An early fi re Sunday morning has left a family homeless. The San Manuel Fire Department was called to the scene of the fi re in the Rancho San Manuel Trailer Park at approximately 6 a.m. to fi nd a double-wide mobile home about 80 percent engulfed in fl ames. The home was occupied at the time that the fi re broke out, said SMFD Assistant Chief Jimmy Gardner. Four people were in the structure. One was sent by ambulance to University Medical Center with injuries and two others were sent by ambulance to Oro Valley Hospital as precautionary

measures. The fi re is being investigated in house, Gardner said, adding that the fi re was not suspicious in nature at all. Mammoth and Oracle fi re departments responded to the scene to assist San Manuel. Pinal County Sheriff’s Offi ce and Southwest Ambulance were also on hand. Gardner said he didn’t know the exact time the fi re was declared out, but San Manuel fi refi ghters were back at the station at approximately noon. A team checked on the scene throughout the day to make sure there were no fl are ups.

By Lana Jones Over $10,000 was raised for the Todd Myers benefi t scholarships this year. A handful of San Manuel High School graduates will receive $500 scholarships, thanks to the local community. Jamie Myers said that between 100 and 150 people came out to the fi rst Todd Walk on Saturday March 5. “We are so thankful to the community because they are truly the ones that have funded the scholarship and made it possible,” she said.

Inaugural Todd Walk off to an incredible start Walkers contributed to the scholarship fund with registration fees and pledges. Additional money was raised through t-shirt sponsors and sales, donations, Todd’s initial $1000 donation, and anonymous matching funds. Jamie said the original goal was to give out two $500 scholarships this year. Thanks to the great response more scholarships will be awarded. A few donors went the extra mile to help the cause. Calvin Herrick walked 7.5 miles to fulfi ll his pledges of over $400. Emily Large donated $115 that she collected with a gift-basket raffl e she holds every year. Jamie said that Larry Ramirez deserved a big thank you for helping create fl iers, registration forms, and come up with ideas for Todd Walk. “Also, a huge thank you to the high school,” Jamie said, “for allowing us the use of the track!” Face painting at the walk was done by Heather Carter, Raya and Taylor Woods. Family and friends

volunteered at the walk including National Jr. Honor Society student Stephen Faulstich and eight-year old Pacey Garcia. The San Manuel volunteer EMTs were on hand too, just in case.

By Lana Jones Exploration in and around Copper Creek is building momentum. Three companies are at varying stages of development around the historic mining district east of Mammoth. Freeport McMoRan is a new arrival, Redhawk is working on expanding its current deposits and fi nding new ones, and Millrock is exploring but hasn’t discovered any large deposits. Eric Kinneberg, director of external communications for Freeport McMoRan, confi rmed that Freeport was active in the area. “We’re conducting some very early stage exploration work on the property,” Kinneberg said. Redhawk Resources is doing the most work in the area. They’re working on the last hole in their 2010 drilling program now. Joe Sandberg, Redhawk president, said that they brought some better drillers in to fi nish the drilling program. “It’s been a little slower then we wanted but we’ve been getting that issue resolved,” he said. “We’ve still got a lot of drilling left to do that we’re working on this year.” The drilling will continue

throughout the year. In addition to drilling, Redhawk is working on road building, longer-term permitting, and archeological and biological studies on the entire property. One of the permits Redhawk is pursuing is an additional

right-of-way through state land. The permit is for a new spur off the existing Copper Creek Road. Each step brings Redhawk and the Copper Creek mining district closer to being active again.

“We’re trying to push Copper Creek towards getting it in to production at some point in time, hopefully sooner rather than later,” Sandberg said. Gregory Beischer, president

Editor, San Manuel Miner: First off, I want to thank Patricia Johnson for her letter to the editor “Bullying in Mammoth”. Nice job! You put into words what I’m sure many have thought or talked about recently.

Letter to the Editor:

Reader concurs about bullying in Mammoth

I have also witnessed some most distressing behavior by council members and meeting attendees alike. There does seem to be a “good ol’ boy” attitude by some city council members and their constituents as well. It’s time to step into the twenty fi rst century of these United States of America. It was time for Mr. Ponce to retire and I’m confi dent that our Public Works staff is handling their duties competently as expected until a director is chosen. As for the Police Chief, I thought he would do a good job for the Town of Mammoth. In time, I hope we will be told what actually transpired to make him resign. I completely agree with Patricia about Rachelle Sanchez. Since accepting responsibilities as the interim Town Clerk after Shannon Ortiz left, then offi cially becoming Town Clerk, Rachelle has been dedicated to bringing positive change to our town, to make the Town of Mammoth a better place. I appreciate her service and let her know. It is reprehensible that she be disrespected, berated and second-guessed, especially in a public setting. She does her research and whenever she speaks on a topic, it is clear and concise. When she is questioned by council members, it appears to me that the individuals have not been paying attention or did not do their homework. I see this dissent as a severe resistance to change. Change and progress cannot be stopped, the only thing to do is to be involved and courteously work together in the evolutionary process of our government. Although I am a “New Comer” of only fi ve years, I could see the beauty and potential of this area, Mammoth specifi cally. That

is why I moved here. I enjoy the feeling of Freedom I have found here. I felt it was my duty to give back to our town when I was invited to apply for a vacant seat on the Planning and Zoning commission. By serving, I get a chance to bring change and progress without sacrifi cing our ability to live the way we please. If any of those very vocal city council’s meetings’ audience members really want to make a difference then I challenge any one of them to apply for the P&Z commission seat that has been vacant since Larry Ramirez was elected to city council. It’s a rare occasion that we even get members of the public attending P&Z meetings if they don’t have business with the commission. Finally, Patricia was correct. Bullying is a way to make one feel better about one’s own short-comings by deriding others successes. /s/ Rebecca BeisensteinMammoth

and CEO of Canadian Millrock Resources, said that Millrock was taking a pause from drilling right now. “We started a program in December,” he said. “We drilled two fairly deep holes. We’re just assessing those results and getting ready to recommence in about three weeks.” Millrock’s claims are in the Galiuros, east of the historic Copper Creek mining district. The company is accessing the remote areas of the property by helicopter. Beischer said that some interesting prospects had been found but no major deposits. The next drilling program is not finalized yet but will include at least two more holes. Millrock is also mapping geology and collecting surface samples to maximize their chances of hitting a major deposit on their next round of drilling. Beischer thinks that Millrock’s funding partner, Vale, will decide whether to go forward with the project after the next round of drilling. “This part of the project will decide, are they in for the long haul or are they going to back away. There are promising results but no major discovery yet,” he said. He said that if Vale backs away, Millrock would seek other funding partners because it seems like a good spot. “I think it’s a fantastic mining area,” he said. “It seems to me that a lot of the local people there enjoy the mining industry.”

By Lana Jones SAND, or Superstition Area Networking and Development, is the baby of economic development groups in Pinal County. They formed in 2009 but are already working on multiple projects including a business incubator, local advertising project, and all-inclusive business directory. They serve the areas of Superior, Gold Canyon, San Tan Valley, Apache Junction, Florence, Queen Valley, and Queen Creek. SAND’s two goals are to bring new businesses to their service area and to support existing businesses. Bill Grubb, SAND board member, said that the group’s main goal was to bring businesses to the community. He said that SAND’s service area has a large population of employable people who would much rather work in the community than travel to neighboring cities. “SAND is trying very hard to bring businesses to those communities,” he said, “and to help the businesses that are already there grow.” The group isn’t only about growth though. They’re working to support existing local businesses with a Pinal County First campaign. It is modeled after Local First Arizona’s “Shift Arizona” campaign. The idea is to get people to shift 10 percent of their purchases to local businesses. Grubb said that jobs, the economy, and education all benefit from increased sales at local businesses. A calculator tool on the Shift Arizona website shows how shifting 10 percent of purchases to local businesses creates benefits that are multiplied throughout the community and state. If locals shifted 10 percent of their purchases to Copper Corridor businesses, for example, those businesses would be able to hire more workers. Wealth in the Copper Corridor would increase. “We’re trying to do that in Pinal County,” said Grubb. “We have a lot of small businesses with a lot of things to offer.” SAND is also looking at a new way to promote businesses in its area: a boutique tour. For the tour, SAND would work with Coolidge to bus shoppers to local boutiques. Shoppers would pay for a spot on the bus. Then they’d get small discounts from the boutiques on the tour to make up for the bus fee. Grubb said that SAND is

SAND says Pinal first: An idea that could help communities countywidelooking at as many ideas as they can to make people aware of the northeastern Pinal County business community. “It’s a thriving area,” he said. Though bringing in more shopping isn’t enough to support a self-sustaining community. Shopping brings in money but bringing in new companies or expanding existing companies helps the community support itself. “A company that exists in our service area, pays payroll in our service area,” Grubb said. “It helps the

growth of that community and the sustainability of that community.” SAND hopes to start a business incubator to help new local businesses get established. They had applied for a grant but the money ran out before SAND’s incubator was funded. A business incubator would help small businesses get through their first couple years. “We’re really driving hard on that particular one because we think that carries the best prospect with helping the

business community,” Grubb said. SAND is working on other programs in the meantime. One local advertising program uses digital picture frames. The picture frames hang in local businesses and show constantly changing ads from participating businesses. SAND also has the largest business directory in northeastern Pinal County. “There’s probably not a business that’s not in our business directory whether they’re members or not,” said Grubb. “If you’re looking for

a business they’re probably in our directory.” Finally, SAND is working to partner with other business organizations. The presidents from groups they’ve partnered with automatically sit on their board. Members of partner groups also become

SAND members without any additional fees. “We’re building a synergy if we can get all the chambers and business associations sitting on our board with us,” Grubb said. “We’re working on the best interest for our area without

By Lana Jones The Florence Copper Project held an open house on Feb. 24 at the Florence Gardens Clubhouse. The open house officially ran from 6 to 8 p.m. although the public was touring the posters and speaking with company representatives even before 6 p.m. rolled around. A total of 74 people attended the open house. Florence Copper Project is Curis Resources (Arizona) Ltd.’s main project. The Arizona company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Curis Resources Ltd. of Canada. Curis is affiliated with Hunter Dickinson Inc. (HDI). The Project is located near Florence, south of Poston Butte, between Hunt Highway and the Gila River. The property was previously owned by BHP. Low copper prices caused BHP to delay the project and then sell the property to Merrill Ranch Investments in 2000. HDI acquired the property in 2009. Michael McPhie, Curis president and CEO, was on hand at the open house to answer questions and explain the planned mining and reclamation processes. Florence Copper Project plans to use a mining process called ISCR (in-situ copper recovery).

Florence Copper Project holds open house to explain planned mine

In ISCR, an acid solution is pumped into the ore body using injection wells. The copper solution is then pumped out through recovery wells and processed. The copper is then recovered from the solution at a solvent extraction/electrowinning (SX/EW) plant. ISCR was one of the mining processes used at the San Manuel Mine. Water use is a common concern associated with ISCR mining. Curis Resources estimates the 216-acre Florence Copper Project will use about 1300 acre-feet of water per year (an acre foot is about 326,000 gallons of water). Curis estimates that if the same land were used for farming alfalfa it would use between 1700 and 2600 acre-feet of water.

The estimate is higher than University of Arizona (UA) Cooperative Extension estimates of water use for alfalfa in Pinal County. Based on UA estimates, 216 acres of alfalfa would use 1400 acre-feet of water. Wheat or cotton, two other common Pinal County crops, would use about 570 or 1000 acre-feet of water. The UA estimates are over 10 years old, though, and based on the county as a whole. They may not accurately represent current water use by farmers near Florence. Curis Resources expects production on the Project to begin by 2012. Check back for updates on the progress of the Florence Copper Project in our semi-weekly column, The Mining Brief.

By Frank Smith The San Manuel High School varsity baseball team is ready for another run at the state playoffs, where they lost in the quarter-finals last year. The Miners opened up the 2011 season with play in Florence at the Joe S. Padilla Tournament. In his 31st year at the helm, Head Coach Donnie Payne will look to improve on a record 13 – 11 overall and 8 – 6 in region play. San Manuel is projected to finish 4th in the region this year. The Miners lost six starters but will return three starters off last years team. Top Returners for the upcoming season are Seniors Daniel Padilla – 1st Base, Zac Dale - Short Stop, Tim Scott – Centerfield, Elfie Vigil – Pitcher, and Junior Alexander Smith – 2nd Base. Top Newcomers looking to contribute are Carlos Zazueta – Leftfield, Alex Borboa – Leftfield/1stBase, Demetrious Dietz – 3rd Base, John Ruiz – Catcher, Andy Monfred – Outfield, and Anthony Garcia – Outfield. Coach Payne said, “If we develop a couple of pitchers we will be competitive in our region. We have great leadership from our captains Daniel Padilla and

Elfie Vigil.” The tournament games were limited to five innings of play or one hour and a half time limit. The Miners took part in the four day tournament in Florence with San Manuel taking on Santa Cruz in the first game on March 2nd, taking the loss 4 – 0. Santa Cruz scored one run in the first inning, two runs in the second, and one run in the fifth inning. The Miners rallied late in the game in the fifth inning with the bases loaded with two outs but were unable to push across a run. The Miners scored no runs on two hits with two errors; the Dust Devils scored four runs on seven hits with no errors. On the mound was Elfie Vigil with John Ruiz catching. Vigil (0-1) allowed seven hits, two for doubles, four runs-four earned, recorded three strikeouts, and walked three batters. Offensively, Anthony Garcia went 1 for 1 with a double and a base on balls, and Demetrious went 1 for 2. On the second day of the tournament March 3rd, the Miners faced off against region foe Hayden talking a 3 – 1 loss. The Lobos pushed across a run in the first inning with the Miners not answering back until the fourth

By Frank Smith The 2011 edition of the San Manuel High school Lady Miners varsity softball team is geared up and ready to go for another run at the state playoffs, the ladies kicked off the season this past weekend at the 8th Annual Wrangler Classic in Wickenburg. Head Coach Deanne Brewer in her 12th year, along with assistants Brian Brewer, Rachel Franco, and Bethany Smith will try to better last year’s record of 18-8 overall and a 7-1 record to go with a 2nd place finish in the region behind Pusch Ridge. The Lady Miners also lost in second round at state playoffs to their nemesis Pusch Ridge. The ladies lost starters Teisha Renteria - starting third baseman. Teisha was a huge part of the team last year, she was a tough third baseman and four year letterman. She left big shoes to fill. The ladies also lost Brittney Garibay - starting outfielder. She was an excellent outfielder - quick. Ashley Paulsen - first baseman. Ashley worked hard to earn a starting position last year at first base. She had to live up to the legacy Mayra Tamayo left at first base. She did a great job. All of these girls were leaders both on and off the field.

It’s our time! Lady Miner Seniors looking to compete on the field are Top Row: Noel Medina, Merina Sandavol, Keirstene Vargas, Brittney LeGrand, Justeen Valdez, and Brianna DeChamp. Bottom Row: Brittney Smith, Arrianna Castaneda, and Jessica Castro. (Frank Smith photo)

By Frank Smith The San Manuel High School Miner Track team will take to the track on the right foot as Coach Al Trejo and assistants Maria Lopez (jumps), William Kotter (distance), and Steve Elmore (Weights) have prepared the Miners for the tough competition ahead of them in the 2011 season. Last year the Boys team were the 2A South Region Runner-Up Champions and the Girls team took 3rd place in the Region, the Miners had 23 athletes qualified for the State meet. The Miners lost 11 starters but will return 12 boys and four girls to this years squad. Top returners are Marcos Sierra

400m (placed 3rd at state last year) & relays, Wayne Newman - hurdles & jumps, Kyle Bowman - hurdles & jumps, Jesus Parra - hurdles & jumpsJonathan Duarte – distance, Paul Mortensen – Distance, Josue Alvarez- pole vault, Andre Sierra - middle distance & jumps, Victoria Castillo - Jumps (currently holds school record in Triple Jump), and Priscilla Enriquez – distance. The Top New comers are Nicole Predgo – sprints and Nathaniel Lopez - middle distance & relays. Coach Trejo said, “New regulations have been implemented for qualifying for

state. We now have automatic times/distances to qualify for state , as well as provisional times/distances. We no longer have regional qualifiers to get to state. Therefore we will have less athletes qualifying for state. I am hoping that 11 athletes qualify for state this year. We should be strong in the hurdles and middle distances for the boys team and strong in the weights for the girls team. We will have a region invitational that allows us to have a region champion and we should be one of the top two schools vying for that title in the boys competition.We have depth in the boys squad that will make us very competitive. We have

more girls this year than last, that should help us be more competitive in the girls competition. Overall , we have

instructed our athletes to give their best and finish strong.” The Miners hosted a meet, and competed in the Ray

Relays. (results will be in next week’s issue). The Miners will host a meet on March 17 with start time at 3:30.

M-SM Education Foundation to host second annual golf tourney

An airplane will take off from San Manuel Airport and will arrive at the first tee box flying low over the first group of golfers signaling the start of the tournament. The plane will then circle the golf course and return to the airport. The format for the tournament is a four-person scramble. The registration fee is $45 per person which includes golf,

cart and lunch. There will be plenty of prizes including a longest drive, closest to pin, split the pot and plenty of raffle tickets. Players will get a chance to participate in a silent auction of some very nice items including a foursome at the Omni Tucson National Golf Resort. Mulligans will be sold and a 30 foot string can be used to shorten your

putts. You may register at the Community School Office located at San Manuel High School. For more information contact Antonio Noriega, PGA at (520)483-0088 after 2:00 pm. The Mammoth-San Manuel Education Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) tax exempt organization dedicated to supporting students, staff

and teachers of the Mammoth-San Manuel Unified School District. Their mission is to furnish support for the school district’s efforts to provide the best education opportunities

for all students and staff. All proceeds from the tournament will benefit students of the district. Come out and support a good cause while having fun.

By Gene Hameroff Many comments heard by visitors of the previous Fall Art Show complimenting the quality and professionalism of the paintings, have spurred on the new committee for 2011. Immediately after the highly successful 2010 Fall Art

SaddleBrooke Fine Arts Guild to host Spring Art Show, for March 26 and 27Show, the two Co-Chairs for the 2011 Show, Vivian Sathre and Karen Brungardt started making plans for the next Spring Art Show to insure another successful event. The 2011 Spring Art Show will be held in the MountainView Ballroom from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on March 26 and 27. Potential plans are to expand to the Saguaro Room as more and more artists sign up to show their paintings and

other art. Media used by the artists include: watercolor, acrylic, oil, pastel, pencil drawings, mixed media, photography and even carving. This is the traditional Art Show, with a long history of presenting the finest creativity of SaddleBrooke residents, who are members of the Fine Arts Guild. Wonderful Spring has arrived, and you may be thinking of

dressing up your home with some of the beautiful pieces of original art. The Art Show will be the place to be. Mark your calendar now for Saturday and Sunday, March 26 and 27.

More than 200,000 ponytails have been donated to Pantene Beautiful Lengths since the program began in 2006. This week, your local reporter, Lana Jones, added one more to the total. Beautiful Lengths, working with HairUWeave, creates wigs from the donated ponytails. The wigs are then given to cancer patients through American Cancer Society wig banks.

Why not go to Beautiful Lengths?

Each wig takes at least six ponytails and three to four months to create. As of last summer, Pantene and HairUWeave had donated 6,300 wigs to the American Cancer Society. Learn more about the program at Pantene’s website: http://www.p a n t e n e . c o m / e n - u s /beautiful-lengths-cause/

catcher. Coach Brewer said, “Right now we have 12 permanent varsity players on the roster. We are keeping our eyes on a couple of girls with a lot of potential to fill the final three spots. I am looking forward to this year. I know we are going to be a state competitor. We have a lot of experience on this team. We have a couple of players who have already signed to play college ball next year. We have great leadership from the upper classmen - as you notice there are plenty of them. They have played together for a lot of years and many of them have played club ball, which has helped our program immensely.” The Lady Miners did not fare so well in Wickenburg on March 4th and 5th in a very tough invitational with several larger schools taking part, but they did stay competitive. In the first game of the tournament, the ladies went up against last years Wrangler Classic champions in Sahuarita facing a very solid pitcher for the Lady Mustangs losing 5 – 1 in six innings. Brittney LeGrand was in the circle with Jessica Castro catching. In game two for the Lady Miners did not get any easier as the ladies faced last years 2A State Champions in Willcox losing 5 – 2 in six innings. The Lady Miners took a 2 – 1 lead late in the game but the Cowgirls came back taking advantage of several San Manuel errors to take the lead and the game. LeGrand was pitching with Castro catching. In the third game of the tournament, the Lady Miners faced off against Valley Vista picking up a much needed 7 – 4 win. Valley Vista took an early lead, capitalizing on several walked batters but

On Wednesday March 2, the Lady Cougars of Mountain Vista School defeated a good Ray Bearcats team 3 to 2. Cougar coaches and fans are optimistic that this team can be a contender for the league championship. The Lady Cougars traveled to Eloy on Monday March 7. Information on that game was unavailable at press time.

the Lady Miners battled back to over come the lead and take the win in four innings. LeGrand was pitching with Castro catching with Justeen coming in to relieve. On the second day of the tournament in bracket play, the ladies faced off against another tough opponent in Lake Havasu, taking the loss 12 – 1. Lake Havasu took the lead early and never looked back. The ladies utilized three pitchers with LeGrand, Valdez, and Carly Pena with Castro catching. In the final game of the tournament – game five for the ladies, San Manuel took on Dysart almost getting the win as the Lady Miners held a two run lead after scoring two runs in a California tie breaker, Dysart came up to bat-scored a run and hit a two run home run to end the game with the Lady Miners taking the loss 6 – 4. Emmy Clark was in the circle with Castro catching. Coach Brewer said, “This tournament is a good tournament for us. We are one of three 2A schools attending. The rest of the 24 are 3A, 4A, and 5A teams. It is an opportunity to face good teams early in the season and see what we need to work on as a team. We faced one of the toughest teams in the tournament in the first game, Sahuarita who just took second in the CDO tournament the weekend prior. We held our own, allowing only five runs - on two homeruns by the pitcher for Sahuarita. (needless to say we walked her at her next at bat). “We should have come out of that tournament 4-1, rather than 1-4 in my opinion. We had costly base running mistakes that took us out of at least two games, not to mention several defensive errors. Our starting pitcher (Brittney LeGrand) had trouble finding her zone and we had to bring in all of our other pitchers. Our short stop (Noelle Medina) suffered what was thought to be an ankle injury in the second game and played until she couldn’t walk - which turns out was actually a pre-existing condition that is being treated by doctors now. She is expected back on the field by Thursday. On a good note, we had players that were able to fill these spots and we still held our own in most of the games.” The Lady Miners hosted Santa Cruz on Monday; the game with San Miguel today was cancelled, but the Lady Miners will start region play on Thursday as they travel to Hayden for a 4 p.m. start.

By John Hernandez We have all heard the expression “it’s a dog eat dog world.” On Saturday, March 19, your dog will literally be able to eat a dog - that is if you enter it in the “fastest hot dog eating dog” category at this year’s Elks Dog Show. Besides eating hot dogs, your dog can participate in 20 categories including hairiest dog, highest jumping dog, best costumed dog, and best retriever. Entry fees for the contests are $2 per category or you can enter all 20 for $14. Last year’s event was a hit with dog owners and the audience had a lot of fun! Hamburgers, hot dogs (not just for the canine competitors), French fries and drinks will be served. The first event starts at 10 a.m. Proceeds from the event go to the Elks Charity. The Second Annual Elks

Canines, snakes and Elks? Call the Cops!

Dog Show will have the Pinal County Sheriff’s Department K-9 Unit giving a demonstration of the crime fighting skills and efficiency of their dogs. There will also be eight rattlesnake avoidance training classes available during the day beginning at 8 a.m. The weather is starting to warm up and snakes will be out soon, so it is a good time to have your dog trained. Cost of the class is $35 which is a significant savings for this type of training. Jay Smith is a professional dog trainer. He is an obedience trainer as well as teaching dogs rattlesnake and poisonous frog avoidance. Watching Jay as he takes the dogs through the training exercises is interesting and entertaining. His interaction

with the dogs and the rattlesnakes is amazing. To pre-register for the training and set up a time contact Jay at dogsattheriver@gmail.com or (520)709-2203. Last year’s rules are in effect. All dogs must be vaccinated and leashed (no retractable leashes allowed). Participants must be 12 years old or older. Children under 12 must have parents accompanying them. Don’t forget, you are responsible for your dog’s droppings. For more information contact Sam Pyritz at (520) 385-2669. You can also pick up an entry form at the San Manuel Elks Lodge. This should be a fun and entertaining event and the proceeds go to helping people in our community.
