Editor, Superior Sun:To the Person or Persons who took my son’s and friend’s music equipment: Not only did you take $5,000 worth of equipment, you took a part of healing process that my son has to endure since he was eight years old. You see my son has a bone weakening condition that prohibits him from participating in any strenuous physical activities. While you were either sitting in a jail cell or getting in some sort of trouble, my son was in surgery at one point or another. While you were wondering what other fast money making scam you could

pull on a Superior Community member, my son was enduring physical therapy to help him repair the bone weakening condition and learning to walk again after these surgeries. While you were running from police or going about your business, my son was sitting bound to having to be in a wheelchair for months and had major restrictions from his doctor. My son first picked up a guitar during these painful days and CHOSE to use music, not drugs or feel sorry for himself or nor blame others for what has going on with him, but to help himself get thru these tough times he has grown to love playing music.

Throughout the years, we (his parents/family) bought or loaned him this equipment as we saw that it built his self esteem, lifting his spirits while playing his guitars for functions such as the St. Francis Fiestas, and other local church functions. He and his friends have been invited to other church events out of town to represent Superior and they performed so well and were so proud of their community and still are…..you took everything on Jan. 31 for what he/they lived for. I ask and beg for the person that has information or details: PLEASE! PLEASE! Help me give my son back what

is rightfully his. This is his healing process. He still has a few surgeries ahead of him. The scenario of his condition, if you (suspect/s) have a conscience, is basically…would you hurt a child by denying them medication to heal for a very painful condition? Then, why did you take my son’s music? Please help us get all this equipment back, no questions asked…we will not prosecute…but if weeks, months go on with no details and you do not have the conscience to give this back, I will keep asking questions. I will continue to use all leads to give the police and

I will NEVER stop fighting for something that you had no right to take. His family and I will never give up on this theft and we do not fear asking anyone questions, or seeking that justice will be served if you do not take immediate action to at the most tell us what Pawn Shop we can go and possibly buy back this equipment. My son and friends were offered an opportunity to play for a local Christian Music festival to represent Superior. They were also offered another opportunity to play for local scouting talent. But they will have to cancel out on these opportunities, because they were cleaned out

of everything of what THEY worked for. You did not win, or should not boast that you heavily impacted this outcome. But if you have this equipment or playing your own gigs with stolen goods you should feel ashamed and saddened of how YOU are illegally using these items for your own opportunities. My son and friends are strong kids with positive family background, they will continue to hold future events, they just now know who they can trust. Any information or leads, please call the Superior PD silent witness information. Respectfully,/s/ Andrea Duarte-Kipp

Are you ready for a healthier life? Weight loss not only improves your quality of life, but also prevents or lowers your risk of developing diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, back and joint pain. You’ve probably tried to lose weight before, but gained it back. Studies have shown that patients on traditional weight loss programs lose weight, but often regain two-thirds of it within one year and almost all

of it within � ve years. � e LAP-BAND® System is an adjustable band that is placed around the top of your stomach laparoscopically (using a video camera and small incisions), reducing the stomach capacity and creating an earlier feeling of fullness. It is an e� ective and reversible surgical method for weight loss. It’s safer and less invasive than gastric bypass, as there is no stomach cutting or stapling. Dr. Werner Andrade is now o� ering this procedure at Cobre Valley Regional Medical Center.

If you send a bill and no one pays it, it is still real money? Such is a vital question before the Town as it pertains to long term unpaid sewer fees. Looking at the last six months of 2011, the Town overspent its budget by $45,000. To be fair, that number might change as the Town continues to reconcile the financial events of the past few years. The Council attended a Financial Workshop on Feb. 2, where Interim

Town Clerk Rita Wentzel presented the Town’s actual revenues and expenses over the last six months of 2011. The fiscal year for the Town of Superior is from July 1, 2011 through June 30, 2012. The Town collected roughly $1.8 million and spent roughly $1.7 million, both of which are half the annual amounts budgeted for Town’s fiscal year. Town revenues also include approximately $100,000 in uncollected

Council delves into murky Town finances sewer fees. Once the uncollected amount is deducted, revenue can be restated as $1,701,754. Town expenses are $1,746,699. The resulting math has the Town overspending by $44,945. The question before the town regarding sewer fees is can uncollected fees rolled over year after year still be counted on to ever come into the Treasury? For purposes of examining financial reality, these fees have been deducted from Town revenues in the Superior Sun’s analysis of the information provided. Examining the individual town departments, Police, Administration and Highway Users Fund had the largest deficits at $74,916, $27,824 and $22,883 respectively. The top three departments which had not exceeded their budgets were Sewer, Senior and Refuse. The

amounts left over are $84,559 (once $100,000 is removed as uncollected), $52,629 and $17,580 respectively. The financial information provides no insight into exactly what funding sources (local, grants, State or Federal) were used to meet some of the Town’s expenses nor a breakdown of how the funding sources were applied. Independent full fiscal year audits are the best way to determine the true nature of a Town’s finances and spending. Such audits are underway, however, by press time the Superior Sun did not know the name of the agency. During the regular Council meeting, Wentzel indicated that Resolution Copper provided $100,000 in funding. That money was used to pay outstanding expenses from July 1, 2011 through mid September 2011, outstanding payroll

taxes, employee health and retirement benefits. The Town used $54,000 in CAP (Central Arizona Project) funding to fulfill a commitment on the Magma Club in order for it to receive grant monies, to pay a portion of the bill to Republic Service (garbage pickup), to pay all of the October 2011 through half of the November 2011 outstanding expenses and to pay the Blue Cross/ Blue Shield employee benefits. The outstanding expenses from the remainder of November 2011 through the end of December 2011 are still awaiting payment. Wentzel outlined the definition of a Contingency Fund for Council and how to use Contingency funding. A Contingency Fund must have money reserved in a savings account, and can provide funds not budgeted, if a need arises. The Council

can authorize the utilization of funds in the account, if the item is on the Agenda. Wentzel added that the Finance Department can bring items to the Council for inclusion on the Agenda. Council can then decide to put an item into the budget, or choose to utilize Contingency funding. A more detailed report on Town finances is being developed using Town documents available to the Public through the Freedom of Information Act. The report will be published in a future edition of the Superior Sun. The Town is currently processing the request. Attending the Financial Workshop were Mayor Jayme Valenzuela and Council Members Hank Gutierrez, Chris Tomerlin, Olga Lopez, John Tameron, Soyla “Kiki” Peralta and Gilbert Aguilar.

By Betsy Quinn An update on the Magma Club CAAG Regional Council Meeting and the Home Tour Weekend in-dicates positive feedback and possible interest in using the Club for future meetings and events, it was announced at a recent Supe-rior Town Council meeting. In spite of some diffi cul-ties with sewer, plumbing and lighting issues, the events are considered a good trial run by Council. The hard work of Town em-ployees and volunteers over the course of the events was noted. Leslie Martin, President of the of the Superior Chamber of Commerce expressed thanks to the

Mayor and Council for their help during the Home Tour Weekend. Martin says that there were in excess of 800 people who attended the Tour. Yvette Gonzales, Adrian Hernandez and Cathy Denogean addressed the Council announcing the Third Annual Cancer Walk taking place on March 3 at 6 p.m. starting at the top of Sunset Street following a route to the Superior High School football fi eld and the main event. There will be a guest speaker, T-shirts and luminaries signifying Can-cer survivors by name are available for sale. Thanks was expressed to Resolution Copper for providing much the Ur-

Council considers recent use of Magma Club a great trial rungent Needs Funding of $100,000. The funds were immediately applied to town fi nances. Interim Town Clerk Rita Wentzel told Council Mem-bers that the Town received 21 applicants for the posted Administrative Assistant position and that typing and 10 key testing will be done at the Library. The next step, she said, is to evaluate results and then begin inter-viewing. Wentzel indicated that the process should be complete at the end of the week of February 6 . The position will be a part time job to start out, and may become full time later on. Wentzel also noted that the position of Finance Clerk will also be posted through Feb. 17, 2012. The approval or rejection recommendation for the re-newal of the Class 6 liquor License for My Friend’s Tavern at 695 West Main Street will appear on the March 1, 2012 Agenda after the 20 business day posting requirement is met. Work on the Transfer Sta-tion Proposals is in progress and will be reported in the future. Mila Lira will attend the

Celebrate Arizona’s Trails Festival on Feb. 4 on behalf of the Legends of Superior Lost Trail. Jed Lantz reported on a sewer overfl ow that was due to a missing manhole cover and told Council that the overfl ow had been cleaned up and treated with granulated chlorine and ADEQ will be notifi ed by the 30 day deadline. Mayor Jayme Valenzuela noted that his attention was called to another area where a manhole cover is missing as well. Council directed Public Works Director Jed Lantz to look into the costs

of replacement manhole covers and the cost of video scoping and cleaning the Magma Club sewer line. Lantz was also asked to develop a plan of action on items needing to be ad-dressed at the Magma Club. Councilman John Tameron asked that the Sewer repairs and a sturdy handrails be placed top of the list. Rita Wentzel advised that fund-ing will have to come from a source other than grant funding, which is already spent. Lantz also said he is proud of his crew and thanked them for working weekends and extras hours.

The Fire Department was also acknowledged for tak-ing time to wear different hats and help with clean-ups. The Mayor also directed staff to look into putting Planning and Zoning and Animal Control informa-tion on the Town website for public information pur-poses. Soyla “KiKi” Peralta and Hank Guteirrez spoke about parking issues on Main Street. As Main Street progresses, parking is an-ticipated to be an issue. The suggestion was to think

By Mila Lira John F. Kennedy Elementary and Superior Junior High recently completed their yearly district spelling bee. The top three spellers from the district will advance to the Pinal County Spelling Bee which is scheduled for Feb. 17 in Casa Grande. Fourth grader Queenie Hing won the district champion but decided not to advance to the County Bee. The second and third place spellers are Andy Tomerlin (seventh grade), and Graciella Medina (fourth grade). With the

resignation of Queenie Hing this allowed the fourth ranked speller Jose Lira (eighth grade) to advance to the county bee. Overall there were 19 students who competed in the John F. Kennedy spelling bee of those 19 students the top 10 spellers advanced to the district bee to compete against 13 junior high students in the district spelling bee. John F.

By Betsy Quinn During the initial public comment call at the Feb. 1 Superior School Board meeting, the outstanding performance and accomplishments of JFK students at January’s SUSD Spelling Bee were acknowledged. Board member Cindy Benson noted that “the kids did really well” and that she was “very pleased” especially in light of the diffi cult words being presented in the competition. There were 19 participants including the top 10 spellers from JFK Elementary, as well as the top spellers from Superior Junior High School. First place winner, Queenie Hing, and second place winner, Andy Tomerlin, will be representing the SUSD in the upcoming county spelling bee. (Editor’s note: the Superior Sun received information after the meeting that Queenie Hing withdrew from the county competition. Superior will be represented by Andy Tomerlin (seventh grade), Graciella Medina (fourth grade) and Jose Lira (eighth grade).) Benson also spoke about growing safety concerns relating to the two front gates into the JFK elementary and preschool area in front of JFK elementary school. The gates are located directly in front of the building, providing direct public access to the school. One gate is the main pubic access and the other is offset to the east for handicapped ramp access. Benson says both gates

are often left open as the public comes and goes. The concern is that either of these gates left open could result in tragedy. The preschool children have direct access to both gates and could wander out of their designated area and into harms way. Benson requests future discussion of solutions, including adding signs instructing anyone entering or leaving to close the gate. Benson wants to raise public awareness about the safety risks of leaving either gate open during the school day. The matter will be addressed on a future agenda.� Board member Nancy Valenzuela thanked the SUSD for affording her the opportunity to attend a three day ASBA conference. The Arizona School Boards Association (ASBA) promotes community volunteer governance of public education and continuous improvement of student success by providing training, leadership and assistance to public school governing boards. Valenzuela added that ‘it is our responsibility to give our students the best education possible’ and ‘educating ourselves by attending ASBA conferences is a legitimate way to do that.’ The conference topics included providing gifted students educational opportunities and increasing achievement with a limited budget. Concerning the Junior and Senior baseball/softball program, Athletic Director Billy Duarte advised the Board to be

School Board recognizes accomplishments of spelling bee winnersaware that the spring schedule will change right up to the fi rst game and the schedule will be provided as soon as it is fi nalized. Duarte also said chances are good for seventh and eighth grade girls and boys basketball teams to go to the CJHL Tournament. Business Manager Pam Duarte advised the Board that all M&O ( maintenance and operations or capital outlays) except employee benefi ts have been encumbered. Duarte says the Soft Capital and Capitol Outlays should be fi ne unless there are major unseen catastrophes. Duarte also reported that spending is being kept down and hopes for some carryover funds at the end of the fi scal year. Food service reports were good. Discussion centered on an effi cient ways of notifying parents when funds for lunches have fallen behind. Supervisor for Food Services Melissa Perez saidthat regular monthly notices are sent out by letter when balances exceed $10. Perez added that while parents can pay ahead they have also always been able to charge lunches. Benson said an offi cial in the Superintendent’s offi ce last week advised that guidelines are changing. Benson added a letter from the Superintendent’s Offi ce indicates that all school lunch accounts start with a zero balance next year. The letter advises schools that the change is not immediate. However, schools need to work on bringing school lunch

charging current this year, transitioning gradually to eliminating the charging of lunches. There are 437 students in the school lunch program from Kennedy Elementary and the Junior and Senior High. 333 students qualify for free lunches, 49 receive a reduced price lunch, and 55 are full pay for lunches. As of May 1, 2011 the SUSD requires all students with an overdue balance be served a peanut butter and jelly or cheese sandwich and milk. The SUSD also mandates that no student may have a negative balance over $10. Perez indicated that the policies have not been enforced to date. The Board thanked Perez for her efforts to bring accounts current. The Board will work on a more effi cient system to transition smoothly to meeting the requirement. The goal is to start the next school year with zero balance lunch accounts and discontinue the practice of charging lunches. The Board plans on reviewing all policies in order to be up to date with laws that have changed. The School Board approved paying registration fees of $100 each for Coaches Ryan Palmer, Andy Blaine and Luis Navarro. The three will attend a ‘Coach of the Year Football Clinic’ on Feb. 17-19 in Las Vegas. The coaches will be responsible for their own travel, hotel and personal expenses. Pete Guzman highly recommended approval saying this is a good clinic which is highly affordable. Athletic

Director Billy Duarte says the some of the topics covered are concussions, standards and hydration. Principal Pete Guzman spoke about the ramada to be built in the preschool area. A special meeting on Friday, Feb. 3, was held in order to put the plan on a

future agenda. Following an Executive session the Board reconvened and approved an agenda item to conduct a student disciplinary hearing request for re-entry concerning Relief Special Services Aide April Lira.

about existing property and future properties on and off Main Street that could be suitable for public parking. Local resident Brenda Farthing addressed Council during Public Comments concerning an incident which a complaint against the Superior Police Depart-ment has been filed. The complaint alleges a girl was roughed up by officers re-sponding to an altercation. Chief Lou Digirolamo told Council the incident is be-ing investigated. Digirola-mo say his Department will take appropriate actions if the complaint is determined to have foundation. Bruce Richards of Reso-lution Copper addressed Council requesting an up-dated letter of support from the Mayor and Council for the Southeast Arizona Land Exchange and Conserva-tion Act and the Resolu-tion Copper project. The Resolution Copper Land Swap is coming before a full Senate Committee on Thursday, Feb. 9 at 9:30 a.m. in Washington D.C. Richard says it is now an hour of need for Resolu-tion Copper and the letter is important to show support for the project here in this community and throughout Arizona. Resolution Copper intends to submit the letter as part of testimony to the Senate Committee on En-ergy and Natural Resources. Richards added that Resolu-tion Copper will try to set up streaming video on the Web at their office on Main Street in Superior for those who want to stop by. Henry Munoz and Roy Chavez both took the op-portunity to express their concerns for the commu-nity and environment as a whole. Both men say they are not opposed to the proj-ect. Munoz is concerned about the available water supply in the future citing recent water issues concern-ing uranium contamination in the Grand Canyon and with Florence water sup-plies. Munoz told the Coun-cil that ‘you must secure

your water supply.’Munoz pointed out that in addition Mr. Rucus said there would never be mining visible on the west side of Superior. Munoz says that Ray Road has stockpiles visible on the west side. Roy Chavez says he is planning on going to Washington, D.C. next Thursday to voice concerns he believes are not being addressed prior to the Land Exchange. Chavez says that residents of Superior want good jobs, but that the people of Arizona also want Eco-tourism through hiking trails, camping and biking, Chavez says that Oak Flats has some of the most pris-tine land in Arizona. Richards told Council that in addition the fair amount of work and jobs created the concerns of Chavez and Munoz are being addressed. Richards says Resolution Copper understands the expectations that the proj-ect and land go through a full environmental study, complying with all other water, cultural and histori-cal site concerns. Richard encouraged the Council to add those expectations to the letter of support being requested. Gilbert Aguilar proposed discussion of an amendment to put language detailing the requirement of a N.E.P.A. study, addressing water supply issues, and the Economic and Eco-Tourism Impacts. No amendment was added. Council then voted 3 to 1 in favor of the Letter of Support. Members Gutier-rez, Tomerlin and Lopez recused themselves from voting due to conflict of in-terest. Chris Tameron voted no. Mayor Jayme Valen-zuela, Gilbert Aguilar, and Soyla Lopez voted yes. Council then directed the town staff to work with Wentzel to compose the let-ter and submit it for review to the town attorneys. “Mining is here to stay,” Valenzuela said. “I sup-ported this project when I ran for office We look for-ward to working with you to address N.E.P.A., water, and other environmental issues.”

QUEEN VALLEY – Pinal County Animal Care and Control offi cers and Sheriff’s deputies served a search warrant on a home in Queen Valley Friday morning. By the afternoon, 59 cats and one dog were removed from the residence. Queen Valley is located fi ve miles north of Highway 60, west of the Town of Superior. “What was very shocking is that we found nine carcasses of deceased cats inside the home,” Animal Care and Control Director Kaye Dickson said. “We were not expecting to see that.” Before Animal Care and Control offi cers were able to enter the home, a male resident was arrested by

Sheriff’s deputies after making threats to law enforcement and animal control offi cers. Sergeant Lonnie Buckels, a 20-year veteran of the Pinal County Sheriff’s Offi ce, said this was one of the worst cases of animal hoarding he has seen in his career. “We exhausted all means of resolving the situation immediately with the residents,” Director Dickson said. “We were hoping they would surrender the animals voluntarily, but we ended up having to get a judge to serve a search warrant.” Animal Care and Control offi cers said the inside of the residence was fi lled with feces and smelled strongly of cat urine. A

trailer located on the property was also fi lled with fecal matter and in poor condition. Offi cials from Pinal County’s Risk Management and Environmental Health were on hand to assist offi cers and to further examine the residence out of concern for the safety of the residents. The animals will be kept at Animal Care and Control’s shelter on Eleven Mile Corner Road where they will be examined by a veterinarian. Many of the cats are believed to be in poor physical condition with disease or illness likely in some. How many and whether the cats will be available for adoption will be determined in the next few weeks.

This case comes in the same week as Animal Care and Control offi cers are investigating another hoarding case. In that instance of hoarding, 93 dogs were removed from a double wide trailer in the Hidden Valley area. Once this investigation is complete, evidence and vet reports will be forwarded to the County Attorney’s Offi ce for possible criminal charges. If the County Attorney’s Offi ce declines to press charges, Animal Care and Control can pursue civil and administrative charges. Shelter hours for the month of February will be from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. The adoption offi ces will be closed on Saturdays in February.

By Rev. Dennis Van GorpFamily Life Christian Center Colossians 3 instructs us in how to live a holy life. There are rules that must be observed or it just won’t happen. By themselves, they aren’t that hard to obey; but old habits die hard and that can affect the outcome. As a Christian, we are to live by a higher standard than we previously did. It is not up to us to decide what the rules are. A few thousand years ago, God

wrote them down in His Book, the Bible. The basics can be found in Exodus 20, called, the Ten Commandments. We begin with the mind and the heart: “Set your mind and heart on things above, not on the earthly things.” You have a new life now. Christ Jesus is now the center focus of your life. Those activities that ignored or denied God and His Word, are no longer valid or allowed to control what you do or say. That is easier said

than done as seen in verses 5, 8 and 9. Here is a list of things God considers improper for those who claim Him as their Lord and Savior. These earthly things are: immorality, lust, wrong desires, greed, idolatry, anger, rage, malice, slander and fi lthy language. Since most of these are long standing problems, they will take a while to end. We are to replace those things with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, patience, forgiveness and love.

We are to study and learn God’s Word so that it fi lls our hearts and minds. We are to spend time with the Lord, worshipping and adoring Him, letting His love fi ll us to overfl owing. We are to learn a new lifestyle. One that is acceptable to Him, one that allows us to grow and mature spiritually. In this way, everything we do and say will honor and glorify our Lord. When He is pleased with us, He blesses us and helps us to live a better and holy lifestyle.
