that will have a less negative effect on funding to our city than first anticipated. The efforts of the legislature, led by Representative David Cook and Senator Boyer, were attempts to keep cities harmless from the deficit created by this bill. The bill raises the percentage of state shared revenues from 15% to 18%, giving additional revenue to help offset the cost of the tax deficit. With this change, it means that the anticipated loss of revenue to the City of Globe will decrease from $360,000 to around $35,000 annually.

PROJECTS IN PROGRESS Our Recreational Master Plan is in full swing with the Council approval of $500,000 to go towards the refurbish proposal for the Community Center Pool and the commitment to be open by next summer. The balance of the funding for the full project will come from grant opportunities and stakeholder funds. The commitment of the City is to upgrade equipment and offer additional outdoor recreational opportunities for our community and especially our youth. The City also announced that they were awarded $480,000 from BHP to go towards purchase of new playground equipment at the Community Center and City Hall. This funding will also be used for a splash pad, adult exercise equipment, and water bottle filling stations in the downtown area.

BHP is committed to offering additional recreational opportunities now, especially with the restrictions that have been placed on Old Dominion Mine Park as they go through the testing process of the tailings on their property.

BUDGET On June 29, a special budget meeting was held to approve the 2021-2022 Tentative Budget in the amount of $53,849,344 under Resolution 1839. The final budget will be approved on July 27. The actual estimated operational budget is around $12 million for the year. The additional amount in the budget is to allow for possible funding opportunities that may become available through grants and loans in the year. There is a tremendous amount of work and activity that is going on to bring future funding opportunities for the benefit of our City’s taxpayers.

Around Globe: Projects In-Motion

9

BY THEA WILSHIRE

Globe’s 4 Pillars of Success With years of foundational work, a striking number of capital improvement projects in Globe balance on the cusp of success.

“It’s a great time to be in Globe with so many projects dovetailing to support each other,” states Linda Oddonetto, the Globe Economic Development Director.

For those in the know, hope and momentum are building. However, because so much of the work is accomplished behindthe-scenes, many people are not aware of the investments of time, energy, and resources that are occurring. “There is a lot of foundational work that has to go into a project before you see the visual results,” explained Oddonetto.

This column will bring residents upto-date on the positive things coming to Globe by focusing on a few projects each month as organized under the four pillars for community health found in the City Council’s Strategic Action Plan: quality of life, economic development, public safety, and infrastructure.

Value of Recreation A foundational element of “quality of life” is recreation, which consistently emerges as a significant priority for the Globe-Miami area.

“We’ve accomplished quite a few of our recreational goals already,” says Oddonetto.

“We are partnering with the Cobre Valley Watershed Partnership Group. We applied to the Arizona Healthy Communities for a large capital improvement grant for our pool and are moving forward with a Globe Recreational Master Plan and the creation of a Regional Trails Master Plan.”

The city’s Community Investment Plan includes upgrades to park equipment and bathrooms, as well as new recreation options like a splash pad and stand-alone skate park. Additionally, Oddonetto shared multiple grant possibilities in the pipeline for ballfield enhancements, walking amenities, playgrounds, and trails.

Recreation was already a priority, but Oddonetto explains that its importance “was heightened with the loss of trail access at the Old Dominion at the same time that we saw an increase in the demand for outdoor recreation as a response to COVID.” Because July is National Parks and Recreation month, the City of Globe’s progress with recreation is this month’s focus, highlighting a large recreation gift from BHP and remediation work in Pinal Creek that might be leveraged into plans for a multimodal trail.

Huge Recreation Gift BHP is one of the world’s largest mining corporations and stewards multiple closed heritage properties in our region. They support community vibrancy by partnering with the towns hosting their properties to support community-driven priorities.

Because of this, BHP invested effort and funding to help make the Old Dominion Mine Park (ODMP) a regional resource. They were as disappointed as many residents when half of the park’s trails were closed in response to safety remediation requirements dictated

by international tailings dam catastrophes (to better understand this complicated situation, see the 2/21/20 “Chasing our Tailings” article on the GMT website).

While working to get the ODMP trails reopened to the public, BHP is supporting other recreation opportunities, like partnering with the Cobre Valley Regional Medical Center to create a flat 1-mile path around Miami Gardens to support walking and reduce stress for both medical staff and families undergoing medical emergencies.

Additionally, BHP announced in June they are generously committing an additional half a million dollars to our region for recreation. This includes $250,000 for new playgrounds at both the Community Center and Veteran’s Park (AKA: the train park); $100,000 for adult/senior outdoor fitness and mobility equipment; and $100,000 for a splash fountain to provide kids a chance to cool down until our pool reopens. To increase the walkability of Globe’s historic downtown, BHP is investing $30,000 for water stations and $20,000 for public art. More information on all of these projects will be forthcoming.

The Pinal Creek Rail Trail Project (AKA: Pinal Creek Linear Park, Pinal Creek Greenbelt, Cobre Valley Rail Trail) is planned as a transportation corridor along the creek and through downtown Globe. Supporting walking, running, biking, and wheelchair mobility, the trail is designed with both paved and unpaved paths, benches, art, and water stations. Trail construction is proposed in three phases beginning with the creek section from the Community Center to Connie’s Bridge, then moving onto the streets from Connie’s Bridge to the North Broad Street trestle, before finishing with another creek section from the trestle to just past the Old Dominion Mine Park.

In place since 1992, multiple plan iterations have occurred. On 7/13/21, a proposal will be presented to Globe City Council that includes work started by Wilson Engineering, a company that has

implemented greenbelt projects in other rural communities with similar economic profiles. Wilson will suggest a Request for Proposals be issued for firms that can develop the scope of project, engineering plans, and finance strategies; and then will oversee project management and implementation.

This represents more hopeful progress than has occurred in years.

Melissa Steele, Economic Development Specialist, has been working on a marketing strategy for our regional recreation. She supports the new trail and says, “With the fire, we just lost national forest trails for years to come, so investment in new trails is a great economic activator. We know recreation is an economic driver. We can prepare new trails now to link with our forest trails when they return.”

The quality of life in Globe-Miami is looking bright. u

Creek Remediation Supports Trail Because of the loss of water-slowing vegetation during our recent wildfires, Pinal Creek is now primed for flooding. This could be devasting with the start of monsoon season. To facilitate quick intervention, Mayor Al Gameros has declared a state of emergency to speed procurement, the city has appropriated $100 million in Arizona fire recovery funds, Temporary Construction Easements have been requested, and a governmental partnership between Gila County, Globe, and Miami began work in June while the smoke from the Telegraph Fire was still clearing. The city hopes the project will be completed by mid-July.

As awful as the fire losses are and as serious as the new threat is, a silver lining has emerged: the remediation work might be leveraged to start work on a planned multimodal trail.

The profile on Pete Page is perhaps one of my personal favorites because it was such a serendipitous eye-opener for me. I had known Pete for nearly ten years as my “appliance repair guy,” who could fix just about anything and could keep old appliances running long past their expiration dates. But when I launched the idea for a Five & Dive Tour to attract motorcycle riders to town that summer, everyone I talked to said I needed to interview Pete Page. His story was richer than I could ever have imagined.

Turns out he used to race bikes in England before coming here on a crosscountry trip with a friend on two rented BMW bikes. He told me after the paper came out that so many people had stopped in to say how much they had enjoyed his story. He passed away a couple of years later, and I was so glad we got the story of Pete Page on paper. This idea, of telling the stories of people who make up our community, is a cornerstone of GMT.

GET ER DONE AWARDS: THE PEOPLE OF OUR COMMUNITY MAKING A DIFFERENCE Historic D owntown Globe

365 N Broad Street Globe, AZ 928.473.192 8 Wed–Sat 11a m-9:30pm; Closed: Sun -Tues www.bloom onbroad.co m

The Get Er Done series began in 2014 to celebrate people in the community who were making a difference. Since then we’ve profiled dozens, including Joe Sanchez, Ed Ortega, Susan Hansen, Roberto Reveles, Malissa Buzzan, Bruce Bender, and many others over the years.

APACHE SKATEBOARDS – REDEFINING THE LANDSCAPE

This feature followed on the heels of the documentary “Mystery of Now,” featuring Douglas Miles Jr. and Sr. and the culture they created as a result of launching Apache Skateboards. Our story looks at the skaters and the creators as they continue to attract a following.

LOVE STORY: TONY & ESTER SANCHEZ

We are often inspired by those around us, and Tony and Ester epitomize a series about love stories that was launched with them in mind. We featured their story on their 50th wedding anniversary in 2018. Tony, who played in a band, was rarely available to dance with Ester at events for much of their marriage.

Once he retired, they made up for lost time and danced every chance they got. Well known for breaking out in dance while waiting in line, in a crowd, or at an event, they were recently immortalized in Patty Sjolin’s mural in Miami.

[EXCERPT] The legacy of perseverance plays a large role in “The Mystery of Now,” just as it has played a large role in Doug Jr.’s life. Spending the last 19 years of his life on a board, fueling the skating movement in San Carlos as a teenager and growing into it as a young adult, at a certain age, he realized he had to make a decision.

JULY 2021

A GENERATION OF BEADING: DALE & CLAIRE GILBERT

My profile on Dale and Claire was one of GMT’s first full-length features on the artistry coming out of San Carlos. Dale and I had met through our work at the casino, and I was familiar with his reputation as a beader, but getting an interview was another thing.

As I would find out, it’s not in the nature of Apache people to talk about themselves, but I was able to convince him that stories like his were important to tell – not only for our readers, but for future generations to know.

The craftsmanship. The lessons learned along the way. The partnership and mentors who made it possible. These continue to be important in the stories we tell.

THE EVOLUTION OF A BAND: THE SOUNDS OF MIAMI Music has always been a big part of GlobeMiami’s history, and its early roots go back to the George Sanchez Orchestra. Their influence lives on in the Globe-Miami Centennial band, which we profiled in 2014, and the band Imagine, also known simply as “Neto and Band.”

[EXCERPT] With trumpets, trombones, and saxophones in hand, Miami Big Band Sound has entertained at First Friday events like this – as well as reunions, weddings, benefits, birthdays and anniversaries anywhere from here to Kearny and Phoenix – for the last 24 years.

NANCY SHEPPARD: LIVING THE RODEO DREAM

We have lots of talented, noteworthy people who have led big lives and have the stories to tell. It’s what keeps GMT going. One of those is Nancy Sheppard, whom we interviewed in 2015, when she was 85.

She performed in rodeos from California to Boston to Texas before coming back to Gila County with her husband Lynn and raising a family. At 85, she was still doing rope tricks and performing at local events.

COPPER MINING IN THE CORRIDOR In 2019 GMT did a year long series on Women in Mining and profiled 12 women who hold various jobs in local mining operations.

In 2020 we focused on Second Generation Miners - individuals who had followed in the steps of family members and now work in mining.

NOTEWORTHY EVENTS HOSTED BY GMT OVER THE YEARS

FINAL SALUTE

When the the Hollis family announced they would be closing the Drive-In in the summer of 2013, I felt it was something that should have its own event to mark the occasion. After getting approval from Bobby Hollis, we went to work on planning for that fall. The event attracted the notice of newspapers and radio stations from around the state and was even carried by NPR. We brought in 7 tons of sand for a dance floor, got the use of the casino’s mobile stage, designed custom popcorn cans and keychains and gave out prizes for dance, dress and group presentations.

“Tonight’s movie was supposed to be that Charles Grodin/Robert De Niro flick, “Midnight Run.” It was partially filmed in Globe. However, 35 millimeter prints of it simply don’t exist anymore. But looking around the Apache’s grounds, maybe that was meant to be. It’s hard to imagine a 1980’s crime caper stirring up this much excitement - or a Big Hair Contest.“ Stina Sieg, KJZZ

GHS CENTENNIAL

Globe’s Centennial was produced by a committee of many individuals who designed a memorable 4 day event for locals and alumni, many who flew in from all over the US to celebrate this milestone for their alma mater. GMT produced a special publication on behalf of the Centennial which included local business ads. We took this one step further by getting current students to participate in the ads by showing up at local businesses. In addition, we played off the fact that despite a fierce rivalry between Globe Tigers and Miami Vandals, many successful marriages and work environments are a mix of Tigers and Vandals. It was fun for everyone to put these together.

The full story can be found on the GMT website: Final Salute to the Apache Drive In, along with our photo album from both the event and the photo booth.

Globe Miami Times was thrilled to bring Mountainfilm on Tour to Globe Miami in the fall of 2019 and be able to feature the San Carlos documentary film, “The Mystery of Now,” which had been selected by Mountainfilm to include in their world tour that year.

In addition, thanks to the efforts of Superintendent Jerry Jennex, and his staff at High Desert Middle School, we had a beautiful new screen and sound system worthy of a Mountainfilm production and the ability to seat hundreds.

Thanks to our sponsors, we were able to book Mountainfilm on Tour for two days and arrange for 2 separate showings at the school ; one geared to middle school kids and a second one geared to high school age kids. Both Miami and San Carlos bused kids in for these showings and the night of the big event we hosted over 300 people.

FIVE AND DIVE

The idea of the Five and Dive Tour was prompted by a need to generate some traffic for our bars and restaurants during the long, hot summer months and someone told me that bikers ride “no matter what!” So we designed a tour geared towards those who prefer to cruise the back roads on two wheels and worked with over 30 merchants throughout the area who participated in the event. We made it into a scavenger hunt which ran from June 18th to September 10th in which riders could complete the loop, and collect points for prizes.

Operation Sandbag

BY THEA WILSHIRE

The call went out by text and Facebook posts: help was needed Friday, July 2 from 7 to 9 am to fill sandbags. Following our recent fires, flood risk is high and multiple mitigation efforts are underway. Globe Mayor Al Gameros explained, “We need to come together as a community at this time.”

Fortunately, that is happening.

The mines and local businesses have donated hundreds of pallets and there are now multiple sandbag stations set up around the community. For the 20,000+ filled sand bags, the first volunteers to help were local 4H kids, Globe High School football team players, and Boy Scouts. Department of Corrections inmates have filled thousands of bags by hand in their prison yard. The US Forest Service Globe Ranger Station and the UofA Cooperative Extension are scheduled to begin filling another 100,000 empty bags and other volunteers are needed. All of this is in addition to the Gila County Public Works crews who have worked tirelessly every day, including weekends and the holiday.

Map of flood risk areas from the Telegraph Fire, watersheds impacted

For the Friday sandbag work party, volunteers arrived without knowing what to expect. Michelle Yerkovich laughed as she said, “I brought a shovel. I thought we’d be mucking. This is so much better!” The “better” was a well-organized and efficient system that could fill an entire pallet of sand bags in 5-10 minutes and ended up creating 2000 sand bags that morning.

Workers with heavy equipment filled dump trucks with sand from around the local washes, then deposited the sand at work sites.

At the Gila County Public Works site, two large sandbag machines were set up. Loaders were dropping a full bucket of sand every 10-15 minutes in each of two machines to keep them operating. Workers put empty sand bags under chutes on the machines and then stepped on foot pedal releases to fill. The heavy bags were passed assembly-line style to another set of volunteers who tied the bags closed, then a different crew loaded the bags onto pallets with about 50 sand bags. Plastic was wrapped around the full pallets to secure the bags and heavy equipment moved these pallets into a yard until crews with work trucks, like those donated by Dalmolin, could transport the pallets around the community.

If you need sandbags, they are available free of charge at Gila County Public Works, Miami Police Department, Canyon Fire Department, and at Mackey’s Camp. Seniors and disabled residents can request sandbag assistance by contacting Stacie Espinoza with Gila County at 928-402-4336.

With heightened flood risk for the next few years, it is wise to know safety procedures if a flood warning is given. First, find shelter right away or seek higher ground. Flash floods move very quickly! Don’t walk, swim or drive in floodwaters as only 6 inches of moving water can knock you down and 1 foot of water can sweep away a car. Stay off bridges over fast-moving water. The best practice is “turn around, don’t drown.”

If you have not done so yet, please sign up for free real-time emergency alerts by phone, text or email through Everbridge. This service can be accessed through the Gila County Emergency Management website.

Fortunately, at this time of need, many people are doing whatever they can to help.

Janis Bentz, a school teacher on summer break, showed up to fill sandbags. “I heard that help was needed, so I came.” u

n Saturday, June 26th the CCYS Piranhas competed against the Coolidge Dolphins and the Tucson Aqua Bears in their second swim meet of the season. Around one hundred swimmers converged on Coolidge for the 8 a.m. start time. The Piranhas performed well in spite of the many challenges facing them this year.

Coach Barry Schwenk said, “I am always impressed with the way that our community steps up during difficult times. I appreciated how the town of Miami stepped up to give the Piranhas a home for several years and then when we were homeless again, the Cobre Valley Recreation Center stepped in.

This year has been challenging in many ways and although it is disappointing not being able to host swim competitions, I am happy that our kids have a place to practice and hone their skills.”

The Piranhas have two more swim meets to compete in before championships take place on Saturday, July 24. u

JULY 2021

A Look at COVID: July 2021 ARIZONA VIEW

WORLD VIEW

✦ Globally, total reported cases of Covid stood at 183,850,000 on July 9, and total deaths had reached 3,940,000.

USA VIEW

✦ July 9, total reported cases in the USA reached 33,769,600 and total deaths stood at 605,792.

✦ The USA fell short of President Biden’s goal of vaccinating at least 70% of Americans with at least one dose by the Fourth of July.

✦ June 9, the world saw 282,641 new cases and 6,869 deaths.

These numbers are mostly likely low due to undercounting.

✦ As of July 9, 48% of the US population is fully vaccinated and 55% GLOBE-MIAMI have had at least one dose.

VIEW

✦ Currently, the UK and Spain are experiencing spikes due to the ARIZONA VIEW Delta variant.

✦ Across June, the USA was seeing fewer new reported cases and fewer deaths per day than since the beginning of the pandemic in March 2020.

✦ Worldwide, more than 3.35 billion doses of vaccine have been administered – 44 doses for every 100 people. ✦In vaccination numbers, there is a deep divide between rich and poor countries and continents. In North America, there have been 76 doses administered per 100 people, while in Africa there have been 4.

✦ However, case numbers have begun to trend slowly upward, mainly because of local outbreaks in places with low vaccination rates – particularly in Arkansas, Missouri, Texas, and Nevada. East of the Mississippi and on the West Coast, case rates remain very low.

✦ This poses a problem not only of compassion but also of public health, as variants can emerge in areas where the virus continues to spread, and those variants can go global because the vaccines were not designed for them.

✦ In June, 99.2% of U.S. deaths due to Covid were unvaccinated people.

USA VIEW

✦ States with low vaccination rates are seeing nearly three times the new case rate as states with high vaccination rates.

GLOBE-MIAMI VIEW

✦ Research showed that vaccination has prevented 279,000 deaths and 1,250,000 hospitalizations in the United States.

“The solution WORLD VIEW is the vaccinations.”

✦ Nationwide, cases increased 10% in the last week of June/first week of July because of the spread of the more contagious Delta variant and low vaccination rates in some areas.

–Asa Hutchinson, Republican governor of Arkansas

ARIZONA VIEW

✦ July 9, the CDC issued advice for US schools to hold in-person learning in the fall, even if they are unable to follow recommendations for mitigation. However, the CDC continues to recommend 3-foot social distancing and masking indoors.

✦ Arizona has seen a total of 898,908 cases and 18,003 deaths attributed to Covid.

“We can all do our part by considering getting vaccinated.”

✦ Compared to the rest of the country, Arizona is on the high end in terms of cases per capita, at 7 new cases per day per 100,000. This makes Arizona tied with Oklahoma and Kansas for 10th highest rate in the country.

USA VIEW

–Mayor Al Gameros

✦ In Arizona, 44% of the population is fully vaccinated and 51% have had at least one dose.

GILA COUNTY VIEW

✦ In June, Gov. Ducey issued an order prohibiting universities and colleges from requiring students to get vaccinated, to get tested or to wear a mask to participate in learning.

GLOBE-MIAMI ✦ July 1, Gov. Ducey rescinded 25 Covid-related executive orders, VIEW

although many provisions will remain in force because they will become part of regular legislation. For example, the order banning “vaccine passports” is being rescinded and the ban will become part of state policy.

“Our economy is on the move, and we have Covid-19 on the run.”

– President Joe Biden

✦As of July 9, Gila County was seeing an average of 3 new cases per day. ✦However,

Gila County’s test positivity rate is high, which means there may well be many cases that are not being counted.

✦ The Delta variant was identified in India in December 2020. It is more contagious and more severe than other strains of Covid.

DELTA VARIANT UPDATE

✦ Delta has become the dominant strain in the USA, accounting for more than 50% of cases. ✦ The Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine is believed to be roughly 96% effective against Delta, and the AstraZeneca vaccine 92%. (Exact numbers are difficult to obtain because of the challenges of conducting controlled trials.) ✦Solid

information about the effectiveness of the Moderna and J&J vaccines isn’t yet available.

✦ To date, Gila County has had 7,132 reported cases and 230 deaths, with 1,375 cases in zip code 85501.

✦ “Effective” means that the vaccines prevent symptoms, hospitalization, and deaths. They don’t necessarily prevent infection and transmission. This means people who have been vaccinated are largely protected against getting sick, but they may still be able to contract the infection without showing symptoms, and pass the virus on to other people. If those other people haven’t been vaccinated, they could get sick. Since the Delta variant is more severe, there’s a higher than ever chance that people who do get sick could get very sick and even die. ✦ Although the CDC issued guidance in May that vaccinated people don’t need to wear masks indoors, the World Health Organization has recommended that vaccinated people do continue to mask up indoors, due to the spread of the Delta variant – to help protect unvaccinated people.

LIBRARY, Continued from page 1 “It’s not just about instilling in kids the love of reading,” says Robin Wurst, a retired early education specialist and Storytime volunteer since 2012, “We try to teach the parents how to support early literacy development.”

Robin is also President of Friends of the Library (FOL), a local non-profit organization that exists to support the library where city and county budgets fall short. FOL receives grants through the Globe-Miami United Fund which fund the “lion’s share” of library programming.

“Within our community there are so many resources waiting to be tapped,” says Robin. “My priority is to discover and coordinate people and their ideas, expertise, generosity and energy.”

FOL has collaborated with the Humane Society and Cobre Valley Youth Club to create Shelter Buddies. A brainstorm by Thea Wilshire, the new program involves local youth reading aloud to homeless dogs at the animal shelter.

FOL has purchased books and will train volunteers to assess.

“The purpose is to make children more comfortable with reading,” says Rayel.

Shelter Buddies was funded through a $10K United Fund “Year of Yes” grant that encourages nonprofits to work together. Implementation of the program has been delayed

by Covid and then the fires, and since the inception of the idea, all three organizations have new directors.

“All are super enthusiastic about continuing,” says Rayel, “so that made me feel great.”

A Place to Meet and Learn “A library offers more than books,” Rayel says. “It offers lifelong learning experiences and helps people find jobs.”

Rayel was born in Miami, grew up in Globe and earned an MA in Information Resources & Library Science from the University of Arizona. As a child she participated in the Summer Reading program at Globe Public Library and the Old Dominion Library before it burnt to the ground in 1981.

The current building was adopted as the library in 1986.

“I would love to see a new library built while I’m director,” says Rayel.

A larger modern facility for the library is the singular goal of the library’s 5-year strategic plan, approved in June 2018.

Rayel doesn’t expect it in the next two years. Police and fire come first.

“The safety of the citizenry should be our top priority,” she says, “but eventually the library will get attention.”

drive, Friends of the Library (FOL) are putting attention on the library’s outdoor space, currently a few shaded picnic tables enclosed by a chain link fence installed by the city to prevent vandalism.

“I love the outdoor space,” says Rayel. “I wish it were more usable.”

To that end, Robin and FOL have enlisted the help of Rachel Hansen of Tallyho Engineering. With input from the Library Director and FOL Membership committee, they have produced initial renderings of a new vision for the outdoor space. It includes more shade, plant life, flexible seating for reading and fundraising pavers. “ I value the library and it is my way of contributing,” says Rachel.

She’s also working with artist Kerrie Graham on a colorful mural for the library’s west wall, originally proposed as an Eagle Scout project by Bradley Pollock in November 2019.

With financial support from FOL, the project was prepped in

early 2020. Then the primer peeled, Covid hit, the project was put on hold and Bradley left on a mission in Slovenia. His Aunt Kerrie agreed to carry the idea forward. The bookshelf design will include classic literature, works from local authors and an image of the Old Dominion Library. Hundreds of volunteer hours will go into the final product. Kerrie painted her first mural in high school and stays inspired by her grandmother’s last words to her:“Keep painting. Let it bring joy to others.”

Grand Re-Opening In May, all restrictions for in-person use of the library were lifted. Patrons are asked to respect social distancing and optional mask-wearing.

On August 6, the library will host a grand re-opening to celebrate. Friends of the Library will share the vision for the outdoor space and provide light refreshments. There will be a scavenger hunt for the kids. u

Fuel Tax & Funding Facts

PHOTO COURTESY OF RICK POWERS

Pygmy owls, believed to be in the Roosevelt area, delayed the SR-188 project due to owl mating season. The restriction was lifted when no owls were found in the area.

In late June, the State Senate passed a Capital Outlay Bill that includes $320 million in one-time funding for transportation. It covers 23 projects, including nearly $1.2 million for the Hill Street Corridor in Globe.

Most transportation projects are funded by a combination of federal (94.3%) and state funds (5.7%). A major source of funding for transportation projects comes from taxes on gasoline: federal (18.4 cents) and state (18 cents). Arizona’s rate is the fifth lowest in the country and has not changed in 20 years. From Steve’s perspective, this is one part of the problem.

“The other piece is that cars are more fuel-efficient or not using fuel at all,” he says. “They produce the same wear and tear on the roads.”

Ideas that may ensure drivers pay their fair share of road care include licensing, paying by the mile, and tolls for some roads and highways. Steve advocated for a toll on I-15, which traverses sensitive environmental areas like Virgin Gorge.

“It’s a highly sensitive environmental area, expensive to do work on,” Steve explains, “and semis can pull triple trailers.”

Arizona has more than 146,000 lane miles - the 33rd highest in the country. In federal lane miles, Arizona ranks second. ADOT allocates funds as follows: 37% to Maricopa, 13% to Pima, and the other 13 counties compete for the remaining 50%.

Steve and Mary Lou worked together for the City of Globe. “For me it was a learning process about how local government works and the influence residents have when they address the council,” says Mary Lou Stratton. Over 20 years later, Steve proposed to Mary Lou at a Transportation Board Meeting at Camp Birdie. They were married in May, 2017.

“We’re growing as a state, and most of the population growth is coming in Pima and Maricopa and Pinal counties,” Steve says. “But all of those people use the other roads in Arizona, most of all the tourists.”

With wider, safer roads, the size and weight of allowable freight can be increased, which positively impacts the area’s mining industry, interstate commerce, and the traveling public. However, money to maintain interstates such as I-15, I-40, I-10, and I-8 comes out of 50% of the funds dedicated to rural Arizona, which impacts the amount left for the other state-maintained roads in Arizona. And this leaves the rural roads used primarily by locals often neglected.

The Chairman, the Diplomat & the District Engineer Steve Stratton grew up in Globe, third generation. As a boy, he worked for his grandfather, a painter and prospector.

His father ran an industrial painting business and worked in the mines. Steve graduated from Globe High School and attended ASU in engineering. Still a big Sun Devils fan, he left early to help with family businesses and his sister’s illness.

Steve spent years working for Sundt Construction before becoming Public Works Director for the City of Globe and then City Administrator (1994-1998). He credits his time with Sundt Construction and working in his family’s businesses with giving him the expertise needed to take on both City positions.

He teamed with vice-mayor Ross Bittner and Mary Lou Tamplin, his assistant, to push through 17 annexations (including the Walmart one) to increase the population and sales tax revenue for the City of Globe.

“Every city and town gets state-shared revenue based on population,” Steve explains, “and if you get 10,000 people, you may get more attention, such as a bigger dot on the map.”

He and Ross were also behind the successful effort to get Globe added to highway signage in the Valley. As a destination, Globe deserved to have signs along the highway, they argued.

At the time, the Governor’s office had two people from Globe on its staff - Joe Albo and Paul Waddell - and Steve and Ross were willing to “go to the ninth floor” to get them involved if they didn’t get the answer they were looking for, explains Steve. But it was unnecessary.

“We got what we came for,” he told Ross.

Economic development and transportation are intricately intertwined. As Public Works Director for Gila County (2002-2015), one of Steve’s duties was to “get close” to the Transportation board.

The transportation board member for District #4 at the time was Ingo Radicke (1937-2009), also from Globe. Born in Berlin, he escaped Germany during World War II in the trunk of a car. He came to the U.S. in 1959, worked for Cable One for 37 years, and served the community in countless ways. He was on the Transportation Board from 1998 to 2004.

“He was the go-getter and had a lot of political clout,” recalls Rick Powers, former ADOT district engineer. “He was involved in everything.”

Rick worked for ADOT for 29 years and currently consults for the industry. He and Ingo were neighbors and friends; they shared fireside chats, and Rick encouraged Ingo to apply for the transportation board position.

“He was very fair,” Rick recalls. “We looked out for our area, but he looked at the whole picture.”

With colleagues in the highway department, Rick produced the road safety and usage studies needed to secure funding for two major projects that happened while Ingo was on the board - 188 to Roosevelt and the widening of Highway 60. Steve Stratton lobbied from his county seat.

“Ingo said that everything we did was a team effort,” Rick remembers.

Ingo had extraordinary team-building skills, according to Rick; some of his teams numbered in the hundreds. He credits Ingo with inclusiveness, attention to detail, creative problem-solving, and good relationships with everyone from legislators to engineers.

“He built the bridge from both ends to the middle,” says Rick.

At the time, freeways were being built in Phoenix, and there was a “big rift” between urban and rural priorities.

Ingo was instrumental in getting committed rural funding

Florence Junction and Gonzales Pass projects were approved with the help of Ingo, Rick and Steve to improve safety and speed the Highway 60 corridor for economic growth. Fatalities suffered by local families inspired their efforts.

through the Highway User Revenue Fund (HURF), including to fund the installation of electronic road signs in the rural areas for safety.

Locally, Ingo procured funding for bridge repairs in Miami, the entry to downtown Globe, and sidewalks on Highway 60. He tapped into money for enhancement projects, a subprogram of ADOT that no longer exists.

“We got a lot of projects through that funding, like the windows in the depot station,” says Rick Powers.

“Ingo didn’t live to see it done, but he got it started.”

Unique among board members, Ingo dug into the details. He was known to call district engineers to report potholes.
