Abraham C. YanezApril 1, 1923 - June 30, 2012

Editor: On June 20, the Board of Supervisors adopted a fi scal year 2012-13 budget of $334,515,835. This is a budget that is six percent lower than last year’s budget. You will be pleased to note that the tax rate has dropped by fi ve percent, or .20 cents to $3.79 per $100.00 of assessed valuation. Tax relief is always good to help our middle class working families and all Pinal County taxpayers. One of the big questions we have been facing over the past two years was the potential impact of a state prisoner shift. This would have taken state

inmates with a year or less on their sentence and placed them in county facilities. This legislation, if put into effect, would have cost Pinal County taxpayer over $3 million a year. I am pleased to tell you that through our efforts of explaining the massive cost of this legislation to legislative leaders and Governor Jan Brewer, the prisoner shift was rescinded. I give a sincere thank you to our state leaders for their help to stop this bad piece of legislation. In the past four years, this county has been in the situation of many counties across the

Letter to the Editor: Rios reports on new budgetnation—we have been forced to do more with less. We have had to cut back on some services for the residents and we have had to let go of some workers while existing employees pick up their duties. I feel it is time to reward many of these employees who have made sacrifi ces over the past four years with a small pay increase. I will be proposing to my fellow supervisors, in the next board meeting, to grant a two and half percent increase to any employee making $75,000 a

year or less. Since our budget numbers are looking better than we had expected, Pinal County has the capacity to give these deserving employees a pay increase without any increase to our budget. Last month I proposed a one percent pay increase which was effectively derailed by Clerk of the Court Chad Roche and others for a more expensive merit-based system. I would like to wish all of you a very happy and healthy Fourth of July holiday. Sincerely,

/s/ Pete RiosVice-Chairman Pinal

By Arletta Sloan Today, America has officially turned 236 years of age. I, like many Americans, know this because I looked it up on the Internet and found out that the United States of America turned 234 years of age, officially, in 2010. It was on July 4, 1776 when the Declaration of Independence was officially adopted. The document was publicly read on July 8th. Have you read it? With so many people arguing over the meaning with which the documents the founding fa-thers signed their names to were imbued, one would think that every American had memorized every last word of not only the Declaration of Independence but the entire Constitution, as well. Yet, sadly, most Americans are no longer exposed to the words in school, much less taught the history that explains their meaning. Do you celebrate the 4th of July, the anniversary of our independence, aka: the birthday of America? What are you cel-ebrating? What will you do with your time, in honor of the day the Declaration of Independence was officially adopted? I’m going to share some words with you, now, that changed the lives of everyone on an entire continent and finally the face of the world. They are words with power, bold and decisive, and not like anything you will be lead to believe were written, should you spend your time listening to people who want to ban prayer, the pledge of alle-giance, or the American flag in schools. Or, should you listen to those who want to jail five year old boys for kissing five year old girls; or, who believe that people who are expressing their religious freedom by choosing not to vote or take blood into their bodies are less citizens than those who do both. Or, who or who want to burn books for daring to be part of a history that is not clean and neat, but, are our past that we must continue to build the future upon. As Ben Franklin said “ A great empire, like a great cake, is most easily diminished at the edges.” Similarly, “As we must account for every idle word, so

must we account for every idle silence,” something Ben Frank-lin is also quoted as having said. The meaning of words gets distorted, when they are not paid strict attention to and if history is not learned from. It is not enough to hear someone else say that they were told that the words meant … You have to read them for yourself and see what meaning you glean from them. “When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have con-nected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind re-quires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.” Now, if someone tells you that, later, these same men wrote the Constitution with the view-point that God does not exist or has no place in the hearts of Americans, you can proudly tell them that you know this is not true, because you read the beginning of the Declaration of Independence, where it is amply proven that they did see God as a worthy person to consider and, to whatever extent possible, to emulate. If they tell you that the two are very different documents, let it be known that six of the same men signed both, including Ben Franklin. He signed the Decla-ration of Independence June 11, 1776; the Peace of Paris (treaty of Paris) in September 3, 1783 and the Constitution in Septem-ber 17, 1787. The same man, working toward the same goal, for over a decade is a man who knows what he was working for and sure of what he is signing. What these men did not see as worthy is for any human beings to be forced by their govern-ment to worship, or not worship, in some way other than they, the people, were ready to do of their own good conscience. What else is mentioned? Why, I believe it is a decent respect for mankind. Now, you may jump up and shout how the founding fathers were slave owners, or how some did not attend religious meetings, or

Guest Editorial: Happy Birthday, America!anything else you wish to jump up and shout, but, before you begin, remember one important fact. These men were not speaking about their own personal lives. This is not their autobiography. They were not despots seek-ing to place their own ideals as a heavy yoke upon the backs of their fellowmen, when they wrote these words; but, they were persons working toward setting aside their own petty desires and expressing the ide-als that they truly believed all should strive to achieve. Decent respect for mankind is an ideal, something to reach for. It is about looking past

self-interest and thinking of the greater good of all. Yes, even for those who you would prefer not to think of at all, because you don't like their coloring, or the fact that they were born somewhere else, or the way they proudly display a flag on their bike on the way to school, or the way they say a prayer before a math test, or the sex they are, or what you suspect them of doing in privacy, or what you are sure they do in broad daylight be-cause they knock on your door to tell you about it. Look around you. See all the people you like? See all the ones you do not? They are all mankind and if you are stand-

ing on American soil, you have just been informed that you are to have a decent respect for mankind, because America was founded on principles which are all related to this one basic goal. Everything in the two most im-portant documents of American history is written to express the desire for decent respect for mankind from all, the hope of achieving it, and the plan by which it might best be achieved even despite differences of sex, religion, ethnic background, work background or any other differences which might occur. Note, it does not say “decent respect for mankind who are citizens of the United States of

America” or “decent respect for those of mankind who will vote when we want them to” or “de-cent respect for mankind unless they are committing some sin of which we do not approve.” It says “a decent respect for the opinions of mankind.” The difference being that it singles out no one. Yet, it makes no promises, either, beyond re-spect. That is what acting decent and respectful of other human beings consists of, primarily: balancing the right to have your own opinion, language, religion, lifestyle, etc. with the rights of others to have theirs. The Declaration of Indepen-

By John Hernandez The array of solar panels at Mountain Vista School in Oracle is now supplying a good percentage of electrical power to the school. Ron Small, maintenance director for the school, confirmed that the array has been turned on. The 70 feet wide by 30 feet deep 30 kilowatt three phase photovoltaic system is expected to save between $6,000-$8,000 per year in

electrical costs for the school. Besides providing electricity the panels provide a large shaded area which will be utilized as an outdoor learning environment. The solar power system was financed at no cost to the school district. The money came from a Federal stimulus energy grant that was part of the American Recovery Act of 2009. It was administered by the Arizona School Facilities

Board (ASFB). “We are happy to have it,” said Ron. “We would like to thank ACE Solar, Bradley Electric, and the ASFB. The contractors were a joy to work with. AIMS’ testing was going on while they were working and they made sure they did not disrupt the students. They were courteous and professional.” He added, “We would also like to thank the BIA and SCIP for their help.”

The San Manuel Sea Lions, undefeated for the last five years, won 17 out of 24 events at the Central Arizona Swim League relay meet at Anthem at Merrill Ranch near Florence on Sat. June 23, 2012.

Although no team scores were kept, the Sea Lions competed aggressively against the Coolidge Dolphins, who won six events, and the home team, the Parkside Piranhas, who won one.

“The Sea Lion swimmers had some great swims, and I like the addition of the new, fun relays,” said Sea Lion Head Coach Alex Gort. The swimmers enjoyed practicing with the noodles (foam tubes) this week for the Noodle Relays, and it was fun to see our noodle relays win in all age groups,”.

Each swimmer was allowed to compete in four relays, and Evan Apuron, Saul Noriega,

Darien Apuron, Raquel Ortiz and Will Newman won all four. Ortiz was named the Sea Lion Beast of the Week as the anchor leg (final) swimmer in both IM and freestyle relays who came from behind to clinch the win. Gort said she “has a great work ethic in practice and a bright future in swimming.” Gianna Sweeney was on three winning relays. “I did better than I expected,” Gianna said. Gort said both Gianna and Will both “show a love and dedication for the sport that is great to see as a coach.” For more information, contact Jeanine Apuron at 520-385-9854.The following swam on winning relays:Ashlee Parker, 7 (Breaststroke, Noodle)Genevieve Estrada, 8 (Medley, Butterfly)Tabitha Kellam, 8 (Medley,

By Chase KampSpecial to the Miner Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu and five other hopefuls for the office talked policy and tossed criticisms at the Pinal County Deputies Association Debate on June 28, 2012 in Florence. The candidates jabbed Babeu for attracting controversial high-profile media attention and said they would improve PCSO policy, prompting Babeu to argue the candidates only aimed to attack him and had no concrete plans of their own. Candidates participating in the debate were Babeu, Kevin Taylor Jack McClaren, Ty Morgan, Tom Bearup and Glen Milsaps. Babeu leaned hard on his accomplishments in office, framing himself as a champion for his employees. He said he has fought the Board of Supervisors for wage increases and greater numbers. “I’ve fought to maintain salaries for our staff for competitiveness and to retain employees,” he said. However, the other candidates took swipes at PCSO’s structure and the number of available patrol deputies. Independent candidate Ty Morgan argued PCSO has too many of what he called “inessential high-dollar management jobs.” “We need to put that money into patrol,” he argued. Jack McClaren, who currently serves as Constable for the Apache Junction Justice Court, was most critical

of Babeu’s anti-cartel efforts in southern Pinal. McClaren argued that patrol officers are being taken off their beats to combat smuggling in the Vekol Valley. “We need to be in a supporting role down there, because we have drug problems right here in our own backyard,” he argued. “We need deputies here to answer your 911 calls.” Babeu agreed. “Right down the in San Tan Valley there is 83,000 people and 46 patrolmen,” he said. However, Babeu denied that neighborhood patrol was being thinned because of drug operations, saying PCSO has collaborated with other agencies to take on cartels. “That doesn’t go on,” he said. “I’ve met personally with police chiefs from other agencies to have them be a part of our narcotics task force.” Debate questions were gathered anonymously from PCSO employees, some of which inquired about employee policies like shift lengths. “Deputies have been pulled from the roadways, and I know this because they’ve been forced to work a 12-hour shift,” McClaren said. “We need more of them so we can create four ten-hour shifts.” Babeu defended the shift structure currently in place, saying it proved to have the best response times. “We went to the 12-hour shifts because we tried a number of different patrol models and we got the best response time from that,” he said.

By John Hernandez It’s very nearly a done deal. Permitting should soon be approved by the Pima County Department of Environmental Quality for the Oracle Ridge Mine which sits above Oracle on the Pima side of the county line. On Thursday, June 28, the Pima County Department of Environmental Quality

(PDEQ) held a public hearing concerning the air quality installation and operating permit for Oracle Ridge Mining, LLC. The meeting was held at Coronado K-8 School in Catalina. Around 12 people including members of Oracle Ridge Mining and PDEQ were in the audience. The meeting was scheduled to last one hour beginning at

5:30 p.m. The people in attendance were asked if they wanted to make a comment or ask questions. No one made a comment. One lady in the audience asked a question about what type of chemicals and pollutants would be released into the air. It was explained that the crushing and milling processes would be done

underground. There would be minimal if any pollution released to the surface air. As no one else wished to speak, the meeting ended. The Pima County officials and some representatives from Oracle Ridge Mining waited until 6:30 in case other people came in wishing to comment. No one came and the hearing was officially ended.

Members of the Department of Environmental Quality indicated that they did not anticipate any problems with Oracle Ridge Mining’s application and felt it would be approved. In all the public hearings they have held in Pima County, there have been no negative comments made. All the comments will

be analyzed and discussed and the questions from the public will be answered. They will then make their decision. This is one step closer to the Oracle Ridge Mine opening. They estimate that the mine could employ about 200 people when they are in full production. The mine could open by late 2013.

Oracle Ridge Mine soon to get permit

The San Manuel Sea Lions hosted a swim meet against the Florence Sharks and the San Tan Valley Barracudas on Saturday. The Sea Lions won the meet scoring 1307 points while Florence finished second with 235 points and San Tan Valley finished with 118 points. Sea Lions swimmers won 70 of the 88 events and the outcome of the meet was never in question. The younger boys looked exceptionally good at the meet. The 6 and Under Boys 4 x 25 Free Relay Team of Ethan Kellam, Mason Stewart and Rocky Andrade broke the team record by over 25 seconds. Both 7-8 Boys Relay (4 x 25 Medley and 4 x 25 Free) teams consisting of Evan Apuron, Brian Mulholland, and Riley

Stewart also set new team records by considerable margins. Coach Alex Gort contended that breaking those records was a big deal since two of the individuals that held the previous records have moved on to become a State Champions in USA Swimming “The Sea Lions are a great swim team, and the future looks even better”. In addition to the relays, three individual swimmers set new team records at the meet. In the 7-8 boys age group, Evan Apuron broke the 25 yard Breaststroke record with a time of 23.88 beating the old record held by Will Newman by more than a second. In the 9-10 Girls age group, Gianna Sweeney improved 3 team records that she held in the 100 Individual Medley

Sea Lions win at home meet(1:17.5), 50 Backstroke (36.23), and 100 Freestyle (1:09.5). In the 11- 12 boys age group, Will Newman broke all 6 of his individual records setting new marks in the 100 IM (1:09.8), 50 Butterfly (30.49), 50 Backstroke (31.21), 100 Free (1:01.9), 50 Breaststroke (39.90), and 50 Freestyle (28.19). The following swimmers swam the maximum number of races allowed and achieved personal best times in each race: Avery Jennings, Katarina Corona, Mikael Corona, Rocky Andrade, Emerik Zovko, Ethan Kellam, Will Newman, Michael Garcia,

Taylor Woods. Against some tough competition, some swimmers won all eight events that they swam. Tabitha Kellam, Evan Apuron, Gianna Sweeney, Will Newman, and Michael Sanchez each swam and won the maximum number of events allowed. The following swimmers had first place finishes on Saturday:Malayah Renteria, 6, (Fly);Ethan Kellam, 6, (Fly, Back, Free, Free Relay);Rocky Andrade, 6, (Free Relay);Mason Stewart, 6,(Free Relay);

Compiled by John Hernandez The town of San Manuel was founded in 1953. It would be years before the schools and shopping centers would all be completed. The year 1956 was important in San Manuel’s

By John HernandezSan Manuel High School: The beginning The new year of 1956 was an exciting time for the young high school aged kids in San Manuel. They were fi nally getting a “real” high school. For a few years, they had been attending classes in barracks type buildings. On Mon. morning January 30, 227 students and 10 teachers and administrative heads offi cially held the fi rst day of classes at the site now known as San Manuel High School. The San Manuel Miner newspaper reported that the students had been released early the preceding Fri. at the old barracks so they could carry all their books over the “dusty desert roads” to the new school. It was not a one-day moving business. Faculty and students and a corps of volunteer civilian workers labored throughout the weekend to make the opening of the school possible. The opening of the school had previously been delayed a week due to a disagreement between the union workers and the contractors using non-union workers. The San Manuel Miner

described the new school, “There are three wings with walkways in the center. The north wing includes the cafeteria, study halls, administration offi ces and music room. The center wing is devoted to four classrooms. The south wing houses the science laboratory, domestic arts and two classrooms, commercial department and typing room. The newspaper also told their readers that: Mary Hawes of 919 5th Ave. won the distinction of being fi rst to make use of the fi rst aid quarters and fi rst aid kit. She sustained a slight ankle sprain and was attended by her classmate Kay Masterson. 1956 would also be the fi rst year that the high school would have a football fi eld though they would have to wait another year for the gymnasium to be built. The fi rst game ever played at San Manuel High School (now Fred Littau Field) was against the Hayden High School Lobos. The Miners won 6 – 0. Hank Barbarick was the head coach. The inaugural kickoff was made by Ed Quick. He would also score the fi rst

Memories of Magma, San Manuel and the Tri-Communitytouchdown in the stadium and the only score of the game. Ed rushed for 52 yards on 8 carries before hurting his knee in the second quarter. Fred Roybal also ran for 137 yards on 23 carries. Fred taught and coached at San Manuel for many years and is now a member of the School Board. Sadly Ed Quick passed away this year. He is remembered by

many as one of the best athletes out of San Manuel High School. There were 27 students from the Class of ’56 graduating from San Manuel High School. The Valedictorian was Kay Webb, the Salutatorian was Jamie Fae Gardner (Jamie Dicus). Peggy Patterson Clement was a sophomore during the 1955-56 school year. She remembers the excitement of the change

in schools and the anxiety of moving to a new school and town. Like all the people in San Manuel at the time, Peggy came from another town. Most of the residents came from towns that had a mining history. If you think about it, it was a unique time as all these young people entering high school had left their friends in other towns and had to make new ones in a

strange new town still in its growing stages. Peggy would be a member of the fi rst graduating class to go through all four years at San Manuel High school, the class of 1958. I don’t know if Peggy was a “domestic artist” but she writes well and her remembrance is an interesting and entertaining story about growing up in San Manuel. Her story follows.

Miner Memories: 1956history as Magma Copper began its fi rst major production with the fi rst stopes undercut at the mine and the start up of the smelter operations. More families were moving to the area as good paying jobs were available and more businesses were opening. Many of these families were coming from other mining towns in Arizona and around the country. The fi rst of the year would mark the opening of San Manuel High School. To help salute the fi rst graduating Class of 1956 and to let those that were a part of that time walk down memory lane we have collected some of the news and popular culture of the

times. In 1956 Dwight Eisenhower was President. In November he would be re-elected defeating Adlai Stevenson. He would sign the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956 which would result in the construction of 41,000 miles of interstate highways over a 20 year period. It was the largest public works project in U.S. history at the time. The inter-state highway system would change the face of America. The Middle East was in the news with the nationalization of the Suez Canal by Egypt. Israel would attack Egypt followed by Britain and France bombing Cairo. Pakistan became Islamic Republic. Alabama bus segregation laws declared unconstitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court. Martin Luther King Jr.’s home is bombed in Montgomery, Alabama. Fidel Castro and other Cuban exiles living in Mexico land in Cuba, marking the start of the second Cuban revolution. Warsaw Pact troops invade

Hungary during the October Hungarian Revolution. The United States carries out H Bomb tests at the Bikini Atoll. A new rock and roll dance craze sweeps the world and a young musician named Elvis Presley releases his fi rst hit song. SPORTS• National Football League – The New York Giants defeated the Chicago Bears 47 – 7. There was no Super Bowl then.• The Oklahoma Sooners were named national champions.• NBA – The Philadelphia Warriors defeated the Fort Wayne Pistons (who?) 4 games to 1. The Pistons would move from Fort Wayne, Indiana to Detroit, Michigan in 1957.• NCAA Basketball – The University of San Francisco led by center Bill Russell and guard K.C. Jones defeated Iowa 83 – 71. Russell and Jones would lead the United States National team to a gold medal at the ’56 Olympics,

By Peggy Patterson Clement Class of ‘58 I moved to San Manuel on October 30, 1955. I was from Morenci High School and a sophomore. When I saw that we had to go to high school in the barracks at the old trailer court, I thought my Dad had ruined me for life. I cried for a week.

I was lucky, however, because I got there after the kids had to ride the bus to the high school in Florence. Our class of 1958 was the first four-year graduating class to go to San Manuel High in San Manuel. There were only dirt roads into San Manuel. Spit wads flew and we passed notes

between classes through holes in the walls. Our coolers had these long ducks and during the winter everything got thrown up when the turned them on for the hotter months everything flew out along with dirt and dust. There were no sidewalks, so when it rained we walked in the mud between classes.

Peggy Patterson Clement shares her memories

Recent reunion at Bingham Ranch leads to stories of San Manuel, remembrances of years past. (John Hernandez photo)

There were no school busses for the kids in San Manuel, so we walked to the trailer court to school and walked to the San Manuel Cafe for lunch or brought lunch or went home for lunch. There was no cafeteria. If you got lucky, you could hook up with someone who had a car and didn’t have to walk. The boys had to practice football at the old community center. We played only JV teams from other schools. Basketball court was where the guys swept off the rocks on the ground and had a hoop to shoot at. We got to choose the colors of the school, name the Miners, Copperleaf for the annual, the school paper. Since everyone was new, we all wore our letterman sweaters and jackets from the school we came from. We called ourselves the school of many colors. Then we finally got to buy San Manuel sweaters and jackets. We had sock hop dances at First Ave School. We got to start in the new High School in Jan. of 1956.

The girls were not allowed to wear pants, and dresses had to be three inches below the knee. We were so proud of our new school. The class of 1956 was the first graduating class. It has been 56 years and still as of this day, the classes of 1956, 1957, 1958 and 1959 have remained very close knit. We went through a lot together. No one was more popular or more important than the other. We were all friends and would do anything for anyone. There are too many stories to tell. A few days after we started into the new school, some boys were horsing around in the parking lot of the school in a car with a gun. It went off and killed Annie Flores on the front steps of the school. That was one of the worst days that I can remember. It affected the whole school and no one really blamed the boys. That was the type of kids we were. There were no drugs and only a few went across the river for a beer bust. That was probably the most trouble we got into. I personally never got to go to a beer bust. HA! We only had the drive in theater and dances at the old community center on Saturday nights for entertainment. No one ever thought of going to Tucson. It was too far and dirt roads at that. Parents would open up their homes for us to play records,

dance, have cokes and chips. No one would be invited; we would put the word out that the party would be at someone’s house. It was a real treat if we could get someone to take us to Mammoth to the drive in theater. My Junior year they built the football field. The boys for practice had to help work on the field. But we still didn’t have the gym and the boys had to play on the outside courts down by the tennis courts. We got to play other schools at home. It was not much fun when the wind blew the dirt. It would sting us cheerleaders’ legs and get in the boys eyes. When they were starting to build the gym, I would walk with Superintendent and check out the progress every day. That gym was the most important thing in his life at the time. He knew how much ever brick cost and was so proud of the Miner design on the front of the gym. He had me design the room for the cheerleader to practice in with mirror all around so we could see how we looked. Before that we practiced in front of the cafeteria windows. We finally got the gym built my Senior year. My husband, Eddie Clement (‘58), made the first two points in the first game played in the gym. I look back, see how much has changed over the years and wonder if anyone ever appreciated the school like we did.

Both Russell and Jones are in the NBA Hall of Fame. • Major League Baseball – The New York Yankees defeated the Brooklyn Dodgers 4 games to 3 to win the World Series. Don Larsen pitched the only perfect game in World Series history and was named MVP of the series. Mickey Mantle was named the Most Valuable Player after winning the Triple Crown,

batting average (.353), home runs (52) and runs batted in (130). Yankee pitcher Don Newcombe was the CY Young Award winner.

• Cost of ground coffee per pound: 85 cents ENTERTAINMENT If you were a teenager living in San Manuel in 1956, you could really say “there is nothing to do here.” Back then there was no internet, no Facebook, no video games, DVD players, MP3s, CDs, cell phones, boom boxes, xm radio, satellite TV, or iPods. How did we ever survive? Televisions were black and white. Some of the teenagers may have had transistor radios but AM radio reception wasn’t the best. Many kids had record players or access to their parents hi fi player. Rock and

Roll music was becoming popular and in 1956 some of the best artists that would influence the future of rock music were becoming known. There was also the drive-in theater that had opened up in San Manuel in 1955. Movies were popular and the average price of admission was around 50¢. The drive-in became a popular place to be especially on weekends.TOP TELEVISION SHOWS & TELEVISION TRIVIA• As The World Turns and Edge of Night premiered on CBS as the first half-hour soap operas. Prior to this, soaps were only 15 minutes long. As The World Turns ran for 54 years! It was my mother’s favorite soap.

• Ernie Kovacs was the host of NBC’s Tonight Show on Monday and Tuesdays.• The 1939 MGM movie The Wizard of Oz is shown on American television for the first time. The viewing audience was estimated at 45 million.• The Price is Right makes its debut. Other new shows include My Friend Flicka, Queen for a Day, The Gale Storm Show, The Steve Allen Show and Playhouse 90.• Shows that ended their run in 1956 included The Cisco Kid, Jungle Jim starring Johnny Weismuller, The Jimmy Durante Show and The Honeymooners. • Shows you should remember unless your memory is gone: Gunsmoke, Howdy Doody, Kukla, Fran,

and Ollie, Jack Benny Show, George Burns and Gracie Allen Show, What’s My Line, Cheyenne, Annie Oakley, Milton Berle Show, Candid Camera, Captain Kangaroo, The Mickey Mouse Club and American Bandstand. • The top three rated shows in 1955-56 seasons in order: $64,000 Question, I Love Lucy, The Ed Sullivan Show POPULAR MOTION PICTURES The Top ten grossing films of 1956 were:• The Ten Commandments – Charlton Heston, Yul Brynner, and Anne Baxter• Around The World In Eighty Days – David Niven, Cantinflas and Shirley MacLaine• Giant – Rock Hudson, Elizabeth Taylor and

James Dean. This was James Dean’s last film as he was killed in a car accident. He was nominated for an Academy award posthumously but did not win.• War and Peace – Audrey Hepburn and Henry Fonda• The King & I – Deborah Kerr and Yul Brynner• The Searchers – John Ford’s classic western starring John Wayne with Jeffrey Hunter and a young Natalie Wood• Bus Stop – Marilyn Monroe• The Girl Can’t Help It – Jayne Mansfield, Tom Ewell and Edmund O’brien• High Society – Bing Crosby, Grace Kelly and Frank Sinatra• Written On The Wind – Rock Hudson, Lauren Bacall Robert Stack and Dorothy Malone Elvis Presley made his motion picture debut in Love Me Tender. Godzilla made his first appearance on American screens with Raymond Burr edited into the original Japanese movie. There were a couple of other classic science fiction films that came out in 1956. Invasion of the Body Snatchers (I swear some of my teachers were pod people), Forbidden Planet and Earth vs the Flying Saucers. Humphrey Bogart would appear in his last film The Harder They Fall. He would die of esophageal cancer in January 1957. MUSIC 1956 was a great year in Rock and roll history. Elvis Presley released Heartbreak Hotel and it becomes his first number #1 hit. He would make his national debut on television and in the motion picture Love Me Tender. Elvis would debut his song Hound Dog on the Milton Berle Show causing a controversy with his “suggestive” hip movements. Hound Dog would be another #1 hit and before the year was over, Elvis would have nine records on Billboards top 100 list. It would be a record until the Beatles arrive in 1964. One of the greatest voices

of all time Roy Orbison signed with Sun Records. Buddy Holly would write That’ll Be the Day while recording for Decca Records but would release it in 1957 after leaving Decca. Buddy got the idea from the line “that’ll be the day” that John Wayne’s character repeated in the 1956 movie The Searchers. Carl Perkins “the King of Rockabilly” wrote and recorded Blue Suede Shoes which made the R & B charts making him the first country artist to appear on the R & B charts. The song would be #1 on the country charts and be recorded by Elvis Presley and Jerry Lee Lewis. The biggest single hits of the year were:• Hound Dog – Elvis Presley• Heartbreak Hotel – Elvis Presley• Don’t Be Cruel – Elvis Presley• The Great Pretender – The Platters• Blueberry Hill – Fats Domino Other songs that topped the charts:• Memories are Made of This – Dean Martin• Singing the Blues – Guy Mitchell• Ain’t Got No home – Clarence “Frogman” Henry• I Walk the Line – Johnny Cash• Allegheny Moon – Patti Page• Roll Over Beethoven – Chuck Berry• Tutti Frutti – Little Richard• Long Tall Sally – Little Richard• Why Do Fools Fall In Love – Frankie Lymon• In the Still of the Night – Five Satins• A Tear Fell – Teresa Brewer• See You Later Alligator – Bill Haley and the Comets• Que Sera, Sera, Whatever Will Be, Will Be – Doris Day. This song debuted in the Alfred Hitchcock film “The Man Who Knew Too Much starring Doris Day and James Stewart. It won the Academy Award for Best Original Song that year. A lot of classic songs and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame members on this list and I hope a lot of good memories.

dence goes on to say: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--” This, of course, is the crux of my argument, above. If we are all created equal, then, we all have the right to act as free Men and steer our own course, up to the point of it causing harm to others and there, before the harm occurs, we must, by mu-tual agreement, cease. Hence, why it is okay to drink, today, if you can do it responsibly; but, bound to get you arrested or have your one year token removed from your intoxicated fingers if you fail. Now, immigration is a big is-sue; especially as of late. Some feel that illegal immigrants should automatically be granted citizenship and others feel that they should automatically be deported and take their children with them. How did Americans get to be Americans in the first place? They came into someone else's land, as citizens of another country, declared themselves free of that other country and so became their own nation. They, at that time, declared that all men have the unalienable rights of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. That is a very valid argument for the side that believes that once you sneak in, you should be able to stay. Yet, they did not sneak in, these Americans who made their declaration. They were transported by others, much as the Africans and Chinese were later; or, they were born here, much like the American Indians had been doing since long before any of the rest of us arrived. Many say that immigrants should not have to pass a citi-zenship test that most Ameri-cans would fail. They say it is not fair. Why should they have to do something harder than Americans born into the country will do? I say it is because Americans are, in general, people who are 1) the descendants of those who had far harder tests to endure, to found and build this nation; 2) descendants of those who were

born here before it ever was a nation or a colony, and who managed to survive the found-ing and building of it all; 3) the descendants of people who were forced to be in America and managed to survive their enslavement or who were tricked with lying promises of a better life and then managed to survive intolerable conditions wherein they had less rights than the slaves, even; or, 4) they are the descendants of those who came over and took the appropriate tests, got the appro-priate shots and jumped through the appropriate hoops. Yet, I also say that when one is about the upholding of laws regarding the decency of Man, none of that matters a whit. A person injured is a person injured, and a house robbed is a house robbed. To arrest the vic-tim of a brutal crime, for being an illegal immigrant, rather than to arrest the person who victim-ized them, is to act against the ideals expressed by the found-ing fathers, who obviously had very little issue with people showing up and wishing to be citizens of a country, so long as they make bold and hon-est declaration of their decent intents; but, who had obvious issues with tyranny. Continuing, the Declaration of Independence reads: “That to secure these rights, Govern-ments are instituted among Men, deriving their just pow-ers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Pru-dence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and ac-cordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accus-tomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursu-ing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and

to provide new Guards for their future security.--Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government.” Don't take my word for it, because, I might have my own agenda and I might put my own spin on the interpretation. Rath-er, go and read it for yourself. Besides, there is more to it than what I have quoted here. This is one URL where it can be found online: http://tinyurl.com/3padsj There are hundreds of others, which means there is very little excuse for not having read it. I quoted what was necessary to make my points. One of which is that the Declaration of Independence is a beautiful and inspiring document, even if one is, like me, of the belief that one should strive to be no part of this world. It is impor-tant to read for those reasons, alone; because, it does speak simple truths, succinctly and effectively. The other point is that it is the duty of Americans, as citizens who are all dwelling in the same country together and under its laws, to affect what is best for each other.

Americans must strive to strengthen their fellow Ameri-cans, through acts of kindness, tolerance, love and respect; or, America herself will perish. How can a government of the people survive, if the people tear each other down? “A man wrapped up in himself makes a very small bundle.” said Ben Franklin. Honor the Declaration of Independence, this Independence day. Go out and have your barbecue, free swim at the public pool, or whatever fun you have planned. There were Americans born before you declared you should have the right to your fun. Yet, they also declared that one should respect the pursuits of

others. That is what the Declaration of Independence is truly about and that is what we should cel-ebrate, as citizens of a country where the founding fathers did something so unique as to make the attempt to found a country based not on greed, oppression, tyranny or fear but based on the

ideals of human decency – not just today, on the anniversary of the document and the birthday of a nation, but, every single day of our lives.

A grateful school ...

Mountain Vista School Principal Dennis Blauser, right, and Vice Principal Nannette Soule, left, presented Dr. Nancy Dill with a certificate of appre-ciation for her generous donation of paint for the Mountain Vista Gym. Dill read a letter to the editor from district resident Molly Steffens following the unsuccessful bid for a bond election and was so moved by it that she contacted Steffens and offered to help raise the funds to paint the gym. In the end, Dill purchased all the paint herself. A plaque now resides just inside the door telling all about her donation and in whose names it was made. (Jennifer Carnes photos)
