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.

St. Bartholomew’s fi esta horseshoe tournament will take a different format this Saturday, at the Don Potter horseshoe arena, behind the church at Park and Main in San Manuel. A “blind draw” method of selecting teams will ensure some upsets and surprises according to tournament organizer Roberto Estrada. In a blind draw, individual names are put in a hat

The trophies were donated by local justice of the peace Arnold Estrada and fi ve Superior Court judges, including presiding judge Carter Olson as well as Gilbert Figueroa, Kevin White, Steve McCarville and Rudy Georgini.

Klondyke on May 5, 1913. Her parents, Bette and Walter McClintock, had a homestead in the mountains, where she attended a one-room school. She married Harvey in 1930 and went from rancher’s daughter to miner’s wife. After moving around quite a bit, they settled in San Manuel, moving in the day after Christmas, in 1953.

Editor, San Manuel Miner: For those Oracle residents with a couple of hours to spare this week, we invite you all to attend the Thurs-day, May 12, Town Hall Meeting at 6 p.m. at the Oracle Community Center (OCC) to get involved in a little positive urban planning for our town. The goal of the meeting is to start a four-week search to locate al-ternate sites for a tower that will im-prove Verizon Wireless cell phone coverage in Oracle - nothing more, nothing less... The purpose of this May 12 public meeting is NOT to select a site that evening for the proposed Verizon Wireless cell tower; rather it is an ef-fort to invite landowners in Oracle to learn if their property is in the roughly rectangular area located inside the town core, and is a site that would be suitable engineering-wise for con-sideration by Verizon Wireless to lease for a tower installation. Over the next 4-5 weeks, we hope to solicit contacts from landowners who are comfortable having their prop-erty considered for such use. Pinnacle Consulting, Inc., the agent for Verizon Wireless in this cell tower installation effort in Oracle, will consider up to ten separate parcels for subsequent review by Verizon engineers. The top three alternate sites that the review con-cludes are the most viable, will then be presented to Oracle residents at the subsequent - and fi nal - town meet-ing in the OCC in late June or early July, on a yet-undecided date. A little perspective might be help-ful for everyone. The current busi-ness plan of Verizon Wireless includes improving their existing cell phone coverage in Oracle. To do this, the radio frequency (RF) wave engineer-ing dictated a single cell phone tower in the central core of our town. In De-

Correction Last week’s Miner listed the address of the carport fi re as 230 Avenue C, San Manuel. This was incorrect. The correct address is 226 Avenue C. The Miner regrets the error.

Letter to the Editor: Public input needed for cell tower

cember, 2009, a low-key public meet-ing at the Oracle Inn revealed that a site had been selected atop the hilltop plateau just north of the Oracle Mar-ket. Many residents welcomed the service improvement, but thought the site selected was the product of a a poor decision. Last fall Pinnacle Consulting, Inc. submitted a special use permit re-quest to Pinal County for permission to erect this tower. On January 20, 2011, the Pinal County Planning and Zoning Commission voted 5 to 2 to recommend the Pinal County Board of Supervisors ( BOS) deny this permit application. Remember: the P and Z Commission is an advisory body only; not a decision-making one. On Febru-ary 8, 2011, Pinnacle Consulting, Inc. requested their permit application be withdrawn from consideration, prior to any fi nal vote by the BOS. Today, two alternatives present them-selves. First, if Oracle residents and

landowners participate cooperatively in this alternate tower site search, chances are good that an alternate site can be found. If this occurs, and the subsequent permit application survives through the Pinal County permitting process, and is approved, the original, and controversial - pro-posed tower north of the Oracle Mar-ket goes away. Second, if no viable alternate site is found, then Pinnacle Consulting, Inc. is free to re-submit their original spe-cial use permit for the Oracle Market site. Then it will be up to Oracle resi-dents to fi ght this issue once again if they so choose, through recommend-ing denial via the public participation process through the Planning and Development Department, before the P and Z Commission, and then the Board of Supervisors. Any ques-tions, please call 896-2832. Thanks, /s/ Ross Hopkins

Sixty miles in one direction can take you many places, but, Judith Sharff, San Manuel resident, has joined thousands of breast cancer supporters in preparing for the 2011 Susan G. Kormen Phoenix 3-Day for the Cure, because 60 miles can take her closer to finding a cure. After months of training and fundraising, participants will walk 60 miles, during three days, to raise awareness, and, funds, for breast cancer research, and, community-based health and education programs. “This is my first year participating in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure.” said Sharff. “Through my participation in this event, I know I am making a personal impact on the breast cancer movement. The Komen 3-Day for the Cure is challenging, but, the opportunity to have an impact is enormous.” Sharff continued “As a colon cancer survivor, I am aware that I have a higher risk of breast cancer. Because of a genetic disorder that I have appeared to have passed on to my daughter, and, possibly, my granddaughters, I fear that they may, also, have a greater risk of breast cancer. I have two sister-in-laws, and, several good friends, who are breast cancer survivors. My reasons for walking in the 3-Day, 60 mile Race For the Cure is to show support for all who are breast cancer survivors, and, to raise money for the cure so that my daughter, and, my granddaughters won’t have to walk in a similar event.” Each walker is supported by coaches, and, online

assistance, aiding in all aspects of training,and, fundraising. Additionally, clinics, meetings, training walks, teams and buddy walkers provide ongoing encouragement. The Susan G. Komen Phoenix 3-Day for the Cure starts on Friday morning, Nov. 11,and, ends with the Closing Ceremony on Sunday afternoon, Nov. 13. Walkers cover about 20 miles a day, traveling at their own pace. Hundreds of volunteer crew members support the walkers through the three-day journey, providing meals, refreshments and snack stops, gear transport, hot showers, portable restrooms, safety on the streets and 24-hour medical services. The 3-Day for the Cure is the greatest distance you can go in the fight against breast cancer. Participants raise a minimum of $2,300, while education tens of thousands of people about breast health, with every step. Funds raised may impact breast cancer research, and, community-based health and education programs. The national series sponsors for the 3-Day for the Cure are Bank of America, and, New Balance. Nancy G. Brinker had made a promise to her dying sister, Susan G. Komen, that she would do everything in her power to end breast cancer forever. In 1982, that promise blossomed into Susan G. Komen for the Cure, and, launched the global breast cancer movement. Today, Komen for the Cure is the world’s

San Manuel woman takes steps to ensure a world without breast cancer; local resident commits to walk 60 miles in three days for the cause

largest grassroots network of breast cancer survivors, and, activists, fighting to save lives, empower people, ensure quality care for all, and, energize science to find the cures. Thanks to events like the Race for the Cure and the 3-Day for the Cure, we have invested more than $1.9 billion to fulfill our promise,

becoming the largest source nonprofit funds dedicated to the fight against breast cancer, in the world. For more information about Susan G. Kormen for the Cure, breast health, or, breast cancer, visit www.komen.org, or, call 1-877 GO KOMEN. More than 1.4 million women will be diagnosed with breast

In January, the Republican Women of Pinal County began collecting coupons for the use of our armed forces in Germany. Since then over $4,000 worth of coupons have been clipped, sorted and sent to the Army Base in Grafenwoehr, Germany. Now, with the cooperation of Andrew Gregory, a retired US Army officer, and Manager of Sunbird Realty in the SaddleBrooke shopping center, anyone who would like to participate can easily leave coupons in a decorated box in the Sunbird office. The office is open every week day from 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. Food and non-food coupons are needed. Each Sunday there about $125 worth of coupons in the paper. It is a shame to waste them. Instead, cut them out and leave them at the Sunbird office where they will be collected about every two weeks and sent on. Coupons are accepted at the commissary for up to six months past their printed expiration dates. The Overseas coupon Project was founded in December 1992 and helps military families stretch their grocery dollars while shopping in the commissary. In 2010 over $4,500,000 worth of coupons were sent to various bases around the world. For more information contact Barbara Treick 825-4677 or btreick@wbhsi.net.

By Frank Smith The San Manuel Miners varsity baseball team qualifi ed for the 2A State Playoffs which began on May 3. San Manuel entered the tournament as the #18 seed and faced Morenci the #15 seed at Tempe Diablo Stadium in Tempe. The Miners were eliminated from the playoffs in the fi rst round of the tournament losing to the Wildcats 0-9. San Manuel could not make ground on Morenci once they built a 1 – 0 lead in the fi rst inning. The Miners threatened to score in the top of the fi rst inning with a runner on third base but the runner was left stranded. Morenci added two more runs in the bottom of the

third inning to up the lead to 3 – 0. The Miners again had runners in scoring position in the top half of the third but failed to bring them home. The Wildcats exploded for a big inning in the bottom of the fi fth pushing fi ve runs across the plate to extend the lead to 8 – 0. Morenci scored one more run in the sixth inning to bring the score and the fi nal to 9 – 0. The Miners could not answer the call taking the loss and the early exit from the playoffs; San Manuel fi nished the season with an 11 – 10 overall record and a spot in the state tournament. The Miners scored no runs on

four hits and committed one error; the Wildcats scored nine runs on 11 hits and committed one error. On the mound for the Miners were Elfi e Vigil and Demetrious Dietz with Trent Brown catching. Vigil (6-5) took the loss allowing eight hits – three for doubles, eight runs – eight earned, struck out two and walked four batters. Offensively, Alexander Smith went 1 for 3, Elfi e Vigil went 1 for 3, Daniel Padilla went 1 for 3, and Anthony Garcia went 1 for 3. Head Coach Donnie Payne said, “Hats off to the Morenci team! They hit the ball hard and often. We gave it all we had!”

Batter up ...

By Frank Smith The San Manuel varsity softball team took part in the 2A state playoff on May 6 and 7 at Rose Mofford Softball Complex in Phoenix, dropping the #20 seed Miami 10-0 on Friday and losing to the #4 seed Willcox 4 - 6 on Saturday. The Lady Miners had no trouble with the Lady Vandals from Miami sending them home early with a 10 – 0 loss in four innings as San Manuel had faced them earlier with nearly the same results ending with a Lady Miners’ victory. In the circle was Brittney LeGrand with Jessica Castro catching. LeGrand threw to 15 batters striking out nine, and allowing no walks. She almost had a perfect game had it not been for an error. The Lady Miners went to bat 30 times collecting 10 runs on seven hits, no walks, and striking out six times. Offensively, Jessica Castro went 2 for 4 with singles, and two RBIs; Noelle Medina went 1 for 1 with a homerun, two RBIs, and two walks; Arianna Castaneda went 1 for 3 with a single; and Brittney Smith went 2 for 3 with two singles, a stolen base, and one RBI. The win would send the Lady Miners into the second round and set up a re-match from the beginning of the season when San Manuel faced Willcox in the Wickenburg tournament losing by a couple runs. This time Willcox was the #4 seed in the state tournament taking down the Lady Miners 6 – 4 and eliminating San Manuel from the tournament. In the fi rst inning, San Manuel gave up three runs on errors giving Willcox the edge 3 – 0 to start off the game, and then LeGrand settled in striking three batters in a row to retire the side. The Lady Miners came up to bat in the top of the second inning, the fi rst two batters got out, leaving the seven, eight, and nine hitters to contend with two outs. Merina Sandoval struck out but advanced to fi rst base on the past ball; designated hitter Justeen Valdez hit a double to centerfi eld advancing Sandoval to third base; Brittney Smith dropped a bunt beating out the throw at fi rst and picking up the RBI for a 1 – 3 Willcox lead. The next batter fl ied out to left fi eld to end the inning. LeGrand caught fi re in the bottom of the second inning, striking out another three batters in a row for her sixth straight strikeout to end the inning. The Cowgirls pushed across another run in the bottom of the fourth inning to extend the lead to 4 – 1 and scored two more runs in the bottom of the fi fth to up the lead to 6 – 1. The Lady Miners scored one run in the top of the sixth with Noelle Medina starting off the inning with a triple down the left fi eld line, Jessica Castro then came up to bat hitting a double driving in Medina for the RBI to cut into the lead at 2 – 6. Willcox was held scoreless in the bottom half of the sixth inning. San Manuel would have its last bats in the top of the seventh inning putting forth a great effort to rally for two runs. Valdez came to bat hitting a triple. Smith came up to bat once again dropping the bunt and beating out the throw bringing in Valdez for the RBI. LeGrand came up to bat and Smith stole second base setting

Lady Miners drop Miami, lose to Willcox in 2A state playoffsup in scoring position. LeGrand grounded out to the third basemen advancing Smith to third. Emmy Lou Clark stepped up to the plate hitting a double driving in Smith for the RBI to bring the score to 4 – 6. Willcox held the lead. Medina was walked, and Castro hit a line drive to the short stop-doubling up Medina for the third out and the game. Head Coach Deanne Brewer said, “It was a tough game for us. We literally beat ourselves. Again, errors haunted us making it diffi cult to close the gap. The Cowgirls went to the plate 26 times, earning only two hits, while LeGrand retired 11 batters with strikeouts. We committed nine errors - fi ve of the runs that they scored got on by errors. The other run that scored was also by error - she actually got on with a double.” The Lady Miners went to the plate 30 times scoring four runs on seven hits, and one walk. The ladies struck out fi ve times and three of the four runs were earned. Offensively, EmmyLou Clark went 1 for 4 with a single and one RBI; Noelle Medina went 1 for 3 with a triple and a walk; Jessica Castro went 2 for 4 with singles and one RBI; Justeen Valdez went 2 for 3 with singles; and Brittney Smith went 2 for 3 with two singles, a stolen base, and two RBIs. Coach Brewer said, “We had a good season. I think we struggled more defensively than we have over the past several years. We beat ourselves more this year than we allowed other teams to

beat us. It seems like we couldn’t fi nd a balance with our hitting/defense. When we hit well, we didn’t commit a lot of errors, when we had a lot of errors, our hitting seemed to be a problem. We were in our own heads too

much! “But overall, we did a good job. We ended our season #2 in our conference behind Pusch Ridge. I really had a great group of kids and will absolutely miss the seniors... all nine of them.

Needless to say, we have a lot of work ahead of us next year!!!

I’m looking forward to the challenge.”

By Suzan Austin THANKS TO ALL those who gave us their opinions and comments earlier this year on our library survey. We wanted to know how well we were meeting your needs and what we might do to improve our service to you. Interestingly, of the one hundred-plus forms returned, a majority asked for “reading recommendations.” So, our volunteers are sharing their favorite titles -- some new, some old, and all available for perusal and check-out. PAULY recommends the latest page-turner by Lis Weihl, Heart of Ice: a Triple Threat Novel. Whether you’ve read her previous books or not, you won’t be able to put this one down. LAURA recommends Prayers for Sale by Sandra Dallas (current Library Book Club selection), a story of the friendship between two women in a Depression-era Colorado mining town. VERNA recommends J. A. Jance’s Fatal Error, the newest Ali Reyn-olds novel set in Sedona. MARION AND BILL recommend NY Times columnist David Brooks’ The Social Animal, a fascinating look at how human beings and com-munities succeed. For science fiction aficionados, MARK recommends A Mighty For-tress, which is the fourth in David Weber’s The Safehold Series. KATHLEEN recommends FDR’s Deadly Secret by Steven Lomazow M.D. and Eric Fettman. They challenge the accepted cause of FDR’s death and present a thought-provoking case about a disease then dis-cussed only in whispers. SUZAN recommends Bliss Remembered by Frank DeFord. Set around the 1936 Olympics and swimming hopeful Sidney Stringfellow’s poi-gnant love affair, the book slowly reveals her secrets in a series of con-versations with her son. All the volunteers recommend Michael Connelly’s latest Mickey Haller (The Lincoln Lawyer) novel entitled The Fifth Witness. YOUR OWN RECOMMENDATIONS to other library patrons are welcome, too. Post the title and author on the board attached to the back door (next to the new-books shelves.) BOOK SALE BONANZA. Our spring book sale last month was a record-breaker! We sold more books than ever. Which means our book-sale cupboards are nearly bare. Which means we need donations of many books in advance of our fall book sale. Clean those shelves, bring ‘em in.

Public NoticeCHRISTIAN FAMILY CARE AGENCY

NOTICE OF POTENTIAL BIRTH FATHERANGELA TERRESA GONZALES is the mother of NEVAEH VALENTINA LUCIANO, born on February 20, 2011 in Mesa, AZ. Her address is 450 W. University Dr., #3, Mesa, AZ 85201. PURSUANT to Arizona Revised Statutes §8-106(G), you are hereby notified that: 1. ANGELA TERRESA GONZALES has named you Thomas Bellos, Jr. as the potential biological father of this child. This Notice is also for JOHN DOE or any other person claiming to be the father. She has currently made plans to place this child for adoption through Christian Family Care Agency, 3603 North 7th Avenue, Phoenix, Arizona 85013. The telephone number is (602) 234-1935. 2. Under Arizona law, Arizona Revise Statutes §8-106 and 8-107, you have the right, as a potential biological birth father of this child, to consent to the proposed adoption. You also have the right to withhold your consent to the proposed adoption. 3. If you give your consent to the adoption, your consent is irrevocable once you give it. 4. If you are not in agreement with the adoption plan, and want to withhold your consent to the adoption, you have thirty days (30) from the date that this notice is served upon you to complete both of the following: a. You must initiate paternity proceedings under Arizona Revised Statutes, Title 25, Chapter 6, Article 1. b. You must have the mother served with the paternity paperwork in compliance with Arizona Revised Statutes, Rules of Civil Procedure, Rule 4.1. 5. If you initiate paternity proceedings, you are obligated to proceed to judgment. 6. Should you establish paternity, you would have a right to seek custody of the child. 7. It is your responsibility to provide financial support for the child if paternity is established. If paternity is not established until after the child is born, you may be responsible for past support. (A.R.S. §25-809(A)). 8. Failure to file a paternity action within thirty days of completion of the service of this Notice pursuant to Title 25, Chapter 6, Article 1 of the Arizona Revised Statutes and to serve the mother with paternity paperwork within 30 days of completion of service of this notice upon you and to pursue the action to judgment bars you from bringing or maintaining any action to assert any interest in the child. 9. Your failure to file a paternity action within thirty days also constitutes a legal ground for the termination of any parent-child relationship that may exist between you and the child. A.R.S. §8-533(B)(5). 10. You may wish to consult with an attorney to assist you in initiating a paternity action, or determining what course of action you wish to take in response to this Notice. 11. The Indian Child Welfare Act may supersede the Arizona Revised Statutes regarding an adoption and paternity. THIS IS A LEGAL NOTICE. IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE MEANING OF THIS NOTICE YOU SHOULD IMMEDIATELY CONTACT AN ATTORNEY. YOUR RIGHT TO PARENT YOUR CHILD WILL BE LOST IF YOU DO NOT ACT TO EXTABLISH YOUR PATERNITY WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS.

The Rammed Earth home of Quentin Branch and Julie Szekely was the site of a classical music recital by a child prodigy. The proud grandparents hosted the afternoon program where their talented grandson, Cameron Williams, performed the music of Bach, Haydn, Mozart, Chopin, Liszt and Edvard Grieg. Cameron is a very talented pianist. The Tucson Symphony Orchestra has performed one of his compositions. He recently placed second in the 2011 Fountain Hills Cultural Association’s statewide competition even though he was the youngest competitor. Donations for the recital and the sales of CDs of Cameron performing went towards defraying costs for Cameron to attend the Interlochen Center for the Arts Summer Music Camp. After the summer he will be attending the International Institute of Music at the University of Kansas. Cameron is passionate about his music and it showed in his performance. The audience enjoyed a relaxing afternoon of beautiful music. Go online to www.copperarea.com to see a sampling of Cameron’s music. (John Hernandez photo)

FLORENCE – Pinal County’s Environmental Health department is warning restaurant and bar owners that potential scam artists are making threatening phone calls to area bars and restaurants claiming to be health inspectors. The ‘imposter inspectors’ who are making these phone calls are sometimes demanding money or threatening to shut down the business. “We do not announce our inspections in advance, all of our inspectors carry identification and in no case would we threaten to shut down a restaurant over the phone,” Reg Glos, Director of Pinal County Environmental Health. “This appears to be a scam and, according to my colleagues in other jurisdictions, it is not unique to Pinal County. So far, we have received enough calls about this to merit an advisory to food service establishments in Pinal County.” Restaurant inspections are routine and unannounced, Glos said. The only time a restaurant would know of an inspection in advance is if corrective action is required and a re-inspection is set. “Sometimes we find things that need to be corrected immediately, such as food stored at an improper temperature. Other times, restaurants are given time to correct the violations and a re-inspection is scheduled,” Glos explained. Here are some points to keep in mind about Pinal County Environmental Health inspectors:* They carry County identification and business cards,* They do not charge money or collect fees during a random inspection,* Inspectors do not accept tips, gifts or other compensation. “This scam preys on the fears of bar and restaurant owners who worry about their livelihood, so this is particularly disturbing to hear about,” Glos said. If someone receives one of these calls, Pinal County Environmental Health recommends that the recipient take down as much

County warns restaurant/bar owners to beware of ‘imposter inspectors’

information from the caller as possible, including name, call back number and caller ID, if available. The information should then be relayed to city or county law enforcement officials. Environmental Health’s food program can be reached at 520-866-6807.

County health inspectors monitor food service establishments to ensure that the food and beverages are safe for consumers to eat or drink. They enforce established standards for health and safety. They conduct inspections at restaurants, bars, grocery stores, school cafeterias, day care kitchens, mobile food vendors and at special events where food is served. Pinal County Environmental Health ensures public health and safety at public and semi-public pools and hotels and motels through regular, proactive inspections. In addition, Environmental Health is in charge of permitting for septic tanks and surveillance for the West Nile Virus, a mosquito-borne disease.

Lloyd and Betty Thomas were the guests of honor at the Community Presbyterian Church on April 23, 2011 in celebration of their 60th wedding anniversary. Lloyd and Betty were married on March 31, 1951 in Cambridge, Massachusetts. After spending time living in Hanover, New Mexico and Superior, Arizona, they found their way to San Manuel in May 1955, where they lived

Richard and Esther Velasquez will be celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary on Saturday, May 14. They met in 1953, in Nogales, when they were both 15 years old. He was in high school, and, she was attending classes to learn English. Everyday, when she would walk to class, he would be waiting to see if she would talk to him. After many months, Esther finally did and they became friends. Richard enlisted in the Army in 1958. They continued writing to each other and kept in contact. He served for three years, stationed in Korea then moved to Tucson. He began working at Magma Copper Company in May 1960. A year later, on May 14, 1961, Richard and Esther were married at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Nogales. They lived in Tucson for one year, before moving to San Manuel, where they have resided ever since. Richard retired from BHP Copper Company in May 1997, after 37 years. During this time, Esther stayed home to help raise the family. Her children always knew that when they came home, she would be there for them. She was and always will be the heart of their home. They were blessed with five children: Richard (Sofia) Jr., Gabriel (Trish), Annie (Carlos), Louie (Michelle) and Fernando; 16 grandchildren: Ricky (Jessica), Ray Jr., Mark, Ruben, A.J., Jessica, Carlos, Ariana, Alicia, Julia, Eric, Michael, Gabriel, Christian, Alex and Nicolas; and two great-grandchildren: Sabastian and Janae. We’ve all been blessed by your love, and, support. We love you very much, and, wish you a very happy 50th

anniversary! Thank you, Mom and Dad, for giving us the gift of family!
