BUSINESS AS USUAL IN UNUSUAL TIMES: WOMEN PERSIST I

n recognition of Women’s History Month, we put a spotlight on women owned and managed businesses in Globe’s historic downtown business district – revisiting a similar piece we did in 2009 and updating the record. (See Broads of Broad Street, Winter 2009). Nationally women represent over 40% of all businesses in the country, and in rural communities that representation is more like 60%. In our downtown district nearly two out of every three businesses are either owned or managed by women. The photo session and the business listings seen here are a partial reflection of the total number. We have quite a legacy in Globe-Miami and Gila County of strong, resourceful women. And this year has tested that resourcefulness as never before. And still each persisted. Several of the women in this list actually opened their businesses in 2020, during the pandemic, while others adjusted their hours or the way they conducted business, adapting as necessary. We salute you all for your persistence and passion in offering your business services to our community.

So Many Choices Helping Students Navigate the Future

Move over, Danny Ocean: possibly the largest fraud ever attempted in American history – against the U.S. Government – occurred right here in Arizona, in the 1880s and 90s. If it had succeeded, James Addison Reavis would have acquired ownership of nearly 19,000 square miles of the Southwest, including Phoenix, the Salt River Valley, the Gila Valley, and Clifton – all the way to Silver City, New Mexico. Reavis would have become the owner of some of the richest Depiction of the fictional First Baron of Arizona created by James mines in the territory, and Addison Reavis as part of the we would all probably know Peralta-Reavis land grant fraud. his name. As it happened, Arizona Memory Project Reavis didn’t get away with it – instead, he went to prison in New Mexico. Reavis’s colorful story is told in The Story of Arizona, by Will H. Robinson, published in Phoenix in 1919. Here’s an excerpt. (You can read the whole story by going to the website archive.org and searching for the title of the book.)

High school students face a lot of choices. Most local students aspire to higher education. Many have an eye toward the trades, a few to the military and some to something else. “My job is to help them figure out what that something else is and help them prepare for it,” says Aja DeZeeuw. “I want students to know and feel they can be successful at that next level.” As school counselor for more than 500 students at Globe High School (GHS), DeZeeuw is responsible for three critical pillars of student success: School Counselors, Continued on page 22

“The question isn’t who’s going to let me. It’s who is going to stop me.” ~ Ayn Rand

Photography for Women in Business was done by by Yevette Vargas. Yevette Vargas Photography specializes in “photographig all tings people for over 20 years.”

PUBLISHER’S NOTE A year ago at this time, The Huddle had just wrapped up another successful GlobeFest, and the Rotary had hosted their annual big fundraiser at the Center for the Arts. The Chamber was planning for the 34th Annual Home Tour in April, and meeting friends for a drink or to work out at the gym was a normal part of our routine. And then COVID took over. It’s been quite a year. But Gila County and all its partners have done us proud in rolling out a vaccination program that’s the envy of much of the country. Our Health Department created a command center, eliminating online registration and investing in a call center to respond to people’s questions and get them scheduled for appointments to get vaccinated (p. 16). Volunteers signed on to be vaccinators, multiple sites were set up to accommodate as many people as possible, and 2,600 vaccines continue to arrive each week for distribution. The result has been a 52% plunge in new cases. It’s a sign that we could be looking at normal by the Fourth of July - if, as the experts advise, we continue to vaccinate, mask, and socially distance. Let’s do it! This issue leads off with a celebration of National Women’s History month by recognizing women business owners and managers in Globe’s Historic District. I first did this in 2009, when 17 women met up with me in downtown Globe for a photo op. Since that time, we’ve lost a few icons of Globe’s business district, including Doris Bacon and Mary Bernstein - but business has continued to evolve, and new womenled ventures have opened up. While not everyone was able to make the photo shoot on Tuesday, I was happy to see

more than 20 women brave that cold, blustery afternoon for a photo op with Yevette Vargas and myself (p. 1). I’m thinking now that this should be an annual event, instead of waiting another 12 years before the next one. So please, mark your calendars. As for other new business in downtown Globe, the passage of Prop. 207, legalizing recreational marijuana, has created a land rush in downtown Globe, where multiple entities are making bids for locations and licenses to operate in the historic district. The City is in the process of drafting guidelines, due out in April (p. 17). And with graduation just months away, we talked to the school counselors who’ve been helping students navigate their options in taking the next step, whether that’s college, trade school, or something else (p. 1). It’s a critical role in giving students a leg up on the journey from high school to “what’s next” and helping them through the trials and tribulations of high school. It’s easy to see that we could use three times the number of people we have in this role - but school budgets haven’t allowed for more than one position for decades. Good that we have the talented and dedicated counselors that we do! Finally, with planting season just around the corner, it’s a good time to plan a garden, plant some flowers, and do a rain dance (or two). Here’s wishing you a successful growing season, whatever your plans!

THE COLOR OF POLAR BEARS BY PATRICIA SANDERS

I read once about a psychologist who went to study people in Siberia, to find out how Siberians think. One question went like this: “In the Far North, where there is snow, all bears are white. Novaya Zembla (the name of a town) is in the Far North, and there is always snow there. What color are the bears?” What would you say? To me the answer seems obvious: white. But not to the Siberians. They would say things like, “I don’t know. I’ve only ever seen black bears.” The Siberians stuck to what they knew from their own experience—that’s what they knew for the truth. They weren’t about to trust some city slicker telling them about bears in the far north, that they had probably never seen for themselves, either. The psychologist asked one Siberian man the polar bear question a second time, implying that he needed to think about it more. The Siberian man said, grudgingly, “To go by your words, they should all be white.” He knew what answer the psychologist wanted to hear. But he stuck to the truth he knew— what he had experienced firsthand. “Hearsay” is the word for things you only know by hearing about them—things you don’t know from your own experience. And it seems to me that almost everything we “know” is really hearsay. Everything you read in the paper? You’re trusting the reporter to be truthful and accurate. Everything you see on the news? Everything that comes across your Facebook feed or your YouTube player? It’s all things other people are telling you or images they want you to see, the way they want you to see them. Not things you know for yourself, through your own direct experience. Even science, when you get down to it, is hearsay. Whether you believe it or not will depend on how much you trust the scientists, and the people who report on the science.

I’m not saying hearsay is always false. It might very well be true, and a lot of it probably is. After all, hearsay is the only way you can go beyond your own experience to learn about the wider world, about other people’s experiences, about the past and the future. Hearsay tells you the weather will be nice tomorrow so you can plan a ride or a party. Hearsay tells you someone loves you. So you can’t go around disbelieving everything you hear. What those Siberians knew, though, was the importance of how you know things, and why you choose to believe them or not. Which gets to personal integrity, and discernment. When you experience something for yourself, then you know, and you know you know. Everything else needs care and consideration before you take it on board. And what you do know for yourself, I would argue, deserves utmost respect as priceless nuggets of actual truth. So it’s an interesting thing to take five minutes to think about what you know that isn’t hearsay. What you would still say is true if you left out everything that you’ve only heard from other people or seen on a screen. If you sit down with a cup of tea and think about that for five minutes, it really brings you back to awareness of your own life and experiences. Your own perceptions and sensations. Things you’ve seen for yourself, things you really know. There’s a great big world out there that exists beyond each person’s individual experience. It’s important to know about that world—which means working with hearsay. But understanding that that’s what you’re doing. And being aware that there’s a world of difference between hearing about a white bear, and seeing one for yourself. But five minutes of sitting thinking about what you, yourself, know for sure can remind you what genuine truth feels like. And that’s a rare and precious feeling in today’s world.

EARLY GIVING FOR ARIZONA GIVES DAY BEGINS MARCH 16 PHOENIX, Ariz. (March 8, 2021): Early giving begins March 16 for individuals wishing to make donations toward the ninth annual Arizona Gives Day, a 24-hour statewide online fundraising event on Tuesday, April 6. The public and individual businesses also can create their own fundraising page for a specific nonprofit, “which is a great way to show their support for their favorite nonprofit agency,” said Alliance of Arizona Nonprofits CEO Kristen Merrifield. Simply go to the specific organization’s profile page at www.AzGives.org and click on “Create A Fundraiser” to get started. Starting Tuesday, March 16, donors can make early donations by visiting the Arizona Gives Day website at www.AzGives.org and donate immediately by selecting the “Today” button at checkout. Since 2013, Arizona Gives Day has raised more than $23 million for Arizona nonprofits, including a record $6.1 million raised in 2020. Donors preferring to donate during a specific block of time on Arizona Gives Day to help a nonprofit earn additional funds from the prize pool by winning a “Power Hour,” can give on April 6 during the designated time. This year, $160,000 is available in prize pool incentives. Additional funds also are distributed based on categories determined through random drawings, most donors or most dollars raised. “Our statewide nonprofit community continues to struggle to overcome the devastating impact of the COVID pandemic,” Merrifield said. “While we know that every year’s Arizona Gives Day participation provides vital funding for these organizations doing great work, even during unprecedented times, this year’s event could not be more important, not just for the nonprofits but for the individuals, families and communities they serve.” Arizona Gives Day, the annual online giving movement uniting nonprofits, big and small, new and established, to celebrate and increase philanthropy in Arizona through online giving, is a collaboration between the Alliance of Arizona Nonprofits and the Arizona Grantmakers Forum. FirstBank, one of the nation’s largest privately held banks with a focus on “banking for good,” is the Presenting Sponsor. So far, more than 900 Arizona nonprofits have registered and been certified to participate in Arizona Gives Day. Arizona Gives Day is not possible without the support of sponsors FirstBank, Arizona Community Foundation, BHHS Legacy Foundation, Freeport McMoRan Foundation, Hickey Family Foundation, Intel Corporation, Vitalyst Health Foundation, Community Foundation for Southern Arizona, Salt River Project (SRP), Southwest Gas Corporation, Tucson Electric Power/UniSource Energy Services and Sechler Morgan CPA.

MAYOR’S MONTHLY REPORT AL GAMEROS CITY OF GLOBE Covid Update and Vaccinations After recording our worst month of positive cases in the community in January, with 481 cases, February was our lowest number of positive cases since September, with 82 cases. The Health Department also documented seven additional deaths and 18 active cases. The number of daily cases continues to decline statewide and in our community. We need to continue to let science drive our future decisions and be cautious and sensible in order to prevent another spike. Just because some of us have received our vaccine or were positive for Covid does not mean we do not have to continue to follow the CDC guidelines. Our plan as we move forward should be uniform and responsible so we do not send mixed messages. We can never forget those who have died from this horrible virus. We can never forget those who have suffered through Covid and continue to deal with the post symptoms. Our healthcare workers, doctors, nurses, and respiratory techs need a muchneeded break, with all the many sacrifices they have made and hours they have worked. May we all be patient and stay the course and continue to follow all the CDC guidelines. Gila County was not only recognized in the state but also has drawn attention across the nation for being one of the first counties in the country to open up to all phases for people 18 years and older for the vaccine. The success was made possible with the cooperation of all the community partners in the county, with the Gila County Health Department leading the way and building relationships since the beginning of the pandemic. Those partners include the hospitals, schools, mines, local doctor offices, the City of Globe, the Town of Miami, and the National Guard. A major factor was our local hospital, Cobre Valley Regional Medical Center, as they provided the facility and manpower for daily vaccinations. The establishment of a dedicated landline to make appointments by phone was huge for our elderly community, who may not be

proficient with navigating a computer to book an appointment. It is estimated that we are about 38% to 45% vaccinated in our county. We still have a ways to go, but we have a good head start.

Projects In Progress The former East Globe School was purchased by Best Care Behavioral Homes and is currently being upgraded to meet all building and fire code requirements in preparation for opening the facility. They will be providing a much-needed service to our community when dealing with behavioral health patients. The purpose of Best Care is to help clients reach recovery status and help them gain independent living skills. Many rural communities throughout Arizona struggle to provide this type of service, leaving families, first responders, and law enforcement without help and a solution when these individuals are encountered. The staff from Best Care Behavioral has been providing outreach information and even held an open house event recently for the local neighborhood. We welcome them to our community.

business is a bar, they must prepare, cook, and sell food on site in a licensed, permitted kitchen with cooking equipment approved by the county Health Department. Once they receive those local approvals, they can now submit an application to the State Health Department and the State Liquor License Department for the approval to extend their business. In a past meeting, the City Council approved the use of the City’s Jersey barricades for public safety protection to go along with the Executive Order. The City’s responsibility is to set up the barriers and pedestrian fencing, which will be returned to the City. The business is responsible for any other costs, such as materials, supplies, decking, and equipment to complete the extension. A business can apply for funding to help offset the costs for the setup of the extension of premises through the Governor’s Office.

Upcoming Events April 2, 2021: First Friday, Historic Downtown April 16-18, 2021: Gila Monster UTV Fest (trail rides, cornhole tournament, night rides, quick-draw poker, raffles, camping, food and more)

Recognition This month, I want to recognize the Historical Preservation Advisory Commission. These are volunteers that operate as a subcommittee to the City Council to oversee the Historic Downtown District guidelines and compliance and to give recommendations of approval to the City Council. The members are Rachel Hanson (chairman), Kathy Ryan (secretary), Leora Hunsaker, Sherry Rice, James Perry, and Delores Ward.

Community Involvement On December 2, 2020, Governor Ducey signed an Executive Order for temporary approval for the extension of premises for businesses during the Covid crisis. I wanted to explain the process that is available to our local businesses, as there is some misinformation out there. The City of Globe has approved two extension of premises applications for two downtown businesses in an effort to support the Executive Order of Governor Ducey during Covid. The businesses are Farley’s Pub and the Drift Inn. The Executive Order allows a business to temporarily extend their business in order to increase capacity for six months during Covid. The process begins with the business submitting an application for extension of premises to the City for approval. If the

Time Travel Trails #5

VISIT TO A CORAL REEF

BY JOHN TRIMBLE

ur last-time travel trail took us to Round Mountain Park and to the Carboniferous age, where we visited with some creatures that are no longer around but have similarities to those that exist now. We saw Brachipods, which are represented in today’s ocean by oysters and other shellfish, and Crinoids, which are an ancient version of sea lilies. This time-travel trip will take us to the same formation and time, the Escabrosa Limestone and the Mississippian epoch of the Carboniferous age. We’re searching for the wily, solitary Rugosa coral and will climb steep slopes, cross a rugged wash, and have to use our hands to get up those slopes. I put on my leather gloves, as eroded limestone can have sharp edges and grit.

Our trip starts at the cattle guard up Copper Hills Road, which winds up Copper Canyon to the old ghost town of Copper Hills and the new development of Copper Canyon Ranches. There’s parking for a few cars on the right, just before the cattle guard and a gate through the fence. This trip will be the opposite of last week’s: instead of well-maintained trails, there will be deer paths and cactus, loose rocks and steep slopes. I wore my best hiking boots and my thickest Carhartt work clothes and still got stabbed. As we leave the road, we’re at an old quarry in the Gila Conglomerate, so lots of loose round rocks are underfoot. This is not a hike for the unsteady. Nellie and I head up the slope on the ridge to the right as you look up the canyon. We can see limestone outcropping on both sides of the canyon and an old limestone quarry across the canyon from us. It’s posted as no trespassing by the mining company, as there are still some hazards and some exploration going on. Nellie and I hiked up our side. She’s good at finding deer paths to follow and usually goes the same direction as me. Copper Canyon is about a mile from Round Mountain, and so we’re looking at the same ocean bottom, but a mile away. Since ocean sediments are deposited from sediment falling down through the water and then washed about by currents, we can travel through time by climbing from bottom to top. Geologists use “strike” and “dip” to measure how a rock formation is orientated, and to time-travel from oldest to youngest, we must travel at 90 degrees to the strike and at 90 degrees to the dip. Usually, this means climbing to cross the layers.

Nellie and I went up a deer path and through some brush and got to a bit of a flatter spot, where some limestone was exposed and eroded to a surface full of fossil debris, but no Rugosa coral. We stopped and had some water, and I thought it was nice to hang out on an ocean bottom with all the fossils. We kept heading up, and we had to cross a steep gully and crawl through yucca, acacia, ocotillo and other sharp, pointy bushes. We saw some red agate bands in the limestone that the rock polishers would like, but carried on moving up dip, as we’re after the wily Rugosa coral.

Strike and dip schematic

Coral Reef, Continued from page 8

I was about to give up, as we were within view of the end of the Escabrosa Limestone outcrop. We then spotted our first Rugosa coral, about 2 inches long. Which led to several other sightings. Why am I so fascinated by the Rugosa coral? My fascination ties to the moon and the earth’s rotation. Physicists have theorized that lunar tides should slow down the rotation of the earth very slowly, but how do you prove it? John Wells, a paleontologist at Cornell University, started counting the growth rings in corals back in1963 and comparing them to modern coral growth rings. Wells determined that the corals had fine day bands and annual bands, but back in the Mississippian, the day bands kept adding up to around 380 days per year instead of our current 365 plus 6 hours. So the little solitary horn coral is a paleontological clock.

RULES OF THE GAME

Some general guidelines are:

It’s often legal to collect many fossils (brachiopods, trilobites, clams and most invertebrates, petrified wood), BUT one must be careful, as laws vary.

As we continue down our time-travel trails, we need to be aware of the laws and ethics of fossil gathering. If you find something really unique, just take a picture and log the coordinates. The Arizona Museum of Natural History would be a good resource to determine if it is really unique. I would suggest an e-mail of your photo to the curator of paleontology, Dr. Robert McCord, at Robert.Mccord@measaaz.gov. Do not damage a unique find by attempting to extract it. Valuable data is often lost or destroyed during removal. Amateurs and professionals alike must be aware of the rules that apply to the type of land one is on (private, federal, or state).

It is ALWAYS illegal to collect fossils or even rocks in National Parks and Monuments. Collecting on private land is at the discretion of the land owner. Even if you’re on private land, if a find seems unusual or unique, collectors are encouraged to bring their finds to the attention of researchers, as there is important information in precisely how and where the fossils are situated in the ground.

All the fossils that we have ever found have always been found in the appropriate place in the time sequence. There are no fossils in the wrong place. ~ Richard Dawkins

San Carlos teachers and administrative staff including Renevie Magboo, Bryan Pechuli, Lynadette Terania, Gerald and Emmar Ciar, Heather Haozous and Susan Poole turned out to assemble and hand out care packages for 300 students at the high school. Courtesy photo.

CARE PACKAGES GO OUT TO HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS This year our Parent Educators went on a couple of shopping trips to get personal hygiene and household products for our high school students. From toothpaste and shampoo to clothes detergent and other household items, those were only a few of the products included in the care packages. The great staff from the high

school were on hand to distribute the care packages under the direction of the high school principal, Ms. Susan Poole. Thanks to high school Parent Educator Heather Haozous, truancy officer Brian Pechuli and district custodian Angelina Aguillera for putting the care packages together for our high school students!

PARENT EDUCATORS AND CAPE COUNCIL PACK PARENT BAGS The Gila County Child and Parent Enrichment Council (CAPE) is a program funded by the Arizona Governor’s Office of Youth, Faith and Family Child Abuse Prevention Advocacy License Plate Grant and The Arizona Department of Child Safety Office of Prevention Child Abuse Prevention Grant. Our Parent Educators worked on a recent project for the council, packing a Parent/Child Enrichment Bag filled with goodies and items for our families. Of special interest this month were eighty bags of Indian Tea picked by the San Carlos Apache Language Preservation Field Supervisor, Bob Stevens. Each bundle makes up to two cups

helping the Parent Educator Program for providing the Indian Tea for our contribution to the parent bags project for the San Carlos Unified School District Parents.

FORGING ONE’S PATH By Patti Daley When Misty Groseth was in high school, she didn’t really know what she wanted to do for a career. “I knew I wanted to be in a helping profession,” she says, “and I knew I wanted to work with youth.” Today Groseth, M.Ed. is the school counselor to the 315 students at San Carlos High School (SCHS) and the 90+ students at the alternative high school. She’s glad both schools are on the same campus so that all students have access to the academic and socio-emotional support available. “The teen years can be difficult,” says Groseth. “Everything seems so permanent and immediate.” Groseth earned bachelor’s degrees in Theatre and Religious Studies, a master’s degree in School Counseling and credentials in Pupil Personnel Services (PPS). She had always been interested in learning about different cultures, so when a position opened in the San Carlos School District (SCSD), she was intrigued. After a phone interview, she took her first trip to San Carlos and got a tour of the schools. “It was a fascinating place to me,” she says. “Really magical.”

BREAKFAST/LUNCH PROGRAM PROVIDES HEALTHY MEALS AT NO COST We know children need healthy meals to learn. That is why our breakfast and lunch program has added the afterschool, snack and dinner program for all students every day at no cost. All students grades Pre-Kindergarten to twelfth grade will be able to participate in these meal programs due to the implementation of the Community Eligibility Provision for the 2020-2021 school year. The program, which began on February 22, includes Rice Elementary, San Carlos Middle School, San Carlos High School and the Alternative School. The weekend meal service which began on February 12, continues to operate. Meals are served Monday-Friday 9:00-11:00 AM with weekend Grab and Go bags distributed on Fridays. All students ages eighteen and under are able to participate in the program. Face masks are required to pick up meals and if you need a face mask, you can pick one up at the Middle School cafeteria site with the meals to go bags.

Recreation Survey Needs Your Input

FROM PAGE 10 She told the superintendent she’d take the job. He told her to take the weekend and think about it. More than eight years later, Groseth says it’s the work with San Carlos students that keeps her coming back. “You have an opportunity to fill a gap and make a difference in their lives,” Groseth says. “And they’ve made a difference in my life.”

Culture Shift “The biggest problem is motivation and drive,” Groseth says. “You can affect that somewhat but a lot relates to the home value system and requires changing priorities.” One big change she’s noticed since she started at SCHS is the focus on academics. “When I first got here there were so many students failing classes,” Groseth recalls. “Credit recovery was a huge issue.” Students weren’t prepared to be students, she explains. They had no backpacks or school supplies. The hallways were busy and noisy. Fights were common. To be recognized as a good student was uncool. Three years ago SCHS implemented a program that began to change the culture. All students receive a binder with dividers for classes and other essential school supplies. They are required to bring the binder to every class and write down assignments. Being on time is a big deal. “That has made such a huge difference,” says Groseth. “To be a student and to be a prepared student is now the norm.”

Preparing for Success Every student at SCHS and its alternative high school now has a Success Coach, a new role inspired by the pandemic. A Success Coach reaches out to students every week by Zoom or phone and sends updates about classes and activities. Most teachers coach 4-5 students; Groseth and other key staff carry 15-20. Coaches meet weekly to focus on grades and strategize intervention for those falling behind. In response to growing absenteeism (10% increase since going virtual), coaches now drop into Zoom classes and call or text students who are not present. “Some students are so capable, but through life situations, they don’t take advantage of the opportunities that are there – where their potential could take them,” says Groseth. SCHS offers a variety of programs to prepare students for life beyond high school – AVID electives, Career & Technology Education (CTE) courses, and dualenrollment college-level courses through San Carlos Apache College. Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID) is a non-profit program designed to help first-generation students attend college. Though AVID is an elective course, Groseth considers it essential for collegebound students, especially those interested in a 4-year university. “It’s great for B or C students that need extra help, or an extra push,” says Groseth. “In addition to helping with applications, scholarships and financial aid, kids learn skills that help them be successful in life – leadership, organization, how to form study groups.” For the past three years, SCHS has partnered with San Carlos Apache College to offer dual-enrollment classes to its students. Students can earn both high school and college credits in chemistry, algebra, psychology, and Apache language. “Even with the pandemic,” Groseth says, “we had 22 students enrolled.” CTE programs at SCHS are well-developed with seasoned teachers and “amazing” facilities.They teach students hard and soft skills that make them more employable. Certification paths include Culinary, Agri-Science, Construction, Animation and Robotics, Graphic Design, Digital Communication, Hospitality, and Stagecraft, a new program Groseth started in the 2019-20 school year. “CTE programs are a great opportunity for students whether they are going into college or not going on to college,” says Groseth. “Mastery of a skill improves confidence.”

March Gardening in Globe-Miami BY PATRICIA SANDERS

March in the Arizona desert means wildflowers blooming – poppies, brittlebush, desert marigold, globe mallow and more – and time to watch for a parade of colorful birds migrating through on their way to breed in the north. For us ground dwellers, it means the beginning of the spring gardening season. Here’s a simple to-do list to help you start the gardening year off right. 1. Make plans for the season. If you’re not one of those who’s been perusing seed catalogs all winter, now is the time to decide what to plant this year. Order seeds or decide where to buy seedlings. 2. Take stock of your winter garden. Before you start clearing the planting beds for spring, look over your winter garden and think about what went well and what didn’t, so you can apply that information later this year. 3. Make way for the new. Some plants may be able to stay in the garden a little longer and keep producing through the first part of the spring. Overwintered plants that are healthy but spindly might benefit from being cut back. But if they’re already struggling or bolting, go ahead and take them out. It’s best to cut them off at the base rather than pulling up the roots. Consider interplanting spring vegetables among winter plants that are still going strong. By the time the winter plants are finished, the spring ones will be ready for the extra room. 4. Tidy up and perform any needed maintenance. Clean up the beds, pull out unwanted volunteers, and check for any repairs or maintenance needed on irrigation or garden structures. 5. Prepare the soil for the new season. Replenish the planting beds with compost – this

is best done a month or two before you plant. Test the soil, and add any necessary amendments. 6. Plant transplants or seeds. According to UofA Cooperative Extension, most vegetables can be planted in the second part of March – seeds or transplants. But summer vegetables – tomatoes, cucumbers, squashes, corn, peppers, beans and melons – should wait until warmer weather. Local market gardener Mary Hysong recommends starting herbs and garden flowers such as marigolds, carnations and snapdragons indoors under lights during March. Now is the time to get outdoors and enjoy the early spring weather and the pageant of color that marks March in Globe-Miami. And a good start in the garden now will bring rewards well into the summer and fall – long after the wildflowers have faded.

The Globe Miami Farmers’ Market will be hosting a plant sale on April 3 at the Globe City Park from 8 - 11am. Local grower Mary Hysong will have nearly 200 tomato plants for starters! Come support the local Farmers’ Market and get a good start on this year’s garden!

HELP FOR HOMEOWNERS IN TIMES OF CRISIS

BY THEA WILSHIRE

David Jackson gave his wife four beautiful children, a nice house, and then an unexpected divorce. In one fell swoop, Lisa Jackson became a single mother and the sole provider for her family. She scrambled to make ends meet but grew farther behind on her mortgage each month. Without money for rent and a security deposit, she couldn’t get an apartment. Losing her house would mean living on the street with the kids. As her worries grew, she began to have panic attacks and stress-induced hives. Fortunately, when she most needed a helping hand, she discovered ARC. The Administration for Resources and Choices (ARC) is a HUD-approved nonprofit agency that works statewide to provide housing miracles by preventing foreclosures. For homeowners unable to pay their mortgages, they can help a family get up-to-date on back payments, reduce loan principal, offer temporary mortgage payments, and help to refinance loans to reduce monthly payments to a more manageable level. Amazingly, these are only a few of the resources ARC provides. Debbie Chandler, ARC’s Executive Director, says, “We are committed to housing stability. As a HUD-certified agency, we’ve helped thousands of people with homeownership, be it home readiness preparation or help with mortgage challenges. We’re at the heart of helping people and we’re kind of the best kept secret.” During troubled times, Chandler believes housing help is imperative. “When the home piece is disrupted, nothing works. Kids can’t go to school, people can’t hold jobs, there’s stress at such a high level because there’s uncertainty about where a family will live. All of that stress breaks down everything. Housing is the first stable block to build and stabilize families and

communities.” Lisa Jackson would probably agree. ARC helped her catch up on her delinquent payments, paid off her second mortgage, helped to refinance her first mortgage, and then offered mortgage assistance for 24 months while Jackson went to nursing school. ARC did all of this work free of charge. Now eight years later, Jackson is still in her home, her kids are doing well, and she recently received Employee of the Month at the hospital where she works. Jackson is not alone in her housing worries. In July 2020, 43.4 million Americans, or about 25.3% of the adult population, missed their last month’s rent or mortgage payment, or stated they believed they could not pay this month’s expense. To help in these unprecedented times, the government has established forbearance programs that allow people to temporarily delay mortgage payments. Unfortunately, forbearance does not cancel the money owed. The loan principal and interest still accrue, and these get tacked on to the mortgage total – which can increase the loan amount significantly and, consequently, disqualify a person for refinancing in the future. Additionally, while a person is in forbearance, escrow and taxes are still accumulating and not being paid by the mortgage company. These expenses can be a shock for homeowners who don’t understand that forbearance is only for mortgage payments with a bank, while escrow and taxes are due to the county and their insurance company. ARC’s program is different from forbearance. “It’s better!” says Chandler. ARC provides assistance for mortgage payments and can help homeowners pay down their mortgage principal rather than increase it with delayed payments.This can result in lower monthly payments and increased equity, benefits that will continue after the pandemic lifts. Also, because the

homeowner continues to make mortgage payments, their escrow account will pay their property taxes and insurance, and they won’t be hit with surprise bills.

“This is a really, really good opportunity for people to take advantage of the program and make sure that their home payment is affordable for the long term. These funds are available right now,” Chandler says.

Deadline for Applications Ends April 30 ARC was started in 2008 with federal money sent to the states hardest hit by the housing crisis. Unfortunately, this funding is coming to a close. ARC will stop taking applications after April 30. ARC will continue to help people with other programs and resources after this date, but the money available for homeowners in crisis right now will not be available after April.

Chandler says, “If you are on forbearance with your mortgage or waiting to see what happens, don’t! Take action now. There’s no hook to this. There’s no cost. This is money given to you for mortgage assistance. If you qualify, you get it.”

One person who took advantage of the program was Dr. Peter Gonzales. A longtime favorite professor at ASU, Dr. Gonzales’s teaching excellence did not help him when the recession of 2008-2010 caused his home’s value to depreciate and his consulting work to collapse. Being both upside down on his mortgage (he owed more than the house was worth) and unable to make his $1,500 monthly payments, he felt panicked and humiliated as he moved closer to losing his Tempe home. Fortunately, a friend mentioned ARC. ARC stepped in and helped to pay his arrears, reduced Dr. Gonzales’s principal by $100,000 and helped him re-amortize his loan, which reduced his monthly payment to only $700. ARC even covered the closing costs on the new loan. The $100,000 principal reduction was forgiven after he remained in his house for five years. So what situations make a person eligible for ARC assistance? Chandler says, “It’s simply this: Your payment is unaffordable.” A housing payment that’s more than 30% of the homeowner’s income is considered unaffordable. It doesn’t matter why – an income change, loss of an income source, unemployment, medical bills, and so on. Whatever the cause of the financial hardship, a homeowner could be eligible. Chandler says, “There’s no guarantee, but our job is to analyze each situation and make recommendations. If you’re even remotely eligible, talk to us and let us help you. Don’t self-disqualify.” Abbie Yazzie would agree. She’s disabled, and her husband is in prison. But her world really collapsed when she lost her 24-year-old son in an auto accident. She could not pay her mortgage using her disability funds alone. ARC was able to help Yazzie reduce her principal by $58,000 and then refinance to an affordable $447 per month on the $20,000 she still owed. ARC also helped her take advantage of a program few people know about that waives property tax payments for widows or widowers and the disabled. This meant Yazzie could stay in her home. Araceli Jimenez-Gonzalez is an ARC counselor with 15 years’ experience helping people with home ownership. She loves her work and can tell countless success stories. “People come in all stressed out and then the ending is so happy because now they have affordable payments,” Jimenez-Gonzalez says. She helps homeowners in crisis but also explained a program for renters seeking help with homebuyer readiness. According to Jimenez-Gonzalez, many young people believe they would never qualify to buy a house, and consequently they’re paying high rents. But in today’s market, many of these people might actually be able to buy a house and wind up with lower mortgage payments than their current rent. Jimenez-Gonzalez says, “We help people get ready: to build a budget, to get savings to use as a down payment, to work on their credit and even build a little credit, and then they qualify to buy a house. They are paying less each month on housing and building equity at the same time.” Chandler urges people to take advantage of their services as soon as possible, particularly before April 30, while this exceptional funding remains available. “If you’re in a situation for whatever reason that your payment is unaffordable, you should call us,” Chandler says. “There’s no reason not to. There’s no cost, everything is free. There’s not a downside. The worst case scenario is nothing changes, but we could get you great benefits.”

“Always accountable. Execute with excellence. Work responsibly. Deliver results.”

JASON GREEN Senior OpEx Advisor II

Interview by Patti Daley

He has traveled the world, jumped out of a helicopter, and dove deep beneath the sea to explore a shipwreck. Since October 2020, Jason Green has been the Senior OpEx Advisor II for Capstone at Pinto Valley.

“I lead projects across the entire company to improve our operations.” Daily tasks for a Senior OpEx Advisor vary from field observation and shadowing key personnel to conducting site surveys, analyzing data and writing reports. The key metrics of improvement include safety records, cost savings, extra pounds of copper produced and time saved. Projects can be anything from improving haul truck roads to developing a new training or delivery system.

“I love it here,” Green says, “as long as there is something interesting to do.” One project of great interest to Green is Capstone’s partnership with Arizona Coalition for Military Families (ACMF), an organization that connects veterans to available resources – housing, healthcare, employment. He and two colleagues have completed their Veteran Supportive Employer Training to ensure high standards when

interviewing and transitioning veterans into a new job.

“Capstone would like to hire more veteran talent.” According to Green, mining work and military service have a lot in common – hardhats, steel-toed shoes and heavy equipment. More than that, though, it’s the culture.

“In the military, all racial backgrounds, all socioeconomic backgrounds, come together in common purpose,” Green says. “It’s the same in the mining industry.”

Son of a Mining Professional

Jason Green grew up in Safford, Arizona. His father, Ron Green, worked in the mining industry as an account representative. “He took me to work with him sometimes,” Jason says, “to get me to know the industry.” Ron also taught Spanish and Jason learned to speak it when they traveled together to Mexico, part of Ron’s account territory. Jason Green graduated from Safford High School as valedictorian in 1994. Three weeks later, he borrowed a suitcase from his grandma and flew out of Tucson to attend West Point military academy on the east coast.

He studied engineering, computer science and languages – Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese. After college Green became a tank platoon leader, 2nd lieutenant. He was stationed in Germany and deployed to Kosovo in 1999. Post-military service, Green held a variety of positions – a medical device representative for Johnson & Johnson, a test engineer for Trax International, and a process engineer for Intel Corporation, to name a few. From 2006-2009 he managed projects across the state of Arizona for FreeportMcMoRan. A data analysis expert, he became certified as a Lean Sigma Green Belt. “I was trained by Harvey Wilson,” says Green. “He is a blackbelt.” He applies his data analysis expertise in the current position, looking for ways to improve the operation through site surveys and follow-up results. For example, the company wants to move as much ore

“It was a culture shock,” recalls Green, “the whole trip – it was exciting.”

as possible. What is the optimal payload for each haul truck? If you overload a truck, says Green you increase the risk of maintenance failures. Green’s career has spanned several industries and he likes the mining industry for the important service it provides.

“The Intels of the world couldn’t produce chips without mining,” he points out. “We wouldn’t have roads.” What Green really likes about Capstone is the focus on workplace culture. The values defined by general management, he says, provide a useful guidepost and serve as a compass on decisions. Jason plays the drums, rides dirt bikes and motorcycles and is a prolific reader. He likes to hunt, fish and scuba dive. He is currently living in a trailer at Top of the World, Sunday through Wednesday while his family – wife, three daughters and another on the way – remain in Safford.

A Look at Covid-19:WORLD ONE VIEW YEAR LATER “This pandemic is far from over, and we will continue our strong efforts to make VIEW sureWORLD any resident who wants a COVID-19 vaccine will be able to receive it.” ~ Michael O’Driscoll, Gila County Health Department

ARIZONA VIEW

National Case Numbers Drop ✦ As of March 11, 2021, there have been roughly 29.2 million cases and 530,000 deaths from COVID-19 in the United States. Over the last 14 days, daily new cases have decreased by about 21% and daily new deaths have decreased by about 40%, according to www.covidactnow.com.

Gov. Ducey Lifts Restrictions

✦ March 3, Governor Ducey issued an executive order requiring all Arizona schools to reopen to in-person learning by March 15 or after spring break. The order does not apply to Yavapai, Pinal, and Apache counties. ✦ In a March 5 statement, Ducey said, “For businesses, physical distancing and mask protocols will remain in place, however specific occupancy percentage limitations will expire. This applies to restaurants, gyms, theaters, water parks, bowling alleys, and bars providing dine-in services.”

USA VIEW

GLOBE-MIAMI VIEW

✦ Nationally, cases plummeted in February across the country, thanks to reduced travel, less mixing of people indoors, more consistent mask wearing, and growing immunity, according to Dr. Tom Frieden (former director of the CDC). But Dr. Frieden says it’s not time to relax yet, as more than half of Americans still remain susceptible to infection. ✦ As a result of COVID-19, life expectancy in the United States dropped from 78.8 years in 2019 to 77.8 years in the first part of 2020. That’s the most dramatic decrease in life expectancy for Americans since World War II.

Four States Scrap Mask Mandates ✦ Iowa, Montana, and Texas lifted their mask mandates in February and March, joining North Dakota, which had done so in January. It’s important to note that these states lifted their mask mandates not because their rates of transmission had been low or because large numbers of people were getting vaccinated, but as a result of resistance to masking. ✦ Experts say that although people are getting vaccinated and rates of transmission are dropping, it’s too early yet to scrap masks.

VACCINATIONS Good News for Vaccines ✦ Vaccine development and rollout was the bright spot of late winter. In February, it was expected that all Americans could be vaccinated by August – and then, in March, President Biden was able to order that all adults be eligible for a vaccine by May 1. ✦ As of mid-March, two vaccines had been approved for full use in the USA, and one more had approval for emergency use – the new one-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine – while 20 more were in phase 3 trials. ✦ People who’ve received the vaccine have been given a green light to gather indoors without masking – as long as the groups are small and everyone in attendance has been vaccinated. ✦ However, vaccine rollout has been uneven around the world, and that means its overall effectiveness in ending the global pandemic is reduced. Wealthy countries have access to large quantities of the vaccine, while poorer countries won’t get large numbers of people vaccinated until 2023. That means the coronavirus can continue to spread and mutate in those places. ✦ And as new variants of the coronavirus continue to emerge, the current vaccines may be less effective against them, threatening to cause a resurgence of the pandemic. These variants are more transmissible and could become dominant if populations don’t continue to practice masking and social distancing as necessary.

“In most parts of the country, getting a coronavirus vaccine can feel like trying to win the lottery, but in Gila County, Arizona, any resident over the age of 18 can walk into a clinic without an appointment right now and get a vaccine.” ~ The New York Times tweet

GILA COUNTY

Vaccination Program Attracts National Attention

✦ A March 1 story in the New York Times brought national attention to the Gila County vaccination program, which was one of the first places in the United States to open eligibility to the general population. ✦ “The expanded vaccination campaign has coincided over the past two weeks with a 52% plunge in new cases” in Gila County, the Times article noted. ✦ Arizona’s Channel 15 News also featured the Gila County program in a story on March 4. That story noted that Gila County eliminated online registration for booking vaccine appointments and invested in a call center instead, so elderly people didn’t have problems navigating a website.

✦ Meanwhile, Merck is participating in the development of a home-use pill for COVID-19, similar in use to Tamiflu. The experimental drug, called molnupiravir, could potentially be prescribed for coronavirus patients to use at home to reduce the length of their illness.

Congress Passes Second Stimulus Bill ✦ In early March, Congress passed a $1.9 trillion stimulus and relief bill that includes $1,400 direct payments, child tax credits, rental and homeowner assistance, full COBRA coverage for recently uninsured workers, and more.

✦ Channel 15’s report noted that the county’s program has succeeded by “treating the pandemic as if it were fighting a wildfire” – and pointed out that Globe Mayor Al Gameros served as the Globe Fire Chief before becoming mayor. ✦ Arizona state officials had allotted the county a larger number of doses, enabling it to become one of the few places in the country that could offer the vaccine to the whole adult population. On March 11, Gila County opened up vaccine registration to people who work in the county but don’t live there. ✦ Although some residents are still hesitant to roll up their sleeves, Rhonda Mason, Director of Nursing at Cobre Valley Regional Medical Hospital, reported that the hospital had been running 50% of their beds with COVID patients in the last month. Speaking in a March 8 interviews with Channel 4 News, Mason added,

“We have seen a significant decline. Today we only have one patient in house, so I think that speaks to how the vaccine works.”

Globe City Council Passes Marijuana Facility Ordinance

he City of Globe has a new zoning ordinance on the books for marijuana facilities. The ordinance allows up to four dispensaries – two medical and two recreational – as well as testing and cultivation facilities. The dispensaries and facilities can be located in zoning districts C-2 and C-3, which cover the business districts of Globe, Midland City and Miami Gardens, or in the industrial district. The City intends that medical and recreational dispensaries would be combined in a single dual-use location, so that in effect only two dispensary locations would exist. Eventually, the council expects these locations to become dual-licensed facilities, at which point the number of permitted facilities would be reduced to two. No marijuana facilities will be permitted within 500 feet of K-12 schools, 250 feet of most residential-zoned lots, 100 feet of churches, or within one-half mile of another marjiuana facility. Applicants will be required to obtain conditional use permits and observe regulations on hours and signage. Currently, the City prohibits deliveries of recreational marijuana. The Globe City Council passed the new ordinance at its regular meeting on February 23. Prior to the meeting, the council publicized the upcoming vote in newspaper advertisements and a notice printed at the top of January water bills, according to zoning administrator Dana Burkhardt. Mayor Al Gameros said that the City also reached out through radio spots, social media posts and a presentation at the meeting of the Southern Gila County Economic Development Corporation, with stakeholders from the mines, schools, and local hospital in attendance. Gameros noted that City representatives fielded many questions during that presentation but that no negative comments had been received.

Scott Shumway voiced concerns that the full impact of the new ordinance might not be clear for years to come. Shumway said he felt more time should have been taken to allow the community to discuss the issue.

Historic Preservation District Design Guidelines Update

Mayor Gameros said, “If it doesn’t come here, it’s going to go somewhere else. If we have it in our community, we can control it.” According to Burkhardt, the City received no responses to its public outreach efforts on the issue. However, Councilman Jesse Leetham of District 3 said he had received calls from some constituents who felt approval of the ordinance was being rushed. Globe City Attorney Bill Sims pointed out that voters approved the marijuana initiative last fall, and the state is already issuing licenses. Sims said, “You can delay this, but if you delay it and (an applicant) gets a license, then they’ll have the right to put their establishment wherever they like because you won’t have a zoning ordinance in place.” District 3 resident Jeff Dalton, who works in the Gila County attorney’s office, expressed concern about the potential number of dispensaries, particularly for recreational use, and about the potential

of children obtaining marijuana. He also expressed concern that the ordinance could be viewed as encouragement of marijuana use, and that use could increase as a result of the presence of marijuana facilities in the city. Dalton said, “In the past, we used to prosecute this. Now we embrace it and we want it because we want the tax money. To me, that’s a bad message.” Alfred Hermes, chief science officer at a Payson-based company that is applying for a license to operate a dispensary on Broad Street, said research has shown cannabis is not the gateway drug to methamphetamine use that it was once believed, and that alcohol poses more risk than marijuana as a gateway drug. Hermes said, “There are stores in every city and every community that sell alcohol. It doesn’t necessarily mean that we’re putting bottles in children’s hands to drink. The same type of responsibility can be done with medical marijuana and recreational marijuana.”

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

The Council also heard an update on the process of revising the City’s historic preservation district design guidelines, a process that will continue over the next few months. In developing the new guidelines, the City Council will receive recommendations from the Planning and Zoning Commission, with input from the Historic Preservation Advisory Committee and the Arts Advisory Committee. Burkhardt said the city has included major stakeholders in meetings and discussions that have already taken place. The City presented draft guidelines during a public meeting last December and will hold at least one more public meeting to allow the public to review and comment on later drafts. Members of the public can weigh in on the subject by attending a meeting or by contacting Burkhardt directly. They can also submit comments to the City Council or City Manager Paul Jepsen. Emails can be sent to the Council at: council@globeaz.gov. Burkhardt said he expected the City Council to receive a final draft of the guidelines in April. Burkhardt said the City could qualify for state and federal funding and specialized assistance for its preservation program in the historic district. The current historic preservation district design guidelines were adopted in 1987. u

HIGH SCHOOL

GETTING BACK TO NORMAL Miami Moves to Recover Unfinished Learning Miami Unified is returning to a regular school schedule, with all students attending classes on campus every day. Months before Governor Ducey’s recent executive order, the Miami Governing Board approved an administrative plan to resume full instruction when (1) local case numbers indicated a reduced risk to students and (2) school employees were vaccinated and safe from infection. The local numbers have come down, especially in the part of Gila County served by Miami Unified, and the County Health Department administered vaccine doses to our employees in January and February, so we are ready. Miami Junior-Senior High School teachers are focusing on how to make up the unfinished learning from the past year, so that students regain the momentum needed for emotional strength, academic success and career preparation. Despite all the work by teachers and students this past year, it’s no secret – not to teachers, to students or to our families – that children have missed out during distance and hybrid learning. All of the online skills and Zoom experiences will enhance learning going forward, but we still have holes from nearly a year of being out of the classroom. Miami High School intends to fill those gaps by implementing several important initiatives.

Recovering Studenthood Everything we do at Miami is based on Kids at Hope, which teaches that the most important element in

a child’s life is a reliable relationship with a caring adult. There’s an old line in education that “students will care to know when they know their teachers care”, and we work with our kids to make sure they are safe, thriving and moving toward a successful future.

Quarters centered around World War One, mining, and other themes provide students the opportunity to learn about interesting subjects and to combine what they learn in various classes.

Building Basic Skills in Junior High

Producing High School Graduates Who Know How to Work

Grades 6-8 are a transitional time, when students start applying their elementary skills to higher-level thought and begin to take responsibility for their own learning. This means continuing to build fundamental skills, particularly in writing and math, while thinking more deeply about the subject matter. Miami Junior High students will find themselves pursuing these goals in four ways: • Math 20/20 takes students both deeper and wider into math, exploring math as an engaging way to solve problems. Too many students decide they’re “just not good at math”, and Miami’s teachers have spent years mastering 20/20’s creative approach to getting students excited about math. • The Taylor Writing Method provides students a bridge into writing, helping them find the evidence they need and providing starter words for sentences and paragraphs. Our students use Taylor to get past their initial reluctance and just start writing. • Future Cities is an annual statewide competition for students designing and building model cities for the future. This year’s competition featured cities designed for the moon, and required students to apply what they have learned in science, math, social studies and English, and do it all for less than $100. • The junior high will continue its experimental quarterly thematic curriculum, in which students study core subjects for three months at a time.

Our goal is to produce graduates who are literate, numerate and ready to meet their responsibilities as citizens in their homes, in the community and in the nation. This means mastering communications – reading, writing, speaking – and the fundamental skills required in the modern economy – using numbers, thinking scientifically, utilizing computer hardware and software, applying ideas in practical ways. This is why we: • Offer college-level math far beyond the state requirements, including college algebra, statistics and calculus. • Are realigning our science curriculum to conform to the new AzSCI exam and university entry requirements. • Require completion of a CTE course sequence on campus or at CVIT, and offer a full range of programs at the high school: agriculture, construction, journalism, education professions, culinary arts, and graphic design. • Are focused on helping students build a solid work ethic that can carry them through the changes coming in the next decades. The past year has been a challenging one for all of us, at school and at home. Some of our students have thrived online while others have found distance learning more challenging, but all students share the need to be safe, to be loved, and to learn. That’s what we aim to do at Miami.

Miami is an open-enrollment district. We serve students from our own district and from the surrounding area. New student registration link is available under the Student Registration link at www.miamiusd40.org.

Bogus Baron, Continued from page 1 It all happened after the United States acquired the Southwest in the Gadsden Purchase, and people started coming forward claiming that they had legal rights to pieces of land granted to them, or their ancestors, by Spain. James Reavis claimed that Fernando VI, King of Spain, had granted the 19,000 square miles of land to a Señor Don Miguel de Peralta de la Cordoba, Baron of the Colorados, in 1748 – and that Reavis’s wife, supposedly Doña Sofia Loreto Micaela de Peralta-Reavis, was the great granddaughter of Don Miguel and therefore his heiress. We’ll let Will H. Robinson take it from here: “Now, as a matter of fact, James Addison Reavis, either on his own account or that of his wife, had no more valid a claim to a Spanish grant than he had to King Solomon’s Mines, or the canals on the Planet Mars, but he certainly did have imagination, and if he had gone in for literature instead of fraud, he would have made Jules Verne or Rider Haggard look like the drabbest of realists. ... “It sounds like something of a task, doesn’t it, when one thinks of all the things he had to do – first, make it appear that Don Miguel was a real person; second, show that the king did really grant him the barony of the Colorados, and last, that Mrs. Reavis was really the heir to the old Don. ... “In order to make Don Miguel a real person, Reavis went to Guadalajara, Mexico, where in some mysterious manner he was able to spend unobserved hours alone with the old vice-regal records, and after he had finished with his quill pen and the ink was nicely dried, all through the old volumes and papers there was evidence and to spare bearing on his grant, including a decree creating the Barony of Arizona and a book of genealogy showing the noble descent of Mrs. Reavis. ... “Wishing to feast his eyes on his ancestral halls and hills, Reavis took his wife, the Doña Sofia, who by this time knew her lesson perfectly, across the blue Atlantic, and with his grand air seems to have had no more difficulty in obtaining access to the royal archives at Madrid than he had in looking for what he wanted in Mexico. Here, too, when he had finished poring over the records, everything he wanted there was there. “By this time Don Jim had almost made himself believe that he was the real thing. He lived nobly at a leading Madrid hotel with a retinue of liveried servants. As the Baron of Arizona he entertained the American legation, and with his wife was received with the honors of nobility at the Spanish Court....

50 share certificate for the Casa Grande Improvement Company Limited, Territory of Arizona made out to J. A. Peralta Reavis and dated August 13, 1889. Bears registration mark dated October 17, 1889.

“With magnificent audacity, Reavis brought his claim before the land court.... There were cedulas, decrees and writs in Spanish and English; there were royal seals, royal signatures and rubrics; there were not only genealogies but portraits of noble ancestors. “But it was all of no avail.... As witness after witness gave his evidence, slowly the edifice of fraud so ingeniously built up by Reavis crumbled about him. “Not only was his case decided against him, but at its close he was immediately arrested for fraud, convicted in the district court, and on July 18, 1896, went to the penitentiary of New Mexico, where he remained until Dona Sofia Loreto Micaela de April, 1898. Peralta Reavis; Photo circa 1898. “Upon the unfortunate wife the blow fell the Wikipedia Commons hardest. From being an honored guest at the Court of Spain, a baroness in her own right, she became a menial in the houses of Santa Fe, glad to obtain even the humblest work to sustain herself and her two boys. “Wm. M. Tipton, one of the government investigators, said of the claim: ‘No plan was ever more ingeniously devised, none ever carried out with greater patience, industry, skill and effrontery.’”

School Counseling, Continued from page 1 1. Clarify and track each student’s path to graduation. 2. Prepare each student for their next step – college or career. 3. Provide the socio-emotional training and support students need to achieve. “We need to keep them motivated, keep them advancing,” says DeZeeuw. “We don’t want them held back by any barrier.” The State of Arizona requires an ECAP (Education and Career Action Plan) for all students in grades 9-12, a job which largely falls to the school counselor. Yet Arizona ranks lowest in the country for school counselor to student ratio with over 900 students for each school counselor. Even at the American School Counselors Association (ASCA) recommended ratio of 1 school counselor for every 250 students, school counselor is a big job.

Academic Counseling: Path to Graduation States establish minimum graduation requirements, local districts further define them, and counselors make sure students fulfill them. “The first month of school is dominated by class scheduling,” says Jenn Walker, Miami Junior Senior High guidance counselor. “The process has been further complicated by covid, with students enrolling later and switching a lot between online, hybrid and inclass learning.” Walker began work at Miami High in January 2018 through the AmeriCorps VISTA program. It was a six-month position and her role was “to help seniors get their plan in place before they went into the world.” She worked primarily with seniors on scholarship applications. Rewards came through the students’ success: news of a massive

scholarship. An important interview. The result of a collaborative effort. “I got it!” Walker describes the thrill of the call, or the email: “that feels pretty good.” Before the six-month position was up, she realized that she “kind of jived” with the school and its administration and liked the work. “The work I’m doing is valuable,” says Walker. Today she counsels the approximately 270 students in grades 9-12. A guidance counselor, she distinguishes, has training in academic counseling and college prep, but not the master’s degree and social-emotional training required of a school counselor. The job requires her to do “everything she can” to help students graduate. “Starting as a senior is way too late,” says Walker. “I wasn’t told to start working with sophomores and juniors, but…” Walker recently reached out to all students who were failing classes and was overwhelmed with responses. Lost motivation. No inspiration. Dislike or lack of comprehension for virtual learning. The effects of covid on their family. Despite the challenges that beset rural, lowincome school districts, local high school graduation rates are close to or above the national average of 88% for the year 2019-2020. Overall graduation rates at GHS (nearly 90% in 2020) have increased in recent years. DeZeuuw attributes this in part to the alternative programs they make available for students at risk of not graduating. “The difference is in the way they structure classes,” says DeZeeuw. “Students typically work on one or two classes at a time.” At the same location, but considered a separate school, the Center for Accelerated Learning serves about 40 students and is open for tutoring 7:30 AM to 5 PM. Students are allowed to cross over and take classes from both campuses, which enables them access to CTE courses and CVIT programs. One teacher works with each student to build an individual graduation program. Walker is “a jack of all trades,” DeZeeuw says. “She helps them with everything.”

College & Career Readiness “The way the world is now, every job requires some sort of training,” says DeZeeuw. “In Arizona, your earning potential is drastically decreased if you have only a high school diploma.”

This year, GHS offers college-level courses in Chemistry, Spanish, English, Math and Science. The district pays tuition for up to 6 college credits per semester. “I have high standards,” DeZeeuw says. “I don’t think college is for everyone, but I also don’t want to hold anyone back from that option.” Many local students participate in one of six CVIT programs; some start as early as their sophomore year and some students graduate with multiple certifications. Popular programs include Nursing (CNA), Medical Assistant (MA) and Welding. “They may not stay in that field,” DeZeeuw says. “It gives them a skill to take with them.” GHS also offers seven Career & Technical Education programs, including hospitality, photography and drones. This term they are piloting a 12-week elective course for automotive due to popular request. Another new elective is Criminal Justice. “The only limit to new programs is the teachers that can be attracted and retained,” says DeZeeuw. “True for most rural areas.” No matter what students choose, there are forms to fill out and tests to take. Kimberly Dyches, an Americorp member with training in college and career readiness, is helping with applications at GHS. American College Testing (ACT) is required for many scholarships and considered a good benchmark for success in college courses. Test prep is a priority. “It’s a gateway,” she says, “Helping them excel at that test opens doors, builds confidence.”

Social-Emotional Counseling “Kids can’t learn if they have social-emotional issues that are unresolved,” says DeZeeuw. The social-emotional needs of high school students, always complex, have amplified in the last year. Grief counseling has been paramount. Most students are struggling with motivation. “It’s difficult for students to care about their GPA when they don’t know what’s going to happen to their family,” says DeZeeuw. DeZeeuw has a master degree in School Counseling from Capella University with training in the mental health realm, but most of her time is consumed on the academic side of counseling. “Right now, it’s purely intervention,” she says.

“With time, I could do more prevention activities – workshops and group counseling to help students build self esteem and self advocacy.” In addition to counseling duties at GHS, DeZeuuw co-teaches a senior seminar class to educate students on financial literacy, college and career choice criteria, and interview skills. The course concludes with a focus on mental health. Stress reduction. Anxiety and depression. When to get help. “In a perfect world, I would have more counselors,” says DeZeuuw. “The seniors alone could use their own counselor.” At Miami High there is no certified school counselor, but that doesn’t keep mental health and social work issues from coming forth. “You learn quickly what these students’ stories are… maybe it’s disclosed through the process of scheduling or applications,” says Walker. “It’s tough what some of these kids are going through.” The school follows FERPA guidelines regarding privacy of the student and family. If a student has a problem, if they are endangered, teachers and counseling staff are required to tell Principal Glen Lineberry and the School Resource Officer (SRO). Referrals are made to available resources. San Carlos High School employs both a credentialed school counselor and a full-time social worker. There is an onsite Care Center to provide for the emotional and physical needs of students, including beds and showers. Students, however, have not been on campus this year.

“It takes every person that is available in their life to help them meet the challenges of high school and prepare them for their life after high school – whatever they choose,” says Connie Callaway, GHS’s coordinator for the Gaining Early Awareness & Readiness for Undergraduate Programs (GEAR UP). GEAR UP is a federally funded grant program administered through college partnerships designed to increase the number of low-income students who enter and succeed in college. Six-year grants fund a cohort from 7th grade through high school graduation. Each cohort has different needs – tutoring, credit recovery, enrichment. Test prep. Access to Nettutor, a pricey online tutoring service. College scholarships to low-income students. At GHS, upperclassmen welcome incoming freshmen and mentor them throughout the school year as part of the program. “Those who feel more connected to their school and other students do better academically,” says DeZeuuw. “Camaraderie between upper and lower classmen is a positive.” Though statistical effectiveness data is lacking (less than 1% of the funds can be used for program assessment), Callaway cites personal success stories -- graduates that come back and volunteer, and those that go on to receive degrees and full employment. In 2020, she says, the GHS team graduated 127 students during a pandemic. Collectively the class received $3.8 million in scholarships. “Want to know what GEAR UP does?” says Callaway. “That’s what it does.” u
