Sometimes it’s easy to be green ...In the early hours of the morning, Saturday, June 18, Lucy Wing of the Jade Grill in Superior held her fi rst GreenMarket. She explained that she wanted to do something for the community and involve the Chamber of Commerce. Known for growing much of her own produce and prizing the ingredients she lovingly puts into her incredible food, Lucy said she was reminded of the beautiful Greenmarket that takes place annually in Union Square in New York City and that she wanted to be able to create a similar experience for the residents of Superior. The Greenmarket of Union Square has been in operation every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday since 1976 and now hosts, during peak season, more than 140 bakers, farmers and fi sherman who gather to sell their goods to the public. Obviously, Superior is not the size that it could expect 140 different vendors to show up, but how cool would that be? With the changing season, the bounty is different every time the Greenmarket is held. Lucy plans to host her Greenmarket the third Saturday of each month with the next being July 16 and following this, Aug. 20. She wanted to allow for the residents of Superior to have a place to come a sell their plants, produce and goods. There was a beautiful array of pineapple salsas, hot salsas, baked goods, cactus jelly, tomato plants, mint, jalapenos, strawberry plants, and Chia waters. This Greenmarket is sure to catch on. For more information on the Superior Greenmarket, the goods allowed for sale, restrictions, etc. please contact Lucy Wing at Jade Grill at 520-689-2885. (Pete Casillas photo)

FLORENCE – Due to the extreme fi re risk and the fact that nearly one million acres have already burned in parts of Arizona, the Pinal County Board of Supervisors today enacted a ban on the use of consumer fi reworks. While Arizona Revised Statutes 36-1606 made it possible for people to purchase consumer fi reworks, the statute also allows counties to ban the use of fi reworks if a “reasonable risk of wildfi res” exists. While it is not against the law to purchase fi reworks, discharging them in unincorporated Pinal County is against the law while the ban is in effect. The Board can lift the ban in the future when the risk has subsided due to increased rains. This ban pertains to consumer fi reworks in all of unincorporated Pinal County. Residents within Pinal County’s incorporated communities should check

with their local city or town before including fi reworks in their celebrations. Similar bans are in effect in other jurisdictions including Maricopa County, Pima County, Coconino County, Cochise County, State Trust Lands and the Bureau of Land Management. The ban does not affect or cancel commercial fi reworks displays. Community fi reworks shows are likely to still take place, albeit with heightened care. According to data tracked by the National Interagency Fire Center, wildfi res have claimed more than 3.1 million acres in the United States since the start of the year. A total of 3.2 million acres were lost to wildfi res last year – for the whole year. A CNN report indicates that the number of acres burned thus far in 2011 is three times the 10-year average. “We have dispatched Pinal

County employees to assist with the Wallow Fire and Monument Fires,” Supervisor David Snider said. “We have been fortunate to have no loss of life but the property loss is incredible. We cannot afford to take the chance and add to the strain on our fi refi ghting resources.” “I support this action due to the tremendous risk our state is facing. Some of the most beautiful terrain in Arizona has burned. Extreme fi re risk coupled with no rain is already a recipe for disaster. We cannot add fi reworks to the mix,” Vice Chairman Bryan Martyn said. “These fi res are making a bad situation worse. The cost to fi ght wildland fi res is phenomenal and we’re under intense fi nancial strain as it is. When the rains come and the risk subsides, we can look at lifting the ban,” Chairman Pete Rios said after the meeting.

Use of fi reworks banned in unincorporated Pinal County, most public lands

By Mila Lira This week Copper is currently being traded at $4.11 a pound and is holding steady. This price refl ects a four cent increase from the reported settle price of $4.07. ASARCO ASARCO LLC announced today that a two-year extension of its labor contract covering some 2,100 employees was ratifi ed last week by the union members at fi ve Asarco operating facilities located in Arizona and Texas. The extension will be effective through June 30, 2013. “We are pleased that an

agreement was reached prior to expiration of the current collective bargaining agreement,” said Manuel Ramos, Asarco’s President and COO. “This will allow the company to maintain its copper production and satisfy customer needs without interruption.” “The extension of the existing labor contract is mutually benefi cial, and was accomplished in a short period of time because of the commitment to bargaining, and the respect and positive attitude of the parties in the negotiations” said Jorge Lazalde, Asarco’s Executive Vice

President.Copper Creek RedHawk recently published the results of their drilling of the Copper Creek Mine area. They are reporting the results of the completed exploration drill holes, they believe that a very large porphyry copper/molybdenum mineralization system is present in the Copper Creek District. The horizontal footprint of the current porphyry resource is approximately 5,000 feet (1,524 m) in a NW-SE direction. R. Joe Sandberg, Redhawk’s President & CEO, stated “Our

geologic group is very pleased with the 2010 district exploration drill program. We believe that the area of high potential for discovery of additional porphyry copper/molybdenum deposits within our property holdings is now at least 5 km by 3 km and continuing work may further increase this area. Redhawk’s 2011 drilling program has had a very successful beginning and will continue to explore the high potential areas of the property and continue with the resource upgrade and expansion announced earlier this year.”

Gold Hawk – Oracle Ridge Gold Hawk Resources Inc. recently announced retirement of its Chief Executive Offi cer, Kevin Drover, from the Company and the Board, effective June 30, 2011.

By Taylor Sheaffer Ritter There has been much grumbling in town regarding certain illegal activities taking place whether it be robberies, drugs, illicit activities, etc. The grumblings have reached the level where they have been heard by the Superior Town Council who reacted by extensively questioning the Chief of Police, Lou Digirolamo, about the policy concerning obtaining a search warrant at the recent town meeting. It is entirely understandable that if something seems completely obvious to you that it would be also as obvious to the police and should that not be enough to take someone in and arrest them over such an offense? Police, though, are bound by law and must go through the process to obtain a search warrant. The Mayor and several council members

brought up points of reference which they felt were probable cause, such as “several cars stopping for only a few minutes at all hours of the night” and such. Well, there is a lot that the lay person won’t necessarily know about police work; most of us can reasonably say that we do not understand the inner workings of police work. Police work, if one can hazard a guess, is a fair bit more complicated that most jobs or at the very least, on the same level of complication as some highly complicated jobs, specifi cally because on a daily basis police work deals with a person’s individual rights as laid out by the Constitution. The Constitution was written to protect a citizen’s rights and is considered the supreme law of the United States of America; thus is would make sense for the police to have to abide by its rules as the framework for the relationship between the federal government,

the states and the citizens within. So consider the idea that several car stop at one spot at all hours of the night for only a few minutes…if this was used as the only criteria for obtaining a search warrant it would be violating a person’s Fourth Amendment rights which guard against unreasonable searches and seizures. The Fourth Amendment also dictates that any warrants obtained must be judicially sanctioned and supported with probable cause. Yes, it is easily understood why you would believe the aforementioned visual clues to be evidence enough to be probable cause, but consider several possible misconstrued scenarios. Scenario One: the individual happens to own a business, operated from their home, where they sell items via E-Bay for others on a commission. The client calls the business owner and arranges the item’s base auction price via phone, obtains their address and

then stops by for a few minutes to drop off the item. The item sells and is shipped off and the client returns to the house for another few minutes to receive their payment of the item. Depending on how well business is doing, this could explain why several cars stopping by the house at all hours for a few minutes. Scenario Two: An individual sells Mary Kay/Pampered Chef/Amway/Arbonne from their home, the majority of their clientele call them over the phone and set up orders they have chosen from the website or catalogue and then come by for a few minutes to pay for and pick up their order. Sometimes if you are working from home, you need to be available at all hours. Scenario Three: The individual take photos for passports/work documentation/press passes/whatever for a living and has their studio set up in their living room; it takes mere minutes to snap a photo, the client drops

by, the photo is taken in a few minutes, they leave, the photo is processed and a few days later they return to pay for a pick up their items. Yes, it would be incredible to assume that any of these scenarios would entertain clients at 3 a.m., but you never know, maybe the person has insomnia and is willing to work that late; maybe they need the money that badly, who knows? The point is, if the police were able to obtain

Sheriff’s Report

Superior Police Report

FLORENCE – Pinal County Public Health serves as the issuing party for birth certifi cates for anyone born in Arizona and death certifi cates for deaths that occur within the county. Pinal County and the Arizona Offi ce of Vital Records have had the same fee schedule since 2002. With the passage of Senate Bill 1612, which was signed into law by the Governor, a statewide fee increase was approved. Effective July 1, the amount charged for birth and death certifi cates issued by Pinal County will change as follows:• Certifi ed copy of birth or death certifi cates was $10, will be $20 after July 1• Amendments/corrections/establishment of paternity on birth certifi cates was $23, will be $30 after July 1• Amendments/corrections on death certifi cates was $23, will be $30 after July 1• Non-certifi ed copies of birth or death certifi cates was $3, will be $5 after July 1 The fee for amendments and corrections for birth or death certifi cates includes one certifi ed copy of the amended certifi cate. Any requests for birth or death certifi cates that are received prior to July 1 will be fulfi lled at the existing rates. “If someone anticipates a need for a birth or death certifi cate for any purpose, we recommend fi ling now,” said Tom Schryer, Director of Public Health. “We anticipate an increased volume of requests between now and July 1.” Arizona is a closed records state, meaning that you have to meet certain criteria to obtain birth and death certifi cates. To learn more about ordering vital records, call 1-800-231-8499 or view general information at http://bit.ly/kSUqm5. Information specifi c to birth certifi cates is posted at http://bit.ly/kCWlWY.

By Taylor Sheaffer Ritter Does John Tameron really need an introduction? No, of course not! Yet, this is ‘me’ assuming that everyone has had a similar experience to my own with this delightful fellow and as a journalist, I must not make assumptions. However, what I can do is tell you what my experience has been thus far, hopefully prompting you to want to have your own, if you have not been blessed by one already. You know, this is my M.O.; I experience a person/place/thing and then let you know what it was like…and if I do a swell job describing said experience, you might just go have one yourself. In a way, politicians and I have a somewhat similar job, only in reverse. I take a belief and broadcast it out to many, in the hopes that it will ignite some response or action. A politician, in theory, listens to the concerns/responses/beliefs/desires/complaints of many and then is supposed to represent the majority of this conveyed view in whatever arena he or she is elected to. I’ve met a few politicians in my day (here you all laugh thinking ‘yeah, you’re 28 years old, how many could you really have met?’), the majority of which are full of fl uff, pomp and circumstance, who very happily will tell you what you want to hear and John Tameron

Taylor’s Take: Introducing Superior Councilman John Tameronthen wander on to the next dutiful discussion they need to have. John is not this type of politician. I call him John, because he is John…I’ve never felt that I needed the formalities with him or ever felt reserve in speaking with him at all. I truly believe that he is genuinely interested in what is good for the community and how he [personally] can help others. Here’s the low down on John Tameron, aside from running his own fl ourishing business, thus helping the community through tax dollars, employment and commerce, he is the Vice President of the Superior Chamber of Commerce and, along with his beautiful wife Bharati, can be routinely found volunteering their time at various events within the community. He generously donates to, frankly, too many local causes to list them all…but to list a few: the Superior Little League, the Superior High School Robotics Club, The Chamber of Commerce, etc. My parents taught me at a very young age that actions speak volumes more than the words that actually come out of a person’s mouth. John, to my knowledge, has done everything he said he would and then he does more. As I write this I realize that there are projects which I have talked about that I need to fi nish; yes, Life gets hectic, but John is great example of how it can be done, of how anything can be accomplished if you put your heart into it. He is an incredibly generous spirit, so giving with his time, energy and (yes, I am going to say it) funds. Each of these is signifi cant, very selfl ess, but I look at the last, in this economy,

and think ‘Wow, everyone is cinching up their billfolds and yet this man still understands that there are others who are less fortunate’ and I have to say, that is pretty cool. I have known John for right around a year, but on a better level for about nine months. I was just getting to know him when he found out I was getting married and without a moment’s hesitation he extended his help, in any way, if I needed it. From working with him on various committees, I can tell you wholeheartedly that he is an honest, good man, who does his research before he makes a decision and once committing to be involved in something,

fully immerses himself to make sure it reaches its potential. I get the feeling that many of you already know this about him since he received the most votes during the primary election. However, if you don’t know anything about John Tameron, please know that if you have a concern, response, belief, desire or complaint (or anything else for that matter) you can bring it to him. He is very approachable, very humble and decidedly intelligent; he will listen with respect and compassion and will act in what he understands to be the best interests of the community. If I can promise you nothing else, I can promise you that.

In developing new drinking water standards, the EPA has proposed including Radon on the regulated contaminant list with an MCL of 300 to 4000 pCi/L. Arizona Water Company collected a sample at one of its wells in the Superior water system in 1999 and found the level of Radon to be 340 pCi/L. Additional information on Radon is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791).

While your drinking water complies with EPA's standard for arsenic, it does contain low levels of arsenic. EPA's standard balances the current understanding of arsenic's possible health effects against the costs of removing arsenic from drinking water. EPA continues to research the health effects of low levels of arsenic, which is a mineral known to cause cancer in humans at high concentrations and is linked to other heath effects such as skin damage and circulatory problems.

Note: Data presented are from the most recent testing done in accordance with applicable regulations. Some constituents are monitored less frequently than once a year because either their concentrations do not change frequently or they are not likely to be detected. Therefore, some of the water quality testing data contained herein, although representative, may be more than one year old. If you have questions about this water quality report please contact Regina Lynde, Environmental Compliance Supervisor, Arizona Water Company, P. O. Box 29006, Phoenix, Arizona 85038-9006. Telephone (602) 240-6860 or e-mail mail@azwater.com.

In 2003, the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) completed a Source Water Assessment of three ground water wells, which are the sources of water used by Arizona Water Company's Superior water system. The Assessment reviewed the adjacent land uses that may pose a potential risk to the wells. These risks include, but are not limited to: gas stations, landfills, dry cleaners, agriculture fields, waste water treatment plants, and mining activities. Once ADEQ identified the adjacent land uses, they were ranked as to their potential to affect the wells. The result of the Assessment was a low risk to the sources of water.

Residents can help protect sources of water by practicing good septic system maintenance, taking hazardous household chemicals to hazardous material collection sites, and limiting pesticide and fertilizer use. The complete Assessment is available for inspection at ADEQ, 1110 West Washington Street, Phoenix, Arizona 85007, between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Electronic copies are available from ADEQ at dml@azdeq.gov. For more information visit ADEQÕ s Source Water Assessment and Protection Unit website at: www.azdeq.gov/environ/water/dw/swap.html.

The EPA requires that Arizona Water Company provide the following information. Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of various contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency's Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791).

Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791).

The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally-occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity.

Constituents that may be present in source water include: (A) Microbials, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife. (B) Inorganics, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally-occurring or result from urban stormwater runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining, or farming. (C) Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban stormwater runoff, and residential uses. (D) Organics, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are by-products of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban stormwater runoff, and septic systems. (E) Radionuclides, which can be naturally-occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities.

In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations which limit the amount of certain constituents in water provided by public water systems. FDA regulations establish limits for constituents in bottled water which must provide the same protection for public health.

Copper Mine and return the mine into production is a lasting legacy that will deliver value to shareholders,” said Eagland. Gold Hawk expects to produce a NI 43-101 compliant technical report later this summer for its Oracle Ridge Copper Mine near Tucson, Arizona. Extensions to its current historical mineralization in Zone 4 have previously been reported and the Company continues its

confirmation drill program and assaying of new and historic drill core. This month Gold Hawk also announced that they intercepted 70 feet of 2.53% Copper at Oracle Ridge.Augusta – Rosemont Mine Augusta Mining officials announced that they have delivered the printed and electronic copies of the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) to the Coronado National Forest , the State of Arizona and local cooperating agencies for final review. The cooperating agencies have 30 days to review the as per the federal requirements set forth by National Environmental Policy Act. The Record of Decision (“ROD”) for the Rosemont Copper project appears on track for January 2012 and in-line with previous USFS guidance allowing for a 90 day public comment period after the publication of the draft EIS in August 2011. “With the preliminary draft EIS now delivered to the cooperating agencies we are one major step closer to the ROD,” said Gil Clausen, Augusta’s president and CEO. “We are pleased with the progress the USFS has been able to attain in the past several months and expect that they will be able to meet their objective for releasing the draft EIS to the public this August.”Tombstone Mining Tombstone Exploration Corp. announced the renewal of six Copper Silver/Gold Exploration permits in Arizona. Their applications for renewal encompass five sections, totaling approximately 2,600 acres in the Tombstone Mining District. The rocks in these parcels are mostly the Bisbee Group sediments and metasediments. The targets that they have identified have precious metal (Gold and Silver) occurrences as “halos” around the properties, which are significant characteristics of porphyry systems.Resolution Copper Rep. Paul Gossar introduced the Southeast Arizona Land Exchange and Conservation Act Bill into the House of Representatives in June. The Bill received a hearing in the House Natural Resources Subcommittee on National Parks, Forests and Public Lands. Resolution continues to work on their reclamation projects for the East Plant area of their property. This project has increased the activity on the mine site, which has been visible to the public eye.

a search warrant just off visual clues to hinky business and one of these scenarios was actually what was taking place, this would be an extreme violation of a person’s privacy and their Fourth Amendment rights. You may sit back and think ‘Ohh well they would get over it once they realized what was going on?’ No, they probably wouldn’t! How would you feel if you were that person and a search warrant was just served on you so that the police could literally go through everything you own and for absolutely no other evidence than ‘it looked suspicious’? Because of the possibility of violating a person’s rights, certain policies are in place to try and cover every base so that this does not happen. Yes, boo boos do happen, however they probably happen far less due to these policies. Yet in the same respect, these policies make it fairly difficult to obtain a search warrant, because (and this is entirely understandable) the department/county prosecutor/Superior Court judge would rather not end up in a

situation where they have egg on their face. Thus, these things take time, extremely tedious time. First, as stated by the Superior Police Field Manual, “a search warrant is issued only on probable cause and must be supported by an affidavit naming and describing particularly the property or persons to be seized and the persons and /or premises to be searched” and while this seems easy at first glance, it is generally not. It is generally not easy since probable cause almost always requires so much more than purely visual evidence; it typically requires witnesses willing to testify and/or hard evidence on the contraband that would be the purpose of the search. This brings us to the second part of the process, “the affidavit for search presented to a judge is based on the personal knowledge of the applicant or another peace officer and/or information received from a reliable informant who reliability is established at the time the warrant is issued.” Not only is it extremely difficult to come by an reliable informant, but the process by which one become an established reliable informant is, at times, lengthy. From here the officer wishing to submit the application must submit

it to a Supervisor for review, as “an affidavit lacking sufficient facts for a magistrate to exercise the necessary judgment, even though the warrant is issued, will likely lead to the suppression of evidence”; thus, indicating another reason for covering all the bases. In the application, the police officer must “be extremely careful to describe exactly those premises to be searched, especially those…where more than one family lives. If a vehicle is to be searched, describe as accurately as possible.” This being the case as anything not included in this description may not be searched…so if there is an extra vehicle present or a back room that was not described, these are off-limits. The policy is staunch to include “a warrant to search premises cannot be automatically extended to include the search of a person. If it is considered necessary to search the occupants of the premises, describe them in the affidavit and the warrant”…so this is where things get a little difficult, if indeed you are attempting to search a drug house, considering the length of time it takes to get a warrant, it is sometimes hard to include all the occupants of the premises at the time of the search. If the officer feels it is necessary to

serve the warrant at night, they must “allege that there is good cause for searching then, rather than waiting until daytime”. In a warrant where the scope includes narcotics, the county prosecutor requires that the warrant be obtained from a Superior Court Judge as these cases will end up in their courtrooms. This requires at least a half hour of driving to find the judge and they are sometimes not immediately available to review

the evidence. All warrants must be served within five days of being issued, so this also adds difficulty to the issue; if the suspects are considered high risk, then a S.W.A.T. team from another agency comes in to assist on the search. This takes time to arrange and requires the police chief’s approval. Before any search warrant is served, the team must be briefed on the plan for the search warrant; plans include diagrams, sketches, photos and maps,

along with arrest and distress signals, specialized equipment, completion of a raid planning checklist, target and target area familiarization, etc. There are many different pieces that need to fall into place before a warrant can actually be obtained and even if it can be served. If you would like more information on this process, please contact the Superior Police Department for questions concerning the process of obtaining a search warrant.

By Taylor Sheaffer Ritter I could be wrong and I certainly hope someone will tell me if this is not the case, but I try to be nice, helpful and generous if the opportunity is there and I am able to do so. This is just my belief and I am sure I have had a hypocrite moment or two, but I try not to judge others on a first impression simply due to the fact that I have no idea what their experience in life has been nor do I have any understanding of what trials and tribulations they are currently undergoing. I feel like there is a chance to learn something from everyone you meet, whether the experience be pleasant or not. Having said this, I have to admit that it is really cool when you’re nice and nice comes right back to hug you. This happened to me recently and it only reinforced my belief of ‘why not be nice?’ Here’s how it went: Ben was heading back to Minnesota to hang with his twin brother and dad to get some serious guy time in watching hockey games, drinking Pabst and what not…and whenever Ben leaves I get a little stir crazy. The last time Ben left me alone home by myself with the dogs, a spider the size of a large mouse darted across my room and I ran around with a broom, screaming like a three year old, for the better part of an hour…of course, this happens when Ben is gone. So as it was still somewhat pleasant outside, I gathered up a few friends and we set off to go camping in the White Canyon Wilderness. I arrived early to secure our spot in this awesome canyon…if you have not explored it, I really recommend it. Since the White Canyon is used by ranchers, our campsite was rather full of, shall we say, “fertilizer,” and as I surveyed this I mentally karate-kicked myself in the head for staring at my shovel earlier and thinking ‘Why would I need that?’ I have luck like this, even when I have a perfectly capable large shovel, purchased for exactly this type of moment, I am stupid and would rather struggle

Taylor’s Take: Sometimes it pays to be nice!

over large mounds of ‘doo’ with a rather flimsy piece of cardboard with bullet holes in it, that ‘Thank goodness’ someone was good enough to leave behind. I felt my dog, Roo, silently judging me, ‘Not one of your top moments, Mom!’ After eradicating that pleasant material from our campsite, I set to putting up the tent in a beautiful little patch of grass with branches blessedly bent over it in a nice arch. It was lovely and soft and perfect and within five minutes I was confronted with why this was the case. A large black cow, cause of the ‘doo,’ was standing on the other side of my tent, I assume rather irritated that I had just pitched my make-shift home over her bed. This standoff lasted 15 minutes while I clapped, tried to tap her with a branch and attempted to shoo her away. She resolved herself to stand across the creek-bed and angrily moo at me; ornery, old sow. Because I am a nerd and my mother never taught me that camping meant no-gourmet, I had planned a hearty meal of bourbon bbq-ed ribs, crisp pan-roasted potatoes and green beans with a selection of delicious cheese and soft baguette to start. As we were preparing our meal, two hikers ambled in and we talked for a while to find out that they were hiking from Apache Junction all the way to Albuquerque. This meant that they had to pack everything they needed

on their back…which basically spelled out Ramen. Ramen is good when you are studying for an exam or just need a quick treat before work or whatever, but definitely gets a little old if consumed for two months straight. Friends and I looked around, we had more than enough food, so we invited the pair to stay for dinner with us. It was scrumptious and I assume the best meal they had and would have in a while. We ate and drank and were merry and eventually all retired to our respective tents, having said good night to our guests who had an early start. We awoke the next morning to find a couple business cards on the table. It just so happened that one of our guests was part-owner of the Arizona Diamondbacks. One of his business cards would afford us two tickets to a game. Sweet! Recently, Ben and I found out that his favorite team, the Minnesota Twins, were playing the D-backs so we looked at the business card and decided to make a trip of it. We arrived assuming that we would get cheap seats way up among the birds. Once again, let me remind you, being nice is just a great thing to practice and takes very little effort; yet occasionally, being nice gets you 27th row first base seats to a Major Leagues game and you get to watch your fiancé act like he just won the sports lottery and excitedly watch his favorite team play.
