His family considered him the “Rock” of the family.

There is no country in the world where the press has seized absolute power and muzzled the politicians” —David Brinkley He taught courses in Ecosystem and Watershed Modeling and represented Watershed Science in the college-wide Natural Resources Management courses for seniors. He also worked closely with the NSF-sponsored IBP Grassland Ecosystem Program. Minson enjoyed working with international graduate students and roughly 70 percent of his 55 M.S. and 26 Ph.D. students were from countries other than the US. He organized and led the College International Forestry School, one of several international schools on campus during the 1980s and 1990s. In the late 1980s, CSU was asked to participate in the Peace Corps Master’s Program in Agriculture and in Forestry and Natural Resources. Dr. Smith was selected to coordinate the program in Forestry and Natural Resources – a program that allowed Peace Corps volunteers to earn M.S. credit toward their master’s degrees. In addition to his mentorship of graduate students, Minson also enjoyed interacting with undergraduates. He pursued this interest by teaching Principles of Watershed Management and by serving as a member of the teaching team for the summer field course at CSU’s Mountain Campus at Pingree Park (NR220) for many years. He was highly respected by students and faculty and recognized and appreciated as a mentor for new faculty. Minson has been described as the “glue” behind key activities and a critical support person. He often stepped up to do things that others did not want to do, or did not have the time for. It goes without saying that Minson Smith will be missed by so many. His ashes will be spread near Superior, Ariz., his birthplace and a place he loved.

February 25, 2015 www.copperarea.com Superior Sun | 3 LETTER TO THE EDITOR Remain ‘Union Strong’ A little reminder and message to our young generation of workers and union members: The history of our labor unions goes beyond your generation, your parents, your grandparents … We fight and stand together as brothers and sisters, because of the tremendous fight before us. Unions fought and suffered for you to have safe working conditions, fair wages, benefits, the 40 hour work week with compensation for overtime, a mission to establish the middle class with livable wages, and the list goes on and on. To the workers who want to be petty and use social media to slam the union fight that continues, and began way before you have imagined, don’t be selfish. If you think these great corporate companies will grant you what you deserve, by all means, negotiate your own individual contract. Just try. Give way to your health insurance, which many workers in other companies would love to have. Give up on your overtime pay for hours worked during the week beyond the 40 hours. Give up your bonus. Convince them what you deserve to be paid for your skills and insist on tremendous benefits that so many companies do not think you deserve. We, as union brothers and sisters, know the struggle our former and past brothers and sisters have endured. Respect them! They showed pride, dedication, strength, compassion and a fight for many things that we - you - are enjoying without realizing the sacrifices that were made. We must stand together, support each other, and represent our ancestors with dignity and pride. We - you- should learn how to appreciate a fight that involves, and has involved, so many hardworking men and women. We must remain “Union Strong”! /s/ Joey B.

What a beautiful garden! Then we wanted to drive to see the copper mines…as we drove in the mountains, our car overheated and we stopped again and again. Finally we pulled off at the place where the school buses come. Two of us from Wisconsin and two from Missouri … We did not know what to do. We could not get a tow truck because of a big accident at a near town. Then a white truck drove up and a man named Michael asked if he could help. He said that the day before he had an accident and some people drove him home and he wanted to “pay it forward” and help us. He got water from his truck and poured water in a place under the hood. He told us to turn on the heater. He helped us for the longest time. He even told us he would drive us the 47 miles to where we were staying. A young woman who knew about cars also helped us, but we didn’t learn her name. With Michael’s help we got the car going and he followed us and even got more water for us from his store…and told us to call him and let him know we arrived safely. His name was Michael and he owns the Save Money Market in Superior. We are so grateful for his help and that he was our “Good Samaritan” Thank You Michael! /s/ Leu and Wes McAnally With friends Dawn and Kim Tribal member speaks out against land exchange My name is Tina Mull. I am the granddaughter of Marvin Mull, Sr., our former Tribal Chairman and my father is Marvin Mull, Jr., our former Vice Chairman of the San Carlos Apache Tribe. As a youth, I remember my late grandfather who always talked to us about standing up for our Apache People and protecting what belongs to us Apaches. That includes our water, our land, our natural resources and our identity as being Apaches. This is why I am speaking out against what is happening to us as Apaches and many of you don’t know the real story. The Southeast Arizona Land Exchange Bill that was passed last December, 2014, sabotages one of the most important and basic environmental and cultural protection laws in the U.S., which is the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Under NEPA law, the public would have been able to comment and obtain information from the USFS about the significant environmental , cultural and human right impacts and harms caused by this mine. Exempting the mine’s structure and plan of operation from NEPA is like taking away the Magna Carta or being exempt from the U.S. Constitution or taking away the Bill of Rights. The USFS should be required by federal law to describe all of the potential impacts and harms of this mine to the land, water and air pollution and human and cultural and historical harms in the so-called Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). Where is the review of what efforts the mining company will have to make to protect the priceless cultural, historical, Native American, riparian, recreational and environmental values at stake here? BHP and Rio Tinto, who are foreign mining companies have horrendous environmental and human rights records at their third world mine sites, but, also at their U.S. and other non-third world mining properties. Oak Flat was protected by President Dwight Eisenhower, and, later, reaffirmed by President Richard Nixon. And, along came Senator John McCain, who ran for the U.S. Presidency and lost the election! In return, he helps these two foreign mining companies, who associate with Iran and Iraq, to build a mine on U.S. soil on land holy and sacred to our Apaches! Now, who will monitor the mine when they dewater and destroy the critical groundwater aquifer vital to maintaining plant and animal life of the priceless Ga’an Canyon riparian Continued on page 10 LIMITED TIME OFFER GOING ON NOW!

The restoration work has begun. There is much work to be completed on this 1947 Pierce Fire Truck that was originally purchased for the community from Magma Copper Company. In January of this year the Restoration Committee was formed consisting of: Ruben “Corky” Ward, former Superiorite, businessman from Tucson, Ariz.; Henry Munoz (former Superior Town Councilman 19891999); Todd Pryor: Superior Operations Chief; Angel Gomez: Former Retired Fire Chief; John Tameron: Retired Superior Fireman (councilman town of Superior); Jerry Campos; John Paul Perez; Elias San Miguel; David Rabago; Matt Mashaw; Roger Cox and Bruce Wittig (Superior-Queen Valley).

The assessment was conducted at the back of Superior Fire Station. The overall body and frame are in good condition considering the year of the fire truck. After 15 years of the engine not being started, it did start to great relief. The truck is in need of batteries, lower engine over hall, interior work and other parts as needed. Henry Munoz said, “It is the consensus of the committee, that this truck has an attachment to the community as it has been around for a long time. There have been many individuals such as fathers, grandfathers, brothers, uncles and the Fire Districts Woman Auxiliary who have served as members of the Superior Fire District back then, and this is a symbol of their service to the community.” He added, “Hopefully we can create something so that they will not be forgotten for their 6338 S.

February 25, 2015 www.copperarea.com Lady Panthers part of state title conversation By Andrew Luberda Superior Sun With 2015 softball season around the corner, it’s time to start previewing area teams and their season outlook. Lady Panthers’ second-year head coach Martin Navarrette didn’t mince words when asked about the expectations for his team this season. “Overall our outlook is positive,” he said. “(Our) goal is to go all the way.” With six returning starters, including five who received AllDivision IV and/or All-Section VI honors in 2014, the Lady Panthers are perhaps one of the most experienced and talented teams in the state. All-Division selections Hunter Flanagan (Sr-OF), Gabby Salcido (Jr-IF), and Cierra Navarrette (Sr-IF) were among the section leaders in batting average, home runs, slugging percentage, runs batted in and/or on-base percentage. All-Section junior pitcher Ivie Lopez’ 12 wins last year were the second most in Section VI. Her battery mate, Phalicitee (Pinky) Thomas (Jr) also received All-Section honors. Superior lost only two players off last year’s team, including 1B Ariel Alonzo, who leaves “big shoes to fill,” according to the Lady Panthers’ head coach. He’s counting on freshman Alicia Arriola, who can also pitch, to fill the void at first base. Angelina Vasquez and Jalisa Murray are two more freshmen who are expected to make an impact this season. Last year the Lady Panthers finished the season ranked No. 5 in the final rankings and reached the quarterfinals of the state tournament where they lost to No. 4 Ray. Four teams in Section VI – Superior, Ray, Hayden, and San Manuel – reached the 2014 state tournament, which was won for the second-straight year by San Manuel. “Section VI, by far, has the most talent in the division,” said Navarrette, the 2014 Section VI Coach of the Year. “(This year) is going to be a battle.” Yes it is. The Lady Panthers’ opponents figure to be thinking the same. SHS Hall of Fame to induct new members in March The Superior High School Hall of Fame committee will host their annual induction ceremony on Saturday, March 7, 2015 at the Superior Junior Senior High School “Manny Ruiz” Gymnasium.

A 911 call made at 6:45 p.m. reported an accident on North Whitlow Dam Road in Queen Valley. According to the call the all-terrain vehicle had rolled multiple times. The driver was found unconscious but breathing and the three female juvenile passengers were all injured. PCSO Deputies along with the Queen Valley Fire Department responded to the scene.

He stopped breathing during treatment and medics immediately began Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR). Unfortunately Hopkins did not respond and was pronounced deceased at the scene. There were three female passengers who were all ejected during the crash. A 9-year-old female was transported by air ambulance to a hospital for head injuries, an 8-year-old female was transported to a hospital by ground ambulance for facial injuries and another 9-year-old female was transported by ground ambulance for a broken collar bone.

Hopkins had been driving the Polaris Razor at the time of the crash. The vehicles right side tires went off the roadway and the vehicle tumbled down a 15 to 20 foot hillside. At this time it is not known if alcohol was a factor. Sheriff Paul Babeu stated, “This all-terrain vehicle was only equipped to carry the driver and one passenger. None of the occupants were seat belted in at the time of the crash. When the vehicle rolled down the hill it landed on top of Hopkins.” He added, “This case is a tragic reminder of the importance of only carrying the number of passengers a vehicle is designed for and to always wear a seatbelt.” Public Notice NOTICE (for publication) ARTICLES OF ORGANIZATION HAVE BEEN FILED IN THE OFFICE OF THE ARIZONA CORPORATION COMMISSION FOR I.
