Spinning the Color Wheel of Life Kim Stone

In the movie The Devil Wears Prada, Meryl Streep’s character chides her young assistant for not appreciating the subtle permutations of the color blue. It’s a classic scene that intends to illustrate how trivially many of us regard color, and how blithely unwitting we are to the influences that motivate us to choose a sky blue cerulean sweater over turquoise or some other nearby slice of the color spectrum. If you believe this fictionalized fashion guru, our color choices are not our own. Even the lowliest department store clearance bin is stocked with fabric colors that trickled down from the creative oeuvres of Yves Saint Laurent, Marc Jacobs, Chanel, and other top tier designers of the fashion industry.

words that honor its hold on us. I would rather hear a wide-eyed three-year-old describe a hedgehog flower as simply purple, than to listen to an adult take the lazy low road and say, “It’s kind of lightish-lavender, you know?”

A popular bumper sticker seen around mining communities reads, If it can’t be grown, it has to be mined. Up until the early 1900’s, when chemically produced pigments became widely available, this same slogan could have applied to the entire worldwide colorant industry. Pigments up to that point were derived from a short list of minerals, plants, and animals, and were bland and unsaturated compared to the modern aniline dyes of today.

In the middle ages, centuries before Rit Dye, Sherwin Williams, and Peter Max, no one used the words subdued

Well, maybe. I’m not as interested in who should be credited with influencing my color preferences as I am in finding the right words to describe a color with the justice it deserves, particularly when the flower, or bird, or sunset isn’t around to speak for itself. Copout adjectives like pale orange, soft pink, or dull violet sound more like the description of a tedious brother-in-law than a color.

Hyphenated hybrids such as blue-green are a little better, but only if there is a color wheel handy to see the blend first hand. Worst of all is the use of the suffix ish, as if a nurse reports, “The patient looks bluish.” This tells the doctor that the patient isn’t jaundiced or sunburned, but says little about whether he is choking or dead.

Color is emotional, therapeutic, evocative—even manipulative—and it only seems fair to choose descriptive

or muted to expand on the drab color of the leather and burlap that covered their backs. With no modern-day context, the words went nowhere, and were as redundant as saying water is wet. The primary colors were all represented but had Neanderthal-sounding names as plain as the colors that were wrung out of the plants: woad (Isatis tinctorum), was the predominant source of blue, and most yellows came from weld, (Reseda luteola).

Reds were particularly valuable, and two of the most important historical sources can be found growing at the Arboretum today. Before contact with the new world, madder (Rubia tinctorum), was the major source of red pigment in Europe.

Arizona, first became available.

Cochineal is a tiny scale insect that produces a carmine red color (from carminic acid) when crushed. It was brought to the old world from Mexico by the Spanish, and was cultivated for several centuries throughout the new and old world as the most important commercial source of the color red.

Just as television was much simpler to watch before cable, we are now bombarded with a barrage of pigment variations in both the physical and digital world that have made color as intimidating as it is liberating. Lighted racks of paint swatches cover walls in every paint department. From black to white and every color in between, if Glidden doesn’t have what you’re looking for, then Dutch Boy probably does.

The paint industry has tried to remedy the modern-day plague of too many choices by pairing their colors with names that help to bring the colors alive. Evocative names, like Serengeti Sand, Chopstick, Belgian Waffle, and Cypress Sage, have become as integral to imparting emotion into a color as the color itself, and can often seal the deal when dithering between closely related swatches.

Why call a Lantana flower orangishred, when it’s clearly the color of Mango Sherbet? Either Victorian Garnet, Gothic Red, or Plum Cabaret would paint a more vivid picture of “that darkish red rose in the Herb Garden.” Gradations of yellow might run the gamut of Limoncello to Curry Gold, and a delicate light green could be better interpreted as Moroccan Sea or Celery Stick. The names are as limitless as the colors that inspire them.

This summer we feature several articles which reflect in some way the idea of growing good things by keeping it simple. Growing a garden. Growing minds. Growing healthy. They all benefit from keeping it simple.

Just visit our story on pp. 23 about Fred “The worm man.”

As we all bake in record high temperatures, Fred Jiminez, manages to coax an abundance of lush plants from every corner of his yard and create a veritable oasis of happy plants and insects which are oblivious to the heat.

Watching bees and butterflies flit from plant to plant, Fred talks about how he builds up good soil using natures' simple soil builders; worms. "Build and nurture your soil," he says – "and the rest follows."

This idea is echoed in the recent project over in San Carlos where Max Media and the Tiziano Group are helping San Carlos kids grow into powerful storytellers of their own using only simple equipment and teaching the basics of good storytelling in the digital age. The project has produced more than just a collection of amazing, well-told stories from kids we usually don’t get a chance to hear from, but skills like this, once taught, create a rich soil which will continue to support creative possibilities in everyone it touches. See: "Telling Stories from San Carlos in the Digital Age," by Jenn Walker on pp. 24.

My piece on Eat to Live was influenced by my own road to health in converting to a whole-foods, plant-based lifestyle and a recent report by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation which identifies Gila County as one of the least healthy counties in the State. It is not about our air or water (both good). It is about food and exercise. We do too much of one and not enough of the other. I would argue it’s not just Gila County. We have gotten away from the simple basics of food production and consumption in this country and it is robbing us of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. If you want to take your life back, check out Eat to Live, pp. 3.

“The food you eat can be either the safest & most powerful form of medicine, or the slowest form of poison.”

The work on Bullion Plaza this Spring and the opening of the new Slavic Cultural Center in the South Wing help to highlight the importance of Bullion Plaza as an economic, social and cultural beacon for Miami. From the beautifully displayed histories of Slavic families who helped settle this area, to the hardwood floors and grand expanse of the refurbished Inspiration Room it appears the halls of Buillion Plaza are once again abuzz with activity....and great potential.

Bringing Globe-Miami to You

The Vandals Cheer Squad jump for joy at the Health Fair in April hosted

by Cobre Valley Regional Hospital.

And on a final note of ‘simple.’

As I get older I find I want less clutter and smaller closets – and this has translated to my decision to sell the family B&B. As many of you know, I have owned Cedar Hill Bed and Breakfast since inheriting it from my mother who moved here in 1992. It has been a rich life and I’ve met so many wonderful people as a result of Cedar Hill that it has been impossible to think of life ‘outside of Cedar Hill.’ Until now.

Now I am ready to hand the baton off to someone who will love the place as I have and bring their own ideas and energy to the ‘art of owning a B&B.’ You can find all the details on pp. 15.

So what will happen next? It's all a mystery. Just like life.

But full of potential if you have the right soil.

Her lowered lids and hazy smile frightened me.

The apple strudel doesn’t fall far from the tree, as they say, and when I was old enough to get a job – I was tall at eleven – all of my money went into candy bars. The bureau drawers were filled with the stuff, and I had the cavities to prove it. Only later did it become obvious that, like much in life, moderation and an appreciation of the classics make for an improved reality.

Like many, I still struggle with the ‘moderation’ part, but I can say that I’ve Christine sampled gelato in Milan and baklava and Lisa at in Beirut, and my appreciation for the Noels' Sweets sweet things in life has been enhanced by these experiences.

While Globe is known statewide for absolutely delicious Mexican food, our desserts are a great counterpoint, and they beat the chain places and fast food joints handsdown. In the words of the famous thinker and essayist Erma Bombeck, ‘Seize the moment. Remember all those women on the Titanic who waved off the dessert cart’.

DID YOU KNOW? Before the invention of the cone, ice cream was either licked out of a small glass (a penny lick, penny cone, penny sucker, or licking glasses) or taken away wrapped in paper which was called a “hokey pokey.” The customer would lick the ice cream off the dish and return the dish to the vender, who washed it and filled it for the next customer. As you can guess, sanitation was a problem. An even bigger problem was that the ice cream vender couldn’t wash the dishes fast enough to keep up with demand on a hot day.

Ice cream in a cup also became known as a “toot,” which many have been derived from the Italian word “tutti” or “all,” as customers were urged to “Eat it all.” They were also known as “wafers,” “oublies,” “plaisirs,” “gaufres,” “cialde,” “cornets,” and “cornucopias.”

Bullion Plaza Unveiled!

Bullion Plaza School served as a grammar school from 1923 to 1994.

Operated for most of its lifetime as the town’s “Mexican” school, it reflected the segregation pattern which prevailed in many Arizona communities including the public school system.

It was desegregated during the 195051 school year.

The building is on the National Historic Register and was established as a museum in 1997. Thanks to the influx of grant funding and in-kind contributions in the last several years the museum has been able to expand and upgrade displays for mining, ranching and cultural history.

And with the recent renovations of the South Wing it is set to host community events and serve a broader role in the communitys’ economic and social life.

Executive Director, Tom Foster outside Buillion Plaza at 5am preparing for another full day of projects.

Development of the grants was done

by Tom Foster, Executive Director and Cynthia Bach, past museum Board member and grant writer.

The most recent grant from the Freeport McMoRan Copper & Gold Foundation in the amount of $112,591 was used to repaint the exterior (as shown in this photo), replace broken windows, install new carpet in the South Hallway, refinish original hardwood floors, install new blinds and ceiling fans and add HVAC for the South Wing and first floor.

Several local contractors have contributed substantially to the reconstruction of Bullion Plaza and it’s new life as a museum and cultural center.

Matt Kannegard and his company RAM specialists have been with the museum project from the beginning donating time, materials, labor and overall assistance without which the museum would not be where it is today.

Others, including Dale Fletcher, owner of Kino Floors, handled the restoration and refinishing of the original hardwood floors and installation of new carpet and tile and window coverings enabling monies to

stretch further than thought possible. And Gerry Kolbeck of Pinal Lumber helped with window glass and other materials throughout the renovation. A big thanks must go to these local owners who have so generously given to this project.

This Spring a new wing was opened up to house the Rose Mofford Collection and create a standing exhibit for Slavic families who helped settle this area. Funds for this space were raised through separate donations and developed through a committee under the supervision of Rosemary Castenada and Linda Pearce.

The displays were designed by Matt Marich whose company EDGE does displays for companies worldwide. He is a cousin of Toni Wantland who came up with the idea of doing Family Boards for the Center and was glad to help out.

Work is ongoing to refurbish the Inspiration Room, a huge space stretching almost the length of the South Hallway and the adjacent “Copper Room”.

Once completed these two rooms will be used to host community events.

If you have not stopped in to visit Bullion Plaza recently, now is the time. It has become a must-see stop for both visitors and locals.

Slavic Cultural Center is exceptional not only for the breadth of family history and photographs, but it is done in such a way that even the visitor will be pulled into the stories of courage, struggle, and triumph which shine through each story told.

The Museum is open ThursdaySaturday from 11am-3pm and Sunday Noon-3pm. You can now find them on facebook, or get additional information on gmteconnect.com/businessdirectory/ museums.

Despite these twin tragedies, Twain emerged in ’98 and..’ found himself ready to transform death and debt into the raw material for a hilarious, overthe-top-comedy.’”

The play was never performed and languished in storage until it was discovered a hundred years later in his papers at the Berkeley’s Bancroft Library. It was adapted to stage by David Ives and performed for the first time in 2007.

Opening of the Slavic Cultural Center

The Society Page

The center features the ethnic dress of several of the Slavic provinces. The two flags showing are the (l-r) Croatian and Montenegin flags which are dipped in honor to the American flag which hangs at the front of the room. There is also a Serbian flag and those three areas are where the majority of the immigrants came from in the old country.

Changing of the Guard: The new Globe City Council takes office

Newly elected council members Eric Mariscal, Mike Humphreys and James Haley take the oath of office as Mayor Wheeler looks on.

Upper: Joe Sanchez, Mitch Malkovich, John Vucichevich, Father Janko of St. Sava's Orthodox Church (who gave a blessing on the room), Lower: Tom Foster, Rosemary Castaneda, Linda Pearce and Franceen Gregovich-Benton. These people and many others donated time, expertise and money to make the new Slavic Cultural Center a realty.

Outgoing Mayor Fernando Shipley hands over the gavel to Incoming Mayor Terry Wheeler.

The Govenors' Ball How do you get seven men to dress up in black suits in the middle of July to stage a photo shoot to promote the Ball in September? You enlist the charms of Rosemary Tiechrow (white) and Katie Gardea (B&W), you tell them it is for the "Good of the Center" and you promise a cold brew afterwards. They came. They dressed. They laughed. They sweated.

They followed directions. They looked adoringly. Hope to see you all on September 29th at the Ball!

Matt Marich, whose family is also represented here, helped the committee design the professional displays which could be easily reproduced and adapted to each family history. His father, Pug Marich, who now lives in the Valley was one of the distinguished 90 year old visitors to the Center for the opening.

Trisha & Dennis Morgan, Mike Pastor and Rick Powers attended the opening ceremony.

Paul Buck and Katie Gardea – a moment right out of the hit series "Mad Men."

Mrs. Rosemary Tiechrow (86) agreed to help us promote the Ball by donning her favorite gown and hanging out with the guys! The Men in Black made sure she had a good time!

SUMMER 2012

The Society Page Downtown Summerfest 2012 This was a new event put on by Main Street and the Center for the Arts and helped to ring in the start of Summer in grand style with a watermelon carving contest, Farmer's Market cook off, food booths and games for all ages.

The rules were played loose and fast, but this game of water tag got the thumbs up approval of all. Sadie Hunsaker showed them that a girl could hold her own in this contest!

Molly Cornwell helps Collin Williamson who enthusiastically caught on to the idea of this game!

Best seat in the house is on Dad's shoulders.

Bronze Artist,Tim Harmon had his works displayed at the center for the month of July. He was on hand during Summerfest where he worked on a piece while answering questions from visitors.

Stewart Boot Company: A Perfect Fit Stewart Boot Company on 28th street in South Tucson has been making custom boots ever since Ronnie Stewart moved his business from LA to the Old Pueblo in the 1950’s.

I first heard of the Stewart Boot Company while working for a guest ranch over on Sweetwater in the 70’s and my boss had four pair of them. It seemed if you were serious Victor holds up boots which are in the process of getting cork soles installed. The mixture is applied to the soles about your cowboy boots of the boot and serve as 'memory foam' cushion which you knew about Stewart forms to the foot and provides the trademark comfort of a Stewart boot.

Boot Company.

I got my first pair in 1978 and have kept two pair around ever since; a working pair and a fancy pair. I would rather wear a pair of Stewarts’ than most other footwear.

The current owner, Victor Borge bought the business in 1973 after he walked out of a lucrative job with PanAm as an electronic engineer over a disagreement with his boss. Instead of going back into the high tech business, he says he was drawn immediately to the boot shop where it was about production and making something with your hands. No corporate politics. No design by committees. He bought the shop and showed up the first week, only to find all of his workers only They recently added a line of spoke Spanish. So he first had to learn custom purses Spanish before he could learn the boot business. And in the process he learned how to be a good ‘foot man.’

Anyone who has had a pair of Stewart Boots knows it is the fit that keeps you coming back for more.

From the additional room built in for a bunion to the height of your arch and the xtra length of your big toe, a custom boot from here means just Perfect Fit, Continued on page 16

The shop uses 1910 machines which work as well today as they did back then.

Perfect Fit, Continued from page 15 that; customized for your foot. While they specialize in horsehide they carry a wide range of leathers including exotics like water buffalo, snake and crocodile.

Their boots start at $375 and go up depending on the leather you choose, and the amount of stitching and custom design which goes into the boot. A little known fact that I discovered years ago is their bin of “uppers” which have slight imperfections. If you are lucky enough to find an upper which is in your size and suits your tastes, you might be able to pick up a pair of custom Stewarts for as little as $200.

A customer who reviewed them on-line said this, “They are priced right. Not fashionistas, but top quality for those who know boots. Highly recommended.”

I’d have to agree.

Stewart Boots is located at 30 W. 28th Street, Tucson, Arizona, 857713. Call 520-622-2706 for more information.

Eat To Live, Continued from page 3 in their health using any marker you care to measure from cholesterol, to heart health to skin tone. It is one reason the word ‘diet’ is a misnomer here. This is not just another way to loose weight or trim up. Although that happens.

Plant-based nutrition addresses the real issues with health. Your arteries.

If you are confused about all the terms, here is a helpful guide: • Vegetarians eat plant foods and no animal foods or products derived from them. Ovo-lacto vegetarians also eat eggs and dairy products; ovo-vegetarians eat eggs but not dairy products; lacto vegetarians eat dairy products but not eggs.

• Vegans eat only plants and plant-derived foods but do not necessarily exclude refined flours, sugars, oils etc.

• A whole-foods, plant-based diet is a vegan diet that excludes refined foods.

• The whole-foods, diet outlined by the Esselstyns’ also exclude oils.

Your heart, liver, kidneys, bones etc. It addresses your bodys’ natural ability to heal itself and in doing so, forgoing the need for medications, surgeries and frankly alot of angst about the next, best thing on the market.

It’s not rocket science. It is food.

Pure and simple.

You would think this would be an easy choice for anyone to make, but we all know it is not. Food is more than sustenance. It is a social, economic and cultural powerhouse loaded with landmines. Afterall, who wants to argue with Mom’s apple pie? (White flour.

White sugar. And Crisco!) And who CAN argue with a meat and dairy industry which spends billions on marketing and product positioning to assure us that meat and dairy are the best source of all things good for us?

But argue you have to. That is, if you want to take your health back.

Last September, former president Bill Clinton was interviewed by Dr. Sanja Gupta on his own road back to health. Clinton, who had suffered from two heart attacks after leaving fr the th White House, and was known for his h two-cheeseburger lunches, said he ‘got ‘g serious’ about his health after his second heart attack and sought out the s help of Dr. Esselstyn. Since following h his h advice Clinton says he looks and

This is sure to wow your friends. Just don’t tell them it’s healthy!

This desert will give you a new outlook on eating Plant-strong. It has no added oils, but those already found in the nut-base crust, and instead of refined sugars and flour, it’s creaminess comes from silken tofu blended with chocolate providing the body with protein for those calories consumed instead of a sugar high.

Torte Crust Filling

• 1 PKG Silken Tofu (The soft stuff for baking. Not the firm tofu for grilling) • 1 cup Choc Chips 60% - 70% Cocoa (Not Milk Chocolate)

• 2/3 cup Walnuts • 2/3 cup Pecans • 1/4 cup Cocoa * Optional • 1/2 cup Dates • 3 TBS Real Maple Syrup or Agave Nectar

• 3 TBS Coffee Liquor (optional)

– Blend all ingredients in hi-speed blender for crust.

• 2 TBS Real Maple Syrup or Agave Nectar

– Dump mixture in torte pan (no need to oil) and press it out to the edges with your hands.

– Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave and add the melted chocolate to all ingredients.

– Pour filling on top and spread to even thickness.

– Blend.

– Refrigerate for 24 hours.

feels as good as he did in highschool.

For many baby-boomers the Clinton Interview, was an Ah-Ha moment which caused many to atleast reconsider their biases on food and look at plant-based diets in a new light.

A recent book making in-roads to Mainstream America is the Engine2Diet, written by Rip Esselstyn who is the son of the Sr. Esselstyn.

Rip, who is a firefighter and triathlete, was prompted to write a book which stemmed from a friendly challenge at the firehouse when it was discovered one of their own had dangerously high cholesterol. They all agreed to follow Rips ‘plant-stong’ regimen for 28 days to help JR lower his cholesterol, and in the process every firefighter improved their health. As one firefighter said, “I feel like my whole system has been rebooted.”

Rip followed this up with a larger study of 65 people and the results were similar; improvements in health from cholesterol to weight loss. The Engine2 program proved that real people, and manly-men-firefighters with real health issues could take back their health following a whole-foods, plantstrong regimen. The Engine2 program has become a movement of sorts

– Top with fresh blueberries.

with 3-day immersions happening all over the country, a successful website and facebook page, and the recent partnership with Whole Foods who launched 28-Day Challenges in their stores and will be offering E2 food items on shelves later this year.

The book came at a time when the documentary Forks Over Knives was making it’s debut and Bill Clinton told the world he’d gone plant-based. The idea of food as medicine and it’s ability to reverse what many consider are the inevitable ailments of our American lifestyle is gaining momentum.

Here in Globe, I took the 28-challenge last September and have never looked back.

Healthy U, Continued on page 19

SUMMER 2012 Eat To Live, Continued from page 18 In just 28-days, I dropped my cholesterol from a high of 205 to 176 and lost 12 lbs. Since then, nearly eight months later, my cholesterol has dropped another 30 pts and I am now back at my highschool weight.

Something I never expected to see again.

Kelly Moss, who owns the Pickle Barrel Trading Post with husband Jim, was able to get off her reliance on statin drugs (lowers cholesterol) when she and Jim went E2 in May. She had dropped all medication before launching into their 28-Day Challenge and was overjoyed to find her cholesterol had dropped to 156 without any medications.

Her starting cholesterol number had been 252, and with medication had never dipped below 207. According to Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, anything under 150 is heartattack proof and she has no doubt she will achieve that in the near future.

Jim puts it this way, “Going to a plant-based, whole-foods diet is all about optimal nutrition.

We say, do the research! The ‘balanced diet’ most of us have come to accept as gospel raises serious nutritional concerns. Our attempts to ‘moderate’ were never very successful. Like the typical New Years Resolution, we drifted right back to our old eating patterns.

Toastmasters Are Back

You can’t blame a child for thinking that a toastmaster is someone particularly adept at browning bread. An adult might picture someone who finishes an impromptu wedding reception speech with a hearty “cheers!” or “salud!” as he raises his glass from the head table. Ask one of the 270,000 members of Toastmasters International, and they will tell you that a toastmaster is the person in charge of the proceedings of a public speaking event, namely, the weekly meeting of a local Toastmasters club.

For the past 90 years, the mission of Toastmasters has been to help its members learn the arts of speaking, listening, and thinking. Every local club aims to provide a supportive and positive learning environment in which each member has the opportunity to foster these arts, and develop oral communication and leadership skills in the process.

During the past year, Toastmasters has made a strong comeback in the Globe-Miami community.

The local club calls itself the Copper Talkers, and meets every Tuesday night at the Claypool United Methodist Church at 4391 U.S. Highway 60 in Claypool, beginning at 7 p.m. and ending a prompt 60 minutes later at 8 p.m.

The Copper Talkers are one of 13,000 Toastmaster clubs throughout the world, and the meeting structure is no different in Auckland, New Zealand than it is Claypool, Arizona. Weekly agendas are designed

as much around learning good time management, listening, working your creative mind, and having fun, as they are about giving formal speeches.

For most of us, public speaking is an intimidating business, and that’s exactly why Toastmasters is structured to allow everyone to steadily build confidence, through well-written manuals, practice, and a friendly audience of fellow Toastmasters who want you to succeed as much as you do yourself.

Toastmasters teaches you to express yourself clearly, confidently, and persuasively. You’ll learn how to formulate and succinctly express your ideas, growing more comfortable each week as you hone your skills.

The effectiveness and vibrancy of any club is directly related to its membership, and

that’s why everyone is invited to attend a meeting of the Copper Talkers Toastmasters club in GlobeMiami and discover what it’s all about. Guests are always welcome, or feel free to contact us to find out more about starting down the path to become the confident communicator you’ve always wanted to be.

Globe’s ‘worm man’ explains why worms are good for the soil, and the environment

By Jenn Walker

After 46 years of waking up at 5 a.m. to work in Arizona’s mines, Fred Jimenez had to decide what to do next. The Gila County native spent the ‘60s working at the Inspiration Copper mine in Miami, spent another 25 years working at the Cyprus mine in Tucson, and retired as senior supervisor from the Phelps Dodge mine in Globe in 2007. Upon retirement, he decided to commit to an entirely different line of work, work that involves worms and gardens.

Anyone who has spent substantial time in Globe has probably seen or heard of Jimenez, otherwise known as the ‘worm man’.

He spends Saturdays selling bags of worms and ‘worm hotels’ at the Globe farmers market, in addition to aloe vera plants and rain harvesting barrels. Other days he might be found at an elementary school, the San Carlos Native American reservation, or at his house, either gardening or teaching other people how to garden.

Jimenez became a certified master gardener through the University of Arizona extension center while he was finishing his mining career in 2004.

Now he is president of the Gila County Master Gardeners Association.

Though gardening is something he always wanted to do, he admits he wasn’t always good at it. Once, he thought water was all that plants needed. Now he knows better.

“I wouldn’t want to live on just water,” he points out.

As a master gardener, he has learned that good soil is everything, which is why he is a die-hard advocate of vermicomposting. In the same way

that a house requires a foundation, gardening requires worms, he says.

Worms are crucial because they feed on organic waste, like carrot bits, and produce a nutrient-rich compost of far better quality than any expensive fertilizer purchased on the market, he explains. This compost can then be used to nourish plants by applying it to the soil.

“The worms [are] nature’s way of making soil, so why not use the little guys?” he says. “It’s working smarter, not harder.”

Ecologically, it just makes sense, he adds. Each scrap a worm turns into compost means less waste going to a landfill.

Jimenez’ home is easily spotted driving down his block on the outskirts of Globe. Arizona Ash trees grow tall in his front yard. Echinacea thrives in a planter to the left of his driveway.

“My plants grow year around,” he says proudly.

His backyard is an oasis. Barn swallows dive through his yard as he leads the way to the patio, where he hosts a collection of lush, exotic potted plants. Butterflies flit from pot to pot.

He points out his Hawaiian plumeria, pineapple bushes, red ginger, aloe vera plants, jasmine, and birds-of-paradise.

Producing a front and backyard ornate as this has taken time; Jiminez has been gardening since he began the course at the extension center in 2004. If it weren’t for the worms, however, these plants

Worms, Continued on page 23

SUMMER 2012 Worms, Continued from page 22 would not be flourishing, he adds.

“Anybody can compost,” he says.

“Let the worms do the work.”

He spends about 30 minutes a week caring for the worms. He applies the rich compost they produce to the base of his plants as needed.

He stops at four tote bins in the shade, one stacked over the other. This is what he calls the ‘worm hotel’, where he keeps a steady supply of breeder worms. The top three contain red wigglers squirming through shredded paper and food scraps, which the worms eat and process into compost.

The top bin is mostly still white with shreds of paper. Jimenez pulls out the third bin to reveal dark brown compost, a sign that the worms’ work is almost complete. He alternates use of the bins whenever one of the batches of compost is ready.

As the worms produce moisture, it leaks downward to the bottom bin, creating liquid fertilizer, or compost tea. Every so often, he gives his plants a shot of the tea.

Once a week, Jimenez pulls out a bag from beneath his sink – where he and his wife put used coffee grounds, tea bags, potato peels, egg shells, bits of lettuce and apples – and dumps the contents into a blender with water. He pours this blended concoction into the bins, in addition to three other worm boxes around his backyard.

Handfuls of worms are spread throughout his front and backyard.

“There are worms everywhere,” he beams.

He suggests walking on the grass to feel the sinking of the worms and soil below.

In addition to breaking down waste, the worms aerate the soil, allowing water to seep through their tracks around the plants’ roots. Worms also neutralize the soil it if it’s too acidic or alkaline.

Thanks to Jimenez, worm enthusiasm is catching on in the region.

By the time this article comes out, he likely will have sold more than 94 of his handcrafted worm hotels in less than two years.

He recently sold numbers 93 and 94, in addition to five bags of worms, during his presentation on vermicomposting at the San Carlos Reservation.

He welcomes any opportunity to explain how extraordinary these underground creatures are.

They have a gizzard like a chicken and no eyes, he says, and they breathe through their skin. Two worms will reproduce, regardless of whether they are male or female, because they change sexes.

Even if he can’t seize someone’s fascination with worm facts, he nonetheless tries to set a good example. He keeps his home open to the community. Some people drop in to buy gardening supplies and worm hotels; others simply come looking for gardening tips or inspiration.

Meanwhile, he maintains a steady workload, whether he is transplanting plants or drilling holes into a worm hotel. Each day he starts around 8 in the morning and ends late into the afternoon.

It’s the same schedule he kept while working in the mines.

Telling Stories from San Carlos in the Digital Age

By Jenn Walker

Images appear on a screen as a recording of drums and a young girl’s voice penetrates the silence.

“On the mountaintop lies a sacred place to my Apache ancestors, the feeling of their body and mind getting lost in a vision of their own destiny, a feeling we no longer feel in this modern world,” she begins.

She dreams of the days of optimism and innocence, “where there was no such thing as sins or laws; every man, woman and child had peace in their soul.”

This video is the creation of Clarissa Logan, a teenager living on the San Carlos Apache Reservation.

That is her voice speaking, and the poem she is reading is her own. She created the images flashing on the screen.

In late June, 26 of these short videos were shown at a public screening in the San Carlos High auditorium, combined with an art show. Each short film was created by San Carlos high school and middle school students over the course of a four-week program, combining spoken word and visual art, such as paintings and photos, to tell a story. Some were about grandparents lost, some were about the beauty of the reservation, and some spoke of dreams for the future.

For many of these students, this is the first time their ‘voice’ has been heard or that they have received attention for a body of work. The auditorium was filled to capacity with students, families and members of the Globe community. This day is like graduation, Patricia Wyatt says.

Wyatt is the founder of the nonprofit organization MAX, or Media Art Xchanges, which runs the program to teach at-risk youth in various locations how to use digital technology for artistic self-expression.

“I know everyone just got an electric charge out of seeing these videos,” says John Tandy, MAX director of planning and development. “The kids got a great charge of affirmation from seeing the local community in Globe at their school to celebrate them, and certainly to celebrate their culture, in a really beautiful way.”

The MAX program exposes adolescents to a The same gang names and the same gang tags different medium in each week of the program, guided found in South Central are just as widespread around by teachers and media experts. At the end of the four San Carlos, she observed. weeks, the students produce a multimedia video It is common in our culture to lose faith in at-risk that displays their work, like the ones shown at San youth growing up in places like South Central and San Carlos High.

Carlos, because of the challenges they are up against, These student-produced videos will gain exposure Tandy says. As a result, he continues, many have far beyond the screening at San Carlos. On July resorted to the ‘oh well’ attitude, concluding that they 7, the nonprofit organization the Tiziano Project are a lost cause. launched a new storytelling platform online. Tiziano assists communities in conflict, post-conflict and underrepresented regions to tell their own stories, typically through journalism and documentary-style pieces. The platform, storiesfrom. us, will launch at DokuFest, an international documentary and short film festival in Kosovo. At that time, the student-produced work from San Carlos will showcase on the Members of the Tiziano Project headed by Jon Vidar, along with Max Media, Patricia Wyatt and John Tandy are shown here some of the students from the platform.

San Carlos became the focus of MAX and the “It is not hopeless, these kids are not hopeless,” Tiziano Project specifically because, as Tandy he says emphatically. “When you see what these kids says, “Native Americans are basically invisible in our can do, look, they’re just as smart and talented as any world.” kids anywhere.”

MAX seeks to change that by giving So how does exposure to digital technology and art underrepresented groups, like the youth of San bring hope to these adolescents?

Carlos, the tools to tell their own stories about their The arts and music, vital tools of self-expression, lives and culture, stories that the mainstream media are being eliminated from schools in Globe and neglects, Wyatt says. throughout the U.S. At the same time, students are losing interest in schools because, according to Wyatt, education hasn’t kept up with technology.

“The current educational model is based on the turn of the last century,” she says.

In response, MAX offers new media as a way to capture students’ interest. Providing students with digital cameras and video editing software not only inspires them to both artistically express themselves and build their technical skills, it also inspires teachers to find more modern, creative ways to teach, Wyatt explains.

For instance, why not create an assignment where students photograph things related to local history and use them in a presentation for a history class, Tandy says.

The fact that half of minority students currently One of the keys of MAX, Tandy explains, is to do not finish high school was a huge motivation for engage students. “You’re not going to win against this Wyatt to start MAX more than three years ago, she stuff,” he adds, holding up his smart phone. explains. At first she focused on implementing the The idea of MAX is catching on. This is the program in South Central Los Angeles, a hub of atsecond year that San Carlos school superintendent risk youth. What she soon realized, however, is that as Dr. Richard Wilde has invited MAX to the school the media has glamorized gangs in the inner cities, for the summer. that very gang culture has spread to remote areas like Telling Stories, Continued on page 25 San Carlos or the Navajo Nation.

SUMMER 2012 Telling Stories, Continued from page 24 There is a noticeable change in the students and the school since MAX visited last year, Tandy says. In the past the school has been recognized for its low test scores. Not only have test scores improved since then, but the students have a more cooperative spirit than before, he says.

The success of the program is what continues to bring MAX back. Wyatt, Tandy and their cohorts make the long trip to San Carlos from Los Angeles to spend a month teaching students these skills four hours a day.

“Speaking for myself, I look a little haggard here,” Tandy says with a laugh. “It’s exhausting but exhilarating, and really inspiring. These kids really inspire us.”

In the first week of the program, the students create street poetry, writing about themselves and their culture.

They are guided through the process by members of the nonprofit STREET POETS Inc., which works to rehabilitate youth through spoken word.

The students are also given African drumming lessons by members of the Rhythm Arts Alliance. Both groups are from Los Angeles. The energetic release becomes a powerful addition to their poetry recordings.

“A lot of the kids, we find… really dive pretty deep into their emotional core, and so the African drumming is a really great energetic balance to that,” Wyatt explains.

In the second week, the students

are recorded reading their poems. They are also taught visual arts, painting portraits, landscapes and collages under the supervision of Navajo artist Dennis Jeffy. Jeffy also teaches them how to create their own art supplies, making painting tools out of wooden skewers and sponges, the bristles of a broom or a Q-tip.

The third and fourth weeks are focused on digital media under the guidance of Tiziano.

Students are taught how to take digital photos, and then create a short montage of photos that visually tells the same story and has the same theme as the poem they wrote.

In the final week, the audio recordings, the paintings and the photos are combined into a multimedia video.

“The work ends up being very powerful, what they produce,” Tiziano cofounder Jon Vidar says.

“Without having to produce a three-minute journalistic piece, these pieces that combine the spoken word and images tell just as strong of a story about what life is like on the reservation and what life is like for these people.”

In the future, MAX hopes to expand the program to other locations

with at-risk and indigenous youth, in locations like New Orleans, Dallas-Fort Worth, New York and even New Zealand and Australia, eventually allowing students to have an online dialogue through the media they produce.

“There is a crisis in education,” Wyatt says. “This is just one person’s attempt to make it better.”

Let’s Go Down Photos and story by Andrea Marcanti

It’s that time of year again! For the next several months even folks who have lived in Southern Gila County where temperatures range on average, 10 degrees cooler than the valley, will admit: It’s Hot. Sizzling Hot! So, what are some of the COOL things you can do this summer? Get on a Lake!

A fleet of boats are fueled and waiting along the marina dock.

Renters can take advantage of 10 percent off discount by making reservations prior to their trip.

If the walk down to the Marina is too steep or just plain too hot a shuttle service can be called at the gate for easy access to the docks.

To The Lake!

Roosevelt Lake is just 35 miles southwest of GlobeMiami on Hwy 188 or 80 miles from the Valley via the Apache Trail (Hwy 88). Once the largest man-made lake in the world, it is still the biggest of (6) SRP lakes covering approximately 22,000 acres near the confluence of Tonto Creek and the Salt River. The lake offers something for everyone. For fishermen the lake is stocked with Bass, Trout, Crappie, Bluegill, Channel Catfish and Pan fish and there have been many record-setting catches at Roosevelt. Add to the fishing the ability to launch your sail boat, or power up your jet skis and water skis or kick back on a houseboat and you can see why Roosevelt Lake is one of the most popular water-based recreational areas in the State.

San Carlos Reservoir is located 35 miles southeast of Globe on the San Carlos Reservation which reportedly creates more productive fishingper-acre than any other southeast Arizona lake. (Lakesandreservoirs. com) Formed by the construction of Coolidge Dam, the reservoir took nearly 5 years to fill. Water levels can fluctuate greatly, so be sure to check lake levels before planning an outdoor outing or fishing expedition to the Reservoir. But when nearfull, it contains 158 miles of shoreline and covers nearly 20,000 acres. The Lake is stocked with Bass, Crappie, Catfish and Pan fish.

Campers can bring the dogs and watercrafts out to Cholla Bay for a good time in the sun. Tonto passes are required and campground fees apply.

Permits are $6 per vehicle and $4 per watercraft.
