Stewart’s Antique Nook

BY PATTI DALEY

T Town of Miami

here’s something “in the air” at Stewart’s Antique Nook, the newest addition to Miami’s arts and antiques district. Could it be the largest collection of Golden Age radios in the state of Arizona?

“You say these radios all work?!” asks a customer, astounded as he looks around.

“Yes sir,” says Phil Stewart.

Phil and his wife, Kate Stewart, are proprietors of the new antique shop at 409 Sullivan Street. They have more than 80 radios on display, all built in the time when broadcast

radio was born. The technology is tube and the cabinets are works of art. The oldest in the store is a 1929 Majestic.

Each radio has its own quirks and personalities, Phil says, and there are ways that they like to be treated.

“It’s like getting to know a good friend,” says Phil. “Turn the knobs and tune them in.”

Enthusiastic Antique Collectors Phil Stewart is mechanically inclined.

About 10 years ago, an old jukebox caught his

eye so he bought it and restored it and got it working again. Next he saw an old console radio, got it home, and he was hooked on tube radios, the technology used from the 1920s until transistors took over in the 1960s.

Kate’s enthusiasm is for antique furniture and household items.

“We love going and looking and finding all kinds of things,” says Phil. “Miami was tops amongst the list of places we liked to shop for antiques.”

Discover Gila County Sweeps Awards

BY THEA WILSHIRE

When the world shut down and most tourism numbers flatlined, Gila County shockingly surged.

“We had a 23% increase in inbound tourism dollars during the height of the pandemic,” shared Cameron Davis, President of Razor Thin Media. “There were only two counties in the state that were actually up during the pandemic and Gila County was one of them.”

What helped Gila County excel?

Five major awards in 2021 from organizations around the state indicate that the Discover Gila County (DGC) marketing initiative made all the difference.

FARMING!

AG PROJECT: AMANDA BICKEL

Miami High School began planting an orchard and planning a farm several years ago, and all of the pieces are now moving into place. With more than 200 trees and shrubs already growing around campus, the students in Agriculture and Construction classes have taken on the job of kitting out a full farming operation.

Students have begun to build the pen that will hold goats and chickens – producing milk for cheeses as well as eggs – on the land north of the high school.

Holes have been dug along the perimeter fence for a new row of trees that will produce fruit and create a windbreak for the animals and crops.

A greenhouse will be arriving in pieces after the holidays to be assembled by second- and third-year construction students.

A new well will be drilled by contractors at the same time, with solar pumps to fill raised storage tanks. Students will run gravity-fed irrigation lines to the new gardens, animal troughs, and trees.

The farm and orchard will eventually include outdoor classroom space, a public walking path, and educational signage about the farm, trees, and agricultural practices appropriate for our climate and elevation.

MHS Journalism Steps It Up Journalism students Josephine Klindt and AnnMary Terrence report to the Miami Governing Board at the November meeting. In addition to publishing the War Cry newspaper and the Concentrator yearbook, journalism students maintain a daily Instagram account, have been writing articles for the Silverbelt, and are collaborating with the Globe-Miami Times.

A Note from the Publisher

Publisher Linda Gross Creative Designer Jenifer Lee

T

his weekend I attended the first annual San Carlos Veterans Pow Wow on the grounds of San Carlos High School. I’ve attended Pow Wows in the past, but this one had an intimacy that the others held in a vast covered stadium have not. This time, we were all gathered on the grassy grounds of the high school under an expansive blue sky, much like I imagine Native dancers have done for centuries, all across this nation. Dancers representing over three dozen tribes, from New York to Arizona, were called out as the Grand Entry made its way onto the square.

The sounds of drums and singing filled the air around us as the ground filled with dancers in their regalia. Each costume was mindfully curated over years of dancing to reflect the dancer, the tribal affiliation, and the art of expression. Around us were vendor and spectator tents, their Northern and Southern drum groups, families of the dancers and individuals still putting on regalia, talking to friends, and reconnecting with those they only see on the Pow Wow trail from time to time.

It felt good to be there.

November is National Native American Heritage Month. It’s a fitting countermeasure in understanding our true history in this country and giving more depth to the glorified version we are taught of First Americans breaking bread with the Pilgrims. That act of kindness and generosity of spirit was met with centuries of brutality and oppression. To attend a Pow Wow, see a sunrise dance, or discover the works of the San Carlos tribe as it builds for the future is to see the strength of that spirit still intact. And I’m grateful for that.

New this month is a two-page spread on Miami which will be a regular feature now in Globe Miami Times. The pages represent the town, and more than a dozen local merchants who are “building back better.” After this summer’s fires and flood, it’s good to see the new energy on Sullivan Street, with several new businesses having opened and the town on the rise (pp. 10 and 11).

One of the newest businesses, Stewart’s Antique Nook, is our feature story (p.

1), and it will have you rethinking radios. Sure, we have Pandora and Spotify, but you Second Saturday on Sullivan Street in Miami. haven’t seen nothin’ yet, until you lay eyes on these beautifully crafted radios from the 20s and 40s. Many have been upgraded to offer bluetooth connectivity, so you get a classy look and awesome sound. Surely one of these has to be on your Christmas list. I know it is on mine.

And this is the year to shop local throughout the Globe-Miami community, so we’ve offered up a look at some of your choices and invite you to actively support our local businesses - who, in turn, support our community and the life we all enjoy here (p. 1). Forget Bezos! Think Bernstein and Baker.

And if you’re still looking for ways to make the most of living in Gila County, look no further than Discover Gila County, our new website promoting tourism throughout the region. The site has garnered awards for its content, social media platform, and stunning photography, and it’s the reason that during the pandemic, when traffic was down in almost every county across the state, Gila County saw tourism increase (p. 1).

Yes, we do have a lot to be grateful for this month.

Dancing through the Chaos

BY PATRICIA SANDERS November is National Gratitude Month – which makes sense, given it’s Thanksgiving month. Stretching out a focus on gratitude for the full month could only be a good thing.

November’s also Native American Heritage Month, Lung Cancer Awareness Month, and National Diabetes Month.

But there’s more – it’s also officially Banana Pudding Lovers Month, Peanut Butter Lovers Month, and National Raisin Bread Month. In fact, November’s been declared awareness month for about 30 different things.

All these things are worthy of awareness and attention (although, personally, I could do without the raisins).

But it can get a little overwhelming.

So let’s set aside all the worthy topics for a moment.

What is this month of November 2021, without all the official designations?

Well, this year, November’s the start of a holiday season after a long, stressful summer of wildfires and flooding.

It’s the start of the second holiday season during a global pandemic. We’re all more than weary of it and would like to get back to normal. But even with the vaccines and improved treatments for COVID-19, normalcy hasn’t returned yet.

Looking toward the holiday celebrations always brings both excitement and trepidation. But this year, there’s more social and political polarization than ever – often dividing families more rigidly than ever before.

That’s all on top of the usual stresses and, for many, sadness that this time of year can bring.

So if you’re feeling tired and anxious this November, maybe even depressed, that would be perfectly normal under the circumstances, and nothing to be ashamed about.

“This too shall pass” might be one of the oldest pieces of wisdom there is. There’s no certainty about where or when the phrase originated, but it may have been said to, or by, King Solomon during his reign 3,000 years ago.

According to one story, a sultan asked Solomon to devise a sentence – short enough to inscribe on the band of a ring – that would be true and helpful in both good and bad times.

In another version, Solomon is searching for a cure for depression. He asks his wise men for help, and after long deliberation, they come up with “this too shall pass” and suggest he have the words inscribed on a ring to wear at all times. It reminds him to keep bad times in perspective and to appreciate the good times.

In 2021, “this too shall pass” has been doing triple duty. But it feels different now, a little less effective because it’s coming up against the idea of a “new normal” – one that’s become more and more uncomfortable.

The idea of wildfires, heat waves, drought, and flooding becoming regular occurrences.

The notion that the coronavirus is going to stay with us as an endemic disease, and we’ll live with it for the rest of our lives, the way we live with the flu. Vaccinations possibly becoming an annual event – along with, it seems dire controversies over whether to get them.

Increasing economic uncertainty, civil unrest, rancorous disputes around the dinner table … all these events and situations that used to be, if not rare, at least out of the ordinary, are now becoming familiar.

Everyday. Normal.

And we have to adapt because it seems there’s not much else to do. To learn to live with this new normal, and make the best of it.

“I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn’t arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I’m going to be happy in it.”

– Groucho Marx

There are times when all you can do is buckle down, adapt, and ride it out.

Ironically (if that’s the right word), “this too shall pass” doesn’t promise an end to change. Just the opposite.

It’s saying change happens and has always happened, and always will. “If you don’t like the weather, wait five minutes.” It promises that everything will pass away, eventually – except change itself.

The fear is that change itself is becoming so overwhelming and negative – chaos. “This too shall pass” is starting to sound like “You ain’t seen nothing yet.”

But there’s another old saying: that in the Chinese written language, the symbol for chaos is a combination of “crisis” and “opportunity.” The chaos in the world today does present us with crises – that’s obvious – but also opportunities, that might not be so obvious.

This idea might be a cliché, but as the great philosopher Brandon Sanderson points out, when clichés become meaningful, they cease to be clichés. And in the world of 2021, making sense of chaos has become desperately meaningful.

I’ve had more change in my life than most and can testify to the fact that opportunities come with change.

In fact, in my experience, there have never been opportunities without change.

And paradoxically, the best, most rewarding, and exciting opportunities have always been cloaked in despair – the times when I felt positive change just couldn’t happen, and life was only going to get worse, if anything, from there. Like it can feel sometimes now.

The feeling I mentioned before, that the world’s current level of chaos might be permanent and there’s no end in sight: that’s despair. It’s in that kind of darkness, I’ve discovered, that you learn to open your eyes wider.

You learn to look for alternatives that hadn’t appeared before and to take leaps that seemed impossible before.

It’s when the rug gets pulled out from under you that you learn to dance.

How can natural disasters, the pandemic, political strife, and family division be anything but painful, threatening, and terrifying? By seeing the opportunities they offer. Seeing them as prompts to positive change, on both personal and societal levels.

In other words, actively using them as openings to make things better.

Jack Canfield, the “Chicken Soup for the Soul” guy, suggests thinking about crisis in terms of the formula E + R = O. “E” is the event that presents itself, the crisis/ opportunity. “R” stands for Response – how you actively choose to behave in regard to the crisis. “O” stands for Outcome. E + R = O means the event doesn’t determine the outcome – how you respond to it does.

The response might not be an outward action.

Sometimes outward action isn’t possible, practical, or helpful. The response might be to examine and possibly change your attitudes, beliefs, mindsets, or priorities.

This might be “foxhole faith” – the saying goes that there are no atheists in a foxhole – but intense experiences that drive people to reconsider their beliefs can prompt genuine searching and insight.

And those new beliefs can completely change how you interpret a situation.

Isolation during Covid, for example, is a negative if you feel you can’t be alone comfortably. Turning that belief around transforms isolation into solitude: precious downtime to make art or music, read, or just be quiet.

The response to a crisis might be to expand your notions of who you are, what you can do, and what’s possible to you. This might lead to making meaningful changes in relationships: setting long-needed boundaries, opening up communication, or even ending a relationship when that’s become the painfully obvious best solution.

The response might be to see a crisis as the ultimate result of long-standing habits and attitudes that needed to change a long time ago – and finally gather the resolve to change them. These habits and attitudes could be personal or community-wide – calling for communitywide change.

A loss or seeming calamity often turns out, in retrospect, to be a significant turning point toward a better life. Despair turns out to be the darkness before the theater curtain rises and shows you a whole new world.

I don’t know how things will turn out. I know I’ve never gone wrong by looking for silver linings and trusting in unexpected, wonderful reversals.

I think we’re all going to be okay, in the end.

So I’m going to relax as best I can, pray, and do what I can, within my power, to make this holiday season, and the coming years, beautiful and fruitful – if not as comfortable as I might like.

I have a hunch that, when we look back from the future, we’ll see lots to be grateful for.

MAYOR’S MONTHLY REPORT AL GAMEROS CITY OF GLOBE COVID UPDATE The number of positive cases in Gila County and our community has continued to rise steadily since August.

October numbers are the highest since January of 2021.

The Globe-Miami, Claypool, and San Carlos community are averaging 15 new cases per day and accounts for 60% of total new cases for the entire Gila County. With the holidays approaching, I encourage everyone to be cautious while attending large gatherings by wearing a mask whether you are vaccinated or not.

Cases in Arizona also continue to rise, recording 59,506 new cases for an average of 2,203 daily. Deaths in four weeks are 1,005 for an average of 37 per day, reaching another milestone of 21K deaths in Arizona.

Hospitalizations are down from 1,830 to 1,397. Medical science has proven that the vaccines do work. I recommend that you consider getting vaccinated to help slow the spread. If you would like to get vaccinated, call the Gila County Health Department by making an appointment at 928-910-4009. You can also get antibody or COVID testing by calling 928-961-1284.

The City of Globe still encourages the public to wear masks when entering city facilities. City Council meetings are still at 50% capacity, with masks recommended.

CITIZENS ACADEMY The first annual Citizens Academy began on October 13th with fourteen participants. This is a six-week course held every Wednesday from 6 pm to 8 pm. The course gives participants an overview of the structure and operations of each department of city government.

Participants are required to attend five out of six classes, attend one council meeting, and attend one sub-committee meeting to meet the requirements for graduation from the course. A second Citizens Academy is scheduled for March of 2022.

THE COPPER CITIES COMMUNITY PLAYERS CHRISTMAS SHOW IS BACK! This year, we are doing things a little differently. Join us on Sunday, December 5, 2021, for Globe’s version of Las Posadas, a centuries-old tradition from Mexico reenacting the journey of Joseph and Mary as they seek shelter in Bethlehem. We will meet at the Historic Train Depot at 5:30 P.M. for a procession through the historic district, culminating in a joyful celebration at the Old Theater in the Cobre Valley Center for the Arts. There we will join in our Christmas Gala, complete with live performances as we come together to celebrate the joy of the holiday season.

Please know that this celebration will involve walking outside in December, so dress warmly and wear your comfortable shoes. Unfortunately, the elevator at the Center for the Arts was struck by lightning and is not operational, so we are back to using the stairs. Tickets for this event are $25.00 a person. For ticket information, please call the Center for the Arts at 928-425-0884, Jo Nell Brantley at 602-803-0064, or Diana Montgomery at 928425-8115. We hope to see you there.

STATE OF THE CITY REVIEW

I was asked to make a presentation as a representative of Central Arizona Government at the Annual Rural Transportation Advocacy Council meeting on October 14th at the Harrah’s Casino. The presentation was to gain support for two projects in southern Gila County. The first project is phase 1 and 2 of the Globe/Gila County Sidewalk Proposal from the new Connie’s Bridge to Six Shooter Canyon in the amount of $1,293,882.00. The second project is a Winkleman/Hayden Road Reconstruction Proposal in the amount of $951,170.00. The two proposals will now move forward to the next Legislative session to be considered for full funding from the State budget as part of a 50-million-dollar infrastructure allocation.

On behalf of our City Council and Staff, I want to thank everyone who attended the first annual State of The City Address. We need to continue to tell our story and commit to working together because our city’s future will be set by those who do come together to build our community and create new opportunities. We need to create an atmosphere of community pride because pride is the spark that starts the momentum that makes things happen. As the holidays approach, please consider shopping local in support of our businesses, which helps pay for the valuable services you receive.

RECREATION PROJECTS UPDATE

The “First Friday” events continue to grow each month with more participation from downtown businesses. This month we included a downtown cruise event that attracted around 60 vehicles cruising through downtown and then displaying their classic car vehicles. Our next First Friday event is November 5th from 5 pm to 8 pm. The Downtown Cruise will begin at 6 pm. We ask anyone participating in the cruise to meet at 5:45 pm at the Active Adult Center.

We encourage all residents in the community to come downtown and support all our downtown businesses, enjoy live music, and watch the vehicles cruising. I want to thank the Golden Oldies Car Club and everyone else that participated in the cruise. The cruise is open to anyone, whether you have a classic car or not, and all age groups are invited.

On October 12th, City Council voted to approve the contract with Structural Preservation Systems to begin the rehabilitation project for the Globe Community Center Pool. The initial proposal was to upgrade plumbing and a liner for approximately 1.1 million, but there was an increase to 1.3 million due to the costs of material. There was an extensive discussion on costs to add additional options. The final vote was to include the additional options at a final cost of 2.3 million. The additional options will include a zero entrance for swimmers, a splash pad, a movable bulkhead to divide the pool for competition events, swim team accessories, and the equipment to heat the pool which will allow the pool to stay open longer.

There have already been several local stakeholders that support this project and have made substantial donations to make this happen. Additional stakeholders will also be coming on board with more funding to help offset the increase in cost. This is a short-term project that our community is anticipating and will be completed by May of 2022.

On October 26th, City Council voted to approve the purchase of new playground equipment for City Hall Veterans Park in the amount of $116,126.56 from Game Time. The City of Globe received a CDBG Grant in the amount of $179,878.92 for the Veterans Park Revitalization Project. The equipment will be installed by the spring of 2022 and is a no-match grant to the city.

Additional funding has also been awarded to the city to replace the playground equipment at the Community Center and to install adult exercise equipment at the Active Adult Center.

Globe’s top attraction is a vital component of the City’s Recreational Master Plan

The Southwest Kiln Conference held its event at Besh Ba Gowah in 2019. The conference attracts a diverse group of people with a shared interest in better understanding prehistoric southwestern pottery.

The park grows native crops, including maize and squash, and offers a popular hands-on grinding area where kids can experience what it was like to grind corn into flour by hand.

This month the City will begin putting in new sidewalks along Six Shooter Canyon to connect downtown with Besh Ba Gowah and the Community Center. The project is a partnership between the RTAC (Rural Transportation Advocacy Council) and CAG (Central Arizona Governments).

It is being funded out of the $2,245,526 that the RTAC allocated for the CAG Region.

Safety has continued to be a priority for the City of Globe and Gila County and the lack of sidewalks along Jesse Hayes and Six Shooter Canyon Roads has been an ongoing concern.

The new sidewalks will not only improve safety, but serve as a vital part of the City’s Recreational Master Plan, providing pedestrian links to the City’s historic downtown area, the Community Center, Besh Ba Gowah (the main economic generator for the area), and Gila Pueblo Community College.

As one of the most significant archeological finds in Arizona, Besh Ba Gowah dates back over 700 years and attracts over ten thousand visitors each year. The site was the home of Salado Indians, believed to have been wayfaring Anasazi. It is by far the largest of three sites in the area, including the current site of the Gila Campus of Eastern Arizona College and a much smaller site known as the Pinal Pueblo in the same area.

Decades ago, the City of Globe, led by thenCouncilman Louis Aguirre, rescued the site and stepped up efforts to preserve and protect it in the late 1980s after years of neglect following the initial excavation done by Irene Vickery in the 1930s.

tion recrea

Today as one of the top attractions in the area, it brings thousands of visitors to Globe and serves as an essential touchstone of Native American influence on the region.

The museum at Besh Ba Gowah displays artifacts pulled from the site, plus a curated gift shop that reflects the site’s mission and a large community room where an informative video takes viewers through the history and development of the site.

But it is by strolling the grounds themselves that the story of Besh Ba Gowah and the Salado comes alive. Here you can see the foundation of that early settlement and imagine the daily life which existed here.

The museum director Leane McGill says ongoing work at Besh Ba Gowah includes updating and expanding exhibits, including “boxes” of artifacts from the Pinal Pueblo which have been in storage and seeking out grant funding to stabilize the structure of the two-story building on the site.

She and city staff are preparing to host this year’s “Lighting of the Luminaria.” “We had to skip last year due to COVID, so we are very excited to see this event come back in 2021,” says McGill.

If there were a People’s Choice Award, this would be at the top of the list. It is an experience both residents and visitors can enjoy with equal appreciation.

The museum has returned to its regular hours of operation, seven days a week from 9 am to 4:30 pm, after having to limit hours in 2021 due to COVID restrictions.

AWARDS, Continued from page 1 Launched 3 ½ years ago with county economic development funds, this threepronged campaign produced a marketing plan, a website with 550 subpages, and a social media platform.

“There was never a road map for Discover Gila County,” Davis expounded. “We did a lot of research and couldn’t find a single county in the U.S. that has taken on a monumental marketing program like this that covers the entire county and all the communities within it.”

So DGC ventured into unknown territory.

Their 78-page marketing plan was produced with the input of many county stakeholders. Mac Feezor, DGC Board President, remembers, “We spent the first 6 months meeting with everybody we could think of in Gila County -- north, south, east, west, big towns, small towns, everywhere --asking them what made their area special and why people would want to go see it.” This information became the foundation for their website. “Every place you can think of to go where there’s something to do, you can find information on the website. It’s engaging and informative.”

The stats during the pandemic prove that visitors agree.

“That was the first real ‘rubber meets the road’ indication where we could see the value of the marketing program that we put together,” explained Davis. “This year alone we’ve had nearly 130,000 visitors to the website and our Facebook page is right at 13,000 followers.“ However, even more important than numbers of visitors and followers is site engagement. Davis explains, “Engagement is likes, comments, shares. It’s some type of interaction that takes place with the content. If you do a Google search for typical engagement rates for Facebook, you’ll see it’s a 0.99%.” Discover Gila County has a 30% engagement rate. “So we’re performing 30 times greater than the average business entity or group engagement rate.”

Davis thinks DGC’s success is linked to the striking resources Gila County offers.

“It has a lot to do with our attractions, the adventurous outdoor stuff, as well as our history.” However, DGC’s success would not be possible without well-designed marketing. Gila County hired Razor Thin Media in Payson for this reason.

“We design all their magazine ads, do the public relations for the program, manage all the updates and changes on the website, and create all of their promotional videos. The website now has over 200 videos that people can see and over 4000 photographs.”

To manage the larger marketing efforts, a 501c3 nonprofit was formed called Discover Gila County, Inc. Its 5-member board is made up of local business owners from incorporated and unincorporated parts of Gila County, the two county Chamber of Commerce directors, and a county government representative.

Currently serving on the Board of Directors is President Mac Feezor, Vice President James Bruzzi, Secretary Tianna Holder, Maia Crespin, and Jacque Sanders.

Davis says both chambers are represented intentionally because “we’re inviting tourists to come to our community and they control the visitor’s centers.” He adds, “One of our goals is to drive people from our advertising and promotions to our chambers where they can learn of things to do in our communities, as well as get introduced to our businesses.

AAED This is one of our mission critical objectives.”

Another “mission critical” focus is to recruit businesses and support job acquisition. Davis says DGC created a job board to “help people who live in Gila County or who want to move here successfully find good sustainable jobs.“ Feezor adds, “People said they were having a hard time finding workers. So this is a central place where people can find what they need. We wanted to make it a one-stop shop.” He adds that a housing resource is coming soon.

Davis credits stakeholders with the success of DGC. “No county has ever done this, so we really had to rely on our stakeholders coming to the table with a ‘can do’ attitude. There were some who said this could never happen and we’ve proved those people wrong. This is a testament to those people that were ‘all in’ from the beginning.”

Feezor believes DGC will naturally support economic development. “We’re marketing Gila County, but it sells itself once people know what is here.”

We exist to educate and empower students to become culturally responsive, global Nn’ee.

Vaccination Goals & Plans to Reopen Schools for San Carlos Unified School District San Carlos Unified School District is reaching out asking our community parents and families for your help to meet our goals so that we can reopen schools for in-person daily instruction by January 3, 2022. Although online learning and hybrid instruction has allowed our students and staff to remain safe, we know that our students learn best and enjoy daily in-person learning more.

GOAL #1 – Reopen all schools to in-person instruction by January 3, 2022. To reopen fully by the start of the spring semester on January 3, 2022, our objective is to reach at least 80% of all students within each school campus, Rice Primary, Rice Intermediate, San Carlos Middle School and San Carlos High School (pre-K through 12th grades) to be fully vaccinated.

Action Steps to Reach Goal #1 Each Friday through December 17, 2021, SCUSD and the San Carlos Apache Health Care Corporation have partnered to allow better accessibility for all parents and families to obtain vaccinations as follows for all students ages 5-18 years old.

• Each Friday, from November 12, 2021, through Friday, December 17, 2021 – SCUSD will use school transportation to pick up students and

parents to take into vaccination clinics. Please call SCUSD Transportation Department to be placed on the list to be picked up with your child(ren). Call Monica at 928-475-3682.

• PLEASE NOTE: If your child(ren) receive their first vaccination on November 5th or November 12th, they will receive their second vaccination

by December 17, 2021, and be fully vaccinated by January 3, 2022.

GOAL #2 – Close Virtual Learning Option by December 17, 2021 (End of Fall Semester 2021) Action Steps to Reach Goal #2 • Hybrid learning will be provided for those students who have not received full vaccinations. The full virtual online learning option will no longer be provided at SCUSD. For further information or questions, please contact the Office of the Superintendent at the number or email above.

MR. DILLON RETIRES! Earl Dillon retired after 28 years with San Carlos Unified School District where he served as custodian for San Carlos High School. We wish him the best in his retirement and thank him for his many years of service.

eMBRY Health assists Miami after disastrous flooding hits the town in July Alfredo Gutierrez, a long-time Arizona legislator and community leader, reached out to eMBRY Health this summer after witnessing the rapid response to flooding on the Hopi nation in which the company delivered 6,000 sandbags to residents less than a week after floods devastated their tribal lands.

Gutierrez asked if they could lend a hand in Gila County to the communities of Miami and Globe, where summer flooding had caused extensive damage. Miami Town Mayor Sammy Gonzales also reached out to eMBRY Health and invited the company to a community meeting where residents spoke about the hardships they now face.

As a result of that meeting, Raymond Embry, eMBRY Health CEO, stepped up to help Miami.

Throughout September and October, the company donated and delivered hundreds of pieces of plywood, sandbags, and sheetrock on three separate occasions to families living in Miami. The effort came amid nationwide shortages of materials and higher prices due to

the global supply-chain disruptions. The combination made it especially difficult for residents to get the materials on their own.

Residents used these materials to reinforce walls, rebuild doors and windows, and most importantly, piece back their lives. “Many of our town’s residents live on fixed incomes,” said Miami Town Manager Micah Gaudet. “The floods damaged their homes beyond recognition, and there was no way they could afford the materials to repair the homes themselves.”

“We are grateful for the partnership with eMBRY Health,” says Gaudet, adding that “If it hadn’t been for eMBRY Health purchasing and delivering these items so quickly to Miami, our residents would be living outside as colder winter temperatures arrive.”

Note: Phoenix-based eMBRY Health is the largest private provider of free COVID-19 testing services and has expanded their services, saying, “Arizona’s can rest assured that when catastrophe strikes, eMBRY Health will be there to assist.”

LINDA, PLEASE RESEND NAMES

Town Manager Micah Gaudet, Mark Chaidez (Miami resident) Jed Riding (Embry Health).

FREE TESTING SITE A free, mobile COVID-19 testing site is now available in Miami at the corner of Live Oak and Adonis Avenue. Testing hours of operation are Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

This service is being made available in Miami through Phoenixbased eMBRY Health. The Town of Miami encourages residents to take advantage of the COVID-19 testing. It remains a deadly virus, and cases have risen in Gila County in the last month, so we encourage residents to make informed medical decisions in consultation with their primary care provider.

MORE THAN A DECADE ADDED TO MINE LIFE

15

US FOREST SERVICE APPROVES PINTO VALLEY MINE PLAN OF OPERATIONS Miami, AZ – November 4, 2021: Pinto Valley Mining Corp is pleased to announce that it has received final approvals from the US Forest Service (USFS) for plans that will keep the Pinto Valley Mine operating another 19 years. The mine plan of operations, approved by the Tonto National Forest Supervisor Neil Bosworth, allows Pinto Valley to utilize an additional 229 acres of National Forest System lands surrounding the mine. “This a truly a historic day for Pinto Valley,” said Mike Wickersham, General Manager of the mine.

“Getting to this approval took more than five years. We want to thank the Forest Service employees that helped keep this project on track.”

Expansion of the mine will maintain 690 jobs and protects the related economic activity, mainly in Gila County, for nearly 20 years. “This is a huge win for Globe-Miami and surrounding communities. Both our local businesses and our local workforce have an abundance to gain from this,” said Tianna Holder, executive director of the Globe-Miami Chamber of Commerce, “and the cherry on top is seeing two entities that do so much for our community work together to form this agreement.”

“As Gila County’s second largest private employer, Pinto Valley’s continued operation is critical to the region,” said Gila County District 2 Supervisor Tim Humphrey. “We can all breathe a sigh of relief knowing the future is so much clearer and brighter.”

To get to this decision, the Tonto National Forest looked at all the potential impacts associated with the mine’s expanded footprint. Prior to making

the approval, the Tonto National Forest solicited input through written and verbal comments from interested stakeholders and evaluated volumes of data provided

by Pinto Valley Mining Corp. that was also reviewed by independent technical experts.

The approval charts a course for the continued operation of the mine. The plan includes additional environmental controls

and financial assurance that will protect the taxpayers for the company’s use of public land. In addition, the mine plan adds extra monitoring and mitigation measures that address potential environmental impacts from the continued operation of the mine.

Expansion of the mine is expected to produce 2.5 billion pounds of copper.

NOVEMBER 2021

BY THE NUMBERS ✦ On November 11, global total reported cases of COVID stood at 252.5 million, and total official deaths had reached 5,092,900. Deaths had crossed the 5 million mark on November 1. (1) ✦ Total reported cases in the USA reached 47,648,778 and total official deaths exceeded 780.000. (1) ✦ Arizona has seen a total of 1,199,277 cases and 21,525 deaths attributed to COVID. Arizona is currently the #5 state in the country for deaths per 1 million population and #3 from the bottom in testing rates. (2) ✦ Gila County has had 10,138 reported cases and 267 deaths, with 2,280 cases in zip code 85501. (3)

AROUND THE WORLD ✦ Currently, countries in Central and Eastern Europe are being hit hardest, particularly Romania and Bulgaria, as well as the United Kingdom. (4), (5) ✦ The Netherlands, Austria, and Germany are experiencing new records in case numbers in what is being called the fifth wave of the COVID epidemic in Europe. Russia is seeing record numbers of daily fatalities. (5) ✦ In New Zealand, which had managed to keep the virus out for over a year, the delta variant has been spreading and causing record case numbers. (6) ✦ AstraZeneca has released a new multi-antibody treatment, called Evusheld, that seems to offer better protection against variants and could be of great benefit in protecting people for whom the vaccines don’t work. (7)

“Just because you decide the pandemic is over for you doesn’t mean it’s over for everybody ...

Here’s an alternative idea: let’s all be prepared.

Let’s use the tools we have.

Let’s call it over after it ends.”

(Public health expert Andy Slavitt)

COVID-19 UPDATE “Life may be different for a time, but it can and will feel more familiar again. And after so much disruption, so much anxiety, everyone deserves that.”

(New Zealand prime minister Jacinda Ardern)

ACROSS THE COUNTRY ✦ In America, the pandemic seems to be weakening, with national rates dropping after a peak in September – although rates remain high in certain areas. (5) ✦ Children became eligible for vaccination, and nearly 1 million got their jabs in the first week. (8) ✦ In 11 states, attorneys general sued the federal government over requirements for some 84 million workers to be vaccinated or tested weekly. (9) ✦ Deborah Birx, who had been the Trump administration’s COVID-19 response coordinator, testified that 130,000 Americans who died early in the pandemic could have been saved if the Trump administration had acted more quickly and decisively. (10) ✦ Nov. 8, the U.S. reopened its borders to foreign travelers who have been fully vaccinated. They have to show proof of vaccination plus a negative test. (11) ✦ Reports are increasing of animals contracting and transmitting the coronavirus. A study found that in Iowa, one third of deer had active infections, and four out of five tested positive. Deer had contracted infections from humans and then passed it on to other deer. This isn’t the first time the virus has been found in animals – it has even appeared in lions at the Singapore zoo. But the spread and viral load in the deer shocked researchers. (12)

“A village is vanishing every day in Romania. What about in a week or a month?

A larger village? Or a city?

Where do we stop?”

(Catalin Cirstoiu, head of Bucharest’s university emergency hospital)

www.GlobeMiamiTimes.com

IN ARIZONA ✦ New cases and hospitalizations edged up again in November, surpassing the peak numbers of the summer. AZDHS reported that every county in Arizona was seeing substantial or high COVID transmission during the second week of November.

(13) ✦ According to a release from Mayor Gameros’s office, Arizona suffered a 43% increase in new cases and a 170% increase in deaths in the past two weeks as a daily average. Poorly vaccinated areas of each county in Arizona are bearing the brunt of the rising infection and death rates. ✦ Nov. 11, a Phoenix man was released from Banner University Medical Clinic after spending five months in the hospital with COVID. He was 59 years old when admitted and had been healthy, worked two jobs, and weighed 200 pounds prior to contracting COVID. During his battle with COVID, he lost 60 pounds and was on a ventilator for 87 days. (14)

“Breakthrough COVID-19 cases are rare among those who are fully vaccinated. They are normally much milder, and vaccinated individuals are far less likely to be hospitalized or die from COVID-19.”

(ADHS Interim Director Don Herrington)

GLOBE-MIAMI ✦ According to Mayor Gameros’s office, COVID continues to surge in Gila County. The county has seen a 48% increase in new cases – as well as a 9% increase in hospitalizations – in the past two weeks. ✦ Gila County reported 192 new cases last week, including 120 in Globe-Miami, 46 in Payson, 4 in Pine, and one in Tonto Basin. ✦ Statewide, 57% of residents have had at least one vaccine shot, but among Gila County residents, that number is only 45%. However, the vaccination rate in all three counties of the region has increased recently in response to the rise in cases, as well as clusters in schools.

Tom Foster recognized by the Arizona Historical Society Tom Foster, the Executive Director of Bullion Plaza Cultural Center and Museum, was recently awarded the Al Merito Award by the Arizona Historical Society. It is the highest award bestowed by the AHS and is “in recognition of his enthusiastic public service, commitment to the Arizona Historical Society’s mission, and dedication to rural people and communities in Arizona.” Past recipients include Dr. Bill Haak (1998), Marshall Trimble (2011), and Barry Goldwater (1996).

L-to-R Dr. John Bush, daughter Joanna Bush, Daniel Chapman, and Anthony Bush, President of San Carlos Apache Veterans Association.

The Run to the Rez organization was honored to give a donation of $10,000.00 to the San Carlos Apache Veterans Association at their Veterans banquet held at the Apache Gold Pavilion. Thank you, Veterans, and thanks to all of you that participated in the 2021 Run to the Rez Motorcycle event. The event had 600 registered for the run with riders coming from as far away as Canada, France and Austrailia. The grand prize – a Harley bike – was won by a New York biker.

Sales of See’s Candy supports scholarship program for healthcare This holiday season, we welcome you to CVRMC’s Gift Shop, where all profits from the sale of our See’s Candy will go towards our local scholarship program.

Kate and Phil Stewart at their shop in Miami.

STEWART’S ANTIQUE NOOK, Continued from page 1 Over time the Stewart’s collected a “war chest” of old radios and furniture, mostly from Arizona estate sales. Antique items overflowed their home and into Phil’s workspace. They toyed with the idea of opening a store or putting up a booth in an antique mall, and why they decided on Miami is very simple, according to Phil.

“We’re drawn to the people,” he says. “We feel accepted. The friendships are near and dear to us.”

Setting Up Shop in Miami, AZ The Stewarts inked their deal for the storefront on Sullivan Street in June, 2021. Then came the fires and they were asked to stay away until the danger subsided. They had but a few shelves up and a few things in when the waters came rushing in at the end of July.

The flash floods that ravaged downtown Miami brought the Stewarts even closer to their new community. Mayor Sammy Gonzales made a big impression on Phil and he asked the mayor to cut the ribbon when they opened their new business the 2nd Saturday in August.

“We’re off to a very nice start,” says Phil. “It has exceeded our expectations.”

Phil and Kate are not ready to retire from their “real jobs” just yet. Phil’s been in the plastics business for nearly 40 years; he coowns PCM, a small manufacturing company in Mesa. Kate has been a first grade teacher for 20 years and works with the Mesa Unified School district.

Kate is also a mosaic artist, a craft she restarted shortly before the onset of Covid-19. Some of her pieces are for sale near the front of the store. Some days she works on her projects there.

“It is actually pretty relaxing up here,” Kate laughs, “and there are so many people to talk to; we just chat all weekend.”

Although one of the newest businesses on Sullivan Street, the Stewarts have already created a following, bringing new business to downtown Miami, and working with the other merchants to launch Second Saturday and promote the local business community.

It’s getting harder for the Stewarts to head back to Mesa at the end of each weekend.

“It’s hard for us to quantify, but for Kate and I, when we’re in our store in Miami, it feels right,” Phil says. “There is something in the air.”

Pairing Old and New Technologies Experimenting with his mentor, Phil learned that some of the old radios lend themselves to being blue-toothed.

“There is a jack in the back of the set where you can connect your bluetooth receiver and stream music and control it through your phone,” he explains, “though not all of them.”

Lee Kinnard, owner of Dominion Firearms in Miami, has a 1946 RCA table radio that he recalls listening to as a kid. It belonged to his grandfather. It quit playing along the way, but Lee held onto it.

Recently Phil cleaned it up and got it working again and was able to blue-tooth it. Now the radio plays all day at the shop, -- some radio programming, but mostly the content Lee streams.

“It’s great,” says Lee. “The speaker on that old radio from 1946 is better than the soundbar or the TV.” This morning’s customer doesn’t give a “flying flip” about the blue-tooth pairing. He is fascinated with short-wave radios though and says they’re hard to find. Until now. He peruses the wall of short-wave radios. Phil points out a Zenith 5-band shortwave built in 1955.

“These are phenomenal,” Phil describes, “you put these up in your backyard and you’re all over the planet.”

From their store on Sullivan Street, the Stewarts can pick up AM stations from Sacramento and Montana and to Texas and Missouri. The short wave radios go all over the world, Phil says, in so many languages, some unidentified.

“At night, when the ionosphere lifts, it allows a radio to reach out,” Phil says. “You never know what you’re going to get.”

The man from Show Low got a 1946 Firestone. Another happy customer.

This 1946 Firestone radio was recently sold to a gentleman from Show Low.

The Golden Age of Radio

The first commercial radio broadcast in the United States occurred 101 years ago.

It was election day, November 2, 1920, and station KDKA in Pittsburgh, PA demonstrated the power of radio as people heard the results of the Harding-Cox presidential race before they read about it in the newspaper.

By the early 1930s, a majority of Americans had a radio receiver in their home and according to a 1947 survey, 82% of Americans were radio listeners. Radio was the first electronic mass media technology, surpassed by television in the 1950s.
