By Mila Lira It has always been a common practice in Superior that the Town support programs and activities that were a benefit to the community – programs such as the Food Bank, Little League, the Chamber of Commerce and even the Optimist and Rotary Clubs. Each of these organizations over the years has developed some kind of partnership and in-kind agreements to support these community groups. At the July Chamber of Commerce meeting, Mayor Valenzuela and Interim Town Manager Rita Wentzel explained that due to very dire budget conditions the town would have to suspend all of these partnerships and in-kind services. Wentzel explained that until the town could take care of

the town business they could not provide financial or in-kind assistance to other groups. What this means to each of the groups vary. For the Superior Little League, the town will not be able to contribute funding for the payment of electricity or the water bills during the season. Little League Treasurer Vanessa Navarrette explained that this will put an additional burden on the league but they were looking for additional financial assistance and corporate sponsorships. They will need to raise an additional $3,000 to $5,000 to cover the shortage. If the funds cannot be raised the league will be forced to pass some of the costs on to parents through the registration fees. The Town has also provided financial

assistance to the Superior Food Bank by paying for their electricity bills. This is a cost the organization has never had to shoulder. For groups like the Superior Chamber of Commerce and the Superior Optimist Club, which do not receive financial assistance but receive in-kind services and assistance from the public works department for community events, the new budget controls will require them to secure additional volunteers. The public works department will no longer be available to help with setting up for events or delivering equipment such as garbage cans and barricades. At a recent Optimist Meeting, members discussed how they can find more volunteers to help with the Miracle on Main Street Light Parade. If enough volunteers

Town’s bleak finances will affect local organizationsare not available this may force the club to scale back their event or they will need to raise additional funds to hire a work crew. The Superior Chamber of Commerce had not yet discussed how

these changes will affect their annual events or event budgets. Each of these groups will need to deploy additional fundraising programs and volunteer recruitment to continue providing

their services within the community. At each meeting where the budget has been discussed, it has been explained that the town has very limited options due to the severity of the budget shortfalls.

Compiled by Mila Lira Copper prices remained steady over the past few weeks. At the close of business on Monday Copper was being sold at $3.42 a pound. Local mining companies Resolution Copper and Asarco continue to move forward with their separate land exchanges. Both companies are working on land exchanges that are necessary to expand their mining operations in the region. There have been no major indications from Congress

that any new progress has been made on the Southeast Arizona Land Exchange and Conservation Act which has been proposed by Resolution Copper Mining. Resolution Copper Mining reported that they continue to sink the number 10 shaft and rehabilitate the number 9 shaft at their east plant operations. At press time the number 10 shaft has been sunk to the 5,780ft level and the rehabilitation of the number 9 shaft is at the 4,182 ft level. BHP continues to

advertise heavily for job openings at their Pinto Valley operations. They expect to hire 650 new employees by the end of 2012. Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold reported a second quarter 2012 net income attributable to common stock of $710 million. The reported net income includes charges for environmental obligations and related litigation reserves totaling $53 million according to a recent press release.

QUESTIONING RESIDENCY AGAIN ?? NEVERMIND THAT SHERIFF BABEU’S “BIG PUBLICITY BLAST” AND “ANONYMOUS” LETTER REFERRED TO THE ARIZONA ATTORNEY GENERAL IN 2011 WAS CLOSED IN JANUARY OF 2012 CONCLUDING THE SAME AS A PREVIOUS SUPERIOR COURT JUDGE YEARS BEFORE THAT PETE RIOS MET ALL STATE LAWS ON RESIDENCY.

A SECOND “PUBLICITY BLAST” BY SHERIFF BABEU IN 2011 ATTEMPTED TO VILIFY PETE OVER A TRAFFIC TICKET RECEIVED IN GILA COUNTY. THE POLICE OFFICER ADMITS IN HIS REPORT THAT THERE WAS ANOTHER VEHICLE BETWEEN HIS CAR AND RIOS’ CAR. NO POLICE LIGHTS WERE ACTIVATED ON THE HIGHWAY. THUS RIOS WAS UNAWARE A POLICE OFFICER WAS BEHIND HIM UNTIL HE EXITED HIS VEHICLE AT A LOCAL RESTAURANT. SURPRISED AT THE OFFICER’S PRESENCE, RIOS QUESTIONED WHY THE OFFICER WAS DEMANDING HIS DRIVER’S LICENSE. AFTER SOME DISCUSSION RIOS WAS CITED FOR SPEEDING 57 MPH IN A 45 MPH ZONE. RIOS SIGNED THE TICKET AND PAID THE COURT TO ATTEND TRAFFIC SURVIVAL SCHOOL TO CLEAR HIS DRIVING RECORD.

SUPERIOR, Ariz. - A public hearing will be held August 2, 2012 6:00 p.m. prior to the adoption of Superior’s 2013 final spending plan. This meeting will be at the Superior Senior Center, 360 W. Main Street, Superior, Arizona. The overall 2013 budget for the Town of Superior was tentatively approved at $4,039,624. The 2013 Property Tax Levy is tentatively $575,511—an increase of $.04368 per $100 of assessed value over 2012. There were some very discouraging discoveries and some difficult decisions that were made during this budget planning process. First, during the last several years, the Debt Servicing Schedule had not been completed or taken into consideration. Second, fiscal years audits are not current, but as of June 30, 2010, the General Fund had borrowed approximately $2,581,967 from the Special Revenue Fund (restricted to use on streets) and needs to establish an immediate repayment plan. Last, in order to continue

to operate, the General Fund (Superior’s largest user) must continue to utilize or borrow Special Revenue Funds until the necessary changes can be made to be self-sufficient. Some of the causes for overspending and borrowing over the years include failure to comply with the Auditor General’s requirement to conduct annual audits on time for the past three years, resulting in large borrowing between the General Fund and Special Revenue Fund to subsidize uncontrolled expenditures and inflated staffing. Additional causes include failure to pay state and federal payroll taxes on a timely basis, incurring large back payments along with substantial interest and penalties and failure to pay bond and loan debt servicing, causing a lien to be placed on the Town’s State Shared Revenue failure to put Home Rule on the ballot and not adhering to the State Expenditure Limitations, rather holding an Override Election to allow excessive spending; Some of the ways staff

and Council propose to restore the Town’s finances include waiving Council stipends and discontinuing health benefits; reducing employee salaries across the board by three percent; discontinuing monetary and in-kind contributions to all groups and organizations—non-profit or otherwise and reducing services in the community service areas, such as Library, Pool, Recreation and Senior Center. Furthermore, the Council will return to a more stringent enforcement of the Town Code with the hope of creating overall compliance and collecting revenues due the Town for city sales taxes, sewer and refuse services, ambulance services and reducing expenses while increasing direct revenue generation. While a timeline for returning the Town to good standing is unavailable at this time the Council is currently set to review the changes every two months. For more information, contact Interim Town Manager Rita M. Wentzel at 520-689-5752.

By Mila LiraThe Superior Unified

School District recently announced that all students in the district would receive a breakfast and lunch for free regardless of income status. The free meal program is a special program managed by the United States Department of Agriculture who manages the traditional school meal program.

The program is

designed to help provide free meals for districts that have a high low to moderate income student population. The program will also streamline the paperwork process for the school district food service staff. It is expected that the program will be in effect for at least the next three years as well.

While there is not a qualification process for students to receive the free

meals, parents still need to fill out and return the Free and Reduced Lunch Application. The district is still required to have those applications on file with the USDA.

School Superintendant Pete Guzman congratulated the SUSD Food Service staff for leading the efforts on applying for this status.

For many years, there were several students who did not qualify for a free or

Superior School District offers free breakfast, lunch programreduced lunch, which often created additional financial burdens for parents and guardians in the district. With the new program

in place, all students can receive a nutritionally balanced free breakfast and lunch. For more information,

By Chase KampCopper Area News The District 1 Pinal County Supervisor candidate field is very balanced, proving to be one of the more diverse races in this year’s County elections. Boasting two Republicans, an independent and two Democrats (including incumbent Pete Rios), the winner will be decided on the Nov. 6 general election. District 1 is largely rural, consisting of eastern Pinal towns like Superior and Winkelman as well as parts of Coolidge and Florence. Speaking with Copper Area News, Rios and Republican candidate Jim Montaño discussed the issues they found most pertinent to District 1. Other candidates seeking the District 1 seat are Gem Cox (R), Alicia Bristow (I) and Mary Espinoza (D), who could not be reached by press time. Incumbent Rios, who

once served as President of the Arizona state Senate in his 28 years of public service, said one of the biggest challenges in Supervisorial District 1 is lack of diversified employment beyond mining and open space. “Light industry and a possible Apache Tribe Casino would very much benefit this area,” he said, adding that the Redrock Employment Center and Pinal Airpark expansion are promising ventures for the area. For the county as a whole, air quality is a continued problem caused by unpaved roads, loose desert soil and farmlands. “If the Environmental Protection Agency were to sanction Pinal County because of this dust problem, it would place a huge obstacle and severe restrictions in our county’s economic development plans,” he said. In regard to taxation, Rios pointed to the

leadership of the Board of Supervisors,” he added. In regard to County taxation, his view is very black and white. “I don’t see spending and

taxation as a philosophy,” he explained, “taxation and government spending is either accurate or inaccurate. My position on

current Board’s reduction of property taxes by ten percent, as well as implementing a hiring freeze for the last three years. “In the future, we must look towards reducing our property rate even more as Pinal County is still the third or fourth highest property tax county in the state,” he said. Among the things District 1 voters want to see are more jobs in the county in retail business, light industry, mining, high tech, health care and prisons, he argued. “Many want to see a four-year college established in

the county, beyond two plus two programs with universities,” he said. Republican challenger Jim Montaño was a helicopter crew chief for three years in the Army. He also worked for a subsidiary of Hughes Aircraft Company for 15 years, has been self-employed for the last 12 years and is the father of four children. He said the biggest issues facing the County are the effects of the economy and the continual loss of jobs. “Another is the disconnection between the needs of the citizens of Pinal County and the

many weapons – guns, bows and arrows, swords, etc. We are familiar with these types of weapons and can use them. In spiritual warfare, the weapons we have to use are very different because physical weapons have no effect here. One of the best weapons we have is called, “the Name of the Lord” or the “Name of Jesus.” We can trust in our own abilities or in the abilities of our Lord.

When we pray, it is nor-mal to end with: “In Jesus’ Name.” In John 14:13, our Lord said, “I will do what-ever you ask in My Name.” In Acts 3, Peter declared – “I do not have any silver or gold; but what I do have (authority and power from heaven), I now give to you. In the Name of Jesus Christ, walk!” The man was healed in that instant. “Whatever you ask in My Name, I will do.” Trust God to do what He has promised. When Jesus Christ left earth to return

to heaven, He told His dis-ciples that the authority and power Father God had given Him, he now transferred to them, so that they could continue the work He had begun. We can speak change, healing or victory into our lives by simply using the Name of Jesus. Pray, asking Father God to do a mighty miracle and then, In Jesus’ Name, declare it to happen. We have power and author-ity in our words, especially if we trust in the Name of the Lord our God!

taxation and spending is that government should be value-focused not dollar-focused.” Montaño said something District 1 voters want

from their Supervisor is accessibility. “They want to see their supervisor so they can tell him what they need,” he said. “I am a public servant, not a celebrity, and will continue my community conversations throughout my term.”
