By Lance Cpl. Phillip ClarkCAMP LEATHERNECK, Helmand province, Islamic Republic of Afghanistan – A four-year-old boy rode in a parade with his father, who was in his unmistakably identifi able uniform: the Marine Corps dress blues. From that day forward, the Kearny, Ariz., child wanted to be a United States Marine, exactly like his father. That young boy was Matthew E. Jenkins, and he is now living his dream of being a Marine as a corporal and intelligence specialist for 2nd Marine Division (Forward). As an intelligence specialist his job consists of gathering information about enemy activity that is happening in the area of operations for 2nd MarDiv (Fwd) and providing it to his section leaders and command members. “I wanted this job, because I thought about my future inside

and outside the Marine Corps. Also my dad was a Marine, and his father before him, and his father before him; and as far back as I can remember with my dad’s side of the family, the males were Marines,” said the Ray High School graduate. “I fi gured I would get a good job while I was in and one that would benefi t me when I left the Marine Corps.” Jenkins is currently on his second deployment overseas. His fi rst was in Iraq with Regimental Combat Team 8, and now he is here with the division. “I think he is handling his second deployment really well, and he shows great Marine qualities,” said Capt. Paul C. Croom the 2nd, the production and analysis offi cer in charge for Task Force Leatherneck, headed by 2nd MarDiv (Fwd). “There will be a few turnovers throughout the year when people go home and

others replace them, but since he is here for the full year, his capability and expertise will make that change a lot smoother, and he will be able to handle that change profi ciently.” Jenkins also supports subordinate units in the area and recently visited 3rd Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion, 2nd MarDiv (Fwd), in southern Helmand province. He went there to support the unit with its shortage of Marines in the intelligence section. “For their intelligence section, they only have a total of four people [who are junior Marines] -- two of them worked in the [Combat Operations Center] day and night shift, and two worked in the [Counter Intelligence/ Human Intelligence Branch] day and night shift; and one of them had to go down to

By Lana Jones The Town of Kearny is proposing a property tax increase. The Town will hold a public hearing on the increase May 25 at 7:30 pm at Town Hall. The proposal would raise primary taxes by over a third. The increase is necessary to maintain the town’s tax revenue at $128,500. This

revenue has been unchanged for the past few years. The increase would not be necessary except for last year’s decrease in property tax rates. Kearny dropped their tax rate last year after a jump in their centrally assessed value. Gary Eide, Kearny Town Manager, said that APS had parked property worth around

$2,000,000 in the town. The town decided to decrease tax rates at that time to maintain their tax revenue at $128,500. Now APS has removed $1,600,000 in property. “Although our real property assessment went up,” Eide said, “our overall assessed valuation went down.” In order to make up the

difference and keep tax revenue even, the town is proposing a tax increase. “If we just left everything alone we would be short,” said Eide. At current rates tax revenue would fall below $100,000. It would be $32,731 lower than last year. “It would be disastrous for the Town of Kearny,” he said. Eide pointed out that while

the increase would be close to $53 per $100,000 in assessed value, most homes in Kearny are assessed at closer to $50,000. For a home assessed at $50,000, property taxes would increase about $26. At the public hearing, the Town Council will determine whether or not to maintain the $128,500 tax revenue or

reduce it. “People in the community can come and listen to the explanation and they can make their concerns known to the Council,” Eide said. The Council will make a decision on the property tax rate at the hearing. The new rate would go into effect next fi scal year, which starts on July 1.

EASTERN PINAL COUNTY, Ariz. – Fifteen students will receive 17 degrees and certifi cates on Friday, May 13, during the 2011 Central Arizona College Aravaipa Campus commencement ceremony. The outdoor ceremony begins at 6:30 p.m. on the Aravaipa Campus which is located at 80440 East Aravaipa Road just off of Arizona State Highway 77 between Mammoth and Winkelman. Pete Guzman, Pinal County native and a highly-respective educator in the county, will serve as the commencement speaker,

while Amanda Hughes and Aracelli Castañeda have been chosen as the student speakers for the ceremony. Castañeda is an All-Arizona Academic Third Team recipient. A 1969 graduate of Hayden High School, Guzman eventually earned his associate of arts degree in 1971 and his bachelor’s of arts degree in 1973. He later earned his master’s in education degree and his administration certifi cate from Northern Arizona University. Guzman worked for the Hayden-Winkelman District

as a teacher, coach, athletic director and principal. In 2001 he left the district to build the Cobre Valley Institute of Technology in Globe, from the ground up. The C.V.I.T. now has a membership of fi ve local schools. In 2002, Guzman was named the superintendent in the Superior Unifi ed School District. Today, he is superintendent of two school districts and is the principal of the John F. Kennedy Elementary School, Superior Junior High School and Superior High School.

In 2007, Guzman was selected by the Arizona School Boards Association to receive the All-Arizona Superintendents Award. This summer, he and his wife Roberta, will celebrate 39 years of marriage. During the graduation ceremony, CAC students will don a variety of medallions, tassels, stoles and colors signifying their accomplishments in the classroom. Some students will graduate with honors after posting a minimum grade point average of 3.5, while several students will earn both a degree and

certifi cate. Students gold stoles are members of the Phi Theta Kappa International Honor Society, while students donning blue cords are members of the STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) program. Graduates wearing white tassels will receive associate of arts degrees, while gold tassels signify associate of science. Associate of business degree recipients sport drab tassels, associate of applied science students wear green, and those earning an associate of general studies degree don gray tassels.

Students earning certifi cates have caps adorned with blue tassels. Female graduates at the Aravaipa Campus outnumber male graduates 12-3, with the oldest graduate crossing the outdoor stage at the age of 49 and the youngest graduate being 21. For the district, CAC will deliver 653 degrees and certifi cates to 616 students with 399 representing women. The oldest graduate is 71, while the youngest is just 17. Both students will graduate from at the Signal Peak Campus.

Celebration of CAC’s graduating students at the Aravaipa Campus begins Friday, May 13, at 6:30 p.m.

Editor, Copper Basin News: During the recent Junior High School baseball tournament, an event occurred that demonstrated an apparent lack of district support. An incident involving the lead umpire and the head coach of the Ray Junior High School Bearcats, led to the coach being confi ned to the dugout. Without an assistant coach (paid or volunteer), or the presence of a school representative, the game was in jeopardy of being forfeited. As a parent, I fi nd it extremely unfortunate that the coach has had no additional adult(s) available to him, to assist him with the coaching duties or to act as a representative of the school. Throughout the state, there are many volunteer coaches yet, several people here have,

Margaret (Peggy) Headley passed away peacefully on Friday, April 29, 2011 at Melody Care Home in Apache Junction. Peggy was born in Grand Rapids, Michigan on January 6, 1926, the middle child of 11 children born to Harry and Clara Vosburg. Peggy moved to Arizona in 1944 with her best friend Polly. She and Polly hitchhiked back to Michigan in 1945 and returned to Arizona by bus in 1946. Peggy married Thomas Headley in 1946. In 1952 they moved to Ray, Arizona when Thomas went to work at the mine at Ray. He worked at the mine until his death in 1976. They had three children in Ray and moved the family to Kearny in 1959. Peggy worked as a waitress and bartender. She was always very involved in her children’s lives, even as they became adults. Her greatest joy was her family; Granny Peggy, as

her grandchildren and great grandchildren referred to her, cherished each and everyone of them. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her. She was preceded in death by her parents, Harry and Clara Vosburg; her husband, Thomas Headley; her sisters, Lova Brilinski, Avola Allen, Bonnie Pelton, Jackie Hernandez and Rose Leedon, who died April 28, 2011; brothers, Samuel Vosburg and John Vosburg; and great-granddaughter, Jerica Faith Martinez. She is survived by her brothers, Charles (Dot) Vosburg and Harry (Katie) Vosburg; her sister, Ruth (Charles) Hill; her children, Chuck and Norma Headley, Dave and Debra Headley and Ann and Dale Ramsey; her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, Jon (Jamie) Ramsey and Stephanie, Roger and Clay, Trudi Turner and Kyliegh and Hagan, Tony (Mickey) Pretti and Austin, Anthony, Allison and Annali,

apparently, been rebuffed by the Principal/Athletic Director for Ray Junior High School, when seeking to fi ll that role. Without assistant coaches, it would seem to be incumbent upon the school to provide a representative to be in attendance at school events. In the above instance, it was fortunate that a school offi cial was in attendance at the game, as a spectator and was able to assume the role of an assistant coach. In closing, I would hope that, in the future, we would have assistant coaches and that the school representatives would be in attendance at school-sponsored extra-curricular activities. Our children deserve our unqualifi ed support, as well as the very best we and the school district have to offer. Let us work together to make this happen. Respectfully, /s/ Mitchell Collings

Editor, Copper Basin News: After reading the comments made by my opponent in last week’s Copper Basin News, I thought it would be in the best interest of the Town and the Hayden Town Council to clarify and inform all Hayden residents of the true facts regarding the Town of Hayden’s Wastewater Project. The council along with the town manager has and continues to constantly work on this project to expedite it in a timely fashion. I would like to confi rm that the town has “NOT LOST” any funding for our wastewater project. On the contrary, the council and town manager have corrected items that have prevented the loss of any funding and has secured the funding for this project. As mayor of Hayden, I along with the council have continuously worked towards keeping this project on task. To confi rm my facts that I have stated I have included emails written by our consultant (Anastacia Wyatt) and a representative from ADEQ (Linda C Taunt).Statement from Anastacia Wyatt: Mayor Badillo has proactively and

successfully worked with many

stakeholders in this project that include: the USDA/RD (United States Department of Agriculture/Rural Development), the ADEQ (The Arizona Department of Environmental Quality), CAAG (Central Arizona Association of Governments), WIFA (Water Infrastructure Finance Authority), Asarco, Gila County, Pinal County and the Arizona Department of Housing. Mayor Badillo reviewed all funding opportunities to obtain grant funding that would offset costs to this project. WIFA grant funding was secured in the amount of $35,000 toward engineering of the project. CDBG grant funding was secured for consultant project management expenses and engineering expenses. USDA funding is secure and is a priority for the USDA offi ce due to the progress that has been made in the past 4 years. Between 2003 and 2006, the project was at a standstill. After 2006, under Mayor Badillo’s direction, the USDA saw that the Town was serious about completing this project as quickly as possible and the USDA has remained committed to providing grant funding to this project. Last

week, USDA was in contact with the Town’s consultant to gain additional information to fi nalize and secure the needed funding for the project. The original funding amount in 2003 was approximately $1.5 million, of which $1,000,000 was grant funding and approximately $500,000 was loan. The USDA is now budgeting for full grant funding in the amount of $4,705,000, which is the project’s estimated full cost. The Town just completed the CAAG 208 Environmental Review Process, which is a careful and rigorous review of the project. This process took over 6 months to complete and was reviewed by the CAAG Regional Council and Management Committee for fi nal approval. It was then approved at the State level. The Town had to secure approval for the project from both Pinal and Gila Counties, and local Native American Tribes. The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Federal environmental review was completed in 2010 and approved at the State and Federal level. Completion of this requirement gives the green light for project construction.

An Economic and Fiscal review was completed to determine the economic impact this project would have on the residents and on the Town’s operations. Based on this review, the USDA is able to understand the tremendous detrimental economic impact a $500,000 loan would have on the project. Therefore, the USDA is doing its best to secure full grant funding to alleviate the burden any loans would create. A Preliminary Engineering Report was completed and submitted to WIFA and the ADEQ. The Town recently went out to bid for repairs for the Force Main Extension. The bids came in higher than expected and the Town will re-bid this to meet federal funding requirements, which will allow reimbursement for this portion of the project by the USDA. The project has been complicated with a lot of requirements from many agencies. Mayor Badillo has diligently worked with all agencies to meet requirements and make steady progress that has pleased the funders and review agencies to poise this project and the Town for the best funding scenario possible. Due to her

Letter to the Editor: Clarifi cation on statements made by opponentefforts and commitment, we are in the fi nal design stages of the project and ready for construction as soon as fi nal funding is secured through the federal government. /s/ Anastacia Wyatt, PMC 916-231-2232Statement from Linda C. Taunt: 2004-2009 attempted to come to a mutually benefi cial agreement with Winkelman that would provide quality wastewater treatment and service to both communities. Failing to reach an agreement, in February, 2009, the mayor with the support of council chose to go it alone. Since that time, tremendous progress has been made on the multi-million dollar project.Original plan was for a treatment plant only. Soon the town realized the entire collection system was in bad disrepair and had to be replaced. The town commissioned the consultant to design both and sought an additional $3 million in grant funding for the collection system. The town got Asarco to donate the 2.2 acre treatment plant site to the town The permit from ADEQ for the

treatment plant is in public notice and will be issued next monthWith ADEQ’s help, the town was successful in refusing CAAG’s request for unnecessary, additional treatment that would have added to the plant’s capital costs. Mr. Vasquez claims that the Town was in jeopardy of losing the funding. He is referring to the late submittal of an annual report to the Arizona Corporation Commission for 2009 which could have resulted in the loss of funding if it had not been corrected. As soon as the issue was discovered, the town attorney fi led the necessary report and USDA assured the town the funding was secure. USDA has, in fact, praised the town for the progress on the project in the past two years. Now that the federal government has passed a budget, the town is waiting for USDA to give them the green light to proceed to put the project out to bid. Within three months of the green light, construction will begin. /s/ Linda C. Taunt Respectfully,/s/ Monica BadilloMayor and Mayoral CandidateTown of Hayden

ARIZONA PUBLIC SERVICE COMPANY AND TOWN OF KEARNY, ARIZONA

Section 1. - Grant of Franchise: There is hereby granted to Arizona Public Service Company, a corporation organized and existing under and by virtue of the laws of the State of Arizona (herein called “Grantee”), its successors and assigns, a franchise (herein called the “Franchise”) to construct, maintain and operate its electrical system, as defined herein, upon, over, along, across and under the present and future public rights-of-way. These rights-of-way include but are not limited to streets, alleys, ways and highways in the Town of Kearny, Arizona (herein called “Town”). Grantee’s system includes electric power lines, together with all necessary or desirable appurtenances, including, but not limited to, poles, towers, wires, cables, conduits, transmission lines, transformers, switches and communication lines for its own use. This Franchise is for Grantee’s use of Town’s public rights-of-way to supply and deliver electric energy to Town, its successors, the inhabitants thereof, and all individuals and entities either within or beyond the limits thereof, for all purposes.Section 2. – Grantee’s Compliance with Town Practice; Plans Submitted for Approval; Town Construction near Grantee’s Facilities: All construction under this Franchise shall be performed in accordance with established practices of Town with respect to such public rights-of-way. Such construction shall be completed within a reasonable time. Before Grantee makes any installations in the public rights-of-way, Grantee shall upon request or direction from Town obtain a construction permit and submit for approval a map showing the location of such proposed installations to Town’s Engineer. Town and Grantee agree and understand that there may be instances when Grantee is required to make repairs that are of an emergency nature. Grantee shall notify Town prior to such repairs, to the extent practicable, and shall obtain the necessary permits in a reasonable time after notification, showing the work performed in the public rights-of-way. If Town authorizes either directly or through a contractor any construction project adjacent to or near Grantee’s facilities operated pursuant to this Franchise, Town shall include in all such construction specifications, bids, and contracts, a requirement that the contractor or his designee must comply with the overhead power line safety laws (A.R.S. § 40-360.41 et. seq. as amended).Section 3. – Construction and Relocation of Grantee’s Facilities; Payment: All facilities installed or constructed pursuant to this Franchise shall be so located or relocated and so erected as to minimize the interference with traffic, or other authorized uses over, under or through the public rights-of-way. Furthermore, Grantee shall not install, construct, maintain or use its facilities in a manner that damages or interferes with any existing facilities of another utility located in the public rights-of-way and agrees to relocate its facilities, if necessary, to accommodate another facility relocation that has a prior rights interest in the public rights-of-way. Activities related to the construction of Grantee’s facilities within the rights-of-way such as traffic control, backfilling, compaction and paving, and the location or relocation of lines and related facilities shall be subject to regulation by Town. Grantee shall keep accurate records of the location of all facilities in the public rights-of-way and furnish them to Town upon request. Upon completion of new or relocation construction of underground facilities in the public rights-of-way, Grantee shall, upon request or direction from Town, provide Town’s Engineer with corrected drawings showing the location of the underground facilities in those cases where the actual location differs significantly from the proposed location. Grantee shall provide to Town, upon Town’s request, the actual location of such new or relocated facilities in the public rights-of-way in an electronic format. Such format shall conform to utility industry best-practice standards.A. If Town requires Grantee to relocate Grantee’s facilities which are located in private easements obtained by Grantee prior to Town’s acquisition of said property from which the facilities must be relocated, the entire cost of relocating Grantee’s facilities (including the cost of purchasing a new private easement if necessary) shall be borne by Town. Town shall also bear the entire cost of all subsequent

relocations of the relocated facilities required by Town, until such time as Town condemns or purchases Grantee’s private easement.B. Except as covered in Paragraph A above, Grantee shall bear the entire cost of relocating its facilities located on public rights-of-way, the relocation of which is necessary for Town’s carrying out of its governmental functions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Grantee is requested to perform work of a temporary nature on a governmental project to relieve construction problems which could be relieved by other means, the cost of said temporary work will be borne by Town or Town’s contractor working on the governmental project. Governmental functions are those duties imposed on Town, where the duties involve a general public benefit, not in the nature of a corporate or business undertaking for the corporate benefit and interest of Town. Governmental functions include, but are not limited to, the following:Any and all improvements to Town’s public rights-of-way;Establishing and maintaining domestic water systems, sanitary sewers, storm drains, and related facilities;Establishing and maintaining municipal parks, parking spaces, parkways, pedestrian malls, or grass, shrubs, trees and other vegetation for the purpose of landscaping any street or public property;Providing fire protection and other public safety functions; andCollection and disposal of garbage and recyclables.The relocation of Grantee’s facilities necessary to carry out the exercise of the Town’s police power for urban renewal.C.

Town agrees to notify Grantee during the planning and design of Town’s projects in rights-of-way that may require relocation of Grantee’s facilities and to coordinate its construction plans and schedules with Grantee to determine the most cost-effective design to mitigate Grantee’s cost to relocate its facilities.Town agrees it will not require Grantee to relocate its facilities located within the public rights-of-way without providing Grantee adequate space within the rights-of-way to relocate the facilities that must be moved.Town will not plant any tree that can normally grow to a height of more than 25 feet under or adjacent to Grantee’s overhead power lines in the public rights-of-way.

Grantee shall not, however, pay said franchise fee on revenues charged to Grantee’s retail customers by third party electric service providers. Said payments shall be in lieu of any and all fees, charges or exaction of any kind otherwise assessed by Town in any way associated with Grantee’s use of the rights-of-way, including but not limited to, the construction of Grantee’s facilities hereunder or for inspections thereof during the term of this Franchise. For the purpose of verifying amounts payable hereunder, the books and records of Grantee shall be subject to inspection by duly authorized officers or representatives of Town at reasonable times.

Patrol Base Wolf Pack and I was there to fill his slot,” said Jenkins. “I was the only intelligence analyst besides the chief and the [deputy] for the day shift. I created all the intelligence projects for them during the day, and I gave multiple patrol briefs and threat briefs, along with other assessment projects.” Jenkins said he really enjoyed being at the battalion level because it allowed him to see how his actions supported the unit’s mission. He suggested every junior Marine should experience it, so they can see their work first-hand put into practice. “I really enjoyed being at the battalion level because I got to see what happened right there when I made a decision, rather than hear about it later and not see it actually take place,” said Jenkins. “I recommend every junior Marine should be at the battalion level for at least a little while to get that experience.” Croom believes Jenkins is an outstanding Marine, and the section decided to send Jenkins to 3rd LAR to help support the unit because of his performance.

“It was a joint decision among the G-2 [intelligence section], and he was definitely the best individual to send to fill their need,” said Croom. “He has always been the go-to guy in our section. He produces very quickly and the quality is very high, although he hasn’t been in the Marine Corps all that long, that short term is not reflected in the quality of products he produces.” Jenkins’ dedication to a job well-done at 3rd LAR has made him an asset to his section and the mission of Task Force Leatherneck. “I was absolutely pleased with what he did down at 3rd LAR, as well as the division, the commanding general, several units, and Regional Command [Southwest],” said Croom. “They all have benefited immensely from what he did down there, and the knowledge and insight he brought back with him. It was certainly a boom for us individually, but other units and organizations also benefited from his experience, and that is going to shape the campaign plan and a lot of the tactical and operational movements we do from here forward.” Jenkins graduated from Ray High School in 2007.

These rights-of way include, but are not limited to, streets, alleys, ways, bridges, highways, public utility easements, and public places within the Town of Kearny, Arizona (herein called “Town”). Grantee’s system includes a natural gas and/or artificial gas transmission and distribution system of gas mains, pipelines and conduits, together with all necessary or desirable appurtenances including, but not limited to pipes, laterals, service lines, pumps, manholes, meters, gauges, valves, traps, fences, vaults, regulators, regulator stations, appliances, attachments and related equipment, facilities and appurtenances for the purpose of supplying natural gas and/or artificial gas, including gas manufactured by any method whatsoever, and/or gas containing a mixture of natural gas and such artificial gas (herein all types of gas will be collectively referred to as “gas”) to Town, its successors, the inhabitants thereof, and all individuals and entities, either within or beyond the limits thereof, for all purposes (herein called the “Franchise”).Section 2 – Grantee’s Compliance with Town Practice; Plans Submitted for Approval; Town Construction Near Grantee’s Facilities 2.1 Grantee shall perform all construction under this Franchise in accordance with established industry standards, permit requirements, and ordinances of the Town. Without limitation, Grantee shall comply with ordinances of the Town regarding street cuts. Such construction shall be completed within a reasonable time. Before Grantee makes any installations in the public rights-of-way or public utility easements, Grantee shall apply for and obtain from Town such permit or permits as are required by Town to be issued for other similar construction or work in the public rights-of-way or public utility easements and submit for approval a map showing the location of such proposed installations to the Town Engineer. Unless necessitated by emergency or exigent circumstances, should Grantee commence work hereunder without obtaining applicable permits, then Grantee shall pay to Town a stipulated penalty of equal to one-hundred fifty percent (150%) of the applicable permit fees. Upon request, Grantee shall also provide the Town with, on an annual basis, its known proposed capital plan and reasonably foreseeable future corridor plans for all improvements in the Town’s planning area. 2.2 If Town undertakes, either directly or through a contractor, any construction project adjacent to Grantee’s facilities operated pursuant to this Franchise, Town shall notify Grantee of such construction project. Grantee will take steps as are reasonably necessary to maintain safe conditions throughout the construction project, including but not limited to the temporary removal or barricading of Grantee’s pipelines or equipment, the location of which may create an unsafe condition in view of the equipment to be utilized or the methods of construction to be followed by the Contractor, at Grantee’s cost.Section 3 – Construction and Relocation of Grantee’s Facilities; Payment 3.1 All facilities installed or constructed pursuant to this Franchise shall be so located or relocated and so erected as to minimize the interference with traffic and other authorized uses over, under or through the public rights-of-way and public utility easements.A. Grantee shall coordinate the installation, construction, use, operation and relocation of its facilities within Town as appropriate to enable Town to better plan, facilitate and protect public safety and convenience. Without limiting the foregoing, Grantee shall provide reasonable advance notice of work hereunder to Town and any persons who may be affected by such work. Grantee shall provide Town with installation records to facilitate such coordination and shall plan, respond, facilitate and design its facilities in coordination with Town input, as Town may request or require for its purposes. Without limiting the foregoing, upon reasonable notice by Town of the proposed paving of a public right-of-way, Grantee shall extend its facilities hereunder in order to reasonably avoid the need to subsequently cut the paved right-of-way. Unless reasonably necessary due to emergency or exigent circumstances, Grantee shall not cut any Town street for a period of three (3) years following construction, repaving, or widening of such street.

B. Grantee shall not install, construct, maintain or use its facilities in a manner that damages or interferes with any existing facilities of another utility located in the public right-of-way or public utility easement and agrees to relocate its facilities, if necessary, to accommodate another facility relocation that has a prior rights interest in the public rights-of-way or public utility easements.3.2 Those phases of construction of Grantee’s facilities relating to traffic control, backfilling, compaction and paving, as well as the location or relocation of pipelines and related facilities herein provided for shall be subject to regulation by Town. Pursuant to A.R.S. § 40-360.30 and any other applicable law, Grantee shall keep installation records of the location of all facilities in the public rights-of-way and public utility easements and will furnish or provide access to them to Town upon request.A. If Town requires Grantee to relocate Grantee’s facilities which are located in private easements obtained by Grantee prior to Town’s acquisition of said property from which the facilities must be relocated, then: a) the costs and expenditures associated with relocating Grantee’s facilities shall be borne by Grantee in accordance with Section 7.2 of this Franchise Agreement; except that b) the cost of purchasing of a new private easement if necessary shall be borne by Town, provided, however, such relocation is not essential to the health, welfare and safety of the general public. Notwithstanding the foregoing, should the Grantee obtain an easement prior to or during the development stage of a parcel, the Grantee shall abandon the easement, and based on final development plans approved by the Town, either (at the Town’s discretion) leave the facility as is, or relocate its utilities elsewhere within the future rights-of-way corridor. The development process is defined as the stage after a pre-application conference with the Town, which has occurred on the subject property.B. Except as covered in Paragraph A above, Grantee shall bear the entire cost of relocating its facilities located on public rights-of-way or public utility easements, subject to Section 7.2 of this Franchise Agreement, the relocation of which is necessary for Town to carry out its governmental functions. All functions of Town, which are not specifically determined by law to be proprietary, are governmental. Governmental functions include, but are not limited to, the following:(1) Any and all improvement to Town streets, alleys and avenues, and other Town property;(2) Establishing and maintaining storm drains, water lines, sewer lines, effluent lines, water wells, wastewater treatment facilities and any other facilities related thereto;(3) Establishing and maintaining municipal parks, parking, parkways, pedestrian malls, or grass, shrubs, trees and other vegetation for the purpose of landscaping any street or public property;(4) Providing fire protection and other public safety functions;(5) Collection and disposal of solid waste and recyclables;(6) Providing public transportation.C. The Town reserves its prior superior right to use the public rights-of-way and Town property, including the surface areas, for all public purposes, funded with public funds. When the Town uses its prior superior right to the public rights-of-way, or other Town property, the Grantee shall move its property that is located in the public rights-of-way, or on other Town property, at its own cost, to such location as the Town directs.D. Town will bear the reasonable cost of relocating any facilities, the relocation of which is necessitated by the construction of improvements by or on behalf of Town in furtherance of a proprietary function except as otherwise specifically provided herein.E. Subject to Section 7.2, Grantee shall bear the entire cost of relocating any facilities regardless of the function served, where the Town has a prior superior right to use the public right-of-way or public utility easement, or where Town facilities or other facilities occupying public right-of-way or public utility easement under authority of a Town permit, license or franchise, which must be relocated are already located in the public right-of-way or public utility easement and the conflict between the Grantee’s potential facilities and the existing facilities can only be resolved expeditiously as determined by Town, by the movement of the existing Town or permittee facilities. The Town and the Grantee agree that Town is not a party to disputes among permittees using the public right-of-way and public utility easements.F. If Town participates in the cost of relocating Grantee’s facilities for any reason, the cost to the Town shall be limited to those costs and expenditures reasonably incurred for relocating such facilities in accordance with Town ordinances and, where not in conflict therewith, applicable industry standards. Costs to the Town for relocation of Grantee’s facilities shall not include any upgrade or improvement of Grantee’s facilities as they existed prior to relocation. Prior to payment by Town, Grantee shall provide an itemization of

such costs and expenditures.G. Town will not exercise its right to require Grantee’s facilities to be relocated in an unreasonable or arbitrary manner, or to avoid its obligations under this Franchise.H. All underground abandoned lines shall continue to remain the property of the Grantee, unless the Grantee specifically acknowledges otherwise to the Town Engineer and such is accepted by the Town. Subject to reimbursement under Section 7.2, Grantee shall remove, at Grantee’s sole cost, abandoned lines at the request of Town when required to facilitate construction of any municipal project or as Town determines is reasonably necessary to protect public health and safety. Grantee may contract with Town contractor for such removal. Prior to removal of any abandoned lines, Grantee shall notify Town of its intent to remove abandoned lines and offer possession of said lines to Town.I. Grantee shall reimburse the Town for permit fees/costs and for pavement (cut surcharge) damages fees for the location (or relocation) of Grantee’s facilities. Reimbursement for permit fees/costs (i.e. plan review, inspection, etc.) and pavement (cut surcharge) damage fees is separate, and in addition to, any other Franchise fees included in this Agreement.Section 4 – Indemnification; Insurance4.1 Town shall in no way be liable or responsible for any accident or damage that may occur in the exercise of this Franchise by Grantee of its facilities under this Franchise, and the acceptance of this grant shall be deemed an agreement on the part of Grantee to indemnify and hold harmless the Town from and against any and all liability, loss, costs, legal fees, damages or any other expenses, which may be imposed on the Town by reason of the acts of theGrantee in the exercise of this Franchise, including the maintenance of barricades and traffic control devices in construction and maintenance areas. Grantee shall defend, indemnify, and save Town harmless from any expenses and losses incurred as a result of injury or damage to third persons occasioned by the exercise of this Franchise by Grantee, provided, however, that such claims, expenses and losses are not the result of any willful or grossly negligent acts of Town.4.2 Grantee shall maintain throughout the term of this Franchise liability insurance and/or a program of self-retention or general assets, to adequately insure and/or protect the legal liability of Grantee with respect to the installation, operation and maintenance of the gas lines together with all the necessary and desirable appurtenances authorized herein to occupy the public rights-of-way or public utility easements. Such insurance, self-retention or general asset program will provide protection for bodily injury and property damage including, without otherwise limiting the foregoing, contractual liability and legal liability for damages arising from explosion, collapse and underground incidents. Such insurance program and/or program of self-retention or general assets shall comply with the Insurance Requirements recommended by the Town Attorney and approved by the Town Manager on file with the Town Clerk and as updated by the Town Manager during the term of this Franchise. 4.3 Grantee shall file with Town documentation of such liability insurance, self-retention or general asset program within sixty (60) days following the effective date of this Franchise and thereafter upon request of Town.Section 5 – Restoration of Rights-of-Way 5.1 If, in the installation, use or maintenance of its natural gas transmission and distribution system, Grantee damages or disturbs the surface or subsurface of any public road or adjoining public property or the public improvement located thereon, therein, or thereunder, the Grantee shall promptly, at its own expense (subject to Section 7.2 of this Franchise Agreement), and in a manner acceptable to Town, restore the surface or subsurface of the public road or public property, or repair or replace the public improvement thereon, therein, or thereunder, in as good a condition as before such damage or disturbance, or as may be required by construction standards established by ordinance of the Town. 5.2 Should such restoration, repair or replacement not be completed within a reasonable time or fails to meet Town’s duly adopted standards, as may be amended from time to time, the Town may, after prior notice to Grantee, perform the necessary restoration, repair or replacement either through its own forces or through a hired contractor, and Grantee agrees to reimburse the Town for its costs and expenses in so doing within thirty (30) days after its receipt of the Town’s invoice. As used herein, “costs and expenses” includes, but is not limited to, administrative costs and employee wages and benefits costs incurred by the Town in the performance of such restoration, repair or replacement.Section 6 – Franchise Fee 6.1 Grantee shall pay to Town in consideration of the grant of this Franchise a sum equal to two percent (2%) of the gross revenues of Grantee, from the sale and/or delivery by it of

natural and/or artificial gas for all purposes, within the corporate limits of Town, as shown by Grantee’s billing records. Such payments are to be due and payable thirty (30) days after the end of the calendar quarter, and will be considered late if not received within thirty (30) days of the due date. A five percent (5%) penalty shall be added to payments not made within the required time, and interest of one and one-half percent (11/2%) shall accrue on the entire amount due. Interest and penalties can be waived by the Town for reasonable cause or if casualty renders Grantee unable to compute or estimate the liability from business records. For the purpose of verifying amounts payable hereunder and upon reasonable notice, the books and records of Grantee shall be subject to inspection or audit by duly authorized officers or representatives of the Town at reasonable times. 6.2 Grantee shall pay Franchise Fees pursuant to the terms of the previously executed Franchise Agreement between Grantee and Town through June 30, 2011. Beginning July 1, 2011 payment as described in the preceding paragraphs shall be payable in quarterly amounts within thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar quarter. 6.3 If at any time during the term of this Franchise Grantee is paying any municipality in the State of Arizona a Franchise Fee greater than two percent (2%) of Grantee’s gross receipts in such municipality, then the percentage set forth in Section 6 shall be increased to match the greater percentage amount Grantee is paying to such other municipality under a franchise agreement. If Town requests Grantee to match such greater Franchise Fee, Town agrees to incorporate the terms, conditions and limitations applicable to the payment of the greater Franchise Fee to such municipality, into this Franchise Agreement. Should the Grantee or the Town determine that Grantee over collected or under collected the required amount of Franchise Fees from its customers, Grantee shall immediately adjust its Franchise Fee collections to ensure that no more or no less is collected from its customers as is required to be remitted to the Town.6.4 In addition to the foregoing Franchise Fees, Grantee shall pay charges, taxes, and fees as described in Section 7 of this Agreement.Section 7 — Additional Fees and Taxes 7.1 Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, Grantee shall, in addition to the payment provided in Section 6, pay the following charges, taxes and fees as established in a code or ordinance properly adopted by the Town:A.

Such expenses shall be considered for reimbursements by the Town from the Capital Expenditure Fund. Town shall charge any allowable expenses against the Capital Expenditure Fund and provide Grantee with quarterly reports on the amounts of such deductions.7.2 In addition to and separate from the Franchise Fee set forth above, the Town and the Grantee agree that beginning July 1, 2011 the Town shall allow additional compensation to be paid by Grantee to the Town in quarterly payments in the amount equal to two percent (2%) of the gross revenues of Grantee as defined in Section 6 of this Agreement. The Town shall place all funds collected from Grantee due to such additional compensation in a special fund labeled “Southwest Gas Capital Expenditures Fund.”The Grantee assures the Town that all taxes and other fees or charges shall remain combined and bundled as “taxes and other fees” or “taxes and other charges” on Grantee’s invoices/statements, unless mandated otherwise by law or by the Arizona Corporation Commission and its successors.Costs incurred by Grantee that are reimbursed by the Southwest Gas Capital Expenditures Fund may not be included by the Grantee in its rate base nor shall Grantee seek a return on investment for any such reimbursed capital expenditures.For purposes of this Franchise Agreement, capital expenditures, subject to reimbursement by Town, consist of any cost or expenditure related to the development of capital plant which is required by this Franchise Agreement or any ordinance adopted by Town related to this Franchise Agreement for Town-driven and/

raising his hands Drew reached for his gun and fired while the robber fired also and Drew fell to the floor dead . . . Jack Monroe is also a former Cochise resident. In 1904 he was sentenced in the district court here to serve six years in prison at Yuma. He was convicted on a charge of assault on a Mexican at Don Luis. The Arizona Republican for Thursday Morning, May 18, 1911 gives this account:CAPTURE OF RAY BANDITJack Monroe, Badly Hurt,Taken into CustodyMAN WHO MURDERED DREWHe Does Not Admit Crime, But Circumstances AreConvincing and He HasWaived Preliminary Examination Jack Monroe, an ex-convict who served in the territorial penitentiary when it was located in Yuma, was arrested yesterday morning in the hills not far from Ray, as the man suspected of having shot and killed E.L. Drew during an effort to hold up the saloon of Dick Remington (or Pennington) in Sonoratown, near Ray, late Monday night. Thought legally he is yet only suspected the circumstantial evidence seems conclusive, notwithstanding his denial of the crime. He was arraigned yesterday and waived preliminary examination, being held to the grand jury. Monroe is suffering from a dangerous wound in the body, a bullet having hit his breast bone, thereby glancing and burying itself in his body, At the time of The Republican’s advices last night it had not been located, though it was stated that Monroe has no temperature and the chances seems good for his recovery, notwithstanding he had suffered the loss of much blood and had no food from Monday night until yesterday. He accounts for his would by saying that he was across the street when the hold-up man slew Drew and that the fugitive shot him as he passed him in his escape. Others who were on the street say there was no shooting outside the saloon. Monroe when arrested wore a little blue cap, inappropriate for one plodding around in the hills, saying that he had lost his hat at the time he was shot. Showing the hat left in the saloon by the murderer, he said it resembled the one he owned. He said he got the cap at the hotel where he and his little daughter were stopping, and where he went after he was shot

and remained for a little while, leaving for the hills to hunt for the cabin of a fried named Jack McGuire, who he hoped would secure medical attention for him. It was this search that led to his arrest. Monroe and his 9-year-old daughter arrived in Ray on Monday, from Winkelman and secured lodging at the hotel. That evening they attended a picture show. Returning he put the little girl to bed and went out, saying he would be back in a little while. The next morning the little girl said her father had come in shortly after midnight (the killing occurred just before midnight), badly hurt, had remained a little while and gone out again, she did not know where. From that moment Jack Monroe was the man sought for by everybody. The town and vicinity were scoured for him on Tuesday: but to no purpose. Yesterday morning a man named Jack Davis met Monroe in the hills not far from Ray, and near a ravine in which there was a little running water. He was evidently sick and wounded and in a bad condition and told Davis he was seeking the house of a friend named Jack McGuire, also giving Davis his name. He asked Davis to direct him to McGuire’s place. Davis did so as well as he could and knowing Monroe was the man sought for he immediately notified the officers, who shortly affected his arrest without difficulty. It was then he related his story of how he secured his wound and lost his hat and other details told above. He denied having had anything to do with the crime, but said he was across the street and saw the attempt to hold up the saloon, and the escaping man who killed Drew. His arraignment, waiving of examination and binding over to grand jury quickly followed. Concerning Monroe and his previous record it is know that he had done time in Yuma and he was next heard of in Bisbee and Pearce. It is said he then came to Phoenix and there is a story in Ray to the effect that he was ordered to leave this city. Marshall Moore said last night that though he had ordered some tough looking characters out of town at one time an another, he did not recall anybody giving that name.In any event, Monroe’s next appearance was in Winkelman, where he worked for a time for a name named Dan Reynolds, going from Winkelman to Ray on Monday. Whether he went that intending to hold up the saloon and took his little girl along for a

Family to honor slain deputy, Part Fiveblind, stopping at the hotel, or wether he went there in good faith and was seized with the holdup impulse after his arrival is yet only conjecture. It is said thought that there are several ex-convicts in the community who probably know him quite well and it is presumed he hoped through them to receive a measure of protection in and emergency. It is stated though, in behalf of Jack McGuire, to whom Monroe referred as a friend, that he was not an ex-convict and is on the contrary a very well respected young man. It is also believed by the officers that Monroe is a drug fiend and that a part of his suffering and sick condition was due to being without his usual ration of artificial stimulation, and that is one reason he sought desperately to find a harbor in some house close to the settlement in hope that he might obtain it.~ Ed was buried next to his mother’s grave in Pearce. Monroe was eventually convicted of the murder of Ed Drew. The Arizona Copper Camp, of 3 September 1915, Ray, Arizona reports: The day Jack Monroe was brought to the state prison form the Florence jail he told Warren Rynning that his life sentence meant nothing to him for he would never serve it. A few minutes later there was taken from his person a number of tools which would have been handy should Monroe attempt to work on escape. Monroe never served out his life sentence, they released him from prison the year that Ed’s grandson, Glenn Edward Drew, was born, 1947. Monroe was an old man and in failing health. Drew Reunion 1998. The Family placed a head stone for Edward Landers Drew next to the grave Georgiana Stuart Drew of in Pearce, Arizona.

By Becky Drew On May 11, 2011, the Drew family of Kearny will honor their ancestor, Edward Landers Drew. EL was a Deputy Sheriff for Pinal County and stationed at Ray. He was killed in a shoot out at the Saloon of Dick Remington (or Pennington) in Sonoratown. I have included parts of the family story (so as to make sense of where the Drews came from and just how they ended up). This is by no means a complete story as it is much longer. Help us honor EL Drew and those other brave law-men of the area, some who gave their lives and others who dedicated their lives to make it a safe place to live.More on the death of EL Drew The Prospector of 18 May 1911 declares: Jack Monroe has been arrested as suspect of a holdup in a saloon at Ray in which Ed Drew of Courtland was shot and killed about three days ago. Monroe was found in the hills near Ray shot and weak from loss of blood from his wounds, and now the officers’ suspicion him as the party to the bold hold-up and claim to have strong evidence against Monroe. The hold-up man entering the saloon through the back way met Ed Drew at the back door and commanded him to hold up his hands but instead of

community as the team travels to play games with neighboring communities. The month of May is this team’s fundraising month as the team looks to purchase uniforms and replace worn out equipment. The first fundraiser for the Blazers is the first “Shot for Charity” golf tournament Saturday, May 14, at the Kearny Golf Course. This tournament will be a two-man scramble formatted toward the recreational golfer. Registration per player is $35. Each team will be playing for a charity/non-profit of their choice.

The Blazers softball players kick off their season by volunteering their time for the Hayden Easter Egg Hunt. (Submitted photo)

Off to a blazing start: Blazers gear up for softball in the heat So if you and a friend, compa, brother, mother or father would like to play golf and help support local organizations,

please contact Daniel Hinojos 520-610-1277. Come on out all you golfers and help

out the team and other worthy charities. Organizers hope to make this an annual event.

By Taylor Sheaffer Ritter The Bearcat Baseball season is officially over. The team met with Bisbee on Tuesday, May 3. The Bisbee boys had 11 hits, but gave up 7 in the first inning “and [we] never could catch them,” notes Coach Herb White. “I am proud of our team. They never gave up against Bisbee and never quit when they fell behind this year,” he continued. The final score leaving Bisbee was 12-5. “It was a great experience for our young team to play in a professional ballpark and on center stage,” noted Coach White. The team finished the year tied in

first place in the region, having had a strong second half of the season by finishing 6-3. Following graduation, the team will dearly miss seniors Dustin Bingham, Jando Romero, and David Luedke. Luckily, “We return 10 players with varsity experience so we should be able to build on this year’s success,” explains Coach White. “Speaking for myself, being around this group of young men was one of the highlights of my life as they treated everyone with respect and kindness. Their parents should be very proud about the way they acted and competed and they are a credit not only to their

Bearcats end the season tied for first in the region

families, but to this community,” he graciously continued. Many individual accomplishments were made over the duration of the season which ought to be noted: Dustin Bingham finished third in the state in batting in the 2A division; he was 97th in the entire country in batting average, which is pretty darned AWESOME! Jacob Wernett finished 33rd in batting average in the state (2A) and also scored 21 runs; Jacob’s on-base average was a lofty .518 which placed him in the top 30 in the state (2A). Altin Hing (sophomore) had a .541 on base average, which was in the top 20 in the state (2A). David Luedke had a fine season as his on base average was .450. The guys had a great season and exude some serious talent. Better luck next season, guys!

FLORENCE – Pinal County Board of Supervisors’ Chairman Pete Rios said on Monday that the county is ready to provide support in fighting the Picket Fire as needed. “The Board of Supervisors is receiving regular updates on the status of the fire near Superior,” Chairman Rios said. “We are ready to offer any help that is needed at this time. I am hoping the winds will calm, allowing the crews from the San Carlos Indian Reservation, Apache Junction Fire and Queen Valley Fire to get the upper hand on the fire.” Rios added that he is grateful for the men and women who exhibit such bravery and commitment in fighting wildland fires. “It takes special training and incredible stamina to fight unpredictable wildland fires even in familiar terrain.” Pinal County’s Emergency Management Director, Lou

Miranda, said the fire is an urgent reminder to avoid campfires, fireworks and open burning. Effective in May, Pinal County initiated a burn ban and suspended the issuance of burn permits due to the increased risk of fire. “Low humidity, high winds and dry vegetation adds up to a significant fire danger,” Miranda stated. “This week, the State Forestry Division is issuing fire restrictions and I would urge everyone to check the Public Lands Information Center website for additional information. Also, I am urging everyone to put cigarettes out in ashtrays, extinguish fires immediately and avoid the use of fireworks. One small fire can get out of hand quickly, affecting our air quality, causing property damage and potentially affecting hundreds of lives. Wildfire risk is substantial, even in our desert environment.” The Public Lands

Information Center link is: http://publiclands.org/explore/?plicstate=AZInfo on Fire The Picket Fire began May 8 at 11:40 a.m. near Boyce Thompson Arboretum. According to the information provided by State Land, approximately 1,200 acres was burned and the cause of the fire, unknown, is under investigation. Eighty-two personnel were on the ground battling the blaze with two Type 2 crews, five engines and one Type 3 helicopter. The cost to battle the blaze was estimated at $150,000. As of Monday at noon, the incident commander, John Johansen, reported that the fire had settled down with less wind. Crews were holding the existing lines and beginning mop-up. Highway 60 was closed until 7 p.m. Sunday from Florence Junction to Miami. The Arboretum remained closed on Monday.
