The Copper Basin Chamber of Commerce would like to thank all those who donated their time, money and materials that made the "Great Pumpkin" event such a success. Most of these fun activities would not be

possible without help from local businesses like Asarco Ray Mine, Norm’s IGA, Dollar General of Kearny, and the Hand Me Up Thrift Shop. Thank you again for your

hand in building up our little town.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

This is a letter to Pete Rios and any other representatives who has a say so on this subject. The subject is our free garbage dump day that happens on the second Saturday of the month. When I went to this last garbage day, I heard a rumor that the district was going to stop the free garbage day. If that is true where are we going to dump our garbage? Out in the desert? Up a wash? Or on somebody’s property? This is what will happen! We just had a voting for more taxes to fix our roads. But who will get the road repairs? Down around Florence or other roads that might need it here in Pinal County? But we need it here in the rural areas also which never get taken care of. Go the speed limit over the railroad track at Hayden Junction. When you go over the track it just about jerks the steering wheel out of your hands and it throws your car off balance, and that isn’t the only place need fixing.

Please don’t quit funding free dump dayTake a ride over our rural roads and see for yourself. Use this extra money for road taxes to help your people get things that they need such as our free dump day.

You close our free dump day and you will be okaying our district turning into a pig sty./s/ Pat Payton

Let’s get festive! Rip’s NAPA Store and the Copper Basin Chamber of Commerce are

sponsoring the annual Fall Festival and

Car Show this Saturday, Nov. 18. It will begin at 9 a.m. on Alden Road in Kearny and last into the late afternoon. The car show itself will fill most of the morning

Festivals, Thanksgiving and Election Resultshours until the awards ceremonies at noon. So come early, especially if you are a car lover, because some of the show cars will have come from a goodly distance and it takes a while to get home. There will be many other events and activities thorough the day, making it a good event for both adults and children. Be sure to check out the many vendors. Rip and Katie Vache, ever since they took over the NAPA store, have been positive contributors to the Copper Basin, not merely with the car show which is largely their baby, but by building up NAPA’s role as a well-stocked and well-staffed place of business. I heard from Monica Badillo that the benefit golf tournament for Jena Martinez Inzunza was a smashing success. There were 103 golfers in the tournament itself. Monica reports that the funds raised are being counted now, but she knows it was a financial success because of two things: the number of people who took part, and the fact that donations of goods and services left no expenses to be covered. Way to go! I’m glad the weather made a positive donation as well.

This week Arizona forestry officials will be meeting with the Winkelman Natural Resources Conservation District during the WNRCD’s quarterly meeting in Oracle. Bill Dunn reports that the environmental surveys for the tamarisk project are proceeding. I hope to have more details on the particulars of the project next week. Continued on page 14

By John HernandezCopper Area News

November is Native American Heritage Month. It is a time to celebrate the rich and diverse cultures, traditions, histories and important contributions of Native people. Having just celebrated Veteran’s Day, some native people history about the service to their country by their veterans is appropriate. Native Americans have served with distinction in every war beginning with the Revolutionary War to our current wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. The warrior spirit and their courage that once made them formidable enemies during the Indian Wars has been displayed throughout our country’s history. Native Americans have the highest percentage of any ethnic group in the United States

Honoring Native American Veteransserving in the military. Considering the U.S. government’s treatment of Native Americans throughout its history, broken treaties, banishment to reservations, and genocide, it is hard for one to understand their willingness to fight for a nation that has treated them so dishonorably. Some say it is the Native culture and their prized qualities of strength, honor, pride, wisdom and devotion to the survival of their people, culture, and homeland. They consider themselves part of their tribe and part of America. During the Revolutionary War native tribes fought on the side of the British as well as the colonists. Tribes also fought for the British as well as the Americans in the War of 1812. They also fought for both sides in the Civil War. In the Plains Indian Wars members of certain tribes fought on the American side against their traditional tribal enemies. During the Apache Wars, many joined the U.S. Army as scouts and fought against their fellow Apaches. Twelve Native Americans were awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor during this time. Teddy Roosevelt recruited Native Americans for his Rough Riders during the Spanish American War. During World War I, although Native People were not yet American citizens, many joined the fight in Europe. A number of them received medals for bravery. Near the end of the war, eight Choctaw warriors took over the field communications in an area surrounded by Germans. They used their native language to send tactical messages to

other units which helped defeat the Germans. It was code talking before the famous Navajo Code Talkers of World War II. Fourteen Native American women served in the Army Nurse Corps. Native Americans would become American citizens in 1924. In World War II, Native Americans were eligible for the draft but enlisted in record numbers. Over 40,000 fought in the Pacific and European theaters. Four hundred Code Talkers were deployed with the Marines in the Pacific and these Navajo Code Talkers played an important part in the War. In the European Theater, 17 Comanche Code Talkers

saw brutal action as part of the Army Signal Corps. Five Native American soldiers were awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor. Following the end of World War II, many Native American Veterans benefitted from the G.I. Bill and furthered their education. A number of them began fighting for their full civil rights and a better life for Native People. In 1947 they successfully led a fight for the right to vote in Arizona and New Mexico. Native Americans fought in Korea, Vietnam, the Gulf War, Iraq and Afghanistan. Fifty thousand Native Americans served in the Vietnam War. Ninety percent of them enlisted. Many disillusioned Native soldiers returned from Vietnam and joined militant civil rights groups such as the American Indian Movement. Some joined with their elders to protect and revitalize their Native culture and land. They continue to fight for their civil rights and their people. In the 1990s, it was estimated that there were 160,000 Native American Veterans. This comprised 10 percent of the Native American population, three times the proportion of non-native people that have served in the military. The Native American has played an important part in the history of the United States military. Let us honor their service and all Veterans.

NATIVE AMERICAN VETERANSContinued from page 5

GEORGIE DIGS!By Georgie Wood

Special to Copper Area News

Interesting BooksMy bookshelves contain so many books that I

had collected for a long time, and most are about western history. I also have a few books

that had been autographed and given to my husband and myself by Edward Abbey who has been described as an American author and essayist noted for his advocacy of environmental issues, criticism of public land policies, and anarchist political views. I also have a very interesting letter he had written to us, and a couple of his hand-written notes of a speech he had given. I wouldn’t be surprised if some Edward Abbey fans would like to get hold of these. How we had become acquainted with Edward Abbey is mentioned in my book “A CREEKSIDE STORY - FROM BUCKBOARD DAYS TO ECOTOURISM”. I had also mentioned in my book the author Elizabeth Lambert Wood (no relation) who had once had the Crooked G Ranch at Oracle, Arizona, and I have several of her books. Of course, I like books about Aravaipa Creek in Arizona where I had lived for many years. Emil Kielberg had been an early settler along Aravaipa Creek, and in the December 2013 issue of the monthly “Nugget”, reporter John Hernandez had written an interesting story about Kielberg Canyon in the Galiuro Mountains, and in it he had mentioned the soon-to-be available book “JOURNEY TO ARAVAIPA CANYON” by P.J. Kielberg-McClenahan, a great-granddaughter to Emil Kielberg. I have that book, plus a few books about the tragic Camp Grant Massacre at Aravaipa Creek. Those are “VAST DOMAIN of BLOOD”

by Don Schellie, with a forward by Barry Goldwater, and “SHADOWS AT DAWN” by Karl Jacoby, a Professor of history. These books really stir one’s imagination, as do the following books about the Power brothers, John and Tom, who had been sent to prison in 1918 for forty-two years. Those books are “SHOOT OUT AT DAWN - An Arizona Tragedy” by Tom Power with John Whitlatch, and “ POWER, PASSION, AND PREJUDICE - Shootout in the Galiuro Mountains” by Barbara Brooks Wolfe.

CAC, Kearny Elks hold programs honoring Veterans The Students and Staff at the Central Arizona College Aravaipa Campus hosted a special Veterans recognition event at the campus last week. Veterans from throughout the Copper

Corridor were treated to a meal. Several local Veterans gave speeches on Veterans Day. Students had the opportunity to meet local veterans and hear their stories.

Local businesses and individuals supporting the event included: Rancheros Carneceria, Mi Pueblito Restaurant, ASARCO, Juan Barcelo and Mike Montiel.

On Saturday, the Kearny Elks hosted its annual dinner honoring local Veterans. Only two were in attendance, but they still received all the honor they deserved for their service to our country.

For working families, finding a quality child care center or preschool for their infant, toddler or preschooler is an important decision. In Arizona, 60 percent of children live in families where all of the adults work. So, most children spend all or part of their day learning from other adults. Research shows 90 percent of a child’s brain develops before age 5. The positive, nurturing relationships young kids have with adults, from parents to child care and early learning professionals, shape their learning now and throughout their lives. Quality child care and preschool settings help children develop skills like motivation, self-control, focus and self-esteem that are crucial to their success now and once they enter school. So how can families know what a quality early learning setting looks like? First Things First (FTF) offers resources to help families as they search for quality child care. Quality First, a FTF signature program, partners with child care providers and preschools in Arizona to improve the quality of early learning for children birth to age 5. Through QualityFirstAZ.com, Quality First also provides families with information about the importance of quality in child care and early education; what quality looks like in order to promote learning; and tools to help families find quality child care or preschool programs in their area. “The quality of a child care center is critical to kindergarten readiness,” said Jackie Eiche, Director of Little Dipper Enrichment Center in Coolidge, a four-star Quality First child care center. “It focuses on the partnership between home and school and working as a team to empower everyone involved because a child who is empowered through this collaborative effort is

likely to soar.” FTF offers families the following tips on what look for when searching for quality child care and preschool settings: First, visit the program in person and take the Quality Child Care checklist with you to help. The checklist includes questions such as asking what the teachers’ qualifications are and what is the ratio of teachers to students? There are also things to observe at the visit, such as how to spot positive, nurturing teacher/child interactions, such as does the teacher make eye contact with the children, smile and listen without interrupting? Look for places that that build on basic health and safety to include:• Teachers and caregivers who know how to work with infants, toddlers and preschoolers.• Positive, nurturing relationships that give young kids

the individual attention they need.• Learning environments that encourage creativity and imaginative play.• Hands-on activities that stimulate and encourage positive brain connections in children.• Caregivers who provide regular feedback to parents on the development of their child. In addition, families can check if there are centers, homes or preschools participating in Quality First in their area by using this online search tool. First Things First created Quality First to improve, assess and communicate the level of quality in child care and preschool programs. Since it began, the Quality First program has significantly improved the quality of early learning options available to Arizona’s families. In fact, since 2013, the percentage of participating programs statewide that meet or exceed quality standards has increased from 25 percent to 71 percent. In the FTF Pinal region, the same figures increased from 19

percent to 39 percent. In addition, Quality First recently underwent a two-year independent study which found that participating child care and preschool providers improved the quality of their programs between each assessment. It also determined that Quality First’s 5-star rating scale does reflect five distinct and increasing levels of quality. No matter their current rating level, families can be assured that child care providers participating in Quality First are committed to improving the quality of child care.

About First Things First – First Things First is a voter-created, statewide organization that funds early education and health programs to help kids be successful once they enter kindergarten. Decisions about how those funds are spent are made by local councils staffed by community volunteers. To learn more, visit FirstThingsFirst.org.

Our national Day of Thanksgiving is Thursday, Nov. 23. I’ll be an old curmudgeon and admit that I hate its new name of “Turkey Day” and also its reliance on beer and football. Now that I have that out of the way, I have had a difficult time finding things for which to be thankful. Family, yes. Friends, yes. My faith in God, yes. But it hurts me that so many people in this area are hurting, in so many ways. The Giant stores in San Manuel and Dudleyville are now both closed. Good jobs are hard to find and even harder to get. The recession which began at the end of the Bush administration is still a fact to deal with in rural Arizona (and not just in copper towns). I do give thanks that the people of Pinal County

approved the plan of, and funding for, the Pinal Regional Transportation Authority. This will especially benefit the towns of Superior, Kearny, and Winkelman, even as the urban areas will receive much-needed highways. I give thanks that the people of the Ray School District passed the bond issue by a 2 to 1 margin, a margin much higher than in the other school districts of Pinal County. Now our towns and the Ray Schools will have access to some much needed funds. The people of this area responded to these real needs with their own tax money. When the need is clear, the response is strong.
