I have never written a letter to the editor before, but the time has come. I am writing in support of Orlenda Roberts for County School Superintendent. This race shouldn’t be be-tween Republicans, Tea Party, Independents or Democrats. It should be about what is best for kids and Orlenda Roberts is BEST FOR KIDS! I have listened to Jill Broussard spout what she is going to do if she is elected and I have read what she professes she will do, but NEVER have I heard her say HOW she is going to do all this. There has been no sub-stance in any of her proposals that I have heard or seen. She says we need a high

school for those who don’t want to go to college. Well, Pinal County HAS one. It is called CAVIT. I guess she has never heard of it. They offer nine different programs that do not lead to a four year degree. They have everything from aesthetics to veterinary asst. Our area high schools offer other vocational subjects such as woodworking, agriculture, culinary arts, child care, auto mechanics and hospitality which may or may not lead to going further in school so the training is already in place!! Much of the funding for these programs comes from grants too which Ms. Broussard has said she would do away with

because she doesn’t believe in soft money. I would challenge her to find “solid” money to pay for these programs. She keeps saying she believes if a person is going to become a member of a local school board, s/he should live in the community. Well, Ms. Brous-sard, they HAVE to live in the community at the present time unless something has changed that ruling. She has said she would go to the local school boards and help them balance their budgets. She cannot do that as county school superintendent. That is NOT part of her job. She has said she would do away with the Professional

Development Division of the county school office because it is based on soft money and then in the same breath says she would provide more teach-er training. Of course she has never said where she is going to get the money to do all this training if she does away with the positions that presently perform these trainings. She says she believes every school should have a reading specialist. I agree with this but that again is not up to the county school superintendent. It is up to the local districts. She cannot dictate to them. I GUARANTEE you that the specific schools under Mrs. Roberts do have reading

specialists to work with the students who need it. There are even para professionals to assist with this problem area in the schools Mrs. Roberts oversees. Mrs. Roberts has brought in over $10 million in grants in the time she has been county school superintendent. This is money that has come from the federal government and is going to go to some county somewhere and why not Pinal? So far as I can determine, Ms. Broussard has no experience in overseeing budgets or writing grants. That scares me when I look to see what all the grant money that has come into Pinal County has done to improve

education possibilities for the children of our county. I have spent the past 65 years of my life involved in education in one aspect or another—whether it was as a student, teacher or working at a district/county level so I think I can recognize talent, honesty and what is best for our kids so far as education is concerned. I recognize all those things in Orlenda F. Roberts. Please get out and vote for the best on November 6, 2012. VOTE FOR ORLENDA F. ROBERTS FOR COUNTY SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT./S/Lolly Davies, Retired Edu-catorCasa Grande, AZ

Orlenda Roberts is what is best for county schools


By Chase Kamp Copper Area News There was plenty of heated debate and some occasional fireworks at the final candidate forum sponsored by Copper Area News Publishers held on Oct. 11, 2012. Candidates for County Attorney, District 1 Supervisor and LD-8 state House and Senate

participated in the forum. The contentious race for County Attorney reached a boiling point with incumbent Democrat James Walsh fervently defending his record against steep allegations by challenging Republican Lando Voyles. Voyles continued his assertion that Walsh’s office has been soft on violent crime. “We have cases right now where officers are getting shot at, which are getting probation,” Voyles said. Walsh contended the opposite, saying felony prosecutions in the County are up 41 percent in the last five years. “FBI statistics show violent crime is down in the County by 30 percent.” Voyles also touted his claim that 61 percent of mandatory prison cases have been plead down to probation by Walsh’s office, one that Walsh virulently opposes. “It’s flat wrong,” Walsh said. “We are not letting violent criminals out in the street.” Voyles campaign is being run in tandem with Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu’s re-election campaign, sharing expenses and appearing together on road signs labeled as the “Law and Order Team.” Walsh argued this kind of political allegiance is dangerous, pointing to

the relationship between Maricopa County Attorney Andrew Thomas and County Sheriff Joe Arpaio. Thomas was disbarred earlier this year by a state legal ethics panel for filing unfounded malicious charges against Arpaio’s political opponents, among other violations. There must be a degree of independence between the two offices, Walsh said. “There is an inherent tension between prosecution and law enforcement, and it’s critical,” he said. “It’s checks and balances.” “I have no political motivations,” Voyles said in response. At the conclusion of the County Attorney portion of the forum, Walsh asked if he would be allowed a closing argument, but the format did not allow time for final statements. Walsh was still compelled to address Voyles accusations of lax prosecution. “You have no basis of accusing the lawyers of my office of unethical behavior,” Walsh said. “This is a lack of policy,” Voyles responded before the segment was concluded. The candidates for District 1 Supervisor also had their share of heated language. Incumbent Pete Rios lashed out at Republican challenger

Gem Cox for accusing Rios of doubling the County Supervisors’ retirement fund, saying the Board is not legally capable of making such a move. Independent candidate Alicia Bristow said the biggest problem at the Board is lack of communication. She argued there was not suffi cient notice about a special session of the Board earlier this month that changed the number of Oracle Fire Board members from three to fi ve. A primary topic discussed by the LD-8 House candidates was education. Current state

Representative Frank Pratt said the legislature had to make painful cuts to education during the fi nancial crisis. “We’re in a position now where we restored $120 million to education that was cut previously in this current budget,” he said. Republican TJ Shope touted his experience as a member of the Coolidge school board and said he would support Pratt’s bill to allow Central Arizona College to give four-year degrees. “These are the types of programs that will be needed for future employment in this district,” Shope said. Democrat Emily

Verdugo attacked the Republican-led legislature for cutting to the maintenance of effort, the state statutory minimum of funding, for education. “They have been cutting education to the limit that is legally stated by the Constitution and have not found a way to make up this revenue,” she argued. Democrat Ernest Bustamante pointed to his record of voting for all-day Kindergarten in 2004 when he was in the legislature. “I will work diligently with all parties on a bipartisan basis to ensure that we fulfi ll the education statute,” Bustamante said.

By Zach RichterCopper Area News Despite local opposition and the best efforts of the group Protect Our Water our Future, the Arizona Department of Environ-mental Quality (ADEQ) granted Curis Resource the Aquifer Protection Permit [APP] required for the company to move forward with Phase 1 of the in-situ copper mine the Florence Copper Project on Sept. 28, 2012. “The receipt of our Phase 1 operating permit from the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality is a key milestone for the com-pany as we look forward to the start of construction and development of the Florence Copper Project,” said Michael McPhie, Curis President and CEO in a press release regarding the permit. The Southeast Valley Ledger spoke with Rita Maguire, Senior Legal and

Government Affairs Advi-sor to Curis Resources about what the permitting means for the project and a tentative start date for Phase 1. She explained that the ADEQ permit has been issued though there is a public comment period before it is finalized. “This permit is a critical milestone, next the ADEQ will begin its formal com-ment and hearing process where they will take public comment and then issue the final permit,” Maguire said. “The ADEQ won’t issue the permit at all un-less we meet all of their requirements; they believe the [in-situ] process is safe.” Maguire went on to note that the dates of the public comment meetings will be announced by the end of Oct., “The second part of the permitting process is the EPA’s underground injection permit,” she con-tinued. “It’s been in pro-

cess form many months…we’re hopeful the permit will be issued by the end of the year.” Assuming everything goes according to plan, Maguire believes the Flor-ence Copper Project will be up and running in its testing phase in the spring of 2013. “Things are really mov-ing forward, we’re actively remodeling offices and Curis is hiring new people and moving forward with vendors and contractors,” she said. “What the ADEQ has done is grant a tempo-rary [APP] for two years on a small scale…all the data will go to the ADEQ and the EPA demonstrating this process can operate exactly as we expect.” While Curis and the ADEQ are confidant in-si-tu mining is safe, the orga-nization known as Protect Our Water our Future is confidant they know bet-ter. The Southeast Valley

Ledger reached out to the group and received a state-ment from group spokes-person Justin Merritt. “We knew the APP per-mit was going to be issued, that is why we filed the complaint along with Pulte Homes and Johnson Utili-ties, over a week ago,” he wrote. “In our opinion foreign owned Curis Re-sources is requesting a temporary permit for long term commercial use, which is totally inappro-priate.” “This is an end-run around the will of the residents of Florence who have repeatedly ex-pressed that they don’t want a mine located in the middle of their town, injecting acid into the community’s water sup-ply,” Merritt continued. If granted, this emergency action would circumvent two previous council votes opposing the un-tested mine; put the com-

FLORENCE, Ariz. – The Pinal County Public Health Services District offers a comprehensive breast health program through their Well Woman HealthCheck Program throughout Pinal County. The Well Woman HealthCheck Program is a statewide program that provides free breast and cervical cancer screening and diagnostic services to women who qualify. In Pinal County, payment for these services comes from federal funds passed through the Arizona Department of Health

Services (ADHS). Grant funds are used to help low-income, uninsured or underinsured individuals pay for services provided through this program. “A job loss, loss of insurance coverage or any other personal or family issue should not be a reason to skip these important diagnostic exams,” said Pinal County Public Health Director Tom Schryer. “What we know from decades of documented evidence is that cancer detection tools are getting better and when problems are caught early,

County says no valid reasons for skipping well-woman carethe chances for survival and a return to good health are far greater.” Services offered through the Well Woman HealthCheck program include clinical breast exams,pap tests, pelvic exams,

referrals for diagnostic testing such as, ultrasounds, biopsies, other tests are also available if screening results are abnormal. Transportation arrangements for clinical and referral services are also available if necessary.

Women are eligible to participate in the Well Woman HealthCheck Program if they do not

have health insurance, their insurance does not cover the services offered by the

Paid for by Committee to Elect Barbara McGuire 2012

By Mila Besich-Lira For the fifth straight year the Superior High School Hall of Fame organization has inducted students and teachers from SHS who have made significant impacts in this world. The event has become an annual tradition that most do not want to miss. The 2012 induction will be held at the original Superior High School in the gymnasium. The event will begin at 4 p.m. and is expected to run until 6 p.m. Tours of the building for ticket holders will begin at 2:30 p.m. Those wishing to attend should contact a member of the Hall of Fame Committee at 520-689-5430. This year the organization will induct six new members. Those being inducted this year are Pack-Bates Pack-Bates, Steven Besich, Rita Carrillo, Bill Ong Hing, Joe Osuna Tameron and Ray West. The purpose of the hall of fame is to preserve the history of the Superior Unified School District. The 2012 inductees all have a different

background and have made their own unique marks on the world. Evelyn Pack-Bates was a Teaching Assistant for the PE Department at Arizona State University for two years before she took a teaching position in the Superior Unified School District where she taught until her retirement in 1988. Although she taught first grade when she first came to Superior, Pack-Bates’ legacy is in coaching boys’ and girls’ sports and teaching physical education. Pack-Bates helped influence women’s sports on the national stage. She was a member of the Arizona Committee on Title IX that was the landmark case insuring women’s sports equal rights with men’s sports. During her time in Superior, Pack-Bates coached archery, badminton, basketball, cheerleading, tennis and volleyball. She is best known for encouraging her athletes and students to never give up. Steven Besich worked for Gila County Government where he eventually

became Deputy Director, Gila County Development Office in Globe. In this capacity he represented the Gila County Board of Supervisors in various intergovernmental activities including presentations to congressional and state representatives. He also coordinated

intergovernmental and departmental efforts to assist the 1993 flood disaster victims. After serving as policy advisor to Governor Janet Napolitano for seven months, Besich moved into the job of Deputy County Manager for Gila County and for five years before his death he served as the

County Manager. Rita Carrillo was active in Arizona government most of her adult life, Rita served in the Bruce Babbitt administration from 1979 until 1986 was responsible for bringing Governor Babbitt to speak at Superior High School’s commencement in 1982. She has also served on the staff of Phoenix’ Mayor Terry Goddard where she was liaison to the community for transportation and planning and zoning issues. From 1993-2006 Carrillo was Executive Director of Neighborhood

Housing Services of Phoenix, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the revitalization of central city neighbor hoods through the development of home ownership opportunities. She is currently a board member of The Industrial Development Authority of the City of Phoenix and SeedCo Financial Services, a community development corporation based in New York City. She has also served on the Board of Directors of Bank One, Nordstrom Bank, Phoenix Aviation Board,

The Arizona Conference of Police and Sheriffs represents thousands of sworn law enforcement officers who serve and protect our communities every day. We are the largest and fastest

growing law enforcement organization in Arizona. Because of our mission and our statewide profile, our members believe it is important to step up and let our voices be heard on

important issues that impact public safety and the law enforcement community. Now is one of those times. The State Senate race between Rep. Barbara McGuire of Kearney and

Letter to the Editor: Ortiz wrong choice for LD 8Joe Ortiz of Casa Grande has caught our attention, and should be of concern to every voter in Legislative District 8. It has recently been reported in The Arizona Capitol Times, that Mr. Ortiz is, unfortunately, an all-too-familiar face to law enforcement in Pinal County. Here are the facts from public record: Since Ortiz became an adult in 1998 he has been arrested five times on charges that include assault, disorderly conduct, criminal damage and criminal speeding. The most recent infraction was in March of this year.

In one case, Ortiz was arrested for allegedly punching his step-father in the face and putting him in the hospital. In that same report, Ortiz’ step brother told police that he too had been beaten and hospitalized in the past, and that Ortiz has a violent temper. At a recent campaign forum in Florence, Mr. Ortiz was dismissive of his past interactions with police and said he has been open about his history with voters. We have seen little evidence in the media or in Mr. Ortiz’ campaign materials of this

openness. Further, where Mr. Ortiz hopes voters see youthful indiscretions, we in law enforcement see a pattern of misbehavior and immaturity that could be predictive of future problems. From the public record, Joe Ortiz displays a disturbing knack for finding trouble and strong evidence of poor judgment and a hair-trigger temper. Temperament and maturity are important qualities for a legislator. We expect our lawmakers to meet face-to-face with constituents, not all of whom will agree with their positions. These representatives are also ambassadors for our communities to the rest of the state and country. It’s charitable to say that Mr. Ortiz would be a poor choice for this role. That is exactly why AZCOPS proudly endorses Rep. Barbara McGuire in her race against Mr. Ortiz for the open District 8 State Senate seat. As law enforcement officers, we back candidates who value and respect public safety. We back Barbara McGuire because she has our back./s/Ed Neidkowski President, AZCOPS

I have received robo-calls from the Babeu campaign attacking Jim Walsh, our Pinal County Attorney. Not only are these calls possibly a violation of campaign laws but the very nature of the unfounded accusations and lies shows the gutter level of politics Babeu practices. It’s no wonder he had to leave Massachusetts when his brand of politics got so onerous he had to come to our state where nobody knows him. County Attorney Walsh has done an excellent job for Pinal County, is well respected throughout the state and has the breath of experience required to run what is the largest law firm in Pinal County. His office has prosecuted more cases even as the actual crime rate is going down. He has done this by working closely with the sheriff’s department to ensure investigations are run correctly and by running an

efficient operation. His staff now includes former county attorneys that use to run other county attorney offices in the state because they respect Mr. Walsh and want to work with him. The County Attorney’s office is a multifaceted operation advocating for victim rights, making sure “deadbeat” parents support their children, dealing with fraud to help protect small business interest and more. The County Attorney’s office is a complex public service and one that deserves experienced leadership and not someone who throws rocks and hasn’t managed anything more complex then his checkbook. Jim Walsh deserves our vote for Pinal County Attorney. Let’s not repeat the mistakes of Maricopa County./s/David CowardGold Canyon, AZ

Avoid Maricopa County’s mistakes

Paul Babeu’s lies never quit – they just get more outrageous. His latest target is Pinal County Attorney James Walsh, and why is he going after Mr. Walsh? Because he can’t control him, that’s why. Attorney Walsh has stood up to Babeu’s bullying and has refused to cave in to his ridiculous demands. Because there’s nothing in Walsh’s record or performance to criticize, Babeu has been flat out making stuff up. He throws out crazy numbers that have already been discredited by the experts about how Walsh never puts anyone in jail. It’s nonsense of course – and frankly, if the sheriff

is that worried about criminals in the county, then he should go out and find them, which is his job, rather than spend his time and taxpayer money campaigning for himself and his friends. He’s so busy promoting Voyles, (who is his designated flunky), Cheryl Chase (his hand-picked Supervisor candidate – and employee!) that he doesn’t have a minute to spare to actually do his job. James Walsh is the about the only one in the county who can and will stand up to this bully. He’s also honest, professional and ethical. Please give him your vote!/s/ Mary Desio

Babeu should be doing his job
