Rachel Leigh White co-defendant in the San Manuel Bank of the West embezzlement case has entered the Federal Prison system. Ms. White was sentenced to one year and one day for her participation in the theft of $687,000 along with Edna Barcelo Boger. The Federal Bureau of Prisons reports that she is incarcerated at Victorville Federal Correctional Complex in Adelanto, California. Adelanto is located approximately 85 miles northeast of Los Angeles. Victorville is a medium security men’s facility with a satellite prison camp that houses minimum-security female offenders. Her projected release date is June 06, 2013.

Rachel White enters prison

RoseMary Schaul McCollum joined her Lord on Sept. 15, 2012. Though born in Roswell, NM on December 12, 1912, RoseMary can surely be considered an Arizona pioneer woman after having lived in the state for over 90 years. Along with her husband Sig Schaul and their two boys, Steve and Joe, they were one of the fi rst fi ve families in San Manuel

following the town’s inception. RoseMary will be fondly remembered as a long-time teacher in the San Manuel school system. Many will also recall her smiling face alongside husband Sig at Schaul’s Variety store, and later after his premature passing, with her second husband Carl (Mac) McCollum. She was a tireless volunteer with charities

Loretta Flowers Stephens, 55, passed away on Sept. 7, 2012. She was the beloved daughter of Louis and Reppard Flowers. She is survived by her husband, Mike; brothers, Willie, Jimmy and Virgil Flowers; many nephews and nieces; and two stepchildren. She loved her family and friends. She will be missed by all. A gathering will be held from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Sept. 28 at the community center in Mammoth.

and organizations like the SM Library, Red Cross blood drives, Catholic charities, AZ Democratic Party, teaching English to Spanish-speaking residents, manning voting booths as well as countless other endeavors. A few years ago, she was named Grand Marshal of the annual SM Fourth of July parade in honor of her many years of service to the community. At the age of 94, she left her beloved San Manuel

and moved to a retirement community in Oro Valley, accompanying her lifelong friends the Coxons and Jodie McCurry. Even after relocating, she continued to play in her weekly SM bridge group, allowing the group to carry on enjoying each other’s company as they had for 50 years! During the past year she moved to Gilbert to be closer to her son Joe and his family and, while in the midst of planning her upcoming one-hundredth

birthday party, it was there she peacefully passed. RoseMary was preceded in death by her parents, Wyly and Mary Parsons, her sister Patricia Blech and her husbands Sig Schaul and Carl McCollum. She is survived by sons Steve Schaul (Marcia) of Dallas, TX, Joe Schaul (Monica) of Gilbert, AZ, granddaughters Shannon and Erin and brothers Pete and Wyly Parsons. RoseMary was a self-described “tough old bird” and she will truly be missed by many and beloved by all.

The Pinal County Sheriff’s Report is taken from the daily logs, based on the information provided by deputies. All persons arrested are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Sept. 10 Theft of sunglasses was reported in the 63000 block of East SaddleBrooke Blvd., SaddleBrooke.

Pinal County Sheriff’s Report

By Chase KampCopper Area News Brian Tapp, the Executive Di-rector of Central Arizona Gov-ernments (CAG), announced on Aug. 13, 2012, that he would resign from the position effec-tive Sept. 6 to take a position at a Missouri university. Tipp was appointed Executive Director of CAG in 2010. Tapp said in leading the or-ganization he aimed to create a more efficient organization that could expand its breadth and more effectively address the needs of the Counties and members. “One of the issues with CAG traditionally is that it has been so dependent on social services programs, it never really went out to provide the direct services it’s needed to provide to its members,” he said. “When you’re so dependent on doing day-to-day stuff, you’re not aggressive and not pushing forward to new additions and new items,” he added. However, one former direc-tor was critical of his methods in office, and some argued that CAG as a whole has not been giving small communities and rural members a reasonable share of resources and consid-eration. Tapp and others agreed that new leadership at CAG will arrive at a time of good op-portunity, but many invested parties are unsure how the scope and direction of CAG will take shape in the future. Tapp will depart CAG to be the new outreach director for South-east Missouri State University’s Douglas C. Green Innovation and Entrepreneurship center. “It was a great career oppor-tunity for me and my family,” Tapp said of the move. “I was looking forward to that transi-

tion and it’s another opportunity for me to use my skill set the best way I can.” Al Larsen, the Regional De-velopment Director at CAG, has been appointed as interim Director by the group’s execu-tive committee with plans to find a full-time director in the near future. CAG suffered a blow in June when it lost out on a $637,000 grant that would have gone toward workforce investment area Title 1 youth programs that would provide job training for young workers. Gila County serves as the fis-cal agent for that program, as well as the Workforce Invest-ment Board, and the program is required to go out for proposal every two years. Funding was forwarded through CAG for its adult work-force programs, but Central Arizona College was instead granted the ability to administer youth program funding. One former CAG director, who requested anonymity, said it was the first time in decades that CAG was challenged for the grant and lost out to another agency. Having served at the time of the proposal, the for-mer director alleged the grant process was handed over to an inexperienced staff member. “I just don’t know how they’re going to function, losing that much money,” the former direc-tor said. Tapp said the application pro-cess for the WIA grant was pur-sued in the usual manner. “We pretty much focused on what we did in the past,” he said. The former director also said experienced employees were let go and replaced by out-of-state replacements, something they argued goes against the organi-zation’s traditional regionalism.

CAG Executive Director steps down“The leadership was just lack-ing,” they argued. Tapp disagreed. “You bring in some different ideas and get different perspectives,” he said. “It gets back to the idea of what the expectations are per County and per member entity.” Tapp argued that ideally, CAG should have provided additional services outside of the social services and WIA programs. The loss of the grant might even be a blessing in disguise, he argued. “Maybe there could be a different transition with what’s going on. That’s my per-sonal feeling in my 20 years in

the council of government.” Representatives from smaller member entities argue they are getting the short end of the stick when it comes to CAG resources. Coolidge Councilmember Jon Thompson said his town is re-evaluating whether or not to pay their assessment to CAG, one that all member entities dole out to the organization in exchange for various services and infor-mation. “We’re not generating the revenues we used to generate,” Thompson said. “If we’re not getting the service, then we

don’t want to pay it.” Thompson said smaller enti-ties were not given enough of a voice in the organization, and weren’t entitled to as many fi-nancial benefits. “The administration was deal-ing mainly with the big boys,” he said. “If you were small, you didn’t get nearly the consider-ation.” At a Gila County Board of Supervisors meeting in June, Vice-chairman Shirley Dawson criticized CAG for maintaining an attitude of “we’ve grown big now and we don’t need rural areas.”

Florence Mayor Tom Rankin disagreed and called for re-newed efforts for the shared goal of prosperity. “I would hope the towns would stay solid together behind CAG,” he said. “CAG can be a viable organization for the two counties if we all work together to make it so.” Tapp said he was optimistic about CAG’s future as the two counties eventually return to growth. “There’s a lot of big issues on the horizon and I think there’s some good opportunities to push it forward by the leader-ship at the Council,” he said.

The Safe Journey House (SJH), an advocacy center against domestic abuse, cel-ebrates its one year anniversary this month. In this past year, SJH has provided information and supportive services to over 80 people – men, women and children – who are in or had been in a domestic abusive situation, or who want to help someone they know who is. Both individual and group support services are offered, all free of charge. SJH is staffed by a large group, mostly vol-unteers, who share a common passion for helping people find relief from abuse. A celebration honoring all the people who have helped make the Safe Journey House a suc-cess will be held at a later date.

Annual Quail Hunter’s Breakfast coming soon

In the short two years that the Copper Town Days event has taken place; the annual reunion is becoming a favorite with current and past residents of San Manuel, Oracle and Mammoth. For an entire day old friends can reminisce about their days underground, in

the pit or in the smelter, and how those very strong bonds that came to be known as ‘The Brotherhood’; served to keep them safe on the job fi lled with risk and danger. Current and former resident will undoubtedly search the crowd for a familiar face and when

Copper Town Days: What, When Why?they fi nd one most likely will follow up with a vigorous handshake or even a big bear hug. The fi rst event was held at the San Manuel High School football fi eld. A decent crowd of a little over 500 attended. The next year the event moved to the area known as the upper arcade which was the heart of San Manuel in the booming copper mining days and this time attendance was nearly 800.

If the trend continues this year’s Copper Town Days reunion event could see 1,000 folks return to San Manuel for a day of fun for all ages, food, free entertainment, a car show, a softball tournament and best of all the reuniting of brothers, friends and families. An association known as Copper Town Association (CTA) was formed to conduct the planning, implementation and

administration of the event. An executive board to oversee the business of the Association was elected and associate memberships from interested residents and other community groups were solicited. This diverse group is committed to working towards the economic development of the Tri-Community while maintaining the proud history of copper mining in this region. CTA is now

recognized as an offi cial not for profi t, tax exempt 501(c)(3) . To that end CTA adopted three community organizations who benefi t from the net revenues earned at Copper Town Days. The organizations are: Mammoth Tri-

By John Hernandez On Fri. Sept. 21 at 6:00 pm at the Acadia Ranch Museum there will be a free speaker event hosted by the Oracle Historical Society. Herb Stevens, Director of the San Carlos Apache Cultural Cen-ter will be giving a presentation on “San Carlos Culture in the 21st Century.” Mr. Stevens was honored at the Heard Museum where he was presented with “The Arizona Liv-ing Treasure Award” in 2011. The award is given to recognize those individuals in the community that contribute to and share their culture’s art and traditions and help keep those traditions alive by passing them on to the next generation. Some of the work Stevens has done to preserve the Apache arts and culture include the making of Apache fl ute and violin, bows and arrows, coiled basket-weaving, campdress, moccasins, ceremo-nial drum, ceremonial buckskin dress and skirt, beadwork and setting up ceremonial wickiups. He also does storytelling and teaches the Apache language to the younger generation. The Apache are descendants of the Ancients – Nde “The People.”

Presentation on Apache culture to be held Friday

Over the last two centuries, many bands of Apache were relo-cated to the reservation from their traditional homelands, which ex-tended from Texas through New Mexico and Arizona into Mexico and California. The San Carlos Apache Res-

ervation was established on November 9, 1871. The town of Oracle shares a cultural tradition with their neighbors of the San Carlos Apache Reservation and each year a number of Apache families come to Oracle to gather acorns.

Linda Thomas is a retired United States Air Force Colonel and is a candidate for the Oracle School Board. She has spent nearly her entire life around the military. Her father was a Green Beret and career Army man. She was born in Germany and spent her youth traveling around the world, wherever her father’s career took the family.

Linda was selected twice as “Best in Air Force” in her field. Linda and her partner Holley moved to SaddleBrooke four years ago. Holly is a retired Colonel also. “We feel very fortunate to be here; we love Arizona,” said Linda. “Arizona is a great place to ride motorcycles.” Linda is an avid motorcycle rider and enjoys golf, reading and pottery.

By John Hernandez When you turn 100 years old, you have seen and experienced a lot of things in your life. Evelyn Plageman turned 100 on September 10, 2012. During her lifetime, she has lived through the terms of 18 Presidents from William Howard Taft to Barack Obama. Evelyn says her favorite Presidents were Franklin Delano Roosevelt and John F. Kennedy. Evelyn still votes. “They send me the paper (mail in ballot) and I vote,” she said. She has experienced the years of the Great Depression and World War II. When I asked her what it was like to live through the Depression, she said, “I was so busy working; I didn’t have time to think about it.” During World War II, one of her brothers went off to fi ght in the war. During those years, Evelyn and her husband Chester Plageman were busy raising their family in Ottawa, Minnesota. Evelyn and Chester were married February 18, 1932. He worked on farms, a mink ranch and for an insulation company. Chester passed away in 1984. They raised fi ve children, Thomas, Beverly, Robert, Don and Virginia. Evelyn was born in Bagley, Iowa. She grew up on a farm where she did a “little bit of everything.” The farm raised corn, grain and potatoes. Her parents were hard workers and she learned to work at an early age. She attended school until the seventh grade and then went to work babysitting and working in the family garden. She never stopped working. Besides raising fi ve kids, she worked in the cornfi elds, in factories and even on a mink ranch. On the ranch, she said she did everything from feeding the mink and cleaning their stalls to having to scrape the

fat off of the fur pelts. Evelyn worked on the assembly line at Hughes Aircraft in California in 1957. She worked in a cannery and for Green Giant for 17 years. In 1977, she moved to Arizona. She lived in Mesa and went to work in the kitchen at a school cafeteria. Evelyn remembers driving wagons and then cars. She drove until she was 90 years old. She was around before the invention of television and the electronic age. She told me about having an old wind up phonograph (Victrola record players). Now she listens to the radio and can play CDs. Country western music is her favorite. On television, she likes to watch game shows and baseball. The Arizona Diamondbacks are her favorite team. She said she

used to like the Dodgers before she moved to Arizona. In 1992, Evelyn moved to San Manuel. Her daughter Bev and son-in-law Russ Dollard live next door. Evelyn said that ‘Bev and Russ help do all my work.” “I’m just wearing out that’s all, after 100 years it’s just about time to wear out.” Evelyn still does her own cooking and tends to her flower garden, weather permitting. When Evelyn was asked how it feels to be turning 100 years old, she responded, “It’s just another birthday. I just keep trying to do what is right.” She attributes her longevity to the fact that she’s “just too ornery to die!” She then added, “Just keep going and hard work. Let go of the past, go for what’s now.” On Sat. Sept. 9, 2012, Evelyn was surprised by family and friends at the Living Word Chapel in Oracle where her birthday was celebrated.

Jeri Taylor is a candidate for the Oracle School Governing Board. She is a past nurse-educator and a retired Lt. Colonel, USAR. Oracle and the surrounding communities make her feel very much at home, having grown up in rural America. Her desire is to serve the greater community by encouraging outstanding educational opportunities within the budget of a rural community. “The children of our community are our future,” she says, “It’s important to provide them with the basic skills to excel in responsible adulthood.” She is a candidate because she feels that there is a need for all generations and all communities in our area of Pinal County to participate in the education of our children. Being on the School Governing Board is hard work and an important commitment to the future. She has been doing her

“homework” for the past year by attending the school board meetings. She is the fifth child of eight. Her minister father served churches in many small communities in Michigan and the Pacific Northwest. Incomes are tight in rural areas and she understands that. Jeri liked school and did well, graduating from high school with a scholarship to the Walter Reed Army Institute of Nursing in Washington D.C. That was a big change for the small town girl! As an Army nurse, she focused on geriatrics, pediatrics and nursing education. Transitioning from active duty to the U.S. Army Reserves, she helped design, implement and teach in a practical nursing program. During her military career, she spent time in Saudi Arabia (during Desert Storm) and came home with a strong

Jeri Taylor is a candidate for the Oracle School Boardappreciation of how wonderful our country is in encouraging self-determination and freedom for all to succeed.Jeri and her husband Michael spent 35 years in Tacoma, Washington working and raising two children. They are grandparents of two, the oldest of which begins her journey in education this fall. While raising her children, she returned to school completing an A.D. in Early Childhood Education and taking coursework in Elementary Education. Jeri combined her military commitment with nursing practice and education in the Tacoma area. She was program director and instructor for nursing assistant programs at two local colleges for over 15 years. That included enhanced programs for students unfamiliar with both English and Medical languages. Active in her church, Jeri computerized the financial records and was volunteer treasurer for several years.

As a past educator dealing with limited budgets, she understands the difficulties that small schools and teachers face. Jeri feels it is critically important that children have a strong educational foundation in their early years, providing them with the ability to build a solid adult life and career path. Jeri and Michael moved to Pinal County (Saddlebrooke) in 2008. They like the area and the people. It is encouraging to see the caring and support by Saddlebrooke residents to their more rural neighbors. Jeri’s personal interests include genealogy, scrapbooking, doing hand-built pottery, outdoor activities and

needlecrafts. Jeri will not be able to do her best for you without you. She is a good listener and NEEDS you to provide her with your concerns, hopes and dreams for the future of our children and

community. Jeri would love your support. She wants to look at all sides of an issue before making decisions. Visit her at TaylorOSD2.org or contact her at [email protected]

By Frank Smith The San Manuel Lady Miners varsity volleyball team hosted the visiting Lady Lobos last week on September 12, 2012 and came away with a 3 – 2 come from behind victory Hayden. The Lady Lobos took the overtime victory in the first game 28 – 26 and picked up the win in a close second game 25 – 20. In the third game the Lady Miners caught fire after be-ing down 12 – 2 at one point, Coach Deanne Brewer called a time out to rally the troops, the ladies came out of the time to take the lead – never looking back to pick up the win 25 – 16. In game four, the Lady Miners continued to dominate – working together as a cohesive unit netting an-other win 25 – 17 to force the decisive fifth game. In game five, San Manuel would not be denied as they took Hayden down to the wire grabbing the final game 15 – 12 for the win. Stepping up for the Lady Miners was Alexis Garibay with 13 digs, six kills, and eight assists, Mackenzie White had 14 digs, four kills, 16 assists, and one block, Analisa Robles had six kills, and six blocks, Ana Estrada had 13 digs, three assists, and one kill, Felicia Gomez had five digs, 22 assists, and

two kills, Karly Pena had 29 digs, and one assist, Anjelica Zuniga had four digs, 13 kills, and 13 blocks, and Tisha Re-idhead had 18 digs, and one assist. Coach Brewer said, “This was a turning point for our team. We were down two games and came all the way back to win the match. We played very well. We finally had fire in our eyes and went after the game! It feels good! We made some changes in our lineup and it is obviously the difference in the game for us. Alexis Garibay returned to the setting position, and Karly Pena wore the libero jersey. I am very pleased with the effort!” The Lady Miners also competed in the Florence Invitational Tournament this weekend, in the first round of pool play; the ladies faced San Carlos, Globe and Vista Grande. San Manuel got off to a slow start in the first match, losing 25 - 24 in both sets. Next, the Lady Miners faced Globe, beating them 25 - 11 and then 25-23. Next, Vista Grande took both sets 25 - 16 and 25 - 21. The Lady Miners then en-tered the inter-pool play where they split with Ray a 21 - 11 loss and a 21 - 16 win, San Carlos a 21 - 20 win and a 21 - 11 loss, To-nopah a 21 - 20 loss and a

21-15 win. San Manuel was seeded #7 in the bracket play. The Lady Miners played #10 seed Santa Cruz winning 25 - 15 and 25 - 23. Next, the la-dies again faced Vista Grande

the #2 seed losing 2-1, a 25 - 16 win , a 25 - 18 loss and then a 15 - 4 loss to put San Manuel out of the bracket. Coach Brewer said, “Over-all, I am very pleased with our

performance in the tourna-ment. We played as a unit and gave those teams good games. We played hard to the very last point.” The Lady Miners traveled to

Tucson on Tuesday to take on Greenfields; today they will be hosting the Miami Lady Vandals with the JV playing at 5:00 p.m. and the varsity taking the floor at 6:00 p.m.

By Frank Smith The San Manuel Miners varsity football posted their third shutout win in as much as their fourth game of the young season, with the Miners getting the win over the San Carlos Braves 46 – 0 last Friday night at Littau Field. With the win San Manuel now holds a record of 3 – 1. San Manuel scored early in the first quarter after safety Adrian Torres picked off a Brave pass on the third play of the San Carlos opening drive. Torres stepped in on the pass at the San Carlos 30 yard line, returning the ball to the Braves five yard line. This would set up running back John Ruiz for a five yard touchdown run up the middle of the Braves defense, the extra point kick by Adrian Diaz was good for a 7 – 0 Miners lead with 10:06 on the clock in the first quarter.

forced the punt on a three and out but gave the ball right back to the Braves on the punt when a San Manuel player touched the ball creating a fumble that the Braves recovered at the Miners 44 yard line, that was as close as San Carlos would get into Miner territory as San Carlos faced a long fourth down and 37 after defensive end Jonathon Croci picked up his second sack on the drive forcing another punt. San Manuel began their drive at the Braves 42 yard line with quarterback Torres hitting tight end Croci for a 32 yard pass down to the 10 yard line on the first play. On the second play of the drive Torres called fullback Shane Kelly’s number handing the ball off to Kelly for a 10 yard touchdown run, the point after touchdown kick was blocked for a 13 – 0 lead with 3:41 on the clock in the first quarter. The Miners drove 42 yards in two plays taking :29 seconds on the drive. The defense continued to force the Braves into punt situations as they put pressure on the quarterback throughout the first half.The Miners scored again after driving three plays from their own 35 yard line down to the Braves 30 yard line where running back Colten Smith would take the ball in for a 30 yard touchdown run on the fourth play of the drive, the kick by Diaz was good for a 26 – 0 at the 11:18 mark of the second quarter. The Miners drove 65 yards in four plays taking 1:20 on the drive. San Manuel scored on their next possession driving seven plays down field from their own 30 yard line to the Braves nine yard line where Kelly would punch the ball in from nine yards out for the touchdown, the Diaz kick was good for a 33 – 0 score with 4:33 on

the clock in the second quarter. The Miners drove 70 yards in eight plays taking 4:28 on the drive. On the next drive for the Braves, the Miners defense forced yet another punt, the punt landed in the hands of return man Andre Sierra who took the ball 70 yards down field for the touchdown, the kick was no good for a 39 – 0 Miner lead with 1:58 before the half.

San Carlos did not sustain a drive on their next possession, ending the first half down by 39 at halftime. In the third quarter, the Miners would have the second half opening possession. San Manuel began their drive at their won 25 yard line, marching the ball down to the 19 yard line in eight plays where running back Ruiz would cap off the drive with a 19 yard sprint into the end zone for the touchdown, the kick by Diaz was good for a 46 – 0

lead with 8:23 left in the third quarter. The Miners drove 75 yards in nine plays taking 3:57 on the drive. The AIA imposed mercy rule was now in effect with a running clock that will only stop for injuries and time outs. San Manuel inserted another squad of their younger players to get some valuable playing time, the Miners held the Braves in the second half, picking up the win 46 – 0. Offensively, the Miners totaled 428 yards with

seven touchdowns, gaining 318 yards on the ground with six touchdowns, 32 yards in the air, and 78 yards on returns with one touchdown. On the ground, John Ruiz rushed 12 times for 126 yards with three touchdowns, Shane Kelly rushed 10 times for 106 yards with two touchdowns, and Colten Smith rushed two times for 37 yards with one touchdown. In the air, Adrian Torres went 1-2 for 32 yards, hauling in the pass was

John Croci with one reception for 32 yards. Special teams, Andre Sierra had a 70 yard punt return for a touchdown. Defensively, Danny Quijada had five solo and six assisted tackles, Anthony Garcia had two solo and seven assisted tackles including one sack, John Croci had two solo and seven assisted tackles including one sack, Bryce Main had three solo and five assisted tackles including one sack, Adrian Torres had two solo and four assisted tackles

with one interception. Coach Steve Elmore said, “The whole team played well on Friday in all three facets of the game. Offensively we scored six touchdowns, special teams we had a punt return for a touchdown, and defensively we pitched a shutout. All in all it was a good game for us. We look forward to playing Miami this Friday and come out of there with a win.” The Miners will travel to Miami on Friday night, the kick off is slated for 7:00 p.m.

Miner swimmers traveled to Canyon State Academy in Queen Creek last Thurs. to compete in a state qualifying meet. To swim at the state championship swim meet, swimmers must achieve state qualifying times at designated state qualifying meets. Teams are allowed to participate in limited number of these qualifying meets, and this was the first one of the season for the Miners. The other teams at the meet, Poston Butte and Canyon State, had significantly more swimmers than the San

Manuel. Miner swimmers looked sharp in their new team swimsuits and started things off by winning the Boys Medley Relay with the team of Andy Monfred, Wayne Newman, Armanda Noriega and Alec Newman. The Girls Medley Relay fought a much closer battle but came away with the win with the team of Nicole Primero, Cierra Austin, Jazelle Sanchez and Cita Sweeney. Miner Swimmers went on to win nearly every race until the diving break. John Bribiescas swam a new

personal best on his way to winning the boys 200 Freestyle. Amara Apuron won the Girls 200 freestyle with a spectacular time of 2:16.13 breaking the School Record by nearly 12 seconds and narrowly missing the state qualifying time by fractions of a second. Wayne Newman easily won the 200 Individual Medley (IM) but also narrowly missed the state qualifying time. Cita Sweeny went on to lead the Miner 1-2 finish in the 200 IM with Kadi Monfred. Cierra Austin won the 50 Freestyle in new school

record time of 27.64, just missing the state qualifying time by 0.05 seconds. At the Diving Break, the boys’ team was in a close meet, but without divers, it was evident that any hope of winning the meet was over. The Miner Girls, however were up 48-31 over Poston Butte, who had a strong second half lineup. It looked like the meet would come down to the 200 Freestyle Relay late in the meet and perhaps even the final event, the 400 Freestyle Relay. The Miners could not earn a win in the second

half of the meet until Nicole Primero won the Girls 100 Freestyle with a time of 1:05.52. A few events later, the Girls 200 Freestyle Relay would line up behind the blocks. Both San Manuel and Poston Butte had virtually the same seed times and were both hoping to hit the state qualifying time on 2:01.56. As the relay progressed, the Miners team of Amara Apuron, Cierra Austin, Jazelle Sanchez and Nicole Primer took an early lead only to only to get passed on the final leg. The disappointment of

losing such a close relay, was quickly overcome by joy when the Miners learned of their time of 1:57.63. They had qualified for State and broken the school record by more than three seconds. Wins for the Miners were sparse in the final events. Wayne Newman was able to win the 100 Breaststroke with a state qualifying time of 1:08.42. The final event of the afternoon would be Girls 400 Freestyle Relay, the same Poston Butte relay team that edged out the Miners in the 200 Freestyle

Relay would line up to face the Miners again. This time the team of Cierra Austin, Amara Apuron, Cita Sweeney and Nicole Primero took an early lead and won the relay convincingly with a time of 4:19.69, another State qualifying time and had shattered the school record by more than 20 seconds. Coach Alex Gort was excited about the way the Miners swam. “Both Girls Freestyle relays hit some outstanding times for this point of the season. Miner swimmers have been working very hard in practice, and the results are starting to show.” Final scores for the Boys were Poston Butte 122, Canyon State 97 and San Manuel 70. Final scores for the Girls were Poston Butte 129 San Manuel 106. Miner Swimmers will compete in a meet at Amphitheater High School on Thurs. Sept. 20 at 4:00 p.m.

By Frank Smith The San Manuel Junior High team hosted the Pusch Ridge Lions on September 11, 2012 with the Miners taking a 21 – 0 loss in the hands of the Lions. The Miners started out the game recovering an onside kick at the Lions 40 yard line but could not convert a first down punting the ball away for the Lions first score of the night on an 82 yard punt return for the touchdown, the extra point kick was good for a 7 – 0 Lions lead with 5:58 in the first quarter. Pusch Ridge would score again with :07 left before the half on a 25 yard pass into the end zone for the touchdown, the kick was good for a 14 – 0 lead at the half.

The Lions would score once more, this time on a three play - five yard touchdown run for the score, the kick was good for a 21 – 0 lead with 3:41 left in the third quarter.

The Miners offense could not get a drive going for a score, taking the loss 21 – 0 but the biggest loss of the night was late in the fourth quarter when quarterback Frank Renteria was lost for

the season with a broken finger. San Manuel hosted Mountain Vista on Tues. and will be on the road next Tues. to Miami for a 6:00 p.m. start.

Volume 2, Number 1 Mammoth Elementary STEM School September 2012

By Hannah Smallhouse and Mia Dale Compost is food and other organic material that decomposes into soil. We are

trying to help the environment by making compost. It helps plants they need the nutrients or they will die and it helps by recycling the organic material instead of making more garbage. We need plants for food, clothing, and oxygen. We have a bin for food and a bin for material made of wood. We used the compost we made last year in our garden this year. The fi rst thing you do is dig a big hole and second, mix soil with compost. The last thing to do is plant seeds or transplant plants.

By Mireya Curry and her classmates Our class is planting a garden. There are three different gardens. One is the square foot garden, one is a hum-mingbird and butterfl y garden, and one is a rock garden. We split up into three groups. To make the square foot and butterfl y gardens, fi rst we had to get soil. Then we dug out all of the dirt and took all of the rocks out because they would stop the roots from spreading. Then we put the rich soil in the coffi ns and added compost to help the fl owers grow. Then we fl attened all of the soil out so we could plant the fl owers. We learned that soil is important. Without

soil we wouldn’t have plants or food and we wouldn’t survive. Before we planted the fl owers, we ob-served the fl owers’ roots. We noticed that the roots were long and skinny and they were full of dirt. We learned that roots are important to make the fl owers grow. The roots hold the plants in place and they soak up the water to help the plant survive. We are making a plan for our rock garden. It will look like the desert. We plan to add cactus plants and rocks. We hope we don’t poke ourselves with the cactus plants! Jessica Sleeper2nd/3rd GradeMammoth Elementary STEM School

By Victoria Zazueta Mrs. Sanchez 4th grade class Hi, I Victoria Zazueta am interviewing Hannah Smallhouse and Mia Dale. Mia Dale is in second grade and Hannah Smallhouse is in third grade. I asked them a few questions about compost. They said, “It is important to motivate others so that they will join us to help the environment.” Isn’t that very thoughtful of them to share their ideas? They said they wanted to write in the newspapers to get people’s attention on important science ideas and to interact with our community. Now, we have a school newspaper section in the San Manuel Miner. They started putting posters up all over our school to get students excited about composting so they would bring organic materials from home for our compost bins. It is important to compost because it is a cycle of life that goes on and on and helps save our environment by recycling, reusing, and reducing waste. They love Mrs. Formo because she helped them do all the things they came up with and so did I. They also love me because I am their friend and I helped them with the compost. They love compost because it is good for the children to get outside and start making compost. So tell your kids to get off their backsides and make compost!

primarily for her work with Wingspan and establishing the Wingspan Classic Charity Golf Tournament. The golf tournament held at the Omni Tucson National Resort raised more than $50,000 its first three years and has a budget of $25,000 for this year’s tournament. Linda has once again retired and continues to volunteer. Quoting Lee Iacocca, Linda said, “‘First it’s about learning, earning and then returning.’ That’s where we are in our lives.” She has a passionate interest in education and believes she can apply her skills and experience to good use as a member of the Oracle School Board.

A battle for resources in lieu of proper funding is one of the biggest problems that Linda sees for education: “We have to fill the gaps somehow.” She said that the school needs to look at funding from businesses, grants and the public and make sure our tax dollars are properly used. Linda said that quality education is the basis of what the country and state need to move forward. “We need a strategic vision,” she said. Linda said that some of our students will one day be legislators or government leaders. “I want them to be smarter than me.” Linda has toured the school district and said she saw “clean facilities, fresh paint, and people doing what they can with what they had. We need to support them and the teachers.”

Linda admitted she has a lot to learn about Oracle and Eagle Crest but looks forward to meeting people from these areas. Her expertise is in SaddleBrooke and SaddleBrooke Ranch. “We have a fair amount of academians in these areas; I would like to get them to connect personally with the kids in the district.” Linda said that the volunteers from the SaddleBrooke Community Outreach have done a wonderful job for the schools and connecting with the students. She hopes to apply her skills to get all the communities more active and involved with the school district. Linda believes “we can do a better job than has been done.” She added, “I also know from my military experience that if

problems were easy to be solved they would have already been fixed. I know one person can’t do it alone.” S he hopes to apply her skills to get all the communities more active and involved with the school district. On her “Linda Thomas for Oracle School Board” Facebook page she wrote: “Since our country was founded, the American Dream has done much to inspire people around the world. We need to ensure that every American child is afforded a quality education to ensure the American Dream survives and thrives!” If you are interested in learning more about Linda or would like to get involved with her campaign, visit Linda Thomas for Oracle School Board on Facebook.
