By C in dy Tracy The women of Superior showed up in full force and effect for a fun Easter themed event at the Cop-per Gecko shop on Main Street last Friday evening. Copper Gecko proprietor Leslie Martin had said humorously in an internet invite to everyone the late afternoon/early evening event was

a “time for the Superior women to cackle!” There were door prizes, a variety of wines to enjoy (including chocolate wine), delectable eats and lots of lei-surely time to catch up with friends, make new ones or just relax and sit around with pleasant folks. No one did, actually, cackle, although there was a lot of laughing

Bunnies, food, friends, fun and a Copper Gecko meet-up at holiday happening at Main Street establishment

and talking among the large crowd that turned out. The reference to cackling was likely linked to the exciting and lucrative Ladies Only Easter Egg Hunt that was a feature of the festivities. Guests each chose a colorful plastic egg from a basket proffered by Martin or one of the other Gecko vendors or organizers of the event. The eggs had prizes in them, including real green-as-springtime, honest-to-goodness cash in varying amounts. The already elegant Copper Gecko establishment on that day was even more special graced by a friendly crowd. The Gecko was fi lled to the brim as usual with eclectic shopping op-portunities provided by a variety of vendors who have booth space in the shop. The offerings for sale, as usual, ranged that night from antiques to art to original art clothing, distinctive salt water taffy, upscale as well as random knick knacks, books, house-hold items, giftables of all kinds and more good stuff. Complete with a huge and scrump-tious spring bouquet spread out in the middle of the pretty store and deco-rated with Easter Bunny sculptures, tulips and other celebratory décor, the Copper Gecko Ladies’ Night was a relaxing get-together of all women in the community.

The Gecko was set up for a genteel party when the fi rst arrivals turned up at approximately 5 p.m. The food was spread out and a diverse collection of comfortable chairs had been placed in the shop and on the sidewalk by the front door. This area had been set up to give the feel of a friendly front porch somewhere where it was nice just to sit, eat and sip and chat in a lazy sort of way as the late afternoon sun slowly sank somewhere in the direction of the west. Out there on this porch like area also, guests and passersby were treat-ed to the amusing repartee provided by Bunny Gaga, aka well-known Superior entertainer Keri Richards. The popular personality known as Lady Gaga is a character sometimes donned by Richards and for Copper Gecko Ladies Night, she wore pink bunny ears, colorful balloons and the Gaga costume and quipped to people that she was Bunny Gaga. Bunny Gaga handed out choco-lates to everyone she met, waved at passersby to get their attention and invite them to the gathering, and good-naturedly posed for pictures with guests. Richards, a professional entertainer, is often seen volunteering her services at community events in her familiar

Resolution Copper Mining’s facelift of the historic Magma mine property enters a new phase this spring with reclamation of 39 acres of old tailings impoundments located immediately north of town. The company will re-contour, cap and seed the old tailings to make them look like and blend into the natural surroundings in a $3 million project that’s expected to take about six months. With the planned reclamation virtually in Superior’s backyard and

in close proximity to a number of residential homes, the company said it is taking extra precautions to man-age noise, dust and worker activity on the site as best it can. RCM Vice President Jon Cherry said work hours will be restricted to weekdays from 7 a.m. – 5 p.m., and, a number of water trucks will circulate to suppress dust. Still, he said, residents can expect to hear back-up alarms, heavy equip-ment, general construction sounds and possibly experience some odor tem-

porarily from freshly exposed tailings. Earthmovers, bulldozers, backhoes, trucks and other heavy equipment will be deployed when work commences in the last week of April. Some blasting will be required to quarry material from an area north of the company’s water treatment plant, which will be used to cover the old tailings. Blasting will be restricted between the hours of 9 a.m. – 3p.m. “We recognize the inconvenience this may cause for some local

residents, but we are confi dent the result will be well worth the trouble,” Cherry said, adding that the work will greatly improve the area’sappearance and drainage. Tailing slopes will be reduced to control ero-sion and then capped with three feet of material that is conducive to plant growth and more consistent with the natural environment than the current cover. Residents who have concerns, questions or complaints about the

reclamation work can call the Resolu-tion Copper community line at (520) 689-3409 during business hours. “Let us know how we can improve,” Cherry said RCM began voluntary reclamation work on the property soon after be-coming managing partner in 2004 and has already reclaimed more than 100 acres of the property. The company also built a water treatment facility and has removed and treated to date more than 1.5 billion gallons of water

from historic underground mine work-ings. RCM has spent already nearly two-thirds of a $50 million reclama-tion budget. Known internally as the No. 3 and 4 tailings impoundment, the tailings are the outgrowth of legacy mining opera-tions by former operators that began in the early 1900s and ended in 1983. Tailings are the end result of ore that has been crushed to the consistency of beach sand and processed to extract the copper.-

Most child development experts, pediatricians and educators can tell you that the best time to instill a love of reading and learning in children is when they are very young. In fact, it’s been proven that the best time to learn a second language is before the age of six or seven. Every year, Superior Head Start celebrates the “Week of the Young Child” and this year was no different.

Superior Head Start celebrates ‘Week of the Young Child’

This year’s theme was “Early Years are Learning Years.” As part of the celebration, the Supe-rior school invited local and county offi cials to come read to students. “The development of early reading skills is vital to the children’s success in school,” said Superior Head Start teacher Teresita Martinez-Olmos. This year, to add a little fun to the occasion, students (and teachers) were invited to dress as their favorite storybook characters. One child wore a family heirloom gown altered by her grandmother. Students listened to stories being read and told by teach-ing staff and community volunteers throughout the class day and enjoyed refreshments of orange juice and animal crackers. Storytime began with the teacher reading Garden of Whales. The story taught the children to have empathy for whales who get tangled in nets. “I would help the whales get free,” said one child, while another exclaimed, “We can help them get

By Cindy Tracy There is going to be an EGG-cellent day-before-Easter event this com-ing Saturday morning in downtown Superior! If you’re a bunny or if you’re a hu-man, don’t forget to mark your calen-dar for April 23 to hippity hop on over to the Besich Park area for the Annual Town of Superior Parks & Recreation festival, “Easter in the Park.” Things get underway for this enter-taining afternoon occasion at noon, says Parks & Recreation Director Bar-bara Arriola.

By Lana Jones July copper was trading at $4.26 per pound Tuesday morning. That’s 10 cents lower than its price at the begin-ning of the month but still well above the $3.50 range it was trading at this time last year.Freeport McMoRan Corporate Responsibility magazine named Freeport McMoRan in their 2011 “100 Best Corporate Citizens List.” Freeport came in number 24 ahead of companies like Pepsico, Starbucks, and Disney. Companies were rated in seven categories including environ-ment, human rights, and employee relations. Freeport received its highest ranking in the human rights category. The

company tied for fi fth in the category with Alcoa. A recent Arizona Daily Star story said that Freeport is still trying to fi ll 500 vacancies at its four sites in Arizona: Miami, Morenci, Safford, and Sierrita. Freeport shares were trading at $50.90 Tuesday morning.Gold Hawk The Oracle Ridge Copper Mine is on schedule to return to production, Gold Hawk Chairman and CEO Kevin Drover, said in a press release earlier this month. Work is moving on many fronts. The initial designs for a 10-million-ton dry stack tailings pile and plant area are complete. “Test work is also scheduled to

begin an evaluation for a paste back-fi ll system. It is the Company’s desire to return as much as possible of new tailings generated by the planned operation back underground as feasible, thereby minimizing the mine’s environmental footprint,” the release said. Gold Hawk also said that environ-mental studies are underway. The re-lease stated, “Water quality sampling has begun … [and] two air quality and weather monitoring stations have been constructed.”Other mining newsRenewed exploration is proposed

or underway at two more spots in southeastern Arizona. Millrock Resources, one of the companies exploring in the Copper

Creek area, announced it entered into an exploration agreement on the Ra-inville project. The project is located south of the Morenci mine. The agreement comes with an op-tion to purchase. In Pinal County, Nevada-based Gryphon Resources Inc. is exploring the Cruce Property it purchased early this year. Gryphon is searching for copper and gold documented by previous owners. “We’re pleased and cautiously optimistic about our progress with the Cruce Property,” President and CEO Alan Muller said in a press release. “In sum, our efforts to date continue to support our expectation that the Cruce Property has signifi cant gold and copper-porphyry potential.”

DePuy Orthopaedics, a division of Johnson& Johnson, has issued a worldwide recall ofit’s ASRTM Acetabular System for Total HipReplacement, after determining that these hipimplants may fail at an alarming rate. The“metal-on-metal” composition of these implantscan release particles into the patient, potentiallycausing serious and painful reactions — some-times requiring complete revision surgery.

Reportedly, Johnson & Johnson hasbeen seeking medical releases from recipients so that their claims adjustorscan speak with you directly and possiblytake down statements without your hav-ing counsel present – an unwise actionfor any recipient to do.

Having a defective hip implant in your bodyclearly demands having your own lawyer. You

must be very cautious with dealing with themanufacturer or its representative withoutproper legal representation.

If you have a DePuy ASRTM product,please call us immediately, as there aretime limits for filing a claim. You might already have problems with the implant aboutwhich you are unaware, so please contact us— and certainly do not forfeit your legal rightswithout talking to us.

Editor, Superior Sun: I would like to give my endorse-ment of Lynn Heglie for the position of Town Councilman for the Town of Superior. I have known Mr. Heglie for many years, as a friend, and, a neighbor. He has worked hard to create a vision for our town’s future, that is both economically positive, and, environmentally responsible. He has been committed, for example, to working with the B.H.. mine for a rapid, and, responsible, clean up of our neighborhood, which has been impacted by toxins from previous mining activities. Mr. Heglie has, also, been instru-mental in helping to create a multi-use area in our neighborhood that would permit people to have small businesses in their homes. Mr. Heglie’s vision for our future is a win-win situation. His reelection is something that will benefi t us all. Respectfully,/s/ Charles S. DavisonSuperior

By Taylor Sheaffer Ritter Of course, because I have luck like this, I headed over to the playing fi eld to shoot pictures of the softball team

and interview the girls…on the day that they had their blood drawn. This means there was no play from the girls who gave up their blood just hours earlier. I have a confession; I am not entirely wise when it comes to getting my blood drawn. One year, after getting my blood taken, I was overly eager to go shopping, which was next on the to-do list, and having gotten up way too early, passed out into the large fountain in the lobby. I routinely get woozy and want to be mollycoddled for the rest of the day after getting my blood taken, so I cannot imagine even considering going outside and playing softball. Ob-viously, the girls were cautioned against this and many of them heeded this warning; yet some of them were out throwing the ball around…still so much more than I would have even fathomed doing. This is dedication. So here I was with a team full of girls who really couldn’t do much due to lack of blood. I was standing there wanting to pass out just thinking of it. Instead, I managed to hold it together

and ask them how their season was going. As you may have noticed, the girls had a diffi cult season to start with…not too many wins in the beginning, and this is incredibly frustrating if you are an athlete. Let me explain, most softball teams will have some experience play-ing with each other through their years in Little League, yet this was not the case for the girls on the Panther softball team; many of the younger girls had never played with the older athletes on the team before this season so there was a bit of a learning curve. It takes some time to learn the abilities of your fellow players and to work as a real, technical unit. The last thing an athlete needs to be thinking about when they are playing is if they can trust that their teammate is going to be able to catch the ball, but if you have never played with someone, this naturally happens. As I spoke with the young ladies, this was easily their biggest hurdle to overcome. With Head Coach Carmen Preciado still out recovering from her knee surgery, I spoke with Assistant

Coach Anna Campos. When I asked what she felt has been the highlight of the season thus far, she said, “I think there has been a lot of growth, I’ve seen a lot of determination. They had a really rough beginning of the season, but I think they are going to bring it together.” Coach Preciado and Coach Campos have kept a positive attitude throughout the season, always having faith in their girls and being able to see the bigger picture. Coach Campos explained, “With Mikee (Coach Preciado) being out, that had a lot to do with them questioning ‘Can we really go to state? Can we really do this?’ but they proved it with those two wins at Thunderbird and Salt River. Salt River was a big one,” detailing some of the obstacles the team has had to overcome. On top of these obstacles, some of the team members are nursing injuries: Alia has a knee injury, Andrea is nursing a leg muscle injury and Christina has been out for two practices due to injury…there is no question that these girls are giving it their all.

By William Loehr Asarco has partnered with the Foundation for Blind Children’s (FBC) to underwrite fi ve legs of Mike Armstrong’s historic trek across Arizona. Mike Armstrong is attempting to be the fi rst blind person to hike the Arizona Trail, which stretches from Mexico to Utah, approximately 800 miles. This route will take him through the nearby towns of Oracle, Kearny, and Superior and also by the Ray Mine. There are 43 Passages on the Arizona Trail and FBC is attempting to raise $1,000 for each passage. Asarco is a

Regional Sponsor and as such, Asarco will be listed next to the fi ve passages it is sponsoring. This donation will allow fi ve blind students a chance to attend the FBC’s summer camp program. The Summer Camp is a unique camp for blind students and is often the only camp they will attend. The four, week-long camps are designed for complete immersion into four areas of development to produce independent young adults and raise their quality of life with a focus on Literacy with Assistive Technology, Wilderness, Sports and Life Skills. Having lost sight 14 years ago due to non-diabetic retinopathy, Armstrong has hiked the Grand Canyon rim-to-rim and set a world record by reaching the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro with seven other blind hikers. Asarco’s Bill Loehr hiked in a mile to meet up with Mike and his two guides (Ben Cane and Yancey Herriage) and their support vehicle person (Anthony Herri-age) just before reaching their 200 mile marker accomplishment. The pictures in the attachments are at the end of Passage #12 that started on Mt. Lemmon and fi nished at American Flag Trailhead - FR 38 near the town of Oracle. FBC is an Arizona-based non-profi t organization that creates opportunities for visually impaired individuals.

The trail begins at the Coronado National Memorial near the U.S.-Mexico border and terminates near the Arizona-Utah border north of Jacob Lake.

With the good news that the girls are going to regionals, they are now fo-cused on powering through these games and then hopefully heading to state. I spoke with a few of the players, including two of the senior players who were (sort of) able to practice. Allysia Perea told me that she has really en-joyed getting to know the girls, “mak-ing a big improvement on softball and knowing that we can make it through with our scores since we have improved so much.” When I asked her about what has been difficult, she smiled as if there really wasn’t that much difficulty at all then finally said, “figuring out people’s positions and what they are used to, you know some people are used to short stop, some are used to second…then giving everyone the chance to play positions they would like to try.” When asked about what she was ex-cited about, Allysia did not hold back: “Making it to regionals, playoffs and hopefully making it to state!” From here I wandered over to a coy Sabrina Castillo, sister of Dominque, who seemed to embody her statement when she said she really enjoyed “play-ing with my friends and having fun.” Sabrina was easily one of the more playful players that I observed during my time with the team, very cheerful and positive. Sabrina explained that while it has been difficult “trying to work together as a team and getting the right spots for everyone,” she is

really looking forward to going to state and expressed that it will be important to “work together and not get down on ourselves” during this long haul through playoffs to state. What can I say, this child is wise. The first senior I spoke with was the lovely Andrea Betancourt; she was incredibly genuine in expressing the enjoyment she has had in working with her teammates and getting to know them. She was also pretty excited to be back out on the field uninjured. Andrea has been playing since she was able to enter the Little League field for play years ago. Andrea expressed the difficulty the team felt at the beginning of the season, having not really played with each other, “It was difficult at first to play together as a team because, except for a few of us, we had never really done that before.” Andrea explained how excited she has been that the team has been coming together as a cohesive unit and really playing well together, “We are really excited about going to regionals and hopefully state.” Following graduation, Andrea is look-ing forward to going into cosmetology and if she goes into it with the same at-titude and dedication she has expressed towards softball, she will be producing some epic results. Following speaking with Andrea, I cruised over to her fellow senior, team captain Ana Campos; through watch-ing Ana play volleyball, basketball and now softball, it has been easy to notice her natural athletic talent and the fact that she emanates a boundless positive spirit that leads the team. Ana explained, “It’s been a lot of fun getting to know everyone, getting to know the freshmen, you know, it’s fun when you get a group of girls together and see how the team meshes.” This obviously led to what’s been difficult this season and her response echoed that of her fellow players, “It’s hard sometimes to figure out what works best for what players and then sticking them in there…it was hard to help the younger girls through some of the hard games we played; you know seeing a strike come down the base, but it has gotten so much better.” Anyone who has been watching the team has undoubtedly noticed that the team has become a much tighter ma-chine with all of the cogs fitting nicely into place. Ana is looking forward to “going farther in state than we did last year, because I know we have a lot of potential with this group, I think we have a really good shot at it.” Following the upcoming games and then graduation, Ana is heading to Cen-tral Arizona College at the Coolidge campus and will hopefully continuing her career in softball. As there were no games played last week for either the softball or baseball team, there was a bit of a break. Both teams traveled to Veritas Prep on Monday to play and then returned home for a game against Salt River on Tuesday. At press time, the scores from these games were not yet known. Make-up games against San Carlos and San Manuel will be played in Superior on Wednesday, April 20, and Thursday, April 21, at 4 p.m. Come out and support your Panthers!

She has marched down Main on stilts in a parade or just walked around making people laugh and creating brightly hued balloon animals to give to children. She has recently started a community theater project in Superior and information on this can be seen in flyers about town.

safe.” The teacher briefly spoke about the responsibility we all have in taking care of the earth, environment and animals. Then she told the students that storybooks tell us important information as well as taking us to places we have never been. Kids then created their own sto-rybooks about the books they read and the the costume they wore using stickers, paper, crayons and stencils with the teaching staff assisting with writing words. Pinal County’s Read to Kids Day program provided a free book for ev-ery child. Shannon Ortiz of the Pinal County Attorney’s Office read to children and gave each one a special wristband with a “Say No to Drugs” message. Also on hand to make the day a special one for kids were Lynn Heglie of Porter’s Cafe and the Superior Town Council; members of the Superior Fire Department; Chris Tomerlin, Superior Substance Abuse Coalition Co-chairman; Leandra Romero, Superior High School student; and Christine from Jeffrey Ferns’s CUE Youth Organization. The event was sponsored by the Cazaeyc Organization.

By Taylor Sheaffer Ritter I don’t know if you have ever hit that moment after you have had a few beers—you know that moment where you badly need food. I hit that moment the other night and sadly it was just as Porter’s was closing its kitchen. Bummer. I experienced, for about two min-utes, this aching moment of despair until my fiancé’s brain kicked in and remembered that La Piedra Roja has some seriously incredible street tacos; AND they have them until 11 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. We wandered down Main Street from the Porter’s/VFW district and found that La Piedra Roja is in won-

Taylor’s Take: Cafe Piedra Roja or Oh Goodness…the street tacos

derful walking distance from these fine drinking establishments. This is a plus for those who over-indulge and should definitely not be operating a motor vehicle. In truth, I really feel bad for the kids at La Piedra Roja since we did not warn them that we were coming. I say “warn” because this was not just Ben and me: this was Ben and me, Ben’s father and then every friend in town that we could get ahold of, totaling… like 30 people. Even though we and our friends stampeded towards their establish-ment like a heard of thirsty elephants hitting the watering hole after the dry season, the staff at La Piedra Roja remained calm under fire. Not only were their street tacos incredible, they were cheap; a mere $1.25 each, this is a real deal. So you could basically stuff yourself for under $10 and we all did this a few times over. The tacos are available with carne asada, pork and chicken; once you were served these on a plain paper plate (street taco style); you had a wide variety of toppings from dif-ferent types of salsas to guacamole to different veggies to top the tacos with. Another hot item on the menu is the quesadillas made with some un-known, exceedingly delicious white cheese, which were also ordered in abundance to the point that no one re-ally knew whose food was theirs and everyone was sharing openly with the rest of the group. I sat back, happily dipping my que-sadillas between the sour cream and the guacamole, enjoying the company of my friends in the evening glow. Adding to this wonderful atmosphere was possibly the most adorable two or three year old girl I had ever seen, who was somehow connected to the staff and wandered between the tables asking how everyone was. Everyone sat around, beers in hand, and reminisced on how truly excel-lent these tacos are. Billy Holmquist likened them to the street tacos in LA, whereas Ben likened them to the tacos in downtown Salt Lake and so on, each friend having a place from which these tacos were either as good as or topped the resident street tacos; either way, we were all in agreement that these were some of the best street tacos we had ever experienced. One of the best parts about this was the simple fact that La Piedra Roja had set a place for anyone to hang out in who was simply not done with their night by 8 p.m. and this was very much needed. Sadly, since this was a spur of the moment thing, I did not take my camera with me, so there are no pictures of these truly fabulous tacos. I had been told about these tacos by numerous friends, friends who went on for the better part of a quarter hours describing these tacos and yet every single time I had craved food after the hour of 8 p.m. on a weekend and not wanted to cook, I somehow failed to remember La Piedra Roja’s street tacos. I officially want to slap myself or rather the memory center of my brain for all the missed opportuni-ties to eat these tacos. If you have not tried the street tacos that blessed La Piedra Roja bestows upon us on Fridays and Saturday nights, I cannot impress upon you enough how delicious they are. TRY THEM!

Community outreach …Resolution Copper contractor Cementation recently presented a donation to the Superior Food Bank. Shown are Sandra Kastner of Cementation and Mel Korb of the Superior Food Bank. Kastner says that Cementation USA has been contracted by Resolution Copper Mining to sink the Number 10 shaft from the surface to the Neversweat then blind sink the final depth of more than 6,000 feet. The existing Number 9 shaft will be rehabilitated and dewatered, she says. It will eventually be extended as a part of the mine’s permanent ventilation system. “Periodically during the year we have functions to raise money for local charities and groups that may need extra funding,” she says, explaining Cementation’s commitment to reaching out to and helping the community, including the donation to the food bank.
