Mark your calendars, because the Red Cross is sponsoring a blood drive at Hayden High School, on Wednesday, May 11, from 9 a.m. – 2 p.m. The American Red Cross, the hospitals and the patients are asking that you please donate. During May through September, Arizona is often hit the hardest with a need for blood, and, with a lack of donors as the

blood drives from high schools and colleges peter out, and, the winter visitors remove themselves to cooler regions. Statistically, the number one reason people do not donate blood is that they are not asked. With that in mind, if you have not donated before, please come in and give it a try? If you have done so, before, please come back and bring a friend?

Each person who donates can potentially help to save up to three lives with just 60 minutes of your time. If you cannot donate due to medications, travel, etc., then please ask someone to donate in your place? And, please, ask to make sure if you qualify to donate, before

By Cindy Tracy The decision has been made! Hayden-Winkelman Unifi ed School District No. 41 will move to a four-day school week starting in the 2011-2012 school year. The April 27 decision by the H-W governing board followed the second of two required public hearings on a proposal to change to a four-day schedule for the district. The fi rst of these hearings on April 13 contained a detailed presentation by District Superintendent Jeff Gregorich on the rationale behind the proposed change and its pros

and cons. This was followed by public and board input and discussion. Gregorich recapped and summarized that fi rst hearing at the second one. Topics included a possible increase of daily attendance by teachers and students with a four-day week as appointments outside of school could be made on Fridays. “But we also talked about moving towards a science, technology, engineering and math philosophy as far as instruction,” he said. The four-day schedule would allow for some serious planning on this

STEM curriculum. Under the current schedule with more half days, he said, this type of planning doesn’t get done at the level needed to make this type of change possible. Teachers could possibly come in some Fridays “to really look at what we’ve done and where we’re at and plan for the coming quarter,” he said. “One of the biggest issues in American education is the fact that we spend all our time teaching and a lot of that time planning for good instruction,” he said. “That is in every school

Due to a recent rash of vandalism of political signs in the Hayden area, citizens are reminded that this activity is unlawful. According to Arizona Revised Statutes, Chapter 8, number 16-1019 “A: It is a class 2 misdemeanor for any person to knowingly remove, alter, deface or cover any political sign of any candidate for public offi ce for the period commencing forty-fi ve days prior to a primary election and ending seven days after the general election. “B: The provisions of this section shall not apply to the removal, alteration, defacing or covering of a political sign by the candidate or the authorized agent of the candidate in support of whose election the sign was placed, or by the owner of private property on which such signs are placed with or without permission of the owner, or placed in violation of state law, or county, city or town ordinance or regulation.” Enforcement of this law is explained in Chapter 8, number 16-1021 also in the Arizona Revised Statutes

By Lana Jones Copper prices have been on a general downward trend over the last three months but remain high compared to last year’s prices. July copper was trading at $4.26 Tuesday morning.Resolution Copper Resolution Copper announced that reclamation work is commencing on 39 acres of old tailings immediately north of Superior. Resolution plans to shape, cap, and seed the old tailings so they will blend in with their surroundings. The $3 million project is expected to take six months to complete. The company said it would take extra precautions to manage noise and dust because the site is close to homes. There will be some blasting

north of Resolution’s water treatment plant to gather the material needed to cover the old tailings. Blasting will only occur between 9:00 am and 3:00 pm. Resolution also announced the release of their 2010 Sustainable Development report. It reports on the company’s social well-being, economic development, and environmental stewardship efforts.ASARCO A Tucson woman won a sexual harassment lawsuit against Asarco, the Arizona Daily Star reported last week. A federal jury awarded Angela Aguilar almost $870,000 in the case. The jury found that Asarco failed to stop the harassment even after Aguilar informed management.

Aguilar worked at the Mission Mine in Sahuarita. The suit said that her supervisor asked her for sex and touched her inappropriately. The Associated Press reported that Asarco offi cials said the award was excessive and that they would seek to have it vacated.Curis Resources Curis Resources announced their plans for a small drilling program at the Florence Copper Project site. Curis plans to drill six to ten holes approximately 1,000 feet deep over the next two months. The core samples obtained will be used for engineering and technical studies in the planning of future operations. The holes will be cemented and sealed after the drill program is complete.

Election Profi le

By Taylor Sheaffer Ritter During a phone interview conducted by Taylor Sheaffer Ritter on Monday, May 2nd, with incumbent Mayoral Candidate Monica C. Badillo, a se-ries of questions to compile a politi-cal profi le of Mayor Badillo for the public were asked. This profi le is meant to better inform the public of their options in the upcoming mail-in election, which the last day to vote is Tuesday, May 17, 2011. Taylor Sheaffer Ritter: Please state your full name for the Record.Mayor Monica Badillo: Monica C. BadilloTaylor Sheaffer Ritter: OK Wonder-ful. Just to make sure it is ok with you. This call is being recorded. Mayor Monica Badillo: OK. TSR: OK. So tell me what platform you are running on.Mayor Monica Badillo: To continue Hayden moving in the right direction, moving forward. TSR: OK. So what are you looking forward to accomplish if you are re-elected?Mayor Monica Badillo: To continue, (pause for consideration), I want to word if correctly. To try and complete some of the projects that I have started since becoming mayor, since being on the council. TSR: And what do those projects in-clude?Mayor Monica Badillo: The most important project is the the Waste Wa-ter project. We’ve been working on for over fi ve years. TSR: OK. Excellent. Anything else you are wanting to do?Mayor Monica Badillo: Yes, to im-prove the downtown area, which I have not been able to accomplish be-cause of Dr. Wilt owning all the build-ings, but we are working on that proj-ect currently. It is just taking a while. TSR: Ohh, that’s understandable. I mean obviously everybody is dealing with Dr. Wilt, so totally understand-able on that front, he’s kind of a pain for everyone. Ok. So what have you accomplished in your current term?Mayor Monica Badillo: We have improved, I feel we have improved on every department in the town. That begins with the police department as far as staff, equipment, etc. TSR: One thing I have noticed since I have been attending the town meet-ings is that you are in the black right now, which is obviously a great thing, you guys are evidently managing things really well. I mean, this is a huge triumph in this down turned economy. Mayor Monica Badillo: That is one thing that I was going to say, that since I have been mayor the town has been in the black, we have not been in jeopardy of running in the red. TSR: Yeah, it looks like you guys are doing really well. Umm. Can you tell me about any volunteer experience you’ve had either before you were mayor or since you have been mayor? It helps lend your commitment to the community. Mayor Monica Badillo: Yeah, there’s been a lot of experience, it began with the fi re department, the volunteer fi re department. Now that is not 100% volunteer, but there are times that I do things with the fi re department and we don’t get paid. When I go on a fi re call and it is for the fi re department, we get paid per hour when we are doing work, but when there are events, we don’t get paid, it is all strictly volun-teer. Like if we get called to events to help cook or set up things, we don’t get paid for those things. Fire calls and meetings are what we get paid for and sometimes that information is not—people don’t understand that part of it. TSR: I will make that clear. Mayor Monica Badillo: I have vol-unteer experience from when I help out at the school—I help out in dif-ferent classrooms. Kids remember me from when we do fi re prevention at the school, they remember me. TSR: Oh cool. Yeah that is a great way to get out in the community through the kids, since they get excited about it and then they go talk about it with their parents. OK, so what would you say has been a struggle since you have been mayor?Mayor Monica Badillo: Ah struggle. Trying to please people, that’s very diffi cult, because when you make de-cisions, people aren’t always going to be happy about things, there is always going to be someone that is upset; you can’t please everybody. That’s been the biggest thing for me, because I‘ve made some people upset and I totally didn’t do it on purpose. Just because I felt and not just me, the council felt that it was in the best interest of the town, and making people upset with-out decision and them not understand-ing what was behind the decision or people assuming that I did this on pur-pose to hurt them or whatever. That has been my biggest struggle has been people getting upset with me because of decisions I’ve made and I’ve never done anything on purpose to hurt any-one; there are a lot of people who, to this day, will not speak to me because they feel that I’ve made the wrong de-cision. It’s hard to please people. TSR: Oh that’s too bad. It must be

Incumbent Monica Badillo vies for Hayden Mayor seatespecially hard being in such a small town it must be very diffi cult. Not that being a writer is anything like being a mayor but I know where you are com-ing from because you’ll write some-thing and someone will be displeased with it and then get in your face about it. It’s like ‘I wasn’t focusing that on you.’Mayor Monica Badillo: Right. And a lot of times it is hard because you can’t explain and you can’t defend yourself because you don’t know about it and you fi nd out later on what was said or what had been spoken about you. I would fi nd out months later when I would try to talk to some-one and they wouldn’t talk to me and then I’d fi nd out and think ‘ oh that was months ago’ but it’s already too far gone. TSR: Would you encourage your con-stituents to come to the town meetings so that they can actually see why you are making these decisions and fi nd out what’s behind them? Mayor Monica Badillo: Yes. Defi -nitely. We’ve told people to come to the meeting. I want to hear from people. Sometimes it is hard to make decisions because we don’t hear from people and we will make a decision and we don’t have public input. It is diffi cult to make a decision to please people because we don’t know what their stance is. As a council we try to make things better the people and it is diffi cult at times because people don’t go and I know, a lot of people it is diffi cult at times because some of them don’t have the time or transpor-tation, especially with elderly people. I’ve always encouraged them, always encouraged them to give me a call or stop by. I’ve always encouraged that. TSR: I don’t know why I am thinking of this in university terms, but do you have offi ce hours when people can come speak with you in an open door policy, if they don’t feel comfortable talking to you in the meeting and would rather have a more personal experience that they could come say from like noon to three on Mondays where they could come talk to you. Do you have anything like that? Mayor Monica Badillo: There’s nev-er been any hours set up but anytime

anyone has ever requested a meeting with me, I make time because of my work schedule it was always differ-ent. Now I have a job that I know my hours every week, it’s not changing hours. So now if it is requested or if I feel it is needed, I could do that. Any-one that wants a meeting can call the town hall and request it and they can tell them what hours I am available. I will make time. Currently it is be-tween 2p.m. and 5p.m. which is when I get out of work. TSR: Cool, very cool. One question that I do need to ask because I did ask Mr. Vasquez, did you ever have any legal action brought against the town? Mayor Monica Badillo: (pauses and laughs) I personally have not. TSR: OK. I just needed to ask. Since it is a public profi le for an election, if there is anything that you needed to explain, I just wanted to give you a chance to, if you have nothing then awesome. Is there anything else that you want your constituents to know that they may not already know about this upcoming election or anything that you are trying to promote in the town?Mayor Monica Badillo: (pasues for consideration) No. I just want to continue Hayden moving forward. What some people don’t understand is that it takes a lot of time, I hope people—I would like people—I don’t want to say that people don’t under-stand—what I would like people to understand is that big things that we try to accomplish take time and not weeks or months, sometimes it takes years. That’s the diffi cult thing and some people have tried to come on the council and make changes and they realize how long it takes for something to be put into place be-cause of technicalities or legalities. Everything has to be legal, we have to ensure that everything is done legally, which means working with our attor-ney to get through the paper work and process for things to be accomplished. It takes time and I know that it has to become frustrating for our citizens. TSR: Right and a lot of people do not understand the bureaucratic pro-cesses that most everything has to go through; I mean there are different

Monica Badillodepartments and different, uh, coun-cils that you have to go through to get approval and like you said there is due process through legal and policy enactment. It’s the same thing on the national level, or federal level I guess you would say, where it just takes a lot of time for these things to go into motion. A lot of people did not un-derstand why it takes so long for the Health Care bill to go into action im-mediately, it is because there are a lot of department that need to be covered. So yeah, that will defi nitely be ex-plained. Is there anything else that you would like me to note?Mayor Monica Badillo: I know our senior citizen center is doing really well and serving the entire communi-ty, not just serving Hayden but many of the surrounding communities and I think you probably heard that. TSR: Yeah. I did an article on that [Hayden Senior Center] and she men-tioned that you serve something like twenty communities and that is pretty huge. Mayor Monica Badillo: Yeah (exu-berantly). That is something that we have been able to collaborate with Pinal Gila Council for Senior Citi-zens and service not just the town of Hayden but all the surrounding com-munities in the Copper Triangle. TSR: Oh Yeah. It’s a great program. I got to see how it impacts people, not just in the Senior Center, I saw what it did for them, but I also got to follow them during meal delivery and was able to see how much joy that brought them because it is an interaction that they don’t usually get, so that was pretty cool to see that. Mayor Monica Badillo: The other thing I wanted to comment on is, I don’t want to say that I am proud of

it, I am excited about rather, are the things we do on an annual basis to give back to the community. Our Sep-tember Fiesta event that was started by myself and another council mem-ber who has since passed away, we’ve tried to bring back the Hispanic cul-ture. It’s a fi esta to bring back our cul-

ture that we have on an annual basis and will continue to have on an annual basis. That is something that I am re-ally proud of and people comment all the time how happy they are about it. And most of the time our budgets are small for this and we don’t spend a

From Your SonMarkie Baltarez

By Taylor Sheaffer Ritter During an interview conducted in the Copper Basin News office by Taylor Sheaffer Ritter on Wednesday, March 30, at noon, with Hayden Mayoral Candidate Jose J. Vasquez, a series of questions to compile a political profile of Vasquez for the public were asked. This profile is meant to better inform the public of their options in the upcoming mail-in election, which the last day to vote is Tuesday, May 17, 2011. Taylor Sheaffer Ritter: Please state your name.Jose Vasquez: Jose J. VasquezTaylor Sheaffer Ritter: What platform are you running on?Jose Vasquez: MayorTSR: I mean, what are you hoping to accomplish if elected? Jose Vasquez: My first priority, if elected, is basically to begin with the completion of the sewer sanita-tion project. This has got to be done

as soon as possible and as quickly as possible. I don’t know if you are aware of it, Hayden lost the funding for it the last time and if this is not completed in a timely manner and whatever, I hope that Hayden does not lose the funding again. So that will be my first priority. I don’t know exactly what the status is right now, but I haven’t seen any progress on it in the last four years.TSR: Is there anything else you are looking to accomplish if elected?Jose Vasquez: Well, there’s other items that need to be looked into and addressed and basically I will seek the input of the Police Department, the Chief of Police and the Police officers as far as what is needed to combat the problem that is rising in Hayden right now as far as vandalism, burglaries and arson. I don’t know what is need-ed to accomplish this, if it is training, the officers will get the training, if it is equipment, I will see to it and use

Election ProfileVasquez announces candidacy for Mayor

all my resources to furnish whatever equipment they need.TSR: So, how would you go about getting this equipment for them if the town does not have the funding?Jose Vasquez: There’s organizations that are willing to help out, as far as the county attorney’s office, where it’s called the RICO fund, we can tap into that, the police department can tap into that and the money can be used to buy new equipment. As far as training, there’s also a lot of train-ing going on whether it is in Phoenix, Mesa, Globe, so the training is avail-able. Well, I shouldn’t say available, but it’s out there, all we have to basi-cally do is look into the schedule, for when the trainings that are needed are being put on either by Post or let’s say like SNO which is a drug intervention program. So the training is out there, all we have to do is basically look into it and see when they are being put on. Furthermore, there are a lot of op-portunities that I would seek and try to use all my resources to better the community as far as the senior citi-zen’s program, get more programs in for the elderly and whatever is needed for them, like medical, medical trans-portation, umm entertainment as far as more classes like quilt making, painting, whatever, I would have to seek some input from them as to what they would like and what kind of programs they would like and then I would seek out these programs wher-ever I may be able to obtain to them and bring them into the Hayden area as well. Naturally, basically the over-all operation of the town of Hayden. TSR: Ok. Right now I believe the town [of Hayden] is in the black, I know that it is not over-budget or any-thing like that. What specifically do you have a problem with the way it is being run right now? I know that most people run for office because they have a problem with what’s going on right now, is there anything specific? Jose Vasquez: Well I was not aware that the town of Hayden was in the black or on the verge of being in the black. If this is the case, then I would have to look into, well first of all, I would have to get an audit of the de-partment, as to what funds are avail-able, the resources that are available, and where all this money is going to how it’s being spent…TSR: I mean they’re not over budget, they’re under budget; and so it seems like they’ve been managing their money fairly well, so that’s what I meant by ‘in the black’, that they’re doing just fine. So I was just wonder-ing what specifically with the cur-rent government, what problems do you have with them, what would you like to see them change? I just mean, people usually run because they are dissatisfied with what is currently go-ing on?Jose Vasquez: At the present time, I see basically that the present admin-istration is not taking full opportuni-ties to better the community and that is one of the reasons that I am running for mayor. I live in Hayden, I am a resident of Hayden and I want to bet-ter the community. There are a lot of

opportunities out there that the town can tap into get resources for better parks, better roads, better housing, and I don’t see none of this, these opportunities being tapped into and that’s one that I will tap into because I want to better Hayden, in the beautifi-cation. Also at the present time, I, now there maybe, but I don’t see anyone doing anything as far as cleaning up all these properties that have building that have been burned down and this has to be addressed also. Their all an eyesore, an eyesore, and it makes the community look run down. Property owners have to be held accountable and either they clean up the debris and the hazard that is in that yard or the town will step in and clean up that area and then bill the owners.TSR: Can you speak about your vol-unteer experience within Hayden? Have you done any volunteering in Hayden?Jose Vasquez: I was a former police officer for Hayden, during my tenured years as a police officer, I volunteered a lot of hours of my own time, as far as the Block Watch, implementing the Block Watch. We attempted to imple-ment the block watch several times, unfortunately.TSR: Were there specific project with which you volunteered your time? Just because I need to verify facts before I write the article. So I just need to verify the volunteer hours and what not. I can’t just write that you volunteered without checking, do you know what I mean?Jose Vasquez: Specific, specific, I’m gonna say no. I didn’t actually go and volunteer to like work with the elder-ly at the senior citizens, in those situ-ations, no. When I say I volunteered, basically I volunteered my own time to do a lot of extra things to protect the community. Umm drug interdic-tions, uh I went out on surveillance on my own in these areas, basically in the frame of police work and that kept me quite busy so I was not able to re-ally really volunteer to uh, lets say, like volunteer myself to ( long pause) to transport the elderly to medical care. I wasn’t able, I didn’t have the time to volunteer to go into the senior citizens and assist with whatever they needed. I didn’t have the time. TSR: Have you ever, I guess have you ever been involved in lawsuits with the town? These are just things that we have to present…(got cutoff)Jose Vasquez: Yes. Unfortunately, unfortunately, I had to take some legal action against the town of Hayden, the reason being that they made some poor decisions and unfortunately they are still making poor decisions and I had no choice but to take legal action against the town. TSR: Do you mind discussing the na-ture of the law suits?Jose Vasquez: (long pause) basically I believe that the two legal actions, or the two or three legal actions that I took against the town of Hayden dealt with, uh uh, my wages or hourly (long pause) what happened was that at one time, they attempted to take my vacation and comp time away and I advised them that they could not do it, but yet, they more or less laughed and said ‘Yes we can’ and I said ‘No so therefore I had to take legal action and, uh, I proved them wrong. I won. Second time was when I was promot-ed to Sergeant. They indicated that I was a salary person, I told them I was

lot of money but we are able to give back to the community; the commu-nity really enjoys spending time at the fiesta. The other thing is our Easter Egg hunt that we have for the kids. We attract people from all over, Dud-leyville, Kearny, Winkelman. People come out and they don’t have to spend any money, everything is free. It’s not very expensive for us because we have great sponsors. ASARCO helped this year and the chamber of commerce helped out this year. We collaborate with all of the larger business in the area to help with these events and we are able to give back to the community for a very low expense to the town of Hayden. TSR: Yeah, it sounded like it was re-ally cool. I am sorry that I missed it. Mayor Monica Badillo: Yep, think-ing of that, our relationship with ASARCO has improved tremen-dously; we have a lot of open lines of communication with ASARCO and they’ve stepped up and helped enor-mously in the community. We have their full support for a lot of things, our whole overall relationship and communication with ASARCO has improved so much since I can remem-ber from when I first served on the council. TSR: Cool. Is there anything else that you want me to note in the article? Mayor Monica Badillo: Ohh no. I am sure I will think of something when after we hang up. [She did, explana-tion below]TSR: Well, I want to thank you for taking the time to speak with me. I re-ally appreciate this opportunity. Mayor Monica Badillo: You’re wel-come, thank you for the interview. -END INTERVIEW-Following our recorded interview, Mayor Badillo called back and ex-pressed that the one thing she did not mention was simply that many people do not understand that along with those who sit on the council, as Mayor, she is not compensated for her time. Her position as Mayor, along with the positions of the council members are 100% volunteer positions. This means any hours spent during public meet-ings, private meetings with constitu-ents, chamber sessions, phone calls, research, etc. are all done on their own time. This is a big deal considering that most municipal governments allot at the very least a monthly stipend to their elected officials as payment for their time; to find individuals that are willing to put in the (sometimes) long and hard hours to run a town govern-ment is really remarkable.

BadilloContinued from Page 3

Georgie DigsBy Georgie Wood([email protected]) It had to have been before

May of 1960 when I answered a knock on our door and found that the visitor was John D. Rockefeller, Jr., an elderly and distinguished-looking man. He and his wife had come in a chauffeured car to picnic at the creek, and he came to the house to thank us for allowing them to go through our property to their picnic site.

He shook my hand, putting something in it, but I didn’t look to see what it was until he left. It was a folded fifty-dollar bill! I didn’t know what to do! Afterwards, Cliff told me that when Mr. Rockefeller came by, Cliff was out in our big open shed in our front lot, servicing our 1937 Model KO Allis-Chalmers tractor, and he was dirty with oil on him. When Mr. Rockefeller reached his hand out to shake Cliff’s

hand, Cliff hesitated because of the oil on his hand, but, surely seeing the Standard Oil can nearby, Mr. Rockefeller said, “That’s alright, that’s how I made my money.” I imagine his visit to Aravaipa Creek was due to his interest in conservation. His biography is very interesting.

We often had friends and relatives visiting us, or people who enjoyed the drive to buy Aravaipa produce, but Aravaipa Canyon had become more well-known because of the publicity to “save it”, so many other people wanted to come to the canyon, and those who came through the west end of the canyon had to go through our property first to see the inner canyon, the Box. There also were those who wanted to see the higher range lands of the Salazars and ours, and some found out that it was possible to travel in a four-wheel drive over the road that then connected the two ranges, thanks to the 1957-built road through Virgus Canyon that mining engineer, Mr. Nichols, had hired Rucker Equipment Company of Tucson to build to the old Table Mountain Mine. In 1966, there was a magazine article describing such a trip that had taken place, and there

had also been a magazine article about a two-day hike that was taken by the Phoenix Sierra Club and the Youth Hostel Association through Aravaipa Canyon. Those articles encouraged others to do the same. In 1966, the Bureau of Land

Management (BLM) wanted the inner canyon to be set aside as a Natural Scenic Recreation Area. BLM hoped to get from us an easement to the lower boundary of that classified area, and there was talk of a parking area there and numerous picnic sites scheduled for 1970-1971. We had control of access through our private property, and we didn’t allow any vehicular traffic going upstream. There was even talk of condemnation! I wonder if the dangers due to creek floods was ever an important consideration in their planning?

In December of 1968, we received a notice from BLM that included the statements that Aravaipa Canyon had long been recognized as a unique and outstanding scenic area, that it is receiving increased public use, and that these lands will be designated as the Aravaipa Canyon Primitive Area and managed to protect the Wilderness characteristics of the canyon. Then, in January of 1969, the Secretary of the Interior established the over-five thousand acre Aravaipa Canyon Primitive Area, and the BLM’s management plan was to coordinate recreation, grazing, and other public uses, besides wildlife management. We felt that all we needed

was the assurance of good health, good rains, decent cattle prices, not going broke, and certainly not being pressured! We had the chance to sell the ranch to a developer who wanted to subdivide it, but we certainly didn’t want to do that! Our Panorama Ranch range was in good shape after all the improvements that had been made. Those costly improvements included stock-watering tanks and wells, and, of course, roads had been

built to reach those areas. Our improvements nor only helped our cattle, but helped the numerous wildlife of those days. Whenever we rode up on the range, we usually spotted lots of deer and javalina. Once, two lions were spotted fighting each other on a ridge top. Both Cliff and I had lost our

parents in the 1960’s, except

for Cliff’s dad, “Grandad Wood”, who had found it hard to believe that man had walked on the moon in 1969. At the age of ninety-seven years, he died in January of 1970, and I think he would have also found it hard to believe some of the things that were in store for Aravaipa Creek and its surrounding country.

By Taylor Sheaffer Ritter The Bearcats managed to walk away this week with some wonderful scores to brighten the spirits and, well, celebrate about. The song ‘Struggle’ by Ringside comes to mind when thinking about this week of play: “There goes Elvis kicking up a landslide-Close shave now he’s back on the flipside.” These athletes are fantastic; with great skills on the field, Elvis style…they’ve got nice flair. Especially when they slide into home! Their first game against Desert Christian on Tuesday, April 26, hit a little too close to home, probably shaving off some of their spirit with a final score of 1-12, yet if there is anyone that can rally a team, it is Herb White. The team came back literally on the flipside to crush their next opponent, poor poor Pusch Ridge…they did not have a good Thursday and to be sure, their Friday was a little grim too. They had to go home and enjoy the beauty of their mountain backdrop since they did not have the pleasure of enjoying a win; the boys from Ray went ahead and smacked that clean out of their hands with a gripping final score of 21-5. WHOOOP! Fresh off the high from that incredible game in Tucson, the Bearcats traveled on Friday, April 29, to Queen Creek to

Bearcats post wins over Pusch Ridge, Canyon State

battle it out against Canyon State Academy. This game was also mega awesome, though not to the extent of the previous game, it was still one of those games that gives a nice warm fuzzy feeling. Following the battle, the Bearcats cruised home with a winning score of 14-4. At press time, the team was playing a game on Tuesday, May 3, in Bisbee to further determine their standing in the state playoffs, the score is

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.

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.

deciding that you cannot? Many people think that if they take medicines for blood pressure, cholesterol, pain killers, allergies, aspirin, etc. they cannot donate, but, most people who take these medicines can donate, as long as they feel well. Also, there is no deferral for tattoos and piercings as long as the donor received the tattoo and piercing at a regulated facility in Arizona or another state with a regulated facility. Another misconception is that if someone traveled to Europe they would be deferred from donating. The European deferral only pertains to people who lived in Europe from 1980 – 1990, or, in 1996. For instance if you lived in Germany in 1992, you are not necessarily deferred. Many people think to donate when there is a disaster, but, by the time disaster strikes, it is too late for donations to

help most of the victims. It takes approximately 48 hours to test the blood, and, to get it back into the community, so, it is important that the blood be available before the crisis. Most of the blood collected in southern Arizona, stays in southern Arizona. Occasionally, if the need is greater in other regions, such as might happen in times of natural disasters, then, the American Red Cross will strive to help those communities from available resources. “As most of you know the

south has really been hit by some disastrous weather. Over 300 people have lost their lives and several hundreds more are injured. It is imperative that the nation has enough blood to help during these tragedies,” says the American Red Cross. Again, the Red Cross, hospitals and the patients – who, of course, express the deepest gratitude -invite you to participate in the Hayden High School Blood Drive, from 9 a.m. – 2 p.m., on Wednesday, May 11. Donors will receive a free t-shirt as a

gesture of appreciation, as long as supplies last. To make an appointment, or, for more information, please call Stella Manriquez at 356-7876, ext. 1300.

district. Teachers have an hour planning time and during that hour of planning time they’re running off papers. They’re meeting with parents. There is just really no time to do the kinds of planning needed for that to be successful.” Recapped also were various other items that had been presented in the first hearing.

In the special business meeting that followed the second hearing, the board voted unanimously to approve a four-day school week calendar for the 2011-2012 school year. The schedule is one of two that the board had considered. Gregorich had said at the hearing that the schedule adopted was not set in stone.

Adopted, though, was the “blue” schedule referred to as schedule number one. For details of the new schedule, parents and students should check with the school district. In other business at the meeting, the board discussed and approved the reassignment of Angelita Gregorich from first-grade teacher to elementary

school special education teacher. Also discussed and approved was the move of Charlene de los Reyes from elementary special education teacher to middle school special education teacher and Mary Deere from middle school special education teacher to district special education support teacher.

The board voted its permission to advertise for one “Highly Qualified” first-grade teacher. Accepted following discussion were retirement letters from Christina R. Alvarez and Phyllis M.F. Santa Maria. Another vote approved a quote for consulting services for federal projects from the auditing firm of LarsonAllen.

Public NoticeWHEN RECORDED, RETURN TO: Town of Kearny, Attn: Margaret Gaston, Town Clerk, PO Box 639, 912-C Tilbury Drive Kearny, AZ 85237FRANCHISE AGREEMENT BETWEEN SOUTHWEST GAS CORPORATION AND THE TOWN OF KEARNY, ARIZONASection 1 – Grant of FranchiseThere is hereby granted to Southwest Gas Corporation, a corporation organized and existing under and by virtue of the laws of the State of California (herein called “Grantee”), its successors and assigns, the right and privilege to construct, maintain and operate its gas 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, 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.

Applicable and customary permit and inspection fees (i.e. plan review, inspection, etc.) and pavement (cut surcharge) damage fees, established by ordinance of Town, necessary for the construction, installation and other work to be conducted by Grantee hereunder. 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/

not a salary person, I was an hourly individual or an individual employee working hourly, uh, that they would have to understand that there’s two type of positions in that category where one is considered hourly and the other is considered salary. If one sergeant is called an administrative sergeant and all he does is stay in the office, that sergeant is not entitled to overtime. The other sergeant who is out supervising, patrolling, do ar-rests and issuing citations, basically the same type of work as the police officers, is entitled to overtime and comp time. They determined that I was a salary person and I said no I am not and therefore I will get paid my overtime, they laughed, they took the suggestion and advice of two in-dividuals, that may or may not have known, but they should have known since one was the attorney and the other was the chief of police and they had been in those positions for quite a while, that um, uh, an individual who is, uh, in that type of position should be paid hourly or has overtime. They advised the council that I did not have a case and I told the council, I told the mayor, I talked to council mem-bers that they were wrong and they should not listen to these individuals because they were gonna lose. And at that time they only owed me a small amount of hourly income that I was claiming and I advised them ‘hey, we go into court, you’re gonna pay more than what you owe me’ and they laugh at me and so therefore, I took legal action and I won.TSR: Was there anything else? Those were the only two times?Jose Vasquez: Yeah, approximately.TSR: Are you a regular attendee of town meetings? Because if you have problems with the town, the best way to speak up about it is at the town meetings, since they don’t know other than you going.Jose Vasquez: I was a regular at-tendee of the town council meetings and so forth, but unfortunately, umm, the council, because of who I am and what I stand for, and I stand up for my rights as well as others, they had some animosity against me and it doesn’t matter what I said or suggest-ed or brought up, this was not taken into consideration and because it was not taken into consideration, again they made mistakes. In one situation I spoke up when they were renewing the contract for Joseph Martinez who was contracted out to the be the chief of police of Hayden, I told them that if they renewed the contract and at a later date would terminate the chief of police they would have to pay him for the remainder of the contract. Basi-cally that suggestion was not taken, they said that basically they knew what they were doing and I said ‘Ok Fine, don’t listen to me’. They went ahead and renewed the contract and I would say about a month or so later, they terminated Joseph Martinez, and what happened? They had to pay the town of Kearny for the remaining of the contract, so who lost? The town of Hayden. Why? Cause they did not heed the suggestions that was given to them, they made bad decisions and their still making bad decisions. TSR: Would you be letting go a lot of people if you were made mayor?Jose Vasquez: No. No. At the pres-ent time I cannot afford to be going in like uh…what do you call it, a dic-tator or a truant, dismissing people or whatever because I need them. If I don’t have them then I’m lost. A leader is not leader without the people behind him. And at the present time, I need all the people that are in office now because they’re gonna be my backbone. So the answer is no, I am not going to be letting anyone go.TSR: Is there anything else you want to represent in the article?Jose Vasquez: The only thing I can say is that I hope I have the support of the people (long pause) that basi-cally my concern is to better the town of Hayden and its residents.TSR: Why do you feel like you de-serve the support of the town?Jose Vasquez: I feel that, uh, I deserve the support of the people because I am a resident of Hayden, I own property in Hayden, I have known the people of Hayden, and they know that basi-cally what I say I generally complete and do. I am not basically one that will listen to ideas, that go in one ear and out the other, and this is what the people of Hayden needs, some-one that will stand up for their rights. And I would say that the majority of the people in Hayden know that I will protect their rights and will stand up for their rights and I believe that I have earned their respect and because I am a citizen (pause) I hope that with their support, I can accomplish what I intend to do. TSR: OK is there anything else you would like me to put in the article?Jose Vasquez: No. Basically that I appreciated their support on the pri-mary and I hope that I will have their support in the oncoming election. -END INTERVIEW- Jose Vasquez was given full oppor-tunity to speak about any issues in his past during this interview. Claims of his volunteer service were unable to be verified.

unknown at this time, however it will be updated when it is known. Softball The Lady Bearcats had a similar type of week, only flipped. Watching these girls play brings to mind ‘Robot Rock’ by Daft Punk…it’s just hard core; kind of like the scene from Iron Man 2 where Robert Downey Jr. and Don Cheadle are battling it out in that sweet pad in Malibu—to this song, aptly picked by DJ Adam Goldstein (RIP, dude). The jams of this sweet beat, with all its jabs and punches fits seamlessly with the all the slams

outta the park produced by The Ladies. Just listen to the song, you’ll understand if you’ve had the pleasure of one of the Lady Bearcat games. Last week the ladies split with Desert Christian and Pusch Ridge. At Desert Christian on Tuesday, April 26, Anissa Newman got the win with seven strikeouts, two base on balls and giving up six hits. Coach Dan Hatfield explained, “We managed only five hits with Anissa Newman and Breauna Hathaway getting one each and driving in one run with their hits. Lacee Reidhead, Paula Real and Samantha Juvera each singled and scored.”

Each of the ladies played their awesome part in this shut out, 5-0! Following this game, the ladies met up with the gals from Pusch Ridge on Thursday, April 28, and unfortunately this is where the flip took place. Anissa Newman took the loss giving up 11 hits while striking out one girl and no walks. Coach Hatfield said, “The Lions held us to two hits one each by Samantha Juvera and Anissa Newman.” The game ended with a final score of 0-8, an upsetting loss but the ladies will come back from this. Currently the girls are still ranked #1 in the Arizona 2A South region with an overall record of 16-6 and league record of 8-2. Currently the upcoming games for playoffs are unknown, as soon as they are known they will be updated online.
