Roy Santa Cruz Jr. passed away Feb. 15, 2013 at Banner Thunderbird in Glendale, Arizona. Roy was born in Globe March 23, 1925. He enjoyed a happy successful life in Superior where he went to school and worked as a cop per miner. He served with honor in the Navy during World War II and in the Army during the Korean War. Stories were retold of his adventures and acts of heroism during these years. He would often share the fact that he surged through fi ve invasions, having seen enough decimation that his children or grandchildren should never have go through.

During his career he represented the United Steel Workers of America as the Sub-District Director for the Western U.S. To be around Roy was to be infused with his passion for workers rights and the responsibility of political duty. He leaves his wife Francis Santa Cruz of 35 years. He bids farewell to his loving children, Ronald Gomez, Michael Roy Santa Cruz, Gilbert Steven Santa Cruz, Therese Santa Cruz, Camille Santa Cruz, Anthony Santa Cruz and Robin Stowe; stepchildren, Arthur Livario, Carla Stone, and Adrienne Valdez; sisters, Margaret Santa Cruz of Las Vegas, Roy Santa Cruz Jr.

Roy Santa Cruz Jr.March 23, 1925 - February 15, 2013

NV, and Anna Tiscareno of San Clemente, CA; 20 grandchildren, 41 great-grandchildren and two great-

great-grandchildren; and many cousins, nieces and nephews also survive Roy, as well as a step-grandson who is serving in the US Military in Afghanistan. He shared not only his presence, but his life experiences, personal convictions and hopes for a better world we live in. His passions for these were obvious to anyone who spent time with him. We cannot forget to mention his most loved companions, for over

15 years, his dogs, Ricky, Rocky and Rosie; his four-legged children. Roy was preceded in death by his parents, Roy and Esperanza Santa Cruz; sister, Avelia Rubio; brothers, Charles and Robert; and his fi rst wife, Jessie Santa Cruz. Services for Mr. Santa Cruz will be held Thursday, Feb. 21, 2013, at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church in Superior beginning with visitation from 9-10 a.m. The Rosary will be at 11 a.m.

and the Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 11 a.m. Interment will follow at Fairview Cemetery in Superior. A celebration of Roy’s life will be held after the interment at Los Hermanos Hall in Superior. Arrangements were entrusted to Superior Funeral Home. An online guestbook may be signed at www.SuperiorFuneral.com.

A Heartfelt Thank You from the Family ofAudrey Marie Mercado

The Mercado family gives their heartfelt thanks to the positively overwhelming outpouring of love, support, prayers, and tears offered by the Copper Basin

community at the time of the loss of our beautiful girl, Audrey Marie Mercado. Your shared grief and empathy are not only a source of healing comfort for us, but is also a wonderful tribute to the bright and loving nature of Audrey’s spirit on her brief journey through this life. Like you, we will always remember Audrey with a sparkling, genuine smile and a compassionate heart for a friend. Many of you shared her joys and her challenges and we hope that every one of you who ever offered Audrey your kindness and friendship will continue to be blessed in your own lives, as we go on without her physical presence.

So many people came from near and distant places that it would be impossible to thank you all as individuals. Our apologies for not being able to greet and visit with each of you as we would

have liked to. Nonetheless, we wish to extend our sincere gratitude to the following members of the local community for their help without which the crushing weight we’ve experienced for the past two weeks would not have been endurable:

Patsy Magdaleno, who handled details that we could not, and encouraged us to take care of the ones that we could. Richard Perez, whose kind heart and understanding maintained our physical and emotional

balance during our shock and heartbreak. Anna Bamber, whose friendship and assistance with Audrey’s memorial were as necessary as they were perfect. Pastor David Wade, whose guidance during our most difficult hour was perfectly befitting that of a kind and compassionate Shepherd. Jeremiah, Felicia, Rex, and Donna Gennicks, whose love and support for our Grandaughter Jocelyn has helped shape such a sweet young lady. Barbara Carrell, for being there for us and whose friendship and food made the thickest moments of despair much more comfortable. Alfred Denogean, whose spiritual fellowship has been a constant for Audrey and for our whole family. Also, Kimberly, Arturo, and Irene Denogean for being there for us in such a kind and gentle way. Words cannot sufficiently express our gratitude. Leo Mercado would like to give a special thank you to his friend Robert Glaspie, whose visit brought an unexpected opportunity for laughter on a day that he thought he would never smile again.

A special thanks to the staff of The Boyce Thompson Southwestern Arboretum for being extremely helpful in allowing our large extended family to celebrate Audrey’s life in such a beautiful location. Your kindness helped us

feel at home in a way that no other situation could have approached. We welcome all of Audrey’s friends to enjoy this special place whenever you want to experience the beauty of creation and visit with Audrey’s spirit at one of her most loved spots on earth.

A life fund will be established for Audrey’s three daughters in the very near future. Anyone wishing to contribute on Audrey’s behalf may contact Deana Mercado at [email protected] and she will keep you updated as how

to help.

We are very grateful for the supportive community that you are. No matter how far away from here that our life situations may take us, we will remember you all in our prayers and will always consider this area to be our home.

God bless you all.

Leonard, Raven, Deana, Aaron, Alise, Moses, and David Mercado

By Mila Besich-Lira On Feb. 14, LD-1Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick (D) and LD-4 Rep. Paul Gosar (R) introduced the Southeast Arizona Land Exchange and Conservation Act, H.R. 687. The bill would provide Resolution Copper the land that the company needs to further develop the mine while protecting over 5000 acres of high value conservations lands in Arizona. It is expected that Senators McCain and Kyle will also introduce the bill into the Senate. Arizona House Members

Matt Salmon (R, LD-5), David Schweikert (R, LD-6), and Trent Franks (R, LD-8) all supported the legislation as original co-sponsors. The four other democratic members of the Arizona Congressional delegation have not signed on to the bill at this time. The Resolution Copper Mine near Superior, Ariz., is one of the largest known undeveloped copper deposits in the world. The proposed land exchange would consolidate Resolution’s ownership of the land where the mine will be

developed and operate. In return, Resolution Copper would place high-quality conservation lands in Arizona currently owned by the company back into the public trust. Kirkpatrick said her vision for Arizona is a diversified and stable economy, arguing the Superior mine fits into that vision and is critical to the communities and constituents in her district. “It will provide jobs, economic development and a stronger foundation for their future,” Kirkpatrick said. “I am committed to using the

legislative process to advance this project and represent outstanding concerns, and I look forward to working with Congressman Gosar and the Arizona delegation to ensure the Superior Mine finally moves forward.” Gosar argued the project would create over 3,700 high-paying jobs, increase U.S. energy and mineral independence, and preserve some of rural Arizona’s most beautiful natural lands. “Even though this common sense proposal has overwhelming bipartisan support across

Bi-partisan Resolution Copper Land Exchange reintroduced

our state, it has been held up for years by trivial political bickering in Washington,” he said. “Those needless delays have cost hundreds of rural Arizonans their jobs.” The most recent version of the bill, introduced by Gosar last year, was defeated in the Senate before the holiday recess at the end of the 2012 session.“Congresswoman Kirkpatrick and I will build on last year’s successes in the House, work closely with Senators Flake and McCain in the Senate, and finally get this land

exchange across the finish line,” Gosar said. Bruce Richardson, spokesperson for Resolution Copper, said the project would equally benefit his company and the public. “These conservation lands were hand-picked with the help of conservation groups and federal and state agencies,” Richardson said. “This includes lands that would become part of the Las Cienegas National Conservation Area and the San Pedro Riparian National Conservation Area.” The Southeast Arizona

By Chase KampCopper Area News The recently announced formation of a new metropolitan planning organization (MPO) in Pinal County has prompted some towns to shuffl e their alliances. Still, local government leaders say the creation of the Sun Corridor Municipal Planning Organization will help to more closely defi ne the needs and goals of specifi c regions as they plan for the future. At a meeting of the Pinal Partnership organization on Jan. 18, 2013, three Pinal mayors and heads of the two major counsels of governments discussed why the Sun Corridor MPO had to form, which towns and entities are interested in joining and what it means for the region as a whole. MPOs serve to guide the transportation, environmental impact and other future issue planning for specifi c regions. The Sun Corridor MPO is being formed by the City of Casa Grande because the city reached beyond a 50,000 population threshold, explained Mayor Bob Jackson, a requirement of a new federal transportation law. Joining Casa Grande in this new organization are the cities of Eloy, Coolidge, San Tan Valley and most recently Florence, which announced a resolution to join on Jan. 22. Jackson said the scope of Central Arizona Association of Governments, or CAAG, had become stretched thin to accommodate the entirety of both Pinal and Gila counties. He said the new MPO would create an opportunity to focus on the needs of the immediate

Pinal Partnership examines new metropolitan planning organizationsurroundings of western Pinal. “I think what’s happened in western Pinal is that we no longer have the same issues that they have in eastern Pinal County and Gila County,” he said. In another big shift, the City of Maricopa recently voted to join the Maricopa Association of Governments, or MAG, though the city is located in Pinal County. Mayor Christian Price said it was not an easy decision, one that needed to be made in only two months and was not intended to disconnect from Pinal.

“In the end it comes down to what your residents identify with,” Price said, citing that 75 percent of the city’s residents work in Maricopa County. “Some said that if we joined MAG, we would be one of the little fi sh,” he said, but argued there were 16 cities smaller than Maricopa in the organization. Jackson said he recognized the pros and cons of Maricopa’s decision, but argued that having an ally in Maricopa County would lend itself to projects like the East-West corridor and I-11 project.

“Maricopa becomes our voice at that MAG meeting,” he said. However, CAAG is the group that takes a big hit, Jackson explained. About two-thirds of the

money CAG receives for transportation related to population would exit along with Maricopa and the Sun Corridor MPO members. Florence Mayor Tom

Rankin, who fought to keep Maricopa in CAAG, told the gathering that he would work with San Tan Valley to eventually incorporate and solidify

By Mila Besich-Lira On Saturday, hikers and those who enjoy the outdoors flocked to Superior to participate in the Legends of Superiors Trails Eco Tourism Festival. The festival featured eight different hikes, a history luncheon and the dedication of the Historic Pinal Cemetery. Hikers were able to take a guided hike to the Tunnel on the Canyon segment, the cross, Arnett creek, the Arizona Trail and there were also guided history, geology and photography walks. The Backcountry Horsemen of the East Valley attended the event and also rode their horsed to the tunnel. Hikers on the Arnett Creek walk were treated to the opportunity to seeing

Big Horn Sheep during their hike. This year, the history luncheon featured three segments ASU Geology Professor Dr. Steve Sempkin who spoke about the geological history of Superior. Sempkin explained how the ashes from volcanos millions of years ago formed the mountains surrounding Superior. Scott Wood, archeologist for the Tonto National Forest, spoke about the history of Pinal City and how the community grew and eventually died. David Lira, a native Superior resident and 47-year employee of BHP and Magma, spoke on the history of the mine and Superior. Lira was able to provide the timeline for

Guided hikes and history celebrate how the mine started and how the community of Superior grew around the mining operations. The afternoon hikers met much better weather conditions from the morning hikes. In the morning, the hikers at

the event met high winds which added challenges to some of the hikes. The afternoon ended with the LOST Committee, along with representatives from the Tonto National Forest, dedicating the Historic Pinal Cemetery.

For many years the historic cemetery was open on the forest and was becoming a target for vandals and abuse. With the partnership of the Pioneer Cemetery Association and the True West Magazine Foundation they were able to provide range fencing, entry gate, signage and gravemarker for Mattie Blaylock Earp. In his welcome address, Mayor Jayme Valenzuela thanked the partnership for helping to preserve a piece

of history. Attending the event was the Guzman family. Family matriarch Mary Guzman explained that the cemetery was an important place to their family as her they had a grandmother buried in the cemetery. Guzman spoke of the importance of preserving the cemetery. “I am so proud of my family for keeping the tradition of caring for her grave here and in our family at the cemetery in Superior,” she said.

The Panthers baseball team has high expectations for the 2013 season. Considering the 2012 team finished the season at 18-7, runners-up in their sections, and third-seeded in the state tournament, there is plenty of work to be done. Head Coach Billy Duarte acknowledges some key players from last season were lost to graduation but believes this season’s team has a couple of players who are more than capable replacements. He believes Mario Padilla and Louie Fuentes “may make some noise for all-section (and/or) all-division honors.”

According to Coach Duarte, Fuentes will play in the outfield and figures to be one of this year’s “best hitters.” Mario Padilla “plays wherever I need him and does an excellent job of doing so,” he said.

At the end of last season Coach Duarte felt the pitching staff was little banged up and the infielders were hurting. He believes those two areas are critical to having another successful season. “Staying healthy and [playing] solid defense” are keys to the 2013 season according to Coach Duarte. “Hopefully, we will have enough of a rotation to make sure

our arms and backs stay healthy,” he said. “[Throwing] strikes and plays on balls you should make plays on” are also necessary components.

The final roster will be determined after the Panthers participate in the Joe S. Padilla Tournament. No matter who is named to the team, Coach Duarte’s expectations remain the same. “On the field, I expect the students to work hard, do their best, and show respect to the game, themselves, and the other team,” he stated. “Off the field, we expect the (athletes) to be students first, show respect, and, of course, be examples

for the kids who someday want to be like them.” Considering Superior HS is a combined JR/SR High School, the High School student-athletes have a daily opportunity to be role models and impact younger student-athletes

in a positive way. The Panthers will

begin their season vs. Miami on February 20, 2013 at Superior High School. Game time is scheduled for 4 p.m. After their season opener, the Panthers will participate

in a six-team field at the Joe S. Padilla Tournament beginning on Feb. 27, 2013. Please check with Superior High School for the tournament location. Superior High School is located at 100 Mary Drive – Superior, AZ 85273.

testimony-(lies) and slander. These are what make a man unclean and impure. These make up the sinful nature of mankind. In order to not satisfy the desires of that nature, we must ask forgiveness for them and then live by the Spirit of God. By doing so, we will exhibit certain character qualities in our lives. Things such as: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. God doesn’t play games

with us. We will reap what we sow in our life. If someone desires to please his sinful nature, he will find only destruction and pain. The one who sows to please the Lord will find eternal life and great joy. We should not become weary in doing what God desires. We must make the most of every opportunity to do good to all people. Our lives will have meaning and purpose, bringing joy to others. We will honor God with our lives and bring His blessings into our life.

from school, got on the school bus and never came home. Feb. 9 Joseph Gilbert I. Hernandez, 26, Superior, was arrested on four failure to appear warrants. He was transported and booked into the Pinal County Jail. Information was sought by a resident in the 200 block of E. Donna Dr., Queen Valley, on mailing a gun to the residence. The person was told that federal law dictates that the firearm has to be disassembled to a point that a weapon could not be built from a single package (barrel, frame and slide in different packages). The person was then told to ship it via UPS for greater convenience. Feb. 11 A juvenile was reported as a runaway in the 900 block of S. El Camino Viejo, Queen Valley. Feb. 13 Theft of a vehicle was reported in the area of N. Silver King Mine Rd. and E. Apache Tear Rd., Superior. The vehicle was described as a champagne colored 2011 Buick Enclave.

Land Exchange and Conservation act has been introduced into Congress ten times over

the past eight years. Both Kirkpatrick and Gosar introduced land exchange bills during their previous terms in Congress. The project and the exchange continue to be opposed by the San Carlos

Apache Tribe and several environmental groups. Kirkpatrick said these groups should be part of the discussion. “I believe their voices should be heard during this process,” she said.
